Mr. Sostre faces life possible imprisonment under New York’s “persistent offender” law because it was his third felony conviction. Supporters of Mr. Sostre will demonstrate in Plattsburg at the sentencing next week. iQi Buffalo as well as many other northern cities.” A spontaneous outburst erupted on Buffalo’s East Side in 1967, and Police Commissioner Frank Felicetta charged that Mr. Sostre was the leader. Although Mr. Sostre was initially accused of riot and arson, he was finally convicted of selling worth of heroin and $15 sentenced to a 25 to 30 year prison term. Many observers questioned the fairness of the 1967 trial, since the chief prosecution witness, Arto Williams, recanted his testimony after the trial. In a sworn statement, Mr. Williams has since claimed that his cooperation with police was obtained in exchange for leniency in a separate drug-related case. When Mr. Sostre appealed to the State Supreme Court, however, Judge John Curtin refused to overturn the conviction anyway. The case is now being appealed through federal courts. • ‘Jailjouse lawyer' Mr. Sostre has spent most of his seven years in prison in solitary confinement, including the last two and a half in Clinton State Prison, supposedly for refusing to shave off a quarter inch beard.

This cutback means that library acquisitions, telephone and mimeo facilities will be cut, and that no graduate assistants will be hired for the Graduate Student Employees Union (GSEU) have attacked Governor Carey’s proposed budget for the State University and criticized the Ketter administration for dealing complacently with the cutbacks. The UUP’s “all-member alert,” signed by legislative Chairperson Dr. James Lawler, accused the the summer. The University will also lose either 50-150 faculty lines or 200—600 graduate assistants (or a combination of the two), according to the graduate student group. “Rather than actively resist cutbacks,” charged the GSEU, “the University management has accepted the governor’s budget and now turns to paring off what they would call ‘excess baggage’ generating “a climate of fear” by drawing up “contingency plans” that determine who will leave if further cuts are made. Rather than deciding this, Dr. Lawler said, the administration should spend its time fighting cutbacks. “If we spend our time worrying about who will cut whom, about which department or individual is most expendable,” said Dr. Lawler, “the present fears will be realized and we will be administration of — oiir jobs, our minority programs, our wages.” — instruments of that realization.” Dr. Lawler called on all UUP members to joing the statewide letter-writing campaign against education budget cuts now being carried out by the New York State United Teachers (NYSUT).

With a new Student Association fSA) administration in power, the time is appropriate to analyze the successes and failures of its predecessor. The following, the first of a three-part series, discusses the election, the controversy and the budget effects both had on SA. for responsible the election said it was the hottest, nastiest race they had seen. It was the first year of People overseeing a reaction campaign regulation to the expensive, ill-monitored campaign of the previous year and the race was a long trail of - - tqrn posters, stolen newspapers, and premature electioneering. The results were such that the new administration’s prospects had to be rated cautiously. Like the Dancies administration the newly-elected government was a hybrid product of extensive ticket-splitting. Five of the eleven officers and coordinators were from President-elect Frank Jackalone’s Nova party, five from defeated candidate Bob Burrick’s Focus party, and one, Academic Affairs Coordinator Mark Humm, was an before it, independent. The Jackalone administration entered office in a position of serious political weakness that some say it never completely overcame. When Jon Dandes took office, the strategic positions of Vice President for Sub-Board I, Inc., and Treasurer were filled by members of his party. The only officer in a serious position to challenge Mr. Dandes’ leadership was David Saleh, the candidate for Executive Vice President on Gary Cohn’s ticket. Mr. Saleh chose not to do so, however, which made Mr. Dandes’ task much easier. Mr. Jackalone had no such His luck. National Affairs Coordinator, Michele Smith, was in Washington, where she would remain until the end of the semester. Two more of his five people were in the politically marginal offices of Minority Affairs and International Affairs. Only his Executive Vice President, running mate, and Scott Sdlimando, was in a position to be commited to Mr. Jackalone. The first few weeks of the Jackalone administration, then, were devoted to new officers feeling each other out, finding whose loyalties lay where, seeing who could be trusted, who could be handled, who could be ignored. In the midst of this consolidation process came SA’s first major which it never crisis, from recovered the budgets. Not since 1971-72 the - year any had academic administration taken a poll on students’ budgetary preferences. That spring, SA held a referendum on athletic spending with the ambiguous result that about one-third wanted athletics cut, it about one-third wanted increased, and about one-third wanted it maintained at present levels. The only other information had students’ anyone on was a petition preferences circulated by Western New York Public Interest Research Group (WNYP1RG). Fifty percent of the daytime undergraduates signed the petition which stated that WNYPIRG should be funded though no amount was specified. Finance Committee members explained that since no one knew what the students really wanted, a “status quo” budget was in order. “We don’t want to make policy with the budgets,” one member said. But inflation and the rise of new interest groups conspired - against plans to put the budget out in an orderly fashion. When organizations the various submitted totalling requests nearly $3 million to be filled as well as possible from $850,000 available, it became clear that all would not be well. Budget disruptions The rest, as the saying goes was history. A coalition formed Smaller e ntering Law class according to the Opinion. while an Additionally, increased number of freshmen supposedly left the school this fall for financial reasons, it is generally believed that attrition will remain at five percent. Law School Provost Richard Schwartz said the reduced entering class would require less freshmen sections and would permit a shift of faculty from first year to upper-level classes. The Law School projections hinge on receiving permission to hire five new faculty. Dr. Schwartz indicated that the entering class might have to be cut even further to prevent the from ratio student-faculty increasing if the new positions do not materialize.

During that time the Assembly took little action on other matters, earning for itself and for the Jackalone administration a reputation as a do-nothing group the that cared only about budgets. Many observers viewed the as paralyzed by problems, unable to administration budgetary treat other pressing issues. Routine business Others felt, however, that this reputation was largely overstated. One Assembly member pointed “Sure, the Assembly haggled over budgets, but the Executive Committee did its job.” Clubs got recognized, coordinators’ projects proceeded more or less without participation, Assembly’s the speakers came to campus or didn’t, committees were filled about as well as ever. But the out; budgetary preoccupations made it difficult to accomplish as much as people might have hoped. members of the Many administration, Jackalone including the President, had run a platform on of more responsibility for the Assembly.

Assembly reform The Jackaone administration tried numerous ways to make the a Assembly more effective, responsible body. Perhaps nothing is more illustrative of their efforts than the persistent attempt, begun when Mr. Jackalone was an Assembly member in the Benson administration, to change the SA amending Constitution’s procedure. Under the Constitution, an absolute 3/5 majority of the Student Assembly could amend the Constitution, that is 3/5 [a constitutional quorum J of all members. A legislative quorum is only 1/4 of the membership. As a freshman, Mr. Jackalone introduced an amendment to change this rule to 3/4 of all present members and voting. Since Assembly attendance was, and remains, sparse, any attempts at Constitutional reform were because doomed impossible to it proved a achieve constitutional quorum. This amendment remained a item recurring of business, deferred for months because no one could raise enough people to vote to change the Constitution.

The move will ensure that the Law School’s student body does not exceed 800. The Law School’s student newspaper, the Opinion, reported that the Admissions Committee’s original projection that a student body of 800 could be reached by admitting 300 students each year was “premised upon the fallacious assumption” that attrition would be 15 percent each yearLaw School officials now believe the attrition rate is not more than five percent. The 1973 entering class was 322. It was reduced to 300 in 1974. The Admissions Committee felt the five percent attrition estimate justified a further reduction to 265 to “maintain the faculty’s goal” of 800 students, (LSAT) scores and grade-point averages.

What the hell do you think I’m doing here?” Buffalo’s unemployment is officially set at 8.2 percent, but some economic observers say it is closer to 12 percent. In the black community, and especially among black youth, unemployment has climbed as high as 35 percent. Recession Serious unemployment has plagued Buffalo since the recession of 1970-71, when steel and other major industries layed off workers and threatened to shift some operations out of the state. Senator Jacob Javits (R.-N.Y.) was conducting a Senate committee hearing on local unemployment in Buffalo’s City Hall Monday, but refused to address the rally. The announcement by Donald J Blair, President of the Building Trades C9uncil, that Senator Javits had to return to Washington, was met with a chorus of boos. Mr. Blair said 7553 of the 18,327 members of the areas construction unions were out of work.

Page five . �I Editorial a-*’ The 'heresy' of Martin Sostre "He thinks too much — such men are dangerous. " Julius Caesar Act I, Scene2 With the persistence of a bloodhound, the American legal system has tracked Martin Sostre for eight years, refusing to rest until he is put out of circulation with the human race. Perhaps this is because Mr. Sostre understands and criticizes the nation's racism and phony ideals, and has had the audacity to share this knowledge with many people, both in prison and out on the street. If word were to get around that the American system of justice has a flaw or two, drastic measures like reform might even be contemplated. So the chase goes on. In 1966, Mr. Sostre opened an Afro-Asian Bookstore on Jefferson Avenue in Buffalo to help educate many blacks who had not had opportunities to learn how the American system systematically works against them. A year later, he was convicted of selling $15 worth of heroin and sentenced to 25-30 years in prison, even though he was originally accused of riot and arson after the spontaneous outburst by blacks on Buffalo's East Side. After the trial, Arto Williams, the chief prosecution witness, recanted his testimony, swearing in a Court of Law that he incriminated-Mr. Sostre only because the police promised him leniency in a separate drug-related case. If Mr. Sostre had been white, if he had not openly displayed his contempt for the forces which were now trying to silence him, the testimony would have been enough to ensure his acquittal. But Mr. Sostre's conviction was not overturned, and he remained in prison, spending most of his seven years there in solitary confinement. Prison officials say he was locked in solitary because he refused to shave off a quarter inch beard, but it doesn't take much insight to realize that he was put there because the team of prosecutors and judges had succeeded in erecting walls around his person, but not his ideas. So they removed him even further, to a veritable prison within a prison, where there would be absolutely no chance of him spreading heresies like the right of prisoners to receive uncensored mail and practice religion without being harassed. Five years ago, a Federal District Court Judge awarded Mr. Sostre $13,000 for being subjected to "cruel and unusual punishment" because he had been in the "box" for too long. The judge also ruled that rectal searches, which prisoners at Clinton State Prison had been forced to submit to to allow guards to look for hidden weapons, were "degrading in the sense that [they are] needlessly dehumanizing." But this Tuesday, Martin Sostre may be sentenced to life imprisonment under persistent offender statutes because he assaulted three prison guards while they forced him to submit to a rectal search. His felony qonviction must have come as no surprise to the people who had observed the behavior of Judge Robert Feinberg during the trial. After granting Mr. Sostre co-counsel status, which allows him to act as his own lawyer, Judge Feinberg threatened to gag him. He also refused to allow the defense to question prospective jurors about solitary confinement or rectal searches, and threatened another lawyer with contempt for telling the jury that Mr. Sostre was recognized as a "prisoner of conscience" by Amnesty International, a group that supports political prisoners. For the icing on the cake, twelve Sostre supporters were arrested for contempt after yelling "Free Martin Sostre" and were jailed for a week, even though the contempt citations did not specify the actions of particular individuals, which is required by law. Proponents of American justice must be gleefully awaiting the Judge's announcement that Martin Sostre will spend the remainder of his life in prison. They fear Sostre, not in a physical sense or because he is a convicted felon, but perhaps because they see some logic in what he has been saying and fighting for all these years, and are afraid to face up to it, justas the Judge refused to weigh Arto William's revised testimony because if he had, he would have been admitting that there were cracks in the judicial system that he personified. But ideas have a strange resiliency; unlike human bodies, which can be disgarded and forgotten about, they seep through and spread long after their champions are gone. Martin Sostre has as much right to be out on the street today as any man, but no matter what turn his fortunes take, one thing is certain: the ideas he thought about and helped others to think about will not lie quietly. t Page six The Spectrum . Friday, 21 March 1975 . STIP UPSTAIRS AND TIU MR. But seriously . . . by Sparky A1zamora I find it absolutely repulsive that foreigners cannot speak the English language correctly. Nearly everyone agrees that English is the easiest language to leam and master. The British agree. Those incorrigible Aussies agree. Even my little old’ Ukrainian granny (rest her soul) agreed: “You wanna find a job, you gotta know. English!” You gotta know English real good too. Most immigrants are laughed right out of the country when they go to apply for a job: “Please Mr. Fbreman, give me job cleaning up Port-o-sans. I stay away from children. 1 no make love to wife!” “Shit, foreigner, if 1 was the doctor who examined you before you entered this here country, I would have vaccinated you with a double dose of the clap and whooping cough. WILL YOU STOP SUCKING MY FINGERS!” “Aw, please, I do anything to get job. You want nylon stockings or Hershey Bars? My sister is really pretty ...” “Begone wetback, You got a license?” WIINRIRO before 1 call the dog catcher. All in all, it’s a pretty sad fate to befall our country’s second class citizens, the cream of the crap. Truthfully, though, it’s their own fault. 1 mean, when they were passing put brains at the Garden of follows logically in English. Here’s a test to prove it. (Circle the correct response.) “God (is/am) dead.” “Kiss me (sweetheart/shithead).” “Buy Bud. Buy (Beer/Bye).” “(What/Who) did you eat that your shirt is a mess?” If you chose the first answer in each bracket, consider yourself an expert in the chosen language. If you got anything wrong, you are PERVERTED. Perversion is a widely known trait of the non-English speaking individual. Therefore, monsieur, senor, or get had' you sweinhund, better those tongues-a-flappin’ if you want to know what’s happenin’ in what we call the Star Sp-Anglo Banner. Actually, there’s not much to it. Admittedly, we, as normal people, have been side-stepping our responsibility, perhaps we can call it our right man’s burden, to educate those less privileged than us to a language that Washington once referred to as “my * language.” (At this point, I realize that those unfamiliar with English might have had a difficult time plowing through the tough words like “can” and “you,” so, if there’s anyone acquainted with English out there, read these important rules (the only ones you’ll ever need to know) to somebody who may not have had the same luck as you. 1.) I before E except after C. One example: UTTER.”. Notice the I before the E. To ? monstrate the “except after C part, we present the example “RACEING.” While it is not spelled correctly, you get the idea that C precedes E which comes before the I. 2.) Know the difference between “sit” and “set.” Remember, sit is always a verb; set always speaking people must have been the sheep. You can surely bet that if everyone spoke English, it would be a much safer and cleaner world, free of pestilence, starvation and body Oder. (Which is not to say that foeigners have B.O. However, if the shoe fits . . .) There would also be a great (massive, if you allow) conversion towards Christianity. The Bible, refers to an appliance, such as TV or stereo. 3.) A prepositional phrase can never contain the since it is printed in English, would attract all nationalities, no matter what color, no matter what object of the sentence. (Most difficult concept to creed, no matter what make xof car, as long as understand: once stumped Mayor Makowski on everybody understands English. Everyone will eat of “Meet the Press.” So America, let's get on the ball, and teach the body and blood, and it will all be a corpathose foreigners some of our lingo; they’ll be corpa— corpa— corpus christi, amen, baby! Really, what’s so tough to understand? There is dribbling down the court of the English language for practically no grammar to deal with; everything a sure lay-up. And a SCORE. Eden, messing around with Attica support To the Editor. We, the UB Attica Support Group, would like to Community University th# for its participation and support around the Attica weekend and various fund raising activities. As a result of this support, enough money was raised to set up a bail fund for the brothers who are still incarcerated. We organized this bail fund for those who are awaiting trial and are unable to rally support and raise sufficient funds for their defense. This, of course, includes bail. thank For example, on February 20, this money was used for the release of brother Ja Ja Nkomo Kalomo (a/k/ak Michael Phillips) who is coming up for trial in April. We urge your continuous support and, once again, appreciate the opportunity we have been provided with to assist in the brothers defense.

Oddly enough, while the editors of The Spectrum often give the impression that they stand for peace and goodness, The Spectrum itself has apparently been bought off by the devil! Rather, 1 mean by the “military-industrial complex,” that gigantic conglomeration of interlocking business, military, and government interests which brought us (and the southeast Asians) the Vietnam war, among other things. As evidence of this, sell-out, I point to the advertisement in Wednesday’s (March 5) The Spectrum by the Grumman Aerospace Corporation. In this ad one of the largest weapons’ manufacturers in the world claims that its “real” business is merely “the science of moving things or how to get from here to there.” This is military-industrial hype designed to give unsuspecting people (or people who don’t want to think about their place in the order of things) an unduly favorable image of a corporation likely ends are profit and economic expansion, and whose means to those ends involve the prodcution (as well as the design) of devices made to iqjure and kill human beings. 1 think the Grumman ad is misleading, harmful (to us and to those on the receiving end of Grumman weapons), and inherently political selling us the whose — destructive and anti-human message of our The Spectrum insists military-industrial complex. If on printing such mindwash, they should provide equal time, i.e., space, for those who disagree and who are willing to present the other side of the story about Grumman, or ITT, or GE, or Sylvania So as not to impede the free flow of ideas about such crucially important (read: “life and death”) maters, ... this space should be free upon request. Walter Simpson U.B. Study/Action Group on Nuclear Disarmament and World Peace (CAC) �Billy Joel at Kleinhans Piano Man: perfect/ simple and outrageous When I first walked into Kleinhans lobby, I was hit with an intense surge of uneasiness, as I found myself surrounded by what appeared to be the entire Buffalo police department. Not that I had any reason to display any paronoia. It's just that the police have always had a knack for bringing my head down. So to avoid any further unease, I slipped downstairs to the lounge. I was greeted by a whole slew of plastic looking bartenders, who mixed up a whole slew of very plastic tasting drinks. But the drinks did they duty and I soon forgot about the men in blue. After a few more drinks it was brought to my attention that it was approaching 8:30. I hurried upstairs and settled back in my seat just as a disc jockey from QFM stepped up to the mike to plug his station, remind us that there was no smoking, and introduce the opening act, Tom Rush. Now it is very rare that the opening act to any concert is ever any good, and since I'd never heard of Tom Rush before, I really didn't expect much. So when Tom and his band came out, I clapped briefly, yawned and readied myself to be bored. SURPRISE! This guy was really good. Not just passable, but exceptionally fine. me an answer, but he did refill my plastic glass. I hung around the bar, shooting the shit some friends, awaiting the with from the ushers that the show was about to begin, or for the flickering of the house (a common practice in such high class establishments). But neither occurred. Instead I found myself rushing into the hall while Billy Joel was in the middle of "Streetlife Serenade." I was pissed off at the inefficency of the ushers but once I caught my breath and realized how good Billy sounded, I drifted off into limbo. God damn. I must've been in heaven. That sound system was just too announcement good. a concert where everything went right with the sound system, or I wasn't bored half to death by a set of drawn out jams, or fed up by a performer's massive egotism or pathetically drunken stupor. Well, come tomorrow, I still won't be able to remember. Unfortunately an amplifier blew a fuse during "Billy the Kid," but Billy paid no attention to it until the end of the song. Then he checked the amp, shook his head, rambled into a blues pattern and came up with a totally improvised song, "The Technical Difficulty Blues" which the band quickly picked up. A number one song in the making? to Just music Floating on Root Beer Just as I started to come back down to earth, Billy announced that the next song was dedicated to his favorite soft drink. He spent some time looseing himself up and then tore into "Root Beer Rag," a fast and Billy's set was pure and simple. No fancy assed glitter (he came out in a jacket and tie ala Hogey Carmichael explaining, "If I had come out in a T-shirt you would all be disappointed and you'd start grumbling 'Six Dollars and all I get is some guy in a T-shirt.' Then I could always come would break through the silence, Billy would give a startled look, fall back on his stool, and assure the crowd that he'd get to it. "It's all down on the list. I have that one under ‘big bang.' In the distance chords from the organ, in came the piano, the auditorium went insane with applause. "Captain Jack" the final song of the set. Classic, just classic. " Workin' overtime Billy came back for an encore of "Worst Comes to Worst" and "Ain't No Crime." The crowd wanted more and Billy was more than willing to oblige. But not before he ran into a hassle with someone backstage who didn't want him to continue because it would run into paying the help overtime. Money, Money, Money, the root of all evil. He stormed out on the stage just the same and sat himself down behind his piano. Then he shouted out to that someone, "Don't you ever pull no power Arkansas G-string Tom and his four piece back up band about their name I think it was Orphan) went through a couple of electric folk numbers before Tom soloed on an acoustic tune that he introduced as "A song about Arkansas a place where and if this song is true, I've never been . I don't ever want to go there." About two verses into the song Tom broke a G string but he calmly announced, "Uh-oh, I think we have a little problem here." He called for a new guitar and just picked up where he left off. The whole episode seemed to just follow in the same vien as the song, which was about cockroaches the size of parakeets and ugly girls (spelt with a (I'm not sure — ... . . capital UG). m The band returned for a medley of "Hey Bo Diddley" and "Who Do You Love." I was familiar with both and quite happy that I could sing along on this one. They were the only familiar songs Tom played throughout his set, but it didn't matter much because I was enjoying the whole thing any how. The band seemed to be enjoying themsleves, which also made me happy, bacause it seems to me that it's very rare that the performers are up there for any reason other than money. Tom finished his set with a song about a girl named Rotunda (he figured it had a nicer ring than Wanda or Beatrice) and then came back for an encore with a really fine song entitled "Desperado." Intermission After he left the stage and the house lights went on I sat, stunned, from the excellent performance. "Why the hell haven't I ever heard of him before?" This quescton oegan to haunt me, so in search of an answer, I followed the sea of people back downstairs and posed the question to my friend, the bartender. He couldn't give firey instrumental in which I witnessed some of the best keyboard work I've ever seen. The song worked itself into a frenzy and I became ecstatic as I watched how amazingly together these five guys were. MOTHERFUCKIN OUTRAGEOUSI The music was letter perfect throughout the entire concert. Johnny Almond's flute and sax work (something new to Joel's music) blended in excellently with the rest drums, Don of the band (Rhys Clark guitar, and Larry Smith Evans bass), especially during "roberta" and Traveling — - - Prayer." I can't remember the last time I've been out in glitter with wings and everything but I wouldn't feel right. Bowie can wear that stuff. He's skinny so it makes him look cute, but me? Naaaah."). No elaborate theatrics; there was no need for them. Billy was all the theatre needed for them. Billy was all the theatre needed. He set the mood with his piano and he held the crowd with his charm. Joel is undoubtedly the “king of the rap." His talk was spontaneous to the audience's comments and he had a word for everything. From "foxy thirteen year olds" to how to get the most out of your big hit single. Whenever a fan's cry to play a song on me Jack." Well the power stayed on and Billy gave it everything he had for the final two songs. Then he rose, thanked the audience, and shouted out, "Don't ever take any shit from anybody." I tried to heed his advice as I prepared to approach him for an interview after the show, but I was lead to the door by an army of beer bellied bouncers wearing Festival T-shirts before I could even get his attention. And Billy: It really doesn't matter anyhow Cause everybody loves you now. —Howie Spierer �Landscape photography Era of Exploration, an exhibition tracing the rite of landscape photography in the American West from 1860 until 1885, wHI open at the Albright-Knox AW Gallery tonight . at 8 p.ro. with a lecture by Weston Naef, assistant curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Department of Prints and Photographs.

CW fO*Q 'Stepford Wives': the perfect slaves by Dean Billanti Spectrum Arts Staff The impressions of America by noted British directors making their first film here have been interesting, and mostly negative. Since 1965 there have been Tony Richardson's The Loved One, John Boorman's Point Blank, John Schlesinger's Midnight Cowboy, expatriate American director Richard Lester's Petulia, and on a lesser artistic level, the films of Michael Winner Death Wish, etc. Now there is Bryan Forbes' The Stepford Wives The film tells the tale of Joanna {Katherine Ross) who moves from N.Y.C. to Stepford, Conn. to please her husband. Sunlit Stepford is not the glossy utopia these soft it appears to be. Something is wrong with the wives there focus, make-uped women are the epitomy of feminitiy and they speak in language suggesting TV commercial jingles. They are also slaves to their husbands. Joanna's best friend Bobby (Paula Prentiss) discovers the terrifying truth about the Stepford wives, and so does Joanna upon entering the Men's Association mansion on a stormy night. This is a beautiful and mesmerizing film on many levels. One of the many pleasures is it's acting. Katherine Ross is no longer the lovely girl of The Graduate or the girl-woman of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but a ravishing woman of immense charm. Her Joanna may seem crazily impulsive, but it is her intense need to survive and find the truth that drives her on. Paula Prentiss gives such a lovely, comic, free flowing performance that at times, it seems as though the director (her entrance in the film is one of its highest points) just wants to linger on her, waiting for her next ourburst. In small screen time, the usually wasted Tina Louise creates a very alive portrait of a sexually volatile woman who also succumbs. Nanette Newman (Forbe's wife) is also good as one of the first recruits ("I'll just die if I don't get that recipe,") of the Men's Association. Other parts are played well by easily recognizable fashion models. Bryan Forbes has directed some important movies in the past Whistle Down the Wind, King Rat, The Whisperers, and one very good one The L—Shaped Room, but nothing that approaches The Stepford Wives. He has staged some small sequences here. In one, Joanna (she is a professional photographer) spontaneously shoots photographs of children as the director's camera slowly moves in on her joyful face. Forbes also stages larger scenes a violent scene in a kitchen between Joanna and Bobby and Joanna’s final confrontation with "herself," with feeling and a fine eye for detail and sense of pace that persuades — — — — - — the entire film. Forbes has also made implicit a suggestion of a young woman in a sick Disneyland, and more subtly, Dorothy in a nightmarish Oz (there is also an undercurrent of disallusionment and melancholy over abandoned oppotunities Joanna says about her lawyer husband, “I thought he was going to be Perry Mason," or later when she visits a former lover, he writes on a piece of paper, "I'm not trapped — happy either."). One of the unique things about Ira Levin's fiction is that what we hope is a nightmare usually becomes reality {Rosemary's Baby was his and The Stepford Wives is based on a 1972 novel he wrote). Accordingly, in the film, when Joanna finally confronts the head of the Men's Association, she asks "Why do you do it," and he answers "Because we can." Joanna and Bobby do meet again at the film's climax, but not as "real" friends the lanes of the Goodwives Supermarket is the only road they'll ever travel again, and ironically Forbes uses a montage of stills to close the film Joanna's art has — — j. become a still life. -.a The Stepford Wives is hot only a better and more important film than Rosemary's Baby, it's also the best film in quite a while. Gene Callahan designed the superb production gleaming blue pools, shiny kitchens, and Surf and Turf green lawns and Owen Roizman (The Exorcist) did the lovingly apt cinematography. ; - rrt feiB&t Pagg eight. The Spectrum Friday, 21 March 1975 . Prodigal Sun �Lily Tomlin Leaving them all laughing by Randi Schnur Arts Editor Lily Tomlin seems to have come a long way since her days as a regular on Laugh-In. Ma Bell's devoted daughter Ernestine is still around, of course, as is five-and a-half-year-old Edith Ann, but Tomlin has finally outgrown her television personae. Now everyone from Madame Lupe, "The World's Oldest Beauty Expert" whose fountain of youth springs from a bottle of Johnson's Glo-Kote, to the elderly revivalist Sister Boogie Woman ("You got your teeth in a glass and those teeth are smiling!") joins those old favorites onstage as the comedienne runs through her — — paces. Performing before a packed house Buffalo State College's Union Social Hall last Tuesday evening, Tomlin presented a grab-bag of old and new material, extended routines and strings of one-liners on subjects that appeared to pop out of nowhere and were changes just as quickly. Delivered at a frenetic pace that left her hoarse and breathless by the end of an hour, the jokes ranged from mediocre to terrific, but with ehough of the latter to keep her audience laughing through the near-misses and downright failures. seated more than five rows from the stage, but the performer answered their complaints with a flippant "Hey,, get a new auditorium if you want to see.") Tomlin is funniest when she seems to be drawing her material from her own more-or-less recent baby Edith Ann, past whosometimes likes "to sit on the drain in the bathtub when the water runs out," hardly seems like a reflection of anybody's real childhood and her portrayal of a hysterical sorority sister complaining about members who try to get away with bone shoes when they're supposed to wear white (and, incidentally, hide fetuses in the incinerator) was one of her best. Her teenager of the '50's ("It was easy to be offbeat you were freaky if you had a wall phone."), whose most crushing insult to a rival at a school dance is "That creep? She washes her gymsuit every week!" resurrects every clishe the decade produced, but Tomlin does them better than anyone else. On the other hand, she shows very little talent for ad libbing, and Edith Ann's question-andanswer session fell horribly flat. But Tomlin's terrific rapport with her audience left them laughing no matter what she said, and that, after all, is what her act is all about. . at When a line about a wastepaper basket and a paper bag which switched places received no response at all, she repeated it word for word and then crashed down on the stage, where she stayed for about ten more minutes' worth of wisecracks all of which somehow seemed much funnier coming from the floor. (This tactic presented quite a problem for audience members — . . Happening to you' in theatre's darkness by Jay Boyar Arts Editor Not long ago, a lot of college kids, movie ad-men and newspaper critics (some of whom should have known better) began talking very seriously about movies that you had to "just let happen to you." With euphoric smiles, they'd grin and say, "Just sit back and soak it in." Internal Combustion Terry Doran's new play at the American Contemporary Theatre, is a theatre-piece which courts that same type of "mind-blown" comment. It's a short (40-minute) play which seats its small (25-person) audience in a claustrophobic column of chairs. The cramped room is then crowded with that absolute darkness experienced very rarely; you darkness literally cannot see you hand before your face. At center stage, a flickering light draws your attention while action takes place in minimal light on several levels: up, mid and downstage. Action blinks on and off instantaneously on these levels, using an old magician's stage trick to create a very filmic , — atmosphere. Success? If Internal Combustion partially succeeds, it does so purely on the basis of its "happening to you," which really doesn't amount to much of a basis at all, considering what it might have been. It reminds me a bit of the American Contemporary Theatre's production of The Unnameable, except that Beckett's play touches something very deep and wonderous in people while Doran's script is just a hip version of fluff. What happens in Internal Combustion is that one's environment is drastically altered almost exactly as it is in an amusement park funhouse. The dialogue and "plot" of Internal Combustion seeks to make a metaphorical linkage between the internal combustion engine, the individual's psyche, the films of Melies and Freud's interpretation of dreams. It's an extremely eclectic play, but it's eclecticism for its own sake without referring to anything larger. Had it worked, it would have created a dream-like experience touching our unconscious and staying with us, rather than an amusement park trip that's over when the ride ends. My guess is that much of the play is intentionally comic, trying for a pseudo-sophisticated comedy based on the humor of gratuitous eclecticism random name-dropping, as it were. The humor doesn’t ignite for the same reason that I'm not so sure it was intentionally comic it's just too esoteric. Internal Combustion badly needs a solid frame, a fixed point of departure. As it stands, it's ferris wheels and cotton candy. You keep waiting for a few seconds of conventional stage business to give you a handle on the rest of the show. Internal Combustion continues Friday and Saturday nights at 7, 9 and 11 p.m. through April 5, at the American Contemporary — — — For printed copies of: resumes stationery posters fliers brochures business cards invitations memo pads forms Come to Latko printing, 31 71 Main Street.

In this book, Francis lanni examines the similarities in the organization of the "families" and the sociological factors behind the mafia. One of the major points of this book is that socially approved routes of escaping poverty are often closed for ghetto dwellers. Organized crime is a quick escape path from the ghetto for the blacks and Puerto Ricans as it once was for the Irish and the Jews. He maintains that the Italians are still the backbone of organized crime because they have all the major drug connections and the means to protect them and that, for the present, the blacks and the Puerto Ricans are acting as agents to get the lucrative vices into the ghetto areas. He sees the emergence .of both the black and Cuban mafias in their takeover of the smaller aspects of syndicated crime, such as fencing and prostitution. lanni feels that the Italians have moved into enough legitimate businesses to absorb the loss of revenues from these vices. He cites the example of the Lupollos who, through the Americanization of the family (i.e., shifting traditional family ideas) have only been able to keep four out of the 37 third-generation children in the mafia. All the other Lupollos have moved into professional fields, proving his point that a mafia is used basically as a means of getting out of the ghetto. lanni is especially optimistic about the success of the Cuban mafia because it, like the other successful mafias, is based on close-knit family ties. He feels that the blacks do not have enough familiarity with family structure to organize into a successful mafia. Only through the realization of black solidarity could a successful black mafia be brought about. Another strong factor indicating the probably success of the Cuban mafia is that they have good connections for the importation of South American and Latin American cocaine. lanni sees cocaine as the new marijuana of the seventies. Combined with the growing disinterest of the Italians in organized crime, an effective cocaine route should just about eliminate the Italians and put the Cubans on top of organized crime. He predicts that the growing black mafia will be stymied by the legalization of many of its ventures. Mr. lanni is quite qualified to write a novel of this nature. In 1967 he went to southern Italy and Sicily and did a study of the secret criminal societies there which culminated in the publication of A Family Business in 1972. Currently he is a member of the Task Force on Organized Crime of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council of New York City. When lanni was discussing the actual crime syndicates, the book was exceptionally fast moving. However, when he goes into the sociological aspects of the crime syndicate, the book loses its fluidity. Still, this book is extremely informative and never do you doubt its validity. Black Mafia is a must for understanding organized crime as it exists today in New York City. -Robert Topaz 1975 (Pocket printed world, they stuck to the leather.

L Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Wampeters Foma & Granfalloons (Dalacorte Prau) One asks oneself over and over, when reading t Kurt Vonnegut's Wampeters Foma and Granfalloons, what it is about a writer of fiction that allows him to view life so precisely, with such deadly accuracy. It is this characteristic precision which was supposedly O utilized by seers and prophets in ancient times. N The difference today is that the government, as Vonnegut says, views the writer and his fiction as "so much hot air." This truth is witnessed by the fact that a multitude of literary people opposed 1 Vietnam; so much written energy was expended toward it and it continued . . and continues. This latest book of opinions or "crap" as Vonnegut labels it, is a microscopic slide on which the reader finds the guts of mankind, in the sixties and seventies, laid bare. We are given the opportunity of taking a hard look at ourselves through the eyes and soul of a man who writes with brilliance and humor. What we see is far from beautiful. "This is a lonesome society," he tells us; a society where man constantly asks the question, "Where is my bed?" We exist in a culture run by "high school class officers" who are members of one of two parties, the "Winners or the Losers." There are no others. Wow! The author presents a series of essays, speeches and one fiction piece ( Fortitude) all of which comes together in one phrase which cries for someone to hear; "We're lonesome!" And it is this disintegrating society of phony individualism and capitalistic self-gain which perpetuates the loneliness; it is this same social (dis-)order which has torn the family structure apart and with it, man's basic altruistic “ of cheap advise; and it is a cry to those among us who care about what ii left to salvage here, to stop the useless killing and hating. "Agony never made a society quit fighting," Vonnegut says in Torture and Blubber. Translated, this means that the bombs, ammunition, guns and tanks we are sending to . nature. In another bit of wisdom and humor, Vonnegut "Our children often come to resemble apathetic fish except that fish can't play guitars." And so it goes. One needs to only read the essay "Biafra: A People Betrayed" to fully comprehend the author's theme throughout the entire book. Biafra was a nation of eight million starving poets. America was "neutral." As a result, the dot (Biafra) has now vanished. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people died.

Raising one's arm is a process that has been Cambodia, Israel or South America may kill or cripple innocent people but it won't break spirits. Not for long. Wampeters is a ftew book of wisdom. It should be read as such. What it tells the reader, in Vonnegut's sardonically humorous style, is that he does have a choice; he can save himself here, on planet earth, or he can allow himself to be made a victim. If he chooses the latter, historians will look back upon him and note, "He made wonderful jokes, but he was such an unhappy man." Hooray! Just as Pavlov had solicited desired responses from dogs through an outside stimulus. Miller sought to use the principles of conditioned response with his test subjects. In initial experiments with white rats, electrodes inserted into their bodies were hooked into electronic test equipment. Every time the rats' heartbeats slowed down somewhat, they were rewarded with food. Eventually the rats learned that if they slowed their heartbeats they would be fed. Although control of the heart is supposedly beyond mental ability, ail laboratory, sent to the Far East to study practitioners of Zen and Yoga returned with documented proof that the subjects observed were indeed able to control the visceral functions of their bodies at will. It was observed that while meditating, the subjects' minds were working at a constant, steady, alpha wave pattern. By using patterns of thought that had been developed through practice, the meditating subjects were able to slow their hearts down or speed them up at astounding rates, regulate their circulation and blood pressure, and perform many other "impossible" tasks of visceral control. The point made by this book is that visceral learning is definitely within our reach. By adopting correct methods of learning we can assume total control over our bodies. While conditioned response might not be the answer, alpha wave training could definitely be. And it's available right now to those who want it, either through Transcendental Meditation or Silva Mind Control, both of which have centers in most large American cities. The goal is improved health and a longer, happier life. Visceral Learning could be the way to achieve it. We have the power to make it work; the rest is up to the individual. ■ —Cary Trestyn Friday, 21 March 1975 The Spectrum Page eleven . . i. 11 �Great warmth, vibes Orignal and catchy Scottish of the Buffalo Gals soul-synthesis at Kleinhans The Buffalo Gals, queens of bluegrass, with their aura of great vibes left the audiences with great feelings last Friday and Saturday nights. Their warmth on stage absorbed us right into thqir music. Their incredible style and repertoire got everyone involved with hand clapping and foot stomping. Saturday night, the floor of the Rathskeller was rubbed down from all the dancing that went on. Individually they are all incredible musicians. As a whole band their performance is just remarkable. The dynamics in the instrumentation and the vocal harmonies made the audience scream for encores. They would probably still be playing now if the Union hadn't had to close. The Buffalo Gals play a wide variety of songs, always keeping you anxious for the next number. They play alot of old timey fiddle tunes, some popular folk tunes with a little swing thrown in, and countless other blues grass tunes that they have arranged in their own style including a jazzed up Supremes song. I was lupky enough to get to know them off stage as well as on. They are all fantastic people and that is projected in their performances. I just wish they would take it easy with that "blue grass humor." If you were unfortunate and missed the Buffalo Gals this time, be sure to see them next time they are here. If you are interested in their future performances, the UUAB Coffeehouse has a list, so get —Jonie Schwartz in touch. — - The evening b£gan with a surprise. On the way to the concert, I discovered that the opening act was to be Les McCann, semi-legendary jazz pianist. He is now fully electric (aren't we all?) and, although his band was good and the material interesting, there was a sense of audience impatience in the air throughout his set. It is strangely ironic, is it not, that someone of McCann's credentials should be opening act for a bunch of Scots playing "black" music? (More about this later.) McCann finally got the audience going with "Compared to What," a song of his recently made popular by Brian Auger and Roberta Flack. But it was his last number, and there was no encore The Average White Band (AWB) did, however, put on a very entertaining show and, judging by the audience reaction, are on their way to becoming very popular. (Their latest album is doing quite well, on both soul and pop record charts.) Over spring break (the concert was March 4), it seemed that everywhere I went I heard their records, and talked to people who are all of a sudden into soul music. It seems absurd that it takes a band of Scottish R&B freaks to sell American soul music to white American audience, but it is happening, and I like it as much as everybody else. No dancin' in the aisles Most of their material is original, and unlike such "sound-alike" groups as Sha Na Na and the Hudson Brothers, the AWB does not merely rearrange other people's songs and tack on new words. Their songs are written and performed with such adherence to the soul genre that they sound familiar, even upon first hearing. Think of it as second generation pop music a synthesis of the good qualities of all the soul hits of the last ten years. For this reason, most of their songs are "catchy" in one way or another, and all of them are good to dance to. This brings up one strange point about the audience at the concert. A number of people around where I was sitting got up and started dancing during the set, but everyone else elected to remain seated, so the ushers made the offenders sit down. Then again, the atmosphere of Kleinhans Music Hall is not exactly conducive to Madness. polished at all times, and if you like their albums, you would have loved it. Using two lead singers, two guitarists, keyboards and at times two saxes, they were able to faithfully reproduce their recorded sound, which is pretty good, if you haven’t heard it. Most of the songs performed were from their second album, AWB. including the Isley Brothers' "Work to Do," and of course, "Pick Up the Pieces." In — Cold cuts The Tonight, the '70's answer to the Chipmunks will appear at the Niagara Falls Convention Center: Seals and Crofts.

One of them, "Heard It Through the Grapevine," came off well as an encore, despite the number of times it has been butchered by other groups. During the encore, Les McCann came on to play clavinet, followed by his drummer (who played tambourine). Although it was obviously unrehearsed, it sounded great. When, after another ovation, a roadie came on to announce that there would be no second encore, due to the fact that "the boys have been in the studio recording, and their voices are kinda shot," there weren't even any boos.

Such was the case on Saturday March 1st when our own UUAB presented Peter Frampton's Camel and The Son Seals Blues Band in Norton Hall's Fillmore Room. Musically, the Son Seals Blues Band were the best blues band that I’ve had the pleasure to see. True, Sonny Seals, the lead guitarist of the group, sweated just like any other blues guiatrist, but they were still unique. From the opening sone, "Why I Sing the Blues" on down to B.B. King's "Thrill is Gone" (when the band brought on Leo, a friend, to sing and "blues" for them), this blues band made each new song a different experience. I attribute this to Sonny Seals' muscial and verbal rapport with the audience. At one point, during Chuck Berry's tune, "Little Queenie," Sonny walked to the edge of the stage and the total entertainer! played several riffs with his teeth — Lefty leads Not only was the band entertaining, but the individual members were also quite comical at times. At one point during the show, one of the members of our party called out to "Wefty," the rhythm guitarist, who up to that point V*. * a Israel Friedman I know that last issue I promised that in today's column I would deal with Country and Western music and the honky-tonk saloon in town where Buffalo’s cowboys and rodeo queens hitch up their pickups, but for reasons that just aren't worth going into, that will have to wait for some future date. Intead, what I'd like to do is change the format a little and give you an introduction in capsule form to some of the newer spots in and around town. Let's face it, writing for The Spectrum, while I like it and read it faithfully, is not the most pretigious job one can have. What I mean is, club owners and managers don't exactly jump to greet you at the door, begging to assist yo in any way they can So instead, you glean whatever information you need from bartenders, doormen, and even waitresses, if there happen to be any good-looking ones around. And that brings us to the first place we visited over the past weekend. The Pierce Arrow Agency, Pub and Restaurant. The decor is strictly Lower East Side Manhattan Singles, which I for one don't happen to mind all that much, on occasion. It's got a big bar and lots of room to move around. The place is built on several levels, with tables for seating all around, and it even has a dance floor. The Puh is fairly well lit, so you needn't strain your eyes to see that special someone you've been making goo-goo eyes at all night long is really as good as they look. Lots of flowers and plants, with Tiffany lamps and antique mirrors and things hung ad over. The Pierce Arrow Agency is located at 3036 Seneca St. .at Center Road in West Seneca, which, if you're not familiar with this area, is realty a good ways out. But iif you are looking for something a little bit fancier than your run of the mill gin-mill, by - *b* — guitar. Upon his return to the stage for the customary (but well deserved) encore, Frampton launched into "Shining On" which he more or less dedicated to us, his loving audience. Then, another gift from Frampton, his own great version of "Jumpin' Jack Flash." It had the audience jumping to the ceiling. He left the stage, not to return for that second encore. If after all this, the essence of the evening is not understood, then I am forced to use my ultimate compliment for a concert. I hereby go on record as declaring that the whole concert (from Son Seals' "Why I Sing the Blues" to Frampton's "Jumpin' Jack Flash") should have been recorded for a live album and that is no camel shit. —Gerald Malta — Changes As a nice change of pace, Frampton switched to acoustic guitar and did the title cut from his first album. Wind of Change Then, surprising everyone (as it is electric — ,, «v % & di0 % Prodigal Sun x> on the album), he did a mellow version of the classic "By Your Side." Just as abruptly as he had switched to acoustic, and rock he did. Frampton switched back to electric During the latter part of the concert, Frampton used a "mouth guitar," where his voice came through the guitar ala Joe Walsh. Despite my mild state of intoxication, I distinctly heard Joe (oops), Peter first ask the audience to boogie and then say "Thank You" through his rigged had done nothing but play behind Sonny Seals, to break out and do his own shit. "No," Lefty shook his head, giving us the impression that Sonny wouldn't let him. But, during the next song. Lefty let out a short lead and showing a mock look of fright, he jumped away from Sonny. Repeating this scene a second time. Lefty then let out a long grin. The Son Seals Blues Band were appreciated enough to be called out for an encore and though there were cries for a third appearance, they didn’t return. After the usual midshow raps, the lights lowered and on came Frampton. Opening up with "Something's Happening" from his last LP, Frampton showed why he is rumored to be under consideration as a replacement for Mick Taylor (who recently left the Rolling Stones). His guitar on this cut was very clear and sharp to say the least. In the middle of the third song, "Lines on My Face," Peter got into some beautiful guitar work. It flowed from his this naturally drew long and fingers like a boat on a lake fervent applause from a very appreciative audience. On to "Doobie Wa" which was a cute take-off on guess who? and happen to be in the neighborhood Can you imagine, walking into a bar in Buffalo and hearing not rock, folk, or top 40, but classical music? I tell you it was beautiful. The Alley Bar on Delaware, just before Gates Circle (if you're coming from uptown), plays classical music. If I seem to have gotten stuck on this fact, it is because I am. It is unusual, but even more than that, it's refreshing. For someone like me, who has been Rolling Stoned and Led Zeppelined to death, it's like being a junkie with money down in Tiajuana. The Alley Bar is just two doors down from the Locker Room, a local favorite of the beefon-weck set, around the corner and back in the alley. It's not the main fullly redone yet, but what is' finished bar room and two smaller rooms that run off it tastefully done, with pictures of Bach and Beethoven hung alongside some very nice murals and other paintings by local artists. And of course, there is music. If you get off on getting high and listening to the Grateful Dead, you should try closing your eyes while sipping wine and listening to Handel's Messiah. What you can see with your mind's eye just might amaze you. But here I ... — digress. The main point is that this is a great place to go if you just aren't a rock-n-roller any more. Even the conversation suggests that the crowd that comes here to drink is not your average "let's get drunk and see what happens" clientele. You're much more likely to hear a critique of the latest films or plays. About the only thing missing is a chessboard with two wisened old men sitting around it tugging on their beards. It's probably someplace I'll go when I'm in the mood for a cocktail and some atmosphere. It may be a little tricky to find, but it's a place well worth seeking out. - UUAB Coffeehouse wilt present singer-composer, Adam Mitchell today and tomorrow.

The sin is not mortal, just disappointingly venal The team predictions are no surprise. The editors who put the book together took the cautious approach, picking the Yankees and the Rangers in the AL and the Cardinals and Dodgers in the NL. There were some surprises, though, further down the line. The Kansas City Royals and the Philadelphia Phillies were picked to come in fourth in their respective divisions, surprisingly low for two teams whose rebuilding programs have met with some success during the last few years. The predictions were determined by a semi-scientific process called the Performance Quotient (PQ). It's actually a sophisticated way of saying that they looked at the pitching, and and hitting of each team oy position rated them on a scale from one to five. If you put the pretensions aside, the ratings are fairly accurate and the explanations are well-written, which is more than I can say for the sections devoted to writing. The writing consists of team evaluations and "exclusive" features. The first is often redundant; the second is anything but exclusive. Fred Down wrote the book, but you would never know it unless you glanced at the acknowledgements where his name is mixed in with the photo credits. Maybe that's because he hesitated to take credit for all the cliches and overused quotes that abound. He begins the section on the Detroit Tigers (picked to finish sixth in the AL East) with a non-sentence I'm still trying to make sense of: "Shades of Ty Cobb . . . Harry Heilman .. Hank Greenberg... Charlie Gehringer... Ha! A! Kaline and all Newhouser. .. Denny McLain the other greats who have graced the roster of the Detroit Tigers!" There's something more than memories to that, but what? The biggest news of the off season the signing Catfish Hunter by the Yankees is the biggest of news of the book. They have the Catfish figuring in at least four of their predictions. He’s the reason the Yankees will finish first and the reason the three time World champion Oakland A's will not repeat.

But when they talk of the Giants they say that San Francisco got the best of the deal and that the New York press has grossly overrated Bonds.

The Betty Boop Scandals, a collection of the famed animated shorts from the '30's and '40's, will be shown at midnight tonight and tomorrow. Directed by Haskell Wexler, the cinematographer for American Graffiti. Medium CooI is a semi-documentary portrait of a television cameraman's experiences covering the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago and the subsequent riots. The photography is brilliant, as might be expected, and the script is surprisingly aware of the then-current (and largely now-current) state of politics in America. Magical Mystery Tour is, of course, the Beatles' television film, a one-hour junket through the unbridled imaginations of the Fab Four. Those who care to ignore the lavish production and concentrate on "I Am the Walrus," "Hello Goodbye," "The Fool On The Hill," and the title song, your numbers will probably be legion, so have no fear. Tickets are available at the Norton Hall Ticket Office how were their penant chances enhanced? The quotes that are scattered randomly through the book must have been culled from the pages of every second rate sports magazine in America. I've seen them all before. Many of them, especially those of Yankee manager Bill Virdon, have already been worked to death. The photos are almost as bad, all 50 of them. They are poor reproductions of standard black and white shots that show little imagination or talent. But finally, it is the opinions that are the biggest disappointment. They often sound like someone who has soured on the National Pasttime and longs, hopelessly, for the good old days. Speaking of the contract problems Catfish Hunter had with the A's, they sayr "Charlie Finley finally achieved what the rest of the American League couldn't do. He wrecked the Oakland A's dynasty." Mr Finley is a favorite whipping post and he's the first that comes to mind in a discussion of the "uglier side" of the game. "Must the vulgar Finley always try to make a one-man show of the World Series, the game's showcase event?" Next in line was the owner from across the Bay: can't owners like Horace Stoneham stop talking like carpetbaggers?" (Does he have an "Why accent?) But the saddest complaint was the one leveled against the high-salaried hold-outs: "Must the players be so greedy in their demands when they are so fortunate to spend years in the major leagues?" Major League Baseball 1975 does not have all the answers it claims to have, but it will prove a functional additional to your back pocket if you hesitate every time someone asks you who the NL batting champ was in 1953. -Michael O'Neill uuab pNe acrs pim ccxnm proudly pre&nts Medium Coot frf, march 2x directed, by Haskel Wevier starring- Robert .Forster er Verna B loom fri,marchii crs3t,mar.xx at midnight i/1rfU~/ll -Mystery Tour S .sat,marchaxersuiyrian-u made by the Beatles .a -rffSTYBo©** %/ all shows confmnc&thmtrt for information, coll 5x17 � Page fourteen:.

In light of the rash of Anti-Semitic grafiit which has recently appeared throughout the Joseph Ellicott Complex, in Norton Hall, and outside the Chabad House, it is necessary to understand and remember the implications and history of this type of activity. Jews, though they have achieved influence and affluence in this country, and are allowed to practice their religion freely, have not always been blessed with such fortunate circumstance. Jews have lived in the shadow of persecution and degradation since bffore the time of Christ. Pursued and despised, forced into usury by medieval European rulers, their lot has not been an enviable one. Jews have been accused of the Blood Libel, or the murder and use of a Christian’s child’s blood for the baking of Passover matzo countless times since the year 1144 (in England), and as recently as 1912 (in Russia). Jews were accused by the Catholic Church of influencing the Protestant movement and the split from the Catholic Church. Pogroms in Europe resulted in the deaths of entire communities of Jews, and the Inquisition was responsible for the killing of countless tens of thousands of innocent Jewish Martyrs. Though six million Jews were murdered in Europe such a short time ago, there are those who still talk of annihilating a people only fourteen million strong who they feel are out to take over the World. Those who advocate the destruction of the Jews (or any other group of people) should ask themselves what they hope to accomplish. Not only Jews, but humanity itself has suffered too long at the hands of Hitlers and Inquisitions to allow this to .9 .6 - — ~tn go on. To those responsible for the slandering of the community of Jews or any other people, we ask, why do you do this? Surely you can’t hope to better the world by adding to its suffering and misery. Every member of the University community should be ashamed at this disgrace, and not forget what has happened, so that it may never again happen in the future, here or anywhere else. Jeff Bado Howard Crane Michael Raff Roy Chipkin Steven Nozik Charles Wallin Bonnie Waxenberg Clifford Cappelli Chuck Halstrick Elizabeth Esmay Michael Sugerman Thanks to Leftist By the time 1 began my freshman year at UB, Attica was a year old. I had heard about the prison rebellion, and the state’s brutality in retaking the prison from the inmates. This event, however, seemed to have evaded my own attempt at grasping the full significance of the massacre, the grand jury investigations, and the trials that followed. Attica, subsequently, faded from my stream and the public stream of consciousness and became just another political tragedy among many that have plagued our society. After the initial shock, the facts started to emerge behind the screens of political censorship. The state, all of a sudden, was shown as a shifty and frightening political entity trying to cover up their handling of Attica Rebellion. The hostages were killed by ammunition fired by the attack force, and did not die from slit throats as the governor maintained. Rockefeller and his men had not done everything they could have to avert the massacre; prison conditions that were the discontent underlying cause of prisoner by the were exist) ignored that still (conditions prison adminsitration, even though they were aware of the consequences of such inaction. These facts were supported by the governor’s the own hand-picked investigating committee which published their McCay Commission findings in their book A ttica, over the objection of then governor Nelson (now Vice President) Rockefeller. Well, what is all this? and what does this have to do with us anyway? Attica has a lot to do with us all, and is not one of those distant events that we hear about now and then on the news. The people of Buffalo can not just file away and forget Attica, because Attica is here, now, in Buffalo County Court on Franklin Street. No matter how hard the state has tried to hush up the events on September 13, 1971, they have failed. Every new fact uncovered by the defense is a shocking example of the state’s inability to come to grips with the problems ofall its people. 1 too, was unaware of the realities of Attica. I had always been interested in investigating the situation more, since 1 had realized that something was not right in all the official explanations. 1 finally had the chance two weeks ago Friday to witness firsthand the judicial system’s handling of the Attica fiasco. I was plenty shocked with what I saw. The realities of the trial were not fully felt by me until I went down there. 1 had become so conditioned to hearing the kind of things that go on in a courtroom in America, that I had lost the true understanding of the situation be not experiencing it firsthand, and feeling the impact that comes from this recognition.

The Attica trials shocked me back into the recognition of the America 1 had begun to know and fear. The iron gate seperating the trial rooms from the hallway, (and guarded by about four Eire County Sheriffs) was my first taste of the reality of Attica. I was a bit bewildered by all this at first, but walked in anyway. One of the seated Sheriffs told me to come over to the table (which was about four feet from the gateway) and asked me my purpose in being there. After explaining I was there for the trial of Hill and Pemasalice, I was made to empty all my pockets onto the table, (which 1 did). 1 was then escorted into a curtained-off booth, where a cop told me to spread my legs and put my hands in the air. A metal detector was then run all over my body. After passing inspection, I was directed into a courtroom. After sitting there a while, I realized that something was not right, and asked the fellow next to me if he was here for the Attica trial also. He said he was, but was kind of confused, since all he had seen were these people plea-bargaining for the past twenty minutes. Ten minutes later, one of the Sheriffs came in and told us that the' Attica trial was next door. We thanked him, and went into the trial next door where we saw Kunstler, Clark and Company caught up in heated debate. The jury selection was long and tedious, marred by debates and private conferences at the judge’s bench. It was boring at times, these ten minute discussions, so I folded my arms and leaned back in my chair. A full twenty seconds later, I was informed by another one of the sheriffs on hand that if I wanted to stay in the courtroom, I would have to change my seating posture. You are not allowed to read either (during one of those ten minute conferences, I was told to close my magazine or leave), and smiling attracts too much attention. There was also no talking, stretching, yawning, scratching, or other such display of emotion. I felt as if I was on trial. The judge was constantly baiting William Kunstler and Ramsey Clark, and they were subsequently getting into the most ridiculous arguments you could imagine. This was the judicial process. I can give you more accounts of what happened there, but to receive the full impact of the American Judicial system performing its duty, you would have to go down and see it your self. If you have never been thoroughly searched by an Erie County Sheriff it is worth going down there to experience what real “criminals” have to go through. In short, yo have everything to gain and nothing to lose by going. corporations (IRS 990) during the first three years after incorporation (1970—72). The failure to file is due in part to the ignorance of prior IRCB officers, and a mix up over the filing of form 990 in 1971 that resulted in the failure to file in the subsequent two years. Last year we discovered that these forms were not filed and preceded to hire an accounting firm to reconstruct the records of the corporation and file the necessary tax returns. The accounting fir.a of Lawrence H. Sunshine C.P.A. filed those returns in January, 1975 in an attempt to bring the corporation back to its proper legal status. IRCB has been awaiting the results from the Internal Revenue Service ever since. One must understnad that the proposed penalty form (IRS 4816), which was received Monday, was automatically generated by the IRS computers for any returns filed late. The form states however, that the proposed penalty will be imposed unless “reasonable cause is established for the delay” in filing. Our attorney. Jack Geller, is confident that the letter filed with the IRS on 18th, will be an adequate Tuesday, March explanation and the $13,720.00 proposed penalty will be waived. M. Kimmel Comptroller Sanford GeoffLevin Director of Operations Inter-Residence Council Bussinesses Inc. Descartes revisited To the Editor. In view of all the recent verbal aggression towards Campus Security, it seems appropriate to add some balance to an “overweight” situation. Apparently security has done wrong, but an attitude that security is all wrong would be an injustice. As most active people on campus can tell you, the majority .of our campus cops are pretty mellow people who are somewhat responsive to our communities’ needs. On the other hand, many people feel that Campus Security is quite ineffective and useless in situations other than their talent for bullshitting. This also may be true, but my interpretation of an effective police force is synonymous with that of a police state. This in no way excuses campus securities’ offenses and it may even demonstrate an isolated case of “police stateism” (if in reality it is isolated), but I am sure everyone recognizes the element that invades every aspect of society. Anywhere you go there will always be the purest form of the rotten asshole, whose lust for power and status cause the distortion of a whole class of people. No examples necessary. Perhaps this proves once again that the part is more important than the whole. Thomas Skill Friday, 21 March 1975 . The Spectrum . Page fifteen •> ���HOW 5 NO. MOT RtAU-V.

Available at vour UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE campus t �GIF Rubber duck Tw errors i picture of track s by Bruce Engel Last weekend, Buffalo’s track Bulls scored 12 points at the New York State Championships. It was no surprise that sophomore sprinter and jumper Eldred Stephens personally accounted for 10 of them. It was a little surprising that he long-jumped over 23 feet. Most of the 19 year old management major’s long jumping has been in the 21 foot range. “He just wasn’t jumping the right way,” said track coach Jim McDonough. McDonough explained that the basic problem was that Stephens simply wasn’t getting high enough off the ground. (Can you imagine a student who lives in Goodyear Hall having trouble getting high?) Stephens would land prematurely because the trajectory of his jump was too low. McDonough claims that he noticed this error last season and tried to correct it then. However his young star wasn’t comfortable with the new style so McDonough allowed him to go back to the old way, which was still good enough to win. Suddenly last week, as McDonough tells the story, “Stephens came to him and said, ‘Coach, I’m not jumping the right way at all’.” The adjustment was made and Stephens went consistently over 23 feet at the state meet and may start breaking 24 soon, which would rank him among the best in the East. The surprising thing is that it took as bright an athlete as Eldred so long to figure out that he could be jumping a lot better. Stephens is the kind of athlete who makes a point of knowing his body and studying his technique. Of course, his jumping has suffered simply because there is no place for him to practice jumping during the winter. But while it is too cold to go outside, one can frequently find him in the basement of Clark Hall diligently working on his sprint start or strengthening his legs on the weight machine. But then, Eldred Stephens is just full of surprises. At 5’7” and a mere 137 pounds, he doesn’t look like one of the University’s finest athletes. To look at him in street clothes, one wouldn’t expect that he is capable of a 9.6 hundred, a 23 foot long jump and a 47 foot triple jump. On the track he sees a different person. The fact is that, next to wrestler and soccer Jim Young, Stephens the most superb athlete the athletic department can boast. probably is Since joining the track team last year he has dominated it. With the exception of promising shotputter Walt Halady, hard working Larry Menthkowski and a few respectable freshman distance men, Eldred is that track team, a fact that disturbs him very much. “I felt a lot of pressure at times last year,” he said. “In the bus going to away meets the coach would tell everyone to try to improve. He’d tell me to win.” Basically track is an individual effort, but it would frustrate Eldred he won and the team lost. “You feel like you haven’t accomplished anything,” he said. It bothers him that he gets all the attention and his teammates get none. The Bulls did win one meet last season. All Stephens had to do was long jump, triple jump, 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash and run a the win leg of the 440 yard relay team. Eldred has also high jumped once or twice and could probably do well in 440. There must be times when McDonough thinks he could do anything. when Eldred enjoys helping the team but would prefer to restrict himself long to the jumps and the 100. He thinks the 220 and the 440 are too for him and feels wasted in a relay. “Why run me in a relay when we only have one other sprinter.” And he is quite right. The Bulls would probably lose anyway. Knowing him from afar, one sees an introverted, shy individual. “The guys on the team would laugh if you wrote that I was shy,” he said. “I'm always joking and clowning around with them.” He admits that this is a side of him few people see. Psychologists have labeled the sprinter as flamboyant, abrasive, and a super-extrovert, with the tendency to brag “1 am the greatest” a la Muhammad Ali. But Stephens refuses to broadcast his success In fact, it turned him off when he saw his idol, world class sprinter Herb Washington in person at a meet in Cleveland last year. “The dude must have had 15 sweat suits on,” he said. “One from every big race he’s ever run. It’s really gone to his head. Stephens is modest, more modest than he has to be, but one finds none of the thankful apologetic stereotyped negro athlete in him. “Black people have done more for sports than sports have done for them,” he claims. “Basketball, football and track would not be what they are.” Stephens has quite a wrap on Jesse Ownes, another former idol. Despite being the symbol of the oppressed and discriminated against black (he was meanly dehumanized at the 1936 Olympics, where he won four medals, and could not even find a job afterward.) Owens came out strongly against the proposed Black boycott of the Mexico Olympics in 1968. “After what happened to him, that made him look like a Tom to me,” said Stephens. Yet he realizes that Owens, as just one man, was probably trapped. “Someone should have done something for him. The government should have stood up for him.” In 1975 things have changed. Racial incidents that were once common could never happen today. But that’s not to say that everything’s perfect. “You’re born with respect,” Eldred said to me. 1 had to score touchdowns to get it.” Stephens was a three sport star at Niagara Falls High. things people don’t even He still feels subtle forms of prejudice Kids that don t know how to react to seemingly doing. they are realize an excellent black athlete say things like “You’re good, aren’t you?” “What do you say to that?” Eldred asked me, knowing full well 4 that greater minds than ours haven’t solved this problem. I guess I m something of a hypocrite,” he says. “I see things that are wrong, but I back away from them” No more of hypocrite than most of us.

He fell over the snoozing Ron Blomberg, jamming his thumb on the Boomer’s batting herlmet. Bloomberg laughed heartily but it didn’t ease the throbbing pain in Joe’s finger. “Shaddup Blomberg! I was in Triple-A before you got Bar Mitzvahed.” Joe was through for the day, and perhaps, for the winter. Yankee 3rd base coach Dick Howser asked Joe for the cleats. They were on loan. He clumsily lopped them off his feet, neglecting to untie the laces. Joe place-kicked the shoes over to Howser, who by this time, had turned his back on the 12 year veteran. One cleat found its mark, leaving Howser to cluth the nape of his neck. Joe was through for the winter. “I’ve been trying out for the Grapefruit League now, all with the Yankees.

Stott was pretty young too, but he behaved like a guy, you know what I mean.” The water stopped running in the cooler, and Joe looked for the culprit who had obviously ripped out the plug. Sparky Lyle danced before Joe, waving the entire chord, completely detached from the cooler, in front of his face. “That’ll cost you,” said Manager Bill Virdon. “That’ll cost you, that’ll cost you, that’ll cost you!” warbled the entire relief corps. They danced around Virdon, and picked up Lyle in a hero’s celebration. “They’ve got no respect for that man,” Joe lamented. “The pitchers mock him, the fielders ignore him, and the bench rides him to Teaneck.

The budget recommendations were released more than six weeks ago. SUNY spokesperson Russ Gugino said Monday that the Chancellor was awaiting clarification on whether a rent hike was “built in” to the big state estimate of anticipated income. Although the Student Assocation of the State University (SASU) reported that it received “statements from the Division of the Budget that a rent hike was, in fact, not necessary,” Mr. Gugino that the said the situation was “unclear,” Chancellor had received no indication from state officials. “No one is trying to raise rents unnecessarily,” explained Mr. Gugino, and if the Budget Division says that a rent increase is not needed, Dr. Boyer will not recommend one. However, if the $3.5 million cannot be accounted for, Mr. Gugino inidcated that rents would have to increase. SASU Chancellor informed Boyer representatives in February that a rent hike had been “mandated” by the Division of the Budget. Additionally, after a recent Board of Trustees meeting in New York City, Dr. Boyer told 300 demonstrating students that there was a “50-50” chance that rents would be raised. But the Chancellor said at a subsequesnt meeting with SASU and State University officials that he was “pushing toward no rent increase . . . and my discussions with the Division of the Budget make that prospect hopeful.” Mr. Gugino said all the debate surrounding the anticipated budgets would be a “moot point” if the State Legislature does not approve the budget in its present form. The legislature can make changes in the budget, which must be passed by April I. SASU is opposed to any rent hike because “it would limit access to higher education.” The SASU publication, Update, reported that in testimony delivered February 13 to the State Senate Finance and Assembly Ways and Means Committees, SASU President Dan Kohane called upon the legislature to block any dormitory rent hike. Mr. Kohane reiterated Governor Carey’s campaign assertation that “the state, not the students, must bear the burden of financing higher education in these days of inflation and higher costs. “1 wish to make clear to you that a rent hike would be no different than -a tuition hike,” Mr. Kohane told the Committees. “It makes little difference where, or in what category a discrepancy in figures has occurred because both tuition and room rent come out of one basket, the studnet’s poclet, and go into one basket, the [State] University income fund.” Update also reported that SUNY officials said a room rent hike could be justified because it would reflect a cost of living increase. But Mr. Kohane said teenage unemployment is already 18.3 percent and bound to get worse when colleges close for the summer, and a rent hike would “hack away ruthlessly at a class of people mostly young people already among the most seriously affected by the dowturn in the economy.” Officials in the Division of the Budget had claimed that their revenue projections were accurate because dorm occupancy and collection rates will be higher next year than in previous years. They also pointed out that SUNY will have an extra $2 million to use wherever it is needed since tuition waivers were reduced by $2 million. that the state Mr. Gugino explained supplemental budget, which is formulated after the - - - IRC faces possible fine on back taxes The Inter-Residence Council (IRC) has until Friday to respond to an internal Revenue Service (IRS) notice that it owes as much as $14,000 in penalties on back taxes. IRC President Leigh Weber confirmed reports from a highly-placed IRC source Monday fhat the IRS notice warned of the possible penalty, and that it was due to failure on the part of several past administrations to file for non-profit status. However, IRC’s legal counsel Jack Geller said there is a good chance the penalties will be waived when the circumstances are taken into account by the IRS. He said the notice was equal in weight to a “form letter,” mailed out automatically by the IRS computer anytime it detects a late filing of the non-for-profit status form. The notice states that IRC must convince the IRS by the end of the week that the penalties are not justified. Mr. Geller said he will “pull out all the stops” in his efforts to defend IRC. If necessary, he said he would seek outside help, although he conceded that he is not in the habit of using “political influence.” He does not believe this will be necessary, however. “After all, this isn’t a big business we’re dealing with here it’s a student organization, run with student funds,” Mr. Geller said. This administration has really bitten the bullet, making the huge decision when they took office that they were going to try and clear up the bookkeeping mess that was given to them.” “This is the chief argument 1 am going to present to the government,” Mr. Geller said. “Also, the fact that the late-filed forms really haven’t hurt anyone, just broken the rule, will be brought out.” When asked if, in the event that IRC’s assets could not cover any penalties levied, individuals would be held liable to pay a portion of them, he said it was doubtful. “I haven’t done any research into the question,” he said, “because 1 .wasn’t about to spend IRC’s money on researching a problem that may never occur. At this time, then, I really can’t be too sure.” The IRC source said the penalties were calculated in the following manner: a maximum penalty of $10 a day can be levied, according to the notice, with a maximum of $5000 a year. This amount is due for 1973 and 1972, but only $3720 is charged for 1974. All the forms were filed this year, as IRC began its financial housecleaning. — —Kraftowltz Dan Kohane main (Executive) budget is approved, is designed to provide funds where they have been cut because of miscalculations or other errors. He said the supplemental budget derives its revenues from the same “pot” as the Executive budget and is “miniscule” compared to the main budget. Additionally, it is a “ground rule” that state agencies do not request restoration of itejns cut out of the Executive budget, so that SUNY will probably not ask for additionaly dormitory funds in the supplemental budget, even if dorm rent must be raised. Mr. Gugino said this year was the first time that state budget officials and SUNY disagreed over anticipated dormitory income. He added that the Board of Trustees, which must approve any dormitory rate changes, will not take any action until the $3.5 million discrepancy is cleared up. SASU also argued that a room rent increase would be unfair to students because they “already experience often cramped, leaky, pest-ridden dormitory quarters.” Additionally, SASU reported that the National Commission on the Financing of Postsecondary Education said for every $100 increase in college costs there is a 2.5 percent drop in enrollment. Therefore, SASU argued, a rent increase and the simultaneous cut in tuition wavers would severly hurt SUNY students, who come primarily from families with a net taxable income of $12,000 or less. Ziegler cancels lecture tour in wake of protests Former Nixon Administration Press Secretary Ron Zeigler stepped off the college lecture circuit before he started. Faced with cancellations and protests from students who objected to paying fees varying from $2500 to $3000 to any former member of the Nixon White House, he* announced last week that he would not make any speeches in order to keep from reopening the wounds of Watergate. Mr. Zeigler was scheduled to speak at this University yesterday. but the cancellation extended to contracts already signed. Speakers’ Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow said he has no plans to bring suit against Mr. Zeigler for breach of contract. Though Mr. Zeigler has never been implicated in any of the Watergate scandals, his last-ditch and, some say, continuing defense of ex-President Richard Nixon, has resulted in guilt by association. Mr. Zeigler faced his first controversy at Boston University the student where decided government against paying him a $3000 fee and said he could exercise his right of free speech only if he exercised it for free. BU President John Silber offered a $1000 honorarium from non-student sources, honorarium from non-student sources, but Mr. Zeigler declined the offer. (BUj Local issue The projected Zeigler appearance created a minor controversy in the Student Assembly, when members tried March 5 to pass a resolution expressing displeasure at the idea of paying Mr. Zeigler a substantial fee and letting him profit from his former boss’s misconduct and the country’s trauma. The Assembly failed to pass the resolution, however, most observers attributed the defeat to the confusion of the many issues presented in making the case for the resolution, and the lack of practical effect the resolution would have had if it had passed. At this time, Mr. Morrow said he had no idea who he would ge to replace Mr. Zeigler. Former White House Counsel John Dean, whose testimony helped break open the Watergate scandal, had also pulled himself out of the lecture circuit. Mr. Dean, who had spoken at the University of Virginia and other schools, said he quit because he constantly had to defend his fees, which were as high as Mr. Zeigler’s, instead of speaking about his chosen topic. �Looking toward the sun to solve energy woes by John Christ Special to The Spectrum Fossil fuels such as petroleum (CPS) and natural gas currently provide 97 percent of the energy used in the U.S. and many people have begun to realize that in 50 years at the present rate of these fuels will be gone. consumption wheels be turning in 2020? How will the Some scientists have pointed out that the ideal long-range source of electricity should be cheap, readily available and non-polluting. Yet despite the fact that such a source of power exists, it has been largely overlooked, perhaps because it is too obvious solar energy. Ultimately, the sun already provides all power on the planet. It nurtured the plants which eventually became or fed the fossil fuels of today. It unevenly heats the atmosphere and ocean of the planet, causing wind and water currents. And finally, it pours out heat and light essential to every living thing. For example, on an average June day in southern California the sun produces the equivalent of 730 megawatts per square mile of land. - - — - , Constant supply “Solar energy is constant,” pointed out John Reynolds, an architecture professor working on solar home heating projects at the University of Oregon. He and colleagues David McDaniels and Douglas Lowndes are strong advocates of solar energy. According to the three men, capturing the sun’s rays to heat a home is a simple concept, involving relatively standard technology and tremendous conservation of energy. of a the Basically, operation solar-heated house involves several steps. Sunlight strikes a solar collector which consists of corrugated strips of black metal encased in glass. This heats water which-is Jewish pumped through small tubes embedded in the collector surfaces at the rate of about a gallon a minute. The hot water then enters a storage tank. At this point, the various experimental systems usually differ. The hot water is used either t6 provide direct heat, to heat other gases or liquids which provide direct heat or to power pumps and other devices to produce heat. Two drawbacks to solar energy commonly cited are cost and cloudy days. According to the Oregon group, however, studies indicate that even in the Pacific Northeast, where overcast days and common, a precipitation are very solar-heated home is quite feasible. Free energy As for cost, the Oregon group has estimated the cost of converting a house to solar energy to hit $4000 to $5000. But after the initial expense, home energy costs would be virtually free. “With energy costs continuing to rise in the future, if will become economical very quickly,” said Mr. Lowndes. The real boon of solar energy may be the development of new types of solar cells which can be mass produced cheaply. Such cells, which power a number of satellites, convert solar energy directly to electricity. Sen. Mike Gravel (D., Ark.) is a major proponent of the wide use of solar cells. “They do not produce radioactive poisons. They have no moving parts to break down. They come in small units whose failure would not black out whole metropolitan areas. They can often be placed right at the location where power is needed which cuts the need for high voltage power lines and eliminates the significant loss of electricity which occurs as power moves from a big plant to consumers,” Mr. Gravel told' the U.S. Senate. The drawback here again is the price tag. Sen. Gravel claimed that a commercially viable solar power industry could be flourishin with an investment of $100 million. Ignore solar power Needed would be large banks of solar cells, ideally in the sunny and unsettled areas of states like Arizona and Nevada. According to Isaac Asimov, renowned biochemist and writer, solar cells working at only 10 percent efficiency, covering 30,000 square miles, would produce enough energy to meet the present needs of the entire world. Yet despite the possibilities, both the Congress and President Ford have ignored solar power, largely in favor of nuclear fisson. Three billion dollars have already been pumped into the nuclear program, and experts have said that three times that will be needed to make nuclear-generated electricity a viable energy source. The total budget set aside for solar research over the next five years equals the cost of one 500-megawatl nuclear breeder reactor, Mr. Gravel has noted. Unfortunately, that'figure is likely to decrease. Neither President Ford nor the current Congressional energy plans have put more than a very low priority on solar power. Ford’s plan doesn’t mention solar power and the congressional one only calls for channeling energy tax revenue into an unspecified energy development fund. Congress, in one of the very few actions if has taken to investigate solar power, passed a law last year that provides for a pilot program to study the use of solar collectors to supplement existing energy supplies for office buildings and to reduce peak load demands at central power stations. The House of Representatives also passed a bill establishing an Office of Solar Energy Research last year, but the bill died in the Senate and has not been reintroduced in either house this session. No one can tell whether energy priorities will be changed, or if the little money being sent to solar researchers will produce a breakthrough to call attention to solar power. Hopefully, the sun will keep shining until the answer becomes obvious. defense leader Kohane focuses on alienation by John A. Fink Staff Writer Spectrum Addressing himself to such topics as American foreign policy towards Israel and the alienation of large numbers of young Jews, Rabbi Meir Kahane, the controversial founder of the militant Jewish Defense League, attracted an overflow crowd in Norton’s Fillmore Room on March 4. Rabbi Kahane, who began a one-year prison term yesterday, underscored the dangers which lurk in the world today. He said our era is unparalleled in the 4000 years of Jewish history and “it holds within it the possibility and probability of the redemption of the Jewish people or the kind of holocaust such as we have not yet seen.” The 42-year old Zionist leader remarked that a world beset with racial, social and moral crises presents “the ingredients of a terrible danger.” He warned that when these problems are compounded with economic troubles, an “explosion” could erupt that would be blamed on the Jews. Every Jew, he said, should cautiously ask the question, “What will be?” Waning friendship Declaring that the United States is not the ally to Israel it was a year ago. Rabbi Kahane claimed that American foreign policy is slowly turning against Israel. The philosophy of past Secretary of State William Rogers continues, a policy which calls for Israel’s surrender of all territories won during the 1967 Six Day War, he said. Repeating the slogan “not one inch,” Rabbi Kahane called for American Jews to protest this policy. Israeli concessions will not bring about peace, Rabbi Kahane said, adding that the tragedy of the Middle East is not the choice between giving up lands or waging war. It is between “not giving back anything and standing 70 miles from Cairo or returning land and being 15 miles from Tel Aviv.” “Unfortunately, in either case, there must be war. And if there must be war, I say let it be 70 miles from Cairo,” he exclaimed to the loud applause of the audience. Rabbi Kahane contended that recent Arab demands the return of the Sinai seek to strangle Israel. “Remember, what did they want in 1967 when they had the Sinai and what did they want in 1956 when we gave them back the Sinai?” for Peace o pieces “And what do the Syrians want now?” he further queried: “The Golan Heights. What did they want in 1967 when they had the Golan Heights?” He said, “It is not a question of peace or pieces of land. The Arab states are committed to the destruction of the Jewish state.” Other predominant topics concerned Jewish pride, self respect, anti-Semitism and the return of all Jews to Israel. Charging that they are guilty of a lack of leadership. Rabbi Kahane repeatedly criticized the American “Jewish establishment,” which he said is responsible for the alienation of many young Jews and the “cancer” of intermarriage and assimilation. He accused the American Jewish leadership of causing the “death of a spiritual generation of young Jews.” Mr. Kahane was angered because Jews have been so willing to assume the fight for the rights and causes of so many groups other than their own. “Jewish leaders have given of themselves and broken the law for blacks, for Puerto Ricans, for Chicanes, for Eskimos, for grapes and lettuce. Black is beautiful for blacks, and Jewish is beautiful for Jews,” he said. “But that Which we did for blacks and Vietnam we did not do for our own brothers and sisters during the holocaust.” Hurting souls “The crime and sin of genocide is on the Jewish soul,” he charged, stressing that.active protest by Jews in the past could have spared thousands and perhaps millions of Jews. He cited the release of many Soviet Jews recently as an example of what a coordinated Jewish protest could accomplish. With regards to General George Brown’s remarks alleging Jewish control of the banks and media in the U.S., Rabbi Kahane millions think.” Page two The Spectrum Wednesday, 19 March 1975 . . said he was shocked that Jews were surprised. “General Brown articulates the thoughts of millions of people here,” he said. “That which he says, Rabbi Meir Kahane In reference to Henry Kissinger, Rabbi Kahane mentioned that Jews should still be vigilant because Germany had a Jewish Secretary of State in 1923 and “ten ypars later they had Hitler.” A recurring theme of the speech was the plea for all Jews to go to Israel, where they could become “complete Jews.” If all Jews would make Israel their home, he stated, Israel would be a “superpower.” Reflecting his Zionist attitudes, he said he would like Israel to be a Jewish state, “not just a Hebrew-speaking Canada.” And although he believes the American government should do what is best for America, not Israel, Rabbi Kahane contends that continuing U.S. friendship with Israel is in the best interest of America. Rabbi Kahane denied that he has urged all Jews to carry firearms. They should only know how to operate a weapon in case of necessity, he said, warning that believing that a small degree of anti-Semitism is harmless is like believing “you can be a little bit pregnant.” During the first half of the presentation, pro-Palestinian protester frequently shouted at Rabbi Kahane and repeated ftie chant “self determination for the Palestinian nation.” IN addition, when a bomb scare was announced, Rabbi Kahane said he wasn’t leaving the room because he didn’t believe it. �Summer registration The Office of Admissions and Records will conduct Summer Session 1975 Registration beginning Monday, April 7, 1975.

The guidelines, which explain the distinctions between graduate assistants, research assistants and teaching assistants, now limit the salary an employee can receive. The GSEU spokesperson claimed the guidelines can be interpreted as an the attempt by Administration to head off unionization of the graduate student employees on campus. The GSEU is trying to unionize 1200 graduate approximately students, with the active support of the New York State United Teachers. Union busters “In a general way, the revised guidelines are an attack on the union, on the sort of security the union would give us,” the spokesperson said. He indicated that GSEU would ask for a before the Public hearing Employment Relations Board (PERB) to determine if the members are actually employees. “The Administration is trying to say we aren’t,” he claimed, adding that employees are entitled to numerous “rights” while non-workers are not eligible. In a press release issued Monday, the GSEU cited an ambiguity in the guidelines’ definition of graduate assistants as students rather than employees.

Subscription by mail: $10.00 per year. Circulation average: 14,000 While the graduate assistants are repeatedly referred to as “interns” or “apprentices”, the guidelines maintain that they are not employees. GSEU claims, however, that the rights of apprentices are recognized in union contracts elsewhere. Cut-backs GSEU also criticized a secti in the guidelines which sets the maximum annual salary for graduate assistants at S390S. This would force some employees to take pay cuts next year. In 1967, the state legislature established that the pay base for graduate assistants would be equivalent to one-fourth of the faculty member’s salary. The guidelines have now set this $3905 as maximum pay, GSEU claims, even most though salaries do not assistants’ presently approach this figure. the Although guidelines prohibit graduate assistants from outside the holding jobs, spokesperson said this was only practical when the University initially pays them a “living” wage. As it stands, the guidelines discriminate in favor of those who come from high income families or who heavily incur debt to finance their studies, he said. Most graduate assistants are not allowed to have full responsibility for a class; instead, they are required to be closely supervised by a regular faculty member. But, in actuality, a of undergraduate majority contract hours are taught by graduate assistants in a number of departments and if the supervision sections of the guidelines were enforced, undergraduate education here would be in the GSEU serious trouble, claimed. Summing up the GSEU’s position toward the guidelines, the statement said: “What is missing in these guidelines is a concern for QUALITY; all we hear about is ‘expediency’ and control. “At a time when the Administration should be directing its efforts towards fighting the budgetary cutbacks jeopardizing the future of the University, they produce a document which undermines the security of graduate employees, and of the quality of graduate as well as undergraduate education on this campus.” —Forrest Four course load evaluated by Rosalie Zuckerman Spectrum Staff Writer Debate over the four course load highlighted the last meeting of the Faculty-Senate on March fourth. Analyzing the arguments against the four course load and gathering evidence to support the present system were the goals of that meeting, according to Faculty-Senate Chairman George Hochfield. Dr. Hochfield explained that the Faculty-Senatd Executive Committee is constantly “being advised” of the “chronic” pressure the University faces from the State Division of the Budget because of the four course load. He said the Division of the Budget assumes that credit hours granted must equal hours spent in the classroom, and that “it is therefore necessary for us to examine what kind of effect the four course load has had on the University in order to reply to charges that our educational program has been watered down.” Albany alarmed The size of the faculty at the University is determined by the number of full-time equivalent students (FTE’S) enrolled. FTE’s are calculated by a formula which depends on the total number of credit hours granted to all students each semester. “When we shifted to a four credit hour system (in 1968], the total number of credit hours increased, which inflated the number of FTE’s, generating more faculty. This is what alarmed the Bureau of the Budget. The State University at Binghamton is on this same system but the difference with them is that they always had it,” said Thomas Connolly, head of the sub-committee to investigate the four-course load. But former SA President Frank Jackalone claimed that the FTE figure was not significantly inflated under the four credit system, explaining that “inflation would only occur if the average student was taking five courses at four credits rather than four courses at four credits.” Additionally, Mr. Jackalone said that SUNY at Binghamton has had a four credit system only since 1966. Magic wand Opponents of the four course load have said that under the present system some students take more than four courses each semester and graduate prematurely. But data released by Dr. Connolly’s sub-committee showed that in Fall 1974 only 26 percent of all full-time students took more than 16 credits. The University must rely on the Division of the Budget for economic resources and funding new programs, according to Executive Vice President Albert Somit. “All of a sudden a magic wand was waved, and three credits became four credits without increasing contact hours,” he said. This is the Budget Division’s viewpoint and they are in a position to make their displeasure felt. We were trying to gather data to prove enrichment, but it became clear to us that this data was not available, he said. In a discussion after the meeting ended, Dr. Hochfield said the Administration was not really convinced that the quality of education has improved because of the four course load, but that President Robert Ketter would probably support whatever position the Faculty-Senate took. Dr. Ketter was not at the meeting. Not intense Physics professor Jonathan Reichert said the present system devalued natural science courses because students were not given additional credits for the extensive hours spent in labs. He suggested that a flexible credit system be considered. Biology professor Harold Segal said after the meeting that the “intensity” of courses did not increase with institution of the four course load, which was one of the reasons for changing to the system in 1968. “1 do not feel that students are putting any more into courses now then they were before the four course load,” he explained. “I am against The Spectrum editorial that said ‘vote against getting rid of the four course load, don’t work more.’ But I say yes, work more.” James Lawler, professor of Philosophy, told the Senate that if the University met Albany’s demands by going back to the three credit hour system, the faculty student ratio would increase by 25 percent, in addition to a projected increase in the faculty-student ratio of 20 percent over the next few years. He said faculty and students should “come together” on this issue. “We must all unite to protest in Albany,” he urged. No security In other business, the Senate discussed the problems facing the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). EOP director Edward Jenkins said that under present state guidelines, the program can only admit students who are both educationally and economically disadvantaged. “We would like to modify this rule so that we may direct our services to students who are economically disadvantaged but who meet conventional educational standards,” he said. Dr. Jenkins also discussed the temporary status of EOP counselors. “All of our counseling staff have temporary appointments. They could be here 20 years without job security,” he emphasized, adding that the current structure makes it difficult for the University to attract and retain able professional people. The Faculty-Senate voted unanimously to discuss these two concerns at the next meeting. Dr. Somit announced that despite budget problems, the University has been authorized to appoint 75 percent of available graduate assistantships and to make six to seven key faculty appointments. He said the University was “gambling” with every appointment it made but that they were necessary to keep programs running next fall. Dr. Somit also told the Faculty-Senate that the recent library budget slash was made on the basis of erroneous information. “We have 'protested in writing and orally to Albany and there is at least a chance that they will reconsider that reduction,” he said.

The information he does have is based on statements made by others,” said Mr. Jackson. by Sherrie Brown Spectrum Staff Writer Judge Gilbert King has reserved decision on a subpoena request by the Attica Defense to require Vice President Nelson Rockefeller to testify about his knowledge of events that led to the death of William Quinn, the only prison guard to have allegedly died at the hands of prison inmates during the 1971 Attica uprising. for defendants Attorneys and Charles Decajewiah further Pernasilice want a explanation of statements by Mr. Rockefeller made last year before a House Judiciary Committee that William Quinn died from wounds incurred after being pushed out of official window. The a commission that investigated the uprising said the fall from a window was a “manifestly false rumor.” The prosecution is trying to prove that Mr. Quinn died from head injuries after being beaten by the two defendants. No statement yet Mr. Rockefeller has made no statement concerning the possible subpoena, according to John Mullikeni, a member of his White House press staff. In Attica testimony last week, Robert Kopec, a witness for the prosecution, testified that he had seen Dacajewiah hit Mr. Quinn on the right side of the head, just above the temple. This is the first testimony that has specifically located the area of the head where Mr. Quinn was fatally struck. Mr. Kopec further testified that Dacajewiah had told him the day of the uprising that he had hit a prison guard. “He told me, he thought he had killed a guard at ‘Times Square’ [part of the prison] that morning because he was hitting him and just lost his mind and he kept hitting him and hitting him and hitting him until blood came out of his eyes, ears and mouth and that’s why he thinks he killed him,” said Mr. Kopec. intimately involved’ In arguing for Mr. Rockefeller’s appearance, defense attorney William Kunstler said, “We are not dealing with a functionary or subordinate, but with a man who was intimately involved with the events of Attica.” Mr. Rockefeller had ordered the state police to retake Attica prison, an action which resulted in the deaths of 39 prisoners and hostages. In opening statements, the defense had expressed its intent to prove the charges against the defendants false, and defense attorneys feel Mr. Rockefeller’s testimony will show this. ”We feel that the indictements in this case and other Attica cases are a of Governor whitewash Rockefeller,” said Joseph Heath, a defense lawyer. William E. Jackson, a lawyer for Mr. Rockefeller, argued that any testimony by him would be inadmissible as evidence. “He is not only not a material witness, he is not a witness at all,” Mr. asserted. “Mr. Jackson Rockefeller was simply not there. j In cross examination, Mr. Kunstler brought out Mr. Kopec’s own history in an attempt to discredit his testimony. Mr. Kopec had been convicted for burglary, possession of burglar’s tools and conspiracy to commit burglary. In addition, his father-in-law had complained that Mr. Kopec had threatened to burn his house down. Mr. Kunstler also noted that Mr. Kopec has the same physical Dacajewiah, as appearance inferring that Mr. Kopec could have attacked Mr. Quinn, not Dacajewiah.

The relatively small amount of sex solicitation that does take place is a mere vestige of prostitution’s heyday in this city. In 1940, the Queen City was an “open city,” filled with massage parlors and walk-in whore houses. Now, the small number who do sell their bodies, or have it sold for them by pimps, are mainly street walkers. They operate mostly in the West Chippewa district. Many are drug addicts, C<r u working to support their pimps, or their own habit. The Chippewa operations are mostly cheap and dirty. Much ot the sex occurs in alleys, parked cars, taverns, or dingy hotels. Many of the men who pay for this are middle-aged and middle-class. According to Captain Kenneth Kennedy the Police of Department’s Bureau of Vice there are 25-35 arrests for prostitution monthly in of Buffalo. After a period investigation, which might include plainclothes surveillance of the alleged prostitute’s activity, the police make their arrests. These arrests often result from close communication with the FBI Investigation, Criminals The can be misdemeanor, a which means 90 days or a $1000 are on placed fine.

Though he too is the object of police investigation, as Captain Kennedy prostitute convicted of .insists, usually less than fen men are arrested annually.

Typically in the background, the pimp sends his “girls” out and has them return to him with her earnings. are If the “girls” arrested, he will most likely provide bail and other legal aid.

The latter is similar to a dog biting the feeding hand, and does not usually occur. - & According to police records, there is evidence that a pattern of anti-social behavior arises from the pimp-prostitute culture. Many pimps teach their prostitutes to shoplifters. In become good Buffalo, some of the women who walk the streets by night are busy stealing from the malls and shopping centers by day.

The Spectrum Page five . �Roy Shafer Sexual stereotypes run good, bad risks in bringing up baby by Laura Bartlett Staff Writer Spectrum “Sexual Stereotypes,” their sources and influence on lives, and the good and bad consequences that would result from their absence was the subject of a lecture last week by Roy Shafer, a professor of Psychiatry and our Psychology at Yale University. Dr. Shafer began by defining the use of a stereotype as “dealing with something in such a way that eliminates, or decreases, its individuality,” with both positive and negative results. On one hand, he said, a growing child must be able to “classify” people and things out of the ocean of stimuli the world presents to him. Stereotypes aid the child in “orienting himself” to his environment, and in his “self-definition.” Dr. Shafer believes that if human beings attempted to look at the world without stereotypes in order to catagorize people it always “creating reality for ourselves” and things would result in “obsessive paralysis of thought and — — action.” “A Price” But, the use of stereotypes “has its price,” creating “a kind of prison,” for some individuals, he continued. The woman must deal with the concept of a “sex object.” There is also a belief that society is set against the idea of a “natural something” inherant in men that must be beaten back that man must be “domesticated.” Dr. Shafer said that in attempting to pinpoint how many biological differences justify such stereotypes, difficulty arises, since it has not been determined at what age children begin to classify things and people by themselves. He said it is an accepted belief that “a child’s most basic thinking about himself” and his body are influenced most by his family. - Here the child communicates “morality” as it is perceived in his household, and its attitudes toward the breasts, genitals, feces, and “who-does-what-with-whom.” The nature of these ideas “go a long way toward accounting for Attempts fear,” Dr. Shafer maintained. Boy to man He then discussed what he termed the “psychology of the male sex, and how*feelings and the oppressor” experiences in various stages of childhood come to be unconscious influences of behavior and the basis for certain sexual stereotypes in later life. From the pre-genital stage of his infancy come many of the future expectations in a woman. He learns from his mother that a woman must be tolerant, warm, responsive, eager to please, and willing to “baby” him. As he grows older, he is encouraged to forget these ideas, but Dr. Shafer said that “the desire to be babied is a wish never given up,” and is often a source of anxiety to the mature man, who seeks to be “the boss,” omnipotent in his household. At the same time, he wants to be babied. — The genital stage then produces incestuous desires, beginning with the desire to replace his father. The small boy isn’t quite sure what he would do if given the opportunity, Dr. Shafer said, but he craves the kind of closeness with his mother that his father has. As a result of this desire, he feels several basic anxieties: that his father will discover his attraction towards his mother and punish him, by means of castration; that his mother would reject him; and that he wouldn’t be as “good” as his father and would fail to satisfy his mother sexually. This third fear, Dr. Shafer said, sometimes reoccurs later in life, and is the hidden cause of sexual inadequacy fears and impotence. Radical alteration He concluded by describing the effects of a “radical alteration” in our present set of stereotypes. He said it would “be lunatic to think we could have a society without some form of them,” and he believes that many of the people who seek wholesale changes are “too optimistic.” Their beliefs are basically that altering our stereotypes would “leave people as we know them, only nicer," and that there is nothing to guarantee this, Dr. Shafer explained. He believes that a virtual “social revolution” would accompany any great change, and would necessitate changes in our most basic beliefs concerning the family, mental health, maturity, nnd marriage. “What it makes sense to expect,” he added, would be more manifest bisexuality, homosexuality and perversions. But it is exactly “fear of radical changes that has led to acceptance of stereotypes,” even where they have proven detremental. He believes that our society should be as free as possible from the kind of “social engineering” presented in Brave New World and 1984, which he feels we are presently leaning towards. Dr. Shafer asserted that “a lot of the indoctrination and shaping of the mind” in our society is given the euphorism “culture,” and re-evaluation of this idea can go a long way toward developing a more humanistic set of stereotypes.

A subconscious desire to be castrated is formed which becomes a “terrifying thing” as the boy matures. As society’s aversion to homosexuality becomes more evident to him, his anxiety grows. In summary, these two phases leave the man with the stereotype view of a woman as a passive object of gratification, warm and responsive to him, obedient and childbearing. This puts pressure on the women, to behave in this manner, and to feel that anything else is “unfeminine.” Our society is geared, he said, toward training little girls to fit this role. Given this stereotype, and a man’s numerous anxieties, Dr. Shafer defined marraige as a “risky working relationship” which, despite what might be expected, often works out very well if the couple can strike the “delicate balance” needed to satisfy each partAer. 257 2696.

Editor’s note: The following is the second of a two-part series on efforts to save the historic Prudential Building in downtown Buffalo from demolition. Mercantile Palace Sullivan, prior Just to yet not Utilitarianism was accepted as a valid source of to according inspiration, Morrison. Great height and volume were considered close to grotesque, and uniformity was considered monotony. Elaborate decoration was used to exalt the office building into a “mercantile palace,” borrowing heavily from past styles. The ornamentation on the Prudential, the finely detailed terra cotta, is not just decoration but a texturing that unifies the entire facade. It also fireproofs the facade, and protects it against the elements. for As a spokesman reform, architectural Sullivan opposed the historical eclecticism of his time.

The call also urges opposition to all American involvement in Indochina, and invites the general public to attend. The entrance entire facade. to Buffalo's Prudential Building displays the finely detailed terra cotta design that unifies the Photos by Forrest assignments. Not a very pleasant chore for a man who began designing buildings when he was 17. During the latter part of his apprenticeship, Wright rebelled, and began developing his own style of free, smooth planes. He also began to stress horizontalism, where Sullivan was so fond of verticalism. It is not surprising that Wright and Sullivan had a feud in 1893, which wasn’t resolved until 1914, when Sullivan, confined to bed wiih illness, asked Wright to come and listen to his writings.

The floors were mosaic, The walls were marble, and there was a mosaic frieze at the top. Segments of these are still peeking out behind the makeshift formica walls.

In five years of war, more than 700,000 Cambodian citizens have been killed, and 3.4 million left homeless. The reports keep piling in, graphic descriptions of Cambodian peasants whose arms and legs have been replaced by ragged stumps, hospital workers binding the hands of maimed, bedridden men to prevent them from breaking open their wounds, while flies cover their faces and crawl into their mouths. The more these routine facts of Cambodian life are pounded into our heads day after day by filmed reports from Indochina, by newspaper articles, and surprisingly enough, by some members of the House and Senate, the more unbelievable becomes the Ford Administration's desire to send even one more dollar of military aid to the Lon Nol government. But Henry Kissinger, and the men who surround and revere him, are numb to human considerations. Cambodia is merely one variable of a balanced equation to Kissinger, nothing more; his abstract, computerized mind conceives of death and destruction only in terms of their relation to history. Kissinger would have us believe that we must continue sending military aid to Cambodia to preserve our credibility abroad. If we do mu political assassinations abroad, attempted or successful.

The Spectrum Wednesday, 19 March 1975 . �Stupid students Well here we are again. And last week’s sterling effort had not even hit print yet as I began to construct yet another masterpiece. The world may not in fact be ready for two consecutive papers containing this column (a fate from which, it "turns out, fate saved you). Rut To Ihe Editor. While attending a recent Faculty-Senate meeting I was handed a folded sheet of yellow paper with “student only” written on the cover. Inside it asked that any student with a question, clear it first with Frank Jackalone (“in the green ski sweater”), who would then either answer it, in his omnipotent way, or if he deemed it fit, ask it himself. His reasoning being if a student asks a stupid question, that will reflect on the intelligence of the entire student body. He says that the Faculty consider the students stupid. Well I consider a student who asks stupid questions stupid, just like I consider a stupid Faculty member stupid or a stupid administrator stupid. So where does Frank Jackalone come off with the knowledge to decide what questions should be asked by anyone other than Frank Jackaone. Let him speak for himself and I will speak for myself. David then, Hyzy grump To the Editor. by Sleese This is to reply to a letter by Doug Zeif (Zebra Shit) concerning the review of Jethro Tull; Granted my mistake about Passion Play. After the phone rang, it was to tell Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond the next song, which 1 Aqualung. This is in obvious reiterate w?s you, and if you can think of any with disagreement way of resolving it, give me a call. For myself, 1 don’t know why you put your energy into it anyway why not help out Martin Sostre, or Attica, or the United Farmworkers? Seems to me there’s more on your mind than a couple of specific details about the concert. Maybe you were one of the people on the IRC bus? In any event, maybe you should read the review v again and get in touch with the source of your anger. By the way, I was incredibly impressed with Tull and thought she put on a great show. - information and Ford time necessary to do all these necessaries is not so easy to procure. The only place, in fact, that seems to be available is reduced sack time. In the army, especially in the first eight weeks of training, one survives. (There wasn’t originally supposed to be a period after survival; it just sort of appeared there by itself. Because it is, in fact, only the appearance of survival glimmering on the horizon that keeps you going.) One of the critical series of events involving army basic when I went through it was the greatly reduced amounts of sleep that one survives on. Especially in warmer weather there is a rapidly developing capacity to sleep anywhere, under vitually any conditions. Sleeping while sitting down is a snap by the third week. Unfortunately, since most of the so-called training classes are conducted in that position, it is frequently a source of friction between those whose duty it is to instruct and those who prefer to make better use of a reasonably warm and quiet place by catching a little sleep. By the latter stages of such training a good sleep addict can even manage to maneuver into the corner of an army six-by-six so that it is possible to sleep while wedged upright by the rest of the mob. . Other horror stories along the same lines could be told, but why bother. Suffice it to say that by the ability to sleep under limited, or impossible conditions, you have identified a sleep eeping instead of reading, the problem has possible exception is the Public Health Service quarantining you if you have too much of one. It becomes clearer as I get foggier that sleep deprivation gives you a rather righteously mellow feeling in its own right. There are some side effects, as usual. Sleep highs seem to be most costly in terms of snappish temper and tendency to forget any number of things. Unfortunately, the forgetting is a broad spectrum phenomena. It is not just little things, such as it is stop lights that change color before you can go through the intersection, rather than stop signs. It is also such things as most of the phone numbers that you usually try to keep in your head, where you last put a wide variety of small objects; nail clippers, notebook, jackknife. Not to mention the problem of trying to remember what critical events there were that you recorded in the notebook, just before you put it . . . somewhere. If you tend to be a little twitchy in general, sleep can have, at least on me, the effect of cooling you a little. (Yes, I know I said 1 was snappy in the last paragraph, this is this paragraph!) The things that used to get me clearly and obviously anxious either fail to bother me at all, or make me froth at the mouth. The result is that I am at least a little clearer about what I am feeling at the moment. It seems that if you don’t have enough energy to waste being your usual anxious self, you just forget about it. Or become furious. Try dropping your sleep back to about six hours a night for a few weeks insomniacs need and see where your head not write nasty letters winds up. Keep your weekends near the end of the experiment as free as possible, however. You may find yourself unable to crawl out of bed some morning, and it would be a shame to miss something important. Enough. Guess where I am going? Take care - - from fiction To the Editor To the Editor. I am writing in regard to an article which appeared in the Friday, February 14, 1975, edition of your paper entitled “National Intrease in Abortions After Supreme Court Ruling” by Kim Stanton, Spectrum Staff Writer. Ms. Stanton spoke with myself and another representative of Erie Medical Center over the telephone to obtiin her information for this article, despite the fact that I asked her to come in to speak with us in person. I feel that this may be a contributing factor in the misinterpretations and misinformation that were present in this article. Regarding abortions performed at this clinic, the following should be noted: 1. Appointments are made with the use of a calculator to approximate a woman’s length of pregnancy. When the woman comes into the clinic, her length of pregnancy is then determined by internal examination by our doctor. If the woman is within our eleven week limit, the abortion will be performed at that time. 2. Medical procedures ar e always explained by a trained counselor in a pre-counseling session. Birth control is presented and explained in a post-counseling session. 3. Patients stay in the clinic for approximately 3-4 hours. The actual abortion takes about 3-6 minutes. Regarding menstrual extractions which are performed here, the following corrections should be noted: early abortion procedure. 2. Out of the 300-400 menstrual extractions that have been performed at this clinic, only one resulted in the woman still being pregnant. (“ out of the 300 to 400 patients who have undergone menstrual extraction, only one became pregnant .. afterwards.”) Marilynn Nixon s reached woeful proportions. And I laughed when my vocational interest test came back telling me that I had a high need achievement.

One is left with the impression that the quotes are fabricated. In fact, in the whole article only R.F. Botha, the South African chief delegate to the United Nations, is named. 7. Whoever wrote the article knows very little about South Africa, and The Spectrum's willingness to publish such trash reflects unfavorably on the editorial staffs ability to distinguish fact from fiction. Susan Krasny Repressive climate To the Editor Richard Korman’s “Rosenberg case . . .” article, printed in The Spectrum of Friday, February 28th, was a heartening sight for members of the Buffalo chapter of the National Committee to Re-Open the Rosenberg Case, even though it was unfortunately too late to call attention to the showings of “The Unquiet Death of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg” on and off campus. I would wish, however, to shed some light on the mistakes of the defense in this infamous “atom-spy” case. It is fairly easy with the hindsight of 22 years to see those mistakes clearly. We are not as blinded and thwarted by hysterical anti-Communism as we were in the “McCarthy days.” It is important to remember, however, that Alexander and Emmanuel Bloch, along with their assistant, Gloria Agrim, and Morton Sobell’s counsel, were alone in challenging the monolithic United States government. Liberal elements such as ACLU steered clear of the case. Even leftists groups and publications offered no help until after the convictions, and then only a few of them questioned those convictions and sentences. The defense attorneys’ “most glaring error” was not the failure to cross-examine Harry Gold or put Morton Sobell on the witness stand in his own defense. Their mistake, and the mistake of most Americans at that time (and perhaps still today), was to presume that the courts and the FBI were that a jury would be selected of the apolitical Rosenbergs’ peers; that the FBI would not plant “evidence” in the minds and testimony of government witnesses; that the government would never stoop to forging “documentary” evidence. Emmanuel Bloch truly believed that the Rosenbergs would get a fair trial, and that they would be before the Civil acquitted. But in those days Rights movement, before the blatant political it was frame-ups of the late 60s and early 70s much easier to believe patriotically in the fairness of our system of justice, which, after all, is a “cornerstone of American democracy.” One would hope by the mid-seventies, having lived through Watergate and with the current CIA investigations, that we do not believe everything we read in the newspapers, and that we question and scrutinize carefully what our government does for, to, and in the name of the American people.

Mr. Kohane said, although there was no evidence of a need for such a measure. The bill’s use of the term “political purposes” without definition or explanation makes it a potentially repressive piece of legislation, he said. “It could be stretched to cover on-campus from anything speakers to athletics to student newspapers,” said Mr. Kohane, explaining that almost anything can be defined as a “political” issue if the term is used loosely. Even if student publications were allowed to continue operation, he said, their coverage of campus issues could be severely restricted. Not a chance The bill was unanimously defeated in committee, meeting the same fate as similar bills which have been introduced each year befpre the State Legislature. Irwin Landes, chairman of the Assembly Higher Education Committee, said he is “tired of seeing them.” Assemblyman John Flanagan (R.,. 7th Dist.) said he hopes this bill and all others like it, would get the “deep six.” “The argument that activity fee money is students’, supports letting them decide how to spent it,” Mr. Flanagan added.

The regulation eight minutes against Fred Bohna of UCLA ended with the score deadlocked at 1- Both wrestlers scored escapes in a match that was wrestled almost entirely on the feet. The overtime was pretty similar, resulting in a 2- tie. The referee’s decision went to Bohna. Wright’s loss resulted from his lack of aggressiveness and his inability to set up his patented rolling headlock. “I’ve had enough of this sport and I’m disgusted,” said Wright sarcastically. “I’m so disgusted that I’m wrestling in an open tournament next weekend,” he added. For Young, a fine career is over. Wright may have a semester of eligibility left, which, disgusted or not. he would use next winter. - (8), and Dixon; Jakubowski, — of 8-1. He circled Slocum for three takedowns and gained the time advantage point as well. Young’s next opponent was Washington’s Brad Jacot. Jacot took control in the second period and never relinquished it. Young may have tired himself out by attempting to ward off an inevitable but slowly completed takedown early in the period.

School — �The Spccnp Prisoner’s richts Jit v> SUNYAB Archives 123 Jewett Parkway Buffalo, New York %/ •» i • __ 14214 UK4CO w oof 11' c / by Brian Land Staff Writer Spectrum Martin Sostre, convicted last month in Plattsburg, New York of assaulting three prison guards while they forced him to submit to a rectal search at Clinton State Prison, will be sentenced March 25 by Judge Robert Feinberg, who presided at the trial. Mr. Sostre faces life possible imprisonment under New York’s “persistent offender” law because it was his third felony conviction. Supporters of Mr. Sostre will demonstrate in Plattsburg at the sentencing next week. [ icmg Buffalo as well as many other northern cities.” A spontaneous outburst erupted on Buffalo’s East Side in 1967, and Police Commissioner Frank Felicetta charged that Mr. Sostre was the leader. Although Mr. Sostre was initially accused of riot and arson, he was finally convicted of selling worth of heroin and $15 sentenced to a 25 to 30 year prison term. Many observers questioned the fairness of the 1967 trial, since the chief prosecution witness, Arto Williams, recanted his testimony after the trial. In a sworn statement, Mr. Williams has since claimed that his cooperation with police was obtained in exchange for leniency in a separate drug-related case. When Mr. Sostre appealed to the State Supreme Court, however, Judge John Curtin refused to overturn the conviction anyway. The case is now being appealed through federal courts. • Martin Sostre Shortly after the all-white jury verdict, guilty returned its Antonio Rodriguez of the Martin Sostre Defense Committee stood up and raised his arm in a salute to the defendant. About twenty spectators joined him in the salute. Mr. Rodriguez began reading a statement condemning the trial as a frameup. Most of the statement was drowned out by the cry “Free Martin Sostre.” Police thenrushed into the courtroom and Judge ordered the Fcinberg demonstrators arrested, including a pregnant black woman who had attempted to leave. Mailjouse lawyer’ Mr. Sostre has spent most of his seven years in prison in solitary confinement, including the last two and a half in Clinton State Prison, supposedly for refusing to shave off a quarter inch beard. However, his defense contends that the real reason is his militant defense of prisoners’ rights to be treated as human beings. Through the courts, Mr. Sostre won the right for prisoners to receive uncensored mail, and to practice Islam religion without Sostre’s harassment. Mr. numerous legal briefs have earned him a reputation as a “jailhouse who lawyer” constantly the entire prison challenges system. A major focus of his efforts has been opposing rectal searches. Prisoners in solitary at Clinton are required to submit to the search to allow guards to look for weapons, although 24 hour confinement makes it difficult to obtain contraband. Additionally, buards are subject to disciplinary action for failure to perform the exam. Five years ago, Federal Judge Constance Motley ruled that the rectal search was “degrading in the sense that it is needlessly dehumanizing.” The court also awarded Mr. Sostre $13,000 for “cruel and unusual punishment” because he was in solitary, or the “box,” so long. The judge’s landmark decisions were later overturned on an appeal, however. Recanted testimony Twelve people were arrested for contempt of court and released a week later on bail pending an appeal, which will be heard next month in the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in Albany. The Defense Committee expects to win the appeal because it claims that the judge illegally backdated the contempt citations instead of submitting them immediately. Additionally, the actions of particular individuals required in the citations are not Forcible search Earlier this month. Federal specified. In 1966, Mr. Sostre, a black Judge Edmund Port in Auburn the denied Mr. Sostre’s request for an Puerto opened Rican, on injunction enforcing Afro-Asian Bookstore against Buffalo to aid Jefferson Avenue in prison regulations concerning “the growing political awareness beards and rectal searches.

This cutback means that library acquisitions, telephone and mimeo facilities will be cut, and that no graduate assistants will be hired for The United University Professionals (UUP) and the Graduate Student Employees Union (GSEU) have attacked Governor Carey’s proposed budget for the State University and criticized the Ketter administration for dealing complacently with the cutbacks. The UUP’s “all-member alert,” signed by legislative Chairperson Dr. James Lawler, accused the the summer. climate of fear” by that determine who will leave if further cuts are made. Rather than deciding this, Dr. Lawler said, the administration should spend its time fighting cutbacks. “If we spend our time worrying about who will cut whom, about which department or individual is most expendable,” said Dr. Lawler, “the present fears will be realized and we will be instruments of that realization.” Dr. Lawler called on all UUP members to joing the statewide letter-writing campaign against education budget cuts now being carried out by the New York State United Teachers (NYSUT). generating “a drawing up “contingency plans” administration of — Inflation The GSEU explained that although this The University will also lose either 50-150 faculty lines or 200—600 graduate assistants (or a combination of the two), according to the graduate student group. “Rather than actively resist cutbacks,” charged GSEU, “the University management has accepted the governor’s budget and now turns to paring off what they would call ‘excess baggage’ our jobs, our minority programs, our wages.” The GSEU called for “an organized and unified staff, by faculty, professional effort” nonprofessional staff and students to fight the Carey budgets through marches on the Capitol and similar means of protest. In addition, the GSEU endorsed the UUP-NYSUT letter-writing campaign and has called on all members of the University community to join in that effort. the — SUN Y instructs Ketter not to fight for increases in budget by Richard Korman “one unit of a system,” he said, requests that for stressing additional funds must initially be made through the State University with rest supplemental Despite anticipated cuts in services and personnel, the University will not ask for more money in Governor Carey’s proposed State University budget because SUNY has instructed President Robert Ketter not to request additional funds. The Spectrum has learned. Ketter had Dr. left the impression with many members of The State University at Buffalo is the University community that he would, at the very least, be able to fight the proposed cuts by negotiating with officials in the State Division of the Budget. But the State University now feels it would be expedient for him not to make further budget requests at this time, Dr. Ketter said in a telephone interview its request, which it expects to file in the near future, and with errors that were apparently made by the Divisioi of the Budget in preparing tht now Campus Editor budget University’s library budget. Investigations cuts by of the the library University administration found that a study of libraries across the state, probably written by an outside consulting organization, failed to note the existence of a Health Wednesday. The proposed Executive Budget calls for savings of $336,000 by cutting 35 positions, five extension and including public service jobs, six dormitory administrators, eight faculty from the School of Nursing, ten positions in Student Services and six unspecified positions. Fear cuts It also calls for reductions in expenses, space instructional rental, nuclear science and technology and other unspecified areas for a total of $464,000 in savings. Thus far, the proposed cuts in the library acquisitions, Nursing facutly and Student Services have caused the greatest apprehension. The library cuts which University would slash the libraries’ rate of acquiring new volumes by one third would be “devastating” to the University — — the many Western New Yorkers who use them, according to most observers. Because of this, the State Division of the Budget has granted the University permission to request additional funds for library book acquisitions in a and supplemental budget. Discussing SUNY’s rationale for opposing requests for more funds in the Executive Budget, Dr. Ketter explained that political considerations were paramount. of New York, then through the Governor, and finally with the State Legislature.

No. 64 University of New York Wednesday, 5 March 1975 at Buffalo Rosenberg witnesses fell prey to FBI grilling by Richard Korman Campus Editor Editor’s note: The following is the second of a series of articles dealing with the unanswered questions in the 1951 trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Martin Sobell. This installment explores the testimony of Harry Gold and David Greenglass. Except for statements made by Harry Gold, the only other testimony which directly implicated Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for stealing the atom bomb was given by David Greenglass, his wife Ruth, and Ethel Rosenberg’s brotherMr. Greenglass told the court of how the Rosenbergs recruited him and his wife into Soviet espionage, and how, at the Rosenberg’s urging, he secretly gathered information from the Los Alamos Project near Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he worked as a mechanic. The information he gathered by sight were diagrams of the lense molds needed to begin thejmplosion reaction used in early nuclear weapons. Mr. Greenglass, who was a high school graduate, later made sketches of the lense molds from memory. He later turned over the sketches to Harry Gold, who he said called on him at his Albuquerque apartment. Both Gold and Greenglass, with later corroboration from Ruth, said Gold came to the door with the password “1 come from Julius,” and the matching side of an oddly cut jello boxtop, which had been given to him by Julius at the Rosenberg’s in New York. Large picture painted Mr. Gold further testified that he turned over the information furnished by David Greenglass to his espionage superior, Anatoli Yakovlev, whom Gold said described the information as “very excellent.” The picture painted by the prosecution was that the Rosenbergs and Harry Gold were part of a larger Soviet spy ring in America directed by confessed British Soviet spy Klaus Fuchs. There is no taped or written record of Klaus Fuchs ever identifying either Harry Gold or the Rosenbergs. Klaus Fuchs has in later years declined comment on the matter. At the same time Harry Gold said he was leading a double life as a soviet spy, he was a bachelor working in small industry as a chemical engineer. At the obstruction of justice trial of Abraham Brothman and Miriam Moskowitz, both alleged to be members of the Communist Party, Mr. Gold, on cross examination, confessed that he had maintained a fantasy wife and family for years. He told so many stories that sometimes he thought “smoke would come out of my ears,” he said in court. Interrogation When alleged communist spies were questioned by FBI agents, it was typical for them to interrogate a suspect for hours or days at a time, often making a variety of charges and threats, and in the process, giving the suspect a fairly good idea of the crimes he had allegedly committed. Recordings of pre-trial statements by Harry Gold show that he identified the Greenglasses and the Rosenbergs in this way: FBI agents placed before him two lists of twenty names. The agents would point to various names on the lists. At the top of one list were the names David and Ruth Greenglass; at the top of the other list were Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. It is not clear just how far the FBI agents went in prompting Harry Gold’s memory of people he never knew. David Greenglass’ first contact with the FBI came at a time when he was under a great deal of personal stress. Although not directly essential for disproving the case against the Rosenbergs, it is helpful to understand the personal weaknesses of the chief witnesses, such as the fantasizing of Harry Gold, and how these peculiar weaknesses were seized upon by the FBI conspirators. “Perverse satisfaction” In their book Invitation to an Inquest which many consider the definitive work on the Rosenberg-Sobell trial, Walter and Miriam Shneir write of Harry Gold: “Fear of punishment, which might ordinarily deter , one from falsely confessing to a capital crirfte, apparently did not influence Gold. An ominous hint of his perverse satisfaction at the punishment soon to be meted out to him is contained in the closing paragraphs of one of his pretrial statements; I must be punished, and punished well, for the terribly frightening.things that have been done . . The manner in which all the pieces of the giant jig-saw puzzle, of which I was a part, are falling ever so gloriously into to reveal the whole picture has added a place tremendous zest to my life’.” These were the words of the once obscure chemist who was suddenly catapulted to fame by his confession and naming of his fellow conspirators. American conspiracy laws have been a source of controversy in recent years, largely because of the attention brought by the trial of the Chicago Eight in 1970 and the conviction of the Watergate conspirators earlier this year. Because the charge was conspiracy, the crimes allegedly committed by the Rosenbergs were invisible. No physical evidence was offered by the prosecution. The lense mold sketches and the cut jello box shown to the jury were replicas of the originals. The sketches were drawn again from memory by David Greenglass for the prosecution. The jello box was cut by the prosecution in front of the jury. . — — Substitutes These substitutes for real evidence were not challenged by the defense. For all practical purposes, they concretized the alleged crimes for the jurors, and, amidst a miasma of detail, became the actual physical evidence in their minds. The only proof that a crime had ever been committed came from David Greenglass. Any doubt of his credibility would almost destroy the prosecution’s case. And there are several strong hints that David Greenglass was not the most reliable witness ever to take the stand.

Despite this genial mood, chief prosccuter Irving Saypol said that Greenglass considered “running away or “ Probably frightened Relations between the Greenglass’ and the Rosenberg’s had become tense after a dispute over a mutual business venture. Amidst all this pressure, David Greenglass had probably lied under a loyalty oath, which was perjury, and at another instant had most likely stolen a small amount of uranium ore from Los Alamos. The penalty for espionage is death, Greenglass was told by the FBI agents. Both he and his wife were equally implicated. When David Greenglass decided to cooperate with the government in its case against the Rosenbergs, he was a very frightened man. When Judge Irving Kaufman pronounced the fifteen-year sentence on David Greenglass, Ruth, who was never indicted, fainted in her seat. He served ten years. Security withdraws harrassment of gays committee members have advised people who have complaints against Campus Security to speak about them only with a lawyer. Unconfirmed reports Speculation tha the decision to stop the patrols came from officials on the Administration could not be confirmed. Mr. Michaels said his committee was attempting to arrange a meeting for later this week with the Administration and Campus Security. The purpose of the meeting is to get assurances that what Mr. Michaels characterized as “unconstitutional harrassment” would end. Mr. Griffin argued that law enforcement could not be effected “without offending somebody.” He claimed he was unaware of any harrassment or entrapment, and that his efforts to deal with complainants had been unsuccessful. Security has received no written complaints as yet, Mr. Griffin said, but “if there’s been improper conduct, we’ll take disciplinary action.” Bob and Don's Mobil* Serving North S' South Campuses Towing RoadService & • • 632-9533 - Complete car service - I STUDENT DISCOUNT 1 !

Lee Griffin, assistant director of Campus Security, said the special detail charged with stopping alleged “open scfrual acts” by people who were considered to be outsiders to the university, was withdrawn because Security was uncertain that the campus community wanted Security to handle the problem. “If the larger community is willing to accept this kind of conduct, we’ll back off and let the local police handle it,” Mr. Griffin said. Don Michaels, a representative of the Mattachine Society of the Gay Community Services Center, said he and the ad hoc committee formed to protest alleged harrassment of gay males would not be satisfied with less than a guarantee from Campus Security and the Administration that “this sort of harrassment will not happen again.” Mr. Michaels and other March 18 through April 5.

The actions stemmed from unhappiness with the quality of FSA services. USG President Ann Kindell said, however, that she was dismayed that the administration has misunderstood the intentions 4 of the USG committee because pf the misconduct of “troublemakers: who took the leaflets as an excuse to yell, make noise, and create disruption on campus.” Although several unidentified individuals jumped on top of tables, making it seem as if there was a “boycott” of FSA, Ms. Kindell claimed the USG was simply encouraging constructive criticism and change. “We are encouraging students to use off-campus facilities, to save themselves some money, until we can negotiate with FSA to improve the quality of their services,” she said. USG’s major complaint deals with the inconsistent prices and quality of FSA services. The Pub, the Bookstore, and the cash lines all operate under separate management even though all are FSA tributaries, Ms. Kindell explained. “As a result of the separate managing policies, prices of identical items vary at different locations.” She noted that sugar selling for $2.00 per box at one area only costs $1.66 at another. Quality Students are also dissatisfied with the inconsistent quality of the food at different service areas. Ms. Kindell complained that one cash line serves sandwiches and’ subs with nearly twice the meat of the other lines. The complaints of varying quality apply to board contract lines as well. “One night, half the pork chops will be greasy and the other half won’t be ...” one student explained. Dan Sawers, the College’s Coordinator of Communications and Auxiliary Services, agrees that many of the student grievances are valid, and said he is willing to meet with student representatives this week to “Work things out.” But he denied students’ that FSA accusations have jbeen dosed, ano unresponsive. Ms. Kindell said the news media arid the college newspaper, tl)t Record, contributed to the misunderstanding between USG and the FSA administration. She accused “those who have taken advantage of out intentions” of impeding any progress toward a solution. Ms. Kindell said she expected the FSA to be more responsive to student suggestions in the future, and that the negotiations would ‘‘without proceed misunderstanding and interference.” _ ■ MK SF=* K.AI—MK "r, HIC=9IK We Are Not Only A Ski Shop g XK=T| —Santo* A disappointing student rally A Student Association rally to support the four-course load Monday was termed “disappointing” by SA President Frank Jackalone. At the small gathering in the Norton Conference Theater, Mr. Jackalone accused the Faculty-Senate of delaying action on the four-course load question until now, to capitalize on the confusion caused by the change in the SA administration. The Faculty-Senate met yesterday to review the findings of a Senate subcommittee that has been investigating the issue since September. Subcommittee Chairman Thomas Connelly said the Faculty-Senate will be a “no-action” hearing, since there will be no voting on any proposals introduced by the subcommittee. Mr. Jackalone had suggested the Senate would “pull a fast one” and prematurely call for a vote at the hearing. - > Attica witness admits lying by Sherrie Brown Spectrum Staff Writer Former Attica inmate Leland Spear testified last week that he did not identify Dacajewiah (John Hill) as the man who hit prison guard William Quinn with a “2 by 4” wooden board until 28 months SALE!

Dr. Connelly said the new system “would not affect students already involved in degree programs,” hoping that “it would only apply to incoming freshmen. “If that isn’t how it is, I certainly won’t vote for it,” he said. As an alternative, Mr. Jackalone described the resolution drawn up by SA when the Senate committee began its investigation. It stated that a change in the present system would create a “dangerously inflexible and rigid system” of academic policy, force an increased demand for undergraduate courses to crisis proportions, place further stress on already overloaded facilities, and create scheduling and advisement problems for all undergraduate students.” i Ah SA alternative proposal recommends that faculty-student committees be established within each department to determine the educational goals, course offerings and credit distribution for that department under a four-course system. Good attendance Discussing Mr. Jackalone’s accusations, Executive Vice President Albert Somit said, “Neither I nor Dr. Ketter would comment on such a remark unless it was directed to us personally or we had seen it in print.” A member of the Student Assembly who attended the rally encouraged Mr. Jackalone, as “the drtfinfe forcd behind SA*$” to urge the members of the Assembly, which is “the voice of the student body,” to attend yesterday’s meeting.

Fate of the Prudential Bldg, speaks for all city landmarks Editor’s Note: the following is the first of a two-part series on efforts to save the historic Prudential Building in downtown Buffalo from demolition. by Ilene Dube Feature Editor Those who are fighting to save the Prudential Building are attempting to establish an ordinance that will prevent the demolition of any historical landmark in the city. “Buffalo is one of the few communities of its size in the country which has no existing mechanism to protect the community from capricious wreckage of important buildings by economic interests,” said John D. Randall, architectual associate in the Office of Facilities Planning. Mr. Randall is meeting this morning with Common Council President Delmar Mitchell to discuss the proposed ordinance* Two councilmen and two legislators are expected to submit resolutions supporting it. The council will also come up with preliminary figures on the cost of renovating and rehabilitating. Mr. Randall said this might cover cleaning, window repair, lobby restoration (including the removal of the newly-added black tile which covers the old mosaic and stained glass), upgrading the finishing,fixing the damages from the fire on the terra cotta and on minor parts of the facde, paint removal from the bronze stair rails and removing miscellaneous patchwork from the arch details. Electrical, heating and mechanical repairs must also be made. Quite a bill Mr. Randall estimated that the restoration will cost over one The 'udential ng on Chui ch ai irl Stn Photos by Hank Forratt million dollars. “This is restoration of over 100,000 square feet,” he explained. Mr. Randall blames the former owner, the Buffalo Holding Corporation, for the building’s downfall. They failed to maintain and upgrade electrical and heating faciltities and were responsible for covering over the building’s original decorations. Worst of all, the building started losing money after a fire last year badly damaged three floors. Only 40 to 45 percent of the available space was rented, compared to 95 percent in newer structures like M&T Plaza and the Ellicott Building. “It was not rented because it was not competitive,” Mr. Randall explained. “The building has deteriorated from age, and the former owners didn’t improve it. Companies were unwilling to rent Iron grill work on the elevator doors. because of the shabby interior,” he continued. But, on the other hand, “if renovated, it would be a prestige building, and command as much rent as the others,” Mr. Randall believes. Moving away In 1968, the Telephone Company, which used many of the floors, moved into its own building. In 1973, the State University at Buffalo Law School moved out of its three and a half floors into its current facility at the North Campus. Now, mostly small businesses remain a small publisher, a rug cleaner and others. Last September, things got so bad that the Buffalo Holding Corporation had to give up possession of the property and the United Founders Life Insurance Company assumed custody until it could be sold. With the building for sale, some observers fear that buyers will want to demolish it as a tax loss device. It if is knocked down, and a parking lot put up, it will genereate more revenue than the current structure without even putting up a capital investment. Those working to maintain the historical structure are trying to get the state or the county to buy it. The Victorian Society in America, encouraging its preservation, had urged former Governor Malcolm Wilson to acquire the building for the state for office space. Also rallying for its preservation are The Landmark — Mosaic frieze in the lobby. Society of the Niagara Frontier, the staff of the Albright Knox Art Gallery, the Buffalo Western New York (WNY) Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the Western New York Landmark Society, the Burchfield Center, the WNY Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians, Dean Harold Cohen of the School of Architecture and Environmental Design, and the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Soceity. Credit where due In 1973, the National Register of significant buildings added the Prudential building to its list, giving *it access to federal funding programs. It is expected that the National Historical Park Service will soon name the Prudential building a national historical landmark, which will allow up to 70 percent of facade restoration to be paid by the federal government. Supporters are awaiting the of a $10,000 feasibility study that was proposed by Mr, Randall. This study will attempt to- discover how sound an operation the restoration will be, how much it would cost, what kinds of renovation must be done, and how appropriate it would be for government use. The proposal is currently being blocked in Albany, where Governor Hugh Carey issued an executive order that limits the signing of new consulting contracts. acceptance —continual on paga 6— Wednesday, 5 March 1975 The Spectrum Page five . . �New plans at Buffalo theaters Prudential... —continued from page 5— Not so foolish Fear of the building’s imminent destruction is justified, considering what the city did to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Larkin Soap Company building. After numerous attempts to save it failed, the building on Seneca Street was razed in 1950. Sullivan’s buildings in Chicago, the honie of his firm with partner Dankmar Adler, have been torn down all over the place. The Wainwright Building, still standing in St. Louis, owes its continued existence to Mr. Randall, who appealed to the government and private organizations to save one of the most significant buildings in the history of American skyscrapers. The Wainwright Building was the fist one built by the Alder and Sullivan firm, while the Prudential was their last work. The two buildings are almost idential, but close inspection reveals how Sullivan’s style became more sophisticated through the years. It has been said that Adler was the engineer of the firm, and Sullivan the architect.

If Louis Sullivan were here today, he would probably be abhorred by an attempt to preserve his buildings as an aesthetic edifice. But if the state can make utilitarian use of the building design under the belief that “function follows form,” he would be as satisfied as any architect can be.

In the 1800's a poor priest met a boy of the streets. At that time there were thousands of such boys in Turin ... hungry, homeless and without hope. But what could one priest do? Without money. Without support. Without even a building to house them. But Father John Bosco did make a difference. He founded the first community that was dedicated primarily to youth. With a program of play, learn and pray he brought the boys from the streets back to God and gave them a means of earning their living. From such humble beginnings a movement began that a movement that has touched now reaches around the world the children of the lives of millions of youngsters St. John Bosco. Today over 22,000 Saleslans carry on his work in 73 countries. A family of community-minded men who help to build a better world by preparing young boys to be good citizens for both God and country.

If the state were to acquire the building and assume the responsibility for restoration, it would cost less than the state now spends leasing space in other downtown office buildings. The Prudential contains 90,000 square feet of usable office space, which can benefit the state by enabling it to house related offices in one building. There is no question as to the bidding's adaptability for use. If it were destroyed, the estimated cost of building a new facility of the same capacity would run around 6 million, according to Mr. Randall. This is three times the top estimate of renovating a contemporary building of the M&T Plaza type. “We no longer have the capacity to produce the ornament at any price,” said Mr. Randall. | 9 - & *W** Don’t let Albany cut the SUNY Budget!!!

Childhood education discussed by Jody Gerard Staff Writer Spectrum The psychologist asked the young child whether it was possible to be both an American and a Protejstant at the same time. “No,” the child replied. “Only if you move.” This example of “Child Development and Education” was cited Saturday by David Elkind, a renowned Piagetian psychologist from the University of Rochester, before an attentive audience in Norton Hall. The lecture was presented by the Educational Psychology and Development Psychology Graduate Student Association. In learning, “We talk a great deal about taking things in,” Dr. Elkind noted. However, what Piaget addresses himself to is “externalization.” It is by such a process, Piaget says, that “the mind creates reality,” according to Dr. Elkind. When interacting with a new environment, we make mental constructions and often times become unaware of our part in this process. “Healthy” Dr. Elkind referred to the process of externalization as a generally “healthy one,” except when it comes to teaching children anything. “What is, for the adult, ‘out there’, is not ‘out there’ for the child,” he said. Stressing the “complex constructive mechanism” by which adults conceptually differ from children, Dr. Elkind said that in teaching children, we often “give them the words and ideas, but not the opportunity to re-present it. We give children the language but not the concepts, or the concepts and not the language." Dr. Elkind went on to explain that a discrepancy often exists between language and concept, and that the child must construct “meanings.” He asserted that children need “things to think about, to touch and squeeze.” The stress which traditional education puts upon books and words is “far removed from the concrete experience” without which words cannot be tied together, he said. Elaboring on the concept of “re-presentation,” Dr. Elkind explained that it is a “kind of assimilation, of making things your own.” He then turned to the topic of teaching children how to read and its problems. “Letters are very complex constructions,” he said, “when we try to push reading too early, we often run into difficulty.” In France, for instance, where reading is introduced at age five, there have been numerous cases of early reading problems. Children begin to read at age six and a half. Sweden, however, has had a significantly, lesser degree of reading problems. Speaking about the dilemma of improvement in modern education. Dr. Elkind noted that “millions of dollars are being spent trying to break down the learning hierarchy by people who are sitting in chairs thinking about the hierarchy; and it is nonsense. If you want to leam about the learning hierarchy, look at children!” “One of the real values of Piaget is that he has given us the tools of analysis; of ways of looking and understanding the school curriculum and the personal curriculum,” he added. Artistic tasks Shifting his emphasis to the role of aesthetics in learning, Dr. Elkind defined beauty as being “in a way, ‘appropriate meaning’, the fit between the re-presentation and the thought. When the child finds the right word to fit the thought, the better the fit, and the more aesthetically pleasing,” Dr. Elkind said that in modern education children are given tasks that are far beyond their capabilities. They thus become frustrated to the extent that the discrepancy between expectation and ability is so great that pursuits are often given up. If children work at artistic tasks which are at their own levels, “they can do some very beautiful things,” he declared. Additionally, when children are finally able to re-present what they understand, that’s an aesthetic experience.” Play, for instance, is often a demonstration of mastery; when the child masters a skill, he or she begins to play with it, constructing variations. Ultimately, “There is no education without work, play and aesthetic experience,” Dr. Elkind stressed And when you come right down to it, how much of all of us is, in this learning respect, still and forever children?

The proposal calls for a federally-subsidized private corporation, the Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail), to assume operations of those lines deemed capable of operating at a profit.

The other, the Chessie System, was requested to take over the Reading Railroad lines from Philadelphia and Allentown to Harrisburg. Both balked at the plan and expressed doubts that the non-profitable lines could be made to operate in the black. The threatened New York routes could be salvaged, however, if the state is willing to underwrite 30 percent of their upgrading and operation costs. The remainder would be picked up by the federal government. The funds provided the $250 million Rail by Preservation Bond Issue voted last November may be used to preserve several of these lower density lines.

The Interstate Commerce Commission will hold hearings to gather feedback from the areas faced with loss, or drastic curtailment of services, and a final plan will be submitted to Congress for approval at the end of July. Wednesday, 5 March 1975 The Spectrum . . Page seven �Edtfo The Ziegler affair their recent victory in the William Kunstler—Ronald Reagan controversy, certain factions of the Student Assembly now seem determined to prevent Ronald Ziegler from speaking here as well. In letters that appear in today's issue of The Spectrum, they claim that $2500 is too high a price to pay someone who played a key v role in misleading the American public during the Watergate scandals. Speakers' Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow has responded to these charges by asserting that Mr. Ziegler's intimate association with the sordid affair will enable him to explore the Watergate episode from a unique perspective. Buoyed by While there are sound philosophical arguments on both sides, the issue here is not freedom of speech, but whether it is right for the Assembly to interfere once a contract of this kind has been signed, or after the fact. Most observers by this time probably realize that a speakers' program limited by the tastes and imagination of one person is inherently unsound. As we noted during the Kunstler episode, a broad-based committee should ideally by formed to select speakers so there will be more diverse input. But for the immediate present, Mr. Morrow has used the authority vested in him by Student Association to sign a contract with Mr. Ziegler's agent, stating that Mr. Ziegler will speak here next March 18th. Calling him to question after he signed a contract within current guidelines will not serve any purpose but to undermine SA's credibility when it attempts to line up future speakers. Opponents of the Ziegler appearance would be far better off if they spent their time drafting proposals that will open up the speaker selection process for next year, rather than superficially flexing their muscles every time they get emotionally aroused, thereby treating the effect instead of the cause. If they are so morally repelled by the fact that Ziegler is using one of the ugliest episodes in American history to increase his personal wealth, they are perfectly entitled to picket his appearance or confront him verbally. We hope that the Student Assembly will have the good sense to understand the distinction between stop-gap, quack remedies and carefully-developed, tong range solutions, and not try to force a cancellation of Mr. Ziegler's appearance at today's meeting.

Wolf time Department of English Even if it were possible for a majority of the faculty to agree upon a common course and style of study, it would not be practically or economically possible in these times for a university the size of SUNY at Buffalo to set up an across-the-board curriculum. It is important for us, nonetheless, to have an imagined idea of intellectual coherence and value if we are to serve our students and make a special contribution to higher education in America. ** Is there anything we can do? A committee in each department should be asked to arrive at a concept of general education: with the proviso that the field in question justify its proposed program in terms both of the University as and the its character, its resources a whole dominant issues of contemporary and global culture. Departmental proposals would be submitted to a University-wide Committee of Basic Education. The Committee of Basic Education would be charged with initiating its own ideas and evaluating the varied departmental proposals. If departmental drafts were limited to 1500 words and honed to specific, pointed and enumerated recommendations, the Committee’s sifting and synthesis need not get out of hand. (B) The Committee of Basic Education would then make a strong, comprehensive report to the -if Faculty-Senate. If the report gained approval with the added blessings o f the only in principle President, we could say: here is a preamble for our university; let each department enact it serious by bringing themselves into a measure of real harmony with the proposed, general program. (C) A special two-year School of Basic Education should be set up (with fifty students and ten faculty in its first year; fifty students and ten faculty more in the second) to implement specifically and to refine the ideas of the Committee of Basic Education. Thi? School of Basic Education would have the task of educating one hundred students each year in three areas of study (twelve hours per semester) and of serving as a model for the whole community. Wherever possible, the University should (D) compile an archive of video, audio and film material that could be used in the School. It is now possible electronically “to make the best that has been thought and known in the world current everywhere.” It is now possible, in many areas, to humanize knowledge, “to make it efficient outside the clique of the cultivated and learned,yet still remaining the best knowledge and thought of the (A) - - - - (E) The Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) should be reformed with academic and bureaucratic functions separated. Three academic administrators drawn from the existing divisions of Humanities, Science and Technology and Social Sciences, would be able to encourage departments to for non-majors of such compelling offer courses interest that distribution requirements would be - - sought after. These administrators would encourage faculties to hire generalists (or to find them on location at U.B.) to teach these courses; literature and the history of science; technology and ethics; ethics and law. The University should initiate an ongoing (F) Conference of the Future. Distinguished representatives from the disciplines would address themselves in lecture or colloquia to the future of their fields in the light of the University as a whole Findings in one area often become metaphors for another: uncertainty from physics to literature; ritual behavior from ethology to theater; “systems analysis” from cybernetics to group psychology. When these applications of metaphor from one field to another become imbedded habits of thinking, we will be on the verge of building a University without walls. This University should devote itself to (G) providing intensive and collective analysis of one context of social concern: race, poverty, aging, mental health, mass media and society. If the University can harness its diverse resources to provide a definitive understanding of any socially disquieting phenomenon, it will make a contribution to problem-solving and serve the polity. (H) The University should encourage the City of Buffalo to enrich our cultural lives. Couldn’t there be an integrated arts and science center here? Anyone trying to propose a curriculum must keep four questions in mind: (1) Will the proposed curriculum reclaim humanistic ground? (2) Will it apply equally to students as a whole? (3) Will the curriculum bear up over the inevitable generational, historical and technological shifts of temper and power that affect all societies? (4) Is the new curriculum sufficiently innovative to justify disrupting the old? A student who enters U.B. in 1985 will live well into the 21st Century. Can this student master a set of intellectual tools that will hold up for the passage into the future? Is there a Basic Education that will stay basic?

While waiting I combed my hair and wished somebody would hurry up. Then I saw something in the mirror that 1 could not understand. I thought it must be a poor reflection so to verify it I turned and looked. I counted five stalls and six pairs of legs with slacks down. I decided to start using another bathroom and left the building. I do not know if it was two men or two women or one man and one woman in that stall or what they were doing.

Mr. Morrow’s letter defending his decision to Ronald Ziegler to this campus misses some very important points. Mr. Morrow clouds the issue of whether or not we ought to pay Mr. Ziegler to take the podium at this Univeristy by discussing the First Amendment. What does the First Amendment have to do with Mr. Morrow’s decision to bring Nixon’s cohort here at the expense of student funds? The Speaker’s Bureau Chairman also claims that the “decision to extend Mr. Ziegler an invitation was based on the fact that he represents a portion of American history.” The same absurd criteria can be used to justify the payment of American Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen, and other undesirables to come to this campus to speak. Mr. Morrow apparently has no qualms about wrapping himself in an American flag to defend his questionable actions. If Mr. Morrow is genuinely concerned with enlightening UB students with respect to the Watergate affair, he would do well to take note of the fact that many journalists, and a number of historians, have already authored books on Nixon and Watergate. Might not it be better to invite an analyst of this scandal, rather than inviting a participant in it? Must Mr. Morrow continue to bring speakers to this University who are utterly void of educational value, solely because they will draw a crowd? bring Robert Cohen Cancel Ziegler To the Editor. In the March 3, 1975 issue of The Spectrum Stanley Morrow wrote a letter stating that Ron Ziegler should be heard because “he represents a portion of American History, albeit negative, which deserves exposure and public recognition. Ron Ziegler does not have a negative point of view, It is a criminal point of view. He was part of an administration that was so corrupt, distrustful and murderous, that it was forced to resign. If it were not for a presidential pardon, it is almost sure that Mr. Nixon and his whole group would be behind bars along with the rest of the criminals in the country. Let us not forget that Mr. Ziegler was part of this. We do not allow convicted criminals to walk the streets or pay them to speak, so how can we pay a man to speak here when the only reason he is not behind bars is because his “Boss” made a deal with , President Ford. Mr. Morrow compared Ziegler with people such as Jane Fonda, William Kunstler, Lester Maddox, James Buckley, etc. These people are not criminals, so I do not see the comparison. We should not pay a man to speak about his role in criminal activities. I do not believe he has a place among moral and rightful men and therefore should be cancelled. Greg Brown “If You Don’t Bail It Out, You’ll Be To Blame For Letting It Go Down” TRB from Washington March 4, 1975 Washington is an enthralling show at any time, and never more so than now when the gathering recession gives actors heady new lines to speak and nobody can guess the outcome. Let’s review the story-line so far, before specially noting three or four members of the all-star cast. The recession, far and away the worst since the 30’s is now heading toward a “depression” label if certain arbitrary economic standards are met — 10 percent unemployment, and the decline continuing through 1975. There is no public panic so far, just a quiet, continued slide, and the remarkable thing is the lack of clamor and sense of urgency, although the economy is now operating at $175 billion (count’em) below normal prosperity levels of production. (Paradox; to curb inflation you need production; and to get production, you must end recession.) A year ago (March, 1974) some economists (we recall Arthur Okun of Brookings was one) and some liberal politicians mildly proposed tax cuts to head off a possible slump. They were jeered at and waved aside. The Watergate melodrama was the big show in Washington then, of course. When Mr. Ford came in, he thought a tax increase was maybe the right remedy. Since then he has made his 179-degree turn (he said he wouldn’t turn 180 degrees). But there is one unusual thing to be said for Mr. Ford; he has been forthright in presenting the facts, though I am not certain that even now he and the conservative advisers around him understand their social implications. Heavy unemployment for three years, unemployment 25 percent, black teen-age teen-age unemployment 40 percent. How many people have considered that America may have a “long, hot summer” in 1975? That was the kind of thing that, in the 30’s, dotted the nation with Townsend Clubs ($200 a month for everyone over 60); brought up Huey P. Long (minimum $2000 “everyman a annual income for all King”), and forked tongued rabble-rouser Father Coughlin, with 80,000 letters a week at his peak capitalists, the Jews, denouncing “godless Communists, international bankers and — — plutocrats.” Reflecting on the way anger and misery always produce political prophets, we went into a hotel press conference here last week and saw George Wallace in a wheelchair, paralyzed from hips down (rather like FDR) and fairly rubbing his hands over the prospect. He’s one of the actors to watch in the big show here. If ever a man was created to ride the crest of prejudice, bias and discontent, Wallace was. Don’t underestimate him; I’d not like being the man debating him. He can flick off skin with a twisted smile and a hillbilly retort. He has all but made up his mind to run, and, though we don’t think he’ll be on any ticket but his own, he can exert a gravitational pull that might distort the whole galaxy. Wallace’s personal doctors were on hand to attest to his physical recovery, but they said his hearing nothing about another ailment which makes reporters have to shout questions in a noisy room. Wallace rubbed his hands over his putative issues: law and order, the Boston bus controversy, bureaucrats insulting the “peoples’ — — religion” over West Virginia textbooks, above all exultation at the possibility of calling for force to keep order against mobs of those you-k/iow-who seeking food or, contrariwise, voicing the anger of dispossessed blue collar workers. Wallace is waiting in the wings. So let’s look now at just the opposite category in the recession drama: typecast Rep. A1 Ullmann, Democrat of Oregon. He’s beginning to make a name for himself as the new chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. We guess he’s going to be pretty well known before the proposed two-weeks’ hearings on energy and taxes are over. It looks to us as though man and role had come together in Ullman, an effective figure preparing a congressional counter-program to the President’s in less time than anybody could have believed. He was elected to Congress in November, 1956, and is reasonably young for a committee chairman 61 next week. He is self-confident, middle-road, level-voiced and is making his committee jump through hoops aided by the constant presidential complaint; why hasn’t it acted faster? (It is acting faster than anybody here can ever remember before, short of war.) Ullman has plain, strong features, looks like a young Borah (if anybody remembers Borah and is representative of the new congressional leadership emerging in the post-Watergate, mid-recession drama). Critical verdict: Could be one of the most importailt and impressive figures in Washington. Just for old times sake and to show how varied the cast here is, let’s take a look at Sen. Walter Fritz Mondale of Minnesota. At 46 he’s the Democrat who quietly said after spending $100,000 in 30 states, “I do not have the overwhelming desire to be President which is essential for the kind of campaign that is required.” Exist Fritz. So what happened to him? Why, calm and unperturbed, he has a role in the recession drama, too, only a different kind. On December 9, 1971, Richard Nixon vetoed a $2 billion child development and day-care program that had overwhelmingly passed both House and Senate, it lacked seven votes to override the veto in the Senate. It would have done enormous good in today’s recession. Mondale, Rep. Brademas (D., Ind.) and others are trying to enact a new bill ($1.85 billion over three years). It would make America a little better for the unfortunate. Maybe Mr. Ford would veto it. Mondale is typecast, too, for work like that, rather than running for president. — There are a lot of other men like him, too, in Congress. Funny how hard it is for them to get anything passed! “Why is the richest, best educated, most technically advanced nation in the world unable to eliminate poverty, keep babies from dying, teach its children to read, or get the traffic moving?” asked economist Alice Rivlin, in simple wonderment. One answer is that Washington is filled with veto power, surrounded by representatives of special interests. America has a disgraceful rate of infant mortality (higher than 13 other nations). Forty percent of our young children are not fully immunized against childhood diseases. Only one of three (AFDC) Aid For Dependent Children) kids who need eyeglasses get them. At least 10 million children receive no health care at all. Forth-three percent of all mothers worked outside the home in 1971 (maybe more now, trying to keep families together. For 27 million children with working mothers there are only about one million licensed day-care slots in the country. The United States is behind most other nations in this. Fritz Mondale, that very decent man, is trying to do something about it. We thought you’d like to know. Open letter when it comes to lavishing student fee money on the An Open Letter to Students. March 18, Ronald Ziegler will be speaking on our campus in Clark Hall for the extravagant fee of $2500. We feel that this is a terrible wrong! It is not our belief that Mr. Ziegler should be denied his right of free speech, but at the sum of $2500 it isn’t very free. As students, we are strongly opposed to Mr. Ziegler’s paid appearance. The idea that our money is going to reward a man who was so influential in one of the greatest crimes against our nation and continually deceived the people of this country, truly angers us, as we know it angers many others at this University. In the February 24 edition of the Buffalo Evening News we are called “such notorius suckers On Tuesday, most faddish of currently controversial speakers.” To show that we are not all suckers at this school, we are attempting to organize an action to demonstrate our disapproval with this situation and are urging you to attend. We will be meeting this Wednesday, March 5, at 4:30 in Norton 334 to decide on what course of action we should take. We strongly urge you to attend so that we can decide together (unlike many of the decisions in student government) how we should respond to this unfortunate, but preventable, situation.

Originally a small group of men whose main purpose was to enforce University curfew regulations, this group has grown both in size and responsibility. As a group, they lobbied for and received permission to arm certain members of the force. With the rapid growth of the University came a second force of undercover plainclothesmen. security men: Together, these two forces have attempted to assert as themselves a viable law enforcement agency, comparable to those of the Buffalo Police Department and the Erie County Sheriffs Office. In the process, they began to utilize tactics of these extra-university forces, i.e., undercover agents photographing groups of students congregating for potentially political activity. The American Heritage Dictionary defines security as, “Anything that gives or assures safety.” This definition must apply to the Campus Security Force. In expanding their practices, the Security force of this University has overstepped the its purpose, those being the of a safe and secure environment conducive to the educational purpose of this of limitations maintenance University. feedback Together these instances point to a subtle, but definite attempt by Campus Security to increase its strength over the University community. The tables are indeed turning. Originally designed to protect this community, the Security now appears as a demon amongst us. Today, males are selectively being asked for identification and being warned “never to return” to certain areas of the cmapus. Tomorrow promises more widespread harrassment and ignorance of the needs of this community. It is time for a change of present procedure. At present, the only check on the activities of Campus Security remains within the force itself and in the office of the University President, We propose a Civilian Review Board along the lines of those utilized in a great many cities.

This concept is, of course, not a be-all and end-all solution to this quickly growing problem. Yet we hope that this will provide a starting place for a dialog that has long been absent and is desparately needed if the benign environment of this University is to continue. Slowly the rights of this community are being suppressed by its security force. What appears as isolated and sometimes irrelevant instances of harrassment of a few can possibly become the suppression of all. If we are to avoid this, we must act now. If you do feel that your rights have been violated, I would like to know about it. Please notify me in 340 Norton Hall, 831-5275. This is an issue that involves everyone. We welcome your input and more importantly . . . your support. , During the recent months, this University has become subject to increased harrassment by this enforcement agency. The ever-expanding law harrassment of males in the basement of Harriman is a good indication of the priorities this agency now sets for the protection of this university community. Selectively stopping and demanding identification of male students in search of gay men carrying on “overt illegal sexual acts,” is at the least a blatant violation of their constitutional rights. A “hands off’ policy by Security related to the use of marijuana on campus has seen in recent months a number of drug-related arrests by both Security and extra-university law agencies.

Some purses contained large sums of money, including cashed paychecks. The girl originally gave Campus Security a false name and date of birth, and was subsequently arrested as a juvenile. Officers Glenn Gardner and Chester Menkciena made the arrest at a Ridge Lea bus stop after one robbery victim gave a description of the girl. released in the custody of her aunt, the aunt testified that the girl was under 16. Subsequent investigation revealed that she was not a juvenile and a warrant was issued for her re-arrest. Accomplices? Additional investigation revealed that soon after the girl was released, she was arrested by Cornell University police in Ithaca, New York, on charges of grand larceny. She is presently in Tompkins County Jail in lieu of $2,500 bail. Campus Security has forwarded its warrant to the Sheriffs Department, in order to detain her for future action. Other charges are believed to be pending by Buffalo City Police. The girl told Security that she was threatened with bodily harm by an 18-year-old woman and a man she claimed was a pimp if she didn’t cooperate. She added that the woman took the money from her, then gave her a small amount of it. Security believes these people may be involved, but nothing can be proved at present. Although the girl was Each payday, the girl took wallets and credit cards from the purposes of employees working at the Main Street and Ridge Lea campuses.

Some good news and some bad news — (CPS) - With visions of income tax rebates dancing in many an inflation-weary head, more and more people are becoming excited about Congress’ new tax program. The tax plan currendy before the House provides for a rebate of about 10% of taxes due on 1974 income. The rebates would not go above $200, nor in most cases below $100. If you paid less than $100 you’ll receive back all you paid, but no more. But first, the bad news. The rebates, if they’re enacted into law, probably won’t be mailed to you until late spring or early summer. And second, more bad news The science of moving things or how to get from here to there You have to file your tax return by April 15th, compute your taxes as though there were flo rebate and pay according to printed tax tables accompanying your tax form. It must be emphasized that this plan is still nothing but a plan. But while the exact figures may vary, some form of rebate seems inevitable. File form To receive your rebate, all you have to do is file your 1974 income tax form. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will compute and automatically send you your rebate based on your return. Many students, though, are due refunds that are independent of any rebate plans. Students often don’t earn enough to be liable for taxes, yet have taxes withheld by employers anyway. By filing a tax return, you will get back your money. Legally, you are required to file a return if you have an income of $2050 or if you made $750 in interest, dividends or trust income outside of wages. Married students must file together if they made That’s right!

Speed is often, but not always the Performance—in spite of . $2800. . - business oriented areas. HOW TO GET FROM THERE TO HERE! See the Grumman representatives when they come to campus. Nowadays, almost everything is taxable income. Whether you’ve collected a bundle on a quiz show, made a killing at the gambling tables, won a poetry prize or served on a jury, the law says you have to report it. Of more importance to students is scholarship money. If you’re not required to do anything but go to school to earn the scholarship, the money is not taxable. Work If, however, you perform “work” whether it’s grading papers, manning a library desk or guarding dirty towels in a locker room the scholarship is considered “wages” and must be reported accordingly. If in doubt here, check with your financial aid office for the terms of your scholarship. Tax forms are (believe it or not) relatively easy to fill out and can be completed by most people in under an hour. If you’re confused or have complicated deductions, however, don’t go to a tax preparation service. Save yourself some money and call the IRS. They’ve set up toll-free numbers all across the country plus walk-in information centers in most major cities. Finally, remember to file as soon as possible, particularly if you have a refund coming. If you’ve delayed because you haven’t received a W-v2 form from your employers, contact them immediately. It’s long overdue. - - By filing early you’ll eliminate the possibility of interest and penalty payments on taxes owed and filed after April 15th. And by filing early, you.get on that list for those rebates sooner. Wednesday, 5 March 1975 The Spectrum .

Richard Baumgarten is a 1970graduate of the State University at Buffalo, and a former Sports Editor of both The Spectrum and Ethos. In this piece he comments on last week's passage of the athletic budget. His unique historical perspective on the subject clearly shows that the key issues control, credibility, priorities have changed little. Mr. Baumgarten who has done free lance writing since graduation and held down a variety of odd jobs plans to attend law school in the fall. Editor's - - Though the controversy over the recently passed Athletic Department budget appears to have slowly laded away, it seems a good point in time for students to grasp the impact of what really happened. Since 1967, when the State Board of Regents mandated that support of athletics fall upon student shoulders, the question of how many greenbacks the Athletic Department should get probably did more to polarize the student body than any.other political or economic issue on this campus. Referendums were fought, epithets were hurled and, generally speaking, students were subdivided into the pro-athletic and anti-athletic camps. The situation was partially resolved in the early I970's when the athletic budget became included in the total Student Association budget. But the biggest problem wasn't so much the economics involved, but the overwhelming communication and credibility gap between the departmental administration and leaders of the student body. It seemed as if a mutual distrust, which originated in the mid-60's and carried over into the early 70's, would forever keep the Athletic Department and student leaders from reaching an agreement. QUESTION: ANSWER: by Dan Greenbaum A genuine fear on the part of the administration Spectrum Staff Writer over loss of autonomy, coupled with student suspicions over questionable athletic policies, proved Gary Sailes and Dirk Dugan led too great a barrier to hurdle for over six years. the Scopacers to a 72-61 upset What makes the passage of the amended version victory over the Heads in the of proposal A, that guarantees the Athletic intramural basketball finals, Department $222,000 for 1975-6, so amazing is Sunday afternoon. Sailes was high scorer in the that, for the first time in a decade, a meeting of the minds between the Athletic Department game with 18 points and Dugan Administration and student leaders did, in fact, take was right behind with 17, but it was Dugan's 15 rebounds which place. The move was initiated by Director of Athletics enabled the Scopacers to take Dr. Harry Fritz, who contacted Student Association advantage of the surprisingly poor (SA) leaders and asked for an early passage of the shooting of their opponents. Greg Andzel, the key man in departmental budget. the Heads’ drive to the finals was It seemed the student leaders were as anxious as the Scopacers’ main concern. “We Dr. Fritz to resolve the situation, and so began the first serious give-and-take meetings between the knew we had to stop Andzel to win,” said Dugan, and that’s just parties in a very long lime. Months of negotiations were involved in which what they did, holding him to opponents and proponents of the athletic only 11 points and 7 rebounds. Offensively the Scopacers’ department were allowed to have their say. teamwork was the key. superb Although often loud, the meetings were handled Concise passing and an insistence tactfully, and the students were well represented by getting the good shots sharply Scott Salimando, Frank Jackalone and Howard on contrasted the outside gunning of Schapiro, diplomats of the highest degree. the Heads.

But besides Weber’s late baskets, the Heads didn’t have much to cheer about. Their offense was sluggish because of the absence of Andzel, who was sitting on bench with 4 personal fouls, all controversial calls. At the start of the second half, things were looking up for the Heads as they pulled within nine points. The Scopacers started to tire and looked disorganized, but the continued strong rebounding of Sailes and Dugan kept them on top. Weber hardly touched the ball in the second half though he was the only one consistently able to penetrate and score. One bright spot for the Heads in the second half was Rich Kobel, their high scorer with 15 points. However, he also ran into foul trouble, again on very questionable calls. With three minutes to go, the Heads were only trailing by nine points but were thwarted again as Wes Novak and Bob Flemming worked for good shots and froze the ball effectively.

Well, the major reason has been the Spectrum's refusal to look beyond its' so-called "journalistic pride" in order to print S.A. stories of interest to all students. Imagine! We've had to pay nearly $100 out of our own pockets so the truth would be published in our own student newspaper! So here's the truth! a complete list of our successes and failtures. MAJOR SUCCESSES: 1. Revised STUDENT ASSOCIATION by creating a New S.A. Constitution. 2. Increased student membership on FSA. 3. Instituted an S.A. Travel Agency. 4. Successfully lobbied against a plus-minus grading system. 5. ’Re-ordered athletic priorities and passed the earliest unified Athletic budget ever. 6. Revamped the format for S.C.A.T.E. 7. Ensured the opening of the Amherst Bubble. 8. Stopped the arming of Campus Security. 9. Fought to maintain the Four-Course load system. 10. Helped create a University Pharmacy and Post Office. 11. Maintained an S.A. Budget in the black. 12. Created the first major survey of Student Budget priorities. 13. Prepared the first draft of a Student Bill of Rights. 14. Established the S.A. Commuter Council. 15. Activated the Undergraduate Research Council providing more research opportunities. MAJOR FAILURES —was unable to create a Rat-Pub. —was unable to extricate Student Assembly year-long budget quagmire. —was unable to significantly increase student participation from in S.A. —was unable to improve public information to Students.

The sweep was overwhelming enough to pull in some Changes candidates in close races and make other races that had appeared close to informed political speculators somewhat less than serious contests. The results are as follows; President: Michele Smith, Changes, 1,182; Michael Levinson, Indian, 365; John Sullivan, Scope, 304; Steven Milligram, Rehibition/Student Government in Exile, 167; David Graham, Sunshine, 120; Peter Jarzyna, Free Beer, 55.

Delegates to SASU (Student Association of the State University): Frank Jackalone, 1,321; Janice Carver, 1,292; Melanie Burger, 1,285; Neil Seiden, 1,262 all Changes. - Numbers game The closest race was that for Treasurer, which Carol Block won by a slim 32 votes. Her victory was almost certainly the result of her party’s domination of the election. Of the contested races (the race for Academic Affairs Director had only one candidate on the ballot). Art Lalonde had the largest victory margin, downing his nearest competitor by 951 votes. The race for Vice President for Sub-Board I was perhaps the biggest surprise. Most observers had the race Bruce going to any of the three leading contenders Drew or James Smith. But Mr. Campbell, Presberg Campbell won by a comfortable 477 votes. Judith Young, who many figured was the Scope party’s best chance for a win, lost by the relatively narrow margin of 198 votes another victim of the ticket sweep. Outgoing Executive Vice President Scott Salimando addressed the waiting candidates before the results were announced, characterizing the recent election as “a typical election” full of backbiting, suspicion and bad will. He called upon all present to lay aside the bad will and “make amends with each other not only for yourselves, but for the benefit of SA.” He wished the winners good luck and urged them to “bring SA back to the people.” — — Stein urges non-profit nursing home system to prevent abuses by Richard Korman Campus Editor Assemblyman Andrew Stein (D., Manhattan) has called for a non-profit system of nursing home care in New York State, a moratorium on the construction of all new private nursing homes, inspections and audits of currently operated private facilities. Mr. Stein, who has spearheaded an investigation into reports of patient abuse and medicaide fraud in privately-owned nursing homes as head of the state’s Temporary Cost of Living Council, told a small gathering in Haas Lounge Thursday that the inferior operation of nursing homes has made “profit synonymous with pain. “Our elderly deserve institutions which seek to provide quality care, not . . . profit for unscrupulous real estate investors,” Mr. Stein said. Mr. Stein first called for an end to profit-making in nursing homes last week in the second of a series of staff reports to the other eight members of his commission. He said he would make public next week legislation designed to bring about major changes in the concept of nursing homes in the state. Loads of loopholes “Any reimbursement formula written by government can be broken by private interests,” Mr. Stein said Tuesday. Present Medicaid reimbursement codes have allowed nursing home operators to cheat the government out of millions of dollars through loopholes in the present law, investigators have determined. Mr. Stein reiterated his attacks on nursing home owner Bernard Bergman, the key figure in the investigation. He has accused Mr. Bergman, an ordained rabbi, of owning or having interests in scores of substandard nursing homes where patients lie in their own feces, develop large, infectious bedsores, become malnourished and dehydrated, and are either ignored or intimidated by nursing home staff. Mr. Bergman controls a vast nursing home cartel and has been “living off human misery,” Assemblyman Stein charged. At public hearings investigating nursing home abuses in New York City and before a special Senate subcommittee on nursing homes, Mr. Bergman maintained under oath that he owned only two nursing homes and had not defrauded the government in Medicaid reimbursements. ‘Good’ indictments “We need indictments not quick ones, good ones,” Mr. Stein told the students in Haas Lounge. He plans on turning over information amassed by his commission to - special nursing home prosecutor Charles Hynes who was appointed by Governor Hugh Carey in January. The State Health Department ruled Thursday that Mr. Bergman had over-inflated the costs of remodeling a nursing home he owns in Manhattan by nearly $2 million. The results of an audit have been forwarded to Mr. Hynes. The New York Times reported that the Department is also preparing a test of the legality of Mr. Bergman’s license to operate the home. Mr, Stein praised reporters who have joined him in investigating nursing home abuses. “The press had done a brilliant job,” he declared, lauding the work of New York Times investigative reporter John Hess, who, along with Village Voice writer Jack Newfield, have played a major role in exposing the abuses of the Bergman nursing home empire in New York. Mr. Bergman is suing Mr. Stein, Mr. Hess and a State Health Department official for what he feels is a campaign of slanderous accusations and untruths directed against him. Tailed first Although he generally agrees with a proposal by Morris Abrams, head of the special state commission created by Governor Carey to investigate nursing homes requiring payment of triple damages on any proven medicaid fraud, Mr. Stein believes that anyone who cheats medicare “should be put in jail first.” He repeatedly stressed that his investigations have been successful because he is not a member of the New York political establishment. While conceding that his future as a politician was probably damaged as a result of his investigations, he said this was not important when compared with the magnitude of the nursing home issue. “No one else in New York politics would have brought it (the abuses] out,” he said. The young assemblyman spoke briefly and then fielded questions from the audience. Although nursing homes have been front page news in New York City for weeks, several observers were unfamiliar with the exploits of the man Assembly Majority Leader Stanley Steingut called “a goddamn liar.” —Ratlnetz Andrew Stein Mr. Stein recounted the previous “extraordinary six months” of his life in which he discovered “horrible conditions” and “incredible fraud.” He found the corruption “so widespread, we knew it could not exist without powerful political influence.” Lone dissenter Mr. Stein, the only dissenter in an 87 to one vote approving Mr. Steingut as majority leader, has said that the Brooklyn Democrat asked him not to investigate Bergman controlled nursing homes on two different occasions. Mr. Steingut is a long-time friend of Mr. Bergman. Mr. Stein thought Mr. Steingut could be defeated, or at least given a good race in the next election “if you had a lot of local support. That whole Brooklyn scene is crooked,” he observed. He denied as “totally inaccurate” reports published in the Chicago Daily News last week, and picked up by the Buffalo Evening News that he was carrying out a political vendetta against Mr. Steingut and other Democrats on behalf of Vice President Nelson Rockefeller. Mr. Rockefeller, as governor, appointed Mr. Stein to his present position. 1 ~ Mr. Stein hinted he would soon reveal information about State Health Department involvement in nursing homes under the Rockefeller administration in New York. �Prisoner of conscience Mail stop order on a term paper firm The U.S. Postal (CPS) Service has acted to clamp down on at least one term paper manufacturer. Following investigations by postal inspectors and empowered by a U.S. Appeals Court decision, the Postal Service announced early this month that a “mail stop order” has been issued against Term Paper Library, Inc. of Washington, D.C. The effect of the order will be that all incoming and outgoing mail belonging to the company will be screened. Term papers ordered by students will not be permitted to be mailed, and letters requesting term papers will be returned to the sender. All mail will be opened by the company’s employees under Postal Service supervision. The Postal Service claimed that the firm “had knowingly cooperated in a misrepresentation scheme by selling research papers to students who would in turn represent these papers at school as - their own work for grading.” Postal Service attorney Thomas Ziebarth said the Postal Service Consumer Protection Office term paper the considered company guilty of cheating and misleading a third party university professors receiving its products from students who ordered them. Alan Pederson, owner of the company, which also advertises under the name of Professional Researchers, said he thinks the action is Postal Service unconstitutional. Despite the name of the firm and the fact that it is careful not to sell the same paper to more than one person in the same town, Pederson said his product is “research papers for research or reference only.” “I don’t have to make sure” the papers aren’t being passed off by students as their own work, Pederson protested. He said his firm would appeal the Postal Service decision. — — ’ Refusal to submit to search gets Martin Sostre convicted and the Attica Trial Office, both of which played active roles in the case. The chaplain of Clinton State Prison has denounced the beatings which Mr. Sostre suffered. In addition, church leaders within the Plattsburg community have lent their support and additional aid has come from around the country. The defense charged that Judge Feinberg has been consistently hostile to the case. Although Mr. Sostre had only ten days to prepare his case with co-counsels Dennis Cunningham and Liz Fink, the judge refused to delay the trial. The defense also introduced motions for the judge to disqualify himself on the grounds that he is prejudiced against Mr. Sostre. As to the actual charges, the defense asked for dismissal because of their ambiguity, and also contended that Mr. Sostre should not have been forced to submit to rectal searches unless a physicial was present. Every motion was denied. The defense also claimed that the pool of prospective jurors did not include Mr. Sostre’s peers, making a fair trial impossible. The pool excludes students at the State University College and people from the Air Force base in Plattsburg. This meant that most of the blacks in the city could not serve on a jury.

The conviction ended a three-week long trial over Mr. charge February Sostre’s refusal to submit to a rectal search on the grounds that they are unconstitutional and inhumane. He now faces possible life imprisonment. AMr. Sostre has suffered numerous beatings at the hands of prison guards as a result of this stance. He had also been kept in solitary confinement at Clinton State Prison for resisting the searches and not shaving off a quarter-inclf beard under his chin. After one such forcible search, Mr. Sostre was charged with assaulting the three officers who performed it. Mr. Sostre is presently being held in Watertown, N.Y. awaiting a hearing in Federal Court Tuesday on his suit challenging the rectal searches and his solitary Confinement. The conviction on all three counts came as a sharp blow to many of Mr. Sostre’s supporters who had anticipated a hung jury. Supporters protest was announced, a When the verdict demonstration broke out inside the courtroom. A Deja vu speech supporting Mr. Sostre was read amidst shouts The courtroom scene often resembled accounts of Mr. Sostre’s 1967 trial. The judge ruled any discussion of the political and social evils in America out of order. He also dismissed a prospective woman juror because she said she would vote according to her conscience, regardless of what the law said.

Furthermore, the judge severely limited defense questioning of the jurors’ racial attitudes and threatened Mr. Sostre with contempt of court when he referred to the trial as a “legal' lynching.” The same threat was made when lawyer Dennis Cunningham stated that Mr. Sostre is a “prisoner of conscience” whose case has been adopted by jury to Although Mr, Sostre faced extremely difficult odds, he had also won broad public support.

Easier registration IS proposed for students by Liz Deane Staff Writer Spectrum Legislation that would make it easier for people to register and vote has been drafted by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG). “Registration is the biggest impediment from voting,” said NYPIRG member Dennis Kaufman. In the 1972 election only 55 percent of the eligible voters voted, while in Canada the figure was 75 percent. The Average turnout is up to 90 percent in other Western democracies. “State-wide reform for all voters is needed,” Mr. Kaufman said. Registration laws greatly effect student voters, especially who live away those from home for college. The present interpretation of requires a student to prove his residency at college before he can vote there. This can by showing be accomplished the law financial independence, having a driver’s license, registered in the college’s location or by proving employment in that place. Campus address registration “They (voter officials) are prejudiced against a campus address,” Kaufman, although said Mr. campus for other a address is adequate purposes such as taxes or Social Security. Mr. Kaufman wants NYPIRG to change that. It doesn’t make sense to vote at home if a student has no real ties there and spends most of his time at school, he said. Those opposed to students voting at school claim that students are too transient. But studies have found that people aged 21-25 are more transient than students. The average American family moves once every five years and people who work fot large corporations such as IBM or Xerox move once every three years. None of these people, 'however, are asked to answer these questions or to prove their residency. In the United States, the complete burden of registration is put on the voter. In Canada, for example, employees of the board of elections go from house to to voters. register house Opponents of this method say that it would be too expensive in the U.S. although it costs the Canadian government only 69 cents a voter. New York State spends two to three dollars per voter to register at the place of election. Register by mail Mr. Kaufman indicated that the ideal method of registration would be by mail, but the current law requires registration in person to supposedly cut down on fraud. Fraud is probably not a large problem and could be handled the same way income taxes are, Mr. Kaufman suggested. Additionally, tine cut-backs Fi Passover Seders anyone who moves in New York State must reregister to vote. He also said the present complex registration form, which has 30 questions filled out by employees of the board of elections, could be cut by two-thirds to about ten questions. The only requirements for voting are residency over 30 days and the voter must be 18 years old. Residency may be checked by sending a non-forwarding postcard to the address given by the voter. No deal But the system would not work for students, since a student would not get the card while he is away at college. Personal checks are sometimes done by the police, but ‘Td like to see the police out said, of this,” Mr. Kaufman because “it scares people." Minnesota has started recently a mail registration system and NYPIRG is waiting to see the results of it. As another alternative, the election law may be present repealed, but that “just won't happen." Another reform being considered would change the burden of proof of residency from the student to the board of elections. No one has tried to change the law sooner because new voters add uncertainty to an election, Mr. Kaufman said, explaining that the incumbent would be put at a disadvantage removing not require registration at all. They usually have a 70 percent voter turnout with an insignificant any of fraud. New York is around 55 percent, about the same as the national average. Additionally, in some states in the deep south, turnout is as low as 35 percent. A state-wide computer system could check registration in all the counties by comparing names and security social numbers. Mr. Kaufman estimated it would cost about $1.5 million to set up. South Carolina and Delaware already have such systems. Mr. Kaufman feels that reforms will come soon. NYPIRG is presently trying to get more support. “The widespread problem with the legislators is that no one is pushing them,” he said. amount State’s proposed job eliminations by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor Governor Hugh Carey’s recent proposals for cutting the New York state budget could result in the “loss of 50 to 150 jobs” at the State University at Buffalo, charged George Boger, Chairperson of the Graduate Student Employees Union (GSEU) at an “anti-inflation rally” last Friday. “The burden of the economic crisis is being placed upon the working people of this country, and we are asked to ‘tighten our belts’ even further,” Mr. Boger said. The fact that extra sacrifices are being demanded during a period of growing unemployment,‘ increased taxes, rising prices and cutbacks in vital social services “reminds me of a recent cartoon 1 saw picturing a person biting a bullet which blew his head off,” Mr. Boger recalled. Fight cutbacks “We are not going to tolerate these cutbacks,” he stressed, “either for employed graduate students or any other group of University employees.” He then praised the initial efforts of the United impetus from the reform movement While many people blame poor election turnouts on voter apathy, Mr. Kaufman said, “I just don’t believe that apathy theory.” The hassles of registration cause the “apathy,” he indicated.

Students and University workers are recognizing their “common interests," since both want to see higher public education serve the needs of the people, “particularly in this period of growing uncertainly,” Mr. Boger said. Ron Uba, of the New York State United Teachers (NYSUT), an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers, urged all University workers to “unite to stop the deterioration of public education.” Mr. Uba said he had heard that some teachers at this University already met to discuss “who would be let go” if cuts hit their department. “These are members of the same union,” he declared, and they should be planning ways to unite with each other to protect everyone’s job. ‘Catalyst’ Historically, the employers have always provided the “catalyst” for union organization by The Spectrum is published Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

Second class postage paid at Buffalo, N.Y. ■ violating the interests or past rights of the workers, Mr. Uba maintained. In light of this, workers have found it to be in their interest to form unions, and when they worked collectively, they gained greater successes. Today, there is “fear” on the part of many individuals, explained Mr. Uba. “They want to see if thev are on the sheet to be cut, but there is no information. They will cut those who appear to offer the least resistance,” he surmised. All employees and their organizations should “take the offensive” to protect their own jobs, pointing out to the public the tremendous “waste in the state bureaucracy,” Mr. Uba suggested. This includes high salaries for “people who do nothing.” If the right priorities were set, “no state employees would have to be cut,” Mr. Uba said. Constantine Yeracaris, University delegate to the United University Professions, reiterated the need for “collective action” by all employees in the state system. No opposition Recalling a recent budgetary meeting between the state and administrators from various centers in the State University system. Dr. Yeracaris said that “not a single administrator spoke up to oppose these cuts.” Maintaining that education is one of the lowest priorities in Governor Carey’s budget, he accused administrators in the University system of “cowtowing to pressure.” “I would like to see our administration fight not only for no cuts (in the education budget 1, but ask for a higher budget,” Dr. Yeracaris said. David Adler, a graduate student employed in research at the Roswell Park Institute, and an organizer for the GSEU, explained that information was not available concerning graduate student jobs for the upcoming year, but said they had heard only 75 percent of current positions are secured. While the other “25 percent are uncertain” until April 1, Mr. Adler asserted that the union is unalterably “opposed to any cutbacks.” Recognized unit The GSEU, was formed last spring when cutbacks in employee graduate positions were in the making. Since then, an organizing conference was held in the summer, and a card authorization drive has been underway since the fall. The union plans to submit its petitions to the Public Employees Relations Board (PERB) this spring. An election will then be held, probably in the fall, for all employed graduate students on state lines, to determine if the majority desire the GSEU to be their legally recognized bargaining unit. Mr. Adler pointed out that, although pay scales for state employed graduate students were set at $3,000 in 1967, these students received an average of “$2,800 this year,” not counting further losses due to inflation. He assured the employed graduate students that the union was “going to bargain for higher wages, a cost of living clause, and a viable health plan .” Mr. Adler also said “this University has a commitment to affirmative action,” but has failed to hire an adequate number of minority and women personnel. These groups are under the greatest threat of job loss, and the Puerto Rican, black and Native American programs have already been informed of serious cutbacks. Additionally, “the Nursing School has already suffered [job] cutbacks,” explained Liz Kennedy, of the American Studies Department.

Imprisoned for over a year on Dawson Island near Antartica by the military Junta, Mr, Letelier was released last June amid widespread international outrage and intervention by Venezuelan President Carlos Perez. When Dr. Allende was overthrown in September 1973, Mr. Letelier was jailed with 34 other top officials in the Allende government. While no formal charges were brought against him or any of the other prisoners on Dawson Island, they were imprisoned simply because they were officials in the Allende govern ment. Mr. Letelier. 42 years old, has been a member of the Socialist Party of Chile since I960. He worked for the Inter-American Development Bank for 10 years and became the Chilean ambassador to the United States in November. Mr. Letelier remained in this position from then until June 1973 a very difficult period for U.S. Chilean relations The U S. government pressured Dr Allende to pay compensation for the nationalized U.S. copper mines in Chile by coordinating an economic boycott of Chile which cut off practically all trade between the two countries and made it very difficult for Chile to receive loans from either U.S or international banks. During this same period, the Watergate burglars practiced their break-in techniques at the Chilean embassy in Washington. D C. In lune l l>73, Mr. Letelier became Minister of Foreign Affairs and just a few weeks before the coup. Minister of Defense. In this capacity, he was officially in charge of the same generals who overthrew the Allende government that September. The generals had help from the U S. government when the CIA spent SI I million to "destabilize" to Allende government between Nov, '70 and Sept. '73, it was learned last year in Senate hearings. Mr Letelier remained on Dawson Island from Sept. '73 until June D>74, when international pressure forced the military Junta to transfer him and other top political prisoners to a prison in central Chile which had slightly better conditions. He lost 18 pounds while on Dawson Island, suffering from the hard labor and the bitter cold. Reports from the Chilean Resistance in Rome indicate that Mr. Letelier may have been tortured like many other political prisoners in Chile. In Nov. 1974, Mr. Letelier was finally released and flown to Venezuela after International pressure forced the Junta to release him. Mr. Letelier will be coming to Buffalo this Thursday and will speak in the Fillmore Room at 7:30 p.m. He jras decided to move to the United States, and is currently living in Washington where he is writing a book at the Institute of Policy Studies in Washington. Appearing with Mr. Letelier will be Edward Boorstein and Steve Volk. The former is the author of a well-known book in Cuba, entitled The Economic Transformation of Cuba, and worked in Cuba in the early 1960’s in the Ministry of the 1972, Mr. Economy under Che Guevara. In Boorstein went to Chile where he took a job in the Central Bank. He worked there until the coup, and managed to escape the repression of the military Junta by taking refuge in the Mexican Embassy. The Junta published his name in the press, requesting his arrest. Mr. Boorstein will speak about the economic policies of the Allende government and discuss the U.S.-led economic blockade against Chile. Steve Volk is a representative of the North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA), a U.S.-based research organization which regularly reports on Latin America. Mr. Volk lived in Chile in 1972 and 1973, and was there at the time of the coup. He will be discussing the intervention of the CIA in Chile. NACLA has done original research about the CIA and its activities in .Chile. All three speakers will participate in a discussion session after their talks. Admission to the conference is free, and is being sponsored by the American Studies Department, the Council on International and Studies, the Committee for Chilean Democracy/Committee for Democratic Action, a student group.

It has been almost two years since President Robert Ketter first voiced his concern for the allegedly harmful effects that the four course system has had on the University's requests for resources from State University Although administration. a Faculty-Senate central subcommittee strongly recommended in June 1973 that the four course load be retained, and the Senate Executive Committee reached the same conclusions the following Spring, Dr. Ketter has clung tightly to the issue, as if determined to secure the faculty's consensus for a viewpoint that is mostly his own. Indeed, the Executive Committee's THi WflOHTUFTiRS to bring the issue before the full Senate decision English is currently being filled by most likely resulted more from Dr. Ketter's preoccupation Thank god this week is over. Having sniffed, Butler Chair of Delany (no final e between the n and the Samuel R. one way own burbled from coughed, my from the Senate's and whhezed, and constant badgering than have neither seen nor heard of any skepticism. It is interesting how the Senate's first floor debate in six years on the four course load coincides with the beginning of Spring vacation and the changeover in student government administrations. The simplest way to avoid controversy is to in this explore an issue when the most vocal opposition is either absent or case SA and the student press disorganized. If this University were truly interested in having inclusive, rather than exclusive discussions, the Senate's debate could have been held last month or postponed until the end of Easter vacation. But as we already know too well, that is not the way a bureaucracy — - works. At tomorrow's meeting, the burden of proof will be on Dr. Ketter to show the Senate specific examples of how this University is suffering irreparable harm under the four course load. Assuming that he can make the four course system the scapegoat for the University’s budgetary problems, it will then be up to the Senate to be skeptical and to personally speak with investigate the matter itself people at the Bureau of the Budget and to contact other Universities that have a four course system and see if their budgets have been affected. Even if "reduced" faculty workloads are found to have shortchanged the University's request for more resources, the Senate must then ask whether the loss of resources is great enough to warrant reverting to a system that exaggerates the importance of time spent in the classroom, discriminates against students who must work to support their educations, and makes a faculty member's worth to the University directly proportional to the hours he punches in on a time clock. Because a switch to a closet five course system or any other "flexible" system of credit granting would set education here, back ten years, even the most apathetic students should get off their asses and attend today's rally in defense of the four course load at 3 p.m. in the Conference Theatre, and tomorrow's Faculty-Senate meeting at 2:30 in Diefendorf 148. — The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. Monday, 63 3 March 1975 Larry Kraftowitz Editor in-Chief Managing Editor Amy Dunkm - - Managing Editor Michael O'Neill Gerry McKeen Advertising Manager Neil Collins Business Manager Randi Schnur Campus Ronme Selk Asst.

Rumors of this column being submitted to the Guineas Book of Records are not true. It was considered but it became rapidly clear that there existed no categories that failed to incriminate me, the University or The Spectrum. So we dropped the idea and it rolled around the floor among the empty beer cans where it had come from for a while and then died a natural death. I would like to say that I made it through this birthday without being the slightest bit depressed about all the things that I should have accomplished by this time. I should really like to say that. How about saying instead that I made it through this birthday without being unduly depressed. Now if I could just get rid of the corner of head that wants to know why and how it is that I am noticing that 1 am not depressed, and why 1 am so interested in it, things would be really under control. At least that is what it says right here in my Mental Health Handbook that 1 got on the street for only $10 in a plain brown envelope. Of course the pictures they put in there to test your distraction index are awful, but I cut all of those out and flushed them down the toilet where they belonged.

Jay Boyar Arts beginning of last week until tonight, it is to be hoped, devoutly or otherwise, that the tide has turned and we, have seen the light at the bottom of the tissue box. The most typifying event of the week occurred while on the way into school one morning. I pulled up to a stop sign in my somewhat rusty VW and sat there waiting for it to change (the stop sign). It did not, strangely enough. After a while I realized this and drove on down the road, hoping that I did not mistake a Metro bus for a giant canary.

When he came to the train station he asked the attendant: “Sir, when comes the train to the great city of Washington, where 1 must go to present myself to our leader in his great White Castle?” “Wazzat, sonny?” the attendant said, for he was old and hard of hearing. “I said, sir,” repeated the young man, “when comes the train to the great city of Washington, where 1 must go to present myself to our leader in his great White Castle?” “1 heard you the first time, smartass,” the attendant said. “It’ll be here sometime between eleven and Thursday.” So the young man sat himself down and waited for the train to the great city of Washington. When Thursday came and went, he asked the attendant: “Sir, now it is past Thursday and I still don’t see the train to the great city of Washington, where 1 must go to . “I heard this already, . kid,” said the attendant, whose hearing had improved, but not his disposition. “The train ain’t coming.” “The train isn’t coming?” asked the young man in astonishment. "There an echo in here? If there is. it’s a smartass echo correcting my grammar. No, the train ain’t coming, kid.” Why isn't the train coming, sir?” asked the young man They cancelled the service, kid, so walk So the young man set out walking to the great city of Washington, where he would present himself to the leader in his great While Castle.

But I have no money, sir." the young man "" First, 1 would like to commend The Spectrum staff for the fine spread you printed on the candidates for SA office. Now I pose a simple question: Why can’t the same excellent coverage be given to the IRC elections? IRC has been criticized continuously by The Spectrum, and fair and extensive evaluations of the candidates would help elect to office some people with a bit more competence. By printing evaluations (and endorsements) of SA candidates, The Spectrum staff fulfills a responsibility to the student body at large Please don’t let the old "IKC-The Spectrum" feud stand in the way of your fulfillment of responsibility to the dorm population. Cover the IRC elections. said The David Brownstein a "dormie kindly gentleman in the large The gas station attendant was a reasonable wood cutting tools, kid. I’ll take them in payment.” “Isn’t that a great deal for gas?” he asked. “Twenty five gallons of high test. Kid, you man, though. “I like those should’ve bought a VW.” The young man gave the attendant woodcutting tools and they drove off. “What is a VW?” the young man asked “A small car that doesn’t use much gas “Why doesn’t everyone use a small car, then? It would save money and gas and we wouldn’t have to breathe such foul air.” “What are ya, some kinda pinko, kid? I’m not giving up this baby unless somebody makes the automakers stop making them.

The young man walked the dark, lonely streets of the great city of Washington, where he must present himself . . . but we’ve heard it all before. Eventually, he came to Pennsylvania Avenue, where the great White Castle in which our leader lived was located. He walked up to the gate of the White Castle. “Let’s see some ID, kid,” snarled a guard at the gate . “ID?” “Yeah, ID.” “But I am a young man, son of a humble woodcutter who comes to present himself to our leader in his great White Castle, for such is the custom in our land.” The guard grabbed him by the throat and dragged him into the White Castle, He lifted the receiver to the telephone and said; “Kid here says he’s the son of a humble woodcutter who’s come to present himself to our leader in the great White Castle.” There was a long wait. Finally the guard nodded his head and spoke. “You from the Wichita Woodcutters of the WFL?” The young man did not understand, but he nodded. they’re expecting you. See the “OK, vice-leader first.

HahieWesJbrt Monday, 3 March 1975 . The Spectrum . Page seven �Ziegler's right to be heard To the Editor. , 1974 an invitation was On December extended to former .presidential press secretary Ronald Ziegler by the Speakers Bureau of the Student Association to speak on the campus of the State University of New York at Buffalo. This invitation was accepted, has been confirmed and Mr. Ziegler has agreed to appear in Clark Hall on March 18, 1975. ’ Mr. Ziegler’s appearance on this campus is consistent with the policy of the Speaker’s Bureau in that we have constantly sought to bring to the students of this University programs that are diversified, informative and enjoyable. Mr. Ziegler will be speaking from the same podium which served Jane Fonda, Angela Davis, Lester Maddox, Bernadette Devlin, William Kunstler, James Buckley, William Ruekelshaus and Jacobs Javits to name but a few. The decision to extend Mr. Ziegler an invitation was based on the fact that he represents a portion of American history, albeit however negative, which deserves exposure and public recognition. Certainly Watergate has shown us the absolute necessity of openness and dialogue. The University, of all places in society, should tolerate and even invite controversy and the exploration of unpopular ideas. The First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees the right of all citizens to free speech. While his appearance here is certainly not free, it too is totally consistent with others on the college lecture tour. It should not be forgotten that similar arguments were made regarding the appropriateness of lecture fees when Jane Fonda and Angela Davis were scheduled to speak here. The argument has not changed, merely the perspective. We disagree with our colleagues at Boston University and Michigan State. Mr. Ziegler is speaking at this University because we believe he has a right to be heard. Because for a long while, he was part of a chapter in American history which will never be forgotten. The extent to which we, as students, and the University in general, see ourselves as intellectually honest individuals is the extent to which we allow ourselves access to all information and ideas. We do not expect Mr. Ziegler to change anyone’s minds; nor would we expect him to convert anybody to his pholosophy. We do demand that he be given a chance to express himself. I would like to make a few remarks and observations concerning your February 24 editorial, “A tragic verdict,” which I found quite distressing, not so much because I personally disagree with your analysis, but rather with the implications which underlie it. Namely, I find it quite offensive that you, as editor, see fit to attack the Catholic Church’s beliefs and motivations on the abortion question. I agree the Catholic Church’s political orientation on the subject is open to direct attack, but your evaluation of the Church’s dogma as “archaic,” displays a strong inherent intolerance toward the religious group itself, rather than mere opposition to its stand on this issue. Such religious bias is quite similar to racial bias, a concept The Spectrum so deeply abhors. Next, your upholding of “the law,” which is quite a change from past The Spectrum editorials. exposes a puzzling disregard for the value of the individual’s conscience. You seem to view the United States Supreme Court as the bastion of good and right, and disagreeing with “the law” because of religious beliefs is totally unacceptable. A quick glance at the Court’s history will show that “the law” is not always so sacred. Finally, as an “ordinary” person, I feel insulted by your contention that I have no right to decide a “complex and sensitive” issue, because being “ordinary” I am subject to feelings and moral convictions. I suppose that in the abortion case, for American example, the impartial, non-political Medical Association (AMA) should decide the issue, or some other elite group, like the elite groups who solved the Vietnam and Watergate questions. I feel that you, the author of this editorial, whether intentionally or not, have expressed certain attitudes which bear re-examination. Sicvcn Dorashi Source of atrocities building on campus.

Lolik every student who walks into a rest room in any - - Campus to ther by Garry Wills George Wallace recently grimaced his third inaugural address into the microphones, propped against the podium by a great human effort against his paralysis. One has to admire his courage. Yet when the governor’s physician says that Mr. Wallace is up to a presidential campaign, I must demur not because 1 am ignoring the parallel with Franklin Roosevelt; rather, because I am adverting to it with some care. Roosevelt suffered from polio, and had come to terms with his paralysis before his presidential years began. Wallace was bullet-riddled comparatively late in life —he barely lived he is far more damaged, untested, at a more vulnerable age, than Roosevelt ever was. He comes challenges. state, to the highest more labile and in a Yet none of this is said to claim an ultimate superiority tor Roosevelt. Whatever he accomplished, his illness would disqualify him now for the President’s office, if he were running for that office. One of the major forces that led to a glorified presidency was the news control that had to be imposed in hiding Roosevelt’s weaknesses from the populace. the banning of photographs Everyone knows the obvious signs or descriptions of his floppy efforts into and out of cars. The fireside chats” to give him a seated dignity; the press conferences held around his desk because he could not stand for long at any podium. But few realize how controlled an environment FDR’s illness caused in the White House, and how that affected the treatment of Presidents ever after. There was an abrupt surge in the action of Secret not to protect the President from the assault, but to Service agents minimize people’s awareness of his affliction. When the President special ramps for traveled, he needed a whole new range of services his wheelchair, portable toilets for his use, convertible cars so that he need not get out to greet people, sealed-off entrances that would not reveal his awkwardness at arrival or departure. Jim Bishop’s recent book on FDR’s last year is inexplicable until we realize that the appearance-factory had been working long before age and exhaustion made death’s marks obvious on Roosevelt’s face. The President himself refused to rqfognize the signs. He had for too long been fooling himself as well as the public. His guards just added further protections to those already thrown up around his disabilities. When his private railroad car, hooked onto a commercial train, could not move faster than 40 miles an hour without throwing him about beyond his spine’s ability to resist, the cover story was given to the press, and abjectly accepted, that he wanted to go slow out of love for viewing the scenery. A lying atmosphere, and a complacency with the lies, was gradually generated around the President and became entrenched. No candidate could get away with that now, and no candidate should. Roosevelt placed extraordinary limits on the press, and when serious illness overcame him there was no way for the public to know it. Wallace has been seen struggling with his braces, and has been watched getting out of cars. But there is a natural and human restraint in covering these events. It would be wrong for Wallace to trade on such inhibitions and try for the Presidency. We hid one kind of weakness in Roosevelt (his paralysis) and were ultimately, therefore, blinded to a far worse condition (his encroaching senility). No man who asks us to his his weakness can any longer be given the power of life and death that American Presidents wield. Even another Roosevelt should not be elected to office in our time; and heaven knows George Wallace is no second Roosevelt. - - - Stanley Morrow, Chairman Speaker’s Bureau Narrow view on abortion To the Editor. frorr here coffee poisons - - We want Wepner To the Editor. experimenters at Capen in cahoots?

Anyone who has a Paige Miller Staff Writer Spectrum Inconsistency is the name of the game, as far as the basketball Bulls are concerned. Following over victory their decisive Rochester, Buffalo was soundly destroyed by nationally ranked 107-78, Saturday Pittsburgh, at the Memorial night Auditorium. The Bulls are now 8-16. The early going saw Buffalo take a 20-14 lead over the Panthers thanks to some good shooting. After that, the Bulls collapsed. Pittsburgh scored fen straight points and slowly widened their margin throughout the rest of the game. Pittsburgh’s full court press was largely responsible for the Bulls’ collapse. Usually, Buffalo guard Gary Domzalski brings the ball upcourt while the team sets up for a play. The Panthers didn’t allow that. They forced Buffalo to move away from their usual and to commit 27 pattern, turnovers. If that weren’t enough, the Bulls have developed a horrible clip good game one night will have a lousy game the next. Mike Jones, who led the Bulls with 30 points against Rochester, was ineffective, and Jeff Baker, a 6-5 forward, did nut pull down a single rebound. Both were benched with 14 minutes remaining in favor of Larry Jones and Ron McGraw. The two freshmen played better, but not enough to make a difference. The only Bull who was two able to contribute consecutive strong performances was center Sam Pellom with 20 points and 14 rebounds. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, balanced got scoring from virtually the entire team, as coach Buzz Ridl used 11 of his players in the first half. Guard Kirk Bruce and forward Keith Starr both turned in fine performances, but just as important was the fact that the Panther’s bench scored 43 points. “They have the most talent of anyone we’ve played this year,” noted Richardson. “We hung in there for 32 or 33 minutes.” Unfortunately, the game is 40 minutes long. . this coupon ■■ mm Buffalo’s athletic coaches may get some of the recruiting leeway they have been longing for, thanks to the new Individualized Admissions Program (IAP) which allows students to be admitted to the University even if they do not measure up to the normal academic requirements. Bull coaches have been very critical of the lack of recruiting liberties given to them by Admissions and Records in the past. Since they have no money to offer high school prospects and have not been able to waive normal admissions standards, they feel that any attempts to bring promising athletes to Buffalo can’t be overly successful. , The key to being accepted through 1AP is to have a special talent or skill (i.c., shooting a basketball or playing the violin), which compensates for a possible academic deficiency. Richard Dremuk, the Director of Admissions and Records, said the program is geared toward “the kid who blows it in high school, but who’s the editor of the school paper. It’s for students with aptitudes in special areas.” Thompson, an admissions counselor the Faculty-Senate cojnmittee involved with the program, said it “prevents something unique in a student’s academic record, that’s not evident in his normal transcript, from being Myron serving on overlooked.” Second chance Any applicant is eligible for admission through IAP. If rejected under normal procedures, he receives along with his rejection slip a notice advising him of how to reapply through this new program. The program is expected to account for ten percent (200 students) of next year's freshman class. The procedure for acceptance through IAP is rather drawn out. Tony Rozak, chairman of the Faculty-Senate committee, explained: “We let the candidates know if they have to make an audition, get a recommendation, have an interview or whatever. We will channel each application through each department who will make a recommendation. We will make the final decision based on this recommendation and other factors.” Since the Faculty-Senate "committee does not really know what to expect from IAP, it has not established minimum average or rank, it has been speculated, however, that a minimum grade average of 75 may be set during deliberations. “I personally would not want to set a numerical value under which we would not consider an application,” said Thompson. Coaches comment The new system might get athletes into the University who might otherwise be rejected. But it does not really guarantee help to the athletic program Basketball coach Leo Richardson has his doubts. “It is not going to help the basketball program any,” he said. He explained that he does not think that the NCAA standard of a 70 high school average will be acceptable to the Faculty-Senate committee. “Our only hope is to get junior college kids or kids like [Sam] Pellom who was out of school for a year and came in through Millard Fillmore,” Richardson said. Hockey coach Ed Wright is more hopeful. “I think it can definitely help the hockey program,” he said. “It’s nice to see that the Faculty-Senate is doing something like this, and maybe it’s a sign of more support from Hayes Hall.” Athletic Director Dr. Harry Fritz took a more “Individualized saying: stance, conservative admissions should improve recruiting possibilities in just a moderate way. The athletic program will still have higher admissions than NCAA standards or sister institutions such as Brockport.” Surprisingly, neither Rozak nor Thompson appears overly enthusiastic about the program. Rozak explained, “I was appointed to this position. I have no strong feelings either way.” He noted that a similar program run by the faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics was unsuccessful and added, “It’s not the greatest thing since sex.” JEWISH STUDENT UNION 4F %T7 Union* GENERAL MEETING Topics to be discussed • — Programming for remainder of year Pressing matters that must be attended to Budgeting priorities for 75 76 - Programming priorities for 75 76 Upcoming elections of J.S.U officers New business - I-, m « , Any VW (no matter how old) can be checked out completely, on our computer.

Senior Captain Chris Barone capped off the final and greatest performance of her career with a crucial free throw, leading the Women's basketball team to a 56-53 victory over St. Bonaventure. “This win made the whole season worth it,” said a happy Chris, echoing the feelings of her ecstatic teammates. The victory raised the team’s record to 4-7. Dedication Buffalo dedicated the game to its three graduating seniors; Charlene O’Neil, Cindy Palcznski and Barone. Chris rose to the occasion, scoring a school record 27 points, equally distributed with 12 points in both the first and second half along with three decisive points in the overtime. The Bulls raced out to a commanding 28-17 halftime lead as Barone and freshman Nan Harvey combined for 26 of the team’s first 28 points. But St. Bonaventure, who started the game with only five layers in uniform because four others had first gone to Buffalo State by mistake, finally began putting things together in the second half. A well executed full court press by the Bonnies gave the Bulls fits as St. Bonaventure sneaked ahead 42-40 for the first time with 9;34 left to play. The lead exchanges hands several times before ending tied at 49—49 as regulation time expried. In overtime, Barone quickly hit from long range to give the Bulls a lead they never relinquished. streaking, now windowdiving? Goldfish . . Unseasonably warm weather brought bicycle riders, footballers and basketballers to the Ellicott Complex last week. It also brought out the windowdivers. In the Fargo courtyard, four mattresses were piled on top of each other. With anticipation in the air and the crowd growing restless, a leg suddenly appeared in a second-floor window. Nancie Nichols leaped from the window. The crowd gasped with disbelief. She plummetted with the grace of a seal diving from a cliff and landed on the mattresses below. The crowd was relieved to see her pop up without serious injury. She did, however, catch her arm on a drapery cord, which forced her to smash against the side of the building and resulted in an awkward “plop,” three jammed fingers and a bruised elbow. An honor It was later revealed that two male jumpers gave the honor and risk of the initial jump tp Nancie a precedent in the world of co-ed sports. “It was beautiful! What a rush,” exclaimed Ms. Nichols when interviewed after the jump. “But the best part is that I no longer have any fear of climbing off the top bunk,” she continued. Nancie’s future plans include a third-floor jump and perfection of her “plop.” She said she will jump as long as there are photographers aropnd. But she advises only people who are in top physical condition to attempt a windowdive. “I’m in great shape,” she said. Once the ease and safety of windowdiving had been demonstrated, it was attempted by others. After several successful second-story jumps, the crowd grew restless and demanded more — . effort The mattresses were placed in front of Fargo 4, a ten-story building, to lure an unidentified daredevil into jumping. Just when it looked as if no one had the guts, a body was flung from the seventh story terrace. It missed the mattresses and crashed to the ground. Luckily, it turned out to be a pair of dungarees and a shirt stuffed with towels. $200 also . $175 (like new) 355 Norton Hall, 2 p.m.—5 today, 10 a.m.—5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday. 831-3610. — p.m. Room 205 Norton 9 am 4:45 pm COmPLETED BUDGET REQUESTS DUE BY mflRCH. 15.1$75 Jewish Student Union announces that RRBBI MEIR KRHRNE j Founder of the :Jewish Defense LEAGUE will speak jluesday, Mar. 4 at 8 pm •Fillmore Room Norton Hall The Spectrum Monday, 3 March 1975 .

No. 62 State University of New York at Buffalo Small teams funded Assembly endorses revision of athletic budget Proposal A by Bruce Engel Sports Editor The Student Assembly passed an athletic budget Wednesday that will probably maintain the six small sports formerly threatened with extinction. The meeting was a continuation of last Wednesday’s recessed session, and was marked by a great deal of parliamentary confusion. The athletic budget for 1975-76, which passed by a vote of 44—16—2, was an amended version of the Student Association (SA) Executive Committee’s Proposal A, first brought to the floor last week. The major changes were a $13,000 the increase in operational fund and the creation of a $1,761 line for on-campus publicity. The deletion of a line to cover inflation made the overall increase $ 11,000 making the total equal to the current year’s figure of $222,599. The operational fund was designed to give the Department the freedom to fund some of the smaller teams. The increase in it brings the total to $29,000, which must first be used to make up this year’s deficit, estimated at $9,500 dollars. The Department can presumably use the remaining S20.00Q for the smaller This year, the six teams in question (track, cross country, swimming, tennis, golf and fencing) received a total of $28,000. Howard Schapiro, SA Student Affairs Coordinator, drafted the original proposal and presented the amended version immediately after Wednesday’s session was Friday, 28 February 1975 called to order same rules that everyone else has He explained that the revised to live by,” Mr. Schapiro version should please a lot of explained. Mr. Schapiro was asked people because “it speaks to the five sport idea” and also responds repeatedly why the proposed to the criticism of cutting the budget had been increased by smaller programs. “It also speaks SI 1,000. “1 feel $222,000 is a fair to the Athletic Department’s figure,” he said, adding that he request to be able to exercise its hoped the budget could be professional judgment,” Mr. stablized at that point because the students cannot afford a higher Schapiro added. sum. Not pressured Mr. Schapiro indicated that He said the proposal prohibited many new opinions, including the the Athletic Department from athletes, had been heard in the carrying over a deficit from year last week, but was quick to add, to year. “We’re trying to bring the “If you think we were pressured Athletic Department under the —continued on page 2— Give freedom The major criticism of Proposal A that had arisen since it was disclosed last weeke was that it effectively cut out the smaller intercollegiate programs. The program’s five big sports (baseball, hockey, basketball, wrestling and soccer) were to be funded while the other teams were denied specific lines. Major controvei 3y Trustees meeting picketed to protest dorm increase by Larry Kraftowitz Editor-m-Chief More than 300 NEW YORK students from colleges and universities across the state picketed a meeting of the SUNY Board of Trustees here morning to protest an Wednesday anticipated increase in dormitory room - rent. While SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer met with the Trustees on the 11th floor of the Carnegie Building on Manhattan’s East Side, students marched in a circle at the front of the building’s entrance waving picket signs and shouting, One, two, three, four; we won't pay a dollar more, Boyer sleeps for free! Why can’t we? and They say cut back; we say fight back. Dr. Boyer informed two legislative committees last week that there might have to be a “slight [upward] modification in dormitory rates” to compensate for a $3.5 million discrepancy between the dormitory revenues projected by SUNY and official state estimates. Checking figures The State University and State Division of the Budget are now investigating the discrepancy; the latter is believed to be recomputing its figures. About three hours after the picket line began, Dr. Boyer emerged from a short meeting with student government presidents to speak to the crowd, which had demanded all morning long that he meet with them. Dr. Boyer told them there was a “50—50” chance that room rents would be increased, answered a few other questions and went back inside to for a 2 p.m. meeting with prepare representatives from college newspapers and radio stations. The crowd dispersed shortly afterwards. Student Association (SA) President Frank Jackalone, who marched on the picket line and attended the 45-minute meeting between the Trustees and student government leaders, said afterward that the Chancellor promised to set up a meeting between the Student Association of the State University (SASU) and the Trustees to discuss their “different interpretations” of the need for a rent hike. respond to most of them. When asked why they were being evasive, “the Trustees said they wanted to hear the rent increase students and that this wasn’t the time for solutions,” Mr. Jackalone said. No money “What are we gonna do for students Old Westbury?” at asked one representative from the College’s predominently black, hispanic and working class student population. “Thay ain’t got no windows, the food is bad. You can’t make us pay if we don’t have the money,” he declared. Another Old Westbury student added, as he glanced up at the 11th floor: “College is for the people, for the students, for us. It’s more than a question of room rent it’s a question of access to education.” Representatives from the Red Balloon, a leftist newspaper published by students at the State Univeristy at Binghamton, were also present at the meeting. They reportedly demanded increases in funding for Health Care and Housing, and accused the Trustees of ignoring the concept of “representative student Evade questions government.” Mr. Jackalone reported that the students had asked the Trustees several questions, but found them unwilling to Throughout the morning, demonstrating students had demanded that the Trustees reconsider the effects a of students. would have on thousands _ — �Rosenberg case of 1950’s has unanswered questions Editor’s Note: this is the first of a series of articles dealing with the unanswered questions in the 1951 trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Morton Sobell. by Richard Korman Campus Editor Political trials have a way of extending themselves long past the verdict, the sentencing and, in this case, the execution of the sentence. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, electrocuted, in 1953 for stealing the secrets of the atom bomb, refuse to lie quietly in martyr’s graves. The Rosenberg-Sobell case of 1951 ended a string of indictments against alleged communist spies in this country. They came at a time when world Communism was apparently gaining strength; a revolution in China, an aggressive Soviet Union, a war in Korea. In August of 1949, the Soviet Union tested their first atomic weapon. An arrogant America, which had been assured by its military experts that the Russians could not develop nuclear weaponry for years, wondered how it had happened so fast; how this country had been deposed as the sole nuclear superpower. They found an answer which left the ingenuous American ego intact the bomb had been stolen by traitors. — ‘Fantastic’ When Julis Rosenberg was apprehended by federal authorities, he said that the charges against him were “fantastic,” the “kind of thing you hear in fairy tales.” Specifically, he was charged with commit espionage in “conspiracy wartime.” There is a great multitude of questions in this case which are either directly related to the facts of the Rosenberg’s guilt or innocence, whether the Rosenbergs were given a fair hearing before the bar of justice, or whether their death sentences were extraordinary and to cruel, the result of misinformation and prejudice. But ignoring these other issues for the moment, the charge itself has been questioned on the basis that it violates the intention of the law. “Conspiracy to commit espionage in wartime usualy means espionage committed on behalf of the enemy. But earlier in the year that the alleged crimes were committed (1945) the U.S. was closely allied with the Soviet Union, the law does not recognize espionage committed to aid an ally. It was not a major factor in determining the outcome of the trial but it should have been exploited by the defense. Emmanuel Bloch, Julius Rosenberg’s attorney, and his father, Alexander Bloch, attorney for Ethel Rosenberg, made numerous errors of judgement. On several ocassions, the Blochs failed to scrutinize testimony they considered irrelevant or so unbelieveablc that they assumed any reasonable juror would immediately dismiss it. No fight Their most glaring error was a failure to vigorously cross-examine chief witness Harry Gold, who, in the estimation of the chief prosecutor Irving Saypol, “forged the necessary link in the chain which led to the Rosenbcrgs.” Similarly, MOrton Sobell, who was tried with the Rosenbergs despite his request for a separate hearing, was the victim of an over-confident and under-critical defense. Mr. Sobell did not take the stand in his own defense. Morton Sobell was convicted on the testimony of one person, considered by his attornies too weak to merit rebuttal. He served 15 years of a 20 year sentence, five of them at Alcatraz. After the verdict, his attornies literally the begged the judge to let him testify request was denied. Emmanuel Bloch loved Julius and Ethel Rosenberg; his emotional investment - proved costly. He was not skeptical enough of certain apparently damning testimony which could have been contradicted by a more detailed defense preparation. Alexander Bloch recognized this afterwards, long after it could have helped. The younger Bloch died of a heart attack shortly after the Kosenbergs were executed. Subsequent examination of Harry Gold’s pre-trial statements and of testimony at an earlier trial in the same courtroom, before the same judge and prosecutors, revealed Gold to be a pathological liar. The prosecution and presiding Federal Judge Irving Kaufman had listened to Harry Gold admit to frequent lying at the Brothman-Moskowitz obstruction of justice trial. Months later they heard him give damning testimony against Rosenbergs but never mentioned his to the defense. But because contradictions in Harry Gold’s Several different candidates for Student Association (SA) office have voiced support for the system, which would let a student it would seminars, although probably now be feasible in a lecture class. In addition, courses are often contracted in graduate schools, since it is usually assumed that take a regularly scheduled classroom course by agreeing students have enough individually with the teacher on grad in a discipline to background course how best to cover the material. The professor and the arrange a worthwhile program of student may also determine the study, he said. On the type of evaluations (papers, tests, undergraduate level, Dr. Junz feels quizzes, oral discussions, etc.) to courses by contract would be be used in deciding grades.

Only the critics of the program were asking why these changes had occurred. A chance After an assortment of supportive comments and unrelated suggestions. Assemblyman Marty Brooks attempted to amend the amendment, calling for cuts totaling over $24,000. In something of a surprise, Assemblyman Sam Prince defended the original amendment. “It’s only fair to give the Athletic Department a chance to prove itself with a liberal set up like this,” said Mr. Prince. Later, Art Lalonde supported Mr. Schapiro’s amendment, saying that when Sam Prince comes out in favor of an athletic budget, something has to be right. Even Mr. Prince chuckled. Mr. Brooks’ amendment was defeated in a voice vote. Eventually, a hand vote called the question of Mr. Schapiro’s amendment, and the fun began. It took a lot of explaining by Chairman Scott Salimando and Parliamentarian John Roller to clarify the fact that the Assembly was first voting on whether to intent on seeing the crime of communism deftly punished as an example, than on seeing an innocent man and woman saved from death. The prosecution team consisted of Irving Saypol, Miles Lane, Roy Cohen and James Kilshimer. Irving Saypol is now a judge in New York State. Roy Cohen is a political hack on the fringe of Abraham Beame’s administration in New York City. Judge Kaufman, 40 at the time of the Rosenberg-Sobell trial was the youngest federal judge ever. He still sits on the federal bench. The Unquiet Death of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Alvin Goldstein’s Emmy Award-winning documentary now being shown around campus is a provocative account of the Rosenberg affair. It places the trial in its political-historical perspective by interspercing the narrative with an array of 1950’s political newsclips and headlines. It is as thorough as a 90-minute television documentary can be. Some have called the film biased in favor of the Rosenbergs and Morton Sobell but mqre enlightened critics consider it an attempt to get at the truth. —continued from page 1— ... and Assembly member Judy Young, a well known supporter of athletics, called to adjourn the proposal Mr. Roller also had to convince meeting. Again there were a few SA Treasurer Sal Napoli, who complaints and Mr. Salimando originally proposed Proposal A was asked if new business could last week, that he could not be dispensed with. He agreed. The accept the amendment as a meeting was adjourned at 5:30 a friendly one, which would have little more than two hours after it made the substitution vote started. unnecessary.

Ahhhh, bureaucracy in action! Campus Editor NEW YORK The expansion of the State University of New York into the largest university system in the world brought with it the development of a bureaucracy not unlike that of many “democractic” governments. "Blind reliance by many on the expertise of a few, and a general unwillingness to divulge information abound. The SUNY Board of Trustees press conference here Wednesday displayed Chancellor Ernest Boyer’s qualififcations for one of the highest paying jobs in the state. He talked a lot, smiled a lot and sent 300 students from across the state home as ill-informed as they arrived. The Chancellor and several members of the Board held a preliminary meeting with SUNY student government presidents to answer a series of questions submitted in writing by the presidents. Unfortunately, the SUNY officials answered only two of ten questions, conveniently explaining that it was not the “proper time” to reply to the rest. - Gose friends The proper time is apparently when there are no students around. After a brief press conference in which he fielded questions about a possible dormitory rent hike, Dr. Boyer expressed displeasure that the State Division of the Budget did not explain to him how it had arrived at a dormitory revenue projection almost $4 million higher than that predicted by SUNY. The discrepency may necessitate a rate hike. But Maurice Moore, Chairman of the Board of Trusttees and a Nice Lady, later said that Dr. Boyer was very close to the Budget people, and she practically raved about how well he has been working with them. Maybe the Division of the Budget and the Rubber stamp The Board of Trustees is supposed to have e final say over all SUNY policy. But it looks as if the Board merely “rubber stamps” proposals put forth by the Chancellor. When one campus representative asked Dr. Boyer why the Board and the Chancellor agree so often, he said his job is to ask the Board for things they already approve of, explaining that if the Trustees kept rejecting his proposals, it would “tell you something.” Ms. Moore, who was meant to be a Trustee of some university somewhere, appeared more accommodating toward the Chancellor than necessary. After describing what a great fighter Dr. Ketter was, she went on to repeat several times something like, “I don’t know what we would do without him [Boyer],” and “we’re so lucky to have him.” She also explained that the Chancellor tells the Trustees everything they should know about everything, and that the reason the Board took a stand against funding athletics was because they were not “advised” to do anything else. Unhappy house Chancellor Boyer voiced “regrets” to one State University at Stony Brook student who asked him why SUNY had to pay for all the Chancellor’s living expenses, including his house, which the student described as a “Taj Mahal.” Dr. Boyer said his family doesn’t like the situation and he is “unhappy” about it. (Tears came to my eyes.) He explained that he uses the house for business purposes three days and nights a week anyway, and that he considers it a public place. Besides, he continued, supplying a house is an American college tradition. Ernest Boyer After explaining how much she likes athletics (Which campus in this state has hai-lai?”) Ms. Moore indicated that if Buffalo were allowed to use state funds for athletics, this University would immediately start a football team and spend too much money on it. I tried to explain that one of the reasons Buffalo has a President and nine Vice Presidents is to prevent such a situation. Unfortunately, Ms. Moore does not believe Buffalo would be responsible enough to handle its own finances, a belief apparently also held by Dr. Boyer and Governor Carey. In retrospect, the press conference did accomplish one thing. It proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that SUNY could, without hesitation or any adverse affect, dump its evasive Chancellor and “loyal” Board of Trustees, and still be in the business of education.

Research has shown that cigarette and other forms of smoke may be just as harmful to the non-smoker, who inhales it inadvertently, as the smoker. Responding the complaints of non-smokers, the Erie County Department of Health recently distributed a Tobacco Smoke Emissions Fast Sheet describing the medical hazards of cigarette smoke and its harmful gases. (Approximately 70 percent of the adult females and 58 percent of the adult males in Erie County are non-smokers, according to the Health Department.) Among the harmful gases in cigarette smoke are carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrocyanic acid and arsenic.

Angered over the use of “scab lettuce and wine, Joel Hauser, a member of the CAC sponsored UFW Support Committee, explained the difference between the Teamster’s Union and UFW contracts. Although the wages are similar, many benefits offered by the UFW are ignored by the Teamsters. The Teamsters have been criticized for its lack of hiring halls, sweetheart contracts (negotiated without workers present), lack of pesticide controls, absence of toilet facilities in the field and the absence of a safety clause in the contract, Mr. Hauser pointed out. University The comfortable food store In a world there the most popular food stores impersonal “super” markets with hard-sell, catchy slogans, it*s hard to believe there is a friendly, comfortable community food store just down the The North Buffalo street from the University Community Food Co-op. Operating on a low budget (the entire store is valued at $3000), all members are owners and have an equal voice in executive matters. Lifetime members pay an initial entrance fee and work four hours a month at the store. In return, they receive 15 percent discount on all items bought in the store. Lou Hoebel, one of the four co-op coordinators, described the store as an “alternative to the capitalist food system which is predicated on sell, sell, sell” and explained that the coop does not exist to make a profit. Very little of their food is prepackaged. '*> shoppers can buy the quantity they need. Mr. Hoebel feels this results in a “no pressure, relaxed” are — shopping atmosphere. The produce and dairy products are purchased a wholesale daily at the Bailey-Clinton Market outlet and are sold at a 30 percent markup. The co-op also features homemade goods brought in for sale by members of the local community. The co-op tries to sell dairy products with no - - artificial additives or “animal remnants" and carries dried fruits, grains and beans, as well as an expanding selection of stoneground herbs and spices, pressed oils, and unprocessed soaps and nut butter shampoos. The co-op came into being after the old Allentown Community Co-op closed down in 1972. The management has changed hands since then, and although it is not connected with the University many of its members are associated with College F. Every other week, randomly chosen steering committees meet and decide what items to carry. They abide only by general principles and have no specific “laws.” Once a month, everyone associated with the co-op joins in a “feast,” a meeting where ideas and experiences are exchanged. The co-op does no advertising and some members feel the name of the co-op should not even appear on the front window. Its reputation has spread through word of mouth. Inside, there are posted advertisements for benefit concerts and gatherings. Personal notices hang on one of the walls. A “Free Store" in the back room provides donated items such as unwanted clothing, gratis. To one side is a “lending library” from which records and books can be borrowed. The co-op also serves as a type of community center where people hang out, trade, sell and form groups. At times they organize a joint feast with Avenue Food Co-op, a similar Lexington organization jiocated on the other side of town. non-union lettuce with petitions and posters. According to Mr. Hauser, Don Hoise, Director of Food Service, said that if 700 signatures are acquired from board students, non-union products will no longer be used. However if people complain about the lack of tossed salad in the dining halls, any available lettuce will be served, Mr. Hoise added. Mr. Hauser replied that substitutes such as cabbage, escarole and cole slaw, should be used when the UFW products are not available. Obligation Mr. Hoise then countered that it was his obligation to provide the tossed lettuce salad. He felt he should allow the students “the right to chooae” whether they want to eat the scab lettuce or not.

Unless such assistance is provided, the Cambodian Army will run out of ammunition in less than a month.” This statement contradicts earlier reports that the forces in Phnom Phen were receiving more munitions than they could use. The trial of Attica defendants Charlie Pernasilice and Dacajewiah saw its first major controversey Tuesday when Supreme Court Justice Gilbert King ruled that any testimony about the police assault on Attica prison was “irrelevant” to the death of guard William Quinn. Dacajewiah and Pernasilice are accused of murdering the prison guard, who died two days before the state police retook the prison. the supports The “irrelevant” ruling prosecutions assumption that the trial is an isolated The President continued in his letter to convey the need for the aid by emphasizing the political weight increased American supplies will carry in future negotiations. “It has been proven over the last two years,” he wrote, “that the progressive cutbacks of American support have only undercut the possibilities of negotiation by encouraging a ruthless enemy in the hope of attaining a total victory.” massacre. Testimony doubted In his opening remarks, Ramsay Clark, Mr. Pernasilice’s attorney, described the takeover as a “terrifying scene,” that would make eyewitness testimony very unreliable. (Mr. Quinn was fatally injured during the first moments of the uprising.) The trial was delayed by an exceptionally long jury selection process, and the defense had continually argued that < the jury selection process tended to exclude members of the Buffalo community who would be most receptive to their point of view. Since jurors are only paid twelve dollars a day, they claim many people who have to support families cannot accept jury duty'. Additionally, the Attica Trials News Service has called the prosecution racist for rejecting potential jurors they challenged eight of the ten blacks who appeared as potential jurors. The jury includes two black people and four women; no Native Americans were considered. Both defendants are Native Americans. 'American credibility’ Mr. Kissinger’s remarks parallel the President’s and the Secretary added that “American credibility as well as Cambodia’s survival is at stake.” Both men cited moral reasons for aiding Cambodia and asked, “Are we to deliberately abandon a small country in the midst of it’s life and death struggle?” The airlift into Phnm Phen originally from Thailand, and now from South Vietnam as well has become-.the Cambodian capital’s only source! of much needed supplies since communist led innsurgents seized mucHyof the 60 mile stretch of the Mekong River running from Phnom Phen to the South Vietnamese border.

In opening statements earlier this week, Mr. Kunstler said the defense would use three lines of argument to prove their clients’ innocense: fabrication, selective prosecution, and reasonable doubt. The fabrication argument consists of the prosecution’s need to diminish the greater tragedy of Attica by centering on “these two young men.” The argument of selective prosecution is based on the belief that it is wrong to hold two men responsible for the death of one man when no attempt has been made to prosecute those responsible for the - - * . — Starvation First hand reports indicate than tens of thousands of children in the capital are on the verge of dying from malnutrition.

Additionally, Mr. Hoag explained that an order had been issued to restrict Mr. Quinn from coming onto the reservation in 1973. Mr. Hoag produced a copy of this order in court, but indicated he would not enforce it. statements Mr. Hoag’s contradict press coverages of his intentions. A January 22 article in the Courier Express quotes Mr. Hoag as saying that if Mr. Quinn sets foot on the reservation, “I’ll see to it that he’s taken thrown off.” The article goes pn to say that move to bar all the a Traditionalists “is very much being contemplated.” The Courier Express story referred to Mr. Hoag’s markedly different public posture only two days earlier. - Hearsay? When the defense pointed out this apparent inconsistency. Judge Curtin ruled that newspaper stories are merely “hearsay.” Thus, the only “cold evidence" available, as Judge Curtin called it. was the order Mr. Hoag produced. Because of this apparent contradiction, and the fact (hat the defense was unable to produce an exclusion order allegedly issued in January, the judge could not rule whether it existed, but said he will “review the facts." The two legal advisors, Mr. and Mr. Van Aernam, have Quinn member tribal council to show refrained from entering the cause why Ms. Kennedy’s legal reservation because of “fear of advisors should be barred from physical reprisals.” This feeling entering the Cattaraugus Indian resulted from President Hoag's Reservation. assertion that “we wouldn’t have Ms. Kennedy was arrested been so patient” if the state police January 9, after a shooting had not handled the January 9 incident with representatives of incident. the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation and plainclothes policemen Mohawk The Niagara supervisors had entered the reservation to shut off the electricity of 12 traditionalist families, including Marlene’s, because the families had withheld payment of their bills for political reasons. Arraignment was held the next day in Brant Town Hall, where more than 50 of her supporters packed the courtroom. Although the bail was originally set at $24,000, it was later reduced to $3500. Ms. Kennedy was held for six days before bail was raised and then released pending a grand jury investigation. It is not clear at this point whether the defense will ask a Courier Express reporter to appear in court, especially in light of Marlene’s legal position. the now Nonetheless, traditionalists claim that Mr. Hoag is attempting to enlist the court’s aid in falsifying the public record. Since he was not under oath and a written “exclusion order” has not been produced, conflicting testimony by the press may be worthless, even if proven true. Media Media coverage has played an important role throughout the dispute between Mr. Hoag and the Traditionalists. Specifically, the Courier Express has followed Both Marlene and Mr. Quinn claim that she would be dead right now if the television cameras had not arrived as quickly as they did. This is based upon the alleged failure of the state police, dressed as hunters, to identify themselves to Ms. Kennedy. Mr. Hoag’s attitude has been mixed. He criticized coverage of the shooting incident at the time as “onesided” because a television station “paid a lot of attention to the Traditionalists” viewpoint, and didn’t even bother to find out the other side’s ideas.” However, he also stated that another station “sought me out to see what I thought, and was going to do.” At a defense committee press conference Wednesday, Mr. Quinn discussed the way that the defense views Mr. Hoag’s statement about order.” A the “exclusion statewide rally Saturday in Albany to defend treaty rights was also discussed.

The passed budget also represents the first time in four years that the athletic allocation was approved early enough to allow the department to plan ahead. Howard Schapiro, SA Student Affairs Coordinator, should be commended for the long hours he devoted to drawing up proposals that would satisfy the conflict between fiscal austerity and funding intercollegiate athletics at an adequate level. Mr. Schapiro's display of sensitivity in his discussions with all the involved parties over the past week is expecially noteworthy since he personally authored the original Proposal A. Bluebird The Little BERSERK! Bus That “Crackle Went — ‘No no no! More more MORE!’ Sputter.” What was going on in No. 74? “Squeak Lie steady, lie steady, don’t Fsssst.” push Could it be that Emma, and Louie, the bus driver, had more than a casual interest in gasoline?

He had carried students for 15 years and had seen them grow from children to adults or regress from adults to was Bus — - children, while some remained adults and others stayed children. Through rain or shine, riots or apathy, the Little Bluebird Bus performed without a complaint. The other buses, while equally capable, were never quite as popular as the Little Bluebird Bus. In fact, some were down right jealous of him. In fact, some had sworn they would get back at the Little Bluebird Bus! Each morning, his driver, Emma Gatadavida, would sing a song before starting up the motor: The Little Bluebird Bus, la la la The Little Bluebird Bus, la la la Runs without a fuss, la la la The Little Bluebird Bus, la la la “Vrroom, vrroom!” the Little Bluebird Bus would answer, and the two were as happy as anyone could be in this type of been late yet!” “You see No. 74 over there? Turn on your direct radio line with it.” “I’d sooner overhaul my engine than play with individual rights.” “Suit yourself, sperm-face, but you can’t keep your windshield dirty forever!” It was too much for the Little Bluebird Bus. What followed next was a real lulu. He reluctantly turned on his radio to No. 74. “Squeak ‘Emma, oh Emma, ohhhhh Emma’ Squeak Crackle.” ‘Louie, Louie, “Crackle Louie, Louie, Louie!’ Sputter.” ‘Emma, Emma, is this a “Fssst/Fssst sin?’ Squeak — — — - - — — ’ - - heavily. “So she enjoyed her little romp in the garden of delights,” he thought. The Little Bluebird Bus, la la la, she began. “Pipe up, bitch! I’m taking you on a joy ride!” Then, he began to move all by himself! Emma, having never turned on the ignition, could not control the big, bruising, 12 ton hulk that charged towards the first stop of the day! relationship. They would always cruise to the same spot, and pick up students who inverribly pushed and shoved to find a place to sit. the Little “Delightful children,’ Bluebird Bus thought. The last passenger each morning was a tiny freshman with a club foot. The Little Bluebird Bus always waited patiently for “Clubbo the Clown,” as he called him, even though the other students felt the freshman deserved less. On the way to the other campus, the Little Bluebird Bus let the smaller vehicles pass and cut in front of him. During the winter, kids threw snowballs at the sides of the Little Bluebird Bus and he could not understand this. “It’s nothing personal," he assured himself. Finally, the Little Bluebird Bus arrived at his destination, and discharged his passengers. Customarily, he waited for Emma to grab a cup of coffee, and then it was back to the main campus. It was a happy existence and the Little Bluebird Bus had no reason to believe that anything would disturb this tranquility . . . . . until one morning when the other buses decided to put an end to the Little Bluebird Bus’ dream world. For some reason, Emma was late and he was ignorant of her whereabouts. All but one of the other buses went over to speak with him. “Hey, little one!” said No. 191. “No. 191, have you seen Emma?” he asked. “Emma? Emma, oh I know, yeah sure. I know where Emma is.” All the other buses huddled together and snickered. “What’s so funny, guys? We’ve never - GAWDDD!’ Fsst.” “That sounded like ‘Pillow Talk’!” shouted the Little Bluebird Bus. “Emma! That, that, hussy. That Unionized Dyke!” His mind snapped. The other buses drove away, laughing. Emma had betrayed him. Next would come marriage and then, the junk heap for the Little Bluebird Bus! Emma boarded her bus, and sighed Sputter Deviously, he opened his door to the onslaught of students and just as quickly, slammed it on them, sending at least five propelling backwards. One pregnant co-ed in the confusion. The tiny freshman with the club foot made his way through the debris of scattered bodies and begged the bus to lost her child open his doors. “Please, please, I’m late for therapy! he pleaded. The Little Bluebird Bus opened slowly and the freshman cautiously placed his club foot on the first step. “That’s the one!” thought the Little Bluebird Bus, and the doors shut tight on the kid’s arch. “You’re lucky I’m a masochist, or 1 would really be hurt,” cried Clubbo. “Someone call a psychiatrist!” Emma screamed. The Little Bluebird Bus had other plans. He raced through the city, sideswiping station wagons full of children and groceries. Whenever Emma honked his horn to warn other cars of the danger, the Little Bluebird Bus farted. And then he felt something hard and cold hit his side. The kids throwing snowballs had made a fatal error! “Those kids are trying to hurt me I HATE THEM!” The Little Bluebird Bus then jumped the curb and chased after his assailants. Unfortunately, their skinny legs could not outrun the bus, and their fragile bodies could not support his weight. It was murder now and the Little Bluebird Bus realized it. Through the backroads, he approached the other campus and spotted Louie. Louie, man of of symbol dreams, Emma’s the mammalalistic fertility! “You will soon be as dead as Emma’s dreams!” But Emma was deader than her dreams. Emma had died, clutching his wheel, dried tears smearing her rouge. The Little Bluebird Bus had killed the only thing he had ever loved. In his grief, he roared over Louie and went on going until he had barrelled into the idle No. 74. “Mon pubis,” the Little Bluebird Bus uttered and died.

But then came this notion of Russian roulette. One member of the audience, chosen at random, gets to be shot by Ian Anderson at each concert. It could certainly add a new thrill to the industry how exciting it must be to have that gun pointed right at you I And what a relief/letdown when the person sitting next to you is killed ... I left my house so fast that I didn't even put on a shirt with pockets. That's to establish my credibility out front. I got to the IRC bus just in time. Well aware that I could be killed tonight, I was full of energy, determined to live out my life to the fullest. I asked the guy sitting next to me if he felt alienated being on a bus full of people his own age and not talking to anybody. He replied by not answering. So I tried to pass the time by noticing things like how I was the only person on the bus Who hasn't shaved since New Year's. I soon was bored. concert — The opening act. Carmen, came on and started singing in Spanish. They had a beautiful female singer who was incredibly suggestive, but it made me mad that they were trying to do that to me so I decided not to look at her all night. They introduced the next song in English and sang: There was a legend in Spain There walked a man through the rain ... GYPSY ROCK!! That's what it was. MADIERA ROCK!!! And when I looked closely at them, Are they really human beings on stage? MANNEQUIN ROCK!! Awlright! The best part of the first set was when I went to urinate. Some guys get their kicks by turning out the lights in the bathroom as they leave. I always get schmucked out at concerts. Get into arguments, put forth the idea of capitalist concerts, ask people how they feel about what they're doing. They just get pissed. "It's every man for himself." Sure! But what if I'm the other man? Bureaucracy It's all too big. Isolation. Alienation. Too many people. Security to keep out things. Mass music. As she ended, lights flashed and smoke developed. The spot swung to the right for the immediate entry but the guitar blew it he pulled his own plug as he leapt on stage and had to go back as roadies surrounded him — trying fix the damage. Meanwhile the lights continued to flash and the smoke continued to grow. Ooops! to Zebra Suddenly the bassist jumped His colors were black and white, with thick barber pole zebra stripes, so was his bass. And finally Ian Anderson appeared, running all over the place, up on out. the balcony, jumping, waving hands and making faces like a court buffoon, kind of snotty in a way. It was Passion Play. The guitar (Martin Barre) showed little movement due to his malfunction. After the first song, Ian well (no feedback) and then he played flute standing on one foot. There was intricate communication between the roadies and Ian, and he got the cue that the guitar was OK, so they whipped out the raunch. I felt very sorry for the guitar he seemed sensitive and not cut out for the theatrics. He seemed to be looking for communication from the other band members. The organ player was wearing — headphones (earphoes?). After the second song, Ian said: "Thanks, you did very well." Then the drummer came out in front and acted like an idiot/fool. People started calling out songs. They obviously didn't realize that every sound and movement they were witnessing was carefully planned and rehearsed, and that doing requests was next to impossible. No spontaneity here. Silver quartet Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond brought out a double bass with did lots of They stripes. folk-acoustic stuff. A violin quartet sat down on the left with silver afro wigs and low cut gowns in black. The guitar was still having trouble. Ian had to kill time. He rapped and reminded me of a hotel host, Joe Pyne activities coordinator. He said that boogie means zebra shit and that Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond would bring some out later. Ian unobtrusively checked with the guitar to see if he was ready (this sort of communication must be disguised because they're not supposed to seem like normal people) and they went into "My God."

Anderson said: "Gonna change my coat. Shut up for a minute." Vegas c o s tumed The conductor-showgirl came out with a coat for Ian. Then she walked off. Thick As A Brick opened with Ian Anderson playing acoustic guitar and singing. The guitarist was thus given a chance to fix his equipment. Meanwhile, when everyone was running and jumping all over the stage before, there were roadies running all over, fixing up tangled cords, things knocked over and they were ignored like they weren't there. Like in medieval times, there was a hierarchy on stage very similar to the relationship between the peasants and the nobility of the Middle Ages. Ian, you're a genius The acoustic guitar worked out - — control of everything. With a wave of his hand the music stopped, with a gesture it rose. He was like a mad puppeteer. The music is more calm after the big opener of raunch, smoke and flash. The stage is less extreme now too. Enter flute. He swings it like a baton and they do a real heavy baroque thing. This leads into a flute solo, all alone, and he uses echo and voice-tone for psychedelic effect. He slips into a popular madrigal harpsichord type of folk song for a second and the whole band is suddenly there and then they drop out again as he continues alone. He's playing hard, but can he be taken seriously? It's like a medley of different songs tied together by this solo and it goes on for about ten minutes. Baroque boogie There's something baroque about JethroTull. And it's a full string quartet, not just violins. The band is back, the showgirl brings him an alto sax, and he blows five notes as the song ends and he picks up with a running chatter while everyone gets new instruments. The organ player puts on an electric accordian, the drummer moves to tablas and xylophone, guitar to timbales and marimba. Striped Bass switches to striped guitar, and Ian sings about skating away on the rise of the new day. The organist puts down the accordian and sits at the drums, playing with brushes, and wearing an idiot face. I wonder how old he is. A Zebra comes walking out and shits three striped boogies which Striped Bass juggles. Ian makes obscene remarks about the showgirl relating to his mother's tits. He's really in control now. Smokin' They do a song called "Ladies" approximately, which involves two acoustic guitars, double bass and string quartet, moving right along. Now he plays sax again, blows two phrases, hits a wrong and makes a face, and the drum solo begins. It builds into smoke, which gradually comes pouring out from the drums as it more intense, building, gets smoke, colors, flashes, the mirror ball goes on, electronic music starts broadcasting over the PA, the drums are electrified through synthesizer and phase shifters, total noise and confusion as the drums and drummer are completely obscured by smoke, then they all come back on to end the song, foot controls on the voice and flute, the guitarist and the bass player look at each other, note the bass player turns away but the guitarist still looks at him, hurt, the floor is mined and everywhere Ian goes there are explosions of light and smoke, bombs whistling and exploding, flashing blind, WARTIME!!! Everyone has been bombed right off the stage and Ian is left alone singing, until one goes off in his face and he splits too. Destruction. Bungled Then banners fall down from the ceiling and hang almost to the stage. Into the piano solo (acoustic), add string quartet real shit. I bet they do "Bungle In The Jungle" for a closer.

Prodigal Sun �'Apple Pie' Terrific cinematic theatre by Jay Boyar Spectrum Arts Editor This past Tuesday night, Apple Pie presented by the Center for Theatre Research opened at the Courtyard Theatre (Lafayette and Hoyt Streets). For some reason ($7) there are no buses from campus to the theater. If transportation is a problem for you, speech patterns are adjusted to music judged emotionally appropriate to the speech and the scene." For once, I agree with the program notes. - — then quickly make friends with a car-owner; in fact, it might even be worth the walk. Apple Pie is a music-filled play about personal responsibility telling the story of Lise, a girl who leaves Hitter's Germany with her family to escape the terror there and comes to America only to discover the terror here and within herself. Even though the story is especially predicatable, and although the point that's made about responsibility (victim as executioner) is pretty thin, there are so many other terrific things in Apple Pie that they redeem If not completely eclipse its weaknesses. One of the play's best aspects is its direction. — — The Apple and the eye A* it is taged, Apple Pie is very cinematic. I'm not really talking about the way slides are projected at mid-stage (although that's nice, too) but rather about the imaginative use of stage space which focuses attention selectively on each scene's components. In film, it is simple to direct attention to a detail of a scene a close-up will do or, if the film is more subtle, then a more gently coersive camera-placement can be devised. In live theater, this type of attention-directing is the viewer is harder because the "camera" stationary. Spot-lighting and loud noises can function as stage equivalents of close-ups, and there's plenty of that type of thing in Apple Pie. But the play goes further by arranging colors and actors, and by moving the action in many directions at once. Director Saul Elkin moves your eyes around the set to the spots he wants you to see, and also opens the stage to allow you to feel you are making discoveries yourself. In one scene, the action takes a man to the upper stage platform to make a speech. You see him, then you see the two women flanking him, and then your eyes travel down the steps to see the two groups of men flanking the threesome. FjnflJjYiYOU fee another actor squatting on the lower stage at eye-level. And if you’re really looking, you'll see even more. Your vision is guided that way, in the sequence. It takes refreshing imagination to guide the audience's eyes to a figure who is squatting motionless and silent, to do so at exactly the right point in a sequence, and to make you think you've found the figure yourself. Elkin performs tricks like these throughout the play. The actors: Robin Willoughby plays Lise, the play's jaded narrator and Sara Wallens plays little Lise, the girl involved in the play's action who will eventually become the narraotr. Willoughby's performance is intricately stunning. When we first see her a fancy feathered opera hat tops her artificially orange hair. The lighting makes black bags of her eyes and cheeks. She's heavier than a beautiful woman can be between garters fat flesh is revealed. She's tawdry and her red nails say so. Cynical, decadent, bitter and crushed she cries, "Good, innocent, perfect and fine;" and it's not so much ironic as it is a desperate cry for the illusory and alien. It's a dehydrated prospector's desert-scream for water. As little Lise, Sara Wallens has a good (microphone-aided) expressive singing voice. In the early scenes, she's perfect with her glassy-eyed "guise of a pure little victim." Her long, white skirt makes her head seem too big. She's a cartoon and it works. She should seem like someone from Panic Theatre, she does seem like someone from Panic Theatre, and, coincidentally, she has played in Panic Theatre. — — Sparkle — , The stage is also filled with an explosion of colors and huge stage devices (you want to call them characters they're so eloquent and witty) continuing to the end when sparkles of light change the theater into a grim carnival. It's easy to guess what will happen in a given scene, and what it will mean, but how it will look is always a surprise. The playwright, Myrna Lamb, has a remarkable sensitivity to the way people talk. She twists traditional speech formulations so that there is funny, linguistically-incisive dialogue like "So, it seems you are black," and "A little something with the hair ,.Sometimes she goes a bit off-key; the references to specific locals and ethnic types which solicit laughs are often just slightly-hip versions of the talk-show ploy in which a guest mentions a city's name to court applause. Still, Lamb's awake to the inflections and rythms of words and so is Nicholas Meyers who wrote the play's music. The program notes say, "... the stresses and falls of normal r — Worm In the latter scenes, she should begin to take on more of Willoughby’s intelligent, cycnical perversity but unfortunately she doesn't. Wallen's face should become a fright-mask (as Willoughby's is) long before an actual mask is added. And her voice tones should eventually acquire some of Willoughby's horrifying edge. As Harry, Lise's father-husband, Michael Pelonero is just brilliant; he looks like a wounded bird with his small moustache, bow-tie, white shirt sleeves, and hand held like a claw with a book at the end. Pelonero always gives himself completely to a character becoming that personality without explicit irony. And, yet, we are always aware of his attitude toward his character. How does he do this? Well, Lamb's dialogue helps and so does Pelonero's control in handling his quieter scenes. Incidently, when he dances, his body and face move around so comically that the fun more than excuses his limited singing range. The men There's a chorus of Men in the play which works well to establish the atmosphere of various scenes and it's even hard to tell which of them are, genuinely stupid and which just act that way. The play's two sour notes are George Garcia as Lise's lover and Lucia Beck as Lise's mother. They're.both very stiff and not really caught up in the sick fun with the others in the cast. Sure, their characters call for stiffness, but it would have been better had it been a more engaging, stylized stiffness like that Pelonero manages at times. Playwright Myrna Lamb also wrote Mod Donna — which was according — transcends its major difficulties in plot and theme. tends to forgive such weaknesses when they occur in other, more conventional "musicals," and they can be easily overlooked in Apple Pie, which has so much more to offer as well. What's good about the play is very exciting; it's a spicy treat to even the weariest audience.

Ujg&oTg �Our Weekly Reader Eugene Ionesco, The Hermit, translated by Richard Seaver (Viking Press) Some time ago I walked out of a Bunuel film feeling extremely confused. Beneath all that satire and parody of the middle class, I wondered, was anything else of substance being said? "You don't seem to understand," a friend of mine who was a radical film critic told me. "The film is about the bourgeoisie, it tears apart their distinct charms meant ironically, with venom! Never again will people fail to realize the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie; they are slashed apart by this film, which is indeed daring!" But I remained skeptical. It seemed to me that for years the French artists were loving themselves for having the "courage" to attack the bourgeoisie; and of course, each subsequent attack became easier and easier, while the need for them at all was declining. "You're resisting the film because you are bourgeois," said my friend the film critic. And indeed, what could I $ay?No one wants to appear bourgeois, and yet everyone not obsessed with the subject realizes that there is an enormous difference between a work that includes satirical barbs within the scope of its ambitious and original irreverence, and one that opts simply to be a satirical barb and offer that as a world view. In France everyone laughs at the bourgeoisie, but it's another matter to name one. And here in America we also share a similar problem; after a decade of fighting against the hypocrisies of middle mentality, with its regimentation, class dehumanization, enslavement to material good, its but you narrow-minded insistence on conformity know the old story, right?- nearly everyone today looks good, they look good! and agree that it's so important to be relevant and conscious about one's career. So suddenly there are all sorts of television shows that lash out at middle class life; and we all can laugh and feel unified because we're not like — suburbs of Paris and live carefully on the funds. And although his life is trimmed down to the bare eating at a local restaurant, sleeping, essentials with no walking, drinking, the bathroom occupation or employment to trouble his mind, the man becomes terribly depressed and unhappy, finds himself in a state of anguish about the nature of his existence as a human. With a novelist such as Isaac Bashevis Singer, for instance, the simple deeds and banalities of life accumulate and collect until they form an utterly overwhelming mass that is life, existence; there is nothing to do but become a hermit. What is interesting and so fine ebout this novel by Ionesco is that the narrator begins by cutting himself off from everything, yet still his anguish at the "cosmic absurdity" of his condition remains and intensifies. At one point, a casual love affair with a waitress, which makes him somewhat happier, falls apart; it is by finding her slipper in his then that he realizes apartment, proving that she once was there he had "ties to the universe." Immediately, the outside - — - - - that. But when this kind of artistic activity becomes an end in itself, becomes critically fashionable, the most profound meaning is that the writer can no longer conceive of urgent and vital fictional materials. A fashionable critic might look at Ionesco's The Hermit and applaud the hostile satire of the eating scenes, the life at the office, the minute detailing of the items in an apartment he would say, "This novel lashes out at the hypocritical mentalities of the bourgeoisie!" but he would appear ridiculous, simply because Ionesco is attempting a far more complex and killing, streets, buildings are blown up and mutilated; it is impossible to keep track of the various armies, issues, battles involved. But the narrator sees that things are much the same; "As for me, I was living in a state of catastrophe, independently of what was going on outside. Or rather, what was going on outside was going on in me. The outside was beginning to reflect the inside. Or vice versa." When the hostilities change location the narrator is able to survey the wreckage of his neighborhood as if it were the ruins of his life, his civilization; and indeed, these are the same, for the narrator (and therefore, the reader) has lost all awareness of time. The strangely affirmative, perplexing and hauntingly beautiful ending only adds to the appealing substance and complexity of the book. Eugene Ionesco has written a novel that refuses to fit easily into any convenient mode of classification. Hardly existentialistic, far more than the dull-witted satires about tacky modern customs, it is a work which attempts nothing short of a complete and pointed confrontation with life; comic and yet touchingly poignant. The Hermit is written confinement on this planet, etc.; the absurdity of with a unique mixture of cynicism and love; it living when we are going to die: the horror of dying should be read by all of us "turbulent" humans, when we could be alive.

He receives an inheritance from an American demands, who want and demand, who kick off. . uncle and decides to retire, to move to the southern -Geoffrey Green vision. With this novel, Ionesco presents himself clearly as an author concerned with the futility of silly customs; the futility of silly customs which simply reflect, in different ways, a basic pervasive silliness; the uselessness of assembling these customs into some kind of life; the sadness of organizing and assembling a sort of life when it is utterly impossible to know or understand anything substantive about the nature of that life or the reasons behind those organizing patterns; the absurdity of attempting to write, to depict with words the nature of any reality or issue or theme that ultimately relates to life since it is impossible to know anything substantive about the nature of that life; the pointlessness of doing anything now, in the present, when it simply becomes a part of a blurry past ; . of a life in which it is impossible to know anything, etc.; the riskiness of functioning at all when we are not even sure of the meaning of that word or any other, existing as they do within the confines of a verbal structure whose rules are arbitrary and impossible to etc,, as a part of a world where it is impressible to understand anything etc., . not even the nature of our .

TAX MNVICE AU FOAM* OF INSURANCE ANO INVESTMENTS Prodigal Sun �Our Weekly Reader Carlos Castaneda, Tales of Power (Simon and Schuster) When we think we decide, all we're doing is acknowledging that someone beyond our understanding has set up the frame of our so-called —Don Juan decision, and all we do is acquiesce. The relationship between Don Juan and Carlos Castaneda has acquired a growing cult of interest since their first suspicious meeting in 1961. Don Juan hooks his apprentice into a finely balanced system of knowledge, and we, as readers, are likewise ensnared by the phenomenal detail of Castaneda s any event that reportage. As the author tells us; ", occurred within this alien system of sensible interpretation could be explained or understood only in terms of the units of meaning proper to that . This all sounds very cut and dried in retrospect, but of course along the way Castaneda stubbornly clings to his reason and searches for explanations. The fantastic displays of power which he witnesses in the actions of both Don Juan and the unpredictable Don Genaro tear at his reason and constitute his battles for personal power. In particularly difficult stretches of his apprenticeship, Don Juan invites his appeals for explanations. “It's your duty to put your mind at ease. Warriors do not win victories by beating their heads against walls but . system." Castaneda tries to assemble his early experiences with Don Juan in The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge and A Separate Reality. These are books dealing largely with becoming a "man of knowledge" through the ritualized use of "power plants:" peyote, jimson weed and certain mushrooms. It isn't until the third book. Journey to lx dan, that Castaneda realizes drugs are not essential to the nature of the teachings, and shifts his perspective. Ixtlan recounts Castaneda s efforts to master specific techniques which don't entail the use of psychotropic plants. These tasks, "stopping the world" and seeing, prove to be no less terrifying for the author than his previous endeavors, and the third with Castaneda book ends as do the first two giving up on the teachings. The recently published fourth book. Tales of Power, bears out the perspective of Ixtlan and presents an overview of the entire teachings, along with numerous surprises; Don Genaro's double being, the mystery of the Dreamer and the Dreamed, the unfolding of the wings of perception, the truth behind La Catalina, the Secret of Luminous Beings, Don Juan elegantly attired in a tan business suit in paper.

Ms. Gutman states that one of the reasons for this country's loss of vibrancy was the death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. She feels that Americans had looked to FDR's leadership as a way of supporting their belief that it was still possible to tie one's individual desires for greater expression to the fuller national aims of the country.

To. prepare Castaneda for the Sorcerer's Explanation, Don Juan seeks to acquaint his charge with the notions of the "tonal" and the "nagual." These are the final parts of the eight that comprise a man. Of these, the average man is familiar with three: reason, talking and feeling. The warrior also knows dreaming, seeing and will. The tonal centers around reason; the nagual can only be witnessed through the will. Oversimplified, it is a case of the total known placed in a delicate balance with the total unknown, all subject in the understanding to and that's the the elusive Sorcerer's Explanation clincher. An in-depth revelation of the nature of the tonal and the nagual constitutes the central portion of the book. Castaneda's progress as a warrior and the awesome feats of the two sorcerers, Don Juan and Don Genaro, combine to make it a formidable work of imaginative (iterative.

But he was not the first President to die following a great national moral effort. If she is correct, our country should have experienced the same effect after Lincoln's assassination. The solution which she offers to help generate a new flow of energy in American society involves work with a counter-culture. She believes that we should cultivate an outside culture which should be fluid enough to be eventually absorbed into the dominant culture, thereby extending it beyond the levels which it has reached. The one thing which Ms. Gutman fails to see is that our generation will not live the Grand Illusion. We are a generation of cynics; we are critical of everything. The problem lies in the fact that nothing positive is arising out of this cynicism. Until it is directed into constructive action, America will continue to wander aimlessly. When I first saw this book I had tremendous expectations. However, I was immediately disappointed because of the author's lack of style. This book, like all of Ms. Gutman's previous undertakings, is in the form of a pictorial essay. The pictures do not enhance the book because, more often than not, they do not relate to the text. The basic idea behind the work is good, but an excess of sentimentality clouds the opinions. There are many places where Ms. Gutman's explanations of certain things seem to be based purely on emotional response rather than rational thought. Is America Used Up? is a time piece which does not quite hit the bull's eye. —Robert Topaz Friday, 28 February 1975 . The Spectrum , Page thirteen �Martino and Tyner A greatresponsibility for controlled music "But what the hell, it's Harvard, all the same thing, eh by Mr. Honesty and chaps?" the Setting Son — Editor's note: This is a transcript of a tape made by the reviewers during last Saturday night's concert. WE HAVE TO TRY TO GUESS WHO PAT MARTINO IS. Pat Martino is wearing a searsucker suit... looks like a blue suit... medium length hair... could be out of an Italian movie magazine In twenty years Pat Martino will be from Cleveland (I think the bass player is wearing overalls). Everyone looks really bored. Pat Martino is sitting on a chair, building to a climax. The violin player is stroking his beard. The piano player has a turban. (Sounds like I'm in 1958.) Pat Martino wiggles his left foot for emotion. Everyone's playing their role very nicely. Everyone sits near each other and doesn't talk, then at the end of the songs they clap their energy cause that's the only place they can put their hands. It's an integrated band... or don't we notice those things anymore?? NOW REMEMBER, SEE HOW LONG YOU CAN SIT NEXT TO THE PERSON NEAR YOU AND NOT SAY ANYTHING TO THAT PERSON. everyone has their solos) (emotional (taking fours .. to stop ideas without emotion) I don't know whether Pat Martino is feeling good or feeling bad when he plays. Is he happy? Is he sad? What's the matter with him? Why does he have to stand in frdnt of everybody and play guitar? they're not giving us The band is fighting us back right they start one song any time to review them - — — after the next. (Still waiting for the emotion.) "The piano player has a crush on the drummer but you wouldn't know it." "It's really unemotional, you know? I don't feel anything." "Pat Martino does not let us know what he's feeling on stage." "That's for sure. Neither does anyone else." "They all look like zombies .. ." (violin player reveals echoplex) Being sarcastic and funny js a natural outgrowth of this society. In the all-communist society everything will be funny "We live in a very scientific age. computers, everything is mathematics, Everything everything is is scientific! It's affected advertising. The economy. News not as an reports, TV, radio, movies. Everything is an art technique. This music is the a skill, a art but a science come It could all computerlike! It's all scientific and sanriel out of a moog synthesizer! It could all be programmed! It's not from the heart!!!'' "This is a result of the moonshots. If we hadn't been so into outer space and getting to the moon,; the music would be much more down to earth." Music is a gimmick to them. (They play their music to entertain us, but they also have to entertain themselves.) '7 graduated from Harvard, sigma cum yiolin." "Oh yeah? / was phi gamma guitar. - ...

(Acid is a very deceiving drug. One minute you're . there and the n) "Who do you think is the best dressed member of the band?" "Maybe it's Pat's guitar - he can't take his eyes off it!!" THIS IS FROM RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT: Pat Martino once played one hundred notes in the space of 3.6 seconds. That was in Copenhagen, 1968. But let's say something good about Pat: if this wasn't a McCoy Tyner concert. I'd be very pleased with Pat Martino. (I think what music needs now is a McDonalds' amplifier.) He won that amplifier by collecting 50 coupons from Big Macs and trading them in at his nearest McDonalds' dealer for an amplifier which you can do too if you want to be a rock and roll superstar!!!!! EVERYONE ON STAGE PRETEND OKAY, YOU'RE NOT THERE, Running a concert is a very simple operation. Rent a music machine. It costs about $2,000. You get lots of people, and your friends to chip in S2 each to sit in the same room with the machine. Then you plug it in and it plays music. The Pat Martino, catalogue number 757054, # 1975 UUAB music machine edition. OKAY, EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE PRETEND YOU'RE NOT THERE. Jazz music is really easy to listen to. Whoever is playing the loudest is soloing. You try to listen to him as much as you can, and see if you can figure out how the rest of the band is playing along with him. (at this point we began to interview members of the audience party) Hey, Jay, what do you think of this concert? "It's too early to say. The sound system's no good." "I feel like I'm five years old." And having a good time? "And having a good time!" "The band's all right but I don't like them." "They're too technical. They don't play from the gut." is the (The guy sitting next to me just explained why he thought the girl in front of me's purse wasn't mine.) Eddie Green.

Sherman Ferguson on drums okay, applaud a little longer but try to keep it down I'm going to piss on you to close the set. “He speaks in the same zombie-like way he plays." (Next year's model, catalogue number 775049, will have a more natural human speaking voice.) The guitar playing is controlled by nerve impulses and we have no control over that aspect of the machine. It's all done by computers, you understand. Very technical. No, I don't understand. What do you mean? I meant it was technical. You wouldn't understand. HEY, IS IT MY TIME TO SOLO?? Let's see how I feel playing this solo: ooh, I'm really going fast. I must be really nervous. Listen to those low-notes. I must be mean . . I feel like I've got no control over my fingers!!! They go all over the guitar!!) Pat Martino really cooks with his guitar, and he plays a mean 'lectric frying pan. John Coltrane used to play hour-long solos and his socks would fall down. Pat Martino, when he plays for a long time, his pants fall down. That's why he sits on his stool The greatest concert ever will be for free. That's all we know about it so far. In all the solos they get into circular repeating riffs, going across the rhythm, using the same riffs a lot, repeating themselves. They use the same basic ideas, so they're all takirig the same solo. (The violin player was soloing, and a little trickle of sweat fell into his eye. He stopped his solo so he could take the sweat out of his eye. The piano player saw this and naturally started to play in his pace, but he saw that his shoe-lace was untied and bent down. Pat Martino saw nobody else ready to play so he started to solo. This went on for about two hours. Meanwhile, the bass player had gone out to get a soda. Pat Martino was left all alone on the stage. He got up to say good-bye and his pants fell ... ... ... . . - — . _ down.) DRUMMERS ARE THE PROLITERIAT OF JAZZ, THE GREATEST MOVING FORCE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. I was really hoping that song would end so we could have the intermission, but they seem to be prolonging it a little longer. (In the middle of one song the piano player stopped playing, fell down on his piano and started to cry. Pat Martino began to solo in his place. Everyone looked at him very sadly as he continued to cry. Finally, two people from UUAB came and took the piano player away.) When the set ended, the announced said, "PAT MARTINO." Then he said, "PLEASE!" What does he report to please mean by that? Pat Martino please personnel office. Your check is waiting. We asked a member of the audience whether Pat Martino was really alive: "He was really live. Tm not that familiar with jazz, but I really liked it. I spaced out on a couple of songs. I » ... ... Page fourteen The Spectrum Friday, 28 February 1975 . . t Prodjgal Sun �really liked the way he did 'Sonny,' which was the only song I was familiar with. In general, I was really flipped out by the whole thing. I wish I had another joint or two, you know, just to get into it more." Would you buy all of Pat Martino's albums after hearing this concert? "Would I what?" How do you think this will affect the economy? "Well, first of all I don't have a stereo You only hear in mono? so I don't purchase any albums." This concert is an economic failure. —" "And it would be great to talk to them because they're really playing great." "Rijfit. I wonder what they have to say about what they're doing." "It's the whole leader-follower thing again better ... than thou." — — TYNER IS ONE OF MAO TSE TUNG'S GREATEST INFLUENCES. (pat argentine, pat march in tino. pat march 24. dick may 8. the nixons november 4) "Why shouldn't I be excited for McCoy Tyner?" There's this Indian percussion instrument which is the same as what Gato Barbieri used on Fenix. (I wish I could remember what it's called.) It's long and has a big bowl on the bottom with a string. There is a saxophonist playing sopranino and McCoy is playing percussion, and is about to play piano. Nobody recognized McCoy when he walked on stage. The sound of the soprano sax is really bad. The mike's just picking up three or four notes out of the whole register of the instrument, and they come out really loud. The other notes aren't getting picked up at all. The mike is aimed straight down to the floor not smart. McCoy Tuner was never old enough to lead his own band until now. "There's a lot of trouble with the sound system McCoy can't hear himself, and he also can't be heard in the audience! He's not coming outll He keeps leaning his head into the monitor!! Nothing's happening!!!'' THE THING IS IF McCOY CAN'T HEAR HIMSELF PLAY, PROBABLY iMOBODY ELSE ON STAGE CAN HEAR HIM PLAY EITHER. SO HOW CAN THEY KEEP PLAYING THE WAY THEY'RE PLAYING IF THEY CAN'T HEAR HIM?? It's every musician's dream to someday lead his own group. Somehow, after being a sideman for many years, they'll be able to lead their own group . . . and then have it's not an equal their own sidemen but all that is thing! They don't relate as equals. There's a leader and'he doesn't have to worry about what the other people are doing he tells them what to do, since he is the leader of the group. They don't have to relate as equals, or as equal people, something that's so typical of society always having a leader. Everywhere you go there are always leaders please keep reading People never play out at the same time. They're always taking turns soloing Why can't they just interact in a way so that they don't neutralize each other or Why can't people just be out get in each other's way front and interact naturally combine their total energies Why does everyone have to play a role and a game? "I like to hear one musician play at a time. That way I can tell why he's doing it. The solo Juni Booth just did on bass was the most enjoyable thing of the evening for me." McCOY'S LEFT HAND COMES DOWN LIKE A FIST OR A HAMMER AMAZING. HE CAN DOMINATE THE SOUND OF THE WHOLE BAND. HE REALLY LETS IT FLY AMAZING I (Now that McCoy Tyner is playing everyone can stop talking about Pat Martino.) "They're playing from Monk straight, no chaser." "Why do sax players always seem so hung up?" "They all seem so good. I wish I was interested." (Note: at this point there was a big space in the tape.) That was incredible! That was one of the best songs I've ever heard in — — - — — — .. squeezing." Now we're being treated to the second bass solo of the night. He can't get it on with the rest of the group, so he has to play solo if That can't be true or the whole thing is hype you understand my dumbeg. (I always excused his dumbeg in the past, but I couldn't help but notice it tonight.) (He's a real dumbeg, going around with that potato-head . . and that dumbwaiter from Santora's . — — ... .. . eh that he's into what he's playing. What did one reviewer say to the other? Don't get any ideas. "Do you think we're too critical?" "Definitely." Great drum player. He got loose after doing his solo, now he's really playing freely. The musicians should make it their responsibility to be sure that what they play is heard by the audience. Musicians should not act like they don't care. They get into what they're doing and they act like they don't care if anyone is listening. As a result, a lot; of people don't hear if what's going on. If they're doing a concert for people there are people coming to hear them they should make it their responsibility that the music is heard clearly. Otherwise it won't get done, because nobody knows the music like they do. Musicians give the responsibility to other people, and in the end lose control over their music. Just like soloing again; I play the music, you do the sound check, you run the lights, and there's no interaction. Delegation of authority. Leaders and followers. No responsibility. No control. Out of control. Corporate business. Corporate government, corporate music. Everyone out for themselves. Everyone out of the room. EVERYONE OUT PLEASE WE HAVE ANOTHER SHOW TO DO!! — "The last thing they'd ever think of doing is to let us clap along with the song." "I know. That might turn it into a clap-a-thon."

Cold Spring Habor, while thumbing through a row of dusty discs in the back of some record store. Then Joel took off, "headed out to California," and made his mark with an album and single, both entitled Piano Man. Now one year and two albums later, "Billy the Kid" is riding into Buffalo to make his first appearance at Kleinhans Music Hall, Saturday. Billy has been dubbed the Piano Man by his promo agents, which is reasonable, because he happens to be one of the finest piano players in the business. But his talents also extend to a sensational voice, and an excellent capability with an organ, harmonica and, most recently on his StreetHfe Serenade album, with the Moog. His songs ring with a terrifying realism that can come only from experience. He tells tales of men who sit and watch life pass them by while they grasp a martini in their hands. He bellows out about die roller coaster life of a rock musician, and he speaks bitterly about the shallow and empty life of a Long Island youth. His music borders on the mellow, with a rag tossed in here or there to set the tempo, and sometimes with a little bir of electrical flavor to it just for good taste. Billy Joel is in the same breed of musician as Harry Chapin and John Sebastian, in the sense that u.'Mke most performers who have "made it," he isn't off on some wild eg. trip. Instead, he cautiously takes time to look over life and put it into perspective with a song. In addition. Festival has announced the addition of a first act: Tom Rush, veteran of the sixties folk era who has recently branched out into more electric veins, as anyone who has heard his latest album knows. A delightful double-bill, for those who enjoy both excellent music and thought-provoking lyrics. In the beginning, there was the Allman Brothers Band, their nationwide appeal stemming from brother Duane's great guitar work. He played Blues at its best. Then Duane died; Greg got laid back; and southern rock was left in the hands of Capricorn Records in Macon, Georgia. Two of Capricorn's finest brought a little of Macon to the Brockport University gym on Thursday, Feb. 20, and they did it in hog-callin', pig-sloppin' fashion. Bonnie Bramlett started off the show a mere hour late. Bonnie's music is hard to describe. It's a combination of jazz-rock and Delta-blues, with the interesting addition of sax and trombone. Foxy Bonnie wiggled and Joplin-wailed her way through 45 minutes of southern funk and was generally well received by the crowd. But the surprising thunder of applause that greeted the Marshall Tucker Band seemed to dwarf Bonnie's acclaim | The Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and the Department of | Computer Sciences presents: Dr. Joseph Weizenbaum : * Professor of Computer Sciences M.l.T. |''Theories, Models IComputerPrograms" & i i The relationship between theories, models and models in Computer Programming will be explored.

I'm telling you can. when you stomp your feet to a hillbilly band. It's foot-stompin', hand-clappin', knee-slappin' kind of music. Want mellowness? I suggest Joni Mitchell. Cowboy rock Caldwell epitomizes what southern rock is all about. He has a limitless range combined with good taste. He stands up there in his cowboy hat and boots and lays down some outsrageous licks. Unfortunately, during his solos, the power of his blues guitar too often has the effect of losing the rest of the group, so that it seems like they aren't even playing. It is only when Caldwell and the rest of the band effectively utilize each other, that the band plays as well as it is capable of playing. What gives the Tucker Band their own unique sound is saxman and flutist Jerry Eubanks. From originally simply playing backup in the band, he has now emerged as a very creditable soloist. His country flute adds an extra dimension and compensates for the more traditional keyboard man, lacking in this group. Though the concert had its flaws, not the least of which were terrible acoustics (even for a gym), and a sound system that was all bass and no treble, Marshall Tucker made up for it and the lack of polish displayed on their albums with their sheer energy. In these times of other groups mellowing out or donning make-up and high-heels, it is good to know that at least the South and Marshall Tucker are still producing good hard rock-and-roll.

The group (formerly known as Buffalo Chips) has received widespread recognition throughout the U.S. and Canada. Buffalo Gals have made numerous radio and television appearances and have played a multitude of dubs and festivals during the past year. They received a standing ovation at the Philly Folk Festival when they played the main Saturday afternoon "Beauty and the Beast" concert with David Bromberg.

Tearing house down with innovative, traditional folk Old time traditionalists and all other musically inclined were delighted by the fine performances of both Stringband and Michael Cooney at last Friday and Saturday night's coffeehouses. Stringband, a Canadian group, captures the vitality and humor of old time music in their innovative versions of traditional tunes. They have achieved something rare; a sincere blending of old time styles with contemporary themes. Bob Bossin's crisp frailing on banjo, Marie Lynn Hammond's guitar work and Ben Mink's electric fiddle lend a unique interpretation to traditional tunes. The group is confortable performing an amzaing number of distinct styles, ranging from blues to French Canadian folk songs to American Indian chants to message songs. Marie Lynn Hammond and Bob Bossin wrote of the tunes they performed. The gently cynical “Did Vou Hear They Busted the Fiddle Player" and "Vancouver," a song about the desire to stay put, were especially fine. But by far the hit song of the evening was an answer to the women's view of beauty contests, called "Show Me the Length of many Your Cock," in which we are told "don't judge, lest we judge you." The versatile Michael Cooney opened his set with the sea shantie "Blow Ye Winds" on banjo. His repertoire consists of songs of the people: migrant farm workers. World War II soldiers, and children, as well as English and American traditional songs. Cooney excelled in the last set with several traditional songs. The audience enthusiastically participated in "All for Me Grg" and "New York Girls." He pulled out a hand-made fretless banjo (claiming it looked like something to be found in a museum or a Danish modern furniture shop) and played a delightfully obnoxious version of "Old Joe Clark." He followed with "Mole in the Ground" a southern mountain song in a modal tuning that conjured images in my mind of an evening on the back porch with banjo, family and friends. Cooney received a standing ovation and encored with a medley of popular songs of the turn of the century. Michael Cooney and Strlngband tore the house down Saturday night with a sell-out crowd.

Heading the cast is area professional actress Betty Lutes, who plays Minnie, mother of the Marx clan. The brothers are played by Dan Mink (Groucho), Michael Mesch (Chico), Matt Severyn (Harpo), Les Solomon (Zeppo) and Tom Callea (Gummo). The production incorporates many actual Marx Brothers' routines into the plot. Why a duck? ... Prodigal Su �'Flesh Gordon: anemia plus Porno films can be divided into two categories: hard-core and soft-core. Hard-core generally includes nothing but sex, while soft-core mixes the sex with a little story thrown in for good measure. These categories can be further divided by the effect the film has on an audience: fun, disgusting, so disgusting it's fun. Flesh Gordon does a balancing act between the first two categories and never touches upon the others. It's anemic. Rather closely based in the Flash Gordon serials of the late thirties and early forties, the film, in a smug prologue, states its goal as "adding the outrageousness of today" to the nostalgia, and goes further by dedicating Flesh Gordon to the orignal filmmakers. The gaunt plot is as follows: Sex is running rampant in America. This is the result of red rays being sent off the planet Porno by the evil Dr. Wang, whose people are engaged in a non-stop orgy. Flesh Gordon teams up with a fellow named Jerk-Off and Dale, a sweet young girl, and all three head for Porno in a phallus-shaped rocket to defeat Wang. Eventually Wang wants Dale for his bride, but, of course, doesn't get his wish. Porno and its people are destroyed and the team heads for earth. Nothing else happens except a few encounters with comical monsters (Penisaurus, etc.), a nude (except for T-shirts and pompoms) line of women cheerleading for Wang, and a young woman who, in her lust, gets the Magic Pasties lodged in the wrong place (the actress' comic sense saves this scene). All are what you'd call "fitfully amusing." The young director and writer do the usual young-director-and-writer homages (Melies, King Kong, The Wizard of Oz, etc.), but in this case the imitations are an excuse for the laziness and acute lack of imagination. The film has no style; visually and technically, it’s dead. Flesh Gordon wasn't exactly made on a shoestring (almost, but not exactly), and one can't help thinking of what Robert Altman (McCabe and Mrs. Miller) or Brian de Palma IPhantom of the Paradise ) could have accomplished with the same budget and, possibly, the same material. Stuart Rosenberg's The Laughing Policeman will be shown in the Norton Conference Theatre tonight, and it is suggested that anyone seriously interested in flawed art or good entertainment go see it. The movie was adapted from a Swedish detective novel and sometimes one has the feeling that the storyteller is a zonked-out Selma Lagerlof so has the film the quality of a dark fairy tale, set in a sunny/nightmare metropolis. The film has biases (gays, blacks) but if you can overlook these faults (Rosenberg has never been very intelligent in his handling of minorities) you'll find this tale of multiple murder, sleuthing and car chasing in a very dreamlike San Fransico a stunner. The film stars Walter Matthau and Bruce Dern. One remembers the original serial as a charming collage, filmed in golden black and white. To do with it what these filmmakers have done (at least Flash Gordon had the disadvantage of scientific naivete) sets movies back and that is disgusting. Flesh Gordon is currently being shown at the Kensington Theatre. —Dean Billanti — Funny, guaranteed success by Kevin Crane Spectrum Arts Staff The Niagara University Players presented the first in a two-year cycle of American plays in observance of the American bicentennial last Friday. You Can't Take It With You is directed by Brother Augustine Towey, C.M. The University Players consists of members of the University, students and non-students, who produce plays funded by donations and box office receipts. You Can't Take It With You was written by Moss Hart and George Kaufman and was first produced in 1936. It is the story of the Sycamores, a "ima Tr^sJk J 1-. /L - - "m- -\ ' . 'u. ■,FONG family which, under the influence of Grandpa Vanderhof, does only what it wants to do and only as much as it wants to. Penny, the mother, writes plays because eight years ago, a typewriter was delivered to the house by mistake. Meanwhile, Paul, the father, works ail day and night making fireworks in the basement with Mr. DePinna, a delivery man who liked the Sycamores' lifestyle so much he wound up staying for ten years. — Abnormally funny Meanwhile, their daughter Essie practices ballet and makes candy, which her husband Ed delivers with little messages in the boxes like "God is the State, the State is God," which he finds in books and prints himself, when he's not playing the xylophone. The only "normal'' one is Essie's younger sister, Alice, who never brings her friends home for fear of what they'll think of her family. But now she is planning to become engaged to her boss' son, and is faced with the task of introducing the two families. That's the general direction of the play which, thanks to Kaufman's and Hart's writing, still manages to be funny despite its age. The lines are so well written that they'll be funny no matter who says them, so You Can't Take It With You is a natural choice for most amateur theatre groups or high school thespians who want a guaranteed success. Unfortunately, the result of such popularity is an overwhelming number of bad performances. Everyone knows where to laugh because the funny lines are said with the most emphasis, or while the actor is speeding out of the room. People have reason to cringe when they read that You Can't Take It With You is being put on again. However, as much as you may have disliked Prodigal Sun the Village Green Theatre Group's production, if you want to understand why Kaufman and Hart wrote this play, the N.U. Players are the ones to see. The set and costumes are surprisingly good, especially considering the budget Brother Towey had to work with. The lighting, while simple, is very effective (for example, the overhead beam on Grandpa Vanderhof when he talks to "the man upstairs"). The pace of the play is a bit slower than in other productions, which allows the audience to hear each line before they laugh at it. The acting is good for the most part, though it's here that the production's flaws poke through. One of the driving forces of the play and of the Sycamore family is Penny. While Grandpa provides the philosophy, it is Penny Sycamore who really epitomizes what he says, and at the same time, sets the example that the rest of the family follows. In the course of the first act, everyone introduces himself and what he's into at that time. The important thing is that they all present it through Penny. She is onstage typing when Essie rushes in to show her new ballet step, when Paul comes up from the basement to demonstrate his newest firecracker, etc. Penny, in turn, informs them of which play she's currently working on. They are, in effect, reinforcing each other. Disturbingly real But Cecilia Buckley as Penny never really looks up from her plays to see what everyone else is so excited about. Anyone who's ever been a little kid knows the difference between "that's nice" meaning "I really like it" and "that's nice" meaning "Mother's busy, dear, go play." The beauty of the Sycamores is that they're all doing what they want, which makes them a happy, together family. Perhaps Ms. Buckley's Penny is too "realistic." John Overbeck as Grandpa Vanderhof seems to have the right idea. He is perfectly at ease with Grandpa's thinking, letting the lines come out by themselves without making it a point to say them. Grandpa commands the stage when he is explaining why he does what he does, moving along at his own leisurely pace. Once you get used to his obvious aging, he is a sheer pleasure to watch. Equally excellent are Brother Martin Schneider, Paul Sycamore, the father, and Joe Temperate as Donald. Their performances are consistent from start to finish. When they are on stage, you tend to forget you're watching a play. C.M. as None of their lines are forced or misunderstood. They too come and go at their own paces, taking the time to be aware of the people around them. Also noteworthy are Ray Tamborini and Cathy Falcone who, as the young lovers, wisely resist the temptation to deliver their melodramatic lines melodramatically, and Rhonda Dyess and Bob Kazeangin, whose caricatures can only be described as beautiful. As for the rest of the cast, the acting was good, but sometimes plagued by the tendency to come alive only on cue or to push the lines too hard; problems which I'm sure will work themselves out in time. No performance was bad; it just seems a shame to have such serious flaws in an otherwise expert production. On the whole, the Niagara University Players' production of You Can't Take It With You is an enjoyable way to spend an evening, especially at a time when good live comedy is so rare. It will be playing tonight, tomorrow and Sunday at Niagara University's Clet Hall. Reservations can be made by calling 285-1212. Tall blonde man On Saturday and Sunday, the film will be The Tall Blonde Man with One Black Shoe. It is hysterical! Filmed in French (subtitled), it transcends all national boundaries with its spirited, romantic story of love, classical music and spys. Sure, it sounds dumb, but it's not rather, it's an intricately-plotted, contageous comedy. This weekend, the midnight show tonight and tomorrow is Pound, directed by Robert Downey. —Dean Billanti ... ; —Jay Boyar n Uli i « by Israel Friedman This is the first in what I hope will be a series of articles designed inform those of you to whom Buffalo seems devoid of nightlife just where the entertainment is, and to show that there really is an alternative to staying on campus and watching films every evening. These articles won't be hype sheets, merely singing the praises of certain bars and entertainers in this town, nor will they render free publicity to various club owners and musicians. The Central Park Grill, or CPG as it's commonly called, is located on Main and Rodney, just a few blocks south of Fillmore. The CPG is run by Bob Brown, who wants to offer people a place to play their music. This man is open, honest and really sincere. We talked of several things, and we both agreed on the need for a recording studio of high caliber in this city and felt it was time Buffalo had one. There's a pool table and pinball games here, but what I wish to relate concerns the live entertainment. First a word about Mike Catalano, who's been playing guitar and singing for almost as long as I can remember. He's what I like to consider Buffalo's singer in residence. Like a good wine, Mike gets better with time. Name just about any song and chances are he can do it, and do it well. But what makes the songs always sound new and refreshing rather than simply rehashes of old familiar tunes is the personal interpretation and feeling he is able to bring to all the songs he does. However for me, the highlight of the night came when a lady I'd never heard before got up to do her first set that night. The audience all seemed to be aware that something special was about to take place. I quickly got a confirmation of my reading of the crowd when Linda Namias started playing her guitar and singing her songs. The only word that comes to mind to describe her sound is thrilling. Here is a lady that can really play the guitar. I'm not referring to simply playing accompanying chords, but really picking some clean licks, riffs and notes. Although reluctant to use all the superlative cliches always being tossed around in music reviews, they easily could apply here. The music is Delta blues influences, and Linda herself mentions that one of her favorites is Robert Johnson (long known as one of the early blues leaders). A good means of judging the effectiveness of a performer, especially in a bar, is to look around to see how many people are actually paying attention to the performance in progress. If the room is fairly quiet that's saying something right there. Linda not only had everyone listening, she seemed to have everyone practically spellbound. Next time you've got a notion to step out for a little excitement, you might want to keep the Central Park Grill and Mike and Linda in mind. There's live entertainment there Monday—Thursday. Sunday nights feature Sittin-ln sessions from 1-3 a.m., when everyone is invited to come up and play. The people are friendly, the prices affordable, and the music always first rate. to Next issue: Country and Western music in the West. (West side of Buffalo, that is.)

In between Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to you" and "High Heeled Sneakers," two excellent pieces, is "South of the Border," a cruddy 1950's tune which Chuck struggles through with a Mexican accent. Side two starts off just as poorly as its predecessor, with "You Are My Sunshine," another traditional piece that really wasn't written with rock and roll in mind. But that's the last taste of garbage the album has to offer. The remaining songs are blends of country and western and Chicago blues, whiph Chuck handles rather well. "Baby, What Do You Want Me To Do," features Chuck's daughter, Ingrid Gibson on lead vocals. Ingrid does a great job instrumental with this song, but doesn't come which is the album's there's "Deuce," close to realizing the potential of high point.

The album could have been so much smoother had Berry headed in the same direction through the album's entirety. I think that if the "great granddaddy of rock and roll" could let go of rock for good, and get himself back to the blues (where his roots are), he'd come off with a solid piece of work.

February 1975 3.197s VjBUvn'i �Loudon Wainwright III, Unrequited (Columbia) AARGH. Hangover city., I should be sleeping. Why do I have to do this review, anyway? Because it's my duty? Because of the measly stipend I get for doing this thankless job? Because I don't want the day to be a total waste? No, actually, it's because, being the wonderful person I am, I just had to let you all know about the great new album Loudon Wainwright III has put out. Loudon has long had the reputation for being "folk's resident misanthrope." (Thank you. Bill M„ for the phrase.) Well, the satiric lyrics are still there, but Unrequited is the farthest departure Loudon has yet taken from the simple acoustic genre he began in. Luckily, the result is not a commercial cop-out; rather, it's a long-awaited expansion of a songwriting and performing talent that has always had the potential to adapt to many different kinds of treatments. The opener, "Sweet Nothings," immediately lets you know what you're in for. Replete with a funky drum beat, wah-wah guitar, organ and echo chambers, this slick number is bound to send the RECORDS "Kings and Queens" is a country foxtrot with melancholy fiddle and clarinet tracks that makes you feel like a dancehall at 3 a.m.; "Crime of Passion" is a wonderfully murky tune whose throaty organ, sax and eerie fiddle solo place you in the middle of some kind of perverted grade B Italian flick: When my soul has fled Keep my carcass in your bed: Hard times ration. And for old time's sake, there's "Absence Makes just Loudon and an the Heart Grow Fonder" acoustic guitar. The song succeeds with the help of Kate (his wife) and her sister, Anna McGarigle, whose back-up harmonies are heartrendingly beautiful. Side two was recorded live at the Bottom Line in New York; if you've ever seen him live you can envision his antics as you listen along. If not, you get a chance to at least hear a typically energetic and — zany performance. Some people consider Loudon crazy, but there is a method to his madness. I'm told he studied acting at Carnegie Tech. It stands him in good stead every song is another personality, another routine. But he's more than a stand-up comic. With just his simple guitar accompaniment, he manages to hold and entertain the crowd, and no wonder; virtually every song on this side is a gem. On "Guru," for example, he briefly becomes Al ("down in Southern California, yessir!"). Jolson In "The Untitled," or "The Hardy Boys at the Y," he's an English balladeer with a modern love song to sing. (This quote picks up the thread as we find Frank and Joe washing each other off after their — — workout.) folkies running to check the label. Although I was so shocked by it the first time that I couldn't really enjoy it, on repeated listenings, it became more and more enjoyable, and I soon realized how perfectly this arrangement compliments the feeling of the lyrics. Wainwright has a lot of Woodstockian friends and neighbors helping out on this venture, from Jon Hall to Harvey Brooks to Freebo to Richard Greene to George Gerdes on the musician end to others in the production phases; but it says produced by Loudon, and even if it didn't, I would give him credit for the concepts. Every song on side one has a different feel, and they are all so tastefully done that each cut is a new delight. "Lowly Tourist," for instance, is a reggae tune, sung in a droll Jamaican accent, setting forth the plight of the poor New Jersey man vacationing in the Caribbean; Oh / am a lowly tourist and sometimes feel so / low At the duty free they laugh at me and they treat me like a schmoe Sure they take my money and sometimes they even smile But in a local pub or restaurant feel like I'm on trial. / Harvey Mandel, (Chess/Janus) The Best of Harvey Mandel For the last five or six years, fans of rock music have been increasingly subjected to the rantings of musicians suffering from Claptonitis, a disorder which makes the musician try to sound like another musician. Although it is by no means restricted to guitar players, nor are they restricted to copying Eric Clapton; I choose the name because he is, by far, the most common cause (witness Mick Taylor, Dave Mason, etc.). What, you may ask, does all this have to do with Marvel Mandel? Very little! Despite the fact that Mandel has played with John Mayall, he suffers very little (if at all) from the aforementioned complaint. Even touring for some time with Canned Head didn't turn him into a boogie man. In fact, The Best of Harvey Mandel is a very refreshing album, and Harvey is a very refreshing guitarist. Although Mandel has been recording albums since 1968, he hasn't sold an enormous number. However, this really is a "best of" album in the sense that each of the ten tracks is worthwhile, the record company choosing judiciously from his albums and omitting the more monotonous of his "greatest hits." The songs here reflect many different styles, ranging from funk to jazz to space-rock. Although his singing leaves a little to be desired, the musicianship is excellent, and most of the album is instrumental anyway. If you don't think you would like an album that is all guitar solos, listen to Prodigal Sun To Frank's request Joe did agree With a Times Square sleazy smile The gaping mouths of wash tub jocks Could not cramp Joe's style Fondling done with soaped up hands Can indeed beguile It was Greek to them and they came again Thrashing on cold tile, on cold tile. To which Loudon adds, in an affected tone, "It was fabulouth." most Unrequited is a good title for this album of the songs deal with that theme, from "Unrequited to the Nth Degree" in which he threatens suicide as a means of getting back at the girl who jilted him, to "Kick In the Head," about a painful traingle, to "Whatever Happened to Us" ("we missed the proverbial boat/ The train and the plane and the — — bus"). Loudon's lyrical trademarks are cynicism, sarcasm and humor, and the lyrics on this album are no exception. However, most people never look behind the laughs. Underneath them dwells love and sensitivity, pain, frustration and bitterness. They say Mark Twain was a frustrated revolutionary who painted himself into the corner of having to mask his sentiments with jokes. There are a few serious songs on Unrequited, but listening to them, one has the uncomfortable sensation of waiting for the punch line, of wondering where the joke is. Unrequited is not only light years better than Attempted Moustache, his last attempt, but is also an important step in Wainwright's development as an artist. With the wide world of production opening up in front of him, who knows what he'll do? Only time right now. Unrequited is a winner that'll will tell keep me content for quite a while. Willa Bassen Hudson-Ford, Free Spirit (A&M Records) Rock groups have a tendency to split and form new unities like amoebas gone mad with subdivision. The particular case in point refers to Hudson-Ford. These two English lads were originally tethered to the Strawbs until a year or two ago, when they broke free to inaugurate their own musical enterprise. Hudson and Ford share with their parent group, the Strawbs, a predominance of keyboard work which is evidenced throughout their new disc Free Spirit. But unfortunately, where the Strawbs had the talent of the likes of Rick Wakeman and an ability to translate the keyboard meanderings into a pleasing blend, Hudson-Ford comes off like an Edsel. Free Spirit is the new entry into the never ending pop sweepstakes chase for success. The album teeters between inspired mediocrity at its hlghpoints, and a soporific daze when it lulls into the doldrums as is only too frequent. The problems are multifold. As mentioned earlier, the keyboard playing sounds more often than not as if someone is either pouring cement or oatmeal down your ear canals. The tunes frequently bog down, snarled and brought to halts due to factors such as third-rate melodies and aimless, sluggish musical motifs. The vocal ramblings of Hudson and Ford border too closely on a weak, nasal resonance. In instances where their vocals demand power and punch, they reply with a metallic flatness. This limey duet would do well to take a few lessons from the Yankee twosome of Hall and Oates, whose vocal phrasings routinely reach heights that Hudson and Ford are incapable of dreaming of, let alone reproducing. The lyrical content of the songs are overburdened with intolerable fluff and maudlin sentiments. Their absence of substance combined with a severe paucity of musical titillation engenders a terminal ennui. The only cut which semi-generates any semblance of creativity is "Floating in the Wind." But even this song is good primarily because of the dismal company it keeps. Perhaps Hudson-Ford's "I Don't Want To Be A Star" bespeaks a truth, but a richer truth is revealed by the fact that with this tedium posing as entertainment, they never need fear being celebrities. The keynote of this record is boredom. If you haven't been getting your fair share lately, pick up the new Hudson-Ford offering. Otherwise, Free Spirit is just too much of a conventional dullard. C.P. Farkas — — — — this one anyway. Backing is provided by a conglomeration of various studio musicians (Sugarcane Harris and Larry Taylor among them), though none are credited on the album cover. A string section, playing a rock accompaniment, is employed on two cuts ("Midnight Sun" and "Baby Batter"), and a full orchestra and female chorus are used on "Cristo Redentor," which sounds something like a movie love theme. "Shangrenade" and "Babt Batter" are both excellent jazz pieces, featuring some nice piano work. Bassist Victor Conte wrote "What The Funk," which is self-explanatory, and very good at that. "Feel The Sound" shows moderate soul-jazz influence, features a wild overdubbed guitar solo (duet?), and is probably the only cut you will ever hear on the radio. Mandel's guitar work is outrageous. Although some of the older cuts show a less developed style, the newer material shows an unmistakably unique one. He gets a very distinctive sound out of his guitar; heavy sustain and distortion, yet very clean at the same time. This, along with his playing style, has earned Mandel a nickname, "The Snake," and listening to his music convinces one of its appropriateness. So, if you like Harvey Mandel, or if you like guitar players that don't sound like other guitar players, or, if you like jazz-rock that doesn't sound like Chick Corea, buy it. -John Duckman Friday, 28 February 1975 .

I am un-running on the ticket of the Apathetic Party, the most powerful apolitical disorganization on campus. It is this party, you will remember, that un-cast approximately 89 percent of last year’s votes for Frank Jackalone who consequently took office carrying all the stakes, and supported by nearly 11 percent of the student population, which is, for the record, merely 40 percent short of a majority. It was this same party, the Apathetic Party, that more recently un-voted to retain the manditory fee. Even though the number of people voting against the manditory fee, and the number of people voting for Mr. Jackalone last year were nearly the same, it is still useless to oppose the power of the ApatheticParty, which easily carried the referendum with a sizable 73 percent of the vote. With my name un- on the ballot this year, I am appealing to the ten thousand apathetic students on this campus to un-vote for me, and to un-elect me SA President. I can assure my un-supporters that, if un-elected, I un-promise to return most of your $67 and to pocket the rest ($67 can go a long way see you in Reno).

For the past five years the Student Association of the State University has been trying to build strength and support throughout the SUNY system. This support can only be gained through a widespread knowledge of what SASU is and what it can do for every student in the SUNY system. The Spectrum has repeatedly made SASU a third or fourth page story, and has refused to cover three SASU elections properly. In Monday’s The Spectrum there were no statements by SASU delegates. An interview arranged by The Spectrum with the and candidates was therefore no cancelled, endorsements can be made. Mr. Colucci (Feb. 24) blames the lack of candidates in this week’s election on the fact that “SASU delegates can’t help their pet interest groups much, nor can they impress people with their office.” Mr. Colucci, we feel that we are unopposed because 95 percent of the students at this University said “SASU WHO” when they heard about the elections. Unless The Spectrum recognizes that $9000 of student fees and many hours of student work are making SASU a powerful spokesman and lobbyist for SUNY students, our money and interest are in vain. SASU currently has a membership of 28 out of 30 SUNY centers, colleges, agricultural and technical schools, specialized colleges and graduate schools. These 174,000 students do have a say in what goes on in the SUNY system. The Spectrum was kind enough to include Dan Kohane’s comments in the article on proposed dorm rent hikes (Feb. 24) but neglected to mention that SASU had organized two busloads of students to picket Tuesday’s meeting of the Board of Trustees in New York City. IS STUDENT ACTIVISM COMING BACK? SASU SAYS YES TO PEACEFUL AND ORGANIZED PRESSURE. SASU also says yes to lobbying with legislators in Albany. Some issues right now are: 1. Provide for voting student membership on all govenring boards. 2. Rollback SUNY Tuition to register and vote in 4. Exempt textbooks from state sales tax 5. Eliminate or restrict uses of state aid to private colleges. There are an additional twenty or more issues being worked on right now. SASU’s past lobbying efforts have been very successful for such a young organization. SASU saved SUNY students $8 million dollars when the Tuition Assistance Program was instituted. Aside from SASU’s lobbying, numerous services are available to all SUNY students. The most widely used are Life Insurance, Tuitibn Term Insurance, Personal Property Insurance and Purchase Power, an organization that refers its members to low cost outlets for items such as stereos and cars. To use this service or get more information about these and other SASU services, come up to Room 205 Norton. The information service of SASU is rapidly growing. If a student wants any information on a program, activity, or policy of any other SUNY school, SASU will have it on file or will readily obtain it. Block booking and the statewide University ID are almost to the point of enactment. Block booking enables four or five universities to contract dates for« one artist, thereby increasing our bargaining power and decreasing costs. The Statewide ID allows a student to use his ID at any other State University for activities on that campus. We think SASU has a lot to offer. As SASU delegates, we pledge to: 1. Advertise SASU on campus 2. Gain the recognition of our campus newspapers, students, and administrators 3. Work within SASU to improve the programs already offered and expand SASU’s horizons. We sincerely hope that over the next few months The Spectrum will help us to make SASU more visible on campus and we hope that the students will take advantage of what SASU has to offer. Janice Garver Melanie Burger Neil Seiden Frank Jackalone 26-year occupation The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. 62 Support SASU To the Editor This is a short answer to Neil Bluestein’s letter that appeared in The Spectrum of Feb. 19. When you say that Zionism isn’t racist you are changing the real concept of Zionism. In “Israel” itself there is a distinct difference between the Eastern Jews and the Western Jews. Israel is under complete control of the Western Jews, who have decided how the Palistinians should live. Their homes have been destroyed, whole villages have Incompetent Post disappeared (Yallo, Em was, Alkaramah and many others), and the Inhabitants have been scattered throughout the area. Fatherless children and children whose fathers are missing in exile have never known a real “homeland.” In reference to the long history you claimed to have, which long history are you talking about? Do you mean the 26 years of occupation is a long history?? Abed Musallam Office To the Editor This letter is sent as a complaint on the new Post Office facilities in Norton Hall. I am not at all familiar with postal rates or procedures but I’ll tell you my experience with them and let you judge as to their competence. I was returning some merchandise that I had previously received by mail. The original cost of mailing was 34 cents. It would only be expected that it would cost the same amount to mail it back. They quoted a figure of +1.10 postage to mail this item. I took it back and instead went to a regular U.S. Post Office (Amherst Station). They charged me 34 cents. I tried again at another time and for a different package and again another outrageous price was quoted for which again the Post Office charged me much less. I think we need an investigation as to the competence of these employees. A short course in proper postage might be in order.

The women, all phone installers, were demoted to clerical jobs early in January, because they did not have as much seniority as their male counterparts. According to a contract negotiated with the Communication Workers of America (CWA) the phone company agreed to demote and fire workers on the basis of seniority last hired, first (EEOC) in 1973 which required Bell to hire more women into upper-level craft and management jobs. At the time of the agreement, the EEOC had called AT&T “without a doubt the largest oppressor of women workers in the United States.” The CWA, for its part, has been fighting the government—Bell agreement ever since its signing. “A basic principle of trade unionism in this country is seniority,” said a local spokesman for the CWA. “The consent decree is eliminating seniority in promotion and advancement.” Although a case involving the Bell system has never reached the courts, the decision in other recent affirmative action vs. seniority suits have been Just as its forced desegregation According to the women, however, this contract spurred other corporations to affirmative action, the violated the consent agreement signed by AT&T and Bell case is expected to decide the issue, but the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission probably not before it goes to the Supreme Court. — fired. contradictory. Undergrad Geography A recent national survey showed a four percent increase in high schools participating in the 20 year-old national Advanced Placement (AP) program. Under the AP system, high school students may receive college credit for “advanced” courses taken in high school. The Board cites an increase of eleven percent in the number of students involved and a jump of twelve percent in the amount of examinations taken. Students who took/ Advanced Placement courses and entered college last fall saved an average of $400 in higher education costs, according to college board estimates New York was the leading state in the nation in AP participation in 1974 with 541 high schools and almost 14,000 students involved. Harlan Hanson, AP director for the College Entrance Examination Board, estimates that AP students save as much as $24 million nationwide and state students are likely to save about $5,346,000 in college fees. At present, AP is offered to only about 15 percent of the high schools in the country and slightly more than 15 percent of all eligible students. Hoping to increase contact An attempt to meet the need for increased contact among undergraduate geography majors, graduate students and faculty members will be made by the new Undergraduate Geography Organization (UGO). “There has been a general feeling for the last year that there hasn’t been enough interaction between geography students, so a group got together and began the UGO,” said co-president Mike McC umber. UGO members hope to sponsor social events, such as beer blasts and wine tasting parties, invite experts to speak on topics in geography, and sponsor field trips which may include mine tours and naturalism trips. Because the differences in the two major fields of geography arc great, the UGO members fell a single president could not represent the interests of all members. Mr. McCumber is mainly interested in Human Geography, which concerns itself with the sociological and economic impact of geography. Bob Bachman, the other co-president, concentrates on Physical Geography, which deals with (he geological aspects of geography. The UGO is planning a newsletter and film series. The films will be divided evenly between technical subjects and movies which will interest the general public. The UGO is open to all students. Anyone interested may attend its next membership meeting on Thursday, February 27 at 3;30 p.m. in Room 266 Norton Hall.

Some have insisted that integration meant cultural genocide for the native Americans. Others believe Indian culture should be retained, that their artifacts, history and customs should be preserved. Both regard education as the solution. Education is viewed as the transmission of behavioral patterns, technology, art and language. According to those opposed to western education, a true Indian education can never be achieved in public schools. “It is extremely difficult'to maintain a culture without territory,” explained John Mohawk, initiator of a native American studies program. He explained that Indians can be taught only on home ground, where the subjects would be the essentials of life agriculture, home-bpilding, language, religion and government. Basket weaving, for example, would be taught, because baskets are essential to the Indian way of life, he said. It is important that a cooperative relationship with the land and its other inhabitants also be taught, he added. “The only way that there will be an actualization of Indian culture, is if the people of that culture have access to a land base,” Mr. Mohawk added. - Reestablish culture He cited Eagle Bay as an example of Indian education and communication. According to a treaty signed in 1797, New York State purchased two million acres from the Mohawk Indians through their agents. The Mohawks, however, have since claimed that this deal was fraudulent. The case has been taken to court several times. In May, 1974, they occupied the land in an attempt to “reestablish the culture.” Many native Americans dissatisfied with western schools claim they transmit racist policies and spread cultural antagonism. They claim that Indian children are drawn away from their communities to attend the schools, producing a social identity crisis and leaving a lifelong effect Supporters of pure Indian culture say the western schools socialize -Indian children by teaching them competition; and that competition is deadly to a tribal existence. However, other native Americans feel that in order to succeed in western society, one Indian child must study western culture and be “socialized.” They consider this knowledge one of the essentials of survival and say it is necessary to know how to teach a class, go to court, or lobby in Washington. They also say it is necessary to have native American professionals represent and serve other native Americans. Several Indian students interviewed stated that they attended college because “our parents wanted us to.” Progressive? “We must employ all the tools that the western world has developed,” said Arliss Barss, counselor at the University’s Equal Opportunity Center. She called herself a “progressive Indian” who believes in some traditional ways. “If you don’t know your own identity, you can’t blame the white world for that, or the environment,” she continued, blaming this identity crisis on parents. “I applaud the state and the educational system for teaching, what Mama and Papa did not.” Bob St. Arnold, a liasion officer at the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), agrees ihat western education has had an important purpose. Having attended a BIA school 15 years ago, he disagrees that white teachers are hazardous to the integrity of Indian culture. “Who did we have educated to teach Indians?” he asked. Explaining the interaction between the students and teachers, he said, “We related to them,” adding that several BIA schools have large Indian staffs. A native American student here concurred “You can’t have one without the other,” referring to Indian and western education Culture and education Donna Hill, an aide to the Indian Education Project, claimed that Indian children are learning more about their culture now. "When I was in grade school, I didn’t know anything about the culture.” Ron La France, research information specialist for the Indian Education Project, agreed. “Parents feel that the children must have a 200 percent education, because we live in two worlds. Otherwise they will be frustrated.” This represents the view that Indian culture must survive in a western society. Mr. La France remembered being ostracized, by the other, more Westernized, Indian children in the BIA schools for carrying out traditional customs. “A lot of people went into binding into the dominant society,” he said. “It must be one hell of a head trip to hide your identity.” TOMORROW NIGHT m UUAB Music Committee proudly presents ANOTHER IN R SERIES OF SPECTACULAR SHOWS!

South African Ambassador R.F. Botha told the U.N.

In keeping with this goal, South African blacks are already enjoying improved pay scales, health care, education and social amenities, according to some political observers. They are now allowed to ride the same busses as whites and dine at the same restaurants, although many blacks shy away from these opportunities because of the intense hostility they encounter. A central complaint of various African states against South Africa is its illegal occupation of the territory of Southwest Africa, a land rich in several profitable minerals and inhabited solely by black tribesmen. Mr. Botha declared, “The South African government has always recognized that Southwest Africa has a distinct international status. We have no designs on it.” He went on to say that Southwest Africa may achieve a measure of self-rule within ten years. Africans have also accused South Africa of plotting with racist Rhodesia to repress its black insurgents. Mr. Botha allowed that his country is doing its utmost to prevent civil hostilities in — — - . Rhodesia. Although most observers felt that the ambassador’s words were just that words they have admitted that their mere utterance indicates a meaningful new trend. One African delegate noted, “At least our joint indignatibn has stirred South Africa to think about reform, jf only for purposes of self-perservation.” — — Priorities have said. “Some Saigon say he has been assassinated by the Thieu government; others say he is being held and tortured at Con Son Island or the National Police Headquarters.

Political prisoners When a Catholic Bishop from Detroit visited South Vietnam, in investigate mid- 1 973 to that the Thieu allegations government was holding and torturing political prisoners, he said he “instinctively wanted to believe that we and our allies don’t do things like that.” After the visit, Bishop Thomas J.

The Accords “prohibit all and of reprisal discrimination against individuals or organizations that have collaborated with either side” and insure freedom of speech, acts press, meeting and organization. Food If the exact number of political prisoners is in doubt, the extent of American involvement isn’t. Sen. Edward M.

Basketball: February Rochester — — Up for pins Wrestling Bulls set for NCAA regional by Lynn Everard Staff Writer Spectrum This weekend the Wrestling Bulls travel to Penn State for the NCAA eastern qualifying tournament. The top three wrestlers in each weight class plus five outstanding wrestlers will represent the region at the national championships at Princeton in mid-March. The Bulls already have a state championship and a 14-3-1 dual meet record to look back on. And although past-season competition is much tougher, Buffalo has a trio of wrestlers with a good chance of distinguishihg themselves at the national level. Seniors Jim Young, Emad Faddoul and Charlie Wright have been almost flawless all season and represent the Bulls’ hopes for national recognition. Young defeated Young finished his dual meet season undefeated (18-0-0) and then went on to win the state championship in the 134 lb. class. Jim is also one of the originators of the Students for the Future of Athletics (SFA) movement on campus. “Politics has not interfered with my wrestling but it has interfered with my overall education,” Jim said about his newest time commitment. Other wrestlers have become involved in SFA, and Coach Ed WHght supports their effort, acknowledging that his athletes have been very instrumental in the movement to maintain dignity and pride in the athletic program. “I think it’s a shame that at a time like this when my team should be directing all of its efforts into qualifying for the nationals, we still find ourselves embroiled in campus politics and the fight for the continuation of the program,” he added A swollen pinky, the result of a bore chip, might be Young’s biggest problem. “It will hopefully be ready,” Young said “If not I’ll wrestle anyway.” Emad Faddoul, also a state champ, has been a standout for the Bulls this year at 177. His only loss was to national ranked Joe Carr, brother and teammate of Olympian Jimmy Carr. Faddoul was less than overpowering last year. He blamed it on a lack of confidence. He claims this season’s improvement resulted from self confidence. “The difference between the winner and loser is all in the head,” he said. Wright in the clutch The big news from the wrestling mats this year was the clutch performance of Charlie Wright at heavyweight. His decision to wrestle heavyweight at the state tournament rather than 190, after going down to 190 in preparation, was a big surprise. Wright had trouble making the 190 lbs. standard, and was left in the bind of being too small for heavyweight and too big for 190 He plans to lose weight more gradually in preparation for the eastern regionals and doesn’t think it will be a problem. “You psych yourself up for a match not for a weight,” he said. Wright’s dramatic wins pulled out many a match this season and amazed the fans as well as the opposition. “The thought that I’ve come through for the team and beaten a lot of guys who thought they could take me has made my season,” Charlie said. In Tuesday's basketball romp over Rochester, the Bulls were led by sophomore forward Mike Jones who is pictured above in an intrasquad scrimmage. Jones poured in 30 points and added 17 rebounds as Buffalo Yellow Jackets, 81-62. went on to defeat the Best performance Bulls rout Yellow Jackets “1 was just trying to box him oat,” said Pellom. “On every shot, I looked for him to box him out. It was easy to get the rebound. He didn’t even push.” (Pellom also blocked six shots.) by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer There is something about Rochester that brings out the best in Buffalo basketball. For the second year in a row, the Bulls puf. together their best Jones stars Buffalo continued to play “musical high scorer.” Mike Jones lead the way this time with 30 points. Buffalo has not had a consistent offensive performer all year, but they have compensated for it by coming up with a different offensive hero each game. “I was shooting good,” Jones said. “When I shoot good, I get more confidence, and when I get more confidence, I play better.” Mike also had 17 rebounds With Jones and Pellom leading the way, Buffalo broke away from Rochester, scoring 18 consecutive points and putting the game, which had been close at halftime, out of reach. Richardson emptied his bench with seven minutes remaining. “We’ve got some young men who finally blended together,” said Richardson, repeating an old theme of his. “I think we’ll still have to wait until the end of the season before we evaluate them. But we’ve come a long way.” Buffalo takes on Pittsburgh tomorrow night at the Aud. performance of the season against the Yellowjackets. The result: an 81-62 rout. The Bulls arc now 8-15. Before the game, the question was whether Buffalo’s center. Sam Pellom, could contain Rochester’s Damian Upson, who is 25 lbs. heavier. “The way he (Buffalo coach Leu Richardson) was talking about his (Upson). I thought he was a superman.” said Pellom, an impressionable freshman. As it turned out. the question was could Upson contain Pellom, and if he could, when would he start? The Rochester star, who had been averaging over eleven rebounds a game, was held to just wo by Pellom. Sam pulled down 26 of his own. just six short of the school record. Dee-fense Buffalo began the game in their usual 2-3 zone defense, but when Upson scored two quick baskets, the Bulls switched to a 2-1-2. giving Pellom the job of guarding the big Yellowjacket. After that, Sam controlled the backboards, leading an incredible 90-30 team rebound advantage.

The Spectrum, as well as the Athletic Department’s own sports information office, was not satisfying their need for publicity and promotion. Buffalo swimming Coach Bill Sanford beat them to the idea. He came to the conclusion two months ago that I wasn’t giving his team enough space, (How was I to know they were going to be good for the first time ever? I figured it would be an act of mercy to give the swimmers as little publicity as possible.) He sought to rectify his problem by writing his own newsletter. It’s called Natatorium. Generally, Natatorium has reported the teams results, bragging about their record breaking performances, and how good the team has gotten. Sanford has written books before, but his journalism is less than polished and makes no pretense at being impartial. However, as in most everything he does, he pulls it off with such wit and charm that one really doesn’t mind the flaws. But lately the Natatorium has gotten political and it’s last issue (dated February 24) reflects the sentiment of not only the proud coach that Sanford has always been, but unfortunately, the bitter old man he has become. The cover of the latest edition (see drawing) hardly scratches the surface of his feelings. Consider Natatorium ’s first paragraph. The ‘Think or Thwim’ as the saying goes Buffalo swimmers find themselves in this uncomfortable position as our ‘final’ swim season draws to a close. Winning the SUNY Center cross the campus today. It appears to be only a stopping place where one postpones the responsibilities of life.” Sanford can’t understand why some people don’t understand the value of this great experience. Sanford has been into swimming for a long time. He is the only coach the University has ever had. I like to joke and say that he built the pool, but the fact is that he did. (Clark’s pool was an addition to the building that Sanford supervised.) He is a past President of the National Coaches Association, and has been on the Rules Committee. He invented the scoring system used in diving competition. The man has a list of honors as long as your arm, matched only by his pride in his team and his sport. But in the last Natatorium, he gives it all up. “I’ve written to resign my own national positions throughout the world of swimming. For at the •wmmiivm vuwn t r**. %, iw A'* X *9 / — Swimming Championships at Albany, and at the same time floundering in the turbulent sea of campus destruction created by SA President Frank Jackalone which is aroused by Student Affairs whims of a few four year tenants, who could care less about a GREAT UNIVERSITY, a career has Coordinator Howard Schapiro.” ended.” Sanford goes on to criticize SA for its $54,000 Wait a second.

Finally, a few years ago, there was an attempt to end or severely the fighting. curtail NHL by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer Last year, the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL) won the Stanley Cup playoffs by intimidating their opponents. Although they were a good hockey club, the key to their success was their ability to instill fear into the other team by using violence on the ice. Players like Dave Schultz, who is now in his second consecutive of season record-breaking penalties, seem more concerned with Fighting than with playing hockey. “ inconvenient, but something people can tolerate,’.’ remarks Dr. Lester W. Milbrath, Director of the Social Science Reserach Institute, in interpreting the results of the trade-off do they go together? —continued Although Schultz and players like him have earned reputations as both fighters and as good hockey players, it is unfortunate that it is the fighting which makes them so appealing to the fans. Sticks and stones Hockey is undoubtedly the most physical professional sport today. Coaches encourage their players to give still checks as often as they can as long as they do it legally. This sort of brutal play often leads to a flaring of tempers, and an occasional brawl or two. The fans, however, seem not to be satisfied with a push or a punch. They dream about team-against-team rumbles every game, with no concern at all for goal-scoring or forechecking. Realizing that fights are what fans like, many teams have encouraged their players to get involved in altercations, hoping that increased punching Will lead to increased profits. This attitude led to bigger and bloodier battles in the last decade. - Right on Campbell! for Fortunately hockey, though, it looks like Campbell will have the last word. He has warned Schultz that he will be suspended for one, then two, then three games and so on for each time he gets involved in an overly rough fight. Campbell deserves high praise for this action. This type of cumulative punishment is needed to keep hockey players’ hands on their sticks instead of on each other. the Hopefully, commissioner will extend this penalty to other NHL rowdies. What about the fans? Tough. That’s what. The object of hockey is not to pull someone’s jersey over his eyes or to knock out whatever teeth he may have left in his mouth. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not a true hockey fan. There’s nothing wrong with a good fight occasionally, but the rash of ejections, increased and penalties, suspensions fight-associated injuries in recent years can only destroy the players’ physical health and the games’ fan appeal. No. 1 from page 24— perfect place to live. living ideal In visualizing conditions, people most often took into account the size and kind of community, the pace of life, the availability of nature and satisfying interpersonal relationships. At the same time, most wanted incompatible things. “For example,” said Mailbrath, “most people would like to have the beauty, quiet and slower pace of life,, of a rural area. But they said they’d like to have those conditions close to a larger city so they could take advantage of big-city offerings such as theaters, museums, restaurants and sports — Clarence Commissioner, Campbell, toughened the penalties and fines for fighting. But the wars raged on as furiously as ever. Dave Schultz stepped up his roughhousing this year, even though it meant increased penalty time and decreased effectiveness on the ice. He was even suspended by Campbell for several games, to yet his violence continues the delight of Flyer fans.

No. 61 SpECTI\UM State University of New York at Buffalo Wednesday, 26 February 1975 Election forum: SC ATE, commuters and sports by Clem Colucci Special Features Editor Student Association (SA) candidates squared off Monday in Haas Lounge in an election forum designed to give the students a chance to hear the candidates debate. Spokespersons for each party addressed the sparse crowd, rebutted their opponents’ statements, and answered questions. Michele Smith, Presidential candidate the Changes ticket spoke first. She pointed to the experience and expertise of people on her ticket. “A lot of us were involved in a lot of things this year,” Ms. Smith said. She castigated SA’s inaction on many issues: the time for adding courses was cut, room rent will be raised, required courses are being considered for freshman. “A lot of changes are going to occur at this University, and they’re changes for the worse,” Ms. Smith surmised. on She listed her party’s priorities, promising a revised SCATE (Student Course and Teacher Evaluation) by November. At the State University at Binghamton, the Student Association listed the seven worst teachers and now not one of them is teaching at the undergraduate level. “That is student power,” Ms. Smith said. Commuter aid She said the University was too dorm-oriented and her administration would provide services for commuters, including a 25 cent bus fare on NFTA (Niagara Frontier Transit Authority) buses. “This can be accomplished; it’s not an empty promise.”She summed up her party’s theme: “We’ve performed in the past, we can perform in the future.” Michael Levinson, Presidential cnadidate and sole member of the Indian Party, said, “We have three-quarters of a million dollars in activity fees and nothing happens here.” Outlining his program, Mr. Levinson would replace the current SA constitution with a course Government In Action that he would teach. Students in this course would work on different projects for academic credit. “Join the ruling class,” Mr. Levinson said. “The course is open.” He also proposed a food co-op for the first floor in Norton that would eventually — — be a superceded by World-Wide Supermarket on the Amherst campus open 24 hours a day. Students could escape the restrictions on mandatory fee guidelines by opening a student (stewdent) savings and loan association. The 34 year old sophomore also said he would revamp Sub-Board, changing the name to the Ishi-Kaballa College of Musical Knowledge and appointing Buckminster Fuller and Marshall McLuhan as honorary directors at $500 per diem salary and travel expenses. Mr. Levinson sopke of making the State University at Buffalo into a school with a world-wide reputation by his long-term projects and mentioned that he had signed a contract with Amherst cablevision (channel 5) to sing portions of his “Deuteronomy,” poem dusk-to-dawn which he eventually hopes to sing with the entire world watching. Smoke gets in your eyes Ira Kaplan, Vice Presidential Candidate of the Sunshine Party, gained notice by lighting a joint and passing it around during his talk. This reporter verified the authenticity of the alleged joint. Mr. Kaplan denounced Robert’s Rules of Order and said the past several student governments wanted everyone “to be orderly and do some pretty things.” He compared SA’s usual concerns with his tenure as a blackboard monitor. Mr. Kaplan said most discussion in the Student Assembly was on the level of “talking about how we can keep our erasers clean.” Steve Milligram, Presidential candidate of Rehibition/Student Government in Exile, said: “There’s a lot of cheap shit going on at this school.” He defined his ticket’s stance as anti-establishment, anti-administration, and anti-faculty. He turned part of his time over to the party’s candidate for Vice President for Sub-Board I, Inc., Drew Presberg. Mr. Presberg backed off slightly from the “party ideology” and discussed issues relating to Sub-Board. He cited ' the problems of Health Care and Scholastic Housing and said he would “fight like hell” to get the land held by FSA and Sub-Board sold so the interest on the estimated $2,000,000 that would result from the sale could go to Health Care and housing needs. —continued on page 6— New state financing guidelines may threaten construction here by Laura Bartlett Staff Writer Spectrum At least six construction projects planned for the North Campus could be threatened if the State Legislature adopts a proposal by Comptroller Arthur Levitt to impose a ceiling of $2 billion on the purchase of bonds to finance new capital construction throughout the State University of New York (SUNY). All construction in the SUNY system is funded by these bonds, which are financed by tuition monies collected at state colleges and universities. No tax dollars are used for construction. Major building projects such as the Albany Mall are also funded in this manner. Hardest hit would be emerging campuses at Purchase, Old Westbury and Utica-Rome, according to a spokesman for the Student Association of the State University of New York (SASU). He explained that these schools have presently been allocated funds only for the completion of one or two more buildings. Comment reserved John Telfer, vice president for Faculties Planning, declined comment because no specific legislation has yet been submitted to the legislature by Comptroller Levitt. But Mr. Telfer said SUNY has shown itself to be a “solid basis for bonding” in the past. A State Assembly spokesman also commented that SUNY has shown itself to be reliable and deserving of “good credit.” Comptroller Levitt has reportedly considered action of this nature for several years, and now appears ready to present his proposal to the legislature. He could not be reached in his Albany office for comment Monday. The SUNY budget for the coming fiscal year, recommended by Gov. Hugh Carey, allocated only 37 percent of the funds requested for Amherst construction. But the cut will not affect the construction schedule, according to a SUNY spokesman. “A lot of the cuts aren’t as bad as they look,” Dr. Neal said. “Some of the funds requested are re-allocations, and the Millersport Highway relocation project, $10 million by itself, was rejected but sent to the Department of Transportation. So it’s still getting done.” State legislatore G. James Fremming (D., Amherst) recently urged Gov. Carey to “speed up” construction at Amherst to beat inflation and the rising costs of construction. In a letter to Mr. Carey, Mr. Fremming discussed other benefits of quick completion of the North Campus, such as saving the $450,000 a year spent on busing students among the three campuses, and the $2.5 million yearly to rent temporary classrooms; an improved atmosphere, more conducive to learning; and possible part-time employment for area students. He also supported requesting additional funds needed for the concentrated construction from the State’s supplemental budget, to be adopted after the regular budget for the 1975-76 fiscal year is approved. Rejuvenation seen A spokesman for Mr. Fremming said the legislator believes his proposal will help “rejuvenate the economy” in Western New York and help allieviate the 25 percent in the area. The SASU spokesman, when asked about the 10-year lag in construction at the Amherst campus, and the threat of more delay if Comptroller Levitt’s proposal is passed, said: “We know what’s been happening in Buffalo, and we’re of course concerned about it, but the situation facing other places is much worse. There are students at the State University of New York at Utica-Rome but no buildings. Ground hasn’t been broken even for one structure. The students are meeting in a warehouse for unemployment rate — classes . . �Questions arise over ‘perm * course was denied admission to the course on the basis of a “priority list” that broadens the base of the President Robert Ketter has course by taking into account directed the Faculty-Senate to categories of status (blacks, investigate and define the proper working mothers, older women, guidelines for the “permission of sexual minorities, etc.).

There is a growing concern among college administrators that academic dishonesty is running rampant. They may be right. According to the Washington Post, nationally, rising to be “Cheating appears particularly in large public universities.” And although a 1964 survey found that schools which employ the honor system have the least amount of cheating, eleven years later, colleges which do employ the honor code have found that upwards of one-third of each class cheat. An outbreak of cheating has attacked a number of campuses. A special committee to study the honor code has been set up to deal with increased cheating at the University ofCalifornia at Davis. The law center at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. has gone so far as to revoke a law degree because of a cheating incident there and an F was given to another law student after a cut and paste job of plagiarism on a seminar paper.” The University of Florida’s honor court is presently dealing with an organized cheating ring involving 200 students and every department in the - College of Business Administration.

South Bend. “Grades are determined by the individual teacher. The grading policies of professors vary widely because of individual biases in teaching, learning and evaluating methods. The system of grading is so subjective that it doesn’t mean anything,” Nisenholtz went on to say. Motives “Like it or not, grades do matter,” commented Edward M. White, a professor at Cal State-San Bernardino. “Remember the draft and that the lower rates for driving insurance go to A and B students.” Most psychologists and school officials have agreed that the roots of cheating are in the elementary school system. A 1970 study by Leroy Barney revealed that 70 percent of all grade school children cheat. The study that children cheat to hide their found misunderstanding of the assignment, to prevent others from thinking they are stupid or to escape from trying to live up to unrealistic expectations. This trend is seen throughout the continuing educational careers of students, the study showed. A New York Times survey has found that this fearful obsession with grades has led to students sabotaging the work of others to improve their class standing. The survey also showed that students feel their grade equals their personal net worth. Ironically, the net worth of the grade itself has the recent been declining. Grade inflation employers to B’s has led of A’s and abundance resort to old job qualification standards. “Better a Princeton A than an A from a less familiar school,” said one admissions officer. Most piecemeal solutions to the present grading/cheating problem have met with limited success. Although the pass-fail system has been initiated at many colleges, it has come under attack because of some recent studies that claimed graduate and professional schools looked down on a transcript - - laden with 'pass’ grades. Some have said that one strategy might be to let grade inflation run its course. If grades become an ineffective means of evaluation, then a new system would have to be designed, they have reasoned. Educator William Glasser, author of Schools Without Failure, argued that the ultimate solution to cheating would be “a grading system which would not rate students against each other, thus eliminating the psychological factor of failure.” By reducing the stress of competition, said Glasser, cheating would also decrease. If those who side with Glasser are right, cheating will not stop until the motivations for cheating are eliminated and the root of the problem attacked.

In a recent memorandum to President Robert Ketter, McAllister Hull, dean of the Graduate School, various Department chairmen and the Steering Committee of the GSEU all voiced their “opposition to any cutbacks in the total number of staff lines allocated to graduate students.” They also expressed concern over the “loss of real wages due to inflation” and the lack of one membership member will be members. “I am very to two. increased happy with The to total FSA 19 from 15 the results.

Faculty representative Chester Kiser and Association (CSEA) Civil Service Employee representative Ed Dudek were both absent from the meeting, and did not submit a proxy vote, so only 13 were cast. Dr. Ketter then explained that it would be “inappropriate” for him to vote because Roberts Rules of Parliamentary Procedure says the chairman may vote “only if it will make or break a tie.” • SA Executive Vice President Scott Salimando challenged Dr. Ketter’s interpretation of the parliamentary rule, citing another rule allowing the chairman to vote “if the result will effect the outcome” of the vote. After a few seconds of silence, Dr. Ketter accepted Mr. Salimando’s interpretation and voted in favor of the amendment. Absent Ed Doty, ESA treasurer, would not comment on the outcome of the vote. Despite his well-known opposition to increasing student membership on the ESA, he said in a telephone interview with The Spectrum Monday that because of his absence from the meeting, he was not familiar with the contents of the amendment. Copies of the amendment, however, were distributed to all members of the ESA by mail 10 days before the meeting. ESA Secretary Charles Balkin cast a negative vote in proxy for Mr. Doty.

The suite h'ejongs to Nan Booton, head resident of Clinton Hall. She, along with a friend, Steve Lucev, her two children, ages 11 and 14, and another dorm resident, Warren Debaney, were the victims of the attack. Ms. Booton told Campus Security officers that two men, described as black, thin, one about 6 3 , the other about 5’7”, entered her suite through an unlocked door. Tied up They forced Ms. Booton and Mr. Lucev to lie on the bed and ties their hands together, then taking Mr. Lucev’s wallet and demanding Ms. Booton’s purse, which was not in the room. At this point, one of the children, who had been in an adjoining room watching television, entered the room and saw what was happening. He reportedly at first thought the scene was a prank, but quickly realized the truth and raced to Mr. Debaney’s room, down the hall, for assistance. Mr. Debaney was also bound and robbed upon entering Ms. Booton’s suite, and the two children were tied up as well. According to Campus Security, one of the victims then heard one of the intruders indicate a desire to “hurt someone,” asking threateningly, “Who should I shoot first?” His partner replied that they did not have enough bullets. No gun, however, was shown. After the men fled, Ms. Booton freed herself, locked her door, and called Campus Security, who were unable to apprehend the two men. An investigation is continuing, though, headed by Officer Charles Script.

Joel Hauser, committee spokesperson, said that non-UFW lettuce is used in salads and sandwiches by all Food Service units. Gallo wine, which is made by a company which has also refused to sign labor contracts with the UFW, is also served regularly in the Tiffin Room in Norton Union. About four weeks ago, according to Mr. Hauser, UFW supporters approached new Food Service Director Donald Hosie with a request that Food Service serve only UFW lettuce or a substitute, such as romaine. Mr. Hosie assured the group that the Food Service wholesaler was instructed to deliver only UFW lettuce when possible, Mr. Hauser said. The Food Service buyer soon discovered that the wholesaler never buys UFW lettuce, Mr. Hauser explained. Will replace lettuce Food 'flP- THIS SAT. NIGHT!!!

The support group will be carrying petitions around the dorms this week, and will also be leafletting dorm residents. In an interview with The Spectrum, Food Service buyer Gene Capellini confirmed the instruction to the wholesaler to supply only UFW lettuce whenever possible. He said that UFW-picked lettuce has been scarce because only 10 percent of all lettuce (grown by the Interharvest Corporation) is picked by UFW members. Bad weather cited He added that his wholesaler only sells lettuce graded U S. No. 1 by the Agriculture Department. Only a few days of bad weather in an area of California or Arizona may lower the grade of a crop, and thus make it too low for the local wholesaler to buy. The wholesaler claims he will buy any UFW lettuce available as long as it is U.S. No. 1. This may result in what seems like discrimination against UFW lettuce, Mr. Capellini-said, and may also account for Mr. Hauser’s belief that the wholesaler will not stock UFW lettuce. Mr. Capellini said that if any large customer used only UFW lettuce, it would be “a drop in the bucket” on a national scale. He called instead for Congressional action to include farmworkers under the National Labor Relations Act. Agricultural workers were specifically excluded from the Act when it was passed in 1937. the center for theatre research Presen ts myrna lamb musical theatre piece directed by saul elkin a new february 25 through march 2, at 8pjn. & & $2.00 at irii CHE NEW C ENT U B y the door theatre * •II Mala M '■ •'V it Page four The Spectrum Wednesday, 26 February 1975 . . courtyard theatre lafayette & hoyt sts. admission 2.50 UmltmU nicholas meyers' .apple pie A &' tickets students WO at n art on union �CAC making tenth birthday serving community problems by Mike McGuire Staff Writer programs in black communities Spectrum The Community Action Corps (CAC), the University’s most popular volunteer organization, celebrates its 10th birthday this week. What started off as the UUAB Community Relations Committee (CRC), a 24-member War On Poverty-type effort, has grown to include 2000 volunteers involved in various projects, task forces and research groups. In a decade, CAC has become the second largest community action volunteer group in the nation (behind the federal government’s ACTION program, which includes VISTA and the Peace Corps) and the only organization of its size that is totally student-run. 11 has received considerable praise from local officials, including a letter of commendation from the late Senator Robert Kennedy. The two dozen original volunteers worked in programs begun by other groups, most of .which dealt with problems of the ghetto, orphans and the aged. Part of SA In the fall of 1965, the Community Aid Corps was formetf as a special committee of the Student Association (SA). Although its status as a special committee theoretically gave its director a vote on the SA Executive Committee, this vote was never used and the group remained distinct from the rest of SA. During the 1966-67 school year, a major campaign of recruitment began with the first CAC-initiated programs. Among these was an education and recreation project for the Tonawanda Indian Reservation. Current CAC Director Dave Chavis has referred to these early projects as “bandaid services, patching up society’s problems.” In 1967-68, the organization stressed community aid and its own internal development. The programs in this period were designed to help the poor and culturally deprived.

By the fall, the program included about 250 volunteers in 13 projects, as well as three special sub-committees. About 1300 volunteers were involved at that time. By 1969-70, with student activism in full swing, the CAC’s volunteer rolls bulged to 1800. The academic year 1970-71, a pivotal one, saw the group’s name changed to Community Action Corps. Activities with political and social policy ramifications began to crop up. Two thousand students volunteered, a total which has held steady since. The Birth Control Clinic, along with other CAC Health Care Division (now the Sub-Board Health Division) projects was started. Drug-related services, like Terrace House, a county-run program for alcoholics, were also begun. Strong student interest continued the following year. Sunshine House, which had started as an independent entity, CAC as a desperation measure after its funds were suddenly eliminated. joined Action committee The Public Interest Research Group (P1RG) was started in Buffalo as a CAC project. The group has since become part of a state-wide parent organization, New York PIRG, and a major student group on its own. CAC at this time also started city services which may affect students, moderating its strict altruism, a hallmark of the earlier programs.

They have investigated local environmental problems, tried to set up tots’ lots (playgrounds for young children) around the city; begun the Buffalo Women’s Self-Help Clinic (since independent); tried to set up a CAC Day Camp for local children (which may actually go into operation this summer after coming close to reality last summer); helped students locate off-campus housing; and investigated revenue sharing, fair housing and community planning. Motivation down Mr. Chavis has noted a decline in the motivation of students who have come in contact with CAC, however. There is less of a feeling of commitment, he said, and more of an attitude of “What’s in it for me?” Where previous members would become involved to promote constructive change and broaden their education, these idealistic goals today are considered less important than getting into graduate scho'ol. But Mr. Chavis felt that the quality of CAC work has improved, even though the motivation of its students has lessened. Indicative of this improvement, according to Mr. Chavis, is that certain CAC members are regularly called in for consultation by social service organizations. While consultation between groups is not unusual, soliciting opinions from people without academic degrees is almost unheard of elsewhere. Many former CAC programs have been turned over to the community with former and current CAC members the leading activitsts in several areas. Groups which function with CAC support include the Buffalo Alternative Schools Coalition and Attica support groups. Support groups are limited to on-campus operations. Mr. Chavis urged all students to get involved in existing projects or to suggest new ones. He stressed that CAC is a non-elitist organization which welcomes everybody, and that talent and ideas are always needed. Student priority Health care is going strong by llene Dube Feature Editor In the space of two years, Sub-Board’s Health Care Division (HCD) has established a comprehensive health care program and developed the principle of preventive medical care on this campus. The Blood Assurance Program, Preventive Medicine Life Workshop, Health Resource Handbook and the Family Planning and Human Sexuality Clincis are only a few of the more well known programs. Currently in the planning stages is a student pharmacy, an extension of the dental clinic (which now exists as part of the Dental School), an emergency medical center, an X-ray lab, and an ambulatory service for the North Campus. These are low cost services available to all students. Number one priority To assure the maintenance and further growth of these services, most of this year’s candidates for Student Association have made comprehensive health services high priority.

Lisa Rosenthal, the party’s candidate for Student Affairs Director, rounded out the party’s presentation. She said she supported a third alternative to the newly-adopted SA constitution, a provision whereby students would tell where they wanted their fee money directed. (This provision was actually an alternative to the mandatory fee, not the Constitution.) She noted her lack of experience, but said, “I think that’s more a help than a hindrance.” Jim Smith led off the Scope party’s talk.

He ridiculed her call for a 25 cent far on NFTA buses, saying he had spoken to a publicity director at NFTA who allegedly told him that it would be impossible to reduce the fare “without Federal funds.” He ended up his speech: “If you want to waste your vote, vote for the Changes ticket.” Student Affairs Director candidate Dave Kautz barely had enough time to speak, but he emphasized the need for better planning on the Amherst campus. Peter Jarzyna of the Free Beer Party Local unemployment peaks by Ron Calabrese Spectrum Staff Writer Buffalo unemployment is at its peak, according the New York State Unemployment Insurance office (NYSUI). An economist for NYSUI revealed last week that Buffalo’s unemployment will peak during the first quarter of 1975, with most unemployment coming from auto, manufacturing, and construction industries, and would begin leveling off around mid-June. Official unemployment for December 1974 stood at 10.3 percent with a total of 56,600 persons out of work in Erie and Niagara Counties. NYSUI also projected unemployment for both counties in January, 1975 to endure a hefty 12.3 percent. NYSUI estimated, however, that Erie and Niagara Counties’ unemployment probably stands closer to an intolerable IS percent, because NYSUI does not keep , records of individuals whose unemployment checks have terminated: Location, fall-off of lake trade, and taxes are good reasons why to Welfare increase John Webster, Executive Assistant to the Commissioner at the Erie County Social Services Department, disclosed that there were 51,000 people on the county’s public assistance program at the end of January, an increase of 1385 over last year. Welfare partly occurs as a result of unemployment but “is indicative of the economy, and when the economy is down, you can expect welfare to go up,” according to William Gleason, Personnel Supervisor for Erie County Social Services. He indicated that the federal government has released $6,000,000 to create new jobs as part of the Compensation and Empire Training Act (CETA). “CETA has created a hell of a lot of jobs” that pay around $10,000 annually, Mr. Gleason said. The jobs deal with “things the city has been after for a long time, but have never gotten around to,” he added. Agencies Employment agencies have reported a slight to moderate increase in the number of applicants within the past year. Jcri King, Vice President of APA Employment Agency said locally owned and operated agency places most of its emphasis on professional jobs. “Our agency does little advertising and relies heavily upon referral applicants,” Ms. King indicated, adding that employment is a “buyer’s market” because the employer can take his pick from an overabundance of individuals to fill a Buffalo’s unemployment is well above the nation’s limited number of positions.

Esposito Contributing Editor A takeover of five City of Buffalo parks by Erie County has been proposed by Susan Libick, County Legislator from the 10th District. The parks involved in the plan are Cazenovia, Delaware, Schiller, Grover Cleveland (located across Bailey Avenue from the Main , Street Campus) and South Park. “The interests of the people of the county can best be served through the county’s assumption of operation, maintenance and improvement responsibilities for certain City of Buffalo parks,” wrote Ms. Lubick and Raymond Gallagher, the Democratic Majority Leader of the County in Legislature, prepared a statement. The two legislators also feel “a transfer of responsibilities will allow for a more equitable sharing of the costs of upkeeping the parks since they are used by a region-wide clientele. believes Councilman Price there is a crucial question concerning residential housing on park land. He has opposed the conversion of Grover Cleveland Park to a private apartment complex, an issue still before the Common Council which Mr. Price described as “generally strongly opposed.” While he feels that low-income housing is a must for Buffalo, Mr. Price said local government cannot afford to eliminate any more green space. Twenty-three acres of city park land has been lost in the past two decades, he explained.

The Spectrum Page seven . • y v- �Endorsements shortcircuited A word of note; Over the past five years, many candidates that we supported have not fulfilled ours or most other people’s expectations once they got into office. Although SA has succeeded in dispensing a wide variety of services to students, it has yet to prove itself an effective government. Accordingly, we believe the only way to make student government truly effective would be to have an issue that hundreds, maybe thousands of students can rally behind, coupled with a student government President with extra ordinary amounts of charisma and vision. No such person or issue currently exists. Student Association may well remain impo tent, unresponsive to student needs, and a haven for status-seekers rather than an organization where people with ideas and leadership can bring student influence to bear on the University decision-making pro cess. In making the following endorsements, we are aware of the flaws and inequities of any one organization on campus having too much influence over the outcome of an election. Nevertheless, because of an almost invisible election process, we have endorsed candidates who we feel will work long hours to restore a student voice on campus, even if that goal remains an illusory one. At the very least, we hope to discourage students from voting for candidates whose insensitivity, elitism and lack of knowledge would be catastrophic if they were given a mandate to serve in SA. President: Michele Smith Michele Smith has the leadership ability, ideas and concern for students that will make her an effective SA President. Ms. Smith believes that a President should play an important role in shaping the philosophy of the entire government; unlike Frank Jackalone, whose penchant for compromise made this year's SA generally void of direc tion, she knows how to be self-assertive and is not afraid of angering those who disagree with her if she believes it will be in the interests of students. As director of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NVPIRG) of Buf falo (formerly WNVPIRG) two years ago, Ms. Smith orchestrated projects designed to putting acquaint the public with the facts idea that Nader into practice the Ralph be thrive on and can ignorance bureaucracies .— by getting out as much infor- mation as possible. Several of this year's SA officers wrongly believed that student interests would best be served if certain policy discussions were kept confidential until substantial progress was made; in their view, acquainting students with an issue while it was in the "delicate negotiation" stage would ultimately be detrimental. Ms. Smith realizes that this policy is ill-conceived and inadvertently elitist; she would broaden the base of student involve ment by shaping her administration around the philosophy of "getting the information out." SA will "build respect only by build ing student expertise," she claims. In academics, one of the many areas where she plans to build such expertise, Ms. Smith has wisely made the Student Course and Teacher Evaluations (SCATE) her number one priority. By publishing comprehensive but reliable resumes on every teacher at the University, SA will help every student determine which instructors to stay away from and obtain input into tenure and promotion decisions even if they remain legally excluded from them. Ms. Smith eventually hopes to use the SCATE as a "tradeoff" with faculty for other concessions. In the area of athletics, Ms. Smith said she would negotiate directly with the newly-formed Students for the Future of Athletics. To determine whether money is being spent in the most efficient way possible, she would authorize an investigation of the entire athletic budget, including intramurals and recreation. At the same time, Ms. Smith would aggressively seek outside funding for athletics by organizing massive lobbying efforts with state legislators, alumni and other possible sources of funding. Evidence of Ms. Smith's desire to include, rather than exclude students from SA can be seen in the work she has done over the past year for commuter students. As National Affairs coordinator of this year's SA, traditionally a do-nothing job, she con ceived and organized the Commuter Council. Under its aegis, significant numbers of commuters became actively involved in University activities for the first time. Among the Council's projects were attempts to implement a $.25 bus fare for students and establish a preferred-parking plan for car pools where those with three or more people in their car would be given special consideration. The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. 61 Editor-in-Chief Managing Editor L.my Because she has an assertive personality, a distaste for excluding from students information which concerns them, and a refreshing, consumer advocate approach to dealing with administrators and faculty, Michele Smith is by far the most qualified candidate for SA President. John Sullivan is at best a poor choice for SA President. Mr. Sullivan has little imagination, few ideas, no proven leadership ability, and is extremely naive about how to go abput garnering input into academic de cision-making. When asked how he would defend the four-course load, he said he would go to court and try to prove that a change from the four course system was "illegal." Mr. Sullivan incorrectly believes that personal, one-to-one diplomacy is all that is needed to influence bodies like the F acuity Senate and Administration; he thinks the best way of uniting students would be to have more parties and beer blasts. Mr. Sullivan is currently President of the Millard Fillmore College Student Association (MFCSA). Because he is running for SA President even though his term as MFCSA President does not expire until May, we can only conclude that his ambitions are somewhat opportunistic. Steve Milligram, presidential candidate of the Rehibition party, believes he would personally be able to rally thousands of students around any issue, and if necessary, "close down the school." Unfortunately, he did not know what the issues were, and lacks the kind of personality needed to inspire fellow officers, let alone the student - body at large. Michael Levinson, candidate of the Indian party, detests the current bureaucratic structure of SA. While some of his ideas a food co-op for the first floor of Norton Hall and a stew-dent Savings and Loan Association are worthy of consideration, we believe his main purpose in running for office to increase his chances of singing portions of his dusk-to-dawn poem "Deuteronomy" to a worldwide television audience have nothing to do with student government. If he is not elected, we hope Mr. Levinson will not be discouraged from con— — - — tinuing his work. The candidate for President on the Free has a dictaBeer party Peter Jarzyna torial, Louis XIV attitude about student government. The consummate elitist, he said that his personal opinions always would take precedence over the wishes of the Student Senate, even if the Senate voted overwhelmingly in favor of something he opposed. If elected, Mr. Jarzyna said he would cut the budgets of NYPIRG, CAC and minority organizations by 25 percent. We believe that — — Mr. Jarzyna's political views would be put to better use in an extremist organization. Executive Vice Art Lalonde President: Art Lalonde is, without a doubt, one of the best candidates to run for SA office in years. Running on the same ticket as Michele Smith, Mr. Lalonde also believes in being "armed with facts." His warm yet decisive personality make him a natural leader; as a project oriented member of NYPIRG, Mr. Lalonde has been able to inspire students to go out and research important issues. It is this talent which will make him an effective chairman of the Student Senate. Mr. Lalonde is acutely aware of the Student Assembly's failure to represent students and voice its opinion in the decisionmaking process; he believes that the newer Senate will have to "make its reputation through strong action during the first three months" and feels the best way to get people involved "is to give them responsibility" In contrast to Scott Salimando, whose sometimes abrasive manner marred an otherwise competent job as chairman of the Student Assembly, Mr. Lalonde's rapport with people will enable him to fill up the maze of committees and task forces manda ted by the new constitution, and work closely with fellow officers in shaping a cohesive direction for SA. Mr. Lalonde also attributes the failure of past SA's to the fact that the officers have spent most of their time in Norton Hall, and would encourage them to have a lot more personal contact with the student body. For all these reasons, Art Lalonde is highly qualified to beExecutive.Vice President, and deserves the support of students in today's election. Although Dave Sites is sincere in his desire to get involved in student govern ment, we do not feel he has had quite enough leadership experience to serve as Executive Vice President. Mr. Sites' dedication and earnestness can still make a valuable contribution to SA, and we would hope that he stays involved in some capacity. Vice President for Sub-Board Drew Pres berg or Bruce Campbell Both Drew Presberg and Bruce Campbell are well qualified to be SA Vice President for Sub-Board. Mr. Presberg is extremely knowledgable about Sub-Board; he has been actively involved in Scholastic Housing, Inc., and joined University District Councilman Bill Price in the fight against absentee landlords.

In contrast to Scott Salimando, whose students, Mr. Presberg would like to curtail wasteful expenditures and see Sub-Board expand its services and move further in the direction of becoming income-offset. Having UUAB co-sponsor concerts with Buffaloarea promoters, he claims, would be one way of making spending more efficient. Mr. Presberg's proven persistence would give undergraduates a stronger voice on both Sub-Board and the Faculty-Student Associa tion (FSA). The other candidate, Bruce Campbell, is equally qualified. His successful tenure as treasurer of the Birth Control Clinic would enable him to do an effective job as SubBoard treasurer. Mr. Campbell agrees with his opponent that money can be saved by co-sponsoring concerts, and plans to invest! gate the needs of the North Campus, particularly in the area of Health Care. By virtue of his excellent rapport with people and his extensive business experience, Mr. Campbell would also give students a solid voice on Sub-Board and FSA. Jim Smith, the third candidate for Sub Board Vice President, has done a good job as Inter-Residence Council (IRC) Vice President for Activities Planning and has a lot of business experience. However, we feel he has fewer concrete ideas than the other two candidates, and would be less zealous in siding with students against the administra tion. The final candidate for Sub-Board Vice President, Harold Besmanoff of the Free Beer party, shares many of his running mate's ideas, and should therefore be disqualified from consideration. sometimes abrasive manner marred an otherwise competent job as chairman of the Student Assembly, Mr. Lalonde's rapport with people will enable him to fill up the maze of committees and task forces mandated by the new constitution, and work closely with fellow officers in shaping a cohesive direction for SA.

Director of Student Affairs: Steven Schwartz Experience, ideas and a warm personality make Steven Schwartz the best candidate for Director of Student Affairs. Mr. Schwartz has chalked up an impressive amount of experience in student government as a member of the IRC Executive Committee and the Student Assembly; he has helped investigate Food Service, worked on SCATE, and been extremely active in the Commuter Council. Realizing the importance of acquainting new students with the University, Mr. Schwartz hopes to expand the scope of activities at summer orientation. He plans to publish an insider's guide to Buffalo, set up orientations with the Athletic Department and with IRC and hold special mixers for freshmen and transfer students. Mr. Schwartz agrees with his running mates, Michele Smith and Art Lalonde, that defending the interests of students necessitates informing as many as possible about policy discussions. He will use this philosophy to defend the interests of students on both campuses. Of the other candidates, Dave Kautz is fairly knowledgable about the way the University works, but has few ideas about improving orientation and does not seem personable enough for the position. Lisa Rosenthal, while eager to become involved in SA, knew the least about the University, did not have many ideas, and would be afraid to confront the administration. Director of Academic Affairs Dave Shapiro While by no means an outstanding candidate, Dave Shapiro would do a competent Vice President for Sub-Board I T reasu rer Director of Academic Affairs Director of Student Activ, A Services capacity. It is unfortunate that only one student in the entire Univeristy, Dave Shapiro, was concerned enough about academics to file a petition for the post of Director of Academic Affairs. At a time when the Administration is making an active attempt to obliterate every academic innovation that came out of the late sixties, students need representa- tives willing to defend the quality of their' educations against great odds. Continued display of this kind of apathy will only serve as fuel for further regression. Director of Student Activities and Services Doug Cohen or-Judi Young Both candidates for Director of Student Doug Cohen and Activities and Services Judi Young are qualified for the position. Either one has had a lot of experience, and would work hard to improve interaction between clubs and organizations. — — Editor's Note: These endorsements were made after extensive interviews with almost all of the candidates by a unanimous consensus of The Spectrum's Campus Editors, Special Features Editor, Managing Editors and Editor-in Chief.

Aware of how students have been virtually closed out of academic decision-making, Mr. Shapiro would work hard to publish an effective SCATE, fill student vacancies on FacultySenate Committees, and continue trying to organize grass roots student support at the departmental level. Mr. Shapiro believes that the current DUE advisement system must be improved, favoring a system whereby first and secondyear students would have centralized advisors, while juniors and seniors would seek counsel from faculty advisors. If necessary, he would support getting rid of incompetent DUE advisors. Although he did not have many new ideas, Mr. Shapiro knows his way around the University, is hard-working and would represent students as well as any Academic Affairs Coordinator of the past four years. Gene lola, the only other student running for Academic Affairs and a write-in candidate, transferred here in January, and has not had enough time to become familiar with academics. Mr. lola is sincere in his desire to get involved, but two months at the University is simply not enough time to become familiar with important issues, even though he has the kind of aggresiveness personality that the position requires.

My underlying theme fpr this campaign is my knowledge of bureaucractic financing and cost-cutting. 1 will therefore apply myself primarily towards these goals. Do you forsee you job as keeping the SA books and facilitating the budgeting of student fees or as making policy? If it is the latter, what are your budgetary priorities? If you were Treasurer this year, how would you have handled a $100,000 deficit? It is almost inpossible to separate the making of policies or balancing of books in the position of Treasurer. Both are somewhat interrelated, making it difficult to make one work without the other. As I see it, the basic function of Treasurer is that of an economic advisor. Therefore, policy decisions would not affect my judgement; 1 will be primarily concerned with implementing the Financial Assembly’s policy decisions as fairly as possible. 1 can honestly say that I will support programs which I feel will benefit this campus as a whole, but my decisions will be based only on non-partisan judgement and economic circumstances.

To deal with this situation one must regulate both input and output. In terms of this campus, my office is not able to control input as it does output. My only possible decision in this matter would be to make an across-the-board cut in the budget of about 10 percent. I would then inform the involved organizations of the cut and advise a program that would deal with these cuts by increasing the input to the system, and simultaneously decreasing the output. Speculatively, this might involve a five percent increase in activity gate receipts and a similar decrease in personnel. How will you deal with pressure from special interest groups?

Ask for the cable with 3 loops, only $5 95 at your bicycle store or order postpaid from by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer Imagine a hockey team needing to sweep a two-game series at home to get its divisional playoffs. Imagine a team losing a two-goal advantage in the third period and then losing the game in overtime, 6-5. Now imagine both those things happening to the same team, and you’ve described Buffalo’s experience with Oswego State last Friday. Now imagine this same team the next night with another two-goal lead in the third period. Their fans are yelling goodbye to the opposition as the clock begins to tick off the last thirty seconds. Then imagine this team being scored on twice in the final 27 seconds, and again in overtime to lose 6-5 again. Believe it or not, you’ve just described Saturday night’s Buffalo-Oswego hockey game. On Friday night, the Bulls played solid hockey for two periods. Their defense was adequate and their passing and forechecking was better than average. After two periods, Buffalo led 4-2. - Third period blues Unfortunately for the Bulls, hockey games are three periods long, and the Great Lakers used that third period to undo everything that was done to them in the first two. Oswego’s star center Glen Sisman accounted in some way for all five of Oswego’s regulation time goals, scoring two and assisting on the others. For the Bulls, Rick Wolstenholme also scored two goals and did an outstanding job forechecking and helping out on defense. The game was relatively penalty-free, considering that the Bull-Laker contests have traditionally led more high sticking than high-scoring. Saturday’s game was very similar to Fridays’s, but with more drama and more violence. Again the Bulls outscored and outplayed the Lakers, but their two-goal lead this time seemed to breed overconfidence. Oswego again gained the momentum in the third session. EBM CORPORATION 125 North Nopal Street Santa Barbara, CA 93103 VOTE SCOPE For a refreshing New Taste in Student Government — John Sullivan President Jim Smith VP Sub-Board Paul Bonano T reasurer - - With three and half minutes remaining, Buffalo’s Randy Cooper and Oswego’s Steve Kore started a massive brawl which ended up with ejections to four players. As is often the case in hockey, the fight inspired the Lakers as they launched a fearsome barrage of shots which finally netted them the tying goal with only a scant four seconds left on the clock. Penalties Penalties were a key factor in Saturday’s contest. Referee Paul Duffy called nine misconducts and ejected six players. However, the Bulls’ chronically deficient power play failed on numerous attempts, including a man up situation during the overtime. In fact, the Bulls’ power play managed only one goal net, even though Oswego players spent over 100 minutes in the sin bin. The Bulls did score three times with the man advantage, but their ragged defensive play allowed two short-handed goals as well. Paqe twelve jBg* KURDfKABltmjI . The Spectrum .

Coaches receiving bad vibes over proposed athletic cuts by Bruce Engel and Dave Hnath With all the screaming between the Student Association (SA) and the Students for the Future of Athletics (SFA) recently, one group that has remained silent so far is the professional staff the athletic coaches, whose jobs are on the line. It was only very recently that they informed SA of their opinion of the five sport proposal. Last week the coaching staff voted unanimously against SA’s proposal A, which would reduce the intercollegiate men’s program to five teams. Should the proposal pass the Student Assembly, it would come up for another vote of coaching personnel, and only coaching personnel, to decide what action, if any, the Department would take. The coaches are hoping for a solution to the problem that is more favorable to athletics. — Hear 0 Israel For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 — — Passport!Application Photos UNIVERSITY PHOTO 3SS Norton Hall Tues., Wed., Thurs.: 10 a.m.—5 p.m. 3 photos for t3 (t. 50 per additional\ Wait and see Although they are oh the record as opposing the five sport plan, the coaches would give no indication as to what they might do if it passes the Assembly. “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,” said baseball coach Bill Monkarsh. Several of the other coaches were a little more specific, but none of them would address the possibility of some form of strike. It seems the coaches are determined to take a united stand, and will not release or institute any official action until such time as they feel it is warranted. Considering SA’s five sport plan as one extreme and the status quo (this year’s budget plus an inflationary increase) as the other, some of the coaches alluded to the possibility of compromise. “There’s always room for compromise,” said Monkarsh, whose baseball team is protected by the five sport plan. “Each side has room for it,” he added. Golf coach Bill Dando, whose team would be cut by the five sport plan, would sooner have less of a program than no program at all. “It’s not what we want,” he said, “but I think we all have to make cuts down the line in order to survive.” Dando indicated that historically the smaller programs have generally been more successful than the larger ones. Control Swimming coach Bill Sanford is very concerned about losing the squad he has coached for 26 years. However, on the idea of compromise, he spoke more about control of the program, as opposed to specifically saving swimming. “There’s no such thing as a compromise,” he said. “We’re professionals and we should know how to run the program. The students are only here for four years and leave.” Leo Richardson, head coach of the protected basketball team, gives the impression that he has accepted all the cuts he cares to. “I don’t want a compromise,” he said. “Since they cut my budget in November, my stand is all or none.” Track coach Jim McDonough feels that all the bad vibrations about the athletic budget is bothering his athletes and is affecting their performances. “It’s starting to affect my men’s attitudes and morale. We’re getting better workouts, but our times aren’t improving.” STUDENT nSSOCIRTION ELECTIONS GET OFF YOUR HSS r RND VOTE!!!

Only you can make it stop ’There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” It’s a dull term, but something called the "public debt” has been piling up for years because our tax dollars haven’t come close to paying for all of the services and programs we’ve been demanding. In fact, just the annual interest charge on this debt recently hit a cool $29 billion. Nevertheless, many politicians say, "Relax, Unde Sam can simply print the money to cover the cost." Not so, as this story from The March Reader’s Digest makes clear. For with skyrocketing prices people stopped buying. And now we’ve got recession. How to get out of the mess? Read on... us. Government may print money, and other revenues. Last year we paid out $255.4 billion in federal taxes. Unfortunately, the government not only spent all this money; it kept right on spending, doling out $3.5 billion more than we gave it. And it has generally done the same for years—spending $66.8 billion more than income in the five years 1970 through 1974 alone. That is where the trouble starts when we, as electors, allow gov- ernment, often, for individually persuasive reasons, to spend dollars it doesn’t have. It goes into debt. Hut government and the average citizen go into debt under different rules. Government is the dominant borrower in the market, both from individuals (mainly through selling savings bonds) and by depositing lOUs with banks, then writing checks against them. Result: We taxpayers have to pay various banks and other lenders some $29 billion in yearly interest on the public debt. And that’s why we are in trouble. We pay all the government’s bills, and we bear the burden of those bills Page fourteen . adds ten ing out that secret tax that cents to a pound of bacon, $5 to a to an electric stove. pair of shoes, J20 Now this is the part of inflation that most of us don’t fully understand: How the government’s indebtedness pushes up the prices of the things we buy. It works this way: We can’t print money to cover our own debts. The federal government, however, can; through a complex procedure called “monetary policy,” the Federal Reserve creates dollars and transfers them to banks. The banks make loans from these new “assets.” Thus, money is “pumped into the economy”—money that was originally nothing more than the figures on a Federal Reserve check; soon more currency has to be printed to cover the new dollars. Many of these dollars originate through bank loans of various kinds. They find their way into the economy through various commercial transactions. But who has established the need for these new dollars in the first place? We have —through the many things we ask government to “do” for us; through loans and grants to businesses, schools, research groups; through “aid” programs of all kinds. Remember, most of these not been earned deficit by producing anything. They merely compete with our paycheck dollars for whatever goods and services we and others have produced.

Real wealth is the value of the goods and services produced by working men and women.

Government depends upon this wealth that we create, and takes from each of us a portion of it through taxes THE “SECRET T\X” AMERICA CANT machine service call take your breath away P Why do expenses now seem exceed income? There is an easy one-word answer to all these questions— inflation. But do we really understand what inflation is, and why this “secret tax” keeps chipping away at our paychecks ? Many factors have exacerbated this dollar-dissolving inflation—the energy crisis, crop prices, excessive and ill-advised government regulation, wages outrunning productivity. But the basic cause of inflation is one that most Americans seem largely unaware of; spending money that hasn't been earned yet. In short, inflation is the creature of debt, and the most inflationary kind of debt is the one we —under our democratic system—are the most responsible for: the public debt. The officials we elect run up this debt to provide the loans, goods, services and programs that we have come to believe should be “paid for by government.” We forget, of course, that “paid for by government” means paid for by to • ADVERTISEMENT oldest of economic laws takes effect. With more money around than available goods, prices rise—and inffation is upon us. Okay. Everybody talks about it. Almost everybody feels it. But what can we do about it ? Ortainly, increased productivity each of us producing more for the dollars we earn —is one of the most effective counters to inflation. Many businesses and dedicated workers have performed amazing feats of productivity, enabling them to increase their wages and profits while cutting the price of'their products to remain competitive.* But productivity increases cannot indefinitely make up for the steady cheapening of the dollar brought on by the government indulging legislative whims with more “thin air" money. It’s time for some tough decisions in Washington. Decisions that will not be made unless citizens — — businessmen, farmers, workers, housewives. pensioners—demand them and are willing to accept the sacrifices that must be made. Particularly in times such as these, no one would deny the use of federal resources to take care of the truly needy. And to alleviate the rigors of recession, job programs and other relief may well be essential. Rut with additional costs, it is even more imperative that the rest of the budget be kept under control so we do not wind up compounding the inflation which brought about the recession in the first-place. '>,lf expect government to cut however, we must all ctfpfottr expectations of government. Businessmen seeking special treatment to pull them out of a hole dug by their own inefficiency must make do with their own resourcefulness. Special-interest groups must stop we and consider the overall effects of their requests upon government, and thus upon inflation. Citizens must realize that government installations may close in their area. Because the money is not available, certain nonessential programs may have to be delayed or even discarded. Wc, all of us, are trying to hold the line on spending at home, and we should expect government to do the same. We only fool ourselves if wc think real progress can be made without getting the government’s fiscal engine back in tune. And remember, we are the government. That’s why we can do something about inflation —if wc have the sense to discipline ourselves and the ingenuity to get more out of the considerable human and material resources we already have.

No. 60 Monday, 24 February 1975 State University of New York at Buffalo Protests may materialize State legislature expectecL to increase dormitory rates by Laura Bartlett Staff Writer among the most severely affected by the downturn in the economy,” Mr. Kohane continued. State University (SUNY) Chancellor Ernest Boyer told the State Senate Finance and Assembly Ways and Means Committees last week that there might have to be a “slight [upward] modification in dormitory rates” to compensate for the $3.5 million discrepancy between the dormitory revenues projected by SUNY, and the amount projected by state officials. State University and the State Division of the Budget are presently investigating the discrepancy. Students from a number of SUNY colleges and universities are expected to picket the Board of Trustees meeting in Albany tomorrow to voice opposition to any dormitory rate increase. Decrease enrollments In the past year, he explained, dormitory overcrowding has in some cases forced three students to live in rooms designed for two. The Division of the Budget expects an even higher occupancy rate in the coming year, he said. This will not be a problem at this University because virtually all of the new dormitory facilities on the North Campus will be ready for occuppncy next year, according to Cliff Wilson, assistant director of University Housing. “However, we don’t expect to be full,” he added. Mr. Kohane pointed out that in the past, increased costs to students have resulted in reduced enrollments. The National Commission of the Financing of Postsecondary Education reported that for every $100 increase in cost, there is an average decrease in enrollment of 2.5 percent. In cases where costs have been lowered, the enrollment has jumped as much as 12.2 percent. He said this same trend is evident in Stale University, where the percentage of high school graduates enrolling in SUNY has dropped to 68 percent in 1973, after a 1970 high of 71 percent. Spectrum State’s burden In a statement last week to the legislative committees, SASU President Dan Kohane said a rent Effectively subverted Summing up his attack on the proposed hike. Mr. Kohane asserted that the purposes of state-funded education to make learning available to all, regardless of their financial situation “could be effectively subverted" if the increases took effect. He added that cuts “expedient in the short run” could be “disastrous in the long run." and that the budget discrepancy should be alleviated with state funds rather than a rise in student costs. “Although 1 would like to see dorm costs stay the same or go down. I’m concerned about the services custodial, food service, health service, etc. which are already operating at a bare minimum,” said Inter-Residence Council (IRC) President Leigh Weber. “If it had to be a choice between cutting these services back, or a hike in rent costs, I’d have to go along with it (the rent hike] reluctantly.” Mr. Wilson said a tuition hike would “probably be fairer in the long run” than the dorm rent raise because it would spread the increased financial burden Jo more than just resident students. But he added jmat he wouldn’t be surprised to see an increase in both. - — — — Ernest Boyer hike would be “no different than a tuition hike.” It makes little difference where or in what category a discrepancy in figures has occurred because both the tuition and room rent come out of one basket student’s pocket, and go into one basket, the University Income Fund. “I firmly believe in Governor Carey’s campaign assertion that the state, not the students, must hear the burden of financing higher education in these days of inflation and higher costs.” The Board of Trustees had expressed opposition to any tuition — increase Mr. Kohane criticized the contention that a dorm rate increase is justified because of a rise in the cost of living. He said unemployment among teenagers is more than twice the national average, and that the summer levels might be higher than the present 18.3 percent. “A rent hike would hack away ruthlessly at a mostly young people already class of peo’ple — — Less experimentation The proposed dorm hike has not prevented other cuts In the SUNY budget recommended by the Governor such as allocations for the Equal Opportunity Program (EOP), Aid to the Disadvantaged and Regents Scholarships. Tuition Assistance Program funds have increased, however, and state officials claim that would “fill the vacuum” created by cuts in EOP. Funding was also slashed for agricultural and energy projects, as were allocations for emerging state colleges at Purchase, Old Westbury and Utica-Rome. These new colleges have been allocated enough money to operate and continue to develop, but the great increase in their faculty-student ratios will be the “end of the experimental, innovative ideals on which these institutions were based,” according to Mr. Kohane. it \ Labor unions fighting the industrial polluters Editor's note: The following is the last of a three-part series on air pollution and health. It explores recent efforts to fight the and pollution-makers plan long-range solutions. according to a report published in the OCAW newspaper, Union News. Last August, Allied Chemical reported that 19 of the 55 workers exposed to inorganic arsenic in its Baltimore plant died by Paul Krehbiel of cancer. Contributing Editor Crimes been the most severely affected by air pollution, industrial workers, with the help of union leaders, lawyers and khentists have traditionally led the fight against this deadly Because they have menace. The Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers, (OCAW) AFL-CIO and United Steelworkers recently filed a petition with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration calling for strict pollution standards for an estimated 1.5 million workers threatened on the job by cancer-producing inorganic arsenic. Produced during copper smelting, inorganic arsenic is used in a wide range of industrial and work. A Dow agricultural Chemical Company plant in Midland, Michigan, which used arsenic several years ago, recently revealed that 32.9 percent of its employees died of cancer, The industrial pollution that spreads disease often violates state and federal laws, but “escapes inclusion in the crime statistics,” Ralph Nader charged in Vanishing Air. When action is taken to force a company to comply with the laws, the companies often use “industrial extortion,” threatening to close shop and move out of town, leaving thousands unemployed, Mr. Nader explained. The giant steel conglomerate, Bethlehem Steel, has used this tactic throughout the late 1960’s and early 1970’s to avoid cleaning up the dangerous mess that they have made on the Niagara Frontier. Many companies have initiated relations public campaigns which extol their efforts to clean up the environment, but Mr. Nader claims that little has changed. —continued on page 2 �Newspapers caught in crunch 1974 and one in 1975. Vance Stickall, Vice President for Sales of The Los Angeles two rate increases in by Steven Kolodny Spectrum Staff Writer The nation’s newspapers are tightening their belts to cope with spiraling production and material costs by introducing newer formats and money-saving production practices. The cost of newspring has risen dramatically in recent years. Western New York Offset Press, a major supplier in this area, sells newsprint for $244 a ton, $94 more than three years ago. Similar price increases have been reported for ink, photographic supplies and labor costs. The newspaper industry has responded to these increases by increasing advertising rates, increasing their sales price, and cutting costs through modifications in paper size, columns per page, improved layout techniques, and using cheaper materials. The last of these is most attractive, because of the current economic crunch, which has reduced the funds available for both advertising and the purchase of papers. The Spectrum lives Despite higher operating costs, The Spectrum has managed to keep going because of increased off-campus advertising. Ad sales have been so successful that the campus publication has not raised advertising rates in five years. However, most newspapers have had to raise their rates. The Buffalo Evening News for example, raised the price of a quarter-page ad to $493, up $50 from last year. Although The Los Angeles Times switched to a six column format, it retained the eight column format for advertising pages because the paper had , Pollution Times said “We just didn’t think our salesmen were good enough to carry off three rate increases and 33 percent increase with a six-column ad format.” Many large newspapers are switching to a slightly narrower page, which, though hardly noticeable to the reader, results in substantially reduced paper costs. The six-column page is becoming more widely used since it is easier to compose and to read, but does not require any more paper than the eight-column format. The New York Times is considering this change. Cheaper paper Lighter, cheaper paper is also being used. Newsprint is sold by weight, and the more pages per ton of paper, the less expensive it becomes. The Spectrum is printed on 22-lb. paper, lighter than most newspapers, which are printed on 30-lb. paper. Many newspapers are either cutting down on the size of their staff, instituting job freezes, or trimming the expense of gathering news. The Washington Star-News has . placed 50 employees on a four-day week wiht only four days pay. The least desireabie alternative for increasing revenues has been increasing the newsstand price. This often depresses sales, and advertising revenues, since potential advertisers are not willing to pay high rates for a smaller readership. When The Wall Street Journal raised its price a nickel to 25 cents last week, it cited increased newsprint cost (up 15 percent over last year), and postage (up 36 percent) as particular reasons for the increase. A spokesman for The Journal said it is too soon to determine what effect the price increase will have. —continued • • from workers, scientists, doctors and social activists to work together to stop this deadly killer.

Hearing aid dealers merit PIRG probe Fraudulent practices” by many hearing aid dealers has prompted the Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) at the State University of Albany to formulate a bill to curb such abuses. Presently, there are no laws in. New York State regulating hearing aid dealers. Besides calling for mandatory of all hearing aid dealers, the bill would prohibit dispensing aids without hearing prior examination by an audiologist or otolaryngologist. It also would establish a review board consisting audiologists of and dealers, licensing otolaryngologists. controversy was first in 1968 by Consumer Reports. Subsequent investigations included Ralph The Queens College PIRG report on hearing aid sales and practices in Queens found that even those hearing aid dealers who have received training took only a 20 week home course. A certified clinical audiologist, on the other hand, must complete a masters degree, or 60 credit-hours of post-graduate work in audiology, plus 300 hours of (finical work and nine months of full-time employment. The report also stated that lobbyists for the hearing aid industry have been trying to pass a bill through the state legislature that has no protection for the community, while “legitimizing” industry practices current “regardless of their nature . . reported False statements The study found that most Nader’s Retired Professionals’ dealers do not have soundproof Action group study in 1973, and testing rooms, or use more than more recently a student project at one method to test for hearing Queens’ College in New York loss.

Improper conduct? Campus Security and gays discuss ‘harassment’ on BFO Spokesmen for both sides of the controversy surrounding Campus Security’s alleged harassment of gay males in Harriman and Crosby Hall exchanged views Friday afternoon on WBFO radio. Lee Griffin, assistant director of Campus Security once again asserted that “our whole out that “none of these students were ever charged” with improper conduct. The officers, Mr. Griffin said, had also reported that most students who used the Harriman men’s room used it the way most people use restrooms. He explained that about three or four prior complaints had been reported, including one from a Security Officer prior to the investigation. “When we have complaints from citizens, which indicate a violation of existing laws, it is our obligation to investigate them,” he said, adding that “the larger community also has the right to use the facility without being disturbed, for instance, by a note propositioning them.” to charges of entrapment, Mr. Griffin said he believes that no member of Campus Security would engage in this illegal activity. He indicated that “legal action would be taken against the officer involved” if the charges were true. Entrapment tactics, he insisted, “strayed way away from the guidelines which we had established.” Responding Charges valid But Mr. Weiss said the students’ charges of attempted entrapment, property damages, officers’ warnings not to return to a certain spot, and personal threats of arrest for government obstruction purpose is to discourage the use of toilet facilities by non-Univcrsity personnel who, upon their own admission, have no other reason for being here other than using the restroom as a meeting place for illegal sexual activities.” He said the two officers assigned to the detail, Chester Menkeiena and Glenn Gardner, were aware that students associated with the Gay Liberation movement also use that facility. Mr. Griffin pointed were all valid. “But even if all those charges were proven to be untrue, I would say that the two places where gay people are noted to meet have been unfairly staked out by Campus Security,” Mr. Weiss maintained. He said that innocent students, including himself, have been “arbitrarily stopped and asked for identification.” Mr. Weiss argued that general complaints do not warrant a “full scale” investigation. It is the “covert nature” of the investigation that is most offensive, he stressed, recommending that the “most overt action possible” (e g., use of uniformed officers) be taken. Mr. Griffin said it was necessary to assign officers full time to the Harriman men's room to prevent illegal incidents, rather than merely arrest people after they commit them. sFor Summer Look Promising Informed sources report that summer job opportunities for college students “look good” this year.

Sharon O’Farrell, a member of the Executive Committee, has asked for Mr. Sullivan’s resignation on the grounds that he, as a registered daytime undergraduate, is constitutionally barred from holding elective office in the MFCSA. Mr. Sullivan disputed Ms. O’Farrell’s charges and said her request that he resign was the result of a “personal vendetta’ and differences of opinion over funding of Sub-Board Health Care services. He also attributed the request to Ms. O’Farrell’s alleged frustrated presidential ambitions. Ms. O’Farrell first approached Mr. Sullivan Thursday evening with her call for his resignation and repeated that demand Friday. Mr. Sullivan rejected any suggestion that he leave office and both Mr. Sullivan and Ms. O’Farrell said they would approach the Executive Committee on the matter. Mr. Sullivan said he would resign if the Committee requested he do so. Day tripper A former MFC member of the Student Judiciary, Mr. Sullivan is currently registered in the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) the school for daytime undergraduates. The MFC Constitution, Article IV, section 3, provides that a student who takes a night course and pays the MFC activity fee, even though he is not a registered MFC student, is entitled to all the rights and privileges of regularly-enrolled MFC students “excepting they may not hold elective office.” Mr. Sullivan takes a night course and pays the activity fee but is registered in DUE and takes most of his course work there. He said he approached former MFCSA President Jack Bunting and Ms. 0 Farrell and discussed his constitutional position when he was first asked to hold an elective position. Mr. Sullivan said Mr. Bunting and Ms. O'Farrell agreed there would be no constitutional obstacle to Ins holding office. When former MFCSA President Karen Dill resigned at the end of semester, both Mr. Sullivan and Ms. O’Farrell sought the position. last Sullivan won and he claims Ms. O'Farrell is the only person who Mr. voted against him. Personal conflict Mr. Sullivan said he and Ms. O’Farrell had never gotten along after he requested the resignation of the Publicity Chairman and Activities Chairman of the Executive Committee. Mr. Sullivan said he had warned all officers that unless they worked hard they would not receive stipends. This last action “upset” Ms. O’Farrell, he claimed. According to Mr. Sullivan, Ms. O’Farrell opposed increased funding for Flealth Care, which Mr. Sullivan favored, on the grounds that the hours were not late enough to accommodate the schedules of night school students. She also opposed the heavy emphasis on beer blasts, which she felt were not serving student interests. Mr. Sullivan said the beer blasts were all well attended. Ms. O’Farrell said she is seeking Sullivan’s resignation strictly because she thinks he has held his office illegally. “The idea was that the night school students would run night school affairs. John is a day school student.” Commenting on the fact that Mr. Sullivan is currently running for the Presidency of the undergraduate Student Association (SA), Ms. O’Farrell said his seeking one office while holding the other was a “conflict of interest.” Mr. Sullivan said he “probably would resign from MFC” if elected to the SA Presidency.

The three recruiters, Bob Riely, Dorothy Sullivan and Michele Smallcombe, are looking for students determined to use their talent and imagination to serve practical human needs. “There’s always a need for generalists,” said Ms. Smallcombe, explaining that Peace Corps hiring is not directly solely towards technical experts. Students can participate in programs that include teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), general health, family planning well digging and agricultural developments. Vista also needs generalists at home, said Mr. Riely, because of the agency’s emphasis on programs Technological skill is not considered as new or important as the ability to explain maintained, unfamiliar concepts, the recruiters sensitivity Ms. Sullivan said. Personal rapport, she essential, are and practical experience explained. Mr Riely urged interested students to list all community pertinent experience, including service, volunteer work and tutoring on the application. Students who are unable to meet with the recruiters during the next three days can contact the University Placement Office for information and application forms. Collective bargaining Students ‘the odd man out’ note: The following is the first of a series of articles examining the implications of Editor's faculty unionization for students. by Neil Klotz Special to The Spectrum (CPS) - Workers When the United Auto sit down at the bargaining table to negotiate their demands with Ford Motor Company, neither of the two parties would think of asking in a ’75 Mustang to give its opinion. influx of collective bargaining into higher education has left students in the same odd-man-out situation. If the faculty is the employee and the university is the employer, then under the same industrial model students must be the products or at least the consumers of The — education. Unfortunately, few students realize that faculty-administration negotiations over salary and work conditions can directly affect their tuition and student services. Few have noticed that as governance matters are switched from student-faculty committees to the negotiation table, their participation in campus hard-won decision-making during the protests of the ’60’s will become as limited as their say in what next year’s seat belts will look like. — — The lay of the law Attempts to legalize student input into bargaining have not been promising. Currently, no state legislation guarantees students even observer status in negotiations, and federal legislation marked for passage in the next six months may shut out the possibility for that guarantee altogether. Collective bargaining is not directly dependent upon the law. Anytime a group of workers wants to designate an agent to deal with its management, it can as long as the management agrees to bargain. If not, the workers’ only real recourse is to strike. State and federal legislation passed over the years, however, forces management to sit down at the bargaining table if workers fulfill certain stipulations like formally voting for a bargaining — agent. Currently, about 20 states have passed that enables legislation colleges and universities to bargain collectively. Only three states have had no legislative activity in this area, according to a recent study by Dr. Thomas Emmet of Regis College, presiding officer of the Education faculties at public Commission of the States. ‘Ripple effect’ Dr. Emmet predicted that more and more states would permit public higher education teachers to bargain collectively and that “each time a new state is added, one can expect the ‘ripple effect’ to spill over into the private institutions in that state as well.” Private institutions are not covered under state law, but those with revenues over $1 million a year come under the authority of the National Labor Relations Act. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) settles disputes when either side believes the other has violated the law. Students may be present at bargaining sessions when both sides want them there. Several student groups across the nation, most recently at Bloomfield State, N.J., have been allowed to observe and even speak during negotiations. But if one side doesn’t want students present and the other CHINA NIGHT ; side does, the dissenting side can appeal to the state or, in the case of private colleges, federal an authorities, charging that unfair labor practice is being used. No state has yet been asked to rule whether students have a right to be present under those circumstances. On the private college scene, the NLRB has also not been specifically asked whether students have the right to be present. The NLRB has, however, ruled that student workers and graduate assistants do not have that right. Stick to studies The Board ruled, for instance, that student cafeteria workers at the University of California Davis should be excluded from a food service employees’ union because the student’s primary concern was their studies rather than part-time employment. The Board recently made a similar ruling in the case of graduate research assistants at Stanford. “The NLRB will not side with — students in any way possible,” according to Alan Shark, the director of the Research Project on Students and Construction cutback hampers No. Campus Amherst Campus, when completed for the 1980—1981 academic year, will only have about 65 percent of the net space originally envisioned in 1967, according to the Office of Facilities The Planning. The cutbacks which were outlined in the 1972 Master Plan for m*jor departments, are North Campus construction, and affect all the particularly evident in the areas of Engineering and Computer Science were cut back 60 percent, and in Natural Sciences and which Mathematics, reduced by 45 percent Additionally, facilities, which include the libraries, the Colleges, Media Studies, Music and the Performing Arts, student-faculty activities, student health services and maintenance, have suffered a 40 percent decrease since original estimates. The reductions, according to John Neal, Assistant Vice President the for Facilities Planning, was mandated by the state because of expected nationwide drop in college-level enrollment. Although the North Campus was originally designed to support 30,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students, the 1972 Master Plan assumes 25,000 FTE’s will be studying here. “Inflation is killing us,” lamented Dr. Neal. He feels, however, that the North Campus’ proposed budget of $650 million could be maintained. Dr. Neal was optimistic that existing plans are stable, and that the state is not going to pull out of the construction plans. He admitted, however, that “the situation can change tomorrow.” irTi Collective “It is very conservative and very industrially Bargaining. oriented.” “Students have no rights as third parties under the NLRB,” agreed Dr. Thomas Mannix, acting director of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education. None of this is very encouraging from the student standpoint. Less encouraging is the fact that legislation has been introduced in Congress that would make public college negotiations also subject to the rigidity of the NLRB.

Among the more promising new devices is the thermal solar collector. It consists of a coated strip, painted black, surrounded by insulatory materials and specially treated glass. When placed on a rooftop, the collector absorbs and traps sunlight. The solar energy can heat flowing water to approximately 120 degrees sufficient for most normal houses. Dr. Howell pointed out that thermal collectors can be made inexpensively and stressed that solar heating is indeed a feasible alternative to gas and electricity. In Japan — possible long-term solution. Conventional nuclear energy by Amy Raff Spectrum Staff Writer Alternatives to our energy problems and their relation to the American economy, were considered Thursday by John Howell, associate professor of Chemical Engineering. In his lecture Technical Solutions to the Energy Crisis, Dr. Howell cited the two major long-term solutions: the extraction of solar energy through silicone solar collector cells and the harnessing of nuclear energy with fast-breeder reactors and nuclear fusion. Dr. Howell explained that only one hundredth of one percent of the total sunlight reaching the Earth is presently used as energy. Silicone solar cells would be able to capture more valuable sunlight and convert it to usable energy. Large output sought One problem, however, is that to significantly increase the amount of energy, large areas of the Earth’s surface would have to be covered by these solar cells, which require a great deal of energy to produce. To be worthwhile, the amount of energy output would have to exceed the energy input. Presently, it takes twenty years to get back all of the energy put into the making of a single silicone cell. Dr. Howell also cited improved nuclear systems as a production entails mining uranium, isolating a special isotope and converting it into fuel rods, which in turn supply energy. He criticized this method for wasting large amounts of uranium and suggested a fast-breeder reactor that utilizes the extra uranium by converting it to plutonium. Dr. Howell called this a promising solution if certain technological problems can be overcome. Fusion cited Nuclear fusion, another proposed method, consists of together two nuclei at extremely high temperatures, producing a very rapid chemical reaction. Dr. Howell said the forces preventing this reaction are powerful, and that scientists have not yet found a way to reach the necessary temperature and density ratios for the reaction to occur. But nuclear energy is expensive and energy and economics have become closely related. And Dr. Howell bringing asserted that despite scientific breakthroughs, there are going to be capital problems. The change from fossil fuel to a nuclear fuel system would necessitate the steady diversion of funds to nuclear plants. “There are no crash solutions,” he said. Dr. Howell was confident, however, that several short-term solutions could be successfully applied. He held that present technology was sufficiently advanced to help and Israel, he noted, thermal solar collectors are the standard method for house heating and hot water. Despite available technology. Dr. Howell cited several difficulties. The heat must be stored somewhere usually in a basement water tank. Builders usually try to provide new houses at the lowest price. Although maintenance costs for installed solar heaters are low, the initial construciton costs are high. — Get radLais Dr. Howell suggested electric cars and radial tires as other short-term solutions. He estimated the range of an electric car to be 50-70 miles per charge, “adequate for commuting” and certainly more efficient than our present “gas monsters.” Among his other suggestions were improved planning of future urban mass transit lines, storm windows, electric heating pumps which work on a principle similar to that of refrigerators, and reducing the lighting levels in buildings. He also urged the recycling of minerals and finite resources, and the refinement of industrial energy-saving processes. Dr. Howell emphasized that “energy can be used extremely efficiently,” and theat “ultimately we must strive for a steady, stable energy consumption.” Abortion test case Boston doctorfound guilty of manslaughter Kenneth Edelin, the Boston obstetrician convicted by a jury last week of manslaughter for the legal abortion of a 20-week-old male fetus, has been sentenced to one year’s probation. The sentence was immediately stayed pending appeal of the decision, and Dr. Edelin was released in his own custody; The trial had its roots in the publication of an article in the New England Medical Journal in June 1973, which discussed experiments with possible penicillin substitutes performed on fetal tissue obtained in abortions. Thomas Connelly, a full-time “right to life” activist, said he sent the article to State Representative Raymond Flynn. Mr. Flynn, a Roman Catholic, represents a heavily Irish South Boston neighborhood. He sent the article on to City Councilor Albert O’Neil, accompanied by a letter which said that “all right thinking people” deplored such activities. Mr. O’Neil, who was at the time campaigning for sheriff, sponsored a hearing at which various members of the archdiocese testified at length. Shortly afterward, Mr. O’Neil announced that he would take the matter to the district attorney. Fetuses discovered As a result, four City Hospital doctors were indicted under a 19th Century grave robbing statute. In the course of the investigation following the indictments, two aborted fetuses were discovered in bottles in a morgue. Mr. Connelly told The New York Times that he had informed friends of his in the district attorney’s office of the existence of the two fetuses. One of the fetuses had been aborted by Dr. Edelin; he was later indicted for manslaughter. At the time. District Attorney Garrett Byrne was up for re-election The abortion performed by Dr. Edelin is called a histerotomy, which is similar to a caesarian section delivery. It is usually used only after all other methods have been ruled out. Originally, it appeared as if Judge James McGuire’s charge to the jury would support a not guilty verdict. The judge told the jury that a conviction for manslaughter necessitated the death of a “person.” He defined a person as an infant “born alive” outside the womb. Optimistic at first Throughout the trial, the prosecution maintained that Dr. Edelin had killed a baby that was born or “in the process of being bom.” “After the charge we were very optimistic and in a light frame of mind because the charge was so specific and so great and supported our theory of law,” Dr. Edelin said last week. But Dr. Edelin’s concern grew as the jury deliberations dragged on. The jury returned to court last Saturday. Foreman Vincent Shea shouted out the guilty verdicts to the courtroom. When “none of them would look me in the eye, 1 began to get very apprehensive,” Dr. Edelin said of the moments just before the verdict was announced. The trial lasted six weeks. On Sunday, Dr. Edelin, who is black, charged that racial and religious prejudice had made a fair trial impossible in Boston. The nine man, three woman jury was predominantly Roman Catholic. During the jury selection process most of the jurors had maintained that they held no opinions on abortion. ■ t ° “Witch hunt” An alternate juror said after the verdict that racial slurs had been leveled against Dr. Edelin “more than once” during the deliberations. “It was a witch hunt,” Dr. Edelin charged. “A lot came together for them (the prosecution] in my case: they got a black physician and they got a woman more than 20 weeks pregnant and got a fetus in the mortuary.” But “the judge was extremely fair,” Dr. Edelin said after the sentencing. Judge McGuire did not thank jury members for their services at the close of the trial, which is customary. The sentencing Sunday was a surprise. Judge McGuire had continued the case indefinitely on Saturday. Dr. Edelin had faced a possible maximum sentence of 20 yean, but the prosecution made no u recommendation for sentencing. The verdict stands as a victory for anti-abortionists who have sought to limit the effects of the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. But advocates of women’s rights and many physicians fear it will make doctors hesitant of performing second tri-mester abortions. It may drive some women back to illegal, often dangerous abortions, many believe. Other critics of the decision cited the extremely difficult decision which was put to the jurors: determining at what point human Hfe begins. Many have denegrated the prosecution’s tactic of interchangably using the words “fetus” and “baby” to confuse the jury, and, ultimately, use criminal proceedings as a means to set social policy. w ii4aaday,'24 j ’ebpttacy-1975 : • Page five �Outside I Edl by Clem A tragic verdict It is frightening to think of the tragic implications that the manslaughter conviction of Dr. Kenneth E. Edelin could have for women, doctors and thousands of children. Even though late abortions are technically legal in most states, pregnant women will not be able to find doctors eager perform the operation if an Appeal's Court does not reverse the Boston jury's verdict. Because many of these women are already economically and educationally deprived, the birth of unwanted children would have particularly disastrous effects on both mother and child. On a larger scale, the court's decision will create more mouths to feed in a decade when millions are already dying of starvation. to The Catholic Church and numerous "right to life" groups which have rallied behind fetuses and created the climate for the Boston Court's decision are, of course, oblivious to such practical problems. So obsessed are they with religious dogma that they can think only in absolute terms like "human life begins at the moment of conception." If licensed physicians determined that a one month old fetus would be born deaf, blind and crippled, these groups would still oppose terminating the pregnancy. That twelve ordinary people were handed the responsibility for answering as complex and sensitive a question as when human life begins is even more unfortunate, especially when one considers that at least some of the jurors actually made their decision after seeing a photograph of the dead fetus and deciding that it "looked like a baby." From a legal standpoint, it must be asked why the state of Massachusetts was allowed to prosecute an individual retroactively that is, for an act that had not been considered a crime until the incident. Two years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled seven to two that states may not restrict women from having abortions during the first six months of pregnancy. The Court specifically stated that the right of privacy was "broad enough to encompass a women's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. But the states have circumvented the high court's ruling, just as they have effectively done to landmark Supreme Court rulings on desegregation and the death penalty. — The Boston jury's verdict must be overturned if humanitarian considerations are to take precedence over archaic religious doctrine. Buttressing the myth that human life is sacred from the moment of conception flouts the law and only prolongs the agony of many.

I’ve covered the past three elections and this and, largely for that reason, the dullest the is yet. Look at the line-up most disturbing (which I reported in Friday’s paper). Item: There is only one complete ticket on the ballot. A full ticket is not necessarily a sign of the better candidates, but when there is a choice from among full or nearly full tickets the chances are better that people committed enough to settle their differences and put together an administration that can implement a program are running. A full ticket has 11 persons. There is one full ticket, two with five members, and three fringe parties. This speaks poorly for the general level of seriousness in this campaign. Item: The position of Director for Academic Affairs will go by default to David Shapiro because no one else cared enough to run. (This is not meant to reflect upon Mr. Shapiro, who may very well be a fine candidate, but upon everyone else on this campus who gripes about academics.) Academic Affairs is a frustrating post. It lacks the ego value of the presidency and is not the best place to further the needs of special interest groups. The student who works for academic change must butt heads with the faculty who by law. custom, and political - — Managing Boycott Food Service To the Editor. Seven years ago, the United Farm Workers (UFW) began an uphill struggle to unionize the unbelievably oppressed migrant farm workers in the Southwest. After four years they reached contracts with growers of table grapes, wine grapes and lettuce which very significantly raised the level of health care, job security and wages. Actually, the victory was nothing more than the same benefits which millions of workers had taken for granted for years. But the farm workers did it in the ’60’s and it was a new victory for them. Again in the ’70’s, the UFW is on strike, this time because the Teamsters Union has undermined all the efforts of the UFW by signing “Sweetheart” a contract which contracts with the growers benefits only the growers and the Teamster hierarchy.

Item: There are four openings for delegates to SASU (Student Association of the State University) and only four candidates. This is almost as shameful as the single candidacy for Academic Affairs. This University is part of a vast statewide system and we need action in Albany as well as here. But SASU delegates can’t help their pet interest groups much, nor can they impress people with their office. Item: With a single exception, the campaigns are floundering. One of the most effective political machines around, one that played a large role in last year’s elections, is moribund. Its leader is out of town, its second-in-command no longer has his heart in it, and one of its key members dropped out of sight Only one campaign has shown any signs of organization or vitality to date. But things are not as bad as this litany of despair might indicate. There are, I am convinced, candidates who will be able to do an adequate job. There are enough people with intelligence, energy, experience, leadership ability and commitment to put together an administration that can function. What SA needs, what we all need, are people with the imagination and perseverance to fight for the things no one usually fights hard enough about. What we need are people who are willing to beat their heads against several brick walls, who are willing to do the unutterably dull homework required to face George Hochfield, Robert Ketter, Ernest Boyer, or the State Legislature and eke out the tiny triumphs, the partial victories that are the best anyone can do. It can be done. Even in a field as thin and unpromising as this, there are candidates who can make that fight. I hate to end this on such a shamelessly hortatory note, but I urge all of you to get out and vote for qualified candidates. The fight starts with us, folks, and if we back out of it this early we just aren’t going to make it. Monday, 24 February 1975 60 Editor-in-Chief Backpage Campus In I would like to respond to Mr./Ms. Purdy’s letter of the 12th, concerning the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Mr./Ms. Purdy, allow me to ask you a question. Do you support something that is wrong? Do you support something that is illegitimate? The South can never win the war. This is obvious. The government of Thieu is illegitimate, wrong and the puppet of the United States. It was put into power by the United States, and is supported by the United States. It is the Thieu government that closes down presses, that knows nothing of civil rights, that is the government of oppression, the government of political prisoners, the government of one man elections. Just read the papers Mr./Ms. Purdy. Your logic cannot be understood. To do something, then to realize it is wrong, and continue to do it? We support the government of Diem. He was overthrown because he was corrupt, illegitimate and without any support of the people of the South. The same fate awaits Thieu. The government of the North has continually cried out for observance of the Geneva accords of 1954. They have cried out for free nationwide elections. It has been the United States, who out of an ill found ideological fear, have subverted the free elections. Read the Pentagon Papers, Mr./Ms. Purdy Finally, Mr./Ms. Purdy, do you think that the people of the North and South at this moment are concerned whether their government is so called ‘communist’ or ‘capitalist?’ No! They have been the victims of a continuing war since 1945. They want peace, peace. Something they will if the United States continues to Mr./Ms. Purdy, never receive support illegitimate, corrupt, puppet regimes. The United States made a mistake. Face it, accept it, but do not repeat it. Michael Wiseman �I Appearing on the fol.owing eight pages are Pr0S ident D . . -- AlMh^sTbS: by the w..l take place on this page and are continued inside.

Include in your answer an If the assumption is that the student is foremost in the academic process then it follows that students should have the most active role in the decision-making process. We believe that the Student Association should be the voice of the students in this process since this role cannot be filled by either the faculty or the administration. First on the issue of tenure and promotion decisions. Since the students are the segment of the school that is more effected by the quality of the instruction, it is imperative that they play an active role in decisions of this nature. We believe that students should constitute one-third of any tenure and promotions committee. The Sunshine party supports the retention of the four course load because we believe that any additional requirements would result in a stifling of the creative and recreational facets of student life. We are interested in investigating alternative modes of marking such as: an extension of the decision deadline for itself in the academic be well supported by first policies, it must decision-making the student body. Presently, the Administration can justifiably dust off any proposals placed before it by the SA as irrepresentative of the students' demands. The only valid channel of input would be the course and teaching evaluations. I would support any moves to improve their effectiveness and importance in faculty affairs. Explicitly, if I felt the SA is not responding to the student need as I see it, I would not hesitate to implement all the powers at my disposal (temporary veto, reviews) to postponement, key appointments, and critical halt or reverse the machinery. For example, if the SA Senate were to recommend that the Speaker's Bureau the negotiate for "controversial” speakers, while "non-controyersial" speakers drew crowds, I would such proposals, veto them if they were postpone introduced again and passed, and if they were passed again. explanation of your position on: student input into tenure and promotion decisions, the four course load, grading, the Colleges and teaching evaluations.

Ideally, students should have at least an equal voice in academic decision-making as administration and faculty. As the consumers of education, we have the right to participate in this process. As student government leaders, we have the responsibility to represent students and to advocate more student input in academics. SCATE: Teaching evaluation is the first priority of Changes. We must have a strong, student controlled SCATE that will really help students pick their courses and teachers. Student Association must fund SCATE to maintain control of it and to make it available to all students during registration. We will revise and simplify SCATE and will lobby with the Faculty-Senate to require its use by all departments. Four course load: This policy is failing, not because of students, but because some departments are not meeting the demands of the system. Students must be consulted to improve courses towards this end. —continued on page 2, column What role should student government play in the academic decision-making process?

How would you insure a strong student voice in Administration policy-making? Continue SCATE, make it more visible and relevant to student needs. Work towards publishing a comprehensive University-wide course description handbook. Continue to support the innovative nature of the College concept. Maintain the four course load. Give students the choice of contracting with the instructor for the grade the student wishes by doing a certain amount of work for each grade. At the end of the term, the teacher and student should meet to review the work and decide on a grade between them. Push for student voting on Faculty Tenure Committee. Demand that students have more representation on the FSA in order to increase student input into Administration policy making. Push to have at least two students sit on departmental hearings to have a voice and be able to vote. Also have students sit on the committee that selects department heads.

Sunshine party recognizes the Collges' right of existence, and we hope that since they are secure for at least three years, they will begin to play a larger role in student life. Finally, we feel that teacher evaluations should be made more accessible and understandable to the students. State your budgetary priorities. Should minority student organizations, Sub-Board and the Athletic Department receive more, the same or less money than last year and why? We have no budgetary priorities. Since all the students are funding the SA activities it would be pretentious of us as such a small entity to decide the needs for so many. We feel that it is the right of the student body to control the money they pay as a mandatory fee. This could be done by means of a list on which each student could indicate their priorities for how their money is to be allocated. The services and activities which are indicated as preferences by the most students would receive the most funding. Those which the students find unworthy would receive less. In this way the SA budget could be directly reflective of the interests of the students. government for leadership. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this year's SA. What would you have done over the past year and what will you do in those areas you see as deficient in SA? The SA's main weakness is lack of support by students. The small amount of the electorate that shows up at referendums and elections proves this. But I don't blame the students, for they have nothing to get excited about when SA matters come up. To them, the SA is an unresponsive, remote monolith that sucks in their money. To change this feeling, a wise policy-maker would promote activities and events that would involve most of the students, and which would raise the pride of the students for their school. At the same time, control of funding must be brought at a level closer to the individual. Specifically, we need more social activities, more available entertainment and better quality sports than the iota we receive now.

Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this year's SA. What would you have done over the past year and what will you do in those areas you see as deficient in SA7 The Sunshine party recently conducted a poll of a random sample of students, asking them if they could name one thing that the Student Association did for them this year. We found that over 80 percent of them were at a loss to come up with even one item. This is even a higher percentage than similar polls taken on the national level!! We feel that this is due to the policies of the Student Association this year, which was almost without exception along the lines of compromise solution with the administration. As a result of these wishy-washy tactics the average student has been left without any powerful form of representation. There is a logical reason for student apathy toward the SA. It has not shown the students that it can be a viable organization for affecting meaningful change in this school. We propose: a. To use money allocated for athletics for the benefit maintaining teams and increasing of all students accessibility to gym and pool facilities. b. Put a greater student voice into the expansion of the Amherst Campus. c. Provide commuters with activities which cater to their needs and interests. d. Establish a student watch-dog committee to safeguard against the trespass of student rights by Campus — Security. e. To investigate the possibility of improving Food Service throughout the school.

Should minority student organizations, Sub-Board, and the Athletic Department receive more, the same or less money than last year and why? We pay our fees into the Bursar's office. From there then on to our moneys are transferred to the S.A. Sub-Board across the hall. Then around the corner into the union board then up the back stairs into this group and that. Some how along the way the money loses its energy. And the students get nothing. The biggest complaint here is that nothing is happening at our school. My own budgetary priorities: We must create reel and tangible programs that generate funds within the framework of the state's guidelines: A Student Food Cooperative, Collegiate level Sesame Street (for NET); Student Savings and Loan Association the interest from which would fund an arts program! And look into a farm purchase (see the most recent Ethos) so we can grow our own food. These are ideas for a rejuviated student — — majors in. — — corporation.

So at the beginning of our corporations by-laws there should be this insert: "We need to tie these die verse elements in our universe together. And music is universal."

Lets face it folks in its present form the whole student govt, is a rip off. After having observed the Page two The Spectrum/SA Election Supplement 1975 In lieu of such changes, I would pull for reducing minority and certain portions of the Sub-Board budgets so as to allow funding of social, entertainment, and athletic activities that would benefit all of the students.

While I realize that not all teachers will cooperate, it should be clear that students will register for evaluated courses when they have a choice.

State your budgetary priorities. Should minority student organizations, Sub-Board and the Athletic Department receive more, the same or less money than last year and why? 1 and the rest of my ticket support Alternative Three from the recent mandatory fee referendum. This would let each student decide where his/her $67 would go each year, and would thus apportion funds according to true student desires. SA should stop covering cost overruns caused by irresponsibility and mismanagement of funds by groups. When possible, service groups that can help the entire student body should receive precedence over groups with more limited appeal. — — To give students closer control of the spending of their money, we should seek to implement fundamental changes in the SA's manner of distributing funds. I suggest two alternatives: Allow the student to allocate part of his or her student fee to the organizations or activities on campus he or she chooses, when paying the student fee. Decentralize the SA into individual governments by school, college, or faculty. Then break up each person's student fee into a portion for the central SA and the rest to the SA governing the school whose courses he or she student govt the last four years as an outsider hanging out now a student I believe that given the opportunity I can do the job.

First the S.A. than the USA. Most students on this campus do not look to student government for leadership. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this year's SA. What would you have done over the past year and what will you do in those areas you see as deficient in SA? Current and past SA's have been true believers in their own self-importance and self-sustenance. It seems that all the current SA has been concerned with is UB's alleged "budgetary crisis." Since the Administration has used the budget to claim nothing can be done about such issues as the former Day Care Center and inadequate funding of the Colleges, SA has done nothing. The need exists for SA as a unified body to spend less time mediating between self-serving interest groups and more time representing the student body as a whole. A prime reason for SA's inefficiency is their total, dedication to the principles of bureaucracy. It is essential that the size of the SA bureaucracy be trimmed, and its operations be streamlined. Openness in student government is a must. The only SA operations which deserve to be carried out in secret are those which do not deserve to be carried out. If elected, we will welcome frequent challenges from any group or individual who disagrees with the way we are representing the student body. Smith —continued from page 1— . . . Colleges: These must be defended as alternative educational experiences. Courses that are cross-listed should be allowed for distribution credit even when registered under the College. Tenure: Student Association must fight for students on the departmental level of tenure decisions, for it is here that teacher competency is taken into consideration. Students can no longer assume that they have bargaining power merely because they are students. We must build contacts in the Faculty-Senate and increase student participation and expertise in its committees. Only by our own hard work can we regain the respect of the faculty, now sorely lacking. State your budgetary priorities. Should minority student organizations, Sub-Board and the Athletic Department receive more, the same or less money than last year and why? My first budget priority is publishing a SCATE. As stated previously, it must be student funded to insure student government control and its continued existence. Third World budgets must be reevaluated. Negotiated, rather than adversary, settlements should be reached to weigh the needs of Third World students with the use of already available services. This same philosophy should be followed in considering the athletic budget. Cuts in �research papers on the issues that involve all of us as students. This is exactly the point where the new Constitution radically departs from the old. Whereas we now have representatives who join the Assembly and then, maybe, a committee, we will now have legislative bodies composed of representatives who were on a committee first. As not everyone on the committee will be on the Senate or the Assembly, of necessity, only the most competent and hard-working will become members of the legislative bodies. Although the attack has been made that the new Constitution sets up bodies that are less representative than now, I do not agree with this view. I believe that we are simply exchanging quantity for quality. Politics on the national level has for years been moving towards a system that ensures representation of all segments of American society. It is about time that we did the same. The new wasteful general administration must be made, and a long hard look must be taken at the direction of our athletic program. Publicity can be improved by student control, and services already provided for by other parts of SA should be consolidated. Sub-Board's allocation should probably remain the same, but Changes pledges to take a consumer's view of the corporation as several of its programs need reevaluating. We will push for the sale of the FSA land to bring in more revenues. Alternative and additional methods of funding must be found for clubs and other organizations in order to free money for other important projects, such as an orientation guide, legal services and renovation of the Rathskellar. * Most students on this campus do not look to student government for leadership. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this year's SA. What would you have done over the past year and what wilt you do in those areas you see as deficient in SA? ; This year's Student Association was marked by, its inability to rise out of its internal problems. This in fighting lost SA much respect and input by the faculty and administration. I believe the budget crisis could have been largely avoided if the Finance Committee had been given, from the start, a set of fiscal priorities from which to budget. Another weakness was the failure of most coordinators to involve students. Many did try, but there was a lack of student organizing techniques. My greatest personal success was in actively involving over 20 people in Commuter Council (more than all the other coordinators Ira Kaplan Sunshine Party Do you think the Student Assembly has been an effective body?

Changes will not talk at the Assembly, but will build personal contacts with each member. Every person in the Assembly should be involved in a goal-oriented project, not simply urged to join a The poorly Student The fault with the activities of recent Student Associations has been their seeming preoccupation with only matters concerning budgetary allocations. The scope, awareness, and activities of the SA for most students means reading of the past meeting’s exploits several days later in The Spectrum. There has been without doubt a total lack of attempts to reach out to students, find their needs and understand their problems. The SA represents us, the students, in the governing of the University. There must be contact to bring about the understanding needed to work out answers to the problems that exist. The major problem with the new constitution is that it vests the power of deciding economic priority with various task forces. These may ultimately conflict with the wishes of the students themselves. As a solution to this, at the beginning of the year each student could be presented with a list of possible activities from which they could choose those priorities which are most relevant to their needs and desires. This would place SA activities at a level directly responsive to the needs and demands. The task forces would not become obsolete but would be able to use this information in implementing those activities which most reflect student interests. Later in the year a budgetary referendum could be held to enable realistic updating of student desires. informed committee. year's Student Association has had some the athletic bubble; the budget survey, the new constitution, the pilot SCATS. The new administration must build on these successes and pull SA out of its internal infighting.

I feel that Sub-Board is very How do you interpret the role of Vice President, aside from his prescribed legislative duties? important.

Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this year's SA. What would you have done over the past year and what will you do in those areas you see as deficient in SA? Last year's SA allowed itself to be pressured by various interest groups on campus, which I feel weakened the functioning of the organiztion. SA should have worked for increased recreational time, and should have taken a lesson from Buffalo State in dealing with commuter problems. The SA of last year should have directed more effort towards those students on the North Campus; in the areas of activities, services, and security. Finally, there existed a poor working relationship between the SA and the IRC, to the detriment of the University students. Executive Vice President Arthur LaLonde Changes Party Do you think the Student Assembly has been an effective body? What are your views on the newly-ratified Student Senate and Financial Assembly? Include in your answer what steps you would take to make SA's legislative bodies representative of students. \ I do not believe that the Student Assembly has been an effective body for a very simple reason: lack of information. It has been said, “Information is the currency of power." This is not one iota less true at this University. The Student Assembly has been an ineffective body due to its reluctance to gather and use information. The only obstacle in the way of the Assembly is its lack of commitment to anything more than a few three hour meetings per month. What is needed is an Assembly made up of committees that produce well-thought, cogent Constitution, by expressly stipulating from what segments of the University community representatives shall come, is taking a daring step to avoid legislative bodies that are composed of many people from few areas. My biggest job will be meeting with as many academic clubi*as possible to get them to participate in this new venture. Having been long forgotten in the shuffle of student politics, academic clubs may be the most reticent to becoming involved again. How do you interpret the role of Vice President, aside from his prescribed legislative duties? One of the things that I would absolutely need as Vice President is a committee. I have been working on projects, independent from studies, just about as long as I have been at this University. I don't intend to stop now. There are so many things that all of us would like to see changed, that it would be a waste of my resources not to use the experience I have gained working with people and problems at NVPIRG and CAC. I have a basic philosophy that I don't believe this election will change: don't expect the government to solve your problems for you; do it yourself. I ran the Book Exchange this year for a very simple reason; it wasn't going to open. I kept it open at night, which was never done before. I did all of this, using less money than was allocated for the operation based on days only for fewer weeks. I point out the above, not to pat myself on the back, but to point out another basic philosophy of mine; use less to get more. This is not just a pipedream; Buckminster Fuller has been showing the world how to operate this way for over 40 years. In times of recession, I believe it behooves the Student Association to do the same thing. In the past month that I have been in the SA office, I have noticed many little items that could be done without. I would like the office of Executive Vice President to be that of an "inside-man" who is concerned with the organizations who use Norton Hall. I hope to try to bring about intelligent economies through example and effort. Dave Sites Rehibition/Govt. in Exile Party Do you think the Student Assembly has been an effective body? What are your views on the newly-ratified Student Senate and Financial Assembly? Include in your answer what steps you would take to make SA's legislative bodies representative of students. The Student Assembly has approached total ineffectiveness for this past year. Much of the year has been taken up in quibbling over a budget that was supposed to have been passed last May. Thus, while the administration closed the Day Care Center and while Dr. 1975‘/Fhe SpeGtrum/SA-Election Supplement . Page three �students. It should be maintained as a priority in order to insure the expansion and establishment of the various operations it controls on an income-offset basis. UUAB shall be another financial priority. Knowing that a major concert on this campus is economically unfeasible, co-sponsorship is a possibility and should be considered along with increases in other activities. Day-to-day operations of Sub-Board should be the responsibility of the Executive Director and Division Directors. The Board should only get involved when requested by a particular division or if it sees the need to insure its survival. It should also set fiscal priorities and establish long range plans while at the same time establishing student priorities. I also feel it an absolute necessity that Sub-Board be represented in Albany in order to seek a change in mandatory student fee guidelines. If elected, it will be my responsibility to go there and to insure the expansion and establishment of Sub-Board on a sound financial basis. Ketter spouted arrogant nonsense in his decision on Colleges chartering, the Assembly spent its time in deep debate on budgetary trivia. The newly-ratified Student Senate and Financial Assembly give every indication of making things worse, by increasing the already elitist tendencies of the SA. If elected, I will try to force a referendum to delete these groups from the SA's already overblown bureaucracy. The Financial Assembly, for example, is the mirror-image of the Assembly as now constituted. Another serious mistake is the growing tendency to How would you resolve the inevitable conflicts between your role as an undergraduate representative to Sub-Board (which represents the entire student body) and as chief officer with financial responsibilities for a corporation? % make SA work through committees, almost the definition of bureaucracy. If elected, myself and the other Rehibition/Government In Exile candidates will try to replace permanent committees (which are ironically called "task forces" in the new constitution f with true task forces which will disband when they are no longer needed. A task force on the Day Care Center was sorely needed this year, and it never quite materialized. At present, we could use task forces on the North Campus transition, the alleged Security harassment of dorm students and gays, and on constant administration attempts to wipe out the colleges.

Campus, which I feel is presently inadequate. Actions by the Sub-Board concerning any specific group should be reviewed by a bi-partisan committee composed of representatives of Sub-Board and representatives of the affected group. In this way, our decisions hopefully can be evaluated in a fair and just way. In addition, UUAB should present clear and thorough listings of the times, locations and prices of events it sponsors, so that plans for attendance can be easily determined by each potential customer. How would you resolve the inevitable conflicts between your role as an undergraduate representative to Sub-Board (which represents the entire student body) and as chief officer with financial responsibilities for a corporation? This year the chairman of Sub-Board will be from the GSA. The person elected Vice President for Sub-Board will be either the Vice Chairman or Treasurer of the corporation depending on the vote of all the members of the Board. As an officer of the Board, it will be my responsibility to represent all the students of this University and at the same time, as an officer of SA, it will be my responsibility to represent undergraduates. Because Sub-Board is a corporation owned and operated by students, it should represent the needs of students. Therefore, if a conflict did arise the outcome would, in either a direct or indirect way, benefit the students. If a conflict arose, my priorities for resolution would probably be in the best interests of the corporation in order to insure the future of it. Due to the fact that Sub-Board is there to provide tfte needs of the student and is controlled by students, I do not forsee many or very serious conflicts arising. As Vice President of Sub-Board, I must make decisions that are financially sound but yet agreeable to the student body. I feel it is important to give students the most that Sub Board can provide. On the other hand, if students demand something that I deem dangerous to the well-being of the corporation, it is also my duty to inform the student body as such and,try to find an alternative way to satisfy its wants. How do you interpret the role of Vice President, aside from his prescribed legislative duties? If elected, I will see my primary responsibility as replacing the current rigid committee system with flexible, task forces. For instance, university temporary non-compliance with Affirmative Action guidelines is a proper subject for SA interest, but could hardly be dealt with by a standing committee. On the other hand, the SA could appoint a task force with representation for campus minorities, and this task force would go out of existence after it issued its report or after the university fills the proposed post of Vice President for Affirmative Action. Different segments of the student body, as well as faculty members in some cases (as in Affirmative Action), would be represented on these task forces, with an eye toward representing those segments most affected by the question at hand. Revitalizing SA through a switch to this sort of problem solving would more than occupy my time in the office. Vice President for Sub-Board Harold J. Besmanoff Free Beer Party What direction should Sub-Board move in? Indude in your answer a discussion of financial priorities, structure and mode of operation. I feel that the Sub-Board should move in a direction towards more and better on-campus activities and services for both resident and commuter students. The activities and services should also be more evenly distributed between the Main Street and North Campuses for the benefit of North Campus residents and those students who commute from areas nearer to the Amherst Campus. Our finances should be allocated towards giving the student body a greater variety of activities through UUAB. In addition, student health services should be upgraded and expanded to provide more health service to the Amherst Page four The Spectrum/SA Election Supplement .

Bruce Campbell Changes Party What direction should Sub-Board move in? Include in your answer a discussion of financial priorities, structure and mode of operation. Sub-Board I is owned and operated by students and has the responsibility to provide services for the student not already provided them by the state. The main objective of Sub-Board should be to provide these services while striving to establish and maintain them on an income-offset basis in order to insure the future of Sub-Board. With the resolving of the Amherst land between Sub-Board and FSA, a top priority will be the sale of this land with the interest from the proceeds going to the students via Sub-Board I. Having been in existence a little over a year now, the Health Care division has proven its ability to provide professional, low cost services to the 1975 Sub-Board I is a service corporation which should serve the entire student body. Health Care and publications affect most students directly, and thus should remain high-priority items. UUAB, which has by far the largest share of Sub-Board appropriations, should find some way to either cut down initial expenditures or else make back more money to offset the initial cost. For instance, their Music Committee might think of co-producing concerts with local promoters since this might result in inexpensive tickets with less of a UUAB subsidy. A major priority should be to transfer some activities and services out to the North Campus now that a majority of on-campus students now live there. Sub-Board should provide services the University doesn't provide or provides inadequately. Sub-Board's divisions, including Health Care, Housing, UUAB, publications, Norton House Council, serve real student needs. Sub-Board must keep and expand these services where the students desire expansion. With the Health Care division, for example, the new Student Pharmacy would need quite a bit of funding and it is up to Sub-Board to �decide whether it will get it. Each division of Sub-Board should be able to determine where its money should be spent. With almost one-third of student fees going to Sub-Board, student representation on the Board is a must. I would seek University-wide elected undergraduate members of Sub-Board rather than appointed positions. How would you resolve the inevitable conflicts between your role as an undergraduate representative to Sub-Board (which represents the entire student body) and as chief officer with financial responsibilities for a corporation? This "inevitable" conflict will come up only if there is some proposed Sub-Board project which will either help undergraduates while hurting the rest of the students or vice-versa. While keeping the corporation solvent is a must if it is to serve its purpose, services must come first. As a member of the Board of Directors of a Sub-Board Division (Housing), I've gained a good deal of insight into how Sub-Board works and into its potential for meeting future needs of students. As a coordinator for Sunshine House for two years, and as a past worker in the Student Legal Aid Clinic, I've gained some sensitivity as to what service to the students means. And I would use this insight and sensitivity to continue the generally good job Sub-Board has been doing, as well as towards its growth and expansion. the best mileage out of student monies. How would you resolve the inevitable conflicts between your role as an undergraduate representative to Sub-Board (which represents the entire student body) and as chief officer with financial responsibilities for a corporation? As a representative to Sub-Board, my first consideration would be to the corporation. The reason is simple: if Sub-Board I, Inc. should go bancrupt or can no longer function for some reason, all six student governments that work through it would be in serious trouble. I would have to represent the concerns of the undergraduate students with the understanding that Sub-Board must be preserved for the future and that only so much can be squeezed out of it. I would attempt to find out what the priorities of the undergraduate population are and work for the best way to implement them. Holding the requests of special interest groups in perspective is important to prevent the misrepresentation of the whole student body by a few very I would not, first of all, be intimidated by pressure from any special interest group. In dealing with them personally, I would first try to reason with the group and discuss the situation. I would listen to their requests just as I would listen to those of any other group. If, however, the pressure continued, I would strengthen my stand and point out the fact that I would not be influenced by threats of "scare tactics." When working out the budget, I would consider the group like any other group. I would take into consideration the size of the group, how many people would benefit from the group, what types of services or activities are offered by the group, the group's place in the community or the University, the future needs of the group, etc. No member of the SA should let himself be influenced the pressure of any group. He should be objective in dealing with all matters as far as possible. That which is best for the overall University should always be by considered. vocal groups. Sub-Board was set up to meet the needs of students and the best way I can see to make this a reality is to make it efficient and responsive. Treasurer Carol Block Changes Party Do you forsee your job as keeping the SA books and facilitating the budgeting of student fees or as making policy? If it is the latter, what are your budgetary priorities? James Smith Scope Party What direction should Sub-Board move in? Include in your answer a discussion of financial priorities, structure and mode of operation. Providing students with the best possible health care services at the lowest possible price should be the number one priority of Sub-Board. Sub-Board should move into the expansion of student health related services that presently exist. The clinical lab has shown that it can operate on a break even basis, and should be expanded wherever feasible. The proposed student pharmacy has been proposed long enough. Let's get the approval of the concerned government agencies, the personnel from the pharmacy school and the funds needed to open it. Sub-Board should be prepared to underwrite the cost of the first one to two years before it is established enough to be run on an income-offset basis. Improve and make sure that the services of the Birth Control Clinic, the Pregnancy Counseling Center, the Clinical Lab, and the Blood Assurance Program are well publicized and readily available to students on both campuses. UUAB presently receives the largest part of the Sub-Board allocations. However, it is not as financially sound as it could be. Removing any waste and/or poor management must be done, as well as finding better ways to get more student input into the various committees. The different University publications funded by Sub-Board, The Spectrum, University Press, Ethos, and the special interest publications are the most important sources of information that students have and must be funded and managed to their best extent. Sub-Board is the collection and dispersement agency for six student governments. Its administrative budget has to be funded properly so that it can carry out its operations as quickly and efficiently as possible. Norton Hall is the hub of student activities and organizations on campus. The Browsing Library, the Music Room and Norton House Council are all funded by Sub-Board and need to be supported on at least the same levels for continued quality service. The ultimate priority of Sub-Board should be to get Paul Bonanno Scope Party Do you forsee your job as keeping the SA books and facilitating the budgeting of student fees or as making policy? If it is the latter, what are your budgetary priorities? The job of the treasurer does involve a great deal of bookkeeping. That is a very important responsibility of the Treasurer. It requires a good knowledge of accounting and bookkeeping to be able to keep track of SA funds. I believe, however, that the job goes beyond this. The Treasurer should help coordinate the disbursement of funds, and work toward the development of a budget which is in the best interest of the students and the University. Athletics should be maintained, at the very least, at same level as previous years. The possibility of increased health care services would be a benefit to the students. Means of getting more commuter students involved in on-campus activities should be looked into. Many services and activities can be revised instead of new ones being formed, and, the end result will be the same increased benefit to the students. The Treasurer, however, like any other SA member, should work according to the rules and regulations set forth in the constitution. the — If you were Treasurer this year, how would you have handled a $100,000 deficit? A $100,000 deficit is quite large. Too large, in my estimation, to pay back very quickly. I would study all possible ways of paying the debt over several years. In this way, no one year would be penalized severely, and, normal spending would not have to be cut drastically. How will you deal with pressure from special interest groups? To be a complete Treasurer one must incorporate keeping the books, facilitating the budgets, and making decisions. The most important aspect of the office is having the knowledge to keep a close watch on the financial matters of Student Association. However, one must also be able to balance budgetary priorities with equitable funding for the entire system. Although being chairman of the Finance Committee involves making policy, it must be remembered that this committee is charged with representing Student Assembly priorities, and at the very least, those of the Executive Committee. The new Financial Assembly should aid the Treasurer greatly, but a yearly budget survey is a necessity. Different methods of funding should be looked into for Maintaining many organizations, including athletics. exorbitant budgets is unfair to the student body, and more funds should be channeled into intramurals and recreation. Additionally, we fund find funds to budget for new projects such as SCATE. If you were Treasurer this year, how would you have handled a $100,000 deficit? If I was faced with a $100,000 deficit upon entering I would immediately freeze all budgets. No spending at all would be allowed and stipends would be eliminated. Salaries would be frozen and if absolutely necessary, employees would have to be laid off. Most importantly, those organizations responsible for the deficit would be prohibited from receiving funding. After a strict review of the entire budget, I would gradually decontrol some budgets, but would probably mandate an across-the-board ten percent cut in spending. Budgets would be controlled by the funds available system, and no bills would be received for any organization spending past its available limit. office, How wilt you deal with pressure from special interest groups? We would at first try to head off the necessity for pressure by special interest groups by conducting budget 1975 . The Spectrum/SA Election Supplement. Page five r. �fc: hearing in the atmosphere of negotiation, rather than confrontation. With particularly controversial budgets, negotiation teams from SA, the group in question and third parties would be set up and counterproposals would be offered. The techniques of mediation or binding arbitration could be employed in these circumstances. Of course, in a potentially explosive situation, the first objective would be to quiet both sides down before any further business would be conducted. The job of the Treasurer in this situation is to act as a consultant to both sides and provide factual information regarding the financial situation of SA. Barbara Vaccaro Rehibition/Covt. in Exile Party Do you forsee your job as keeping the SA books and facilitating the budgeting of student fees or as making policy? If it is the latter, what are your budgetary priorities? While the SA Treasurer has to keep the books and oversee the budgeting of student fees, there is no reason that this cannot be a policy-making post. In order to get adequate amounts of money to those who deserve it, wasteful expenditures must be cut out. For instance, in this year's budget, $10,000 was budgeted for two organizations which overspent their appropriations for telephone bills by that amount. This would be enough to pay the entire appropriation for Legal Aid Clinic for one year, and almost enough to run PIRG for a year. The stipends for 16 different SA bureaucrats have got to be cut down drastically, if not totally eliminated. If elected, I would do anything in my power to cut stipends to a maximum of $300 a semester, and this only for the President, the two Vice Presidents and the Treasurer, since these approach full-time jobs that would prevent those office-holders frbm keeping part-time jobs to pay school expenses. I would strive to eliminate summer stipends. SA officials should have to work real jobs over the summer just like other students do. In line with the Rehibition/Government In Exile pledge to institute Alternative Three so each student can decide where their fee money should be spent, I see my job as bringing this idea to fruition. It's going to take a lot of work initially, but in the long run. Alternative Three will make things easier and more equitable. is incompetent or the course is a waste of time. SCATE should be recognized by the Faculty-Senate and distributed, assembled, and funded by students. 2. Four course load A crisis is approaching over the four course load justification in the Humanities and the Social Sciences. Students should work with faculty in this regard and issue a clear cut resolution for maintaining four courses. 3. Advisement The present system is inadequate. I advocate a 2/2 plan whereby the Freshman and Sophomore years are handled by the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) and the Junior and Senior years (or whenever a student declares his major) will be handled by the faculty advisors. This will provide students with advisors who have more time and better practical knowledge in the field. 4. Faculty-Senate Perhaps the most important avenue to advance is bringing motivated student representation to the Senate. As a member of the Educational Planning and Policy Committee, I see where our educational matters are being handled. Changes advocates student expertise not only in the Senate, but also on the Curriculum committee and at all levels of Tenure and Promotion review. Students must have a voice in determining academic policy. — — — What trends have academics taken over the past five years? What can students really do about academics? Academic policy is now moving away from the social consciousness of the late 1960's and early 1970's toward the more traditional fields. Grades and jobs now seem to the prime consideration of students, and thus, universities are regressing back to the era of repressive academic policies. Here at Buffalo, our own Faculty-Senate is very much interested in re-establishing a mandatory Freshman course in general education and is be What should be the criteria for the granting of recognition and budgets to dubs? If an imaginary club "Young Fascists for Freedom" composed of 50 members desired both SA recognition and funding, would you recommend it? The only fair way to handle such a huge deficit (1/8 of SA's annual budget) would be first cut stipends to the bone, then do the same with other SA internal expenses (i.e., travel). Since entire allocation for internal SA expenses does not approach $100,000, we would then have to hold public hearings to determine what services and activities are most expendable for one year. I would guess that groups which serve the entire student body, like Sunshine House and Legal Aid, would be immune from major cuts. For one year, the student body could get along with seeing a few less right-wing politicos and aging movie stars through Speaker's Bureau, or at least not paying the presently in the process of composing a report.

Some criteria for recognition are: 1. all clubs and organizations must show that its purposes materially differ from any other clubs or organizations already, established. 2. its membership must be open to any member of the undergraduate day student body and 3. it must have elected officers. If the club, "Young Fascists for Freedom" abided by the requirements for recognition of student organizations (as stated in the Student Activities Committee Guidelines for Recognition) I would recommend recognition, but NOT funding. N.Y. State law prohibits the use of mandatory student activity fees for political or religious groups.

My goals and the goals of my party are realistic and can be acieved through a new spirit of cooperation among the student body. Judi Young Scope Party State your goals for the comming year and how you plan to achieve them. Every club and organization on our campus has the right to be recognized and appropriately funded by the Student Association, whether they consist of 50 members or 5,000 members, so long as their objectives are within the realm of the Student Association Constitution and will represent the student body as a whole. Although allocations may not be of equal amounts, since it is obvious that 5,000 students would need a greater amount of money in order to function as adequately as the 50 member club, I will propose and try my best to insure that no organization will receive budget cuts in order to give more to others. In other words, no club would gain the right to attain extra money if not needed. If cuts due to inflation must be made, they would be made equally, according to each budget size just as they should be distributed evenly. I will encourage each club to produce many, instead of few, representatives according to the size of their club so that they may be heard equally within the Student Assembly. What should be the criteria for the granting of recognition and budgets to dubs? If an imaginary dub "Young Fascists for Freedom" composed of 50 members desired both SA recognition and funding, would you recommend it? Explain. Criteria for the granting of recognition and budgets to clubs should be as follows: 1.

This would be in conjunction with improved overall bps service between State University at Buffalo facilities and the implementation of a shuttle bus for around North Campus. Another goal would be to help bring back Health Service to North Campus and to improve the other services, i.e.. Legal Aid. Along with this, I would want to make sure that the problems of lack of heat and janitorial services that occurred in Richman Hall last semester don't occur again. I feel it is imperative that problems of this nature be solved quickly and to the benefit of the students involved. I Would want to bring the activities of the Legal Aid Clinic and the Student-Wide Judiciary to the attention of the student body to a greater extent than they have been.

Students should realize there are alternative methods of education being used within the University whicn they can avail themselves of. Students have been oriented towards academia and paying useless IRC fees instead of being informed of services which are relevant to their basic personal needs, i.e., birth control clinic, the counseling center, and the previously mentioned facilities. This information should be made available along with academic affairs. I intend to make this information available in order to make for a full orientation of all new students. The job of summer and fall orientation would be included in your position. How would you orient a new student to this campus? amount of members 2. Review of the objectives in the organization with respect to all students' needs and interests. The organization must have plans as to how these needs would be met. 3. The clubs must show their primary interests concerning educational and social objectives with correlation to the Student Association objectives and constitution, 4. The total number of members as compared to the total school student body being represented through such an organization. 5. Clubs must submit an outline stating why they should be recognized and budgeted. (This would be used for budget review.) 6. Agreement from the club that the above outline will be examined yearly in case of any changes made within the year. As I stated in my first answer, all organizations and dubs hqve the right to go forth to the Student Association and become recognized and budgeted, so long as such criteria is met. If such an organization as the "Young Fascists for Freedom" came to SA with the idea of attaining recognition through the criteria, I would recommend them, just as I would any other club. If they did not, however, meet the criteria, I would be hesitant in recommending them since it would be obvious that in some way, they would not be representing our student body and school to their fullest extent. I feel that the orientation process is very important. Not only must the incoming students be shown where things are but the workings of the University systems must be explained to them. Therefore the advisors must know not only the physical campus but they must also know, and be able to explain, all of the services and University Authorities, i.e.. Housing, Admissions & Records. I think that an important part of orientation is to develop a feeling of friendship and helpfulness among all the incoming students, including foreign students, transfer and commuter students. Because of this I would want International Affairs and Commuter Affairs involved in the program. Steven Schwartz Changes Party State your goals for the coining year and how you plan to achieve them. The job of Director of Student Affairs in my opinion has a great responsibility in that it must be responsive to the needs of the students. One of the main problems with the Student Association now is that it is very closed off and dows not know the everyday problems of students.

There are definitely problems of busing, food service and housing and many students are dissatisfied with these facilities. The student government has neither been receptive nor responsive to your individual needs as students. You in the present situation have no viable means of communicating with your government. There are no simple answers to your individual needs. Those who present elaborate platforms of stock solutions are demonstrating by their methods that they are not interested in what you have to say.

In addition, the new students should be The job of summer and fall orientation would be included in your position. How would you orient a new student to this campus? My main responsibility during the orientations is to make myself known and to convey the feeling that if there are any problems or questions, students can always come to the SA office for help. During the summer I would like to organize some sort of presentation which would introduce the clubs and services aspects of the University. This could be done in a number of ways. Two ways would be to set up a display in Norton Hall as well as a short presentation with a question and answer session. Also SA should continue to run night activities such as coffeehouses and trips to Niagara Falls. The fall orientation can be very different from the way it has been in the past. One important difference could be the distribution of "insider's guide to UB" handbook, which would try to deal with the problems that will confront most of the freshmen and transfer students. Also, during the first two weeks I would like to run an activities fair with the other directors in which all clubs (academic as well as social) would set up booths in Norton Hall. I would also like to set up some afternoon mixers where freshmen and transfers could sit down, relax and meet each other. 1975 The Spectrum/SA Election Supplement.

However, not yours everybody likes to pick up a copy of their college paper and see that the staff has devoted over 100 — lines to something as political as the mandatory fee. It seems quite clear that The Spectrum and SA are close buddies. But frankly speaking, you really shouldn’t have done what you did. The majority of students here really don’t give a damn how The Spectrum feels about any particular political situation here at UB. 1 mean, after all, the stuff you print really can’t be taken seriously. Most of the students probably read your paper just to get a good laugh. Most of your articles are funny and I’m afraid to say even the most serious ones. But I guess that’s just the way you plan it. Being a parakeet, I enjoy mostly bird jokes and when I read OLIPHANT I get a kick out of my little relative the bird. So, when it comes to Guest Opinion by Charles J. Ciotta Students for the Future of A thletlcs This essay is written to shed some much needed light and perhaps instill some new view points of the motives of intercollegiate athletics on a university campus and the community. It is directed towards the Student Assembly and its , elected leaders and also any member of the student body who will take the time to consider its content. The Student Assembly and its leaders have clearly shown their position and attitude towards intercollegiate athletics through their past voting records in the Assembly and their present attempt to gather support in an effort to severely reduce and cut out completely the budgets allocated to several varsity sports on the University campus. It is the same group which has classified itself as representatives of the total student body. Physical Education activities are open to all students and not solely physical education majors. Credits in Physical Education activities are required ofall students with noted exceptions. In the Physical Education Department, any student majoring or minoring may take courses for credit. They may repeat these courses for credit only if that activity is offered on an intermediate or advanced level. Varsity sports (men’s and women’s) are considered advanced courses for this purpose, by the National Association of Physical Educators and coaches. Varsity sports are a laboratory much as Acheson is a laboratory for chemistry and pharmacy majors to apply experiments and perfect the classroom knowledge. They have attained, in the past, by cutting football and reducing the funds for basketball. The Student Assembly and Finance Committee has taken away the right of students to attain advanced instruction in the skills and strategies of basketball and football for students majoring or minoring in Physical Education. A solid and good Physical Education Department cannot exist without intercollegiate sports. Without coaches who will instruct those desiring a Physical Education course, intramurals could not function properly without the expertise available in the department. By cutting or limiting hockey, wrestling or gymnastics, you also rob students of the benefit of advanced instruction in the skills and strategies of these sports for students majoring or minoring in Physical Education. By simply cutting any sport on an intercollegiate level, you steal the aspiration of any student (major or minor) who may benefit from advanced and concentrated instruction as well as the lectures and practical demonstration from expert qualified coaches (who would not be here unless there was a good extensive Physical being political remember, IT JUST WON’T WORK! By the way, your paper makes a wonderful lining for my bird cage. Tweet Education program). You injure those who intend to coach or require a thorough knowledge of the sport. By limiting or cutting sports, you also destroy the opportunity for students in medical related fields, primarily studying athletic training, to apply first hand on a professional level the basic principles in the prevention and care of athletic injuries and the duties of an athletic trainer in response to the different athletes types and various sports. You destroy the means by which grad students in the deparment may do advanced work and apply their knowledge through assisting of UB teams. Your actions are like taking a stage from an actor. What next? Do we take every book written on sports and athletics, pile them and burn them? You steal from students the ability to do field work properly, which is designed to enable them to observe, study and conduct research projects in the various sports. You drive the beneficial expertise of qualified coaches away from this University. Your actions cripple students interested in concepts, principles and techniques of supervision in varsity sports used by those aspiring to be supervisors, coaches, teachers and superintendents in the supervision of Physical Education. You have made no investigation of your own and now you take away from others the ability to investigate the social aspects of sport on a varsity level. You have made no attempt to place emphasis on sport and view its relationship to the processes of stratification, social socialization, social discrimination and social change. You fail to see and now you try to censor others from seeing the group’s dynamics as it pertains to small and large sport groups. In these groups the influence of environmental and population factors, interpersonal relationships and group structure characteristics on individual player adjustments and team effectiveness are evident. You give no consideration to small and large sports as sub-cultures, as would be the view of Physical Education majors, grad students and those actively involved in intercollegiate sports. How could a student study to any level of proficiency all aspects of the interscholastic and intercollegiate athletic program without one. These are just some of the ramifications of your actions and you will be called to atone for them. I am ashamed to be part of a University governed by a biased bureaucracy which effects the lives of so many and never asks or polls the students of this University but only goes on and represents so few. In the present state of things any one can get on the Assembly being placed there by no one and given the power to propose amendments detrimental to others but never having to worry about any constituency to answer to. Today you are being called on by the Students for the Future of Athletics (SFA) to answer. Cretoza Pertz (Parakeet) P.S. Your blank page isn’t blank anymore New improvements?

I take this opportunity not to discuss the pros and cons of a mandatory fee per se for the recent referendum has rendered that subject academic, at least for another four years. However, 1 would like to raise several questions concerning the referendum that 1 find interesting. During the days preceding the referendum, an enormous campaign was carried on by the Student Association, a number of clubs it sponsors and the major student periodicals; all totally or partly funded with mandatory fees. Articles were written by the overpowerful periodicals to supplement the enormous amount of propaganda quickly spreading across the University making the “yea” vote a foregone conclusion. In the time I’ve been here, never has such a campaign been carried on for a non-election issue. Yet something seems unfair about all this. If the mandatory fee was to be used to overwhelmingly publish the pros of the issue, why then wasn’t a campaign of equal proportion carried on to inform the student body of the various alternatives available to them? i.e, selective distribution of student monies. Why wasn’t any campaign carried on at all . . . let alone one of equal proportion? Of 3,000 some odd persons to vote on the issue, over 1,000 voted against the fee. What What really happened?

In the welter of controversy about police harassment of gay males, this is no time to let an addition to the growing list of, shall we say, pairs of mutually contradictory statements by Campus Security, go uncriticized. would the outcome have been if any substantial campaign were carried on informing of alternatives to a mandatory fee? It makes education students you wonder!! Has the fee been abused at the very time its continuance is at issue? Why was the “yea” vote ramrodded through? Think about it!

Automobile sales were up 3.1 percent from January, 1974, to January 1975, and the number of cars offering sales rebates were up 88 percent, according to economist Darrell Berchen. Four-fifths of these sales were small cars, while sales on all other cars declines. Some economists believe that tbtal sales may not rise much above 6.5 million and for American-made' autos, not much higher than 5.6 million. If that is the case, it will be the first year since World War II that the auto industry has suffered two consecutive years of decline. “As far as the energy crisis nobody seems to be concerned,” said Thomas Over, sales manager of a Buffalo Chevrolet firm. “We’ve sold more cars this January than we sold last January.” Douglas Conley, sales manager of Gulliver Motors, Ltd., found that customers are “buying a really expensive car or a really economical car.” Another sales manager observed that “People are buying small new carrs and small used cars.” > representation at negotiations. “No national student group, to my knowledge, has taken a stand on the federal legislation concept, which is to me frightening,” said Research Project director Alan Shark.

Legislation introduced Last year a bill (HR 9730) was introduced to do just that. Another bill (HR 8677) introduced would create a Employment separate Public Relations Commission on a national level. Neither of these bills promise anything in the way of student FARE: $35.00 Trade anything Bob Teeto, the sales manager of Toyota Inc. said, “We’ll trade anything on a trade. We’ll take old stoves. We’ll take anything.” Chrysler/Plymouth dealer John Hatfield, is accepting “anything” as a trade-in on his latest models.

March 10-14 Because of the overproduction of small cars, the regional manager of General Motors Public Relations, indicated that a rebate program was needed to stimulate sales in compact and sub-compact cars. This program consists of knocking from $200 to $600 off the list prices. The rebate program has thusfar been successful by revitalizing small car sales. Chrysler/Plymouth has also used the rebates to its advantage. shortage. “There’s a lot of gasoline if you can afford to pay for it,” Mr. Over stated. Mr. Bishop also believed that the lack of confidence in the economy has caused car sales to drop. Mr. Beschen believes that the decline in car sales has resulted from a multitude of reasons, including the energy crisis, the decrease of personal income, Encouraging with gimmicks Major auto dealers have tried to encourage sales through various gimmicks, such as furnishing small cars with a luxury feature that was previously optional. This has caused the base price to soar, and has actually discouraged small car sales. Small car sales fell to 46 percent of hte market in October and continued to drop slightly thereafter. The price spread between the basic full-size cars and the “luxury” small cars narrowed enough to stimulate some sales of bigger models, resulting in an oversuoply of small cars. affiliate, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) have been behind several past attempts to extend the National Labor Relations Act to public WASHINGTON, D.C. Jerry Bishop, The rapid decline in car sales across the country has evidently touched bottom and sales are gradually moving up, according to the New York Times. , THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COMMITTEE AND THE I.E.L.I. PRESENT A TRIP TO More favorable to students, said Shark, would be legislation that would force the states to set up their own public employee bargaining procedures. Under the federal blanket of the NLRB students have virtually no chance; at least within their own states they could bring more clout to bear, he reasoned. Lifesigns Some student groups have seen state lobbying as the way to go. In particular, student government leaders in Wisconsin have gained support from several legislators for guaranteed observer status for students in higher education bargaining. One state legislator has also proposed that campus governance procedures shall not be included in collective bargaining, which would at least safeguard student rights won in that area. A few other groups have chosen not to go the lobbying route and have attempted to organize student unions to negotiate directly with their administrations on the basis of ’60’s-style power politics.

Student Organizing Project. “Workers can band together and say ‘we want to designate one agent to negotiate our contract.* That’s what tii'i labor movement was about years before they passed laws in the *30’s that set up a formal procedure.” Mr. Phelps pointed out that in several states without formal laws, faculties bargaining collective bargain under policies established by their own universities. A similar policy from the Univ. of Mass, regents could allow students there to bargain, he reasoned. Whatever strategy students choose regarding the obscure and disputed world of collective bargaining law, they had best choose one. Otherwise, from all accounts, they could find their higher education little more than a finishing factory to churn out the latest obsolete vehicles for a sagging economy.

In this “winning is everything” world we live in, AIA is out to win, but not the contest. As the athletic ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ, Athletes-in-Action considers its primary goal to win souls for Christ by presenting the message of Jesus to the sports world. Of course, it’s important to win. People respect and listen to you when you win. AIA’s eight teams, competing in six sports, play top major college competition, and have yet to be embarassed. The basketball team, formed in 1967, had a winning record in its first year of competition, defeating such collegiate powers as USC, Davidson and South Carolina. From that modest start, AIA has expanded to wrestling, gymnastics, weight-lifting, track and flag football. The wrestling team is probably the most successful of all the teams, winning better than 82 percent of their matches over five years. Both the basketball and wrestling life, to lead me and show me what he wanted me to do.” Both Newsome and teammate Lester Madison have experienced all sorts of changes since they invited Christ into their lives. “I’ve learned that if you play in a basketball game,” Madison said, “regardless of what the final score is, if you didn’t play your best and still won the game, you may be a winner in the crowd’s eyes, but in God’s eyes you’re a loser “I’ve seen a lot of changes in myself, and I’ve gained a lot of trust in God,” Newsome added. “1 have many chances to talk with Him, and I’ve seen what He’s done for people I’ve prayed for.” Often, AIA leaves a member of the team behind if the players are receptive to their message, as they did at Canisius last week. More than 2.5 million in live audiences have heard AIA speak since the program began in 1967. ” have split into East and West squads, with continuing success at the same level. The highlight of the A1A performance is the half time exhibition. The players, who receive extensive training prior to joining their respective teams, use the exhibition session to explore how Christ has changed their lives and how those in the audience can meet Him if they so desire. The players are most effective in their presentation because they’ve already experienced what they are presenting to the audience. Jim King, head coach of the AIA West basketball team, summed it up this way; “I believe in the message that Athletes-in-Action stands for because my personal relationship with God has been the driving force of my life Steve Newsome, a member of the AIA-West squad and a former player at Houston, discussed his acceptance of Christ. “I spent a few weeks with the Chicago Bulls last summer. On my way home after being cut, I was thinking that my life was going down the drain. I had worked for all basketball had to offer me, and now I didn’t know what I was going to do. 1 needed someone to help me, and there is no one else you can turn to except Jesus Christ, the Son of God. “So I knelt down and asked Christ to come into my ” Top notch athletes Much of the success Athletes-in-Action has had, both on the field and off, has been due to the impact of the key athletes who have participated. King is fromer NBA professional and ex-collegiate stars like Vince Smith and Danny Beard dot the East roster. TTie wrestling squads, both among the top amateur wrestling powers in the country, feature Olympic medalist John Peterson, and former All-Americans Bob Anderson and Dan Sherman. What started as an improbable, unrealistic dream just eight years ago has turned into one of the most powerful ministries on the campuses of the United States. A1A performed before nearly 700,000 people last year alone, and has plans to appear on 66 television stations before more than 40 million homes on television next year. Three champs Bull grapplers take state title of his five starters plus Mike Jones to the line-up. This combination worked hotter than the others, but Buffalo could not gel any closer than six points. by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer The basketball Bulls were no match for the Athletes-in-Action (AIA) cagers Saturday night Buffalo fell behind early, never did catch up or even mount a serious comeback, losing 78-70. Athletes-in-Action is composed of players who have completed college. They travel across the country, never playing a home game, with a schedule longer than any other coleegiate team. However, since the team is not a college team, the game does not count on their opponent’s reerd. The first half indicated that the Bulls might have had this on their minds. “We didn’t play in the first half,” said Bulls coach Leo Richardson. “We had 14 turnovers, and we couldn’t work the ball.” Buffalo’s 29 percent shooting didn’t help either. Richardson, as he has done occasionally in the past, substituted five players at once. Unfortunately, the second quintet played like they had been excommunicated from team basketball. The game became an illustration of “first man up court shoots.” For the second half, Richardson returned four Testing ground After the game. Richardson initmated that because the game didn't count, he was using it as sort of a testing ground for his ballplayers. "The ten guys we had out there make up the nucleus lor next year's team." he noted. “Light are coming back out of ten. If they can continue to play together for two or three more games, we'll be set lor next year." “We've got some pretty good young ballplayers, like Larry JOnes and (Ron) McGraw, McCiraw s still the best ballplayer on the team." Richardson added. Buffalo Ians were irealed to an unusual half-time show. AIA is part of the Campus Cursade for Christ, and is based on religion as the guiding force behind the athletes. They try to spread Christianity, and after a frantic search lor a microphone, the athletes themselves tell what Christianity has meant to them. Cor what it's worth, the half-time show received an much applause as any part of the game. —C«nt«r Out of the 104 teams that played intramural basketball this year, 32 qualified for last week's tournament. Now, after the first two rounds, only eight are left.- The tournament continues tonight with the quarterfinals in Clark Hall at 8:15 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. The senfffinals wilt be at Sweet Home Thursday night, with the final back in Clark Hall Sunday at 3 p.m. Intercollegiate referees have been hired for the semifinals and championship game.

Senior Jim Young made it two years in a row as he decisioned Brockport’s Abe Lang at 134. In a low scoring match Young rode Lang for the entire second period.

A universal weight machine is also being installed. Mr. Sailes hopes to inaugurate a tennis clinic on Saturday mornings and a women’s night once a week. He said he would organize leagues or tournaments if students request them. However, for the first few weeks, the Bubble will be used for open play in order to “let the people get the feel of everything.” A bus will be stopping regularly at the Bubble on its way to and from Ellicott.

The student reported that he immediately made an effort to leave the area, and was told by the officer “never to come back again because we don’t want people who Responding to allegations that undercover Security officers have been harassing students in the vicinity of Harriman basement, a photographer from The Spectrum was positioned in the area.

He indicated that he had merely stopped people and demanded identification “primarily on the weekends” when there seemed to be a “greater concentration of non-student men in the Johns'. “We have arrested six or seven gay men in the last couple of weeks,” said Mr. Menkeiena. In four out of the seven cases, the offenders had performed overt illegal sexual acts, he claims. Officer Menkeiena stated that he regards this investigation as an “objective job” and is trying to carry it out as “professionally as possible.” Popular hangout Pat Glennon, director of Security, has agreed that certain “people” have congregated in Harriman and Crosby for the purpose of “illegal and immoral sexual activity.” However, gay supporters claim that the Harriman and —continued from page 1— » Crosby basements are a popular hangout for many of their the friends, in much the same way that people gather on the or in machines, food third floor of Norton Hall by*the Rathskellar.

Campaign firsts The 1975 campaign boasts several “firsts.” It is the first election under the new SA Constitution, passed earlier this month. It is the first time in many years that only one complete ticket has sought election and the first time a candidate has run for SA office after holding office in Millard Fillmore College. (John Scope’s Presidential Sullivan, candidate, is currently President of the Millard Fillmore College He is, Student Association. duly registered a however, daytime undergraduate.) The campaign features the oldest candidate in sometime Michael Levinson, Presidential candidate of the Indian Party, age 34. He was an undergraduate before the University joined the SUNY system (though he is now re-registered as an undergraduate). His original student number had only five digits. For the first time since 1966, a sitting SA President is running for office. Clinton Deveaux ran for 1966, easily in re-election retaining his Presidential scat. Frank Jackalonc, the current SA President, is running for a position as a SASU delegate. Debbie Benson, SA President in 1972-73 also ran for that position, but in a separate election after she had left office. Finally, for the first time, two candidates for office are married. Arthur LaLonde, and Judith Young are both married, but not to each other.

The doors closest to the ramp in the Governors Residence Halls are kept locked for security reasons. Once inside, the handicapped must contend with the maze of narrow hallways. Elevator keys were previously impossible to obtain, but the lock has been changed and copies are now available to those who need them. In addition to problems of mobility on campus, the handicapped must also overcome difficulties traveling between campuses. For those who cannot operate an automobile, the CAC group points out that seatless busses or trucks with hydraulic lifts would be ways to ease the problem. Those who are able to drive are permitted to utilize parking spaces reserved for the handicapped.

Its leaders have called for the resignation of Sports Editor Bruce Engel on the grounds that he has a “negative attitude” toward athletes and the athletic Pressuring SA Athletic group fights for funds by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer In the last ten days, a new faction of students has burst onto the Student Association (SA) scene. It calls itself Students for the Future of Athletics (SFA) and its goal is to reestablish some dignity to a Buffalo athletic program which has been bent, folded, spindled, and mutilated by budget cuts for the last few years. SFA opened shop a week ago Tuesday at a closed meeting of varsity athletes. They devised a game plan for how they could successfully compel SA to allocate the funds they feel are necessary to keep Buffalo athletics intact. At the Student Assembly meeting of February 12, about thirty athletes came out in support of SFA. The group’s leader, All-American wrestler Jim Young, addressed the Assembly. Mr. Young said the immediate goal of SFA is “to promote athletics and maintain the rest of the (athletic] program.” He added that SFA wants its program “to go back to the way it was. We feel that any athletic team has the right to exist as much as any other SA-funded club.” In motion Mr. Young also said SFA would not stand by and watch its demands be brushed aside by the Assembly. “We will ask for the resignation of certain people. We will meet with Dr. Ketter. If need be, we will go to Albany and inform legislators about what .is facing on here,” declared. Mr. Young introduced specific complaints about current athletic program which SFA wants resolved. noted that the Athletic Department lost $7000 publicity cuts, facilities are inferior, and supplies program. Both Mr. Engel and SA President Frank Jackalone were invited to SFA’s meeting last Tuesday. Mr. Young claimed that Mr. Engel lacked confidence in his ability as a journalist and was not doing enough for athletics public he the He relations. in arc meager To better understand exactly what SFA was demanding, members of SA’s executive board met Monday with SFA leaders and with the Student Athletic Review Board (SARB) which is charied by Dennis Delia. At the meeting, SA President Frank Jackalone and Student Affairs Coordinator Howard Schapiro proposed a new athletic budget which cuts out five of the smaller men’s intercollegiate sports. Provisions were also made to allow SFA and SARB to make their own budget proposals, which they did at Wednesday’s meeting of the SA Assembly. Up the sleeve But budget proposals aren’t the only ways SFA is trying to resolve its problems. Since it cannot pass any pro-athletic budget without Assembly support, it has begun a drive to attract as many of its members as possible into SA before the February 28 deadline. SFA also has endorsed the pro-athletic ticket led by presidential hopeful John Sullivan, and enlisted the help of SA assemblyman Jon Burgess to explain the finer points of parliamentary procedure. Our man Mr. Engel quickly rebuked these statements, saying, “1 have considered resigning as Sports Editor for a great variety of reasons. Confidence is not one of them.” As for his being a PR man, Mr. Engel explained, that his job as editor' “is to disseminate news in as effective, exciting, and descriptive way as possible, I am not your agent to represent your case.” Mr. Engel was also accused of distorting sports coverage but a consortium of The Spectrum sportswriters disputed this claim. To offset the “bad copy” that SFA feels athletes have been getting, Mr. Young plans to publish a sports newspaper written by the athletes. “We’re going to have a with some positive articles and positive writers instead of The Spectrum writing its negative articles about us,” he explained. Mr. Jackalone addressed SFA about the Executive Committee’s budget proposal for athletics. After explaining each line of the budget, which eliminates five sports, he warned that neither the State of New York nor the President of this University is likely to rush to the aid of inten e sports. Assembly rejects SFA, SARB budget proposals by Clem Colucci Special Features Editor A tired Student Assembly recessed Wednesday evening after two hours of debate that led to rejection of two of the four alternative athletic budgets presented to it. The Assembly rejected the Student Athletic Review Board’s (SARB) proposed $229,232.91 budget after making clear it would not consider a $266,400.00 proposal from the Students for the Future > of Athletics (SFA). In other action, the Assembly voted to allocate $18,529.16 in overpaid disbursing fees (fees that go to Sub-Board for handling SA’s banking and other financial arrangements) to the Health Care division of Sub-Board to improve campus health care. Student Association (SA) President Frank Jackalone explained that the athletic budget problem arose because a shift in priorities toward increased spending for sports, and women’s intercollegiate intramural, club, and recreational sports. This factor, coupled with a roughly constant level of total athletic funding, forced severe cuts in men’s intercollegiate sports, Mr. Jackalone said. The four alternative plans, he added, represented four different philosophies about the best way to solve the problem. The Assembly has begun studying the athletic budget nearly two months in advance of the regular budgeting process because the Athletic Department needed to know how much funding it would receive so it could begin scheduling events. Waiting for Godot The Assembly debated a motion by Jon Burgess to postpone consideration of the athletic budget until the results of the SA priorities survey were ready. Speaker’s Bureau Chairman, Stan Morrow, while agreeing a delay was “plausible,” argued the Assembly must act quickly because “it’s imperative that the Athletic Department know where it stands.” budget Community Action Corps (CAC) director Dave Chavis said the surveys represented student opinion and should be before presented budgets were any approved. SARB member Mark Giasante countered: “No matter what happens, we are the ones who are going to make the decisions.” Mr. Burgess’ motion failed 18-24-1. Treasurer Sal Napoli moved that Proposal A, a budget that would cut men’s intercollegiate cross country, fencing, swimming, golf, tennis, and track (saving $11,251.12 over this year’s budget) in return for more consistent support of major sports. SARB Chairperson Dennis Delia moved the SARB-proposed budget by substitution. Save sports Mr. Delia explained the SARB budget would cut from general administration, promotion, and publicity in order to retain all men’s intercollegiate sports. Mr. Chavis asked why intercollegiate athletics had to be funded at a high level, and questioned the use of mandatory student fees “to pay for your (the athletes’! prestige.” Jim Young, leader of the SFA, said varsity intercollegiate teams have the same rights as all other clubs. “They exist . . . that’s all you need to know.” Charles Ciotta, another SFA organizer, said the teams serve a valuable educational function for physical education majors and people who want to make careers out of scholastic coaching. “We’re not against declared. Marty Brooks you,” he responded: “There’s nothing wrong with funding athletics, but when it costs $200,000 Ihave serious reservations.” Richard Sokolow, another Assembly member, reiterated Mr. Brooks’ point and suggested that athletic events, like UUAB other activities many movies and subsidized by the mandatory student fee, charge admission. Selling point Former Executive Vice President Dave Saleh addressed the Assembly with an endorsement of the SARB budget. “Athletics is the selling point of the mandatory fee all $67 of it.” Mr. Saleh said he had spoken to state legislators and that a well-balanced ahtletic found program funded by the mandatory fee is all that would keep the legislature from mandatory banning the fee. His exhortation was to no effect, however, as the Assembly rejected the SARB budget, 15-24-1. The SFA’s proposed budget did not include lines for intramurals, club, and recreational sports. The total budget for men's and women’s intercollegiate athletics came to $199,400. When the $67,000 budgeted for intramurals, club, and recreational sports was added, the total rose to $266,400, far more than any other proposed budget and a $ 10,000 increase over last year in the intercollegiate - allocation. Mr. Young showed where SFA would accept cuts. Four thousand dollars could be cut from the publicity budget, $2500 saved by not restoring the crew team (which SFA’s budget does), and $4250 saved by cutting the funds for awards and a banquet in half. Food fight The line for awards and a banquet drew heavy criticism, prompting the following exchange after a member of New York Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) said he had worked for PIRG for four years and did not expect a banquet. Mr. Young: “Do you feel you deserve a banquet?” PIRG Member: “No.” Mr. Young; “Well, the philosophy of our organization is that we should [have a banquet) The Assembly, after a few more questions and comments, let the SFA budget drop without acting on it.

The Nader staff noted that the National Air Pollution Control Administration issued a report in February of 1969, where they found in the Buffalo air twice die minimum level of suspended particulates that causes increased respiratory diseases and death in person’s over 50. Research in Buffalo has established a link between the high “particulate levels” of and “increased pollution mortality,” Mr. Nader explains in the book’s introduction. In South Buffalo, where a large Allied Chemical plant and Republic Steel plant are located, and in Lackawanna, where one of the largest Bethlehem Steel plants is located, the National Air Pollution Control Administration found suspended particulates numbering over 200 micrograms per cubic meter of air. Suspended particulates have been linked to cirrhosis of the liver, respiratory diseases, heart diseases and various forms of cancer, according to a series of reports on air pollution in Buffalo by Dr. Winkelstein and others. According to Mr. Nader’s group, the city of Niagara Falls is not much better off. Looking beyond the roaring cataracs, the city is packed with factories from the giant chemical companies, including Hooker and Dupont. They contribute heavily to the pounds of sulfer dioxides, garbage” particulants and carbon monoxide that settle upon that city each year, Mr. Nader claims. Pro-pot Professionals rank high among all. adult occupational categories: 28 percent admitted having used marijuana, and 14 percent said they use it regularly. The survey also showed that two out of three adults who smoked the drug do so once a week or less. The survey was conducted in October 1974 by Opinion Research Corporation, Princeton, New Jersey. It asked a nationwide cross section of 2133 adults and 505 teenagers about their marijuana usage and their altitudes toward the drug laws. The new Heinlein! Franklin Wallick, a member of the United Auto Workers and Editor of the union’s weekly newsletter, UAW Washington Report, estimates that “one in twenty” of our nation’s 80 million workers will suffer some pccupational disease or illness this year as a result of occupationally caused pollution. In his book, The American Worker: An Endangered Species Mr. Wallick lists example after example of the frightening abuse that American workers face daily on the job. dust, noise, Intolerable particulates, dangerous chemicals, radiation, unsafe machines, heat stress and fumes assault the worker every minute, and after years of work, resulting in thousands of cases of asthma, emphysema, black lung, brown lung, cancer, beryllium and skin diseases. , Miners Mr. Wallick recalls the twenty by of years dilly-dallying American mining companies, their doctors, and their representatives in government, when the miners complained of breathing problems because of the crippling black lung disease. Finally, in 1969, The Coal Mine Health and Safety Act was passed, offering some protection to miners by setting air quality standards in the mines and providing compensation to those crippled by black lung. Yet, in 1972, the U.S. Public Health Industrial workers estimated that one Service Those who suffer the most are hundred and fifty thousand industrial workers, who work in American miners were suffering heavily polluted work-places with from black lung. a wide range of extremely Violations of the code by companies occurs dangerous chemicals. ■:* -s mining — — * Page four . - Free group The DAC is a private Washington group which serves a non-partisan drug use and misuse information source. “The distinguishing feature in our survey,” said DAC president Thomas Bryant, “is that it is the first national survey to ask the public’s opinion on a variety of changes in marijuana laws,” laws that are currently being debated in state legislatures and in Congress. In 1971, the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse estimated that 24 million Americans had tried marijuana and 8 million used it regularly. Three years later. Dr. Bryant reported that 29 million citizens have tried marijuana, with nearly half of them using it regularly. by Paid Krehbiel Dr. Winklestein, Jr., of the University of Berkeley, conducted studies in the Buffalo area in the 1960’s, and found that the death rate for white males between the ages of 50 and 69 was twice as high in areas where the particulate levels exceeded 135 micrograms per cubic meter of air, than in areas where it was less than 80. Eightenn percent of Americans age 18 and over have tried marijuana, and eight percent of them use it regularly, according to a recent Drug Abuse Council (DAC) report. V The survey also showed that 14 percent of teenagers ages 12 to 17 have tried marijuana while five percent are regular users. Thirty-nine percent of the adults surveyed favor the elimination of criminal penalties for the sale, possession or private use of marijuana; forty percent believe in more stringent laws and 13 percent favor retaining the present regulations. Eighty-two percent of those surveyed who have used marijuana favor reducing the penalties, as compared with 30 percent of those who have not used it. - the second of a three-part series on air pollution and health.

Prior to fielding questions from the audience, Dr. Ketter discussed the progress of construction on the Amherst Campus. The University will need at least a $10 million increase over the- present $77 million Operating Budget to accommodate planned expansion, according to Dr. Ketter, He explained that the $6.6 million requested increase was needed to remain “constant" and said the $3.9 million increase Governor Hugh Carey proposed for next fall would be “exceedingly difficult” to work intramural program for getting students involved in recreational activities. Athletic programs at this University have had an uphill struggle since state funding was cut in 1971, and Dr. Ketter acknowledged the difficulty of securing outside funding. Therefore, he said, funding must 'iggest since 70 Protest at U. of Michigan by Brett Kline Spectrum Staff Writer Hundreds of students and professors rallied on behalf of the Graduate Employees Organization (GEO) at the University of Michigan last week. The demonstration the largest at the Ann Arbor Campus since 1970 supported various economic demands, including a three percent raise retroactive to January, a seven percent raise for 1975-76 and a $350 fee in lieu of tuition. University officials have admitted that graduate students are not wrong in demanding higher salaries, but claim they are having financial troubles and would have difficulty coming up with the needed extra funds. In response to the protests, they have proposed a 5.6 percent pay increase beginning September 1975. demanded The also protestors non-discrimination on the basis of age, race, creed, color, religion, sex. national origin or sexual preference in University hiring and firing practices. University officials have agreed to take a survey of the current ratios of women, blacks, Chicanos, Asians and native Americans in each department and school. By September 1975, an attempt will have begun to raise the percentage of graduate assistants in these catagories to the corresponding percentages in the entire graduate student population. - with. - If additional funds are not forthcoming, the University must release 60-160 employees, including eight positions in the School of Nursing and ten from Student Services. In addition, Mr. Carey’s budget mandates that the University decrease its rate of library acquisitions by 20,000 volumes. All buildings and facilities on Amherst Campus will be completed by 1980-81, Dr. Kctter reported. (Buildings that will accommodate the Schools of Education and Philosophy, Library Science, Industrial Engineering and Physics will b”fe ;ready in the fall.) The Main Street Campus will eventually be used solely for the health sciences, he said. It will house over 3,300 students and be renovated once all undergraduate studies move to Amherst. —Santo* Dr. Robert Ketter the come from compulsory student fees. He also expressed support for a recent bill introduced by State Assemblyman James McFarland that would allo*y the state to.pick up intramural costs. One of the few questions not related to athletics concerned the University’s vacation scheduling policy and a recent move to have spring recess coincide with the Jewish holidays. Dr. Ketter explained that the schedule could be changed only if the holidays fall within a week of vacation, and at least four weeks before the end of the term. He added that the President must receive permission from the Board of Trustees in Albany one year before the Jock talk Members of the SFA then asked Dr. Ketter what physical education facilities will be provided at Amherst.

Some teachers were holding classes outside of school, and both teachers and students were reluctant to cross the picket lines. Tire slashing of 40 official University vehicles, causing an estimated $4000 worth of damage, was also reported on the Ann Arbor campus, but GEO disavowed any responsibility for the occurence. “GEO condemns action destructive of property and reaffirms the principles of non-violence,” stated one protestor THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COMMITTEE AND THE I.E L I.

As of Wednesday, negotiations between university officials and GEO representatives have been made public. Reporters may now attend bargaining sessions, although no substantial progress has been reported. Undergraduate support for the strike has ranged from commitment to resentment of the strikers. Support among dormitory students has been high, and one dorm has donated a wing of its building to be used as strike headquarters. Some students have remained on the picket lines but not enough to warrant what would be termed “widespread student support.” 21 February 1975 The Spectrum Page five . . J i �Handicapped.

As undergraduate studies shift to the Amherst Campus, the Main St. Campus will be converted into a health sciences center. “As buildings are converted, all building code violations will be done away with in what we hope will be five years from now,” said Jim Rozanski, a technical specialist for Facilities Planning in charge of construction. Citing Tower Hall as an example of a “rehab,” Mr. Rozanski said that “as buildings become vacant, they will be renovated as quickly as possible.” He added, however, that obtaining money for the projects will be difficult. Building renovation codes are outlined in an architectural checklist entitled Making Facilities Accessible to the Physically Handicapped, which was compiled by members of the State University of New York Construction Fund in January 1974. New York State Building Construction codes are also followed. “When there is a difference between one of the two codes, we always take the more stringent," Mr. Rozanski said.

After an hour, Reservation President Robert Hoag convinced Ms. Kennedy to leave her home and file a deposition about the matter. She did, and was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment and attempted murder. Arraignment was held the next day in Brant Town Hall, where more than 50 of her supporters packed the court room. Although $25,000 bail was originally set, it was later reduced to $3,500 cash bond. Ms. Kennedy was held for six days before bail was raised and released pending a grand jury policemen. The Niagara Mohawk supervisors had entered the reservation to shut off the electricity of 12 traditionalist families, including Marlene’s, because the families had withheld payment of their bills for political reasons over the past year and a half. The incident occurred after service had been terminated.

Despite the importance of proving her innocent, Ms. Kennedy’s defense centers around Indian sovereignty. She is, according to her legal argument, a Because her two requests that they identify themselves were ignored, Ms. Kennedy fired three warning shots. The men responded by firing upon her traditionalist Indian who does believe in the elected government and is not bound by American law. This argument denies both the state jurisdiction over her, and the state police the authority to arrest trailer house.

Although women had previously appointed the chieftains, they were automatically disenfranchised because they did not as yet have the right to vote under the American Constitution. This system was later extended to other reservations throughout the country, including the Pine Ridge Reservation in Wounded Knee, South Dakota. Although this was originally a temporary arrangement, American officials refused to accept the Senecas’ attempt to reconstitute their traditional government. The government’s justification was that the Indians’ effort was only verbal, while they had a written agreement. Despite the fact that Native American society is traditionally an oral one, the Indians had effectively lost control of their own affairs. Critical response President Hoag is presently the leader of this elected Seneca Nation government, which ! ! ! traditionalists claim to be facto government a de operating illegally. Mr. Hoag responded unfavorably to the Kennedy incident, stating, “We can’t allow something like this to go on, because utility companies won’t want to come on the reservation to service other Senecas who don’t happen to believe as the traditionalists do.” The Seneca President issued an exclusion order Jan. 11 against the traditionalists’ legal advisors, Meredith Quinn and Kenneth Van Aemam, and suggested that a move to bar all the dissidents “is . . . being contemplated.” As for sovereignty, Mr. Hoag said, “We live in the United States and in New York State. We want the services of both, and both have an obligation to perform some services on the reservation.” The traditionalists, as announced in their Feb. 5 press conference, are filing suit against Mr. Hoag in Buffalo Federal Court. Their lawsuit demands that the exclusion order be overturned because it violates their rights to freedom of association and due process of law.

Eleven medical ‘doctors aWo provided medical evidence that prolonged use of the hoe results in permanent back injury in the form of ruptured spinal discs, tom back ligaments and arthritis. Tony Cervantes, a farmworker who testified before the Court, said that California growers get away with making workers use the instrument because most of the farmworkers Who do the thinning and harvesting were braceros, people brought up from Mexico to work for a specified time. If the braceros complained about stooping down, Mr. Cervantes said, the growers would simply send them back to Mexico. Mr. Cervantes said the tool is used throughout California, with the exception of parts of the San Joaquin Valley. The San Joaquin is a United Farm Worker (UFW) stronghold, and the union has repeatedly fought with growers over the issue of the hoe. Ceaser Chavez, director of the United Farm Workers (UFW) who himself is disabled with a lower back problem due to years of bending over, is vehement about “el corito.” “The short hoe,” he says, “is probably the most crucifying work of all... degrading, the most vicious form of human exploitation of the human body. “After ten years of constantly bending over,” Mr. Chavez said, “a farmworker’s career as a healthy person is through.” The only way many older farmworkers ever make it through a day of stoop labor, Chavez says, is to take amphetamines, which only compound the body’s It’s called “el cortito? by SALINAS, Calif. (LNS) the people who use it, and the growers justify its use by saying, “It doesn’t hurt the Mexicans, they’re built close to the ground anyway.” It’s the short handled hoe, an instrument with a twelve inch handle that forces the worker who uses it to bend down at the waist eight, ten, or twelve hours a/day. Thousands of farmworkers have become permanently disabled after years of working with the instrument, but growers continue to justify its use, saying that it’s “more efficient” than a long handled instrument which permits workers to stand straight up. For years, the California State Industrial Safety Board, whose members were political appointees of then-Governor Ronald Reagan, ruled that the short handled hoe could not be classified as “unsafe within the meaning of state regulations,” i.e., the tool s hazards weren’t the result of a manufacturing defect or improper maintenance. On January 13, however, the California Supreme Court ruled unanimously that “any hand tool which causes injury, immediately or cumulative, when used in the manner in which it was intended to be used, may constitute an ‘unsafe handtool’ within the meaning of the regulation.” Mo Jordain, a lawyer for the California Rural Legal Assistance who brought the legal action against the state, hailed the decision as a victory and said it may result in “putting the tool out of business in California.” The Supreme Court heard testimony from several - * problems. loam aroun Europe all summer for$18Q A Stud« travel through Buy om business All we get there, be Holland, Italy Switzerland. 100,000 and social att and comfortab And you Second Class. if you want to CUttUCE SUE ’ You cai is valid on mar foils.

But many may be running for no reason because of confusion within the Selective Service System. Although thousands of cases against draft evaders have actually been dropped or were never pursued by the Justice Department, the Department has never made any attempt to notify those evaders affected. Federal law states that local draft boards must give specific reasons for denying anyone conscientious objector (CO) status. According to Robert Musil, a former Army captain who refused to serve in Vietnam and now heads the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors, out of 100,000 applicants for CO status in 1970 alone, only 19,000 were granted. No one knows what happened to the other 81,000 requests, but many young men fled the country because they wrongly feared they were wanted by the government. If they did not receive any reasons for their rejection, and most “did not,” Mr. Musil claims, “it was not they who violated the law, but Selective Service.” Another category of Selective Service had to do with arbitrary refqsa] of claims for deferments and CO status in the face of overwhelming evidence in support of such claims. For example, various claims for medical deferments may have been denied even though they were based on a physician’s signed statement. The law clearly states that Selective Service must provide evidence of its own to support its decisions. Violations ‘Lack something’ A majority of errors were committed by the local draft boards, which are commonly staffed by part-time employees /T\BECK/ who were not fully acquainted with the law. One draft counselor reported that he had been told he would not receive CO status because he “lacked that certain According to him, the reason for all the confusion in Selective Service is that the system was “carefully designed to function badly.” During the late 1960’s, General John Hershey designed and ran the system like it was his “own little fiefdom,” the draft counselor said, claiming it was Hershey who permitted and encouraged the arbitrary character of the local boards by deciding not to interfere with them. “Nothing could have been better suited to produce errors,” he asserted. Fear prosecution The fugitive draft evader should have been able to determine his present status by contacting the Justice Department. However, many evaders feared that if they called the U.S. Attorney’s office to find out the status of their cases, the government would rechcck its files and take further steps towards prosecution. Consequently, the Rev. Barry Lynn of the United Church of Christ threatened to sue the Justice Department under the Freedom of Information Act, to force the Department to release a list of those evaders still being sought. On October 24. 1974, the Department finally acquiesced and released a list with a warning that it was neither complete nor final. After the October release, demands increased for a final list of all pending cases. After Senator Edward Kennedy’s subcommittee on Administrative Practices and Procedures held headings, on the issue. Senator Kennedy ordered the Justice Department to produce such a list. On January 24, 1975, a full four days after the Kennedy deadline, the list was released.

As Mr. Musil pointed out, other bad discharges can be explained to employers as the result of a single incident or harrassment. But the clemency discharge, stamping its holder a deserter and disloyal, will outrage many employers. There is also no chance for the holder of the clemency discharge to appeal to any military review board to upgrade his status. The holder of the UD, however, has the option of appealing for a classification change, although upgrading is strictly regulated. There are other options for the deserter rather than subjecting himself to the Ford program. For years many Army AWOL’s and deserters have been surfacing at a number of bases where they would simply speak to an officer and be given an undesirable discharge, with no questions asked. It is more difficult to do in the other branches of the armed service, however.

Security Director Pat Glennon claims that gay students have been congregating in Harriman and Crosby Halls for "illegal and immoral sexual activity." This phrase has a fairly specific connotation, implying a continuous pattern of unethical and unlawful behavior. Yet Mr. Glennon conceded, in an interview last Monday, that the undercover patrols began after one officer was allegedly propositioned in the Harriman bathroom. Although he and assistant Lee Griffin have alluded to other complaints by members of the University staff, neither could cite exactly what they were, suggesting that this program of harassing students is less a reaction to a real problem than a reflection of a discriminatory point of view. . ■ ■ “Rock turns kids to fags" According to Alex Haig Look out goy The Century’s a ploy Concert starts an hour late Can’t find your date Sound comes from orange Suberbian Buffalo Blues Dylan’s in retirement Counting his residuals I’m on the pavement Thinking where the music went crates The man on the radio Good voice no brain says he likes what he’s playing Wants to be another Shane Look out snot Top 40’s a plot Turn the dial Hear the singing crocodile Don’t listen to the Shaving Cream You’ll be puking up bile Elton’s stacking diamonds In a big pile Coming out with “Ragdoll” In a little while They haven’t sold out the gate Don’t touch jail bait Top act makes you wait Don’t know why you saw them live When the album was so great Eat that, cat this a new kick Singing ’bout chicken shit Nutrition you get out of it Real soon, next June No tours, no bucks One big hockey puck Tells you that the culture sucks Look out mole Your finger’s up your hole Get smarter, funny Rock ’n Roll nitwits Living off your money Denver’s on Elvis sings with pursed lips Money belt shakes his hips Watkin’s Glenn’s a big gyp Even drugs are counterfeit The beer’s flat in the keg Heckler breaks Zappa’s leg Mr. Glenhon feels the charges of gay harassment are unfounded, since Security officers have been questioning all men "who do not look like students."

Friday, 21 February 1975 . , of losers To the Editor I am sick and tired of the multitude of self-centered New Yorkers on this campus putting down the “Queen City,” and her sports teams. I am not what you would call an avid follower of sports, but I know more than enough to rightfully call New York the “City of Losers.” The Knicks, with “stars” like John Gianelli and Hawthorne Wingo, are definately a second division team and probably will fight the “tough" 76’ers for the last playoff berth in the NBA east. When was the last time the Rangers won the Stanley Cup? Was it forty or forty-five years ago? When will the Islanders ever make the playoffs? Maybe this year with the new playoff system designed to allow weaker teams to compete. When willthe Giants or the Jets have a winning season? For the Giants it doesn’t look like if for years to come (they’re still trying to win three games in one season). The 'Mcts have proved that their miracle championship in 1969 was just that; a v ankees, after nine seasons, finally won mira'-' ,uey lost. If you classify the ABA as a more u. major sports league, then you can save some face with the Nets. The Braves, Sabres, and Bills all will make the playoffs and all have realistic hopes of winning their respective league championships. Which is more than I can say for those pitiful New York teams.

The situation kills me, the Administration is coming down' repressively on sex (ok, the fear apparent behind it!). Granted they don’t like what is going on. I mean queers are very disturbing, maybe even threatening. But rather than trying to deal with it on a human level, they close their eyes and come down with a sledge hammer. The effect is to dehumanize and objectify gays. The excuse is, there is a “law” oft the books stating that homosexual sex is “illegal!” A law that defines permissible sex, of where you may stick it and to whom you may stick it to! Okay, it’s a bad, repressive and ludicrous law, but for the Administration to use these laws points out the brutality of how they deal with people. They call out their goon squads to stop the menace of cocksucking! Elliott Klein ��Cowboys and jailbirds Phil Martino, McCoy Tyner, Philly giants here tomorrow Tomorrow night UUAB presents a jazz concert par excellence for novice and enthusiast alike: two Philly-bred giants, Pat Martino and the McCoy Tuner Quartet. Pat Martino (nee Azzara) is generally recognized as one of the best living guitarists. Although he's usually labeled as a jazz musician, his style includes numerous other influences: classical. Eastern and blues, among others. Pat, who first began as a rhythm and blues sideman for the likes of Lloyd Price and Willis Jackson, is well known for his lightning fast riffs and unconventional progressions and patterns. His live performances are guaranteed to leave you breathless. The name McCoy Tyner is almost legendary in jazz circles by this time. McCoy, who also started at age fifteen, began by leading his own seven piece combo in local Philly clubs. Two years later, he met the man with whom he was destined to work for many more years; John Coltrane. Tyner was a member of Coltrane's quintet almost from its inception, and his achievements as that band's pianist are well known. He stuck with the quintet for six years, and during that time became a major force in improvisational piano. He's been on his own since 1965, and has continued to function as one of the most important influences in the jazz world. Both Pat and McCoy have won numerous awards and titles, but that's only natural for musicians of their superlative stature. The folks who brought you Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett have come up with another sure fire combination. There are two shows, (one at 8 p.m. and one at 11 p.m.), so you're doubly at fault if you don't end up in the Fillmore Room tomorrow night.

Over the rainbow Alice has no real career she dreams of and David's abandonment of his ranch and a stable way of life for someone else's hopeless dream is a cheat. It's even more of a cheat because it misses a chance to comment on the cheat of those old movies. It seems about as sensible and real as the Scarecrow's decision to go with Dorothy to find the Wizard and her way back to Kansas.

Alice is chasing her long-lost career as a singer; she and Tommy end up for a time in Tuscon, Arizona where she meets rancher David (Kris Kristofferson) who is eventually willing to marry her and go along with her on her hair-brain scheme to be a singer. David's decision to give up his ranch and follow Alice is something like what happened when those sharp career women in the old movies gave up their jobs to settle down with the men they loved, except that the men they loved usually had tangible careers and offered economic Dorothy and Toto — I mean.

We are given very few glimpses of Bruce's occasional brilliance; what we do see is the director's own morbidity reflected in a male version of Diana Ross' ultra-melodramatic - - "brain-of-junkie-turns-to-jello-before-your-very-eyes" routine from Lady Sings the Blues. The viewer becomes the voyeur, and the performer is seen as helplesi victim of our sadism. Lenny Bruce's real-life relationship to his public most often worked the other way. Hot lips Most of the performances are excellent, even if unreal. Valerie Perrine, as Bruce's wife Honey "Hot" Harlowe, is the perfect personification of the self-consciously Jewish comedian's "shiksa goddess," his favorite fantasy come true as "the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life." As a stripper and, after months of Lenny's careful tutelage, as junkie. Honey virtually begged to be used by everyone who came near her. Fosse's opening shot shows his attitude toward her immediately: the screen is filled Prodigal Sun from page 11 all updated and taken seriously. It doesn't always work, but it's clever. Ellen Burstyn's performance is best when she's detached from the movie and from her own qoncern with its message; that is, when she's simply being Ellen Burstyn lost in a scene. This happens when she sings, when she's threatened by a monster-lover named Ben (a surprising and good performance by Harvey Keitel) and when she pals around with Alfred Lutter who plays her son. Tommy. The witty, sharp and often gentle banter between Tommy and Alice provides some of the movie's best moments. Lutter is shockingly sophisticated as Tommy and his brilliant reading of writer Robert Getchell's dialogue is just what the film needs to give it an intelligent, comic edge. When Tommy attacks David's taste in music, it's as if Lutter were attacking Kristofferson as a singer and as an actor. Dorothy's sense of alienation — Why? Kristofferson, incidently, deserves the attack even more than David does. You can't believe him when he's angry or even when he's gentle. Why is he there? Tommy's comments are brutally true. His "This town is shit!" remark cuts through the garbage of the town as clearly as Toto's pulling the curtain and revealing the Wizard of Oz's sham, cut through the insincerity of the Emerald City. Even better than Tommy's and Alice's cynical edge is the film's portrayal of the object of that cynicism: The Midwest. Director Martin Scorsese has developed a frightening sense of the empty, dusty, metaphorical Midwest being filled with media banalities. Throw-away Midwest becomes a huge breadbasket make that, wastebasket filled with the worst of American mass cult. Elton John's song "Daniel" is a part of this as is Johnny Carson contemptuous, playing down to his audience. He's Nebraska's success-story so stripped of his wit by TV that he's reduced to funny reflections and gestures; it doesn't matter any more just what he's saying. In this film, we hear "Daniel" and see Carson on a TV screen with the volume lowered so only the inflections and gestures poke through. This garbage set against Alice's and Tommy's intelligence makes its point around the edges of the picture. Scorsese's depiction of this terrifyingly banal culture is social criticism The — — — its best. I don't know whether he had more fun with this theme than he did with the Wizard of Oz parody, but it has more of a point and is, in general, more masterfully executed. He shows what bitterness this environment evokes in intelligent characters and the vinegar humor with which they respond. at A question He makes wonder that you — if intelligent people become like Alice and Tommy what about the others? Vera, a dumb girl who works with Alice in Arizona, is one answer. She's so unaware of her environment so stoned by the rumble of motorcycles and the banalities of trash books that in the middle of a big argument two other characters are having, she can comment in a dreamy voice, "It feels like fall today." Fall indeed. A friend of Tommy's gives another, — — — similar answer. "Mr. Emmet, the science teacher," she tells him, "wears a hair net. Scary. Really scary I" The Emmets on the ant hill of the Midwest are scary, and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore shows them to us as well as anything else I've seen. It's the "here" in the title that is most important. Plug Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore is playing at the Holiday 3 Theatre. — a close up of her lips long before we are introduced to the rest of her. The couple's crazy relationship bordered on an obsession even more incomprehensible than Bruce's dealings with lawyers or audiences, but Fosse has conducted only the barest of investigations. She was all body to Lenny, and within Lenny's interview format she is all mouth; but Perrine works valiantly at transcending the object-image, very nearly succeeding in clarifying an attraction which neither the director nor the writer bothers to explain. by Only the money talks Stanley Beck as Artie Silver, Lenny's agent, and Jan Miner as his mother were involved in similarly intense love-hate relationships with the comic, neither of which is explored even as perfunctorily as Honey’s. Artie's closing remark that his client's "I really loved the guy" death was certainly tragic but wasn't it wonderful anyway that he could make so much money off the memories, gives more insight into his character than anything else in the film. But what is really frightening about this is the glimpse it gives us into Bob Fosse himself. Apparently he felt a moral responsibility to his subject (after shirking all other related responsibilities) to be honest and cynical too. He left Lenny Bruce's demonically sadistic practical jokes out of his "biography," just as he left out his real satiric genius but at least he lets us in on his own motives, which, of course, makes everything all right. Lenny is being shown at the Amherst and Como — — The Destructors' Murder mayhem - Robert Parrish's The Destructors is a tiredly plotted tale of murder and mayhem. The difference here is that the murders have a muted quality. I remember once watching another Parrish film. In The French Style (adapted from two Irwin Shaw short stories, starring Jean Seberg) and wondering when the pace would pick up and something dramatic would occur. But then I began to notice small details of atmosphere and realized that this was Parrish's main objective — to capture atmosphere. The arbitrary camera set-ups at the outset of The Destructors don't matter what does matter is the mood. Although set in Marseilles (the original title was The Marseilles Contract) the film seems to take place in a vague, mysterious environment of perpetual sunset. The characters are displaced persons, and when one of them (Anthony Quinn) mentions a real place (New Jersey) it's a jolt to our sense of reality. The film was photographed by Douglas Slocombe (who has saved more unsuccessful pictures such as The Great Gatsby).

Friday, 21 February 1975 The Spectrum Page thirteen . . �Our Weekly Reader Harpo Speaks! by Harpo Marx with Rowland Barber (Freeway) The popularity of the Marx Brothers seems to have crested at last, coincident with Groucho's reception of a special Oscar last year. "How much higher could it go?" is the obvious riposte, still, the fact that the recent wave of books by or about the Marxes has revealed all of the available information about them is something of a milestone. Also Animal Creackers was finally cleared from its legal quagmire, and the closes thing to a major gap in the evaluation of the gleeful anarchists of film was filled with its general release. Like the newer Marx books, many c f the older ones were prompted by the occupancy of the brothers in an unusually bright spotlight.

(The remainder of Groucho and Me devoutly maintains the status quo.) It was at roughly the same time (1960) that Harpo Speaks was originally published; like Groucho GARY SNYDER Turtle Island and Me, it was a collector's item until its present paperback republication. Anyone remotely interested in the Marxes should pounce on the nearest copy because the silent Marx's tale is an utter delight. We're all more familiar than most would like to be with the beast known as the Autobiography. Therein the renowned subject rattles off hordes of unforgettable incidents, unforgettable characters and celebrities with such profusion that they have all barely entered the reader's mind before they exit again. In addition, the studied tone of condescension, and the posture that Vour Obedient Servant is no more worthy of celebrity than the corner grocer invariably smacks of patent insincerity. In the case of Harpo Marx, I am forced to conclude that all of the complimentary platitudes we hear leveled at public figures are true. It may not be kosher for a reviewer to play his instincts and impulses to the degree I have here, but the lack of calculation that is one of the book's most prominent features made me want to approach it in a similar Hill KHl iH liUlll -—^ zmltst' MMirw ■fUKurr spirit.

Barber is the greatest literary Library •Funiirr Sin Fram “FUHUT!" —TlteNew — fake since Clifford Irving. Harpo speaks as a truly modest man. He is disparaging of his own talent, effusive in praise of praiseworthy rivals. ("I would watch a Chaplin picture five or six times over. What an artist!") His stance during his fame of the 1920's and 1930's was that of professional listener; through him, we hear George S. Kaufman, George Bernard Shaw, Dorothy Parker and anyone else he happened to be listening to. To be sure, Harpo's own experiences are far from neglected, with justification, but the book pivots ffD leant i' around him, instead of centering on him. Almost as major a character as the author is Alexander Woolcott, the Falstaffian critic and author who was the model for Kaufman and Hart's Sheridan Whiteside, The Man Who Came To Dinner.

The earliest Marx literature was prompted by the success of A Night At The Opera and A Day At The Races, and includes a reportedly exhaustive effort by one Kyle Crichton which would not be harder to find if it was secreted in Harpo's coat (note: after two paragraphs, this is the first specific mention of the purported subject of this article. But stay with us, sports fans.) A second wave came on the heels of Groucho's legendary You Bet YourLife series; among them was Groucho's own autobiography, Groucho and Me, "like a blimp at a mooring mast." (And the description of the kind of croquet Woolcott and his cronies played can only be classified as a revelation.) When /'// Say She Is opened in New York, Woolcott said of Harpo: "There should be dancing in the streets when a great clown comes to town, and this man is a great clown." He is also great at revealing the fascinating events of his rich life in a most refreshing way, and Harpo Speaks should provoke some spontaneous festival in its own right. —Bill Maraschiello Sickle weekend Drug addiction, neurotic ambition, and blood will be the featured subjects in the Conference Theatre this weekend the UUAB Fine Arts Film Committee presents Born to Win, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravits, and Theatre of Blood.

A NEW DIRECTIONS PAPERBOOK. $1.95 Turtle Island by Gary Snyder (New Directions, paper) Turtle Island is Gary Snyder's ninth book and perhaps his finest portrait of man and his environment. One experiences a sense of the rhythm of the existence which the poet leads, as well as the tempo of nature the beat of life. Much of the beat is mechanical; man in the seventies becomes a robot in his dealings with the earth. His poetry is replete with contrast, the constant tension between — man and nature, and between man and man. In the essay, "The Wilderness," he says, "I wish to be a spokesman for a realm that is not usually represented either in intellectual chambers or in the chambers of government." Further on he states, ", . the voice that speaks to me as a poet what Westerners have called the Muse, is the voice of nature herself whom the ancient poets called the great goddess, the Magna Mater." . This is the essence of his poetry. It speaks to each reader in lyrical and nobility of Turtle Island (the name ancient rusticity, of the beauty inhabitants nf this continent gave to the land). Too often, however, man is deaf. His commodity-consciousness has made him play a deadly game. In "Mother Earth: Her Whales,” Snyder tells us as much. The whales turn and glisten, plunge and sound and rise again Hanging over the subtly darkening deeps Flowing like breathing planets in the sparkling whorls of living Ugh t And Japan quibbles for words on what kind of whales they can kill? Snyder's poetry continually presents the image of man too far removed from primitive earth. Man does not comprehend his surroundings. He refuses to believe in nature's "authentic Intelligence." "There is more information of a higher order of sophistication and complexity stored in a few square yards of forest than there is in all the libraries of mankind," Snyder says in "The Wilderness." Turtle Island offers a realistic portrait of the self-destructive conflict between man and environment. In "Rain In Alleghany" he tells us, Have some beer and rain And in the poem "It Pleases,' Far above the dome of the capitol It's true! A large bird soars The images are antithetic the reality behind them is the source of — man's anxieties His disregard for the authentic intelligence (“biomass") of Nature results in a destructive chain which will ultimately come back upon him. Man stripmines to become self-sufficient fuelishly, but fails to comprehend the catastrophic future he assures himself with such mole-like myopia. Gary Snyder is not a prophet of doom, however. He presents options and suggests the possibility not only of coexistence with the biosphere, but of a true understanding and regeneration of the symbiotic affiliation primitive man had with Turtle Island. -William E.

Perhaps it is because it is so intrinsic to one's being that it cannot be neatly isolated, categorized or defined. Yet, the artistic sensibility frequently manages to grasp this spirit effectively and with simple means. By the use of one gesture, a twitch of a muscle, or a change in color or light the complex emotions and tensions inherent within the human spirit are generated to the viewer. A painter must work from scrap, building images up from the basic elements and paint material itself and infusing them with part of his human spirit, lest they be just lifeless shapes. For the photographer, the images already exist waiting to be discovered, isolated and presented to the viewer to convey what ideas and spirit they hold. It is his discerning vision and imagination which chooses the most effective moment within the whole with which to express the apex of existence at that time, allowing it to live again. Every human Not human only are specific moments of activity, thought and emotion caught by the eye of photo journalist Mickey Oster reicher, but a humanity pervades throughout the whole exhibit. This exhibit, simply titled "People," which is showing through February 28 in Hayes Hall Lobby, presents the viewer with an assortment of hu man moods and emotions from anticipation to surprise, excitement to concen tration, joy to depression with which to identify and relate to. His people are at once individuals and all of humanity. Osterreicher's photographs are dynamic due to their clarity and forceful design, which focuses in on the human element and its rela tions to others, to its envi ronment, to a specific situa- tion, or to itself. Through their composition, where one figure is in relation to another within the pictorial plane and from what viewpoint the scene is taken, Osterreicher emphasizes the emotional effects of the specific images. Urgency permeates a photograph of a team of firemen trying to save an old man's life not only through the expressions, but through the circular formation the figures create and the way the scene is cropped to —continued on page 16— —Photos by Mickey Osterrelcher/Courler-Express Prodigal Sun Friday, 21 February 1975 The Spectrum Page fifteen . . �■*> Cooney, Stringband in town Michael Cooney, protean standardbearer of the tradition of bringing folk music into the hands of the people, will be appearing with the Canadian country-folk group Stringband in the UUAB Coffeehouse tonight in the Fillmore Room and tomorrow in the Rathskeller, both at 9 p.m. In addition, Cooney will be conducting a free folk music workshop, through Life Workshops, in Norton Union's Room 232 tomorrow afternoon beginning at 1 p.m. (University community members can register for the Room 223 workshop at the Life Workshops Norton.) Calling Michael Cooney "a one-man folk festival" is off the mark. He draws his repertoire from a broad variety of musical traditions blues, American and British traditional folk, music from still other countries, even soda pop commercials. He plays a gang of instruments (settling, at the moment, on 6- and 12-string guitar, banjo, not too wide — concertina, harmonica and kazoo). "One-man folk festival" applies in another way. Cooney is firmly committed to the idea of music as something people can do themselves. The folk festival, at best, is a gathering where everyone both listens and participates in the music. Michael's song-swapping column in Sing Out! magazine, his long-standing connection with the Mariposa Folk Festival, even his willingness to do a workshop when he could easily have done his two nights and gone, only give some indication of how much this means to him. Clyde Tinsdale, in the notes to Cooney's Folk-Legacy album, says "Wherever people are singing, Michael Cooney is there, singing not for himself, but to share in the music." How do people like Michael Cooney? Well, listen to the clamorous voices of those who saw him at the Mini-Folk Festival last November and yelled "Bring that man back again!" Next question. .. . Broudy, Lou and Sally Killen: country-western to rock n' roll among some of the others he sang. Saul's choice of songs reflected his own experiences. He accompanied himself on guitar for his first selection, a traveling song by Tom Paxton entitled, "I Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound." He also explained the history behind some of his tunes. "The Midnight Special," for instance, is a prison-train song. Prisoners who sang this song believed that if the train's headlight shined upon their faces, they would soon be free. Saul's pleasant personality certainly enhanced his show. He was quite flexible when someone shouted out, "I've Been Working On The Railroad" he stopped everything to sing it with us. He welcomed audience participation, spending quite a bit of time teaching some of his harmonica techniques, such as blues harp, which involves the bending of notes, and straight harp for playing melody. The thoroughly enjoyable set ended with Bob Dylan's "You Ain't Going Nowhere." - Lou and Sally Louis Killen is an Englishman, although born of Irish parents. He spent many years working with the Clancy Brothers, an Irish folk group, and actively participated on the original crew of the Clearwater (an ecology project worked on with Pete Seeger and other folksingers). Lou's wife Sally was born in America. Her voice is gentle yet firm. Their two harmonizing voices blended so beautifully that at times the audience was almost in a trance. They sang North Umbrian and Shetland tunes (from England), along with broadside ballads, sea shanties, drinking and hunting songs, songs of women and more. Lou and Sally are warm people and they transmitted their warmth to the audience through their performance. Both tell stories of interest to go along with their songs. Sally sang a song called "The Female Drummer," in which everyone thought the drummer was a male. She turned out to be a woman. Sally explained why in the "old days" it was not rare for a woman to dress up as a man and go to sea on a sailing ship to be with her lover. Louis played the English ‘Concertina (button accordion) for instrumentals and accompaniment. The other instrument used was a six-hole tin whistle sounding much like a fife. Louis used the tin whistle to accompany Sally on a pretty tune called, "The Coo Coo." They closed the evening with a beautiful anti-war seaman’s hymn. The audience obviously enjoyed themselves. Why not? The entire evening was decidedly excellent. Let us hope that Saul Brody and Lou and Sally Killen do come back for future performances. —Ellen Scherer You Can't Take It With You' The Niagara University Players' production of Kaufman and Hart's Pulitzer Prize winning comedy.

Among those who can give informed opinions on Stringband is Canadian Composer magazine: "Stringband is showing that it is possible to present friendly, warm and home-made music in a friendly, warm and home-made manner." The Toronto Star's Peter Goddard feels that they're "probably the least professional and most charming folk group around." And, mirable dictu, even crusty old Judith Crist thinks that they are "absolutely entertaining." The keynote of this weekend's Coffeehouse, I guess, is "home-made." Michael Cooney can give you a hand at doing it yourself, and Stringband can make you feel a bit more at ease about the whole thing. And the music they make is worth your listening.

Osterreicher UUAB Coffeehouse Saul Broudy, a superior harmonica player from Philly preceded Lou and Sally Killen's performance at last Friday evening's coffeehouse, with a large repertoire of songs ranging from country and western all the way to early rock and roll. Railroad work songs, cowboy songs and prison songs were and fiddler Ben Mink, plus assorted friends, neighbors and lovers (a dozen or so helped out on their independently produced album). What they do is about half traditional folk songs and fiddle tunes, half originals by either Bob or —continued from page 15— ... focus in on this compositional arrangement. The surrounding, environment is used in many of the photographs to lend a dynamic effect; the photograph of a football player sitting in isolated contemplation as the empty stadium seats unfold behind him being just one example. A similar use of isolation attains a humorous and paradoxical effect where a boater docks his boat oblivious to the limp body washed ashore. It is the fusion of these two contrasting human existences with the image of an empty, but calm, beach and lake that creates a notion of disbelief in the viewer. The absence of discernible background, with the lens totally focused on the human face creates a very moving portrait of the human condition in Osterreicher's photograph of a firefighter. Water drips down his face, an expression of exhaustion asserts itself along with a spirit of dedication due to the effective composition of the whole. Osterreicher reveals his strong sense of design in the photo of a coast guard diver attaching lines to a sea plane. Here, the ropes become linear diagonal elements that forcefully cut across the pictorial plane, not only forcing the viewer into it, but heightening the atmosphere of tension. The sweeping movement of the water alto creates a restlessness and anxiety. Osterreicher not only documents events, but does so with a sensitivity towards the overall spirit, employing design and compositional elements for expressive purposes. Force of despair This expressive use of background, lighting and viewpoint reaches its summit in three very moving and masterful works. Desolation descends upon the photograph of a man walking towards a seemingly abandoned amusement park, the wind flapping his coat. By taking the shot from the back a spirit of dejection and impersonality is transmitted to the viewer. He is also forced to experience the "uphill battle" of the man's tired body against the wind and thus, identify with his resignation. A man is staring out into the bright daylight as his dog silently sits staring at his back from the dimly lit hallway. A mood of sadness and silent grief permeates from these two images, one seeming to mimic the other. Contrasting light and dramatic viewpoint emit a tense quiet throughout, infesting every object within the house, especially the stairway, with an eerie silence. Wrinkled, tired, aged hands futilely grasping for puzzle pieces creates a forceful statement on life in one hauntingly lighted photograph. This work, with its concentration upon the diagonally thrusted limbs, the numerous scattered puzzle pieces and mute darkness sends a chill up the viewer's spine. For those hands are not hands of a specific individual, but of all of humanity. It is in these works that Osterreicher transcends the documentation and illustrations of photojournalism and touches upon the timeless, universal themes of art. Prodigal Sun �RECORDS Brian Protheroe Pinball (Chrysalis) Wouldn't ya know it? Here I finally act like a rock critic and finad a totally obscure new talent (at least, he's obscure to me) to dazzle my audience with, and what happens? Our latest "underground" station plays it like crazy. Well, I guess it just proves they have good taste. Maybe some of you haven't listened to WBUF yet though, so I'll tell you about the album anyway. Wait a minute. Maybe I'll do a socio-musical trip first (it'll tie in, I promise). It started with protest songs. Very serious. When the realism became too much to bear, psychedelia hit the scene and we dwelt in Strawberry Fields for awhile, groovin' and smilin'. But the home fires we had left burning went untended too long and blew up in our faces. We were left facing the apocalypse, and it became the theme, from Deep Purple to Diamond Dogs. (Simplistic, but you get the point.) Pinball, by Brian Protheroe, may well be the latest sign of the evolving musical times. Having figuratively survived the triumph and subsequent downfall of both good and evil, the rock world is left with what? Protheroe's answer is a sense of blase humor, punctuated with a slick, inventive production job, full of subtle puns and jokes, both musical and lyrical. In one sense, the album is a survey. One by one, Protheroe takes traditional song forms and rock cliches and thumbs his nose at them. "The Moon Over Malibu," for instance, is a take off on the sort of slow ballads the Mills Bros, did in the forties. A Hawaiian guitar strums slow mellow chords as a male chorus sings in a dreamy sort of barberuntil you realize that the shop quartet style. It's all very straight harmonies are just the slightest touch out of key as the chorus sings the word "harmonize." And the expression in the voice-over is just a little — too insincere. "Interview/Also In The Limelight" is a neat piece of satire. The lyrics are like bits and snatches of an ostensible interview of a rock star, and they become more and more ridiculous as the song progresses, until the meaning dissolves into complete absurdity. love to play like / love to He Because it's a degree of truth And play is a degree of yourself / think flying is me. / may be, — ... an excellent album.) But lyric-wise, this (and most Strawbs albums for that matter) would have to be considered corny. David Cousins, brainchild and main force behind the group, has written some very schlocky lyrics in his time but on this album, he is at . his worst: / — Lady Smile I'll see you in a little while Lemon Lady sweet and sour You have me in your lemon power Another bad point is a very poor track called “Where Do You Go (When You Need A Hole To Crawl In)." It is quite harmful to the overall sound of the album. It is The Strawbs' first attempt at “Boogie a-la-Cat Stevens ("Another Saturday — although the "bubblegum" sound cannot be denied, the move from the depression left by the previous track makes this song essential to the well-balanced of the album. As in every album, however, there are a couple of genuine flaws which cannot be overlooked. (Do not mistake these criticisms as any sort of disgust with The Strawbs on the whole, I think Ghosts is Night . . .") and it fails miserably. Despite the flaws, if you're a Strawbs' fan, you'll be delighted with Ghosts. If you're a Strawbs' novice, you'll quickly learn to overlook the basically Phil Everly Phil's Diner (Pye) Phil Everly has to be recognized as one of the pioneers of rock 'n roll. As one half of the Everly Brothers, he had dozens of hit records during the late fifties and up to the Beatles era. Many post-rock and roll musicians, including the Beatles, acknowledge the Everly Brothers as a major Influence Their sound was a mixture of courty and western and rock and roll. Songs like "Dream," "When Will I Be Loved," and the classic "Wake Up Little Susie," are considered rock standards Two years ago, fed up with their inability to get past the Las Vegas lounges, they decided to split up. In the time since, Phil has has a late night music show, "In Session," but Don Everly has yet to be heard from. This album is the first itcord Phil's made since the split, it's encouraging compared to the general quality of the rest of today's music. Phil Everly hasn't really changed (• aice still has the same soft, solemn sound it her back in the fifties. Most of the songs are soft ba Is but there saying — nature I don't want you to get the idea contrary, the music itself is extremely sophisticated and refreshing. Protheroe is no musical simpleton. Most of the songs are written in more than one time code ("Money Love" goes from 4/4 to 7/8), which gives them very catchy accents (i.e., beats). The chord patterns and melody lines are unique and pleasing. As mentioned before, the production on this album is really excellent: the most imaginative I've heard in a long time. Applause goes to producer Del Newman who has really created ten very different mood pieces. Like Protheroe's sense of humor, Newman's taste is also very subtle. He throws in subliminal touches that enhance the feel of the songs immeasurably: a slightly off time piano, a faint "meow" after the word "cat," or a guitar that slowly moves from right to left speaker as it descends a musical scale. His instrumentation is also versatile, using but not abusing a large range: cabasas and gourds for Latin touches, strings and horns for big band sounds, and a moog, usually not for any sustained musical line, but only to add an occasional wierd noise in the right place. I'm not sure who is responsible for the vocal harmonies, but they also excell. The basic third or fifth over the melody line, which is where most groups leave off, is just a starting point for Protheroe Besides a repertoire of do-weets, sbo-wahs and de- de- deeps, which are faintly audible in a number of songs (better listen with the head phones), Protheroe uses counterpoint very successfully in a number of songs, most notably "Pinball" and "Interview." "Pinball," the leading single in England, is a fitting title for the album. The song, in mood, music and lyrics, perfectly captures the post-sixties depair some of us are laboring under. However amusing the disc that it's only a joke. On the Strawbs Ghosts (A&M Records) What does one call an album that is simultaneously spooky and romantic to the point of being corny heavy and light? The Strawbs call it Ghosts. Ghosts concerns itself with two entirely different themes: despair and love. The opening tracks on sides one ("Ghosts") and two ("The Life Auction") deal with a spooky, blase, distorted sense of reality. "The Life Auction," which is quite accurately subtitled, "Impressions of Southall from the Train," opens with a verse recited by the group like witches over a brewing cauldron. As the last part of the verse explains: A Iimp, polluted flag Flutters sadly in.its death throes While crippled trees in leg irons Wearily haul themselves Through another diluted-acid day The next verse titled, "The Auction" describes the auctioneering of a human body. The listener cannot help but be left quite depressed, with the "impression of Southall from the train." The song, which attempts to evoke a gruesome sense of reality, achieves its end successfully. The title track is also wonderfully dismal, and the listener is tempted to sympathize when Dave Cousins sings: . . May you never cross the line hope your dreams are not like mine. The Strawbs also succeed with the other train of thought expressed in this album, love. On side one, is basically an Irish jig the cut, "Lemon Pie," perfectly placed after "Ghosts" to bring the listener out of his gloom. The song is basically an Irish jig. On side two, the same thing is done with "Don't Try To Change Me." This song is a nice pop tune and And I've run out of pale ale And I feel like I'm in jail And my music bores me once again And I've been on the pinball And no longer know all And they say that you never know when you're insane. / The good old days of our collective childhood are gone for sure. While Pinball is ultimately pessimistic, the humor is what saves it and —I/Villa Bassen us from insanity. mild imperfections of the album and LOVE IT!!!i —Gerald Maltz — that he's been around the music scene for so seen so many changes take place, yet everything is just a "new old song" to him. It's really enjoyable if you’re familiar with the fifties rock stars like Buddy Holly or Jerry Lee Lewis. The song ends with the chorus singing different parts of old songs. many years and PHIL EVERIY are one or two up tempo tracks. On "We're Running Out," Eveiiy tries to be political by sounding off about the energy shortage. This isn't really his bag and it shows He tries to make a point of how we're running out of oil, but using a happy melody for this sad message, he fails miserably. In "Summershine," Everly makes a habit of constantly repeating the chorus "Shine, summershine, shine on me" until the song gets on nerves. "Old Kentucky River" is a lush ballad of childhood reflections. It's really beautiful. The final track, "New Old Song" is probably the best song Everly has done in over 15 years. He mentions the various artists that were big during the Everly Brothers' heyday. After a long orchestrated intro, a chorus starts what could easily be the beginning of hundreds of fifties songs. Phil begins by your yOOWf iff" J all meshed together. Phil alludes to his own past by singing "Dream," in the background. On the whole, the album is refreshing. It's definitely contemporary, despite Everly's distinct style. He has wisely chosen to remain with his roots and unlike many fifties stars, has not redone his old hits with everything the same but the lyrics. He has progressed musically with the times. After almost 20 years in music, Phil Everly remains an original and creative musician, with a flair for making good music. —Steven Brieff p <■<1 passport photos; grad school applications, med school applications, law school applications; ID and test photos 3 photos; $3 ($.50 each additional with original order) open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. (no appointment necessary) all photos available on Fridays Friday, 21 February 1975 .

We are not so much standing at a crossroads as we are being pulled between the competing claims of the future: between negative and positive valuations of technology; between the possibilities of a unified world and a retrenched belief in realpolitik 4, between ethnic and shared culture; between the demise of literary and humanistic culture and its renewed image on P.B.S. (The Ascent of Man and Civilization we are being pulled between these and series) other divided interests. And we are moving as well into world-changing concepts and technologies not unlike the transformations of Bacon and Galileo in the early 17th century: an increased understanding of the universe through radio astronomy, the full deciphering of the genetic code, an augmented application of cybernetics to our everyday lives. We are obliged as educators to come to some fundamental decision about the imagined future of the University in the light of intellectual and technological history, the history of our students, the actual resources of the University, and the best thinking available to us by those among us who are interested in education as something more than a field and sinecure; but we have not fulfilled this obligation. Should we offer a general program, with a true rigor of independent and tutorial study, in a setting of serious thinking and colloquy? Should we offer a set of intellectual tools and comprehending ideas in the context of a program of study or should we go on ducking the past and blinking the future? Or are even these terms too heroic for those devoted to operational procedures, costs, accountabilities and bibliographic preening? It is tru£ that this University tried to adapt too specifically to the needs of students and society in the 1960’s, and that rock-mania and a sense of political apocalypse became a conduit for philistinism and reaction. But this does not justify this faculty’s and administration's willingness to ride out the 1970’s in the hope that we will, at least, gel through it, that the bad dream of upheaval will not recur if we are careful enough not to dream at all. More than a new campus, we need an intellectual and moral identity, an idea for this more or less University. Until there is an idea understood, if not agreed upon we will have only a motto, good for letterhead but not much else. But ideas are commitments and may invite criticism, may offend interest groups in an out of the University; and, to paraphrase a version of George Orwell, the notion that our education should have nothing to do with an idea of a university is itself an idea. From 1965 to 1970, UB set a pace for educators throughout the United States. Distinguished teachers and progressive administrators came from advanced graduate and professional schools to stake a claim on the Niagara Frontier for the future of education in America. For the past five years, however, we have been living down this brief, incendiary period and building a future indistinguishable from the anonymous past of the old UB. For the past five years, the aggressive and pastoral dream of the 1960’s has not let administrators and faculty sleep long and well enough to imagine special conditions of intellectual nurture and advancement. Absence of conflict is the preferred state for those who administer this University, and for those who have advanced no concept of general education having significant impact on either students or faculty. If asked to name the center of an undergraduate, UB education, I would be at a loss to give a meaningful response, as would everyone, 1 think, except those who believe that fulfilling a major is a sufficient basis for enlightenment at the end of the 20th century. In a University like ours, without claim to an identifiable past or an embedded set of guiding attitudes, a failure of intellectual coherence is corrosive and damaging. It represents, moreover, a failure of administrative and faculty nerve to choose a course for the University except one which avoids those tremors that brought American universities (o a creative and destructive pitch in the Viet Nam years. Most faculty and administrators were relived to walk away from the rubble and rabble (real and imagined) in spring 1970, with salaries intact (some improved), tenure secure, Albany appeased, UB Council placated, power battened, and dissidents shunted off to remote communes and other invisible outposts of meditation and unemployment. But our survival, though important, is not enough. Without a recognizable past and a clear commitment to program, we can be only another upwardly mobile institution justifying itself through budget requests and Chamber of Commerce cliches. Despite the emergence of some colleges tailored to special interest groups, our University is defined essentially by the strength of departments, programs within departments, and, as always, the quest (or prestige at all levels throughout the “system” prestige through publishing, research commissions and awards.

Weary of, once again, the usual turn of events. For two weeks now a group of gay people and other civil libertarians have been working hard, ferreting out an inordinate number of sordid details, to bring to public attention a pattern of highly questionable, and some grossly illegal activities by undercover campus cops. These activities (e.g., — — - — . — - - — first of a series of Private bias To the Editor suspect that whatever things are going on are in Mr. Glennon’s own head his fears, his disgust, his sense of immorality. (I must say that I’ve walked through the basement of Harriman many times in the last year on the way back from the Art Library and I haven’t seen any “thing” going on.) For those who aren’t gay, this may seem like a silly but unspeakable practices going trivial matter on behind bathroom partitions. But I think the matter is very serious because it involves a police unit exercising its own private judgment of “illegal and immoral acts” and proceeding from there to what looks suspiciously like entrapment and the general infringement of basic civil liberties. While it may be too soon on this campus to envisage Campus Security intimidating other and more political kinds of groups just because they’ve decided to harass the gay community, it’s not too hard to see that kind of extension. That’s the whole point about making sure that even the cops respect the laws of evidence and inference; and it’s also the point about The Spectrum making sure that it doesn’t just report without some deeper probing the flippant assertions of Campus Security about “unidentified” propositioners and “things” going on. — There’s something very disturbing about The Spectrum article (Feb. 19) on Campus Security’s surveillance of Harriman and Crosby. On the one hand, the article says that “illegal and immoral” activities have taken place in the basements of these buildings and hence that Campus Security has been forced to patrol the area. But if you look more closely at the article, the only substantiation for those illegal activities turns out to be Campus Security itself, and in very tenuous phrasing; in fact, since “no specific complaints” have come from the University Community, the only actual “incident” in the whole business is the alleged propositioning of one Campus Security officer by an unidentified flying object. And that is strange; if it was indeed an officer who was propositioned, certainly he ought to have made an arrest of the guilty party for that nebulous charge of “loitering for purposes of deviant sexual intercourse.” And then we’d have a specific unimpeachable instance of something illegal, an instance that could be taken through the whole legal process. But nothing like that seems to have taken place. No one else is said to have complained about anything to anyone. So from Mr. Glennon’s murky phrase (“it’s a thing we know has been going on”), I arbitrary and wholesale checking of ID’s, roughing up and attempted entrapment of students and others) although directed against gay males, jeopardize the civil liberties of every one of us. Gay people, for a change, have been taking the offensive, investigating and organizing openly against the “illegal and immoral activities” (to use a favorite phrase of Pat Glennon, Director of Campus Security) of the police. That’s the news (and, to my mind, it is very good). But your front-page story turns that news upside down, reporting most of it in the words and from the point of view of the police themselves. (The exact count is four paragraphs quoting or paraphrasing gays and civil libertarians, eight paragraphs devoted to the Campus Security version, four paragraphs mixed.) Your story makes it appear that it is not policement but gay people who have been doing something illegal, thereby putting an oppressed and, until recently, invisible minority once again on the defensive. That is the misleading effect of your story in general. Now I shall list particulars. 1) The first paragraph states that “Campus Security officers have been patrolling the basement of Harriman Library and Crosby Hall in response to reports that gay males were meeting there for sexual activities.” This is deceptive. “In response to reports” clearly means more than one and implies, at least to e\ery reader I’ve spoken to, that these reports were made by ordinary persons in the University or town to officers of Campus Security. But reading further, we learn from Mr. Glennon himself that “there have been no specific complaints from members of the University.” Why then such a large-scale undercover operation? It seems to me that Campus Security (forever complaining about being “understaffed”) should be made to concentrate, instead, on acting upon specific complaints against e.g., specific individuals for specific illegal acts recent molestations and rapes of women on the Amherst Campus. 2) We (the group of gay people and other civil libertarians already mentioned) possess signed statements by UB students testifying to the following: one student was roughed up, and a valuable piece of his property damaged, by members of Security who’d stopped and questioned him in Harriman basement; at least two students were warned by members of Security “never again to return to Harriman Library” (though President Ketter is the only person with such authority, and he stated publicly in Haas Lounge on February 18 that he hasn’t exercised it in this case); a member of Security in plain clothes unsuccessfully attempted, by exposing his penis and other suggestive gestures, to entrap a student into committing an illegal sexual act in the men’s room in Harriman basment; 1 myself was threatened by three officers with arrest if I “revealed their identity as members of Campus Security to anyone else.” 3) According to your story, Mr. Glcnnon believes that charges of police harassment of gay males are “unfounded since Security officers have questioned all men ‘who did not look like students,’ something it routinely does.” His statement deceives by omission. You should have asked: “Whom else have you questioned?” We now possess signed testimony by UB students who very much “look like students” (at least in terms of age, hair style, dress and armloads of books) as to their having been arbitrarily stopped and questioned by Security offiers in the basement of Harriman Library. (By the way, the offices, classrooms, corridors, and men’s room in Harriman basement are used by a wide cross-section of the University community. Most faculty members and administrators don’t “look like students.” Do Security officers also “routinely” stop and question them ?) 4) Your story states: “Those ‘people’ have congregated in Harriman and Crosby for the purpose of ‘illegal and immoral sexual activity,’ Mr. Glennon said.” Why is “people” in quotation marks? This - Robert Newman Associate Professor Department of English may seem like a minor point, but it isn’t. It reveals strong anti-gay bias by either Mr. Glennon or your reporter, or both. To be sure, this isn’t surprising, given the pervasive homophobia of our society, but 1 somehow expected better. Burton Weiss Program in American Studies and Tolstoy College Frday, 21 February 1975 .

Interested students may submit a request to the Office of Student Affairs and Services in Room 201 Hardman Library or call 831-3721. Student Affairs will ask the student which particular files he or she would like to inspect, and then will send a formal request to Admissions and Records Approximately one week later, the student will receive a letter informing him or her of the location of the files. The student is also asked to telephone to arrange an appointment to review and inspect the files, usually no more than a few days later. Before being permitted to see the files, University identification and the student's signature are required to insure confidentiality. The student is not permitted to be DEL-TAC alone with the records. The entire process, from initial request to final inspection, should take no longer than two weeks, barring unforeseen circumstances. The Office of Student Affairs reported that the majority of requests are for high school records. Transfer students will not be able to see their high school records, since they remain with the original college of attendance. Additionally, a recent amendment to the Buckley Act has denied students’ access to the following information: Confidential letters and recommendations placed in their files before January I. I‘)75; Parents' Confidential Financial Statements; Medical, psychiatric, clinical or similar notes and records which are privileged communication under present law. The amendment would also permit students to waive access to a particular letter of reference. (A professor might be reluctant to write a recommendation if he knows the student will have access to it.) As in the past, academic records are open for inspection under glass. The 'student need only request the transcript from Admissions and Records. Students' financial statements and departmental records are also open for inspection. If there is difficulty in obtaining either of these, the student may contact the Office of Student Affairs and Services for a formal request. -JoJv Gerard - Foreign Car Repair Volkswagen Specialist — Jersonae making 16 17 18 20 coffee; Fr.

For others of us, it was a rather long hour and fbrty-five minutes that had moments of real the opening dance “Roots” and the excitement closing number, “Thank You, Jesus” were mostly but the greater part of the evening successful either languished in uncreditable “high energy” or simply repeated itself. Judicious selection would have improved the program. May I put out a call: who will tell the Bottom of the Bucket, BUT. . . what is good and what isn’t? The Buffalo audiences won’t. They applaud anything. — — Many-faceted Fagin The show also had a hometown feel to it, suggesting an examination of just how much to concede to a group that makes no pretentions of professionalism.

Buffalo audience would do with the Alvin Ailey Company, for instance, who never had to excuse technical deficiency to affirm “black anatomy, life styles and black aesthetics.” Hope All comparisons are odious. One simply hopes that several of the more talented members of this young dance theatre will not be limited to developing Mr. Fagin’s misconceptions of what he is doing. The evening was called There’s a Meetin Here tonight of three culture and all mankind and included Mr. Fagin’s poetry between the eight dance numbers. I wonder if the company was ready to bring all of mankind together without doing it some injustice. The poems were handled in such a way as to make it difficult to appreciate that some were better than others. The first few, performed by Deirdre Eli, made definite statements, but as the show progressed, the poems were simply put out there, verbal tap dance in the interlude while the dancers changed, and again the quality of the performances varied greatly. Some of the poems could not even be heard. Finally, it was not clear why these particular poems were part of this show at all except perhaps to give Mr. Fagin a chance to “display” his work. ’ - & / %D eOflKD« V — Choreographer, Costume Designer, Director and Poet, absorbed all the petentions the company could possibly have. He writes that his dance theatre “is involved in creating dance forms with emphasis on rhythmic structure, high energy levels, torso as opposed to limb, and volume or mass in dance not line, or at least a line based on black anatomy, life styles and black aesthetics.” Yet Mr. Fagin’s choreography makes broad use of the classical and modern dance idiom and his explanation seems to be more an excuse for his dancer’s technical deficiencies and his own choreography than a clarification of the direction he is moving in. His dancers use their arms and feet very poorly, and one hopes that his problem would be addressed in the company classes rather than disguised behincf mysterious talk of a new “black line.” If this fledgling company received such a response at this point in their development, one wonders what a - Passport/Application Photos UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Tues., Wed., Thurs.: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. 3 photos for f 3 (t.50 per additional, All mankind?

And the piece called “We Are Somebody" never came together as a whole. Much of the movement seemed arbitrary and undisciplined aitd could not be redeemed by the thematic intention. I am let'i with these questions: is the world ready for one hour and forty-five minutes without intermission of Garth Fagin-trained dancers. Garth Fagin choreography.

Weakest The one dance that Mr. Fagin did not choreograph was the weakest in the show, and posed no threat to his artistic supremacy within the company. His stage direction of the dramatic interludes between the dancing were glaringly mishandled. His poetry readers had projection problems, his staging seemed to have no focus or organization at all. Perhaps an assistant direction with some theatre experience would help. And there are certainly choreographers who would like to work with this group of budding dancers, particularly with several of the men, who were quite strong. 1 hope that the Bottom of the Bucket, BUT. . . will open itself to other artistic directions.

One quick-thinking shyster has discovered a sure-fire way to win the hearts of bankers, school admissions staffs and personnel officers: impersonate a Harvard honors graduate. A man who claimed to be John Q. Johnson III, a 1973 Harvard honors graduate, successfully enrolled in a highly selective business school program, gained admission to two doctoral programs, worked in two banks as a management trainee, took out a $3000 bank loan and received a $5000 educational grant all under his false identity, according to the Harvard Crimson. The imposter, besides claiming a Harvard degree, also said he was a member of the 1972 U.S. Olympic track team and a Vietnam War veteran who had been decorated four times. “He had a file of references that was unbelievable,” said one of the bank officers who hired the bogus Johnson. The real Johnson, neither an - however, became suspicious of the Johnson an bogus during interview in December and tipped off the dean of students at the Chicago business school to the possibility of fraud. 'double-checking After records with Harvard transcript officials who had routinely been supplying the transcripts of the real Johnson to whomever the fake Johnson had requested the dean confronted the imposter with charges of entering the - - school under false pretenses. After the the charges, denying left the school. impersonator “He was just too good to be true,” said the Mobil officer. The ruse, however, apparently continues. Harrah’s Hotel and Casino of Las Vegas, Nv. recently called one of the imposter’s former employers to see if the employer would vouch for one “James Q. Johnson,” a man the coincidentally fitting imposter’s description. - nor a veteran, is enrolled as a graduate currently student in political science at Stanford University. Olympian Confusion “I’m a little confused by the whole thing,” Johnson said. In an ironic commentary on corporate hiring practices and graduate admissions policies, the Crimson revealed that the real Johnson is white while the imposter was black. A personnel officer involved in the affair said one reason he did not check out the phoney Johnson’s credentials as carefully as usual was that his company was “very anxious” to hire such a “well-qualified'black man.” The imposter began work as a trainee for the management Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh, Pa. over the past summer and promptly took out a $3000 employee loan. He then left Mellon Bank in December and was hired as a management trainee for the First National City Bank in New York. Although the impersonator has already been admitted to doctoral programs at Cornell University, N.Y. and the Carneige-Mellon Institute, Pa., First National helped to make-believe Johnson to admission to the gain University of Chicago business school.

But at the start of the season, he wasn’t ready for center. In high school, he was a 6’7” forward who hadn’t even considered going to college until coach Richardson saw him playing in a summer league game. Statistics box Wresltlng (14—3—1): Nam.

Students are advised to call Action Line for information. There will be no grand opening. Sports and Religion Buffalo’s basketball team hosts Athletes-in-Action (AIA) tomorrow night. Unlike most teams today, AIA is a team with a purpose. Founded in 1966 as the athletic ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ, AIA travels to college campuses throughout the country presenting the message of Jesus Christ, in conjunction with the athletic contest. AIA is not new to the Buffalo campus. The Bull wrestlers ran into a strong AIA squad and suffered a 25-15 defeat two years ago. Besides basketball and wrestling. AIA sponsors teams in weightlifting, track, gymnastics and flag football, and is also active in tennis, baseball and golf. Wrestlers honored The Buffalo Wrestling Bulls enjoy a national ranking (16th in the country) and a regional honor (fifth in the East). As a team, the Bulls have beaten several strong teams, but their reputation is based largely on their three big stars. Jim Young, Emad Faddoul and Charlie Wright have compiled a composite dual meet record of 49-2-2. Recently this trio was recognized by the National Mat News for their individual talents. Faddoul, a 177 pounder, and Wright, honored as heavyweight though he will go down to 190 for the post-season tournaments, were selected second team All-East. Young was picked on the third team. As the Bulls enter the tournament part of the season tomorrow, this trio carries with them Buffalo’s hopes for national placewinners. Competition is brutal at that level, but if the NationalMat News ratings are valid, these three might return from the national championships with Buffalo’s first national wrestling hardware. Women’s Basketball The brutal competition not only applies to high level wrestling, but most inter-collegiate sports. Women’s basketball is a refreshing exception. The girls no doubt want to win, but their attitude is tparkedly different. “1 really enjoyed watching them,” said Spectrum Staff Writer Paige Miller after the women’s loss to Genesee Community College Monday night. Miller usually covers the men’s team for The Spectrum. Of course, part of the fun stems from the fact that Dr. Thomas does not subscribe to the winning-is-everything philosophy. The girls don’t have the pressure to win that most of the men’s teams seem to have, and although this doesn’t provide for the highest calibre of basketball, it does make it more fun to watch. Tonight, the women cagers take on Cornell at Clark Hall at 7 p.m. Squash title The University’s B squash team has won the city Class B squash championship for the fifth year in a row, defeating the Buffalo club 4-1 in the final. A traditional male preserve, the Buffalo club received insult on top of injury, since a female member of the University contingent, Lynne Billard, (visiting professor of statistics) helped to defeat them. Other University winners were Irving Feldman (English), Alain Reynard (Pharmacology), and med student Dirk Dugan. Jerome Slater, (Political Science) the University’s captain, was their lone loser. �Broadway Job’s Nits Club 3051 Main Straat TGIF Who by Bruce Engel x that TGIF. Thank God It’s Friday. How I love Fridays. You know those initials can stand for something else. A buddy of mine came up with it a few months ago The Gimp Is Fucked. That’s my nickname for three years now, the Gimp. All my friends know it, my family knows. I kinda like it. I guess the whole world might as well know about it. Getting back to Friday, today is Friday. But not just any Friday. This is the Friday after the Wednesday when the Student Assembly was introduced to the five sport plan. This is the Friday after the Wednesday when The Spectrum supported that plan in an editorial. This is the Friday that I have a chance to refute that superifical editorial. Friday means that the old Gimp gets to lay it on you. Here it goes In my humble opinion the plan proposing the five big sports idea is that’s Flicka’s feces for you culture buffs, also known as horseshit solid waste excreted from equus caballus. All jokes aside, I can’t support this plan in any way, shape or form. It would leave the University, not with an athletic program, but with a crock of shit. Athletics doesn’t mean an elite five teams, while the others receive a pittance, or probably don’t receive anything and cease sick person and — why is she writing sick poems about me? Gus - a Winner! to exist. Furthermore it is unrealistic in the face of a nearly destitute economy and adverse national trends in intercollegiate athletics, to think that the five big teams can generate significant amounts of income, or significantly greater student interest than they do at present. The improvement in the caliber of the team, a necessary first step but not enough in and of itself to accomplish these ends, is not possible under present conditions. This improvement would require athletic scholarships as well as reduced admissions stardards for athletes. Right now we don’t have those things, and if we get them, where are we then? Well, we’d have mercenary athletes, hired hands, sts Craftsmen & Enter the d Town U.S.A. 1 st Annual Art Festival functional non-students brought here to perform. The plain fact is that people have missed the boat interpreting the strength of the program. Its strength is not All American wrestlers like Jim Young and Charles Wright, strong armed pitchers like Jim Reidel and high scoring hockey stars like Mike Klym, though we’re all vt ery proud of them and the other fine athletes. The strength of the program is the fact that it involves large numbers of students, people just like you and 1, who simply want a competitive opportunity. The strength Judge: Mr. Wm. Giles of the program is that it is open to anyone, not just the high caliber Any student can compete on the smaller varsitys and many do. Teams like fencing, swimming, track, cross country and tennis shouldn’t be considered the dregs of the program, because few people watch them. Quite the contrary, they exemplify the opportunity of any student to participate. In a word, they are the strength of a program that is designed to serve regular students, not talented recruits. State recruited athlete. absurd? For more information A.C.S. Gallery jcall i OLD TOWN U.Si. iR’tmotioMikioar ' Now the talented recruit has his or her place, but not to the exclusion of the normal student, as SA’s proposal A does. If money is a problem, and it is and will continue to be, the big teams should spend a little less. Money can’t really help them anyway. Two factors, admissions and scholarships, both of which are out of students control, are their major problems. For that matter, all teams could spend a little less, reduce the schedules a little, play more local teams. Exclusion is a very unacceptable answer. Nonetheless, proposal A is with us. It has a lot of support. It might even pass. It makes me sick. Almost sick enough to quit. Almost sick enough to leave town altogether. The mere fact that the proposal has surfaced, that The Spectrum has hastily supported it, presents a sad and dangerous situation. It’s odd that the same group of individuals, the SA leadership, who fought so hard against the coalition to retain the athletic program a year ago, have now, in all good faith, proposed a program that effectively kills the guts of it. They feel they are helping students but in reality they are hurting everyone. It is now up to the SFA, the athletic review board and other interested parties to try to preserve a ten or eleven team program rather than a five team joke. Women’s lib would really have done something should this proposal pass. We would be left with five men’s teams and eight women’s teams. There might be three sports, swimming, tennis and golf, where the women have teams and the men don’t. Should Title IX become law, and it probably will soon, there would be nothing to restrict a male swimmer, for example, from going out for the women’s swim team. In effect then proposal A cuts women’s athletics, even though it claims to increase it, due to the fact that it forces the women’s program to fund coed teams. Isn’t all this fascinating? Isn’t it |H * Amiqu* viiiaf* H A I I I Jj jmcArtsJtlm(Cmmittee--: :t * Dir Should proposal A pass, the athletic department has but one logical course of action. Strike. They should walk right out rather than put up with a program that’s not a program, one that barely satisfies NCAA membership requirements. If that happens the student body would lose it all the whole works, possibly even intramurals. (After all it is the athletic department’s professionals that run the program.) Their representatives in the Student Assembly have that power. If they — . . Well, I’d rather not even think about it. See you next week.

The SpecTi\UM University Wednesday, 19 February 1975 of New York at Buffalo The hunter Conservationist, or killer? by Rosalie Zuckerman Spectrum Staff Writer —Briuon Harriman, Crosby Harassment of gays by Security charged “We want hunters prosecuted for cruelty to animals,” said at a Amory Cleveland controversial debate on hunting and the environment in Haas Lounge Friday night. The debate, sponsored by WBFO, pitted John Ailes of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and Dr. Ward Stone, chief pathologist of the New York State Conservation Environmental department (pro-hunting), against Mr. Amory, President of The Fund for Animals and former hunter and outdoor writer Bill Grosscup (anti-hunting). “The tradition in North America has been that all people have the right to hunt as a sport,” Mr. Ailes began. “The sportsmen, in addition to being a hunter, is also a conservationist.” “Around the turn of the century, my kind of hunter realized that we were losing about wildlife He brought hunting limitations, state game agencies and the passage of legislation creating treaties with Canada and Mexico that protected Mr. But migratory birds.” Grosscup offered a different definition of the hunter. “He is not a conservationist nor is he a sportsman. There is no sport in hunting; there is sport in trapping or observation of wildlife, but when the gun is aimed, the trigger pulled and the animal falls, there is no sport.” —continued on page 2— Plainclothes Campus Security officers have been patrolling the basement of Harriman Library and Crosby Hall in response to reports that gay males were meeting there for sexual activities. The stationing of the officers in those buildings, which was confirmed Monday by Pat Glennon, director of Security, has prompted a College F instructor to level charges of harassment. The Instructor Burton Weiss based his charges on reports from “reliable friends” who have encountered security officers in these areas, and on a personal incident which occurred February 5 in Harriman Library. At that time, the officers asked Mr. Weiss for identification because “there have been reports of lots of people from off-campus hanging around here lately,.” - - Gay meetings Those “people” have congregated in Harriman and Crosby for the purpose of “illegal and immoral sexual activity,” Mr. Glennon said. They had been originally “chased out” of a department store at the near-by University Plaza, and began meeting on campus, he explained. Although both buildings have always been included on the regular patrol routes, Campus Security began an increased watch on the areas when one officer was propositioned in Harriman bathroom. Specifically, an unidentified male allegedly passed a note to the guard which invited him to participate in “homosexual activity,” Mr. Glennon emphasized. The incident resulted in an investigation of “unlawful sexual activity” that may have occurred over a period of time in Harriman and Crosby, Mr. Glennon stated. There have been no specific complaints from members of the University, alhtough “It’s a thing we know has been going on,” said Mr. Glennon. Mr. Glennon believes that the charges of harrassment are unfounded since security officers have questioned all men “who did not look like students,” something it routinely does. Mass arrests Lee Griffin, another director of Campus Security, has been reported as telling-Charles Haynie, director of College F, that mass arrests would follow if the situation did not soon clear up. When asked by Mr. Haynie what was illegal about approaching someone, Mr. Griffin reputedly responded that a person could be charged with “loitering for purposes of deviant sexual intercourse.” Mr. Griffin then allegedly advised Mr. Haynie to discourage people from using the cited bathroom, because “the public John is not the best people to meet people.” In another encounter with security officers near the Harriman bathroom, the officers told Mr. Weiss that they were “under authorized investigation from Hayes Hall.” Mr. Weiss said that when he warned a passer-by that Campus Security was “harrassing” people, the officers answered that he could be arrested for governmental obstruction. “He (Mr. Weiss] was interfering,” Mr. Glennon agreed, “and may be running on the edge of getting arrested for obstruction.” Mr. Glennon then clarified his statement, explaining that if Mr. Weiss had physically prevented an identification check (a right of Campus Security on University grounds], he could face arrest. Rough-up Mr. Weiss also accused Security of roughing-up a student. Mr. Glennon denied this allegation, claiming that no one had reported the scuffle to his office. Campus Security’s involvement in the matter, according to Mr. Glennon, is to “concentrate on an activity which should not be taking place.” Officers will continue to patrol these areas, he said, “until they become convinced that this isn’t a place to gather.” “Gay males have the right to meet with each other, whenever they want,” Mr. Weiss responded. He asserted that the presence of the officers has a “chilling effect” on a First Amendment freedom, the right of assembly. “Right now, Campus Security is working against a whole class of people,” hat said. “Students must find means of expressing the demand for removal of these officers from these places. Mr. Weiss said there will be a meeting to organize against police harrassment of gay males on campus on Thursday, February 20 at 7 p.m. Anyone who is interested should call College F at 831-5386. Students busted for dope on campus; legality questioned Two University students were arrested Thursday .by Erie County deputy sheriffs in Clement Hall on charges involving the sale of one pound of PCP by one student to an undercover narcotics agent, and the discovery of over a pound of marijuana in the other student’s room. The students pleaded not guilty at an arraignment Friday morning in Buffalo City Court before Chief Judge Buswell Roberts. Neither student had been previously arrested. Norman Effman, attorney for the accused, said Monday that arresting officers’ failure to obtain search and arrest warrants “raises some real questions” about the legality of the search. The students, released Friday on $500 bail each, face additional charges stemming from searches of their dormitory rooms immediately following the evening arrests. The student accused of the PCP sale, which carries a maximum sentence of seven years’ imprisonment, is also charged with criminal possession with intent to sell. Both are felonies. He was also charged with possession of Tuenill, a barbiturate, and drug paraphrenalia, such as scales and rolling papers, which are misdemeanors. Pot: 15 years A search of the second student’s dormitory room allegedly discovered more than a pound of marijuana, along with assorted amphetamine and barbiturates. The marijuana charges carry a maximum penalty of 15 years imprisonment. A suppression hearing, which questions the legality of a search, and determines if the evidence revealed in a search may be used in court, will be held today. Three other dormitory residents and one non-student were detained f6r questioning. Sergeant Russel Pecoraro, one of the arresting officers, said that a warrant was not needed for the officers to enter the building because a felony was allegedly committed in an officer’s presence. The other arresting officers were Detectives William Graber and James Ketchum. Neither Campus Security nor any member of the University administration was notified prior to the arrests. Two plainclothes campus security officers did aid in making the arrests, however. No notification The usual practice for any law enforcement agency with superseding authority over Campus Security is to notify local authorities of any action well before it is taken. The Courier-Express has reported that the arrests were the result of a two-month investigation. Sgt. Pecoraro explained that his office had been receiving complaints from students and parents about an increase in the use of drugs on campus. The drug being sold as THC is mostly PCP, an animal tranquilizer. Because the University is in Erie County, Sheriffs Department officers have jurisdiction on campus According to several students in Clement Hall during the arrests, the plainclothes Sheriffs officers waited in the Clement lobby until the undercover agent, a woman, had completed the alleged transaction and returned downstairs. While they waited, the officers prevented any of the students nearby from using the telephone or leaving the immediate area. When the undercover officer came downstairs, the plainclothesmen waiting in the lobby went up to make the arrests. �Analysis K Proposals presented for cutting small teams, strengthening others by Brace Engel Sports Editor Proposals for drastic cuts in the six “small” intercollegiate athletic teams and strengthening the five remaining “spectator sports” were explored Monday at a meeting between members of the Student Association (SA) Executive Committee and representatives of the newly-formed Students for the Future of Athletics (SFA). The proposals may be discussed at today’s meeting of the Student Assembly. The plan, presented by SA Student Affairs coordinator Howard Schapiro, is designed to maintain current levels of funding for teams with the greatest spectator appeal and generate increased income from these larger sports. Mr. 'Schapiro and SA President Frank Jackalone feel that continued use of student activity fees for intercollegiate athletics can be justified only if spectator appeal and income are considered. During the past year, the intercollegiate athletic budget was heavily criticized by different factions of the Student Assembly, and SA officers have been meeting over the past few months with members of the administration and athletic department to find some way of maintaining an effective program. Big five The Schapiro plan, which the SA leadership is expected to bring before the Student Assembly this afternoon, would guarantee $104,000 to keep the big five sports soccer, basketball, wrestling, hockey and baseball funded at their present levels and (jut in half the total administration and publicity lines. “This is the only thing we thought we could sell 4o the Assembly,” said Mr. Schapiro in defense of the plan. The women’s program, including its own general administration and publicity,••would receive $23,000, slightly more than it now gets. SA’s allocation would also - - Hunting. Mr. Grosscup claimed that extensive hunting is depleting the nation’s wildlife, and pointed out the danger to the hunters themselves. In one hunting.season, 76 hunters were shot at by other hunters; 28 of them killed. “It looks like the deer are gaining,” Mr. Grosscup said. Rebuttals Stone Dr. immediately challenged the assertion that hunters were wiping out animal The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc. Offices are located at 355 Norton Hall, State University of N. Y. at include an operational fund of $17,000 which, with the deduction of a projected $9500 deficit, would leave the athletic department with $7500 to use for all other men’s intercollegiate sports. These include cross country, track, tennis, fencing, golf and swimming, which are now budgeted for a total of $25,000. The Athletic Department would therefore stand to lose $ 17,500 for small sports. Dennis Delia, newly-appointed chairman of the Student Athletic Review Board, offered a counter-proposal which he termed “middle-of-the-road,” that would restore $11,000 more to maintain tennis, track, cross country and swimming at their present levels while increasing the publicity budget (Lack of publicity is one of SFA’s major complaints.). Mr. belia’s plan did call for the elimination of golf and fencing, two sports he claimed had the least participation. The SFA had opened the meeting with a prepared statement that all programs must be maintained at least at their current levels because they are an integral part of a student’s education. Charles Ciotta, who wrote the statement, claimed that athletics*is necessary because it serves as an advanced physical education program and a laboratory for prospective coaches and teachers. SA President Frank Jackalone explained that he had to consider athletics as a student activity that would be evaluated by the Assembly in terms of dollars and cents relative to the number of people receiving the benefits. The group went on to discuss the possibility of procuring state funding, but generally concluded that it would be impossible Mr. Jackalone also said that SA would no longer deal with the athletic department officials, preferring to confer with the athletes themselves. The recent organization of the SFA makes this possible for the first time, and SFA leader Jim Young claimed that there was no official connection between his group and the athletic administration or coaches. One of SFA’s major complaints was a lack of < supportive publicity in both The Spectrum and, in particular, the Athletic Department itself. The group also charged that sports information director Dick Baldwin had not used his budget efficiently by concentrating too much on the community and alumni without doing enough to inform students about the program. Mr. Baldwin declined to comment on the issue in a telephone interview Monday. The SFA members repeatedly stressed that publicity is one of their top priorities and that they would like to produce their own newspaper for this purpose. The possibility of diverting the funds budgeted to sports information and letting the students use it for this special sports newspaper was kicked around, with no definitive decision reached. • species, claiming that their activity was actually protecting wildlife their by reducing populations to less competitive levels. As a result of properly regulated hunting seasons, many species of wild life are more abundant now than in the past, he to the referring added, white-tailed deer who were rescued from becoming extinct and now number more than 20 million. Dr. Stone also lointed out the dangers of overpopulated herds who damage vegetation and destroy agriculture. He claimed that unchecked species often present health hazards.

Hunting is a necessity to keep these populations in check before they reach this diseased level, he added. “If man does not do anything about it, mother nature will and mother nature can be cruel.” Hunting the hunters Mr. Amory then told a story to ridicule Dr. Ward’s argument. “We decided to start a club called Hunt the Hunter ,” he said seriousness. “The in mock purpose of this club was to shoot the hunter for his own sake just like animals. We explained tp hunters that we were not trying to exterminate them, we were just trying to harvest and trim them.” where hunters shot Dakota Mr. Amory went on to accuse 50,000 snow geese, but left most hunters of cruel atrocities. He told of them to rot. Several of these of one incident occurring at a geese were later found with jammed in their cigarettes mouths. Dr. Stone argued that the Sand Lake incident and others like it were rare cases. “You always have ‘slobs’ guilty of this kind of abuse and they should be prosecuted.” He explained that sportsmen often set up preserves to maintain a natural habitat for exotic, tamed animals. “If it were not for the sportsmen’s interest and money, r there would be no animals around for us to argue about.” Spring Semester beginning Thurs.

Mr. Amory said that only 3.5 percent of the people in the U.S. are hunters and that the majority of Americans want to see animals live.

Since water is necessary for the support of plant, animal and human life, serious questions arise concerning the contamination of entire life cycles. When Crops are sprayed with DDT to kill insects, nearby animals are often affected. When these animals eat plants containing DDT. they increase the DDT in their own systems and when humans eat meat we get the accumulated DDT from both. A related insectide, DDD, has been found to destroy the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland, asserted Ms. Carson. Today, cattle producers use other chemicals, suspected of being dangerous, to fatten up cattle and to arrest diseases long enough for the cattle to be slaughtered and sold.

As startling as these figures may seem, more and more young people have been committing violent and often perverse crimes Last year, two ten-year old youths were approached by two older youths (one 14 years old, the other 16) outside a sporting goods store in Brooklyn. The older boys demanded at knifepoint all their money, and also told them to return their purchases and hand over the refund. Afterwards, the victims were forced onto a bus and taken to an abandoned apartment where several perverse acts were committed. The older boys defacated on the floor and made the victims pick it up. They then tied one to a ladder and applied burning matches to his body and set his hair on fire. The other had his head placed in water for one minute intervals, and was dangled out the window. Plastcrboards were smashed over their heads and wedges of 1 wood were pounded into their knuckles with hammers. Finally they were beaten and sodomized. Violence at home Although no one has pinpointed the reasons behind the higher incidence of juvenile crimes, several theories have been advanced. Robert Ford, a criminologist at the State University at Buffalo, suggested that a subculture of violence exists in many crowded cities. Peer pressure expresses itself in street gangs, which are often a means of survival, he explained. Violence thus becomes an appropriate way of dealing with situations. A ghetto youth is routinely exposed to it, so it of acceptable way an becomes communicating, Dr. Ford stressed. When status cannot be gained by money or a prestigious position, it is achieved by one who is the best warrior, he went on. Violence, Dr. Ford surmised, is a natural human reaction that usually fades into.the once the individual is background “socialized.” In the case of a person living in a ghetto, the normal process of socialization is disturbed. Television violence Other factors contributing to the widespread occurance of juvenile crimes could be the influence of television and periodicals, a lack of parental guidance and the fact that the policeman is no longer a figure of authority, according to some Others contend that psychologists. boredom also contributes to violence. Additionally, a 14 year old might know that the worst that can happen to him if he kills someone is an 18-month stretch in a reformatory As a result of the rise in violent crimes committed by juveniles, new and tougher state laws are being drafted for the current legislative session in Albany. Among these is a statute reducing the cut-off age for juveniles from 16 to 14, and a law allowing juveniles charged with serious crimes to be tried in Criminal rather than Family court. At present, no one is certain what chance these laws have of passing. Although 70 percent of all juvenile crime occurs in cities, violent behavior has also been exhibited by youths in rural areas. In the South, where guns are more openly accepted, there is a high rate of juvenile violence. Some authorities say juvenile delinquents from rural areas are harder to control than city delinquents. Statistics show that juvenile crime urban to increase in continues social communities. Several scientists have the crime rate will suggested, however, that because of the soon begin to decrease With less juveniles in declining birth rate. an area, there may be less peer pressure applied to the newcomer. This and other benefits of a less congested city should result in a decrease in the number of juvenile crimes. Charles King, Director of Rehabilitation for the New York State Division of Youth, recently studied nine juvenile offenders, including a “torch killer,” and a youth who had performed a dismemberment. All came from troubled families where parents often displayed unpredictable mood shifts. The to distrust their learned youths environment and to constantly expect harm. All were retarded in reading and had dull to normal IQ’s (92-104). Lacking command of the English language, the youths fell back on what Mr. King called “inner cues,” such as feelings of omnipotence. To sustain their feelings of omnipotence, they . reduced their symbols of communication to primitive speech and action power. In reducing social exchanges to power struggles, persons became objects and were seen only as obstacles. Ax murdered Routine activities like talking and thinking were less tolerable for these lencc, accon ling to youths sense of omnipotence Their study. King was actually a feeling of helplessness. They would kill someone who offended them and feel no remorse about it, and would blame the victim simply because they resisted. Juvenile violence does not only occur in poor areas of crowded cities. Recently, in an upper middle class community in New Jersey, a 15 year-old honor student ax-murdered his parents and then committed suicide. The boy was described as a light-hearted, mild-mannered teenager with an IQ of 125. His father was a bank Vice President and his mother was a domineering housewife. The boy was apparently under pressure from his parents to do well academically because his sister was valedictorian of her class. Police later discovered that he had a secret room decorated with swastikas and a written document by Adolf Hitler, and he had read Inside the Third Reich five times. Psychiatrists have stated that the secret room, parental pressure, and the allure of Hitler signify something profound, but they cannot conclude what. They cannot even determine if he was sane or insane. It is possible that he was tom between a rebellion of the perfectionist attitudes of his parents and the desire to please them. More than anything else, the case showed that juvenile violence is not confined strictly to ghetto environments. Edmunds lecture Speaker seeks human priorities in education Rudolf Steiner’s theory of education, an anti-scientific alternative to the technological educations that students have traditionally received, was explored Thursday in Norton Hall by L. Francis Edmunds, principal and founder of Emerson College in Sussex, England. Edmunds asked the audience, “What has technology to do with the development of man?” “It is like the house that Jack built, only there is no place for Jack. He is left out in the cold with no place to go,” he said. Mr. Edmunds explained that Steiner’s Theory is an attempt to find the nature of man, something that has been obscured by technological advances. To accompish this, we must transform ourselves back to childhood, he said. “We must learn to communicate creatively and to draw attention to the things that have receded and fallen back into ourselves.” introduced to modern times, learning about such things as the printing press, navigation by star readings, the telescope, microscope, steam engine and the wonders of modern age. After grade eleven, students are taught subjects like language, arts, and crafts. Their teachers in turn work with other instructors to expand themselves. This interweaving of the faculty, which is emphasized at weekly faculty meetings, is essential for maintaining high educational standards. Although subjects like math, geography, history, chemistry and physics are explored in high school, Mr. Edmunds emphasized that high school was not the end of the educational process. “The high school process leads upward again because we become aware of what we don’t know,” he explained. method spread to more than twenty schools. In 1939, however, the Nazis closed down the German schools because they were viewed as contrary to the Nazi philosophy. There were originally four such schools in England, two in Switzerland, and one in New York City. Expansion of the schools was impossible until after World War II, but between 1945 and 1975, more than 100 Steiner schools have come into existence in the free world. Of those, thirty-five are English-speaking, eightenn are in the United States, and two are in Canada. Expand themselves Steiner’s schooling process consists of a number of steps corresponding to the development of mankind, Mr. Edmunds said. By the end of the sixth grade, students have completed schooling which is equivalent to history at the end of the middle ages. In the seventh and eighth grades, they are gradually Anti-Nazi The Steiner Theory is also called the Waldorf education method because the request for the first school came from the owner of the Waldorf-Astoria Cigarette Company in Stuttgart, Germany for the benefit of the children ofhis employees. Between 1919 and 1939 the Waldorf education Mr. Edmunds related an encounter between himself and a man to whom he was explaining the Steiner Theory. “I know what you’re doing,” the man exclaimed. “You’re fighting evil.” Mr. Edmunds contemplated that statement and decided that the man was right. “What we are attempting to accomplish is the redemption of the state of man today,” he reiterated. Page four The Spectrum Wednesday, 19 February 1975 . . Mr. Edmunds was director of teacher training at Michael Hall in Sussex, England for forty years before founding Emerson College to promote the Steiner Theory. “1 named my college after Ralph Waldo Emerson because he had regard for the expressive quality of nature,” he explained. �While people starve Tons of unused food stuffs inside Civil Defense shelters by Joseph P. Esposito Contributing Editor Millions of people throughout the world go to bed hungry every night, while others waste more food at one meal than they consumed during an entire day. The sharp contrast between the haves and the have-nots is best illustrated by the food supplies accumulated in Civil Defense shelters nationwide which would feed millions of hungry people. The food, however, will soon be unusable, deteriorating in almost near-forgotten shelters which stand as memorials to an age passed. In Erie County alone, the stored provisions would feed over 850,000 people for a two week period, with those on the University’s Main Street Campus alone able to support 35,000 people for a similar time span. The Civil Defense stores, which include food, water, health supplies and radiation detectors have been in the shelters for more than ten years. Food spot-checked The food is spot-checked twice a year by Army medical officers who have yet to find any deterioration in the food here. The food supplies include a high-calorie biscuit described as something “similar to an animal cracker,” a carbohydrate supplement, and drinking water stored in plastic bags in metal containers. Although the medical stores are non-perishables, John McEvoy, Acting Deputy Director of Civil Defense for Erie County, explained that “variances in temperatures and humidity make it difficult to estimate the shelf-life [of the food supplies] The Civil Defense Act of 1950 set up the Civil Defense (CD) operations.

The program includes: Quartet in D Minor, Op. 76, No. 2 “Quinten” by Haydn; Quartet in B Minor, Op. 11 by Samuel Barber. During the second half of the program, the quartet will invite the audience to choose several movements from their repetoire. 1969, has been The Quartet, which was formed in the fall of 1971. In addition to here since Quartet-in-Residence performing the annual Slee Beethoven Cycle of the Department of Music, they have been heard at such places as the Festival Casals, the Library of Congress, Washington’s Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall, London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, the South Bank Festival, and the Herkulessaal of Munich. Their first album for RCA Red Seal, of the complete string quartets of Brahms, gained instant acclaim, along with “Best of the Year” awards from Time Magazine and Stereo Review and a Grammy nomination. , Anti-war benefits They regularly perform more than 80 concerts a year, including numerous anti-war benefits, and they are active fundraisers for the American Civil Liberties Union. Last year they gave their first benefit concert for Chilean refugees at SUNYAB. As member Peter Salaff said, “The Quartet is very concerned about world affairs. We have a very strong interest in what is happening in Chile.” Mr. Salaff. the Quartet’s second violinist, lived in Chile for two and a half years while teaching at the University of Concepcion. During his stay he played in an orchestra, a chamber music ensemble, did solo work, made recordings and appeared on television. He was also active in forming a student orchestra made up of young children from poor families and broken homes. Explaining the Quartet’s involvement with the fundraising drive, said, “When we learned of the great tragedy of the coup, we Salaff Mr. were shocked and wanted to do anything we could to aid people who were being persecuted. 1 was personally grieved at the execution of a colleague who had helped form a wonderful orchestra of young people.” Chile benefit The Buffalo Committee for Chilean Democracy, which was formed immediately after the coup, is making arrangements for the event and has itself been active in organizing fund-raising activities, film showings, and educational lectures on the Chilean situation.

Responding to charges by this year's Student Assembly that the number of participants and spectators actively involved in certain sports is too few to justify their large allocations, the SA representatives have made recommendations that should make the funding more equitable without crippling the entire athletic program. As presented by SA President Frank Jackalone, Student Affairs Coordinator Howard Schapiro and Speaker's Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow at a meeting last Monday with the newly-formed Students for the Future of Athletics, the proposal would guarantee for at least one basketball, wrestyear enough money to keep the "big five" sports ling, hockey, baseball and soccer operating at their current levels and allow the athletic department to spend any excess income to expand these programs if it so desires. At the same time, it would decrease the allocations to the smaller sports which have fewer participants and can hardly be considered spectator sports, and provide more money for women's sports, intramurals and recreation and club sports. In drawing up their proposal, Messrs. Jackalone, Schapiro and Morrow wisely struck a middle ground. They anticipated the hostility of the Student Assembly toward athletics, nourished by a year of frustration at having little say over the intercollegiate athletic budget, without forgetting the importance of sports that have broad appeal. More importantly, they essentially served notice to the Athletic Department that students are the ones who pick up the tab for athletics and should therefore decide exactly how that money is spent. This exercise in self-assertion is certainly the most intelligent way of dealing with Athletic Director Harry Fritz, a person who would rather pay only lip service to student preferences in athletics. Because it emphasizes the importance of student involvement in both the decision making process and in athletic activities themselves, the proposal deserves the support of the Student Assembly and the student body. 'YOU CAN SAY THIS TOR HENRY—HE AMY RE BORING, AND DULL, AND CHARISAIA, BUT HE'S TOTALLY DEVOID OF SUBTLITYI' ■— — Senseless exile President Ford's recent extension of the amnesty program is sadly characteristic of his performance in office and closely parallels his moves on the economy. When Mr. Ford instituted the amnesty program last fall, he chose what was essentially a politically palatable but wishy-washy course. His program was ill-conceived, its administration by the Justice and Defense Departments poorly handled, and the results have been predictably poor. Yet when faced with these facts, Mr. Ford made no move to correct the injustices of "amnesty." Instead, he simply extended the deadline, hoping, as with the economic problems, that the problem would go away. A program of total, unconditional amnesty is the only answer. Unlike another pardon that was handed out recently, a pardon for Vietnam-era draft evaders stands on its own merits. Those who refused to fight understood the hypocrisy and tragic implications of endless war in Indochina years before the rest of the country came to its senses. By depriving these men of amnesty, the United States discriminates against men whose courage and perspective are essential for making some of the crucial global decision in years to come. Blunting some of the most intelligent American voices by herding them out of especially with someone like Gerald Ford as President the country can only lead to more tragedy. — — The Spectrum Wednesday, 19 February 1975 Vol. 25, No. 57 Editor-in-Chief - Managing Editor Amy Dunlon Managing Editor Michael O'Neill — — . .

I am a graduate student and therefore not directly effected by the recent proposed budget for the Athletic Department, Division of Varsity Athletics for the next school year. Even still, I cannot condone the drastic cutbacks that SA President Frank Jackalone has demanded of the department. There are some facts that I feel should be brought to your and the school clientele’s attention: 1. The money that is being taken from the Athletic Department is going into the greedy pockets of those other University departments and offices who overspend their budgets every year without failure. Actually, the Athletic Department is being used as a sacrifice to fatten up the budgets of the other departments in this institution. 2. Athletes whose programs will come to a close because of your budget proposals for next year are in jeopardy. In order to participate in the varsity athletics at another institution, the athlete must first attain one year of tenure at the school because of his transfer student status. If the athlete is a junior; he must either terminate his athletic career or stay in school for an additional year. 3. Some athletes are attending UB on sports scholarships. If their sport terminates, their scholarship money will probably be revoked causing them to resign from school, thus either postponing or terminating their education and occupational 4. The Student Association has turned an apathetic ear to the Athletic Department and feels this is in the best interest of the school. It is not. Because of the drastic cuts in budget that you have perpetrated against the Athletic Department, it has become increasingly difficult to recruit quality athletes for the specific varsity sports comprising the thus jeopardizing the varsity program here, popularity of the team sports. In essence, it is the Student Association that is actually responsible for the poor turnout at the school’s varsity athletic events. 5. The Athletic Department’s budget has been getting cut for the past three years. There were 16 varsity sports in 1972, 13 in 1973, 9 in 1974 and five proposed for 1975. These statistics speak for themselves. If this growing trend is allowed to continue, monetary genocide will have been committed against the Athletic staff, athletes and coaches. UB will become one of the few popular state institutions in this country without an athletic program altogether. 1, as a concerned Physical Education Major, cannot and will not allow that to happen.

Richard Helms, former Director of the CIA, told a Senate committee in early February that there was “no doubt” that the Nixon Administration wanted all along to have Chilean President Salvador Allende overthrown. Mr. Helm’s flat assertion about the Nixon administration’s intentions toward Dr. Allende contradicts pages of sworn testimony by various government officials about our policies towards Chile. Allende was overthrown in Sept. 1973 in one of the bloodiest military coup’s in Latin American history. During the coup, between 10,000—20,000 people were killed. President Nixon, Henry Kissinger, and other lesser officials subsequently denied that the United States had anything to do with the coup. We know now that Nixon and Kissinger, unable to bring about Allende’s overthrow during the critical period between the Sept. 1970 elections and Allende’s confirmation in office in early November 1970, authorized the CIA to spend at least $8 million to “destabilize” the Allende regime. President Ford, rather than repudiating his predecessor’s actions towards Chile, has justified them. He said last September that the military coup in Chile was in the best interests of our government and the Chilean people. Under the Junta today, the Chilean Congress has been closed, trade unions prohibited, political parties banned, the press censored, and a regime of torture installed. Inflation is the highest in the world. Officially, it was about 400 percent in 1974, but in fact probably closer to 1000 percent for most popular items. The real wages of most Chileans have decreased 50 percent since the coup. Poorer Chileans live on a diet of bread, soup, and beans. Unemployment is estimated at about 20 percent. 6, On Nov. the United Nations overwhelmingly condemned “the permanent violation of human rights by the Chilean military Junta,” in a 90-8 vote with 29 abstentions. On Dec. 6. the five man investigatory commission sent to Chile by the Organization of American States (OAS), reported that there have been, and are “extremely serious violations of human rights” in Chile, including the extensive torture of political prisoners. In November, Mexico broke off all diplomatic relations with Chile.

The detrimental physiological effects of such an environment have been established and listed on the Tobacco Smoke Emissions Fact Sheet, distributed by Erie County Department of Health. Aside from the real but perhaps not so readily apparent damage to the cardiopulmonary systems, the problems caused by garbage (in the form of ash, butts and matches) left on floors and desks, the burning of eyes, sinuses and throat, and their necessary effect on concentration and motivation must have a dampening effect on the educational process. The numbers of people actively expressing perturbation at, or even awareness of, this problem has seemed relatively small, although a majority of adults do not smoke. I believe this to be the consequence of stigmas attached to such vocalization (especially when one’s professor is a major offender). It has been suggested that 1 request the Student Association to consider voting to change this degeneration. Numbers, however, are irrelevant, as a solution to this problem is necessitated by equity, not majority. Docs one’s “right” to smoke (and in so doing endangering the health and well-being of others) transcend others’ right to poison-free breathing? Reason answers no! Ethics answers no! Legislatures across the country in recent ordinances (including Erie County legislation) have answered Lax refused to send economic or military aid, and France heavy weapons. Most Scandanavian countries have no economic or military trade with Chile as well. In addition, Australia does not trade with Chile and Italy refuses to send an ambassador. It is the U.S. that has been the main prop of the Chilean military government. In December, the U.S. Congress finally moved to partially halt this shameful situation. Both the House and Senate agreed on a Foreign Aid Bill which eliminates all military aid to Chile in the fiscal year 1975. The bill was passed in the Senate by a narrow 46-45 vote. Economic aid to the Junta by the U.S. government has also been limited to $25 million. When President Ford signed the bill into law, he complained about the restrictions in aid to Cambodia and Chile. The Ford administration had originally asked for $85 million in economic aid and $25 million in military aid, doubling the previous year’s amounts. But Ford and Kissinger are likely to make certain that the Chilean military get all the help they need, regardless of the wishes of the U.S. Congress, the U.S. public, or the Chilean people. Already, the Pentagon has okayed an arms sales by Cessna and Northrop airplane manufacturers to Chile. These private firms sold $80 million worth of jet fighters to Chile late last year, even though the Pentagon could have vetoed the sales. Additionally, the U.S. has and will continue to exert its large influence in the international banks to make sure the military regime in Chile gets generous loans, no matter how bad the Chilean economic outlook. This is the opposite of the stringent credit blockade that Kissinger ordered for the Allende regime. In Chile, the repression continues. There are about 10,000 political prisoners locked up in 37 makeshift concentration camps, and there is a continuous stream of new arrivals. Most political prisoners are routinely tortured. In recent days, the Chilean military regime has become more aware of its isolation, and attempted to improve its image by releasing a few of the better known political prisoners. One of those was Orlando Letelicr, imprisoned near Antarctica, and released last November. Letelier was the Chilean Ambassador to the U.S. in 1971 and 1972, and Minister of Defense and Interior for Allende in 1973. Now residing in the U.S., he will be coming to Buffalo on March 6 and will speak in the Fillmore Room at 7;30 p.m. by Buffalo Committee for Chilean Democracy Dear President Ketter: or no! I have been attempting for close to two years to evoke change. I have spoken with Mr. Syracuse of Environmental Health and Safety and with Dr. Ertell of the Administration concerning smoking in that classrooms, and am unconvinced the Administration is willing to provide and enforce equitable guidelines unless so forced by legislation. Universities have traditionally been centers of informed, educated and progressive thought. SUNY at Buffalo has enjoyed a reputation of leadership in such conduct in Western New York. Despite, however, a plethora of scientific evidence of the dangers involved, the University of Buffalo remains stagnant as the surrounding community and Buffalo State College institute guidelines. If the Administration has, as I believe it does, the responsibility to provide an environment healthy and conducive to efficient higher education, it is shirking an essential part of it. We, as humans, don’t like to change; but man hasn’t progressed or improved as a result of resistance to change. I urge you. President Ketter, to consider and to act on this problem. Mark Bernsley SUNYAB Class of 1975 Should we be deceived again? Missing the point To the Editor. To the Editor. It’s good to get feedback on a review you’ve written, whether it be positive or negative criticism. Concerning Mr. Dawson’s response, 1 didn’t realize that the Alvin Lee concert review would upset him so. I hope the experience wasn’t too traumatic. It seems, however, he entirely missed the point. Once pieced together, I feel the review quite accurately portrayed ■ what happened at Kleinhans that fateful night. Gentle Giant simply stole the show. Their performance was far superior to Alvin Lee’s attempt at emancipation. It seems Alvin Lee will always have a skeleton in his closet Ten ears After. It was TYA that paved his road to “rockdom.” And it’s his reputation from TYA that still provides to be his meal ticket. When I pay $6.50 for a concert ticket, I expect to have a good time and hopefully hear some favorites. Everyone has a right to expect a good time and hopefully hear some favorites. Everyone has a right to expect certain material to be performed but no one has the right to demand it. Alvin Lee, however, can’t dictate what the audience should get — into. Apparently Mr. Dawson read into the review, otherwise he wouldn’t get so defensive. I stated that Alvin Lee’s performance was pretty good. However, I couldn’t ignore the fact that many people left during his set and continuously disrupted it with a dull roar. Alvin Lee has finally got to do his rhythm ’n blues set which he’s been waiting for since ’69. By now he should have had it all together. Sue Wos The thought of Ron Ziegler appearing here at UB is most appalling. Here is a man who lived off the pocketbook of the American taxpayer to the tune of $42,500 a year, bit time and time again the hand that fed him, and managed to turn the salary of a public servant into wages of sin. That he is now unemployed is ironic, and he has my sincere sympathy. Though he might be a very interesting, engaging speaker (there is a chance, however remote, that we might be treated to a few truths about the Nixon White House), I find the idea of paying $2,500 in student monies to a man who so willingly deceived and misled the American people to be incredibly repulsive and repugnant. I wonder if the prestige that the Speakers’ Bureau anticipates by bringing us Ron Ziegler has obscured some very basic moral questions and I wonder if the people here are aware enough to care, or if the majority of students care only to the extent that it would be nice to tell Mom and Dad that they gee, isn’t that great? saw Ron Ziegler The students at Boston University were indignant enough to retract their offer to Mr. Ziegler, unless of course, he wanted to speak without fee, which, of course, he didn’t. I challenge the entire University community did we enjoy getting screwed by Ron Ziegler so much the first time that we are willing to come back for more and pay for the privilege? We were innocent once, and still we pay for that innocence. Need we pay more? Surely more admirable, - — and than knowledgeable people ex-Disneyland guide Ron Ziegler are available to speak of, and shed light on, the American political honorable process. I ask — would a woman invite her rapist out to dinner to find out how she was screwed? Should we? — Jeff Groob Attention Management majors To the Editor.

They have also discouraged theft by the operator, since managers can keep closer by Dene Dube Feature Editor five years from now, you’ll be zipping through the supermarket in two thirds the time it now takes. By that time, it is expected, more than half the supermarkets with annual sales of $2 million or more will have installed a computerized scanning device at each check out counter that will automatically ring up each item’s price, tax and even food stamp eligibility. You may have noticed the Universal Product Identification Code, (UPC), a series of bars, that have been appearing on about 75 percent of supermarket products since May 1973. By 1980, most products will bear the cofte, which activates the scanner’? central control unit to flash back the price and item description. Instead of the comparatively crude receipt now given with the purchase, customers will receive a printout listing each item, its price and the total bill. This will make it easier for the consumer to check the prices, and will greatly facilitate inventory tallying. In addition, a duplicate printout for the central control unti will Just tabs on money and can check-the printout every 15 minutes. Supermarkets will also save the cost of stamping new prices on food items, since daily price fluctuations will simply be entered into the computer. A&P expects to have a complete IBM system in many of its stores within the next few years, although they now use the forerunner an electronic cash register, which, when paired with the scanner and tied to the central processing unit resembles the new — system. The IBM Sabina 3660 will be able to control up to 24 systems and scanners in one store, and to handle 22,000 different items on the UPC code at once, according to IBM. It will also save customers who question their checks from going to the manager’s desk since the check can be put into a slot, automatically registered, and rechecked. Advertisers have also shown an interest in the inventory control, since an instant analysis of activate automatic reordering. grocery the Designed by computer and industry companies, the system will save retailers manpower. But it 'is unclear whether it will result in increased costs to the consumer who will, of course, pick up the cost of the equipment. It also poses energy problems, according to one IBM source, if their scanner is used at a 10-checkout counter store, seven days a week, 12 hours per day; it will consume 940 kilowat hours month. This includes the units, the checkout stands, the controllers, and a share of the central processing unit (IBM 370). Although the new devices use slightly more energy than mechanical cash registers, several local managers who plan to install them shortly claim that this extra cost of energy will be offset by the amount saved in labor. The system is expected to cost per least $100,000 at supermarket, but a market with per scanning weekly sales of $60,000 could recover the cost in three years, according Mckinsey to and Company, (IBM consultant). Will this cost be passed on to the consumer? That would be up to the individual supermarkets, according to the consultants. Local supermarkets maintain that there will be such a substantial cut in the cost of labor that. ho installation costs will be passed on to the consumer. In fact, some have even speculated that the operating costs might lower eventually lower food prices.

A strong second half performance, including a new wrinkle in the offense, enabled them to defeat the Akron Zips 62-56, at the Memorial Auditorium. The Bulls were held to 18 points in a first half that threatened to set the sport back twenty years. The tempo of the game was so slow that one observer was moved to equate the contest with watching someone die of cancer over a ten year period.' One Bull confided that he was bored even while pfaying. The first half shooting was atrocious for both teams, as the Bulls hit less than 25 percent of their shots At half time Buffalo Coach Leo Richardson decided that strategy was not the answer. “1 really didn’t have anything to say to them,” he said after the game. “We were playing pretty well but we just weren’t making our shots.” The solution was simple. Only two minutes after they left the floor the Bulls were back taking some extra shooting practice before the second half began. Practice didn’t make perfect, but the Bulls did manage to hit a vastly improved 14 of 22 shots in the second half. to sit on a lead. Previously, their inability to stay ahead had cost them several close games in the waning moments. Four comers Earlier in the week Richardson had instituted a four corner offense, a stalling technique designed to preserve a lead. “We had to find a way to hold onto the basketball,” said Richardson. In the middle of the second half Akron’s failure to do that very thing cost them the lead. Zip forward Dave Joyner hit two jumpers that put the visitors up by eight and Casimir Moss, Akron’s crew-cutted captain, tried to slow things down. However the Zips couldn’t stall and score at the same time and four quick baskets knotted the score at 42 all. Then reserve guard Larry Jones came off the bench and hit three big buckets. “I had to try something,” said Richardson, explaining the Jones experiment. “No one else was doing anything.” No one else but starting forward Jeff Baker. Baker had fouled out of four of the Bulls previous five games. With six minutes left, Jeff, obviously relieved at having no fouls to worry about, really went to town. He dominated the closing minutes, scoring and rebounding whenever it was needed. In all he collected 18 points (16 in the second half) and 9 rebounds. Grapplers Fall to a tough, strong power by Lynn Everard Spectrum Staff Writer The Buffalo Bulls wrestling squad ended their dual meet season with 2S-I2 defeat at the hands of Cleveland State, one of the nation’s toughest wrestling powers. Buffalo’s only ray of sunshine on a cloudy Cleveland day came from wins by the consistent Jim Young, Emad Faddoul, and Charlie Wright. The trio has compiled an amazing dual meet record of 49-2-2. Wright, who wrestled heavyweight all season, made his move down to 190 in preparation for the upcoming post-season tournaments. With the meet out of reach he didn’t have the pressure on him as he often does. Charlie looked comfortable at the lower weight as he pinned Cleveland’s John Kleban. After a scoreless first period, both wrestlers received back points in the second round and scored IS points between them. In the third, Wright used his counters and caught Kleban early for the pin. “I thought I’d be weaker,” said Wright. “He went over easier than I’d anticipated.” To the dismay of many Cleveland fans the Charlie Wright—Chuck Ehrhart match did not come off. They were hoping to see their giant heavyweight (6’9”, 380 lbs.) go against the diminutive Buffalo star, the fifth ranked heavyweight in the country. Man vs. Mountain Instead, the hopeless task of man vs. mountain was given to volunteer Ted Kucharski, who weighed in at half of Ehrhardt’s weight. “I grabbed his leg a few times but it was planted like the foundation of a building,” said Kucharski, a sophomore engineering major. “He engulfed me.” Ted was pinned in the second period. “I did’nt force anyone to wrestle Ehrhart,” said Coach Ed Michael, anticipating criticism that it is unsafe to let anyone wrestle Cleveland’s monster. Faddoul, now 16-1, pulled out a narrow victory over Cleveland’s Les Steidl at 177. In one of Emad’s poorer matches, he managed to win on a pair of back points from a third period cradle. “I felt bad all week and I just couldn’t get anything going. It was a bad match for me,” he said. Young defeated Frank Sorace at 134 for his 100th collegiate victory against five defeats. Jim felt as though the Vikings had scouted him well. “He (Sorace] closed me off from the outside and eliminated my snapdown.” A duckunder takedown insured the victory over an opponent he called his “strongest ever.” —Brlsson Hot (hooting guard Chris Barone has been leading the Women's basketball team in scoring all season, filling the scoring void left by injured star center Anne Trapper.

Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer The hockey Bulls lowered their record to 11-16-1 last Saturday as they were stymied by the Ithaca Bombers, 8-2. The Bulls arrived at Cornell University’s Lynah Rink (Ithaca’s home ice) late and were obviously disorganized in the opening period. “1 imagine it will take us a period to get wanned up,” Coach Ed Wright said. “I just hope we can keep it close.” For the first 17 minutes the Bulls did keep it close but a defensive lapse and a great individual effort by Bomber forward Chuck Joynt resulted in a 1-0 Ithaca advantage. The Bulls’ saktes became blunt, however, and Ithaca scored three times in the closing minutes of the opening stanza. As expected, the Bulls turned things around in the second period. For fifteen minutes, Buffalo peppered Ithaca goalie John Mouradian with shots while Buffalo goalie Don Maracle stood idle in his own net. But the Bulls only tallied twice, and when Ithaca dorward Robert Jackson scored his second of three goals, the Bulls were in a bind again. Why play? The Bulls would have been better off staying in the locker room for the third period. Maracle, who had been playing his best game of the year, was beaten badly twice and the Bulls had trouble controlling the puck in Ithaca ice.

Wright still had playoff hopes for the Bulls going into the game, but he said that the Bulls would have to win all three of their remaining games to be considered for post-season play.

Those whose pregnancy is too advanced are referred elsewhere, Ms. Buckham explained. The Center’s staff includes three doctors and seven social workers, and offers a relatively new, cheap method of abortion called menstrual extraction (ME), costing about $60. ME employs the same equipment as suction curettage, but uses a smaller suction tip to remove the contents of the utuerus. The clinic gegan offering ME in May 1973, and had only one patient a week. Because of increasing awareness about abortion methods, there are now five patients a week who undergo the operation. The survey, which was sponsored by the Albert Guttmacher Institute of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, was designed to measure the impact of that decision. The Supreme Court ruling did not greatly affect New York State since the New York legislature had passed a similar law in 1970. However, the Court’s depision did ease the crowding in New York’s medical facilities, by ordering all states to allow abortions. Buffalo’s only independent, licensed abortion clinic is Erie Gamble Medical Center. Even with the For a woman to use the Supreme Court ruling, it has procedure, she must obtain a experienced a decrease in demand negative pregnancy test and have for abortions since 1973. no detectable uterine Last year 3,986 abortions were enlargement. The operation must performed, 40 percent less than be performed early in pregnancy; the year before, according to no less than five or more than 14 Marilyn Buckham, Director of the days after the first menstrual Center. These figures do not period is missed. It is even include people the clinic has possible, that the woman may not counselled, however. have been pregnant it is a gamble she takes. The evidence of this New method The Center requires that technique’s success at Erie women be pregnant no more than Medical, according to Ms eleven weeks after the first day of Buckham, is that out of the 300 their last menstrual period. The to 400 patients who have clinic has seen about 1,000 undergone menstrual extraction. - only one became pregnant afterwards. Unfortunately, one drawback of the ME procedure is that it presently is not covered by medical insurance. The clinic’s other abortion procedure, suction curettage, takes four hours to perform. It is lower in time and cost than a hospital abortion because it requires a local anesthesia instead of a general one. The actual operation takes only three to six minutes depending upon the length of pregnancy. Post-abortion contraceptives Usually, the abortion procedure is explained beforehand, a social worker is present during the procedure, and the women are counselled about birth control methods before they leave the clinic. Erie Medical also requires a follow-up check up by the clinic itself or a licensed doctor. The clinic distributes contraceptives to its patients in the form of pills, diaphragms and loops, and will also soon be providing “copper sevens.” “Quite often women haven’t heard of contraceptives until our briefing," commented a spokeswoman from Erie Medical. “Many think the pill is the only method.” She noted the importance of a post -abort ion contraceptive service for lowering the future birth rate. Private doctors and hospitals in Buffalo carry the remainder of the abortion caseload. All of the major hospitals in Buffalo offer early abortions by D and C (dilation of the cervice and curettage) and late abortion by saline or rostin injections into the amniotic sac, or hysterectomy, which is major surgery. Of the Buffalo major hospitals General, Children’s Deaconess, Meyer Memorial and Millard only Deaconess has a Fillmore specialized abortion clinic. — — Less hospitalization The prostaglandin technique is the newest abortion innovation and can be used effectively after sixteen weeks of pregnancy. It employs prostins synthetically constructed but originally derived from the prostate gland, which stimulates uterine contraction. Prostins require less fluid to be injected into the amniotic sac than in a saline injected procedure, and less hospitalization (24—36 hours instead of 36—48) after saline-induced labor. Additionally, there is less chance of post-abortion sickness in patients because of the salt, and it requires less intravenous injections of medication to help induce labor. Children’s Hospital performs two prostaglandins a month, according to Mary Hurd, an obstetrical assistant. The use of abortion procedures involving prostaglandin suppositories —continued on page 4— Distinguishing between native, foreign minorities The University has never supplied information comparing the number of foreign-bom minorities with the number of American-born minorities included in Affirmative Action figures because until now “no one has ever asked,” according to Jim De Santis, Director of University Information Services. The Spectrum is seeking information that will distinguish between the number of foreign nationals and American minorities included in University minority hiring statistics released last week. Oswald assistant Rendon-Herrero, professor of Civil Engineering, charged last week that the statistics, which indicated a marked increase in minority faculty staff here, are misleading because group both American and foreign minorities under general headings and they born like “black” and “Spanish.” But Mr. DeSantis claims that if foreign nations were excluded from the existing pool of qualified black PhD’s, almost one-fifth of the existing pool would be lost. About 1.2 percent of the existing pool of qualified PhD’s are black. ‘Little attention’ Citizenship is one area that has practically been ignored in prior examinations of the Affirmative Action program, Mr. DeSantis said. President Robert Ketter reported Wednesday that the University had asked complicated by situations where certain employees may or may not declare themselves members of a minority group of where foreign nationals only provide a local address and fail to mention if they are citizens of another country. Dr. Ketter said. federal officials who oversee the Affirmative Action programs if minority members hired under the program should only be United States citizens, but that the federal officials had said no. Although Dr. Rendon-Herrero agreed that excluding foreign nationals from Affirmative Action recruitment efforts would decrease the pool of qualified minority candidates, and make recruitment efforts more difficult, he said, “That’s their excuse for not making the effort.” Dr. Rendon-Herrero felt that recruitment efforts which depend on availability lists cannot be successful, and that a more vigorous recruitment effort would be needed to place minorities in those departments where they continue to be underrepresented, despite recent hiring advances. Still behind Although minority hiring continues to lag in fields like Physics, Chemistry and Civil Engineering, he said that he personally knew of many qualified Puerto Rican PhD’s in these areas. That these qualified PhD’s are only a small group should not overshadow the fact that they do exist, he believes. “Give me a field, and I’ll find them [qualified minority PhD’s)for you,” Dr. Rendon-Herrero asserted. Dr. Ketter said that including foreign —Jensen Oswald Rendon-Herrero nationals in minority hiring figures “does not subvert the intention” of the Affirmative Action progra, and. that he knows of “no conscious effort to subvert Affirmative Action here. He explained that it was difficult to determine citizenship, and that he wasn’t sure if the University would be able to supply accurate data. The problem is No degrees Asked about those departments where minorities are still far behind in gaining adequate representation, Dr. Ketter replied that, in Civil Engineering, “they don’t have the degrees,” He added: “It would not be to anyone’s advantage to hire anyone who is not qualified.” Dr. Rendon-Herrero contends that minority students have difficulty in reaching PhD level qualifications partly because there is no financial aid available to them. He asserted last week that inordinate amounts of money are being spent to underwrite the cost of educating foreign students in graduate engineering programs, while there is little or no money available to American minorities. Dr. Ketter said that in the past four years the University has been refused “EOP-type money for graduate and professional schools.” “We feel it is valid, but we can’t get it,” he said. Dr. Ketter also said the University has “no special program for foreign nationals” either. �Attention candidates ,<tiI* Tlu l*»witolity of the good life for any ,u n on the possibility of realizing 11 .til mm.

Buckminster Fuller, in a speech at the School of Architecture and Design Tuesday evening, called for rechanneling the world’s energies towards human development with a priority on human living rather than human killing. In an age when speeches often concern themselves with the downfall and corruption of humanity, the 80-year old humanitarian criticized the pessimistic view of mankind. Even children are endoctrinated with the ideas that the environment will never be able to accommodate everyone and that society will soon collapse. Dr. Fuller said. “Socialists believe we are all going to die slowly and capitalists believe only the fittest are going to survive. They are all waiting for the downfall,” he claimed. On priorities Unfortunately, developed along this science and technology have line, said Dr. Fuller, citing as an example the priority given to engineering in the military and the “anti-priority” given to domestic needs. in both the navy and trade, he claimed, made him realize how the architecture world advanced to meet Dr, Fuller’s experiences building little civilians’ needs in comparison to the progress made in the Navy and Air Force. “In 1954, the Marine Corps developed ‘55 footers’ that could be flown through hurricanes, yet today we still have not devised that ideal home,” Dr. Fuller noted. He then shot a question at President Robert Ketter, who was sitting in the audience. “Dr. Ketter, you’re an engineer, how much does this building we’re sitting in weigh? “I have no idea,” replied Dr. Ketter. ‘ universe ’ To underscore the misuses of technology, Dr. Fuller related a personal experience he had with Dr. Albert Einstein. “I knew Dr. Einstein well. I wrote a publication one of the chapters I entitled 'E=Mrs. Murphey’s Horsepower.’ “Dr. Einstein laughed and responded, ‘Young man, 1 can never conceive of this theory as having practical application.' “You can .imagine how e felt when Hiroshima became the first practical application of his theory." Pausing for a moment, he added. “He went through terrible pain his last few years over that " More on the mind Dr. Fuller emphasized that in order to change the environment for the benefit of mankind, we must stop relying on bureaucracies and corporations, and depend on the human intellect. "There is no greater intellect operating in this universe than the human mind. 'he said. Dr. Fuller explained that a great deal of knowledge of the universe can he obtained front the ability of the human mind to. draw abstract relationships "The little individual often penniless is capable of so much." he said, and discredited "and can work within the natural design of the universe by developing available resources." Man can examine what human problems need immediate attention and develop tools to aid the environment, so by ldS5, he can enjoy a good life without the use of atomic energy. Dr. Fuller insisted. “We are all the fittest and we can all survive if we learn to employ the knowledge nature has given us to aid the environment and to aid mankind," he surmised.

It also tabled a proposal to stop funding home games scheduled during vacation. A representative of the Ad Hoc Committee for Mandatory Student Fee Reform addressed the Assembly, soliciting membership for his Committee, which Athletics (SFA). The Assembly approved the nomination of Dennis Delia as SARB Chairman and named Mark Giasante and Robert Cohen as the two Assembly representatives to SARB. Members of the SFA presented their “demands” to the Assembly.

If SFA did not get what it wanted, it people’s “ask for certain resignations” and “blow the lid” off alleged corruption, Mr. Young said.

The College plan had projected an enrollment of 850 students by 1980, with 200 new students entering next Fall. Many of its students are from minority groups. Shortly after the Regents originally vetoed the expansion, the SUNY, Board of Trustees publicly urged the Regents to reconsider their action. It is generally agreed that the Regents were bowing to pressures from Long Island private colleges which are being increasingly burdened with lessening enrollment, inflation and other financial problems. Cutting back after the Regents announced that they would allow the business program to begin, the Presidents of Old Westbury, Hofstra Univesrity, Adelphi University, C.W. Post College, New York Institute of Technology and Dowling College met with officials of the State Education Department and formulated a compromise proposal. Under the new plan, 170 students will be enrolled in the first year of Management programs instead of 200, as the College had projected. The compromise also calls for the programs to be evaluated after two years. The Board of Regents is also expected to give final approval after the State Immediately Education Department officially approves the compromise.

Criticism charging a general lack of concern has also been leveled against the Board of Regents. “The Regents have maintained a policy of neglect for low-cost, public higher education and this is another example,” asserted Ray Glass, legislative Director of the Student Association of the State University (SASU). “The whole issue of the lack of public input into the decision-making process and the inadequacy of public higher education facilities for Long Island taxpayers should be explored,” said Irwin Landes, Chairman of the State Assembly Higher Education Committee, Mr, Landes has called for public hearings on February 20 and 21 to examine the broader issues of higher education.

Freshman Ilene Cohn became the first State 1968 to place in University at Buffalo an intercollegiate Debate tournament last semester when she came in fifth in the “persuasive speaking” event in a tournament with Niagara University. This past weekend, Ms. Cohn brought two more trophies home, this time from Ithaca College. She placed third in the “extemporaneous,” fourth in the “persuasive,” and narrowly missed qualifying for final competition in the impromptu speaking event. the about especially happy am “I Ms. Cohn said. “I trophy,” speaking extemporaneous really felt I would do well in it.” In high school, Ms. Cohn placed fourth in New York State and seventh in the nation in this event, on a speech team that included Student Association (SA) President Frank Jackalone and Executive Vice President Scott Salimando. “Frank helped me a lot he’s an excellent speaker himself,” she said. — Rebuilding Ms. Cohn, who is Vice President of the Club, discussed the Debate University’s organization’s preparations for the tournament that will be held here on April 4th and 5th. “Invitations are being made out now, and will be sent very soon to schools all along the eastern seaboard. We expect a good number to accept and attend,” Ms. Cohn said. Included on the list of invited schools are Cornell. Penn State, and the University of Vermont. This University's Debate Club will not participate in the event, which is customary for the host school in a tournament. Team members will instead act as coordinators and timekeepers. During tire two Jays, junior varsity team debates and individual speaking events will be held, and buffet lunches will be provided for the participants, although the Debating Club isn’t able to offer them dorm space. Ms. Cohn explained. The two-day competition, the Janet Potter Memorial Tournament, is in honor of the late coach Ilene Cohn of the Debate Club, who died in 1968. “After her death,” Ms. Cohn said, “the team sort of fell apart. But we’re active now and we’re rebuilding. In the sixties Buffalo had a really strong team, and our goal is to work our way back up.” - She added that Mr. Jackalone has agreed to deliver a welcoming address to the participants and distribute trophies in the award presentation ceremony which closes the tournament.

Because they are classified as “passive” recreation “zoos go under Z, at the bottom of the priority list for municipal financing,” he said. Mr. Beyer expects to open a breeding farm in the future and plans to leave only some exhibits at the present facility. For now, he is busy breeding endangered Narkhor sheep and Gemsboks, But endangered animals present a problem, since they really should not be used in experimentation. Nels Werner 111, director of the Buffalo Zoological Gardens, does not favor some of the new ideas. “Mr. Caras’ ideas tend to be expensive,” he said, alluding to the technological renovations. But he was optimistic about Mr. Caras’ suggestions for municipal zoos, since his and other non-profit organizations were Spectrum Another solution would be to link the television cables, so visitors can enjoy the simultaneous benefit of various exhibits. Such attractions as which demonstrations, micro-sound amplify animan heartbeats or bird’s wings, zoos together through could also be utilized, Mr. Carras believes. These zoos would emphasize the animal’s natural habitat, and serve a parallel function to natural history museums and botanical gardens. City-owned zoos are at the greatest disadvantage, Mr. Caras said, because they become “mired in a morass of local bureaucracy.” With rising costs, additional is being spent for feed and money maintenance, and less for renovation. Conservation, education that the traditional recreational aspects recently asked to cut back finances. The zoo can be funded from four sources: city capital construction money, which is nearly exhausted; county capital money, although the county is against funding a city facility; a county wide revenue bond; or tax deductible private donations, which will probably be sought Mr. Werner depression, the Buffalo facility funding peaked thereafter. Mr. Werner recalled that during the zoos fared very well. The was built then. The zoo’s in the 1950’s and declined said that last year, the operating budget was $1,059,000, a figure which exceeded the original budget request by $24,000. More than $70,000 was spent about feed, $45,000 on on and maintenance. It is generally agreed that renovating a major exhibit would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Municipal zoos are generally more resistant to innovations, because of the lack of community support needed to finance them, Mr, Werner said. “Audio-visual aids are fine,” he added, of problem “but there is the overstimulation through that media . . . We need the personal contact.” All threy maintained that some zoos are in dire financial trouble. Meanwhile, the zoos can keep up with each other through a yearly regional conference, the American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums, an international yearbook, and non-scientific circulars. Classics Innovating learning program by Ilene Dube Feature h.ditor Classics lias never been an easy subject to learn in the classroom, especially in a tomb-like place like Foster Hall Thai is why Jonathon Ketchum teaches Greek and Latin classics to fifteen students on his (arm in Clarence.

A residential living learning students, to qualified all program open or Ketchum claims the Mr. undergraduate graduate. track record tor one student in his program is 7 years from his sophomore to his doctorate. Mr. Ketchum, a graduate student in philosophy, considers the concept of his residential college traditional.” “radically English programs evolved in the Ivy League colleges, with traditionally Latin and Greek as a background. The Oxford-Cambridge tradition was to rebuild the Roman Empire into the traditional English Empire, Mr. Ketchum explained. He said there is currently a revolution in twentieth century understanding of Latin and Greek classics. “We are first getting good texts within the last thirty to forty years,” Mr. Ketchum emphasized. Maxwell’s equation The student population, as a whole, has not been especially responsive to the study of classics. mammoth that, “Either or there is a communications problem,” Mr. Ketchum believes. “Talk to a student about Maxwell’s equation, and he probably would not want to talk about it, since he knows nothing about it.” The biggest problem in getting across the classic tradition today is that many believe it has been carefully inspected and rejected, Mr. Ketchum maintained. But he feels that the history of scholarship, while unexciting, brings up many issues people are interested in today. One pre-Socratic philosopher, Heraclitis, has been enormously influential in the last hundred years, Mr. Ketchum said, noting that “Lenin had said he could base his entire logic on this man.” Mr. Ketchum claims to have a new interpretation of Platonic philosophy, which he has Friday, been teaching for the past 16 years. Asked to describe it so that a layperson could understand, he said it combined the French structuralist, anthropologic, and comparative religion approaches. Political involvement Mr. Ketchum’s classical philosophy is more intimately concerned with politics and religion than traditional approaches, and differs from modern philosophy, which looks at the origins of natural science. Mr. Ketchum claims his interpretation has a more cognent sense of political and social order, and religious inspriation. The “campus” consists of an old farmhouse, which Mr. Ketchum rebuilt himself, and a library of 7000 books. It was formerly affiliated with College B, but is now independent and receives no University funding. Seminars meet once a week, usually on the Philosophy of Plato, and occasionally Hegel. The seminars are semi-formal, but disciplined, and are often carried over to the conversations at mealtime. Studying is informal, and usually consists of reading in the library. Combined assets Mr. Ketchum feels he has combined the resources of a large university with the atmosphere of a small college. “There are people, in various departments of the university, who would give their eye teeth to get this kind of private education in private schools,” he claims. While some students have stayed for only one semester, and others for as long as seven years, Mr. Ketchum claims it takes at least three years to come to a thorough understanding of Plato. Student response to the program has been small, the emphasis an innovation. “Isn’t it a shame that youth is wasted on the young,” he asked, quoting George Bernard Shaw. “So many students are competing in the pre-med department, yet most of them will fail.” Although Mr. Ketchum hopes to see more students “becoming liberated through the liberal arts,” he does not plan on lowering his standards to everyone who applies.

Spectrum Page five . �totiaI TRB No place to go Only seven years after the State University College at Old Westbury was founded to expand educational opportunities for the "culturally by-passed," the college is The Administration’s present stance is, if 1 grasp it, that the economy is in worse shape than anybody supposed but that we should do less about it than the Democrats suggest. This conflict appears to spring from a doctrinal contradiction around the White House. Theoretically, Administration spokesmen accept the need for temporary budget deficits and a tax cut, but in their hearts they want to balance the budget. Their skepticism shows all around the edges. Yes, cut taxes, they say, but not very much and in such a way that the rebate will encourage the more fortunate to go into the market and buy “big ticket” items, like cars; and the tax cut needn’t be so drastic that it can’t be modified by boosting the price of oil products across the board. That will add two percent to the cost of living the Administration admits (others say four percent), but so what? The country can bear the difference. Furthermore, let’s not let socialism get its foot in the door while we are stimulating the economy. Mr. Ford has a $17 billion package of spending cutbacks that the conservatives at Treasury and the Council of Economic Advisers must have rubbed their hands over. They are sacrifices for the less fortunate; federal pensions, Medicaid, payments for dental services, rodent centers, health neighborhood control. immunization, veneral disease control, food stamps, and other agencies that serve the poor and the elderly. Mr. Ford is not hard-hearted but these paternalistic Federal services threaten a mystical concept that he shares with his advisers of what the federal government should do and of how far it should do it The President is quite trank about this in his Budget and Economic messages. Yes. he says, “our present welfare system is inefficient and inequitable." and. yes. he says. “America needs to improve the way il pays for medical care.” Bur do something //me'. 1 Not at all: we must save money. And so the Ford paradox appears, boosting the deficit by cutting taxes on one hand and reducing it on the other by starving welfare. Wo treed a program, he explains, that “avoids a growing preponderance ot the public sector over the private." The line of demarcation between these sectors is quite clear, lie implies: "Spending by all levels of government now makes up a third of our national output." Mr. Ford says in his budget message. Anything above that is dangerous: "We must begin to limit the rate of growth of o'ur budgetary commitments in the domestic assistance area to sustainable levels." It should be frozen at one-third. Mr. Ford is surrounded by advisers who passionately believe this. Treasury Secretary who thinks the federal deficit Simon, “horrifying,” told David Broder that continuing on this path will “destroy the finest, most productive economy and the freest society mankind has ever created.” Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, thinks so too; you can see how awkward it is for reluctant conservatives like this to run a deficit rescue operation which they abhor and how confusing it becomes for them when the Democrats want to carry it further. being threatened by both state and private interests. When the college sought to widen the scope of its undergraduate programs to include business management last year, the State Board of Regents which is dominated by private — vetoed the idea because they felt it would existing curricula at surrounding private interests duplicate institutions Regents have now rescinded their veto, largely The because the SUNY Board of Trustees and other academic interests attacked them for being insensitive to thousands of students who would need to enroll in local colleges because of mounting economic pressures. While it is fortunate that the did not Regents succeed in their conscious discrimination against public institutions, and that fewer Long Island students will have to pay for more expensive out-of-town educations, the Trustees and State legislature should be aware of the dangers of making Old Westbury into just another ordinary state college Enrollment at the College has always been skewed toward blacks, chicanos, veterans and working people groups which have traditionally encountered the greatest obstacles to education. Its interdisciplinary programs are among the most innovative in the state, and were designed to meet the specific needs of culturally bypassed students. While it is important that as many people as possible be provided access education, opening up Old to higher Westbury to unlimited numbers of middle class whites at the expense of minorities could destroy its original mission learning offer opportunities culturally to deprived individuals. That is why the State Assembly, in hearings to begin next Thursday on the inadequacy of public higher education facilities for Long Island taxpayers, must realize that the issue is not simply one of public vs. private, but ensuring the survival of programs that are crucial to eliminating a long list of injustices that have been directed towards certain segments of society for decades. Students who cannot afford enroll in out-of-town institutions should certainly be given the opportunity to attend colleges and universities that are close to home, but not at the exclusion of those who to have never had any place to go.

Doctrinaires have yielded a lot of ground question then too, what to do “Balance budgets!” cried Bernard Baruch. “Stop spending money we haven’t got. Sacrifice for frugality and revenue. Cut government spending cut it as rations are cut in tax everybody for everything! a siege. Tax That was the advice Hoover got. And so on went Paul Block of the Block newspapers: “First in importance is the balancing of our budget.” Murray Nicholas Butler: “Governmental economy and balanced budgets.” Jerry Ford’s sharp-eyed economists are no fools; they know as well as anybody an apple from an orange or a linear extrapolation from a decelerating monetary aggregate. But their inner turmoil show up in the signals the White House sends out to the nation. Gone are the days of WIN buttons and a five percent added surtax. But uncertainly over the severity of the crisis persists. John Chancellor interviewed Mr. Ford on TV January 23. “The resiliency of the American economy is such that we are going to rebound from this recession,” the President said comfortingly, “and I think we will do it more quickly and in a belter way than most pessimists say.” Would seven percent unemployment continue and would it block him from running in 1976? he was asked. He didn’t expect it to last and he would run he said. Bui 11 days later came the Budget’s own forecasts that unemployment will hover around eight percent for the rest of this year, and the next. It makes Mr. Ford’s chances seem remote. We must admire the Administration’s candor, however, in putting the estimate out. This is certainly different from the early 30’s when the unfortunate Hoover not merely took an optimistic line but sometimes bent the facts to since 1929, There was a - - - sustain it. Some people think they see a pattern in the Administration’s reaction; it views the economy hopefully when discussing its own recovery plans, and fearfully when discussing the Democrats’. But no simple law governs anything here anymore. For instance, last week, Greenspan briefed reporters on the dangers of inflation in years to come; then he discounted the hopeful upsurge of the stock market, and finally he pleaded for a revival of public confidence. It is indeed a confusing city. Friday, 14 February 1975 reform To the Editor. I think every student at this hallowed University should be very proud at this moment of the student body. In a recent referendum which was held over a three-day period, a magnificent total of 3,652 people took part in a process which is a right and a privilege (and they say the youth of America don’t give a damn!). This referendum was important. It dealt with money and the right of taking it away from, or keeping it for, the individual. The important matter as 1 see it is not whether you were for the fee or against it, but just why in the world did only 3,652 people show what they wanted. by Page.six - - — vacant .

We shouldn’t be in this situation. But we must weigh risk against risk. How about that of crime and social turmoil when unemployed workers run out of food? UAW President Leonard Woocock brings 9,000 jobless workers here this weekend to remind Washington of what is going on, and he says the supplemental unemployment benefit funds, to which the employer contributes, will run out for the Chrysler unemployed in March, and for GM workers in May-June. (They will still get separate federal insurance.) But things are beginning to pinch, and millions of people have no insurance at all. Unemployment insurance is one of those costly federal intrusions into the free enterprise system that worry the administration so much, and that are now cumulatively softening the recession for millions of scared Americans. The U.S. almost alone among great nations has no family allowances, and no system of national health insurance. These systems would be expensive, too; but they would be built-in stabilizers right now against another Great Now the issue pf the fee has been decided this minority I hope that our government will look at the way it is handled. Now is the time for reform and maybe more or all students can be satisfied. The best reform method I see is the one expressed by Fran Edgerton in the “Guest Opinion” {The Spectrum, 2/3/75). At least now let your voice be heard. It is your MONEY!! I think the students of this School also appreciated the Nixonite method, of buying votes which occurred in Haas 2/5/75.

Delaney �UUAB concert Holland Oates flashy: Orleans a together group by Wills Bassen Music Editor to flow right into the next Although it is only natural that with their background seemed referring to is the Rundgren taint that kept popping up in from the little dance the flash the group exhibited routines to the Moog Used to simulate (very effectively) horns and strings to the heavy echo on the guitar leads. It was obvious that Hall and Oates were separate and distinct from the band backing them up (I later learned they had only been together for six shows). Maybe that's why the bass player had to keep jumping around like a gorilla maybe he didn’t know all the changes yet and wanted to cover up. It also seemed that Darryl Hall was the more talented of the two. Even through the awful PA, I could hear that he had an excellent voice and performing style (on the keyboards he played). While Oates's harmonies were very pleasing and tight with Hall's, his major function seemed to be that of human metronome for the rest of the band, keeping the beat by bouncing his guitar off his pelvis in perfect time, something he has obviously practiced. — Goddamn this cold (sniffle). Goddamn this cold weather. Maybe I caught it last Friday night, 'walking across the field to Clark Gym in that windy 10 degree snowstorm (—15 degrees with the windchill). I couldn't believe that people were actually standing in line in that weather. Not that I wasn't glad. It's just that all things especially considered, I didn't expect a large turnout since my preview had gone sans photos, and had probably had no impact at all. Clark Gym was about three-quarters full, and the emptiest I've ever seen it for a concert. It was nice, though, not to be squeezed into a 2-inch square for three hours. Hall and Oates was the first act, and I found myself in the unique position of having no preconceived value judgements about them, having never really heard anything by them (except "She's Gone," the one with the bullet). I can't tell you the name of the first song they did, but it was bright and brash. The levels were incredibly loud, with a lot of resultant feedback and distortion, but through it all, I could tell that there was sonething good underneath. Though I couldn't hear the vocals enough to understand a word of the lyrics, I could tell just by the chord changes, the arrangment and the sneaky smiles on the band's faces that it was some kind of tongue-in-cheek story. As a matter of fact, that was the feeling I got from everything they did. Blonde Hall and dark, curly-haired Oates were wearing all-black and all-white vinyl outfits (respectively), and I'm sure that their resemblemce to the two Scotties on the Black and White Whiskey label was not toally unintentional. — Rundgren residua But not to ramble on. Perhaps what I'm really in club dates the band draws from all sorts of music for their material (jazz, rock, boogie, folk), the key to their uniqueness is firmly planted in the reggae beat. They slip it in behind other rhythms so subtly that you don't even notice it, but it's in 40 percent of their songs, and it's part of what makes songs like "It All Comes Back Again," "Please Be There" and "If" so bouncy and enjoyable. While Hall and Oates relied on visual techniques to keep the crowd's attention, Orleans’ muscial diversification did the trick for them. For instance, one of the most enjoyable points of the set was when Wells Kelly (drummer) and John Hall (lead guiatrist) switched instruments for a few songs. On one of the songs "I'm a — Good material No, but seriously, folks, the material itself was quite good. Slick, imaginative, and diversified. They would do with a mandolin and (like "Lady Rain”) one song and would think "ah, I can pretty, melodic harmonies, I see where they're coming from. Seals and Crofts crossed with the Kinks!" Then they would do a real slick, up-tempo, "city" sounding compositon. "Ah, Sophistocate city. Maybe it's Todd's influence." Then another one "oh, yea, mid-sixities English rock and roll." What made the whole act so pleasant in the final anaylsis was the group's attitude not that they were goofing off (because actually, the band itself was not as bad as the PA, the mix, the acoustics and the lack of practice that handicapped them). But they didn't take themselves too seriously, either, so they brought everything off with a sort of musical pose (except for the aforementioned bassist, who must have gone to too many Grand Funk concerts). Anyway, I'm a convert that is, I — Bum" (bum bum a bop de doobie showie). Wells sang the lead votal and performed an outrageous finger-picked and plucked solo on Hall's Fender. On the other one, Hall fully lived up to his statement that he "loves this song because I get to beat the hell out of the toms." There was also an excellent (would ya believe) double kazoo solo on a ragtime number. And lest they remain unmentioned, brothers Lance and Larry Hoppen did their share, Larry jumping back and forth from keyboards to rhythm and lead guitar, and Lance keeping a steady, — — — proficient bass line. — — — bought War Babies, their latest, and do you know when the last time I bought a Subtly exciting To my way of thinking, Orleans is the kind of group their prowess shows through that excites in the best way not in individual flashy riffs or cute routines, but; in producing music in which all parts are excellent, intertwined and inseparable. The tight kicks and harmonies, the feeling that they're all in the same musical things like these make them a place at the same time group in the true sense of the word. Well, the crowd must have thought Orleans was pretty good after all, because it got them back for two encores. They must have known the crowd thought they were pretty good, because they saved their hit via Janis Joplin ("Half Moon") for the second encore. In a way, I wished they hadn't come back to do it, because to announce it. Hall said, "I wrote this song four years ago and it's record was? — Second gear However pleasant Hall and Oates were, there is inevitably a reason why one group headlines over another, and it was immediately apparent when they came out why Orleans came on last. First, in contrast to the flashy Philly fellas, these guys were dressed very quietly, and you got the feeling that they were stripped down and ready for action (remember Duane and his T-shirts?). No muss, nc fuss, no announcements, they were just suddenly on stage and playing. They started with an up tempo but mellow number must be on their forthcoming (second) album The crowd must have still been hopped up from Hall and Oates' slam-bang finale ("Is It A Star Or Is It Me?"), because they were extremely called "Hit Me With Music," which haunted us ever since." To put it another way, I had a dream last Friday night that I was a guest in John Hall's house. I opened the cupboard and there was a picture of Janis pasted to the inside wall. We went into the bedroom, and there it was above the bed. I loooked at him with the unspoken question. He looked back at me, shook his head, and smiled sadly. unattentive. I was so glad to be able to hear all the instruments and vocals at a satisfactory decibel level that I didn’t much care about the rest of the crowd Orleans' members aie veteran performers, and the timing of their set was very subtle. Although they started on a mellow note, as the set progressed, the songs just got the crowd shut up. better and heavier, more exciting The band did just about every song on their album, as well as most of what will be on their new one, and each song — —Ratlneti f V???J V'JEC.Cli'f i‘ ’ , ii fi 1 } r.| *Jjf f *£ !S£6 J �Warhol's 'Drac where the Catholic Church's influence supposedly by Bill Maraschiello Spectrum Staff Writer Andy Warhol's Dracula has little to do with either Andy Warhol or Dracula.

The FrontPage is not a film for people who nostalgically yearn for something old. It isn't genuine 1920's, and it isn’t genuine nostalgia. Those people Magic Lantern who frequent the films that were actually made during the like The Front Page twenties, or the later films some of which deal with tabloid-style newspaper journalism, those people might geniunely desire a rich sense of times past. Many of those old films are trite, but at least the nostalgia’s real. A film like the 1940's version of The Front Page (called His Gal Friday ) might draw an audience that was truly nostalgic (for the 40's) and that would be fine since the feeling would be sincere and especially because it happens that His Girl Friday is such a funny, spunky, enchanting film. The newspaper office in that 40's film really seemed attractive and wacky. In the current movie, it just seems tacky. — — - — Stop the presses It's not that a filmmaker today can't capture a convincing sense of the past it's done all the time. But it isn't done in The Front Page, just as it wasn't done in The Great Gatsby film. The new Front Page is as bogus and forced as Scott Joplin's piano rags sounded when The Sting orchestrated them. I rather doubt whether any film adapted from a 1920's script will seem anything like the 1920's. The Front Page is a film for people (and there are a lot of them) who like ersatz nostalgia. It's an imprecise, lifeless, an ad-agent's conception negligable, screeching, jaded, glossy gyp of a movie. It stars Malter Matthau (imprecise).

Morrissey's Frankenstein, on the other hand, was constructed with ridicule as a primary focus; to do this, he was,forced to intentionally ignore the meanings of the myth and concentrate on its most easily parodied mechanics. Since he is dealing only with selected aspects of form and totally ignoring confent, he isn't really coming to grips with his subject at all. Since he assumes that everything is shit, Morrissey's main consideration in choosing a subject is its topicality; he trusts in the jaded, sophomoric cynicism of his audience. If this malaise wasn't presumed, he would be unable to succeed as Hanging Judge in his aesthetic kangaroo court. Debunk The myth of the vampire draws on a source of great power: the Christian concept of blood as life. The vampire's powers and weaknesses, with which we're all familiar, hold a supernatural fascination. Of all representations of evil as a tangible force, it has perhaps the most strength and impact. Morrissey's Dracula, played by Udo Kier in a sort of lavendar Peter Lorre mode, is capable of striding through the broadest daylight, eating vegetarian meals, and removing a crucifix from the wall of his overnight lodgings. He's merely a psychological deviant, a psychosomatic blood junkie who undergoes withdrawal when deprived for too long of the blood or virgin girls. He's no more mystical than Richard Speck. Being a count, his habit is obviously a manifestation of bourgeois decadence, saith Morrissey. (Flip that political coin and you get George Lincoln Rockwell.) Searching for new blood, the Count leaves Rumania (in a Rolls-Royce) and travels to Italy, [R] 6:30 - 9:00 Buck & a to defeat themselves. The raunch is there. The issue I raise is not the legitimacy of bloodletting per se, but its purpose here overload to the point of satiation — and anesthesia.

Hie Spectrum Friday, . 14 February .1975 Prodigal Sun �Studio Arena Stunning set designs in 'IS' by Jay Boyar Arts Editor In general, a set designer's talents are overlooked unless he does something wild and experimental otherwise, the whole subject of "set designing" seems . . . well, terribly dull. Set designer Michael Sharp has not done anything particularly wild for Studio Arena Theatre's (SAT) production of 13 Rue de L 'Amour-, still, the set he's fashioned is subtly and imaginatively exciting. Perhaps his most striking virtue is that his set shows that he actually and, since understands what the play is all about he's one of the very few people connected with the project who does, this is no small point. 13 Rue de L 'Amour by Georges Feydeau is a Molieresque French farce. It's a comic contraption built to move its stock characters a mechanism deliberately from point "A" to point "B" and to snatch as many laughs as possible along the way. — — — Actors in Studio Arena Theatre's 13 Rue de L'Amour: (left to right) Patricia Weber, Tom Mardirosian, Donald Moffat, Philip Minor, Gwen Arnor. — A Doll's House With precision, the traps are laid and the laughs are caught in them. The relationship of a farce like this one to a more "organic" play is like the relationship of Moog Synthesizer music to the sound of a full orchestra. In fact, Moog mood music is actually used in SAT's production of 13. The music may be a bit much, but Sharp's set is tricky and ingenious; it looks artificial (in the good sense). Between acts one and two, the set is to reconstructed as if it were a giant toy indicate a scene shift. The kind of fun you feel when you play "Cat’s Cradle" is the kind if fun in the set Sharp build, and that's the kind of play Feydeau wrote. That scene-shift got a hand from the audience the night I saw the play, and it was the most spontaneous, sincere hand of the evening Sharp's set (like Feydeau's play) is more than just gimmickry. Orange and purple colors are used to give a feeling of the bizarre and, at the same time, of warmth. There is something personal and human at the source of the set, you feel; something lustful and passionate. You especially feel this in the second act when the warm autumn moonlight (lighting by Robert Monk) oozes through the bedroom window. I first noticed Sharp's ingenuity last year at Studio Arena's production of Moliere's The Miser. Sharp's set m that case made a drawing room look like a huge bank vault to reflect the miser's view of the world. Also in The Miser was Alvah Stanley, who returns in 13 in a small role (the Inspector of Police). There was no way of guessing from the gawky performance he gave in last year's play what a really funny, intelligent performance he would give in 13. He knows he’s in a formula play, and he lets you in on the joke with his expressive, extremely theatrical voice. We know beforehand practically every line he's going to speak. He knows that we know and, without ever addressing us directly, he makes us aware of the Irony in his words. — — Baited breath In a contraption like 13, the real test of the production is in the handling of the early scenes. Near the end, all the play's traps are being sprung and the thing's bound to be funny simply because of its structure no matter who is acting and directing. It’s during those early scenes when the traps are being set that the actors must themselves be interesting: they can't rely on the material because, at that point, it isn't functioning yet. The principle actors, especially, must interest us — — Moricet (Donald Moffat) attempt* to seduce Leontine (Gwen Arner) in a scene from 13 Rue de L'Amour. Thinking of running for S.R.? r in the charaters and they must do this by two apparently contradictory methods (which are not unlike those used in the set's design): a) the actors should indirectly establish a rapport with the audience alerting us to the artificiality of the play, and b) they should bring a sense of humanity, of personally interesting energy to the roles they create. Donald Moffat, the show's star (he also starred a in The Miser) fails utterly. To the role of Moricet man whose passion moves him to seduce a friend's he brings no true passion. And instead of wife witty artificiality, we get mugging from him. He's just a clown and farce is very different from — — clowning Little miss, Moffat Feydeau's play is highly Another point dependent on detail. It's the type of play where a man's suit-size saves his reputation. Moffat is blind to detail. In the first act, the plot calls for him to leave the room, absent-mindedly taking his walking stick with him instead of an umbrella. Moffat does this, but when he returns a moment later, he has no walking stick and he isn't even wet from the rain. In fact, the only irregularity in his.clothing concerns his pant-cuffs which are caught on the backs of his shoes. (This would have been witty in the last act when pants are important to the plot, but since Moffat's cuffs are in disarray from the start, it's just sloppiness.) This sounds like nit-picking, I know, but detail is crucial to Feydeau's plot structure . . . but not, it seems, to Moffat. — As Leontine the woman Moricet attempts to Gwen Arner (she, too, was in The Miser) is seduce as big a flop as Moffat in establishing a rapport with the audience. She tries very hard (as if she were exaggerating a point for pedagogical purposes instead of for dramatic ones). She's hokey, hammy. Still, occasionally when someone else is speaking, her eyes melt, she smiles, and she seems frish and real. — — Bang Leontine's husband is Playing Duchotel Philip Minor. He does establish his ironic rapport with the audience; a bit of business he subtly injects, — — a shotgun as a surrogate penis, is effectrva. And in those opening scenes, he is both engaging'and The only problem with his soundly artificial performance is that it isn't quite enough. It goes a little flat. Jessica James as Madame Spritzer (a concierge) is like that too. Funny, engaging, but flat. And she hasn't worked out her accent well enough using to suit me Tom Mardirosian, a Buffalo-area actor whose work is always impeccably intricate, has a small role (Birabeau) 13. Mardirosian is the big in disappointment of the evening (Moffat would have been, had his past work led me to expect anything from him), Mardirosian plays his part as if it were a major comic role in an otherwise serious play instead of as what it is: a minor role in a farce. I didn't see him as Falstaff in Henry IV, Part One, but it seems like that's the type of role with which he'd be most comfortable.

Though the book has long been off the best seller list and is no longer being produced in the theater. Pocket Books has recently brought it back to life with the first paperback publication of this story. As the title suggests, the play deals with the court-martial trial that followed the mutiny in the original story. Those familiar with the novel o.r movie may realize that this excludes a very large and important part of the plot: all of the events that occurred on board the ship before the mutiny. Attempting to fill this deficit, Herman Wouk reveals some of the more important incidents through the characters' dialogue. Whether this gives the reader adequate insight into past events is questionable, however. The original plot (and background for this trial) around the U.S.S. Caine, a destroyer operating in the Pacific in World War II. The crew discovers that its new commander, Captain Philip Francis Queeg, is emotionally unstable and becomes panicky under conditions of stress. A number of increasingly serious incidents occur, convincing the crew that Queeg is unfit for command. When the revolves ship is caught in the center of a typhoon, Queeg finally breaks down completely and nearly causes the ship to capsize. At this point he is relieved of command by the executive officer, Lt. Stephen Maryk. Coffeehouse Harmonic sounds and traditional folk A "Pleasant and Delightful" evening awaits you tonight and Saturday, when the UUAB Coffeehouse presents the ballads, broadsides and shanteys of Louis and Sally Killen, and the hamonica wizardry of Saul Broudy in Norton Hall's first floor cafeteria, beginning at 9 p.m. Lou Killen is a native of Britain, born in England of Irish parents. ONe of the leaders of the British folk revival of the Sixties, he has been hailed by folk music authorities as one of the best performers of British traditional music today ("a superb performer with an extraordinary repertoire," in the words of the New York The play begins at the court-martial of Lt. Maryk, who is accused of mutiny. Though Maryk is nervous about the trial, Queeg enters the courtroom calm, rested, and apparently in full possession of his in short, the epitome of the perfect naval faculties — officer. Various psychiatric and ship handling experts are called by the prosecution to testify that Queeg was completely sane and correct in his actions at the time of the mutiny. Although a clever struggle is put up by the defense attorney, little progress toward acquittal or conviction is made by either side. It is not until Queeg takes the stand as a witness for the defense that the turning point of the trial occurs. Here. Queeg is again placed in a stress-laden situation by the defense attorney's brilliant attack. Versatility In addition to his solo career, Lou is also a member of the Clancy Brothers, with whom he has recorded one album for Vanguard. He also has a record of his own on the ESP-Disk label. Also on the bill is Saul Brody, harmonicer extrordinaire. Saul's played harp for a whole mess of musical folks, as diverse as travel' lady Rosalie Sorrels and Loudon Wainwright III, folk's resident misanthope. He can handle anything from a Sonny Terry tune to a subtle, flutelike counterpoint with brilliance and ease. He has been known, on occasion, to pick up a guitar and render something on the order of the Fleetwood's "Mr. Blue" ("Wah-ooo, wah-ooo" remember?). Mr. Brody is a frequent visitor to Buffalo and the UUAB Coffeehouse, and, as Groucho Marx said to Margaret Dumont, "I've never heard any complaints yet."

Joining Lou on stage will be his wife Sally, an American who nevertheless shares Lou's love of and familiarity with British music. and his pitifully paranoid reaction is the deciding factor in the outcome of the trial. Throughout the trial, references are made to events that had occurred on board the ship and had great bearing on the courtroom proceedings. The brief descriptions of these events are quite inadequate for one to grasp their full significance, and many readers might therefore find the play lacking and unfulfilling. It is never even made clear whether or not Maryk was really guilty. To get the most out of the play, some prior knowledge of the story is a must.

Another side Buff 'fate Ms. Giovanni's recent poetry presents a view of life far more optimistic than her political statements. Many of the poems she read concerned the subject of love in general or the people and things she loves in particular; most were very introspective and personal, a far cry from the militant tone which pervaded much of her earlier work. "At some point or other you either change or you lie," she explained when someone questioned this apparent about-face, "or you have got to die Poet Nikki Giovanni's views extend into politicalphilosophy "How's that for soul power?" the teacher of Afro-American literature asked the huge audience applauding the All-College Gospel Choir in Buffalo State College's Union Social Hall February 4. She then introduece a different sort of "soul power," the power behind the "movement against concrete wickedness," one of the most talented and lucid spokespeople for which is Nikki Giovanni. Often called the "princess of black poetry," Ms. Giovanni addressed a capacity crowd whose questions about her political and literary philosophies, pleas for more readings of favorite poems, and requests for autographs kept her near the podium for more than an hour after the first standing ovation. Although her initial description of Buffalo as a "charming city" ("But it is, it really is!" she insisted) brought groans and laughter from many listeners, most of the impromptu remarks which preceded Ms. Giovanni's poetry reading elicited more enthusiastic responses. Her assertions that caring more about each other "could change your lives" and that "the future is what we're all about . . . the present is nowhere" perhaps best expressed Ms. Giovanni's mood. But of all the poet's opinions on the huge variety of subjects, the closing line from her "encore," a piece dedicated to Lena Horne entitled "Poem for a Lady's Voice I Like," seems most like Nikke Giovanni's personal motto: "Show me someone not full of herself, and I'll show you an empty person." going to have to make it impossible for them to turn you down . . . you've got to think about your life, "You're because nobody else is thinking about you," she instructed black students at the College, who seem to be fighting a losing battle over acceptance of their Black Student Union —Randy Schnur Contemporary dance Buff State Student Union Board at the Studio Arena The Bottom of the Bucket, But. . .

Friday, 14 February 1975 Prodigal Sun �RECORDS Yes, Relayer Gallery events (Ateo) After several months of waiting amid rumors of an imminent Relayer. It is the first break-up, Yes has come out with a new album Yes album without keyboardist supreme Rick Wakeman since the group became well-known. It was Wakeman's membership in the group that influenced its transition from rock to improvisation and experimentation. Not that the changes were all Wakeman's idea, but his presence and skills made some of the ideas of Anderson and Howe — possible. His replacement is Patrick Moraz, who at one time replaced Keith Emerson in The Nice. I'm not trying to say that one is better than the was other, but simply different. The sound of Yes is not the same as it with Wakeman The basic sound has not changed. However, let me say that Yes is evolving. Steve Howe, one of the finest and most versatile guitarists around today, is still the mainstay of the group's music. Although the entire group is credited with writing the music on Relayer, I tend to think it was written by Jon Anderson (vocals) and Howe, as most previous works were. To best define Relayer, let me say that it is less classical than Yes' previous works and might relfect a "jazz-type" influence and the predominantly rock background of Patrick Moraz. Side one is, in a sense, a typical Yes excursion into the concerto style with its own movements. "The Gates of Delirium" runs 21 minutes and 55 seconds. It could turn out to be an updated version of "Close to the Edge." The song starts with an instrumental trade off between Howe on guitar and Moraz on keyboards. (For reference purposes, please forgive me if I don't differentiate between mellotron, synthesizer, organ, or whatever other instruments are employed by Moraz.) The song gradually builds to include all the members: first Chris Squire on bass, then Anderson playing acoustic guitar (for the first time as far as I know) and Alan White on drums and percussion. The vocal harmonies between Anderson (singing lead), Howe and Squire are very nice and in general start out more melodically than usual. Chris Squire's bass sets the pattern for the next part of the work, and it is gradually joined by the others until Steve Howe explodes with his pyrotechnics on the "ax" to be joined in harmony by Moraz. Following this, Alan White takes over with his drums, changing the tempo for Howe and Moraz. The theme behind "Gates" is as vague as most other works by Yes, and like the others, this too will mean different things to different people. "Gates" is about war, turmoil, and disorder in life, and the search for unification of being. . Wars that shout in screams of anguish ", power spent passion bespoiis our soul receiver surely we know . in glory we rise to offer create our freedom a word we utter a word It is also the tale of hope and resolution to the suffering ". . . soon oh soon the light pass within and so this endless night and wait here for you our reason to be here ..." Anderson's vocal abilities shine here, the piece again returns to the responsive playing between keyboards and guitar, and evolves to a somewhat typically classical Ves ending. Side two starts with a song that is different from anything Yes has done recently, called "Sound Chaser.” There is more percussion influence in this piece than anything since "Five Percent For Nothing on the Fragile album. Granted, they did play around with sounds that could be described as percussion on the Topographic Oceans album, but this piece was done specifically for percussion, similar to Bill Bruford's work (their former drummer). In the middle of Sound Chaser," there is a strange play with echo chambers and running voices through synthesizers that creates a completely unique experience when heard through a good set of headphones. Steve Howe s guitar work here is incredibly fast, faster and cleaner than I can remember anyone else playing (even Alvin Lee on "Going Home"). The album closes with a really fine, mellow number called To Be do not suffer Over." It is about two people in love, yet afraid: always doors to lock away plays/ that: through the game of chance your dreams/ think it over/ time will heal your fear/ think it over . . . "To Be Over" is a very melodic, peaceful work, something to sit back fellow and relax to. It is far more mellow than the frantic pace of its "Sound Chaser," and even the "Gates of Delirium. All in all, really liked Relayer, although it is somewhat different from the group's previous excursions into the world of sound. Each Yes album has differed from the rest, and each has to be taken on its own merits. The group is also deeply into Eastern religion, and this has bored some people while turning others off entirely. Yes is an ever-changing experience, and one can only listen to them and take —Steven Milligram from them just what they are giving. ..." 1285 Upcoming events at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Elmwood Ave., include: Saturday, February, 15: Nancy Miller lecturing on "Early Expressionists" and Charlotte B.

Leo Bates Use of color implies depth are an inherent part of life and the most seemingly evident situation often comes to reveal underlying complexities and contradictions. This aspect is mirrored in the exhibit Leo Bates: Drawings and Paintings at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery until March 2. At once simple and complex, flat and spatially deep, geometric and organic, these works offer a rich journey into the intricate properties and effects the Contrasts and paradoxes pictorial plane holds. a With the use of triangular modules, symmetrical whole at first asserts itself, but upon their interaction, with one module interlocking with another, new structures manifest themselves within the totality. Colors aid in producing these making one line interdependent networks by the eye registering the dominate another, of the paintings, a vacant edge surrounds the But even here the network is not completed at the edges making rectangular sides; instead, lines seeming to have been once part of a triangular unit jut out. It is as if this grid network was wrenched out from another larger grid complex and isolated from it. With either use of the edge the interplay and contradictions between part and whole are asserted. Bates transcends mere optical games in these works by the organic, living atmosphere that all structure. accentuated structure. Strokes of dark red over lavendar, lavendar over sienna brown, or peach over baby blue form interior three dimensional cubes. Dialogue in depth This creates a dialogue between the flat two dimensional grid structure that the triangular modules form and the three dimensional cubes receding into space, resulting irj a spatial tension between the flatness of the whole network and the depth of the inner structures. A similar spatial contradiction asserts itself in the interaction between the flatness of the individual triangles and the depth of the cube systems they form. Such an interplay between these two basic geometrical units produces alternations between part and whole creating a rich world of patterns and paradoxes. Unlike many artists, Bates does not ignore the expressive possibilities of the edges of a picture. In fact, the edges enrich the complex and ambiguous nature of the works. In many of his pastel drawings, the grid stucture appears to continue indefinitely beyond the picture plane, for he draws his modular structures right to the edge, whereas in others, and in permeates the geometrical structures. This is due to the choice of lyrical colors some harsh, others soft pastels and to the nuances of tone, weight and — - width that the drawing and painting techniques give to the lines. The lines are not perfectly straight nor is the strength of color constant, and it is this which gives it a very human and organic quality. One seems to be viewing the inner network of an organism that gives it order, unity and life. For in every structure there is a basic unit, much like Bates' triangle, from which the whole is built and dependent upon. It is this concept that gives a timeless meaning and quality to Bates' work and marks him as an important artist. Deceivingly simple, these drawings and paintings hold treasures and only those who stop and observe will discover and enjoy —Janice Simon the intricate complexities within. ...

Crouse Ave. University Hill BUFFALO Prodigal Sun �More hoop time To the Editor I would like to discuss a problem which has become a major one. On the Main Street and Amherst campuses, the recreational facilities are not always available to the student. On some occasions, I have called up the Clark Hall recreational office, to find out if the main or the small gyms are available for basketball. Sometimes, I’m told the gym is open, but this is not always the case. On several occasions, I have arrived at the gym to find it occupied by either the girl’s varsity basketball team, or filled by the men’s intramurals (basketball). 1 would like to suggest some additional hours for basketball in the afternoon or in the evening. Another problem is the lack of security past the main desk in Clark Hall. On some evenings the I.D.’s are checked, and on other nights there is no checking. 1 suggest that there should be ID. checking every night, once you arrive in the main or small basketball gyms. 1 hope my letter will shed some light on an important issue on both campuses.

Ostensibly, Mr. Engel tried to show how both can and should be accepted. His success in doing so is gig “Then how were you going to help John Q. Scumbag.” “That’s Douchebag.” “I’m sorry. All polish names sound alike to me,” “Old Johnny boy has got the means but not the ways.” “I don’t get your drift.” “It’s simple if you’ve got half a mind, meathead.

Mr. Engel’s particular model is used to justify the conclusion that these girls cheer “simply because they’re having fun.” Tell me, Mr. Engel, if you would subject yourself to, as you phrase it, “screaming inane cheers,” much less in a skirt which barely covers your navel? Do you think that cheerleaders themselves consider what they do inane? Funny how in the next sentence you* somehow relate cheerleading to “acting like a kid.” Of course, that would agree with the notion of girls because they’re having so much who cheer gosh darned fun. Mr. Engel fails to discuss a second, albeit less romantic, view of cheerleading as one which keeps the macho machinery well-oiled at both ends so as to extend the athlete-cheerleader relationship past the Finally, final buzzer. if cheerleading is so therapeutic, why reserve it solely for girls?

Carter Panill, Vice President for Health Sciences says he will not consider cutting nursing faculty until March or April when the new state budget officially becomes law. In his 1975—1976 budget request, Governor Carey recommended that the State University at Buffalo lay off eight faculty from the School of Nursing. If the state legislature approves the budget recommendation the School will not delete the eight positions by firing the nurses who were most recently hired, but will fire those who can most reasonably be eliminated. Dr. Panill explained. To comply with the budget, the School relies on attrition and would rather fire part-time nurses who have other means of support, such as positions in hospitals. Dr. Panill suggested that the cuts could affect incoming nursing students anyway. “It might have a definite impact on the size of the incoming class,” he said. Presently, the state budgets for about 56 faculty and 600 nursing students. Jeanette R. Spero, acting Dean of the School of Nrusing, said that while most of these are faculty lines, some are administrative positions for those unable to devote full time to teaching. — food prices, world food shortages, and the dangerous effects of the overly processed and refined American diet on out health.

DEAR TERRIBLE Tom Terrific, the whole school knows I like you now! Calling attention to wasteful use of our food resources - GEG, MY little (tumble, happiness Is . . being with you! Love always, SMS. . — World Food Day: April 17 How many times have you heard that diet contributes to half of all deaths in the United States, or that the American meat-based diet deprives the world of 18 million tons of cereal protein, an amount nearly equivalent to the world’s protein deficiency? To call attention to this fact, April 17, 1975 has been designated World Food Day. A number of cities in the United States are planning teach-ins and other special activities to focus attention on three areas: the world food crisis, problems of nutrition in America, and international food aid programs. Organized by the non-profit Center for Science in the Public Interest, World Food Day may be an indication that the American public is less willing to participate in the wasteful use of food resources by the Federal government, corporate America, and individuals. The center a sub-group of Ralph Nader’s Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) believes that the federal government, if allowed to pursue its past policies, will not develop a responsible food program. It cites such evidence as the increase in VALENTINE MESSAGES OF LOVE DEAR CHARLIE Brown. Valentine's Day sweetie. Love Snoopy. Happy always HERCULES! WHISKERS and lovely cars make every day special.

Sharom — up this I Day. �GIF statement by Bruce Engel was my day for ego tripping, Everybody needs that every now and then, and I’m pretty glad I got mine out of my system. Of course, now it’s back to work, and that ;’s cool. I gotta get this out of my system too. Actually the trip started Tuesday night, when my usually 'efficient grapevine was at its rumoring best. A call from a friend, who had heard from a friend, informed me that a meeting of the varsity athletes had resulted, among other things, in there getting together and asking for my resignation. Now I’ve been tempted to quit this fool job several times. Some insane pride or glory or something keeps bringing me back to this business to crank out yet another story, just as I’m doing now three hours past what was supposed to be the deadline. The news enraged me a little at first. What right have they to do thaf3 asked myself. Then it amused me, for I know why they did it. Basically, 1 don’t meet their need for PR, which is not my job anyway. Besides, that wouldn’t get them anywhere. But it’s a real trip to think someone felt I was Wednesday important enough, powerful enough to warrant this kind of attention. Only big people get asked to resign by special interest groups such as this one. (I didn’t know then that it had an official title, Students for the Future of Athletics, and as dynamic a leadership as honorable mention all-American wrestler Jim Young.) In a morbid sense, their stance was positive proof that I had made it. Unfortunately, it was also proof positive that they were way off base. 1 wish I was as important as they made me out to be. I wish 1 had all the power that they accuse me of wielding irresponsibly If 1 did, I’d probably use it to help them, which could best be accomplished by changing some Rock of Gibraltar attitudes in the athletic administration But anyway, I haven’t got that kind of influence. I never did, I never will and I suppose it’s just as well. All day Wednesday I tripped, anticipating the were going to make they at that Assembly meeting (as I said my grapevine is pretty efficient). 1 was just the least bit surprised when they didn’t do it. I was a little more surprised when I realized that what they were doing made sense. It was the best action they have ever taken or could ever take. Jim Young, proud and defiant, stood before the afternoon’s Student Assembly and declared, “We will no longer stand around and watch you people cut our program. We want the program the way it was.” I wasn’t going to tell him that it never was all that great. Young complained of no publicity, no awards, no banquet, no contingency budget, poor facilities, etc. “We want it all back and we’re going to work hard to get it,” Jim added with the kind of conviction one rarely finds in graduating seniors. This was really something. These guys had organized. They had a name and leadership. They had a platform with both principles and objectives. They were doing it non-violently, within the system, without shouting people down or insulting or scaring them as BSU did a year ago, (“We’re not like that,” Jim said.) It was good, it was exciting, it was the right way, and it was about time. Yes, it was about time that they stood up for what they felt were their rights as students. Coming to Assembly meetings will conflict with team practice in many cases, as Young pointed out. No one enjoys taking three hours out of their day to go to these meetings. But that’s how the system works. It was refreshing to see them use it rather than complain about it, something their coaches and administrators are famous for. In a way, it’s too bad the athletes feel I’m hurting the program, when all 1 ever wanted to criticize was the bureaucratic stubbornness that continues to threaten it A major complaint of the athletes is that I wasn't helping them, I wasn't defending their interests Why should I defend them when they wouldn't defend themselves? But Wednesday’s meeting might have been the dawn of a new day on that score. Bulls lose another game at the buzzer com posure by Paige Miller The Spectrum Slafl Writer Basketball Bulls don-t really like losing close games, but that doesn’t stop them. They lose them anyway. Perhaps it's habit-forming. Wednesday night a last second Armstrong State basket beat them 78-76. Buffalo’s Otis Horne broke away from Armstrong’s full-court '■ess with a pass from Gary Domzalski and scored on a lay-up to tie the game with 16 seconds left. After the Pirate’s threw away Buffalo pass, their inbound responded with a turnover of their own. Jeff Baker charged into Ike seconds Williams with six remaining. Then Sam Berry continued Richardson "We never had a 15 or 20 point lead before. We don’t know how to put people away." The Bulls' Inexperience has cost them dearly, causing them to blow big leads or make the wrong play in a close game. In thier last five games, they have lost three in lost to overtime, they and Armstongat the buzzer. ed the Thf- Couldn't buy one “We couldn’t buy a point,” said Bulls coach Leo Richardson. “What are you going to do?” Jones missed five lay-ups and tip-ins in the second half, as Buffalo made only 10 of 44 shots. held our “1 thought we For the fourth year in a row, Buffalo’s wrestling has received national ranking, this time from a brand new publication. National Mat News. The team Bulls were selected 16th nationally and fifth in the East. On the individual side, Buffalo heavyweight Charlie Wright was ranked fifth among the nation’s heavies, even though he is really a 190 pounder and should return to that weight for tomorrow’s tough match at Cleveland State. The Bulls’ undefeated (17-0) 134 pounder, Jim Young, received honorable mention. Poor turnout mars weight lift tourney by Dan Greenbaum Staff Writer Spectrum Buffalo’s intramural department held its first weightlifting tournament this week. The organizers of the tourney couldn’t have been more disappointed with the first day’s turnout. Competition started Monday evening and only 15 people had signed up by the time the muscles were scheduled to start popping. The tournament is coed, but much to the dismay of Gary Montour, assistant director of intramurals, no women had signed up at all. There are four weight classes and three different categories in which the contestants compete; leg presses, bench presses, and the standard military press. Each lifter gets a certain amount of points for his efforts. The competitor subtracts his or her weight from his best lift in each category arriving at a point total for that event. The three events are added together for a final total. The tournament is being held in response to numerous requests from people who lift weights regularly and feel that even for weightlifting, a little motivation is needed. But where are they? “Publicity is the problem,” responded Montour. However, he expects a large turnout at tomorrow’s final round. Montour’s concern is also geared toward the future of intramural weightlifting competition. If the turnout is strong, different types of weightlifting competitions may be instituted. Many local schools have started club or team competition, one of Montour’s objectives. Teams could compete on either an intercollegiate or intramural level. However, if the turnout remains small, the whole idea may have to be scrapped Safety is one thing that the staff is not too concerned about and they needn’t be. The “universal gym” is devised especially with safety in mind and two judges, Scott Berger and Mike Siegel, are spotting the lifters at all limes. Of course the spotters can’t do anything for a person who lifts more than he’s ready for, although there is a mandatory warmup period prior to the first lifts. But they request all competitors to "know thyself.” The competition is still open, particularly in the women’s division. (Don't be bashful women.) For further information, see Gary Montour or Bill Monkarsh in the intramural office. • Our women hoopsters fall prey to Canisius lead back and forth during the first half, but Buffalo lost the game in the second half with a poor shooting percentage and repeated turnovers in the last four by Joy Clark Spectrum Staff Writer took charge. The Pirate forward, high scorer with 33, took the inbounds pass, dribbled into the right corner, and threw up a 2Q footer at the buzzer. Despite the fact that Mike Jones was right on top of Berry, the ball swished through the net, leaving the Bulls holding the bag. Berry’s heroics resembled the Bulls’ loss Saturday night, when Youngstown’s Steve Postel hit a 35 footer at the end of regulation time to send that contest into overtime. Buffalo opened up a 16 point lead in the first half, thanks to some excellent shooting (54 floor). from the percent Armstrong fought back to a tie as the Bulls went five minutes without scoring. Wrestlers ranked Otis Horne of an old rivalry for Richardson and Pirates coach Bill Alexander. Before coming to Buffalo, Richardson was the head coach at State in Georgia. Savannah Armstrong was his crosstown rival. “They didn’t beat me in three years,” claimed the Bulls coach. “We want to win, of course, but not necessarily because of them.” The women’s basketball team, still without the services of 6’1” center Ann Trapper, dropped a 45-41 decision to Canisius College Monday night at Clark Hall. Coach Carolyn Thomas altered her strategy for the small Canisius team, using a full-court press and concentrating on taking inside shots. The strategy back-fired as Buffalo made only 23 percent of its shots for the night. “We haven’t played against a man-to-man defense yet,” commented high scoring guard Chris Barone, “and by the time we finally adjusted to it, it was too late.” continued her Barone frustrating quest for Athlete of the Week (she has been runnerup twice), by scoring 11 points. Buffalo’s rebounding was strong on both ends of the court as Pat Ann Dolan and newcomer down 11 Maloney pulled rebounds apiece. Buffalo and Canisius passed the minutes. “We played well and lost as opposed to playing poorly and losing, which is what we did last week against Erie Community College,” Thomas said.

Page seventeen . \n£cnd9*i w . muijoeqc eai . n99j;ns t �Entrance standards equalize Abortion... —continued from Three years ago, President Robert Ketter instituted a quota policy mandating that the State University at Buffalo accept 50 percent of its undergraduates from the eighth judicial district, which includes the eight counties of Western New York (WNY). All other applicants, including foreigners and those from across the United States, would comprise the other 50 percent. When the plan was adopted, standards for evaluating WNY applicants were markedly lower than for outside students, explained Richard Drumek, Director of Admissions and Records. During the past two years, however, differences in admissions standards have virtually disappeared. The high school rankings of accepted WNY students are now comparable with the rest of the student body. Myron Thompson, associate director of Admissions and Records, said the difference in admissions standards, while favoring local residents, had always been small. Dr. Thompson said the University adopted the 50-50 policy to conform with guidelines in its 1973 Master Plan, which states that the benefits of the University should be extended to as many Western New Yorkers as possible. Mr. Drumek indicated that while current enrollment is in the 50/50 ratio, the number of local students attending this University this fall was slightly larger than the number from downstate and other parts of New York. Unlike freshmen applicants, transfer students are not accepted according to a 50/50 ratio. Over the last three years, students who had previously attended private and community colleges have begun to recognize this University as a large educational center with diverse opportunities, Mr. Drumek asserted. Since many of the top students in Western New York are now attracted to the University special admission standards are no longer necessary although the 50/50 policy remains in effect. The enrollment policy for the next fall semester STATE UNI oim OFFICE ADMISSIONS OF will judge students on three basic points: grade average, class rank and the standardized admissions tests (Regents Scholarship exam or the SAT’s). The lowest grade of the three will be dropped and each applicant ranked. Ranking standards are the same lor all students regardless of locale. The Faculty-Senate Committee on Admissions decides the admission policy each year for the following fall semester. a new title: instead of the injection has been under study at Children’s and Deaconess Hospitals and is still awaiting approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Jean Hutchinson, Director of the Planned Parenthood Federation of Buffalo, revealed that out of 5,000 patients counselled for pregnancy by the Federation in 1973, 73 percent chose abortion. The demand for pregnancy counselling has continued to increase since 1973. Ms. Hutchinson explained that some women have difficulty financing their abortions. “If you’re over 21 and qualify for Medicaid, there’s no hassle. If you’re an emancipated minor under 21, there are a number of possibilities. If you’re a minor, your parents should be able to qualify for Medicaid. Otherwise, a minor has a problem,” she said. Welfare helps the very poor, so the problem is most critical among the near poor, Ms. Hutchinson pointed out. She said financing an abortion is “never impossible,” because doctors often help abosrb the payment, and many agencies in Buffalo are also willing to help. The Righl-To-Life organization in Buffalo, a voluntary private agency concerned with the protection of human life, is concerned about the lack of funds. Spokeswoman Helen Green complained that while abortions are covered under the surgical and hospitalization parts of medical insurance plans, a young, single women who wants to carry her or term pregnancy to completion, can’t get any coverage tor her hospitalization, delivery, or any part of the process. anewcareerforthe COLLEGE GRADUATE Spring Program February 17th—May 16, 1975 Fall Summer Program June 9th—August 29, Adelphi 1975 Program September 29th—December 19, 1975 UNIVERSITY hi cooperotiee with the Notional Center for Paralegal Training qualifies you to assume responsibilities A representative from Adelphi University Lawwith a law firm, corporation or legal yer's Assistant Program will be on campus on agency as a skilled member of the from 10:00 A.M.—4:00 P.M.

(516) 294-8700 ext. 7604. 14 February 1975 ‘Viable’ child Another issue that concerns Right-To-Life is “Aid to the Live Aborted Child,” a bill passed last spring in New York State which defines a “viable” child as one capable of living independently of its mother. In a hysterectomy, or caesarian abortion, the fetus is aborted live. The Right-To-Life organization is fighting to upgrade care of these fetuses in hospital nurseries, from which they are offered for adoption. The organization is also involved nationally with supporting Senator James Buckley’s re-introduction of the so-called “Right To Life Amendment” he introduced first in May 1973 and hearing took place last year. This month, Mr. Buckley is — Hear 0 Israel — For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 page I — sponsoring it again in the Senate, before a new Congress, and it is simultaneously being introduced in the House of Representatives by Congressmen Quie and Oberstar (Minn., Minn.) It defines the right to life as applying to all human beings, “including their unborn offspring” and makes an exception to its stand against abortion “in an emergency when a reasonable medical certainty exists that continuation of the pregnancy will cause death to the mother.” i Social convenience Senator Buckley express his feelings on abortion in this excerpt from Senate subcommittee testimony of March 6, 1974: “The issue before the Senate and the nation is whether this country is going to tolerate the continuation of killing for the sake of social convenience, or whether it is going to restore legal protection to all human beings, borun or unborn whose lives have been endangered by those unfortunate (Supreme Court) decisions. Every life has intrinsic value and should be given due consideration it’s not a question of woman’s right to privacy alone because two people are involved.” There have been eleven days of hearings on the amendment so far, with about 64 witnesses arguing both sides of the issue. The Right-To-Life organization has offered a reworded version of Mr. Buckley’s amendment, in which their emergency exception is optional and left up to the states’ discretion. It also says that, “no unborn person shall be deprived of life by any other person.” A third amendment under consideration leaves the whole issue up to each state to decide. — Legal implications Subsequent hearings may include other legal implications of the Buckley amendment, including the definition of meaningful life and the issue of euthanasia. A social worker at Our Lady of Victory Infant Home, one of the three maternity homes in Buffalo, observed that less women are using maternity homes. Another maternity home in Buffalo, run by the Salvation Army-Booth Memorial has limited itself to counselling in recent years because of the decrease. It is a trend the social worker attributed to an increase in abortions and contraception, and an increase in single women choosing to keep their children. Additionally, the . policy of doctors in Buffalo is generally to perform abortions «after twenty weeks, even though the law allows up to 24 weeks. Doctors reason that it is difficult to pinpoint the exact length of pregnancy. �CLASSIFIED FOLK AD INFORMATION ADS may be placed in The Spectrum office weekdays 9 a.m.—5 p.m. The deadlines are Monday, Wednesday and p.m. (Deadline for 5 Friday Wednesday’s paper is Monday, etc.) (188 cm) with “HEAD HRP” skis “look grand Prix” bindings.

Despite a decision last year by the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) which many thought would open the door to student participation in tenure review, the UUP insists that review of tenure, promotion and hiring remains the exclusive right of the faculty. The PERB decision, which involved the City University of New York, stated that the composition of faculty review committees was a matter of University governance and therefore not an issue that must be negotiated with the faculty as a conditjon of employment. Since the UUP has traditionally been opposed to student participation in faculty reviews, many felt the PERB decision would make it possible to lay the groundwork for attaining membership on review committees. Also at issue is the legality of this University’s Presidential Review Board on Tenure, which has two non-voting student Constantine Yeracaris level of review. Individual faculty members should not have to go through more than two levels of review, union spokesmen claim. The President’s Review board is a non-contracted body and could incite the union to file an employer labor practice charge, one UUP representative added. University professor Constantine Yercaris, who heads the local chapter of the UUP, conceded that governance issues are not in the contract, but maintained that “tenure review has nothing to do with governance. The current UUP contract is very clear and explicit in limiting faculty review to academic employees,” he stressed. Student participation. Dr. Yeracaris added, would be a “clear violation of Article 33 of the contract.” He also said that as a faculty member, he opposes, in principle, a studnt voice in tenure opot Wednesday, Buffalo UCtliCii It)' 12 February 1975 uuu. S00 Spot run. Run Spot, run. decisions. “A student has no business in voting for tenure. I’m afraid that it is an unfortunate attempt to try and rationalize a grab for power." Dr. Yeracaris said. Another UUP spokesperson also claimed that the clause calling for academic employees to participate in tenure, promotion and reappointment was designed expressly to eliminate .the possibility of students being on the committees. Ceaser Naples, SUNY assistant chancellor for Employee Relations, disagrees with the UUP. He said that the phrase in article 33 was intended solely to establish two levels of review faculty and provost without determining who could or could not participate in the review. Dr. Naples pointed out that student participation was never raised during contract negotiations, but the UUP is claiming it is a matter of contract. “Our position is that tenure review should be a local by-law matter negotiated separately at each university. Yercaris interprets the contract as having already excluded students.” Mr. Naples added that the State University administration has always tried to encourage student involvement in governance and that he is confident the matter will be worked out. “There are frequent questions on interpretation of the contract and what usually happens is people from SUNY and the union sit down and reach an agreement.” Andy Hugos, Media Director of the Student Association of the State University SASU, views the members. The UUP emphasizes matter as a “labor-management that the contract stipulates only dispute,” with the University two levels or review, departmental simply saying the contract does and provost. not exclude students from the Membership at these two stages committees and the UUP saying is- restricted by the contract to they are excluded. It will require a academic employees, but no test case to clarify the issue,” he provisions were made for a third said. More and more Americans, including college cannot read or write adequately. Functional illiteracy the inability to communicate clearly and competently, has become a leading problem of American education, a problem that cuts across race, class and level of schooling. College students are as guilty of functional illiteracy as anyone. The University of California at Berkeley, a highly selective school, found it necessary to institute a course in remedial English for a large percentage of its entering classes. The course, popularly known as “Bone-head English,” drills students in the basics of writing coherent English sentences and organized essays. At the recent conference on undergraduate education held at this University, all four featured speakers considered the inability of students to read serious books and write and speak decent English, the most serious singular problem in higher education. students, Dumbbells But the problem of illiterate students is not confined to this University and Berkeley. At Bowdoin College in Maine, applicants for admission now require an essay. The college’s faculty and administration said the most inept writers were most often athletes, poor people from inferior high schools and middle-class students from “progressive” schools. According to Collegiate Press Service reports several studies have been or soon will be released, showing how widespread the literacy problem is. In one study, 36 percent of those given an income tax form and information about dependents were unable to read, write, or compute well enough which to list the correct number of exemptions could cost hundreds of dollars in excess tax payments. Another study showed that a sample of adults with an average educational level of 10.5 years — - exhibited fifth grade levels in reading and compulation lllaterutz Still another study found a widespread concern among department chairpersons that “students are coming from high school with a far less firm grasp on fundamentals than before middle-class as well as disadvantaged students.” The College Entrance Examination Board, reacting to the declining ability of students to use their native language, recently included a “Test of Standard Written English” as a regular’part of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). The University of Oregon has required students with Verbal SAT’s below 370 to take a remedial writing course. The percentage of freshmen required to take the course has increased from 11 percent in 1970 to 15 percent in 1974. The number of freshmen exempt from the composition requirement (those with SAT’s above 650) declined from eight percent in 1970 to four percent in 1974. — Textbucks downgreated But the problem of poor writers and poor readers extends beyond the campus. McGraw-Hill, a major textbook publisher, now asks authors of college textbooks to write them at the eighth or ninth grade reading level. Other publishers are likely to follow suit. The Association of American Publishers’ guide to textbook usage was recently downgraded from the 12th grade to ninth grade level. For those without college education, the problems are even worse. U.S. Commissioner of Education Terrel Bell said only 56 percent of American adults could understand newspaper help wanted ads well enough to match their personal qualifications with the requirements listed in the ads. Mr. Bell also said about 38 million Americans could not locate the Social Security deduction on a monthly earnings statement. �Questions over validity of eyewitness testimony experiments proving by Jonathan Rider Spectrum Staff An armed robbery is taking place. Two men with guns run out of a liquor store in broad daylight into a waiting car. None of the people standing at the bus stop in front of the liquor store are later able to identify either the men or their car, except a nine-year-old boy who has the presence of mind to memorize the car’s license plate. Without his help, it is doubtful the police would have been able to apprehend the criminals. Why was it that only a nine-year-old boy among.a group of adults could grasp the situation and act accordingly? According to Capt. Brown of the Amherst, New York police department, age is an important factor. In this case, the boy may have been too young to realize the danger present and was under less stress than were the adult witnesses. Questionable that eyewitness testimony is at best questionable, and at worst completely misleading. Writer testimony Factors affecting eyewitness testimony, and the validity of eyewitness testimony in general, are the subjects of a recent study by Robert Buckhout of Brooklyn College. A story in the December issue of Scientific American deals with several recent , “Human perception is sloppy and albeit remarkably effective in serving our need to create structure out of experience,” explains Dr. Buckhout. “In an investigation or in court, however, a witness is often asked to play the role of a tape recorder, on whose tape the events of the crime have left an impression.” As Ulrich Neisser of Cornell University has pointed out, “Neither perception nor memory is a copying process.” Perception and memory are decision-making processes affected by the torality of a person’s ability, background, attitudes, motives and beliefs, the environment and the way his recollection is eventually tested. uneven, Interference Some of the more frequent sources of unreliability outlined in the study included insignificance of the events to the witness at the time; the length of the period of observation; and less than ideal observation conditions. Often distance, poor lighting, fast movement, or the presence of a crowd interferes with the efficient working of the attention process.

Allport of Harvard University, several people were given a brief look at a picture of a number of passengers on a subway train, including a black man and a white man standing with a razor in his hand. Fifty percent of the observers later reported that the razor was in the hand of the black man. Many witnesses enjoy the importance or the “notoriety” of being the witness, indicated Capt. Brown.

Credit due Newsweek to give ’ 1 its writers by-lines In an effort to give more credit to those doing the work, magazine will Newsweek henceforth assign writer’s by-lines to all articles that are 70 lines or more.

Jeff Grigsby, Managing Editor of United Press International, (LIPI) does not think the wireservices will begin including by-lines either. The collective nature of the work originally done by UP1 reporters excluded the use of by-lines, he explained.

Taking all these factors into account, it becomes apparent that eyewitness testimony should be given the same careful scrutiny as other evidence in a trial. In conclusion, Dr. Buckhout said, “It is up to a jury to determine if the doubts about a witness’s testimony are reasonable enough for the testimony to be rejected as untrue. Jurors should be reminded that there can be doubt about eyewitness testimony, just as there is doubt about any other kind of evidence.” N Y. 11229 U S Cities %A �Research Council to distribute grant funds Within the next few days, the Undergraduate Research Council will finish giving away $6,000. The Council, which Director Bill Atchley feels has “gone downhill” in the past few years, was created to encourage and fund research projects by undergraduates. “This past year has been one of restructuring and revitalizing the Council, getting it to move again,” Mr. Atchley explained. He feels that he has accomplished this, and now worries that no one will taJce over the job and keep the Council moving. Any undergraduate can go to the Council with a proposal for a research grant. The student is required to have a 2.5 average or better, be regestered for independent study, and have a faculty advisor. New projects In the past, 60-70 percent of the Council’s funds have gone to Chemistry and Biology projects, said Mr. Atchley, but the Council gives priority to areas that have not been funded. Proposals for “creative” work in the liberal arts are especially welcomed. One such current project involves a member of the French Department who is starting a French Club in a South Buffalo elementary school. The Council receives most of its funds from the Univeristy, ($5,000 of this year’s $6,000 budget), but this funding is dependent on support from the Student Association (SA). “If we don’t get adequate support from SA, we could lose the institutional funding,” Mr. Atchley explained. He is investigating the possibility of obtaining money from other sources, such as the National Science Foundation. Accomplishments This year, the Council reformed guidelines for research grants, found a faculty advisor, and started a file of information on research grants for undergraduates and first-year graduate students. Students who approach the Council for funding get valuable experience in “grantsmanship,” the art of writing funding proposals, which is crucial to those who intend to do research in later life, Mr. Atchley said. Still, giving away money creates some problems. Mr. Atchley noted that nearly all current members of the Council are seniors. He urged all interested underclassmen to join now to provide “continuity" for the organization. University help for lawmakers proposed A program that would provide “advice and consultation to legislators and their staffs” by members of the University faculty and professional staff was outlined recently in a letter from President Robert Ketter to area lawmakers. “There is a wide range of societal problems of mutual concern on which our faculty and staff could provide information and expert opinion,” Dr. Ketter observed. In coordinating the program, legislators listed areas in which they felt they may profit from consulting members of the University, and faculty members indicated areas in which they have particular expertise and would be willing to advise. The program would be largely informal, Dr. Ketter said, allowing lawmakers on short notice to supplement information they may have received through formal channels by consulting University personnel. Full scale studies and formal reports may be needed The Spectrum is published Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

Brief efforts will be considered an unpaid public service. Dr. Ketter explained. However, extensive studies will be arranged through administrative channels. Explaining the usefulness of such a program, Dr. Ketter said, “Through such a mechanism, we would hope to bring together those who are willing to make their expert knowledge directly available with those who hold responsibility for the framing of legislation and indicate the desire to obtain such assistance and advice.” He emphasized that the program will not advise lawmakers on any legislation which might affect the SUNY system.

The Bubble has been up since January 14. The latest postponement of the temporary structure (the Bubble was originally scheduled for completion last fall) was caused by a delay in the drying of a sealing layer of asphalt, which was ordered to make the surface safer to play on. Mr. Moore termed the effort a “beautiful job” and was pleased that the sealer covered 18,000 of the total 31,000 square feel1 inside the dome. In The Recreation Department has drawn up a list of regulations for the operation of the structure. No one without a Student ID or faculty recreation card will be able to use the facility. “It won’t be like Clark, where anyone can sneak in,” said recreation supervisor Gary Montour. “There will be only one entrance and we’re going to check people carefully.” The Recreation Department has already warned against trying to bring in outsiders to a student-funded facility. Students will probably have to come dressed and ready to play, at least for a while. Two trailers will eventually be attached to the Bubble as locker and shower room facilities, but the building will open without them. People have been advised not to bring valuables. Although the department claims that the structure is sturdy, its approval will be required for any activity not specified for the Bubble. No boots will be allowed on the playing surface. N YPIRG awaits ruling on legality of medical inquiry The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) of Buffalo is awaiting a ruling from the Stale Department of Education on whether doctors who cooperate with its survey of local medical care are violating medical ethics and a state law which prohibits doctors from advertising. A newsletter from the Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY) had advised doctors that they were under no legal obligation to answer consumer group survey questions and warned that compliance with surveys may be illegal. As a result, only IX percent of the doctors surveyed have cooperated, according to project co-directors Stan Berke and Jill Siegel. The majority have refused to cooperate largely because of the legal uncertainties involved, Ms. Siegel indicated. Complete listing The soon-to-be-released survey, entitled Guide to Gynecologists and Obstetricians in the Buffalo Area , will include a complete listing of doctors practicing in the area, along with information on fees, practices, availability and other facts. The directory has been designed to provide people in the community with information on doctors and to change the nature of doctor/patient relationships, according to Mr. Berke. It will attempt to offer patients the “same kind of information when choosing a doctor as is now available to the consumer when buying a toaster,” to offer patients a better understanding of health in general, and to “strip the veil of secrecy” which many feel has protected doctors from public scrutiny.” No response Nancy Kraemer, senior staff attorney for P1RG, does not think MSSNY has a legal leg to stand on. Still, the problem of convincing the Buffalo doctors —Lester Stan Berke cooperate remains unsolved. “It was understandable that the doctors didn’t respond,” Ms. Kraemer noted to If the State Education Department rules in favor of PIRG, MSSNY will be asked to retract their earlier statements and notify doctors of the ruling. If the Commissioner rules that listing doctors in the directory does violate state law, then PIRG “would consider suing,” Ms. Kraemer said. Richard Trecasse, executive director of the Erie County Medical Society, could not be reached for comment. Wednesday, 12 Febraury 1975 . The Spectrum .

Automobile Workers (UAW) marched on Washington last week to demand that the Ford Administration and Congress provide jobs for the unemployed. “If people in power don’t understand the plight of the unemployed,” said Douglas Fraser, head of UAW’s Chrysler Department, “we’re going to come back again and again and again.” Nearly 300,000 UAW members are out of work. Numerous speakers drew loud cheers as they attacked tax loopholes for corporations and the Ford Administration’s proposal to escalate military aid to Vietnam. “We can’t wait until June or July or August for answers," Mr. Fraser declared. “We need them now.” Several labor organizations have been meeting to develop plans for combatting what they consider the severest economic recession since the depression. The AFL-CIO held an emergency general board meeting last month in Washington and officials from several unions, including the textile, electrical, and tobacco workers have said that many of their members are advocating organized demonstration. unemployed public employees back to work. Economists have indicated that drastic reductions in military aid to the to the Thieu regime in South Vietnam could provide union-level wages to thousands of unemployed American workers for years. With already meager wages about to run out for many of the unemployed, “the fear is for the future,” said Joseph Reilly, President of Local 906 of the Ford Mahwah plant in New Jersey. Four busloads of UAW members from this plant and their families attended the Washington rally, despite delays caused by a snow storm and traffic tickets. Causes crime Many unions feel that unemployment is destructive to the indivudual in several ways. The UAW newsletter, Washington Report stated that Dr. Harvey Brenner, of John Hopkins University, concluded from recent studies that increases in unemployment parallel increased incidence of heart attacks, infant mortality, suicide, alcoholism, mental illness and crime. , After studying charts dating back to 1914, Dr. Brenner concluded that increased stress and anxiety of expectant mothers during recessions cause premature Demonstration births, and that increased alcohol UAW President Leonard or use can harm the infant. drug Woodcock has been speaking to also show that the His studies other labor unions about mortality rate non-white infant organizing such demonstrations in is markedly recessions during the spring if the problems are not than the rate for whites. higher resolved by then.

Group attempts to deal with negligence, abuse in prisons by Brett Kline Spectrum Woman inmate kills guard to stop rape A twenty-year-old black woman has been charged with first-degree murder in the icepick slaying of a prison guard in Beauford County, North Carolina. Conviction of Joanne Little would carry the mandatory death penalty. Ms. Little’s care is unusual, according to one Beauford County law enforcement officer, because of “the peculiarities in the way he [the prison guard] was dressed.” The body of the guard, 62-year-old Clarence Alligood, was found naked from the waist down, slumped near the foot of Ms. Little’s prison cot. He had been stabbed 11 times with an icepick that other inmates testified he kept in his own desk. Beneath him was a woman’s kerchief, and the county medical examiner reported “clear evidence of recent sexual activity” by the guard including a nightgown on the cell floor and a bedjacket hanging on the door. Former State Senator Julian Bond, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama, is currently seeking funds to aid in Ms. Little’s defense. He described the case as “one of the most shocking, outrageous examples of injustice against women on record." Ms. Little claims she struck the guard in self defense. heart. Women who have stayed in the jail have charged that Mr. Alligood and other white guards made sexual advances to them also, Mr. Bond said. “In a blur of fear and confusion, Ms. Little fled from the jail,” Mr. Bond asserted. She then hid for several days, fearing the police would kill her, and turned herself over to authorities just as efforts were being made to declare her a legal outlaw. In North Carolina, a legal outlaw may be shot on sight by anyone without benefit of a trial. The trial is suspended pending action by a higher court on Ms. Little’s appeal of a Beautord County Court judge’s decision denying a change of trial location. Additionally, Ms. Little’s defense attorney requested $20,000 to hire an investigator to look into allegations that other inmates have been subjected to sexual abuse, and a criminologist to reconstruct the stabbing incident. Racist jury Mr. Bond is convinced Ms. Little is telling the truth, and that she could never receive a fair trial in Beauford County. “The jury will be selected from people living in the neighboring a statutory counties is being which requirement as unconstitutional. challenged Pitifully, few black people are called to serve on juries in these counties.

(See accompanying article.) The Women’s Prison Project (WPP) has been particularly active in attempting to deal with prison problems in the Buffalo area. With four other groups, WPP has filed a class action suit against the Erie County Holding Center, charging negligence in prison conditions and mistreatment of inmates. The list of complaints is long and covers almost every aspect of prison life. Unlivable conditions Visiting hours are inadequate and degrading, and visual contact is reduced to a window approximately 4x6 inches, with a wall between inmate and visitor, the WPP claims. All general mail into and out of the Holding Center is read and censored, and there are no libraries. a doctor is present Medical care is inadequate week hours and the WPP feels the per for only 10 for women is worse. There are no situation Women are not services available. gynecological such the use necessities, even minimal as permitted of tampons, presumably because of “security” considerations. Inmates are not permitted outdoors and women are denied any recreation. Many inmates, particularly those between the ages of 16 and 20, have been subjected to unnecessary and brutal beatings by employees at the Holding Center, the class action suit alleged. Women inmates have also been subjected to physical mistreatment by male guards, WPP claims. - - Abuse Refuting the charges of the WPP and other organizations. Thomas E. Whelan, Superintendant of the Erie County Holding Center, said there have been no instances of sexual or physical abuse of inmates by guards. Mr. Whelan asserted that in cases of extreme violence, inmates are held down and given medication to subdue them. The jail, he went on, employs a full time staff, including three psychiatrists, to treat mentally disturbed patients. The WPP comes to the center two times a week and their success has been fantastic among women inmates, Mr. Whelan stressed. They set up arts and crafts projects lifting the moral by helping women do constructive work with their hands. Mr. Whelan said there was no library in the Holding Center because of space limitations. However, he explained that book carts are wheeled up and down the rows once or twice a week. This facility is used by a great many inmates, Mr. Whelan said, noting that in.the past year, there have been over 10,000book withdrawals, with equal time given for men and women. Segregation by sex Men and women also attend church services at the same time, separated by partitions. Most recreation in the Holding Center is separate for men and women, however, because of the nature of the activities “women have as much or more recreation time than men,” Mr. Whelan asserted. The WPP has also been concerned with injustices to women at the Erie County Pentitentiary. One complaint has been leveled at a New York State Code of Rules and Regulations statute which specifies that “the matron shall retain the key for the detention area for females and no male person shall be admitted to enter an area where female prisoners are detained . . .” This statute has been interpreted to mean tha women may not participate in any activities with men. Therefore, in the Erie County Pentitentiary, women are not allowed to use the library, explained Laura Zeisel of the WPP. Instead, a book list is passed around to the women inmates. Ms. Zeisel believes that at least one hour a week should be alloted to the women for use of the library, which is the only air-conditioned building in the jail. No sexual abuse Ms. Zeisel also cited evidence of phsyical abuse of female inmates in the Erie County Holding Center in Buffalo. But she made a sharp distinction between physical and sexual abuse, stressing that no sexual abuse had ever been witnessed or reported. When women inmates scream or behave disruptively, Ms. Zeisel continued, matrons threaten to call the male guards to beat up the inmates. There are also many psychiatric cases in the jail. When someone reaches the point of becoming dangerous to other inmates, she is put in an isolation cell, called “the hole” by inmates. However, the cell is not soundproof and if the disturbances continue, the guards sometimes come and physically shake the woman, even to the point of leaving black and blue marks on her body. Defense fund A non-profit organization. The Joanne Little Defense Fund, Inc., has been formed to raise money in Ms. Little’s defense. Contributions may be sent to P.O.

A Native American, faced with eviction or unemployment, often does not know where to go. The Native American Social Service (NASS) storefront is solely for Native Americans, often serving as a referral agency. But more importantly, it provides advice and comfort to Indians who do not know where else to turn The organization provides clothing, food and money for people in immediate need. It is also a place where people can drop in, have a cup of coffee, and speak to other Native Americans. The nucleus of the group consists of seven volunteers, who handle the finances and organize the group’s affairs collectively. “The whole idea is one frame of mind. Unanimous in all thinking, there is a spirit here. All Indians are welcome, there is no governing body,” said treasurer Marilyn John. She emphasized that her position of treasurer was established not as a position of leadership, but just “to keep the accounts straight.” The group has no President. Independently funded The storefront raises money through monthly bake sales, raffles and calendar sales, as well as from donations. It receives no subsidies from outside agencies. Some members donate their own food and clothing to those in need in the community. The building was donated by the Rev. Grote, pastor of the Indian Church. NASS pays the utilities. The Trinity Church donated S3000 last summer to rent plots of land for participating to cultivate. This particular project suffered from a lack of interest, however. This year, the group is hoping that the church will again fund the venture, although one spokesperson was pessimistic about whether enough money could be found. Tomatoes, corn, potatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash and turnips would be raised and would be used and distributed by the group. One of PTICC’s problems was that it would close during the summer, leaving no place for the Indians to go. Eventually, it closed altogether and the Buffalo North American Indian Culture Center was founded. Incorporated and receiving federal aid, the center focuses on the cultural aspect of the Indian heritage. Although NASS and the culture center are not affiliated with each other, there is much interaction between them. Many people are referred to the organization through friends the group has helped. One woman recently left homeless by a fire, described how she discovered NASS. “One day my son was sick and a worker from the [West Side Health] Clinic came to my house and sent me to the clinic. When my house burnt down, she sent me here.” The worker explained that “a few people carry on dual roles, working at the clinic and volunteering for NASS.” In cases like this, the group members will contribute their own money to pay for rent, or provide their own homes as temporary residences. Support picks up When one couple needed help with an anemic baby, NASS collected baby food and Similac, and then provided food for the rest of the family. NASS did not receive overwhelming support from the community at first. Now, though, when asked about the group’s progress with the community, a volunteer replied, “We're still here. I wasn’t sure at first, but we’re still here.” Other services that the group provides are arts and crafts classes for children, and annual dinners and outings for the older people of the community. The arts and crafts class was previously taught by a State University at Buffalo student, Gwen Shlansky, who graduated in January, and the Service is now looking for another volunteer. NASS also acted as a go-between for the Welfare Department and potential foster homes two years ago, but this effort proved successful. Meetings were held at the storefront, including representatives of the Welfare Department and the foster homes, and a judge from family court. SKIRTS plain SWEATERS 69c ea . Lowest prices in town!

Each kid had to have a certain amount of cubic inches,” she said. “We couldn’t understand that. All these kids needed was a good home The Service seeks only those volunteers willing to make a firm commitment. The storefront is open on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 Goodyear-Main Campus p.m. NASS started as a social service in June 1971, as part of the Pine Tree Indian Culture Center (PTICC). “There was a need, we saw it, and we fulfilled it,” a volunteer explained. PANTS-plain ” Fanatics Parachute enthusiasts defy gravity, gaining popularity by Dan Greenbaum Spectrum Staff Writer The university’s new skydiving club now accommodates a few dozen fanatics whose idea of fun is falling to the ground at more than 100 miles an hour. These parachute enthusiasts ignore the fact that the plane they are jumping out of looks like a wind-up toy, and that their fate is wrapped up in a large piece of cloth. But it’s not just the suicidal types that are getting into this unique sport. The skydiving club’s NX ' A s ■ .w //> //; //</ this time, including 28 rookies. One of them, Brian Siegel, had never even been in a plane before. “It didn’t feel like you were zipping through the air,” said Siegel, whose first takeoff was conventional, though his first landing was sans aircraft. “You were just there with nothing else around,” he added. Before someone is allowed to start jumping, he or she must go through an extensive three hour training program covering exit procedure, landing, what to do in case of chute malfunction (after prayer, that is), and what to do if one lands on a power line or in water. Following the training session the individual is allowed to jump, but in a controlled situation. The first four jumps are made with a static line attached to the chute, which opens it automatically. After the fourth jump you’re on your own, and experts say that after the tenth jump all the fear is gone. There is nothing really difficult about “It’s more to personal parachuting procedure. geared excitement than to physical strength or agility,” said Mr. Cully, comparing his hobby to other sports. Butterflies Of course, one element linking this with other athletic endeavors is the butterfly syndrome. According to Bob Tullman, the hardest part is talking yourself into getting in the plane before it Sr/// takes off. r The Seneca Sport Parachute Club charges $35 for the first jump. Most of this sum goes for the tfaining session and the folding of the parachute by an expert. The second jump is only $15, the third $11.00, and so on, until after the seventh jump you are almost entirely on your own and the fee is only J $3.00. The organization in Buffalo charges $100 for the first jump, making it well worth the two hour drive that the students must make to Seneca Falls. The Seneca Club also has the advantage of indoor waiting for those not up in the plane, a must in winter, as well as handy kegs of beer when weather conditions make jumping impossible. membership is growing all the time and includes in its ranks many of tomorrow’s doctors, lawyers and accountants. Mike Cully, a graduate student, organized the club a few weeks ago and has been encouraged by an enthusiastic response from students. Mr, Cully, who made almost 500 jumps in his undergraduate days at Brockport, had to start the Buffalo club from scratch. His Brockport club had been jumping as a team in tournaments but when the Buffalonians went to the Seneca Falls jump site for the first time, only two of the 43 participants had ever jumped before. Nothing else around A week ago the club went out again, 60 strong Regulations As one would expect, the federal government has placed certain safety regulations on this potentially dangerous activity. The basic ones are that a jumper must wear a reserve chute; jumping through clouds or into winds over 15 mph is illegal; and the jumper must empty his chute at an elevation greater than 2000 feel. The club is trying to cater to new jumpers for the rest of the year. This provides students with the opportunity for what one well-known television commercial calls “a truly unique experience.” Even those who have jumped have a difficult time explaining the feeling. For additional information contact Mike Cully at 652-2091. Living, breathing for a jump One day about two weeks ago, Terry offered Ed, a typical student, the biggest hit of his life. Terry: Come on Ed, it’s really fantastic. Ed: 1 don’t know about it. How much is it? Terry: Thirty-five dollars for the first time, but it decreases each time after that. And there’s nothing else like it in the world. You’ve got to try it at least once Ed. I’ve thought about trying it for a while now. But I’ve heard of people getting hooked or really messed up doing it. That Saturday Ed found himself in a small four passenger plane, flying over Seneca Falls, New York. When his turn came, he climbed out of the plane onto the metal step that covered the wheel, and on the signal he jumped. Ed fell for the longest two seconds of his life before the static line running from the plane to his parachute automatically opened the chute. He drifted for about three more minutes until he landed near a lake about a quarter mile from the gravel landing circle near the runway. Ed is now an addict. He jumped five more times using a static line until he was well-trained enough to pull his own chute. Within a few months he was jumping from over 10,000 feet and free falling, the real thrill of the sport, for up to 60 seconds. In time Ed would spend more per week on skydiving than on food, despite the low rate per jump. He would live and breathe skydiving jumping on weekends and anticipating the thrill of free fall during the week. He could talk and think only skydiving. Friends and relatives stopped associating with him. To get addicted call Mike Cully at 652-209}. For an even larger fix stop by any Thursday night at 8 p.m. in 244 Norton Hall.

Although figures released by the University last week show a dramatic increase in the number of minority faculty and non-professional positions, these statistics would be meaningless if they were found to conform to the letter but not the spirit of Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) guidelines. If it is true, as Civil Engineering professor Oswald Rendon-Herrero contends, that the figures do not distinguish between American-born minorities and foreign nationals, it would mean that the fundamental goal increasing educational opportunities of Affirmative Action minorities has been ignored. for — — gentlemen.

Pax. - have — When local Assemblyman Arthur Eve and President squared off last March after Mr. Eve alleged Ketter Robert that the University had been lax in its efforts to recruit minority faculty, all of the underlying social and philosophical issues were buried under an avalanche of statistics. Because of a preoccupation with statistics, or the question “how many?", not one question was raised about the quality of the Affirmative Action program. We are not accusing the administration of subterfuge, but merely asking whether its statistics are inflated that is, have foreign nationals been hired at the expense of American minorities, and has this distorted the figures which indicate a strong commitment to Affirmative Action? " — Curiosity demands that the administration routinely provide answers to some fundamental questions about its minority hiring practices. Some examples: What percentage of black and hispanic faculty and staff hired during the past year are American? Have these faculty been integrated into a variety of academic departments, or loaded into areas like Puerto-Rican and Afro-American Studies? This last question becomes significant if one considers that Affirmative Action is synonymous with increasing educational opportunities for minorities. Surely, fewer minority students would shun pre-professional and humanities programs if they knew they shared similar backgrounds with some of their instructors. Statistics on the number of American blacks who are teaching in the Chemistry, Engineering and English Departments would thus provide a much clearer picture of Affirmative Action than overall figures for the University. Perhaps most of the minority faculty here are American, in which case the University will indeed have demonstrated a more solid commitment to the rights of minorities. But until the adminsitration provides some detailed information to accompany its statistics on minority hiring, no one will know if the spirit of Affirmative Action to increase has educational opportunities for American minorities been sacrificed in the interests of expediency.

Wouldn’t that be called a tyranny by one of many? , frorr here by Garry Wills George J. Myers Irrational nationalism To the Editor This is addressed to those who wrote last semester to the Editor about the Middle East question, and to Mr. Samuel M. Prince in particular (2/5/75, and previous issues) whose contribution to the Zionist cause will hopefully be carved on the walls of Knesset To put it simply, the Palestinian Arabs, as a matter of fact, now EXIST. The Middle East problem also EXISTS. The Middle East problem will not be solved unless the Palestinian problem is solved! The reason is that the Palestinians are going to continue fighting, indifferent to Israel’s Phantoms, her nuclear capabilities, and despite Mr. Prince’s protestations that Zionism is not a racist ideology, because for them (the Palestinian Arabs), Zionism is racist. The other part of the answer is: we Arabs, bound together with the same culture, and split apart by dear Colonialism which by the way introduced us to Technology, Oil, and Israel! are going to still help the Palestinian Arabs to regain .... — — their rights. Now, if an Israeli feels he/she belongs to Palestine, and if a Palestinian Arab feels the same, the answer is: compromise! Yet Israel, on the basis of the Law of Return, continues to allow persons who have not been born, nor lived in Palestine, nor ever seen Palestine, but happen to be of the Jewish faith, to go and settle there. Whereas a Palestinian Arab who was born, raised, and lived there, and his fathers and forefathers were the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine is not allowed to go back to his/her own land. This is what the Palestinian Arabs call Zionist exclusionism and racism. So the struggle will go on; and I truly thank you, Mr. Prince, because people like you have made me renew my belief in what I had hitherto regarded as irrational nationalism. Tony S. Khater Correction Last Wednesday’s The Spectrum erroneously reported that the budget for intercollegiate athletics is $222,000. The entice SA allocation to athletics is $222,000, which includes recreation and intramurals. However, men’s and women’s intercollegiates, receive $145,000 combined. Furthermore, Hockey Coach Ed Wright has flatly denied that he had recommended to his athletes to vote one way or another in the mandatory fee referendum, contrary to what was reported. to ther Israeli government spokesmen try to convince visitors that those who live on the occupied West Bank of the Jordan never had things better, and are basically happy with their lot. That is unfortunate, since the assertion is a priori unlikely and easily disproved as a fact. Holding the territories conquered in 1967 can be justified as a necessary evil, but hardly as a blessing to all parties. We are told that this is the most enlightened and humane government ever imposed on a conquered people. Maybe so. But what occupied people loves its military governors? Drive around the West Bank, and look for any fraternization of soldiers with their subjects you will find none. A cold bristle of hate exists on both sides; and the military is kept out of all but the most necessary contact with the hostile which is enlightened administration, population because inefficient. The Roman occupation of Jerusalem during the Second Temple period was very enlightened. The Romans, after all, had a native tool who, if anyone ever could, made “collaborator” a good name. Herod built the Second Temple for the Jews. But resentment at quisling “tax gatherers” increased, along with zealotry, and the Romans had to stamp out rebels and Temple and (almost) a whole people in the bloody war thatended at Masada. What makes Israel think the Palestinians will be any more yielding than they were? West Bank Palestinians have no civil rights, no recourse to trial against detention by fiat or instant deportation. Compare their lot with that of the Catholics in ster who do have the vote, and a right to trial, and citizen status. Yet the hatred of a far less cruel authority exercised over them has led Catholics for decades to condone terrorist IRA tactics as a voice of protest against those they think of as oppressors. Why should the Palestinians, with far greater complaints, love their military rulers? The Israeli argument seems to move in three steps. 1) The Palestinians are better treated by Israel than they were by King Hussein, who slaughtered them in great numbers when he tried to quash the terrqrists. 2) The civil servant establishment on the West Bank never had things better since it is getting a double salary from Israel and from Jordan. And 3) these reasons for gratitude are bound to weigh/nore, in the long run, than romantic PLO rhetoric. Take - - — „ - the points one by one: 1) There is certainly resentment of King Jussein among Palestinians as part of an Arab revolt against an Arab ruler. Yet Hussein is the distant devil now, as compared with the tanks of Israel rolling through Nablus. Besides, internal Arab conflicts exacerbate, rather than ease, Arab hatred of the Jews. On the one hand, Jewish hawks recognize this anti-Semitism when they try to say that dealing with Arafat is useless. But they should not, then, turn around and deny the hostility by caliming that West Bank Palestinians actually love their military rulers. 2) It is true that Israel, under its military administration, pays civil servants (including public school teachers) how could it not? It continues to collect taxes, including some new ones, from the population. Not to return the services for this levy would be foolish. The real question is: why does Hussein keep paying civil servants after publicly cutting loose the West Bank from his reign? Obviously, because he wants to reclaim the territory eventually, and feels he has a chance to do so. Israel sometimes hopes this is the case that Hussein will reabsorb the West Bank in such a way that the PLO is squeezed out. Yet the Israelis cling to this hope while arguing that Hussein is more hated than the occupying Jewish soldiery. 3) All these self-deceiving contentions rest finally on a rationalist thesis that those who deserve love will be loved. Waive entirely the question whether love really is, or can be, earned in a situation where Jews occupy Arab territory by force. Even if that were true, love is not compelled by these means, though pernaps it should be. Favors granted within a framework of alien control just grate on a subject people and make them feel bought. That is the unlovely history of all occupations, and Israel’s is no exception. 1 return to the first question: Why do government officials, usually wise enough not to make excessive claims, try to fool their visitors with so patently weak an argument? 1 fear it is because they have first fooled themselves. They want to believe that the occupied territories are better served by their control. This alleviates their guilt for the occupation and takes away pressure to relinquish the lands, and encourages the false hope that Israel can hold on to these territories indefinitely. In that regard, the self-deception just brews deeper trouble for tomorrow. — - - Wednesday, 12 February 1975 . The Spectrum . Page nine �Ron Hendren Dust to dust Aid to South Vietnam To the Editor. To the Editor. Given enough time, the rain and wind will reduce the new Ellicott Complex to a pile of sand. The Spectrum seems to be against the war in Vietnam. Well, not really, it seems to be against U.S. invovlement in the incident in any way, manner or form. It asks and seems to demand that our government cease to aid the South Vietnamese. The Spectrum is not against the war, but against U.S. involvement, two different things. The Spectrum appears to be for war for the Communists. It appears to be for the slaughter of women and children, for torturing prisoners, for keeping political prisoners and their execution without a fair trial, for authoritarian dictatorial oppressionist governments wh6 do not acknowledge the freedoms of speech, press, religion or the pursuit of happiness, and The Spectrum seems to be for not upholding peace agreements and treaties. Is it not interesting how The Spectrum accuses the U.S. of not upholding our treaty obligations while North Vietnam pours men, tanks, arms, missiles, artillery and such into South Vietnam, a clear breech of the accords. The N.V.A. has established heavy anti-aircraft defenses in Viet Cong controlled areas as well as airfields and military camps of all sizes. To the North Vietnamese the accords are just a scrap of paper, an opinion which The Spectrum condones as long as the Communists hold it but will not permit the U.S. to hold the same Vincent M. Coluccio Unanswered questions To the Editor Now that the referendum deciding the fate of the mandatory student fee is over, now that we are all back to paying our yearly tribute to that collection of special interest groups, i.e., The Student Association, let met ask two questions: (1) Who was in charge of the aforementioned referendum? and (2) Who stood the most to lose with the death of the mandatory student fee? Nancy L. Goodwin Price broadcast not a hoax view. To the Editor. this letter concerning the broadcasting of the Vincent Price lecture over WIRR. First of all, let me say that it was not a joke we had every intention of broadcasting or a hoax the lecture. Unfortunately we ran into difficulties. We got the final OK from Stan Morrow and Vincent Price in the afternoon of the night of the lecture. With about fifteen staff members running around getting everything organized, we finally got the signal out of Clark Gym at about 7:55. The broadcast only lasted for about five minutes before the directors of Norton Hall complained and made us take our line down. Therefore the broadcast of Vincent Price never happened. I would like to apologize to all those people who tuned in and expected to hear Vincent Price over WIRR. I am terribly sorry and I am sure this will never happen I writing am - again. Has The Spectrum no honour, no sense of responsibility? Has The United States of America no honour, no sense of responsibility to uphold her solemn promise of support, of upholding and enforcing a just peace treaty? Are we so base as to give our sacred oath at sunrise only to break it at sunset? A treaty is only as good as its enforcement. If a treaty is broken by one side, the agreement is off, it is a just cause for all out war. But when the Communists break a treaty the news media, as exemplified by The Spectrum condones it and even supports it but condemns our government from following the Communists example or enforcing the treaty. No wonder SEATO is a joke and NATO becoming one. Why should countries trust us when we have no honour? Let us show the world we have honour, a sense of responsibility, of duty to uphold our word. Let us aid South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Israel in their just struggles. Steven Schwartz General Manager, WIRR J S. Purdy Clod and the Pmne To the Editor. This is in response to the most recent cheap shot taken at Buffalo, and it’s NBA Braves by Knick fanatics (lunatics would be more accurate) Lenny Schindel and Arnie Drucher that appeared in last Friday’s The Spectrum. First of all they said they had trouble finding their seats in the Aud. This is understandable since the Auditorium’s seating plan is based on common sense, something most Knick fans have proven they have very little of. They probably have trouble finding their noses when they blow them, let alone find their seats. As far as the Knicks “All-Star” backcourt is concerned, I really can’t argue with them about their “All-Star” status. “Clod” Frazier and Earl “the prune” Monroe are both All-Stars when it comes to; 1) Gunning 2) Hot-dogging 3) Selfish play far as their statement about the “Prune,” excuse me the “Pearl” making circles around the Braves is concerned, for every circle the “Pearl” makes, Randy Smith makes a circle, octagon, and 32 triangles around the Knicks, In regards to the comment that the Knicks have problems getting up for any NBA team except Boston and Milwaukee, it would appear to me that they have been having problems getting up for anybody lately. Since Buffalo defeated New York January 24, the Knicks have a won 2, lost 7 record including the embarrassing loss to the first year New Orleans Jazz. Most recently they lost back to back pressure games against the Celtics (One of the teams they supposedly get “up” for). Their comment that the Knicks “awaken” during the play-offs doesn’t hold water since a team first has to make the play-offs before it can Awaken in them. The way they are playing now the Knicks and their fans will be watching the Braves in the play-offs, and waiting for next year to try again. Bragging that Frazier was MVP of this year’s All-Star game is really nothing to brag about. It was Braves Booster one of the poorest quality All-Star events in recent NBA history. It was obvious that Frazier was out for his own glory at the expense of his teammates. As P.S. In the future you should stick to commenting on tic-tac-toe. It’s more on your level. What would Moses have said? To the Editor: (paraphrasing C.B. DeMille) Ladies and Gentlemen . . . young and old . . . this may seem an unusual procedure, speaking to you upon the battle’s end. But we have a frequently usual subject: The death of student freedom. A story of UB. As many of you know, The Student Association omits some $67 each year from our lives . . . from the time we entered, and was found in the bull rushed upon us by bureaucracy, the children of neglect, until we learned of our rights, and was killed by the “electorate.” To fill in these missing dollars, we are subjected to chronicles such as The Spectrum, and lies such as “services paid by our money.” The Spectrum, as you may recall, once wrote about the needs of all people, while the lies watched these needs become more and Page ten . The Spectrum . more unfulfilled. These chronicled lies have access to items long since destroyed, like our freedom of choice, or perhaps lost, like our fees. The theme, of course, is whether we should live by our own choices or whether we are to be ruled by the whims of a dictate like election '"Washington by Ron Hendren If the Justice Department and the FBI get their way, the traffic tickets you forgot to pay two summers ago may prevent you from getting a new job. This shocking conclusion emerges from a recent indication that the Justice Department is pushing behind the scenes for a National Crime Information Center, an idea left over from the Nixon administration. The proposed Center is an FBI computer which would store information about every individual wanted by the police for whatever infraction at every level of law enforcement. The purpose behind this data bank is deceptively simple. Most crimes are committed by repeaters, and most criminals bounce skillfully from one jurisdiction to another. Therefore, why not let the FBI gather all available information and provide it to local police departments upon request? Then, for example, if the St. Louis police are interrogating John Doe on suspicon of burglary, they can know straight away whether he ever robbed anyone in New York City. Make sense? Yes, argued FBI Director Clarence M. Kelley last March when he sought congressional funding for the crime data bank. It would, he said, make police work“more efficient.” North Carolina Sen. Sam J. Ervin, Jr. (D), whose Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights questioned Kelley, disagreed. “For one man to have control of crime data might be more efficient,” Ervin philosophized, “but this country wasn’t based on the idea of efficiency so much. It was based on the idea of power defused.” And much as one might respect the FBI and admire the improvements made under Director Kelley, Ervin is right. If we’ve learned one thing from the Watergate mess, it is that given too much power public officials will tend to chip away at personal liberties. Occasionally, one of the guises for this chipping is “crime prevention.” Let’s say. for example, that two summers ago while vacationing in Florida you received three parking tickets and forgot to pay them. You broke the law. This fact would go into the FBI data bank. Now you are applying for a new job and unknown to you your potential employer has an informal agreement with the local police to keep “undesirables” out of town (this actually occurred with the Kansas City, Mo., crime data bank initiated while Kelley was police chief there). Presto, your potential employer is told there is a Florida “warrant” outstanding against you. Hooray for efficient police work, but too bad for your new job. Or let’s say that your son is involved in a minor scuffle after a high school dance. Nothing serious, no charges, but the police write up a report. When your son applies for a job five years later will this “arrest” pop out of a computer? Under the proposed National Crime Information Center, it’s not supposed to. But no one can guarantee if won’t. The FBI’s new data bank is far from a fait accompli. At last March's congressional hearings the Nixon administration and Congress seemed to reach an informal agreement: the former would take no action until the legislative branch enacted specific stringent safeguards to prevent abuses like those described above. But now there is reason for concern. Congress, as you might expect, has been slow to act, and the Justice Department recently authorized the FBI to begin “limited message switching.” The switching in itself is not very significant, except that it indicates the Ford administration may be inching away from the agreement made by its discredited predecessor. Moreover, the authorization was made in secret, reaching the light of day only through a leak to therVew York Times. Congress should act, and act soon, to define proper limits for any National Crime Information Center, lest Big Brother reach into our private lives at a time when our attention is focused primarily upon inflation reaching into our pocketbooks.

Fox Wednesday, 12 February 1975 ... ... Eat your words To the Editor: �Destroy! ngself, environment About ten students in Rachel Carson College will be taking a field trip to Montana and Wyoming this summer to experience the reality of destroying oneself by destroying the environment. The eight-credit course, devised by A1 Wagoner, Rachel Carson instructor, and Tom Dailey, visiting former director of Montana PIRG, will explore alternate lifestyles and energy sources, including the radical difference the way white and native cultures treat the environment. “Some of our needs are created by being out of touch with nature,” Mr. Dailey explained. “We wouldn’t need to drive so many cars and make so many machines if we realized what the whole cycle of events is costing the environment.” Today, vast areas of the western U.S. are being destroyed by the strip mining and coal gasification operations. “In the course we hope to make apparent the lessons to be learned from a culture that values the land on which it lives,” Mr. Dailey said. “The contrast in attitude can be seen in the way we ignore t I large amounts of energy available like wind, solar power, and methane gas from sewage, in favor of destroying more land and polluting more air and of the ground.” The course will attempt to attune students to nature in five or six trips to points of symbolic environmental importance. For example, in northern Wyoming on a plateau in the Big Horn Mountains lies the Medicine Wheel, a circle of stones 100 yards in diameter, built by an ancient tribe of Indians. The participants will camp there and compare the area to the Dekker Strip Mine less than 50 miles away. “People from the east have to understand that a less damaging way to live has to be found. Through our lack of touch with nature, we are destroying other cultures and just destroying the land, Mr. Daile V emphasized. Course members will leave Buffalo on June 1st and return in one month.

Bronson Spectrum Staff Writer Despite calls for her dismissal because she is a member of the Ku Klux Klan, Janice Schoonmaker plans to finish her term as school board member in Pine Bush.N.Y. “I was put on the school board by good people,” Ms Schoonmaker said, “and I don’t plan to them.” Her disappoint involvement with the KKK, she claims, results from her “interest as a parent.” The Klan, which has supported Bible reading in schools, segregation and arch-patriotism, has been connected with calculated acts of violence and harassment. A report citing some 530 cases of overt “racial violence, reprisal and intimidation,” perpetrated by the KKK, was published by the Friends’ Service Committee, the National Council of Churches and the Southern Regional Council in Killings, beatings, stabbings and the bombing and burning of churches, synagogues and schools commonly occurred following the 1954 Supreme Court decision which made public school segregation illegal. Moderate shift A one-time director of the New York State Independent Northern Klan, Inc., Ms. Schoonmaker represents the shift in Klan emphasis to moderate, legal activity. Claiming her Klan membership affects her decision making no more than another member’s affiliation with the B’nai B’rith might affect it, Ms. Schoonmaker said, “I will judge each child according to his or her merits, regardless if he or she is a Negro, a Jew, or anything. We [the Klan] think that any individual should be involved with educational decision making. Students are the leaders of tomorrow.” Ms. Schoonmaker and her husband are awaiting a state decision regarding his suspension last month from his job as a teacher in the state prison system. Earl Schoonmaker Jr. is also a Klan member. Klansmen follow the law of the Constitution along with the law of > the Bible, according to Ms. Schoonmaker. “When 1 went to school we knew the beauty of the Bible, regardless of any religious affiliation. Our children have been denied that beauty,” she asserted. Answering charges of white superiority and racism that have been leveled against the Klan, Ms. Schoonmaker said her family had a black inmate living with them for four months. “But we object to anyone telling us what to do. If the state told us we had to live with a black inmate, I’d tell them to take a walk.” Those guilty of inflicting their prejudices on others are those who have called for her resignation, Ms. Schoonmaker claims. Board member Robert Collins said in the New York Times that “if some decision hinged on a person being white or non-white. I’m pretty sure which way her decision would come out. In fact. I’m convinced of it.” “It’s unfortunate,” said Ms. Schoonmaker, “that some people let their own prejudices get in the way of their public opinions.

Aug Aug �Hockey Bulls split home set by Paige Miller Spectrum The hockey Staff Writer Bulls found a toy to play with Sunday night: the New Haven Chargers. While the hapless Chargers were tripping over the proverbial blue-line, the Bulls coasted to an 11-1 victory. The night before, American International College (A1C) benefitted from a few Buffalo errors to score a 6-4 victory. The Bulls record is now 11-15-1. In the New Haven contest, Co-captain Doug Bowman scored on a two-on-nothing break-away late in the first period to record his second hat trick of the season. Doug added a goal in each of the subsequent periods to tie teammate Mike Klym’s school record of five goals in one game. “He (Bowman) found it difficult to score in previous years,” said Buffalo coach Ed Wright. “But tonight, everything he shot went in.” The Bulls played well in the first two periods, but eased up in the third, possibly to give the New Haven goalie Bob Blaikie a rest. Blaikie was named third star of the game for holding the Bulls to just eleven goals. The Yellow Jackets of AIC jumped out to a 4-1 Thrown out again With all the wit, charm and subtlety of a stampeding bull moose, Buffalo hockey fan Bill lead in the first period. Their attack featured three New York City products, Tom Mullen, Edgar Alejandro and Tom Lloyd, who are first, fourth and fifth, respectively, in ECAC Division II scoring this year. The Bulls, playing without Bowman (who was suspended for fighting at Brockport), defenseman Mark Sylvester, who re-injured his knee, and wing Mike Dixon, fought back to attain a 4-4 tie. Wright felt that the Bulls were hurt by the absence of these three, although he was not sure that their presence would have changed the outcome of the game. AIC’s Steve Wright recovered the puck behind the Buffalo goal, skated in front and flipped in the winning score. Goalie John Moore was not at his best. He had previously allowed a slap shot from past the blue line to get by as well as a shot coming Rosenthal attracted the attention of several of the AIC players Saturday night.' Paul Cartmill of the Yellow Jackets then demonstrated for Rosenthal one of the various uses of a hockey stick, poking him below the right eye. Rosenthal was ejected for the second time this year and received a one game suspension. Fellow heckler David J. Rubin was also ejected, but claimed, “I was only guilty by association.” straight off a face-off. Wright summed up the difference between the two teams and the two games. “AIC has much more talent. New Haven is just a young squad,” said Wright. “Tonight (against New Haven) we moved the puck better. Last night, we hit the crossbar a couple of times. We were much more frustrated last night.” Bad luck refs and overtime , by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor They should rename them the the third Buffalo’s luckless straight game, came out of time regulation cagers tied. They would have been better off if it had stayed that way. The Bulls dropped a 100-98 decision to a strong Youngstown State team Saturday night, lowering their season record to 6-12. Bad-luck Bulls. For angry Leo Richardson, Buffalo’s head coach. “Number one, we had poor officiating and number two, we had a five point lead and the basketball,” he added. Frustratinon Obviously, prosperity doesn’t set well with the Bulls, since they repeatedly tried to give the game away. “We had the lead, and Bobby (Dickinson] puts it up,” observed the still annoyed Buffalo mentor. “Bobby never should Last year, the Bulls dropped a have put it up. We had the lead 90-89 decision at Youngstown in again, and then Gary [Domzalski] a game in which the officiating puts it up. I distinctly told Bobby was a major factor. It was the and Gary to hang on to the damn same story Saturday as the Bulls, ball.” Self discipline does not trailing by nine at the half, took a seem to be one of the Bulls strong five point lead with just two minutes remaining. “The game never should have ;one into overtime,” reflected an points. The key man for the Penguins was little used reserve Steve Postel. Postel fame off the bench with less than five minutes remaining in regulation. What he did in the next ten minutes is more than most bench warmers do in a career. Following a last second time out, the 6’6” forward took the inbounds pass with one second left and scored on his first shot of the evening, a desperation 35-footer to tie the game. Then, with fourteen seconds left in overtime, Postel stole the ball from Buffalo center Sam Pellom, drove the length of the court, and hit on a short jumper from the corner with five seconds left. This time the Bulls called time out, apparently with four seconds remaining on the clock. “The timekeeper let the clock run down when we called time out,” said Bull assistant Harry Hutt. “He screwed it up." This week's Athlete of the Week is freshman swimming sensation Ted Brenner. The shy backstroker, a graduate of Amherst Central High School, does not really care for the publicity. He feels athletics get too much attention and he prefers to swim just for the fun of it. But how can we ignore the fact that he set a school record everytime he got his feet wet last Tuesday night, helping the Bulls to a narrow one point win over Rochester? Brenner lowered his own mark in the 200 yard backstroke, set a new 200 yard individual medley record and was a member of the group that eclipsed Buffalo's long standing 400 medley relay standard, rounding out a perfect night in the pool.

Not mute little boys. But children so withdrawn so afraid of failure, they cannot make the slightest attempt to do anything at which they might fail. Some don’t talk. Some don’t listen. Most don’t behave. And all of them don't learn. One day someone asked us to help. Kodak responded by working with the teachers. Showed them how, through the language of pictures, the children could communicate as they never could before. And the teachers sent the kids out to take pictures with their cameras. And then the miracle. Little boys who had never said anything, looked at the pictures and began to talk. They said “This is my house.” “This is my dog.” “This is where I like to hide.” They began to explain, Page fourteen . The Spectrum . Wednesday, 12 February 1975 to describe, to communicate. And once the channels of communication had been opened, they began to learn. What does Kodak stand to gain from this? Well, we’re showing how our products can help a teacher —and maybe creating a whole new market. And we’re also cultivating young customers who will someday buy their own cameras and film. But more than that, we’re cultivating alert, educated citizens. Who yvill someday be responsible for our society. After all, our business depends on society. So we care what happens to it. EH Kodak.

In the vote on the new SA UM Constitution Vol. 25, No. 54 State University of New York at Buffalo Monday, 10 February 1975 Expected college enrollment decline in the coming decade by John A. Fink Spectrum » Staff Writer The ramifications of projected enrollment declines in state universities and colleges were the theme of a conference Thursday at Rosary Hill College sponsored by the Western New York College Personnel Association. Fuller, State William S. Education Department assistant commissioner for higher education planning, delivered the keynote address which was discussed afterwards by a panel of three local college Presidents, including President Robert Ketter. Armed with an array of statistical projections and graphs. Dr. Fuller discussed the history of enrollment projections. Studies done as recently as three years ago have proven totally inaccurate because they predicted rising enrollments, Dr. Fuller explained. A new report was released last month, he said, predicting that no its institution will increase enrollment in the coming decades. Downward trend Elaborating on the causes for the enrollment projection reversal. cited birth rate Dr. Fuller statistics showing that since 1961, New York’s annual birth total has dropped 37 percent as compared with a national decline of 25 This situation, he percent. in a indicated, will result downward trend in college beginning enrollment around 1980. “If these projections are correct,” Dr. Fuller added, “we have some real problems.” local Discussing Dr. Fuller enrollment said the number of Western New York’s high school graduates will peak declines. this year then begin to drop. He warned college personnel that they have only four to five years to take steps toward meeting financial problems that will certainly almost accompany declines in admissions. These changes. Dr. Fuller emphasized, will have to be made by college administrators because it is too late to change birth patterns and too difficult to change geographic patterns attract more students. to Exploring possible solutions, Dr. Fuller remarked that the first thing schools must do is decrease the attrition rate of students already enrolled, rather than step which recruiting, already up consumes large expenditures. “The best thing an institution can do to improve retention in college is to get faculty interested in students,” he believed Frustration Another solution possible would be to smoothe the transition between high school and college and between two year and four year institutions. Dr Fuller said, so that less students will become frustrated with school and drop out. He feels there are many people who never went to college because they thought they could never make it or survive it. If guidance counselors made these people aware of their capabilities, many would go on to higher education. Dr. Fuller claimed. This has proven true at the University of New York City (CUNY), whose freshman class this year includes 6,000 students who school high earned equivalency diplomas, he said. Dr Fuller urged programs better counseling and improved transportation systems to ease access to these institutions. “Every p o s t-secondary institution should redefine its mission,” Dr. Fuller went on. Catalogs are the only contact a college or university has with a student and students are entitled to get what the catalog says, he said, adding that success depends greatly on mter-institutional cooperation as well. ‘Prophets of gloom’ Responding to Dr. Fuller’s Robert remarks, H. Stauffer. President of Erie Community College, said he disagreed with many of them and called Albany officials “prophets of gloom.’’ The problem with Albany, he claims, is that it "describes college students as only 18 year olds." Dr. Stauffer felt the situation could change from enrollment decline to overcrowding if other society sectors of were encouraged to attend college He predicted that as much as 10 of County's 1 lie percent population could be enrolled in local colleges (as compared with 4.5 percent presently enrolled I "I can't see the negativism existing in higher education today." he added, the basic noting that alternative facing society is "to build schools or jails." President Keller was the next panel member to offer his views. He said he viewed the situation as "survival, not salvation" for some institutions. approached was in the wrong way, he said that many students aren’t going to school because it no " ” Claiming that the problem being financial reward, prestige or self-fulfillment after graduation. Dr Ketter argued that this society is too "hung up" with degrees and urged greater flexibility in education because "an institution cannot (presently! become unique within the system Ketter said Dr. he was skeptical somewhat of projections. remembering how several years ago, projections had been made to encourage people to enter the field of education “at a time when there were no jobs available Me also mentioned that increased federal and state funding for the part-time students was essential. The final speaker. Robert S. Marshall, President of Rosary Hill offers longer long-term College, injustice more said it would be an for colleges to attract students by becoming “vocational high schools.” Dr. Marshall proposed, essentially he has in the past, that consolidation is the only way some schools will make it past 1990. “The most flexible stance we could now take for the small, private college is to get into a newer, more stable configuration, which means consolidation,” he said. Dr. Ketter also feels there will be both economic and pragmaticreasons for mergers, and predicts that they will eventually make as some public institutions unnecessary. Progress? Univers ity professor doubts Affirmative Action figures by Richard Korman Campus h'Jitor An assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering has charged that the statistics by released the University indicating a marked increase in minority faculty and staff are misleading because they group both American and foreign born minorities under general headings like black and Spanish. Statistics which include foreign born nationals are .inflated if those statistics are intended to show an the number in increase of American minorities, according to Oswald Rendon-Herrero The minority hiring statistics released by the University last week are "a lot of beans,” he said. For example, statistics often fail to distinguish among African blacks, American blacks, and other foreign nationals of the black race, or do not denote the differences between Puerto Ricans, Chicanos, and foreign nationals from Hispanic countries. The Spectrum reported Friday that the number of minority faculty at the State University at Buffalo has dramatically increased since a vigorous recruitment effort began last year to comply with federal Affirmative Action guidelines. There is “a definite upward trend toward realizing our goals," Harry Jackson, assistant to President Robert Ketter said Wednesday. Minority groups were broken down into four categories for recruitment Blacks. American Indians, Spanish and Oriental comprised Blacks the most significant minority group increase, with 18 new faculty and non-professional positions. Additionally, it was reported that the number of American Indian faculty remained the same, but Spanish Americans increased by eight and Orientals by three. "Percentages computed from such data are too often used to demonstrate significant advances - made by American blacks in attaining advanced degrees, when the advances are in reality, negligible,” Dr. Rendon-Herrero wrote in his 1974 study entitled Certain Inequities in the Graduate engineering education of American Minority engineers. The report will soon be published in the trade journal, engineering Issues. “The Spectrum was taken for a ride,” Dr. Rendon-Herrero observed. Distorted statistics improper often categories are used to purport such things as percentage increase in enrollment of blacks as if to imply that the advances were made by American blacks,” Dr. Rendon-Herrero wrote. —Jensen Dr. Rendon-Herrero “Too African nationals have certain cultural and identity advantages always by not shared their American brothers, which enables the black Africans to “qualify, stive for. and obtain adanced degrees in engineering.” Dr Rendon-Herrero said “Having a handle on one’s culture and indentity explains why Japanese Chinese are Americans represented slightly beyond their and number in the population.” In his study, he cited a Ford Foundation report on minority representation in higher education which disputes the impression that blacks and Spanish-surnamed Americans have dosed the gap between them and white students, and that special efforts to assist these minorities are no longer necessary Dr Kendon-llerrero contends that inordinate amounts of money are being spent to underwrite the cost of educating foreign students in graduate engineering programs in the United States, while at the continued on page 4 • �Warm and wet? Villains —a favorite topic for ‘pussycat’ Vincent Price Scoop Jackson eyes the President’s office Senator Henry M. Jackson of Washington, to noone’s surprise, has announced that he will seek the Democratic Party’s Presidential nomination in 1976. In a five-minute television commercial Thursday night, the 62 year-old legislator said he would use the office of the Presidency “to help the people in this country who are getting hurt. The little people little business, the elderly, the young, across the board have been the ones who have taken the beating.” Mr, Jackson, nicknamed “Scoop,” was the fourth Democrat to enter the field for the Democratic nomination, a field that promises to get more crowded before the year ends. far, Thus Arizona Representative Mortis Udall, former Governor Jimmy Carter of Georgia, and former Oklahoma, and former Oklahoma Senator Fred Harris have declared their candidacies. Texas junior Senator Lloyd Bentsen is expected to announce his candidacy February 17. Alabama Governor George Wallace has played his hand close to his chest, but is widely regarded as either a Democratic or Independent Presidential contender. — — Money Except for Mr. Wallace, Mr. Jackson is the best-financed of the potential candidates, having already raised over $1 million. He also has kept his name in the news almost constantly since the 1972 elections. An advocate of strong national defense and a tough pro-Israel policy, Mr. Jackson has drawn criticism from the Democratic left as a “hawk” on Vietnam and a cold warrior. Senator Jackson has taken a leading role in legislation dealing with the energy crisis and economid problems, and has emerged as a vocal critic of the Ford administration. Most recently, he led the fight in the Senate to tie the Soviet-American trade bill to liberalized emigration requirements for Soviet Jews. In the wide-open race for the nomination, Mr. Jackson is the nearest thing the Democratic Party has to a front-runner, but most observers agree it doesn’t mean much. Congressman Udall’s campaign to capture the left wing of the party has not succeeded spectacularly, but neither has it failed. Mr. Udall must fight for the left-wing with Mr. Harris and such possible dark-horse candidates as Idaho Senator Frank Church, who currently heads the Senate’s investigation into intelligence activities in the United States. Minnesota Senator Walter Mondale, a strong liberal, has already withdrawn. Convincing terror He feels that the fine line between terror and comedy makes it very difficult to create a convincing horror picture. The role of a villain presents a great challenge to an actor and there is much satisfaction in playing it well. The villain has a multi-faceted role because he must “keep up the suspense;” the hero is just “loo damned good,” Mr. Price remarked. Aristotle said that a villain needn’t be unattractive. Preferably, he should be a member of a king, Mr. Price stated, explaining high society that if a king can fall a victim to evil, the audience will realize it can happen to them. He also said that the villains we are closest to are the ones we read about every day in the newspapers. Life is a painful experience and people are sometimes crushed by it. he observed. Portraying villains wasn't always Mr. Price’s primary occupation. His career started with his role as Albert the Good, husband of Queen Victoria (played by Helen Hayes) in London. He also played Morgan in The Last Man un Earth. “Second choice” Mr. Jackson’s principal foe on aside from the party’s right Gov. Wallace is Mr. Bentsen. Mr. Bentsen has stated frankly that he hopes to be “everyone’s second choice,” a sound position since there is not likely to be a first-ballot winner. Holdovers from the campaign of South Dakota Senator George McGovern have said they would oppose a Jackson nomination. Former North Carolina Governor Terry Sanford and New York Governor Hugh Carey have also been mentioned as possible compromise nominees. Senators Edward Kennedy (Mass.), Hubert Humphrey (Minn.) and Edmund Muskie (Me.) all have denied any Warm towels intentions of running for the Looking back at some of his other movies, Mr. nomination, but Mr. Humphrey Price recalled the thrill of working with Ava Gardner said he will accept a draft if the in The Bribe. (“Dancing with Ava Gardner is like party does not find a nominee. dancing with a warm, wet towel. Don’t knock warm Mr. Muskie is also rumored to be wet towels if you haven’t tried them. I’ve spent willing to accept a draft. many nights alone in hotel rooms.”) Mr. Kennedy has said he does admitted to scaring two teen-aged girls out He nomination, want the but in not the past week, his name has resurfaced, adding fuel to speculations that he may be under mounting pressure to run. Mr. Jackson is handicapped by a lackluster campaign style. He is said to be a dull speaker, but no one seriously doubts his legislative skill. In a survey done by some Ralph Nader associates, Mr. Jackson was named the “most effective” Senator. — — - —Jensen of their wits at a showing of the box-office success House of Was, when he leaned forward in the dark theatre and asked, “Did you liiiiiike it?” in a ghoulish drawl. While filming a scene for Theater of Blood, Mr. Price’s character was required to dive into the Thames River. “There I was standing twenty-two stories above the Thames, suspended by a cord. My goodness, I don't even like to stand up on a book,” he shivered. Mr. Price set the mood for his presentation by periodically reading selections from Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe. To him, Yago from Othello and Richard III stand for everything that is wicked and evil. For an encore, he recited the poem, “The Conqueror Worm,” a dark, violent analysis of man’s self-destruction.

It is the villains, rather then the heroes, who seem to remain embedded in’ the minds of audiences. Their appeal is universal, because in the theatre, as in life, someone must create conflict and suspense. Such was the analysis of one of the greatest “villains” of all time, actor Vincent Price, before a captive audience in Clark Hall Thursday night, courtesy of the SA Speakers Bureau. Mr. Price, who has also been acclaimed as an art connoisseur and a gourmet cook, focused the discussion on villains in the theatre and his own roles as an actor. “Villains are a favorite subject of mine,” Mr. Price said, although he admits to being a “pussycat” in real life. The appeal of movie villains like Clark Gable, James Cagney, and Humphrey Bogart has become legendary, he explained, because their characters carried with them an aura of mystique.

Last year, they made up one-third of all the applicants. Jerome Fink, the University’s pre-law advisor, claims that women have proven better achievers than men. Students f who spend their undergraduate years at the State University at Buffalo are by no guaranteed a place in means Buffalo Law School. But statistics show that a disproportionate number of those admitted are from this University. For the entering class of Sept. a total of 2,713 applications were received. Of these, 365 or almost 14 percent were from the University. Almost 42 percent (152) of the students here who applied were accepted. Of the 295 students who actually enrolled, 27 percent - or 79 were from the ’74, — Mixed criteria! — Since students are admitted on the premise that they will be successful, “there is no need to take X amount of people from any certain group.” Dr Holley explained. Those students with over a 3.0 and 625 LSAT score have usually been admitted to the Law School in the first round, while those with less than a 2.5 •and 5 50 LSAT score are automatically rejected Those in between are considered again in the second for category alternative qualifications. The only difference between that category and the third minority category. Dr. Holley emphasized, was that the Minority Admissions Committee is able to give more attention to the smaller number of minority applicants. However, he said that the difference between the GPA’s of minority white and students accepted was not significant, averaging about 0 4. 16 minority students Only entered the Law School in Sept. 1974. Charles Wallin, co-chairman of the Admissions Committee, said these figures do not reflect the admission procedure, but rather the high tuition costs. Prof. Holley observed that of approximately 40 minority students — CSHDCISIIK students. Dr. Holley stressed, “is even though the Law School does comply with Affirmative Action program. not a quota system,” originally accepted, 24 chose other, more “prestigious” schools. - University. Mr. Wallin disputed claims that an undergraduate degree here gives one a free ticket to the Law School. But since there are more applications from here than from any other single institution, more applicants from this University are accepted. Of 322 students admitted tp Buffalo Law School in September 1973, 38 were minority students. This compares with 12 minority students admitted in 1969; 35 in 1971; and 24 in 1972. Discussing the backgrounds of applicants, Mr. Wallin said that most entering law students have majored in either political science or philosophy. there pre-law However, because no set undergraduate is program, any major is acceptable. There are 800 law students in the school. The rate of attrition has declined over the last 10 years from 10 percent to about four percent last year. For this reason. 260—275 students will be admitted this year, as opposed to 300 last year. The Law School is presently considering ways of improving its admissions procedures.

To illustrate the seriousness of “seniority” and technical tools necessary to eventually improve the human conditions in their homelands. Dr. Rendon-Herror said that foreign nationals are remaining in the United States in increasing numbers. “If money is available for research and graduate experimentation, why is there no money available for the graduate engineering supprt of American minorities engineers? Why haven’t special graduate programs been established for American minorities so that they may have opportunities to participate in advanced work in engineering, or in any field in higher education for that matter?” Dr. Rendon-Herrero asks in his report. academic the inequities of graduate funding. Dr. engineering Rendon-Herrero points to the number of advanced degrees awarded to foreign nationals by this University last year. Of a total of I 14 masters degrees, 44 (38 percent) were awarded to students fr outside the United States. As far as could be determined, not one advanced engineering degree was awarded to American an Afro-American, Indian, Chicano or Puerto Rican. “Nevertheless, it appears that this trend will inevitably continue,” he said. To demonstrate the problem Puerto Ricans face in gaining entrance in American graduate engineering programs, Dr. Rendon-Herrero observed that out of a sample of 104 schools, with a total enrollment of 90,344 engineering students and an engineering faculty of 7,972, the total number of Puerto Rican students amounted percent. enrolled in engineering to 131 or 0.00145 Puerto Rican faculty representation was almost non-existent. “The combined number of American minority engineers having graduate degrees most likely to amounts to less than one percent of the total population possessing advanced degrees,” he concluded.

The pair, a man and a woman, face jail sentences of 30 years to life and 15 to 30 years, respectively, under the present Texas drug laws. After the couple stopped at a gas station in Hemphill, 1 15 miles north of Beaumont, a state police car pulled up behind their car and. according to their attorney, asked each student for identification. When the woman reached into handbag, her the trooper reportedly grabbed it and began rummaging through it The police then searched the car and allegedly found a vial of LSD "in plain sight" on the dashboard. The pair disputes this, claiming Here’s your chance to that the vial was actually in the woman’s handbag, in which case its seizure by the police might have been illegal. Difficult fight Bail is currently set at $25,000. However, it will probably be raised when the results of a lab report are released. the troopers Claims that carried out an illegal search, coupled with the seriousness of the charges, make it likely that there will be a difficult court fight. Although the attorney has been working at a reduced rate, his fees and other legal expenses could run as high as $8500.

Consequently, people from the University area are trying to establish a legal defense fund. According to Tony Grifasi, a student who is coordinating the fund raising, the defense effort needs donations that will be paid back after the parents arrange for bank loans. Mr. Grifasi is keeping accurate records of all money loaned to facilitate reimbursement in about a month. In addition, a benefit concert is being planned to raise funds. UUAB has offered its help, and Jim Santella, former disc jockey for WPHD has offered to MC any benefit.

More and more people have begun to feel the ramifications of the declining economy on their individual lives, including college students who remained in school believing their education would be a ticket to a successful career. A statistic like seven and a half million unemployed has lately become a more meaningful number, and it is clear that almost every sector of the American public would like a few answers. Unfortunately, neither President Ford nor Congress has come even close to providing any answers. Although there have been recent indications that the Ford Administration is slowly emerging from its passive "wait and see" stance, Mr. Ford is still primarily a free market man, one who believes in practically unrestrained lassez-faire economics. Fie has already made known his distaste for wage and price controls and gasoline rationing, and his refusal to enforce the Supreme Court’s desegregation decisions is but another example of his innate distrust of federal power and is consistent with everything he stands for. In short, Mr. Ford's natural inclinations run completely counter to the kinds of strong, centralized measures this country needs to create jobs and get back on its feet again. While Mr. Ford criticizes Congress for advocating social programs that are inflationary, he has bloated the defense budget beyond any rational security needs. Some of Mr. Ford's aides, notably Treasury Secretary William Simon, have urged that we not lose sight of the war against inflation in our battle with recession. Cutting defense spending, which by its very nature is inflationary, would go a long way toward reducing inflation. By criticizing the food stamp program and suggested increases in social security benefits, the administration only throws more salt on the wounds of those most severely hurt by recession while feeding a small clique of defense contractors who became millionaires as a result of the war in Indochina. Mr. Ford's dwarfed conception oj the current crisis has therefore placed an even greater burden on Congress to act quickly. Bui while Congress has wisely rejected the President's timid and regressive measures for fighting recession, it too seems oblivious to the urgency of immediate action. The $20.2 billion tax cut approved last week by the House Ways and Means Committee is far superior to Mr. Ford's proposed S16 billion cut for two reasons: it is more sensitive to individuals with incomes of less than $15,000 a year, and it spreads out the cuts between an $8 billion refund of last year's taxes and an S8.4 billion permanent tax cut. Both of these measures, coupled with the $3.8 billion reduction to businesses through increases in investment tax credit should increase the purchasing power of millions of people by Clem Colucci The following is excerpted from of the world in the last issnt o} The New York Times. Editor's note: reports on the end The world, home of the human race and all known species of plant and animal life, ended today not with a bang, but a whimper. The event itself was long awaited by sources close to the world, but the timing came as a surprise. Some had said the world would end by fire. Some, however, contended the world would end by ice. No one would say for the record how the end came. A spokesman for the Police Department said it had received a telephone call from representatives ol the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) claiming credit for the world's destruction. (In Washington, Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger denied a report that the world's end had been preceded by a “hot line’’ call from Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev to late President Gerald R. Ford. (See story, page 3J ] Announcements of the world’s end sent the stock market plummeting to an all-time low of 317 in moderate trading. This decline coincided with the release of statistic from the Labor Department showing unemployment topping the 10 percent mark for the first time since the Great Depression.

While I found Mr. Alzamora’s column to be both humorous and an apt account of the fears that beset all of us faced with graduation and impending responsibility, there is one word he used that was inaccurate. In the line. “Who are these nerds’’.” the word nerd is spelled wrong Mr Al/amora uses the word nurd (corrected spelling) with authority and it surprises me that someone who is so familiar with its proper usage could make such a gross error. I am hoping that this misspelling is in some way the fault of the printer and not Mr Al/amora's as I feel his experience with the subject of nurds is unequalled in this University and as a matter of course should be able to spell it correctly.

The answer, as any Bulls’ hockey fan knows, is senior co-captain Mike Klym. Since coming to Buffalo from Leamington, Ontario, a small farming community, Mike has been a major factor in the Bulls’ rise to respectability if not prominence, in the ECAC’s Division II. “There were four of us that came here [from Leamington], and it was easier for us to come as a group,” related Klym in an attempt to explain what drew him to Buffalo. “Doug [Bowman, high school classmate and present teammate] had a chance to go to Ohio State, and I was talking to Ohio University and Bowling Green, but we figured it would be easier to stay together.” Staff Writer The Buffalo Bulls wrestling season has been characterized by close wins with many matches narrowly saved by heavyweight Charlie Wright. Thursday night, Wright did his thing again as the Bulls defeated a hungry Brockport team 19-18. Two years ago Brockport fell 2 points short of the Bulls. After rolling over Binghamton earlier this season, the Golden Eagles must have thought the Bulls could be had this time since Binghamton beat Buffalo two weeks ago. By the time the heavies were ready to wrestle, Wright found himself in still another fo those do or die situations. The Bulls were 2 points down so he had to win. In a bout filled with cries of stalling from the hometown fans, Wright decisioned Brockport’s Mackey Tyndall. A boxing-style third period saw Wright insure his and the team’s win with a takedown in the last seven seconds. After the bout, Wright admitted that he had stalled. “I was too tired to set something up, but I knew he wouldn’t take me down,” he said. “1 guess that flu is still with me.” i\ I } ( \ »e«f«CTiTy ** gm. Last season. Bull captain John Strages had 66 points, second in the East. “He didn’t even get consideration for All-East. It wasn’t even close,” said Klym. “If he had done that in New England, he would have been All-everything.” Stranges and Klym combined to form one of the top scoring lines in the East. Mike was fourth with 63 points. Performance, not status The important thing to Mike is his performance on the ice, not the honors he earns. “When the pro scouts come out to watch you. they evaluate you on your performance on the ice, not your status." Mike said. Last summer he the Buffalo Sabres, the New York talked to three teams Islanders and the St Louis Blues. “They all suggested I go back to school and get my degree. I'm hoping for a tryout and to sign before I go to training camp," Klym commented. Klym has a gutsy attitude towards his future, with a safe alternative in his pocket. “I've got all my marbles on making pro hockey." Klym continued. “If I don’t pul all my efforts to it, I don't deserve to make it. If I don't make -Center the NHL or WHA right away, it won’t be the end-of the world." There are lower levels of pro hockey that might Buffalo's star forward Mike Klym preparing to face off in satisfy Klym for a while. If not, he will have a physical an early season contest.

Buffalo uniform for one of a professional team next year. matches over lean Brockpori Spectrum vAtq Despite Klym’s consistent performance over the four years he’s been here (178 points in 96 games), he’s never really been seriously considered for All-ECAC, All-American, or All-anything. “It’s possible that if I’d gone to a New England school. I’d have gotten more exposure,” Mike feels. Buffalo heavy wins exciting by Lynn Everard * betide BUT NOW'S m «•*« Klym sees the lack of Canadian players as part of the reason the Bulls aren’t as strong this season as they have been in previous years. “It’s evident in the teams that we play that you need the Canadians,” Mike claimed. “1 know it’s not very nice to say, but the [Canadian) talent just seems to be on a little higher level.” Contributing Editor Mistake “If I had to do it over again,” Klym continued, “there’s no way I would come here. Knowing what I know now, I figure I definitely could play Division I hockey. Now, I get up for the tough games because I want to prove I can play at that level. The better the competition, the belter I play,” Mike has proven himself by scoring 104 goals over the years, including 19 against the few Division I opponents the Bulls play. When Mike first came to Buffalo, he expected to step into a first class operation. It wasn’t long before he found out it wasn’t quite that way. “1 didin’t expect those midnight games we played at the Amherst rink,” reflected the big right wing. At that time, though, everyone just wanted to play, and no one complained. We just wanted to prove ourselves, he added. “Now, we go to places like Bowling Green and Clarkson, and we see the super set-ups they’ve got,” Mike said with a little bit of envy. — r y I I 9 by Dave Hnath 'X THAT'S HOt»f FE» Et T TH«H \ what roo oo MOW) BENNIE THINK flftOUT IT.. lf)\0 OFF FROM SCHOOL p E , l WISH As exciting as the previous match was, so too with the first. Ray Pfeifer, Buffalo’s overnight sensation at 118, upset previously undefeated Ray Porteus. The quick and aggressive freshman never let up on Porteus, tripping him, taking him down, and turning him over en route to an important 4-point superior decision. Pfeifer had also upset Syracuse’s Tim Meredith in his previous outing. Big pin The only pin of the night came at 134 where the consistent Jim Young shook off a right cross and put Scott hill to the mat. The 6 point win enabled the Bulls to win only four of ten weight classes and still win the meet. Emad Faddoul also came up with a superior decision over Blain Buccholtz. Though Faddoul dominated the match the 6’1” Buchholtz was too tall to pin. Emad did manage to score a near fall, but Buccholtz had too much leverage to be held there. Bob Martineck gave Brockport’s Division III national champion Frank Calabria a good fight at 167. Martineck stayed with Calabria in the first period and got in'a real good ride in the second, but Calabria came back in the third period to win. Page six . The Spectrum .

There is “a definite upward trend toward our goals,” Harry Jackson, realizing assistant to President Robert Ketter said Wednesday. The most significant increase occurred in the “instructional faculty” category, where 20 minority members were added. Although minority non-teaching professionals decreased by two, there was a total increase of 11 in the Civil Service category Minority groups were broken down into Blacks, four categories for recruitment Oriental. and American Indians, Spanish Blacks comprised the most significant minority group increase, with the addition of 18 faculty and non-professional positions. The number of American Indian faculty remained the same but Spanish Americans increased by eight and Orientals by three. — Thousands of complaints Minority recruitment increased across the country last year, when college and university administrators were forced to recognize demands by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) to increase employment opportunities for women and minorities. Affirmative action resulted from the Department of Labor’s efforts in the 1960’s to force labor unions and employers to open up new jobs for minority workers. Colleges have been compelled to undertake affirmative action since 1970, when women and minority groups began filing thousands of discrimination complaints with the United States Office of Civil Rights. Dr. Ketter outlined his own procedures for affirmative action last year in directives to the Vice Presidents and department chairmen. “The University is under constant scrutiny by HEW to see that we are meeting our objectives,” explained Jim De Santis, Director of University Information Services. Last spring, Democratic Assemblyman Arthur Eve charged that the University was guilty of racial discrimination in the hiring of faculty and staff. This was sharply disputed by Dr. Ketter. Familiar sources Nevertheless, several obstacles to minority and women’s hiring remain. One common practice among department chairmen is to use the “buddy-boy” system while searching for new faculty. Faculty already in the department may recommend for hiring a friend, old classmate or teacher. Relying on “prestigious” institutions such as Harvard University to recomment “bright new prospect” is a popular practice also. But the tendency is to rely on familiar sources, and many observers think it is unlikely that blacks, Puerto Ricans, Chicanos, American Indians or women will be selected in this manner. Perhaps the most basic obstacle facing qualified blacks is the tendency among many department chairmen to hire only exceptionally qualified blacks. An “ordinary” white might be hired while an “ordinary” black probably would not. At this University, the minority hiring process typically begins with an authorization for recruitment granted by the Provost’s office, which then must be, approved by the Director of Minority Faculty and Staff Recruitment. A notice is then sent to all State University campuses —continued on page 2— Proposed State budget will hurt University by Richard Korman Campus editor Governor Hugh Carey’s proposed State University budget would sharply reduce the number of personnel in Student Services and the Faculty of Nursing, and deliver a devastating blow to the University libraries by slashing the rate of book acquisition by one third. President Robert Ketter told the Faculty Senate Tuesday that will save $336,000 the recommended increase of $3.9 The budget calls for $464,000 million in the University budget in savings by cutting instructional was well below the $6,6 million supplies and expenses, space he had requested to keep the rental, student services, nuclear University “at an even keel.” But he stressed that the Governor’s budget was only a recommendation to the state legislature, and was contingent upon his simultanteous request for increased taxes. the In all likelihood, Legislature will not make any increase in the budget, and the budget requests could be reduced even further Dr. Ketter said. He explained that if the state legislature cannot support higher taxes, “one must anticipate that it [the budget) will not be this good.” The legislature must pass a final budget by April Thirty-five cuts The budget 1. necessitates science and technology, and other unspecified areas. Dr. Ketter also reported that the budget failed to include $238,000 needed to meet salary schedules for faculty members in University the United Professionals (UUP), effective July 1. “If in fact we’re going into a reduction procedure, UUP definitions will have to be followed,” he said. Dr. Ketter later noted that the UUP essentially call for dismissals to be made on a “last guidelines first fired” basis. Ketter said that while the covers line-by-line budget expenses, it does not provide for the actual costs of running the hired — Dr, a reduction of 35 positions, including five extension and public service jobs, ten in student dormitory six services, administrators, eight faculty from the School of Nursing, and six unspecified positions. These cuts University. Across-the-board Dr. Ketter said he believed the SUNY budget was prepared by the State Division of the Budget, and that Governor Carey never actually specific studied allocations. He expressed towards Albany internal cuts resentment for making in library acquisitions and Nursing Faculty making one instead of across-the-board cut. If cuts have not to be made the University should be an outside agency allowed to trim programs according to its own priorities. “Previously, we have told them they are not capable of making this judgement,” Dr. Ketter went on, noting that last year’s budget necessitated cutting two School of Nursing faculty. This year they came and cut eight more.” The University will probably engage in constant have to negotiations with the Division of the Budget from now until April, — — Dr. Ketter asserted. “Its going to be very hairy before its over,” he said. He stressed, however, that there will be no great cutbacks in academics. Reductions in a variety of and programs non-academic services total $327,000. Dr. Ketter underscored the plight of the libraries, which he feels have been hit most severely by the cutbacks. Fight to wire “Its a matter principle I will fight which to on the wire,” he said, although conceding that final financial authority rests in Albany. The library’s one-third cut in the rate of acquiring new volumes would be “devastating” to the University and the many Western New Yorkers who use the may Univeristy libraries, and possibly be a “deathblow to quality education” here, claims Charles Osborn, Assistant Director for Collection Development. Mr. Osborn explained that the type of students and faculty a University attracts, as well as the number of fellowship grants it receives, depends on the quality of the libraries. Ph.D. programs, which depend heavily on research in a specific field, will certainly be placed in the University jeopardy as libraries deteriorate, Mr. Osborn asserted. A recent State Education Department report recommended the phasing out of four History department Ph.D. programs here. —continued on page 16— �Minority faculty —continued from page 1— announcing the opening. In an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education last year, Geraldin Rickman, associate professor at the University of Cincinnati said, “affirmative action, when seen through the eyes of the average academician, conjured up images of deteriorating standards and incapable personnel somehow wending their way into the ivory tower.” Reverse discrimination Seeking to respond to increasing people, but simply specifically designate jobs for members of a to hire less-qualified and minority candidates to wants female to put sex. The idea is certain race or equally with white males. women and blacks on an equal basis, be considered s according to Peter Holmes, head of HEW Colleges have increasingly complained civil rights division. that HEW did not sufficiently spell out Competition between minorities and what they must do to prove they have women may be a potential danger. There really sought out women and minorities, is no doubt that the black movement has especially when the schools do not achieve been subverted by the women’s movement, their hiring goals. and that the women’s movement has been Unhappy with the progress of given preference in higher education, Action, some minority and of Affirmative secretary Norton, Ezra associate asserts the American Association of University women’s groups including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Professors. Federal officials and leaders of blacks (EEOC), have turned to the courts. The and women’s groups have insisted that the EEOC, a federal agency, has the authority federal government has not forced colleges to investieate complaints of discrimination. ... pressures, colleges now face a major obstacle in helping women and minorities. They must try not to be unfair to those already employed or looking for jobs, thus avoiding charges of “reverse discrimination.” Critics of affirmative action object to quota systems because they fear employers might hire female and minority candidates who are not as well-qualified as the white male applicants. To guard against that possibility, HEW last month warned institutions of higher learning not to lower job standards, or ‘ Socialist urges new controls Michael Harrington, Chairman Democratic the Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) and author of The Other America has called for the socialization of investment and national planning in the United States. Mr. Harrington told the DSOC National Convention on January 26 that the nation is in the midst of a crisis of the economic system of , so severe that even bankers are of the advocating “state planning economy.” “The issue is who will make the structural changes needed and how?” he said. “Will they come from the sophisticated corporate or from the democratic right left.” The DSOC is a 1500 member organization of labor leaders, working people, professionals, trade unionists, students, political activists, and young people who seek to establish a “socialist presence” within the Democratic Party and eventually bring about economic democracy in the U.S. and several other 4arrington of the DSOC were as delegates to the Democratic mini-convention in members elected Kansas City. The DSOC emphasizes that it will work within the Democratic Party, recently Village although Harrington run for President as a Mr. party third candidate. Harrington may enter a few presidential primaries where no liberal candidate is running, but the DSOC does not wish to splinter the Left and pave the way for a conservative or reactionary electoral victory. In a general platform statement which was approved by the Mr. delegates, Harrington called for massive deficit social spending for purposes to create full employment, national health care, drastic tax reforms to implement and taxation, progressive comprehensive energy policy. In describing the current crisis, convention he cited the Wall Street Journal's observation that oil price ijicreases are a threat only because of the economic “prior and present mismanagement by the Western governments themselves.” The massive tax breaks which the major oil companies receive from the Federal he Government, pointed out, have added up to big subsidies for big cars and the suburban middle and upper class. The Federal policy has helped to “destroy the railroads and mass transit, isolate the poor in rotting cities, and make us the most human in wasteful nation Pete Hamill recommended in a history.” Voice that Mr. Harrington also noted that article from 1969 to 1973, the Federal Government paid agri-business not to grow the equivalent of 8 billion bushels of wheat. “Our food shortage,” he said, “stems more the limitations from of corporate-oriented politics than from those imposed upon us by nature.” He blasted the idea that what is good for big business is good for the rest of the country. “Our energy and food disasters, created by precisely such a united front of business and government, are cases in point. As long as General Motors is one of our chief and energy transportation planners, Washington has got to be nice to it nicer than to auto workers who make the cars.” To restructure and rehabilitate the economy, Mr. Harrington recommended the following: Nationalize the major suppliers of the government, like Lockheed, which are already badly mismanaged and heavily subsidized by tax dollars. Nationalize the faltering corporations and banks instead of subsidizing them. When Franklin National Bank got into trouble, the Federal Reserve extended $1 billion in credits to it. Establish a national gas and oil corporation to develop new energy technology in the public interest. — — — — Place employee and public representatives on the boards of all major industrial and financial - corporations “with instructions to violate the canons of managerial secrecy and to inform the public of biased pricing, technology, plant location and other policies.” — Establish a national planning U.U.A..(B. mechanism to come up with a ten year plan for transportation and energy in the United States. Such would not be in the a plan interests of the public if it is enforced by economic planners who are “private profit-makers undemocratically designated by a vote of their own dollar bills.” Qtae JCrre Cilw Qxaamtet ' Friday, Feb. 7th FREE WOMAN Dir.

Circulation average: 14,000 Spectrum Staff Writer The Ellicott bus stop has been restored to its original location in the Core Road tunnel after a two-day move to the Gane Terrace. The order to switch back to Core Road was issued jointly by Paul Bacon, Assistant Vice President for Purchasing, and Albert Somit, Executive Vice President, following a determined campaign by the Inter-Residence Council (IRC). The first change took effect Monday morning when busriders found the coaches stopping at the Gane Terrace, an unsheltered area on the perimeter of the Ellicott Complex, rather than inside the protected Core Road tunnel. The primary reason for the change was “to attempt to better meet our schedules,” Dr. Bacon said, stressing that the buses were “subject to considerable delays by vehicles obstructing the Core Road.” This included trucks making deliveries, maintenance, service, construction and private vehicles. Protest launched The action outraged many students and that morning, IRC launched its protest by posting signs around Ellicott reading “Bitch about the bus stop.” The barrage of phone calls to President Robert Ketter’s office reportedly totaled over five hundred by 2 p.m. IRC President Leigh Weber also sent letters protesting the change to Dr. Bacon and Roger Frieday, who is in charge of bus scheduling. Mr. Weber maintained that the Gane Terrace would not be accessible to the majority of student users between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. That location would force students to wait outdoors for extended periods of time without the protection of an enclosed shelter area. The extra walking distance to the Academic Core, Mr. Weber added, could cause students to be late for classes. Traffic cop Mr. Weber proposed that a paid watchman control traffic in and out of the tunnel, and that Campus Security ticket all unauthorized vehicles parked on Core Road. In response to the problems with the Core Road location, Campus Security issued a new directive prohibiting any vehicles, except those unloading their deliveries, to park in the tunnel. This new policy includes private vehicles, in addition to maintenance, service, construction and contractors’ vehicles. Lee Griffin, Assistant Director of Security, stressed that the new directive will be enforced and tickets will be issued. “It was with the assurance that Campus Security would keep the roads clear that the decision was reversed,” added Mr. Frieday. The Administration is allowing for a short trial period and if the new directive works, the bus stop will remain in the Core Road tunnel. Friday, 7 February 1975 The Spectrum .

The link will be jointly funded by Amtrak and NYSDT. Once approved, the project will take an estimated five years to complete, at a cost of $150 million. The train will follow the existing route, although some of the stops might be dropped or combined. It has not been determined exactly which stops these will be. the completed run will take an estimated 4-1/2 hours, just over half the time it now takes. The run used to take 7-1/2 hours, but the facilities have deteriorated over recent years. Instead of two departures daily, the completed rail link will run roughly once every three hours, with more frequent service over the more heavily travelled Albany-New York section. Step by step The Albany-New York section will be completed first, and the rest will be built in stages. The first trains will be running about two years after the state approves funding for the project. Amtrak is also working on a Boston-Chicago run, via Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, and the WNY-Albany link, as ordered by the Secretary of Transportation. Because a two-mile stretch of abandoned track near Rennselaer was removed two years ago, the train must use an alternate roundabout route which detours freight tracks and hacks up 100 yards to the main line, creating a 45-minute delay. Because this is only a two-year experiment, Amtrak has decided to do without the direct link, which would cost an estimated $2-4 million. The entire Boston-Chicago run should take about 24 hours. Because of the poor condition of the track, the Boston-AIbany run takes about 5—6 hours, as opposed to 3-1/2—4 hours by bus or car.

The war continues Washington peace assembly Over two thousand WASHINGTON (LNS) anti-war activists representing a wide variety of groups, from 40 states in the U.S. and nine foreign countries gathered in Washington from January 25-27 for a three-day conference entitled “The Assembly to Save the Peace Agreement.” The Assembly was called to demand implementation of the 1973 Paris Peace Accords and to map a strategy to end all economic assistance to the regimes of Nguyen Van Thieu in Vietnam and Lon Nol in Cambodia. Organizers for the Assembly made a last minute shift to larger facilities when three times the number of people expected registered for the conference. Messages of support for the Assembly were received from the Provisional Revolutionary Government, Third Force and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The conference, which coincided with the second anniversary of the January 27 signing of the Paris Peace Agreement, was held amidst widespread concern that the Ford administration was seeking ways to increase the U.S. military commitment to the Thieu and Lon Nol regimes. - Increase in aid On January 28, the Ford administration asked Congress to approve its request of a $522 million supplemental miltiary aid package to Indochina. Three hundred million of the request is slated to go to Saigon, $220 million to Cambodia. The request is in addition to the $700 million in military appropriations Congress approved for the two regimes in August. Administration officials said the governments in Saigon and Phnom Penh had already spent the $700 million allotted them for the entire fiscal year 1975 (which ends on June 30), and that unless the supplemental aid is granted, the two regimes face “disaster.” Gerald Ford justified his January 28 request by staling. “Recent events have made it dear that North Vietnam is again trying to impose a solution by torce. Once the insurgents realize that they cannot win by force of arms, 1 believe they will look to negotiations rather than American Friends Service Committee and an organizer of the Assembly said that even New York Times, Washington Post and Boston Globe reporters assigned to Saigon agreed that Saigon had consistently violated the Peace Accords while the PRG tended to abide by it. However, the reporters told Young that stories to this affect would “never get published.” “The question isn’t whether or not the Paris Peace Agreement will be implemented, but when,” Don Luce of the Clergy and Laity Concerned told the Assembly. Sooner or later the Thieu and Lon Nol regimes will be toppled, he said, “but it is up to the American people to determine whether it happens tomorrow or five years from now, after 500,000 more lives have been lost.” Over 177,000 Indochinese people have already lost their lives in the fighting since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 1973, Assembly organizers said. And according to the Senate Subcommittee on Refugees, 1.4 million refugees have been generated in South Vietnam alone since that time. U.S. assistance Stress was laid on the fact that only U.S. over $8.17 billion since 1973 economic assistance has allowed the Saigon and Phnom Penh regimes — - to exist The PRG charges the U.S. has supplied the with over 1.5 million tons of Saigon military war “The request is little more than a holding action," Don Luce of the Clergy and Laity Concerned told the conference. Luce said if Congress approves any supplemental aid in addition to the the August, last $700 approved million Administration would have achieved the purpose of having Congress approve an escalation in the war. pcrtooo)4 HESSE'S SPRAGUE presents MAX VON SYDOV DOMNQLC SAM>V n STEPPENWOLf co-starring PERRE CLEMENT1 CARLA ROMANEU) Based on the novel by HERMANN HESSE Music by GEORGE CRLNTZ Produced by MELVIN FISHMAN and RICHARD HERLAND Executive Producer PETER L SPRAGUE Written and Directed by FRED HANES_ r | | Mil DOLBY SYSTEM | GRANADA 833-130Q 1:15,3:15,5:15,7:30,9:45 3176 Mam Si "1 ] I _ LI ammunitions and bombs since the Paris Agreement and that the U.S. maintains nearly 25,000 military and technical advisors in South Vietnam. According to PRG reports, the U.S. Embassy in Saigon alone has a staff of 3,000 people, with many of these filling military capacities. While it seems probable that Congress will refuse to grant Ford the $522 million request. Assembly participants voiced a fear that Congress may settle for a compromise appropriation. Hubert Humphrey’s name came up repeatedly during the conference as the legislator who is attempting to work out a compromise acceptable to the administration. On January 27, a delegation of Minnesotians who were part of the Assembly’s effort to lobby on Capitol Hill, was told by Humphrey that it would be “irresponsible” for him to commit himself on how he would vote on Ford’s request. Twenty members of the delegation then seized his office and occupied it for seven hours despite Humphrey’s repeated threats to call the security guards.

Dinh Ba Thi said the U.S. has consistently violated clauses in the Paris Peace Accords, including those forbidding “all interference in The internal affairs of South Vietnam” (Article IV) and those that call for the withdrawal of all United States military personnel including technical advisors (Articles V and VII). Mr. Thi also reported that Mr. Thieu recently launched air operations against Laotian and Cambodian territory and is currently engaged in land-grabbing operations in Quang Nam and Thua Thien provinces. Several Third Force representatives (non-PRG South Vietnamese opposing the Thieu regime) present at the Assembly To Save The Peace Agreement in Washington backed up ‘he PRG statement, emphasizing that Thieu would never survive a democratic political settlement. DR ' Friday, 7 February 1975 . The Spectrum . Page five �Editorial TRB Outside interference On two occasions over the past few months, outside agencies have systematically attempted to interfere with the University's internal policies. In December, for example, a statewide committee recommended phasing out four doctoral history programs here because it felt the University did not have enough internationally-recognized scholars in Medieval, Latin American, Far Eastern and European history to advise students in these areas. Just this week, the state again stuck its nose into the University's affairs by slashing the number of library acquisitions and Nursing faculty, instead of making an across-the-board cut and allowing the University to decide for itself how best to distribute the remaining funds. That bureaucrats in Albany can even consider themselves knowledgable enough to determine this University's internal needs is incomprehensible. Even more disturbing is the attempt to take local autonomy away from the state universities and colleges. In the case of the Ph.D. evaluations, the statewide committee members were predominantly outside scholars and therefore incapable of being sympathetic to the internal pressures that this University's faculty are subjected to. Since there are already established procedures for externally evaluating the University's programs, the state's actions were at once flawed and repetitive. It is no surprise that Several other institutions that went through similar evaluations have voiced complaints. As far as this year's budget is concerned, the one-third cut in the acquisition of new library books certainly will have a "devastating" effect on education here. Dr. Ketter has stressed that there will be no great cutbacks in academics, but the quality of education is in fact directly proportional to the quality of the institution's libraries. Both graduate students and faculty who wish to engage in extensive research are more likely to be attracted to a University that has excellent research facilities, i.e., a quality library system. Had the State Bureau of the Budget made a more general cut, the University would probably have been able to distribute the limited monies in a way that would have prevented one or two areas from being scapegoated. And because of the direct relationship between a University's libraries and its Ph.D. programs, the library cutbacks could coupled with the criticsm of the Ph.D. programs place the Ph.D. programs in even greater jeopardy. - - The State Education Department and Board of Regents would be wise to use restraint in their attempts to establish a monolithic educational policy for every state college and university. For if they continue to meddle in affairs where they have no expertise, the ramifications of their actions will reflect that lack of expertise. The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. Friday, 7 February 1975 53 « Ever hear of Daniel D. Tompkins? Why, fie on you! He was vice president of the United States. He belonged to the same club Nelson Rockefeller has just joined though 1 don’t think his family stashed away a billion. Yes, Tompkins was the one-heartbeat-away man for President Monroe and it would have been the “Tompkins Doctrine,” I guess, if the heart had missed. Other members of the vice-presidential club besides Rockefeller are Richard M. Johnson, George M. Dallas and Henry Wilson remember them? If you feel rather blank, they coupled up respectively with Van Buren, Polk and Grant. I will throw in William M. Wheeler, Tom Hendricks, and Garret A. Hobart (Hayes, stout fellows, no doubt, Cleveland, McKinley) though you won’t find their profiles on Mount Rushmore. And so, after two tries for the Presidency and 15 years as governor of New York, Rocky has made it and is a member of the Daniel D. Tompkins Club. I am going to spend all the spare time I can get off in 1975 from wondering how the oil consuming countries are going to pay the oil producing countries, in wondering how Rocky works things out with — - Jerry. 1 have never known a new President who didn’t promise that this time the Vice President would be put to work?; yes, that this time the spare wheel of the Executive would be rotated. It has never happened, and Lyndon Johnson, a Veep, almost ate his heart out in frustration. When he came to be President he didn’t allow any decisions to poor Hubert Humphrey either. My judgment is that chances are extremely small that Rocky will be assigned any task comparable to his ambition and ability. Still it might happen; certainly rarely in history have personalities been so ready made for something of this sort. President Ford, for example, is the perfect congressional, organizational man, almost by definition a compromiser and placator; a Congressman who became leader because he didn’t rock the boat, knew first names and was genuine and friendly. There are 535 members of Congress and they all liked Jerry Ford. Can anything more damning be said about a President? Nelson Rockefeller wouldn’t have been chosen minority leader probably, he is too competitive; there is a kind of “hi-ya fella" elemental force about him that rouses people one an activist striving for way or another something important to do, for command, some job, corresponding to his ability, wealth and immense ambition. Under a parliamentary system Mr. Ford would make an almost ideal head of state; just the man to preside with his fine family at Windsor Castle, while some pushing politician ran the shop at 10 Downing Street. All the admirable traits in Mr, Ford were on display at his ski vacation in Vail, Colorado; where he embodied the better attributes of healthy, normal America out in below-zero weather, skimming the — — Editor-in-Chief — Larry slopes of new-fallen snow. It took our mind off our troubles... the secret service learning to ski I really don’t see how the papers could have got through the dull spot between Christmas and New Year’s without those Ford photographs from Vail, the winter wonderland. Here is a situation where a dynamic Vice President might actually play an important role. The relationships of the thing are all against it. There is the natural repugnance of the monarch for the heir-presumptive. There is the jealousy of the regular White House staff for the unattached interloper. There is the ambiguity of the job itself, suspended, as Clinton Rossiter wrote, “in a constitutional limbo between executive and legislature, and in a political limbo between obscurity and glory.” Woodrow Wilson declared in exasperation, “The chief embarrassment in discussing his office is, that in explaining how little there is to be said about it, one has evidently said all there is to say.” Vice Presidents normally “balance the ticket,” what else matters? “We never speak as we pass by, Me to Jim Blaine, nor him to I.” The doggerel is supposed to reflect the hostility between the “Plummed Knight” (James G. Blaine of Maine) and his running mate, Sen. John Logan of 111., who got second place on the GOP ticket in 1884. Nixon picked Spiro Agnew because he wanted somebody from the East, somebody who looked respectable, who would please ethnic groups, and also because the Constitution required a running mate. Agnew would be our President today if it hadn’t developed that he was a crook. We are amazingly casual about these things and the procedure almost automatically couples opposites. Wendell Wilkie had never met his runningmate, Sen. Charles McNary of Oregon till they were picked in 1940. Bryan was nominated in 1896 at 36, and that seemed pretty young; they fixed it by nominating a Maine banker, Arthur Sewall as running mate; he was 81. According to Mr. Ford’s press secretary, he has made “hard and tough” decisions about economy and energy which will be revealed in his State of the Union speech, January 20. But did Mr. Ford, or events, make the decisions? If you wait long enough, events make decisions for you. The nation seems almost pleading for the federal national energy to government impose conservation, and to cut taxes to spur the economy; all signs indicate that Mr. Ford has graciously yielded. Here is a situation where Rockefeller could play an important part. He knows his way around. He has had foreign experience. He has run New York, the most populous state. But the obstacles to putting him to work are great. Mr. Ford can control and fire his every day staff, but he can’t fire the vice president, who has tenure in the Daniel D. Tompkins Club. Rockefeller’s advice might be valuable but giving it requires exquisite tact, even to a man as seemingly uncomplicated as Mr. Ford. Recently Donald Rumsfield, former Illinois congressman, smart, vigorous and 42, has replaced General Haig as chief of staff. He is in a strategic spot. So Rockefeller’s role in a heartbreak job is problematical with history against him: in two centuries the office has been vacant 17 times and for about 37 years we had no vice president. We never knew the difference. Kraftowitz Managing Editor - Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Michael O'Neill — Ronnie Selk Asst. Layout . .

When I spoke to him about a film (Dark Towers ) he was making last year with Gene Hackman, he said, "Gene for a change." There is something very plays a cop deliberate and arch about a joke like that.

Producers ) is like that Young Frankenstein doesn't depend upon having seen the original Frankenstein movie anymore than understanding that 1931 film depended upon having read Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's 1816 novel. The theme, story and even specific details of the iarly movie are so much a part of American mass cultureithat you'd almost have to be living . . . well, high atop a hill in a Transylvanian castle not to have absorbed a fair number of cliches associated with Frankenstein and lampooned in Young Frankenstein. Shelley's Frankenstein character has been the subject of over two dozen films and has been an incidental character or character-model in a shocking variety of other trash products and stories. In writing her novel, Shelley did, truly, create a Frankenstein monster. Two brains Despite the many Frankensteins haunting the culture, it is especially enlightening, I think, to consider Young Frankenstein's approach to the old horror films with particular reference to the approach director Paul Morrissey took toward the genre in his film of last year, Warhol's Frankenstein. Chances are that Mel Brooks did not have Morrissey's film in mind when he was directing Young Frankenstein , but still it happens that Brooks' film is the best answer I've seen to Morrissey's. It's as if Brooks had been slapped by Morrissey's glove, and Young Frankenstein is his acceptance of the duel. Their approaches to the same raw material are a study in contrast. Morrissey's method is to make the screen image as genuine as possible with an elaborate 3-D technique. His performers, while bizarre, never tip their hands. They are crazy, cartoonish, and yet grotesquely natural in their jarring environment. The actualization of cheapness and destruction are the two sides of the double-edged axe Morrissey has to grind. He perceives of the ugliness around even to him as deplorable, but he's learned to love it perversely prefer it. He's hooked on ruin. too. — — — — Lover With who plays Elizabeth there is a double level of awareness. Elizabeth knows she's sexy, tries to increase her sexiness by acting sexier, and therefore is not as attractive as she might have been, but she's funnier. Yet, Kahn is convinced that she's funny, tries to increase her comedic power by playing the role more broady, and therefore ends up not as funny or as bizarre as she might otherwise havy Madeline (Frankenstein's Kahn, fiancee) been.

Brooks even — he knows. ridiculed "Old last week was the abusively on campus Hollywood." imaginative Sunset Boulevard (directed by Billy Wilder whose style is similar to Brooks'). It was a more human version of Heat just as Brooks' Young Frankenstein is a more human Warhol's (Morrissey's) Frankenstein. Young Frankenstein, like Sunset Boulevard, takes a gentler approach to an old genre. Like Billy Wilder, Brooks In directing Young is a conventional parodist. Frankenstein, Brooks has his actors constantly "wink" or "play to" the audience as if to say, "Just kdding, folks!" Marty Feldman, who plays Dr. Frankenstein's deformed assistant (Igor), always has one eye on the audience. The real deformity, in fact, is Feldman's not the comic hunched back he feigns. His hypnotic eye like Brooks' wildness. It's not really wildness at wildness is it's not since it's so meticulously conceived all but hokey. It's clever, obvious and tame. His facial expressions he's aware of the camera. are like Daffy Duck's Kenneth Mars (the nutty Nazi in Brooks’ The - - - - Teamwork Wilder's lunacy appears so genuine he could easily have fit into the Morrissey film and he would have been the best, most interesting thing to watch in it, too. But Mel Brooks' conventional parody is a better vehicle for Wilder. Brooks' love and passion for the old films and his own project domesticate Wilder a little just as the love and passion of Dr. Frankenstein domesticate the film's monster. And, as it is with Dr. Frankenstein and his monster in Young Frankenstein, both parties gain. When the original Frankenstein film first appeared in 1931, the monster's identity was kept a secret. It was only later that his identity was revealed. Boris Karloff There's another surprise of the same nature in Young Frankenstein. Gene Hackman appears in the role of a blind man whom the monster meets and while Hackman gets a "credit," it's an unpublicized role and the credit appears only at the film's end. This is acute trick, but it should not obscure the stunning, engaging, gentle comedy brought to the role by Gene Hackman's total sense of the character. — - Walk this way scientists. This theme is initiated early in the film when Wilder does a brief demonstration (of involuntary reactions in the nervous system) for the students in his biology class. Wilder introduces the volunteer for the experiment (a Mr. Hilltop) as if the man were a stooge in a magician's act: "This is Mr. Hilltop," he says, "with whom I have never worked before and whom I have never seen before today." You expect Wilder to read his mind, not kick his groin. In this scene, Wilder is theatrical it calls for him to be aware of his audience. But the "audience" he shows that he is aware of is only the members of the biology class. Somehow even in this highly theatrical scene he never lets on he knows we're watching. Vet, somehow, we know — Morrissey's version of Frankenstein abusively ridiculed the "Old Hollywood Monster Films" just as his film Heat week) Wilder never "winks" at the audience. The tension between him and the rest of the film's elements is fascinating and terrific. He never goes out of his way to let in spite of the you know that he knows you're watching thematic linking of arcane science and theatricality in Young Frankenstein. This motif peaks in a scene where Wilder (as the young American brain surgeon, Dr. Frankenstein) demonstrates the coordination and skill of his monster (played by Peter Boyle of Joe ) by doing a song and dance bit to "Puttin' on the Ritz" in a theatre full of — trash. last Also Bats leading Junkie The contemptuous infatuation he shows toward the cheap old horror films and toward his audience is equaled by the contempt he feels for his movie and himself. It's all campus to him. — actors — (on film would have been just a mixed bag of forced jokes. Brooks sits in the lap of a very graceless public. The life Wilder brings to the title role transforms the film. Wilder and Brooks worked together on the screenplay. "Mel started about ten feet off the ground," says Wilder about the making of the film, "and I started about two. I think we ended about six feed off the ground without either of us making any serious compromises." He seems to be saying that Brooks is wilder, nuttier Really, Wilder is just being polite and than he. intentionally misleading. While "the ground" he speaks of seems to mean "normality,” it is actually a metaphor for "consistency" and "consideration of the film as a total entity." Brooks will go ten feet off that ground, a thousand feet why, he'll go to the moon for a gag. Wilder doesn't have to. He creates such a, full, crazy character that the jokes (or, rather, the humorous moments) grow out of that character. The "jokes" come reverts to the black and white (1:85 frame size) of the old the opposite number of Morrissey's Frankenstein flicks 3-D color technique. While Mel Brooks might imagine he's a mad March hare, he's really just as tame and predictable as a which includes Teri Garr magician's bunny.

It's funny and it's sexy and fun to do and everything like that. And second, I've seen a lot of belly dancing through friends who study it in a school in San Francisco, and I've seen women doing it for each other, making it into a real women's dance, and I have also Robert Coe by Spectrum Arts Staff I looked all over for a woman willing to write this review for me; perhaps those of you who for whatever ideological reason Daniella Gioseffi's enjoyed — performance last Friday night in Baird Hall should stop reading now. When she strode on stage I felt in the presence of an elementary school teacher from Amazonia; had the simple-minded she swell-hearted girth and good nature of my fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Hutchinson. Daniel I a Gioseffi's poetry was all breast and buttocks and "jaw thrust forward like a pelvis," and I imagine she would have enjoyed it if Lois Lane had waited a couple of days to join her on the bill. Superwoman! It was wonderful to seen almost chaste belly dancing. Ms. Gioseffi's dancing seemed seductive without, to be explicitly however, managing to suggest anything to anybody I talked to. She said that she doesn't mean to be a prude about it (it is an erotic dance) but while I accept that she is neither a professional nor an electrifying dancer, and that she has a little trouble keeping beat, I think her problem was with the idea she had that she could convey what she meant in a solo see someone so happy. I used to sink when Mrs. Hutchinson read poetry, and I kept expecting Ms. Gioseffi to break intaCasey at the Bat. She is trying to be a female Walt Whitman, and is not. She is more a Don Quixote thinking she is Sancho Panza. Lumping Dante, Abraham Lincoln and John Logan did little to convince me of her insight, nor, more germanely, did performance. Perhaps credibility lose male, but I was as bored by her dancing as I would be by Amateur Night at a Topless Bar, and for the same reasons. I I am a Why didn't she dance in a bathing suit instead of wearing a gold Cleopatra brassiere? Is she still thinking of the harem? I am her comment that "men do not let women dream." I would have thought she would have said that that's all they've let them do. After the revolution A woman friend of mine pointed out that after the cultural revolution Ms. Gioseffi kept talking about, we would not see sexual as her come-on counter productive to the messages of liberation. But for now, it was tough to see how her dance was any different from the hootchy-koo, or that she really understood what she was putting across. Sexist? because did several of my male and female friends, it was the thought that this funny dance was suppose to return to women a part of their cultural heritage that did. Ms. Gioseffi stressed that women's talent for nurture and the domestic arts is societally defined, but that it should be appreciated anyway. She wants women to have the freedom to be active and honest about their sexuality, and she was certainly an active example in that direction. Perhaps Ms. Gioseffi should travel with a .troupe of belly dancers who could recreate what she wants. We read too much into her "birth mime connected with the idea of orgasm" to be able to take it seriously. You don't mime orgasm in a Little Egypt costume and get taken seriously.

The only trouble is that it was never the harem, it was always Barnum and Bailey, and she was never hip to that. Her plumpness didn't bother me, as it Eggwoman What she handled best was the self-confessed "phony eroticism" of her delightful "egg" poem, a surrealist piece about taking a bath in 1,200 eggs. That is odd. I would have liked a woman whose of presence was incapable concession, someone who's got her self and doesn't need phony erdticism at any point. Ms. Gioseffi's lecture about the belly dance as "the oldest dance" seemed contrived gimmickery. She sees the belly dance as a prehistoric Lamaze method, a fertility ritual that was originally a magical event for women and was by the gradually co-opted patriarchal society, etc. Sounds like good stuff, and many of us were interested going in, but what we saw seemed more accurately aimed at getting into Time lOR TOAST PLUS 2 COUNTRY; you like 'em.i JFRESH EGGS, as I magazine then in turning anyone’s head around. 3 Circus 95* 3300 SHERIDAN DRIVE fc In the first place, hip people r gw GOOD FOOD RESTAURANT Hong Kong Chicken with vegetable.

Prodigal Sup �'Mr. Ricco' Escapist Dino crimebuster made as television material by Randi Schnur Arts Editor Joe Ricco can't seem to do anything the right way. On the golf course, he knocks every ball and, glancing into the sand furtively around to make sure none of his clubmates notices, sends Hank, his dog, out to retrieve them all. Unable to squeeze even a drop of toothpaste out of his empty tube, he places it carefully on the bathroom floor and stamps on it, with no more — success that he had with his afternoon golf game. He can't even control the dog; the shocked neighbor commiserating with her pregnant pet seems ready to slap lecherous old Hank and his owner with a pair of paternity suits. Joe is, however, considered to be a terrific criminal lawyer. As the sister of a prospective client puts it, "You got Frankie Steele off on a charge of murdering a woman a white woman. You've got to be one of the best." But even here, in the field in which he is an acknowledged master, Joe has his problems. The day after he gets black militant Steele's case dismissed on the grounds of insufficient evidence, he is asked to defend one of the former and suspect's closest friends Frankie Steele is on the run again, wanted for the shooting of two — — Hear 0 Israel For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 — — San Francisco policeman. Joe may be a minor hero to Frartkie's friends, but every patrolman, prison guard, and television newsman in the city appears to consider him an murder. And somebody is trying very hard to kill him. accessory to Tried and true Mr. Ricco is another average, fairly competent crimebuster melodrama, all done according to Hoyle. The rules of this particular game are well established: include a certain amount of blood, a little well-regulated sex, some more or less witty banter, a faintly quirky leading buster, and just enough excitement to sustain an hour and a half's worth of cellulois. The resulting products generally look as if they had been created for television, and have undoubtedly already found a couple of sponsors (as, indeed, have most American movies by the time they reach your neighborhood). Such films comprise the lightest form of escapist entertainment, demanding virtually no thought from anyone involved, and they can be a lot of fun if taken in small doses. They are often the last refuge of played-out actors looking for neatly constructed slots they can ease into with a minimum of effort Dean Martin, who occupies Joe Ricco's slot this time around, is a case in point. Martin's best-known his penchant for characteristic — staggering merrily through his roles, and very possibly the rest of his life, in a drunken stupor has finally turned his face into a — melancholy waterfall of sagging muscles. When drunk, he is as grotesque as any middle-aged alcoholic; but sober, as director Paul Bogart found him, he acquires a sad dignity he never had before, and the huge bags convincingly eyes under his contain the loneliness of a lawyer widowed, middle-aged with most of a city against him. He has never been more than a mediocre actor, but the role of who has ulcers and Ricco, attaches himself to a fortyish divorcee whose brains far outweight her beauty, makes Martin seem infinitely more interesting than his old easy-going, hard-drinking persona.

Tonight at 8:30 p.m. they will feature two very hot up and coming groups: Halls and Oates, and Orleans. in Orleans may well be the most versatile new group around more than one sense. First of all, they have a tendency to play musical chairs literally. They all play an average of five instruments. You don't see many acts where, after a few numbers, the drummer takes up the bass, the bass player sits down at the piano, the pianist grabs a guitar and the lead guitarist settles down behind the drums. This is more than a gimmick. It yields sounds as different as each individual — — personality. Although Orleans is only now beginning to get the attention it deserves, all the members are veterans of the stage and studio. John Hall, the lead guitarist (who with wife Johanna writes most of the group's material), has written scores for several plays, recorded two albums (apart from Orleans) and done studio work for everyone from Taj Mahal and Seals and Crofts to The Band and Bonnie Raitt (if you've heard her second album, you've heard, most of Orleans in action). Hall's most famous piece of work is probably "Half Moon," written and arranged for Janis Joplin. City of New Who? The other members have equally impressive track records. Drummer (most of the time) Wells Kelly and guitarist (among other things) Larry Hoppen were the founds of King Harvest (remember "Dancin' in the Moonlight?") as well as members of the Blues Magoos and Boffalongo, respectively. They've appeared on numerous other albums as back-up musicians. You're probably waiting for me to describe their sound now. I'm very reluctant to, because as you may have guessed by now, they do so many things so well that there is no one way to describe them. In their funky phases, they have those tight kicks and tasty lines that make The Band so irresistable. In mellow moods, their vocal harmonies are excellent.. Boogie-stompin', jazz-floaty, (here comes that cliche but I Can't help it) somehow they combine everything and come up with a new, refreshing, unique sound. Go hear 'em. It's the only way you'll know what I'm talking about. Prodigal Sun As Travison, Ricco's liberated (translate: she sleeps with his junior partner, but has her eye on Well, bozoes, Hall and Oates are two former Philly fellows who left W.C. Fields' least favorite city for the concrete pastures of the Big Apple. Their musical sensibilities find soaring expression in three albums. The first, Whole Oates is folk oriented, displaying the more fragile aspect of their musical explorations. The weakest of their three discs, it was nonetheless a portent of an emerging artistry which would refuse compromise and limitation. Next came the joyous Abandoned Luncheonette, an instant classic. Parading their Philly past. Hall and Oates produced a record that Gamble and Huff would be envious of. Perhaps the best known cut from that Ip is "She's Gone," which went utterly crazy on the soul charts. The appeal of Abandoned Luncheonette lies in a number of sparkling facets. The vocal interplay of Hall and Oates is stupendous, the songs are intelligent and melodic, and the musicianship, by the likes of drummer Bernard Purdie, is simply impeccable. If you don't have Abandoned Luncheonette in your possession, correct that oversight and buy it immediately. The delight if will bring will lighten up the grayest Buffalo days. Finally This brings us to the final chapter in the Hall and Oates saga and probably the most exciting. Desiring to capture a new sound reflecting their move to New York City, Daryl and John contacted whiz kid and mutant utopian Todd Rundgren to help them in their quest for a total music that they dubbed "city rock." With Todd producing and rendering sizzling assists. Hall and Oates forged new frontiers and gave birth to War Babies. Their latest must be heard to be believed. It is hands down one of the top five albums of 1974, a smoking synthesis of vocal pyrotechnics and electrical energy welded together by Todd's production genius and Hall and Oates' top-notch material and performing brilliance. Daryl and John are answering the grumblings and complaints of those discontent with much of contemporary rock. They will blow you away with the possibilities of rock and roll's future. Pluck down your measly three beans and lend a listen to a musical education. It all happens at Clark Gym tonight and it guarantees to be the cookingest February 7 in memory. C.P.

Page nine �Panic Theatre Good-time musical shows Panic Theatre, a unique theatre group and social organization, has been in existence on this campus for three years. From its inception as a Goodyear House Council production of Once Upon A Mattress, the theatre has branched out to include the entire university community. (Its name derives from a comic song from the show The Spanish Panic.) The theatre is currently in the first of six weeks of intense preparation for a spring musical, How Now, Dow Jones. Performances are tentatively scheduled for the first weekend in April, in the hope that by then a stage will be secured at no cost to the group, as in the past. The theatre is a club run by a executive committee, and its budget comes primarily from Student Assembly, although I.R.C. contributes extra funds occasionally. The cast also sells "boosters" advertisements for the show's program and a hat is always passed after the show. democratically-elected — Ambitious amateurs Scott Feigelstein, the club's president, defines the theatre as "an organization for non-music and non-theatre majors, primarily to give those people who've not had the opportunity to participate in musical theatre, a chance to do so."

But her freedom is defined entirely in terms of these men, created and exploited by them. A Free Woman, playing in the Norton Hall Conference Theatre tonight, is writer-director Volker Schlondorff's and writer-actress Margarethe von Trotta's film record of Elizabeth's doomed, circular search for the self. Billed as "a sad comedy," it is a comedy of the absurd, for her situation exemplifies an absurd social system; and her near-helplessness in her world of men makes it part tragedy as well. It is also a gentle, lovely portrait of a woman who senses that there is something more to be had from life than she's already found but she'll be damned if she knows where to look for it. . — — Cries and Whispers From Sweden comes director Ingmar Bergman's gorgeous film. Cries and Whispers which will be playing in the Conference Theatre tomorrow and Sunday. Cries and Whispers is a collage of moods and relationships, feelings and thoughts. A tightly-knit storyline submerges frequently while episodic flashbacks twist through the story's pattern. Maria (played by Liv Ullmann) is wicked and beautiful. She tries to rekindle a love affair with a stuffy-looking doctor who is treating her sister (Harriet Anderson). A stark triumvirate of hues rules the film: red against white, giving way to black. Every scene in the movie can be considered in terms of these three colors. Crimson blood is shed on white fabric. Ruby wine spills on bleached tablecloths. Women in white stroll about a house with red walls and carpets. They change into black dresses for a funeral. Even the credits, in red and white, suggest some of the film's visual beauty. rw Mk VV -MW -MW H AMERICAN GRAFFITI U � � � Saturday Nite � � � I Ellicott Fillmore 170 7:00 Goodyear Cafeteria 9:30 - Saul Elkin directing George Garcia and Sarah Wallens in a rehersal of Apple Pie.

This formalism pits line against line, color against color, texture against form, creating a unified whole in perpetual tension. Dominating the contemporary art scene since the forties, though it had its opening performance in the early 1900's in the work of Kadinsky, this relationship has permeated the work of both world-known and local artists, producing works of greatness and mediocrity. Such a mixed conglomeration of formalistic works photo-realist vogue, Gibson's works explore the tensions that result within the confrontation of a very realistic, three-dimensional interpretation and the inherently abstract two-dimensional picture plane. Upon seeing the works, the viewer registers the illusion of sheets of paper and packaging tape, but because of the imposition of a close viewpoint and Gibson's mastery of formal elements, the subject is taken out of normal context and an abstract pattern emerges. Thus, spatial depth and flatness alternate with shadows, creases and highlights transforming into lyrical abstract shapes. Ben Gibson reveals his fine craftmanship and color sensitivity in these works. And although they are very similar to photo-realist Stephen Posen in concept, they differ in their lyrical and atmospheric spirit. Geometry vs. brushwork Spatial tensions are also intrinsic to the large impressive paintings of James Allen, where geometric structures wage war with free individualistic brushwork. Totally abstract, a dialogue is created between flatness and spatial depth, geometry and free form, in a "push and pull" of pictorial elements. Allen goes beyond abstract expressionist Hans Hoffman who originally formulated the "push and pull" principle. Instead of individual elements reacting with one another, the entire plane works as a cohesive whole. The viewer is directed to grasping the whole, rather than examining individual relations within Rosary presents itself to the viewer in "Selected Works: Hill College Art Faculty" now on view in the Member's Gallery at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery until February 16. In this exhibit, six individual artists reflect the different styles, sensibilities and concerns within the broad range of formalism. Conflict of illusion Very crisp, sharp forms confront the viewed with a photographic realism and yet, at the same time, retain their abstract nature in the works of Ben Gibson. Of the the pictorial plane. Even Allen's prints reveal an interplay between geometry and free form, though it is toned down by the often humorous subject matter. James Allen's works are well worth the viewer's time and are a fine tribute to the intellectual nature of art. Down with drips Unfortunately, Stephen Clippenger's and David Barraclough's works, which also deal with an interplay between an underlying geometric structure and free forms, don't even begin to approach the timeless limbo that Allen's work does. They verge on what has become a standard abstract expressionist pasttime: playing with especially the greens drips. Though his colors are rich Clippenger fails to create a forceful work of interaction in Page twelve The Spectrum . Friday, 7 February 1975 . — — the majority of the works presented. Where collage and pencil is utilized with paint, a tension begins to emerge, marking those areas as the most successful. Barraclough uses an underlying grid structure marked in pencil upon which garist strokes of color diagonally fly across, often forming cross patterns. At times, this creates an exciting spatial tension and rhythmic pattern, but it doesn't hold continually throughout and regresses into an unimaginative abstract expressionist rut. Just pretty Organic, flowing forms interconnect and separate in the silkscreen prints of Charles Monday emitting a feeling of growth within the landscape motif. Vet, the series tends to be too repetitious without any sign of development and the show-card colors combined with the landscape motif pushes the works into the category of decoration. Transcending any specific art movement, the very individual works of James Kuo delight the viewer with their poetry. Underlying the basic formal interactions there is a spiritual wholeness and unity which gives the works their lyrical quality. A strong organic energy pervades amongst the definitive brushwork in "New Era" and rich earthy tones containing much depth contribute to the poetry of "Vista" and "Composition No. 3." Kuo's work embodies the elemental forces of nature and life, and in so doing communicates to the inner spirit of the viewer and transcends time as art should. Prodigal Sun �Our Weekly Reader WHITEWALL TIRE SALE Mobil Cushion 78 Jaws by Peter Benchley (Bantam Books, paper) Medium cars $27.00 Small cars $25.00 Large cars In the past few years the publishing industry has inundated with novels dealing with the supernatural events which terrorize unknown families and communities. Writers had seemingly discovered a previously untouched vein which they proceeded to tap again and again until the public could take no more. Jaws is a novel which attempts to shock and terrify, in this instance without the supernatural aspect. At this it fails dully. In the opening chapter Christine Watkins, a twentyish drifter, goes for a midnight swim after making love on the beach. As her drunken companion lies sleeping on the sand, unaware of the danger the girl is in, she is attacked by a killer shark and savagely torn to pieces. The description of this first attack is chillingly realistic, horrifyingly accurate.

Of course, the shark strikes again, taking two more victims. When Brody ultimately does prohibit use of the beaches it is too late; he has become everyone's scapegoat. From this point, the action of the novel is far too predictable. Brody's wife, Ellen, tired and bored with her middle-class life, longs for the carefree and affluent existence she had before she married. So, when a handsome young icthyologist arrives to study Carcharodon carcharias and turns out to be the younger brother of a boy she dated years earlier, the outcome is evident. Peter Benchley's first novel can not possibly sustain the suspense and'excitement of the first few pages. By the third killing, one tends to react as he might to televised violence. However, the ultimate mistake is Benchley's attempt to give each of his characters his "just reward" in the last chapters, somewhat like a medieval morality tale.

First time in 'A suspense to strong I wat unable to pot it down.’ - In these times when harsh realism is prevalent in the arts, it is comforting to know that in the paperback section of your bookstore you can find a novel like Ararat, that completely envelopes you in the ups and downs of its fictional characters. Ararat by Elgin Groseclose was extremely successful when it first appeared in hardcover form in 1939 and was on the best seller lists for months. It received three major literary awards: The National Book Award, The American Booksellers Award, and The Foundation for Literature Award. After 30 years Pocket Books has decided to release this book again in paperback form. Written before World War II, Ararat lacks the cynicism of many post war novels. It is a novel of simplistic beauty, sheer and deep delight FESTIVAL AND of newcomer, intended it that Winner of the National Book Award, Award, rite American and the Foundation for literature Award spiritualistic meaning. Ararat deals with the persecution and the nationalistic desires of the Armenians of Turkey and Russia during the years 1895 and 1918, reflecting the suffering, yearning and despair of a people without a homeland. Caught in events which these people cannot control, they are swept from province to province in search of a place to live. However, by the end of the novel it is not only the Armenians who find their world upside down. The Russian Revolution displaces all social structure and the Russian aristrocracy is thrown into chaos. There is a touch of irony here because in this situation, the peasants adapt to their new situations better than the nobles because of their experience. Groseclose uses this social disorder to insert philosophical problems. Questions such as: "What is man's purpose in life?," "What is the meaning of life?" and "How significant is life?" are all raised and answered in this novel. Ararat's dialogue is excellently written, concise where it should be, lengthy when it is needed. I could easily see this book transformed into a screenplay. There is an American priest, Amos Lyle, who acts as spiritual and political leader of a group of Turkish Armenians. Charlton Heston would be excellent as this unyielding religious man. Sophia Loren would be perfect as the beautiful Persian Girl Sirani, who runs an orphanage with Lyle. Ararat will cause you to experience the whole spectrum of emotions, from love to hate, tear and sadness. You might even shed a tear over this exceptionally moving novel. I haven't read as invigorating a novel as Ararat in quite a long time and I strongly recommend it for those who would like to get lost in its charm for a few hours. —Robert Topaz Friday, 7 February 1975 .

Bob Dylan Blood on the Tracks (Columbia) "You're an idiot babe It's a wonder you still know how to breathe. A man's worth can best be measured by the greatness he inspires in others. For years Bob Dylan inspired us with his dystopian juxtaposition of outrage and imagination. And now, at 35, Dylan is angry again. But the man is no longer lashing out at the warmongers and politicians. Instead, more than a decade after first telling us, "I've " got nothing to live up to anymore," Dylan is shouting viciously at those who wrongly idolized him, that indeed he's got nothing to live up to anymore. Blood on the Tracks is not a great album. The initial cuts on both sides suck, and a touch of self-pity and banality permeates some of the love/hate lyrics on this album. But Dylan does make a significant contribution here, nevertheless, with his particular ability to make us feel and laugh and cry. Skip down to "Idiot Wind," the fourth song on side one, and immerse yourself in the complex anger of Robert Zimmerman. Dylan reached deep into his psyche for this cut, and he comes up fighting all the con men and conditioners. It is an important and painful lesson for we who face the frustrations of the "Idiot Wind" day after day. Stopping in Dallas last night, I saw a disgusting but classic example of the idiot wind: a postcard highlighting John Kennedy's assassination. How can people put fucking death on a postcard like it was a baseball card depicting a famous world series game?

He still plays for Joe London), two tracks were songs written by the Walsh. Yet with "talent" like his and support from the family he may Pretty Things. The Pretty Things concept album S.E. hit the big time, perhaps even the Fillmore East. But seriously, this Sorrow predated Tommy and was supposedly an little disc has a charm of its own. It's not great, but it sure is pretty. Roller Coaster Weekend Is nothing like any of the old James Gang Ips. The songs are a cross between Joe Walsh and Rick Derringer. Consequently, both these guitar masters slide and jive throughout the album. A little strange? So what! When Walsh gets a strummin' and Derringer a slidin', your foot starts a stompin' with your ears a buzzin'. It's really nice. But all that glitters is not gold and this Ip is no exception. Vitale's pix on the cover resembles Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees. And if that doesn't make you wonder, just think about the title a while. It all adds up to this album being chock full of hyped up bubble gum rock. Gee whiz! Watch out Donny Osmond, 'cause Joe Vitale's coming. The first cut, "Roller Coaster Weekend," is a teeny hopper's theme song. A funky little number about soda pop, good times and going steady; it's a great opener. A crow bar and tin snips keep time, while two undiscovered artists synchronize hand claps. You have to hear it to carefully — — — — believe it. The All American Boy also gets his thumb in the pie with "Mad Man." This song fits Derringer's hard driving image and his guitar work is fabulous. He gets back to basic rhythms and you can picture him romping around, doing his stuff. And Vitale even does a little flute melody that adds some sparkle to the heavy tempo. This song should certainly soar to the Top 40. Roller Coaster Weekend, however is not a dream come true. Although the album is refreshing, it is loosely produced. The songs are cut, but far from perfect you can pick out each player doing his own thing on almost every cut. If the members played more as a unit, it would make a big difference. Vitale should really stick to his drumming and leave the vocals for someone who can sing. The lyrics are precious on cuts like "School Yard Is there lack of rock 'n roll What could be wrong, / don'tknow Is there lack of rock 'n roll.

Friday .7 February -1975 , one) is without a doubt the dedication song to Jon, One sees her looking in his direction with loving tenderness as he sits in the sound booth. Like all the others, it is too stylized to come off. Barbra also tries on David Bowie's "Life On Mars," a 1970's glitter-child piece, but there's really nothing more than a lot of fancy mixing and echo chambers galore. "Since I Don't Have You" is supposed to show how a 1950's grease piece can be made into a serious ballad. Unlike her work on "Happy Days," she will not be called on to sing this one. It's forgettable and quite unexciting. "Love in the Afternoon" is my favorite. Although the lyrics are silly, there is an airiness in the way it's sung and a breezy feeling of an afternoon in May. "Crying Time" is Barbra's country western tune (her harmonies are appropriately handled, but overall it's trite) and "Let the Good Times Roll" falls flat. Essentially, the sincerity is gone and just the vocal qiachinery remains. In Butterfly there's the feeling that she's just doing a job and has forgotten —Ron Sandberg about the process of creating. After listening to Silk Torpedo, it is apparent that the Pretty Things are for real. While they might be a bit overhyped they still deliver the goods and acquit themselves quite handsomely. The band's chief asset is its ability to render driving rock thunder in a tasty and palatable form. Whereas just heavy-handed heavy metalists like BTO bludgeon the listener to death with monotonous repetition, the Pretty Things encase their rock and roll with fine vocals and a full understanding of how to gain maximum mileage from their material. Phil May screams, hems and haws and groans, yet manages to sound perfectly spontaneous belting out the lyrics. While May eloquently stammers and slurs, the remainder of the group's vocal work offsets May's turbulent and frenzied lyrical approach with a lilting and sweet quality. This creates a contrast that permits the music to convey a strong urgency neatly underscored by an emotional fragility and ambivalence. The usual massive doses of ennui generally associated with much hard rock are bypassed. Instead of a simplistic one-dimensionality, the Pretty Things inject a dash of complexity and cleverness to produce a diverting variation on a theme. Their last Ip, Freeway Madness, contained some charming parodies of the Beatles and the Stones that succeeded on their own terms as well. Silk Torpedo, released on Zeppelin's Swan Song label, shows the Pretty Things continuing the good time evidenced on Freeway Madness. From the lush strings and carnival horns of "Is It Only Love” to the furious, explosive charge of "Singapore Silk Torpedo" they exercise their command of the rock idiom. They seem equally at ease with a sentimental ballad or a gin-spiked rocker; their eclectic repertoire smiles influence on Pete Townshend in creating the Who's milestone rock opera. For a group to inhabit the fickle rock scene and to keep an almost nonexistent profile on this side of the Atlantic is an astonishing feat in itself. Their following here has consisted mainly of esoteric anglophiles with a cultish predisposition. Pretty Things was also an influence on the likes of the sweetly. Stones and Led Zeppelin. What can be made of all Silk Torpedo isn't a masterpiece but it is slick, this? A steaming pile of hype and public relations credible and pleasing. Silk Torpedo is too close to a bullshit or a fine band that has toiled too long in direct hit not to warrant a salvo of justly deserved obscurity? merest -C.P Park as Prodigal Sun �Brand ofpropaganda To the Editor.

That Mr. Krebhiel mentioned a secret Israeli attack upon the Egyptian air base in 1967, while failing to mention that this attack was prompted by Egypt’s blockade of Israel’s Gulf of Aquaba. In his letter last Wednesday, he mentioned my contentions, and rather than attempting to refute them he proceeded to accuse me of being one-sided in failing to deal with the problems of the Palestinian people in my letter. My response is that my intention was not to write an exhaustive essay on the Middle East; I was merely trying to point out that his article was a great deal less than honest in his condemnation of Zionism in general, and Israel in particular. He dealt quite adequately with the problems of the Palestinian people in his article. In his letter he makes still more reckless charges. He speaks of the “displacement of thousands of is JC: May I be of help? G: You can help.us just fine, Beardo, if you stay out of the way. JC: The elderly woman seems to have collapsed.

Listen, Beardo, if you machine spurt Palestinians from their traditional homeland upon creation of the State of Israel.” He refuses to mention, however, that this displacement occurred because these Palestinians chose to leave Palestine in 1948 when a horde of Arab nations sought to destroy the infant state of Israel. Those Palestinians who did not leave retain their homes and many rights they never had under the British mandate. Next, he speaks of “the continual expansion of Israel by annexing territory from neighboring states,” while omitting the fact that each territorial expansion has been the result of acts of aggression on the part of Israel’s neighbors. Thirdly, he cites “scores of authors” and a biographer of Ben Gurion to prove the existence of “racialist” (?) theories of Zionism. There have been hundreds of authors on Zionism, all of whom do not consider it a “racialist philosophy.” To understand Zionism it is necessary to examine its roots in the suffering of the European ghetto, and the slaughter of six million human beings by Nazi Germany, a task Mr. Krebhiel obviously has no taste for. Finally, Mr. Krebhiel construes the United Nations vote granting the P.L.O. observer status as a recognition by a majority of people and nations around the world of the justice of the P.L.O.’s cause. Really, Mr. Krebhiel, is it possible that you have never heard of oil? There is only one honest reality present in Mr. Krebhiel’s writing, and that is the reality of human suffering. Yes, Mr. Krebhiel, the Palestinian people are suffering, as well as the Israelis, as well as the Arab people in general. This suffering can only be alleviated when each side can cut through enough rhetoric, to begin to see the other side’s point of view. It will never be alleviated by your brand of Jesus you’re invited to the church picnic this afternoon, provided you leave your donkey behind. G: He’s crapped on the sidewalk, Andy!

To begin with, the infamous “Aud” reminds us avid Knick fans of the dilapidated 69th Street Regent Armory that the Knicks played in during the 40’s and 50’s. Finding your seat one must wander the dark corridors which is like the dungeons in horror movies. Regarding the mockery of the Knicks All-STar backcourt one can only laugh at such a remark as “Walt the Clod Frazier.” We need not remind you well informed Buffalo fans of the MVP of this year’s All-Star game. On any given night the Pearl can make circles around any Buffalo-starting five, including Ernie “No D!!” Such “great” starters as Gar Heard, a big, dumb muscleman, rejected from Chicago, Lee Winfield, who scrapes the bottom of the barrel, not to mention hot-headed, over the hill, Jack Marin. We add that the Knicks have trouble getting up for any NBA team other than Boston and Milwaukee, and teams of the caliber of Buffalo only lull Clyde to sleep. Playoff time, is when the omnipotent Knicks awaken. We’ll see you then Buffalo, if you don’t choke. Maybe if Bob MacAdoo gets hurt, you can suit up Jack Ramsey and all of your ignorant Buffalo fans can fill his shoes. Wrong line of work Perhaps the writer, like the performer on the To the Editor.

But a critic who finds it impossible to locate the middle ground between “black pools” and “Olympian peaks” seems to be in the wrong line of work. O.K., granted, critics can get carried away. Well until the critic in question does get carried away, this reader feebly attempts to verbalize his own mental reaction: verbal fluff.

Joy Clark’s report on the women’s a basketball team’s loss to Buffalo State shows women attempting to compete rather than watch. The recent and rapid growth of women’s athletics is clearly related to women’s liberation and the new freedom of women to explore opportunities in all aspects of life. David Rubin’s feature story on cheerleading, on the other hand, presents a more traditional example of women’s involvement in athletics. Cheerleading is a supportive role, one which presents women in a manner that is physically appealing. It continues to be accepted as an athletic extension of “girl watching.” Some forms of athletic participation, like tennis, swimming and gymnastics, have been accepted for femal participation due partly to the fact that they also display the feminine physique in an appealing manner. There’s nothing particularly attractive about a woman playing basketball. Of course, there is nothing particuarly attractive about a man playing basketball either. However, it was only recently that society came to realize that both sexes have an equal right to this and other sports. But some men still haven’t conceded this point yet. In this day and age, particularly at this mstitution, cheerleading is an anachronism. The skirts are straight out of the fifties and the chants are corny. One might even say it is childish. But that Sports is an area that need be taken seriously only by the pa/ticipants themselves. The rest of us, the spectators and even sportswriters, can appreciate it for the fantasy world that it is. Why shouldn’t this fantasy include something unreal like pretty girls screaming inane cheers? The girls cheer simply because they’re having fun. In our complex society, with so precious few ways left to really have fun, acting like a kid every now and then should be encouraged rather than discouraged. If you lose your youthful exuberance when you’re 18 or 21, what are you going to be like when you’re 45. Think about it. Now I know what some of you are saying. Sure the world is a serious place with some serious problems. Things like racism, sexism, starvation, unemployment, disease, inflation, crime, drug abuse, repression and censorship are not to be taken lightly. But you’re not going to solve any of them before lunch. Take out five minutes find yourself a pair of scissors and cut paper dolls out of this newspaper. It might be the most fun you’ve had all week. —continued from page 1 — a Univeristy requested libraries acquisition budget of $1,133,351, which took into account a $165,000 inflation The factor of about 15 percent, and $200,000 for improvement, for a total request of $1,498,351. Reduced purchasing power The projected retrenchment mandated by the Division of the BUdget of 20,000 volumes would save $304,000. This figure, added to a $67,000 inflation factor of 8 amounts percent to a total acquisition budget of $896,351. This cut, coupled with high inflation, would reduce the libraries’ purchasing power by 38 percent, according to Mr. Osborn. In other words, the University would only be able to buy 62 percent of the books in 1975-76 Getting back to the original paradox, what we that it would have been able to have here is a case of conflicting stigmas. Girls that in 1974-75. buy want to play are branded by men who don’t think “For a University with 55 should.

True to back up the freedom for women will only come when each allow for resources Mr. program,” Osborn said. woman can do whatever she wants, play or cheer or A University study comparing both, without fear of criticism. state universities across the Keep cheering girls. country shows that while this University’s 55 Ph.D. programs are far below the average of 78, the total number of volumes here 1,482,902 is also well below the average total of 3,417,261 volumes at the other schools. Similarly, the 14,162 current periodical subsriptions is lower than the 46,504 average of the comparison group. A comparison of Universities which have collections nearly the same size as this school’s reveals that the average number of Ph.D. programs is 42, thirteen fewer - — — than exist here A comparison of Universities with nearly the same number of Ph.D. programs (an average of 55) reveals that the average number of total volumes is 1,852,009, nearly 401),000 books more, on the average, than at this University. The average number of current periodical subscriptions (23,496) is also well above the number here (14,162). The University’s location in Western New York, where there are “no other large libraries to cooperate with,” also presents problems, Mr. Osborn pointed out. The large Health Science departments here, along with an expanding Law Library, significantly increase the total number of volumes and pose similar obstacles at budget time. Although the 1.5 million volume coliection here,does not compare favorably with similar schools across the country, it is the largest in the SUNY system. Dr. Ketter indicated that this may have been part of the reason for the budget cuts. “We library 20.000 sought to increase our acquisition figure by volumes. They not only didn’t give us what we asked for, but they asked us to reduce our acquisition figure by another 20.000 volumes,” Dr. Ketter said. The University will request thaU $304,000 be restored to the budget for the acquisition of the 20.000 volumes and an nine percent inflation $130,000.

Rubin Spectrum support.” Staff Writer Back in the fifties, when breasts and brawn were more important than books and brains on the high school scene, it was expected that cheerleaders would be escorted by football players on Saturday nights. During the day, they would cheer on their beaus with screams of “Beat ’em, bust ’em, that’s our custom.” However, now that women are fighting for an equal place in society, cheerleading to be appears something of an anachronism. Football, is gone at this University and the girls no longer cheer for basketball. But Buffalo does have cheerleaders in two sports wrestling and hockey; and their chants have been updated to fit the times. “Roll him over, pin him flat. Fight! Fight! Fight!,” and “Set it up, put it in.” - It appears that Young and Reis are as devoted to their cheerleading as they claim. The wrestling cheerleaders have sold candy and have collected enough contributions to buy uniforms. They travel at their own expense to many away meets. The hockey cheerleaders managed to secure $100 from the Student Association (SA) to cover uniforms, but they had no funds to pay for practice time on the ice. Undaunted, they resigned themselves to the bleachers until hockey button and shirt sales along with a sizable contribution from Father Fischer and the Newman Center put them on the ice. If the girls followed the trend of the seventies, they would be scoring their own goals on a women’s field hockey team instead of cheering for players like Mike Klym and Doug Bowman. Same motivation Despite this massive facelift of school sports, cheerleading at Buffalo has learned to adapt to new surroundings with relatively few changes. The skirts are still short and the hand motions remain the same. More importantly, the motivation behind the hoarse throats really hasn’t changed either. “We aim to get the crowd screaming,” said Judi Young, captain of the wrestling cheerleaders. Dee Reis, Young’s hockey counterpart added, “We try to get more The art of ogling When the hockey cheerleaders skate out during intermission, fans do more ogling than listening, another apparent conflict with the goals of most women today. Elizabeth Kennedy, assistant professor of American Studies and member of Women’s Studies College, said: “There’s nO need to excite people through the use of beauty objects. Cheerleading is a bad use of women. “1 think a lot of women do it because we all do dehumanizing things,” Dr. added, that predicting Kennedy cheerleading will change radically as society adjusts to the changing roles of relieved when we walked in late. They know we’re always going to be there.” women The cheerleaders, on the other hand, do not feel demeaned. “You get it [ogling] all the time,” Reis commented, “but it’s not part of what 1 do.” “In a way, 1 think it’s complimentary,” added Young. “I know that they [the wrestlers) enjoy having us. When we were in Oswego, the guys were Not dehumanized Young, Reis and their cohorts enjoy cheerleading and do not feel that they are dehumanizing themselves. Of course, their minds are open to change. Asked her reaction to having men on the squad, Reis replied, “Okay, if they can help us. They don’t have to wear the skirts, though.” Statistics box Poor rebounding Women cagers bow 41 39 by Joy Clark Staff Writer rebounding fell apart.

Even with all this against them, “the girls really never let up,” said Barone. The lead didn’t change hands until there were only 51 seconds left. in the game, especially when Clyde O’Malley got hit with three controversial traveling violations in the last eight minutes. “Both coaches thought the officiating took away game,” declared from the Thomas. Star center Ann Trapper will have the cast removed from her fractured ankle February 19 but, until then, Thomas must adjust to a team without a “big man.” “We have to find a combination that can handle the rebounding,” she said, “and move more to the outside shot.” Spectrum women’s 'basketball team dominated most of the contest last Tuesday night before losing to Buffalo State, 41-39.

Chris Barone made some flashy steals and long outside shots, helping Buffalo to 17-13 half-time lead. made some adjustments under the boards in the second half, and the Bulls’ Buffalo Thomas was about the team’s happy performance, despite the loss. “I was much more pleased with our passing game and the movement on the floor,” she commented.

With the exception of the State University at Buffalo, all SUNY campuses have decided to postpone the referendum. “We felt there is a need to get student feedback on these important issues,” said Michele Smith, Student Association (SA) national affairs coordinator. “We are voting on the constitution reforms anyway, and this will be a good chance to get further input,” she explained. The mandatory status of the activity fee on each campus is to determined every four years by referendum, according tp the. be University Mandatory Fee Guidelines. The postponement was State by the Chancellor’s University-wide Task Force recommended first on Student Activity Fees. The task force concluded that a one year postponement would also allow students to vote on any revision of the policy on student activity fees which may result from its forthcoming report. The task force is currently reviewing the method by which activity fee-supported programs and activities are funded. Possibilities for obtaining other methods of funding are also consideration. Group is studying bill of rights for students A committee formed to develop a student bill of rights is presently gathering ideas for an initial draft later this month. Under the direction of Ron Stein, associate director of the Office of Student Affairs, the committee will use an American Bar Association model for student rights as a guide. Investigations have also probed the particular needs of interest groups and the relevance of existing student rights. In addition to Dr. Stein, the committee includes Hilary Lowell, Student Association (SA) Student Rights George Boger, Coordinator, Graduate Student Association Student Rights ( G S A ) Coordinator, Sharon O’Farrell, Student Rights Coordinator for Millard Fillmore College; Ron Doleman, Asst, to the Director of Student Affairs; and Bob Burrick, a student who is working on the project for independent study credit. Each member is examining the specific needs of his departments and compiling data on such areas as academic rights, resident rights, discipline, graduate student rights, the rights of student organizations! and the general constitutional rights to petition, speech, press and assembly. Inquiry Mr. Burrick has been inquiring into several existing bills of rights at colleges throughout the country. One of these, Harvard University, has adopted a “Resolution on Rights and Regulations,” which states that student rights are fundamentally The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

He noted that the Universities df Pittsburgh and Connecticut have established excellent programs to handle grievances which could easily be adapted to University’s needs. suit this mechanism Concept considered The concept of a student bill of rights has been tossed around for years in universities and by student organizations, including the Student Association of State Universities (SASU), but has failed to become a reality, according to Mr. Burrick, ‘‘because students are crisis-oriented, and tend to deal only with specific problems.” Mr. Stein said the bill will finally provide students with a concrete foundation for any legal question. “Probably the greatest value of the bill could be its use for legal cases outside the confines of the University,” he said. The committee will meet Feb. 18 to make the first rough draft. Once the bill has been finalized by the committee, it will be submitted to the various student organizations for their approval. SA MINORITY AFFAIRS BLACK STUDENT UNION present LOUIS FARRAKHAN Sub-Board and a member of the FSA Board of Directors, to increase faculty and student representation on the FSA general membership.

However Dr. Ketter indicated he would support altering the FSA for “legitimate reasons.” on the Board, which is currently elected from the Sincere fears Mr. Hochman explained that the motion, which membership. a Student an amendment to the FSA by-laws, only stipulates is In' addition, FSA approved membership. But Mr. Association (SA) recommendation giving the Board changes in the corporation’s of Directors authority to increase the size of the Board: After presenting his proposal, Mr. Hochman was informed by FSA Secretary Charles Balkin that the motion could not be brought to a binding vote because Mr. Hochman had changed some wording in the original proposal. Mr. Balkin noted that the newly worded motion would have to be presented to the members at least ten days before any vote, according to FSA by-laws. Irresponsible FSA members agreed to discuss the recommendation anyway, however, and allowed a “straw vote” to give Mr. Hochman some indication of their feelings about the proposal. The straw vote was inconclusive and the matter will be brought up at the next meeting within two weeks. Mr. Hochman argued that increased student representation was important because the professional schools at the University Law, Dental, and Medical have no influence in FSA operations. If faculty and students determine that a particular policy should be enacted, the administration presently can unilaterally block any action, he - .u- on? explained. Ed Doty, vice-president for Operations and Systems and FSA treasurer, a steady opponent of increased student influence, indicated that students and faculty are not responsible enough to run FSA efficiently. Years ago, he said, a student and faculty-operated FSA Board was giving ten percent rebates to Bookstore customers at a time when the store was losing money. But students at the University have proven they are responsible, Mr. Hochman claimed, citing the improvements in Sub-Board’s operations this year. - — Rich Hochman Santos Doty viewed it as an opportunity to change the make-up of the entire Board of Directors. These are “sincerely advanced fears,” Dr. Hull added. Additionally, Mr. Balkin said any increase in voting members would result in too much discussion, which would prevent business from being conducted efficiently. It would also be too difficult to get a quorum for meetings, he claimed. Mr. Letter said his proposal would not hamper discussions, adding that the PSS is convinced that its representatives will never be elected to the Board under the present circumstances. “We feel disenfranchised,” he remarked. While Mr. Doty explained that FSA meetings are Full responsibility Rotter MacAllister Hull, Dean of the Graduate School usually open and anyone can be heard, Mr. as useful as heard was not being maintained that was and newly-elected member of the FSA Board, as an “active and PSS should be able to act voting. the endanger that might opposed to any change position of President Robert Ketter, who is equal partner,” he asserted.

While he doubts that the mandatory fee will be defeated in this week’s voting, Dr. Fritz feels that if it is, the state might pick up the tab for athletics at least until something else could be worked out. “If the fee were made voluntary it might force a decision on the part of the state,” he said. The Athletic Department has long felt that only the state could fund and run the program properly. The hockey vote Despite rumors that Buffalo’s hockey players’ were instructed by their coach, Ed Wright, to vote against the fee. Dr. Fritz said that he and his staff were making no recommendations to the athletes at all. If a voluntary fee were instituted and students had to designate how they wanted their money spent, Dr. Fritz feels athletics would still fair relatively well. It is generally believed, however, that this system would not provide a sum anywhere near the present athletic budget. Student Association President Frank Jackalone disagreed with Dr. Fritz’ assessment. “The University has never accepted that arrangement,” Mr. Jackalone said, referring to a system by which voluntary fees collected by the bursar could be sent to specific groups. He cited the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) and New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG) as organizations that attempted such an arrangement and failed. Separate athletic fee Mr. Jackalone said it would violate SUNY guidelines to establish a separate fee for athletics.” Even if it were possible for the Student Assembly to break down a voluntary fee into several categories, athletics wouldn’t be one of them,” he added. But Dr. Fritz was quick to point out that at many schools students donate a lot more to athletics than they do on this campus. Mr. Jackalone insisted, however, that the state would not institute a special fee for athletics. “It is a political unreality for him [Fritz] to think that if the mandatory fee goes down, the state would pass a separate fee (for athletics].” Attention To all The Spectrum course members: REMEMBER: The Spectrum class meets every other Thursday night.

Amy 831-4113 ■ ■r : News Analysis Fate of student services to be decided in fee referendum by Amy Dunkin and Larry Kraftowitz Is a compulsory payment of $67.50 a year necessary for maintaining an adequate level of student activities and services at this University? This question, more than any of the other complex practical and philosophical issues that have surrounded the mandatory student fee, will most likely determine the outcome of this week’s referendum. Whether students are dissatisfied with the way the fee has been allocated, or opposed to a system which compels them to pay the fee or face expulsion from the University, the reality of forfeiting movies, concerts, health care, social services, publications and other services that thrive on the fee is not something students will pass off lightly as they step into the voting booth. At the same time, the allocating process has generated so much controversy over the past year that significant numbers of students may be prepared to live without it on principle. Having grown openly cynical toward a student government which they feel has become bureaucratic and increasingly isolated from student priorities, they may decide that reform can be achieved only if Student Association is faced with the reality of an empty treasury. A majority vote of “no” would constitute such reality. authority to review the budgets, the Assembly froze the entire intercollegiate budget at an emotion-filled meeting. The Assembly ultimately upheld SA President Frank Drastic step Student government officers have all but conceded that the present method of dispersing budgets is exclusionary, but they believe that eliminating the close to $1 million that the fee provides is too drastic a solution from a problem that can best be corrected through existing channels. Rather than risk the cancellation of existing programs, SA has drafted a new constitution that seeks to rectify many of its current problems. This past year, for example, the Student Assembly did not have much of a voice in determining budgets because disruptions by special interest groups at the annual spring hearings dragged the process out past the May 15 deadline. Faced with imminent athletic contract deadlines, the Executive Committee preceded to pass the entire undergraduate budget by June 1. When Assembly members returned in September expecting to pick up where they left off, they were told by Executive Committee members that the Athletic Department had been given the go-ahead to sign contracts using the figures allocated in June, and that the intercollegiate athletic budget coulg not be changed. Jackalone’s veto of the freeze after he warned that it could open the way to costly and politically damaging lawsuits. But the entire the lack of sequence of events time to review budgets in the spring, the loss of the opportunity to carefully scrutinize the budgets in September, and a growing disenchantment with what many considered, to be .an inflated focused a great athletic budget An£ry response Angered at what it considered deal of attention on the fact thatpr fd a violation of its the actual budgetary decisions had constitutionally-mandated again been left in the hands of — - & : - T- . wL; A ■' -• H jf «v •: relatively few students. By all accounts it was this factor that was probably the most direct impetus behind SA’s decision to, pursue constitutional reform. The new constitution, which must be approved this week along with the mandatory fee, provides for a Financial Assembly whose sole function would be allocating the fee in accordance with student priorities. In all fairness The creation of a specialized body to review the budgets, SA officers claim, will increase likelihood that budgets will be dispersed more fairly. Critics of the proposed constitution are quick to point out, however, that the Financial Assembly is actually a much smaller body than the Student Assembly and will therefore confine decision-making to even fewer hands.

And even though a federal court ordered black students admitted >to the state’s all white schools in 1962, the Justice Department has charged that Mississippi schools have remained essentially segregated ever since they first opened their doors. But Mississippi does not stand alone in perpetuating racial segregation in higher education. This February marks the second anniversary of a court order requiring the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) to press for desegregation in ten state school systems. Furthermore, a recent report by the Southern Education Foundation (SEF) has expanded that number, and charged that 19 states have separate higher education systems for whites and blacks. Two of the original ten states, Mississippi and Louisiana, are the objects of suits filed by the Justice Department designed to brce desegregation. Florida, Eight other states Arkansas, Georgia, Maryland, Morth Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Virginia have filed desegregation plans accepted by HEW. The Justice Department is also involved in a desegregation suit in the eleventh state, Tennessee. - — No federal action But in the eight additional Alabama, states listed by SEE Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia no official federal action in the form of suits or HEW-monitored desegregation planning has occurred. The SEE report said the 19 states operate schools where 2.6 million students are enrolled. While 50,000 students attended 35 black -only schools in the 19 states in 1954, the report said, whites comprise 5-10 percent of the 100,000 students now enrolled in those colleges. The report calculated that blacks currently make up more than 5 percent of the 2.5 million students attending formerly all-white schools. According to the report, the gap between the percentage of blacks in the general population and the percentage in public "higher education begins early proportionately fewer blacks than whites graduate from-high school. The gap then “grows progressively wider,” said the report. While 15 percent of the 90 million people in the 19 states are black, blacks account for ten percent of the public college students, four percent of the undergraduate degree recipients, two percent of the graduate and professional school enrollment, and less than one percent of the doctoral degree recipients, the report said. — — — Page four The .

He added, however, that “there is concrete evidence to support the charge that some students used a student government credit card for their own personal use.” He said also that a number of long distance phone calls were charged to the student government office. Illegal gas Blaine Schwartz, associate editor of the Stylus, said he and investigative reporter Clark Gebman found that about $5,000 worth of gasoline and S900 for repairs of privately owned cars had been paid for with the organization’s credit card. In addition, the Black Student Liberation Front, a campus group, allegedly used student government funds for “unauthorized entertainment.” “Every bit of information Mr. Gebman and I uncovered has been double and triple checked,” Mr. Schwartz asserted. Student government President, John Myers, in December authorized an audit of his organization’s funds by a private firm (Haskins and Sills of Rochester) to attempt to clarify the situation. The audit revealed that approximately $27,000 could not be accounted for by receipt or vouchers. The auditors recommended the installation of a full-time business manager to administer spending of funds. Mr. Gebman has submitted a report to the President of the college Albert Brown, outlining possible criminal charges of “fraud, forgery and attempted embezzlement.” “The president shall review the report and then forward it to the District Attorney’s office for legal action,” said Mr. Schwartz. The moratorium on spending will continue until the student government can “show accountability for its accounts,” he added. 4 6ovr«ot fiporioioco ShovW M»t Misti Yn’II Eijoj these Exotic Foots Mia Oh, Gus, it's no fuss to get a good copy (’cause you're not sloppy) and it costs only a fraction I GUSTAV 355 Norton Hall 9-5, Mon.-Fri.

The program began with an open forum with former Attica inmates who have been indicted for their participation in the uprising. More than 100 people heard Baba Tinji (Richard Fisher), Dalou Asahi (Mariano Gonzalez), Red Murphy and El-Rock Moriba answer questions about Attica and prisons in general. Tracing the roots of the uprising, the men cited their frustration and feelings of powerlessness in petitioning for change through traditional means. They explained the tension that had been building in the prison until the uprising, when it finally exploded. Explaining the failure of American prisons, Mr. Asahi asked rhetorically, “Why is the crime rate escalating? If you speak to inmates you will find that they learned nothing in prison." Negativity charged He said that prisons concentrate on negativism and not on human development potential, charging that most of the money alio ted to prisons goes to administrators and security personal, and not to programs designed for rehabilitation. Attica, along with the Kent State and Mylai killings, is a ' ! . I microcosims of American society, he said, adding, “It’s not just a prison, it is this country.” When asked if Attica had changed since the uprising, Mr. Asahi noted slight changes, but termed them “tokenism.” Prisons are not called prisons anymore, but are now referred to as “correctional facilities,” he reported. The visiting screen that used to block prisoners from visitors has been removed, but the width of the table has been doubled, making it impossible for prisoners to make physical contact with the visitor. Grievances are reported to prison guards, he continued, but it is weeks before replies, if any, are given. Inmates who are seen as “troublemakers” are still placed in special housing units or are transferred to other prisons. what is until you people get reasonable.’ The person being tried was later acquitted, as a result of that one juror’s persistence,” the participant concluded. Judges also have an influence on juries, it was mentioned. In trials they are often looked upon as the “father in the courtroom,” and jurors look at them if not “with respect,” at least “with obedience,” one speaker noted. Many jurors have become more involved in a case than they originally intended. In last year’s Wounded Knee trial, the jury formed their own group to urge the government to drop the other Wounded Knee cases, after they acquitted their own. Expendable When asked what could be learned from the uprising, Mr. happening, the has to come into Attica,” she said. Many Attica inmates have not had visitors in over a year, she went on, and prisoners who do have outside visitors are less likely to be mistreated. Asahi replied. “We learned that hostages are just as expendable as prisoners.” It also taught the men that the government is more deceptive than they realized, he said. This has been shown by the inequity of the S8 million allotment the Attica prosecution was granted, while the defense has received none of the $750,000 they had been promised, according to Mr. Asahi. The defense has been operating without funding since the indictments were handed down, he said. One observer stressed the importance of personal contact between inmates and people in the community. “In order to stop ‘Attica for all ages’ After the recent acquittal of former Attica inmate Vernon LaFranque, one 68-year-old black woman juror lined up the movie Attica" for her senior citizen group on Jefferson Ave. In response to the public's even greater ignorance about women's prisons than about men’s, members of the Women’s Prison Project read excerpts from poems ers. interviews and documents relating to women and prison The Saturday morning Saturday afternoon.

A doctor, summoned by the assistant, said the prisoner would have died if he had not seen her as soon as he did. But the inmate who had made the call received room punishment for three days for using the phone without permission. Gynecological care for women in prison is very poor, claimed workshop participants. Women are not even allowed to use tampons, allegedly for security reasons. One woman who had planned to have an kl?or>it5n before her arrest was denied permission to have the abortion by prison doctors. The Women's Prison Project is involved in many attempts to improve conditions for women prisoners. Members have been running craft classes at the Juvenile Detention Center and the Erie County Holding Center, for example. Rights deprived Members are also involved with lawyers who are preparing a class action suit for all persons awaiting trial in the holding center. The action charges that persons awaiting trial have been deprived their constitutional rights because of the “alleged use of maximum security treatment; lack of employment, recreation and training; restrictions on visits and outside contacts; inadequate health care; interference with legal preparations and access to the courts; deprivation of personal property; restrictions on mail, literature and speech; interference with the practice of religion; improper disciplinary procedures; and inadequate personal and living conditions.” Wednesday, 5 February 1975 The Spectrum Page five . . �Hurd case is not an unusual one. “The Hurd decision involves what the city pays for civil service and is a responsibility of the city,” Mr. Clark said, adding that such a decision was not in the least part irrational.

But the Erie County Department of Health is trying to break the pattern and provide inexpensive quality health care through a county-wide Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). The program, still in the planning stages, will be made possible by a $123,000 grant from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW). The grant is the first to be awarded a local government for this purpose, and, according to the county’s Assistant Health Commissioner Arthur Goshien, the county will become a model for similar organizations nationwide. An HMO consists of physicians, specialists and lab technicians who provide medical service to individuals who subscribe to their group health plan. These professionals are paid in turn with funds drawn from individual service premiums periodically collected. No restriction The Erie County Health Department now operates several regular health care centers, providing gynecologic, obstetric, psychiatric, dental and other medical services. Each center maintains its own laboratories, pharmacies, X-ray facilities and a staff of more than 100 full and part-time workers. The health care centers presently handle about 50,000 cases each year on the traditional (although discounted) fee-for-service basis, Dr. Goshien explained. A visit to a physician costs about five dollars. Although many of the centers are located in poverty areas, they are not serving only low-income communities. Dr. Goshien explained; “There is no restriction on who can get service at the centers.” HMO’s emphasize disease prevention and cut Watson Homestead down on expenses by reducing the number of hospitalized cases. [HMO’s are expected to reduce/ the number of hospitalizations by about 50 percent.] One stop The organization and the physicians must be responsive to both consumers and the federal government to maintain quality health care. Dr. Goshien described this as a “quality insurance mechanism” which is absent in private practice. In private practice, doctors make money when more people are sick, with HMO’s doctors collect more money when their patients are healthy. The problem of finding a variety of medical services has been eliminated for those who use the HMO’s, since a person needs to make only one stop for all dental and medical needs. HMO rates are the same regardless of age, health status and income, and reflect how often members use the services. The HMO also covers out-of-area situations, like auto accidents, as well as all emergency services. The Erie County planners are also trying to include medicinal prescriptions in their coverage. Pay less “This is like the industrial revolution of medicine,” Mr. Goshien said. “It gets us away from the fragmented, inefficient services to a more holistic kind. And the services are available when and where the people want them.” The fee for joining an HMO is slightly higher than for joining the available Blue Cross Shield plans, but a study showing a comparison of premiums plus “out of pocket” additions shows that HMO members consistently pay less for year-round medical care. Dt. Goshien estimated that the Erie County HMO probably will be operative by the summer of 1976.

Analysis of the Ford plan reveals a number of reasons why the resister is best advised to stay away from it. The President announced his conditional amnesty plan for Vietnam era draft evaders and military deserters on Sept. 16, 1974. The plan was based on a program of earned reentry through alternate service. As far as the President was concerned, it was an act of mercy needed to end the nation’s lingering divisiveness over the Vietnam War. Those eligible for the plan would have to: 1) appear before the appropriate authorities before Jan. 1, 1975 (They now have until March 1, since the program has been extended); 2) reaffirm their allegiance to the United States; 3) spend up to two years in public service jobs. Three groups affected Draft violators must also report to a U.S. Attorney’s office and will have any charges against them dropped upon completion of their alternate service. Military deserters go to a central processing point at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indiana UMCK Htf Bft)TA60) to sign their oath of allegiance and agree to alternate service, upon which they receive an undesirable discharge. After their alternate service they receive a new “clemency discharge.” Those already convicted of draft and desertion offenses report to the Presidential Clemency Board, which reviews their cases and may recommend clemency contingent on completion of alternate service. If appellants have served time in jail and now hold less than honorable discharges, they can receive a clemency discharge upon completion of alternate service. Even on its face, the program is controversial. Many war resisters feel that it is insulting. Their most common objection is that alternate service implies they have done something wrong, for which they must now atone. The reaffirmation of allegiance is seen as an indignity on a moral basis as well, because it ignores some of the most principled opposition to the war. When the program was announced, American exile organizations in Toronto called for a two-day conference to plan their opposition to Mr. Ford’s idea of conditional amnesty. At the conference they demanded a universal and unconditional amnesty and embarked on a concerted effort to counsel resisters away from the Ford program. Missing persons?

Statewide, only 330 people have 20 in Buffalo, signed up for the program 170 in New York City, and 140 throughout the rest of the state. The majority of these reigstrants have been military deserters, which seems perfectly reasonable considering the status of Justice and Defense Department cases against evaders and deserters. Military deserters have very good reason to believe that they are wanted by the military for their offenses and that they are, in fact, guilty of some violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. But military justice and procedure is very different from civilian justice (as practiced by the Department of Justice) and procedure (as practiced by the Selective Service System concerning draft violators). The fact is that there are unknown thousands of draft violators, either in exile or underground, who believe that they are wanted by the Justice Department and are guilty of some portion of the Selective Service Act, but in reality are neither wanted nor guilty. — Poison air The reason is simple. Thousands of indictments brought by the Justice Department against draft violators have been dropped or were never issued because of various procedural errors and illegalities committed by Selective Service during the course of the war. Explaining how this situation developed, however, is not so simple. For the fact is that thousands of draft violators are now being urged by the government to atone for crimes not committed by them, but for crimes that have been committed against them by the Selective Serivce. UB DRY CLEANERS Auto emissions account for 25% polution health hazard GRAND OPENING SPECIAL To celebrate the opening of the NEW AMHERST CAMPUS DRY CLEANING CENTER Both Centers will offer the following special from Jan 31 by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor — Feb. 14th, 1975 PANTS Have you been having a hard time breathing lately? About 4,000 people did last year and died from respiratory ailments linked directly to automobile emissions, according to a study by the National Academy of Sciences. Funded through the Seante Committee on Public Works, the Academy reported that of all health hazards caused by air pollution, ten to twenty-five percent can be traced to auto emissions. In addition, some four million worker absences are attributed to auto emissions, which aggravate bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma. Twenty percent of the population of our country is suffering impaired health by pollution related to auto emissions, the study found, with those living in the more heavily polluted urban areas affected to an even greater extent. Authors of the booklet The Earth Belongs to The People claim that estimates of auto pollution range from 25 to 50 percent of all air pollution. Although “over 80 percent of auto exhaust” is carbon monoxide, the study found more dangerous pollutants that both cars and industry emit, including “particulates, organics (hydrocarbon compound gases from incomplete combustion), nitrogen oxide (gases from burning), and sulfur oxides (gases from burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil). Companies make profits People have known about air'pollution from auto emissions for many years, yet more and more cars turn up on our nation’s highways every year. The authors of the booklet The Earth Belongs the People written in 1970, found that General to Motors products net the company over "$1.7 billion in clear profits every year,” and account for 35 percent of the air pollution tonnage in the U.S. C JL © SKIRTS SWEATER - , L & OjF CO.

They also charge that auto companies make cars to “last about three years” so that new cars must be continually produced. While many critics see a solution to the problem of pollution and waste production in the construction of mass public transit systems, the auto companies have “always led efforts to block” these plans, they conclude.

The majority of the men, and most of the women, were illiterate. They knew little Hebrew, if any. Their children were unschooled. But they, too, were the exiles, the Jews of the Orient, and they were gathered in. The leadership was always European, but it was hoped that a common education would erase all differences in the new land’s children. That was the pure old liberal doctrine; and, as we know from America, it was pure baloney. But some things are changing now, spurred on by the Yom Kippur war. The old guard was toppled, and the first native-born Israeli became Prime Minister. Politicians are learning, as Tammany had over a century ago, that immigrants can be built into a powerful political machine. Even so loved and tough a lady and pol as Golda Meir could say, not too long ago, “Unless you know Yiddish, you cannot be a real Jew.” Yet what does a dark Jew from Marrakesh know about Yiddish, that eastern European tongue? No politician is likely to make that mistake these days. There is even a Black Panther party here, to work for the dark Moroccan Jew. And, just to make things more complex, there is a native Arab population naturalized. There are Christian sects of half-score variety. There are twelve different ethnic classifications in the legal system of Israeli citizenship. Not to mention all the Arabs in occupied territories who must be given opportunities under a military rule. Obviously, Israel cannot afford to be complacent; but, then, who can? Each of the country’s universities has now created an entrance program to tutor disadvantaged Orientals and make them ready for college. At one of the northern development towns where terrorists struck Kiryat Orientals had been living at a level far Shemona below that of Israel’s pride. Since then, fifty young teachers have voluntarily gone up there, near the dangerous Syrian border, to help lift that community’s life up as a model. A government group showed us around; and one of the new teachers himself a Moroccan who has also taught in America said: “We are one body. When any limb is made to bleed, we all bleed.” Israel’s ethnic problem remains, and is serious. But the country’s response is serious, too and encouraging. — - — - - — — Activities would The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. 52 If the mandatory student fee is voted down a number of things which many of us take for granted birth control clinic, pregnancy counseling service, Sunshine House to name a few would all — — disappear.

The Ellicott party held on January 18, 1975 was, as in no way connected with you correctly stated Association only takes mandatory fee. Student your credit for what it does. - Secondly, nobody is trying to feed you any “bullshit” concerning the mandatory student fee vote on February 5, 6 and 7. The advertisements and pamphlets you see written about the fee question are to explain to all undergraduates the many activities and organizations your sixty-seven ($67.00) dollar fee makes possible. Without the mandatory fee, these organizations and activities would disappear overnight. So, before hastily voting “No” to the fee question, I suggest you come to the Mandatory Fee Forums held Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week; 12-4:00 p.m. in Haas Lounge. Perhaps then you’ll understand that bullshit is in no way involved with the upcoming vote. It’s a matter of life and death for all student activities on campus and that’s no bull! an attempt — Scott J. Salimando Executive Vice President Student Association Bourgeois media To the Editor May I protest Fredda Cohen’s treatment of the forthcoming New York Times article, the people interviewed, the people interviewing. The “Hard Times Project” was not a product of as abstruse and out-of-context editing as Cohen uses on Professor Frisch (her only qualified informant). He could not speak for the entire project, just as I cannot. He rendered an analysis, as I in brief, shall now. The object of the article was not to allow the middle class to sympathize with people who work, nor to get the ruling class to take the people they employ seriously. The people I interviewed were after survival, the quality of life, revealing the injustices of the American system, maintaining their dignity and seeking alternatives to living under oppressive conditions. The article was emblazoned with the fact that the people doing (die article (students, employed and workers) were trying to re-work the trying to find justice in Amerikka, social publicizing not misery, but action and the need for action. The way in which Cohen’s article was written and incorporated into your paper suggested that it was a 1930’s plea for help, for F.D.R. and welfare. The people who are the article speak for themselves. They can’t be oppressed by bourgeois media any more than they already have. They deserve to be heard. One way or another, they will be heard. Marcia Pragcr Fred T. Friedman (Interviewers for the projectI The whys and wherefores of the material that appears in this thing are rarely very clear to me. In that respect, as well as in several others, this column is not written. Writing requires more of an effort than this space frequently gets. From me at least, the effort expended by several generations of proofreaders is something else again. Upon occasion, a fair amount of flak has come down on my head for delving too deeply into my own head when it involves other people. Which seems rather like a legitimate bitch. Legitimate enough at least to cause me to pause and take stock of why it is that the limits of what 1 am willing to commit to paper seem different than those of some others. There seem to be no clear answers to such a question, or series of questions. 1 give myself license to begin with where my head is at the time of trying to start a column, and follow it. That is obvious. The not obvious part involves the safety which I must experience in order to poke around in the corners of my head that I choose to. Part of it is not caring about what other people do with what appears here. It is always pleasant to have somebody pick something out of this mess that they can identify with, and use to feel less isolated than before they read it. In terms of frequency this is not your run of the mill occurance. The probability is that no one says anything to me. But I still write. So it must be a more intrinsic reward. There must be at least a trace of rebellion in these things when I start to test my own limits. My suspicion centers on this; that by testing my limits in front of you and anybody else that happens along, I make it harder for myself to back down. Basically 1 am not so terribly brave. Being in painful places is nothing that seems absolutely necessary to my existence. Yea, and is even to be avoided. Having it there, under my nose, in black and newsprint, reminds me that 1 felt strong enough about whatever it is to run it down the way I felt it. It is a form of keeping a public journal. If the content is strong enough to break out here, then it must be important. Another clear piece is a belief, a not terribly sensible or defensible belief, that whether or not you tell me' about it, some of you folks get something out of this space on occasion. More precisely, the belief deals with the existence of people who are also in the business of trying to survive and get it together in whatever ways that make sense to them. If one tries to defend such a belief by examining the state of togetherness in the world about one, it clearly becomes a pseudo-religion. On what basis is it possible to rationally argue the existence of a freakish underground of people secretly working on their heads when no one is looking? So, another of my quirks is made public. Is it possible to be paranoid in a positive direction, or does that automatically become optimism? An optimistic-schizophrenic? We may have just set psychology back several years. Who was it used to do a show that had “1 know you’re out there” in it somewhere? It is important, when one has such an unsettled grasp on reality, to take one’s evidence where one finds it. For myself and at least one other renegade freak that 1 know, the new Bob Dylan album provides a totally ridiculous amount of good karma, or whatever you wish to label it. As said friend muttered the first time he heard it, “With all the rest of the shit going on in the world, what difference does it make if Dylan does a good album?” Sitting in front of a fireplace recently, we decided that regardless of whether it made any sense, it did make a difference. If you keep on struggling maybe you don’t have to lose anything; maybe, just maybe, you can survive the process of growing up with some of the good parts still intact, or so my piece seems to run. Which sounds pretty much like heresy to me, when I stop and think about it. Such optimism can lead to all sorts of unpleasant and painful feelings if one is not careful. But that is all part of the same mess apparently. As I write this 1 suddenly realize that another side of the painful stuff is knowing that you can survive it. The latest Jackson Browne album, Late For The Sky, has been enormously valuable to me over the last month. One of the things that I drew from the album was a sense of a man who was stuck with a high degree of sensitivity and his version of how to live with that. It is possible to notice all that stuff and still stay sane or at least uncommitted by the State Mental Health folks. Maybe it is not so much that misery loves company, as it is that if you are going to hurt you might as well try to handle it in a way that somebody else might get something else out of it. My lip ability to play the guitar is legendary in some circles. Several doctors have been fascinated to watch fingers turn to big toes before their very eyes. So that there is limited feasibility to my ty Sletse going the direction that Browne and Dylan took to keep themselves sane and reaching out. But it does feel at times as though you have to do something, yes? Or explode. At the end of the whole thing, I guess that is why one of these things appears with regularity. There is some catharsis on one hand, and on the other a commitment to wrestle for my soul with whatever evil spirits might be hanging around this week. This week’s bout has been a tag-team match between the purposefulness of life, and the need to be yourself, in the far corner representing the underground, against the morals of discussing other people’s private lives in print and the stupidity of optimism, representing my ... — I * grump superego. This match has been brought to you care of the Record Coop, hidden cheerfully away in the Norton Basement, wherein you can find the new Dylan, Browne’s Late For The Sky and Joni Mitchell’s live LP if you are really flush. All of whom have some things to say about how to be alive and not have to quit feeling. Take care. Pax. Wednesday, 5 February 1975 . The Spectrum , . Page eleven �Disrupt student life To the Editor. It is apparent to me that a lot of people are overlooking some of the important services that will be eliminated if mandatory student fees are voted down. Agencies like Sunshine House, Legal Aid, the Family Planning Clinic, CAC and Pregnancy Counseling are some of the services that will be impossible to adequately replace. These services are student-oriented, student-run, and totally student-funded. I am conscious of the problems that people are complaining about as far as allotment of fees goes, but to totally destroy the system will do more to hamper and disrupt student life than help it. A more appropriate response would be to get involved in changing SA in either the financial decision-making process, or by making your voice heard when priorities are discussed at SA meetings. I hope when you vote you consider the importance of these services to you and your fellow students. Bob Bertone, Director Sunshine House Elitism in the SA are also reponsible for their impotency because they make little effort to become informed or active in V/e wish to take issue with last Friday’s editorial their government.

We agree that there is a need to represent a cross section of students on campus, and take a “positive step toward rehabilitating student be made more aware of the relative merits of vital government” but the new SA constitution would not student issues. Anyone who has read the constitution can be a step in that direction. The new constitution would effectively limit plainly see that this document would give rise to the and shrink the legislative body of the students. By creation of an overly complex bureaucracy, which creating a maze of executively dominated “task would only serve to further discourage student forces,” whose members would alone constitute the participation in their government. In these times, when students are crying for Student Assembly, it would serve only to further perpetuate the control of student government by a more direct input into the decision-making processes small elite. This constitution would effectively close (i.e. the recent speakers bureau incident), there is a the door even further to direct student need for a constitution which improves the quantity and quality of student involvement in our representation in their government. Our student government must be changed. The government, rather than one which creates further way to improve it is to encourage more active obstacles to such participation. We urge students to vote against the proposed student participation in that government. The legislative body of the Student Assembly is presently constitution in today’s referendum. An elitist a frustrated, impotent body. This is largely due to constitution is not a cure for the ailment that the fact that the executive is constantly bypassing currently afflicts our government. the Assembly, producing frustration and apathy in Robert Cohen its members, and discouraging other students from Richard Sokolow joining the Assembly. Assembly members themselves To the Editor. Wearing out old material To the Editor. In the Friday, January 31, 1975 issue of The Spectrum, Sue Wos reviewed the concert that included performances by Alvin Lee and Co. I was very upset by what I read. Alvin Lee is not Alvin Lee of five years ago. Alvin Lee is Alvin Lee of today. He has new people in his band and he is playing new music. This should be to his credit. Instead of staying in the comfortable position of “leader” of the group Ten Years After, he has moved in a new and creative direction that ultimately puts his reputation on the line. But could Alvin Lee really be considered a creative artist if he stood back on his past accomplishments and whenever he toured played old stuff to nostalgic crowds? I don’t think so. He would only be hindering himself along creative lines. I once saw Bill Cosby, the comedian, and at the beginning of the show he got several requests from the audience for old routines. He politely declined them, because, as he explained, constant repitition of old material eventually wears it out, therefore affecting the reputation of the entertainer as an artist. I was one of those people yelling for old material because 1 loved it, but after listening to what he said and then listening to his show I developed a respect for him that I hadn’t had before. 1 had gone there with some pre-conceived notion of what he should be doing to entertain me. I neglected to realize that he is an artist who wanted to move in new directions and create new and funnier material, but with the feelings I had I wasn't letting him do that. It was an unfair demand on my part. Now I can understand people getting upset with Alvin Lee’s show if they had come there expecting certain material, but only if they had the right to expect that certain material. Alvin Lee and Co. came out with an album well over a month ago, before tickets went on sale for the concert, which happened to be recorded live. People who went to their recent concert had no right to expect anything, except the type of music that they are into now, which was represented very well on their new album. I’m sorry that the reviewer, Sue Wos, didn’t enjoy the show. I think Alvin Lee has shown a lot more growing ability than she has.

Prince Director, Israel Information Center Ron Hendren '"Washington by Ron Hendren A recent study has concluded that more and WASHINGTON more young people are defaulting on their federally guaranteed student loans, and that report has provided new and potent ammunition to congressmen, senators and White House aides who want an excuse to disembowel the program.

The study projects that the government will likely lose some $20 million annually in defaulted notes, about one half oe one percent of the total amount guaranteed, and about half the cost of a single C5A transport aircraft. But never mind, $20 million is $20 million, and in these perilous times a lot more people are spending a lot more time looking for ways to tighten other people’s belts. And rightly so, although the fiscal admonishers would do well to start at home. The problem is that those who are strangling abdominally are the ones who are asked, or forced, to be the first to take in still another notch. Thus it is that Social Security and medicare and medicaid recipietns, students, and others living on slim, fixed incomes that are the first to be asked to sacrifice still more. And that brings us back to the recipients of guaranteed student loans. The four volume study (which, incidentally, cost the Office of Education $180,000) found what most educators already knew: that the recipients of these loans tend to be students from families in middle and lower income brackets, and are people who for the most part would not receive formal education beyond high school were it not for this program. The study also shows that defaulters tend to be lower income persons, are more likely to be black than white, and attended poorer, less prestigious schools. Many attended trade schools. Richard L. Tombaugh, executive secretary of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators fears that “some banks will be more careful now in making loans to the kinds of students who could default.” Federal officials are already suggesting higher loan standards, and similar “solutions” will come from state officials you may be sure. The result: those who need help the most could become those to whom help is denied. A careful reading of the $180,000 study, however, suggests a different course. The study shows that defaults for students attending public and private schools decreased about threefold between 1968 and 1972, while claims from so-called “proprietary” schools increased a whopping 700 percent in this same period. This latter category includes trade schools, secretarial schools, management training schools, and a - host of other generally small institutions. Could it be that many of these schools are fly-by-night operations, the kind which often are advertised on matchbook covers, the same slick operations which bilked so many veterans in an attempt to siphon off G.l. benefits? Could the high default rate be because these schools often ask students to sign a full contract before the recipient has a chance to spend a semester determining whether the institution is able to further his or her career? This is one of the points raised to me recently by Robert M. Pickett, legislative director of the National Student Lobby. But Pickett goes further. “Because it is generally the poorer students who default, it is generally the larger loans which the government gets stuck with,” Pickett says. “I don’t believe that any student, however poor, should be put in the position of hocking himself up to his neck to meet educational expenses. Before a student should be allowed to borrow more than $1000 a year, we should be certain that all other sources part-time work opportunities and the like are exhausted.” Pickett also feels that not enough information is provided to students about their obligations and rights under loan agreements. “Most of these people are borrowing for the first time, and the kind of information they get, both about their new financial obligations and the kind of education they can expect to get for that money, is often particularly at trade schools and the like.” dreadfully poor The outcome of the legislative battle that is sure to ensue over the future of the guaranteed student loan program will hinge on how effectively these arguments are made, for the program though successful is by no means a sacred cow immune to congressional slaughter. If it dies, as that expensive study made clear, there are quite literally hundreds of thousands of young Americans who will never have the chance to get beyond high school in pursuit of formal education. - - — Vote Yes’ To the Editor.

The decrease is attributable to the declining birth rate which set in several years ago, according to John Stigimeier, director of the Department’s Information Center on Education. Furthermore, Dr. Stiegimeier says that Department projections show the decline in enrollment will continue through the early 1980’s. Commissioner of Education Ewald B. Nyquist said the continued decline in enrollment provides an opportunity of the first magnitude for school administrators and school boards to make creative plans to increase quality at the elementary and secondary levels. Contrary to the situation just a few years ago, he said, many school districts now have excess buildings and space. — The good news for the college grad seeking employment is that this year’s job outlook will only be a little worse than last year’s. The bad news is that last year’s opportunities were the worst since World War II. Just how bad the job market is depends on two factors: your chosen field and your expectations. Most surveys agree that chemical, mechanical and electrical engineers (in that order) will have the least trouble finding jobs in their field, and that professionals in accounting, sales and computer systems remain in demand by job recruiters. All other areas, according to a survey of 701 employment organizations taken by the College Placement Council (CPC), show declines in anticipated hiring; Sciences, mathematics and other technical openings are down 12 percent; business is down 11 percent, other non-technical openings are down three percent and unclassified jobs are down six percent. Hiring by state and federal governments is, however, expected to be about the same as last year. In its fall newsletter, the Civil Service Commission said that last year more than 12,000 liberal arts and other “generalist” candidates were hired out of a total 22,600 new jobs and that hiring should increase to 23,000 in 1975 although budget cutbacks could reduce that number. Women and minorities Women and minorities will continue to have an employment edge in white collar jobs, according to a 1974-75 national recruiting trend survey by Michigan State University’s placement services. The MSU survey found that 220 businesses, industries, governmental agencies and educational institutions which responded will emphasize hiring of women and minorities. Elementary and secondary level school teachers should again be feeling the job pinch. Last September, 221,000 beginning teachers were competing for only 118,000 jobs, according to The New York Times. Nevertheless in the depths of gloomy predictions, an occasional encouraging report is heard. After conducting a nationwide survey of white-collar job opportunities, Frank S. Endicott concluded that “It’s much too soon for college seniors to assume that there are not going to be any jobs for them when they graduate.” His survey found that women with bachelors degrees will find seven percent more openings this year than last, and men with bachelors degrees will find roughly one percent more. The placement director at the University of Wisconsin agreed with the Endicott report. “There are a lot more jobs than students think,” he said. “A good percentage of new graduates, especially liberal arts graduates, get depressed by what they read and hear, so they just back off ... and don’t even sample the job market. Or they take the first job that comes along and don’t push for what they should be looking for.” Grad schools Despite the fact that those with graduate degrees are among the worst affected group (17 percent fewer openings), the job shortage may be driving students into grad schools. Liberal arts graduates have found the need for more training or retraining to prepare for areas in which there may be better employment opportunities in the future. In light of the fact that a college degree can’t insure a graduate a white-collar job of his choice, educators have taken another look at the purpose of education. Many counselors have advised liberal arts majors to take a computer science or accounting course. A University of Michigan survey reported that 35 out of 42 businesses and industrial companies said they would be more willing to hire liberal arts graduates who had at least some business-related skills. At the Association of American Colleges annual meeting in Washington, D.C. educators debated whether colleges should adjust their curricula in order to insure employable skills or whether the traditional liberal arts programs should hold fast. “If we convinced him (the student] to come to college to get a liberal education and to learn, to think and play with his head, we can graduate him feeling satisfied,” said Arthur Stickgold, assistant professor of sociology at California State University at Los Angeles. “It is simply false advertising to imply that a B.A. is a meal ticket an automatic entry into middle management with unlimited career opportunities.” Terrel Bell, U.S. Commissioner of Education, however, felt that the goal of the liberal arts college must change. “Today we in education must recognize that it is our duty to provide our students with salable skills. To send young men and women into today’s world armed only with Aristotle, Freud and Hemmingway is like sending a lamb into the lion’s den.” — Changes “While this may give some districts an opportunity to close smaller, less efficient and older facilities, the greatest stress should be placed on utilizing vacant buildings for improving quality and equality of educational opportunity in many ways. This includes reducing the number of students in overcrowded schools, smaller classes, teacher self-renewal centers for the development of better teaching methods and materials, extra classrooms for peer teaching, community education centers, continuing education for adults, pre-kindergarten classes, expanded curricular offerings, better services for the handicapped, and opportunities for racially integrating school populations.” Dr. Nyquist added, “Educators have long believed in individualized attention for students. There is much in current practice which achieves this goal, but declining enrollments offer an unprecedented opportunity to fulfill it.” — Phone 875-4265 College increase Regarding college attendance, full-time enrollment in the state’s two and four-year institutions is estimated at 549,400 this fall, up form last year’s 544,000. The public institutions again show the largest gains, accounting for 338,900 students up about 5,000 from last year. Non-public colleges and universities account for 210,500 students a slight drop from last year. Other statistics reported by the Department show that the number of school districts in the State remains constant. This year there are 756 districts, one less than last year, but down sharply from the 832 in the fall of 1968. Total professional staff employed by local school districts is estimated at 210,550. This includes 183,280 classroom teachers and 27,270 other professional staff. In terms of expenditures, the state’s public schools are expected to spend slightly more than $7 billion this year. This compares with the $6.5 billion spent last year. Of this total, state aid is estimated at $2.9 billion or 41.2 percent of overall expenditures. Last year, slate aid amounted to $2.5 billion or 39.2 percent of overall expenditures. Total expenditures per pupil are estimated at $2,100 this year, up from the $1,921 figure of last school year. — - %r Su OREM EVE CRIS is financed by The Student Mandatory Fees!

And even if there is a noticeable disparity between what a student pays and what he receives, so goes the argument that the everyday taxpayer does not get a one-to-one return on his tax dollar. One proposal that seems to lie somewhere between an absolute “yes” or “no” vote calls for a checkoff system, by which students would be allowed to allocate most of their individual fees to chosen activities and services Compromise Under this set-up, students who wished to use a large portion of their fee for a particular activity would be allowed to participate in it at minimal cost. Such a method of ascertaining priorities, proponents claim, would place the allocating process literally in the hands of students, and price unpopular activites out of existence while more widely-accepted ones would expand or become less expensive. Although the Board of Trustees has allowed state universitites and colleges to the quadrennial postpone referendum for one year so that the mandatory fee guidelines can be clarifed, SA President Frank Jackalone feels it is important to determine now how the student body feels about the fee. If the fee is defeated, Mr. Jackalone has the option of immediately calling for another referendum. Cuban schools honor heroes the McCarthy era, for its alleged role in spying operations.

Since there has been no reliable information on how the contest winners are determined, the Consumer Forum urges consumers to be wary of answering Mr. Winthrop’s solicitations. This is just one of the ways in which the Consumer Forum, a non-profit organization funded by private donations, has alerted the public to false advertising and unlawful solicitations. Achieved goals After two years in Buffalo, the Consumer Forum has achieved partial success toward these goals. But public relations manager Judy Taylor says that if consumers were less willing to believe any offer and advertisement that came their way, Forum would have a much easier job. “If people were more careful about which mail they answered, we wouldn’t have half the problems we have now,” she laments. The Consumer Forum acts solely as an information dispensing bureau. Investigative work is left to such other agencies as the Better Business Bureau. The Forum uses the BBB’s files to uncover and publicize recent scandals to the public, however. Florida deals Consumer Forum has also been alerting Western New Yorkers who own land in Florida to a group calling itself Property Resale Services, Inc., which claims that it can sell its clients’ land at more than twice its purchase price. The company claims world-wide connections with land brokers and investors who are allegedly “waiting in line” to buy U.S. property. Weekly Ethos * ’ Adequate funding provided Following a successful effort to secure sufficient advertising, Ethos , the University’s literary arts magazine, has resumed regular weekly publication this semester. A funding cutback had forced the magazine to appear irregularly last semester. Last summer. Sub Board, which faced a financial crisis caused by the accumulation of past debts and reduced student government allocations, had originally intended to eliminate funding of Ethos altogether. This recommendation was drawn up by the Sub Board professional staff in line with a list of priorities set down by student representatives last July. The budget recommendation did call for Sub Board to assume all past debts incurred by Ethos while it was a branch of the organization, and suggested continued recognition of the magazine as an official student group. At the time, Ethos Supervising Editor Bruce Fisher had drawn up an austerity operating plan eliminating stipends, all unnecessary telephone service and secretarial costs in anticipation of Sub Board’s failure to come up with funds. This careful management has allowed Ethos to publish every Thursday since mid-January. / The only catch is a $325 advance fee, which will supposedly be refunded upon sale of the property. Efficient The clients later learn that all that is provided for their money is a listing of the property in a directory issued to investors and brokers.

Tired icers are overwhelmed by Dave Hnath Buffalo’s hockey Bulls completed their toughest week of the season in disappointing style last Saturday. The tired Bulls dropped a pair of overwhelming defeats to Western Michigan, looking like anything but the team that won two but of three games on the road earlier in the week. “As long as I’m coach,” remarked Buffalo’s Ed Wright, “we won’t do anything like it again.” Wright was referring to the Bulls’ six-day bus trip to New England, followed by two home games against the Broncos. “The trip took everything out of us, both mentally and physically,” he added. They started Saturday’s game as if they belonged in the same arena as the Broncos, then were blown off the ice as Western scored five unanswered goals. Poor hunting grounds “We’ve been inconsistent all year,” Wright they lamented. “This is a reflection of our talent just can’t go out and play two-way hockey, game in and game out.” The problem dates back two years, when the tuition waiver for foreign students was abolished. This forced Wright to look to the local leagues for talent. While the Buffalo area is up and coming in junior hockey circles, it still has a long way to go to reach the level of the top Canadian programs. “Western Michigan’s come a long way since becoming a varsity team two years ago,” remarked What happened? After their best performance of the season at Wright. “Just look at their roster. Most of their Salem State, Buffalo believed all they had to do was freshmen are Canadians. Wc just don’t have the show up to win. It didn't lake them long to realize talent to compete against the teams we have they were wrong. The Broncos scored two quick scheduled.” The Bulls have replaced teams like the Lockport goals in the first eight minutes setting the tone for Heinrichs, whom they played several years ago, with the rest of the weekend.

In the final match, Charlie's pinning of Bill Brown enabled the Bulls to tie Syracuse, 17-17. These heroics earned Wright The Spectrum's Athlete of the Week honors.

Wednesday, 5 February 1975 for $1,00 toward your choice o fa LARGE PIZZA i i iii* �TM Hoopsters lose in overtime by Paige Miller Staff Writer A freak play with eleven seconds left in regulation time cost the Basketball Bulls a victory Saturday night, as they bowed to Geneseo in overtime, 77-70. Buffalo’s record is now 6-10. Mike Jones’ basket, following a great pass by Gary Domzalski, put the Bulls on top, 65-63, with a little over a minute left to go in the second half. Buffalo nursed this slim lead until Otis Horne fouled Knights’ center Ed Orman. Orman missed both free-throws, but as Bull big man Sam Pellom went for the rebound, it was knocked away from him and into the basket, tying the contest with 11 seconds left. Spectrum Confusing incident Bulls assistant coach Harry Hutt claimed the ball hit Geneseo’s Gary Witter in the head and bounced in. Others thought Witter got a hand on the ball, while some asserted that Pellom had knocked it in with his head. Pellom himself was not sure what happened. Orman’s three baskets at the beginning of the overtime put Geneseo on top to stay. But the Bulls lost their last chance when they could not control any defensive rebounds late in the extra period. Two of Buffalo’s leading rebounders, Horne and Jeff Baker, had fouled out earlier. Mini - “Look at it any way you want. We lost on rebounding or we lost on free throw shooting,” said Bulls coach Leo Richardson. Buffalo developed a case of “severe Chamberlain” hitting only 10 out of 22 from the charity line. More gripes Richardson had a few unkind words for the officials, as he picked up another technical foul, his seventh of the season. “I think our kids played a hell of a ballgame, considering they had the odds stacked against them,” he said, referring to the officiating. Geneseo was also spurred on by 1500 screaming fans, something which the Bulls are unfamiliar with. Geneseo coach Tom Pope received praise for molding the Knights into a decent team. “You know they’re well coached,” said Art Garfinkle of the Bulls junior varsity squad. “They don’t have the talent, but they’re still in the game.” Richardson echoed a similar thought, noting that Geneseo, and forward Ed Robota in particular, worked very hard. The junior varsity Bulls lost in double overtime to the Officials. John McCusker of Buffalo lost a basket to an inadvertent whistle with forty-one seconds left in regulation time. With one second left in the first overtime and the score tied. Bulls guard Ron Washington was fouled but the officials sent Garfinkle to the freethrow line. Overall, the Baby Bulls were called for 1 2 more fouls in the game. —Santos Maxa Whitsford of Fredonia State rolled a high 218 game and high series of 594 (198 average) to sweep the individual honors in the U.B. Invitational Bowling Tournament last Saturday. However, a last game surge by Maxa and her teammates wasn't enough -to offset the early lead built by the balanced Brockport contingent. Three Golden Eagle women rolled a better than 500 series. Buffalo was a disappointing fifth out of six teams in the Norton Lanes event.

For New York’s Empire State College, its accreditation last month by the Middle States Association marks the first official recognition of institutionalized, independent study education. Empire State is new. Founded in 1971, the college is part of the SUNY system, although it has no campuses and does not come close to resembling the facilities and resources common to residential Survey finds students support mandatory fee campuses. The college is unique in that it allows its diverse student body to study at times and in places that do not interfere with their other duties. It makes use of all learning experiences, provided the learning can be evaluated in some way. It manages a network of educational arrangements and provides resources to meet the interests and capacities of each individual student. through close working This is accomplished relationships between Empire State and colleges, governmental and community agencies, and other organized bodies.

The random selection of undergraduate students generally that the however, agreed, allocation of these fees presently is handled poorly by the Student Association (SA). was student who Every questioned felt that the proposed voluntary collection of the $67 activity fee “could not work.” Several argued that a voluntary fee would be unfair because some like campus programs, would remain newspapers, available to all undergraduates, while others, like CAC and UUAB, would have to be restricted to fee payers. Claims that students “did not get their $67 worth” were among those who common opposed continuation of the fee. There was also a common feeling that some funded activities are not popular enough to warrant their continued support. support.” those who favored the fee, on the other hand, said it was reasonable and that the University would definitely deteriorate if the activities funded the by mandatory fee were abolished.

The war lovers always talk. 1 suppose that people who truly understand war are like people who have fortunate sex lives or genuine money; They never talk You see him in all the places where the Americans about it. But the war lovers are a special breed. They have gone in this country. He is usually about 35, his body assume that combat, bravery, the smell of death are things trimmer than it has a right to be, his chin fighting the first that do not truly exist until they have been translated into approach of jowls, the thinning hair disguised by a crew words or pictures. They must tell you. “I’ve seen some terrible things in this country, fella,” cut. He smokes too much, usually small, precisely cut cigars, and he affects an attitude of cynical bitterness. If he he said. I started to laugh. “Have you ever seen a dead has been here a few me iths, he has acquired a steady man?” he said. “Lots of good guys.” He ordered a double Vietnamese girlfriend; if he has just arrived, he puts in a lot scotch and soda. Across the street, kids were firing the last of time in the Tu Do bars, spending his money loudly, firecrackers of the Tet season. A big one went off, and the smiling a weary smile. He doesn’t really care if he ever goes captain turned his head in anger. “If those goddamned kids knew what war was like,” home. He is the war lover. I was at a table on the raised terrace of the the captain said, “they wouldn’t be making so much Continental Palace Hotel, on a day brilliant with sunshine, noise.” when one of them walked in. There it was: the measured “Forget it,” I said. “They’re only kids.” They’re only walk, half remembered from old John Wayne movies; the kids, and their older brothers are getting shot at, and in a casual flick of the cigarillo butt before climbing the three few years they Will join them. He drank the scotch quickly he was with and I reached over to light his cigarillo. “What’s war really steps to the terrace; the captain’s uniform the 173d Airborne, Bien Hoa tailor-made and razor like?” I asked. “War.” He paused dramatically, letting the word hang pressed. He sat at a table next to mine, ordered a scotch and soda, and sat staring out past the potted palms at some in the air outside his mouth. It was coming. He reached forward, his habardines squeaking again, and I wondered point in the middle distance. His face was creased by a wintry half-smile. You have seen it. Clark Gable wore it for for a moment how much he paid the Vietnamese woman the last 15 years of his life. He turned to me, the polished who starched them for him. “War,” he said slowly, letting the words drop out like freshly minted coins, “war is hell.” gabardine rustling as he leaned over. “Gotta match?” he asked. The first hours of talk with the war lovers are always “Sure.” I handed him the box of wooden matches, a the same, and the captain was no different. “We have to local brand with a dragon for a trademark, and 1 stop the Communists somewhere. These people need our remembered guys I had known in the Navy who would sew help, and we're the only people in the world with enough dragons onto the inside of their cuffs the first week out of guts to fight for them. We're going to win it. too. Boy, if boot camp. It made them salty. I wondered if the captain you could see what we've got out there. Napalm, tear gas, artillery, everything. We'll chop them to pieces. These had dragons on his cuffs. people want to be fiec." “Been here long?” he asked When the war lovers talk, the abstractions are always “No,” I said. wedded to the specific.

He had put on the I’ve-seen-terrible-things face captain was saying. “This is war.” Most of the war lovers I've talked to are five-drink again. “Boy,” he said, “lotsa luck.” I wondered if he was drunks. The captain made it to seven. Then something soft hearing a brass band. Then the captain slid his chair over and started came into hi - - droop. I asked him if he was married “Yeah, I’m married,” he said. He was staring moodily; but his eyes couldn’t locate that spot in the middle distance, and he settled for his glass. That’s the way Bogie used to do it. Boy, that Bogie. He had class. He knew what hurt mean. “I wonder what tny wife is doing,” he said to no one in particular. He took out a black elephant-hide wallet with Vietnam stamped on it in gold lettering and brought out the pictures. War lovers always carry pictures. They want you to know what they've given up. “That’s Agnes," he said, “and that’s my kids." A stocky woman in her mid-thirties stared out from the pictures, her eyes lost in the shadows from the hard sun. Behind her was a concrete house of the kind that contractors throw swiftly together around military camps. Three children two boys and a girl were posed stiffly in front of her. The boys wore corduroy pants. The captain wasn’t in the picture. I suppose he was holding Jhe - - camera. “They’re older now,” he said flatly. “When did you see her last?” “See who? Oh, Agnes. Let’s see,” he started mumbling. “Seven months, I guess. Something like that. She writes to me every week.” The waiter brought another scotch “You know something,” the captain said. His gabardines were wilting in the mid-afternoon heat. “You know, I like it here.” He seemed relieved to have said it. “Agnes doesn’t understand.” Only the war lovers understand each other. They understand that finally, after twelve years of serving in a peace-time army, they have found the real thing. They've been shooting at tin cans with the most powerful arsenal in human history, and now they can use it on people. No PTA’s for them out here. No officers’ parties. No worrying about the kids’ health or the car payments or whether Agnes can afford a new dress. Now, after giving ten years of their youth, they can do it the way they’ve only seen it done in the movies. They can be John Wayne, or Clark Gable, or Bogie; they can play fast and loose in the bars; they can enjoy the one luxury war affords the middle-aged: the chance to live again like adolescents. “I’ve seen some terrible things, boy,” he said. “I’m sure you have,” 1 said, paying the waiter. I walked across the sun-splashed terrace. The children were still popping their firecrackers. I wondered if the captair had asked to have his tour of duty extended yet. Most ol the war lovers do. 1966 Two years later Fighting in Vietnam renewing war fears Two years after the signing of the Paris peace agreement that was supposed to end the fighting in Indochina, the war continues to rage with an intensity that has renewed kindled fears of American intervention. Khmer Rouge Cambodian the insurgents now control Mekong River and all roads leading to the capital of Phnom Penh, preventing the delivery of supplies to relieve the besieged city. Vital provinces surrounding the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon have fallen to opponents of the Thieu regime. State and Defense Department officials say the North Vietnamese will move divisions into South Vietnam for a major offensive within the year. ki light of these developments, have Administration officials begun a drive to step up military aid to the Saigon government from the current budgeted level of $700 million to $1 billion. South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van has begun granting Thieu interviews with foreign journalists to drum up support for increased military aid to his government. Troop movements Administration officials have warned a skeptical, hostile Congress that although the North Vietnamese are not probably planning a major offensive in the months, they might be tempted if Congress refuses to supply additional aid to South next six Vietnam. Lt. General Daniel Graham of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), in a public briefing, said the North Vietnamese 968th strategic reserve division had moved out of Laos into South Vietnam about 10 days ago. General Graham said there was “tentative information” that two other divisions were moving from North to South Vietnam. General Graham, and Phillip C. Habib, Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian Affairs, gave several possible explanations for the North Vietnamese troop movements. They could be a feint by North Vietnam for an purpose, undetermined reinforcement for current military activities in South Vietnam and, most ominously, a preliminary build up toward a major offensive. Aid sought Meanwhile, President Thieu warned that the $300 million in military aid proposed by President Gerald Ford was the “minimum” that his forces would need to themselves from defend intensified North Vietnamese and Vietcong attacks. He' did not think the South Vietnamese army and his regime would “collapse” in 1975 without UP I the extra aid, but Mr. Thieu said “the situation will be very dangerous in 1975” unless that aid were provided. President Thieu said the morale of his troops began to drop after the American Congress cut half the Administration’s $1.4 billion request for military aid to the Saigon government last year. “Every time 1 go into the field to visit the field commanders,” Thieu “the only said, Mr. complaint is not to have enough ammunition, not to have enough mobility, enough not air support.” artillery like we have before. We have consequently more wounded.” Mr. Thieu said the South Vietnamese did not yet believe the United States had “betrayed” them, but indicated that “most of the people of South Vietnam” were beginning to believe the “lured” them into the war, were now. abandoning them.

As Dr. Kissinger, President Ford and others dined on squab and wild rice, twenty rockets and artillery shells bombarded the Phnom Penh airport in the worst attack on the airport since the shelling began January I. If the Administration insists on increasing military aid and if the fighting in Indochina increases. Congress, which is generally opposed to more aid probably will start “the whole Vietnam war debate again.” Monday, 3 February,1975 . The Spectrum . Page three �University department study to be in ‘Times’ by Fredda Cohen Spectrum Staff Writer Buffalo now has the third highest unemployment rate on the East Coast. How this has affected the lives of its citizens will be cover story of the Sunday New York Times on February 9. The article known as the Hard Times Magazine - Project was - researched and written by thirty students and from the American faculty this Department Studies at University, The student was commissioned by Sunday Times editor Harvey Shapiro as an in-depth analysis of the unemployment situation. It was researched in the tradition of Studs Terkel, who is known to interview people in an easy-going, without manner, expressive questionnaires or statistics. The was, in fact, first offered to Mr. Terkel, who after declining it, referred the Times to commission Studies American the Department. The article is based on “edited interviews that explore the nature of the unemployment situation in Buffalo, its human dimensions, implications for and its the American understanding economic growth,” explained Michael Frisch, assistant professor of History. The work was done both and collectively. Vhen the group began the project n October 1974, it met weekly to economic themes, liscuss statistics and methodology. •ndividually Sampled interviews There were a total of 80 interviews, done either randomly or with people familiar to the project members. Many members working class were of the questioned, including people on unemployment lines, middle-age people in fear of losing jobs, students with degrees who can’t find jobs, old people, women, unemployed wives, social worktrs and unemployment officials. editing committee, An faculty consisting of two members, three undergraduates and one graduate students, was then selected to determine how these would interviews structured together in be the article. The committee learned that “some of the most oppressed people have strikingly clear and analytic understanding of current Dr. circumstances,” Frisch explained. “We discovered that it would important to not only get across their pain,” he went on, “but their perceptions and ideas as well. We think it’s important that middle class readers will not only feel sorry "for them, but understand what they have to be Buffalo as a city can do very little to protect its jobs,” he continued. When asked if the people offered any solutions. Dr. Frisch responded, “Some people thought of others unions, changing threatened violence, but most just used their energies for survival. It’s a day-to-day struggle to live. It’s hard for people to think face,” The people interviewed were described as angry and helpless. They were surprisingly articulate and directed their anger at labor unions, corporations and “major built-in injustices,” Dr. Frisch said. He feels that “this points to major fundamental problems beyond in system. American the can protect Corporations themselves by moving or laying people off.” “The working people are the tail end of the whole process, and Dr. Frisch also mentioned the deception of the but this figure Niagara includes and Erie have many which counties, suburban areas and farms.

Fiedler defends open access to education Teachers brainwash He also feels the “standards” which students are supposedly failing to meet are obsolete and false. English teachers have too long accepted the role of “thought police” and enforcers of these false standards. Dr. Fiedler explained. He accused his profession of brainwashing students to favor a minority of “high art” books in a world where the majority actually prefers popular art in the form of detective stories, westerns and even pornography. “Teachers still prepare lists of great books,” which often lead to “hypocrisy and downright lying,” he asserted. The works of Shakespeare, Mark Twain and Chaucer, once considered “pop art,” have since become “high art,” he noted.

The Spectrum . Page five �i Editorial A familiar scenario like a bad nightmare come The scenario is too familiar, back to haunt and torment: The President asks for $300 million in supplemental military aid to South Vietnam. American planes begin flying reconnaissance missions over that country. Government spokesmen begin telling the world that a democratic government will be topples if American aid is not sent there soon. One would think the setting was from a 1962 novel about Cold War intrigues, but these facts have been taken straight from newspaper accounts over the last three weeks. Just two years after the signing of the Paris Peace Accords, renewed U.S. intervention in South Vietnam is now being seriously considered. As Congress decides within the next few weeks whether to again support Henry Kissinger's policy of death and destruction, one is reminded of what the climate in this country was right after the Paris Peace Accords. At that time, prominent spokesmen were concluding that the United States had finally learned how wrong it was to follow Cold War politics to their logical conclusions. There was talk of how we no longer believed that any country with a different political and economic system than ours was potentially destructive to our way of life. Learning this valuable lesson, some claimed, provided some consolation for the 50,000 Americans who were killed, countless others who lost limbs or were maimed or paralyzed for life, and a lost generation of young people whose lives, educations and whole way of thinking were permanently altered by the turbulence of the anti war movement. The subsequent Watergate scandals and the disgrace of Richard Nixon served as further grist for the mill. People spoke of how the United States had undergone an internal moral and spiritual self-examination and come out the better for it. All of this, of course, is fiction. This country has not changed at all. And the tragedy of it all is that after years observing the deceit, destruction and brutal abstractions of Henry Kissinger's policies, no lessons have been learned. Kissinger's Vietnam policies call for using American aid to prop up a right-wing dictatorship that could never stand by itself and therefore requires endless war. But Kissinger is given the choice, he would and foremost a theorist first villages burn and have a different peasant rather bomb and MyLai every day than admit the underlying fallacies and cynical brutality of his foreign policy. Considering Mr. Kissinger's enormous skill as a liar and a manipulator of Congressional egos, it would not be surprising if Congress bought his war. And that would mean, of course, that the pain, the interrupted lives, and all of the tragedy of the last 15 years will have been for naught. One scenario forsees the imminent shooting down of an American reconnaissance plane in Indochina. When that happens, Kissinger will go on nationwide T.V., and with the same pseudo-solemnity he has been using over the years, will ask for an American response. If Congress goes on believing his lies, his manipulations and the senselessness of his him death and destruction can only be around the policies — — Guest Opinion substantial by Fran Edgerton SI2.000 On February 5, 6 and 7, a referendum will be held on this campus to decide the tutur# ot the mandatory student activity fee. If precedent will is any guide, a small minority of UB students decide whether or not to retain the $67 annual fee. Views on the issue have ranged from the ardent support of the incumbent Student Assembly hierarchy to the outright opposition of Richard Siggelkow, Vice President for Student Affairs. Somewhere in the middle stands Anthony Lorenzetti, assistant Vice President for Student Affairs, who sees the question as “how fees ought to be spent.” Apologies to the SA: the fee in its present form is an untenable tax on the majority of students, especially commuters, who get little for their money. Apologies to Dr. Siggelkow: the student body here has never exhibited the cohesion or perseverance necessary to voluntarily maintain campus activities at anything approaching the current scale. Apologies to Dr. Lorenzetti: if the fee is defeated by those unhappy with the current distribution, the resulting confusion will surely hamper true reform. There is only one way to combine these views If the fee is retained, it must be with the express understanding that immediate reforms be enacted in the distribution of the fee, and later reforms enacted in the collection of the fee. First of all, athletic budget* must be reorganized to reflect the majority of students who have no participation in organized sports. This year’s estimated gate receipts for men’s sports range from S 10.000 for hockey (your S2.000 for investment, S24.000) through basketball (your investment, S26.000) to S200 for wrestling (SI 2,000). This illustrates the drain that men’s athletics has on the SA budget. More equitably, a large part of this money should be diverted to the continued expansion of women’s sports, a further subsidy of the Norton Union and other recreational facilities (S.25 bowling anyone?) and reorganization of Clark Gym and the new Amherst facility. Ideally, prime time in these areas would not be available to the seasonal men’s team but open to student use with all trainers and equipment that a varsity athlete might expect. Further, no dub or organization which is not open to all students should receive any part of a mandatory fee. This would also apply to clubs such as Schussmeisters. which require a fee from members in addition to a funding from SA. It may be that many students object to these proposals and others they may have heard recently. The final solution is a mandatory fee with voluntary distribution, i.e., a check-off system. The mechanics would be somewhat as follows. As the SA currently reserves 8 percent of its monies for operational expenses, an initial increase to perhaps 20 percent would create a reserve to cover previously incurred and contractual expenses. Each student would then be left with about $50 to “donate” in specified shares to the activities of one’s choice. The goal would be to ensure an activities survival with direct reference to the number of students participating or peripherally interested, such as athletics spectators. As an example, the UUAB Film Committees 1974-75 budget is $9,500, or roughly $.75 per fee-paying student. Thus, if 2,000 students wished to support the Film Committee, the basic check-off would be about $5, and these students would enjoy free admission to the films. Of course, these figures are somewhat hypothetical. Perhaps it would be found that a $5 check-off would be worth half-price admission and one of $10, free admission. In this way, unpopular activities would price themselves out of existence while more popular ones would expand or become less expensive as time passed. Also, it might be decided that communication media must receive basic mandatory support. The problems involved in initializing a program of this sort are well within the capabilities of our campus resources in statistics, management and computing. Now each student must decide how to vote in the coming referendum. An affirmative vote will indicate either satisfaction with the status quo or a desire to use the current structure as a basis for reform. A negative vote will indicate either complete dissatisfaction or a desire for immediate radical reform. Unfortunately, the ballot presents a simple yes-no question which will not elicit these differences in opinion. This writer urges that those students wishing reform vote as they see fit and immediately call (831-5507), write or go to the SA offices (205 Norton) and demand that a second referendum be called before next year's budgets can be finalized. This referendum must include the real questions of specific reforms including institution of a check-off system. Rather than vote on a simplistic question once every four years, yes or no to the mandatory fee, seize the opportunity to vote with your wallet each year. — — corner.

Monday, 3 February 1975 Vote against the fee Ambiguous Assembly To the Editor To the Editor. The Student Association has repeatedly proven itself incapable of allotting the mandatory student fees in an equitable way. Many expenditures (i.e., secretarial fees, telephones, stipends, “disbursing fees,” large allocations for special interest groups), one would think, would have no place in the Student Association budget. I’m sure everyone remembers the extortion-like tactics many groups seeking funding employed last spring. Most students could think of a better plan for supporting student activities in the present SA system. But nothing will be done until the students demonstrate their dissatisfaction. One plan would be an optional student activities fee with ID cards going to those who pay for it. In this way the allotment of the student activities fee would either be more responsive to the students supporting it, or lose its support. Another plan would be the reduction of student activities fees to cover only those activities most broadly participated in by the student body. A vote against mandatory student activities fees is not a vote against student activities on this campus, but is rather a vote against the current system of collecting and disbursing the monies. As Chief Justice of the Student Wide Judiciary, I was asked to participate in Wednesday’s Student Assembly meeting concerning the controversy over the actions of Stan Morrow of the Speakers’ Bureau. While the Assembly ultimately reached the goal that the Judiciary was seeking, i.e., a clarification of its directive to Mr. Morrow to get William Kunstler to speak here, it did so in a less than commendable manner. I was particularly angered by the attempt of some individuals to put Mr. Morrow on trial before the Assembly. While they may personally disagree with Mr. Morrow’s actions, they have absolutely no right to place him on trial. Only the Judiciary has that power, and based on the total information presented before it, it is convinced that Mr. Morrow has at no time violated the Assembly’s directive. When presented with an extremely ambiguous motion by the Assembly, he had no alternative but to act on it based on his interpretation of it. If the fault lies anywhere, it lies with the Assembly itself and its repeated inability to express itself clearly. I only hope that in the future the Assembly will conduct itself in a more organized, efficient manner and thus prevent such confusion from recurring. Larry Katz James Wiesenfeld President, ASCt' Chief Justice Student Wide Judiciary �They really lost To the Editor •ft ‘HELLO—JIMMY THE GREEK? I WANT TO GET SOME ODDS For the record concerning the firing of most of the Day Care Center staff: On Monday. 13 direct offers of jobs in the “new” center were made to two members of the staff; at the same time it became known that there were 10 staff positions in all to be filled. That evening, special delivery letters were sent to the parents, urging them to register their children by the 16th. At the end of the week, when it became clear what had happened, it was too late for an exhausted group of parents and staff to make, another effort. In the meantime, the administration had allowed all the other staff members to go through hiring interviews for their own jobs, before telling them all (except for the cook) that they would not be needed. At this point, apparently the end of an episode in the effort to maintain day care at UB, it's probably worth reflecting on the reasons why the campaign to preserve the Center would necessarily end in most of the staff members losing their jobs. In spite of the mood of torpor and disillusionment that has descended on University campuses in recent years, UB remains relatively unreconstructed. Neither fraternities nor ROTC nor football has returned, and though there are many different reasons for this, the main one is simply that on the whole they are not wanted. Although there is little activism as in the 'past, a large number of the TA’s and faculty here continue to believe in the human, anti-institutional ideals of the 60’s, and that belief helps to give UB what it has of a distinctive tone or character. Consequently, when the Center threatened to go under, the strength of the support that we found among the students, departments and even among the provosts Faculty Senate surprised almost everyone, including ourselves. It is no secret to anyone that Dr. Ketter does not share in the belief in these ideals or feel that the University has, in this sense, a character that deserves to be respected. When the Center lost its Student Association funding at the beginning of the fall semester, he assumed that it would simply disappear, and did nothing to prevent it. There followed the campaign to turn the administration around, during which the campaigners did and said a number of things which Dr. Ketter and his associates were and probably still are not very happy about. But the unforgivable part, from their point of view, was that it all seemed so unnecessary, that all the trouble had been caused solely by a small exhibitionist group of staff and parents who so Dr. Ketter indicated he had come under the influence of student thought radicals. That was not to be forgotten, and though the parents were not vulnerable, the staff members . Outside Log ine In by Clem Colucci I was passing the unemployment officfe in Washington, D.C., when I saw my former Congressman, Cadwallader Buncombe, standing in line waiting for his check. He had been turned out in November and I had not seen him since election night. “Hello, Congressman Buncombe,” I said “Good morning, my boy. Good to see you. er . . .” He tapped the shoulder of the young man in front of him. The young man turned. It was Gil, his former administrative assistant. He greeted me and whispered my name to Mr. Buncombe. “Ah yes, of course, 1 know your father well. How’s the business doing?” he asked. “Not bad, things are a bit slow, though.” “I know what you mean, my boy. The opportunities just aren’t as plentiful as they used to be. I’m having trouble deciding where to go next." “That’s why you’re in the unemployment line, right. Congressman?” “As a taxpayer myself and let me say when I was in Congress 1 did my best to see that each taxpayer’s dollar was spent wisely I think I’m entitled to the benefits while 1 take the time to be sure I don’t jump into the wrong job.” “What about the old law firm, Congressman?” He had been a partner in Buncombe, Mendacity, and Prevarication, a prominent local firm. It had started small, but after Mr. Buncombe’s years as city councilor, mayor and Congressman, it had grown to be the biggest corporate office in the area. “The other partners retired a few years back," he said. “That’s’too bad.” “Yes, but my share when they liquidated the practice helped ease the pain.” “I’m sure.” “And I can proudly say the firm never abused my position when dealing with the federal - - government.” Mr. Buncombe fell silent and went inside to pick up his check. I struck up a conversation with Gil, whom I had known before he became the Congressman’s aide. “None of the new batch need an assistant?” 1 asked “No, they came in with lOU’s to pay off. The one who beat the Bunk (Congressman Buncombe’s nickname) brought in his campaign manager,” “How about the Bunk-M What’s he going to do?” “Who knows? None of the big law firms here want him.

And he wants to stay here Potomac fever.” “What about lobbying?" “He was ranking minority member of the Joint Committee on Office Space and Suuply Allocation. No lobbyist even bothered approaching him. for a favor, let alone a job offer." “Did he try for a job in the Administration?" “Sure, he and everyone else who lost.

In a recent letter to The Spectrum , Gerald List criticized an article I wrote on the Middle East, referring to it as “a pile of assorted misrepresentations” that should have been put in the “waste-basket.” Further, 1 was charged with being “either an ignoramus, a bigot, or both” because I failed to mention the Yom Kippur War, and the “Egyptian blockade of a vital Israeli port” during the 1967 war. First, it seems strange that a man such as Mr. List, who is so interested in truth and objective journalism, would fail to mention the displacement of thousands of Palestinians from their traditional homeland upon the creation of the state of Israel. It also seems strange that Mr. List would fail to mention the continual expansion of Israel by annexing territory of neighboring Arab states. Thirdly, it seems strange that Mr. List would fail to condemn the racialist theories of Zionism, as admitted by scores of writers, including Ben-Gurion’s biographer, Michael Bar-Zohar. Objectively, Mr. List defends these acts and beliefs under the cover of charges of “misrepresentation” and bigotry. When the Zionist leaders of Israel, as differentiated from non-Zionist Jews, continually trample upon the rights and lives of a people, such as the Palestinians, for twenty years; when these same leaders and their supporters continually seize the territory of neighboring Arab states; when this same group conducts military actions against other nations and peoples in the Middle East in order to protect her previous acts; one can not condemn the reactions of those who have been violated in defending themselves. Those who are defending themselves in the Middle East are the Palestinians represented by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). And Mr. List, their just cause is recognized by the broad majority of people and nations around the world; reflected most recently in the vote to admit the PLO to United Nations meetings.

The Bull swimmers went on to break three more last Wednesday night while defeating Canisius 73-40. Burt Zweigenhaft broke the Clark pool record in the 500-yard freestyle and Dan Winter broke his own the 1000-yard in university record freestyle. However, the top performance was that of freshman George Finelli, who continues to rewrite the record book. Finelli, a graduate of Tappen Zee High School, shaved almost three seconds off his own record in the 200-yard butterfly, which he had set only four days earlier. Remarkably, Finelli has lowered the record in five of six attempts. “This is the best team we’ve ever had,” said a happy coach, Bill Sanford after the team’s third victory in six outings. Sanford, who has coached the team for twenty-seven years, rated Finelli one of the best swimmers in the school’s history. another freshman, However Ted Brenner, holds two university records, having lowered Buffalo time standards in the backstroke and individual medley. In all this year’s squad nas set 1 1 school records. The outcome of the Canisius meet was never really in doubt. Buffalo won the first three events with the help of Cory Ciambelli’s surprisingly good performance in the 200-yard freestyle, and took a commanding 23-2 lead. Competing to their teammates’ rhythmic chants of “One-two, one-two,” the Bulls swam and dove to victory in nine of the thirteen events. Buffalo coaches Gripes over poor officiating by Paige Miller Staff Writer Bulls basketball coach Leo Richardson excels in one of America’s most popular pasttimes yelling at the referees. Never one for sitting quietly on the bench during a game, Richardson has been ejected once and has picked up six technical fouls in three Spectrum - games. The ejection came earlier this year under unusual circumstances at Cleveland State. A previous incident, in which a coach had to be wrestled off the court, prompted the director of officials in the Cleveland area to prohibit coaches from standing while the clock was running. The penalty was a technical foul. No standing zone Richardson was apparently not informed of this decision by the two game officials. He received his first technical when he stood up to shout to one of his players, something that every coach does during the course of a game. Later, after receiving his second technical for standing up, he began to yell at the officials, whereupon he received a third technical foul and was ejected. Although this is just one example, the Bulls’ coach claims the officials are out to get him. “The officiating has defeated us everywhere we went before we hit the floor,” he said, noting that only two of the team’s 15 games this season have been well officiated. “Even our officials treat us like we don’t belong. Of course, we don’t expect them to give us anything,” he remarked. “Check the other sports,” Richardson noted. “Hockey for example. They get treated like second class citizens. No one seems to have any respect for what we do.” The wrestling and swimming squads also claim to have been victims of “home jobs” this year.

And if it were to happen again, I’ll get another technical.” — — — — — — — — Wrestling; February 1 Clark Hall Syracuse 17 Buffalo 37, Ashland 6; Buffalo 33, Cortland 12; Buffalo 17, Ashland Match: 118 Pfiefer (B) pin Miluk 4;1&; 126 Sams (B) dec.

The Bulls rolled past Ashland College, 37-6, and Cortland State, 33-12. However, the Syracuse Orangemen, who lost to Buffalo 49-0 two years ago, put up a tough struggle that ended in a 17-17 draw. The Syracuse match seesawed back and forth through the lower weights, but the Orange strength in the middle weights threatened to pull the contest out of the Bulls’ reach. Buffalo’s 177 pounder, Emad Faddoul, turned the tide beating Syracuse sophomore, Dan Wallon, by decision. Faddoul came close to pinning Wallon, which the Bulls needed badly. After 190 pounder Bill Bartosch lost to Paul Head in a match marked by confusion and disputed scoring, the Bulls found themselves down 17-11. Miracle worker The smalt but excitable crowd was on its feet when heavyweight Charlie Wright, the Bulls’ version of the miracle worker, took the mat against Syracuse’s Bill Brown. Buffalo’s best hope was for a tie and that would have required Wirght, still recovering from the flu, to pin the larger Brown. Brown needed only to stay off his back to give the Orangemen a stirring upset victory. Using his favorite move, the rolling headlock takedown, Wright dropped his opponent to the mat several times. This move is designed to take a man down and pin him at the same time. After failing to pin his opponent, Wright let Brown up so that he could try it again. With but three seconds left in the first period, Charlie made it work for his second pin and third win of the day. Jim Young remained undefeated at 134, beating Syracuse’s John Debiase on takedowns. Freshman Ray Pfeifer wrestled his best ever at 118, winning all three matches, including two pins. Faddoul also had a perfect 3-0 day for the Bulls. Buffalo revealed a new lineup in the opening match with Ashland. The significant changes were Ron Parker, down to 142 from 150 and Bruce Hadsell, down to 150 from 158. Wally Davis moved in tor' Hadsell’s old spot. The squad seemed considerably strengthened by these adjustments. Any VW (no matter how old) can be checked out completely on our computer.

A long, loud, often incomprehensible debate lasting nearly two hours resulted in Assembly approval of a divided motion: 1 to make Mr. Kunstler a top priority and direct Student Association (SA) President Frank Jackalone to instruct Speakers’ Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow to procure Mr. Kunstler’s services, and 2- to refrain from setting a price ceiling and let Mr. Morrow negotiate with Mr. Kunstler. If they cannot reach an agreement, Mr. Morrow must report to the Assembly, which will then set a price ceiling for further negotiations. What this means, according to Assembly members, is the following: 1 The Assembly wants Mr. Kunstler to speak here before anyone else, and 2 The Assembly directs Mr. Morrow, through Mr. Jackalone, to negotiate an engagement for Mr. Kunstler, and 3 Mr. Morrow is allowed to bargain on the price, and 4 Mr. Morrow is empowered, though not obligated, to sign Mr. Kunstler if he - - -~ — - thinks the price is reasonable, and If, after negotiating in good faith, 5 Mr. Morrow does not think the price is reasonable, or if he wishes to let the Assembly decide what is reasonable, he must report to the Assembly next — Wednesday. If Mr. Morrow and Mr. Kunstler have reached a verbal agreement and have not signed a contract, the Assembly can decide whether to sign Mr. Kunstler at the agreed price. If they have not reached an agreement, the Assembly will tell Mr. Morrow how much SA is willing to pay (up to the $3,500 remaining in the Speakers’ Bureau budget) and Mr. Morrow must present that figure to Mr. Kunstler on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. Scott’s scolding When the Assembly settled the issue, began to leave, prompting Executive Vice President Scott Salimando to scold the Assembly for walking out on the discussion of the proposed SA constitution, which comes up for a vote with the mandatory fee question in the referendum February 5, 6 and 7. The Assembly agreed to recess the meeting many members until 3 p.m. today. In other business, the Assembly approved three nominations by Mr. Jackalone to fill vacancies on the Finance Committee. Mindy Lubber, Steve Smith and Perry Schustak were confirmed after brief debate. Mr. Salimando and Assembly member Steve Laub informed the Assembly that President Robert Ketter had refused to alter the present spring vacation schedule to correspond with the Passover and Easter holidays The Assembly unanimously passed a resolution condemning Dr. Ketter for allegedly taking into account only the opinions of faculty and administrators in reaching his decision. Mr. Jackalone urged Assembly members to work to insure passage of the mandatory student fee. He warned against complacency, saying he believed the fee would suffer a narrow defeat if voted on immediately. Profit? Not for rofit ? b taxes Excessive rumor denied by IRC Inter-Residence Council (IRC) representatives have denied rumors that IRC Business (1RCB) faces excessive financial penalties and must pay back taxes because of its failure to file for non-profit status with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) since 1970. Previous IRCB Boards of Directors did not keep accurate records and were not aware that they had to file IRS form 990E to request non-profit status, Mr. Weber explained. As a profit-making corporation, then, IRCB should have paid S3800 to the IRS as withholdings from employees salaries. After the present Board of Directors took otfice in April, 1974, it discovered the oversight and decided to have the financial and bookkeeping “mess left to them, by their predecessors” cleared up by March, 1975. Legal Counsel Jack Geller has advised Mr. Weber that the IRS will most likely be lenient with the case, and that any penalties levied will not be excessive. Final word, however, will not come until mid-March, and until then, “a lot of possibilities still exist,” Mr. Weber stated. Mr. Geller’s advice was based on the treatment that IRS has afforded similar situations in the past. Public inspection IRCB’s first action was to retain a Buffalo accounting firm to draw “writeups” (financial statements, but not official audits) based on up whatever records they could salvage from previous years. The reports detailing IRC’s financial status for each month during the four year are now available for public inspection in IRC’s Main Campus period office in Goodyear Hall. Copies of these statements have been given to the IRS, Mr. Weber said, and IRC has thrown itself “on the mercy wof the IRS,” on the assumption that the IRS will sympathize with people who “turn themselves in.” He believes the Board of Directors has displayed “a clear intent to clean up” its tax status, and although stiff penalties may be imposed, he feels the fines will not be excessive. As of now, all the necessary forms have been filed with the IRS, Mr. Weber emphasized, and as a expressed non-profit corporation, IRCB is no longer subject to social security taxes. Additionally, any profit made by IRCB is put back into the corporation, he explained. - - Mr. Weber attributed the entire problem to the fact that there is less “continuity of control” in IRC than in the Student Association (SA) or Sub-Board, where there are a few full-time people employed. Parking problems continue Once again the familiar complaint is echoing where, can one find a through the parking fields parking space? — The parking problem has been most apparent on the Main Street Campus. Robert Hunt, Director of the Office of Environmental Health and Safety, estimated that there are between 16 and 20 thousand registered vehicles for only five thousand available parking places in the Main Street lots. Since some of these spaces are reserved for faculty and staff, only 3300 remain for students. The University had experimented with open Since the project was abandoned, the advisory committee has never reconvened. A major difficulty is that “each faction looks for its own privilege,” which hampers the constructive efforts of the whole, Mr. Hunt said. Some observers feel that open parking at the Amherst Campus is simply another attempt at the same idea, but Mr. Hunt countered that the situation on the North Campus is different. “The lots are so far away from everything, it doesn’t make a difference,” he said. parking two years ago, when both faculty and student parking lots were run on a first come, first serve basis. The idea, Mr. Hunt recalled, was proposed by a faculty-student-staff advisory committee that was set up to investigate the problem. Parking elsewhere He feels that more indirect solutions to the parking problem will have to be found. Some of his suggestions include students parking their cars at Unfortunately, the project was a failure, according to Mr. Hunt, who said “the situation wasn’t any better even after the switch.” Faculty and staff complained they could not find spaces because students would come early and fill up the lots. Elder staff members refused to walk the longer distances from car to office. Most students seemed to appreciate the change, but it was generally felt that even an open parking system would not alleviate the basic lack of available The University had considered renting parking lots at various off-campus locations for commuter students and busing them to the three campuses, Mr Hunt remarked. He admitted, however, that th< space. Ridge Lea, or utilizing the excess parking space at Amherst and riding the buses to Main Street. University budget would provide no funds for such an operation. The University is unwilling to tamper with present facilities at Main Street because of the projected move to the North Campus. In fact, long range plans call for the conversion of many lots on the Main Campus into grass parks. �Ketter announces recess unchanged President Robert Ketter announced Monday that the Spring Recess would not be changed from March 8—21 to March 22—31 to coincide with the Easter-Passover holiday period. Members of the Jewish Student Union (JSU) had been campaigning since last May to change the 1975 Academic Calendar. In a letter to JSU President Steven Laub, President Ketter said that “numerous persons” felt any amendment to the calendar would be “disruptive both to individual and collective plans that had already been made.” He assured Mr. Laub, however, that in the future, “whenever Passover and Easter fall close together, and the recess can be scheduled so that a minimum of four weeks remain afterward in the semester for instructional purposes,” the calendar will be arranged for the convenience of the observers of both holidays. Additionally, the University will continue to excuse any student from class, without penalty, who wishes to observe a religious holy day, Dr. Ketter indicated. ore lights Preventive measures reduce campus rapes entrances on both the ground and plaza levels. “For the size of this campus, fortunate that there are so we are few rapes,” Mr. Griffin said. At College and State Syracuse University, the problem is more serious. Buffalo Most complaints are currently directed against exhibitionists in Harriman and Lockwood libraries. The problem had previously been aggravated by poorly lit walkways ana hitchhiking in front of Norton Hall. of the reason for the decline despite the rising national rates, is the additional lighting that has been installed along the walkway from Hayes Hall to Main Street, a former hazard zone. The parking area near Baird Hall, also a former danger area, has also been well lit. crimes With more security officers per student at the Amherst campus, the crime rates do not differ statistically from those at the Main St. campus.

Circulation average: Page tvyo,. The Spectrum friday, 31 . Noel Neill, Lois Lane of Superman fame, appeared before a packed crqwd in the Fillmore Room Tuesday wearing the “same tacky suit” in which millions saw her on the old TV show. She played one of the old TV episodes, helped volunteers act out a scene and answered questions from the audience. The nostalgia buffs in the crowd had a great evening. In the episode of Superman that Ms. Neill showed, Lois, traveling in Africa, accidently becomes the owner of a sacred scarab. When a local tribe sees her wearing it they mistake her for a long lost goddess, and plan to kidnap the Daily Planet Superman. The principal actors received $200 per show, the secret weapon used by the “mole man” in one show turned out to be an Electrolux vacuum cleaner, and the reason the Daily Planet reporters never carried notebooks when covering stories is probably because the studio was anxious to save the 39 cents. When Superman married Lois Lane, they were lowered in a bathysphere, supposedly to the bottom of the ocean. But in the middle of a shot out of the porthole, a goldfish swam by and spoiled the illusion. Ms. Neill said she was originally from Minneapolis and was acting around when she was reporter. A foreigner, presumably a Turk, steals it from her, but Lois doesn't get away that easily. The tribe gets hold of her and enthrones her in a chamber which immediately begins filling with a poisonous incense. If she is really a goddess, they rationalize, the fumes won't hurl her. Superman enters in the nick of time, of course to rescue her and the show ends happily. Planetary gossip When the lights went back on, Ms. Neill answered questions from the audience: No, she isn't employed now. she's just a beach bum and part time housewife. She doesn't receive any payments for the current reruns of Superman because none of the actors' contracts called for residuals beyond the fourth rerun. She and Jack Larsen (Jimmy Olsen) both received their last residual check in l c )60.

Vote scheduled Proposed SA constitution to separate budget, legislation by John A. Fink Staff Writer Spectrum yjfcfc 7975 State allotment will avoid budget deficit Most of the anticipated deficit in the University budget of nearly $400,000 will be filled by the University’s annual budget allotment from the State. Ed Doty, Vice President for Operations and Systems, said that the University’s share of a special $4.2 million allotment to the SUNY system in Governor Hugh Carey’s budget, intended to tide the SUNY schools over until the end of the fiscal year, will be enough to prevent a deficit here. President Robert Ketter told the Faculty Senate in early December that he anticipated a $390,000 deficit in the University budget this year and said the University would request additional funds from the State Legislature. If these funds were not forthcoming, he told the Senate, the University savings account would be used to overcome the deficit. Dr. Ketter also reported at the time that he was “shocked” to find that two units of the University had spent all their allotted money, except for personnel funds, fully four months before the end of the fiscal year Both Dr. Ketter and Mr. Doty have refused to identify those units. Dr. Ketter attributed the expected deficit to the increased cost of heating, oil, electricity, and telephone service and to the added cost of expanded inter-campus bus service. Mr. Doty explained that at the time Dr. Ketter made his remarks to the Senate, Governor Carey had not submitted a budget and Dr. Ketter had no way of knowing what the SUNY allotment would be. Mr. Doty pointed out that , the University must still await finalization of the Governor’s Executive Budget, which will recommend specific appropriations for this University, and final approval of the State budget by the Legislature, which could conceivably cut the SUNY allotment. Although this year’s deficit allotment is expected to be somewhat higher than last year’s, Mr. Doty felt it was “very unlikely the budget will allow for increases in real costs.” Despite this, he believed the University would get along “reasonably comfortably” for the next few years. The estimated cost of utilities for the current fiscal year is $2,747,000, which includes $295,000 for natural gas, $263,000 for coal, $98,000 for oil, $290,000 for water and sewage, and $1,800,000 for electricity. The original $279,000 estimate for intra-campus busses will be supplemented with another $92,000 because University planners underestimated the volume of traffic between campuses. Mr. Doty observed that when the 1974-75 budget was planned during the summer of 1973, it was assumed that most of those living on the North Campus would have all their classes on that campus. “This turned out to be a wild assumption,” he explained, and service had to be increased during peak traffic hours. Mr. Doty did not foresee any cutbacks in academic programs, but said that they may not be what some people had hoped for in terms of expansion. Additionally, he said that construction on the Amherst Campus and the redoing of the Main Street Campus to accommodate health sciences and graduate studies will proceed according to schedule. The total University expenditure is about $115 million. The future of a newly-drafted Student Association (SA) constitution, designed to revive the effectiveness of student government on this campus, will be decided along with the mandatory activity fee in a referendum on February 5, 6 and 7. Under the new guidelines, the Executive Committee and the Student Assembly will be divided into six units; Executive Committee; Senate; Financial Assembly; Academic Affairs Task force; Student Affairs Task Force and Activities and Services Task Force, The major change provides for two separate ■legislative and budget-making bodies, the Senate and Financial Assemblies. The Senate will deal with all non-budgetary policy matters while the budget will be the sole responsibility of the Financial Assembly. will have three representatives on the Academic 1 ask Force, one voting and two non-voting. The SATF is open to any student who attends two meetings. The ASTF will be a coalition of all interest groups on campus, headed by ten elected and five appointed representatives. Recall Another change deals with the recall procedure for elected officers. Presently, all that is needed to impeach an officer is a petition signed by at least 10 percent of the student body. If the new constitution is adopted, charges against the officer and reasons for removal must be included on the petition and validated by the Student Judiciary. Also, only 5 percent of the student body must sign the petition. In addition, the new constitution contains a Book of Rules, which simplifies the amendment process. Instead of requiring an absolute three-fifths Own assembly The Constitutional Reform Committee felt that since the budget consumes so much time and attracts so much attention, it merits an assembly of its own. “A lot of people join the Assembly just to have their say on the budget and then don’t show up when anything else is being discussed,” said Bruce Lange, head of the Constitutional Reform Committee. The second major change is the establishment of three task forces with separate areas of responsibility. Each task force will be like a “miniature assembly,” Mr. Lange pointed out. They will not have any legislative power, but will be able to bring legislation to the Senate. Mr. Lange said the constitutional revision will hopefully improve the efficiency of student government. Any body as large as the present Assembly (116 members) could never look into any issue in depth, he observed. “Maybe we’ll be able to do something now.” New Exec Comm are ten elected officers Committee and two at Presently, there Executive on the large representatives from the Assembly. Under the proposed constitution, the Executive daytime will be elected by all Committee undergraduate students and will consist of a President, Executive Vice President, Vice President for Sub-Board I, Inc., Treasurer and three new officers: Director of Student Affairs, Director of Academic Affairs and Director of Student Activities and Services. The present coordinator positions will thus be consolidated into these three directorates. Three at large representatives will also sit on the Executive Committee. Both the Academic Affairs Task Force (AATF) and the Student Affairs Task Force (SATF) will select ten officers each to represent them. The third an Activities and Services Task Force (ASTF) will be headed by ten students elected at large by the student body and five divisional representatives that it selects. Each of the three task forces will be further divided into four standing committees: three to the Financial Committee; three to the Rules and Operations committee; three to the Personnel and Appointments Committee and one to the Executive Committee. The five divisional representatives of the ASTF will go to any of the standing committees. — — Senators The Senate will be composed of 42 members 35 from the three task forces combined and seven officers from the Executive Committee. The Financial Assembly will be comprised of 27 members; all from the Activities and Services Task Force. In addition, there will be a Financial Priorities Committee (FPC) which will work out priorities before the budget hearings begin. The FPC will conduct surveys of student opinion and interview organizations requesting funds. They will then report to the Financial Assembly. There are different requirements for membership on each task force. Each academic club — —Fagenson Bruce Lange of all Assembly members, a Book of Rules amendment will require only a 2/3 majority of those constitutional amendments present. However, will still require the absolute 3/5 vote. The Book of Rules also contains Statutes, which include a concise summary of legislation that has been passed. “There’s no point in the Student Association passing something if it’s not going to do something about it or keep its word. That’s the whole idea behind the Statutes,” Mr, Lange remarked. vote More involvement Mr. Lange hopes the new constitution will be passed in the referendum, because he feels it will involve more interested and qualified people in the decisions which affect them. He said the present system puts “the cart before the horse” since people make decisions first and become interested later. “The present system is too loosely structured and doesn’t work. We need a new If the new constitution passes the February referendum, it will take effect next fall. Until then, the current Student Assembly will still operate, but the upcoming SA elections will be for the new offices.

Speakers Bur Mr. Moore said the local Labor Party, which claims 60 to 70 members in the Buffalo-Toronto-Syracuse area, plans to send delegations of cnemployed workers to the offices of State Assemblyman Arthur Eve (D.-Bflo.) and other area legislators in an attempt to enlist support. The EAPA bill demands that government financing come not from “taxation on workers or another diminution of working class incomes.” Sources of the $55 billion in government loans to farmers, according to Labor Party literature, should instead include a one percent tax on total loans and investments of large commercial banks, a 0.6 percent tax on total assets of life insurance companies, and a one percent tax on the turnover of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The Labor Party claims that the current rate of U S. tractor production, an essential part of the EAPA plan, can be increased 20 times to 5 million units yearly within three to six months after automobile plants begin conversion to tractor production. Mr. Moore said the EAPA proposals seek to deal with the “international monetary control” of vice-president Nelson Rockefeller, which Labor Party literature says manipulates markets and causes shortages resulting in world-wide famine and plague. “We see what’s going on now as a crime of mass murder,” Mr. Moore said, citing starvation in Bangladesh and decreased fertilizer production in the United States as illustrations. The immediate problem of the EAPA bill is a lack of Congressional sponsorship. Sen. Herman Talmadge (D.—Ga.), head of the Senate Agricultural Committee, is one target of Labor Party lobbying.

The recent defeats should “decrease this by Joseph P. Esposito Contributing Editor arbitrary “The seniority system has been uprooted to a significant extent, and it will never be the same again.” That is the evaluation of recent Congressional reforms by James A. Stimson, Political Science Professor at this University. The author of a forthcoming book entitled Yeas and Nays: formal Decision-Making in the US. House of Representatives Dr. Stimson attributes the defeat of veteran committee chairmen to “a fusion of the ongoing reform movement in the House in both political parties and the infusion of a large number of freshmen Congressmen” who usually vote , for reform. Three committee chairmen have been deposed in the weeks since the 435 Representatives returned to Washington for the opening session of the 94th Congress. F. Edward Hebert, a Louisiana Democrat, was defeated in his bid for re-election as chairman of the House Armed Services Committee by Melvin Price (D.-Illinois). It was Rep. Hebert who addressed the 75 new Democratic members ofthe house as “boys and girls.” Reuss replaces Patman Wright Patman, an 81-year-old Texan who has served in Congress longer than any current member, was replaced as chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee by Wisconsin Democrat Henry Another Texan, W.R. Reuss. Poage, lost his chairmanship of the Agriculture Committee to Thomas Foley (D.—Washington). Congressman Wilbur Mills (D.—Arkansas), once the most powerful man in Congress, lost his and Ways Means Committee to A1 Ullman chairmanship (D.-Oregon), largely as a result of alcoholism and public appearances with stripper his admitted Fannie Foxe. the Ohio Wayne Hays, Democrat who chairs the House Administration Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, survived a to his House challenge Administration stewardship from Frank Thompson (D.—New power,” Dr. Stimson stressed. “It is wrong to believe that reform is new this year,” Dr. Stimson went on. “Reform has been going on since 1958,” and there has been more continuous Congressional reform over the last six years than in other is because institutions. Further reform explained, “there are 7 5 Democratic members who have no stake in the current system.” But “the procedural reforms likely, he won’t have much to do with the of Congress,” Dr. Stimson said, since Congress has responsiveness been responsive to the people of the nation. He therefore ddfes not foresee any “significant policy changes as a result of the current reforms, but more likely, as a result of last year’s election.” always Balance to liberals Because the balance of power has shifted the House in temporarily in a liberal direction since the 1974 election and Watergate, Dr. Stimson expects a the between greater balance the Executive Congress and Branch. He believes that any “boost in public esteem for Congress will be and insignificant temporary compared to the great esteem gained for the Congress by the House performance of the Judiciary Committee in last year’s impeachment hearings.” Southerners still have a slightly disproportionate influence in the House despite the losses of the committee chairmanships. However, Dr. Stimson believes that the Southern influence will continue to decline, and that the events of 1975 have only accelerated a process that was already underway. The reasons for this continued are the he added, decline, concentration of Democratic “safe” seats in the urban North and Midwest, and little-noticed changes in retirement the Congressional which system, encourages senior members to retire earlier with good pensions. “The real power behind the the Congressional reforms is Democratic Study Group,” Dr. Stimson The emphasized. freshman class often ratifies Study Group-initiated reforms. nationally-recognized A authority on Congress, Dr. Stimson also views the downfall of Wilbur Mills as the event that triggered the defeat of the other chairmen. “Mills was a keystone of the seniority system,” he explained. “He made the existing system look acceptable because of his competence in the job.” Dr. Stimson anticipates that the powerful Ways and Means Committee will produce a greater under legislation flow of Chairman Ullman, who is more likely to delegate authority than his predecessor. The Committee reviews key issues like taxes, health care, and social security. Reuss more competent A year ago, Dr. Stimson predicted the (ikelihood of Wright Patman losing his chairmanship. He contends that Rep. Patman was a target of the reformers because he was incompetent and was “never effective in personal politics.” A populist foe of banking interests, Rep. Patman was known for his failure to become an effective legislative leader. For this the reason, Banking Committee has been run by a coalition of conservatives favorable to the banking industry, Stimson indicated. The Dr. Committee may move in a liberal direction because Rep. Reuss, who has promised quick action on economic matters, is a “more competent Congressman.” Dr. Stimson explained that Rep. Hebert was defeated because of his ideology, while Rep. Hays was challenged because of his personality, which was considered abrasive. He expects little policy change in the Armed Services Committee because most of the other members share the same staunchly pro-military views as keep the The House Administration Committee is crucial to the office of every Congressman because it dispenses office space, supplies, staff, etc. to position chairmanship.

The inquiry is led by assistant Attorney General Kenneth R. Feinberg and aided by the Internal Revenue Service. According to an account by The New York Times: “That office reported that millions of dollars of entries in the books could not be accounted for, that payments had been made to political and other organizations and listed as ‘legal fees’ or ‘recreational expenses,’ and that $664,000 had moved through the personal bank account of Mr, Bergman’s accountant, Samuel Dachowitz.” In addition, one payment was made for the school tuition of a bookkeeper’s son, and payments for housekeeping and meat expenditures were made out to assistant administrators. Mr. Bergman also signed a check for $500 in nursing home funds, which was donated to the Steingut campaign fund. Mr. Steingut's insurance brokerage is also reported to have handled a Towers account. Nepotism alleged Mrs. Bergman, who has allegedly done no work for the Towers Homes, drew a salary of $26,000 per year as its operator. Several large checks, signed by members of the Bergman family, were entered as “Loans and exchanges,” and credited to individuals identified only as “dear friends” or by initials. The Committee’s investigation also touched New York State Law and regulations upon concerning nursing home operation. According to Medicaid and Welfare rulings, business State payments by nursing homes may be reimbursed by Medicaid, especially in a case of legitimate bankrupcy. Senator Frank E. Moss, (D., Utah) the Subcommittee’s chairman, described New York’s system of cost-based reimbursement as "enough to make defense contractors drool . . . The message the legislature has given the nursing home operator is clear: spend, spend, spend, for whatever you spend will be reimbursed with a profit.” Federal studies show that nursing home expenditures in New York varied up to 400 percent for services such as housekeeping and laundry, implying extravagance and kickbacks. However, testimonies to the of medical according professionals, nursing home patients have been neglected. “Many patients have severe, deep decubitus ulcers, commonly known as bedsores, which are infected, and may lead to infection of underlying bone, general bloodstream infection, and possibly death,” asserted Dr. Jay Dobkin, chief Medical Resident at Morisania City Hospital. Irene Jarvis, a registered nurse and former city health inspector, described cases of malnutrition, rough sheets, equipment stained with feces, and would have happened when the medication nurse came around!” she exclaimed. Anastasia Hopper, former city chief inspector of nursing homes, noted a heating failure in Towers Home in 1971 which lasted five days. She said patients were inadequately covered, and ate cold food from dishes rinsed in cold water. Mr. Bergman still claims that he has been “a target of a program of litigation and abuse from public officials, and especially the media,” which has “no parallel since the days of Senator Joseph McCarthy.” He claims to operate only two nursing homes that are “the best of their sort” in the City of New York.

Nixon has informed Senator Barry Goldwater, Rep.-Ariz., that he would like to get back into national politics to help the Republican Party, Sen. Goldwater reported Tuesday. Mr. Goldwater said he discussed the possibility with Mr. Nixon in San Clemente, California last week. Mr. Goldwater’s remarks coincided with a report from Mr. Nixon’s physician John C. Lungren that the former President was “looking physically improved” for the first time since leaving the hospital. Dr. Lungren told interviewers Mr. Nixon might be well enough by next month to travel occasionally by automobile, airplane, or helicopter. Mr. Goldwater said he had lunched with Mr. Nixon at Casa Pacifica and Mr. Nixon had “talked of his desire to get back into the political arena, not as a candidate, but as a party spokesman.” “We discussed whether he would be accepted back into the party’s affairs,” Mr. Goldwater said, “and I told him I thought he would be.” Mr. Goldwater said his mail showed “no lessening of interest in him within the party. After all, he had who voted for him.” Mr. Goldwater also said Vice President Nelson Rockefeller would have “no chance” of winning the 1976 GOP Presidential nomination if President Ford chose not to seek election to a full term. “You’d have the United effort of the conservatives in the party against him,” Mr. Goldwater said, “1 don’t think he’d have any chance at all.” Former California Governor Ronald Reagan is said to be the favorite candidate of the GOP’s right For bogie He said Mr. Nixon might try to help Republican candidates and the party generally when his health Department spokesman said the law giving Congress control over Mr. Nixon’s papers and tapes did not apply to the material Mr. Nixon seeks. permitted. “can’t walk very well.” / wing.

Predictions According to Mr. Hocevar, the AEC has used computer programs to predict possible consequences of nuclear accidents and the results of the calculations “have not been encouraging.” “We need a higher degree of confidence in computer codes to justify 3 massive campaign of development,” Mr. nuclear Hocevar maintained, since “the safety of the public is of primary importance.” The problem of nuclear energy “lies in society,” explained Rachel College representative Carson Marvin Resnikoff. Nuclear power is more than a technical problem, but a question of “who makes the decision for the utilities and public in general,” Dr. Resnikoff said. Referring to the wastes emanated from nuclear reactors, he suggested that a break in the tank at the fuel reprocessing plant in West Valley, New York could leak into Lake Erie and pollute the Buffalo water supply.

And once again, it is looking for the indispensible element upon which its effectiveness rests volunteers, CAC provides a constructive and creative outlet for students who feel that classroom training alone is confining and want to work for social change. Over the years, it has expanded to more than 50 different projects. The programs fall under six basic headings: Drug and Youth Counseling, Social Action, Education, Recreation, Health Care and Day Care. It is this diversity that has attracted so many volunteers in the past, and which CAC is counting on to help staff and organize its programs this year. The Human Sexuality Counseling Center, NYPIRG, Family Planning, the Teacher Resource Center, the Alternative Education Committee and the Self-Help Clinic are just a few of the organizations that were launched by CAC. Another CAC organization, Sunshine House, has kept up with the times by moving its focus away from drug problems exclusively. It now offers all types of counseling, including an extensive rape counseling service. The organization is always open to ideas for change and improvement, and often allows volunteers to begin any new — program they plan. Ten years have seen great strides in CAC's scope and effectiveness. With so many projects this year, there is surely enough variety to suit every kind of interest. CAC is an opportunity for those who sit around and bitch about how bad things are to do something about it. CAC presently needs volunteers badly, and is appealing to students to get involved. CAC wants you. The brand new Student Association (SA) constitution that will be voted on in the upcoming referendum represents a positive step toward rehabilitating student government. The proposal to form two smaller separate legislative and budget-making bodies is an excellent idea because it will prevent extended haggling over budgetary matters at the exclusion of pressing issues like academics and student rights, as was the case with this year's Student Assembly. Consolidating the present coordinator positions into three offices is also a worthwhile suggestion, since it will give each officer more responsibilities and prevent some of the overlap that presently occurs. Establishing three task forces should also help SA specialize in Academic Affairs, Student Affairs and Activities and Services areas that can easily get lost in the mire of SA bureaucracy without a clear and distinct — focus. Although somewhat confusing, the new constitution addresses the causes of much of SA's current paralysis, and deserves the support of the student body on Feb. 5, 6, and Larry Kraftowltz — Managing Editor Amy - Dunkm Michael O’Neill Managing Editor Gerry McKeen Advertising Manager — — .

Friday, 31 January 1975 . To the Editor. As the past Chairman of the Association (SA) Speakers’ Bureau, it is interesting to view the present actions of the Student Assembly regarding its desire to have attorney William Kunstler speak on campus in a program to be sponsored by the SA Speakers’ Bureau. Once again, the Student Assembly has wound itself up into SA’s internal affairs-and prevented itself from dealing with more pertinent matters. At a time when Governor Carey is considering a tuition and room hike, the Faculty-Senate is debating a five-course load, students are being denied due process on campus, the Student Assembly is dilly-dallying with speakers when it should be studying more pressing issues. It is important for the Speakers’ Bureau Chairman Assembly to act independently from the Student for the sole reason that he must be free interest group pressures in developing a well-rounded program. Throughout the year, many groups come to the Speakers’ Bureau requesting a speaker. In order to create a sense of fairness for all make any the Chairman must not groups, commitment to these interest groups or show Give us Kunstler To the Editor. A recent The Spectrum editorial has brought to the attention of its readers here at the Legal Aid Clinic the lack of colorful and diverse speakers being brought to this campus. The Speakers’ Bureau recent presentation of Lois Lane and its future engagement with Ronald Regan is surely a “slap in the face” of the socially conscious-minded UB student. Even more, it is outrageous to offer Bill Kunstler a “conservative” $500 for a possible speaking engagement while the “very controversial” Ronald Regan might receive $3,000 for his inappropriate presence on this campus. To forego the debate whether Lois Lane is more charismatic, or Ronald Regan more sincere is not our point. The fact is that an trial with many intense . . f favoritism to one speaker over another. Although the Assembly is a coalition of interest groups, the closeness of the vote directing Mr. Morrow to establish Mr. Kunstler as a priority indicates the possibility of other interest group coalition demands. The Student Assembly, which allocates student monies and approves Presidential appointments, in making the Kunstler acted appropriately suggestion to Mr. Morrow, but to direct that a specific action be taken is not within the realm of its jurisdiction. The Student Association directs the Speakers’ Bureau Chairman to develop the program. It says nothing of the approval by the Student Assembly of each of the programs. The action of the Student Wide Judiciary the restraining Speakers’ Bureau Chairman disregarded Student Association procedures. Student Association and the Student Assembly operate under Robert’s Rules of order. These rules clearly state that once work by a specific committee such as Speakers’ Bureau has been authorized, the allocating body cannot have the committee’s direction changed. Mr. Morrow, therefore, is correct in his actions under the procedures of the Student Association. Bob Burrick connotations on American society is talking place here in Buffalo. Bill Kunstler can offer a firsthand account of this event. Surely the cries of the Attica Brothers’ story has more relevance than Superman. Attica is an event that involves such questions as the myth of equality under the law, the inhumane treatment of fellow humans in prisons, and exposes to us the extremes that the state will reach in keeping the law and order. We are somewhat disillusioned and most definitely bored with the Speakers’ Bureau’s choice of what they believe are appropriate and exciting speakers. Please don’t do us the favor. But definitely give us a colorful and dynamic speaker that we see in Bill Kunstler, and let him tell us his outrageous experiences with the American legal system, the protectorate of American Society.

Thorough misrepresentation The Spectrum Vol. 25, No VIETNAM A free hand from A new constitution Arts 'ANYONE CARE TO GIVE AGAIN TO �New Buffalo Folk Festival a flawed success by Mike McGuire and Steven Milligram Spectrum Music Reviewers One of the most unique concerts to be held recently in Buffalo came here Sunday, under the alias of the New Buffalo Folk Festival. In reality the "festival" was Mitchell Feinman, John Prine, and David Bromberg. The concert got underway almost an hour late because of uncertainty about the status of David Bromberg (he wasn't in Buffalo yet). The crowd that almost filled Harvey and Corky's Century Theater took the delay in good spirits, and their hour-long mill was broken only by the announcement that Mitchell Feinman was on. Mitch is a local whose non-appearance at UUAB events can only be described as an oversight on the part of someone or other. He gave an excellent, tight while at-east performance of originals and borrowings. His guitar work was hard to find fault with with some very nice strums reminiscent of Cat Stevens, and a voice fitted to agonizing over the blues (although it was rarely tested). Beginning with his "Don't Go Home," he went into "Tonight" and hit a high point with "Eastern Seaboard Blues," a song about staying on the east coast while his lover went west (she never returned). Then he did the unlikely a superb interpretation of Dylan's "Just Like A Woman." Two softer originals, "Waiting For Love" and "Twenty Years More" led to a bluegrass version of Taj Mahal's "Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own." He closed with a bluesy version of the Beatle's "The Night Before," only to be called back for an encore of his own "Why I Smile Today." — - — Redundant The only thing that kept Mitch from being received ecstatically was a certain sense of monotony in his playing, the repetition of the same strum for virtually all the songs. We might have enjoyed him more had there been some diversity in this, but he still is very good and definitely someone worth hearing. After a short story turned long by the MC of poor David's (Bromberg) troubles, there was another intermission, in which the MC promised to talk to John (Prine) about doing an acoustic set (music protocol demands that the top billed play last). And then, John Prine. Prine was the first of the redneck country leftists, and in fact had a minor hit with "Your Flag Decal Won't get You Into Heaven Anymore" (which he didn't play). In his voice, guitar playing, and stage manner, he reminds one of a country western Dylan. Prine played a nice acoustic set that was marred by a shitty sound system (take note H&C) and our seats in Hippie Heaven. Prine also appeared to have had the proverbial one beer too many under his belt. As a friend put it, the thought of headlining a folk festival made Prine overcompensate for the stress. Standouts of the acoustic set were "Illegal Smile," which drew massive applause, "Spanish Pipedream," the opener, "Hello In There," and "Sam Stone," about a junkie veteran (. . . "there's a hole in daddy's arm/ where all the money goes/ Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose . . ."). Ban the band Then his band came out, to our eventual dismay. There was something wrong, something magnifying the poor sound system. Besides the intolerable volume, the major difficulty appeared to be Prine's guitarist Aden Roth. Although Bromberg would tell us later that he has great respect for Roth, his playing could charitably be called overzealous (sorry, just a bad night). The set with the band soured some of Prine's better songs, notably "Angel From Montgomery," "Pretty Good," "Caught in the Act," and "Saddle in the Rain." After another intermission, which we spent waiting one hour for popcorn (without the butter), this time with inspired waiting music, David Bromberg finally made it in. David's troubles began when he tried to catch a plane from New York to Buffalo, only to find out after several delays that the Buffalo airport was closed. He finally made it in to Rochester and drove here. David got in somewhere around midnight, and immediately proceeded to steal the show, faulty sound system, faulty guitar, overly-contemplative crowd, et al. Country Zappa? Bromberg (read nice Jewish boy from Tarry town makes good) is one of the finer musicians in the business today. He's rounded up an excellent group: Evan/Stover (fiddle), Steve Mosley (drums), Peter Ecklund (horns), Billy Novick (reeds) and Greg Jackson (bass). His music is blessed with excellent arrangements, often improvised bnthe spot, and the saving grace of a fine sense of humor. His leadership of the group is like a low-key country version of Zappa and his Mothers; we later learned that they have absolutely no idea what songs they'll do on stage ahead of time and decide it all by David's mood. Bromberg also has humility and often lets the spotlight fall on other members of the band. Much of the set consisted of brilliant improvisations taking off from their songs. "Hard Working John" opened the set and gave a change for fine work on trumpet (Ecklund), sax (Novick), and fiddle (Stover). Other standouts were the melancholy "The Joke's On Me," the sarcastic "Gotta Suffer to Sing the Blues," "Sharon," and a medley of jug band tunes. An encore gave us a new song called "Nobody's," about a now-defunct New York bar where would-be music stars gathered. Besides Bromberg's dazzling guitar work, Stover provoked delight with great fiddle work, and Novick on reeds gave hints of what Neal Cassady might have been like if he was a musician. Backstage buffet After the concert, Bromberg was backstage, giving off ambivalent vibrations of having had a good concert but being too worn out to be in good spirits. He walked around wearily, begging off from going to a party since he wanted to crash out so he could catch an early flight to L.A. to do some vocals for his next album. He didn't really consider his music rock or folk and just tried not to do music intensely, or even think about it so. He'd always liked country, and he had no trouble integrating it with rock/folk. He told everyone he was looking for a second fiddler as he turned down drink and food. We spoke with Evan Stover for a while, trying to atone for all the reviewers who never talk to anyone but the "star." He seemed happy and talked for a while despite being dead and tired. He liked what he was doing, but somehow he didn't think the group and David were catching on like they had hoped, and it was getting David down. David was tired of being thought of as a Dylan lackey (he played on New Morning) and was trying hard for a separatejttentity which no one would grant him. The band never worrW about whether its stuff was political or not, commerical or not; they just let things flow and usually liked what came out. Maybe the next album will give David a name of his own. He certainly deserves it. Hot English bands forestall 'tin ears' This town hasn't had a good concert in quite a while and was probably developing tin ears. But once again, Festival East came to the rescue, bringing Buffalo two of the "hottest" items in England. January 22nd phantom of the opera number on the keyboards, was superb. The group also did a rendition of Yankee Doodle on flutes by was the date and Kleinhans the place as hundreds stormed in for this new genesis. After all, Alvin Lee and Co. with Gentle Giant as second billing is nothing to sneeze four of the members. And would you believe an electric violin? Ray Shulman performed a fantastic solo number on this instrument, climaxed with the effects of a strobe light. The crowd simply went wild and loved every minute. It was truly an at. electrifying experience. The crowd was typical of Buffalo: a few glitter freaks, some stud types, and a dash of morons all dispersed in a sea of faces. Although most people were there to cultivate their musical tastes, a few just came because it was something to do. (How else do you describe someone who thought Alvin Lee and Co. performed ''motorcycle rock?" Since when is ignorance bliss! Hot start After a terse Illustration of the exquisite acoustics provided by those hallowed halls, Gentle Giant came on stage. Following a countdown stunt, they opened their set with the majestic piece, "Proclamation." Even though it was the first number, the group really began getting into their music. As the crowd sensed this, it grew more receptive with each rhythmic burst until everyone was mesmerized. And to keep us within their spell, "Aspiration" was played Its haunting vocals and caressing riffs next. music." After Ten Years After Moving on to different and better (?) things brings us the topic of Alvin Lee. Once the masterful guitarist of Ten Years After, he has now followed the paths of numerous other artists, "making his own seemed to float right through my head. Kerry Minnear was fantastic in his white cello solo and the crowd simply ate it up. Now they were really warming up. Performing from an LP never released here {In The Glass House] Gentle Giant played up a storm. A synthesizer solo in the dark along with a slapstick comedy routine between the guitarist (Gary Green) and keyboard player (Kerry Minnear) were just a few of the highlights. But the ultimate experience of their set still to come. Not until they performed some of the best material from Octopus was their full musical excellence evident. The phenomenal guitaring of Garry Green on his three guitars followed by a little was Such was the case at this concert. Casually walking on stage, Alvin Lee and Co. were certainly a sight to behold. Just looking at this eight member band made one wonder what old Alvin was up to. We sure found out soon enough. Starting with "Got To Keep Moving," the crowd immediately began bopping to its nice heavy bass rhythm. But it stopped here. Alvin was doing his soul gig and the crowd just didn't buy it. Noted for his stompin' screamin' boogie numbers, Alvin was now into rhythm and blues. One disillusioned fa_oJ<ept screaming, "Let's go back to Woodstock!" But Alvin Lee copped out. Instead he bestowed upon us some profound words: "They're living in the past. What's gone is gone, and what's cornin' is cornin'." This really shook the crowd. Here he was telling them, ever so politely, that this is where it's at or else to fuck off. The remainder of his set was flooded with shouts and murmurs from the crowd. I think he got the message Coin' home? Don't get me wrong. His performance was pretty good, but far from great. Alvin stood there in his forceful manner with full mastery of his guitar. That lucious husky voice of his was right in tune, adding pure pulsating power to the music. Ian Wallace was pretty fierce on the drums, and Mel Collin really zipped around playing the sax. So what was missing? No body chemistry. The audience was on a completely different wavelength than the band. However it did respond to a few rather nice numbers like the slow mystic melody of "Freedom For the Stallion" and the positive vibes in "Money Honey." The blues-boogie lick machine finally broken down and taken Alvin with it. But perhaps he'll take the hint start goin' back home. Right now, going nowhere. — has Lee and he's Sue l/Vos �Coffeehouse presents bluegrass weekend Get out your spoons (for playing not eating). The UB Coffeehouse is again in session in Cafeteria 118, Norton Hall. Tonight, the foot stomping music of Bjlly Hamilton and the Bluegrass Almanac will fill the cafeteria with music and people. Billy and his boys are a popular favorite here on campus. The group consists of Billy Hamilton on mandolin, Dave Sada, banjo, Lee Fullerton, bass, Dick Menn, guitar and Andy Hamilton, vocals. All of the men are on the faculty or staff of this campus. And tomorrow night, Jean Ritchie! The youngest of 14 children, Jean was born and raised in Viper, Kentucky, in the heart of the southern Appalachian mountains. Walled in by the rugged Cumberland ridgos, the Ritchies continued to farm using primitive methods, and entertained themselves by playing party games, ballads and love plaints handed down through the generations from their Scottish, English and Irish ancestors. Although changing times have caught up with the people of the mountains, folk still love to sing the old songs. The New York Times says: "Jean Ritchie is one of the finest authentic traditional folk singers we have in the U.S. today!" Ms. Ritchie's latest book. Celebration of Life, has won a national prize. Her biography appears in several books, most noteworthy, in Who's, Who of American Women. There have been many more accolades bestowed on Jean Ritchie, but seeing is believing, so I believe I will see you at the Coffeehouse tomorrow night (First Floor Cafeteria; two shows, 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.). Juilliard Quartet a tapestry of sounds Thursday, January 23, was a beautiful day. I exercised in the crisp a book. But the day was clouded by the night, its joys meaningless in comparison to that evening's ecstasy. O.K., granted, critics can get carried away. There rarely seems to be any emotional shades of gray. One's spirit either swims in black pools of intellectualized despair (John Simon on film) or climbs Olympian peaks, seeking the orgasmic potentials of the soul (Huxley: Doors of Perception). air. I read There is reasonong to support this polar oriented behavior. Critics have systems, flower beds of the mind, from which their opinions spring. They overlap their opinion with the offered opinion of the artist: two images transcribed on different pieces of clear cellophane. When placed on top of each other the images either mesh or don't mesh. Those that mesh are great creations: the perfection of an American Beauty Rose. Those that don't are weeds to be pulled out or destroyed with sophisticated verbiage: intellectual insecticide to wit, wit. Thursday night was a flower of phantasmagoric conception. The Julliard String Quartet. Mozart. Bartok. Mendelssohn. Then Mozart, again. Just incredible. Of course it could have been terrible. The music could have been poorly played. It wasn't. The crowd could have been unresponsive. It wasn’t. Grand. Yes, that's what it was, grand. — Tapestry The evening began with Mozart's Quartet in B flat major, (K. 589, 1790). A refined tapestry of sounds, the musicians wove their threads into patterns that created audial forms of great clarity and beauty. Each individual performance was exquisitely rendered so that the tapestry took on a thicker texture. Each musician formed a set whose sub-sets were the gentlest nuances in handling, the clearest tones, the most elegant carriage. As second violin, Robert Mann was exceptionally tasteful, not allowing himself to fall prey to a passionate interpretation which so often spoils the balance of a Mozart quartet. He carried his part with a sensitive precision that set the tone for this piece. The second piece on the program was Bartok's Quartet no. 6, (1939). A difficult piece, it conveys a feeling evocative of big city life: frenzied and disjunctive, but with an elusive core (pattern of reality) that emparts a confusing cohesiveness. We are forced to question our relation to it simply because we are not sure how it can exist, although we cannot deny that it does. 'Baal' A story of 'asocial m an' Baal eventu illy destroys himself through his sheer grossness (he gets fatter and fatter as the play progresses) and the accompanying decay.

Martin Maniak (a name In the first three movements, Bartok juxtaposes very agitated that fits the role) gave an excellent performance as moments with very still ones. The still moments lend no sense of calm Baal, despite a severe shortcoming. to the work; rather, they intensify its hectic nature by their surprising involuntarily.

They remained above it, interpreting their parts rather than merely keeping up with them. they Mendelssohn: sunshine The third piece was Mendelssohn's Quartet No. 3 in D major, (Op. 44, No. 1). Earl Carlyss, violin, was masterful here. The merging sweetness of Mendelssohn (mental reaction: sunshine, a Sunday in summer, your lover in communion with you in a large field of elegant pink and white Holly Hocks, the field encased by a perimeter of lush white pines cascading deep green from straight brown poles, blue blankets all. You smile. Your lover smiles. Sunshine) allows for a large degree of personal expression. One is expected to be both loose and personal in one's rendition of it. Although all the members were skillfully submersed in the work's flow, Carlyss displayed an ability to formalize his emotional depth and led the piece, especially in the second movement, Minuetto, which never succumbed to a staid dance, but showed lightness and flexibility, soaring from beat to beat without drowning its tempo. Although the Mendelssohn piece was intended to end the concert, thunderous applause convinced the Quartet to perform an encore. Carlyss joked, "There is an old Chinese proverb: An evening that begins with Mozart must end with Mozart." This writer was not familiar with the short piece they played, but was pleased with its quality. - Inspiring Truly, the greatest inspiration comes when dealing within fixed limits. Mozart dealt with tone, pitch, and tempo, limits well known. He adroitly realized the inifinite possibilities of subtle arrangement. Each time I hear his work the infinite range of free association between sense and mind, sound and idea, is reopened to me, leaving me exuberant, charged and awed. Before last Thursday, I never experienced so much energy in one room in my entire life. The intense concentration of 400 people focused on an abstract arrangement could actually be felt. Energy, to the point of sparks. Sparks, to the point of life. Life, to the point of immortality. The Julliard String Quartet.

Birth Dance/ a celebration of feminism, at Baird Hall Daniela Gioseffi, poet and self-proclaimed shaman or ritual priestess of feminism, will perform her birth dance this evening at 8 p.m. in Baird Hall. birth dance is a dance of liberation for modern women, an expression of the joy of being female, and yet it bears an unmistakebale resemblance to the belly dance of Little Egypt, with its bazouki music, gold-encrusted costumes, finger cymbals and rolls and shimmies. Although it seems contradictory that a woman might experience her liberation in a dance associated with the harem, smoke-filled cafes and leering men, Ms. Gioseffi points out that the belly dance has not always had these associations. Prehistoric worship of the Earth Goddess took the form of a woman's dance that was also supposed to aid fertility. As women's rule was supplanted by men's control, the birth dance degenerated into a "narrow, smutty form of sex the hootchy-kootchy." — Revolutionary magic Ms. Gioseffi feels that "the revolution will have been won when every woman can do the belly The following is a selection from Ms. Gioseffit's dance It was a dance created by women for women in honor of their magical ability to Birth Dance, Belly Dancer (An Invocation to Be reproduce," but "it has been perverted by the sexist, Chanted to Primitive Music): Think of her not as herself patriarchal society into a burlesque of the female." but as an Etruscan priestess Correctly appreciated, the belly dance unites a through whom the spirit of the earth speaks, woman with her ancestral sisters whose role in a a pagan witch who enters veiled in the mystery matriarchal society went unquestioned, and allows of a world beyond sight. . her to experience the glory of her body and the . . . navel hidden, mysterious circuit, fullness of her womanhood by overwhelming the Ms. meaning. plug of the first cries of the dance's electrical male'determination Gioseffi has made a startling reinterpretation of an thrust from the womb. . . .

So from now on I'm calling it "Women In Love." It’ll still appear as "But Seriously ...” hut you can refer to it as “Women In Love. Be sure to tell your friends of the change. Today’s column was A supplemental note written specifically for stupid people. The other day I received my first piece of mail in almost two months. It was a letter from a life insurance company. They wanted to sell me a policy. “Why do 1 need this?” I asked myself. - " - “I’m just a kid!” You’re not a kid anymore, “ nyeh, nyeh You’re not a kid anymore, nyeh, nyeh I told my conscience to shut up. The next morning, I got another letter. This time from the Marines. It read: “We want you, Mr. Alzamora. And we’re going to get you too because there’ll be no jobs available in June and your GAF degree can’t buy shit. Enlist now and save us the trouble of getting you.” You’re not a kid anymore, nyeh, nyeh You’re not a kid anymore, nyeh, nyeh Last evening, I phoned my benefactor.

My days of professional studentism are rapidly drawing to an end and I’m beginning to feel the pangs of true adulthood. Dimples turn to wrinkles, small cuts and bruises become severe lacerations, the wine’s turned sour, the roses have died, my bonnie lies over the ocean. I’ve talked to a few people who graduated last December. One fellow said that life was different OUT THERE. “It’s like dying before you get baptised a Catholic, and going to limbo,” he said, “I would give my left testicle to get back into school.” “I’ve come in contact with so many different To the Editor. . types of people,” said one gal. “They don’t look like the people in school, they don’t act like the people in school, they don’t fart like the people in school. You’re going to run into a lot of married couples, and it’s • obvious that some women have lost their virginity.” Obvious indeed. Perhaps the scariest aspect of graduation is the altering of routines as one man put it: “During the semester, I would get up late, forsake any morning duties, smoke pot until late afternoon, eat dinner, smoke pot, and catch a movie. Now that I’ve graduated, I haven’t seen a good movie in over a month!” I can’t understand where all the years have gone. It seems like only yesterday, I was a mulking, puking babe with dreams that stretched to Oz and a disposition that made Shirly Temple seem like Mitch Regenbogen. The Yellowbrick Road is as dead as my dreams. Garland is dead; George Reeves is dead; Freddie’s dead. Noel Neil is still alive and that depresses me even more. I’m not ready to be called “Mister.” If there’s nothing worse than having a name that consistently mispronounce, it’s having that name with the prefix “Mister” added. I’m not ready to have kids. (Marriage is a concept that 1 can’t even envision.) If I really want kids that bad, I’ll park outside some playground and wave a bag of candy in front of some chubby five-year-old and say “Come with me for a ride.” Jesus! What if that’s the only job I can find after graduation? Once grammar school lets out for the summer, I’ll be unemployed people again. When 1 look at some of those smiling younger faces, the strong boys who could care less about life, the young flowers waiting to be plucked, I sigh “Who are these nerds?” The juniors are nerds, the sophomores are nerdier, and the freshmen are the nerdiest. The lonely voice of youth keeps crying “What is truth?” and I can’t answer that. Maybe someday you’ll see my face among the clouds and you’ll remember to take yolir raincoat next time. I really don’t mean to depress anyone facing the same blealc future but if 1 go. I’m going to drag the rest of you with me. Boycott Ziegler To the Editor. Over the past week (as well as last semester), there has been a great deal of pressure to bring William Kunstler to campus to speak. Primarily this event is desired to bring a pertinent and timely issue to the student body sp that they may be informed of such situations. Speakers’ Bureau Director Stan Morrow, at Monday’s Student Judiciary Hearing, stated that one prominent reason for not bringing Kunstler to this campus was his “fear” that the honorarium paid to Mr. Kunstler might go to the Attica Brothers Legal Defense. This is very noble of Mr. Morrow, worrying about how and where our student fees are spent after they leave this University. It is too bad that Mr. Morrow’s conscience is not so consistent and “righteous.” He was very concerned where $500 will go, yet he felt none of his “morality” when it came to contract Mr. Ron Ziegler of Watergate fame for a considerably higher rate (estimated at $3,000). Now I truly feel that morality is in question. Here is a man who was a critical factor in one of our nation’s greatest disgraces. He was instrumental in a myriad of shams put over on the American people. Yet it is all right to reward this man for his effort by paying him an outrageous fee to propogate his “fall guy” position and plead the persecution of the Nixon Administration. Where is your conscience and morality, Mr. Morrow? Do you honestly believe the students’ best interests are being met? I highly respect and commend the student body of Boston University for rejecting the proposal to have Ziegler speak at their University for the very same reasons I of context have mentioned Unfortunately, Mr. Morrow has informed me that Mr. Ziegler’s contract has been signed at the writing of this letter, meaning that there is very little we can do to stop him from coming. I do however urge all students, faculty, staff and community persons to boycott Mr. Ziegler’s engagement on Feb. 27. Taking this situation into account, I honestly feel that this man and others like him must know that they cannot expect respect and notoriety for their morally criminal acts because they got an agent to place them on the college speaking tour. The problem here is not whether or not this type of situation is a problems with the mandatory student activities fee. It is a problem with the input that the students have with student government on this campus. That is the key. Like all other elected officials, SA officials are responsible to their constituency you. Elections are coming up in the Student Association. Vote for someone that meets your needs and what you want from Student Government. The concept of mandatory student fees can offer you a variety of programs and services that you can use, all we need is input from you the student to make Student Association be for you. In closing, I would like to ask again that everyone BOYCOTT Ron Ziegler’s speech on February 27, 1975 and that Mr. Morrow and friends in the Student Association spread their morality in a way that would truly be in the interests of the student body and our country. Social Sciences College affirms the position of paragraph two of my letter of January 10, 1975, which you quoted in your issue of Monday, January 20. Since you not only quoted portions of the letter out of context but changed the wording we of the College would like to have a correction printed in an early issue. The choice is not between one of “discussing” or abolishing the College, but one of dismissing implications and/or charges of the violation of principles of academic freedom or abolishing it. If academic freedom is being violated anywhere in the University, who would wist to wait twelve months to stop such violation? William W. Stein Professor of Anthropology and Executive Officer of Social Sciences College Benign neglect To the Editor. to Debbie Richard’s letter of 29th was insufficient and insulting. Whether the page on the tragedy of the nickel candy bar was an article or an advertisement is irrelevant to the issue of the lack of comment about the defamation of the Jewish Student Union bulletin board. To ignore the issue of anti-semitism which is Your response January raised by the appearance of swastikas in Norton Hall is a distinct failure on the part of the campus newspaper. To remain silent is to tacitly condone. If a whole page can (or must) be devoted to such trifling issues as the tragedy of the nickel candy bar, then certainly the editors of The Spectrum can do more than pursue a policy of “benign neglect” about the problems of a significant minority group of students. To justify silence by pleading financial difficulty is no answer at all. Susan Handelman The mandatory fee goes To the Editor I would like to respond to an advertisement which appeared in The Spectrum on Friday, January 24. The article read “The Ellicott Party was sponsored by the Mandatory Student Fee.” The Ellicott Party, held on Saturday, January 18 in the Student Club was not in any way connected with or funded by the mandatory fee. It sounded like they just decided to take the credit for a good party which other people worked so hard to make a success. I question the accuracy of the other advertisement in The Spectrum concerning the mandatory fee. If is is an example of the kind of bullshit they’re trying to feed me, I say vote “No” for the mandatory student fee on February 5, 6 and 7. Gene Gowdey American Revolution Bicentennial — David M.

Which showed the injustice done by leaving Randy off the all-star team. To the Editor: In regard to frustrated Knick fan Mike O’Neill’s article on the Buffalo Braves 105-99 victory over the New York Knicks, we would like to bring up the 6 It should also be noted that the Knicks’ offense consists of Walt Frazer and Earl Monroe against the world. Due to the Knicks’ lack of talent, it requires a top notch performance by these two to keep them in any game. If it were possible for them to make the Braves’ squad, they would do a lot of bench warming and collect many splinters. 7 In future games against New York, we should allow them a few extra players on the court, or spot them twenty points just to make it a game and keep the fans from getting bored. — following points: I — Mr. O’Neill was correct in his statement that the Knicks are a second division team and if it wasn’t for the 76’ers the Knicks could be cellar dwellers for years to come. In regard to his comments concerning the lackluster performance of the Braves, the question arises how can someone get up for a team like the New York Knicks. 3 His statement noting the presence of many Joseph Pericozzi naive fans, attests to the fact that there were a Larry Campo number of New York Knicks’ fans present. Note: has not been Mr. O’Neill seen since he 4 Mr. O’Neill noted the return of Ernie D., it Editor’s his the Knicks-Braves writing analysis that he pointed year be out was rookie of the finishe'd of should last year and had more assists than the entire Knick game.

Wherever you are Mike, noting that Randy Smith again left Walt Frazer it’s true. 2 — — - — ” — To the Editor. I must admit that I was truly shocked at Michael O’Neill’s alleged “Sports Analysis” in Monday’s issue of The Spectrum. One would think that the Managing Editor of The Spectrum would not succumb to the temptation to gleefully dump on Buffalo, but he did. Mr. O’Neill was not content to moum the passing of his beloved Knicks; he had to engage in city-knocking. His so-called “analysis” proved to be nothing more than yet another attempted hatchet job on Buffalo. Instead of offering a real description of the game, he raps the fans here, saying they are “naive.” (This is in contrast, 1 take it, to the highly sophisticated New York fans, whose teams practice Deeee-fense by ducking the whiskey bottles flung at their heads by the knowledgeable New York fans.) Mr. O’Neill also says that “few of the fans seemed overly interested in the game’s outcome," and that they “kept one eye on the scoreboard for the outcome of the Celtic game.” Having been to Madison Square Garden a number of times myself, I feel sure that the fans there would follow other games, too if only they had a decent scoreboard to follow them upon. For all the service, the MSG board gives, they might as well have a kid up there with a blackboard and a piece of chalk! While we’re on the subject of comparisons, how can Mr. O’Neill berate the Buffalo fans (who are mostly from Buffalo, despite Mr. O’Neill’s baseless charges) for “squandering” up to seven dollars a ticket to see the best player in the league. Bob McAdoo, when scalpers get over $100 each for tickets to see a team that boasts of Jesse Dark, Dennis Bell, and Harthorne Wingo? Finally, I must in all honesty admit that I was not at the particular game which Mr. O’Neill was, ahem, “covering.” I was, along with more than 2,000 of the Buffalo fans whom Mr. O’Neill regards with such undeserved scorn, at a Sabres game. — Go home to New York I suggest that the fans you saw who were uninterested in the game were your fellow frustrated I address this to Mike O’Neill, a Managing Editor Knicks’ fans, the ones who act nonchalant when of The Spectrum. their teams are losing but shoot their mouths off After reading your comments on the when they are ahead, which is seldom. I also suggest that the “moves” of Earl Monroe Braves—Knicks game, I concluded that you are not only a Knicks’ fan (short for fanatic), but also happened after the game, in the losing team’s locker anti-Buffalo. Not anti-Buffalo Braves, but anti the room lav. So, Mike, the next time you decide to have an city.

Many excessive halls with and lounges now operate scattered lighting, and the University will eventually try to conserve energy in the libraries and office buildings. “The Health Science Library has an overabundance of “candle hours,” or light intensity, Mr. Sarra explained, “It is not the fault of the librarians, but of the engineers.” At 9 p.m. every night, supply and exhaust fans are turned off in office buildings, which reduces the need for heat and helps maintain the room temperature at 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Mr. Sarra said there is no way to leave the fans running in selective rooms. There is also a “weatherhead” on the outside of most buildings on campus which automatically opens heating vents when the building temperature drops below noted. 68 he degrees, Additionally, there is an apparatus inside the buildings that can override the outside device in the event of a malfunction.

Workers consist of specially trained security women and members of the Erie County Task Force Against Rape. for Spokesmen Syracuse University, which has a comparatively high rate of sexual assaults, would not disclose any statistics or means of prevention. The number of sex crimes at the State University at Albany has risen drastically within the past year, although it is still relatively low. This is probably due to the increase in reported cases, indicated James Williams, director of Campus Police, and is with the nationwide spread of reported incidents, especially at schools in Denver and Boston. The New York state capital, in general, has a low rate of sex crimes, probably accounting for the low rate on the consistant campus. Dangerous rides More than half of all the sex crimes reported at Albany last year involved women who were hitching. Since buses between the uptown and downtown campuses stop running at an early hour, students often hitch at night. Although no student car pools been formed, the Campus Police have adopted a policy to pick up all women hitchhikers and drive them home. Women will not receive a ride if they request one, but will be picked up if spotted hitching and lectured to on the dangers of hitching, Mr. Williams said. This “hitchhiking campaign” has been the major effort towards rape prevention at the State have University at First Aid Squad • Albany, although DAILY CROSSWORD PUZZLE some crimes do occur in the dorms. “The suite arrangement here makes it impossible to know if someone is murdered in the next room,” Mr. Williams said.

Starting next fall the women will compete in both regular season and tournament competition (volleyball, tennis and basketball). Buffalo will host the volleyball tournament next November. The conference is designed to promote local interest in college athletics and cut traveling budgets for the four Western New York schools. Rebounding from loss hockey Bulls down Salem St , by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor It took them LYNN, MASS. but Buffalo games Hockey (he 22 Bulls finally played up to their potential Wednesday night, beating Salem St., 5-1. The Massachusetts team had been considered a shoe-in to make the ECAC Division two playoffs. “I think the other night was my fault,” reflected Buffalo coach Ed Wright refering to Monday’s penalty-laden loss to St. Anselm’s. “I got them angry and then they went out and got all those penalties. Today [Wednesday] they played much more low keyed.” The Bulls received only ten minutes in penalties in the Salem contest as opposed to over 80 against St. Anselm’s. - All smiles Wright couldn’t help but be a r little surpirsed in the results of a changed attitude. “I thought they were all psyched up the other night and they lost. Tonight they were pretty cool in the locker room.” The Bulls played their best forechecking game of the year, hoping to take the burden off the three remaining defensemen, one of whom (Mike Caruana) is really a converted forward. Buffalo had lost two of its defenders, Mark Sylvester and Paul Songin, with game suspensions Monday night. The remaining defenders, particularly Mike Perry, consistently broke up Viking passes into the goal area. They were then able to send the Buffalo forwards on numerous breakaways resulting in two goals and several near misses. Goalie John Moore, who has played outstanding hockey all season, finally had it pay off. Often peppered with numerous gzwmZ “i Moore received greater support than ever and was able to turn back all but one of 25 shots. Playoff hopes The win improved the Bulls chances for an ECAC playoff spot. “If we win the rest of the games in the division,” observed Ed Wright, “we’ll have an 11—3—1 record. It would be tough to overlook us with 11 wins.” This will be easier said than done with opponents like American International, Ithaca College and Oswego State on the schedule. After their surprising win and a little celebration the Bulls bussed it back to Buffalo yesterday, to prepare for this weekend’s series with powerful Western Michigan. If Buffalo can defeat the Mustangs twice, and by a total of six goals or more, they will qualify for a CCHL playoff spot. Being in two different conferences doubles the Bulls’ playoff chances, but they are not about to back into either one.

Potsdam 99, Buffalo 19. 27. at Brockport GIF by Bruce Engel Many journalists start out writing obituaries. It’s not very exciting work. It would be a tasteless pun to say that it is dead stuff, but the fact is that most obituaries aren’t very exciting to either read or write. Nonetheless they are a necessary part of the daily newspaper. Furthermore they require careful, accurate research as well as basic, precise writing skills. As such they provide good training for the lucky journalists who later escape to the land of the living. Personally, I didn’t start my career writing obits. 1 got into sports right off and, for better or for worse, I’m still there. I thought once, when a Buffalo wrestler went against a character that outweighed him by over 200 pounds, that I might finally have to write an obituary. Fortunately, he survived. He lost, but he survived. Of course, I’ve only worked for student newspaper and students aren’t dying in sufficient numbers to warrant an obituary section, thank God. I still haven’t had the experience, nor do I care to. However in the next few weeks the occasion may arise. It might read something like this. (Obituaries SUNY at Buffalo athletics passed away peacefully the other day, following years of illness. Causes of death were listed as terminal apathy, chronic stubbornness, financial debilitation, traumatic inflation, failure to communicate and bureaucratic bungling. The program never fully recovered from the 1971 loss of its pride and joy football. Depression led to serious illness, and Drs. Frank Jackalone and Scott Salimando, the fourth set of surgeons to take the case, lost the patient last week. Athletics, beloved but controversial brother of intramurals and recreation, was survived by parents Harry Fritz and Jim Peelle who cried at the ceremony in remembrance of the deceased’s glorious past. Through the years the dear departed had been renowned for many successful ventures in football, crew (both of which had to be amputated somewhat before the very end) basketball, baseball, track, hockey, fencing, soccer and wrestling. Resilient to the end, the program had just undertaken a new project, women’s athletics, with its last dying breaths. The program was also survived l?y 18 coaches, over 200 athletes and several advisors. Pallbearers Richardson, Wright, Michael, Monkarsh and Anderson will carry the deceased to its final resting place adjacent to its ancient home in Clark Hall. — Hong Kong Chicken with vegetable Lichee Guy Kew (Chicken Balls with Lichees) Gol Lai Hat stuffed with Minced Meats, Sweet and Sour Scallops. — Women's Basketball (1—1): January 27, at Brockport Buffalo 10 10 20 Brockport 34 31 65 Buffalo Scoring: Barrone 8.

The fact that it is just barely possible scares me a little. The Somit committee dealing with athletics should, and probably will, recommend some major change in the program. With important figures like Fritz, Jackalone and Somit as part of this effort, it is difficult to believe that whatever they decide will not come to pass. Dropping the whole kit and kaboodle is, fortunately, the least of several possibilities, but one that should not be taken lightly. If communication should break down or frustration reach an even higher level, it may not be too long before certain people become disgusted enough to start throwing in the towel. The biggest hope for this committee’s success is the fact that unlike previous efforts, the University Administration is actively involved. The Administration, quite frankly, is the only party capable of whipping either or both the Athletic Department and the Student Association (SA) into line if it comes to that. Once again I’m sorry if I've scare anyone. Actually the only way the program will die is if these two parties. Athletic Department and SA cannot work things out. They are both going to have to swallow a little pride in the process. The Athletic Department has stuck to its philosophic guns for many years now. Let them be warned that if they stick any longer, they may go down with the ship Perhaps that’s what they want, if their professional pride is so important. SA is m the same bind. They'll lose something very good if they don't give a little. Tr shame of it is that if nobody gives, the real losers are you, the studer Friday, 31 January 1975 , The Spectrum . Page seventeen �Women cagers lose star, game IRC rentals “They’re the best team we’ll face all season,” sighed Women’s basketball coach Carolyn Thomas after her' Bulls were trounced at Brockport, 65-20, last Monday night. Worse yet for Buffalo, star center Ann Trapper’s broken ankle is in a cast and will keep her out of action for at least three weeks. The Bulls knew that the Golden Eagles would be their toughest opponents of the season. Brockport came into the game boasting a 10-2 record and a second place finish in the New York State Championships a year ago. Without Trapper, the Bulls were beaten from the start by Brockport’s height advantage and experience. The Golden Eagles ran vote! all over Buffalo with spectacular drives and phenomenal outside shooting, leaving the crowd oohing and aahing. The lone bright for Buffalo was the continued good play of captain Chris Barone, who again led the Bulls in scoring with eight points. Her long jumper at the start of the game gave the Bulls a short-lived 2-0 lead which quickly evaporated to a 34-10 half time deficit. In the second half, with the outcome already determined, both coaches cleared their benches and the Bulls began looking ahead to easier competition.

Youngsters compete in ice hockey league by Dan Greenbaum Spectrum Staff Writer The second annual Amherst Kiwanis invitational hockey tournament was held at the Amherst Recreational Center last week, but it’s not likely that many people were aware of it, since even the most avid sports Why everybody’s pretending they’re us. fans don’t often follow the competition of 9-12 year olds. But if examined closely the idea of youngsters competing in organized hockey at such a young age is every interesting. For one thing, hockey is unlike any other major sport because before a youngster can play the game he must be able to skate an ability alien to his everyday life. — Hockey sense However many of the kids can do more than skate. They are not just taught to skate and shoot. They are taught real “hockey sense.” The importance of good positioning, good passing, converging on the net and centering the puck. The training is more advanced than little league baseball where little more than the basics (hitting, fielding, throwing) are taught. The Kiwanis league is one of "ihe largest in the state and among the best in Western New York. In addition to its own internal competition, the league fields traveling teams for two age groups that are undefeated in this area and have done surprisingly well against Canadian opposition. Last year one of the teams finished third in a national tournament. Pat Rimar, tournament chairman and a coach in the league, said there are almost 1400 youngsters in the program and indicated that if the geographic restrictions were loosened (only Town of Amherst residents are eligible) there could be up to 3500. The league must also be popular among the parents who are willing (or forced as the case may be) to get up at 5 a.m. to bring their kids to practice sessions.

Of course, if you ask the kids, winning is still where its at. The league requires that there be Ifne changes every two minutes, and that teams match their best lines to prevent mismatches. This tends to keep the games close as well as giving everyone playing time. Equipment is standard except for the helmets which have visors and jaw protectors for added safety. The players are not really strong, agile or fast enough to hurt each other anyway. Rimar could not recall a serious injury in two years of league play. �at low prices.

The Judiciary chose to deal only with the question of whether students would suffer “irreperable harm” if Mr. Morrow was allowed to finalize a $3000 contract to have Ronald Reagan speak here, thereby precluding any chance of having leftover funds to finance an appearance by William Kunstler. In the same way, Chief Justice Larry Katz was concerned that a restraining order not do “irreparable harm to Stan’s position” as Speaker’s Bureau Chairman, since he might possibly have to break a verbal agreement with Mr. Reagan’s agent if the Assembly opts for Mr. Kunstler. In ruling for the complainants. Rich Sokolow and Gloria Pruzan, Mr. Katz decided not to rule on the question of merit, or who was right or wrong. It confined its decision simply to whether the requested restraining order was justified something that depends solely on whether one party stands to suffer irreparable harm. — Assembly action Monday’s meeting of the Student Judiciary, however, was by no means the final round of this fight. The next, and possibly decisive round will be fought at today’s Assembly meeting. At the hearing Monday, Mr. Morrow conceded that he was bound to follow any explicit directive from the Assembly on any matter involving programming of speakers. All parties to the case are anticipating some explicit statement from ar the Assembly today. , It was the Assembly’s confused series of motions at its November 20 meeting that created the problem. The original series of resolutions was largely incoherent. Had all been passed, Mr. Morrow would have been directed: 1 to make an appearance by Mr. Kunstler a priority, 2 to see if bringing Mr. Kunstler to campus is possible, and, 3 to bring Mr. Kunstler to campus without regard to possibility. As it turned out, the Assembly decided not to insist that Mr. Kunstler appear if he did not wish to. But no further exceptions relating to cost or availability of Mr. Kunstler were stated or implied. - — - Vague mandate Because the third question, which would have constituted a directive to Mr. Morrow to contract with Mr. Kunstler, did not pass, Mr. Morrow was forced to interpret motions that said nothing stronger than that he ought to consider Mr. Kunstler a programming priority. The motions as passed did not even establish Mr. Kunstler as a top priority, only as one priority among many. Legislative intent is a valid criterion for interpreting unclear legislation, but the intent test yields equally ambiguous results. Those interested in forcing the Kunstler appearance say with some justice that the Assembly wanted Mr. Morrow to sign Mr. Kunstler. Bui the final motion, which would have explicitly directed that intent, was postponed indefinitely by a vote larger than that which approved the motion to get Mr. Kunstler. In effect, given an opportunity to clearly express its views on a Kunstler appearance, the Assembly explicitly rejected the opportunity. But the questions at today’s Assembly meeting are expected to be political, not legal. Petition question Tire pro-Kunstler forces will bring up the petitions signed by 300 students asking for Mr. Kunstler to appear. No doubt someone will question the validity of the petition. The Student Judiciary (SJ) issued a restraining order Monday that prevents Speakers Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow from finalizing any speaker’s contracts at least until tomorrow. The action was part of the controversy that developed after the Student Assembly instructed Mr. Morrow Limited budget After the last semester to consider William november 20 Kunstler a “priority” for the meeting, when it became clear that it was possible to obtain Mr. spring speakers’ program. The Judiciary will review its Kunstler’s services, Mr. Sokolow order tomorrow at 5 p.m. after claims Mr. Morrow did not make evaluating today’s Assembly sufficient effort to do so. He cited actions. The legislative body will Mr. Morrow’s letter to Mr. reconsider its previous decision in Kunstler, which lowered the SA which it labelled the appearance of Mr. Kunstler a “priority” but defeated that proposal a specifically instructed Mr. Morrow to retain Mr. Kunstler. The request for the restraining order was brought by Richard Sokolow and Gloria Pruzan, both of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) of £pffalo, who charged that the wishes of the Student Assembly were “superseded by the willful dodging of the matter” by Mr. Morrow. Negative feedback Mr. Morrow claimed at the hearing Monday that while the Student Assembly has the power to direct his activities as Speakers Bureau Chairman, the Assembly had only recommended that he bring Mr. Kunstler on campus to speak, He Said he had made several attempts to persuade Mr. Kunstler to come to the University. However, Mr. Sokolow charged that Mr. Morrow had offered the As anyone who has circulated or signed a petition knows, one can get 300 students to sign anything. Over 2,000 signed the petition to turn the student government over to Michael “Lev” Levinson several years ago. The argument will run further that the petition did not specify alternatives. Some who signed the petition have already said they did not anticipate that demanding Kunstler would mean someone else could not appear. Petitions to sign, for example, Dan Rather, Senator Edward Kennedy, Woody Allen or Gerald Ford would quickly draw over 300 signatures. In short order, any ambitious student could get petitions showing mass support for a of any speaker’s program far beyond student government to provide, f The constitutional question of who should decide who speaks will probably break down to a question of who wants Kunstler and who wants Mr. Morrow’s program If, as seems likely, the petition question proves irrelevant and the question of constitutional principle becomes a rationalization for speaker preferences, what will determine how the Student Assembly resolves the issue? Probably chance. What finally settles the controversy will most likely be which 20-25 percent of the Assembly comes to the meeting today. According to Mr. Sokolow, a third motion to order Mr. Morrow to obtain Mr. Kunstler was defeated because the Assembly did not want to mandate what might have been impossible. Mr. Morrow indicated, however, that the third motion was defeated because the Assembly had not strongly supported Mr. Kunstler. Stan Morrow controversial lawyer between $700 and $1,000 less than his usual fee. Defending his actions, Mr. Morrow explained that he was approached last October by members of the Attica Brothers Legal Defense (ABLD), who asked that he try to get Mr. Kunstler to speak. But after “asking around,” Mr. Morrow said he received negative feedback because Mr. Kunstler had spoke here once before. William Kunstler offer to $500 because of a “limited budget.” Mr. Sokolow, in his request for a restraining order, said $500 is “considered to be the lowest amount offered” to any speaker. The Speakers Bureau paid Noel Neill (Lois Lane) $1,100 and has offered former California Governor Ronald Reagan $3,000. Mr. Reagan had originally wanted $5,000, Mr. Morrow remarked, stressing that it was in the best interests of the student body to get all of these speakers. Additionally, Mr. Morrow said he received no response from Mr. Kunstler after the $500 offer. But Mr. Sokolow claimed that Mr. Kunstler’s representatives have been trying unsuccessfully to reach Mr. Morrow, and that Mr. Morrow had never really negotiated the $800 offer. The Speakers Bureau cannot afford to have Mr. Kunstler speak since it has already made plans to sponsor Mr. Reagan and possibly William Buckley, Mr. Morrow countered. This was why he was reluctant to pursue Mr. Kunstler’s appearance, he said. Irrepairable harm Ms. Pruzan explained that the most important factor was that Mr. Morrow has ignored the spirit, if not the letler, of the Assembly directives. Everyone at the meeting had agreed that Mr. Kunstler was a valid speaker, she asserted. Mr. Morrow said, in response, —continued on page 8— �— Shades of PHD ’987 Bailey Ave. by Charles Blaise WBUF-FM may not be the first Buffalo radio station to boast a progressive music format but it presently is the only station in town that plays music reminiscent of the old WPHD-FM. The decision to alter WBUF’s “easy-listening” format came soon after PHD was transfigured into WYSL-FM, a landmark of Top 40 listening in the Queen City. BUF is counting on those who remember how music used to sound in Buffalo to tune in to 93.7 FM. “We’re trying to model the sound after WPHD, circa 1971,” said WBUF program director Cal Brady. “But we’re not resurrecting the PHD of four months ago because there’s not much worth resurrecting.” Up to last week, WBUF played “middle of the road schlock,” explained Mr. Brady, a format that existed for the past eight to ten years. The move to go “progressive” (for lack of a better expression) occurred two months ago, and was formalized by the owner of WBUF, the station’s general manager, and Mr. Brady. No hard sell Mr. Brady labeled the new BUF as “a popular music contemporary station without hard sell.” The station will focus\ its attention on the 18 to 35 year old audience, both female. And because of\ the present situation of Buffalo radio, “we’re particularly interested in reaching older people who feel prematurely senile,” Mr. Brady maintained WBUF broadcasts each day of the week, around-the-clock. Three ex-PHD disc jockeys, Ken Wing, John Farrell and Mr. Brady, mkke up part of the staff. Two other “jocks,” Phil Chortas and Eric Traver, are also heard each day. These announcers have virtual freedom to play what they wish during their time-slots, dispensing programming sales,” said Mr. with a common radio entity, the Brady in regard to commercials. “If they’re going to hype our playlist. “We play no singles of any audience, we’ll say ‘no,” he sort,” Mr. Brady asserted. “We’re declared, while condemning hipping people to a variety of certain unethical types of business product.” approaches. In rejecting these types of Since many listeners base their record album purchases on what commercials, WBUF hopes to win they hear on the radio, WBUF will the trust and respect of its not play albums with one good, or audience. Mr. Brady said the popular single if the album is matter of professionalism was also weak on the whole. The music involved. Even if WBUF accepted a vast will essentially be older material, records that are selling well, and amount of advertising, it would be albums not presently on the three months before the station charts. From this, 60 percent of could begin breaking even, Mr. the actual playing time will Brady ascertained. But “I consist of non-current material, wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think there would be a minimal amount of pressure,” he said. The response to the new WBUF, although a week old, has been overwhelming, according to Mr. Brady. Listeners as far as Toronto and Pennsylvania have picked up the 100,000 watt station and the reaction is indeed quite favorable. WBUF has promoted itself through bumper stickers, and soon to be aired television spots. “We're relying heavily on word of mouth to sell while current and up-coming our product,” Mr. Brady said. Future plans include bringing products will fill the remaining WBUF sponsored concerts to spots. Announcers are limited to Buffalo and the transition to eight minutes of actual speaking stereo broadcasting in six to eight time each hour. This is one of the weeks. Engineers are working on a few strictly enforced rules at DOLBY noise reduction system WBUF and if Mr. Brady finds an “which will sound more like your Announcer to be “loose-jawed, stereo turntable than a radio,” find someone right for the explained Mr. Brady. WBUF is also going remote (establishing job direct telephone lines between the listener and announcer) so “Wierd” As for news reporting, Mr. requests for songs can be made.

However, is depending on “off-the-cuff news can be heard on WBUF, feedback.” If the current priase every three hours after midnight, among students here is any indication, WBUF-FM may be in seven to eight minute spans. “WBUF has liberal policies in heading for a delightful summer. / ” Page two The Spectrum Wednesday, 29 January 1975 . . — .■ 836-3177) - SALES TAX REBATE with this ad (Tun., Wed., Thun, only) Moving to progressive rock Spectrum Staff Writer •—TEMPURA—YA For the vegetarian 1.

The University is presently negotiating with the Postal Service for a North Campus substation, but as yet, there are no specific plans. Plans for funding athletics reviewed The establishment of an informal committee to study the future of athletics has aroused speculation that major policy designed to end the controversy over athletic funding decisions one way or another will be announced in the near future. The funding of intercollegiate athletics by the Student Association has long been a controversial and confusing issue for both the athletic department, which runs the program, and the Student Association (SA), which funds it. Some students have been critical of the program for a long time and they have made their feelings well known at Student Assembly meetings. Because the possibility exists that the Student Assembly may slash parts of the intercollegiate budget, the committee has been discussing issues, like how much money should be spent, which sports should be funded and on what level of competition, length of scheduling and degree of student review, and alternate means of - - funding. “Obvious kinds of questions that we have been wrestling with for years characterized the discussions,” said Executive Vice President Albert Somit, who organized the group. The informal committee includes representatives from the University Administration, Office of Student Affairs, Student Association and Athletic Department. In a sense the committee has given itself responsibility for ending the perpetual crisis over athletic funding. Short and long of it “We’re trying to work out short term solutions to the funding problem as well as proposing a more satisfactory mechanism for a long policy,” Dr. Somit explained. Failure to finalize an athletic budget until October or November in each of the last four years, it is generally agreed, has frustrated everyone concerned. SA President Frank Jackalone, a prominent committee member, described the group this way: “It is an informal committee charged with discussing the future of athletics primarily for next year.” Mr. Jackalone claims that shifting student priorities and rising inflation make the problem more critical than ever. While denying that his role was simply that of mediator between the Athletic Department and SA, Dr. Somit conceded that it was doubtful the Administration would reject a solution that satisfied the other parties. More planning Athletic Driector Dr. Harry Fritz views the major problem as a lack of stability. “The major purpose of this group is to make an effort to plan better. We’ve got to advance the date that funding is assured so that we cajj plan,” Dr. Fritz said. He added that the best result for him and his department would ultimately be a solution whereby money going to athletics would be secured by guaranteeing a fixed sum or fixed percentage of the student activity fee for the athletic department. The State University at Albany recently adopted such a system, which commits specified amounts of funds to athletics until well into the 1980s. Although recent attempts to solve the perennial athletic problem have not succeeded, Mr. Jackalone feels that things will now be different. “Other committees have looked at long range solutions. This committee has a specific focus on immediate problems,” Mr. Jackalone said, “but if its going to work,” he added, “some former attitudes must change,” note: The following is a list of possible solutions to the athletic problem that the Somit committee may come up with. These are not the only possibilities, nor do we expect any of them to he implemented in this exact manner. Thii list simply covers the Editor’s range of alternatives. I. Drop all intercollegiate programs. 2. Increase the quality of all or nearly all intercollegiate programs, and elevate the major ones to national caliber competition. 3. Using the same amount of money, drop all but the top five or six teams and use the funds to increase their spectator appeal. 4. Lower the level of the major programs to the level of the smaller ones, which is already close to the lowest level possible. 5. Establish a fixed sum or percentage of student mandatory that would go right to the athletic department to administer as fees it sees fit 6. Failure to agree upon anything new, or agreement that the status quo is the best way. In either case we would be left with the . same confusion. A newsletter from the Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY) has advised doctors that they are under no legal obligation to answer consumer group survey questions and warned that compliance with surveys may constitute a violation of the state education law.

(Representatives from NYPIRG’s senior staff attorney Nancy Kramer concluded, however, that answering survey questions does not constitute the type of “advertising” prohibited by Title VIII. \ The law does not prohibit a NYPIRG said they will request a formal ruling from the State Commissioner of Education.) But one doctor has already advised NYPIRG that researchers may run into hostility from some doctors in the survey area. Because of the current economic difficulties, the doctor explained, it is possible doctors fear that publicizing their fees may lead to government price ceilings. Additionally, he suggested that the doctors would not take kindly to having their professional privacy invaded. Another doctor, after receiving NYPIRG’s introductory letter, said he would not cooperate. In such cases, the directory will list next to the doctors name, “Refused to Cooperate.” A letter from author K.F. Walker stated: “It is my personal opinion that if doctors had not acted as benevolent monarchs toward their patients for so long, the type of service that you [NYPIRG] offers would not be required.” While Mr. Berke acknowledged that the problem of fees “may be a little touchy,” he said that “the medical organization as a whole doesn’t like to make things very public. What we’re doing is raising women’s consciousness concerning their own bodies and doctor/patient relationships.” “Doctors have always built a wall around themselves,” Ms. Siegel asserted. “Our objective is to chisel away at that wall.” NYPIRG previously published directory of general practitioners and general internists in a Guide to Queens Doctors, prepared by 11 Queens College students supervised by paid professionals. “We feel that this directory should be the responsibility of the medical societies,” Ms. Seigel added. a Passport/Application Photos UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Toes., Wed., Thurs.; 10 a.m.—5 p.m 3 photos for (3 (t.

The station also hopes to move its entire station to the Ellicott Complex by next September, although it will continue to broadcast on the Main Campus. Operating via carrier current, “the audios are driven through a phone line, turned into RF energy, and then transmitted to your receiver,” explained Bob Thompson, Chief Engineer of WIRR. The engineering involved in wiring Ellicott for WIRR is very complicated because of the size and structure of the Complex, Mr. Thompson said. He does not, however, foresee any major difficulties in preparing the smaller, simpler Governor’s Complex, which is scheduled to receive the station shortly after Ellicott. Mr. Thompson feels WIRR is ready to move to Amherst the Inter-Residence because Council (IRC) is donating the phone lines and a new, more efficient transmitter, built by former Chief Engineer Ian Pauli. “Without the support of Leigh Weber [IRC President] and Douglas Cohen [Ellicott Area Council President], WIRR would not be this close to expansion,” Mr. Schwartz noted. Although he for $400 budgeted has transmission to Amherst and studio maintenance, he is still uncertain how much the project will cost. also Schwartz has Mr. contacted A1 Dahlberg from the Office of Facilities Planning and Madison Boyce, Director of Housing, requesting three rooms for the station in Ellicott in September. One room will be used as a general studio, another for production, and a third as an office for staff members. Due to a large turnout of disc jockeys, WIRR will broadcast at night, beginning monday, January 27 and will resume regular daytime shows by the beginning of February, shows will start at noon on weekdays and at 1 p.m. over the weekend, and will always sign off at 3 a.m. Special programs planned for the future include novel readings, Ellicott of broadcasts coffeehouses, and recordings of live concerts.

In that year, only 43 percent of the eligible voters turned out at the polls. A constitutional amendment gave 18-year-olds the right to vote in time for the 1972 presidential election. That year, when the voter turnout was neither high nor unusually low, 48.3 percent of the eligible 18-to-20 year olds voted. The youth vote picture is further complicated the increased mobility of young people.

Of a record 141 million eligible voters, only 45 percent overall reported voting on November 5.

They were brought to trial following the discovery that wine in the Bordeaux region had been tampered with and falsely labeled. An estimated four million bottles of wine had been or were to be sold under illegal conditions. (Whether or not the wine in obvious logical flaw, and the defendants were found guilty of fraud. The principal defendants, Pierre Bert and Lionel and Ivan Cruse, were given one year in jail and fined 27,000 francs each (about $6000). The other sentences ranged from one year in jail and a 20,000 franc fine to four months and 2000 francs. While this punishment may not seem to fit the crime, the defendants must also collectively pay a total of 10 million francs to private damaged parties financially by the scandal. The Cruses have already announced their intention to appeal this decision. Rising prices? It will be asked by wine drinkers, “what will be the effect of la scandale on wine prices in France and the United States?” In France, the public’s faith in the Bordeaux label has been badly shaken. Even the prices of Chateau-bottled wine, not subject substitution or any to manipulation, have dropped considerably. In the provinces where burgundy wine is produced, about 300 kilometres east of Bordeaux, some vintage wines have dropped 40 percent in prcie under last year’s standards. Bad news for wine merchants but good news for wine drinkers, a major part of the French population. s wi question had already been sold could not be determined because the official papers of sale mysteriously disappeared.) The trial and its subsequent revelations have dealt a profound blow to the reputation of the long Bordeaux vineyards, considered by experts and wine lovers alike to produce the finest of all French wine. The principal defendants, the Cruse brothers, who are the most successful wine merchants in Bordeaux and also the largest wine exporters in France, were accused of substituting ordinary Languedoc wine from the southeast of France for Bordeaux selling it superieur. wine and then as Bordeaux c/ualilal It's no better The real shock came, however, when lawyers for the defendants argued that if there had been a substitution, it was a mistake because, in reality, the famous vintage wines of Bordeaux are no better than the ordinary wines of Languedoc. fact, the two are In indistinguishable, they said. Even though a good Bordeaux wine costs five times as much as a lawyers the such a that substitution is not a serious fraud and that the wine in question is still in the cellars of la maison Cruse anyway. They invited court experts to the cellars to prove this point, but the question arose: How would the experts distinguish between the two wines? By tasting it, of course, replied the lawyers. The court chose to ignore this Languedoc, contended Unfortunately, the news for American wine lovers is not nearly as good as for the French. According to the manager of Astor Wines & Spirits, Inc. in New York, a major importer, the events in Bordeaux have had absolutely no effect at all on the price of le vin francais in America. Prices have dropped slightly, he said, but this is due to the state of the American economy and not the situation in France. In fact, Bordeaux wines have remained as expensive as ever here, by coincidence the only French label not to have dropped in price. A bottle of vintage year Bordeaux qualitat superieur which costs three or four dollars in France will cost no less than S10 in the United States. Little change Mark Lingerer of the North Main Liquor Store in Buffalo added that if anyone were to he affected by the scandal, it would be the major wholesalers in New York. And judging from his most recent price list, there was very little change, Mr. Lingerer remarked with a smile that he didn’t carry much Cruse Bros, wine in the first place, and he had never found their wines to be particularly outstanding. Eighty percent of his business is in wine and much of that business comes from students. They begin with Gallo and Almaden, he said, and many become interested in the imported wines, especially French imports. With the aid of vintage charts posted in the store, students are asking questions and keeping lists, learning about the different types of wine and developing their taste, even to the extent of entering the store and asking for a particular label and year. Most cannot afford the premier cru classe labels, a Chateau Margeaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, but the interest is there, perhaps in the hope that one day these wines, too, will be accessible to them. Comment Peace on paper but the war x continutes withAmericanaid by Paul Krehbiel The Paris Peace Agreement was signed almost on Jan. 27, 1973. Since then, thousands of Vietnamese men, women and children have been killed or wounded, and there is no end in sight. Were it not for the never-ending flow of U.S. money, arms, ammunition and advisors to the Thieu regime, the war might now be over. In Article IX of the peace agreement, cur government promised “not to impose any political tendency or personality on the South Vietnamese people.” Yet, it does this every single day by sending massive aid to only one party in South Vietnam the Thieu regime. Even though the Paris agreements specifically cite the Provisional Revolutionary Government as the other recognized party, it has received no aid from our government Article IV of the peace agreement states: “The United Slates will not . continue its military involvement or interfere in the internal affairs of South Vietnam.” Since the signing, the government has sunk millions of American lax dollars into the Thieu cesspool, and President Ford continues to urge Congress to throw in another $300 million to keep Thieu afloat. The American Friends Service Committee has estimated that our tax-dollars provide more than 80 percent of the Saigon administration’s budget, another flagrant violation of the Paris Peace two years ago to the day — — Agreements. Vietnam question. The United States, which had given aid to the French colonialists, participated in the conference, and opposed independence for Vietnam. After much foot-dragging, the following settlement was arrived at; 1 Vietnam was to be divided at the 17th North and parallel temporarily into two zones South. The northern zone was to be governed by the independence forces, led by Ho Chi Minh, while the southern zone was to be governed by forces formerly Elections were to be supported by the French. 2 held in two years to reunite the country, and 3 neither zone was to receive military aid for outsiders. But the U.S. continued to give money to the anti-communist forces governing the southern zone, in violation of the Geneva agreements, and in 1956, prevented the proposed elections from taking place. President Eisenhower later wrote in his book, Mandate For Change “I have never corresponded with a person knowledgable in Indochinese affairs who did not agree that had elections been held . . . possibly 80 percent of the population would have voted for the communist, Ho Chi Minh.” So the elections were never held, Vietnam remained divided, and successive U.S. presidents, both Democratic and Republican, plunged more money, armaments, and soldiers into the conflict. — — , — — , Raw materials Eisenhower also explained the reasons for the war on the side of France at a conference of U.S. governors in Seattle in August entering 1953: U.S. violations In Article V of the Paris agreements, the U.S. government promised to withdraw its advisors to all paramilitary organizations and the police force. But American advisors are still there. We also pledged to “insure the democratic personal freedom, freedom liberties of the people of speech, freedom of the press, freedom* of assembly, the right to organize politically, freedom of residence and freedom of work . . .” (Article XI). The Thieu regime has responded by closing down opposition newspapers and outlawing trade unions, and continues to incarcerate an estimated 200,000 political prisoners, many in horrible conditions, according to reports by Amnesty International, the Indochina Peace Campaign, and the American Friends Service Committee, all of whose members have traveled in South Vietnam. Under the Peace agreement, the United States pledged to dismantle “all [U.S.J military bases in South Vietnam” (Article 6). But the military bases are still there, along with American bombers, which are now piloted by Vietnamese servicemen who were trained by the U.S. Air Force. While these violations of the peace agreement may seen outrageous it is not the first time the U.S. government has violated peace agreements in Southeast Asia. - Geneva conference After decades of fighting French colonialism in Southeast Asia, the Vietnamese people forced the surrender of the French at the battle of Dien Bien Phu, on May 7, 1954. This lead to the historic Geneva conference of 1954, held to settle the “Now let us assume that we lost Indochina . . . The tin and tungsten that we so greatly value from that area would cease coming so when the U.S. votes S400 million to help that war, we are not voting a giveaway program. We are voting for the cheapest way that we can to prevent the occurance of something that would be of a most terrible significance to the United States of America, our security, our power and ability to get certain things we need from the riches of the Indochinese territory and from Southeast Asia.” The reasons for U.S. involvement in Vietnam was to get control over cheap raw materials, cheap labor, and a market in which to sell surplus products. The Root-Brown consturction company of Texas, a past financial supporter of Lyndon Johnson, received large government contracts from the Johnson administration to build roads, barracks and prisons in South Vietnam. Standard Oil with other giant along conglomerates won oil-drilling concessions off the coast of South Vietnam in 1971, while Chase Manhatten Bank, controlled by Rockefeller interests, has had a branch in Saigon since the mid-1960’s to finance various business enterprises. Perhaps these are some of the reasons why the Ford-Rockefeller team has urged a $300 million military aid supplement to the sagging Saigon administration. In the meantime, the Western New York Peace Center, representing 155 contributing members and over 500 active supporters, has joined prominant national peace organizations in calling on citizens to write letters to their Congressional representatives urging opposition to all monetary aid to Saigon. ... Wednesday, 29 January 1975 . The Spectrum Page five . �I Cuiiudai The Kunstler controversy With the mandatory student fee referendum only days away, it is fortunate that an issue has surfaced that concerns, in the most fundamental way, how those fees are allocated. The Student Judiciary's decision to restrain Speakers' Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow from signing any new contracts has more than anything else focused attention on the inability of the Student Assembly to voice its opinion in the decision-making process. From the moment that Mr. Morrow let it be known that "Lois Lane" would follow Moe Howard's appearance here, vocal members of certain interest groups began labeling him "apolitical." They accused him of choosing his programs solely on the basis of their nostalgic appeal, rather than their relevance to important social and political problems. When the issue was finally brought before the Student Assembly, the Assembly through its usual bureaucratic bungling and mass confusion approved a — — — — vague series of motions. Amazing as it may seem, the Assembly voted 16-12 to make the appearance of William Kunstler a priority, then decided by acclamation to direct Mr. Morrow "to look into the possibility of bringing him to U.B. during the Spring Semester Program." In the third and final motion, the Assembly voted 18-15 to postpone indefinitely amotion that would have explicitly directed Mr. Morrow to seek out Mr. Kunstler, until Mr. Morrow could ascertain whether the programs he had already planned would preclude the possibility of having enough funds for a Kunstler program. Contrary to what compainants Richard Sokolow and Gloria Prozan claimed at Monday's hearing, neither the letter nor the "spirit" of the Assembly's debate and actions were overwhelmingly in favor of Mr. Kunstler. If the Assembfy had anything in mind, it failed as usual to express itself clearly. The Judiciary's decision to issue a restraining order was a sound one because it gives the Assembly another chance to be decisive about something, especially since Mr. Morrow has already agreed to follow an explicit directive from that body provided he, or anyone, can understand what the Assembly wants. For those who seem to feel that Mr. Morrow lacks a fundamental awareness of important issues, it is worth noting that he worked hard during the summer to set up a debate between Willaim Shockley and several faculty members, a discussion that certainly would have met — — — anyone's criteria for "relevance." Mr. Morrow has also brought other noteworthy and topical speakers including Abba Eban, Ramsey Clark, John Conyers, Gloria Steinem, and rape expert Frederic Storaska. Certainly, his conduct as Speaker's Bureau Chairman has not been faultless. He passed up an opportunity to bring Brooklyn Congresswoman and House Judiciary Committee member Elizabeth Holtzman here for a nominal fee. Mr. Morrow has also been accused of being stubborn and elitist, and unfortunately, some of his actions lend credence to those charges. When pushed, as he has been during the Kunstler episode, he has too often defended his position with statements that have made him sound, intentionally or not, as if only he knows what a good — program is. Although we believe that Mr. Kunstler's appearance here would be especially relevant and worthwhile in light of the ongoing Attica trials, it is not for this newspaper to determine who should speak on this campus. Nor is it the place of special interest group representatives to appoint themselves arbiters of taste and cultural exposure for this University. If they are so convinced that Lois Lane's appearance on this campus last night was a waste of money, how do they account tor the fact that the program sold out in three hours? But a speaker's program limited by the tastes and imagination of one person is also inherently unsound, even though the University is fortunate to have heard a fairly impressive group of speakers over the past few years. Ideally, a broad-based committee should be formed to select speakers such a process would be more visible and more open than the — system of informal advisement that is currently practiced. Whatever the outcome of today's Assembly meeting, we hope that all of the parties involved will not lose sight of the fact that the speaker's program is perhaps the single most visible use of the mandatory fee. Surely the students here deserve their money's worth.

The problem begins internally, with a whole set of struggles that are not even clearly formed in my own head yet. It winds up, unfortunately, being externalized, and causing a lot of pain. It is not it ever been, very easy for me to get now, close to people. As you may have guessed from efforts at filling this space. My standards for the behavior of the people I am attracted to are ridiculously high. Not quite as high as some of those I reserve for myself, of course, but much good that does anyone at all. I know in some fundamental way, that safety only exists internally, at least when it comes to deciding whether dr not another human being is someone who is not going to burn you. Well actually, burn you unnecessarily is more along the line that my defensiveness usually takes. It is very clear that giving people only one chance to hit you is a little bit crazy, at the minimum and rises sharply from that base line Wonderful, | so I’m wierd, I hope that recognition helps you since it hasn't done me a whole lot of good so far. Damn good thing am an optimist or I would be in real trouble. The item that turned out to be the one that caused most ty Slecse of the pain and left almost everyone feeling rather unsafe involved surety. Being close is something which makes me very anxious, so I defend against it by a variety of methods. One is the above noted method of keeping all the fuck-ups at arms length This is a valuable method because if you adjust your standards accordingly, you can include almost everyone in it at one time or another. Another superior method is not being sure what you feel about someone, since obviously only a damned fool would proceed further into a relationship of which he wasn't sure Right? Of course! (What kind of a fool it is who is never sure of what he feels is something we may or may not discuss at some later point in this conversation.) This second method is one that I use with consistency and considerable success. Depending on what you consider successful of course. To quote the lady who has been putting up with me more consistently than anyone else over the last couple of years, I spend a lot of time "in like, not in love.’’ There is a piece of me that has enormous difficulty either in feeling, or admitting, a certain intensity of feeling that I am willing to pin that particular label on. Caring about people is all right, people being important is tolerable, but being in love . . . excuse me while I stop shuddering. I am aware of having felt something very intense about people off and on over the last decade or so. From where 1 am now, it looks as if those particular sets of feelings were rather neurotic. (One of the wonderful things about being enmeshed in psychology is the labeling system it gives you to deal with your own behavior.) Neurotic in the sense that my needs were coloring the way that I saw-the person, and previous _ |j I HI that the feelings I had for them than for something I would have liked them to be. Which is something most of us are capable of doing, I believe, but which rarely gets us good places over So for the last month I long periods of time. have been trying to sort out my head. Since inherent in sorting out said head has been re-evaluating the relationships around me it has not been altogether pleasant. I do not like hurting people. Empathy, or guilt, or whatever it is distasteful to me. It is not easy to increase the distance between people who care about each other without hurting both people. It may be impossible, in fact . . . but I will settle for - improbable at this point. All of which was hard enough without the difficult reality of there being another woman involved. (Or should that be ANOTHER WOMAN?) The hassle being that 1 suddenly realized that I feel differently around different people. Outside of the fact that I am a little slow, I would appreciate it greatly if you would stop laughing and just keep reading. It may take me a while to rediscover these basic truths that you already know, but you might be a little kind. In addition to being slow, 1 am also afflicted with pride. It’s an awful combination. Anyway, when it came down to the crunch, 1 was having a lot of feelings about two people at once. Which is a very unpleasant place to be for just about everyone involved when the there klutz involved can’t discriminate very well once feelings get past certain levels. Anxiety out certain processes first, differentially 1 tnink. When 1 am fouled up badly I am able to proceed down the road doing practical things with relatively little difficulty. Anything emotional is a problem of completely different dimensions. My immediate response is to hibernate, to find a small, private, one-person sized hole and curl up. The theory apparently is that the whole thing will blow over if I wait long enough. It is a wonderful theory. Like many other of my theories, not to mention the rest of the worlds, it seems to be under-connected to reality. More specifically, said theory has yet to work. Such problems rarely go away. They do sometimes dissipate however, Le. somebody else does something which makes it easier to touch what you are feeling, or at least to make choices. What doesn’t disappear is the pain, and the tissue. You come out knowing a little more about yourself, and a little more about some other folks. But at the end there is some real doubt about the worth of all that in comparison to the hurt that people experience. There are so nicer many compulsions than having to understand yourself. Why couldn’t I have something quieter and less damaging to me and to other people? Stamp collecting? Novel writing? Bird watching? Perhaps I should hang a sign around my neck DANGER, COMPULSIVE SELF EXPLORER APPROACH WITH CAUTION. I’ll think on it. If you see such a sign, the probability of it being me is fairly high. On anything else I ain’t taking any bets. Have a good week Pax. scar - The right to public space; whose is it? To the Editor. In Monday’s issue of The Spectrum, a letter to editor appeared which publically accused Trap-A-Trip Ltd., a branch office of a New York agency, of demonstrating “a blatant disregard for the limited publicity space on campus.

I would like to bring to your attention a seriou; problem affecting campus secutiry. On Monda> night, January 20, 1975, I left the Main Campu; library to take the bus back to North Campus where 1 reside. According to the bus schedule, the last bus was scheduled to leave at 12:30 a.m. I arrived at the we waited bus stop at 12:20 with 2 other students but no bus came. A Campus Security patrol cai pulled up at about 12:30 and we explained the situation. They advised us to wait a few minutes longer. At 12:45 the bus had still now shown up the patrol car returned and we requested that they arrange transportation for us back to North Campus since obviously the scheduled bus was not running. They indicated that this was not their policy and offered no assistance to help us out of our predicament stranded in sub-freezing weather in the middle of the night. Fortunately, I was able to spend the night in a friend’s room from where I telephoned Security to register a complaint. However, I feel obliged to put my complaint in writing in the hope that some action may be taken to avoid similar situations in the future. 1. Given the widespread geographic nature of the two campuses, university officials must be responsible for inter-campiis busses running on time and according to schedule. 2. In emergency situations such as outlined above, Campus Security should be prepared to — - — and/or transportation as needed. Thank you for any assistance you can provide in confidence the in strengthening students’ University’s interest in their safety and welfare. provide assistance Dina Nathanson - - — - — , — Student paper? 1 ’ To the Editor. As a student on this campus, 1 was extremely disappointed in the Monday, January 27 issue of The Spectrum. On Friday, January 24th, The Spectrum printed a photograph of the defamation of the Jewish Student Union bulletin board, first floor Norton Union. In its following issue. The Spectrum chose to devote one whole page to the tragedy of the nickel candy bar, totally deleting any comment on the significance of the forementioned “grafitti.” It frightens me when I see no response by the student newspaper on swastikas scribbled on an official University bulletin board. Is it The Spectrum’s policy to ignore anything that isn’t too pleasant (in order to prevent its readers from becoming upset), or anything which might reveal the background of part of its Editorial Board? It is an outrage that such an occurrence could be so obviously ignored by the “student” newspaper. Debbie Richards Editor's note: The "one whole page” that was devoted to the tragedy of the nickel candy bar was part of a full page advertisement by Reader’s Digest. Without the revenue generated by such ads, The Spectrum would be unable to publish many of the things it presently does and that includes photographs of bulletin hoards. O'Neill fouls out To the Editor. Middle Class College To the Editor This is a letter in support of the proposed Class Studies College’s right to self-determination over the issues essential to the existence of its academically sound program. We think the right to determine whether the presence of lower and upper class people is appropriate in certain courses is a vital componant part of that right to self-determination. Historically, such terms as “poor but honest” and “upper crust” have been used to stand for all decent human beings. This reflects the ideology of all economically polarized societies (e.g., Latin-American banana republics). The Chartering Committee’s creation of a false issue around MCSC’s generic use of the word “money” is really an attack on the right of Middle Class both in and outside of MCSC to effectively address issues relevant to their own lives in the most concrete and meaningful way for the Middle Class. Middle Our syllabus includes those courses which are relevant to the experiences of the Middle Calss. Seminars will be conducted where we will bemoan the fact that while the upper class has oil depletion allowances, and the lower class has Welfare and Medicaid, all we, as members of the Middle Class have, are outstanding mortgage payments, tuition bills and ulcers. It would be sadly ironic if one of the University’s most innovative and educationally rewarding programs went out the window simply because a handful of supposedly aware people do not realize that the lower and upper classes have been excluded from certain courses as a means of fighting, rather than reversing discrimination. We urge every member of the lower and upper classes to support Middle Class Studies College’s struggle for self-determination, for their exclusion from our courses is to their own advantage. The success of this college is to everyone’s success. This letter is in response to the awkward attempt by M. O’Neill to describe the Braves-Knicks game the other night. This person downgrades Buffalo and its suburbs to a point of obscurity. But before he insults the city he dehumanizes the members of the Braves. He treats any miscue seen as being the norm rather than the exception. No team could be as bad as he contends the Braves are (except possibly the Knicks). Mr. O’Neill shows his ignorance of Buffalo and the Braves by his generalizations and trite phrases. This article characterizes what is quite often said about Buffalo by those persons too busy to look past their own noses and discover what Buffalo is really like. It’s a great city with a lot of fantastic people. I won’t even attempt to reply to the commentary of the game. He must have either been sleeping, or too busy thinking of insulting things to say about Buffalo to see the game that was actually played. Well, all I can say is that if Mr. O’Neill doesn’t like Buffalo or its people, he can get his shit together and leave, thus making room for someone who wants to live in a city named after a smelly beast.

He said he did not want to see Student Association, which funds Speakers Bureau, “give money” to an Attica rally. that he did not try to “lead them [the Assembly] on” about how much money remained in the Speakers Bureau fund.

The Spectrum Page nine . �On the mat Buffalo wrestlers pinned by Binghamton for second loss riding time advantage to defeat the Bull’s Mack Sams. by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer In a battle of New York state wrestling powers, the top ranked Bulls were upset by a hungry team from Binghamton last Saturday before a screaming throng of well over 500 in Binghamton’s gym. The Colonials, number two in the state polls, took an early lead and held it all the way for a 19-13 victory. The loss was only the second of the season suffered by Buffalo and it marked the first loss to a New York school since a 1971 defeat at the hands of Oswego State. Buffalo guard Otis Horne, who has scored 60 points in his last two games, has been selected The Spectrum's Athlete of the Week. Horne hit on 18 of his 32 attempts to score 38 points, just three short of the school record, as he led the Bulls past Catholic University Saturday night. He did set the record for most points by a Bull at Memorial Auditorium along with the record for most field goals made and attempted. Otis now leads the Bulls in scoring, averaging 18 points per game. Honorable mention goes to Chris Barone, who scored 16 points in the women's basketball team's win over Fredonia, and freshman swimmer Ted Brenner, who has been busy rewriting Buffalo's records in the backstroke and individual medley. It was a frustrating afternoon for the Bulls, marked by questionable refereeing late in the match and some sub-par wrestling on the part of many Bulls. The Colonials got off to a quick 9-3 lead, as only undefeated 134 pounder Jim Young escaped defeat. These early bouts were action-packed, class, where the 126 pound particularly Binghamton’s heavily favored Tim Borshoff needed a Home cooking With three bouts remaining and the Bulls down by nine, Emad Faddoul was all over Colonial Freshman John Carra. However, Carra managed to keep himself from being pinned with the help of several stalling techniques which were not detected by what Buffalo Coach Ed Michael termed “home cooked officiating.” More stalling by Binghamton’s Mike Polakoff earned him a draw in the 190 class and put Buffalo’s flu-ridden heavyweight Charlie Wright in the unenviable position of needing a pin to tie the match, something he was in no condition to do. But despite questionable calls and Wright’s illness, the Bulls were defeated rather soundly. Binghamton went into the match unafraid of the reputation which precedes the nationally ranked Bulls, and it paid off. Young was very impressed by Binghamton. “They are a class team, and this is a class school,” he noted. eiCEMTENNIfil FILM SERIES 15 Wfeeks Every Thursday at 8 pm “WEGOTAFAHOUT DISCOUNT.” Historical Society Headquarters 25 Nottingham Court, Buffalo l.m J I’Al'L RKVhRt'S RlOt .mj 177dor Tilt HKSSIAS RKNhOAOhS.

UUAB Movie: Trash, Norton Conference Theatre �Spring 1975 Programs Community Action Corps 345 Norton Hall State University of New York at Buffalo Buffalo, N.Y. 831-3605/3609 Community Action Corps (CAC) is a volunteer organization which annually attracts over 2000 students. CAC volunteers work in day care centers, hospitals, education projects, social service programs, legal and welfare services, social action projects, drug and youth counseling programs, and studies contributing to the elimination of social injustice and inequitable opportunities. It is the belief of CAC to operate on all possible levels; to alleviate immediate social problems while working on long-range social change. A basic concept of CAC is that students must be given a chance to expand their classroom learning experiences through action and service, into different learning experiences. Our rationale is that the University must not be isolated from the community; that the needs of the community are great; that paying lip service to our social problems is inadequate; and that the proper utilization of University talents can dynamically alleviate many of our problems. Also, we feel that only through an integration of theoretically based learning and practical classroom community experience will a student reach his/her full development. Thus, involving students in the community develops a reciprocal relationship beneficial to both. Essential to the realization of these goals, though, is commitment by the volunteer worker of both time and energy, and understanding and openness on the part of the community and its agencies. CAC believes that the only way to institute real change within a community is to understand the complex connections between economic, political and social workings. CAC is therefore in a constant slate of involving itself in and consideration of new facilities, services and contacts In the community, allowing us to further grasp the many obstacles and situations that we may encounter. We are dedicated to the notion that in order for the Community Action Corps to be effective, it must be an alive, oh-going center for all resources, materials, people and ideas. We at CAC therefore welcome ALL people, with whatever they have to offer, to come and join with us in working towards these goals. Below are some commonly asked questions about CAC. If you have more questions about these or any other matters please feel free to get in touch with us. 1. What can I do? Plenty! Many opportunities exist for people who realize there is more to an education than sitting in a class and taking notes, and there is more to being a citizen than voting once a year. Besides the projects and resource conlacJjJis(cd under the seven program areas in this brochure (Action, Health Care, Education, Drug and Youth Counseling, Day Care, Recreation, and Legal and Welfare Rights) we have additional contacts that might better meet your needs. Prior experience is rarely necessary. CAC has set up, often in cooperation with University and Community units, orientation and training programs for the volunteers to get the most out of their experience and serve the community best. These workshops and seminars are geared towards the specific needs of a student volunteer in a specific setting. If someone is interested in getting more involved in CAC and community organizing and coordinating, CAC has a few positions that defintiely meet these needs: a) Project Heads persons with specific experience in a certain projects or related — experience; generally supervise project; coordinate volunteers, CAC, and the community, b) Resource Aides persons are needed in all — seven program areas to investigate community contacts and problems, plan and institute new programs, assist in the placement of volunteers and generally work with the area coordinator. CAC is c) Research and Development funded primarily through mandatory student tees. Many of our own and affiliated programs are stifled because of lack of sufficient People in R&D will work on obtaining outside funding, on the CAC library, and other ventures that the individual wishes to take on. No prior experience is necessary The above positions are open to anyone who is willing to commit themselves. These ar< excellent opportunities to get more involved in CAC and see community service from a different — vantage-point Often people come to us with an idea that they would like to develop. CAC is always open new ideas tor projects and welcomes anyone come and speak to us. Over the past ten years of working in the Western New York community we have learned a lot and are very willing to share this knowledge with you There is a whole world out there, and a lot ot work to do. We at CAC feel that there is very little value to us in becoming teachers, doctors lawyers, therapists, scientists, etc. in a society that allows such social, economic and political injustice. The only way to start things rolling is it everyone starts something. Drop by the CAC office and look at what you can do to to 2. Why should I volunteer through CAC? By maintaining the diversified program of community projects and resources, CAC attempts to provide an outlet tor students to express their interests and knowledge via community service Often, we cannot predict every interest of every student. Consequently, CAC feels that it is our obligation to try and find an adequate placement foi eveiyone that comes to us Furlheimore, since all of the CAC projects are maintained and often supervised b\ CAC to make sure llial these programs lonilutl on-going, activities, well-oigani/ed, and planned the likelihood ol serious mistakes and lailures is greatly reduced CAC is geared toward and structured hy the needs ol its volunteers. The organization ananges transportation tor volunteers, cither by using the CAC van, arranging car pools, 01 reimbursing volunteers lor n anspor tation expenses. CAC the supports by coordinating volunteers orientation sessions, in-service training seminars and workshops, special speakers and events. These are to provide some perspective on the nature ot the problems in the community and try to enable everyone involved to gel as much as possible out ol the experience 3. How much work? time is required for volunteer exceptions can be lound, the time requirement is one semester and four hours per week. Although general 4. Can I receive academic credit? It has been CAC's policy to try to place —continued on next page— �academic credit in the background of our work. We do not wish to "buy" volunteers through offering credit. Yet we do feel that persons who arc dedicated to their work should be given the to opportunity take themselves further. Therefore this semester, in cooperation with the Olfice of Urban Aflairs, tor students who have previously proven their commitment, CAC is arranged amity Idanning, URb 440.

Strategies in Social Change, is an independent study coordinated by Mitch Smilowitz, that is fulfilled by either completing an interchip in a community agency or, for those who have already taken 278, doing indepent work. making new resource contacts in the community. Debbie Goun, Mitch Smilowitr Coordinators Resource contacts are community established placements where a student worker can act on his own, and be pan of an organized group of people who are all working in the same service. Resource aides, as their part in the CAC organization, are constantly investigating and 6. What are the responsibilities of a volunteer? To list all the possible opportunities and responsibilities of the volunteer position with CAC would be an enormous task. The most important responsibility of a volunteer is to live up to his/her commitment. If a volunteer says he or she will show up somewhere, they must. So often, the high point of a person's week is the time they spend with a volunteer. The CAC volunteer is an integral part of a program, if you as a volunteer do not show up, a lot of people are hurt. So bclore you sign up for a project, make sure you can make it regularly. If not, please find something that you can attend. Call if you know you arc going to miss a meeting.

In this respect;* the Peace Center works with local unconditional community groups to re-order national priorities human and social needs here in the Niagara Frontier a.e better served by our tax dollares; Students are needed to work with Peace Center task foces and to organize campus events lor the university community. Given imagination, persistence, and interest in non-violent peace and justice social traditions, opportunities for learning and meaningful volunteer work are so that unlimited. Safety Council An active safely council is desperately needed in this university. Many hazards exist, such as poor lighting, lack ol fire extinguishers, etc. Volunteers will seek out these hazards on the campuses and make recommendations to the university administration for their removal. Saleiv Council will work closely with other groups, such as SA and Environmental Health and Salcty, to alleviate these hazards to the university and community. CAC Day Camp I he Day Camp Committee hopes to realize its goals oi establishing an economically and racially integrated day camp tor Buffalo area children for 1975. Up until now, CAC has and a great need has been shown for us to continue to work with the children from our various projects in the months when school is not in session. The basic proposal has already been prepared, although there is a great deal of room for change. As ot May ol last semester, it had looked as if the camp was all set to run. Unfortunately sufficient I unding to cover costs ot such things as buses and insurance couid not be secured in time. This year, the summer of only lunctioned from September to May, however, we arc starling much earlier and the situation looks bright. However, the day camp can only function it we have the help and support ol new volunteers. Everyone is welcome. Persons with experience in day camps, knowledge of grant foundations, and creative ideas for children are encouraged to join this committee however, this experience is not essential tor volunteers Community Interships Strategies for Social Change high-rises to put What are the responsibilities of the CAC and resource contacts to the volunteers? These too are almost endless and are relative to the’ particular setting. These programs must place the volunteers as quickly as possible with the needs of the particular volunteer in mind. The agencies must keep in close contact with CAC and the appropriate CAC area coordinator. But most important, the projects and contacts must keep the volunteers’ welfare very much in mind or CAC will not place any more volunteers in such settings until such conditions are rectified. The following are detailed desriplions of the seven program areas ot CAC. Please read it over carefully. For more information, or if you are interested in volunteering, or if you have any ideas you would like to discuss, CAC is interested in hearing from you.

We tcel the university can otter a wealth of resources to assist in the social growth and development of the area. We also find that the community can provide students with the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in a practical situation. By becoming intimately involved in working with one of the many social service agencies, student volunteers can develop a deeper understanding of the issues and problems in Buffalo as they relate to the people who are directly affected by them. These agencies specifically deal with legal problems, housing problems and general community assistance. This project seeks reliable volunteers for placement in an an agency of their choice. Specific tasks may include researching topics, providing services to people, and assisting in the daily operations of the agency. Time arrangements are variable, but it is hoped that volunteers can devote approximately ten to fifteen hours a week. Independent study credit will be avilable. The potential tor learning, as welt as a rewarding personal experience, is unlimited. �Drug and Youth Counseling Program Bob Bertone — Coordinator Sunshine House Sunshine House deals with some of ihe more aspects of contemporary living. We attempt to help people who are having emotional The Drug and Youth Counseling programs in which CAC serves the community consists of a diversity of clientele and situations that stun the imagination and challenge the individual. These programs require volunteers with time, patience, sensitivity and dedication because a lifetime of troubles are never washed away in minutes. The volunteer we seek may come from backgrounds as varied as the clientele, but his motivation and human abilities are what we will have to assess. It is one we must attempt in order to place the volunteer in a setting where both the clientele and the volunteer will both achieve maximum trying problems, general problems in everyday life, drug related problems, and drug emergencies. In its birth, Sunshine House was an acid rescue center. This was at a time when hallucinogens prevalent were very in the community and people were having a hard lime dealing with the emotional and medical aspects. As time passed we fell that in order to make our sevices more more useful, we would have to expand and continually bend to the community's needs. Today Sunshine House deals with people on a one-to-one basis. We are here to help with emotional and drug problems that persons encounter in daily living. If it is fell that a person needs, or wants additional help, we make use of our extensive referral file Most of our services are in the form of phone counseling. Persons who make use of our services will find a friendly helping hand al the other end of the phone. Sunshine House also otters outreach service in the case of an emergency when the person cannot come to us. Situations such as drug overdose, bad acid trips, medical emergencies, and the like may fit into our outreach realm. Sunshine House is located al I Ufa Winspear Ave. (one block east of Main Street, near UB). The door is open for those who wish to speak to someone on a one-to-one basis in an informal atmosphere. All of our services ate — output and satisfaction from the encounter. Many volunteers come in with the attitude that counseling is a glorious, rewarding profession; it can be. One must also realize it is a trying and frequently disappointing profession. We try to judge each volunteer as to his ability to cope with these challenges and guide him in a choice we believe to be in the best interests of all. In many cases a volunteers cannot be placed in a short period and even though the need is great, the supply of people with the time and motivation is never sufficient. If you are placed in a program you can expect some form of training orientation that will probably cover general counseling skills and a special orientation to problems and techniques useful in your center. These training programs may take one week to three months. Patience and the ability to handle constructive criticism are necessary. Placement can never be guaranteed since each agency sets its own standards and criteria tor volunteers. Most require a minimum of four hours a week at the center. We have grouped our contact agencies into four primary strictly confidential. Sunshine House is staffed listings Alcohol-Related, Youth Counseling, Crisis Intervention, and Community Counseling — Centers, ALCOHOL-RELATED are a wide diversity of programs available in this area, ranging from rehabilitation programs, to drop-in centers and speakers' bureaus. The Erie County Rehab Center provides an outlet for the homeless and/or alcoholic man to work towards social readjustment and self-responsibility. The Night People Drop-In Center provides a place for the "night people” ol Buffalo to seek refuge from the streets and tind some warm human companionship and understanding help. The Buffalo Area Council on Alcoholism also provides for several other programs that can be suited to different volunteers, particularly working in public education programs in local high schools, etc. More in-depth assessments of Night People and the Rehab Center follow. There Night People Drop-In Center Director: Thomas Kreuder Address: 50 W. Chippewa Street Phone; 885-0877 Hours; Wed.—Sun., 9 p.m.-3 a.m. The Night People Drop-|n Center is located on Chippewa Street in downtown Buflalo. Sponsored by the Area Council on Alcoholism, its main target population is the debilitated skid-row alcoholic. However, a variety ol people with a broad spectrum of problems might be encountered on any given night. Its purpose is to provide a non-threatening accepting atmosphere conducive to socialisation, recreation (in the form of cards, checkers, etc.), as well as individual and group counseling and referral services Since there is a small staff (Director, Ass't. Director and one part-time counselor), several volunteers are needed nightly in order to be creative and imaginative in the use of their talents. Tasks range from serving soup and distributing clothing, to counseling and assisting people in getting hospitalization when necessary. Hopefully volunteers will grow in their understanding and sensivitity of human situations and problems, as the result o( their interactions with people from many walks ol life. Night People offers a unique and refreshing approach to a social problem during the late night houts, a time when most agencies have closed their doors to the public. Volunteers are asked to commit themselves to at least part of one night per week on a regular basis. This provides a certain continuity for the volunteer as well as enabling the staff to depend on their support. An intensive 18-houi training program is offered to all volunteers, as well as on-the-job supervision. Transportation is helpful but not absolutely necessary, as other arrangements can be made. Erie County Rehab Center The Erie County Rehab Center is a public by volunteers who training extensive program an Training consists of informative lectures and small group interactions. Sensivity is stressed. Once completing the formal training, volunteers do on-the-job training with an experienced member of the House. Upon becoming a member, persons are required to work a minimum of four hours per week. Persons who are interested in getting involved with people, and who care about others, may be interested in working at Sunshine House.

The clientele range in age between it) 70 years old with a range in personality as wide. Although alcohol appears to be a major problem, it is not the only one. Also included is a number ol psyche cases" that were either discharged from Hospital the Stale base developed or psychological problems through time. I he volunteer can look loiw.ncl to ,i very diverse group ol clientele. The CA( projei I is aimed at providing a non alcoholic related social outlet loi this clientele. Without the volunteers, the social outlets are lew, mainly because ol the Rehab Center's understalIing due to a poor budget. Though there are only male clientele, male and temale volunteers are welcome. They can help in recreation, which ranges Irom weekly bingo games to nightly ping-pong. Also availablewill be.the use ol the gym (acidities at the Bullalo Stale Hospital. This would then add basketball, swimming, bowling, etc. to the recreation program. There is an informal training program the with present at center reimbursements provided lor transportation The times the volunteer can come remains flexible. However, we’re trying to gel volunteers in time slots close together so we are able to work as a team, with group efforts and results. Since the volunteer program is accepted by the stall, volunteers are welcome to attend or start any activities that they (eel might benefit the clientele A word ol caution: Volunteers must always keep in mind that they ate limited in what they can accomplish in the way ol rehabilitation. Because ol the somewhat “inadequate" facilities, volunteer must not enter the project with inflated expectations. The project’s main outlet to rehabilitate will come mainly through recreation or whatever type of relationship the volunteer will build with the client. We urge the volunteers to build a "buddy system" with one or two ol the clients, so in time ol decision, they will) have a great influence in the results. Hopefully, with this type of relation, they can be more effective at "rehabilitating” that particular client. Through this type of experience, the volunteer develops a beltar insight not only to the difference in people, but it also makes them ask, is there really any difference between the man in City Hall and the man at 219 Elm? YOUTH COUNSELING PROGRAMS These programs have their primary direction usually oriented toward treatment of young people with problems, or the prevention of these problems by providing social outlets, discussion sessions and some understanding support and guidance to the youth in the community. Programs like the “V” counseling centers, located in several areas ol the city and suburbs, provide this grassroots type approach to south problems but volunteers are also expected to be able to handle all who appraoch them with problems from the community, and the training is oriented towards this goal. Compass House provides a shelter and understanding guidance lempoiarx youth in the city area.

Supervision will be provided. cases, and CRISIS INTERVENTION SERVICES At this point here in Buffalo there are two primary sources for a person to look towards when in crisis Sunshine House and the Suicide Prevention and Crisis Service. Both agencies — handle a spectrum of clients and problems and have large adjunct goals and projects - but the primary focus seems to be on crisis intervention services, usually via the telephone. The nature of the work requires a long training period and a dedicated individual, sensitive to the needs of a person they cannot see. The programs offered by both centers are challenging and interesting, the work demanding and frequently very satisfying, sometimes disappointing. The necessity for people to be there when a voice cries out for help is great and the need seldom fades. An intoduction to the work of Sunshine House is enclosed and more information on either center can be acquired by speaking with though one ot the coordinators in CAC. Community Counseling Centers The Community Counseling Centers provide a free counseling service for people of the Bullalo area. Persons with problems ol marriage, lonliness, social adjustment, alienation, and other ills, find help at these centers. All counselors are trained volunteers who work during the evenings (7 p.m. on) at one ol the fivecounseling centers. In the past, students have been a prodcutive resource to these centers The centers are located at various parts ol the city and arc open one night a week each. Before a lay counselor works with a client he must attend a training session or work on a team with an experienced counselor. Each center is stalled with professional (psychologist) lay and social counselors. The centers are located at West Side Lafayette Baptist Church, Lafayette and Parkdale Streets; Tuesday nights. Northwest Side Cardinal Dougherty High School, 31 St. Florian Street; Wednesdays. Kensington Methodist Northeast Side Church, Leroy and Grider Streets, Wednesdays.

We have found that there is a great deal of unrealized energy among us, which we feel could be channeled into several aspects of community service. Such work has provided us with a sense of reality that may otherwise be obliterated by our everyday routine of burying ourselves from the outside world. Participating in an Education project has for some triggered off an incentive to pursue a particular field in school. For others volunteers work is a practical and tangible activity to accompany the booklearning, and help the individual remain in touch with personal goals. For you, the motivation behind doing volunteer work may be curiosity or simply that you have a few free hours each week, which we feel is just as valid as anything else. It would be fodlish on our part to pretend we have the all-emcompassing answer to the problems of education, or the contradictions we experience in our own philosophies and lives. Rather than making overly ambitious goals for Spring we will make one: to continue our work in the improved and more community an in coordinated way. As for new goals, we leave them to you to design, according to the needs of the situation as they arise. We attribute our successes to our adaptability, and our failures our failures contribute as much to experience as anything else,, and we learn from well, them. Education is organized into three sub areas education, special education and alternative education. Within each sub-area are group projects which include; Black Rock Education Project, Tonawanda Indian Action Program, Friendship House, Creative Learning Project, and Center. Each of these the exception ol the Teacher Resource Center, is an educational program for children of varying ages, located in different pai ts the Teacher Resource projects, with of the city, and relies on volunteer support. The Teacher Resource Center, which is the newest and most innovative of the CAC projects, is located in a storefront, to provide teachers in Buffalo with a place to "drop in" and exchange ideas and materials, and discus' Black Rock Educational Center will be meeting in the Black Rock section ol Buffalo for tutoring and recreational purposes. Tonawanda Indian Action Project meets at Norton Union on Monday and Tuesday Creative Learning Project This project is a self-governing tutoring project for children with emotional, organic, perceptual or physical problems that affect their ability to learn in their present school environment. A one-hour, one-to-one tutoring session and a one-hour group recreation period is held Monday—Thursday from 4-6 p.m. It is the hope of this project to use the one-to-one relationship as a growing experience for both tutor and student. At the same time, we hope motivate the student to overcome his or her problem, and also to realize his self-worth. We offer a variety of opportunities to our students that are not normally available to them. Among others, we offer drama, art, sports and dance I There is a mandatory series of workshops on the dynamics of. and insight into the children and ideas on how to tutor them, for all Jgll volunteers, Patient and innovative people are needed, and no prior experience is necessary. Please join us. The Creative Learning Project Tutorial Training Program Unfortunately, in our society turning 60 is synonomous with becoming useless. Millions of our "seniour citizens” are abandoned by their families as well as society as a whole. Still many of these retired people have valuable skills that arc left untapped What we are trying to do this semester is to train these people as tutors lor children that are having learning problems. Through training sessions on tutoring techniques, theories sensitivity training and other important skills we will be able to place these people in reading centers and schools as qualitied tutors.

Last semester, students in-session courts (city, county and village) to insure that people were not being taken advantage of; investigation of cases, precedents, etc.; and many others were able to volunteer their services in the impeachment drive This semester, similar programs will be operating; however, new ideas for new piojects are very welcome Welfare Rights Application Project (WRAP) This project basically involves volunteer aid to welfare recipients and prospective clients, who have difficulty in filling out an involved eleven page application. As a volunteer you will undergo a training program (a one hour demonstiation) on how to fill out this application. It is essential that the illiterate and loreign born Buffalo residents, who desperately need public assistance, get it. Many are discouraged by this technical and highly bureaucratic formality. Last semester, WRAP had volunteers go down to the welfare office at 158 Pearl Street (Rath Building) once or twice a week, tor a couple of hours, to help in whatever capacity, to make a dehumanizing process more bearable.

Be-A-Friend sponsors sporting games and trips to events, theaters and local sights. On an individual basis, each friend encourages his or her child's interests and tries to introduce new — horizons and goals. Volunteers act in a big brother/big sister role. They give the children the benefit of a male or female influence in their lives.

Scott Agins Coordinator PROJECTS These Boys' Basketball League lor fifth and sixth grade schoolboys. League practices and games are held in Clark Hall during the last eight Sundays of the second semester. Boys have a chance to play basketball in an organized league learning the fundamentals of the game and the importance of teamwork. The volunteers coach teams of ten boys, in pairs, and the bbys look to them for leadership and confidence. An orientation session for volunteers who will coach and referee is held prior to the start of the season. Work is being done on establishing a girls' or co-ed league. The Community Companion Program The purpose of this project is to have a volunteer visit with an elderly person on a regular basis with the intent of companionship. The volunteer will obtain insight into the needs of the elderly and hopefully will be motivated to take action toward improvement of the elderly's distressful conditions of existence. The experience will hopefully enlighten the volunteer to the lad that il something isn’t done, they will have the same pitiful problems in their later years. The volunteer is expected to work 2—3 hours a week or whatever arrangements they make with the person they are visiting. The volunteer mostly deals with shut-ins and in addition to the idea of providing companionship, can run light errands. Plans for training seminars are in progress and should begin this semester. Transportation is provided through CAC's reimbursement policy, and when this project becomes involved with the Perry Project, transportation will be provided for the volunteers through Model Cities Agency’s jitney Service. Girl Scouts are on-going, CAC-oriented and ■implemented activities in which groups of students identify objectives and act strategically to effect their purposes. Buffalo State Hospital Group This group meets Wednesday evenings from 7-9 p.m. or -10 p.m. The majority of group members are former patients of Buffalo State Hospital; some inpatients also attend. Members’ ages range from 20 to the 50's and 60’s. The group’s purpose is to provide a warm social setting, in which people can talk freely to one another and enjoy both planning and participating in activities together. One major goal for this year is to increase interaction between all members of the group, volunteers and former patients. Some of the members’ social skills are rusty, and it is important that volunteers be patient in listening. Group activities are planned jointly. Another goal is to increase group participation in all planning. Many of the members are in the process of reconstructing their lives, attempting to find a job, gain vocational training or re-enter college. Above all this, Wednesday evening should be a time of encouragement and acceptance. In the past year various group activities have included swimming, picnicking, dinners, dances, sing-a-longs, horseback riding and movies. We need committed and innovative volunteers to strengthen communication within the group and to work on new ideas. If you arc interested, please contact CAC. Human Sexuality Center (Pregnancy Counseling Service) Room 356 Norton Hall 831-4902 The Human Center conjunction With CAC, is providing special troops for the inner city of Buffalo.

West Seneca State School 1 200 East West Road, West Seneca, N.Y The project at West Seneca State School will be working with mentally handicapped children and adults. The purpose is a simple one, to offer the children an alternative to watching TV and sitting the the ward night after night. We will be working in the area of recreation, doing different activities each week. Our purpose is to provide stimulating experiences for the children. Each week we will try to offer specific projects so that the activity can accomplish certain pre-set goals and be worthwhile to the children. Since we will be working at a State institution, the whole atmosphere will be different from that of private institutions. People who have not had the exprience of working at a State hospital will lind the whole structure ol operations a learning experience in ilsell. Most of the wards have 25 JO children and 2 nurses at night. The ward we will be working in will consist mainly of mongoloid and mentally retarded children. Anyone interested in special education can gain a good insight into the ellects ol institutional living. The children are starving for love and attention, and just your physical presence will make them happy. Some ol the children have specilic psychological and neurological disorders. The nurses' job is mainly maintenance because of the child-adult ratio, and we could help out by giving the children some ol the attention they desperately need. We an- looking lor volunleers who will uimmii themselves lo Ihc project. Many of the children mark lire beginning ol the week by the Self-Help for the Physically Handicapped , In the Self-Help project, volunteers aid handicapped men and women in getting out of their homes for recreational and social meetings in Buffalo. Volunteers at various locations accompany the handicapped to these functions and meetings in the hope that they will learn more about how to deal with someone with a physical handicap. The project meets once a week on Sundays from 2—6 p.m. RESOURCE CONTACTS Resource Contacts are available community established organizations where a student can work on his/her own and be part of an organized group of people who are all working in the same service. These consist mostly of hospitals and other medical facilities. CAC has on hand all the necessary information for anyone wishing to volunteer in any of these facilities, so that volunteers can familiarize themselves with the positions open to volunteers at each of these services. The Hospital Buffalo General volunteers for many is recruiting areas within the Hospital new —Continued on next page— �Hospital. Volunteers are playing a much more Important part in patient care. Inservice nursing instructors teach the volunteers the basic skills necessary to deliver supportive nursing care. Volunteers now attend to a wide range of personal, non-theraputic services that busy nursing personnel are often unable to perform. Having volunteers transport patients to and from x-ray, radiation therapy, and physical therapy is extremely timesaving. Volunteers are also directly involved with the day-to-day activities right at the nursing stations. BGH needs volunteers to assist the floor secretaries in answering phones, typing and up charts. Volunteers give valuable clerical assistance in practically every Department within the Hospital. The Blood Bank, Eye Clinic, Outpatient Clinic, Social Service, and Urology are just a few among the variety of areas that could use this clerical assistance. Volunteers can choose to work in the evening rather than during the day. BGH, located on High Street one block from Main Street, provides volunteers with parking and a meal in the employee cafeteria. Many of our volunteers leel making that volunteer work allows them to escape their They feel that it is a means of giving of themselves and knowing that their help is needed. Whatever the reason for volunteering, BGH volunteers arc always needed and very much appreciated. A tew new programs are currently underway at BGH. Volunteers are now able to volunteer in the Operating Room. They will be exposed to an entire range of nursing services since an Operating Room includes not only the operations held within them, but also the nursing care necessary in pre-surgery conferences, set-up work, and daily routine. care Volunteers are also needed in admitting new patients. Our volunteers become involved in pre admissions, admissions and escorting patients to their rooms The Volunteer Service Department ol BGH is in the process of developing a post-surgery program lor the recreation-entertainment long-term patients. With the interest ol a group of volunteers, we will be able to gel this program underway The Cantalician Center for Learning 3233 Main Street, Buffalo, N.Y. 14214 General purposes and goals: The paramount purpose is to provide rehabilitative, educational utilitarian instruction' to the handicapped students so that they may become participating members of their community. Our goal is to help provide these mentally retarded children with a foundation and background of a variety of skills to use and build upon when they graduate. Objective of the volunteer: The volunteer is indispensible to the Cantalician Center because he can provide the extra rehabilitation and instruction for the child, augmenting that ot the teacher. Perhaps the volunteer's individual encounters with the child or his personalised therapies will further increase and stabilise the child’s knowledge. The volunteer can attain self-fulfillment and satisfaction within him after he has worked with a mentally retarded child. It is an interpersonal process of "giving” established between the volunteer and the child. Volunteers are given a variety ol opportunities in which to assist at the center. They can work within a classroom, with the class as a whole, or if they prefer, they may single out an individual child on a one-to-one basis. These activities range from learning to distinguish colors to lying a shoe. Those volunteers with specific interests, such as speech therapy, physical therapy, art, dance, etc. are given an opportunity to do work in their intended field by planning and executing therapeutic methods of their own choice. The specialized therapies in the school include a language department, where the emphasis is on but developing and remediating the speech and and language pf the children; a perceptual motor development department, where a combination of physical and occupational skills are used; a creative arts class, where dance therapy is utilized as a form of expression for the child; physical education; and specialized remedial reading skills are used for training purposes. This project is unique because its emphasis is not academic, but rather a total effort to train the child to perform to his fullest potential. This potential cannot be realized without the Meyer Memorial Hospital 462 Grider Street Purposes and goals: The purpose is to provide a teaching and learning experience for the student. Volunteers are utilized in all areas of hospital work. The student can learn about hospital work and at the same time help patients. Also, the staff at the hospital continue to have a growing respect for the student volunteers, which some departments vary. The only requirement will be a chest x-ray within the past year, and a free one can be provided to anyone. The volunteer experience at one of the best children’s hospitals in the state can be a very rewarding experience. teachers and community groups to communicate family planning population dynamics and human sexuality. They also conduct ongoing training programs, distribute literature and films, maintain a speakers bureau and a reserve library. Volunteers are needed in the position of library assistant and receptionist. This entails becoming familiar with the information on hand in the files and facilitating other peoples’ use of these materials. Volunteers are required to spend at least four hours a week. Volunteers are also needed in the 10 clinics a week as nurses' assistants to help prepare patients for examination and assisting them afterwards. Time requirements for this are also at least Vr-day a week. assistance of volunteers. The volunteer is expected to work, minimally, I or 2 hours per week.

If approved by SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer, it could mean the elimination of several administration-held positions on the FSA Board of Directors at this University*. Chancellor Boyer will make his decision after receiving recommendations from the Statewide Council of Campus Presidents, the Student Association of the State University (SASU), and State University alumni. The University-wide Task Force on Auxiliary Services, which formulated the proposal, was established because of the poor financial status of many FSA’s throughout the state, which some administrators feel is the fault of students. Edward Doty, FSA Treasifter and Vice President for Operations and Systems at the University, said previously that student control of the FSA would cause financial problems for the corporation. He noted that for the past two years, the administration-dominated FSA here in Buffalo has “run in the black.” Students would have a difficult time running the corporation, he explained, because responsibility changes hands each year. Ed Doty Student Association (SA) President Frank Jackalone explained that the committee’s recommendations would have an uncertain effect on the SA proposals, currently being considered by the FSA Board of Directors, to Monday, 27 January 1975 increase student and faculty representation on the membership of the corporation. The Board of Directors is elected from the membership, but the committee recommendations only specify particpation on the Board. The committee also recommended that State University campus Presidents not be given membership on FSA Boards of Directors. With Dr. Boyer’s approval, this would mean the expulsion of President Robert Ketter as President of the corporation. Dr. Ketter was ill and could not be reached for comment. While the plan would immediately reduce the number of administrators on the FSA Board, it would prevent students from ever acquiring majority control. Twelve other FSA Boards across the state stand to lose students if the proposal is implemented. Allowing flexibility In a memorandum to student government Presidents and students who are FSA Directors, SASU maintained that “students should have the dominant authority over an organization which so directly affects so many aspects of the daily life of SUNY students.” SASU also claims that “having a majority of studnets on FSA does not adversely affect the fiscal solvency of the corporation,” noting that the State University at Binghamton has 50 percent student representation on the FSA Board but the corporation is “one of the most fiscally sound in the state.” SASU has recommended that FSA Boards of Directors be composed of a maximum of one-third administration, a minimum of one third students, and the other third to be divided among students and faculty (with at least one —continued on page 8— Energy alternatives considered Risks vs. benefits: nuclear energy debate rages onward by Andrew Sacks Staff Writer Spectrum radioactive contamination. Other nuclear hazards include lack of long range techniques for storage and disposal of nuclear wastes, lack of adequate protection against ’ theft, and danger of a human error or engineering defects at one of the plants. Those favoring nuclear power use view it as an inexhaustible supply of safe, clean, and economical energy. They argue that traditional fossil fuels coal, oil and natural gas are ecologically hazardous and limited in supply, and that dependence on fossil fuels could be politically dangerous. Proponents of nuclear energy deny that nuclear reactors are unreasonably dangerous and cite official reports which have determined that the probability of accident for a nuclear energy program is slight. Critics respond with the claim that the official reports were unrealistic because they assumed foolproof technology and perfect reactor behavior. “Will the next half century of nuclear fission development be without one or more serious accidents, natural catastrophes, sabotage, or thefts which contaminates a large area, destroys or injures tens of thousands of humans, results in billions of dollars in property damage and creates generic risks for all future generations” This question, posed by Ralph Nader in A Citizen’s Manual on Nuclear Energy is at the core of the present controversy over nuclear reactor safety. Nuclear energy results from the fission of enriched radioactive uranium creating the heat to run steam driven turbines which generate electricity. It is seen by many to be the energy source of the future. According to the Congressional Quarterly, more than two-thirds of Federal money for energy research and development has gone for nuclear research, and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) has predicted that the Alternatives number of nuclear reactors in this Nuclear energy, however, is not country will grow from 50 to 100 the only alternative to by the end of the century. conventional fuels.

They are only practical in areas that have an average wind speed of at least 15-20 m.p.h. Solar Sea Power, drawing energy from the temperature differences in the ocean. Solar sea power plants, submerged almost two hundred feet in non-turbulent water, will produce electricity which can be transported ashore via underwater cable. A possible drawback of solar sea power is that it might change ocean temperature and cause many undesired environmental side-effects. Until such questions are completely resolved, critics maintain, solar sea power will be a questionable alternative. Energy from organic material; using sewage, solid waste, animal waste, or other organic materials to yield energy. Critics argue that this is a costly and inefficient source of energy, but others point to successful coal/organic waste combustion plants now operative in St. Louis, Nashville, Chicago, and Pontiac, Michigan. Geothermal energy, harnessing the energy trapped in the earth’s crust. The use of geothermal energy, however, may be ecologically hazardous, and result in noise pollution from periodic venting of steam and air pollution from the release of hydrogen sulfide gas and radon, a gas resulting from the radioactive decay of uranium.

The authors of A Citizen’s Manual on Energy say that “if the proper environmental safeguards are employed, coal plants could replace nuclear plants with few long term hazards to the public. Proponents of nuclear energy disagree, pointing to the ecological hazards of coal mining and its limited supply. Dangers A chief issue in the nuclear fuel controversy has been the AEC’s alleged effort to conceal safety hazards of nuclear reactors. The New York Times reported in November that AEC documents indicated the commission had supressed studies by its own scientists which found nuclear reactors to be “more dangerous than officially acknowledged or that raised questions about reactor safety devices.” “One key study” the Times said, “which the commission kept from the public for seven years, found that a major accident could have the effect of a ‘good sized weapon,’ killing up to 45,000 persons, and that ‘the possible size of such a disaster might be equal to that of the state of Pennsylvania.” Former commission head Dr. Glenn Seaborg has denied the charges, claiming, “We didn’t publish it because we didn’t want it to be misunderstood by the public. Even when the laboratories operated by the commission developed important reports raising quesitons aobut safety, the commission staff in Washington sometimes ignored it.” �Special English Dept instmctor evaluations A special set oi student teacher evaluations, distributed and complied by the English Department, is now available to all students. The evaluations, assembled last semester, allow students to view the ratings of English professors by former pupils. This newly-established program compliments the Department’s course evaluations, which Members of the Department who had been preparing the questionnaires Attica witness admits old lies Members of the Department who had beenpreparing the questionnaires since last April have formed a Teaching Evaluation Committee, headed by English professor Victor Doyno. The evaluations contain 31 to 37 questions; most are multiple choice. There is also an area for additional questions and comments by students. Students wishing to view a teacher’s folder may go to the Office of Undergraduate Studies, Room 10 Annex B. Folders must be requested individually and evaluations must remain in the Undergraduate Office. The committee plans to prepare future evaluations on IBM computer forms, which will be processed through the Sorting and Scoring Center and provide more complete information. Dr. Doyno hopes that students will make use of the teacher and the only extensive program of its kind among course evaluations the Departments to aid in their choice of class sections. - — knew I was lying,” he said, but only “before an open court could I talk to the people and let them know what was happening to me.” s being A prosecution witness testified at last Copies of Mr. Crowley’s testimony Wednesday’s Attica hearings that he had lied to a sent by presiding Supreme Court Justice Joseph grand jury and implicated several inmates on murder Mattina to the U.S. Attorney for the Western charges because he felt his life was threatened.

Irving Spitzberg, Dean of the Colleges, said that a small amount of OTPS (Other Than Personal Services) money will soon be made available but to most of the colleges this $100-5300 will be hardly adequate, if even helpful. Clifford Furnas College Master Gerald Thorner added, “We are hurt more because we are young and growing.” He explained that the current University-wide “freeze” on all hiring and initiating of new programs has sturtted the expansion of the collegiate are most of our classes are held at the Main Street Campus, and most are at because it has been regarded for years as “the chief mechanism for continuing education at this university.” the Colleges’ instructors are community people who cither don’t have the tunc to travel to the North Campus or are hesitant to do so because most of the parking areas around the Ellicott Complex are not yet equipped with lighting during the evening hours. The classes are at night because of the consideration. Dr. Spitzberg went on to explain that most departments have some seminar rooms and classrooms always available to them and under their control, in ratio to the number of majors and degree programs they offer. In this area, he believes the Colleges are at a disadvantage. Obtaining classroom equipment has also been difficult, partly, he said, because negotiations for it with Albany are so long and complicated. And of course, there s inflation. “The increase in our telephone bill has literally eaten up any increase in funding we’ve received this year,” he lamented. Fhe Dean stressed that he does not believe the Colleges’ difficulties are the result of any “devious conspiracy” on the part of the rest of the university against them. “There are some problems with allocations,” he said, but with a little bit of good will, I’m sure they can be resolved.” Elizabeth Perry of Vico College, not quite as optimist, expressed serious fears for ttye college’s residential and summer program, however. She is moved by the irony of the fact that although their residential program will be reviewed in 18 months for its effectiveness, at present there are no funds to run it. The staff, she feels, is underpaid, consisting of one chairperson and two student assistants. And at the moment, the state of economic limbo makes it impossible to plan for any summer operations, since it is uncertain whether any funds will be available for office expenses. College B, the only unit chartered unconditionally, seems to be in the best shape. College Master Carlo Pinto’s chief concern is obtaining use of facilities in the Ellicott Complex, especially the theatre. He feels the Colleges’ location in the Complex should justify their seeking their two — night.” He added, however, that most of those difficulties have been resolved, though, and only a handful of classes Equal consideration He contended, however, that the other remains without rooms. provide continuing education as Dr. Spitzberg explained that the Main Colleges thus should be given equal and well, most of Street Campus is preferred because College asserted that after chartering, the colleges’ existence should have been “justified to the University.” The budget for the spring semester was planned under the assumption that additional funding Would be forthcoming, she argued, adding that she takes the present situation as an indication that the Colleges “are not viewed as a vital, necessary part of the the University community” by units. Need necessities Marry Pittman, academic coordinator for College H, said that instructors can now barely be provided with “the basic necessities to conduct their classes effectively,” including movies, speakers, xeroxing, and in some cases, even paper. Most of College H’s instructors are volunteers, she explained, working without pay because “the idea of the College is something they believe in, and are willing to work and fight for.” One representative of Rachel Carson College, Patricia Holland said that “the mere pittance” the College offers as a salary is almost an insult to instructors’ abilities, and that the College has lost at least one instructor who accepted employment at a firm where he “will be able to make a decent living.” Ms. Holland expressed a common sentiment describing the entire chartering process as “a great farce.” She and several others interviewed by The Spectrum said that throughout the chartering they were led to believe that their financial situation would improve afterward. Ms. Pittman said that “some additional help has come, but nowhere near expectations.” • , Lowest priority Ann Williams of the Women's Studies Oil administration. Ms. Williams did feel the Colleges’ difficulties were caused deliberately by the administration, but commented that they are “of the lowest priority” in almost all considerations. Dr. Spitzberg described some of the Colleges’ difficulties in obtaining classroom space: “At the beginning of this semester, there were between 50 and 60 college classes with no rooms assigned to them. Mainly, the sources of our problems are not limited time instructors are available, and because many of the courses meet once a week for three hours, and would be difficult for students to fit into their daytime schedules. Dr. Spitzberg said. But finding classrooms for two or three hours at a time is almost impossible, partly because Millard Fillmore College is given preference over the others in room allocation. This is because it has been in existence the longest, he explained, and tariff Proposals to delay increase Proposals are currently under consideration in the House and Senate to delay President Ford’s imposition of a $3 per barrel increase on imported Arab oil by April 1. Congressional Democrats have repeatedly opposed Mr. Ford’s energy and tax-cut proposals, which would ultimately raise the price of a gallon of gasoline by 10 cents and add comparable amounts to the costs of other petroleum products. Mr. Ford defended his plans Thursday by declaring them “the first step down the long and difficult road toward regaining our energy freedom.” If Congress fails to halt the plan, there will be an additional fee of $1 per barrel of oil by February 1, and additional $1 fees on March 1 and April 1. The House Ways and Means Committee is expected to approve a bill that would prohibit a change in the oil import fee for 90 days. The Committee will also attach the 90 day freeze to a bill increasing the statutory debt limit which is virtually veto-proof, since the government cannot borrow money without it after February 18. In assessing the Ford plan, the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) has determined that the energy and tax-cut proposals will cut into most family incomes because the reduction would be exceeded by the expected rise in direct and indirect energy costs. The only income bracket that could anticipate a small increase in spendable income are those in the lower-middle group, which averages about $8,000 a year Households averaging $2,500 a year will receive a tax-cut of $97, only $15 more than the increase in would direct energy costs alone, but indirect costs run well above $15. “Upper-middle” income group, — The FEA also estimated that indirect costs, such as higher prices for plastics, could run up to $174 a — estimate” $275. Calling the Ford program “the weirdest one I’ve ever seen,” AFL-CIO President George Meany joined other leaders in demanding a ban on imported oil from those Arab nations that took part in the 1973-1974 embargo. The AFL-CIO, meeting in an emergency session, outlined a six-point program that also includes a $20 million tax cut, public works improved benefits for the and programs unemployed.

Next to that “high” estimate, the agency published a “best estimate” of $104 a year.

Kids wild about Davy Crockett hats. Some were people were worried that we might go to couple of Asian islands called Quemoy and Matsu. The latest musical fad was something called “rock 'n' roll." A Chevrolet sedan cost S2000. A nickel candy bar felt pretty hefty in your hand. Funnv. hut whenever you start placing the nostalgia game, you alwar over a ways get around to fond recollections of how far a dime or quarter or dollar “went” in the good old days. Funny, too, but none of us ever seems to really ask why the dollar doesn’t go as far today. Whatever happened to that nickel candy bar? Why, indeed, do prices go up ? Too often we answer with a resigned sigh: “Everything’s going up these days." But that isn’t always so. The prices of some things have gone down: TV sets, for instance, and bail-point pens (remember when we paid $i .50 for a “cheap” one?), toasters and quite-a few other small appliances. How do these manage to run against the inflationary trend? To answer, let’s first consider two basic ways to lower the price of a product (barring the use of low-cost foreign labor to manufacture it outside this country). One way is to cheapen the product, lower its qua! itv. But this is a fatal device in a free market —consumers catch on quickIv. The other way is to maintain the quality but cut the cost of manufacture. If the product is soup cans, for instance, it means producing more and better soup cans for the time ADVERTISEMENT and labor spent. That’s what’s called improved productivity. Now wait a minute. Don’t head for the exits. We’re not talking about men turning screws faster or running around with ladders and oilcans like characters in an old-time movie. We’re simply considering how all of us here in America affect the prices of things we buy through the way we work. Just ponder, for example, what happens when a mix of technology, planning and worker motivation spells high productivity. Major manufacturers of hand-held power tools in Germany, Japan and England have not been able to penetrate the American market because high-quality American-made hand tools are competitively low in price. One of the major forces behind this Decker situation is the Black Manufacturing Co., of Towson, Md. For the past 16 years,, sales of its products have grown an astonishing 17 percent a year, and during that time the prices of many of these products have dropped steadily. The company secret? Better productivity. In part, this comes from the wise investment of funds in new machines and advanced research. Decker’s But beyond that. Black management and workers constantly set goals for themselves and meet them —not necessarily by doing things faster, but by doing them better. A typical problem: Company engineers knew they could vastly improve safely from electrical shock by doubling the thickness of & & insulation inside hand tools. But this would have added ten percent to manufacturing costs. Solution: Redesign of the tools, streamlining assembly and standardizing many small parts so the same ones could be used in different tools. Prices of the safer tools remained the same. While such improved productivity has paid off in increased sales and profits, it has also paid off for employes. The company payroll in 1958 was $14.5 million for 3800 employes. Last year’s payroll was $165.2 million for 20.700 employes. And look at the payoff for the consumer: In 1958, Black Decker’s basic electric drill for do-it-yourselfers cost $18.95. Now it costs $10.99. A standard jigsaw that sold for $44.50 in 1958 now costs $11.99. And remember, these price changes occurred during a 16-ycar period which saw the U. S. Consumer Price Index rise 75.2 percent. But the productivity payoff can also mean a lot more than new jobs and higher pay. Sometimes it spells survival. Consider the 1000 employes of the Ideal Corporation, a maker of precision automotive parts, in Brooklyn, N. Y. Saddled with an old plant and rising costs, Ideal recently looked into building a modern plant in the Midwest. The move would vastly reduce the cost of transporting its products, and the cost of the factory was expected to be about $15 a square foot. Putting up a new plant in Brooklyn, on the other hand, would run at least $25 a square foot, Page four . The Spectrum . Monday, 27 January 1975 & ADVERTISEMENT and related operating costs looked certain to leave the company in an extremely difficult competitive position. Hut Ideal had a loyal and skilled work force. It elected to remain in Brooklyn. Says John Wenzel, president of the company: "We decided to gamble on our ability to engineer processes that wouldreduce our costs." In other words, the productivity of Ideal's managers, engineers and workers kept their 1000 jobs in Brooklyn. And the company is thriving in its new plant. Despite these by-no-mcans-isolated examples, there is disturbing evidence that America is slipping into a productivity crisis. While our productivity has historically grown at a healthy rate of About 3 percent annually, in recent years the growth rate has been falling; last year we had no productivity gain at all. Too many American businesses have been failing because they could not achieve the higher productivity that would enable them to afford the higher wages and shorter hours demanded of them. Others have hiked prices to pay the higher wages, with a resultant loss of business to foreign competition. Nine out of every ten baseball mitts sold in this land of Babe Ruth and Henry Aaron are foreign-made. So arc 19 out of every 20 motorcycles, one out of six cars. Since 1967, foreign industry has caused a reduction of at least 400,000 American jobs. That’s why producThis message is prepared tivity—all of us putting more in and getting more out of our jobs—is of such crucial importance. Fortunately, we don’t have to run around tearing our hair out to solve the problem. Nor do we even have to learn productivity from books or lectures. Indeed, that would be a sad estimation of the people of a nation whose history has been in a sense a history of productivity. For productivity is many things. It is the ability of a businessman to attract dollars to build new plants and create new jobs. It derives from intensive research that gives us advanced technology. And productivity is also an impulse. It’s the impulse that helps a housewife organize her day to cook turkey, bake a pic, set the table, get dressed and greet friends and relatives at the door at one o’clock. It’s the impulse that makes diagonal paths across vacant lots. Think about it. How well did you type that last report, repair that washing machine, tune up that engine, finish that blueprint? You have, we have, in our hands, in ourselves, the means to produce not just cars and books and songs and bread, but an entire way of life and economic environment second to none.

University’s participation in library computerization brings a new dimension to research and scholarly pursuits, affording students and faculty almost immediate access to holdings in a 22-state system than now comprises 287 libraries. The combined holdings of member libraries total more than 1.1 million volumes and are growing at the rate of 1,436 titles each day. State system, which has its computer headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, also has an overnight catalog card service which will substantially speed the processing of new books to library shelves. The Benefits “The information explosion has placed an enormous load on libraries across the state,” Chancellor Boyer explained when he announced State University participation. “Many libraries have a backlog of books to be processed and library administrative costs have increased faster than any other support area.” Dr. Boyer identified four major benefits to libraries in the statewide network; Reduced unit cost of library operations, particularly in the area of cataloguing, and increased internal efficiency; Uniform bibliographic data entries so that all participating libraries can utilize the system with minimum difficulty; Faster location of books by students and faculty at colleges across the state; More effective interlibrary loan arrangements, particularly with respect to State University’s “open access” library program; bibliographic searching and citation verification and reporting of holdings to the National Union Catalog. — — — — funded by Student Act. fees-Vote YES to retain these fees on Feb. 5, 6, & 7. is terminal which connects into the system through telephone lines. It features a 12-inch diagonal screen and a keyboard which resembles an office typewriter. Two steps are taken when using the system for The terminal operator askes the cataloging: computer if the volume has been cataloged by another library. If the book has been cataloged, there flashes across the screen a complete file in less than ten seconds, including title, author and other data. The operator them simply enters a local library Proposed reform decrease SA stipend code and adds whatever essential local data are needed. Other members of the system know immediately that the volume is now available at still another location. If the book is not on the shelves of any other library, the operator, using the terminal keyboard, creates a new record for the system, which projects on the screen as it is being “typed.” The new entry is then transmitted into the computer. The procedure takes about three to five minutes for an experienced operator and is available to other libraries within five seconds of its transmission. In both instances, the operator also requests the computer center in Ohio to produce catalog cards which are sorted, alphabetized and ready to file. These are mailed to the library the following day. budgetary Inter-library book loans are usually arranged by telephone or mail. However, since many of the member New York libraries are relatively close to each other, particularly State University campuses in a given region or metropolitan area, students and faculty can often go directly to the holding library.

Page five vv ' �Outside Looking In Editorial by Clem Colucci This week brings the last installment of songs for our public figures. For now, at least, I have worked my frustrated desire to be a. songwriter out of my system. Continuing with the theme of songs for Presidential aspirants, we have this goodie for that perennial favorite Hubert Humphrey. As you may have heard, the Senator announced he is not a candidate for the 1976 Democratic Presidential nomination and is moving to prevent his name from being put on state primary ballots. He will, however, accept a draft, and since there is no clear favorite for the nomination and the chances for a first-ballot victory are virtually nill, a draft is much more likely than in past years. Mr. Humphrey’s song is provided by Bert Bacharach and Hal David, with some minor changes. The tune is that of their hit “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again.” AKJP SW FRX ~m OML I oFFice of m mre twse iv u&Hiu&QU' PCy 0 What do you get when you’ve run and lost?

But who needs a song more than you, me, and the rest of the Americarr people? So here it is, from Walt Disney’s Snow White: Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it‘s out of work we go. The boss has given out pink slips. Hi Ho, Hi We need some jobs, just how long can we go. Without the bread to pay the rent Hi Ho. Hi editor’s note: The song ends abruptly here because demand for songwriters has fallen off and Mr. Coined, along with many other songwriters has been laid off though he was fired somewhat earlier than most. fee (.him In the spirit of free discussion, permit me to offer my version of the student fee. I have paid a grand total of $204 in three years in order that I could have the opportunity to see Bernadette Devlin (for an additional admission fee), see one documentary (again, after another fee and only after seeing a hideous preview of an adolescent horror movie) and hear Leonard Nimoy speak from one television monitor (that was “free" but I couldn't see the monitor). It is nice to note that the student fee amounts to roughly $2.25 each week. For that much money I could see the first rate feature of my choice every week and be independent of UUAB’s taste in movies. If I went to the matinee, I would end up ahead by at least $1.00. A look at that pie shows at least 30 percent of the fees never leave Norton Union. A look at the past issues of The Spectrum shows that the Student Assembly doesn’t do much else except cut up that pie. The mandatory fee has taken money away from activities and has taken power from the students. How can student government handle grievances when it is too busy grabbing money? Perhaps a better way would be to set up independent councils able to collect dues from voluntary members. This way athletes could allocate athletic funds, others could choose which persons they wanted to hear on campus or which movies they wanted to see. Maybe then we could have a student government that would be responsive to student needs. Reform won’t start though as long as easy money just rolls right in. There is no way we can really change the way this campus is run as long as the mandatory student fee exists.

Monday, 27 January 1975 a dim glimpse of light in the distance to keep me going and my hope alive. That light is our Buffalo Chabad House. Although I was feeling down and out and I had prior knowledge of the disaster that had befallen our Chabad House, I had a compulsion to witness what had happened there. It was as if I didn’t or could not believe what I heard unless I had seen it with my own eyes. I went to see the remnants of the new Chabad House. It was paralyzing. I walked around the severely charred shell of a building, for that’s all that remained. A building that just weeks ago had been the center of happiness and Judaism in Buffalo. I recalled a few Sabbaths I had spent there praying, learning, eating, singing, and most of all feeling at home with the environment. Now before my own eyes it lies devastated by fire as if eaten by some terrible monster, in its prime. For it was so young and new it sureiv could not know how much it meant to us here. In just one year I, as well as many other students, have become attached to Chabad and its functions, religious courses, the Sabbath prayers and meals, and the helpful Rabbis. This disaster is like a friend being critically maimed and I having to look him in the eyes. I tell you I can’t bear to look. I turn away and cry like a baby for I know not what to say or do. I feel so helpless, like a leaf thrown into a rough sea. I, along with other students here, have suffered a great loss. It’s not like a home in New York where if God forbid something burns it is slowly rebuilt with just the immediate family suffering. Here all of us in the Buffalo Chabad family are suffering, and more dangerous, all Jewish students in Buffalo are imperiled. 1 am left with no alternative save to sit and pray with all my heart and soul that please God we will have the strength to survive this disaster and with His help we will be able to rebuild this integral Chabad House and it will be able to resume its life-saving work for Jewish students here in Buffalo and the world over. Yakov h'izik �Kunsler a priority To the Editor It has been brought to our attention that contrary to the resolution passed by the Student Assembly, the Speakers Bureau has not made it a priority to procure William Kunstler as a speaker during this semester. As a result, the University community is losing the opportunity to hear a first hand account of a contemporary issue of nationwide importance taking place in Buffalo, namely the Attica trials. In light of the fact that “Lois Lane." who is to speak next week, is receiving $1,100. and Ronald Reagan is being offered $3,000 to speak, offering Mr. Kunstler $500, which is inexplicably unequal, makes a mockery of the Assembly's decision to make Mr. Kunstler’s appearance a priority. Since this unfortunate situation can still be rectified, we strongly urge any student who cares to hear Mr. Kunstler speak to call or write the Student Association at 205 Norton Hall, telephone number 831-5507, today!

The article is confused, stilted and degrading. Ms. Dube states that the two speakers “had been briefed beforehand” about the WSC’s problems. Does this indicate a plot? The two women merely said they had heard about it and were concerned. The article states that Ms. Steinem first said that WS courses "could be best taught outside the University.’' and “then reneged.” She did not say that. She said that when she went to college, women had to held self-help discussions off-campus — and she didn't think that was good. lark Hall" is not “Clark Hall.” A bunch of chairs does not disguise the musty odor of sweat, or the symbols of machismo, such as the gigantic picture of the blue bull which towered over the speakers’ heads, and the men practicing Karate in the hall.

She said that they sometimes as opposed to being allowed to lire allowed in govern anyone else.

To the Editor. We would like to address this letter to the Speakers Bureau. We are extremely disappointed with the way our money has been spent. Since the Speakers Bureau is funded by the mandatory student fee, we feel we have the right to question the selection of guest speakers. It is disturbing to us that in times of such economic crisis, you feel it appropriate to hire speakers such as Lois Lane at such high fees, when there are an abundance of other speakers who could address themselves to more important and crucial issues. We feel that the speakers bureau should hire people with more redeeming social and political values, as opposed to pure excitement appealing to the nostalgic fancies of people.

Although the committee’s recommendation refers to 40 percent of the various “constituencies” on campus, Mr. Doty said it was “a basic fallacy to assume that the administration is a constituency.” The FSA exists to serve students, not to be controlled by them, he asserted. Manipulative methods In a previous interview with The Spectrum last semester, Mr. Doty said that asking students to control the FSA is like having the customers of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company take over the company. “This is not the way things are done in the United States,” he said. Mr. Doty explained that some FSA’s seem to be under student control, but these corporations Hre really manipulated by the campus administrations. He said he did not want to use such methods. There is no need for any group to receive increased on the FSA because both faculty and students are adequately represented and “the Board hears what they have to say.” Even though the University-wide committee on Auxiliary Services was composed of a majority of administrators, Mr. Doty feels the committee incorrectly recommended a 40 percent limit on administration control because there was only one business-oriented member of the committee (Vice President for Business and Finance Richard Margison from the State University College at Cortland) who was aware of the ramifications. representation Blatant disregard SASU vice-president Bob Kirkpatrick was optimistic that the proposal would not be approved in its present form. “We don’t feel hopeless; we can do it,” he said.

Mr. Spindler said in his letter that the proposals represented the consensus of the committee. Mr. Kirkpatrick lamented that this was the first time State University had involved itself in the internal affairs of FSA’s and said he was surprised that some campus presidents expressed support for a proposal to exclude Presidents from the Boards. He said, however, that two presidents had vehemently opposed the plan, although it could not be learned who they were. Mr. Jackalone said that if the University ignores the recommendations of the committee, it would be a “blatant disregard” of the committee’s work.

Although it is rare that congressional the legislation , has any effect on administration of collegiate athletics, some directors feel that Title IX of the Education Act of 1972 may have a profound effect on their programs. The law is designed to do away with several types of sex-based discrimination within educational institutions receiving federal funds. One of its major provisions deals with athletics and attempts to provide equal opportunity for women’s programs in terms of funding, use of facilities and scholarship aid. Specifically, the bill calls for the recipients of federal assistance to “make affirmative efforts to provide athletic opportunities in such sports and through such teams as will most effectively equalize opportunities for members of both sexes” and that “athletic programs must be operated without discrimination on the basis of sex.” This can be accomplished either by establishing separate teams for each sex, or by setting up coed squads. Separate and equitable Although certain vague sections of the law seem to indicate that actual equal funding, dollar-for-dollar, is required, a Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) fact sheet on the bill specifically denies this: “If separate teams are offered, a recipient institution may not discriminate on the basis of sex in provision of necessary equipment or supplies, or in any other way, but equal aggregate expenditures are not required. The goal of the regulation in the area of competitive athletics is to secure equal opportunity for males and females while where Pres. Ford was an All-American football player 35 years ago, claims that some people believe the law calls for dollar-for-dollar funding, and indicates the problem has not yet been resolved. Some men’s programs, particularly in basketball and football, often justify their million dollar budgets by generating a lot of income. To give the same kind of money to women’s programs would be impossible, Canham asserts. “Most of us are doing everything that is possible further to as most women are doing, that it took 70 years to bring the men’s program to the level that it has now attained.” women’s athletics and keeping in mind, 50-50? There is reason to believe that Canham’s fears are unfounded. “I don’t think there are any women’s programs that want a 50-50 split,” said Carolyn Thomas, Buffalo’s women's' basketball coach. Thomas claims that the women’s programs in general have a different philosophy and will not need as much money as the men’s programs. “I have no desire to play ?0 games a year,” she cited as an example. Thomas relates that the money issue has not been a particularly sensitive one within the Athletic Department here because the budgets have been considered separately by the Student Association. “They ask for their money and we ask for ours. It s not like we had to split it up ourselves.” The women’s budget for 1474-75 was almost double that of the previous academic year. Coed training Title IX also calls for training and medical equal access to which facilities, of a problem for Buffalo’s program. Clark Hall was built in 1938 when such a development was not provided something within anyone’s wildest dreams. However, divider was put up last year, making it possible for women to enter the training room from an outside door that previously opened directly into the men’s locker a room Coed training has been progressing smoothly, with first year trainer Mike effort to making a special Reilly incorporate the female athletes. However, Buffalo’s biggest problem has been physical space.

Their offense consisted of poorly coordinated one-on-one plays and resulted in first half turnovers. from the Bob McAdoo could not buy a basket outside, but did control the offensive boards and shut off the Knick penetration. Ernie DiGregorio’s first appearance in over two long months prompted a standing ovation that lasted enough for Jesse Dark to pump in a quick basket picking up right over the hobbled Buffalo guard where he left off before the injury. The game was boring from an upper level perspective and few of the highly touted Buffalo fans seemed overly interested in the game s outcome. They downed beers, argued politics at half time, criticized the sloppy court play and kept one eye on the scoreboard for the outcome of the Celtic game. And yet the Aud was filled with the usual the unintelligible home team cheers coming from spectators who squandered up to seven dollars for a good seat. They booed when the referees made good calls against their team and yelled obscenities when the game’s progress displeased them. Failing to grasp s the finer points of Earl Monroe’s moves or McAdoo of the hazy grasp their converted board play, they game into inarticulate chants of approval. numerous — like the dinner that is less than ideal hour. This year a compromise was worked out whereby the men’s varsity has first priority and has the right to practice in mid-afternoon. However, on days when they do not practice or are out of town (about half the time), the women’s team gets prime time, and the men s Junior Varsity gets last pick. In Dr. Thomas’s opinion, the University is approaching compliance with both the letter and spirit of Title IX. And though some men may not like it, it appears that women’s athletics is here to stay. Genetics Sports analysis Editor's Note: This irreverent report of last week 's Neill, Knicks-Braves game was written by Mike O who descended from his comfortable Managing junior varsity) basketball teams. Obviously someone must get stuck with practice time Fat-legged cheerleaders took the floor at time doing outs and tumbled their way from split to split, wonders for the imagination of the crowd but delaying the game needlessly. Their simple routines and the half time “extravaganza” that brings two fans to half court for a shot at expensive prizes were designed to entertain the capacity crowd from the subuibs who enjoyed being Buffalonians for a night. Three winning teams have suddenly made it respectable to say you are from a city named after a smelly beast, and thousands of locals are now shedding the obscurity of Cheektowaga and Williamsville and calling themselves part of a city they abandoned years ago. But New York was the real disappointment. The crowded conditions and naive fans at the Aud were the long appearances of Dennis to be expected Bell, Jesse Dark and Harthorne Wingo were not. They are young players and it would be unfair to compare their sloppy play to the smoothness of those who wore the Knick uniforms two years ago, but if these are the players who the Knicks hope to rebuild their powerhouse with they are in for a - disappointment The close score and frequent lead changes were not enough to hold attention. Poor passing on both sides and New York’s disorganized defense led to numerous easy baskets, and except for the embarassing ease with which Randy Smith handled Walt Frazier, the action was dull. Bill Bradley was on the court but not in the game. The sub-par performances that have lately become his standard make that Congressional seat he has his eye on look attractive to New York fans. The Knick offense came solely from the Back court. Walt Frazier, always smooth, was smooth to excess. He didn’t contribute in the clutch and was burned on defense by Smith. Nevertheless, he looked good. The Pearl was a disappointment. His perfromance is usually the highlight of a Knick game and his razzle-dazzling magic is enough to keep any capacity crowd on the edge of their seats. The magic wasn’t there and neither was his speed. n’Nell — —continued six percent, almost everyone has a high school education, and many have gone to college. Since exposure to education has unemployment increased, and remains, having a job and “being a success” seems to have little to do with one’s education or intelligence, Dr. Lewontin pointed out. “Nelson Rockefeller does not have a high IQ, nor did he do that well in school,” but he is a “success” by this society’s standards, he continued. Other reasoning IQ-mongers Nevertheless, maintain that IQ tests measure intelligence, which is related to success. The next step is to assert that “IQ is highly heritable which makes you feel that you got your intelligence from your - parents,” said Dr. Lewontin. If your parents have from page 2— .. little and opportunity, work at factory jobs, you may feel that that is all you will be capable of, he noted. It is then pointed out that blacks and working-class people score lower on IQ tests, although educational of those deprived of educational and cultural experiences. The logical conclusion in this argument is that blacks and, to a working-class extent, “owe their position in society to their genes and nothing can be done about it.” “But genes are not fixed entities. They contain elements capable of wide potentialities,” Dr. Lewontin explained. He asserted that the total environment was what determined man’s intellectual development, and cited numerous examples where children who were moved into a more positive and constructive environment advanced their intellectual practical development and lesser people, performance. “The genes in blacks, reds, and all people are essentially the same,” said Dr. Lewontin. “IQ tests and theories of biological determinism are used as a tool to keep certain groups in whites their place.” rOur everyday-n Dr. Lewontin said this is natural LOW PRICE **Si BLACK STUDENT UNION is Pitcher of Beer funded by Mandatory Student Activity Fees, vote YES to 60 oz. $1.50 5,6, retain these fees on FEb. & 7.

The Spectrum . Page nine �Confident women cagers win big while sisters are defeated two points before departing for the rest of the night. With by Larry Leva Spectrum Staff Writer Anne gone, guard Chris Barone took charge. The Bulls’ captain tallied a game-high 16 points, hitting mostly on long range baskets in key situations. Fredonia, which trailed by seven at the half, never threatened in the second half. Buffalo employed an effective 2-3 zone, forcing the hosts to shoot from the outside. The bench played a major role in the Bulls’ victory, especially after Trapper’s departure. Marilyn Dellwardt and Patty Dolan helped Buffalo control the boards in the star’s absence, pulling down 11 and 10 rebounds, respectively. Marilyn added nine points. Last Wednesday, the women’s basketball team opened its season with some good news and some bad news. The good news was an easy 42-29 win over Fredonia State. Head coach Carolyn Thomas, hoping to point her team toward an invitation to, the State Championships, received the bad news just three minutes into the season. Thomas watched her star center, junior Ann Trapper, limp off the court with a severely sprained left ankle. Buffalo entered the game confident, a big favorite against the lightly-regarded Fredonians. The basis for their almost overconfident and carefree attitude before the game was a 20-point trouncing of the Fredonia team last year en route to an 8-3 record. The only question was whether the team was prepared for game situations. Although the women have been practicing since mid-November, this was their first intercollegiate action. Psychological edge Although the team proved it’s not a one-woman show, everyone connected with the team knows that Trapper is the key to Buffalo receiving state-wide recognition. “She’s as much a psychological advantage as she is our rebounding and scoring leader,” said Thomas. The psychological advantage is a direct reference to Trapper’s 6’1” height, which allows her to intimidate almost everyone she faces. Trapper isn’t the Bulls’ only injured player. Sharp-shooting Denise O’Malley was forced to miss Good shooting Two quick jumpers by Charlene O’Neill gave the Bulls a 4-0 lead, one which they never relinquished. Trapper then countered a Frcdonia score with a layup, her only Statistics box Wednesday’s game due to floating bone chips in her leg. Thomas was satisfied with the team s performance, considering the losses of her two top players. The Bulls face their.top divisional competition (Brockport) tonight. However, Thomas claims that she would feel confident against any team in the state except powerful Queens College, annually among the nation’s elite in women s basketball. “Motivation is the key,” cites Thomas. “If the team wants it badly enough, everything should fall into place.” * * * Buffalo’s women swimmers couldn’t overcome a strong Fredonia squad, suffering a 78-39 loss in the Blue Devils’ pool. Bulls’ coach Barbara Sevier was proud of her team despite the loss, since three of the girls set lifetime bests while winning their event. Mary Wisniewski captured the 200-yard freestyle at 2:31.5, Mary Auricchio took the 100-yard backstroke in 1:23.9, and Frances Malecki swept the 50-yard freestyle in :30. A lack of depth will prove to be the team’s shortcoming in the majority of their meets this year, despite numerous prospects for individual post-season honors. � � � Thw women’s bowling team was upset by Fredonia in a very tight match, 2304-2284.

These possible cutbacks have raised fears of impending tuition and room rent increases to offset lessened state funding. In Students not barred from tenure voting by Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Students are not legally prohibited by a clause in the United University Professionals (UUP) contract from serving as voting members on faculty review committees, the State Public Employees Relations Board ruled early this month. As a result, faculty who oppose the placement of students on these committees may no longer claim that student involvement in tenure, promotions and hiring decisions legally violates the principle of “peer review.” It is generally agreed, however, that faculty who oppose having the students .on voting Presidential Review University’s Board on Tenure will continue to do so, whether the contract expressly prohibits it or not. Student leaders hope, however, that faculty who have wavered because of ambiguities in the UUP contract will now come out in support of voting membership. Announcing that governance cannot be a term or condition of employment, Ceasar Naples, SUNY Director of Employee Relations, stated that “the clause was not intended to restrict or otherwise define the membership” of faculty evaluation committees. Short list The matter was clarified at the request of students from the State University at Albany. Since then, Albany has joined Oswego and Purchase on the list of SUNY schools with voting students on committees which review faculty for tenure, promotion, or Association of the State University (SASU). University professor Constantine Yeracaris, who heads the local chapter of the UUP, was unaware t)f the contract ruling and therefore could not comment on the possible ramifications. Just what effect the ruling-will have on the status of students serving on the Presidential Review Board on Tenure at this University is not known. Last year. President RobertKetter following the recommendation of the Faculty-Senate agreed to pi ilace two non-voting students on the Review Board. students, The two undergraduate Dave Saleh and graduate Elaine Mugel, act strictly as advisors, broadening the base of input available to the Board. They also try to make sure the committee adheres to the proper evaluation procedures and that teaching performance is heavily weighed in the final decision. his State of the State Message earlier this month, Gov. Caifey warried that he would cut the State Purposes Budget by 10 percent. Since SUNY funding constitutes a large part of the State Purposes Budget, University officials now fear a room rent hike. One tuition or a course in the administration SUNY central predicted a possible $50 to $100 increase in room rent by next year. Rubenstein, director of public information of the Student Association of SUNY SASU said, “While we haven’t been able to pin anything down, rumors are that the budget, which will be released by the Governor’s office Tod sometime early in February, will be lean, and that it will be a bad year for everybody. However, our concern is that we don’t feel it should be passed on by raising the cost of education.” — - Past uncertainty In the past, concern over the working of the UUP contract had caused faculty members who support the theory of students voting on tenure and felated cases, to hesitate in opening up the Review Board. Germanic and Slavic Professor Michael Metzger indicated during the Faculty-Senate debate last year that there were “problematic aspects” with regard to the UUP contract. The contract specifically states that academic advancement decisions are to be made by peer review, Dr. Metzger explained. reappointment. “The question is whether this Thus far, there have been no means it should be exclusively complaints about the bahavior or peer review.” seriousness of these students, A student serving on the according to Andy Hugos, Media Tenure Board mighe even hamper Director of the Student —continued on page 14— Cutbacks While he doesn’t expect an immediate increase in tuition, Mr. Rubenstein said there will probably be cutbacks in new programs, and in the growth of SUNY systems, as well as an increase in the faculty-student ratio. Although room rents might also go up next year, another SASU spokesman explained, they are not the “philosophic issue that tuition is and probably could be increased without too much difficulty.” Speaking before a Wednesday, meeting of the SUNY Board of Trustees, Dan Kohane, SASU President, called on the board to “resolve and state unequivocally that it will hold the line on State University tuition and room every $100 increase in tuition, there is a corresponding 2.5 percent decrease in enrollment. Mr. Kohane also pointed out that the state now pays $57 million in aid to non-public schools and said, “In a time of fiscal crisis, the state ought not to subsidize colleges which carry on expensive, highly competitive athletic programs and other gala activities.” Private schools which cannot survive alone should pool their resources with other private and state schools to save through economy of scale, Mr. Kohane said. “It is not the state’s responsibility to save every (private) institution,” he told the Trustees. He also requested that the administration not circumvent the Governor’s pledge to hold the line on tuition by raising dormitory rents. Tuition Assistance Grants and Regents Scholarships cannot be used to pay room rent, he noted, and many students may not be able to afford the additional expenses of living away from home. Favorable climate “Let’s not make the painful mistake of 1972, when the university raised tuition to create a favorable fiscal climate when an austere one could have been endured,” Mr. Kohane stressed. Despite the widespread apprehension over possible huge budget cuts and cost increases, most administrators deny the possibility of an impending tuition rise. Russ Gugino, a SUNY official, said there has been no discussion of a tuition increase. “None has been considered. It is not planned and central rnticipated,” Mr. Gugino asserted. He said the administration is still waiting to see if there will be any drastic cuts in this year’s budget. “If there are substantial cuts,” said Mr. Gugino, .“the trustees will make a close, hard examination of the budget to try and find ways of cutting costs. But no one wants to see a tuition increase.” He admitted, however, that if circumstances a tuition hike might be considered. A spokesman for Gov. Carey said that the final decision is still being made. There has not been any word of a major cutback in the SUNY system, and the Governor still favors the state’s supporting any increased costs in higher education, he indicated. not Opposition Two area legislators. Sen. James McFarland (R., Kenmore) and Assemblyman Arthur Eve (D., Buffalo) both said that they had not heard of any plans to drastically cut the SUNY budget or to increase tuition. Mr. Eve said he would not comment on a possible increase until he saw the new budget, while Sen. McFarland said he would oppose any attempt by Gov. Carey to raise costs for students. “It is a time for austerity,” he said. “We have to be prudent and judicious but 1 don’t see what would be gained by increasing costs for students. We just last year passed the Tuition Assistance Program to help people meet costs. It would be counter-productive to take any action to increase tuition.” tuition rent.” Mr. Kohane echoed a campaign statement by the Governor when told a SASU Mr. Carey conference, “The state, not the students, must bear the burden of financing higher education in these days of inflation and higher costs.” Mr. Kohane disagreed with the Board of Regent’s contention that tuition at the state’s public colleges and universities should reflect rising price levels and reflect more closely those of private schools. Well-being “The issue here is not the expediency of higher tuition or rent or of competitive private schools,” Mr. Kohane declared. “The issue is educating our citizens for the long range prosperity and well-being of our room Hugh Carey �Travel agency loses second court case A second University student has been awarded money by Buffalo Small Claims Court in a decision against Travel Power Inc., based travel agency, a Brooklyn and its campus representative, for damages incurred as a result of the agency’s cancellation of two prearranged group flights to New York just before the Thanksgiving weekend. Mike Malkin was awarded $120 by a judge Wednesday afternoon. The award represents the difference between what it actually cost Mr. Malkin to drive home and back that weekend and the agency’s promised discount air fare of $60. Last week, another student, Bob Burrick, won a similar suit against Travel Power. Both Mr. Burrick and Mr. Malkin have filed a complaint with the Consumer Frauds division of the Buffalo Attorney General’s Office, which is investigating the possibility of prosecuting Travel Power. A decision is expected in the near future. The agency’s cancellation of two prearranged flights on the Thursday night before the long - The Fillmore Room in Norton Hall was the scene for the Student Association’s (SA) transfer orientation last Wednesday afternoon.

Neither group plays a big role in the “power structure,” they say, and both groups are perceived by others as belonging to a “leisure government retirement receive pensions tied to the cost of living, said they had few worries about economic matters.

When retired persons at four senior citizen centers in Western New York were surveyed by State University Buffalo at social scientists two years ago, they responded more favorably to questions about “our boys in to did about “youth questions today.” A third category of the young, “college students,” drew the least number of positive responses.

The controversy was characterized by changes in flight times and prices which angered many of the students involved. Thus far, Mr. Malkin and Mr. Burrick are the only students who have sued the agency, but Mr. Burrick pointed out that it is not too late for anyone who feels he has been wronged to file a suit. In both cases, Travel Power did not send a representative to court or answer the charges in any way. Mr. Burrick said that when he called on Travel Power campus representative Alan Rosenberg to collect his award, Mr. Rosenberg told Mr. Burrick to contact the agency’s New York office. When The Spectrum telephoned Mr. Rosenberg in his room for comment, he refused to discuss the matter. -Rich Korman ABBA EBAN’S lecture was sponsored by Mandatory Student Act. Fees.

The Assembly approved the nomination of Assembly member Oliver Fultz to serve as Public Information Director, succeeding Glenn Gabai, who left the post in mid-November. Executive Vice President Scott Salimando urged Assembly voters to find candidates for the position of Student Athletic Reviaw Board (SARB) Chairperson. The Assembly had rejected nominee Alan Rosenberg at the December 10 meeting. Student Activities Coordinator Sylvia Goldschmidt requested that six clubs whose temporary SA recognition had expired be considered for permanent recognition. The University of Buffalo Frisbee Club, on Ms, Goldschmidt’s recommendation, received recognition with funding. The Israel Information Center, Tai Chi Association, United Farm Workers Support Committee: SUNYAB Chapter, and Give-and-Take Club were granted recognition without funding, as Ms. Goldschmidt recommended. Club denied The Assembly voted to deny permanent recognition to the Network for Institutional Change after Ms. Goldschmidt reported that their activities were duplicated by other organizations, and that she had not heard from them since October. Mr. Salimando reported the University Calendar Committee had failed to reach a decision on changing the spring vacation to coincide with the Easter and Passover holidays. A series of tie votes in Committee dropped the decision directly into President Robert Ketter’s lap, from which t is expected to emerge Monday. Although Mr. Salimando acknowledged hat a change this year would disrupt certain activities, notably SA Travel and Schussmeister’s Ski Club, he agreed with Assembly members who called for a letter-writing campaigrT do persuade Dr. Ketter to change the vacation dates. Retain the fee Both Mr. Salimando and President Frank Jackalone stressed the importance of - —Huber retaining the mandatory student activity fee, which will come before the students in a referendum February 5, 6, and 7. Three thousand of the ten thousand SA budget surveys distributed last semester were returned, said Mr. Salimando, but the figures have yet to be compiled and interpreted. He asked anyone able to operate a key-punch machine to see Art LaLonde, who is in charge of reporting on the statistics. Mr. LaLonde said that experience in outlining a governmental structure too complicated and too closed. The new government will consist of three “task forces”: Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, and Student Activities and Services. The Academic Affairs Task Force will be composed of one voting and two non-voting members of each academic departmental club. Non-attendance will be penalized by a frozen club budget. The Student Affairs Task Force will be open to anyone PANIC Curbing fining powers The Student Judiciary (SJ) levy fines on students found guilty of certain conducted violations, Attorney General Louis Leflcowitz ruled last month. A motion to allow the SJ to levy fines with SUNY central administration had been filed by Ronald Dolman, a Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) adviser, and Ron Stein, associate director of the Office of Student Affairs. Early in 1973, Mr. Dolman felt there was a need to grant restricted fining power to the judiciary. “Student justices were expressing the need for a middle-of-the-road sanction,” Mr. Dolman said. In the past, a student found guilty by the Judiciary was either reprimanded or recommended for suspension. The finding proposal was seen as a third, more moderate option. In October 1974, Dr. Ketter informed the Office of Student Affairs that Mr. Leflcowitz would soon make a ruling on the matter. On Dec. 4th, the Attorney General ruled against the authorization of fining power at all State University campuses. may not Right to fine According to the Attorney General, Sections 355 and 366 of Numbers game The main legislative body will be the Student Senate, consisting of ten members elected from within each of the three task forces and the Executive Committee officers (President, Executive Vice President, Vice President for Sub-Board I, Inc., Treasurer, and the heads of each task force) for a total of 37 members. The Senate will deal with legislation proposed by the task forces, which will perform detailed research in their specialized areas. Budgetary matters will go to a separate body, the Financial Assembly. The Financial Assembly will be divided into the Financial Assembly proper, the Finance Committee, and the Financial Priorities Committee will be chosen from the Student Activities and Services Task Force (except the members associated with religious or political groups which are barred by state law from receiving funds from mandatory student fees). It will set general budgetary priorities. The Finance Committee, chosen by the Senate, will handle the details of the budget. These two groups, and ten students elected at large for the Financial Assembly (but not members of either of the other groups), will decide on a final budget. Although some attacked the plan as too complex, National Affairs Coordinator Michele Smith defended it by saying that other schools have similar systems, some of which have worked. The full text of the proposed Constitution will be presented to the Assembly at the next meeting, to be held at 3 p.m. on Wednesday. Constitutional changes Bruce Lang, Chairman of the Constitutional Reform Committee, gave a preliminary explanation of the proposed Constitution, and was criticized for Student Judiciary by Rosalie Zuckerman Spectrum Staff Writer The Student Activities and Services Task Force will consist of six representatives of minority and religious organizations, four from “service” organizations like Community Action Corps, four from athletic groups, four dormitory students, and six commuter students. All of these will be elected by their respective interest groups except the commuter students, who will be elected at large. operating the machines was not necessary. “Any dummy can learn to keypunch in ten minutes. It only too me twelve or thirteen,” he quipped. A move to amend the SA Constitution regarding the powers of the SUNYAB Religious Council failed when a quorum count revealed that less than fifty members out of over 150 were at the meeting, far short of the number required to pass a constitutional amendment. Mr. Salimando used the occasion to plug constitutional changes that would ease the amending process. the Education Law, which allows the SUNY Board of Trustees and local campus councils the right to establish penalties for student violations, do not specify the right to levy fines. Such authority could be obtained only through the State Legislature, he concluded. Mr. Lefkowitz’s decision met with a mixed reaction. Dr. Ketter felt the ruling was appropriate, since there is no legal basis for the authorization of fining power. However, Student Association (SA) President, Frank Jackalone, feels it is wrong to assume that the University does not have this right simply because the law does not specifically state it. The next step toward acquiring fining power would be to approach' the Student Association of the State University (SASU) and request that it pressure the state legislature into granting Universities the legal right to levy fines, according to (SA) Student Rights Coordinator Hillary Lowell. Ray Glass, legislative director of SASU, said SASU has not been approached by any of its delegates from Buffalo. “Until we are contacted by these delegates,” said Mr. Glass, “it will be impossible for SASU to take a position on this issue.” In the meantime, SJ is looking into alternative sanctions. One such alternative would require students to work with the university or with a community project as compensation for an offense. Another would be the establishment of a program to rehabilitate the offender. The ELLICOTT PARTY was sponsored by Mandatory Student Activity Fees. Vote YES to retain this fee on FEb.

Or.., �New blood program started A newly-developed technique of extracting relatively large quantities of platelets from small amounts of blood is now being employed by the Greater Buffalo Regional Red Cross Blood Program. The process, called platelet pheresis, removes platelets from donated blood so they can be used at a later date for treatment of leukemia, cancer, and bone marrow failure. A unit (pint) of blood is extracted from the donor and then channelled through a Hemonetics machine which removes the platelets via a centrifuge, which then separates the blood into its components. After removing the platelets, the machine returns the rest of the blood to the donor. A second unit is removed while the first is being returned. No more than one pint of blood is missing from the donor at a given time. The procedure, which takes two hours and requires the presence of a doctor, is repeated until six pints of blood have been processed. The program will operate on a regular basis in the Buffalo area and donors will be allowed to give as often as once a month, if the need arises. Donors are not required to give regularly, however, and will be accepted if they fulfill the program’s requirements. They must be between the ages of 17 and 65, weigh at least 110 lbs. and have a medical history free of infectious and lingering diseases. Operating out of the Red Cross office at 785 Delaware Ave., the program is open from 9:30 a.m.—3:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 1—7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Additional hours are available upon request. Because of the complex procedures, only two donors are received daily. The program supplies over 50 area hospitals and provides the platelets at cost. Potential donors may call the organization at 886-7500, extension 282, for information.

A spelling module is also available. Cathleen McWhoter, director of the center, has found the most common deficiency of those entering the center to be notetaking. But for the inner city students who attend this University’s Educational Opportunity Center, (EOC), the main learning problems are in ph onics and comprehension, to according Nancy Barnes, director of the center’s reading lab. The bulk of her students are learning to read so they may take the high school equivalency program. These students usually cannot words, and pronounce many cannot read critically. “The main problem for the reader who cannot read up to capacity is that he does not think while reading, and he does not use his own background to relate the material to what he already knows,” said Ms. Barnes. “Good readers see themselves in relation to the material.” Self value If the reader does not see the relationship of the material to his own life, he gets turned off in she emphasized. school, Eventually, his lack of participation makes the printed matter seem foreign to him. The approach used in the EOC lab is all-encompassing. Students are taught both phonetically and by the sight method, in which they listen to a story played on tape as the words are flashed on the screen. This procedure is followed with comprehension questions Eventually, to test learning. phonics, sight and sound are all presented on the screen. Tachistoscopes, or controlled readers, are usetl to improve scanning and speed comprehension. “The first step in helping these students is getting them to talk about it,” said Ms. Barnes, to help do away with the negative self concept they have developed. Developmental programs are also available at Erie County Community College and Buffalo State College, Most of these programs have some students who are not below “normal” reading levels, but who wish to better their reading study and techniques. �Save the Peace D.C. rally to focus on culture of Vietnamese give WASHINGTON (LNS) to the 1973 Peace Agreement for the to Organizers Assembly Save the Peace Agreement report that there has been a “massive Many activities The three-day conference will groundswell response" to the three-day anti-Indochina War be a solidly packed affair which conference due to be held in will include small group Washington, D.C. beginning workshops, plenary sessions/ a demonstration, a commemoration tomorrow Organized by the Coalition to of the signing of the Peace Stop Funding the War and the Agreement, the appearance of United Campaign for Peace in several notable Vietnamese Indochina, the conference representatives, a day of lobbying coincides with the secondary at Capitol Hill, movies and a anniversary of the signing of the Vietnamese cultural event.

That charge came from a state senate investigation which reported last month that agents from the Inspectional Service Division (ISD) of the Baltimore City Police Department have been keeping files and spying on newsmen from The Sun, The Evening Sun, The News American, and several local TV and radio stations. Maryland Governor Marvin Mandel called for a detailed report from Baltimore Police Commissioner Donald Pomerleau, who later announced that the ISD files contain no names of “any political figures, any public figures, any newspaper reporters or any clergymen.” Mr. Pomerleau’s memorandum, however, did contain an appendix listing 40 to 50 names of persons suspected of criminal activity. The report denied police complicity in political surveillances, but acknowledged that “activity folders” on some personalities (four newsmen among them) “could have been . , created.” Commissioner Pomerleau explained that the folders should not be confused with “investigative files on these officials.” The “files” state that Arthur Geiselman, a former reporter for The Evening Sun and WBAL-TV, owned city property illegally. Mr. Geiselman testified that a group of plainclothes policemen had followed him around Baltimore, taking pictures and that the “city property” he had in his possession was a series of photographs showing underworld chieftan Bernie Brown with Governor Mandel and several local public officials. The pictures, scheduled to be shown on WBAL-TV, were pulled by the station’s legal counsel under a highly unusual threat of lawsuit, Mr. Geiselman said. “Pomerleau was trying to find the photos so he could have incriminated Mandel,” he explained. How can Mandel investigate this thing when he very well may be involved? The ISD report said it had not placed A1 Sanders, a reporter for WJZ-T, under surveillance, as reported in the New American. Mr. Sanders had allegedly been seen at the funeral of a slain city policeman talking to and leaving the automobile of a person with a criminal record. But “there was never a written record made of the incident at ISD,” the report stated. The ISD report did not respond to allegations by the News American that two of its reporters were under surveillance nor did it comment on charges that Robert Twigg, The Sun’s former Police Headquarters reporter, had been watched. Police spokesmen denied that the phones at The Sun’s Police Headquarters office had been tapped in May 1973. Governor Mandel said the IDS had “received a report” that Michael B. Davis, a former Evening Sun reporter, “was in the pay of organized crime figure Bernie Brown.” Gov. Mandel accused Davis and Brown of attempting to “shake this office down to free a prisoner that they were interest in.” He charged that a story Mr. Davis wrote about the improper transfer of state prison inmates was designed to get Charles Tipton, a prisoner in the Maryland House of Correction, out of jail. Mr. Davis replied to the Governor’s accusation, stating that he did not know what a shakedown meant. Philip S. Heisler, Managing Editor of The Evening Sun, backed Mr. Davis. He asserted that “Davis was simply trying to find out whether anyone was trying to shake down Mr. Tipton.” Discussing Mr. Pomerleau’s claim that he was on the take, Mr. Davis said, “Bernie Brown never even bought me a drink. He was merely a news source, as he was for many other reporters who covered criminal activities in Baltimore.” �Deadlocked committee sends no calendar recommendation by Kim Weiss Staff Writer Spectrum President Robert Ketter is expected Monday to rule out changing the spring recess from March 8-21 to March 22—31 to conform to the religious observances of Jewish students. The Calendar Committee deadlocked in a 5-5-1 vote on the issue last week, and will therefore forward their report to Dr. Ketter next week with no recommendation. The proposed calendar changes originated last year with members of the Jewish Student Union (JSU), who felt that the date of the spring recess should be changed to coincide with the Easter-Passover holiday period. Last May, JSU president Steve Laub contacted Student Association (SA) executive vice president Scott Salimando, who supported the idea of the calendar change. Mr. Salimando was referred to Admissions and Records Director Richard Dremuk by Dr. Ketter. Mr. Salimando told Mr. Dremuk in a letter that a recess concurrent with the holiday time period would be more convenient for traveling students to be with their families. Moreover, he explained, there was ample precent for the change: three other SUNY centers offer their spring recess during this period, as well as many other schools in the state. He also cited a student referendum. and petitions supporting the change. Not till next year Mr. Salimando also recommended that when the Easter and Passover holidays do not coincide, the Calendar Committee should assign the recess arbitrarily in the middle of the semester, as it has done in the past. Last June 27 the Calendar Committee reconvened and generally approved the proposal, according to Mr. Dremuk. “However,.’ he said, “the ’74—’75 calendar had already been announced earlier that month, and various segments of the school population had begun to make plans according to that schedule.” Therefore, the proposal was not expected to go into e.fect until the ’75—’76 school year, he explained. Mr. Dremuk said the issue was pretty much left aside until early December of this year. “The spark which re-ignited the fire was set off when Buffalo State College changed its calendar late last semester,” he explained. JSU spokesman Sam Prince said that if the State College could alter its calendar at such a late date to convenience the students, “then it can and should be done here. More importantly,” he added, “we have been working for this reform for over three years now and we are quite frustrated at being told to wait time and again.” Insurmountable problems Walter Kunz, associate dean of undergraduate education and member of the Calendar Committee, said he was sympathetic to the students’ request but said, “Logic dictates that if you make a change at such a late date which will affect 28,000 people, undoubtedly, insurmountable problems will arise.” Mr. Dremuk said he was told by the seven provosts that it would be a serious inconvenience to many staff members. “The Health Science Faculty would be in a grave dilemma,” he said, because it depends heavily on clinical work. Appointments for dental work are made several months in advance and could not be rescheduled until the summer months, Dr. Kunz explained. “What’s more, UB with 30 other organizations, is given first choice every May for facility time at local hospitals. Many students would be negatively affected if they were unable to make use of the facilities,” he added. Dr. Kunz said the Micro-molecular Biology Department was expecting a shipment of specimens during the proposed vacation, and people must be on campus to receive them. Additionally, Schussmeisters Ski Club has put down an $800 deposit for a ski trip during the second week in March that would be forfeited if the calendar was altered. “Many professor." he continued, “have made plans now, and could conceivably file a legal complaint if the calendar were changed." vacation No discrimination Andrew Holt, associate dean of the Graduate School and a member of the Calendar Committee, said that in the past the committee favored an arbitrary mid-semester break to avoid potential discrimination against persons of any denominations. He said the committee “held rigidly to the concept of separation of church and state." Dr. Holt objected to the change now only because he believes that any alterations would be “unwise” under the current contractual agreements. The JSU, however, is continuing its campaign for the recess change. Mr, Laub and Judy Friedler in 4 letter Wednesday, urging Dr. Ketter to make the change, said, “We are tired of being put off. We realize that it is rather late now, but it is the committee’s short-sightedness which has brought this situation about.” Ekwenzi urges new African literature Speaking before a largely African audience in Diefendorf Hall Wednesday, popular African author Cyrian Ekwenzi spoke about the need for a native African literature that would “get the people reading.” Explaining that “literature defines itself over time,” Mr. Ekwenzi appealed to the young African writer to “free his own impressions.” Mr. Ekwenzi views the African novelist as a “prophet to mirror African society,” and a person who must serve as an instructor. Mr, Ekwenzi divided African literature into two categories, “elitist” and “for the masses.” He described the folk tales of Amitya, writings of between ten and fifty pages, which he said were lurid tales of men and women. Pointing to the problem of language, Mr. Ekwenzi said the African author usually writes in either French or English, making it extremely difficult to translate the works back into African languages. He described the African who studies abroad as “displaced, neither African, nor American.” Addressing the critics of the new African literature, Mr. Ekwenzi differentiated between those with “good hearts,” and those who take on arbitrary positions of authority. The first help to develop the literature, he said, while African critics who are familiar with the literary scene have the responsibility of shaping Africa’s literary future. He said that African novelists would soon take their places in world literature. A natural living dorm suite by Martin Brooks Staff Writer Spectrum Complaints about dormitory life seem to be a standard topic of conversation among college students. Reasons for the griping can be as serious as building security, a problem raised here this past year, or as superficial as carpeting color or the location of the nearest bar. No matter how large the problem, however, individual students'-SStking to rectify the problems have generally resorted to mere complaining. This has not been the case at Duke Universiyt, in Durham, N.C., where social and environmental concern has motivated six undergraduate women to form a unique suite in,. Wilson House, a Duke dormitory. The living arrangement is based on a commitment to the idea of living naturally and practically by minimizing waste in energy anil food consumption while promoting innovative use of these resources, according to Barbara Beinstein, a member of the Natural Living Group that is conducting the experiment. Natural lifestyle “We want to come up with a workable natural lifestyle that will fit into the university and still be healthful and much less wasteful than we are accustomed to,” she said. “Because everything we is so easily come by, we use things simply because they are there.” “This leads to mammoth waste and a mentality that encourages further inefficiency at a time when we can ill afford it,” Ms, Beinstein went on. “What we are attempting to do is examine our actions through natural living.” Important in developing a natural lifestyle is questioning how to go about it in a better way, have according to the group. The Natural Living Group plans to grow as much of its own food as possible, recycling everything, renounce plastics, and possibly build a small scale solar beater. In short, they plan to search for- a balance between our wasteful industrial society and the total renunciation of modern technology. r “i GOOD FOOD RESTAURANT Hong Kong Chicken with vegetable.

However, if we solve only the problems of education, our educated children will solve Herbert Lehman, the problems we have left. former Governor of New York " Before soaring inflation and recession have a disasterous effect on access to higher education in New York State, the SUNY Board of Trustees must do everything possible to prevent an increase in tuition or dormitory room rent. The burden of a tuition or rent hike would be shouldered most by those least able to cope with it poor and working at a time when education may be the only hope for people ending their economic troubles. A recent study by the National Commission on the Financing of Postsecondary Education found that for every $100 increase in tuition, there is a corresponding 2.5 percent drop in enrollment. While there is admittedly a need for more careful spending in this period of economic crisis, fiscal austerity should not include measures which deny education to those unable to pay college costs when education is so vital for achieving an awareness of our interdependent world. A hike in tuition and living expenses would also have a resounding effect on middle class families. In recent years, middle class students have been flocking to low-tuition public colleges because they are ineligible for most financial awards and cannot afford the enormous costs of a private institution. An increase in tuition would only push them further into the squeeze between the lower and upper classes. Four years ago, tuition at this University was a yearly $400; it is now $650 and $800 for lower and upperclassmen respectively. No increase in Regents Scholarship or Scholar Incentive awards accompanied that tuition hike. Consequently, attendance at the State University for four years now costs $2900 instead of $1600. The increase is multiplied for parents who send more than one child to college. When parental inability forces the student to finance his education himself, he must either work while he goes to school, if he can find a job, or take out large loans which leave him in heavy debt when he graduates. In supporting the Student Association of the State University's (SASU) opposition to any hike, we are not asking the state to throw disproportionate amounts of money into the University. We are simply asking the Governor and Legislature to adequately fund the University, and the Board of Trustees to take the lead in designing and implementing programs to conserve and recycle resources the University now has. SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer and Governor Carey must play an active role in keeping costs stable. As President of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, which has made the commitment to low tuition a part of its platform. Dr. Boyer would surely embrace the arguments for low tuition. As for Mr. Carey, we hope that the trappings of high office will not make him forget his campaign position fhat "the state, not the student, must bear the burden of financing higher education in these days of inflation and higher costs." — — But seriously . . . by Sparky Alzamora think I’ll put on ‘Taking Care of Business’.” and workin’ ov e rt i me!” my dad cooed back and my parents began doing the bump. Right in time to “Suffragette City.” At one point, my father missed my mother’s bump and he went crashing into their waterpipe. The water spilled, and would have ordinarily stained our shag carpeting, only the carpeting had been ripped up. “Heavy bummer,” my dad sighed. “Bummer royale,” my mom concurred. “What’s all the bummer shit, give me a break, folks!” I was getting angry. “Whatever happened to Andy Williams and our tacky silver candelabra, and the pink flamingos on our front laws, and now that 1 think about it, my younger brother and sister?” “All sold.” “Even Mary and Eliot?” “They’re at private schools, the best our pink flamingos could buy,” dad said. “But why the change in middle-class attitudes, values and mores? It’s not like you to abandon Jacob Javits for Timothy Leary.” I never got an answer because several of the neighbors walked into the house without ringing, knocking or scratching, exchanged peace symbols with my folks, and everybody did the bump.

One neighbor brought over a tank of the gas and circulated balloons around and everybody got fucked-up. “More balloons!” my dad pleaded. “Quick, another balloon before I come down!” mom pleaded.

On the door, hanging directly above our brass eagle door-knocker, was a cardboard Santa with arms and legs that bend at the elbows and knees. His hand was pinned against his mouth with a make-shift hash pipe protruding from its chubby lips. The caption, written on his belt, read: Tfiis Family Wishes You A HIGH Christmas. “That’s odd,” 1 thought. That was just the beginning of odd. A tornado of banana incense wooshed past my face as I cautiously peered over the surroundings of what was once my home. The imitation Rembrandt (“The Soldier in the Golden Helmet”) no longer complimented our Lowerey organ; a black and white poster of Jimi Hendrix hung there. In fact, the organ was gone and a sick looking wooden chair took its place. I was despondent; I had never gotten around to taking organ lessons. The entire middle-class look of my home had taken on an avant-garde type of appearance. Pat Nixon might have designed it on LSD. I immediately became ill to my stomach. Charles Manson had escaped maximum security, rounded up his coterie of curvaceious cut-up cuties and ultimately destroyed my family. “PIG” scrawled in blood? I couldn’t find “PIG” scrawled in blood. Had the Mansons mopped off before they left? The man I call “dad” broke through the bead curtains separating the dinette from the living room. He poked his hand out, palm up. “What do you want me to do, dad?” “Slap me five.” “Huh?” ‘Give me some flesh,” 'That’s ‘Give me some skin’ dad, not flesh So I gave him some skin.

I began to feel ill again. “I’m into Bowie now,” my mom said. “Last week, I was into the Dead, the week before, 1 was into Chick Corea, and at the beginning of the month, I was into BTO.” “BTO?” “Bachman-Turner Overdrive,” she squealed. “1 - experience. “It does when you been taking sopers all night,” gasped between hits of nitrous. “I better leave,” I said. “Before you do, take out the cat,” dad commanded. “Forget about the cat, son,” my mom chuckled, “your father ran over him in the driveway last night.” I lost my mellow head. “You mean you squished the fucking cat with your Jew Canoe?!!” “Don’t lose your cold . . .” “That’s ‘cool,’ dad.” “Don’t lose your cool. 1 didn’t kill him.

MIRRY �HERMANN HESSE'S what happens to her because of it, but her inscrutible eyes and the most sensuous smile since Garbo make speculation wwo( S** seem pointless. Pierre Clementi as her boyfriend Pablo, the saxophonist who helps introduct Harry to the Magic Theatre, looks exactly like a leftover from the trailer for Andy Warhol's Oracula which precedes the film at the Granada Theatre. But he is the personification of decadence (come to think of it, perhaps he/s, just like the Count from Transylvania?), and his particular brand of casual, vaguely malevolent sensuality is perfect for, the part. Beyond redemption Even Max Von Sydow, magnificent actor that he is, can't fglly redeem the self-pitying and generally but his contemptible character of Harry Haller performance implies a depth of feeling that Haines' script doesn't begin to plumb. Like Liv Ullmann, another brilliant protegee of Ingmar Bergman, Von Sydow has really horrendous luck with American directors. In films like Hawaii and The Excorcist, and now in Steppenwolf, every gesture and expression suggests a level of complexity with which his co-workers simply can't seem to cope. We get glimpses of the tragically introspective Harry who might have been, but Haines won't give us any more than the grim, insecure nonentity eventually condemned to eternal life by a jury of ghosts for the crime of lacking — Sound receives the same by Randi Schnur Arts Editor As soon as I learned the alphabet {and long before I ever heard of philosophy, hippies, or Hesse), I began going through my parents' bookshelves, wondering what all those funny titles meant. I was eight or ten years old before I could reach the really interesting items; even then, though, my curiosity exceeded my ambition, and I seldom had read the dustry volumes if my mother could describe them to me faster Steppenwolf, she explained briefly at dinner, “is about a man who's really just like a wolf sometimes, or at least he thinks so. It's kind of interesting." Well, I had outgrown that sort of nonsense along with Green Eggs and Ham, I decided, and went back in disgust to whatever the hot item for third graders was that week. By the time I got to college, I had become a little more tolerant, and took a second look at Harry Haller, self-confessed madman and sometime Wolf of the Steppes (although not before reading the first 20 pages of Siddhartha three times, and being only slightly more engrossed by the recent movie). 1 was really searching hard for the mind-blowing cosmic experience several usually trustworthy friends swore that Haller/Hesse had given them; I found nothing much that I didn't know, and quite treatment: a clock behind the table at an uncomfortable dinner party ticks like Poe's Telltale Heart until a diner breaks the long silence. After Harry receives the Tractate on the Steppenwolf from the robot-like street vendor, there is even a short animated sequence (after all, we couldn't just sit there and listen to Max Von Sydow read, now, could we?) in which Hesse's point is made with absolute literalism, in case we might otherwise miss the metaphor. Was Haines so unsure of his material, so bored himself, that he felt it necessary to shock us back to attention every two minutes? humor. My mother was right Touch of class For such an unexciting film, Steppenwolf doesThave a really trertiendous cast. As Hermine, the prostitute who brings Harry back to life and either does or does not end up by sacrificing herself (depending, I suppose, on your point of view), Dominique Sanda has a face and style that almost make one forgive the incredible things coming out of her mouth. Why she decides to pay so much attention to Harry in the first place is left as much of a mystery as special effects and — bits fo Steppenwolf, with its crazy fine acting, is "kind of interesting." But Pablo's comment to his friend "You're a lulu, Harry. You talk just like a book" is true of all the other characters as well, and the particular book which comes to mind can't quite sustain Fred Haines' treatment. The other recently released Hesse film, Conrad Rooks' Siddhartha, was even more visually beautiful and emotionally stultifying; let's hope for better luck, and a little more thought next time. — — a bit that I didn't care about anyway. Cosmic cliches The schizoid conflict between opposing, overlapping selves, and the bigger one between illusion and reality, were no major revelations. Neither was the idea that no laughter makes Harry a dull boy, and neither, certainly, was the (apparently) drug-induced vision of the Magic Theatre, For Madmen Only. Hesse's self-hating protagonist becomes Harry in the Sky With Diamonds but the and the him, whatever was hidden inside diamonds reflect not all that kaleidoscopes pretty. the are images in Hesse's jumble of confusing images and simplistic philosophy has now been turned into a confused, extremely literal jumble of a movie by Fred Haines. The screenplay, which he adapted from the novel, sags under the weight of profundities like ''Obedience is like sex nothing like it if you have been without it too long," or "Dancing's as easy as thinking, and a lot easier to learn," or (from a jazz musician dispensing cocaine to some friends on the street) "You can't always get what you want, but you can always get what you need." Delivered to the persistently suicidal Harry with all the solemnity of messages from his waiting grave, these gems from the wisdom of the age are somewhat less than edifying. — — value? His dialogue may Shock not be stimulating, but Haines and cinematographer Tom Pinter more than make up for it with their camera work. Nd trick known to man or movie camera is ignored here; every scene has its visual shock(s).

Then the Film Critic saw Amarcord, and he wanted to take it all back. His publisher said that it was absolutely too late to rewrite the entire section, so the Critic took the proof sheets and ingeniously changed all the uncomplimentary words about Fellini to complimentary words with the same number of letters. How much of this story is true, Tm sure I don't know. The point is that Amarcord (I Remember) is a film that will cause people to revise their views on Fellini and begin loving his work. Again. Amarcord is set in a small, coastal Italian town during the later 1930's. Still, it's not so much set there as it sets you there. You actually seem to be somewhere in the cozy town square with its smooth stone walkways, crazy celebrations, and the snow that makes December sequestered. You're there in the spring, too, as those celestial, white dandelion puffs float carelessly through the square. charming, vigorous gentleman with a warm smile. He moves his practical bicycle through the square taking care not to disturb anyone or upset a strand of the thick silver-blue hair under his hat. Another "narrator" is an old, thin fellow with holes in his dirty gloves; a pre-War Freddie the Freeloader. The "narrators" provide a sense of Rimini's history and boundaries without pushing their own personalities too hard. You find you are free to look at Rimini as Fellini sketches it in his opening shots. Then, as the film progresses, he adds details and colors to selected features of the sketch. — remembers from his previous work as it is a new film based - .. - - Oh, there are smiles Humor is a consistent element in Amarcord, but it's both not often humor you want to laugh at. Smiles outward and inward are coupled with emotional malaise ... — - the most common reaction to Fellini's peculiar sense of comedy. Topically, the humor ranges very widely, a homely vendor is lured into the bedroom (it looks like a Busby Berkely set) of a luscious harem whose members nod in unison for him to ravish them, a fool faints at a saint's funeral, mass masturbation in a car is augmented by the blinking of the car's headlights as the shot does a slow fade, a bored dunce juggles three odd objects at a dinner table before the start of a hot family fight, a schoolboy urinates across the length of a classroom, and a seduction scene is shot with the camera moving sensuously up and to produce Current Just as you'd grab a puff should it drift past your nose, so you snatch characters, bits of stories, flashes of local color. Most of the characters who eventually become important to the loose story are initially seen in group shots or just standing, strolling, or muttering single lines. A sexy woman with a sense of humor slides around town jammed in a fiery red dress. Her high cheekbones call you to her mouth; it laughs. Walking through town is a stupidly be satanic school teacher with a scratchy orange beard careful, you could cut yourself on it. A frustrated fat boy dreams and a grizzled old accordion player with black circles for eyes calls another boy a "degenerate." - Don't I know you? As characters assume importance, you remember their earlier, brief appearances because their faces were so vivid in those earlier scenes. Here, Fellini is cartooning a little in order to isolate the people who bear on his story; he chooses actors with particularly expressive faces. It's a technique not very different from using stars (who should have interesting or, at least, recognizable faces anyway) in the key roles except that in Amarcord you feel you know the people from seeing them in earlier shots of the town instead of from seeing them in other movies. It's an effect that is considerably different from that Fellini achieved by using grotesques in some of his past work because in Amarcord, the actors' special facial qualities are more subtle and, happily, more complexly suggestive. The difference is that between a fright mask and rouge. Fellini subdued is Fellini redeemed; the effect assumes a beauty and power when used sparingly to a purpose. Scusi Occasionally, the characters stop to address you, but when they do they don't become narrators. Rather, they are just some townsfolk you meet and speak to as you walk around the town (Rimini).

Each boy is enveloped in an unspoken, personal dream; the boys become spiritual scarecrows keeping all dark, wicked birds from the town while they dance. If "I remember" accurately, that music is borrowed from The Nights of Cabiria one of Fellini's best and earliest films. Amarcord borrows a lot of Cabiria'% other charms (like its characters and that sense of magic we saw when Cabiria winked daringly to the audience as the film ended). In fact, Amarcord seems to be as much a borrowing from and a refinement of what Fellini ~r\ sponsored not While Amarcord is made up of little stories, it is The become a episodes sense. usual itself a story in the sometimes whole although they are also distinct and through town. punctuated by a motorcycle that roars More striking, that motorcycle, than was the carnival of were cycles that blazed through Fellini's Roma they vapid a comparatively but film, pretty, in that other exercise in technique.

The film's themes adolescence, the rise of fascism, reflections on family life are integrated into a cinematic poem. The sketches comment on each other. They all have something to do with the epigram, "Winter's death gives birth to Spring," it's spoken at a giant town bonfire when an ancient named "Temperance" barely escapes (or does he?) death amid flames with the straw witch called "Winter." Occasionally the film jumps around in time; when a "narrator" takes us into the past it's like seeing earlier drawings of the characters in the town. several other Fellini films and whose music enhanced Francis Ford Coppola's, recent Godfather movies.

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

Prodigal Sun �I Our Weekly Reader For Love or Money by Roy Doliner (Simon and Schuster) Roy campleting After Doliner's For Love or Money I felt sad; sad because I had hoped for much and received very little. So many of our finest writers continue to depict tailors, grocers, locked into an salesmen, oppressive, dingy, but evocative urban environment, emphasizing character, perhaps some humor, striving for that fragile balance of irony and pathos that can be so poignant at times, but which is becoming increasingly elusive in our manic world . . . and here was Doliner, smiling and appearing so fresh and confident, happy (was it too much to suppose that he was on top of things?), even cute on the back cover photograph: could it be that he, at least, would attempt something different? The opening pages answered: "Yes!" This Doliner was no fool, he had devised a unique situation: Lou Greff, once the owner of most famous the “Greff's," Jewish restaurant in Nueva York, dies. Once in Heaven, he finds that there's no good places to eat; everyone is begging him to open up a new place ("Lou, could you do it again? Could you give us another 'Greff's'?"). The problem is that Lou died without fixing up he didn't his business affairs know that you could "take it with So Lou Greff is given you exactly one week to return to earth, round up his old staff, straighten out his fiscal affairs, round up a little extra capital in order to open a "Greff's" in the — sky. Then Doliner says, "Sounds good, but now some themes." So Jack Sussman, the ."in" to the judge, tells Lou he should find out how Jack's wife murdered him so that when she dies, Jack can get her sent away. Meanwhile, Bernie Greff, the son, is a crumby writer, still in love with Sharon Sussman, Jack's daughter, who married Al Costello, who's having an affair with a foxy black lady. Bernie is tormented about the memory of Lou, and also the inheritance Lou promised him. Somewhere along the line Bernie does a thing with Sharon's mother, the one who murdered Jack. The villain is the Mastermind, a shyster lawyer who's tring to flimflam everyone out of their money: he's the brains behind the murder(s). Lou cleans the slate with his mistress, a manicurist, and persuades his Polish baker to commit suicide in order to join the staff. What is saddest of all is that Dolines finds all this nonsense very funny and also very meaningful. Father-son identity crisis, murder, infidelity, old romance, the down home integrity of a pastrami sandwich: Roy's got it all down. There's even a thing about twin brothers (almost) one is the son of the dynamic who are Israeli female premier separated during childhood. And just when you least expect it there's an ironic twist on the old father-son reunion that would just dazzle you if it weren't so bizarre, so irrelevant, so ridiculous. The narrator sounds like this. "An experienced woman with fine Miss legs. Regan handled a well." And Vone is barstool supposed to say after reading that: "My uncle talked just like — that." Characters sound like this: "You've also got to go to the Old Man. Let him do a square wing tip for you, and maybe something in buck. You may not get another to create his own mythologized urban Jewish community, with shot at him." Or; "Why do I take this? Why do I need it? I'm a wealthy man, well thought of, esteemed in the highest circles." In the midst of all this plotting, Heaven the characters in telephone down to earth, just to kibbitz; and the climactic scene takes place at the train station, with a mad rush to catch that last subtle or blatant differences that the all the the opportunity to imagine his own version (detached, comic); he would have the fictional freshness and added pungence of being able to criticize, comment, satirize, and shape the same fictional materials that he loves: the ethnic Jewish milieu. But Roy doesn't see things that way; he's definitely his own man. Why bother with changing folk-culture into myth when you can just get it all down right? So the Heaven that Lou arrives in is he needs just like the real world an "in" to get to see the influential judge who will let him return to earth, and that judge is a dumb ex-ball player who received the job as a political favor; Lou — lives in a rundown flophouse because he's broke, while others live in mansions; God is so aloof that he might as well be in Heaven.

Roy Doliner is a sweet-looking guy who takes nice jacket photos. But this book is not frustrating simply because Doliner thought up a nice idea, filled with fictional potential and the possibility of combining innovative writing with a social realistic milieu, and then ignored no, it is all the opportunities also of frustrating because Doliner's sincere affection and mundane, the the love for maudlin, the crass: in his humor, his themes, and his concept of the — world. Listen, in case you get the wrong idea; if somehow you find yourself wanting to buy this book, stop, get a hold of yourself, march over to the nearest deli and say, like Lou Greff; "A can of Bumble Bee salmon. Drain the oil, a few slices of cucumber freshly cut, and a tomato quartered, not sliced." Or, if all else fails, try the tongue.

This Sunday two exceptionally talented country performers, John Prine and David Bromberg, will be appearing at the Century Theater under the auspices of "The New Buffalo Folk Festival." Macro, Green To make it in the music business, a performer usually required to do certain things to keep from starving. This is part of what is commonly referred to as "paying your dues." Most top stars have a history of schlock skeletons in their closets playing weddings and bar mitzvahs, in top 40 bands, or whatever else the specific case may be. Some others simply people find this fact disillusioning find it amusing. Most musicians are more than glad to be able to leave that phase of their careers behind them: some try to conceal it, some grudgingly or laughingly admit to it However, f have never known until last Safurday'rpgtat*when anyone to flaunt it was Barry Manilow came to Kleinhantf, and subjected to what had to be one of the most revolting displays of commerciality ever witnessed. (HINT; that's a pun.) — — — I Chic city They say you can't judge a book by its cover, have known by the looks of the crowd (especially the two fifty-year-old women with grey hair and red pantsuits). Where is it at when the audience is more dressed up than the performers? (Oh we must be in Buffalo.) It had to be one of the most well-behaved crowds I've ever seen (translation; dead). Anyway, Robert Klein came bouncing on stage in faded jeans and Adidas, faithful red bandana hanging out of his back pocket, and proceeded to deliver a rip-roaringly funny routine that lasted about an hour. Like most good comedians, most of Klein's best material comes from his ability to rip away the facade: to separate the illusion from the reality, and make us laugh in the process. He particularly enjoys ridiculing the sugar coatings and hypes used by the large institutions, something you already know if ypu've heard either of his albums. but I should — Commercial During seemed this particular performance, Klein to focus on the entertainment business, both live and on T.V., as one of the more insidious perpetrators of deluding the public. He kept coming back to the subject of commercials again and again, attacking them from an infinite number of perspectives, all equally perceptive. From the starved dog used by Ed McMahon on those live Alpo commercials ("sure he'd eat Ed's arm if he could") to the Amoco oil "environmental" plugs ("What can one man do, my friend? I'll tell — you what one man can do. I'd like to see the President of Amoco put his mouth over the exhaust pipes oL-some brand new car with Amoco chugging in it. That's what one man can do, my friend.") to the famous confrontation between the boogying cockroaches and the fascist Raid can, Klein's cracks were continually right on target. (I was to remember this part of his routine later with more than a tinge of irony.) Some of his other bullseyes included dentistry (". . . dentists are the only people we pay to cause us pain"), children's shows ("Sesame Street is the only show that even five-year-olds know is dumber than they are") sports, and Sermonette. Klein didn't do an encore. There wasn't sustained applause. Looking back, I do recall the slightly uncomfortable feeling that my friend and I were laughing harder than anyone else. After one of the quietest intermissions on record, Barry Manilow's band came out. Four pieces and three girls in glittering gowns with matching eye make-up (two black, one white). The band started with a fast driving number. One of the girls stepped Mr. Barry up to her mike: "Ladies and gentlemen Manilow!" A feeble smattering of applause greeted his entrance. The emaciated Mr. Manilow, garbed all in white with "Chopin" written in glittering gold letters across his chest sat down at the piano and began to sing "It's A Miracle." It certainly wasn't. The girls had neat little dance steps and hand motions with which he joined in occasionally. Groan. Las Vegas, here we come. — Minus Midler If you don't know, Manilow used to be Bette Midler's arranger, and his numbers were very reminiscent of hers, with one important exception; he had none of the outrageous sass that carries Bette's performances. Most of his songs smack of the mid-sixties ( in fact, there was even a Martha and the Vandellas medley), and it occurred to me that it has taken this long for what was once a new and revolutionary art form to take its place in the "acceptable" files of the unhip generation. Deco-dent. Manilow was obviously somewhat nervous, and his performing style, which consisted of occasionally jumping up from his piano to do a weak Jagger-type strut, could use both practice and originality. In mid-show, Manilow explained that this was the part of the show where a performer was required to do something familiar, or else the audience would "get nudgy and start ordering pizzas. So here's some material I've either written, arranged, or been involved with." Have you guessed yet? Manilow and Co. proceeded to run through a medley of his greatest hits; the Kentucky Fried Chicken jingle, the State Farm Insurance jingle, the Pepsi Generation, and for a grand finale, a star spangled rendition of the MacDonald's jingle, replete with a 21 gun salute and flashing lights. Egg McNothing I mean, what It was all downhill from there could follow an act like that? As far as I'm concerned, that's the bottom line. People paying generally money to see T.V. commercials considered to be the worst shit in the world and digging it. I wish I could say that Barry Manilow is a no talent. But it's not that easy. Some of his ballads are actually very beautiful (like "Sandra"). Most of his songs are well-written. He has a pleasing vocal style. Now if he only knew how to treat his own stuff with some respect. I walked out to the strains of "Mandy," his latest AM hit, accompanied by enthusiastic bursts of applause. Finger lickin' good? — — — Not for —WiHa Bassen me. Friday, 24 January 1975 The Spectrum .

Ask any theater manager. Given that fact, it seems more appropriate to skip the personal opinion and move on to the reasons why the theater was full, and tell what others can expect from this film. The plot of Murder on the Orient Express is a guaranteed attention-getter: The Great American Murdery Mystery. No matter what the nationality of the author, we Americans love a murder mystery. In this case, the author (Agatha Christie) is the tops in her field.

His beady-eyed Poirrot manages to stay two steps ahead of us without losing us completely, and the energy he exudes often overpowers some of the weaker performances in the film. He is so good that it would be a mistake for him to duplicate the role in whatever sequel is probably being planned. There just isn't much more he could do with Poirrot without winding up in a rut.

Field Newspaper Syndicate. 1976 From the Dean /- himself To the Editor. Allow me to briefly comment on one item in Colucci’s article on grade inflation, page two, The Spectrum, 12/9/74. It is, by the way, a very good article just as the one in the preceeding issue. In his second paragraph he refers to me as having said, two years ago, that “nearly 60 percent Clem I feel that it’s time that someone spoke up about the dispicable conditions existing in and around the Governor’s Residence Halls out on the Amherst Campus. This particular dorm, which consists of over 800 students, has been neglected time and time again in the past and hopefully this letter will induce some of the people responsible into sitting in seats). Waking up in the morning to a freezing room (this is a condition that everyone has become used to the room’s temperature varies from an icebox to a sauna), I proceeded to the bathroom to take a shower, only to find no hot water. These conditions, plus the loss of Dry Cleaning service availability (moved to Ellicott), no T.V.’s in the television lounges, and the further depreciation of quality in the dining halls make this dorm an increasingly more difficult place to live.

Governor’s Residence Halls really isn’t that bad a place to live. — Jeff Bernstein Glaring distortions To the Editor. Aside from the fact that Paul Krehbiel’s article “The Developments Which Led to the Mid-East of Today” (12/11/74) is a pile of assorted misrepresentations, it definitely has no business appearing as a new article. If space is unavailable in the waste-basket or in a treatise on the “big lie” technique, such slanted material should be printed on the editorial page where opinions belong. Anybody pretending to write an article on the development of the mid-east who fails to mention the Yom Kippur war, and the fact that the Israeli “secret attack” on the Egyptian air forces in 1967 was provoked by an Egyptian blockade of a vital (to give two glaring examples of distortion) is either an ignoramus, a bigot, or both. Which are you, Mr. Krehbiel? I would advise you, in the words of Mark Twain, to “First get your facts straight, and then you can distort them any way you choose.” And 1 would advise The Spectrum to refrain from placing such trash in places where it can be mistaken for objective journalism. Israeli port Gerald List Editor's note: Mr. KrehbieTs article was intended as a news commentary. and should be viewed as such. The word commentary was accidentally omitted from the top of the page on which the article appeared.

Racism is a CRIME against all working black and white. Racists should be behind people bars, not selling “books.” Neither should they be - administering the affairs of this city. Yet, school board racists and racists in city government are probably more of a threat to us all than this handful of Nazis. Buffalo Board of Education President, Joseph Murphy, is among those politicians who are very personally responsible for perpetuating the containment of black students in inferior schools. Buffalo Corporation Counsel, Anthony Manguso, acting for the city, is trying to tie up the state’s integration order in the courts. This sort of WASHINGTON Who can legally tap your telephone without a B.) your wife or husband, C.), the order? A.) the telephone company, D.) the Pope, E.) nobody. Answer: C.) the telephone company. Under a little-known provision of the federal statutes, the Bell Telephone Co. can tap your line, and they don’t have to say boo about it to anybody. The only condition: they must suspect that you are perpetrating fraud against Ma Bell, and that translates into using electronic devices to make free phone calls. But a Houston grand jury, investigating charges that Bell employees helped local police make illegal wiretaps, forced AT&T to reveal that no fewer than 665 of Ma Bell’s finest are invovled in a wire tapping operation that covers most of the country, and may not be limited to surveillance of long distance freebie freaks. If that were not enough, at least 76 of these company security people are former F.B.I. agents, and there are indications that Bell maintains close working relationships not only with local police but with the Bureau. According to Associated Press reports, one Houston attorney has charged that “several scores” of persons have been tried and convicted on information voluntarily supplied to the F.B.I. by Bell - for a bus back to Governor’s which was extremely crowded (it probably had more people standing than *7 W After sitting out on a bus stop in front of Governor’s for over 40 minutes, watching two buses, which originate at EUicott pass by because there was no more room, I decided that something had to be said.

V. Ebert Lousy; place to live action!. Ron Hendren of all students in a given semester make the Dean’s List.” This is incorrect. The highest percentage of students on the Dean’s List occurred in 1969/70 with about 5 1 percent. Since then the percentage has stabilized at around 31 percent. University Dean n “official” racism has encouraged the open bigotry of the Nazis, and it is clear that city, state and federal governments have absolutely no intention of wiping out the racism in the institutions of public education, housing, health care, etc. that they manage. To change the situation we can rely only on ourselves: on multi-racial, student-worker unity. Racism means billions of dollars in profits for the big bosses who rule this country, and every cent is taken out of our collective working-class hide. Those who will persist in thenracism, not until they are “proven wrong” in “open debate,” but until they are physically stopped by carry out the policies of the rich masses of black, Latin, Native American, and white working people committed to fighting for control over their own lives, i.e. for an anti-racist, workers’ government: socialism. agents. What is astonishing, of course, is that the government would permit a private company to spy on citzens in the first place, with or without a court order. Next we’ll be giving A&P a license to frisk every customer at the check-out stand to find out who’s stealing onions. The astonishment turns to more immediate concern when we learn that Bell has hired a small army of spooks who have only themselves to answer to, and whose judgement on whom to tap, when and for how long is absolute and final. Indeed, by the company’s own reckoning, this earphone armada costs far more to equip and maintain than the total amount Bell loses in revenue from long distance cheating, at least in Houston where six security agents, three of them ex-F.B.I. men, work to prevent losses from fraud that company officials estimate to be in the neighborhood of $100,000. Why, if these six were paid $17,000 a year each, to be sure not an outrageous figure for career veterans, Bell would be spending more on security salaries alone than it is losing from fraud. Not exactly a sound business practice, especially in light of the fact that Ma Bell, just like the rest of us, has the option of picking up the phone and calling the police when she thinks someone is stealing from her. So what is this security army doing? It’s a question the Justice Department needs to ask. Just how long has the tapping operation been in effect? How many phones have been tapped, whose, when, for how long and on what grounds? What information has been gleaned from the operation, where and how is it maintained, who has access to it, how much of it has been given out, to whom and for what purposes? The federal courts should immediately subpoena and impound any evidence which might provide answers to those questions, and should order Bell to cease and desist its entire wiretapping operation for the duration of the investigation. Congress, in the meantime, should move quickly to repeal the federal statute under which Beil’s security agents have been operating. Not too many issues are that simple. This one is.

While Dr. Hockfield could not predict the outcome of a faculty vote on the issue, he noted that “what made the matter harmless before was that students didn’t vote.

Mr. Kunstler termed the lack of funding “an utter scandal and disgrace to the community.” CINPERLLAr LIBERTY . Jury selection jon 25 & 26 The Last Detail Directed by H. Ashby Starring Jack Nicholson Randy Quqid ft****************************** Jury selection in the case is expected to last several weeks. Challenges will be made by attorneys as soon as the first jury pool of 12 is questioned. As many as four jury pools may be interviewed before a final jury is approved by both the defense and the prosecution. In addition to the questioning process, the Attica defense is utilizing the skills of two volunteer specialists; Jay Shulman, nationally known for his “scientific jury selection method,” and David Sugs, an expert on body language. Potential jurors are encouraged to ask questions as they are being reviewed. One was concerned, however, that his involvement would force his personal history to be made public. Mr. Clark told the court that this type of probing was not the objective of the defense, but acknowledged that community leaders and neighbors might be questioned about the character of a particular juror. He said the press sometimes conducts investigations of its own. Persons working on the case do not have access to school or work records, however. The intensity of jury selection questionning was expressed by one prospective juror who said there was a “need for a lawyer in the jury box.” Co-Council denied On January 17, Judge King reversed a ruling he had previously made allowing the defendants to speak on their own behalf in court and cross-examine witnesses. This area of law was left to the discretion of the judge, since there was no precedent. Defendants are usually represented by a lawyer, or handle their defenses by themselves, but the right to do both is still debateable. When questioned by the defense. Judge King provided no explanation for the reversal. Wade hearings have begun in another Attica trial where former inmates Frank Smith, Herbert Blyden, Eric Thompson, Roger Champen and Bernard Stroble ate accused of killing Barry Schwartz and Kenneth Hess, two other Attica inmates. Wade hearings are held before the formal opening of :riminal prosecution to insure that witnesses have identified defendants without being pressured by suggestive tactics by the prosecution. The first Attica trial to reach a jury ended after the jury had deliberated only half an hour, finding Vernon La Franque innocent of the possession of a tear gas gun. Julie Kryder, a juror in the case, said, “The evidence was very lacking and there were contradictions in the testimony of the prosectuions witnesses.” TICKET POLICY 50c for first afternoon show 100c all other times 1.25 Fac/Staff/ Alumni $1.50 Friends of University **�**��***��*�***�**�***�***��� All Films in the Conference Theatre Norton For information call 5117 c JShU'c# tfftfeim �past, students appeared at the cafeterias with quart jars and plastic bags which they filled for friends not on the meal plan.

The Bulls will be looking to improve their disappointing 7-11 1 record and strengthen their playoff hopes y y4t such a slow start this year. “Our schedule’s set up badly,” remarked Perry, who, along with Sylvester, plays 35-45 minutes each game. “We play too many Division One teams early,” claimed Perry, “and we just don’t have the depth to play them that often.” Sylvester concurred; “We get in a rut after playing the Division One teams, then it’s tough to get up for the other teams, like Kent State and Elmira.” — for either an ECAC or CCHL berth — or both. Ray Gruarin, the top scoring newcomer, has tallied four goals and six assists in his first five games. Gruarin may be the spark needed to improve the Bulls anemic scoring. Buffalo has always been known as an offensive club, with scores like 9-6 far more numerous than 2—1 results. In fact, last year, Buffalo was the top scoring team in the East, tallying 200 goals, an average of nearly seven goals per game. Less punch This season, the offense has yet to produce, making defensive lapses more significant. “Nobody realizes that defense starts with the forwards,” remarked defenseman Mark Sylvester. “The forwards have to come back and play defense so the defensemen can stand up at the blue line and break up the play. If they {the forwards] don’t come back, we have to back in on our own goalie, and it gives the other team time to set up.” Another defenseman, sophomore Mike Perry, explained why the Bulls are off to Out of the stands “We have a lot of young guys on our team who haven’t had the experience yet,” continued Perry. “It’s especially tough for them against these teams. Some of those teams, like Bowling Green, have guys in the stands who could step in and play just about as well as anyone on our team.” The Bulls award no full scholarships, whilp teams like Bowling Green, Clarkson, and St. Lawrence have most, if not all, of their players on full rides. This week, the Bulls have their chance to prove themselves. The week starts off with a three game New England road trip against St. Anselm’s, Salem State and New England. Right wing Mike Klym figures to score his 100th career goal on this trip. After the New England swing, the Bulls return home for a series with Western Michigan for a Central Collegiate League tournament bid. “We’ve still got to win the big game,” observed Sylvester. “We’ve been losing the key games we could have won, like Oswego and especially Hamilton. Everything rests on this next week whether we make the playoffs or not.” Buffalo defenseman Mike Perry (No. 5) hustles for puck in action last season. Perry had some discouraging words about his fellow students. "I think we've got fair weather fans. It's depressing when you skate and no one's there. Moore kept the game dose.

Page seventeen �Diversity and respectability by Paige Miller Spectrunt Staff Writer Spectrum Sports Editor Bruce Engel dwarfed by the Amherst recreation "Bubble." When this shot was taken last week, Engel, Spectrum Photo Editor Kim Santos and a workman were the only ones inside. Next month hundreds of students will be playing basketball, tennis, badminton and other activities inside the billowing edifice. GIF by Bruce Engel Last Monday, we noted recreation director Bill Monkarsh’s excitement over the inflation of the Amherst Bubble. This column probably criticizes more than it praises, but on this occasion I am thoroughly pleased to give credit where credit is due. Monkarsh has displayed unusual energy and dedication while busting his chops for this thing during the last year and a half. He got a well-earned thrill when he and Duane Moore, who also deserves a lot of credit, stood inside and watched the Bubble inflate around them. However, not to slight the untiring efforts of Moore and Monkarsh, the Bubble stands as a tribute to student power and politics. It was a student project almost from the start. The single incident most responsible for the securing of the funds from the state was a trip to Albany taken last spring by SA Student Affairs Coordinator Howie Schapiro, Warren Breisblatt (then Athletic Review Board Chairman), and Stan Morrow. This trio spent a hectic but successful two days in the state capital meeting with everyone and his brother in an attempt to secure the funds. Now that the Bubble is a reality, a little Anyone who has played with a bar magnet can tell you that opposites attract. Similarly, it takes people of diverse abilities and diverse.backgrounds to form a basketball team. Buffalo coach Leo Richardson has assembled a team with widely varying backgrounds and from many parts of the country. It took a while but now, as if attracted like polar magnets, the team has jelled and is playing well. Jeff Baker is the prime example. Unlike most athletes, Baker was not recruited. He served in the Air Force in Niagara Falls after graduating from Central Senior High School in the nation’s capital. as his teammates call him “Shake and Bake” introduced himself to Richardson after a Buffalo game last year and told the coach that he could help the team. Apparently, Richardson is convinced, since Baker has become a starter at forward. Jeff is 22 years old and his goal is to play for the U.S. Olympic basketball team in 1976. The Bulls other starting forward, Bob Dickinson, fits the “All-American schoolboy” mold. Following his career at John F. Kennedy High School in Plainview, where he was named All-County, he was heavily recruited. He chose Buffalo and became a big success in his first year here, scoring 19 points per game for Buffalo’s freshman team. Now a senior and co-Captain, “Dicks” is averaging just over ten points per game. Buffalo’s starting center, Sam Pellom is a 19 year old freshman with a baby face that makes him - - Life project. Throughout the process there was disagreement over what would and wouldn’t be done with the Bubble, who would provide the funds and who would be in control. Now the state has put it up, the recreation department is in charge, and the SA’s Athletic budget is paying the staff and purchasing some equipment. It appears that the structure will be used almost exclusively for recreation in the late afternoons and evenings. It will be too late to start classes, and intramural basketball will be almost over when the structure opens for student use. But the students will have a couple of months of much needed indoor recreation, to say nothing of the next four or five school years. With all the controversy, scandal and general depression in the air, this simple little chunk of plain old good news is very refreshing. The Bubble is not a palace, but it’s better than nothing. The mere fact that it is there is something students can be proud of. Now it’s up to you, the students, to protect it, take care of it, and most important, enjoy it.

Fees, vote YES to retain this fee on Feb. 5, 6, & 7 Rounding out the backcourt is another native, junior Gary Domzalski. Gary was not recruited, but after his first three junior varsity games as a freshman, he was elevated to the varsity. Gary became a starter as a sophomore and continues to do an excellent job of bringing the ball up and penetrating the front court. It is apparent that Richardson intends to retain these five starters. But he did not decide on them until after he had tried a very unusual experiment. He played alt 15 of his players in the first half against St. Francis last week, then decided on this unit minus Dickinson. But when Mike Jones got into foul trouble in the following game, Dickinson stepped in, and has been leading the team ever since. These unusual circumstances have resulted in five very different starters and a respectable ball club. Life Workshops provide small groups in which people can share interests, skills, ideas, and experience learning outside the classroom. There are over 30 workshops this spring, including Senior Life Saving, Slimnastics, Body Conditioning and Sensitization, Photography, Guitar, Folk Music, Architecture, Horticulture, Knitting and Crocheting, Beading and Antiquing and Collecting, Creative Life Planning, Death and Dying, Psychomat, Assertive Training for Women, Student Financial Aid, Dynamics of Human Sexuality, Rape, Your Heart and Heart Disease, a Nuclear Energy workshop, Audio workshop, Ski Mechanics, Minor Home Repairs, Terrarium workshop, Bridge, Foreign Language Conversation Groups, and Low Budget Gourmet Cooking.

The idea of student government’s actually funding the Bubble was not considered seriously for very long, despite the fact that Athletic Director Harry Fritz seemed willing to accept substantial cuts in the athletic budget if the students built the thing. After it became obvious that the state would have to fund the Bubble, the rumors changed almost daily and different officials checked with the various powers to be in Albany. One day Schapiro would say it looked good and the next day Breisblatt would say it was almost dead. And so it went until the Albany trip all but cemented the semester. Workshops more of its history seems Last year at this time Monkarsh had all but given up on the idea. He had made the proposal but it was going nowhere. Almost bitterly he threw the ball back to student government (Schapiro and Executive Vice President Dave Saleh were already kicking it around) with the warning that 2000 Amherst dorm students might become 2000 disgruntled constituents if they had no place to play. SA President Jon Dandes claimed to have gone the full route on the subject. He had discussed it with all sorts of bureaucrats and list of dangers and security problems.The most Jon cojld get, and he showed me the memo, was a statement from Dr. Somit to the effect that the University could provide the space if the students paid for the project. Dandes could see no way to procure $250,000 of student funds, even over the course of several years. Other student powers remained interested after Jon dropped the project, though. Saleh, Breisblatt and Schapiro renewed the campaign and Monkarsh was more than happy to jump in again. The sympathetic ear of Duane Moore was found in the facilities planning office and the look even younger. Pellom hails from Leland, N.C. and he is in Buffalo by fortunate accident. Leland is about 150 miles from Richardson’s home town and Sam was not recruited until after Richardson “discovered” him there in a summer-league game. Backcourt starter Otis Horne, from local Bennett High, also has an unusual history. He was recruited but because he did not project a 1.6 grade point average, he could not compete as a freshman. (NCAA rules at that time stipulated that all freshmen must project a 1.6 average based on high school performance and standardized tests or they would be declared ineligible for a year.) Horne, the bravest Bull, since he lives out in the Ellicott Complex, was also ineligible last semester due to an incomplete grade. Last season, he averaged 15 points per game and has performed well so far this UK********************************************** FRIENDS OF CAC present A FANTASTIC FROLICKING FESTIVAL OF FLICKER FOLLIES Friday and Saturday - January 24th and 25th 7:45 pm and 10 pm 14 0 C A P E N FRIDAY TICKETS AVAILABLE AT NORTON HALL THE CRITIC Mel Brooks HIGHWAY RUNNERY Road Runner HELPMATES Laurel & Hardy THE TELLTALE HEART Poe SATURDAY THE GREAT CHASE W.C.

While a substantial majority of students here supported the mandatory fee four years ago, SA President Frank Jackalone is uncertain whether the issue will receive a clear mandate this time.

The report recommended that doctoral programs in early modem European history, Medieval history, Latin American history and Far Eastern history be phased out because the University docs not have enough internationally-recognized scholars that hold dissertations and can advise students in these areas. Tony Schamel, President of the Graduate Student Association, said the study, was an attempt by the State Education Department to coordinate Ph.D. programs thoughout the state, and involved outside observers coming to this and other campuses to evaluate the various doctoral programs. The department reviewed programs in history, chemistry, physics and English at public and private institutions across the state. Take away autonomy The program committee then made recommendations to Ewald Nyquist, State Education Commissioner, supposedly based on the reports of these observers. Many people feel, however, that, the program committee went far beyond anything in the observers report. “The recommendation was not based on the January report which was favorable,” explained Dr. Clifton Yearley, chairman of the history department, “but was an attempt by the State Education Department to take local autonomy away from the universities. It’s a question of who controls doctoral education in the state.” Mr. Schamel also cirticized the committee’s report. He said that the members of the committee were mostly outside scholars in each area being evaluated, who could not be sympathetic to the internal pressures that this University’s teaching faculty are subjected to. Furthermore, he said there were not sufficient avenues for the University to answer the report’s criticisms. The requirements for what they considered qualified personnel were too inflexible, he explained, and “they were involved in an area most appropriately left to the universities.” Other procedures Both Mr. Schamel and McAllister Hull, Dean of the Graduate School, pointed out that this University has had its own evaluation procedure for the past five years, in which outside experts are brought in to review the doctoral programs. “The UB evaluation is a very strong, good procedure, which the State Education Department was trying to duplicate, but their system was not as good,” said Mr. Schamel. i President Robert Ketter announced at December’s Faculty Senate meeting that he had asked Commissioner Nyquist to reject the recommendations in “principle and in substance” because of the “highly singular rationale for their being made.” Dr. Ketter also raised the question of the legal power of the Board of Regents and the State Department of Education to disband University programs. “If you can dissolve doctoral programs, you can dissolve professional programs, and undergraduate programs without designing any criteria,” he said. Dr. Hull pointed out that the Education department has the authority to change programs but that the issue was how that authority was used. “The State Education Department didn’t assume any power it didn’t have under the law,” he said. The manner in which they were using their authority,” he indicated, “needed more concern.” “The State Education Department and this University trying to achieve the best both have the same goals graduate education possible for our students. We were just concerned that the commissioner was being recommended on a coarse that we considered irresponsible,” Dr. Hull - explained. Because of complaints by this University and several other institutions that went through the evaluation, certain changes are being considered, he went on. The state plans to institute mechanisms that will communication between the evaluation committee and University. Institutions of higher learning will henceforth “be requested for responses rather than perscribed what to do,” Dr. Hull explained. Another change he expects to see is a greater reliance on the evaluations of the State Education Doctoral Review Committee, which is composed of members of the University community, instead of depending on an ad hoc committee of outside scholars who may not clearly understand the intricies of the University. Mr. Schamel was also confident that future review procedures will rest more with the University, and expects a favorable decision sometime next week on the four improve history programs in question. t ~~ '"’T' ' S'\ A,- -r . v / «r Vr �*>/ / ky :, *1 f &L 4 j �• White Power • f r X • f » ’ Local protests arise over racist bookstore by David Haitkin Staff Writer Spectrum essential to negate the idea of a racist society.

Travel Power Inc. has from ten days to two weeks to pay Bob Burrick the difference between the agency’s promised discount air fare of $60 and the $73 Mr. Burrick paid for a seat on an American Airlines flight. Also included in the award were incidental expenses resulting from the cancellations, like telephone calls and cab fare. Mr. Burrick and Mike Malkin, another student suing the agency, also filed a complaint with the Consumer Frauds division of the Buffalo Attorney General’s Office, which is investigating the possibility of prosecuting Travel Power. A decision on Mr. Malkin’s suit is expected to be made this afternoon in Small Claims Court. Travel Power did not answer the charges made against it in court. The decision in Mr. Burrick’s favor, made through an arbitrator, was by default Its not too late for others to file, Mr. Burrick reported. The Small Claims Court is the logical outlet for all consumers who believe they were victimized by fraud, he added. Door in the face Mr. Burrick said that when he called on Travel Power campus representative Alan Rosenberg to collect his award, Mr. Rosenberg told Mr. Burrick to contact the agency’s New York office. The agency’s cancellation of two charter flights on the Thursday night before the long Thanksgiving weekend forced more than 150 students to find a last-minute way of getting home. Prior to the cancellation of the two flights, several students told an agency representative who had flown to Buffalo from New York that they were angered that Travel Power had already reneged on more than one agreement to fly students to New York City at lower prices and accused MOVIES ARE funded by Mandatory Student Act.

If the victim is going to kick the attacker, she should kick with the heel, so as not to lose balance, and aim for his knees, shins, or instep. If preparing to physically resist, the victim should intend to hurt the attacker as best she can, and once he is distracted, to quickly flee. More simple precautionary measures can be taken to prevent an attack. Walking home late at night, a near set-up for a rapist, has been avoided in some areas by women who form car pools.

Op. 44, No. 1 Five committees of the Western New York Peace Center presented their plans for maintaining world peace Saturday to Peace Center members and supporters at the Riverside Salem Church. Their suggestions included pressuring Congress to cut all funds going to the Chilean and South Vietnamese regimes and slash the military budget to free funds for badly needed social services. According to figures compiled by the Library of Congress Legislative Reference Service, 59 percent CHARLES ROSEN, pianist Thursday, Jan. 30 of the 1975 fiscal year budget is earmarked for the military. Nineteen percent of this money will be used to pay for past wars, although none has gone towards helping to rebuild the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), which has suffered tremendous destruction from American bombing. performing Three Sonatas by Scarlatti: Meager social services in contrast, only 21 percent is “Don Juan Remin- veterans Beethoven's Oiabelli Variations and Liszt’s iscences.” Mary Setou Room Kleinhans — 8.30 P.M. earmarked for education and health, 6 percent of which is for benefits. Physical such as agriculture, resources, rural development, natural resources, transportation, and housing, has been allotted a relatively scant nine percent. Social Security and Retirement benefits are financed from separate funds specifically set aside for these purposes. According to SANE (A Citizens’ Organization for a Sane World), the average American family will spend $2200 in general taxes on military-related programs during fiscal Year 1975, based upon budget figures from the Library of Congress and population figures from the Bureau of the Census. Some observers feel that a large military budget is needed to offset large amounts of Soviet and Chinese aid to underdeveloped countries. At the same time, however, $186 will be spent on education and manpower, $96 for community development and housing, and $62 per cent for natural resources. With more than 40 American military commitments to other countries and 2000-plus bases and installations around the world, hard-working tax-payers are forced to finance undemocratic governments in other countries. Political prisoners Most recently, President Ford has asked for an increase in the amount of aid to the Thieu regime in South Vietnam. Peace organizations, like the Indochina Peace Campaign and Amnesty International estimate that 200,000 political prisoners are still held in jails and concentration camps in South Vietnam. Although the Paris Peace Agreements of 1973 call for all parties to refrain from imposing “any political tendency or personality on the people of South Vietnam,” the United States government continues to support one faction in that year in Indochina. Although Congress cut all military aid to Chile in December because of public outrage at reports of torture by the ruling junta, American tax dollars are still going to Chile under non-military agreements.

During the past few years, the mandatory fee has come under fire, mostly on political grounds. Many students seem visibly especially those in the Student Assembly annoyed that their money has been spent mostly at the discretion of a handful of student government officers who seem to have become increasingly isolated from student priorities. — — But what is immediately at stake in the upcoming referendum is not how to make student government more representative, but whether students feel that the mandatory flaws and all is essential for maintaining the current fee level ofactivities and services on this campus? — — Regardless of how one may think he has been forced to subsidize activities that he or she has no interest in, or voice in financing, mandatory fees are virtually the sole means of support for countless services that students have learned to take for granted. Health Care, intramural sports, movies, concerts, publications and legal aid are just a few of the things that could disappear in a second if the mandatory fee is voted down. This was originally conceived of as a bright witty column about what it is like to drive a small old Volkswagen in the days of more high powered and energetic vehicles. It may still turn out that way but it is hard to be quite as funny as I might have been if the damned thing had started this morning. I mean I understand that the battery, or the electrical system, or some thing, has not been functioning superbly and that it has usually required a slight boost from somebody else’s battery to get it started in the morning, but this morning it wouldn’t play at all. Turned over a lot if it got tickled with a shot from somebody else’s 12 volt this is a six volt system, is how old it is but it refused to start. Sputtered a couple of times but that’s it. Now then, I do not know how you feel about machinery that does not work, but it drives me bananas. At least sometimes. If I have my shit together and am not being freaky, then things are somewhat more calm. When I am feeling impinged . .. . . . on, surrounded and anxious about being dependent, and my car chooses that moment to decide to leave me at the tender mercies of other people, I get disturbed. When sufficiently disturbed I become somewhat wierd, lose my temper and generally carry on in a disgraceful fashion. Which I will acknowledge sometimes afterwards . . . how long afterwards being another wonderful question. So, when last seen the VW that was to be the star of this column was sitting in front of the garage door which was frozen last night hard enough that I decided not to chip it open and put the car away. Dumb, Eric, very very dumb. This is one of those times when it would be nice to believe that cars could feel, that said dumb car was freezing its tail lights off and would be only too happy to start when 1 next try the key. Would anyone like to give me a few odds about it doing so? No? Wise decision I am — — afraid. At first glance, a voluntary fee seems like a more attractive way of collecting student funds, since those who oppose a fee politically or in principle would not be forced to pay it. In particular, some of the University's more vocal minority students have argued that they should not be forced to pay $67 that is dispersed by a white Student Association and subsidizes white-oriented activities. While this is a valid argument, it is also true that there are many services health care, CAC, NYRIRG, and legal aid which clearly transcend ethnic interests, just as there are many services that mandatory fee opponents inadvertently use anyway. The everyday taxpayer certainly does not get back a 1:1 return for every tax — — tf(£)ar,'but he does derive oeitalirtienefits from plying them. Additionally, a voluntary fee would have little if any chance of Anyway, about what it is like to drive this ten year old Volkswagen . . when it is possible to drive it, that is. It slowly penetrates that there are a variety of adjustments one has to make to the machine. It will do sixty on a long downgrade so that one uses the right hand with a tailwind lane a lot and tries to not get caught by a bunch of passing freaks who are so busy going by you on the right that you can’t get out of the left lane even though you would very much like to. On the other hand it is very hard to get a speeding ticket on most of the open highways in the vicinity since the speed limit of 55 just about matches that of the car. Equally obvious in'terms of limited power is that it is very hard to accelerate by anyone. You pjpke along at pace most of the time, although second gear giW$ ypu a pretty nice burst if you get it revved 0p Well enough. And you pretty ... ... much have to give up trying to deal with the people who are into leaving tire marks at intersections as they turn the local street system into the Indy 500 somewhere in their heads. Unless of course you run across a twelve-year old VW at a traffic light, which may or may not be a vulnerable and venerable as yours. Then there is the problem of hills. This particular car is obviously much more into level places than it is into hills. More specifically, it seems to tolerate and even enjoy going down hills, but going up them is a completely different problem. Went across to Niagara on the Lake to watch the seagulls a while back. Winding down the gorge was fine, climbing back up to the bridge was a rather different experience. One which seems to force you to deal with time in a different way, as do many of the other occurances described above. (Watch it, here comes the philosophy!) You do not have a lot of choice about what to do with trying to hurry in this particular car. You can forget it or get an ulcer. It is more or less that simple. It maneuvers well enough . . . when it is so that you can try running to pick up a few seconds here I and there on cutting corners and sheer brilliant driving, but generally it doesn’t work. So ... ™ llllinw to accept the either you learn silly thing the way it is and you watch the trees some while sort of accelerating away ■ — by — Sleese from lights, and you generally learn to accept the fallibilities of machine and man somewhat more gracefully. There seem to be some limits as to how gracefully some of us can accept anything, so that there seems to be no sense in running the idea into a rut. One thing that disturbs me yet is a tendency on the part of some of my fellow motorists to confuse a ten year old VW with a motorcycle. This is evidenced by a notable tendency to put their large expensive car in the same space already occupied by your small cheap car. The only problem being that law of physics which insists that two bodies can’t occupy the same space at the same time. VW’s may move around pretty good, but this particular model does not have the capacity for going straight up. And then when you honk they look annoyed because you didn’t tell them that they shouldn’t have done what you didn’t know they were going to do until they did it, earlier. (It makes sense if you read it several times slowly I think). If the silly thing ever runs again 1 am considering putting a diesel air horn capable of removing paint from offending cars at a range of 200 yards. If. Excuse me while 1 go tinker.

If the mandatory fee is retained, SA should continue its attempts to open up the budget-disbursing process to greater numbers of students, as was done when itdistrubuted asurvey on intercollegiate athletics/at the end of last semester. Realistically speaking, however, the current structure of student government and widespread student apathy have not made things conducive for this kind of change, and it is possible that things will remain the same for some time. But despite these shortcomings, most students should realize that they are benefitting from mandatory fees every single day, whether they know it or not. What logical reason is there for turning off the tap now? The Spectrum An end to loneliness To the Editor paper for me. Maybe someone will see by situation as it really is, and take a few moments to write. I I hope you will forgive me for taking up your valuable time. 1 also hope you will think my cause is worthwhile. I have a very serious problem, a problem that is common to most men in correctional institutions, such as myself. Loneliness is something everyone has probably experienced sometime in their life. I have felt the pain of loneliness several times, but never until I was locked up did I know the real agony of loneliness. Every morning I open my eyes to something close to darkness. It is hard to explain the sadness and frustration that I am being exposed to, but believe me, it is indeed a very emotional up-ending state. I imagine by now you are dumb-founded as to why I am writing you this letter; therefore, I will explain. I’m hoping that you can place an ad in your believe corresponding with someone understanding, thoughtful, realistic, and sincere will be a big help to me. I am a 21 year old Black male seeking someone understanding, thoughtful, sincere, realistic, and receptive. I sincerely need and want someone to correspond with.

It was like a dream! The basketball Bulls had won three in a row and were on T the verge of upsetting local power Canisius. But with 22 seconds remaining, Mel Montgomery scored a three point play for the Griffins and gav6 them a one point lead. Mike Jones’ jumper missed and despite Otis Home’s valiant struggle for the rebound,-Buffalo was unable to get off another shot and Canisius salvaged a 75—74 victory. The Bulls now stand at 4—9. “We proved that we belong,” said Buffalo coach Leo Richardson. “We convinced people. Our group of kids finally realized their own potential.” But the Bulls’ play was inconsistent. They gave a demonstration of sleepwalking in the first half and fell behind by 17 points. “We weren’t ready,” remarked Richardson. “We were too tight. I told them all we needed to do is play defense and run the offense. That’s what they did.” Bob Dickinson exploded hitting 9 for 9 in the second half (continuing the phenomenal shooting spree in which he has hit 32 of his last 48 shots). “Dicks” jumper from the left corner his favority shot put Buffalo ahead for the first time with 7:20 remaining..

The way they play, a halftime lead doesn’t mean anything. They had the momentum.” Buffalo was urged on by the frantic crowd and the ever-growing team spirit, but the Bulls were also fuming from being slighted in the game’s program. The Canisius roster was printed in large type and filled an enture page, while Buffalo’s, in small type, filled only half a page and was placed above pictures of the Buffalo State and Canisius women’s teams. The only picture of a Buffalo player was that of Gary Domzalski, and it appeared elsewhere in the program. “I threw the program away,” said Richardson. “I asked Gary if he wanted one because of the picture, and he told me ‘Put them in the waste basket.’ They treat us like second class citizens,” continued Richardson. “I’m used to that. But 1 want better for the kids.” Buffalo is a young team, and they figure to improve. “They (Canisius) saw that they’ve got one more year to beat us, if that,” concluded Richardson. — — While the Hockey Bulls coasted to two easy victories over Lake Forest this weekend, Buffalo's loyal fan Bill Rosenthal (pictured above) added insult to injury as he launched a spectacular verbal attack on the Forester bench. His seemingly endless stream of caustic remarks, which delighted some fans and disgusted others, brought on threats of bodily harm from some lake Forest players. Rosenthal, who attends nearly every home hockey contest, was eventually ejected by referee Paul Duffy and escorted from the rink by Cheektowaga police.

I’ve learned that you don’t have to throw a game to win a man,” O’Neill said. Unlike many amateur athletic programs, the women’s program at Buffalo cannot be criticized for a “winning is everything” attitude. “We like to win, but it’s not the most important thing. The benefits of being on a team are more important,” O’Neill . . . emphasized. These include getting to know your own body, to know that it’s strong, that you have control over it, and becoming comfortable with your own body.” O’Neill thinks that Title IX will force an official policy change. “There will be change, unless they find loopholes, but they’ll change begrudgingly,” she said. But she feels that sports still have a long way to go. “People’s attitudes towards sports and women with strong bodies will have to change,” O’Neill declared. “ Vie dnesday, 22 January 1975 .

Oswego. 1. 4. 17 and 18, vs. Lake Forest 2 — Grappler weekend tally: 3:1 by Lynn Everard Staff Writer The wrestling Bulls, ranked first in New York State, completed a successful weekend road trip, winning three of four matches. After whipping Oswego Friday night; 36-2, the Bulls traveled Saturday to College Park, Maryland where they defeated a tough Maryland squad, 21-15, trounced Massachusetts, 37-0, and suffered their first loss in eleven starts to Navy, 27-6. Navy consistently produces highly ranked teams and this year is no exception. Only Jim Young and Emad Faddoul beat the midshipmen. Young, still undefeated this year, summed up the team’s feelings after their first loss. “Our loss to Navy was a big disappointment for us. We worked very hard for that match. The University of Buffalo wrestlers have lost, but they have not lost their spirit and we will remain among the elite in the East,” he declared. Navy’s tough heavyweight Jeff Simons, received a forfeit against the Bulls. Coach Ed Michael explained why his heavyweight, Charlie Wright, didn’t wrestle. “The match was already out of reach. Charlie hurt his thumb against Oswego and the Maryland match was coming up. I didn’t want to risk him.” Spectrum Michael’s strategy proved to be correct. Maryland stayed close through the entire match. Coming down to the final match with the Bulls leading 18-15, Charlie Wright once more played the role of “Giant killer,;’ decisioning Maryland’s Bill Ellis who weighted in at 350 lbs. Ellis got the early takedown, but Wright escaped twice and won on riding time. The story of David and Goliath has been reenacted by Wright on four separate occasions this year. For the third time this season, Ron Parker faced a former national champion. Navy’s Dan Muthler eventually decisioned the improving Sophomore. If wrestling national champions makes one a better wrestler, Parker should soon be a great. Against Massachusetts, the Bulls got outstanding performances from A1 Nichols at 177 and 142 pounder Tom Lloyd-Jones. Nichols pinned Mass.’s Bob Spaulding just one second before the buzzer would have ended the period. In what looked like an even bout. Jones pinned A1 Elmont suddenly in the second period. The Oswego match was highlighted by pins from Mack Sams and Jim Young. Sams looked impressive with only two weeks of practice under his belt. to Binghamton to Next weekend Buffalo face the No. 2 team in the state. the bench Basketball Co-Captain Bob Dickinson, shown here, came off amazing 10 for 12. shooting an points, score 20 against Colgate to Against Army, the senior forward contributed eight consecutive points Army's to put the Bulls ahead, and later made a key steal to thwart comeback attempt in overtime.

The Committee had recommended that nine of the existing Colleges be chartered unconditionally for periods ranging from three to five years. The Committee had also requested that two of these Cora P. Maloney Colleges (formally College E) and Urban Studies be subject to a “limited review” after 18 months, and that charters be granted to Clifford Furnas College and Women’s Studies College for periods of three and five years, respectively, only if they fulfill certain - - requirements. Clifford Furnas must agree to participate in the Colleges Council, while Women’s Studies must abandon its policy of excluding men from both its governance and some of its courses and activities, and must clarify its use of the word “women” in its charter. Three-year terms Dr. Ketter did approve ten charters with various provisions, along with one unconditional charter to College B. He granted nine three-year charters and two for two years each, to Social Sciences College and Tolstoy College. Additionally, Dr. Ketter stipulated for nine of the charters that there be either partial or total review of the respective College programs after 18 months, and for Social Sciences and Tolstoy, after one year. In accordance with Chartering Committee recommendations, he ruled that Cora P. Maloney College and Urban Studies College be subject tb careful monitoring by the Dean of the Colleges, and that Progressive Education College be denied a charter altogether. In addition, Tolstoy College must make its charter a more “academic document” in order to be approved, Dr. Ketter ruled. The Women’s Sureties College charter was approved on the condition that it be revised to indicate whether “woman” and “women” are used as generic or exclusive terms, and that it expressly adopt the principles of academic freedom and equality of access to courses, demonstrate compliance with these provisions, and be reviewed formally for compliance after 18 months. Lacks leadership Indicative of the tone of Dr. Ketter’s report was his appraisal of Rachel Carson College, which he said “gives evidence of acceptable academic content. It has a clearly stated objective,' its community projects have been useful, and its longer term plans seem informed." However, the report went on “It lacks strength in its leadership with two program coordinators. It should seek more participation by faculty members in the sciences, and should stress the critical importance of basic science preparation of its students. Its organized to provide remedial and residential program is new and not supportive services to minority and non-traditional students at well established.” At the Committee open the University. At its open hearing hearing for the College, it was before the Chartering Committee, learned that one of the two the College leadership was asked if program coordinators, John it would make an effort to recruit Howell, would leave the students from all parts of the University at the end of the University and of all ethnic school year. The other program persuasions. “There’s no intention here to coordinator, Beverly Paigen, said a third world residential sponsor would herself to she not commit long term leadership because, program,” College Director Frank unless more funds were given to Brown assured the hearing. Dr. Ketter expressed concern the Colleges, “no faculty member that Social Sciences, Tolstoy, and wants to join what might be a Women’s Studies College take sinking ship.” About Cora P. Maloney special pains to ensure that the College, Dr. Ketter said in part, “I academic freedom “to which this remain concerned about the risk University is committed” be of de facto segregation of the preserved. He voiced a “profound College’s students in the residence halls. This aspect of the proposed personal concern’’ that program must be monitored “educational units committed to the exposition of a given carefully.” —continued on page 14— Cora P. Maloney College was ‘Childhood Center’ Day Care stays open with academic funds by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor After four , months of protests and negotiations, the Day Care Center has secured funds to remain open for the entire semester.

Day Care officials called a press conference on January 9 at 11 a.m. But when they went to the Center that morning they discovered that locks had been changed overnight and they were not allowed inside. That same morning, Dr. Ketter called a press conference for 10:30 a.m. He had planned to have a press conference later that day, “but when we found out they were having one at 11 we decided to have one at 10:30 for the convenience of the press,” Dr. Ketter told the Buffalo Evening News. He said the locks were changed “on my explicit direction after an impasse was reached in negotiations on the Day Care issue.” Day Care officials subsequently Commenting on the. fact that only three of the original staff have been asked to stay on. Ms. Paskoff said, “At a time of high unemployment they laid off people and hired people with no seniority.

This makes Young the first Buffalo athlete to be drafted by professional sports since Joe Piscotty was taken by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1973.

Soccer Coach Sal Esposito reports that while the pro soccer league does not pay enough to support someone. Young might be able to combine it with a teaching and/or coaching position. ?AM0N IN A< "lATlON Wtl Amherst bubble to provide temporary recreation facility by Bruce Engel Sports Editor It does not come as news to anyone who lives or has classes on the Amherst Campus that the long awaited recreation Bubble is now a reality.

Suburban commuters can drive to these designated locations where parking spaces will be more readily available, and catch the bus to campus. The Commuter Council hopes to tie in its efforts with those of commuter organizations at Buffalo State and other local colleges. ,lf fares are reduced for riders to this University, it is hoped, they will eventually also be reduced to those o-ther campuses as well. by Jenny Cheng Contributing Editor The Mass Transit sub-group of the University’s Commuter Council is negotiating with the Niagara Frontier Transit Authority (NFTA) to establish a special student rate that would reduce the one way bus fare from 40 cents to 25 cents. The NFTA, which has been losing riders since last June, has responded enthusiastically to the student proposal, which users would implement by presenting their student identification as they boarded buses. Before any program can be finalized, however, there will be a demonstration period during which the NFTA will permit students to ride the buses at the reduced fare, to determine the impact of the change. If bus ridership increases sufficiently, the NFTA will then adopt the reduced rate permanently. More coordination The Commuter Council is having difficulties in coordinating such efforts, though, and still seeks support from faculty and graduate students. The Committee is presently compiling statistics to present to the NFTA, estimating the number of students interested in the reduced fare, and charting the locations of their homes, the Suburban commuter routes they would use, and the reduced fare will “The schedule that would be the hopefully attract suburban time most useful to them. commuters who now go to and from campus by car, and encourage them to ride the PSYCHOMAT funded by buses,” explained Pat Lovejoy of Mandatory Student Activity the Commuter Council.” This will Fees, vote to retain this fee Feb. not only help clear up the parking 5,6,7. problem, but will also ease the traffic situation.” Set price Although a student who sells a used book is permitted to set the price, the average rate is 50 percent of the original selling price, Mr. Lalonde explained.

Monday, 20 January 1975 & Sat �Ma Bell fighting rip-offs with increases in monitor in by Neil Klotz Special to The Spectrum A host of campus phone phreaks with fake credit card numbers and electronic gadgets has provoked a full-scale counter-insurgency program by phone company officials. Across the country. Bell system affiliates have launched ad campaigns, speaking tours and media blitzes with the common message: “If you cheat Bell, you’ll be caught.” “Ninety percent of our fraud begins on campus,” claimed a security supervisory for the Chesapeake and Potomac (C&P) Telephone Co. in West Virginia Who has been visiting schools around the state to warn of toll fraud penalties. At West Virginia University in Morgantown alone, he said, 75 disputed calls are under investigation. Meanwhile, across the country, a Mountain Bell representative was announcing that 15 New Mexico State University students had been implicated in fraudulently charging more than $6,000 in long distance calls. Mountain Bell convinced the offenders to pay up instead of prosecuting because “people might say we’re picking on college students.” But at Washington University in St. Louis, students decided to investigate Southwestern Bell’s investigator. They found that the phone agent was monitoring long distance calls from private phones in an effort to catch phony credit card users. When Confronted, the agent refused to say if he was randomly monitoring all calls or using other kinds of taps because it would give violators “more fuel.” “If they [students] have done nothing wrong, they have nothing to fear,” said the agent. “But if they are doing something wrong, they had better be scared. You never know how much we know.” Fewer losses The crash anti-fraud program has had some effect. According to the AT&T national office, the dollar loss from phony credit card calls the most common type of fraud has dropped from S28.3 million in 1973. The company had no idea how much was being lost through electronic devices which simulate operators’ signals. Most of Bell's anti-phreak publicity emphasized (1) the harsh penalties for toll fraud and (2) mysterious, sophisticated electronic gadgets and computers that make it virtual suicide tp cheat the phone company. No one has disputed the first contention. The federal “fraud by wire” act (18 US 1343) stipulates violators may be fined as much as SI ,000 and jailed up to five years. In addition, individual state laws deal with toll fraud in varying degrees of severity. Fdr instance, in Wyoming a phone phreak can be fined as much as SI00 and jailed for 60 days, but in Pennsylvania the same offense could land him in prijon for seven — - years with a fine of $ 15,000 Fifteen states have also made it illegal to publish information on how to rip off the phone company, a law not yet tested against the First Amendment in federal court. The Bell system itself may legally use almost any method to catch defrauders. Federal law does, however, restrict random monitoring of calls to "mechanical or service quality checks." Despite this. AT&T affiliates do secretly monitor about 3.5 million private phone calls a year, according to the Wall Street Journal. On the pretext of checking operator efficiency, said the Journal the world’s richest corporation can actually listen in on any calls it wants to. calls when there is already reason to believe fraud is being committed, he said, but he declined to say how it otherwise gathered information about defrauders. “That would be giving you the key to the safe,” he said. Some of the “keys” were discovered by Joe “the Whistler” Engressia, who was hired by an independent phone company in Tennessee after his college days. He found the atmosphere “oppressive,” however, and now works as phone supervisor for a correspondence school. Joe provided the following rundown of the latest toll fraud detection and prevention schemes: Against phony credit cards: Previous phone credit card codes have been very simple. Almost before the code was released each year one operator or another leaked it to the underground press. So Bell’s only defense was to require operators to ask credit card users a few simple questions about their “firm” and hope that would scare them off. Either this year or next Bell plans to introduce a complex code that only a computer could decipher. The operators would have to clear each credit card call with the main computer before letting it go through. Against “blue boxes”: Blue box users must dial a toll free number with an 800- area code or long distance information (area code) 555-1212, before boxing a 2600 cycles per second tone. This allows them to then bleep out any long distance number they want. Computers in many telephone billing offices now call attention to excessively long 800- or long distance info calls. Next Bell puts a filter on a suspected blue boxer’s line that records every time a 2600 Hz. tone occurs on the line. Against “red boxes": Red boxes duplicate the electronic sounds coins dropped in a pay phones produce. Bell has begun training operators to listen for fake tones. In addition, when an operator tries to manually collect or return coins, a light will show if they’re present. Red box users are usually caught when they have a “favorite” phone booth. Against “black boxes”: Black boxes, also known as “mutes,” lower the electrical resistance on a phone line to a point where phone company billing equipment isn't triggered when one receives a long distance call. Mqst Bell central offices with an Electronic Switching System (ESS) can detect voice currents on a line that is not billing and cut off an incoming call to one’s line if the computers don’t show he answered. If that happens often, they check the phone. Against loose lips: Big mouths have been the death of most phone phreaks. And when one is busted, phone agents will often capture his notebook containing the numbers of other phreaks. “I avoided detection for so long because I kept everything in my head,” Joe recalled. Joe said he hasn’t done any phreaking for four years, partially because he never really wanted to injure thy phone company. “1 was only doing it to learn enough to j;et a Bell system job when I graduated,” he said. “But by the time I did Bell considered me a security risk.” , No clues Not security company claims an AT&T spokesman.

Mr. Grigge estimated national budget of many African states combined, pointed out writer Felix Greene. Kwama Nkrumah, former President of Ghana, wrote in Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism that at least 18 African countries, including Chad, Ethiopia, Mali and Niger had an average annual income of less than $80 dollars in the early I960’s, which was prior to the current drought and famine. While the situation appears nearly hopeless, there are indications that solutions are possible. Scientists working in conjunction with the United Nations Environmental Program suggest that nature is not wholly responsible for this catastrophy. They claim that with proper irrigation and well digging, life could be sustained. Yet with such low national incomes, lew of these countries could pay for the needed construction. , Exploitation by foreigners Mr. Nkrumah maintained that the poverty ol the African nations is not a result of poor natural conditions, but is due largely to economic exploitation by private industrialized nations In Science in Our Lives.

Many wells have dried up, pastures are barren, and “farmers watch their unwatered fields blow away With malnutrition rampant and thousands dead from starvation, Mr. Vicker reported that “people are eating the seeds that might have been next year’s crop.” A cattle owner from a local tribe described how his cattle died because of lack of water. “We had to drive the animals for 20 kilometers from water to find food for them."

Because of the destruction of people, land, and livestock, hundreds of thousands have tied to the cities in search of relief, Mr. Griggs recounted the grim and almost unbelievable acts of food-hunting by these desparate people: “They tear down giant hills to get at grains of rice the ants have hidden away, then eat the ants as well. Others in parts of Chad ravenously devour bark off trees, wolf down leaves and dig desparately at roots." Sickness is rampant Thousands are so weakened by malnutrition, and- ravaging diseases, that simple colds kill many people in the area of the world where life expectancy averages less than 40 years.

While Sangaule Lamizana, nter national Wildlife President of Upper Volta said “this [the drought) is_ the continent’s greatest catastrophe of the century,” the Eord Administration and mass-n/ledia have almost completely ignored the situation. Some critics of the present administration charge that the lack of action in this situation is an example of institutionalized racism, since this catastrophe has struck black people exclusively. There have been some relief efforts by community organizations, though they have not received much publicity. The West Africa Emergency Relief, of the Community of Churches of America, is collecting money for emergency aid. Water for West Africa Relief, of World Mercy, Inc. is collecting money to dig wells and construct water pipelines. 1971 rally Protestors receive damages Twelve million dollars in damages was awarded to the American Civil Liberties Union Thursday by a District of Columbia jury for what it said was the false arrest and infringement of rights of 1,200 antiwar demonstrators on the steps of the Capitol in 1971. The suit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia resulted in what was thought to be the largest award ever in a civil liberties suit. An appeal is expected. As a result of the verdict, each of the demonstrators mostly college students at the time is entitled to an average award of at least $10,000. The amount varies depending on th« length of — — confinement. The suit originated from a police action May 5, 1971, when police moved in and arrested 1,200 antiwar protestors who refused to move along as requested. About 3000 protestors had been invited to the capitol by Democratic Representatives Ronald V. Dellums of California and Bella Abzug of New Yorkk. Right on The judgement entitles each of the complainants to $7,500 for violation of First Amendment rights, $500 for treatment labeled “cruel and unusual punishment” violating the Eighth Amendment, $50 each for malicious prosecution, and a refund of $10 collateral at the time. The government gave the ACLU the names and addresses of those arrested, which are being kept under lock and key. The union must now find those who were arrested. Many are scattered or have changed addresses. posted as Monday, 20 January 1975 The Spectrum .

Miller Staff Writer Spectrum An early morning fire Jan. 4 destroyed most of the interior of the new Chabad House at 185 Maple Rd., Amherst, marring the first alumni reunion, scheduled for that weekend. All the occupants of the house, most of whom are married couples and their young children, escaped without injury. The building had just opened last fall. The fire began in the kitchen about 4 a.m., police said. Although food had been left on the stove, the fire marshal ruled this was not the cause of the blaze. An investigation is underway to determine the cause. Curiously, the food remained intact, but much of the massive industrial kitchen equipment melted. Rabbi Nosan Gurary, Chabad administrator, estimated the damage to the interior at more than S30,000. Included in this figure are many new home furnishings, silverware and goblets, and paper goods in storage. Up in smoke A number of religious articles were also lost, including daily prayer books, prayer shawls, philacteries, and library materials from the Main St. house, which had been collected over a four-year period and brought to the building for the reunion. were The Torahs sacred religious scrolls - - rescued from the fire by Rabbi Gurary’s father, however. Exterior damage is estimated at $69,000, and insurance will cover only part of this total. It will cover none of the damage to the interior, according to Arthur Burke, a member of “Friends of Chabad.” It is not yet known whether the building will be repaired or rebuilt. The bricks remain, and a future appraisal will determine if it is safe to rebuild on the same site. Reunion ended The fire interrupted the first reunion of faculty and students of Chabad during its four-year existence here. People had come from all over the country, and it was a “terrible thing for them to see everything go up in smoke.” said Mark Epstein, a reunion participant. Some personal possessions, like items received as wedding gifts, are irreplaceable, he added. The Red Cross has provided clothing vouchers and food to Chabad occupants to ease their immediate needs. “Classes, rap sessions, and services will go on as before, if not stronger,” Rabbi Gurary stressed. Services for the Amherst Campus will be held in Fargo 204 L, a lounge. Meanwhile, funds are being sought to rebuild and refurnish the new Chabad House. Donations can be sent to 3292 Main St. Checks may be made out to the “Rebuilding Chabad Fund.” The American Council on Education has revealed in its survey of this year’s college freshman a marked trend ot conservatism involving such issues as the legalization ol marijuana and equal employment opportunity for women. The report also cites a 15 percent decline in the enrollment of black students since the peak figure in 1972. The Council, which based its report on the responses of 190,000 freshman at 364 colleges and universities, found that 46.7 percent of the freshman advocated the legalization of marijuana, down from 48.2 in 1973. Alexander W, Astin, the survey’s director, called this response startling since it reverses a six-year trend. Political viewpoints have apparently shifted, according to the report. Those who label themselves “liberal” have dropped from 32.6 to 28 percent from last year while students who classify themselves as “middle-of-theroaders" rose from 50.7 to 55.1 percent, the highest in the history of the nine-year survey. “Conservative” students remained at 13.9 percent. Dr. Astin was surprised at the “changes of political attitudes,” and said the view on marijuana posed “a clear reversal of a very sharp trend.” Other changes College freshman have slightly hardened in their attitudes towards equal employment for women. 91.5 percent favored equal employment compared to 91.9 percent ip 1973. The number of reshman who feel women should be confined to home registered its smallest drop in three years. 29.8 percent agreed with this condition, a .6 percent difference from the 1973 figure of 30.4 percent. Other trends included a decline in the number of students advocating consumer rights (from 78 to 75.1 percent), attenempts to curb pollution (from 88,1 to 82.6 percent) while those who believed there are too many rights for criminals jumped from 50.1 to 51.5 percent. The only so-called “liberal" trend noticed was an increase of students favoring open admission up five percent from 1973. - Explaining the declining black enrollment, Dr. Astin observed that "the vigorous effort to recruit black students which resulted in the increases observed during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s have simply not been sustained during the past few years.” The report showed a decline of 8.7 percent in 1972 and 7.4 percent in 1974. There are presently 124,000 blacks enrolled in colleges today, said Dr. Astin. This year’s freshman has also changed in regard to career attitudes. Interest in the legal and medical professions has dropped slightly while the humanities, English, mathematics, history and political science continue to decline in popularity. A scant 7.7 percent reported they were interested in teaching, down from a high of 21.7 percent in 1966. Still popular are majors in nursing, business, farming and applied biological sciences. One "first” in the survey showed a decline in the number of students who felt that finances were of “major concern” to them and an increase in those who said “no concern.” One reason for this trend could be attributed to the enactment of Federal Basic Educational Opportunity Grants, which were received by one quarter of the 1974 freshman class.

(CPS) Kanawha County is VA. notorious in certain circles these days as the place where books are burned, buses bombed and coal mines shut down in the name of The Bible and The Flag. These outbursts were triggered by the school baord’s adoption of about 300 English books for the 45,000 students in county schools. On one side of the confrontation, a majority of county residents believe there is something valid in the remarks of Mrs. Alice Moore, a conservative school baord member who feels all of the books contain some selections that are “vulgar, profane, violent, critical of - — parents, depressing, seditious, revolutionary. anti-Christian and immoral.” On the other side, the professional educators and the liberal segment of the local middle class believe in the prerogatives of professionals, especially in education. They also fear the style and impulsiveness of the protesters whom they see as distinctly inferior to themselves. The issues raised by the textbooks are not simple ones. Liberal advocates of community-controlled education feel betrayed by what they see as a reactionary twist given their sound principle. Conservatives, for their part, were stunned by the militant tactics of the protesting parents who closed mine after mine, in �ICO COLLEG county after county during September and part of October. Violate beliefs The protesters, who are primarily ordinary, hard-working, level-headed parents, feel the values portrayed in the books violate their belief in the sanctity of the home and family, the existence of God and patriotism. They argue that authors such as Eldridge Cleaver,' Allen Ginsberg, Gwendolyn Brooks, e.e. cummings, Germaine Greer and Sigmund Freud represent an alien and threatening system of values. Their perceptions are accurate in many ways. The new language arts series were chosen in accord with a 1970 state board of education CORRECTIONS OF REPORTER ERRORS VIC 353 (Also ENG 353) ORIG.

Although the literature of blacks, European ethnics and alientated urbanities found its way into the textbooks, many protesters felt it came at their expense. Few selections relate to Appalachian people (ehher white or black), working people, coal miners or fundamentalist protestants. If there had been parity, the protest probably would not have tapped the well of emoiional intensity which fueled the movement for four months. — VIC 102 HOL (Also HIS 142) CULTURE OF SCIENCE Prof. Hollinger Th 1-2:50 Amh-MFAC 327 Regn.No. 488111 VIC 102 STI (Also HIS 144) RENAISSANCE FLORENCE Prof. Stinger Th 2:30-4:20 Amh-MFAC 337 Reg.

November. Rather than continue the school boycott, the leaders of the protests chose to establish an alternative school system in the county. About a dozen schools were set up in churches and community centers, but the long-run survival of this system is doubtful. There has even been some political talk about the eastern end of the county where the protest sentiment runs deepest seceding from the “imperious rule of the Charleston establishment.” — — Second Scopes trial The sense of exclusion and mistreatment felt by the protesters when they read through their children’s books was heightened when they watched nightly network television broadcasts and read the daily coverage in the local media. The national media saw the protest as a second Scopes trial, complete with “women in hair rollers and men in bib overalls” who have “old wringer washers on the front porch and drive battered pickup trucks.” They portrayed the protesters as half-literate mutants of the Angles and the Saxons, able to read the Bible but stumped by two syllable traffic signs. This image of the protesters is as inaccurate as the stereotypes of lazy blacks, dumb Poles, greasy Mexicans, effete WASPS and domesticated women. Appalachian people, however, have failed to use the pressure politics with which other minorities have policed the media. The anti-book protest is now going the same route traveled by black community-control groups and free-school whites who pieced together parallel school systems in the late 1960’s. Attention will undoubtedly turn to the public school system once again this spring when new Kanawha social studies texts are up for adoption. “If you think this was something,” one county school administrator said, referring to the language arts books, “wait until we get into social studies. That will be a humdinger.” If nothing is learned from the last four months, he will, of course, be right. Undergraduate Research Grants are available for the spring semester. Application can be picked up in 205 Norton and must be turned in by January 30. Monday, 20 January 1975 . The Spectrum .

Picture yourself huddled around a warm fire, meeting new people and playing an occasional game of pool or ping pong. This idea could become a reality if the Schussmeisters Ski Club completes its plans to build a ski lodge for its members on a parcel of densely wooded land it purchased in Vermont.

Almost three quarters of this group said they would assist in the maintenance of the lodge, such as dishwashing, table setting, and linen collection. Unfortunately, “things have not been running too smoothly,” according to James McKee, business manager of the Ski Club. The project had previously been financed by small surpluses in the club’s budget. Mr. McKee explained that when Student Association (SA) cut the Ski Club’s budget, this money was no longer available.

I HAVE MY BOYS LOOKING INTO YOUK CASE Outside Looking In " —University President Robert Ketter, in his report on the Chartering of the Colleges By expressing the above "profound personal concern" for three of the Colleges he approved Social Sciences, Tolstoy and Women's Studies Dr. Ketter has ignored the fact that the Colleges were origially conceived to further academic freedom at an institution that offered few if any alternatives to traditional education. The absence of conspicuous labels like "marxist" or "feminist" from the programs in many departments does not make them any less "committed to the exposition of a given philosophy," or any more "sensitive to matters of academic freedom." In fact, it was the University-at-large's particular insensitivity to academic freedom that created an atmosphere in which Colleges could serve a valuable function. — — .

Less than one year ago, former Academic vice-president Bernard Gelbaum decided not to renew the contract of Philosophy professor James Lawler an avowed Marxist and a member of the Faculty 45 arrested during the 1970 student demonstrations. This occurred despite the official endorsements of the Philosophy Department and Faculty of Social Sciences, and strong recommendations of students. Only a massive letter-writing campaign and expressions of outrage from different segments of the University saved Dr. Lawler. Is this what is meant by a "special responsibility to ensure that faculty are chosen on the basis of competence, rather than philosophical kinship alone"? — Were the interests of academic freedom served when the administration "terminated'' the contract of Jonathan Ketchum, an instructor in College B who was putting into practice the "free play of intellectual criticism" that Dr. Ketter has placed a high priority on? Or when a former high-level administrator appointed himself acting director of the Colleges when it was well known that his narrow educational philosophy was repugnant to everything the Colleges stand for? Is academic freedom being promoted when a broad-based. University-wide committee is mandated by the Faculty of this University to review the Colleges, only to make recommendations that are significantly altered by the University's top administrator? While Dr. Ketter has stated that the responsibilities for academic freedom "are of course incumbent upon all academic units," the fact remains that the rest of the has never been subjected University unlike the Colleges to a stringent test for such freedom. Prior to the passage of the Reichert Prospectus, the Colleges were making every attempt to explore different viewpoints, to counterbalance a University structure that was one-sided and therefore neglectful of academic freedom.

Brigid Shea ��TRB Constitutional concept of Congressional equality we find Congress relegated to second place. Nixon carried his contempt of Congress beyond anybody else and so we see a reaction taking place. Some think that with Nixon gone' Congress will permanently reassert itself. Sorry I must dissent. Congressional government has never worked well. We have tried it once or twice, particularly after wars, and impatient people have clamored very soon for a “strong” president. If we had developed a parliamentary system (as we almost did several times) we would have collectivized leadership in Congress with strong party control, and at the White House an amiable ceremonial president would be ready to snip ribbons, throw out the first ball at World Series, ski in Colorado and symbolize national unity. Instead, we got what chief Watergate prosecutor James Neal calls a “drift over the years to an quite all-powerful president.” all-powerful; responsibility is still diffused. Nobody in Washington has final responsibility for the budget, nobody has final responsibility for anti-recession action and, in Congress itself, the two houses squabble among themselves, blocking reforms that might aid the poor or tax the big oil companies. Tax reform passed one house and failed in the other; welfare reform died in the Senate after the House passed it twice; even the antique Electoral College, which the House sentenced to death in 1969, is still around: the Senate wouldn’t act. Make no mistake, our system works (to the awe of foreigners), and works pretty well in normal times. Only there aren’t normal times any more; crisis is chronic; I have never, 1 think, seen greater anxiety and dread over the immediate future than there is in Washington at present. Domestic and global forces push reluctant Mr. Ford to action. Some think that this will all pass soon and that we shall gel back to “normal.” Sorry, I must dissent. Questions still arise. Why did we elect Nixon in the first place? He was called “Tricky Dick;” in Congress he exploited the Red Menace; he had a slush fund when he ran with Ike; when he ran for governor in California, a judge exposed his organizers’ dirty tricks. In part, Nixon won in 1972 because 45 percent of the eligible voters didn’t vote. His “landslide” was about one-quarter of the potential electorate. If it is argued that Nixon won because he had weak competition, that only shifts the issue: why is the U.S. electoral process so unsuccessful that it fails to stir 80 million potential “It's A Pleasure To Recognize A Fellow Idealist" T from finance reform law, which should be a help, and it may be broadened as lime goes on. But the phief hope seems to be that Watejrgate was so extraordinary that U won’t be repeated. It never happened before, did it? and look at thb honorable man in the White House now . . . '1 don’t find much comfort in tfie fact that Mr. Ford isn’t the Aype who goes in for dirty tricks in dm amiably incompetent administration. Two forces still push toward executive aggrandizement: the fact that separation of powers no longer works very well, and the fact that accelerating world events increasingly demand prompt action of the kind that the White House alone can provide. Our form of government is a lot different from what the Fathers expected it would be 200 years ago. And it is doubtful whether even the original pattern of the Founders would have worked very well if it had been followed. As to the first proposition, when George Washington went to deliver his initial State of the Union message in New York, Jan. 8, 1 790 he was proceeded and followed by regal outriders in his fine coach-and-six, and his concept of his semi-monarchical role was to give information and make recommendations to Congress and let the buck stop there. The primary responsibility for law-making, he thought, was on Congress. Coordinate branches of government would watch each other and perhaps stalemate each other. Delay? so what! It took 4-1 2 days to ride from Virginia to Philadelphia, and more to New York. Things could wait. Now we travel by jet and instead of the Washington January 20, 1975 Many commentators see tire Watergate guilty verdicts as a vindication of the American system. Here is the prestigious New York Times gloating editorially: “Once more in the long march of American history it has been demonstrated that this is indeed, with all its faults, a nation governed by laws and that no man, irrespective of rank, can with impunity violate the country’s basic sense of legality and decency.” A comforting sentiment, indeed echoed across the nation as the ultimate moral of Watergate as we close the tragic story. Sorry, I must dissent. Certainly Nixon was forced to resign, but was he found guilty by any court? Was Spiro Agnew, for that matter? The existence of the mysterious and mystical Imperial Presidency was never more conspicuous than when the Watergate jury filed in and rendered its solemn verdict with one name omitted. Watergate, it seems to me, shows how far our loose system can be distorted, and how easy it is for someone in the White House, surrounded by patriotic symbols, sleeping in the Lincoln bed, attacked by spiteful newsmen, to rouse the emotional support of the reverent and the innocent. “I trust my President” said one button, even as Nemesis approached. What Nixon left was a blueprint for how it can be done. And not many safeguards have been written, really, to prevent another Watergate.

No future president, they feel, will yield to temptation or, if he does, that Judge Sirica will be on hand and the culprit will courteously leave self-incriminating tape-recordings all along his route. Sorry, 1 must dissent. ' Declining Med School? To the Editor. Within the article en.i.led “Med School Dean Appointed,” appearing in the last- issue of The Spectrum, the writer made multiple allusions concerning the “decline of the school’s national reputation,” the school’s “devalued national image,” and assorted other vagueries aimed, no doubt, toward diminishing the severity of what the writer has termed a “general feeling of low morals within the medical school." While it is possible that the vacancy of the dean’s post for such an extended period presented a source of administrative problems and some degree of interdepartmental I am wondering disharmony, whether this writer has conducted a study showing an increased incidence of morbidity amongst patients of recently graduated UB Med School physicians, as compared with patients of physicians graduated from “reputable” medical schools. I submit that without this type of supportive data, the writer's premature diagnosis concerning the “declining” state of affairs at UB Med School appears to yield little more than a biopsy which many of us involved would consider BENIGN. Mark Jan Palis Second year student UB School of Medicine No Black response To the Editor. On or about Sept. 24, 1974 myself and a f/iend a letter to your paper which you were kind enough to print. The response we received from the student body was overwhelming, and I just wanted wrote to write and thank you. However, there is a dual purpose for this letter. As i have already stated, I want to thank you and all those beautiful people that responded to my request for correspondence. My second reason for writing gives me no pleasure. But I feel it is a must to ask-of the black people of that same student body. I ask of the blacks of your student body not an explanation of the dearth of their compassion. It’s just that 1 feel it should be brought to their attention that writing a person in prison is no longer a degrading act. At any rate, sir, I know that the black students that read this will get the gist of what I’m trying to convey. I, Frank Matthews, am black and also ashamed that out of fifty letters not one of them was from a black student. I would appreciate it very much if you would print this letter in your student paper; perhaps it will help the BROTHERS and SISTERS find that so-called SOUL.

Asked this same question, Dr. Kctter responded, “Anyone can make any review as disruptive as they like.” He indicated that he set the three-year limit on charter duration because the Reichert Prospectus for the Colleges, which called for the reexamination of the Colleges in the form of a chartering process, would be reviewed itself by the Faculty Senate in 1978.

In (LNS) WASHINGTON decision that could affect utility - a The 6 to 3 court decision handed down December 23 by the high court frees private utility companies of any constitutional obligations to give customers a notice or hearing before cutting off service. Justice William H. writing for the majority, said that a utility was free to cut off service for alleged Associate Rehnquist, non-payment even though it has a monopoly, provides an essential public service, is subject to state regulation and, in the case of Metropolitan Edison, had promised the state to provide Edison, the only electric company serving the area. Her power was cut off in October 1972 for alleged non-payment, with no notice to her. Metropolitan Appeals Jackson went to Federal District Court asking damages and an injunction requiring the utility to continue service pending a hearing. But the District Court ruled for MetropolitSn Edison and the United States Court of Appeals upheld the lower court decision. The case went to the Supreme Court in October of last year. Earlier court decisions in several other states, including New York, Ohio and Virginia, have already ruled that utility companies cannot terminate service without first following a that in some cases includes a review by state procedure regulatory agencies.

Douglas termed the majority decision “a great retreat from the exercise of Federal jurisdiction (over utilities] which the Congress has conferred on Federal courts.” standards for utility companies in Bronson vs. Consolidated Edison, a case involving an elderly widow Three Marshall called the ruling “a decisions granting major step in repudiating” a series of past constitutional protection to dealing with persons state-sanctioned and regulated monopolies. The Supreme Court case involved Catherine Jackson of York, Pa. and her dispute with for example, had set who was threatened with termination of services by Con Ed, the nation’s largest electric company. According to Michael D. Hampden, a legal aid lawyer who represented Bronson, she lived on a fixed income of social security and welfare payments. When she moved into a new apartment she began to receive extraordinarily high electric bills. She paid a smaller amount, based on what seemed reasonable from past experiences. Con Ed sent her several delinquency notices then cut of her services. The woman obtained an emergency welfare check to pay the bill but Con Ed lost the check and again terminated services Throughout this period Bronson was without power for a month and a half. Finally, a Con Ed employee found that someone had been tapping her meter and stealing power from her circuit. Legal aid used the case to file a class action suit. The courts ruled in Bronson's favor and ordered Con Fid to follow a uniform procedure for termination of services that would be supervised by the New York Public Services Commission Monopolistic practice In their decision, the New York court explained that because monopolistic public utility have been granted powers of a government nature not normally conferred on private companies corporations, they must provide due process to customers under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. The New York case decided that the next time Con Ld wants to cut off service to a residential customer it must give ten days notice, and specify that the customer has the right to an informal conference with company representatives during that time. The customer must then be informed o f the additional right to another ten days to seek a hearing before the Public Service Commission. Lawyer Hampden said those new rules provide “some kind of buffer against arbitrary action.” If the Public Service Commission rules against the customer, there is recourse through the courts. During this time, according to the Bronson decision, Con Ld can’t turn off the power. Monday, 20 January 1975 . The Spectrum .

Night students Economics and enrollment How to challenge utility companies Two New York public interest groups today'released a utility complaint handbook advising consumers on how to challenge a gas or electric bill. Produced jointly by the New York Consumer Assembly and the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), the handbook outlines specific steps individuals can take to protect themselves against unwarranted shut-offs, billing errors, and other utility actions. According to Stephen Atlas, a NYPJRG staff member and co-author of the handbook (with Adrian Pope of the Consumer Assembly): “In theory, New Yorkers are protected by a number of very explicit-rules and regulations governing utility practice. In fact, neither the utilities nor the Public Service Commission makes more than a nominal effort to advise consumers of these protections. As a result, people regularly pay gas and electric bills that they know or believe to be incorrect, rather than risk having their service shut off. Our handbook is designed to alert these individuals to their rights under the law.” Mr. Atlas described a recent Supreme Court decision as a “serious setback for consumers,” but added that the decision is not expected to affect New Yorkers directly. “The ruling in effect saves utilities can shut off your service whenever and however they please," he said, “but most companies probably still remember that an elderly couple in Schenectady froze to death last winter when Niagara Mohawk turned off their electricity, and few will want to risk a repeat performance.” The complaint handbook, entitled “How to Challenge a Gas or Electric Bill,” includes an introduction by Dan Greenberg and is available at a cost of fifty cents per copy from NYPIRG at 5 Beekman Street, New York.

Staffers there who have counseled adults on career guidance say an increasing number of them are hesitant about going after a college diploma with what they see as an oversupply of college graduates in a tight Buffalo area job market. ( NYPIRG The current economic crunch appears to be having mixed effects on the University's evening courses for adults. Officials in the Division of Continuing Education are interpreting fluctuations in fall enrollment figures as an indication that inflation may be discouraging some adults from deciding to take college credit courses, but encouraging registration for credit-free “self-improvement courses.” They also suspect current inflation is having a greater impact on working adult students than on younger full-time students hwo have access to more financial aid programs. While enrollment is up 2.6 percent overall at the University, it is down in Millard Fillmore College (MFC), the part of the Division of Continuing Education that offers evening credit courses to a clientele made up primarily of adult students working toward diplomas on a part-time basis. “It’s sheer economics,” says John H. Shellum, Assistant to the Dean of Continuing Education, speaking of MFC’S enrollment figure of 4,352 students, a seven percent decline from the spring semester. Dr. Shellum attributed the drop-off to family budget-cutting and the scarcity of financial aid for 6 pm 7 pm - Wednesday 9 am 6 pm.

When hundreds of supporters marched to Dr. Ketter’s office in December with petitions, he was forced to hold a meeting with Vice President Albert Somit, Dr. Spitzberg, Dr. Ketter’s lawyer, and a SUNY lawyer, she explained. Another meeting was called for Christmas Eve, which Merton Ertell, acting vice president for Academic Affairs, also attended, along with lawyers for WSC and four WSC representatives. It was at this meeting that the following three points were added to the charter approval: “to remove any ambiguity; The exclusion of men from a “Women’s Studies College course” will be justified only when such exclusion is cearly and directly related to the educational objective of the course and necessary to the achievement of those objectives; Courses in which enrollment is — - —continued from page 3— limited to women should constitute only a small proportion of the total courses .offered by Women’s Studies College; and Challenges or questions with regard to such exclusion will be heard via established academic channels and procedures.” Before WSC can make plans for any further action against these three points of contention, the governing board must decide whether it agrees if any action should be taken at all. - Clarification Since there was some ambiguity surrounding the meaning of “academic channels and procedures regarding the unit to determine the exclusivity,” Dr. Spitzberg clarified the procedure for a new WSC course. “The course would have to go through the same channel as any other course that puts restrictions on admissions,” he said. It would first be evaluated by the College Curriculum Committee, the dean of the colleges, the Division of Undergraduate Education, and finally by the Academic Affairs vice president. The subsequent decision could be appealed at each level, if anyone in the university contested it, he explained. This procedure will be effective for all controversial courses beginning in September of this year. Three courses in the college will be allowed to continue the existing exclusionary policy for the duration of the semester. More review Regarding the 18-month review, Dr. Spitzberg explained that the Reichert Prospectus did not provide the kind of review that the President was concerned with specifically, to make certain that WSC meets the conditions recently set. - “The president is. also seeking another opportunity [for review) with more leisure since the Reichert Prospectus does not provide enough review,” he added. Additionally, Dr. Spitzberg said that WSC collective governance, which does npt fall under the committee’s requirements that chief administrative officers be chosen from faculty staff, has been provisionally accepted, according to Dr. Spitzberg. Before making his decision. Dr. Ketter received letters from some Congressmen stating that WSC’s exclusionary policy is an absolute violation of Title IX. “Action could be brought against the college at any time, as well as any other unit of the University, which is why I have set the provisions that such courses will be required to go through academic channels and procedures to determine their validity,” Dr. Ketter said in a telephone interview Friday. t Increase in student loans despite tight money The New ALBANY, N Y. York Higher Education Assistance Corporation (NYHEAC) anticipates the best year in its history with more than $171.6 million dollars in student loans expected to be written in conjunction with New York financial institutions before the fiscal year ends on March 31, 1975. NYHEAC President J. Wilmer Mirandon stated that the - surprising rate of student borrowings provided by banks in a tight money market indicates that dollar value will exceed the prior peak of $167,419,745 set in the 1972 fiscal year. Third quarter summaries at NYHEAC report 35,055 student loans worth $47,771,561 were written, bringing the nine-month total to 110,517 student loans valued at $152,354,355. “It would appear that the Corporation will not receive requests for as many individual loans as it did in the 1972 high when 153,283 were processed. In view of new State grants, including the Tuition Assistance Program, we believe this year’s total will be close to 127,000 including 64,000 first-time loans. However, the average anticipated loan amount for this fiscal year will be $1,315 compared to $ 1,252 in 1974,” Mirandon stated. repayments. The purchase of defaulted loans by NYHEAC is down seven percent or lower by one million dollars, in comparison with a similar period in the peak default fiscal year of 1974, and default dollars are running 6.5 percent of all matured loan dollars. “Defaults are not losses but delinquencies pointed out that by counselling students directly and working out subject to reasonable workout over a period of time. The vast majority of student borrowers are taking care of their obligations. Even those in default are paying the Corporation more than $300,000 a month, which is twice as much as previously,” Mr Mirando explained. reasonable arrangements the Corporation has been able to avert 5 5 percent of default claims receive; and to return the loans to the lenders for completion of of activity in student loans at the beginning of the fiscal year when the Federal Government removed the necessity for a needs test of Less defaults The NYHEAC Chief Executive mu He indicated there was a surge AM’S wants Sell 11,000 student borrowers in this growing category. NYHEAC was organized in 1958, and it has guaranteed to 704,389 New York students one out of every five nationally in program loans valued at $1.42 billion. Approximately $489 million dollars has been repaid by coming from homes where the adjusted family income was $ 1 5,000 or less. “Although we advocate that students seek loans only after all other scholarship and tuition awards are exhausted, it would appear that increased loan activity may be caused primarily by inflated costs and a reduction in the family contribution a student can expect. There is also an increasing realization by students as to the long-term advantages of low-interest loans that permit the average borrower-' to make monthly repayments of about $5 and repayments can be extended for as long as 10 years,” Mr. Mirandon said. Under Federal regulations, students coming from homes where the income is $15,000 or less after making certain standard adjustments may obtain the loans which are interest-free until they complete college. Then the loan repayment is based on a 7 percent interest. For students coming from families whose adjusted income is between SI 5,000 and $30,000, the State now pays four-seventh’s interest on the standard 7 percent loan with the student paying 3 percent from the time the loan is authorized. After the student graduates, the loan plus the 7 percent interest is paid by the student. There are more than applicants — - students with a similar amount now in the process of repayment. Students still in college hold the remaining $442 million dollars in loans. To date, each loan has cost the State about $67 including all administrative expenses, all default losses and interest subsidies without considering the fact that the program attracts more than $40 million in annual Federal interest subsidies into New York which create additional State revenue. Students receiving loans under NYHEAC guarantee attend some 2,800 institutions of higher education in every state as well as some 50 foreign countries. There are 474 New York lending institutions participating in the program, including banks, savings and loan associations, federal savings and loan associations, credit unions and pension funds. “Our lenders are making an extremely worthwhile contribution to New York students and schools,” Mr. Mirandon stated. In July 1975 NYHEAC will be merged into the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation which will provide the delivery mechanism for all State scholarships and grants, as well as continuing the loan guarantee program.

The three game winning streak is particularly interesting because the last two wins were on the road. The Bulls record now stands at a nearly respectable 4—8. The cadets took a seven point lead early in the second half as Buffalo’s man-to-man defense presented no problems for them. Then the Bulls coach Leo Richardson switched to the two-three zone that had been so effective in earlier wins over St. Francis and Colgate. “That was the turning point,” said Richardson. “They didn’t know what to do against it.” The zone forced Army to take more outside shots than they had against the — Buffalo roared back as senior forward Bob Dickinson scored eight consecutive points to give the Bulls a three point edge two minutes left. Dickinson nearly became the goat with less than ten seconds left when his jump shot was blocked by Gary Winton. “Dicks” claimed that as he recovered the ball, it rolled off Winston’s leg and out of bounds. However, the referee gave the ball to Army, but it could not get a shot off an regulation time expired with the score knotted at 62. Otis Horne’s four points at the start of the overtime period gave Buffalo a lead it never relinquished, although it took an interception by Dickinson with four seconds remaining to lock up the victory. Winton did a lot of damage in a losing cause. The 6’5”, 220 pound forward scored 29 points with 14 rebounds. “He wasn't quick but he sure was physical,” said Dickinson, who covered the husky cadet for much of the night. Richardson added, “He knocked us around, and after Sam Pellom had three fouls all we could do was put Wrestling Bulls hold first place with win by Lynn Everard Spectrum Staff Writer Many people thought that the Buffalo wrestling Bulls’ chances of beating Clarion State last Wednesday were as bleak as the weather in Olean, N.Y. where the meet was held. Despite the snow, wind and Clarion’s powerful team, the Bulls never gave up, arid they came back from a 16—4 deficit to win 22—20. “Every bout was important,” said Buffalo coach Ed Michael, noting the clo,seness of the contest. However, “this was just another meet for us,” he claimed. In fact the Bulls, who are now ranked first in the Stale, have had to come from way behind in three of their last four wins. heavyweight In what seems to be becoming a habit, Buffalo heavyweight Charlie Wright defeated a much larger opponent to win the meet for the Bulls. Wright’s tenacious style brought him back from a two point deficit when he scored a takedown on a rolling headlock in the second period. Exhaustion prevented Wright from making post match comments to the press, but he had, as usual, done his talking on the mat. Wright previously pulled out close matches with Lock Haven (Pa.) State and Kentucky with wins against larger heavyweights. Lightning may not strike twice In the same place but 167 pounder Erik Drasgow does. Two Consistent years ago, when he was a raw freshman, Drasgow pinned Clarion’s Dick Dunkelberger to ice Buffalo’s win. This time he leveled Gerry Higgins, seriously changing the complexion of the contest. In the 177 pound bout, a cradle by Emad Faddoul produced yet another pin and put the Bulls ahead for the first time jn the meet. “He gets better every match he wrestles,” said Michael of the senior 177 pounder. Turning point An open letter to the people of SUNYAB What would you do to give this campus a sense of community? Do you know that there is organization that would welcome your answers on improving the community-and would try to implement them? Do you know that there is a group that cares about you, as a person who has worth, beauty, tapped and untapped potentials you as who you are and as who you want to be. Indeed, this group does not want to convert you, but serve you, challange you, search with you, rejoice with you, share your sorrows in short to love you and be loved by you. VJe at Wesley Foundation have tried to get this message across to you in may ways, and with some success. But there are many of you who have not heard, or who have been suspicious about what you heard, or have just not believed what you heard. We want to set the record straight so please read the following! Several people have asked, “What is the Wesley Foundation?” Our main concern is we are a campus ministry attempting to provide a positive sense of community. community While we are sponsored by the United Methodist Church we are open to anyone. We define our ministry as being in loving service to, with, and for people meeting needs, sharing joy, discussing life goals and ideas, searching for a life style that builds bridges instead of walls, that enables love instead of war. We do not always succeed, and we most definitely make mistakes. But most of those who have been around us do believe our slogan You Gotta Friend! Though that may sound corny,just think about how important your friends are to you. To keep this community “meeting” our main event is a weekly free supper on Sundays at 6:00 pm. (the place is noted on the backpage of each Friday’s iJThe Spectrum). Some have wondered why more of you have not eaten at these free suppers, while others have suggested you do not want something for nothing. Some of you probably figure there is some “catch”. Well, there is no catch we do have free suppers. However, those who want to pay can donate whatever they wish each week to help feed the world’s hungry. We do have programs after supper but we wash dishes and clean up so that lose who want to leave can do so without any pressure to stay. We mean that! The programs vary from discussion on music, films and discussion, volleyball and other games, a dance night, to group process sessions. We also have worship once a month for those who want it. We are always open to suggestions for other Sunday evening programs. We are planning to begin worship services each Sunday morning at 11:00 in Red Jacket cafeteria (Elicott Complex). They will be informal, fresh, lively, and use as much student input as possible. There are plans for a Bible study real study and open discussion, not Bible agreement passed off as study watch for days and time in The Spectrum. We also have special events. We have seasonal and semester- end celebrations. We will have a “Toboggan and Pizza Party”. We will have a Retreat on a special theme from Feb. 28 Mar. 2 at Watson Homestead a lovely setting with an indoor pool. There will be a workshop on Death and Dying held each Wednesday from Feb. 12 April 9 at 11:30 1:00 in room 232 Norton (register in 223 Norton). We hope to be doing some programs all semester to help aid the efforts to fight World Hunger. We have intramural teams that can use. team members. You do not have to be involved in everything we do in order to be involved in any one pick and choose what you want. Indeed, the program we now have may not attract program your attention at all if so, pleas tell ifs what you would have us do and we will try to do it. We need people who want to help lead, and/or plan, and/or participate in all we have, and/or all we should have but do not! One other program we have is what we call Couple’s Group”. It is designed for married couples traditional or non-traditional i.e. open to any couple wanting to relate to a group of couples. The program seeks to enable us to relate to each other and hear how other couples respond. We also simply enjoy each other’s company and friendship. There is very little programming for couples on campus and we hope some of you will become a part of our group. There is also a service of counseling. The director is available by appointment for counseling. He is also available from 9 11 am Mondays, 9-12 noon Fridays for anyone who wants to drop by and talk about anything. Call 634-7129. What will it cost you to get involved? Some of your time, some of your concern that is all. What will you get for your “cost”? Some friends, a caring community, enjoyment, a search for life-style, a challenge to help, a better community. What will it “cost” you not to get involved? It will cost you what it cost others who have graduated and have not been involved not enough personal development and social experiences, and not enough chances for meaningful interpersonal relationships. The Wesley foundation cares. We believe that “We cann 9 t know whether we love God, although there is strong reasons for thinking so, but there can be no doubt about whether we love our neighbor or not.” We want to" serve you, search with you, and need your participation. You Gotta Friend! Call 634-7129 to speak to Rod Saunders, Wesley Foundation Director or just drop by the information table in Norton, or just come to one of the events. an ■ - - — ~ — But a last second reversal and victory by Bruce Hadsell at 158 was the turning point in the meet, both mathematically and psychologically. It seems that Hadsell’s performance has a definite effect on his teammates. Drasgow’s one loss so far this season followed a loss by Hadsell. “He just gets me psyched up." Erik said. The way Hadsell pulled victory from the hands of defeat with two seconds showing on the clock would have psyched anyone. Ron Parker drew a national champion in the Clarion meet for the second year in a row. Last season Parker was understandably pinned by Wade Schalled, one of collegiate wrestling’s all time greats. Last week Parker lost to Don Rohn, who won the national title at 134 two years ago, by a 12—7 score. Parker received a lot of credit for keeping the match with the powerful Rohn as close as it was. =iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinituiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniig I S Interested in Chile?

Mr. Pernasilice and co-defendant John HiIl(also knwon as DaCajaweiah) are charged with the murder of William Quinn, a prison guard who was injured on the first day of the 1971 Attica uprising and who later died in a hospital. Disregarding Mr. Pernasilice’s plea that his car had broken down near Syracuse on his way back to Buffalo for the trial (he lives in Syracuse), and the contention that the defendant’s presence was not actually required in court that morning, State Supreme Court Justice Gilbert King warned, “All defendants are indispensable at this trial at all times,” as he revoked bail. Anti-racism march scheduled for Boston Jens of thousands of people Committee Against Racism of the over the country are Rochester Episcopal Diocese, and expected to converge on Boston numerous antipoverty and church this Saturday, December 14, for a grodps. from all March Against Racism, sponsored by the Emergency Committee for a National Mobilization Against Racism. Two buses are expected to leave from Buffalo Friday night and ,.return.. Saturday ..after the March. The local chapter of the anti-racism is headed by Richard Ferguson. The group has an office Lafayette Hotel in in the Lafayette Square, and has set up a table in Norton Hall this week from 11:30 a.m.—2 p.m. to sign up people for the buses and hand out literature on the riots in Boston that followed a court-ordered integration plan. The cost of the round-trip, including food, is $25. However, the price is reduced to $12.50 for those who cannot afford the amount, entire said one spokesperson. A leaflet released by the local Emergency Committee states, “The recent events in Boston of mob violence, stoning and beating of black children and ppen organizing by the KKK and the Nazi Party must be answered. The issue in Boston is not busing, it is RACISM.” Free choice “We believe in the right of all children, especially black and other minority nationalities, to attend the school of their choice,” the leaflet writes. “But in the face of vigilante mobs in Boston, a massive demonstration is .needed to insure even that basic democratic right.” In addition to the main march in Boston, solidarity marches are planned in Milwaukee, Houston, and San Francisco. Local and sponsors state include The Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, numerous labor groups and leaders, Leslie Fiedler, Chairman of the English Department at this University* several attorneys connected with civil liberties groups. The Revival of racism In a statement supporting the march, the New York chapter of the Coalition of Black Trade which includes members of Teamsters “we have witnessed, what was believed to be the destruction of racism in the South, only to see it rise with the support of President Ford in the North [Boston] “We have witnessed one of the most popular liberal candidates future Presidential fo;possible (Senator Ted considerations Kennedy) run for possible future Presidential considerations run Kennedy] (Senator Ted blacks since Meredith broke the color line at ole Mississippi over a decade ago.” The prime national sponsors are the Reverend Ralph Abernathy, Martin Luther King Jr.’s successor in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and State Representative-elect Bill Ownes.

Circulation average: 14,000 Habeas corpus Mr. Pemasilice was being held at the Erie County Holding Center ass The Spectrum went to press Monday night, pending an appeal of the revocation Tuesday morning by attorneys for the Attica Brothers Legal Defense (ABLD). If the appeal fails, it is possible that writ of habeas corpus will be sought to free Mr. Pemasilice. “We are outraged” at Judge King’s action, said ABLD spokesperson Polly Eustis Monday night. “There’s no basis at all to revoke Charlie Joe’s bail on those kind of grounds.” She admitted that Mr. Pemasilice has been late three times sfor court sessions since his pre-trial hearings began, but said that he has had a reasonable excuse each time. Besides. Ms. Eustis added, Monday morning’s session concerned only the cross-examination of a witness pertinent to the case of Mr. Hill, not that of Mr. Pemasilice. “The judge simply mande an arbitrary decision withot taking the circumstances into consideration.” she said, noting that Mr. Pemasilice had made the weekend trip to Syracuse to see his mother. In revoking bail. Judge King also disregarded the arguments of defense attorney Williamn Kunstler, who said that returning Mr. Pernssilice to jail would prevent him from appearing at this week’s "wade" hearings. • Jury selectionn Jury slection will begin this week for the trial of Vernon La Franque, accused of felony posession of a tear gass gun during the Attica uprising, despite ABLD protests over the jury pool. ABLD had previously presented their study, the Fair Jury Project, to the New York State Appellate Court, allegedly proving a strong prejudice in Erie County against black people, persons who seek change, and persons accused of crime. The study concluded that “it would be virtually impossible for the Attica Brothers to obtain an impartial jury in Erie County.” There are currently no black people being considered for jury duty on Mr. LaFranque’s trial. Frederick Hayes, lawyer for Mr. LaFranque, has told the court that notes that were to be available to the defense are missing. These notes, which were turned over to Anthony Simonetti, the head of the Attica prosecution, consisted on an interview between witness Clarence Hunter and two state investigators, held after. ABLD pointed out that the similaries between this and the ABLD pointed out that the similarities between this and the members suspected that it had gone through a paper shredder, according to Ms. Eutis. Mr. Simonetti has been unable to locate the information.

Second Page two . The Spectrum . Wednesday, 11 December 1974 ... ' I �NYPIRG’s technical and financial problems settled Buffalo campus. Mr. Deuell must sign all SA requests for funds. by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor After weeks of uncertainty, requests for Student Association (SA) funds allocated to the Buffalo chapter of the New York Public Interest Group (NYP1RG) have been approved by the University’s Office of Student Affairs. NYPIRG of Buffalo, formally the Western New York Public interest (WNYPIRG), was Group Research previously associated only informally with the statewide NYPIRG organization, retaining independent status as an SA club. In September, however, WNYPIRG joined NYPIRG and changed its own name to NYPIRG. Buffalo’s NYPIRG then routinely requested funds through its SA budget line, but was informed that no such requests would be approved by the Office of Student Affairs because the organization had changed its name. Howard Deuell, assistant vice-president for Student Affairs, said he rejected the requests because he was concerned with protecting the purpose of mandatory that the funds be used only student fees for the benefit of the State University at - Financial aid info Political problems Richard Sokolow,new Buffalo flYPIRG director, said that while the name change had “technically” held up the requisitions, he felt the action was part of a more general feeling within the Administration and State University administrations throughout the state that NYPIRG is a group that can cause “political problems.” Mr. Sokolow cited complaints to President Robert Ketter by area last summer about a pharmacists WNYPIRG study of local pharmacies that revealed they were dispensing of harmful combinations of drugs. Mr. Deuell maintained that NYPIRG requests for funds were initially disapproved because of its new name, explaining that “as far as I know, there are no negative feelings about NYPIRG’s operations. Mr. Sokolow feels that NYP1RG was to change justify its name that the unreasonably, adding the diluting Administration is organization’s effectiveness by causing it to asked Financial Aid Applications for I97S—76 are now available at the -Financial Aid Office, 312 Stockton Kimball Tower.

Mr. Sokolow also said SA Treasurer Sal Napoli should have notified NYPIRG of the Administration’s rejections of their . budget request- earlier, since all such . requests go through Mr. Napoli’s office. But Mr. Napoli explained that no funds are approved by the Administration until October 15, and that he informed NYPIRG officials as soon as he realized the situation. Thin ice Sokolow said the University Mr. operates by people “covering their asses.” He explained that even though the Administration may be wary of NYPIRG, it was a good sign. If University officials were not adverse to the organization’s activities, we would probably not be doing a good job, he said. “You know NYPIRG is Andy Hugos, Student Association of State University (SASU) Media Director, remarked that while there has been some “harrassment” of PIRGs around the state, there is probably no policy of intimidation. He feels much of the problem stems from the State University Central Administration’s impression that “everybody is moving in on the mandatory student activities fee,” adding that it is SASU’s position that “students have the right to use their funds any way they want.” Additionally, Mr. Hugos speculated that members of the state legislature did not particularly care for NYPIRG’s candidate profiles during the recent election. State University Chancellor Ernest Boyer stated that the use of mandatory fees for PIRG’s at state campuses is “a gent.eman’s agreement on very thin ice.” Mr. Hugos has maintained that politics is very much involved in education and the State University is “sensitive” to that.

Vacancy filled Med School dean appointed The State University Board of Trustees has appointed Dr. John Naughton as Dean of the Buffalo School of Medicine, a post that has been vacant for more than three years. Dr. Naughton. former Dean for Academic Affairs at George Washington University’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences, will assume the post this March. Many observers felt that the absence of a dean at the School of Medicine has contributed to its general decline since the mid-1960’s. The Liaison Committee on Medical Education concurred with this evaluation in its accreditation report issued in 1972. The usual seven-year accreditation extension period was denied by the committee, and in granting an abbreviated three-year extension, the group urged the school to move immediately to secure a dean. Donald Larson, assistant vice president for Health Sciences, explained the delay. "It’s awfully difficult to find a man willing to take a deanship of a medical school whose objectives match those of the school,” he said. “A careful, long-term screening process is involved.” Not a long time Dr. F. Carter Pannill, vice president for Health Sciences who has served as acting dean since July, 1971, felt, however, that the search was not an unusually long one. He pointed out that there arc at least 30 vacant deanships in the United States, some that have taken longer to fill than theirs. In addition, he denied that the decline of the school’s national reputation, which some feel has prompted many faculty members to leave, has been a factor in discouraging prospective deans, but he conceded that the absence of a dean has been the cause of some of the school’s difficulties. “In every medical school, there Ms turnover of faculty. There will always be better positions available somewhere,” Dr. Pannill said. However, Dr. S. Mouch.'y Small, chairman of the Psychiatry Department, countered that “It’s very complimentary to have other well-known and highly regarded universities take our faculty from us, but that still leaves us without a highly qualified faculty.” Dr. Pannill asserted that the absence of a dean has contributed to the general feeling of low morale at the school, as well as to other administrative and organizational problems. One faculty member commented, “An army can’t function without a general. We’re a bunch of individuals, fighting our own battles. There’s no esprit de corps.” Merry Christmas But many observers feel that even a full-time not alleviate the school’s leadership problems, and that many of the current problems were in existence prior to 1971 when Dr. Leroy Pesch was dean of the medical school. One professor even commented, “We have not had effective dean will leadership for sex or seven years.” While the vacant deanship may have contributed to the school’s problems, it is apparently not the sole cause. One of the nation’s oldest medical school (established in 1846), Buffalo’s reputation in recent years has not measured up to those of schools founded around the same time. It’s decline can be related to the lack of space in the school's facilities, and its inadequate health sciences library. Both these points were cited in the Liaison Committee’s accreditation report. The absence of a university hospital was also considered detrimental to the school’s quality. However, Dr. Pannill is very optimistic about the school’s future. With Dr. Naughton’s appointment, things are definitely “looking up” for the School of Medicine, he said, adding that its devalued national image is already improving. Wednesday, 11 December 1974 . The Spectrum . Page three �Change in White House may bring softer ‘pot’ laws Forces for lobbying the decriminalization of marijuana may have received an extra boost when Richard Nixon resigned as President last August. Mr. Nixon had maintained that he would oppose any move to lower the penalties for the possession of marijuana, even after a recommendation by the Nixon-appointed National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse supported such a move. But the mood at the White House apparently has changed. President Ford has told reporters that according to his own children, the effect of marijuana is “not unlike alcohol,” and that Mrs. Ford is certain that their children have at least tried marijuana. Moreover, Robert L. DuPont, the President’s chief drug policy advisor, admitted recently that he saw little point in continuing to jail marijuana users. Changes This new attitude in the White House may well effect a change in the harsh laws that have jailed millions since the 1930’s, when marijuana was criminalized. Debate over the appropriate penalties for marijuana use dates back to the days when the drug was considered an addictive narcotic, far worse than even heroin or morphine. Doctors are still unsure of the result from marijuana usage, but police and prosecutors have realized that the enforcement of current marijuana laws is growing increasingly difficult to maintain. “The simple fact is that there is a tremendous number of people using marijuana these days,” said Wesley Pomeroy, Denver Police Chief and one-time Justice Department official. “From a pragmatic point of view, the police ought not to be put in the uncomfortable position of having to enforce an unenforceable law,” he said. Many estimates put the number of marijuana users in the United States at 24 million and at least half that number are thought to use it on a regular basis. Last year, almost 400,000 people were arrested for the sale or possession of marijuana. Penalties for use range from a minimum of $100 fine in Oregon to a possible 15-year prison term in New York.

Hi for inf: Dept, of History 636-2181 m m —| |J �Wrap-up Semester’s end finds many pressing issues unresolved Editor’s note: The following is a wrap-up some of the major news items of the semester. of Financial issues occupied the mainstream of campus new for most of the Semester, particularly in the threatened closing of the Day Care Center and extended haggling over the Student Association(SA) budget, and to a lesser extent with concern over the College Chartering process. Debate on the four-course load, as well as a growing disenchantment with the Faculty-Student Association in general, and with Food Service in particular, were also topical concerns. The University Day Care Center is scheduled to close down December 14. Unless a reprieve in the form of emergency funds from the administration is forthcoming, the Cooke Hall facilities presently used by the Center will be unavailable next semester because of the uncertainty and confusion surrounding the Center’s future. No student monies The Day Care troubles began during the summer when the SA and GSA elected not to fund the Center through Sun-Board I, saying that the $29,000 formerly provided was too great an expense and benefited too few students. The expenditure was difficult for the student organizations to justify when clubs and special interest groups were challenging the varsity athletic budget and fighting tooth and nail over every available dollar. The Center then appealed to the University for funds, claiming that Day Care was a right of all people, and should be funded by the State of New York. University administrators, however, insisted that the only reason the Center had been funded in the past was because it could be justified to SUNY central on academic grounds. Now, they said, with the attention focused on sthe Center’s fiscal problems, Albany might re-examine the grounds on which the existing Center was funded, and bring these precariously justified staff lines into danger. Day Care supporters sponsored a series of rallies and fund drives to garner support among the student body and inform them of the need for state-funded day care. r* is sponsoring a graduate program for the Spring ’75 semester. Project “SEARCH” is -a pilot program coordinated by the New York State Education Project rf. atfadent* Student spending The SA budget up in the air until it was finally passed by the Assembly last month turned out to be a tedious, drawn out debacle of clubs and interest groups fighting for what they saw as their share of the $800,000 gathered from the mandatory student fee. Disruptions at Assembly meetings last year prevented any decisions on the budget, so the SA Executive Committee passed it during the quieter summer months, when few Assembly members were around. This fall’s Assembly meetings became bogged down in technical, parliamentary stumbling blocks which culminated in the Assembly’s freezing of the entire Athletic Department’s budget. The freeze resolution called for a complete breakdown of all contracts signed by the Athletic Department, and, more specifically, an investigation by the Executive Committee of both the budgetary changes made by the Athletic Department and all signed contracts which resulted from those changes. But SA President Frank Jackalone’s veto quickly ended the freeze and dispelled all the legal hassles which would have stemmed from cancelling pre-scheduled sports events. The veto was a “sign of confusion, not firmness,” Mr. Jackalone said at the time. It did serve, however, as an ominous sign to the Athletic Department that in times of tight money, varsity sports will not be regarded as a top priority. “SEARCH” Dept., dedicated to the development and evaluation of innovative approaches to elementary and secondary education.

It was, all in all, a relatively mild end to what was expected to be a stormy, polarizing process. The Committee recommended that only one College, Progressive Education, be discontinued next semester, but softened that move by recommending Guidelines The Day Care Center subsequently adopted a that they continue instead as a workshop. The matter is far from closed, though.

Petitions are now being circulated urging the academic grounds. But victory may prove pyrrhic, and the future rechartering of WSC in its present form, and another of the Center after December 20 is still very much in rally and a march to President Ketter’s office is doubt.

This anti-inflationary trend is a result of a drastically reduced retail business which has forced over-stocked stores to lower their prices to unload stockpiled merchandise. At the same time, wholesalers, beset by order cancellations, are selling goods to retailers at low prices, in order to move merchandise. The prices are likely to drop even lower as Christmas approaches. Large chain stores, including Sears Roebuck and J.C. Penny’s, are reporting the lowest monthly gains for November in years. Many are promoting specials just to stimulate the lagging consumer interest in buying. Season to be jolly The Christmas shopping season this year is five days shorter than last, another reason why stores are not waiting until after Christmas to stage their sales. Reduced prices have been advertised across the nation in many stores since the day after Thanksgiving. The consumer who has been waiting to make a major purchase is now at an advantage. While the usual specials on shirts, underwear and socks are going on, certain bargains in other departments seem unprecedented at this time of year.

The daily traffic flow through the front doors of Norton has created a “wind tunnel” on the first floor. Despite a decade of request by Maintenance for remedial action, nothing has been done to stifle these indoor tornadoes. In Oct., 1973 Bob Henderson, associate Director of Norton Hall, held a with administration meeting officials to discuss the problem. Robert Hunt, Director of Environmental Health and Safety, Dwayne Moore of the Office of Facilities Planning and Ray Reinig of the Department of General Maintenence came up with a plan to enclose the porch outside the rear entrance of the building. The construction of a porch and addition of heating facilities, wlych would have cost between $25-100,000, was subsequently vetoed by the Office in General Services in Albany. allocate the Services recommended that the situation be remedied in 1977, when Norton Hall is scheduled for a thorough renovation. By that time, according to Mr. Tclfer, the student union facility will be located on the Amherst campus. Until the expected renovation is undertaken, Mr. Telfer claimed, “Our hands are tied." Discussing Albany’s refusal to allocate the necessary funds, Lee Kennedy, Norton Hall Supervising Janitor, said, this information had never been passed along to the maintenence staff. Until now, claims Mr. Kennedy, he and his co-workers were under the impression that both the Norton and University Adminstrations and the various University departments had not taken steps to remedy the situation. “1 realize that we may not have done a complete job of sharing all of the information with the maintenence staff, but our office has also not received very much Nothing left information either,” Mr. “The people of this campus Henderson claimed. “We have done all they can,” claimed recognize the problem and feel Mr. Hunt, expressing concern for very strongly about it,” he said, the Maintenence staffs feeling adding that it is generally felt that that the administration has been the final decision rests with unsympathetic to their plight.

Amherst (between Youngmann Expy. & Maple Rd.) �General education success key: a makeover specialist teachers , by Clem Colucci Special Features Editor University of Chicago Philosophy Professor Stephen Toulmin led off last weekend’s Conference on “General Education and the First Two Undergraduate Years” by discussing the functions of general education and the steps college and university teachers will have to take to restore it. The conference, co-sponsored by the Offices of the President and Faculty-Senate, is part of the Senate Educational Planning and Policy Committee’s inquiry into the state of undergraduate liberal education at the University, according to Faculty-Senate Chairman George Hochfield. Dr. Toulmin discussed changes in higher education over the past two decades in an attempt to explain the anxiety among college faculty. “I wonder how many of you remember the End of Ideology?” he asked. In the late 1950’s, intellectuals believed “there was no basic problem about the organization of society,” said Dr. Toulmin. The big question was to improve the efficiency of social and educational arrangements. Pie in the sky The money poured into higher education when the Soviets launched Sputnik and disrupted the “Biblical pattern seven years fat, seven years lean” of educational funding and led college faculty to believe the resulting growth would continue indefinitely, Dr. Toulmin explained. As higher education proceeded on the assumptions of general prosperity and a concern for “efficiency” over more basic questions, the disciplines became more specialized. Dr. Toulmin compared higher education to a fan, with the different disciplines as individual blades. The trend in education was to move out toward the ends of the fan blades, emphasizing the diversity and specialization of knowledge, rather than toward the center, which stressed the unity and generality of knowledge. This was efficient, said Dr. Toulmin, but it was also a mistake. The “End of Ideology” was a misconception. Intellectuals now realize they must have a “preoccupation not with efficiency, but with justice.” This return to more “basic” questions, like justice, requires “a return to matters of general culture.” Progress within the disciplines is no longer “a self-evident good,” said Dr. Toulmin. — Getting serious He dismissed the argument that students are now to more conservative and career-oriented as a “canard ... 'Ladies & excuse us from the disagreeable task of taking general education seriously,” and outlined the functions of undergraduate education and the specific role of general 1 education. “A fair amount of undergraduate education is ... remedial,” Dr. Toulmin emphasized. College students “won’t read” and “can’t write.” He rejected the common claim that the high schools can be held responsible for the declining literacy of college students. If college teachers in all subjects demand good English as a prerequisite for good grades, “the news would get back to where it counts,” Dr. Toulmin said. He also briefly mentioned the pre-professional function of undergraduate education, that part which requires specialization and “moving out to the end of the fan blade.” The third, and most important function of undergraduate education is the “critical function,” Dr. Toulmin believes undergraduate education involves “citizens in embryo, hopefully also educated men in embryo, though that may be asking a lot.” Help wanted The properly educated undergraduate must learn ways of thinking and arguing to face problems “not as a professional, but as a man and a citizen.” The student must also develop the ability “to absorb a range of material,” from music to science. “What we lack is the central culture,” lamented Dr. Toulmin. It is no longer true, as it once was, that any two educated persons could find common ground for intellectual discussion. Students are interested in these things, Dr. Toulmin asserted, “We must help them.” Dr. Toulmin outlined how general education should contribute to fulfilling the functions of undergraduate education. First, he pointed out, universities shouldn’t rush out and hire general education teachers. General education should not be the concern of “specialized generalists" who would be shunted off into second-class academic citizenship. Critical thinking, for example, should be taught in the academic subjects by the teachers of those subjects, not by teachers of critical thinking. Generalized specialization General education is also vital to professional and pre-professional education. Dr. Toulmin said. Without general education, he asserted, "we are impoverishing ourselves even within our special subjects." Dr. Toulmin cited his reaction after reading several graduate syllabi for sociology graduate schools. Anyone taking these programs “has no chance whatever of becoming a Max Weber.” he Mens Pipe Show ffSS SUNDAY at 1:00 free samples of our custom blend tobaccos given at show Large selection of manufactured and hand made pipes Pinball entertainment Main&Bailey Smoke Shop said (Max Weber was one of the foremost pioneers of sociological theory). Dr. Toulmin said Weber was great because “he knew so much,.” “Who cares about polling techniques in the last resort?” Dr. Toulmin asked. The concern with social problems nurtured by a broad study of philosophy, science and literature made Weber the sociologist he was, not his knowledge of sociological technique. Dr. Toulmin related his experience with a history of a science course he once taught to illustrate some practical reforms for general education. The course was taught by three teachers, at least two of whom were always in attendance. Dr. Toulmin said the spectacle of a scientist and a philosopher arguing over a question neither of them were expert in was highly stimulating to professor and student alike. Oh yeah? Says who? “A simple reform would be to have at least two teachers in each [introductory] course so they can argue —Breslaver with each other,” said Dr. Toulmin. This would educate students in the “necessity of disagreement.” He emphasized that general education must be taught by the specialists. Dr. Toulmin told of the time he visited Cambridge the summer before he entered. A distinguished scientist showed him such diverse things as the cyclotron in the Cavendish laboratories (Dr. Toulmin originally wanted to be a scientist) and a performance of The Missiah in Trinity chapel. Medical students, for example, would pay attention to a medical ethics course if taught by respected professors in other subjects, but not otherwise, he claimed. If general education is to be a success, said Dr. Toulmm,-i'we are going to have to make.ourselves over.” He recalled a Scottish tradition of having the senior professors teach freshmen, in contrast to current American practices of leaving them to the graduate students. Toulmin surmised that some serious Dr. re-examination of the faculty role is required if well-rounded students are to graduate from our universities and colleges.

He and his theories of education, feels that the administrators gave often sending the audience into in too easily to student demands for special courses in womens studies and black history, in order to pacify these groups. In doing so, he indicated, they segregated these studies from the existing academic and departments consigned them to secdnd rate status. As an altemtive, he outlined a plan desingned to give students a well-rounded education stimulate their and to intellectual abilities, not through required courses in western civilization as was the practice before the student unrest of the last decade, but through well designed, well taught courses in a number of basic fields. Searle laughter with his clever reserved witticisms. Dr. Searle agreed with several that previous speakers “confidence n liberal [general] education has been lost.” He reassured the audience, however, that the death of liberal education at hand, and that this in confidence is due to “a partially feauure in Bourgeois society to periodically is not erosion announce its demise.” Confidence schools are doing a worse job today, or TV is doing a better one.” He also feels that every student should learn how to both speak and read as well as dream in a foreign This is language. because important foreign languages help one to learn other habits of thought as well as to understand English better.

Dr.Searle added a student should learn philosophy by “philosophizing about something substantive,” as a prerequisite to what learning progessional philosphers have to say. - - Despite its failures, Dr. Searle is still confident in the American university because it raises a larger percentage of the population to a higher intellectual level than does any other system, he said. In Study history research, he went on, “America Searle believes that Dr. clearly leads the world.” And students should study their own since education and research are history, so that they know that the two basic functions of the “not only the past existed, but higher education system, Dr. that they of the past.” Searle contended there must be Students are hungry for the something being done right. intellectual security of such a However, he believed the first program.” explained Dr. Searle, two years of college do not and given his belief that students prepare the student the way they in the 1970’s are easier to teach should. and more eager to leam that According to Dr. Searle, one students in the past, he feels tht basic mistake of the American they will accept such a program. universities is to divide up Dr. Searle not only has ideas knowledge into the “trivium” of about what the ideal program in the humanities, the social sciences general education should be, but and the natural sciences.

According to Dr. Searle, the reason why more students need to take courses in remedial English today tan in the past is that either “high Christopher Lasch Two noted educators callfor broader undergrad programs The Conference on General Education, an examination of the first two years of undergraduate study, began here Saturday with speeches by Steven Marcus. Professor of English at Columbia University and Christopher Lasch. from the Department of History at the University of Rochester. Speaking before an audience made up mostly of State University of Buffalo faculty. Dr. Marcus said that the “lack of confidence" in today’s society stems from the undergraduate educational system. Isolating the problem in the first two years of the undergraduate experience, he claimed that “general education” in America is in a state of steady decline, adding that only "intensive care” from society can now salvage the country’s educational system. Dr. Marcus explained that a general education is that which “most of us have been brought up upon,” namely the study of the humanities. “As long as man will be man, humanist studies will be attractive,” he He criticized those pre-professional students who come to the university for the sole purpose of receiving the vocational tools needed to gain admission to graduate school, and cited these students’ apparent avoidance of the humanities as reason for the general decline in education. Dr. Marcus suggested that freshmen be required to take history and philosophy courses which would avoid “subjecting the student to poorly packaged intellectual material found in the intellectual supermarket.” This plan would also allow the pre-professional student to receive intellectual material from sources other than the “culture industry,” defined by Dr. Marcus as the body which provides intellectual material for the mass of society. Dr. Lasch covered much the same ground as Dr. Marcus, but elaborated on the notion of “deparochializing the pre-professional student” and broadening their educational base. explained. A humanist education should be designed to This could be accomplished, he said, through develop the “whole man” Dr. Marcus went on.

Two immediate problems comprised only arose. The one third of the population in Palestine, and the area designated for the Jewish State already was inhabited by a majority of Arabs. Understandably, the Arabs were upset over the partition, and according to Mr. Lumer, “British imperialism” nourished this sentiment and “instigated the Arabs,” whom they still influenced to attack the new Jewish State of Israel early in 1948. Israeli expansion According to the Arab Information Center in New York City, Israel began expanding its partition borders "before the entry into Palestine of a single soldier from neighboring Arab States.” When the conflict ended, the Israeli armed forces occupied about eighty percent of Palestine, and expelled nearly 750.000 Arabs from their homes, claims the Information Center. If the Arabs and Jews had formed an alliance against “British imperialism” at the close of World War II, the outcome would have been “some form of binational state,” with justice for all, contends Mr. turner. But, among many other problems, it would have been impossible for the Zionists, who had provided leadership to the Jews in Palestine to accept this position. With Zionists in charge of the government of the Israeli State, Arabs living inside Israel were “either ignored or regarded as an inconvenience,” writes Mr. strip, and the entire Sinai Peninsula. “As a result,” writes the Arab Information Center, “every Palestinian Arab today is either living in exile, or under Israeli occupation.” Many Arabs have been displaced from their homes, towns, cities and villages, and have collected in desert refugee camps, struggling for survival. The “lucky” Arabs in Israel live in the worst housing, have the least education, the lowest paying jobs, the highest unemployment and the least amount of medical aid. Arabs charge that terrorisim and repression is used to keep them “in their places.” “The Sinai oil wells have been taken over and are supplying all of Israel’s oil requirements, explains Mr. Lumer, and the occupied areas have been integrated into Israel’s economy “along semi-colonial lines,” providing Further expansion markets” and “cheap more border “profitable 1967, after In skirmishes, Israel’s Air Force labor.” Numerous resolutions have secretly attacked Arab Air Bases, been passed in the United Nations the bulk of Arab “destroying planes on the ground,” according condemning the expansionist policies of Israel.

Border skirmishes continued, and in 19S6, Israel invaded Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, terming it as an act of “self-defense.” But Anthony Nutting, in No End ofa Lesson, describes a plot between Israel, France and Britain to attack Egypt, ostensibly to reverse the nationalization of the Suez Canal by Egypt’s Abdul Nasser, and to hault Nasser’s aid to the Algerian National Liberation Front, which was waging a struggle for national independence against French colonialism. The plot failed, according to Mr. Nutting, and Israel had to withdraw her forces from the Sinai. This episode substantiates the charge that Israel had joined forces with powerful imperialist countries to increase power and wealth.

State without Arabs Michael Bar-Zohar, author of the book Ben-Gurion writes that Ben-Gurion’s feeling about the Arabs was that “the fewer there were living within the frontiers of the new Jewish State, the better he would like it.” Bar-Zohar reflects: “While this might be called racialism, the whole Zionist movement actually was based on the principle of a purely Jewish community in Palestine.” The Arab Information Center maintains that Israel continually waged attacks across the partition and armistice lines, in order to fulfill their religious-political beliefs, andt were continually censured by the United Nations. - , / y Tel: 836-6100 \ Mon.

Project Chairman Jeff Baker is also contacting other student organizations, in hopes of uniting their “Black Christmas” spirit. Community organizations, department stores, and dry cleaners have volunteered to lend their services to the project, but according to a project spokesman, organizations within the University structure have been far less responsive. Last year the students planned a Christmas dinner at a neighborhood church. One student, hwo has been involved in the drive for the past two years said, “Noboday was greedy. They just took what they needed.” Students interested in assisting the BSU with “Black Christmas” should call them at 831-1830, or stop by their office in 355 Norton Hall. * ' • Questions still unanswered Martin Sostre, convicted in 1968 on narcotics and other related charges, has appealed his case to the New York State Court of Appeals on the grounds that the sole witness for the prosecution recanted his testimony. If a favorable decision is reached, it would be the first time a changed testimoney has produced a new trial without the consent of the prosecution. Mr. Sostre was charged on July 15, 1967, with possession and sale of narcotics. The charges were based on the testimony of Arto Williams, a drug addict. Mr. Sostre was eventually convicted in 1968 and sentenced to 30 to 40 years in prison. He was 44 years old at the time. In a sworn statement six years later, Mr. Williams says he never bought any narcotics from the accused and that he agreed to help frame Mr. .• University Assembly votes to alter format The University Assembly recently passed a proposal altering its structure by replacing the previous 87 member, grass roots representation with the Presidents of its constituent groups(Student Association, Graduate Student Association, and Faculty-Senate. Presided over by University President Robert Ketter, the new “Council of Chairman” will determine what issues fall under the jurisdiction of the Assembly and procedures for passing legislation. Previously, the Assembly was unable to handle any problems because “it lacked jurisdiction in any area of concern,” said Assembly Chairman Dave Saleh, an undergraduate. Under the new structure, Mr. Saleh feels there will be a coordinated effort tying constituent groups and the Assembly together. The new structure promotes a tighter governance organization, thereby eliminating much of the confusion generated by so many groups operating independently of each other, Mr. Saleh emphasized. “Hopefully,”he said, “University Assembly actions will be more acceptable to the student community.” Mr. Saleh hopes the new body will not only review issues, such as athletics and health care, but handle the question of governance itself and what direction it should take. ‘We will keep reviewing as a grop,” he said, inferring that improvements will continue. hv'.O V Martin Sostre \\ Snow?

Tying in Use of telephones explained University faculty members have taken courses the in proper use of campus telephones. Michael Day, assistant accountant with the Chief Accountant's Office, and representatives of the telephone company, started conducting seminars in tie-line and long-distance calling last year after two students living in the Governors Residence Halls mistakenly received the phone bill for the entire Amherst campus approximately S9.000. The S9.000 figure came largely from faculty at the Law School making direct, long distance calls within New York State instead of wailing for a tie-line, which gives unlimited long distance calls for a flat rate. Charles Balkin. assistant vice-president and Controller of Financial Services, explained that during certain parts of the day, the tie-line is extremely busy, causing some people to become impatient and dial direct, thereby increasing the phone bill needlessly. Mr. Balkin said about $250,000 was spent on unnecessary toll calls. Mr, Balkin characterized this as “not abuse, but rather an HHVE - oversight.” Toll calls have decreased in the past year for several reasons, Mr. Day said. Last year, the Amherst campus did not have its own tie-liene operators and calls had to be channelled through the Main Street campus operators. “This caused problems,” Mr. Day said and resulted in people making direct calls because of constant busy signals.” “ -■ .

But Mr. Day noted that “as a result of these actions taken, the situation has definitely improved.” HAPPY Page tep . Also, many people were unaware of the correct use, and sometimes even the existence of the tie-line. The Amherst campus now has its own tie-line operators and the seminars have taught faculty about the tie-line. Mr. Day sent letters to all department heads last February explaining how to use the tie-line to cut down on direct toll calls and how to prevent unauthorized use of the phones for personal calls. �Food shortages Triage and hungry nations A State University at Buffalo economist observed that with worldwide food shortages becoming more acute, the concept of “triage” as it applies to hungry nations is starting to be taken more seriously in international circles. John C.G. Boot, Professor of Management Science, explains that under this concept, food relief efforts would be directed toward developing nations that appear to have the best chances of becoming self-sufficient in food production, perhaps at the expense of other nations whose prospects are grim. In medical emergencies, triage refers to the practice of sorting casualties into three groups for treatment: those who will die whatever happens, those who will survive whatever happens, and those whose lives depend on prompt medical attention. Dr. Boot, who visits the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization each June in Rome, says the issue of triage is now being brought out into the open and is no longer discussed only flippantly. The economist reports that representatives are starting to argue against food aid on a “squeaking wheel” basis. They suggest, if food shortages increase, it might be better to write off aid to nations where wholesale deaths are inevitable in the long run; and instead concentrate the right kind of assistance in areas which lack food but have a fighting chance to become productive or self-sufficient in the future.

Can cultural and intellectual abilities be developed, or are they genetically inherited? These and other related questions will be the focal point of Jensenism and the Crisis in Education, a new Social Sciences College course to be offered this spring. Roger Woock, chairman of the Social, Philosophical and Historical Foundations of Education Department, said Jensenism, the theory that some races are inferior to others, strikes a serious blow at the university as an education institution designed to develop cultural and intellectual capacity. The course is the result of the combined efforts of Prof. Woock, James Lawler, professor of philosophy, and several graduate students who have investigated the eugenics theories of William Shockley and other Jensenites. The concepts of I.Q. and intelligence as related to racism and the situation in schools today will be explored, along with the theo'ry that differences in intelligence of children in the United States is the result of education environments, not heredity. The course has scheduled several noted guest lecturers, among them Prof. Richard Lewontin Director of Harvard University’s Anthropological Museum and Prof. Brian Simon of the University of Luster, England, a noted expert on I.Q. testing and evaluation. Dr. Woock explianed that he does not expect black students to be “outraged” over the course, but indicated that some professors might be. , FOREIGN CAR SERVICE 838-6200 2820 Bailey at Kensington Expy.

Wilk, presented by Wilk’s Parks Project last week in the Harriman Studio. What happens in P4 (the full title has been nominated for the Agnew Annual Ameliorative or, rather Alliteration Award) is, indeed, a party than gauntlet-cum-fencing match known to us all as The Modern Party wherein one is knee-deep in facades, falsehoods, and all that other flotsam from Eric Berne’s Games People Play, copies of which are lying about on the tables for easy reference by the participants. ... , — — Game of life Our viewpoint is that of John Simonetti, played by John Simonetti. I’m not trying to he cute; the protagonist is clearly not the actor so named. The play’s Simonetti has experienced a symbolic birth, the first event in the play, and an encounter with the “female ensemble,” whose rhythmic, relentless pounding eventually drowns out Simonetti’s voice. At the play’s end, Simonetti dies. He is totally contained in the play; he has no existence outside it. He brings a somewhat Graduated presence to the party, where the password is not “swordfigh,” but machos. Toupees, for example, are a big conversational topic not merely wigs, but chest toupees (there actually are such things). Jon Roller, playing someone by the same name, drags Simonetti through a fairly literal recreation of Roller’s lion hunt in Kenya, ending in Roller’s total humiliation at his own failure. Wildlife as a masculine metaphor appears frequently, expecially in the person of a Mrs. Robinsonian Marcia Wiesenfeld who attempts to arouse the “tiger” in Simonetti. — Virility rites The manly art of sport supplies the play with its very structure. It’s divided into nine innings (i.e., scenes), all but one of which are described as “John Simonetti vs. .. The intermission is the “Seventh Inning Stretch.” In addition, the cast enters carrying white sneakers and out of costume; they proceed to “suit up” as the party scenes begin. (Why baseball? Because football would have provided only four scenes, I suppose, and hockey only three.) And, in the best Gillette Foamy tradition, there are periodic commercial interruptions for various virility tonics. P4' s motive is not trenchant commentary on human foibles, and the play is least rewarding when this is forgotten: Simonetti's opening monologue is pretty murky, and the symbolism is less than subtle. Instead, it focuses on the concept of observation. Successful playing of Berne’s ’‘games” requires an “viewing people as attitude of detachment characters, not as people,” in Jeff Brooks’ phrase. But the Party-Players arc characters, not people characters both as theatrical agents and as gamesmen using masks as shields. (At the moment. I’m thinking of classical Greek theatre.) As surely as the Party-Players are coolly observing each other, we are observing them. And at the play's end, they sit and watch us. The highway now runs two ways. — - Party poopers Problems; three main ones. First, the cast lets the play’s improvisatory structure run too loosely, especially in Jon Roller's sequences, which are a good deal too long. Second, he device of Simonetti halting the party to ask advice of Wilk, who is seated in the front row, is very contrived and of minimal value. When I saw the play, it was under Harriman’s normal lighting; no “stage” lights were used. Not only was it difficult to concentrate on the stage area for this reason, but there were several occasions when something as simple as a single spotlight could have effectively focused audience attention on a specific person or event, instead of leaving it diffused. Both the ideas and the execution inP4 have definite raw edges, and the party situation may not be the best way to deal with some of the work’s aspects. But it does reveal some fascinating perspectives which definitely merit further exploration. (About that ten-spot, John; $8.98 will square things quite nicely . .)

Federal anti-trust action under way, say AT&T illegal monopoly WASHINGTON (LNS) The Justice Department announced on November 20 that it is beginning action to break up the nation’s largest privately owned corporation. The suit to divest American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) of its major subsidiary. Western Electric, and some of its other concerns, is the largest antitrust action in United States history. The government has charged that AT&T has an illegal monopoly over the telecommunications business, a charge even AT&T officials find difficult to refute. The huge communications company controls over 80 percent of all phone calls in the United States and about 90 percent of all long distance calls, while the left over business is handled by the 1700 non-Bell companies in the U.S. In addition, its wholly owned subsidiary, Western Electric, manufactures nearly all of the phone equipment used by the Bell System. AT&T’s 1973 assets of $67 billion were approximately the same as the combined assets of the next twenty top-ranking utility companies. And its net income of $2.99 billion in 1973 put it ahead of Exxon and General Motors in income. Because of its total dominance in the industry, AT&T was able to maintain an annual dividend rate of $9 per share through the darkest days of the depression. — Single entity John D. deButts, chairman of AT&T, responded to the antitrust suit by defending the control his firm has over the telecommunications industry. “The telephone network, to work effectively, must be designed, built and operated as a single entity,” he said. “It is for this reason and no other that the Bell System is structured as it is.” And “structured as it is,” AT&T is a classic model of vertical integration. At the one end is the Bell Telephone Laboratories, the source of most of the technology that has spread through the communications industry and holder of thousands of patents. At the opposite end are the 23 domestic AT&T Three year wait AT&T’s worries are at least years away, if they ever materialize at all. According to the Justice Department, the AT&T suit won’t even come to trial “for at least three years,” and the Wall Street Journal speculates that appeals “could stretch out the proceedings to a decade or more.” A similar suit to divest AT&T of Western Electric was brought in 1949 by the Truman Administration. The suit was settled without divestiture seven years later, in 1956, under the Eisenhower Administration. Information that became public in 1958 made the favorable AT&T ruling one of the major scandals of the Eisenhower years. In the present suit AT&T is expected to argue that since the government failed in its efforts to divest Western Electric in 1956 it should not be allowed to try again. That antitrust actions can be used by the government to give the appearance of “getting tough with business” is certainly shown in U.S. history. The antitrust actions of the early 20th century that “broke up” Standard Oil certainly did not slow the momentum of the Rockefeller family in establishing a world-wide empiie. In fact, radical historial Gabrial Kolko argues that the seemingly progressive antitrust legislation of the early 1900’s was in fact pushed by big business as a way to head off anti-corporate and anti-capitalist feelings among the people. Perhaps most revealing is an exchange between industrialists Henry Clay Frick and Andrew Carnegie reported by Mr. Kolko in his book. The Triumph of Conservatism. When Democratic trust-buster Grover Cleveland defeated William Henry Harrison in 1892, Frick wrote to Carnegie, “1 am very sorry for President Harrison, but I cannot see that our interests are going to be affected one way or the other by the change in administration.” Mr. Carnegie replied, “Cleveland! Landslide! Well, we have nothing to fear and perhaps it is best. People will now think the Protected Manufacturers will be attended to and quit agitating. Cleveland is a pretty good fellow. Off for Venice tomorrow.” telephone companies plus the Canadian system. And in the middle is Western Electric, taking Bell Lab’s technology and putting it inot the Bell System’s operations. Western Electric itself was ranked by Fortune magazine as 12th in 1973 revenues among all U.S. industrial corporations. Its reported revenues for that year were $7 billion, slightly more than United States Steel. Western Electric’s total 1973 earnings of $315 million were exceeded by only . 17 companies. And 88 percent of Western’s 1973 sales were to the Bell System. The rest were to the Defense Department. Large employment The enormous system of Bell Labs, Western Electric, and the Bell System employs some 1,010,000 people, making it second only the Federal Government as an employer. If successful, the antitrust suit would require AT&T to divest itself of Western Electric, and require Western Electric to split into two or more operating companies. In addition, AT&T would be required to either get out of long-distance phone business to a certain extent or keep the lon-distance business and get rid or some or all of the 23 local phone companies it owns. (Of these 23, AT&T owns 17 outright, and its shares in the other six range from 17 to 99.3 percent.) The suit also leaves open the possibility that the Justice Department may take action at a later date to divest AT&T of Bell Labs. Although the Justice Department suit against AT&T sounds good on paper, what to expect from it is another question. The huge corporation has been under this particular investigation for the past fourteen months and during that period there were charges that the Nixon White House was deliberately sabotaging the proceedings. This has led many people to speculate that the AT&T suit was brought at this live to give the Ford administration a “get tough with business" image.

Page thirteen �Editorial WRESTLING Charter Women's Studies What is the point of having a Women's Studies College if certain of its courses cannot exclude men? The significance of this question has apparently escaped members of the College Chartering Committee, and President Robert Ketter is likely to feel no differently as he deliberates whether to accept the Committee's recommendations. It would be sadly ironic if one of the University's most innovative and educationally rewarding programs went out the window simply because a handful of supposedly aware men and women co not realize that men have been excluded from certain courses as a means of fighting, rather Jhan reversing discrimination. Women In Contemporary Society, one of the courses that has excluded men, is an introductory seminar which offers many women their first thorough exposure to the role of women in the modern world. The course moves from a consciousness-raising introduction to a social analysis of the position of women. Because the Women's Studies College is aware of the complexities of studying women as a "category", class members are encouraged to write personal histories so a connection can be drawn between their personal experiences and a sexist society. Since the underlying goal of the course is to create an atmosphere where women can break through deeply-infixed stereotypes, how can the course succeed if the presence of men will only reinforce those very stereotypes. Relegating the classes to a forum for debating whether we do in fact live in a sexist society, rather than proceeding from the premise that the existence of sexism is a non-debateable fact, would make them inconsistent with their goals and absolutely worthless. Opponents of the College's exclusionary policies are quick to cite Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, which is designed to end sex disdrimination in education, as justification for asking the College to begin a no-holds barred open door policy for men. According to a variety of legal opinions, however, the exclusion of men could be defended under the law if it can be shown to facilitate the successful completion of the educational program in question. In every conceivable way, excluding males from courses like Women In Contemporary Society and Self-Help is what makes them a success. When opponents of Women's Studies argue that ignorance is one of the bases of sexism, they overlook the fact that allowing men into the courses in question only nurtures the ignorance if it inhibits women from exploring how sexism has affected their personal lives. Rather than rally to the shallow cry of reverse discrimination, educators at a supposedly modern institution would be better off thinking about, in as conceptual a way as they possibly can, the necessity of having courses that are for women only.

Page fourteen The Spectrum Wednesday, II December 1974 , . TRB from Washington December II, 1974 We were talking to the Outer Space Man (OSM) the other day, a quite interesting chap despite his three heads. Sometimes when terrestrial problems get a bit too much for us we like to chat with Mr. OSM. He takes a cool, clinical interest in Earth people, with a touch of humor and sympathy. There are several thousand small planets in his jurisdiction, he tells us, at about the Earth’s state of evolution. He has charming manners and a nice suburban home on the other side of the Galactic Dark Spot. We communicate by empathy but for readers it goes better in English. What worried us for the moment, we told him, was Old Mrs. Zabriskie. She is a quiet humble earth-dweller with humdrum details: income SI05 a month in a walk-up, cold-water flat in St. Louis, and lives alone. Her total assets are under SI500 and she gets a fortnightly Social Security check, from which she takes $18 a month to buy food stamps at a concessional rate; for S 18 she gets S46 in food stamps. But President Ford has just announced that he is going to trim food stamp benefits by $750 million to $ 1 billion on March 1, 1975, to aid the budget. Inflation, you see: that’s our Number One Enemy. This means that Old Mrs. Zabriskie will have to ante up $31 a month instead of $18 to get $46 in food stamps. The Ford proposal will affect 95 percent of 15 million under the plan. Then there is poor Mr. Jones, disabled from and living on $ 146 a month (rent S 11 2). Up till now he used $15 to purchase his $23 fortnightly in food stamps. But he will be hit by the Ford budget economy even harder than Old Mrs. Zabriskie: after March 1, he must pay $21.50 for his fortnightly $23 in food stamps. It won’t be worth taking the long bus trip to the food stamp office. We told this to our interplanetary visitor. “Surely,” empathized Mr. OSM, “your what-do-you-call-it, your Congress, will object? You have explained to me . . .” “Congress doesn’t need to approve,” we interrupted. “The president can change food stamp rates without legislation. He needs authorization for two other proposed economies: he wants to save a billion by cutting Medicare benefits for the elderly, and $400 million from social security. But on food stamps he can act alone.” “I understand,” Mr. OSM said politely, “that on your planet the poor are expected to carry most of the load. But this variant is interesting. Will there be opposition?” “Perhaps so, if the public understands,” we replied doubtfully. “Mr. Ford told us in a press conference last week, however, that he had merely required ‘certain individuals, who wanted food stamps, to pay slightly more to qualify.’ For Old Mrs. Zabriskie and poor Mr. Jones ‘slightly more’ means going a couple of days a month without food.” I could see Mr. OSM patiently trying to understand. “But aren’t' you all sacrificing,” he asked. “I believe all your foods have gone up.” “All up, and most for the poor,” we explained. “A pound of butter up nine percent terrible: but margarine is up 63 percent. Porterhouse steak has jumped 38 percent and the a fall - well-to-do are boycotting it but Old Mrs. Zabriskie hasn’t seen steak for five years. She they’re up 25 percent.” uses dried beans - + "1 am interested in your problems,” said Mr. OSM. “You have what you call your Congress?” “I think the Senate will vote against food stamp increases. The rub is the House, sir, particularly the Agriculture Committee (it’s called) packed with conservatives. However, there are 12 open seats on the committee now, Mr. OSM, if you understand. If we put some new men in there we may save Old Mrs. Zabriskie.” We gave a wink, but his attention was wandering. “On the economy,” he inquired, “anything new?” “Yes, real progress! The economic indicators keep dropping, but the President’s grasp is improving all the time. He now agrees there’s a have recession. That’s a breakthrough. We three problems, he says, Inflation, Recession and Energy (Inflation still No. 1). But Mr. Ford told us last week that our worst peril was not these, but anxiety. ‘Our greatest danger today,’ he said, ‘is to fall victim to the exaggerated alarms that are geing generated.’ We must put on our WIN button, and smile.” “The nuance escapes me,” said Mr. OSM. “At any rate you are making progress on arms - control?” “Why, yes,” I said. “At least I think so. We are moving triumphantly from breakthrough to breakthrough while the cost goes up. It’s a Little hard to explain.

Is that plain?” Our UFO visitor’s attention seemed to be wandering. We screwed up courage. “You get around,” we said. “You see a lot of small planets. Probably we all evolve much alike. Could you, would you, make any comparison for me. The Earth, I mean. It’s my globe and 1 love it.” It is not easy to fix the eye of a man with three heads, but we focussed on the middle one. while We must have shown concern. “Well,” he said, “don’t quote me but you are a very interesting case. Quite a text book specimen. We are all interested. You have 4 billion people- on Earth, no? Half of them hungry. Population growth, I note, has just broken through food growth, permanently, I believe. Population will double in 35 years, only of course, it can’t. Your own country (America, 1 think?) has 6 percent of the population, and uses 40 percent of annual available supplies.” “So what?” we pleaded. “Oh, nothing. Just the usual. I mean planets go through this process. In your case there’s the simultaneous weapon growth; quite a example; classic annual world military expenditures currently around $240 billion (larger than the total income of the poorer half of mankind).

Look around: Israel has enough plutonium for several A-bombs; the Arabs will have; India puts a nuclear explosion before - feeding her starving; proliferation proceeds . . “So,” we stammered, “what generally happens?” He looked at me meaningfully. “Sometimes they do; sometimes not come through, I mean. Oddly enough a lot may depend on how you - handle your Mrs. Zabriskie.” He saw my wondering look. “Yes, there seems to be a definite correlation, though we don’t fully understand it yet; the Mrs. Zabriskie quotient in Planetary Survival . . , Well, maybe I’ve said too much.

Hitler thought the same as Ms. Steinem and 1 am sure the very same students that deplored what Hitler did were brainwashed with her so-called intellectual talks. Whether a human is 90 or unborn yet, it’s still a human being and abortion is murder. a woman name withheld upon request Don’t look now, but we have done in another semester. Granted there may be a few little odds and ends like exams and pepers and who knows what all else left for some of you, the end is nevertheless nigh. For me it is the more or less usual “How the hell did that happen? It was right here a minute ago, how could anything disappear that fast?” Poof! And in a cloud of strange blue vapor the semester vanished before his amazed eyes. My neurosis functions such that it is hard for me to stay in touch with the things that I did get done this semester. What 1 tend to be more aware of, painfully more aware of, are the things which are yet undone. Which seems to be an unfortunately prevalent way of looking at things, both internally and externally. Many of us seem much better equipped to live as pessimists than as optimists. Perhaps you are one of the more together folks who can come into this time of year, the semester and the year ending, without thinking about what you would like to change. What, after all, are New Year’s resolutions about except trying to deal with those parts of yourself which bother you, at least a little? This year things are going to be different. That’s what it says here. It said it right here somewhere what did I do with that piece of paper that I wrote all those wonderful ideas down on? (Little does he know that his crafty unconscious has struck again, and that poor innocent piece of paper shall never be uncovered.) Writing down what I want to get done next semester, and how I want to do it differently, is no great difficulty. Behaving differently is a problem of an entirely different nature. I hereby resolve that I will not get anxious next year. Wonderful idea. How does one in fact accomplish this worthy end? Could stay drunk a * lot, but then I get anxious about that, so it doesn’t exactly work. Change turns out to be a rather delicate phenomena. Either you want it badly enough so that you get down on it, and do it, or else it is always possible to find reasons why it is unsafe, unwise, or too damned scarey to behave differently. by Stme ■But enough philosophy. You will deal with the end of this semester somehow, and you will either come back or not, depending on you and your relations with the University and the world. (That is my standard cosmic wrap.) There is a clear problem with column to this point. The closest 1 can come to describing it is free association. Someone reacted to last week’s work as being a little loose around the edges, and I have an inkling that the construction of the current masterpiece may not in fact be following standard lines of construction. End of semester columns are murder for me. The problem seems to be a need to draw everything together, to synthesize it all down into one discrete gem of wisdom that will make all of us feel better. Which, it seems likely, is a trifle crazy. How the hell am I going to get the Holiday Season, the end of the semester, the economy, the political situation, and the indifferent quality of life in general into one small package that you probably don’t want to hear from me anyway? Weird, Steese, very wierd. Maybe we should just handle it sequentially and call it quits. Holiday Season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. If you are spending it with your family and you get off on that, congratulaiions. If you are spending it with your family and it is hard, it might help to remember that they probably know that too, and don’t know what to do about the situation any better than you do. If, on the other hand, it is bad, very bad, you might recall that the odds are that you are at least as all right as they are. Good luck, and don’t drive when you’re trying to change your head around with whatever. End of Semester. If it ain’t done by now, that is too bad. You might try not beating yourself up as much and try to patch it together as much as possible, and think about starting around the 1st of April - meetings with Dr. Ertell. Editor's note: The following statement was submitted by the U.B. Day Care Center, Inc. to The We have not yet received a copy of his October 27 proposal, which he promised to send to all the Spectrum. parents, and we have had no written response to our letters. Phone conversations have produced no definite information about the progress of the proposal. Up to this point, Dr. Ertell has been “unable” to meet with the parents and staff of the Day Care Center. However, there is a proposed meeting with Dr. Ertell and the Day Care Center on December 12, 1974. We have gathered some information from individuals working on the consortium. The following is briefly what we have been able to find The end of the semester is rapidly approaching. The question of whether or not there will be a Day Care Center next semester is still unanswered. There have been many articles and letters in the campus papers about the Day Care Center’s funding struggle. We would like to take this opportunity at the semester’s end to present a summary of what has happened in the past month so that Day Care supporters on campus know how matters stand with the Day Care Center as of now, December 6th. As reported in The Spectrum Nov. 1 and the Reporter Oct. 3 1, Dr. Ertell and other administrators offered a plan for the continuance of the Day Care Center to the U.B. Day Care Center parents on Sunday, Oct. 27. Their proposed plan (as summarized in the Reporter Oct. 31) stated: 1. that the University is serious in its desire to maintain the Center in operation for the balance of the current semester, for the second semester of this year, and thereafter. 2. that a consortium of academic schools and departments will undertake an immediate effort to design an academic program centering on the Day Care Center and to identify resource needs. 3. that there will be full consultation with parents in the program design. We have not been approached for “full consultation.” We have tried to get information from Dr. Ertell through letters and phone conversations regarding what “immediate effort” was being made. We have taken the initiative in trying to set up out. The consortium of academic departments is in the process of brainstorming and discussing plans for an academic program that would include an expanded model Day Care Center, but these plans are long-range plans. They are not plans that deal with how to continue this Center next semester. The consortium was not set up for funding, but for developing a viable academic program. At this point, the consortium is not taking responsibility for searching for funds. Most importantly, we have not been approached for consultation, as Dr, Ertell’s Oct. 27 proposal outlined. In light of the information we’ve been able to accumulate, the question that really needs to be addressed is, how serious is the University Administration in its intent to work for the Center’s continuance? The answer to that question will determine the future of the Center. Pragmatic bullshit for exactly the same reasons people are beginning to now; unresponsive administrators, mass oppression both sexist and national, the people’s most basic needs not being met and a press that was content to print official dogma at the expense of the truth.

It doesn’t make any difference if it is worth buying anything, buy it anyway. (Whoops, sorry, didn’t mean to mix the items. There is a distinct hint of the indifferent quality of life in that last remark.) All you selfish people who are out there worrying about how you are going to pay your bills are going to drive this company into serious financial difficulty. The political situation. My god, the Democrats did not commit suicide when they had the chance. What the hell does that mean? Having never seen that happen before how can anyone analyze the possible effects? Ridiculous. There must not have been a convention. How can you put 1200 Democrats in one place and not have somebody walk out. Preposterous.

Enjoy Maybe we can get it straightened out next year. ... We are well aware that this is not 1969 and what we would have to-say in answer to you is that this is 1959 either. We’re sorry to have to inform you that the “silent ’50’s" are “long gone.” One thing we did learn during the 60’s was how to deal with bureaucrats and careerists like yourself. The descent (sic) you have been so cynically been watching, around the Day Care Center and around Women’s Studies, is a tool which has been used for thousands of years by the oppressed to fight for their rights. The “pragmatism” voiced in Friday’s editorial brings to mind the Nixon-Agnew rhetoric of the Vietnam War years, when they could, no longer ignore the people’s righteous demands. I would be the first to vote in favor of cutting off all funds for The Spectrum A newspaper which is sadly out of date and under the control of the UB administration and state authorities. A paper which ignores its constituency’s needs and desires in favor of its staffs career interests in towing the authorities’ line.

The reasons people rebelled during the 60’s were not and insane war until late 1970 when what millions of young people had been saying for years could no longer be denied with the rational (sic) of “pragmatism.” (One of our nation’s greatest and most dubious self proclaimed pragmatists was, Richard Nixon) The people are rising to the challenge once again of the “misleaders” and lackies of what you describe as “the bureaucratic central body.” (In other circles they are referred to as the Ruling Class, the U.S. Imperialists or the Ruling Elites) And as th®£» momentus (sic) time approaches with the looming collapse of the economy, The Spectrum will see its mistakes and opportunism and change by its own volition or be crushed by the wrath of the oppressed.

Michael Douso Grossly inaccurate reporting To the Editor. “Are students short-changed by farcicial the title for a commentary on a representatives?” Food Service Advisory meeting. Let me try to clear up a few points for the readers of The Spectrum. My hope is two-fold: 1) Facts were grossly misstated and clouded under the guise of a commentary; 2) Frankly, I don’t believe the statements in the article represent either the true points of the discussions at the meeting or the way I conduct my - office. The reason, specifically, for this meeting was to discuss next semester’s board contracts. It bacame apparent quite early in the meeting that this was an impossible feat. Mr. Bozek was not trying to be evasive, but without an operating financial statement for even the first quarter, how can he realistically discuss next semester’s contracts? Ms. Zuckerman, only a reporter for four weeks, is then able to say “this stalling seems to be a trend with the acting Food Service Director.” At this point the article becomes absurd. When I read some of the statements I reportedly made, I asked myself, what happened to all the words in between the quotes? I’ve always thought that one uses dots when words are omitted from As far as the food coupon system goes, it is definitely true that the coupon system has “screwed” a lot of students out of a lot of money. For this reason, I questioned Mr. Bozek about making this more clear next semester. However, I the went to Student Association lawyer approximately five weeks ago to get a legal opinion on this semester’s coupon situation. Mr. Weber also did much research in this area. It was clear that it was stated in three places in the contract that the coupon books expired at the end of the semester. 1 wonder if Ms.iuckerman has ever done any research concerning Food Service. In fact, I wonder if she has ever even read a Food Service coatract. Certainly, she never came to me after the meeting and asked me what was going on. No, it was easier to criticize indignant, I guess because I did not want her at the meeting. The reason for that was that one tends to get reporters at these meetings who have no knowledge on the subject. They don’t ask questions then they report inaccurately. Finally, I too, would like to ask about students being short-changed. Are students short-changed by your inaccurate reporting and innuendo? Take a look at yourself Ms. Zuckerman, it’s always easier to criticize. - - Howard M.

Kent State concealment off To the Editor. To the Editor. Since December 8, 1974, there is a condition which exists in Norton Hall each cold day in Winter known as “Pneumonia Alley.” The wind whips through the first floor, causing temperatures to drop, so that working conditions are unhealthy to the individuals who work in Norton, especially those at the Information and Lobby Counters, and our Maintenance men, who are constantly on call. The employees lose many days each winter due to the colds, and illnesses caused by the necessity which forces them to remain on call and on duty, not to mention the money spent on doctor bills. These complaints have been on record as of that date, right up and through the Department of Facilities Planning, and each year the reason is NO — - MONEY FOR THIS CAPITAL EXPENDITURE. All is it because pleas for help have gone unanswered it only affects clerical and maintenance personnel? I am sure no administrator, if he or she were forced to work under these conditions, would tolerate the situation, and would probably not even show up for work until the situation was corrected. With the facilities of our Engineering and Architecture Schools, 1 was sure a solution would be forthcoming The decision by Judge Battisti to dismiss the legal'accusations against eight former Ohio.National Guardsmen merely continues the concealment of the murders at Kent State in a more disguised fashion. the instruments of legal By hiding behind technicalities the decision has accomplished a dual purpose. First, the acquittal seeks to camoflage the triumph of reaction under the pretense of having the charges dismissed through the trial process, sanctifying its “legality.” Secondly, the trial was terminated before the guardsmen were forced to testify preventing us once again from learning: Was there an order to fire given by the officers? What caused a group of armed troops to turn in unison firing into a crowd of anti-war demonstrators? As one of the students wounded in May. 1970, I am deeply angered by this judgment. Yet. while being personally outraged in the deepest sense, I can hardly claim astonishment at the outcome. Similar to the federal court actions nullifying the case against the Mississippi Highway Patrol for murdering Afro-American students at Jackson State, the verdict of Battisti vividly indicates which class justice serves. This, of course, is the class of financial rulers who first designed and assembled the legal apparatus. While it is understandable that many will be left cynical by the decision, our efforts at securing justice should not cease. Rather, we must intensify our attempts to struggle for democratic rights and against violent police repression. We would do well to remember, however, that future Jackson and Kent States are inevitable, being a manifestation of the rule of monopoly capitalism. It is our ultimate responsibility to eradicate the rule of war, injustice and aggression once and for all. Thomas M. Grace — but where is the money??

During the promotion of the Sexism, Racism and Black Feminism lecture, both Ms. Steinem and Ms. Galvin Lewis were given equal exposure. At the Upon lecture noth Ms. Steinem and Ms. Lewis were given equal time to speak on eqaully pertinent subject matter. Yet, in your coverage, you did not reflect this equal relationship between the two speakers. Any line-by-line coverage is undercut by the lack of Ms. Lewis’ photo. For after all, a picture is worth a thousand words. I’m sure many other students feel the same way I do about this unfortunate oversight. Craig Colton To the Editor. Does this University really consider aluminum tables and plugs “adequate cooking facilities?” It must, for that is, in essence, all that has been provided for the students living at Governor’s Residence Halls. The lack of proper facilities poses tremendous problems for the students. Because of this, many people have taken to cooking in their rooms, which is both unlawful and potentially dangerous, but nevertheless inevitable, since there are just not enough “plugs” to go around. It is the obligation of the University to provide a safe and equitable alternative to those students who prefer to cook. To alleviate this problem, the University and more adequate should provide cooking facilities. Peter Hill Page sixteen The Spectrum Wednesday, 11 December 1974 . To the Editor The following is in response to the letter which appeared in the Dec. 9 issue of The Spectrum. In his letter. Mr. George J. Glacaman makes a few erroneous statements, takes things out of context, and appears to view the situation in the Near hast like a man X0 percent blind. In paragraph three he makes his biggest error which would seem more like an outright lie. “The Palestinians did not become refugees because of the |94X war. but the war resulted because the Palestinians were dispossessed and evicted from their homes and land." In correcting you Mr. Glacaman. I will not use the traditional Israeli. American and other Western documentation, but will allow the Arabs to speak for themselves. Semptember 6, 1948: Beirut Telegraph Mr. Emile Ghoury, Secretary of the Palestine Arab Higher Committee: “The fact that there are these refugees is the direct consequence of the Arbs states in opposing parition . . . the Arab States agreed upon this policy unanimously, and they must share in the solution of the problem.” February 19, 1949; Falastin (Jordanian Daily Newspaper) “The Arab States which No response had encouraged Palestine Arabs to leave their homes in order to be out of the way of the Arab invasion armies, have failed to keep their promises to help these refugees.” October 12, 1963; Akhbar El-Y Om (Cairo Daily Newspaper) “15 May 1948 arrived on that very day the Mufti (of Jerusalem) appealed to the Arabs of Palestine to leave the country, because the Arab armies were about to enter and fight in their stead against the Jewish gangs and oust them from Palestine.” There have been many U.N. resolutions. The one that could have produced peace in the Near East was passed on November 29, 1947. That resolution giving birth to the Jewish State of Israel and an Arab State in Palestine. Up until this day, Mon. Dec. 9, 1974 there has yet to be a single Arab State that recognizes that resolution as valid and, as a result recognizes the Jewish State’s right to existence. Here lies the crux of the issue. There is no recognition by any Arab authority of Israel’s right to exist as an independent Jewish State. There is therefore no basis for negotiation or peace and there will be no real negotiation or peace until there is that recognition. If you do not believe that these facts that I have mentioned are the truth or that they exist, Mr. Glacaman, you are invited to Room 346 Norton to see them for yourself, in print. ... Samuel M.

As a parent in the Day Care Center I feel you analysis of Day Care tactics in the Dec. 5 issue of The Spectrum (trying to regain past protest feelings, the administration’s resistance and student apahty) is completely accurate. There has been NO substantive response. We would accept “academic justification.” None has been offered. 1 fully expect that late this week, during finals and after no more issues of the paper are avilable, we will be told that the University is $300,000 in debt and since we have found no “justification” we will have to go. The speculation about a department-related Day Care Center is just a smoke screen, a pie in the sky model Day Care Center that may be dropped as soon as this Center disappears. And if it is not dropped, it still cannot possibly be implemented in less than a year or two. However, you leave one very wrong impression. You seem to say we “day care advocates” have refused to accept a realistic proposal, that is, a day care with “academic justification.” On Oct. 27, at a Day Care Center general meeting with Dr. Ertell, we voted to accept his to operate the day care center proposal providing an academic program focused on the center and designed to meet the educational needs of Nothing concrete is being done to allow a day children and educational goals of the University can care center of any kind to survive here next be designed and supported by faculty of the semester.

The music is in orchestration, very medieval in the use of modal harmonies, in the baroque vocal arrangements. The singers are dressed in robes. They sing, in proper British tones: Down with sex and sin, down with pot, heroin Down with pornography, down with lust Down with vice, lechery and — debauchery. They minuet between verses. On the screen behind them, turn-of-the-century porno stills flicker in succession. Shades of the Dark Ages, the Inquisition, the Victorian Age, hypocricy, all in a flash. Ray Davies also shone within this framework. It’s pretty obvious that there’s more than a touch of the hammy vaudevillian in him, and he really got a chance to demonstrate. He snapped off corny jokes like: “I’ve got a melancholy baby. She’s got a body like a melon and a head like a cauliflower (yuk yuk).” In the role of Flash, he “goes on TV” (stands inside a cardboard front of a TV, held up by two Floosies) to tell his side of the story to the nation. In his best Art Fern voice: They say I'm the scum of the earth They say I’m the scab of the trilbies They’ve got no style. Ain’t it a pity We don’t cry, even though it’s true, and we should. The vocal renditions by all the singers were quite excellent. A lot depended on those renditions, which had as much effect on the impact of the songs as anything else. But Belle was apathetic to the hilt, whoever it was that sang “Mirror of Love” was sufficiently raunchy to be into the sado-masochistic trip the song describes, and Davies, of course was magnificent, slithering and slimy or pompous and pretentious.

We think the right to determine whether the presence of men is appropriate in certain classes is a vital component part of that right to self determination. Historically such terms as “mankind,” “fellow man,” “brotherhood” and masculine pronouns (he, him, etc.) have been used to stand for all human beings. This reflects the ideology of sexist societies. The Chartering Committee’s creation of a false issue around WSC’s generic use of the word “she” is really an attack on the right of women both in and outside of WSC to effectively address issues relevant to their own lives in the most concrete and meaningful way for women. In a society where the ruling class (represented at the University by the Administration) can only be served by the oppression of the masses, it is crucial that all people recognize the source of their oppression and unite in a struggle to smash the oppressor: monopoly capitalism. Cutbacks by the ruling class of social services to working class people, women, and minority groups, are a direct attack on the existence of these people. The struggle over the right of people to have control over the institutions that directly affect their lives (Women’s Studies, day care centers) represents the people fighting back against the ruling class, who attempt to maintain the class system that only serves ruling class needs.

He doesn’t respond to mail from large organizations, including the government,' and answers the phone with a mock weather forecast unless he recognizes a friendly voice. He is intolerant of the bullshit of the outside world. The plot revolves around the attempts of the New York City Bureau of Child Welfare to take Nick away because of an “unsuitable home environment” (Murray is unemployed, and what is even worse, unmarried), despite the very apparent affection between Nick and Murray. When several months of phone calls and letters from the Bureau fail to reach Murray, the team of psychologist Dr. Sandra Markowitz (played by BarbarA Mink) and social worker Albert Amundson (Sid Ehrenreich) shows up to examine the situation firsthand. The pair walks into the house one morning as two engaged professionals and have changed greatly by the end of their session with Murray. Mr. Amundson can only deal with him on a nearly clinical level (every third word being “professional”), while Murray will only answer on a practical, experiential level. Dr. Markowitz, on the other hand, senses that the case should be examined on grounds other than the ones in the book. Several arguments between Sandra and Amundson ensue, and by the end of the session, Sandra has forsaken her fiance and her job. After a tearful afternoon, she 1 tentatively moves in with Murray After Amundson returns to he’s the biggest phony in the world. Murray keeps it hidden to get the job back. Nick, who hasn’t been told of the Bureau’s decision, also hates the emcee but shows it. When Murray sends Nick off to his “alcove” (it’s a one-room apartment) and takes the job from Herman, Nick accuses him of selling out, of prostituting himself for respectability. Murray knows he’s right, but all he can do is grimace. He loves Nick too much to tell him what was at stake. In the end, Murray, Nick, and Sandra are united as a respectable (more or less) lousehold although Sandra ieems to be the only one really and it looks like tappy about it Nick will stay. To their credit, the members of the Jewish Center production Jon’t treat the ending as a happy -one.

Murray gives a monologue about why he wants to keep Nick, why he wants him to know the difference between chairs and people, and why he wants to give him a little individuality in a mass world. Sandra nods, but doesn’t have the slightest idea of what he’s talking about. Murray goes to his brother Arnold (Irv Weinstein), who’s a network executive, and ends up swallowing his pride and getting his old job back. In telling him to do so, Arnold delivers, a fine monologue explaining that although he might be an inhibited executive who’s not doing what True clowns Tom Mardirosian, the only he wants, he is doing the best he can. The host of the kiddie show, professional actor in the cast, Leo Herman (played by Grant untangles the complex of Walker), comes over to Murray’s emotions and values that is Murray to near-perfection.

Terror and anxiety merge, not only within the paper and sculptural mass, but within the mind and soul of the viewer. Only a master like abstract expressionist Willem De Kooning could inject such energy and horror, usually reserved for larger, more “major” works, into small drawings and sculptures. The present exhibition of these works at the Albright-Knox Gallery, which 19, continues through January demonstrates that for De Kooning the monumental in art is not dependent on size, but on the unity of form and conception. Spanning over forty years, the drawings reflect the development of De Kooning’s oil paintings and their motifs the human figure (expecially that of the female), the landscape, and pure abstraction. Yet, the graphic works are not subservient to the paintings; instead, they are independent and totally complete in both conception and form. Their excellence and force establishes them as the focal point of the exhibition. — No more fine lines In the majority of De Kooning’s works the “fine line” that separates painting and drawing is totally erased; brush and charcoal strokes merge into one, with the result that painting becomes drawing and drawing becomes painting. The graphics of this exhibition are no exception. Sweeping paint-like gestures dominate, and smudging and erasures create a brush-like blending effect. His non-objective ink drawings are totally paint-like with their bold black brushstrokes, yet they have the linearity traditionally associated with drawings. It is the personal gesture and the energy it unleashes that De Kooning creates by wiping away that “fine line.” And in the great abstract expressionist tradition, it is the process, the act of creating art, that his drawings center on. In his drawings, the images become the foundation for exploring the structure, elements, and processes of art. Forms that constitute the basic image, such as eyes, are echoed throughout and form an architectural setting where the harmonies and tensions of design are brought into play. Erasures, redefinition of lines, overlapping of forms all reveal thought processes of the artist as he creates the work of art. Yet, these echoes of the act of creation do not distract from the whole, but are intrinsically part of the total conception. Small but vicious Although the process is a key to the violent nature of the works, the images themselves are not exactly peaceful. Large glaring eyes, grinding teeth, voluptuous the same agony and anxiety that pervades breasts, massive hips, and spiky shoes his figurative works. That spirit is definitely not weakened in devour the viewer. Stringy hair becomes an Kooning’s sculptures. Deformity to De entagling net for anyone who dares reaches its height in these clay figures colors come near.

These dominated De Kooning’s art are no less wickedly while limbs are retched out of vicious in small drawings than they are in their sockets and placed on a nearby bench. But, again, it is not so much the his large oils. Every line, erasure, and blank space is figurative motif that is the key to the filled with boundless energy, and all works as it is the surface, the gesture, the combine to convey a mad maenad of act of creation. De Kooning’s swipes of Dionysian rites, or, in a more energy are brought to three-dimensional existence through the easy malleability of contemporary analogy, a vampire-like more realistic movie goddess.

Editor's Curtis Bennet Arthur J. Lalonde Jr. A disgruntled student No the "Yes' review To the Editor In reference to Ms. Wos’ review of possibly the finest concert that Buffalo will experience this year: it shits. She obviously shows herself to belong to that mindless mass of Grand Funk, Bobby Rydell freaks. Tell me, how much of Yes have you seen? Evidently very little. Your snide comments about the set, granted that it is gimmicky, the set which would appear to be one of the most finely engineered, useful and original in many a year, shows your inexperience in the technical aspects of the concert and the effect that the stage itself adds to the totality of the show. Tell me please, when was the last time any groups attempted half the effects of Yes, and was able to pull them off? Was it perhaps the old Fillmore(s)? The degree that the set and the effects used contributed to the show merit them being recognized as more than “a cute little outhouse.” And the music. Being extremely familiar with the work of Yes, and having seen them on every U.S. tour that they've done, I would not rate this concert as the best. For almost any of the innumerable other groups who perform here it would have been great, but for a Yes concert it was just very good. They are perfectionists in their show and usually the tightest band around. This time they were not as light as usual, possibly because of the newness o* Moraz to the group. He was off at the beginning of the show, but later got better. Moraz is not Wakeman, not by a long shot. He is not nearly as classically oriented as Wakeman, but plays more like a Keith Emerson, but far superior. If you have trouble getting into their music and they bore you (. . . “overstretching themselves . . .") don’t see them or say anything about them until you are capable of understanding them. Their music is made to be listened to, tasted, savored, followed and meditated upon. No one else can or does perform and write the intricate works that Yes does. Their individual pieces are like themes, movements concertos, with separate throughout . stand Lastly, how can you argue that they in place like statues with smiles painted on their faces . . .”? Firstly, they do move around quite a lot, didn’t you see Chris Squire’s antics? Secondly, if you want to go to a concert to see some clowns bopping . around on a stage, clowns, I might add, incapable of playing decent music, then go see the New York Dolls, Grand Funk, or Golden Earring, not Yes. Yes is perhaps one of the most humble groups, not at all on a superstar trip, in regards to their music and performance. No group could enjoy or be so involved in what they do more than Yes. And no one could do what Yes does set-wise, effect-wise, and musically. It is truly a shame that the majority are not ready to appreciate or say “YES.” Steven Milligram □ID YOU LOSE $67.00 You did, if you haven’t filled out the S.R.

WITH THESE Arab terrorist last month, and has pledged to “try the hijackers.” In the Daily World, November 9, journalist Tom Foley explains that the PLO opposses terrorism, and views terrorist acts as an excuse for Israel to massacre helpless Arab refugees. Mr. Foley writes: “The terrible losses they (Palestinian Arabs) suffered from the terrorist acts of the sinister “Black September” group (never associated with the PLO in any way), which carried out the Munich massacres, led Arafat to demand PLO court-martials for terrorists.” It is racist and destructive to equate all Arabs with the acts of a few criminal terrorists, just as it would be incorrect to equate all Americans with the terroristic acts of the Klu Klux Klan or the American Nazi Party. What then does the PLO want? Arafat has made this clear over and over: “We are not trying to kick anyone into the sea. Our ultimate strategic aim is to create a united, democratic Palestine in which Christians, Jews and Moslems can live together in terms of equality. This will come aboutwhen a new generation of Israelis grows up and understands the mistakes of the older group” the mistakes of Zionist philosophy. — Jews and Arabs united Israel must return all occupied lands seized in the 1967 war immediately, and steps must be taken by the U.N. to relieve the misery of the displaced Arabs. Bilateral talks must then proceed between Israel and the PLO to determine the structure of a united Palestine which will bring peace to the Middle East. Mr. Arafat concludes: “There are already many signs that this is being understood inside Israel . . I not only hope the Israelis one day will accept this, but I predict that they will.” .

Eaat/Thruway Exit B2E - Vomado, Inc, 1874 �Basketball Bulls bow to Niagara by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer “We just had a bad game,” assessed Buffalo Basketball coach Leo Richardson, following the Bulls’ 77-58 loss to Niagara Monday night. The Bulls were not at all tike the tean that had beaten Long Island University last week; the patience they displayed then was gone and so was their outside shooting. “We just don’t have the guards to match their guards,” said richardson. “[Chico] Singleton is the best guard I’ve seen all year. He was the key to their success.” Singleton beat the Bulls sowncourt on several occassions and scored easy lay-ups. The Bulls frontcourt did better, despite the presence of two 6-8 freshman in the Purple Eagles’ lineup, for the first time this year, the Bulls outrebounded their opponents (69-48), but the horrendous shooting (26 percent) nullified the advantage. Jim Slayton led the way for Buffalo with 18 caroms, whle Sam Pellom pulled down 17. Total subbing At one point, Niagara coach Frank Layden substituted all five spots at once, a rare move. “They practice as a unit,” Layden noted. “It gave us a nice rest. Vem [Watson] played the whole game last time and I’ve got to give him and Bruce [Allen] a rest.” the Purple Eagels also switched to a zone defense, a break from the traditional man-to-man they usually play. “We’re doing this to stop fouling,” Layden explained. The zone was primarily responsible for keeping Pellom out of the Bulls offense. It also forced the Bulls to shoot from the outside instead of going for the good percentage penetration shots. Bad clock The Bulls could not get their shots to drop and fell behind early in the first half, which, because of trouble with the scoreboard clock was 21 minutes long. (Collegiate Basketaball plays two 20 minute halves.) The second half micht also have been longer than regulation because the scoreboard continued to malfunction. A substitute was found, but unfortunately, it could not be stopped after it was started. Finally, a makeshift system was devised using the broken scoreboard and two “designated scoreboard watchers” who noted and compensated for each malfunction as it occurred. Buffalo has been inconsistent all year, something they cannot afford to be with their tough schedule. They will have a chance to get back on the winning track tonight when they will play Brockport. On a brighter note, the Junior varsity Bulls surprised everyone with a 109-81 triumph over Niagara. Center John Conlon was the high scorer with 23 points. CATCH UPON YOUR SOCIOLOGY ON THE WAT HOME.

Ted Brenner, another freshman, will cap their season next March. By the time Buffalo students return for the start of classes next semester, a structure that will look something like this is scheduled to be completed on the Amherst Campus. The long awaited "Amherst Bubble" will be used for recreation and intramurals and will be situated in a parking lot just off the road connecting Ellicott and Governors. The "Bubble" is a temporary measure designed to provide indoor recreational space until the new physical education complex is constructed. The latest estimated date of completion for the "Bubble" is January 14. The staff of The Spectrum wishes you pleasant holidays Semester’s end and great vacation.

Dr. Ketter has also asked that the matter of the four-course load, which has popped up with disconcerting regularity this semester, by acted on somehow by the Faculty-Senate. The Faculty-Senate Executive Committee then recommended that the policy of granting four credits for three hours of course work by reevaluated. Subsequent subcommitte proposals included equating the number of contact hours with credit hours, adding fifteen minutes to every one hour class, adding an extra one hour class meeting per week, or making no changes at all. University administrators have indicated from time to time that the Bureau of the Budget in —continued from page 5— ... Albany is skeptical of the four credit system, and may regard it as a policy which inflates the value of credits. But less than a week after the subcommittee’s recommendations were out, the SA blasted the questioners of the four course load, and denounced intimidation of the University by budgetary forces in Albany. “It is the inalienable right of the faculty, students and Administration to determine the specific academic policies of SUNY at Buffalo,” the SA resolution stated. Budgeting, the motion emphasized, should not be a “major criteria” for developing academic policies. Now that exams are so near, There's no need to tremble with fear, For Gus Is so ready.

In addition, there are even more on-the-road events scheduled for the important There are also road contests scheduled for the vacation. The hockey team will play at Hamilton Michigan University in College and Western Kalamazoo. Buffalo's cagers will be in Cleveland and Richmond, Virginia. Some of the wrestlers will be at tournaments (in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania or Post College). Greenvale, Long Island (C.W. Fortunately most of the vacation’s events are on the road, so, in effect, Buffalo fans lose nothing. But it is a shame that two home events should be scheduled at a time when so many students cannot possibly attend. vacation. Not only is this unfair to the athletes, who deserve a full vacation as much as anyone, but more importantly, it is unfair to the students who pay for the program with their mandatory fees and cannot attend the home games. This year the wrestling Bulls will host the University of Kentucky, an exciting team with a new coach, former national place winner Fletcher Carr, and a new wrestler, Fletcher’s brother Jimmy, an Olympian two years ago at the tender age of I 7. The term, Kamikaze, has been used to describe the basketball Bulls’ schedule this season. One reason is the addition of Fairfield University, a traditional Eastern basketball power. ■ Normally, these two contests would be great spectator events. But Kentucky comes to town January 9 and Fairfield, January 1 1 during the long vacation when many of us will be out of town. Games that so many students simply cannot see serves no purpose.

The Editor of Ms. magazine and the founder of the National Black Feminist Organization, respectively, had been briefed beforehand on the WSC’s conditional charter, to be granted pending the adoption of a sexually non-exclusionary course policy. Questioned whether men should be admitted to certain restricted WSC courses, Ms. Steinem initially responded that such courses could be best taught outside the University. Ms, Lewis, taking the other point of view, maintained that single sex or single race classes are sometimes needed for open prehistory,” she said. Before paternity was understood, women were superior beings, worshipped as gods because they bore children and produced the soldiers and workers, she said. Bearing children was a mysterious act, which men envied and tried to imitate. But once conception and paternity were understood, men began to restrict the freedom of women to determine their own image. They began to give women the kind of work that was not rewarded. “Women’s work is anything men don’t want to do what we call shit work,” said Ms. Steinem. Cheap labor source Marked by the physical differences, women could not escape the discrimination. Other groups, marked by linguistic and racial differences, were also used as a cheap labor source. “There is no way to know if sexism was the prototype, but it is clear that the two kinds of castes women lose their lives. In discussing the myths about these groups, she noted that they can govern themselves "A black reporter can cover news of the black community and a woman can lead a typing pool." In addition, “Black there js the myth of “natural rhythm" people have musical rhythm and women have lunar rhythm." Still another myth is that which "gigantic- industries have built on our smell. How can anyone who has ever passed a locker room believe this myth?" Ms. Steinem asked. Watergate involvement Jane Galvin Lewis loves to talk about the black non-involvement in Watergate. "We were not there, and neither were women,” she said. "The sad part is that we have never allowed to participate that fully to be that corrupt.” Ms. Lewis also amused the predominantly white female audience with her account of the "suntan situation.” "White people try to burn themselves to death, and in September, they become so worried when it fades,” she said. Reviewing the historical linkages between sexism and racism, she discussed the first wave of feminists, the suffragettes, comparing them to the abolitionists, who fought for the rights of slaves. She also pointed out that black women may gain more right of their own by fighting alongside other women. They earned the right to vote along with the women in the I920's, not with the black men in the 1860’s, she said. In the door Gloria Steinem out of closed discussions. But women are even these courses, she added. Ms. Steinem then reneged on her first comment, suggesting that the best solution would be to offer parallel courses for men and to combine the classes at the end of the semester to discuss any differences. Ms. Steinem later told WSC representatives that her investigations had confirmed that such parallel courses would be legitimate under Title IX of the Education Act, which prohibits sex discrimination in being education. Romantic’ impact Regarding the generic use of the word “women" in the WSC charter, both Ms. Steinem and Ms. Lewis felt it had a “romantic” impact at first, letting men feel what it is like to be excluded from such a term. Practically, though, they believed the best term to use in the charter would be something neuter, like “they.” At the opening of the presentation in the “heart of jockocracy,” as Ms. Steinem referred to Clark Hall, she gave an anthropological explanation for the parallel between racism and sexism. “The question ‘If you’re so smart, then why aren’t you rich?’ can only be answered by the thousands of years of - Krzystek. - for cheap labor have been interdependent throughout history,” Ms. Steinem observed. “We have come to believe that they [racism and sexism) must and can only be fought together." Acknowledging that the suffering of these groups is different, though, she explained that white women lose their identities, while third world —Breslaver More than 300 supporters of the Women’s Studies College (WSC) rallied in the Fillmore Room Thursday in response to the College Chartering Committee’s recommendation last week to charter WSC only if it to end the exclusion of agrees men from certain courses and activities. ‘‘If Women’s Studies compromises to the conditions set by the Chartering Committee on the issue of men in classes, it would change the basis of our program and destroy years of work done in the College,” declared College member Ilene “The statement by Yoko Ono that 'woman is nigger’ is true. The revolving door of oppression is a love-hate situation,” she added. In talking about the problems common to white and black women, like rape, abortion, child care, and sterilization, she accused the press of giving generally inadequate coverage to the feminist movement. In a later interview, Ms, Steinem said that Ms. magazine was founded specifically for the purpose of giving more coverage to feminism. During the question and answer period, when complaints were mdde about the high-fashion, cosmopolitan type advertising in Ms. magazine, Ms. Steinem defended the publication by explaining that it tries to reverse the former “catalogue style” of women’s magazines. While most women’s magazines are one third editorial and two thirds advertisement, Ms. claims to be one third advertisement and two thirds editorial. Regarding the quality of the ads, “we have turned down $80,000 worth of advertising [and,] had to struggle to get our black ads,” Ms. Steinem said. She explained the difficulty in trying to get ads that are “class-free,” or that don’t appeal to the Cosmopolitan woman image. Ms. Steinem urged the audience to write to advertising agencies, who often take complaints about their ads into consideration in preparing future ads. Studies non-discrimination Although the Chartering Committee has not technically used Title IX as the basis for the conditions it has set, there has been concern about how the new law may affect the College. Title IX goes into effect Jan. 1, prohibiting sex discrimination in federally assisted education programs. The Chartering Committee’s primary concern is with discrimination in admission to courses. According to the law, the only time a sex biased criterion can be used is when it is “shown to predict validly successful completion of the education program or activity in question. The condition of men not being admitted to Women’s Studies 213 is a valid condition,” Ms. Handschu said. “Women’s Studies College does not violate Title IX.” It would take years and years to win a court battle, she warned, and “we may not reap the benefits” of a successful suit. Women’s Studies College was established to stop discrimination, and it is ironic that Title IX may be used against them, Ms. Handschu added, concluding that the College “is too much of a threat to the President of this University sitting up there high and mighty!” Asked if Women’s Studies is willing to negotiate the conditions set by the Committee, a member of the college answered vigorously, “They would like to believe it is a negotiable issue, but it is not a negotiable issue.” Another member explained that while the issue of men in courses is not negotiable, the procedure of exactly how that decision is made Another member of the College explained that it is not an issue of “no men” in Women’s Studies courses, because men are encouraged to participate in the majority of Women’s Studies courses. Consistent with national averages for Women’s Studies, nine percent of the students enrolled in the College’s courses are men. “Our experiences differ from a man’s experience in basic ways,” said Ms. Krzystek, “and this causes conflict in a class dealing with personal experience.” Women In Contemporary Society (WS 213), originally a co-ed class, is primarily an analysis of women’s lives in modern society. “When the course was coed, there were constant debates about oppression,” which lessed the effect of what could be done in the course, explained Sherry Darrow, a student in the introductory course. “In WS 213, there are many painful situations. Women speak of things they have never discussed before,” Ms. Darrow recounted. “Women learn that “In a sense, this struggle their pains are not their own, and those pains can come out with the concerns Women’s Studies help of other women,” she added, Colleges throughout the nation, drawing applause from the crowd. explained a WSC instructor, She concluded by explaining reiterating that “Where Title IX that Women’s Studies College is was established to work for their meeting the needs of the students, cause, it may turn around and and Women’s Studies should have work against them the power to determine when and Petitions were distributed at in what form men may participate the meeting, urging the in the College. rechartering of Women Studies Barbara Handschu, a lawyer, College in its present form, explained how Title IX of the including the College’s right to Civil Rights Act (pertaining to select those classes which exclude higher education), was formulated men.

Deadline changed for adding courses i New registration procedures? next spring will require students to prove they were closed out of a course during the first three weeks of the semester if they want to add that course between the third and sixth week. Previously, students were allowed to add courses unconditionally until the end of the sixth week of the semester. One reason the deadline will be moved up is that the huge amount of forced registration processed each year by Admissions and Records greatly increased paperwork. In addition, the old deadline placed the University at a disadvantage at budget request time because every unit of the State University of New York (SUNY) is required to tabulate its number of full-time equivalent students (FTE’s) three weeks after the start of each semester. FTE’s are used to determine the number of student credit hours taken at the University, a formula used in the determ nation of the University’s operating budget. Courses picked up between the third and sixth week of the term had never been previously considered for budgeting purposes. No stand There will be less opportunity for students to “fish” for courses, explained Dick Canale, director of registration. A student who drops a course after the first three weeks of the semester in the hope of adding another to retain full-time status will be unable to do so once the new procedures take affect. Mark Humm, Student Association (SA) Academic Affairs Coordinator, said SA “is taking no stand at this time,” but may ask for a delay in the new system until fall 1975 if it determines that the changes will adversely affect students. Other new procedures designed to smooth out present registration are projected for the fall but are awaiting approval, according to Bob Bailey, associate director of Admissions and Records. The new which have received informal approval from the guidelines Administration include allowing returning students to pre-register in April'to enable the University to predict student demand for particular courses. Schedule cards would be mailed out in June. Additionally, new computer terminals in Hayes Annex B will permit students to receive schedule cards immediately after adding or - dropping a course. Page two . The Spectrum . Monday, 9 December 1974 < — — - - More statistics Grade inflation peaked in spring 1970, when 31.4 percent of all grades given out were A’s. Using the fall 1965 base period, this meant inflation of slightly over 100 percent, or more than 20 percent annually approximately the same rate of economic inflation as that experienced by Iran. To complicate things still further, that semester appears to have been a fluke, a full 7.5 percentage points over the previous term and four percentage points higher than the following year. A more reliable picture emerges if the following semester’s figure (27.4 percent) is used, dropping the inflation rate to 77.3 percent or about 15.5 percent annually. Between fall 1970 and fall 1973, A’s dropped from 27.4 percent to 21.5 percent a 21.9 percent drop that translates into 7.3 percent annual deflation. But to make things even more complicated, the overall grade results for the three-year period indicate a levelling off. It is safe to predict that A’s will remain between 21-23 percent unless another round of inflation occurs. — — - What next? That possibility cannot be ruled out. As detailed in the last issue of The Spectrum, many schools have inflated their grades recently. While this University’s 41.6 percent A’s and B’s does not compare with Yale’s 42 percent A’s alone and American University’s 75 percent A’s and B’s, pressure to get graduates into other schools may force inflation. But no one will predict whether this pressure will result in another round of inflated grades. It is not known if grade inflation is a truly national phenomenon or one restricted to major universities that get more widespread media attention. Last year, for example, the Dean of Students at Texas Christian University released a memorandum complaining of “excessive” numbers of students on the Dean’s List. That “excessive” number was approximately 20 percent. �Student participation approved for Board President Robert Ketter has approved procedures for student participation in the activities of the President’s Board on Faculty Appointments, Promotion and Tenure. The procedures are an outgrowth of a Faculty Senate resolution passed last March which recommended the appointment of one graduate and one undergraduate, to serve as advisers to the Board. The resolution suggested that the students be allowed to attend meetings, examine dossiers to determine whether guidelines for soliciting student input had been followed, and to privde a broader base of input data to the Board. The procedures formulated by the Board stress the following each case at the meeting and may speak during the debate. The Board views the students as representing the University, rather than a department or Faculty, and therefore will not ask them to absent themselves or refrain from comment when cases from their departments are presented. This is an exception to the Faculty Senate recommendations, which suggested that the students not participate in such cases. The two students selected to serve with the Board are Elaine Mugel, a graduate student from the Department of Germanic and Slavic, and David Saleh, a senior from the Biology Department. The student representatives were chosen by Dr. Ketter from lists submitted by the Student Association and Graduate Student Association, and will serve for a one year term. - points: The student representatives are bound by all of the same rules of ethics and confidentiality binding the other Board members.

Do you want to know who these people are that you put into office? On Friday, Dec. 5. I attended a meeting between Faculty-Student Association (FSA) representatives and student government officials to discuss board contract problems. Food Service was represented by acting director Donald Bozek, managers Tom Modica and Bob Diekman and Mildred Durme, Food Service dietitian. Student representatives were Howard Schapiro, Student Association (SA) Student Affairs Coordinator, Inter-Residence Council (IRC) President Leigh Weber, and IRC Executive vice-president Perry Shustack. Let me begin by telling you the difficulties 1 encountered simply trying to attend this meeting. Permission for entrance was initially denied to any reporter from The Spectrum apparently because of objections by student representatives. Mr. Bozek stated over the phone that he had no objections to a reporter’s presence at the meeting, but Mr. Schapiro specifically said, “I don’t want reporters at that meeting." Stonewalling students So it was not an Administrative official, but your own Student Affairs Coordinator who believed he had the authority to prevent students from receiving important information. Students who have expressed discontent about Food Service, particularly members of IRC’s Resident Interest Group (RIG), who feel their grievances were adequately represented at Thursday’s meeting, are seriously mistaken. Nothing substantial was accomplished. Mr. Bozek was evasive, claiming inability to provide some information because he said he hadn’t met with some person or received this or that statement. This stalling seems to be a trend with the acting Food Service director. And instead of questioning his responses or trying to exert any sort of pressure, the student representatives passively accepted them, merely disregarding one question and going on to the next. Not only were student grievances not being represented, but after a while, 1 was beginning to wonder who was defending the students at all. Certainly not the “students" at the meeting. For example, Food Service officials are disturbed over the increasing theft of silverware and dishes, which it blames on students. Discussing the problem, Mr. Schapiro said, “Unfortunately, Food Service is looked at by students as an arm of the Administration trying to rip students off,” suggesting that Food Service should use the lowest grade of plastic silverware available to make students “feel” the problem. One observer was heard to mutter about Mr. Schapiro; “With students like that, who needs Gelbaum?” Students, particularly those on the North Campus, have expressed the desire for restoration of the weekend meal plan option which was discontinued after last September, Mr. Bozek said. It might be possible to open up one cafeteria for weekend meals if there were enough interested students and available funds. “If we have a weekend option opened, say at Ellicott, what would the reaction of Governors and Ellicott students be?” he asked rhetorically. Mr. Weber seemed to agree, maintaining, “Few Governors students would probably go over to Ellicott, and vice versa.” Why is Mr. Weber accepting Mr. Bozek’s interpretation when students have explicitly expressed the need for weekend meals. Not concerned The issue of food coupon books was also taken up. Students are disturbed because their left-over food coupons are non-redeemable, nor can they be extended for use next semester. Mr. Schapiro told Food Service that students are also complaining because they cannot read the coupons’ expiration date and have gone ahead to buy an excess of coupon books. “Okay, while I am not concerned about them, how can we make this (expiration date] clearer for the incoming students?” Although this coupon system has screwed a lot of students out of a lot of money, Mr. Schapiro apparently is not concerned! It is quite obvious from his statement just how much Mr. Schapiro is doing about the present coupon system. Most students seem to be discontent with Food Service. We must find representatives who will represent and fight fur student issues. Mr. Schapiro and Mr. Weber should be left to their poker games. Monday, 9 December 1974 . The Spectrum . Page three �Money maker Arts committee will publish poetry magazine this spring Students can look forward to a University poetry magazine this spring. Sponsored and edited by the UUAB Literary Arts Committee, the magazine will contain works by both University and community poets. Committee members decided not to limit access to University poets alone, feeling this would lead to an “elitist” viewpoint. They believe many excellent poets are working in the community and should have an opportunity to be heard. A board of editors will review all material submitted. There will be no single editor, as the publishers hope a group of editors will do a job better. Membership on the board of editors is open to anyone with an interest in poetry, who hope to comprise a diversity of backgrounds. The printing will be done by a local printing firm, with the assembling, packaging, and advertising handled by the committee itself. Members hope to distribute the final product in New York City as well as in Buffalo. The magazine will cost about 75 cents and all submissions should be in by Dec. 19. Run for the money The reason for the Literary Arts Committee’s decision to produce a poetry magazine is its urgent need of money. Its budget has been cut to 50 percent of last year’s. Funds are provided by Sub-Board, which finances about half of the total expenditures, but this year is requiring the committee to produce $600 of its own. An admission charge has been in effect at poetry readings this year, in another fund-raising attempt, which caused some students to object since the Literary Arts Committee is funded by mandatory student fees. Bonnie Gutnick, committee chairperson, agreed to let students in free if they promised to write a letter to The Spectrum and express their indignation to Sub-Board. The committee hopes the profits from the magazine will allow free poetry readings in the future. Two hundred dollars has been raised so far. Falling off the ladder The committee members feel that both the administration and Sub-Board want their group dissolved because it is not a money-making organization. They are at the low end of the funding spectrum when compared to music or film, they charge. The committee feels it has much to offer both students and the community in the way of poetry. Members are quick to point out that poetry should not be associated with “an old man with a British accent reading a poem written in I860.” Instead, modern poets are “alive and vibrant people who sing, by Howard Crane dance and live poetry.” Spectrum Staff Writer Ms. Gutnick feels that Sub-Board “couldn't care less” about the Literary Arts Committee,” and that Attempts to settle a strike by next year’s budget will not be higher.

The diocese has rejected an offer of binding arbitration, by which both sides would agree to accept the decision of an independent arbitrator who listens to both points of view. No more money? whose average salary is almost S5000 less than that of their Buffalo public school counterparts are demanding a “living wage,” Mr. Boscaglia said. He pointed out that 94,25 percent of diocesan secondary teachers are paid below the minimum recommended income for a family of four in the Buffalo area. All of the teachers, according to Mr. Boscaglia, are below the middle income level. Many are even eligible for food stamps, he said. High tuition The SLTA, an organization whose contract does not fall under the jurisdiction '6f the- Taylor Law (.prohibiting strike* by* public employees), is also demanding a projection of job prospects from the' diocese. Tuition is now too costly for many families, and is not likely to decrease in the near future, both sides agree. This situation discourages many people from sending their children to security parochial schools. As a result, not only will the diocese have to close some of its schools soon, but it will also be unable to pay many well-qualified experienced teacher who are thus leaving parochial schools in increasing numbers.

Despite arguments by Mr. Nixon’s lawyers defending the former president’s right of privacy, U.S. District Court Judge Gerhard A. Gesell ruled that the public was entitled to hear the evidence presented at the Watergate coverup trial. “The tapes exhibits are in evidence and have therefore come in to the public domain and the public should hear them,” the Washington judge said. Mr. Nixon’s attorneys are expected to appeal the decision. — The only economic system that makes sense for our environment and energy system is a socialist one, the kind where the public decides what’s best for itself, said noted environmentalist Barry Commoner, Thursday evening before a large crowd in Acheson Hall. Dr. Commoner, a faculty member at Washington University in St. Louis, cited the implementation of a vast new technology in the post World War II period as the root of the present energy crisis. This technology, he explained, has revealed ways of making products that return greater profits, but consume more energy. Synthetics are one form of very inefficient energy usage, he charged, adding that they are widely produced because companies make more profit from them than from more conventional energy-saving materials. Dr. Commoner explained that the law of diminishing returns will inevitably affect our economy and energy productivity, because the more an exhaustible resource is used, the more costly it is to produce a given unit of it. Investments in the natural gas-producing industries must quadruple in the next few years if current supplies are to be maintained, he said, predicting that “by 1985 it will take 80 percent of-our total money supply to maintain our present supply level of oil.” — Public records Judge Gesell based his ruling on the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee that trials are the public domain and on the accepted practice of distributing copies of documents or photographs used as trial evidence to the press and public; Mr. Nixon has been pardoned, the judge said, and so he has the right to protest release by the court. But he has “no right to prevent normal access to these public documents which have already been released in full text after affording the greatest His words cannot be protection of presidential confidentiality retrieved. They are public property,” Judge Gesell declared. Release of the tapes will be delayed until after the trial, however, to allow time for tape copying and to provide an equitable, non-profit distribution system to avoid over-commercialization. The radio-tv networks’ claim that they should receive tapes under the First Amendment was rejected by Judge Gesell. who said the request was “without merit.” The judge has withheld final action on applications by radio-tv networks for access to the tapes until he finishes studying suggestions from the Special Prosecutor’s office, the Watergate defendants, and others, concerning how the tapes should be made public. * ... Public ownership His analysis of the energy crisis emphasized the need for public ownership of the utilities. Even though there was more gas in May 1974 than in May 1973, the average price per gallon has risen from S.35 to S.55 during that time, he pointed out. “We’re now at the crossroads where we have to decide in which direction we will go,” he warned. Dr. Commoner was strongly opposed to the construction of nuclear plants, because he feels such plants are not as efficient as they are supposed to be. Plants expected to operate at 80 percent capacity operate at only SO' percent, and some are not functioning at all. he claimed, adding that the cost of running the country on nuclear energy would be far higher than its proponents predict. In addition, nuclear plants operate with plutonium, a dangerous radioactive element which requires extensive safety and security precaution. Dr. Commoner indicated that protection for the plants THEATRE DEPARTMENT AUDITIONS for “APPLE PIE” would probably be provided by the military, warning against any connection between the armed forces and the nation’s nuclear energy sources. Solar energy He endorsed the future use of solar energy, calling it a cleaner, less expensive form of energy which is not affected by the law of diminishing returns because of its virtually unlimited supply. —Santos Barry Commoner If solar energy were used to heat every home in the country, it would account’for 15 percent of our energy usage, he estimated. The cost of installation of the necessary equipment would total S4000 per home, but in 10 years the equipment would have paid for itself in lowefed energy costs. Dr. Commoner said that solar energy is already far enough advanced to be mass procued tomorrow if need be.

Monday, 9 December 1974 The Spectrum Page five . . , �Editorial Opening up SA The last hope for representative student government on this campus may lie with the success of the Student Association (SA) budget survey being conducted this week in conjunction with class registration. The significance of the survey is two-fold: it will be the first major attempt to determine grass roots funding priorities, and, as such, is a concession by student government officers that they are largely incapable of discerning how students want their mandatory fees spent. The survey comes at a time when the credibility of student governments at most colleges and universities is at an all-time low. Despite pledges each year by candidates for office to transform student government into a more rep esentative body, student governments have ,D,OT 'OUR LANDS ARC ALL RIPPED OFF. Wl ARE SPOKEN FOR RY A WHOOPEE. TERRORISTS AND WE ARE RECOGNIZED BY THE U.N. — for the most part remained havens for small, elite cliques of students who are out of touch with and in many ways frowned upon by the student body. The annual election of 11 new SA officers at this campus has never been a mandate for them to carry out specific policies, as evidenced by the incredibly low voter turnout. Every year, it is the same old story. Several students band together, organize a ticket because of the dictates of political expediency, and run for elective office. In most cases, there are no clearcut distinctions between the candidates. Most seem pretty sincere about serving the interests of students, through whatever means; some would genuinely like to open up decision making to the general student body, but once elected, become elitist and hopelessly entangled in the bureaucracy; and the overwhelming majority these days seem reluctant to "rock the boat." Because of the virtual non-existence of platforms or definable issue positions, the lack of exposure each candidate gets because of SA's self-imposed two week campaign period, and student indifference, the campus publications have traditionally taken it upon themselves to try to inform students about what they feel are the relative merits of each candidate. As the publication whose endorsements have had a profound effect on the outcome of two of the last three elections, The Spectrum has not attempted to impose its will on the outcome so much as it has tried to compensate for a microcosmic election process, one that is exclusionary by nature. Having contributed to the election of many officers only to later criticize their performance in office, we make no pretense of either our ability or inclination to serve as a surrogate for the student body. If this campus is to begin moving away from a closed decision-making process, there will have to be a reciprocal effort by both students and student government representatives. This year's officers are at least trying to open the process up, as demonstrated by the effort that was made to set this weeks budget survey in motion, and it is now up to students to use this forum to articulate their budgetary preferences. As easy as it is these days to feel extremely cynical towards any any bureaucracy, particularly student government, students should at least be able to spare one or two minutes of their time to fill out the budget survey. A large response to the survey wilt in no way bring about the instant revival of student government, but as things stand now, there is no place to go but up. The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. 43 Monday, Editor-in-Chief *- Outside Looking In by Clem Colucci Now it can he told. Through some hard-hitting investigative reporting, this column has uncovered the secret plans of the professional and college football moguls to expand the sport into a 12 month moneymaking extravaganza. As you must know by now. ABC introduces Saturday Night Football next season, thus immobilizing millions ol Ians from the first minutes ol the college pre-game show at noon Saturday to the last seconds ol Monday Night Football. But this is only the beginning. The football promoters have plans for both pro and college football that will dwarf anything you've thought possible. These plans have been in the developing stages for years and. barring unforseen setbacks, will he announced sometime next season. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) shows real ingenuity in the'plans for college football. Trends in the sport for the past few years have been geared specifically to and a demand lor manufacturing an excuse the new step. The NCAA bigwigs have plotted for the Colton years, proliferating bowl games Bowl. Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl. Gator Bowl. Sugar Bowl. Blue Bonnet Bowl. Amos Alonzo to make it impossible Stagg Bowl, ad nauscum for anyone but a trained sports statistician to say which college team is the best. By next season, expect the NCAA, in conjunction with one of the -major networks (probably CBS), to announced that all bowl game winners will enter a post-post-season playoff series culminating in a Collegiate Super Bowl. With all the contenders, the Collegiate Super Bowl playoffs would extend the'season at least another six months: At that rate, the annual college All-Star game would be played entirely by pros halfway through their rookie seasons. But the pros have managed: unbejievable as and save the it may sound, to top even this World Football League (WFL) in the process. The — - — To the Editor: — Asst. .

These two teams would play an entire 1.4 game schedule against each other, and only against each other. If you think 14 games between the same two teams would be dull, recall the line-up. The Americans could start Oakland’s Kenny Stabler at quarterback with Miami's Paul Warfield as wide receiver and his teammates Larry C/onka and Jim Kiick as running backs. The Nationals could cash in on a personality battle like the Namath-Unitas clash in 1969 by starting the Giants' Craig Morton at the helm. If one team threatens to dominate the game, the two team coaches can trade players back and forth to balance things out. Though this might cause some confusion among the players it would make for an exciting season. The WFL champion, of course, would be the team with the best record at the end of the season, and as many playoff games as necessary. Pay attention, now, because it gets complicated from here on in. While the WFL goes through its season, the National Football League (NFL) would do the same and hold its annual Super Bowl game between the AFC and NFC champions.

It seems hopeless. Free enterprise .comes through again, however, and the WFL will thrive. The plan is to just two consolidate the WFL into two teams. One, the Americans, will consist of all players the WFL signed from the American Football Conference (AFC). The other, the Nationals, will do the same with the National Conference (NFC) players. Instead of trying to support several financially troubled teams that DSC or Alabama could beat with ten men on the field, the WFL would have two high quality teams that could match the best evet to play the At the Faculty-Senate meeting on Tuesday, December 3, two things became quite clear. First, the Faculty-Senate overwhelmingly supports the UB, Day Care Center arid the expansion of the Center’s services to Millard Fillmore College in the evening. (The crucial issue of parent control was voted down by two votes.) Secondly, as stated by Robert Ketter, “whatever the Faculty-Senate decides is quite meaningless because they can only make recommendations fo the administration." The first point puts the majority of the faculty clearly on the ■JSSSide of the progressive community oriented forces UB. The second clearly shows the true nature of the Universify. It should come as no surprise that our University isjun by a bureaucratic elite who, rather than fight for regressive programs like Day Care, chooses to cut back and negate the role of the University and its community as an innovator in meeting human needs. Using the ploy that a Day Care Center has no academic basis, the administration forces have been demonstrating this narrow elitest indifference to women, married students, minorities and the poor. As if the University could not benefit from these people's participation in the UB community; as if these groups cannot benefit from being able to attend the University. In summary, much to Ketter’s and the administration’s chagrin, the Faculty-Senate has taken a principled stand in making UB open to the participation of those who otherwise would be systematically excluded from the UB community. This leaves the faculty and students no choice but to fight against the University administration for the power over our lives. Ketter’s divisive and cynical program has completely isolated the administration for the University community. UNITK FOR DAYCARF! , Michael Douso �Peace in the Middle East To the Editor. It is unfortunate that Mr. H. Segal (The Spectrum Nov. 20) can in this day and age, still refer to the tragedy of the Palestinians as a simple “exchange of population.” What moreover confounds the matter is his apparent assumption that the conflict between Zionists and Palestinian Arabs stems from the attempt of the latter to deprive Zionists of a land that they have always inhabited and is rightfully theirs. The facts of the situation are, however, otherwise. to and until Up 1947, Palestine was preponderantly Arab. Benjamin of Tudela, a Jewish pilgrim who visited the Holy Land in 1171 A.D. found only 1440 Jews in all Palestine. Nahum Gerondi, in 1267 A.D. found only two Jewish families in Jerusalem. At the beginning of the 19th Century the Jews in Palestine numbered 8000, and at the time of the Balfour Declaration (1917) they represented less than ten percent of the total population of Palestine and owned two percent of the land. In 1945, according to the official records of the United Nations’ Ad Hoc Committee on the Palestinian Question, Jews constituted one third of the population and owned only 5.66 percent of the land. If the Palestinian Arabs were the majority on the eve of the first Arab-Israeli war (May 15, 1948) how is it that they became refugees? One common argument is that Palestinians became refugees as a result of the 1948 war; that, had not the Arabs attacked Israel, there "would have been no refugees. Again, the facts of the matter are not so. The majority of Palestinians were evicted by force and dispossessed of their homes and land before any Arab soldier set foot in Palestine. Arab cities and towns in Palestine were attacked by Zionist forces before the beginning of the first Arab-lsraeli war (May 15, 1948). Tiberias was occupied on April 19, 1948, Haifa on April 22, Jaffa on April 28, Safad on May 10, and Acre on May 14, 1948. The Palestinians did not become refugees because of the 1948 war, but the war resulted because the Palestinians were dispossessed and evicted from their homes and land. Since then several United Nations resolutions recognized and affirmed the right of the Palestinian Arabs to be repatriated and called on Israel to do so. For nineteen years the Palestinians waited. Israel and the world heedless of their plight, they finally took up arms. Their voice is now being heard but at the same time they are styled as terrorists. One however need not condone violence to be able to recognize that terrorism in the Middle East is the monopoly of no one side. Yet how many of us know or care to remember that — to mention orily two examples - Israeli planes on February 12, 1970 attacked a scrap metal processing plant in Abu-Zaabal just outside Cairo killing eighty civilian workers and wounding ninety-eight others, and that on April 8, 1970 Israeli planes using Napalm bombs raided a school in Bahr el-Bakar in Egypt killing forty-six children. Mr. Segal (and The Spectrum. in a recent editorial on the PLO) are not alone to be faulted for this one-sided view of the Arab-Israeli conflict. At the hands of the news media the image of the Arab in general suffered egregiously. Palestine has been imagined as an empty desert waiting to burst into bloom and Arabs as inconsequential nomads with no stable claim to the land and therefore no cultural permanence. Again the Arab, if thought of at all singly, is a dimensionless creature. His history is obscure, for it is written neither in terms of institutions the American can understand nor in a language he can read. More often than not Arabs are pictured as large crowds, mobs of hysterical anonymous men. Against the sheer mass of their number any injustice, it seems, counts for very little. Pictures of Israelis, by contrast, show them as stalwart individuals, the light of simple heroism shining from their eyes. To the satisfaction of a guilty Western conscience, the Arabs in general and the Palestinians in particular have been made to atone for sins that Europeans have committed. But there are signs that the world is beginning to see and recognize the Palestinians, signs coming even from Israel itself, articulated by such writers and intellectuals as Prof. Israel Shahak of the Hebrew University and the Israeli League for Human Rights and. more recently, the columnist Yehushua Tadmor calling on Israel to talk directly to the Palestinians. Until such voices are listened to. it seems unlikely that peace will come to the Middle East. George J. Glaeaman Ads for the CIA frorr here to ther by Garry Wills Sometimes it looks like President Ford is a clown leading clowns. He has a whole chorus line of them. There’s his economic advisor, who reminds us that stockholders are losing more to inflation than are poor people. There’s the head of the Joint Chiefs, who claims that Jews own America’s banks. There is the head of the FBI who thinks the dirty tricks denounced by his own boss were perfectly all right. That boss, by the way, Attorney General Saxbe, is rather clownish witness the in most of his statements and in many of his actions Patty Hearst affair.. But Earl Butz is, despite heavy competition, the Administration’s clown of clowns. It was an insult to the starving people of the world for us to send a man like him to the Food Conference in Rome, to deal with the urgencies of hunger and starvation. He is the man who told us that when the larder is bare, it would be a good idea to cut back. Now he has progressed from his old routine of last year, in which he insulted housewives, to a game of insulting the Pope. He told New York journalists that the story in Rome about Pope Paul’s stand on birth control was “He no play-a the game, he no make-a the rules.” I disagree violently with the Pope’s stand on birth control. But the cheap shot that says he cannot discuss the ethical problems of marriage without being married is below consideration as an argument. It debases discourse. Then consider the mock accent. Some of those who protested the Butz remark seem to have misunderstood it they talk as if Butz were mimicking the Pope himself. It is clear from the words, however, that he is quoting an Italian man or woman speaking about the Pope. Even so, the mock accent is a crude device. I remember, years ago, writing a criticism of Jean Anouilh because, in his play “Becket,” he made cardinals talk heavily-accented pidgin-French (and, in the English version, stage-comic American) in order to suggest, illogically, that they were speaking elegant Italian inside the if not, indeed, Latin Vatican. Simply to put a foreign language into its debased English form adds an unearned touch of comedy, and therefore of mockery. The speaker in Butz’s story was presumably speaking Italian, not English; and that speaker’s Italian was no doubt better than Butz’s Italian and very likely better than his English. This might be taken as a single lapse, and forgiven. But even one such dreadful lapse damages a man’s effectiveness as in the case of General Brown’s comment on the Jews. And the Butz remark is just one of a series of offensive statements surrounding an ugly policy and proud shortsightedness. This clown is funny in himself but his actions rightly sadden thousands of others. Each day he remains at his post he is an advertisement for American insensitivity toward human suffering. — — — — - To the Editor. 1 must protest your publication of a National Security Agency advertisement. Either due to blind money-quest (you don’t get many full page ads, do you?) or unforgivably stupidity you have become complicit with most of the atrocities committed internationally by agents of the (dominant) right-wing junta presently ruling America. National Security Agency is a front for the C.l.A. Jobs advertised by your newspaper have, in the past, aimed at (successfully) assassinating Ngo Dinh Diem, the act which served as the excuse for American military takeovers in South Vietnam and eventually the war. The people who are the N.S.A. have terrorized unionizing miners of Venezuela, operated the Air-Amcrican heroin trail to America’s ghettoes and killed thousands in the Phillipines. Dominican Republic, and Chile. You whose "big” issues are academic freedom of thought, faculty firings and the Attica frarneups, have now become complied with massive repression by CM.A. imperialism in the Third World, the murders of Pablo Neruda, and other leftist intellectuals, and the tiger-cages still very much in use in South Vietnam. I demand that you publish an apology for publishing this outrage and that you lake an oath, never to do such again. - /■red Friedman of History Dept, Inaccurate epithets To the Editor. In your recent article on the status of the chartering procedure for the Colleges,-Vico College was referred to as “faculty-dominated.” Implied in the choice of words like these is an unmistakable pejorative sense that might lead some readers to wrong conclusions. Vico College is as “faculty-dominated” as any University Department; that is, only University faculty, or those with faculty qualifications, teach Vico courses. This makes Vico College different from most of the other Colleges in the present system. But aside from this fact, the very use of the term “dominated” implies an oppressive arrangement in which faculty have “power” and others do not. Such an implication has no bearing on reality. The faculty and students \in Vico are mutually engaged in an intellectual erfterprise. Vico faculty have no more, no less power than other University faculty; Vico students no more, no less power than other University students. It is as simple as that. It is time, I think, to call a stop to the various epithets that people have labeled us with: an intellectual faculty club created to serve our own “needs” is one of the more absurd I have heard. Vico faculty devote time to the college for a number of reasons intellectual fulfillment from the study of the history of ideas, for one, and a deep commitment to undergraduate general education, for another. They devote this time for no extra pay for their teaching, advising, and residential activities. I hope that The Spectrum will bear these facts in mind in their future articles on the colleges. - Elisabeth Perry Executive Coordinator Vico College More security To the Editor: The change has been almost imperceptible.

For a while you could walk info Clement or Goodyear any time in the night without anyone questioning whether you should be there or not. Now there seems to be intermittent security only after 11 p.m. This is certainly not enough. Muggers and thieves will eventually realize at what times the dorms are open at night. Dormitory residents are entitled to adequate protection and security from the University now. We cannot afford to wait for the future; we cannot afford to take chances.

The team will be a mixture of old and new players, wearing the traditional blue and white Buffalo colors. What's borrowed? The Bulls will be using arenas other than their own for some of their home games this year. They will play five home games at Memorial Auditorium, the home court of Canisius, and two at Erie in County Community College Williamsville. The Bulls are in the second year of a monumental rebuilding program, trying to reach .500 after’ last year's dismal 5-19 record. Exactly how well the team does will depend both on the performances of the newcomers and on the degree of improvement of the returnees. The Bulls' big question mark is in the middle. Freshman cenfer Sam Pellom, who is already being referred to as "the franchise," was impressive in the pre-season and has shown promise in the early going. Pellom plays well He rebounds well,' but it will take time before he can be really effective against bigger centers (Pellom is 6'7"). Backing up Pellom are two returnees, Mike Jones and Jim Slayton. Jones' major weakness last season was defense. Like Pellom, Jones is short (6*6") for a collegiate center. He will play forward as well. Slayton, on the other hand, specializes in defense and is the kind of player who is always hustling, always aggressive. "Slayts" is not an offensive threat, but he has been showing some improvement there. Missing star Otis Horne, the team's second leading scorer last year, will probably be out of action until next semester due to an incomplete grade last spring. The junior forward is expected to carry a major portion of the scoring load when he returns. Otis can drive or hit from the outside, and his defense and rebounding are more than adequate, although he still ne6ds to learn some discretion in his shot selection. Twenty-five shots a game was not uncommon for him last year.

Dickinson is a classic he example of a small forward outside shot qnd is owns a good quite capable of going inside if — necessary. Baker is two inches taller and is more defensively oriented. Another newcomer, Ron McGraw, will also be used at forward. He might be the best shooter among the forwards. The Bulls have a surplus of guards, but two seem to rate a little above the crowd. Junior Gary Domzalski and co-captain Darnell Montgomery should handle the bulk of the back court work, along with Gene "The Dream" Henderson (17 points per junior game for last year's varsity). Domzalski pan shoot even with one eye tied behind his back, and 25 feet is not out of his range. He also holds the varsity record for assists in one game. Montgomery did not play much last year because of an injury, but he appears to be healthy now. His specialty is defense. The running game The Bulls figure to run a lot this year, unless turnovers force them to slow it down. They were often outrebounded last season, and could not fast break as much as they wanted to. This year, the front line will be counted on heavily to get the ball. Richardson realizes that he is still rebuilding the team, and that they will not be winners overnight, although an early season upset at Long Island University was a very good sign. The coach feels that a .500 season is within reach. The Bulls' schedule is also improving, along with the team. If Buffalo can do well against the stronger teams on its schedule, it will speak very well for the improvement of the team. \W —Frost Commentary Title IX bolsters by Bruce Engel Sports Editor 9 of the Education Act of 1973 takes affect next prohibiting educational institutions from discriminating athletically on the basis of sex.

But they still have some dues to pay this year before the grass gets appreciably greener for them. The women's team, on the Page eight.

Coach Carolyn Thomas isn't sure of her starting lineup yet, but she indicated "the people from last year have an edge." "I'll probably use a three guard offense until someone develops as a good forward," Thomas said. She labeled sophomore Mary Ellen O'Malley, junior Pam Tellock, as well as seniors Charlene O'Neill and Chris Barone as the leading candidates for guard. The much improved Pat Dolan, a junior, is the probable starting forward. All of these players have at least a year of varsity basketball experience. "The players are used together," said to playing Trapper. "There is a sense of security on this team." tmr Dominant player Ann, who has the ability to dominate the action, is the best player on the team and the only •one with a guaranteed spot in the lineup. Despite this, she claims she doesn't feel any pressure "because I don’t think of myself as an important player.” Thomas doesn't think there's much pressure on Ann either. "Wt; don’t count on her to score. She distributes the score Trapper's strong point is rebounding and, according to Thomas, Ann is one of the best rebounders in the league. Senior Cindy Palczynski will back her up under the boards. Last year a bad knee limited Ann’s effectiveness on the court, but a cartilage operation last summer should improve her XVN —Bennett women's sports Open tournament This year, for the first time, the state tournament will be an open affair. Teams will be considered on the basis of their records and the strength of thfeir opponents. Under this system, Buffalo's players think they have a good chance of making the tournament. "We came close enough last year," said Charlene O'Neill, "and the desire is carrying over." But Dr. Thomas didn't want to look too far ahead. "We'll play like we did last year game at a time one ' This year's schedule is a little tougher than last year, according to Thomas. "We played teams last year that we beat by 25 points. This year the contests will be more of a challenge." "The caliber of the area schools is about the same," Trapper commented, adding that Genesee Community College and Cornell are two of the best teams on the schedule. In her second year as coach, Thomas' ability has earned her a high rating with the players. "It's an educational experience to play under her," said Ann. Thomas doesn't think winning is the most important thing in collegiate sports. "Winning is secondary to people maximizing their potential as players,” Dr. Thomas said. She hopes for more support this year from Buffalo fans. 'The schools we play are good," she said, "and I think people would be surprised to see how good women's basketball is."

In the past, this attitude and the simple desire to play for fun has brought unfair male chauvinistic criticism that women athletes were not serious in their endeavors. Nonetheless, the women, led by Ann Trapper, have the potential to win the majority of their 11 games. Lesson time Seemingly the men's team is pretty well set everywhere but at center. In the middle, 6'7" center Sam Pellom may or may not be the big man of coach Leo Richardson's dreams. Pellom has great promise, but still has a ways to go. This season should be an educational experience for the baby-faced freshman. If he learns well, thre may be a brighter future for Buffalo basketball. But if he bombs, and the Bulls still don't have a big man, they will be In deep trouble. The, women are sure to be strong at center but have some pretty big question marks in other areas. Playmaking guard Denise Larusch and forward Sue Patterson were key figures on last year's team, but both have graduated. Thomas feels as though she has only one good forward right now, and she is planning on starting three guards. Fortunately for the women's team, though, Ann Trapper is the kind of player that might not need much help up front. She can dominate a contest, consistentlt scoring and rebounding in double figures. To a large extent, as Ann goes, so will the team. Monday, 9 December 1974 The Spectrum Page nine . . �.1 S yoo su«e (T«Kt vev ikiwlo ir« 3 w those? 1 ( I . /•OoWt irf0W>Oit oiiitH...

SUMj $1.50 �To defend student rights Dublin conference discusses campus journals Student journalists from all over the world gathered at the Second International Press Seminar this fall in Dublin, Ireland to exchange opinions and compare their experiences on the student press. With representatives from twenty-one national student and press orgifhizations, the conference emphasized the important social and informative role of the student press, and stressed the commitment to defend the rights of students and contribute to the formation of a progressive consciousness among students and young people. The conference was organized by the International Union of Students (IUS), and the Union of Students in Ireland, and many of their reports have been published in the IUS international magazine. World Student News. Student analysis According to a report presented by the Union of Students in Ireland, the problems of students and “the analysis of these problems by students is perhaps one of the basic reasons for the existence of the student press.” Unfortunately, the Irish students point outt, “many of our students become apathetic and uninterested in some areas which arc of major relevance to them.” Therefore one aim of the student press is to “increase the awareness" of students around these important issues. In addition, the press must help develop the consciousness of its readers international affairs," as well as to provide "a student-controlled media for the educational, political and social problems encountered by students and society,” according to the Irish students While professionalism in production is important and desirable, each newspaper must demand "facts, accuracy, knowledge, initiative and imagination” above all, they claim. Students also feel that the newspaper would be improved if the editor or editors could arrange a leave of absence from normal class work (with the possibility of receiving credit for their work on the paper) so they would have time to follow up stories and help the coordination of local news. Vietnamese students “The student press is a victim of repression by the Saigon police,” reported the Student Union for the Liberation of South Vietnam. “Many friends who had written for student papers have been imprisoned. Others who had distributed the papers have been tortured." Despite the governmental repression, the student press in South Vietnam is playing an important role in mobilizing students of different political tendencies in the fight for independence and freedom against U.S. aggression, the Student Union asserted. The Vietnamese student press is urging the release of some "200.000 political prisoners" still being held by the Thieu government. In particular, much has been written about Huynh Ian Mam, President of the Saigon Student's Union, who was mprisoned lor the thud lime three years has respected the articles of the agreement. In explaining the important role the Vietnamese student press has played in the struggle for peace and independence, the Vietnamese journalists paid tribute to the coverage of Vietnam by the student press in other countries. Repression in South Africa Students from South Africa reported that conditions are so repressive in their country that there is “no national student press.” One student organization published a newsletter, but all those associated with the group were expelled from school and eight were banned from studying anywhere in the country, reported the Student African National Congress. “There are 25 or more laws which goven the behavior pattern of the press.” As a result, "the South African press today is Section of the exclusively white-owned, white-controlled and reflects the opinion of the white attitudes,” the students explained. Under the Suppression of Communism Act of I V>50, four newspapers who campaigned on behalf of the African in 1952. in 1954, in people were banned 1962 and in I 965. According to an article in t he World Student A'cur written by Sovie' scientist S.l. Beglow, the colonial subjugat ton of the African peoples has prevented tl item from developing their media industry. In 1959, 216 newspapers were printed it i Western on nines mope, while in sixteen African none were printed at all.

In contrast, the Socialist Union of Polish Students reported that about 40 Polish universities presently have their own periodicals. Edited by groups of student journalists at each school, these publications deal with student life and give information about the Union and various organizations and activities, the students explained. Polish student press The Socialist Union of Polish Students, formed last year, organized a program which strives to harness the creative potential of “highly-qualified young specialists,” in accordance with the needs of the modern economy of a socialist state. The student press helps publicize this program. The Polish student press publishes articles on all aspects of natural sciences, social sciences, and the arts, while also reporting on national and international news. The overall purpose of the student press, explained the Polish students, is to form a “new man,” through the development of a “socialist personality," Student magazines are published in each four national student district, and magazines are produced with a total circulation of 180,000 copies per week.

Citing the provision that prohibits third party and independent candidates from using public funds unless they received 5 percent of the vote in the previous election, small party critics have urged President Ford to veto the bill because it sets up a two-party political monopoly. “The blame for the poor quality of leadership does not rest on the Republican party alone,” declared Eugene J. McCarthy, who made unsuccessful bids for the Democratic nomination in 1968 and 1972. “The Democratic party generally has not offered presidential alternatives acceptable to American voters. And the two parties have worked together to shut out challenges from the outside,” he said. Mr. McCarthy, who is hoping to run for President on an independent ticket in 1976, said recently he will challenge the Finance Act in the courts if it becomes law. He also charged that the bill discriminates against poor and middle income candidates and those who challenge congressional incumbents. McCarthy’s protest was joined by the Socialist Workers Party. Socialist Workers Treasurer Peter Camejo has asserted that the Finance Act is “unfair and undemocratic, and strengthens the monopoly of the big business parties over politics in this country.” Camejo also claimed that parties such as the Socialist Workers have been subjected to discriminatory ballot laws, media blackouts and unconstitutional FBI and police surveillance and harassment so that obtaining 5 percent of the vote is difficult. >$:jS Wednesday’s issue of The Spectrum is the last issue of the semester (Thank •jiglg Sgi-S >:•!•:$ w God).

Kosman by Thom Kristich Spectrum Staff Writer To help promote membership in WNED Channel 17, the station will air a variety of shows for “discriminating viewers” this week (Dec. 8—13). Membership week offers viewers the chance to become part of public television and help it continue in the Buffalo area. The special shows presented this week will appeal to theatre, sports, and music buffs, among others. Of particular interest to college students is “Monty Python’s Flying Circus,” a British comedy show which became an underground hit with those who watched late night Canadian television. One of the actors in the “Circus” is Marty Feldman, who has been called the English Woody Allen, only crazier. The “Circus” will appear every night of the membership week. Nana repeat There will also be a repeat of last season’s popular “Nana,” based on the book by Emile Zola. Nana is a 17th century prostitue among the elite class, who works her way up the social ladder with her special talents. After runing several lives, she dies of smallpox at the story’s end. “Nana” contained some of the more explicit nude scenes of last year’s season. While this caught the eye of many viewers, the excellent BBC acting and the interesting story of moral decadence attracted many others. Noel Coward’s old buddies pay tribute to the great playwright in another show, filmed before his death. The cast includes David Niven, Richard Burton and the late Maurice Chevalier. For the music aficionado, a tape of the 1950 Newport Jazz Festival, “Jazz on a Summer’s Day,” will be aired Dec. 10. The showing will enable those who attended the Ella Fitzgerald concert at Kleinhans Music Hall Friday to compare it with her performance 24 years ago. Baez and Mangione Joan Baez will perform Dec. 12 in concert, without a back-up group, highlighting a number of her new personal compositions. A repeat of Chuck Mangione with the Rochester Philharmonic in a presentation of “Together” will be aired near the end of the week. Mangione is a Rochester fluglehorn player who is popular among jazz and easy listening fans in Buffalo. Rounding off the week will be a show tracing the recent tour of Olga Korbut and thfi Russian gymnastic team in the.United States. �Survivin the huffin and puffin of the strenuous Turkey Trot 9 9 rescheduled it for the following week However, now it was impossible to train. Forty-degree weather turned the snow on the track into mush. My friend and I tripd running once around the perimeter of the football field. Midway through the first lap he fell into the wet snow, got soaking wet and we decided it wasn’t worth it. The rest of that afternoon was spent heaving snowballs through the football uprights in an attempt to see how far we could throw a field goal. Thus Turkey Trot day arrived and I had done little training. Rather than worrying, I decided to be proud of myself for running. It’s good for my health. I left my room in MacDonald Hall two minutes before the race was scheduled to start, so I had to run there. What a stupid time to have to run anywhere. 9 shape by John Reiss Staff Writer Spectrum Editor's Note: Every year, prior to'Thanksgiving, Buffalo's Intramural Department runs a race called the Turkey Trot. Dozens of students, faculty and staff compete annually in the distance running contest with the winners in several categories receiving turkeys for their effort. This year The Spectrum commissioned staff writer John Reiss to run in the race and write, if he survived, a story about it. Here is his experience. I had never thought about running track before. It takes too much stamina, too much will power. I love to ski, am a baseball fanatic and I enjoy watching and participating in most sports. But track? Oh no, I’d stay away from that. Ever since the summer in sleep-away camp when I was years old and saw my life pass before me after running 12 600 yards, track was off my schedule. I love watching track, though, and my heart sank with the rest of America’s when Jim Ryun fell in the Olympics. But for me, long distance running consisted of running from first to home on a double. However, if I have anyone to blame for getting involved in running, it is, to repeat an old daying, “Me and my big mouth.” In September, I decided I would start a physical fitness program by running at Rotary Field every day, first panting around a mile and then working my way up. By Ji ne I would be in top physical condition. DEVIL: Rest, rest. ANGEL: Run, run DEVIL; You can’t run. It’s Thursday Good point. Sorry Angel, the Devil wins this one (and most subsequent debates, I might add). So much for physical fitness. While I was running, 1 had casually mentioned my program to Sports Editor Bruce Engel. Engel apparently tucked this piece of information in the back of his head, because two months later, he suggested that I run in the Turkey Trot. Explaining that The Spectrum likes to run Plimptonian-type articles and since 1 was the only member . The real thing Upon arriving at Clark Hall, I saw what I had feared all along: real athletes. Runners. These people came to win that turkey, and for them anything less than first place wouldn’t do. Monkarsh’s announcement that the race was just for fun was greeted with uproarious laughter. When I mentioned to The Spectrum photographer Dave Center that I hoped I wouldn’t finish last, he said, “1 just hope you finish.” He wasn’t very helpful. All the participants were gathered into a big group as track coach Jim McDonough described the route we would have to run: up and down, in and out, through and aroundi I had no idea what he was talking about, but I figured I’d have quite a few people ahead of me to lead the way. When the whistle blew to start the race, about 100 people darted out as if it were a sprint. “Hah,” I thought. “After one lap these people are going to tire and I’m going At the end of the first lap things hadn’t worked out exactly as I had expected. I was still helping to bring up the rear. The guy in first place (whose face 1 never saw) was half way done with his second lap. At the end of my second lap, still way behind, I was telling myself, “I’ll still,” puff, puff, “still pass a whole lot of,” wheeze, “lot of people.” Real eas The irst few days of running went beautifully. 1 ran with a t.iend who had been a pretty good runner in high school, and 1 beat him. We’d stay even until the last lap and then I’d win it with a kick. Boy, this was going to be easier than I thought. Here 1 was just starting out, beating someone who was experienced. I thought for sure I’d be great at this. I thought it was nice that I could follow such a strict for a week. program so diligently. And I did follow it to me before happened It had began happen. it to Then when I was lifting weights and it was happening again. If you have ever tried a physical fitness program, you may know what I mean. I’d wake up and say to myself “Oh, I’m not running today. It’s too cold, my legs hurt to the game. ANGEL: If you don’t run, you’ll-never be in good of the sports staff that was on a regular running program, I was the obvious choice for this assignment. It would make no difference how I finished. It was just for fun. Engel said I shouldn't worry, the race is only about one and a half miles. “One and a half miles?” I said. The mere thought theTactTwaS made me tired. But 1 agreed to it. remembered intramural director Bill Monkarsh telling me. “The race is run in any kind of weather. Last year we ran in snow.” I prayed the event would be postponed, and it was.

After the race, 1 was told it took me about 10 and a half minutes to run what turned out to be close to two miles. Bill Monkarsh came over to me, patted me on the back and said with a smile, “Nice run, Spectrum." Maybe he says that to The Spectrum runner every year. 1 do know, however, that although it was fun, I’m not going to only one week away. It rained so much the week before the race that 1 was able to run only once. There were 15 inches of snow on the ground the morning of the big day.

Last summer, Albert Dahlberg, assistant to the vice president for Facilities Planning, promised that the rooms would be available for the Center’s use, she maintained. Representatives of Facilities Planning had agreed to confirm in writing the arrangement, Ms. Cassiol said, but the document was never forwarded to Center officials. An order to leave the rooms was never received either, she emphasized. Mr. Dahlberg confirmed Wednesday that two rooms had in fact been reserved on the first floor of Cooke Hall for the Center, but there was no definite agreement to assign them to the Center because “nothing is considered official until there is written notification" from Facilities Planning. During the summer, he , explained, the chances of the by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor The University Day Care Center will be forced to close down indefinitely after December 20th if the Administration does not follow the recommendation of the Faculty-Senate to supply funds that would keep the Center open through June. Merton Ertell, acting vice president for Academic Affairs, said previously that the University was committed to keeping the Day Care Center operating until the end of the semester. Kathline Cassiol, Director of the Center, indicated that the Administration considers December 20th the end of the semester, although the Center is normally open all year except on legal holidays. Dr. Ertell was ill and unavailable for Vol. 25, No. 42 State University of New York at Buffalo Support given to Day Care by Richard Konnan Campus Editor Inflated grades making fine differences harder to view ' .... , t ; ! - , * 6 December 1974 Fac-Sen The Faculty-Senate approved proposals Tuesday recommending that the Administration supply funds to keep the Day Care Center operating until June, and that a committee be formed to explore ways of offering day care “as a service” to the University community instead of examining possible academic uses for the Center.

The use of the Center for research purposes would only obscure the fact that day care is a right, according to American Studies professor Elizabeth Kennedy. “It appears to be a ploy to have the Faculty-Senate axe the existing Day Care Center,” she said. Prof. Kennedy offered the successful proposal as a substitution. University administrators, however, continue to maintain that the only reason the Center received state funding in the past was because Albany regarded it as related to academic enterprises. Dr. Ketter indicated after the Senate session that the Faculty-Senate resolutions would preclude any chance of obtaining funds for the Center from Albany. A statement issued from the Day Care Center Wednesday asserted that Dr. Ketter’s statements “made it clear that the administration does not share the views and opinions of the faculty Pennsylvania State University in 1963, 17.9 percent On the need for day care as a by Clem Colucd Special Features Editor of all grades give* were A's.

One does not necessarily do zoological research just by visiting a zoo,” commented professor of Management John Boot. Pauline Lippman, a parent involved with the Center, agreed that the Senate should not be determining the academic uses of the Center, if any. The Senate decided “whether to provide a service which allows poor people, single women and minorities to use this institution,” she said. Academic potential cited “Day Care is one of the few means to allow these people to participate,” Ms. Lippman added. The study proposal was defended, however, by James Lawler, professor of philosophy, who presented the report to the Senate on behalf of the committee. “In addition to service, there is a considerable academic potential for studying earl/chil$iood’ development,” he said. Dr. L$wter told the Senate that day care here could serve as a model to odier day care centers in the state. But day care supporters were adamant in their refusal to allow the addition of academic enterprises to the Center, which in their opinion, is only a ploy to skirt the issue of day care as a right. An amendment by American Studies professor Charles Kiel to include in the Senate recommendations a clause urging that the Center continue to run under “existing parent control” was also defeated. Another amendment, asking that day care be provided as a benefit to students, faculty, and same way other staff in benefits like parking,are provided’, was defeated; as well.

Rising fees and living expenses have combined to make the low cost college education offered by state universities less and less accessible to even relatively affluent middle class families. Expansion Having long outgrown its original “agricultural and technical" purposes, the University of Wisconsin has expanded into a major 27-campus system, with 135,000 full-time students. Enrollment at the main campus ip Madison remained the same, but at the like Oshkosh. Superior and more remote units Platteville it is sagging. By comparison, the State University of New York enrolls almost 257,000 full-time students on 72 campuses. Under state law, Wisconsin residents must pay 25 percent of the cost of their slate university instruction. The yearly fees at Madison, for example, now vary from S573 for freshmen to S796 for juniors and seniors, while out-of-state students pay four times as much. While these fees are lower than those here, the full cost of a year at Wisconsin, including room, board, books and incidentals, has risen to more than $2000.

The first will research the possibilities of reducing phone rates for off-campus calls if students agree not to exceed a fifty-call limit. Presently, students must pay a monthly charge of about $11.00 for an unlimited number of calls. Under the new system, calls exceeding the limit would be tacked on to the original charge. The second project will investigate wasted energy at Ellicott, particularly the need for 24-hour lights in certain areas of the Complex The new North Campus NYP1RG office is located in Fargo Building 5, Room A362 of the Ellicott Complex (636-2319).

Purpose eroded Under the Wisconsin proposal, tuition would be stabilized for the next year and then trimmed the following year by reducing the student obligation from 25 to 12 percent of the cost. Even though inflation would eat away at the reduction, tuition would probably drop back to an average of about $850 per year. Similar worries have prompted other states to In Ohio, the Board of Regents of the state-supported schools has proposed that tuition be stabilized for the next two years. And, the trustees of the University of Illinois have said there will be no further increases at least until the end of the 1975-1976 academic year. It is now more than a century since Congress established public “land grant” colleges to “promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes.” But the historic purpose of these public schools is being eroded because most colleges both are now struggling to fill their public and private classrooms and dormitories. Having overbuilt to accommodate the postwar “baby boom,” the very survival of many institutions is at stake, along with the jobs of well-paid administrators and professors. Passage of the Wisconsin proposal by the state legislature appears uncertain, according to several observers. In addition to the cost of the faculty salary rise, an additional $33 million would have to be allocated from state funds for the university if the proposal were put into effect. Wisconsin Governor Patrick Lucey has already dismissed the idea as “pie in the sky.” attempt to halt further tuition increases. - Graduate interships The Center for Policy Studies has established a University-wide program of graduate internships in public policy and public sector management.

The approval of the college’s five-year charter now hinges on its adoption of a non-cxclusionary policy to be determined by a University Review Board. WSC defended itself in a letter Society is an introductory course to the chartering committee, which explores and analyzes the citing the primary reason for not role of women in the modern giving equal access to men as the world, moving from a “full exploration of women’s consciousness-raising introduction experience to a woman’s studies to a social analysis of the position and- the difficulties of doing this of women. Taught collectively, the course is designed to help in a sexist society.” The two courses that exclude women develop leadership skills. men are Women in Contemporary Students are expected to hand Society and Self Help. Since in four written assignments women explore their bodies in the linking life experience to class Self Help class and discuss the material. At the beginning of the impact of a male-dominated semester, they must also write medical field, the college feels it personal histories to establish the connection between the work of inappropriate to admit men. the course and the concrete life of Developing leaders the This personal Women in Contemporary approach is designed to point out the complexities of studying women as a category. American Studies Professor Elizabeth Kennedy, an active member of WSC, described the course as a development of the women’s experience using women’s experience as a basis, studying historical aspects and the working of the woman in the family, she explained. When asked why men had to be excluded from these courses which usually cannot accommodate all those who Dr, Kennedy register for them said that their presence would make it hard to break through stereotypes, and might intimidate women as well. - - Disruptive males In the past, when men were admitted to the courses, arguments often arose over social roles. “The experience of our first semester showed us that a subjective analysis of women’s lives could not proceed productively when many of the participants were not part of the reality,” claimed the WSC collective. At the beginning of each semester, “many women wonder why no men are in the course,” added Dr. Kennedy. But “by six weeks into the semester, all the women understand that men should not be there,” she said. Although not actually prohibited from 213 (Contemporary Society), men are discouraged from registering for the course and are directed to take other courses, that are open to them. If they are specifically interested in 213 and protest the exclusion, they are offered the course as an independent study. No man has chosen such an option as yet. Dr. Kennedy said. Courses for men Some of the WSC courses open to men are in history and child care skills. The history course is designed to break down stereotypes without having to argue and serves as an introduction to the women’s studies area for men. The child care skills courses focus on learning new ways to think about children and women’s relations to children. The majority of WSC courses arc open to men; the enrollment rate for men is nine percent, paralleling the average in similar programs nationwide. “Every Women’s Center" at the University of Massachusetts, for instance, refuses to admit men to any of its.39 courses because “they don’t involve men and have no meaning to them,” according *■ to one spokesperson. of Title IX of the In a study U.S. Constitution, which prohibits sex discrimination in education, it was discovered, in fact, that women as a minority group can have separate education when it is of a remedial nature, she added. The center regards its courses as remedial, since they make up for what women students might have missed in a male-dominated *' educational ' system. No justification Yoram Szekely, executive secretary of the Chartering University. The central issues for WSC are in what capacity men will participate, and who will decide who can be admitted to the „ , courses. Irving Spitzberg, Dean of the Colleges, has proposed an external review procedure to decide these questions, but the details of such a review board are still unclear. “There must be a public scrutiny mechanism for reviewing this judgment,” he said, adding that it should not be decided strictly within the Women’s Studies College. There would be three “issues of justification’’ that Dr. Spitzberg feels a review board should decide: whether women learn as well when males are present; whether men will benefit from this kind of education; whether the “oppressor” should be given the opportunity to show and explain his — - — oppression. Elizabeth Kennedy Committee, maintained that no justification is possible for excluding men. Explaining that his views do not necessarily represent those of the committee, Dr. Szekely said, “The exclusion will only increase sexism; men should be encouraged to learn about women, since ignorance is one of the bases for sexism.” Since he feels the Self Help course would not be conducive to admitting men. Dr. Szekely said that it should be funded by outside sources and not by the The final decision now lies with Pres. Robert Ketter, to whom the Chartering Committee sent its proposals. There are, however, several legal issues at stake. If the University is to receive federal support, it must abide by Title IX. SUNY Central and the Board of Regents may also raise questions about whether the exclusionary policy constitutes sex discrimination. Lacking backing The Chartering Committee refused to approve WSC’s exclusionary policy because of the lack of evidence behind some of the college’s arguments. “Most of the other women’s studies colleges do allow men in courses analyzing women in society, and find it is better to have discussions with men,” said Dr. Spitzberg. He did acknowledge, though, that the Self Help courses clearly should not enroll men. In an interview with The —continued on page 18— New SCATE questionnaire by Howard Greenblatt Spectrum Staff Writer Buffab’s only ring store S& kidding 11 IF ml T^t , The newly-revised Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE) form will be distributed in many classes next week on an experimental basis. Designed to alleviate the problems encountered with the Analysis of Courses and Teaching (ACT) used in recent years, the new questionnaire features many changes. The new SCATE form has been approved by about half of all University departments. Classes in the Faculties of Natural Sciences, Engineering, Social Sciences, Arts and Letters and in the departments of Pharmacy and Occupational Therapy will participate in the survey. A total of 27,000 questionnaires will be distributed. The University’s commitment to teacher evaluations was endangered last year when the existing ACT survey was criticized by both the Faculty-Senate and University administration. The Senate, in a resolution passed last year, claimed that the statistical results of ACT were difficult to comprehend and that the survey lacked direction and input. When a revised ACT plan was subsequently proposed. Dr. Ketter announced that the University would not be able to provide the necessary funding. Both the Faculty-Senate and the Administration decided that the evaluation process should be undertaken on an individual departmental basis, explained Mark Humm, Student Association (SA) Academic Affairs Coordinator. Under this plan, no Administration funding would be forthcoming. Because the various Faculties would not have had the time or money to undertake their own evaluations, Mr. Humm, Karen Cunningham, and a group of students spent most of this semester formulating a less expensive and more readible SCATE form, one that would hopefully be a more accurate barometer of student feedback. Mr. Humm anticipated that the new SCATE program would cost only $3500 per semester, in comparison to the ACT which cost approximately $40,000 a year. After meeting with Mr. Humm and his academic affairs subcommittee, Academic Affairs Vice-president Merton Ertell agreed to provide funds for paper, computer answer forms, and use of a computer, which constitute the bulk of the expense. Although the new SCATE program will be administered by the students, Dr. Ertell has not agreed to provide funds for temporary student services. Whereas the ACT form listed 36 questions on a “strongly agree-disagree” basis, the new SCATE questionnaire features 18 multiple choice questions. In addition, the new format provides space for individual comments, and Mr. Humm expects that the individual departments will attach an additional page of questions in the future. “The new form is intended to be a base, but it will provide for individual interpretation,” Mr. Humm said. “I want to emphasize that this is a pilot survey,” he added, stressing that the major purpose of the first questionnaire is to evaluate the form itself. The survey provides space for students to comment on how it might be improved. Although the results of the experimental survey will not be published, a Faculty-Senate committee will be formed to review the feedback and perfect the survey for its permanent use next year.

The recommendations were sent to Ewald Nyquist, State Education Commissioner, who is expected to reach a final decision on them Monday. Dr. Ketter said he has asked the Commissioner to reject the recommendations in “principle and in substance” because of the “highly singular rationale for their being made.” He also declared that the report’s suggestions for maintaining present programs would distort the present goals sought for those programs. The recommendations were made by the State Education Doctoral Council on the basis of site reports conducted last year by outside evaluations. But Dr. Ketter said the final conclusions of the report were not consistent with the assessments that were made as a result of the site reports. Dr. Ketter also took issue with the legal power of the Board of Regents and the State Department of Education to disband University programs. “If you can dissolve doctoral can dissolve programs, and programs without criteria,” he said. programs, you professional undergraduate designing any Day Care Center obtaining the space was “very good” because both the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration and Executive Vice President Albert Somit had expressed support for the Center. —continued from page 1— ... there, according to Dr. Telfer. He said the space had actually been assigned to the Provost of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration and temporarily to the New York Telephone Company. Subterfuge Don’t worry After the controversy regarding Day Care Center members sent funding of the Day Care Center a letter to Dr. Ertell at the end of November requesting a progress report and an account of his “efforts” to seek additional funding for the Center. A Day Care Center newsletter reported that when Dr. Ertell was contacted on December 2 for his response to the inquiry, he John Telfer, vice president for offered “no proposals about Facilities Planning, said the Day long-range plans for the Center,” Care Center received the keys to but told the Day Care people “not the rooms by “subterfuge,” but to worry.” Additionally, the Mr. Dahlberg explained that newsletter reported that Dr. Ertell Maintainance had mistakenly would not elaborate about the issued the keys to Day Care future of the Center, and that the officials.

The State Education Doctoral Council has reviewed programs in history, chemistry, physics and English at public and private institutions throughout the state. “While we are somewhat constrained [as a result of the report], others may be in more trouble,” Dr. Ketter admitted. He pointed out that in granting seats to institutions of higher learning in New York State, the Council treated the sprawling SUNY and CUNY systems simply as individual units. Thus SUNY which has a total enrollment in the hundreds of thousands was given no more than one seat on the council, while small private institutions like St. John's University were also given one — seat.

Page four The Spectrum . Friday, 6 December 1974 . �Research methods New library course offered in the spring A new four-credit course designed to familiarize undergraduate students with the University libraries and their information resources will be offered next semester. Entitled “Sources and Methods of Library Research” (UEB 309), the course is aimed at students who have “little knowledge of large academic libraries, and generally, those who have not yet committed themselves to any particular discipline,” according to the course description. Mary Jane Platou, head reference librarian of the Undergraduate Library (UGL) who will teach the course, designed the program to serve entering students who are often confused about the use of the libraries and seldom realize their potential. Library classroom Limited to 20 students, the course will be taught both in the classroom and in the library, with the aid of extensive media ■ materials. Grades will be determined by written worksheets, exams, and one major project entailing an annotated bibliography on a subject of the student’s choice. In writing the final paper, students will be expected to utilize the skills they have developed; for example, how to formulate research strategy and where to locate pertinent materials. The class will also discuss resources outside the University library system. This is not a new idea, said Ms. Platou. Similar courses have been offered for some time at many large universities, among them Berkeley, UCLA, and the University of Washington. Ms. Platou emphasized that in large universities, it is difficult for librarians to help every student. “Students have to be able to find the information themselves.” This course, a “bulletin board” offering, will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1 to 2:30 by Joseph P.

A spokesman for Campus Security also predicted that the job action would have a negligible effect on the University because the slow-down would be concentrated in the downtown area, and would probably not affect Niagara Falls Boulevard or Bailey Avenue.

Although three out of four high school students believe censorship violates basic American principles of freedom of expression, the poll showed a substantial minority would be willing to let outsiders screen the books they use in school. Five percent of the pupils in the survey would approve of burning objectionable books, such as Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.’s Slaugh terhouse Five. The researchers defined objectionable as “sexy, profane, obscene, immoral or filthy material” and mentioned Vonnegut’s novel as a committee of local citizens decide which books are suitable for classroom use and another 18 percent believe parents should possible example. Arline Erlick, Editor of the Purdue research panel, said the survey results indicate a lack of Book burning As additional 15 percent of the students said they would probably support book burning. One fifth of the students said that if books contain objectionable material those portions should be removed from editions used in high school classes.

Although the 20-question survey is concerned primarily with athletics, it will also seek to establish student priorities in preference to the entire annual $800,000 SA budget. The results of the survey will not be binding. “It’s not going to be so specific that it locks us in to anything exact,” said SA president Frank Jackalone. It is hoped, however, that the response will be helpful in determining just what students want to get for their activity fee, particularly in athletics. SA officials seem to think that some proof of support may be needed, lest athletics fall by the wayside entirely. “We have to impress upon people that they have to fill out the survey, or they may lose all athletics,” Mr. Salimando said. by Bruce Engel Sports Editor understanding of the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. “Some people are closed-minded and fearful and are not ready to In an attempt to achieve a more accurate measure of student priorities, particularly in the area accept the First Amendment.

He was successful in getting Anthony Lorenzetti, vice president for Student Affairs, to fund the project, and also convinced Richard Dremick of Admissions and Records to include the form in the registration packet. Finally, Helen Wyant, assistant director of the Student Testing Center, helped Mr. Salimando and SA National Affairs Coordinator Michelle Smith draw up the questions. The first section of the survey deals with the SA budget as a whole and is concerned with students’ individual preferences in budgeting.

Students are then asked how often they go to University athletic contests. Later questions ask students to state their preferences among men’s athletics, women’s athletics, intramurals and recreation, and club sports, as well as their preferences within each of these areas. Other important questions concern alternative modes of funding athletics; the kind of institutions University teams should be playing; and the possibility of bringing football back to the campus. vary AT INDIVIDUAL storf^ �WNED is educational T.V. for Erie County Whenever detrimental remarks are made about Buffalo, there is always a group of people ready to counter with everything that is good about the city. They point to the many cultural and artistic centers the ar is famous for, including Allentown, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and WNED, Channel 17. Yes, Ch. 17, public TV, the educational and cultural television mainstay of Buffalo. A community station, Channel 17 carries a variety of educational and entertainment programming and it does this without the benefit of advertising revenue. Instead, the station raises funds from federal and local governments, corporate contributions, membership drives, and the sale of programs produced at the station. Last year’s budget amounted to $1,700,000 (48 percent of which came from federal, state and county eaf governments). The station also receives money from Erie County as a part of the county’s cultural and educational program, which also assists the Philharmonic and the Albright-Knox, among other institutions. This allocation is spread over the station’s whole budget and specific projects are not singled out for funding, eliminating the possibility of legislators’ cancelling appropriations when they disagree with certain programming. Erie County was the first county in the nation to provide such funding for educational television. New York State also provides funding, on the basis of a formula which takes into account the amount of support provided by the local community. Broadcast area and population are also considered so that small communities are not excluded. The state encourages diversity and rewards stations with good previous records. The stations here are thus relatively independent, in contrast with those in South Carolina, for instance, where all public TV stations are state-owned and centrally programmed. According to Mike Collins, Channel 17’s president and general manager, however, while the state has a good formula, it is rarely adhered to. Funding usually does not meet the station’s needs, he said. The viewers too are an integral part of the funding process, he explained. A greater percentage of the viewing audience wajches educational television in Western New York than in any other region, according to Mr. Collins. But even with this popularity, Channel 17 receives contributions from only 5 percent of its known viewers. Even that is higher than the overall public TV viewer return of 3 percent though, he noted. Attracting viewers to Channel 17 has been a problem. Mr. Collins admitted. But once they tune in for a special event, they often become regular viewers, he said. “Individual membership is the real crux’’ and will determine whether educational television continues, Mr. Collins concluded. NYPIRG's Richard Sokolow (left) discusses Joan Schmidt. for a new anti-nuclear coalition with SECWNY Critical mass Stronger anti-nuclear force by Laura Bartlett Staff Writer Spectrum Representatives of six local organizations opposed to the expansion of nuclear energy plants formed a “loose” alliance the Safe Energy Coalition of Western New York (SECWNY) at a meeting Monday night in Norton Hall. SECWNY chairperson Joan Schmidt feels the alliance will enable the anti-nuclear forces to “have a little more organization and carry a little more weight in seeking legislation and lobbying, on both state and local levels."

Ms. Schmidt, a Wales housewife, recently attended Ralph Nader’s “Critical Mass” conference in WAshington, D.C., and her idea for the coalition came from the lack of organization she witnessed there. available to them as well. The other representative organizations are; the Alliance of Consumers and Taxpayers of Niagara County, the Citizens’ Energy Council of Western New York, the Springville Radiation Study Group, NYPIRG, the Sierra Club and Housewives to End Pollution. No favoritism intentions “There were 1200 people there with 50.000 great ideas, and nobody getting anything done,” she said. “Everyone had their own. very real problems and was looking for someone to pat them on the head and listen to their fears about the nuclear reactor in their backyard.” Ms. Schmidt felt all the necessary motivation and good intentions were present, but only the creation of some kind of formally structured organization could accomplish the basic goals everyone was seeking. “It’s been my experience with organizations run on a very informal basis that, generally, vdry little gets done,” she said. A central steering committee, to be headed by Ms. Schmidt, will be comprised of one representative from each organization. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) of Buffalo has joined SECWNY, and its steering committee position will be rotated, according to NYPIRG member Jan Sarles. NYPIRG will donate its office facilities for SECWNY’s use, and the other groups plan to contribute whatever resources are Good Because Ms. Schmidt does not belong to any of these organizations, one representative said she would be in an ideal position to coordinate the coalition’s activities without showing favoritism to an individual group. “I am resolved that there is no technical solution for the problem which are even of nuclear today being accumulated. What is\ left is a strictly moral question,” \ Ms. Schmidt explained. She added that time is very limited, and anti-nuclear forces must unify to “cut off the serpent’s head.” The group will send representatives to this Saturday’s meeting in Albany where a statewide coalition will be formed, which will in turn feed into a national alliance. Such an arrangement is ideal because it will present a unified image to the public and the media of the anti-nuclear movement, while allowing each local group to concentrate on its own unique concerns. NYP1RG has begun polling local legislators on the question of nuclear energy, which member Richard Sokolow calls a concrete beginning toward constructive projects.

Page seven �Editotia Day Care pragmatism But seriously With the Day Care Center set to close down in a matter of days, it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand why the Center's most vigorous advocates seem to want nothing less than an immediate decree by the Administration that Day Care is a right. We have no quarrel with this philosophy; for all sorts of historical, economic and social reasons, this University should routinely offer Day Care as a service instead of having to peddle the Center's ass as an academic enterprise. But because the Center's funding dilemna has now reached emergency proportions, its proponents have no choice but to place pragmatism before idealism. This is not what the Faculty-Senate has done by passing a resolution to establish a University-wide committee to explore ways of offering day care "as a service” to the University community, rather than investigate the possibilities of establishing a Center for Early Childhood Development or an academic justification for day care. By refusing to even deal with the practical reality of justifying expenses to SUNY and the State Bureau of the Budget, the Senate may have inadvertently precluded any chance of obtaining funds for the Center. The State University at Buffalo is not a private institution. It follows policy directives set down by a bureaucratic central body, a group which exercises an awesome degree of control over the flow of money into the University. For whatever narrow and primitive reasons, that body has decided that no funds will be allocated for a variety of social services, day.care among them. Too often, people forget that the only reason the Center has ever been funded is because, quite literally, those funds were buried in academic lines. Convincing the State University of New York that day care is an indispensable service one that has enabled many minority and disadvantaged parents to pursue a College education would probably require similar expressions of need from most of the State Universities and Colleges. The likelihood of this happening of students and parents organizing en masse through New York State in the year is almost nill. 1974 to express their support for day care during here the semester staged The rallies that were protest held the that continuous apparently hope in were would give the Administration no recourse but to look up and listen. Unfortunately, 1969 is long gone, and College administrators are no longer inclined to acquiesce to something they oppose in face of large, vocal and persistent opposition by students.

Name withheld upon request �Our Weekly Reader by Bill Maraschiello Spectrum Arts Staff Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Sometimes Zeppo by Joe Adamson. $3.95 (softcover) Touchstone, The Marx Brothers Scrapbook by Groucho Marx and Richard J. Anobile. Grosset and Dunlap, $5.95 (softcover) We have here two new dissertations on that great and glorious myth, the Marx Brothers. Both are quite ambitious; neither is meant for the Marxian neophyte. Only one the Groucho/Anobile effort is worth owning at all. In Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Sometimes Zeppo, Joe Adamson plays William Manchester (or perhaps Shirer) with the Marxes, having "thoroughly searched through all the existing written material on the Marx Borthers." In the process he has uncovered some previously hidden gems of Marxiana, notably some hilarious (and inexplicably unused) excerpts from early drafts of A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races. However fortunate it may be that Adamson has uncovered this material, the — — the modern critic, overanalysis. (A pertinent example is another writer's description of a Groucho line as "a dazzling example of Groucho's technique" ignoring the fact that the line was — written for Groucho, and that Groucho could be just as as anyone else when his writers failed him cf. Room Service.) Adamson's critical observations, like his factual ones, are so busy trying to meet their quota of wit and literacy that they are often semi-coherent. His frame-by-frame log of the most minute and irrelevant inconsistencies in each film is of little value to the filmgoer who was too busy having his sides split to perform structural analyses. Considering that his book is subtitled "A Celebration of the Marx Brothers," Adamson spends a disproportionate amount of energy poking holes in their films' structure, their scripts, their direction, and in more than a few aspects of the Marxes themselves. One is left with the impression that he doesn't really consider them funny at all. Adamson could have easily produced the finest book on the Marx Brothers in existence if he presented his wealth of material simply and without ornament. He chose, however, to indulge his critical ego, and the result is minimally rewarding. One third of The Marx Brothers Scrapbook is extremely rare memorabilia photographs, reviews, ads, even the sheet music to "Hooray for Captain Spaulding." Another third is interviews with Zeppo, Gummo, and several friends and associates of the Marxes. But the bulk of the book is straight from the mouth of Groucho himself, and it is this aspect of the book that is perhaps most sobering to the Marx fan. For it is an inescapable revelation that — — the Marxes are mere mortals; specifically, that the great Rufus T. Firefly and Captain Spaulding is an old man. In a way, the Scrapbook is Groucho's Limelight, minus any prattle about The Greatness Of Life. Groucho's thoughts, like Smith's in 1984, are much "like a ball falling into the same series of slots." High on his list are those great absolutes, sex and death; he remembers people largely in terms of whether they're alive now and with whom they have slept. He also seems smugly certain that he was the only one of the Marxes who was worth anything as a performer. The reminiscences of the Marx coterie reveal a great deal of mutual bitterness, in fact. Susan, Harpo's widow, accuses Groucho of "driving three wives to drink, and his children too." Zeppo berates Groucho for continuing to perform in the face of what Zeppo sees as senility; Groucho counters with "Gummo's a nice man, which is more than I can say for Zeppo.” (The largely untold stories of Zeppo and Gummo are among the most manner in which he has presented it here is infuriating. For he has fallen into the well-trod trap of the critic of humor: namely, the compulsion to be as witty as his subjects. His perspective is that of an equal, if not superior, of the Marxes; his tone is generally condescending and elitist. Worst of all, his style is so slathered with Marxian puns and in-jokes that anyone who has not committed the Marx films to memory will be hopelessly lost inside of ten pages. And if you do know enough about the Marxes to decipher Adamson's prose, most of the material will be old hat to you anyway. Nor has he ignored that great fault of valuable parts of the book.) Whether the Marx story can be told in other than a highly subjective way is debatable; in any case, the picture emerging from the Scrapbook is disturbing. The Scrapbook certainly adds some new and enlightening pieces to the puzzle of the Marx Brothers. It will surely prove a valuable source to whomever eventually writes the book on the clan the one Adamson's effort might have been. In the — meantime, we can content ourselves with Duck Soup, A Night At The Opera, Monkey Business, and the rest; in the absence of a map to Marxland, an unguided tour will more than suffice. �by Susan Wos Spectrum Music Reporter Sparkles and spangles that razzle-dazzle your eyes floating along people's chesty among other paraphernalia, on that night of nights. It vm Doomsday, November 21, and 8 p.m., the bewitching hour, as scores of thousands brought their fanny perpendiculars to the Aud for THE show. As that time approached, anticipation grew, while hundreds of questions popped through the air. were But the answer was always the same; yes. Yes. YES! Soon I discovered myself in the midst of none other than Yesoids. You know, all those fanatics who eat, drink, and sleep thoughts of Yes. Who constantly look for existential meaning to the lyrics and extend them to their mundane existence. Who sit motionless, dazing while the group plays and then become ecstatic, cheering and clapping at the end. Get the picture? But others were also floating around at this "happening." PR men for record companies were scattered about the floor. And even your favorite (?) WYSL DJ wit the HUGE bushy hair was sitting right in front of me, smoking one of those funny looking cigarettes. It seems everyone was out looking for a good time. All I can say is, you shouldn't have held your breath. Great Gryphon! The lights dimmed as the MC came on stage, introducing himself "WPH oh shit!" After the crowd cheered, he rambled on about how he knows the way we feel and that it's because of big business. Actually, that little Freudian slip was probably done intentionally, but who cares, cause we all miss our educated radio station. Meanwhile the audience simmered down and Gryphon came on to do their set. A five member band from England, Gryphon led off with a number from their album, "Red Queen to Gryphon Three." Gryphon's music closely follows early Englist folk tradition, similar to the style of Steele-Eye Span. But of all the groups into classical folk rock, they are perhaps one of the best up and coming ones. It was eident that Gryphon was on their first American tour. They nervously played four numbers amidst floating balloons to conclude their forty minute set. But putting this aside, I found them to be uniquely refreshing. The music was melodic, with intermittent horns and pipes adding a dramatic effect. And the lead singer was a real gas. Barefoot and dressed like a peasant, he performed antics typical of Ian Anderson in his formative years, before he donned the bunny suits. bouncer-like guards watched the floor entrance, not admitting anyone without a proper stub. As you can guess by now, I had some trouble finding mine. Photos by Frost ... The ultimate spinach finale In their final number the group really cut loose. Saying that "audience participation would be grrrrrrreatly appreciated," Gryphon performed what was called a set of tunes. Perfect for Looney Tunes cartoons, it turned out to be variations on that sailor jig of Popeye fame. Faster and faster they played until you were oblivious to all else. The only thing which kept you in touch with reality was a constant buzzing in your ears. Try us again next year, Stravinsky, sea shells and sharks Everything finally settled down as I eventually got back to my seat. None too soon, for the introductory number was being piped from the speakers. An excerpt from Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite" brought the members Gryphon. Maybe Buffalo will be ready for ya by then. Intermission came and went. Usually it's rather enjoyable bumping into people you know, making connections along the way. However, the sound crew was performing the most annoying sound check ever. And if the constant bleeping wasn't bad enough, five huge In the midst of sharks, Yesoids—stran S nessI , of Yes on stage through a sea shell tunnel. The crowd went wild as the group members picked up their instruments and concluded the pompous number. Their set was awesome. I guess you can say that strangeness is a physical phenomenon. Here it certainly was fitting. Constructed to resemble the bottom of their Topographic Ocean, the keyboards were situated within a crab with moving pincers while a glistening shark was suspended above the drums. The audience loved it. Actually, I did think it made a cute little outhouse for the drummer. See, that's what you get for eating too much organic food. The minute Yes started to play, excitement buzzed through the air. Their first number was a little free form piece that turned into a King Crimson rip-off with a couple of electronic cha-chas added for good measure. Having sufficiently warmed up, the group proceeded into more familiar material, namely; "Close To the Edge," "And You And I," culminating in "Ritual" from the T.O. a'bum. The other two numbers Yes did were cuts from their soon to be released Relayer LP, timed nicely as an Xmas bundle. Enough! or too much? "Gates of Delirium," one of the new cuts, was superb The screen of flames reinforced the firey paced rhythm. It was here that Alan White, proved drumming was in his blood. His vigorous strokes along with gliding riffs on the bottleneck guitar led this throbber into a soft melodic piece. It was really nice. But once again the group overstretched themselves, Abstract fantasy is fine when it's within limits to be appreciated. Yes seldom does this. They always seem to drag out numbers until they become distorted, losing the original form. What happened to music that you could enjoy for a simple song, not a twenty minute relay of cacophonous abstraction? 1 still have another beef to pick. For all their pompous" haughtiness, Yes has a rotten live show. Their albums are soothing to listen to occasionally, but on stage they're stagnant. The members mostly stand in place like statues with smiles painted on their faces. Have you ever noticed that Jon Anderson doesn't seem to know what to do with his hands? At least Rick Wakeman put some extravagance into his performance.' His replacement, ex-Refugee member Patrick Moraz, was quite thorough on keyboards though he melted into his scales. Still having his music on stage, Moraz will probably use Yes as a stepping stone to better things. What it all boils down to is that Yes is now too damn big for their britches. For a while I thought there was something wrong wi|h me until the guy next to me commented; "I'm sure glad they know what they're doing 'cause I don't." Well, don’t worry about your sanity 'cause if anyone questions you, just answer Yes. Page ten . The Spectrum .

It is never raunchy or raucous. No matter how heavy it gets, it seems light at the same time. No matter how driving it gets, it always seems pretty. There are touches of other kinds of music in it, like Miles and Mahavishnu, and there are distant places in it too, like Mexico or Spain or Manhattan. We are lucky here in Buffalo. This Monday, December 9, we can hear the best music that our race has realized, and we can experience something that has long been buried within us. Chick Corea and Return to Forever have been communicating musically the very essence of human nature, the good within us all, the universalism of our inner needs, the desire to be loved and to love. This is the music they play, and the experience they share. They've been pursuing this direction for a few years now, and they get better and better and deeper and deeper, so take notice. A lot of people are into it already, and if you want to make them happy, ask them to describe a concert they've seen. What's the music like? It's like rock, with electric instruments and all, and a funky bottom.

TV comes to you; movies must be sought out C.H.F. No. 2; The Boob Tube (what a deceptively harmless name!) is a prostitute, pandering to the beloved lowest-common-audiencedenominator. Its position is enviable; having inured its audience to the rankest trash, it can present something purely mediocre, something less blatantly trashy, and hear it hailed as a quality product. C.H.F. No. 3: The movie industry, like any other industry, is concerned overwhelmingly with making money, by providing people with what they generally want to see. (That may seem obvious, but it must be remembered that most of Buffalo couldn't care less whether it ever sees Amarcord or Scenes From A Marriage, and they will probably never be shown here for that very reason.) So the blandest possible "entertainment" is the currency of the day. People want "nice stories" like they see in the box; and the tag "nice story" certainly doesn't preclude the presence of mayhem, gore, broken bodies, obscenities, and naked bodies. Indeed, those are the only things TV can't offer. As a result, the modern movie combines a typical television-type story with the above-mentioned titillating elements thrown in indiscriminately. It assumes that its audience is the TV audience twelve-year-old mentality. It is as provocative as oatmeal, and one-thousandth as tasteful. r Prodigal Sun Ji most part, but they are usually no fools. Pelham's Mayor of N.V.C. and City Council are both clowns and fools, propogating the illusion that anyone can spot an inept politico at first glance.

Thritlingly dull With the presence of large numbers of gun-weilders and a potentially destroyed vehicle, massive destruction is a possibility. What we get is a runaway subway-car episode that is positively — Sure thing The Taking of Pelham One Two Three is a shrewdly commercial movie based on John Godey's shrewdly commercial novel. It has most of the elements necessary for commercial success. A sense of responsibility on the part of the cast, the writer, or the director is not one of those necessary elements. Robert Shaw, Martin Balsam, and two extras hijack one car of a New York subway train, demand a million dollar ransom, and threaten to kill one passenger for every minute the ransom is late. Walter Matthau, who works for the Transit Authority, has to figure out how they're going to get away with the money, since they're completely enclosed. Shaw was once a soldier. Balsam has a cold. Matthau seems irritated in the same way that Jack Lemmon cleaning up after him in The Odd Couple irritated him. So much for characterization. We all know that bureaucrats are clowns for the j {') ' breath-leaving, and what Shaw does near the end, which is the only remotely gripping thing in the movie and which I don't want to spoil for you if you're dragooned into seeing it. Peter Stone's screenplay has >uch gems as one of the cops delivering the ransom, rhetorically asking the equivalent of “How does a guy get out of this chicken outfit?" According to the posters, there was a director, Joseph Sargent. If you're in the market for this sort of thing, you can find something equally good on the video for free. Take in Pelham and you'll essentially be paying $2.50 to hear the cast swear. I can't get away from those disturbing thoughts on the state-of-themedia. If we could choose between televised schlock and good films, that would be tolerable. But the choice is becoming more and more academic. I have to recommend Pauling Kael's essay in the August 5 New Yorker for an informed opinion of the true state of the industry.

The spectacular sex scenes hinted at in the ads (hinted? Hell, the picture of Charlotte Rampling clad in her boyfriend's pants and a pair of very skimpy suspenders is probably the film's biggest selling point) are not there, and one uses any of the but for sheer anticipated four-letter words thematic obscenity, this Italian film about ex-Nazis in Vienna can't conceivably be beaten. Max (Dirk Bogarde) works the late shift at the desk of an old-world hotel inhabited by such loveable types as the aged, lonely Countess who begs for small sexual favors l?ut must be content (at least this time around) with stories of his relationships with younger women, and the homosexual ballet dancer who needs him every night, first to direct a portable spotlight on his scaled-down performances and then to administer sleeping potions through a quick shot in the ass. Quiet as a mouse Max considers himself a "churchmouse," able to free of the twin shadows of Hitler and Nuremberg only by disappearing into total obscurity. The handful of fellow ex-officers who complete his coterie of friends, however, still insist that they were treated unfairly and despise Max's need for anonymity. Every few days they arrive to alter his routine somewhat with the meetings of a sort of demonic encounter group, during which they exorcise the guilt of one member at a time. This week, it’s Max's turn.

While Max flashes back to their first love, she begs her and husband to leave the hotel immediately inexplicably ends up staying behind "to shop" (she says) for a few extra days. She is Max's only concentration camp witness (he has murdered another one earlier in the week), and he is the only man who can dominate and enslave her completely. Each is terrified of nothing but the other, and once they are re-united, neither can ever walk away. - Unlucky in love Unfortunately, Max's friends are not so romantic; they want Lucia dead so that the porter may finally live. After he quits his job in order to watch her constantly, their food supply and electricity are cut off until the emaciated lovers are forced to stagger out to attempt an other-worldly but terribly predictable sort of escape. Very little actually happens during their stay in Max's apartment and the actions which the main v characters do take are, as often as not, utterly incomprehensible. But the torturous mind games the only with which they occupy each other feature of their war-time relationship which they can are childish and yet really bring back to life incredibly evil, quite worthy of the man who loved to photograph his naked, shivering prisoners from all angles and then use the pictures for target practice. - — Bogarde and Rampling express the great emotional torment which the high melodrama of the plot requires that they show through a series of long, pregnant stares and sensual pouts, respectively. The motivation that leads the apparently sane, happily married Lucia of the opening scenes to rush into the desperately sick relationship she shares with Max remains largely unexplained, as do most of her actions following this decision. The Night Porter is crammed full of mysterious symbolism and deep psychological implications, but there is ultimately much less here than meets the eye. Prodigal Sun �Dance '74: losing something in translation by Alice Jacobson Spectrum Arts Staff Perhaps the most illuminating feature of Dance '74, performed from November 15 to November 24, was the contrast between the artistic conceptions of the Black Dance Workshop and the Zodiaque Company. The former was represented by five dancers nearly identically clad in blue leotards, skirts, and nuns' headdresses. Music was recorded and explicitly served to point up the unifying theme in "Prophecy and Prayer." Zodiaque, a cult of eighteen or thereabouts, appeared to be wedded to the accompanying jazz trio, a fact which would have been less fatal if the marriage were an equal one. Carole Kariamu Welsh choreographed "Prophecy and Prayer," a haunting but less than evocative work in two parts. "Prophecy," a study in emotional and religious fervor, maintained a subtle ambiguity throughout. A siren moaned as dancers began a trio of half-gestures building in intensity. The dance itself was clearly transcendental in tone, but it was difficult to tell whether Billy Paul's song to Lucifer was a hymn or an exorcism. Body and soul Ms. Welsh made effective use of body exercises, soul movements, and human gestures to suggest the mediation of the ground and the sky through ecstasy. Dancers gathered and plowed in classical African gestures, their eyes darting toward the sky. There is no conflicts between earthbound and skyborne love here; both are sides of the same coin. "There's only one God/ One day the whole world will know him." The dancers soar, arms flapping heavenward, but nothing is shorter lived than ecstasy; the dancers, drugged with exhaustion, move drowsily offstage. The prophecy is over; prayer incongruous with Zodiaque.) Their prayer, like their prophecy, grows more sensual and heated with the music. Hands twist upward and finally repeat the Muslim gesture of reverence as the dancers bow. Too little devotion What was most lacking, generally, was the crisp verve needed to generate the audience's belief in the elevated sense of devotion. One dancer, a notable exception, very calmly combined sultry movements with angular swings of her long arms. Was this Ms. Welch? We expect so, as she was listed on the program as one of the dancers. "Lo/13/ve," choreographed by Linda Swiniuch, is Zodiaque's (unconscious?) ode to State University life. Seventeen chairs remain on the tiny studio floor, severely constricting movement and focus. In "Searchlessness," the first of 13 pieces, clever advantage is taken of the effect by having the group make tentative leaps from their chairs. Then, one by one, each circuits the chairs in her own style. And then there's the old "weave-the-net" mass walk, a frenzied and accurate picture of UB/U.S. life. "Sweet Virginia,” written (as was most of Zodiaque's music) by pianist Ray Leslee and performed by Art Levinowitz (sax), Jay Herscher (flute), and Leslee (piano and vocal), typified Zodiaque's attempt to render the music literally. Chairs and surplus dancers immobile, the male and female dancers have just enough room to walk blissfully (and gingerly) hand in hand. flutist and then the saxophone player in unison, suddenly breaking into the jitterbug. Concrete movement is fine, as long as it looks good. Awkward motions should be redeemed by their originality or wit; here, there was neither. An irrelevant ideological note: "Lesbian Dream" is the saving grace in a repertoire whose theme is shaded by a very male-subjective lyric. ("I am a woman in pain/ Waiting for the wind to blow my tears away" is a typical lyric from "Diamonds.") It is also the most moving by far, depicting a woman running among lines of dumb-faced people walking in slow motion. It is visually but not athletically impressive, a fault which is also typical of the pieces. "Courante," for example, was the story of a group of beginning ballet students who dance badly. Period. It called to mind a New Yorker review of a drag ballet company which, in grotesquely mimicking ballet form, tells us nothing new. To mimic is to portray in all seriousness the best, not the worst, of the class. “In a Time," written by Maya Angelou, is another lovely song which loses something through literal translation into dance form. The rhyming is studied: "Half-truths told and entire lies/ My conscience thunders/ The pain stalks into plunder." What that last line means we'll most likely never know, but its meaning isn't much enhanced by a new Flawed 'Diamonds' “Diamonds," too, exhibited this flaw: Ms. Swiniuch allows Leslee's lyrics to concretize the dance's meaning, and his music to generate stark pop movements. In "Dilemma," the dancers mimic the rendering of the "touch me, feel me" theme portrayed by the daisy chain of dancers. What individual dancers lack in expertise should be compensated for by bravade, at least, or a rigorous attention to a limited range of pieces. The number of pieces taken on by the group was itself too great, perhaps, considering the time and energy needed to master each one. It's in the detail, not the scope, where dance's potential greatness resides. Arte. Ray likes to work with mixed media, which is what led him into an association with Linda without amplification, which was a rare treat. The quality of the musicians' performances was superb, Swiniuch of the Dance Dept. I would say it was a not only in the solo spots, but begins. Yusef Lateef's somber flute and cello duet is a fitting background for the vesper-like "Prayer." The nuns walk in single file, as if in a convent courtyard. (Jim McKinley's lighting design included a pair of stained-glass windows, just right for the nuns but Dance and musk go hand in hand in the program 'Lo/13/ve' by Willa Bassen Spectrum Music Editor Although the Theatre Department's program, Dance '74, was publicized as a dance event, it was really a multi-media presentation, the music being equally as important as the dance. Perhaps if this had been made clear, audience perception would have been different. The piece "Lo/13/ve" had a live band for accompaniment, a refreshing change from the tinny strains of some ancient sound system that we were subjected to during the other numbers. (It puzzles me: dance is, and has always been, to varying degrees, dependent on the music. Doesn't the Theater Department realize how much a good stereo system would enhance their programs? Ah well, enough of pet peeves.) Leslee in the lead At any rate, Ray Leslee, composer of most of the music of "Lo/13/ve," is a dynamic and refreshing young composer/musician/talent who has been gracing our campus for a few years now. With such diverse trips as the Manhattan School of Music and a stint with Jay and the Americans behind him, you will usually find him at the center of something exciting and innovative. For instance, he was the clown behind the piano with the Commedia del' Prodigal Sun lucky meeting From the beginning of the piece, the interplay between the dancers and the musicians is delicately set up: as the dancers move aimlessly around the chairs in the piece called "Searchlessness," it is as if the chord changes are pulling their strings. The music the dancers stop and look, stops momentarily Ray gives them a part authoritative, questioningly and the movement part impish, part in-crowd look — — — begins again. Full range in the overall combined sound Leslee's music is excellent for dance interpretation: his grasp of music and composition allow him a full range of expressive qualities: from “Sweet Virginia" up-head boogie to the slow moving "Lesbian Dream" to the flowing, half-melancholy "I Believe In Us" to the almost arrogant "No One Can Take My Love." As a mixed media presentation, I found "Lo/13/ve" a very entertaining piece; my attention was constantly diverted and divided between the musicians and the dancers both groups were a pleasure to experience. And as they complemented each other so well, the whole became more than the sum of its parts. — The trio was composed of Art Levinowitz on saxes.

Gryphon Red Queen To Gryphon Three (Bell) "Checkmate," the last movement, starts off with Harvey's synthesizer mimicking a clavichord, but Gotland's bassoon soon takes the lead. In this piece particularly, the number and variety of variations off the main theme are nothing short of brilliant. At one point, the keyboards give an interesting glimpse of Bach-influenced jazz. As the movement, the album, and the chess game reach a climax, the lead is shared among all the instruments (bassoon, recorder/keyboards, guitar and Philip Nestor's bass). The music can best be described as English madrigal (medieval folk music) influenced by classical, notably Bach, with occasional jazz influences appearing, performed by a mixture of medieval and electronic instruments. A strange combination, to be sure, but it works well. The overall sound is something like a more mellow version of early Yes, with the chess theme for the album reminding one of Yes' view of love-as-a-chess game ("Your Move/AII Good People"). Because their music requires some appreciation of rock, classical, and madrigal, it isn't for everybody. However, the taste is easily acquired after a few listenings, and Gryphon provides superb music for quietly getting into. They're a band that, judging by the album and their Aud concert, really likes what they're doing and does it well. We hope —Mike McGuire & they're around for a while. Steve Milligram Some albums are fine for partying or dancing and some are better for just spacing out to. Gryphon's latest album fits the second category with distinction. Gryphon is a British woodwind-based instrumental group that was little-known here until their current tour with Yes. Their recent appearance at the Aud left some shouting for more, even though Yes was next on the bill. Red Queen To Gryphon Three is a concept album, its four movements (the only way to describe them) following the form of a chess game. "Opening Move," the first movement, is somewhat reminiscent of Bach's cantatas updated to rock. The theme is carried on Brian Gulland's bassoon (yes, bassoon) and Richard Harvey's keyboards, except for a short and fine guitar solo by Graeme Taylor. "Second Spasm" starts off on Harvey's recorder and then goes to a more conventional guitar/bass theme, simulating a chess offense. As the offense falters, the keyboards assert themselves, with guitar and crumhorn ditties interspersed. "Lament" covers the middle of the game, as one player establishes an advantage. It starts off with a lead shared by guitar and recorder, the only time those instruments co-exist on the album. The more somber bassoon takes over, only to yield to another guitar/bass lead with some nice work on tympani by i -IL ■ — 2 SUPER SHOWS What? Sip Bacardi before you mix it? CMC NEW Century v _ inutn . WOW ft IAIVEY ft CMEY PMSBflS WISHBONE *■* * Ash I've been discovering something of late that may not be as obvious as it seems: you can tell something about a record by its cover. Just look at the cover of Maria's new album. Gee, I wonder what they're trying to get across? Maria Muldaur used to sing at folk festivals. She used to sing folk songs. She used to wear long skirts. Then one day she made an album. They released a single off it: "Midnight at the Oasis." To the surprise of many (because it was such a good song) not only was it a hit, but it was a HIT! They even played it on my parent's radio station. Now Maria sings on Midnight Special and the Tonight Show. Now she wears tight pants, midriff tops and an ever-present flower behind her ear. Hippety hype: ride sexy Maria's camel for free. In the record business, there is always a battle between the artist and the PR men. Maria's career is a case in point. So is her new album. There are a number of songs on Waitress in a Donut Shop that promote the slinky sexy vamp image so obviously a product of the "men in the offices" (even the album title is part of it). Then there are the rest of the songs (happily, they make up the majority of the material) which utilize her real talents. The image doesn't even really make sense it's diametrically opposed to her background, her ability, and the sound she fits into. Initially, what was so refreshing about Maria's voice was its lack of pretension. She'd lift up to anote and qufyer there, on the verge of cracking or going flat but making it anyway. You felt like you were sweating each note out with her, and it gave her a sincere, down-home quality. This quality naturally lends itself to music that is equally unpretentious; not necessarily any one specific style (i.e., "country"), as much as a certain simplicity and purity of feeling. At any rate, down to the specifics of her new LP. — iSi _ Maria Muldaur Waitress in a Donut Shop (Reprise) lure. It’s surprisingly dry, not sweet. Lightbodied, not heavy. Delightfully smooth And so good mixed, it’s got to be good un-mixed, right? Try it. * ** Sot.. Dec. 14 8:00 pm BACARDI, nun. •1974 BACARDI IMPORTS, INC. MIAMI, FLA. RUM SO PROOF On one side of the scale, we have a bunch of lavishly arranged songs, all revolving around the same old theme on the same level (as you can tell just from the titles): "Squeeze Me," "It Ain't the Meat It's the Motion," "I'm a Woman," etc. These songs follow two basic patterns. One is the '40's "big band" sound, replete with male choruses, big orchestrations, heavy brass sections, and so on. The music itself is done very well, but Maria's fresh-air voice gets lost in the smoky night-club atmosphere. Then there are the kind of boogie/blues tunes which require a heavy voice. Maria tries to raunch hers out with techniques like rasping and sliding, but it's very self-defeating. Both of the above types gross me out. They're done very well in terms of arrangement, musical performance, orchestration. That is, they're very polished. But they're just not her, and when she is put in their settings, the result is very inconcgruous. "Squeeze Me" could be a filler by Doc Serverinsen during the midnight break. As for "I'm a Woman," originally a slow slinker rendered by Peggy Lee, now it's pass the terbacky, stomp yer feet, and pound yer head aginst the brick wall: Maria: "Cause I'm a woman, w-o-m-a-n” Male Chorus: "She's a woman" she's a woman, she's a woman, she's a woman as far as I'm concerned, this song is just about as sensuous as a potato sack. OK. So there we have the shit that the PR men at Reprise apparently think is going to sell Maria to the masses. The rest of the album is composed of some really fine tunes with a variety of feelings and styles. For instance. There's "Oh Papa," a sort of slow "Midnight" (written by the same author, David Nichtern). Here Maria's voice wafts up and down the melody line with the same airy quality as the lyrics ("like moonlight shining on the bay," that is). Or "Honey Babe Blues," a moderate-tempo country blues. Without the raunch or slink sound that are such put-ons, Maria sings a very effective blues her own way. (Of course, it doesn't hurt to have Doc and Merle Watson and David Lynley setting it up behind you). "Cool River," a beautiful little number by Anna McGarrigle, comes out like a clear mountain stream via a fairly simple arrangement and back up vocals by Anna and her sister Kate, who both have the same kind of sweet country warble Maria does. And as a matter of fact, one of the best songs is done by a small a capella chorus: a traditional tune called "Travelin' Shoes." I could go on, but I think you get the picture. Maria's new disc is almost as enjoyable as her first. She's got most of the same large host of talent helping her out, and for the most part, there's a large enough diversity of material to make each cut a new experience. But Maria Muldaur is a wild mountain flower, not a hothouse orchid, and I hope that thePR men get that straight before it's too late. —Willa Bassen - WYSL AJI.-FJI. 4 Ihntjr A Cerhjp - |mm| the ntm rf GENESIS Wed.

'Klansman': going nowhere in a flat directionless film' For just about every film that makes its way to the theatres, there is a reason. Some films are made to cash in on the current fad, as is the case with the "Kung Fu" flood, and the recent "disaster" flicks. Others are simply adaptations of current best-selling novels, and still others are put out to rekindle interest in an almost forgotten subject by presenting it in a new light (for example, Executive Action). they're These categories have one common bond then They hit hard and fast and "moneymakers." all - fade into oblivion. The Klansman could fit into each of these categories, yet manages to avoid them all. It misses fad status by coming out five years after the Ku Klux Klan is front-page news; it steers clear of any of the good books written on the Klan, and in doing so becomes a shoot-em-up fairy tale rather than an insightful study. The question is, why was The Klansman ever made? I really don't know. The film begins with Sheriff Track Bascom (Lee Marvin) trying to find out if Southerner Breck avenge a death. From here, the film goes exactly where you would expect it to. By the time the shooting starts, it just doesn't seem to matter anymore. It's obvious that director Terence Young had no idea where the film was supposed to lead. He makes no effort to explain the minor sequences in the film, such as how the woman who was raped in the beginning winds up with Breck Stancil after her husband leaves her. It just sort of happens, as do the other confusing aspects of the film. Mr. Young's casting leaves much to be desired. There is a scene where a white Reverend confronts Breck with the plight of the southern black, attacking Breck's conscience and demanding answers to trick questions. This hard-driving, devoted fighter is portrayed by the most monotonous (and forgettable) non-actor to make his way onto the screen (with the possible exception of Joe Namath). Even Burton at his worst makes handling this upstart look like playtime. For the most part. Young, a former James Bond director, gives a very poor showing. Sparks burn out The acting is an non-directional as the film is, with a few exceptions. Lee Marvin is helpless with Sheriff Track Bascom, and seems to have all but given up before the film begins. He sounds like he's reading the lines for the second time, occasionally remembering what they're referring to. He shows a small spark of interest in a scene with Burton where he reveals his membership in the Klan, but there is an undeniable feeling that both stars would rather be elsewhere. Richard Burton must be hurting to appear in the films he's been in lately. He keeps his pride, though, by putting no effort into the lousy parts, and this one is no exception. His limping, contrary, close-mouthed Breck is an exercise in non-commitment. It takes less than one minute to figure out what's going to happen to him at the film's end, and his character just glides through until then. Burton quickly abandons the Southern accent, and it's a good thing. The first two scenes consist of nothing but unintelligible mumbling. On second thought, maybe that was because he was ashamed of the lines.

Family Fun — Friday; 6 December 1974 The Spectrum Page fifteen . . �Dance, dramabow to budget cut Students can expect a decrease in the number of performances sponsored by the UUAB Dance and Drama Committee next semester. In addition to the reduction, they will probably not be of as high a caliber as they have been in the past. The reason foMhis is a lack of money with which the Committee can work. Funded by Sub-Board, the Committee asked for $15,000 last year but received only $4,000, $2,000 for dance and $2,000 for drama. The Committee feels this amount is exceedingly small, especially since it could cost $4,000 to bring one group of quality performers. So far, $3,200 of the original $4,000 allotment has been used to pay for six events the Committee has sponsored either alone or jointly with other campus organizations. Student interest in dance and drama seems to be quite high every performance this year has been sold out. A recent presentation sponsored by the Dance & Drama — Committee featured Mummenschanz, a Swiss mime troupe, at Amherst High School, which attracted about 300 students and 300 non-students. Beset by difficulties The members of the Committee dislike holding events off-campus because they feel it cuts down on the number of University students attending. The disadvantage of scheduling events on campus is the lack of space. Presently on the Harriman Theatre Studio and Baird Hall are available. Clark Hall is not available due to team workouts and an extra cost for maintenance. Additional problems are caused by the Committee's need to prepare for events in advance. It must determine the overhead costs as well as the fee of visiting artists. Problems therefore arise in getting the Federal aid to The which the Dance and Drama Committee is entitled. the the Arts adminsters Council of New York State New York for Events in Cultural National Endowment placed in State. To qualify for this aid, a request must be will pay The Endowment presentation. July for a specific already has While the Committee of the cost. one-third it is generally times, several of the Endowment made use difficult to schedule events far enough in advance. The Dance and Drama Committee has also considered separating into two committees. In this way, the members feel they can devote more emphasis to their repsective presentations. So far this move is only in the planning stage and tho effect of this move on funding is now known. The Committee will submit a detailed budget in May, requesting an increase over last year's budget. Students are urged to voice their opinions supporting dance and drama. Interested students can find the Dance and Drama Committee in the UUAB office in 261 Norton Hall. —Thom Kristich CATCH UP ON YOUR SOCIOLOGY ON THE WAY HOME.

It is Important that every graduate student who will receive a tuition waiver or tuition remission inform himself of his obligation. Me must file the TAP application early enough in the Fall semester to allow eight-weeks for a reply from the Albany Office of Regents Scholarship and Examination Center. b) Mis application must be complete and a) correct. c) Item No. 13 should indicate that his tuition assistance shall be in the amount of the difference between tuition and scholar incentive award. d) This student is obliged to provide the U.B. Office of Student Accounts with evidence of rejection (should that be the case). e) If, after eight weeks the graduate student hasn’t received correspondence, he should initiate a follow-up to the same address. Although this procedure may seem obtuse, it does provide significant expenditure offset, allowing the Graduate School to extend tuition waivers to a greater number of graduate students. 2) Graduate Students Beware!

Mr. Kozol is a fine man, and free schools are fine things to have, but I have no idea how much either benefited by our fasting About two weeks ago, the chaplain at a well-known American university succeeded in getting a substantial portion of the student body to skip one meal on their meal plan and donate the savings to help out with the world famine situation.

A prior conviction is one that has occurred within ten years of the offense. by Howard Crane by maximum one year imprisonment Spectrum The Buffalo city school system is facing another deficit year. Fiscally dependent on the City Council, the system was forced to adopt a deficit budget when it was granted only $91 million for the year, $5 million short of its proposed $96 million budget. Following the announcement of this news, James Burns, City Finance Officer, contacted Ewald Nyquist, State Commissioner of Education, informing him that the Buffalo Board of Education had adopted a deficit budget, a violation of state law. Commissioner Nyquist then confronted the Board, asking members what they intended to do to resolve the apparent illegality. The Board responded that it could make cuts in the $96 million budget amounting to a maximum of $1.3 million, if the city would agree to grant the schools a supplemental appropriation of $3.7 million. Claude D. Clapp, Deputy Superintendent of Buffalo Schools added that if the Board does not get the additional $3.7 million, it will be unable to meet its payroll obligations. To be convicted for driving while intoxicated after pleading not guilty, it must be shown through a chemical test that within two hours after the arrest there was .10 percent or more by weight of alcohol in the individual’s blood. The amount of alcohol in someone’s blood can be determined by a medical or chemical analysis of the individual’s blood, breath, urine or saliva. If you are stopped for drunken driving, a police officer may bring you to the station and request that a breathalizer be taken. You may refuse to take the breathalizer. However, your license will be automatically revoked provided the officer warned you that refusal would result in revocation, whether or not you are found guilty. Motor vehicle policy is to revoke the license for a six month period, beginning when the license is surrendered. If you are charged with driving while intoxicated and you choose to plead not guilty, it is not required that you obtain the services of a lawyer to defend you at your trial. However, as a practical matter without an attorney one is put at a great disadvantage. The stakes are high. Conviction for a misdemeanor leaves a criminal record in addition to the penalties. The District Attorney’s office has a plea bargaining policy. With the expertise of a lawyer and given certain conditions, there is a good chance of having the charge reduced. Roll-over salaries Last year, when the Buffalo schools faced a similar deficit of S3.1 million, (he Board asked the city for a budget supplement and was turned down. This forced the school district to delay the S3.1 million debt by "rolling over” the payment of some salaries until this year. The supplemental S3.7 million would maintain this year's rollover at last year's level. Mr. Clapp noted that "rolling over" seems to be a common practice when the need presents itself, but the School Board has been advised by the City Corporation Counsel that "it is not a practice that any financial officer would recommend." If you have been arrested for-driving while intoxicated, come up to the Legal Aid Clinic in Room 340 Norton Union.

Mr. Clapp feels that "large city school districts across the country are in the throes of the most severe financial crunch," and that there "does not appear to be any relief in sight." The Philadelphia School District, for instance, ran a S60 million budget deficit several years ago, but because of its fiscal independence from the city, was able to borrow the difference.

Even so, such practices as borrowing large amounts of money and rolling over are potentially disastrous for non-profit organizations, like school districts. Taxes in Buffalo and elsewhere are hitting their legal limits, while the ability of taxpayers to afford them is decreasingg. More state help The Buffalo Board of Education, its staff, and elected officials, Mr. Clapp explained, have decided to launch an intensive campaign for more state aid. Representatives of the school district plan to meet with state legislators to ask for financial relief. Backed by the Buffalo Teachers Federation and by all school employees’ organizations, this appeal is in recognition that the city is at the limit of its ability to raise adequate funds. Mr. Clapp feels that only increased state aid is the ultimate solution to the problem. The state aid system, developed at a time when the state’s cities were financially well-off and its rural areas were poor, is based on attendance. School districts receive state aid on the basis of how many students attend school each day, not how many are enrolled. The Buffalo City School District attendance runs at about 80 percent of total enrollment, while most surrounding suburban school districts run at 97-98 percent, putting the city schools at a big disadvantage in the scramble for funds.* City’s fault? Thomas Pisa, president of the Buffalo Teachers Federation, agrees that more state aid is imperative. He noted that there have been several bills introduced in the state legislature over the past few years to change the present archaic system, and that the chances of such changes occurring appear better than ever now that Hugh Carey is about to become Governor. Mr. Pisa feels that the city has not adequately funded the Board of Education in the past. The city has reduced the percentage of its budget going to education every year over the past few years, and in the eyes of Mr. Pisa, is thus not assuming its full responsibility. He said that in comparison with other cities, Buffalo schools receive the second lowest per capita funding in the state. The Board of Education is expecting a reply to its request for supplemental funds by January. If the city does not respond, there will be, as Mr. Clapp remarked, some “very difficult decisions to be made.” UUAB Fine Arts Film Comm, proudly presents ARTS—GIFTS—FOODS BankAmerlcard Card Master A Empire • December 7 & 8 Little Murders I Directed by Alan Arkin Starring Elliot Gould Marcia Rodd We carry FRYE & HERMAN Boots!

Change magazine suggested that students study because they have nothing better to do. The causes of the sixties are over, said Change, and the counterculture has been absorbed by the main culture on one hand and by heavily drug and religious-oriented elements on the other. an obstacle to higher grades. Increased enrollment opens colleges, and the grading pool, to students with a broader range of abilities. James Bartoo, Dean of Penn State’s graduate school said: “If you go back 15 years and look at the percentage of high school graduates going on to college, it was probably about 50 percent. Now, it is closer to 65 percent. As you dip deeper into the pool of available students, grades should drop.” to —continued from page 1— be ‘Grinds’ Some contend that college grades are rising because students are studying more. Change magazine released a poll of Yale faculty in which 75 said undergraduate percent performance has increased over past years. If this is true, then “grade inflation” may not be inflation at all, but a re-valuing of grades to reflect real academic Nothing to do Still another reason grades have risen is that at the height of the Vietnam War, many teachers were reluctant to give students low grades and make them lose their 2-S deferments. The teachers may have gotten into the habit of awarding higher grades and continued doing so even though the draft is ended. Finally, just as inflation in the economy feeds that college suggests The evidence accomplishment. students, even if they are not on the average as itself, grade inflation may be self-perpetuating. capable as their predecessors, are working harder, Schools that don’t wish to raise their grades may to in order to give their perhaps even hard enough to overcome initial find themselves forced graduates an even chance to get into graduate and disabilities. The main reason cited for this is economic professional school. Newsweek reported that gave up pressure. Students are applying in record numbers to officials at Hamilton College in New York when year hold line last grades attempts to the on other professional schools law, medical, dental and and graduate programs. The resulting competition their graduates couldn’t compete with graduates has fostered what Yale President Kingman Brewster from other schools with inflated grades. Admissions officials would not accept Hamilton’s argument that terms an atmosphere of “grim professionalism.” their C students were as good as another school’s B students. No ‘gentleman’s C’s”* Egalitarian trends in higher education over the few decades have also contributed to competition. Before the rise of state-supported schools, increased veteran’s benefits and growing prosperity, college education was the preserve of the privileged, the upper classes in American society. Students often took their studies less seriously, confident that their fathers would set them up in the family business, their uncle’s bank or friend’s law firm. The "gentleman’s (”' was the normal grade, because academic success was largely irrelevant to success in later life. This is no longer true. After World War II the colleges accepted thousands of unprivileged students So what? William Keogh, assistant Dean of Stanford University Law School said in Time: “Everyone coming in with a 4.0 makes it hard to evaluate the grades.” Dr. Keogh said Stanford would have to rely more heavily on standardized test results like the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Competition for places in graduate and professional schools has never been more intense. Inflated grades makes that competition even more difficult for admissions committees and students alike. When 40 percent students in a class get A’s, the student at the top of the class will find it hard to distinguish himself or herself from the classmate who worked the bare minimum to earn an A. Graduate and professional school officials have the same problem. past who could not take success for granted. They had to make good in college to make good in life. As a result, they were more highly motivated than their upper-class predecessors and fellow students. SkCU 5 pm. 7 SKI SWAP!! December 6th and 7th Sat.)

Page twenty The Spectrum Friday, 6 December 1974 . . �Cagers slow down action, upset LIU for first win by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer BROOKLYN After losing to Fairleigh Dickinson University, 81-57, last Tuseday night, the basketball Bulls bounced back the following night, upsetting Long Island University (LIU), 75-72, for their first win of the young season. Buffalo could not crack the Knights’ full court press on Tuesday. “We put the ball on the floor too much,” said Bull’s coach Leo Richardson. “We got over-confident and we weren’t ready at all for tonight’s game,” he added. “We got no help from the bench,” continued Richardson. Starting Forward Bob Dickinson played poorly in the first half, but the substitutes played even worse. The Bulls jumped out to a ten point lead early in the first half of the LIU contest. The Blackbird defense stiffened and they outscored the Bulls 20-3 in one — stretc j1 However, Buffalo remained patient, something they haven’t been in previous games. “We slowed it down,” said Richardson, referring to the Bulls usual fast break style. “That was the slowest we’ve ever played,” he added. The Bulls halved their turnovers in the LIU contest as compared to the Fairleigh Dickinson affair, obviously a major factor in the turnabout, About two weeks ago The Spectrum’s columnist Clem Colucci flippantly intimated that the Bulls would be better off without star forward Otis Horne, noting how well the NBA Buffalo Braves had done with the absence of some of their stars. An incomplete grade from last spring has rendered Horne temporarily ineligible for competition. Despite the upset of LIU, which seemingly proves Colucci’s point, the Bulls still need Horne, as evidenced by the fact that they were outrebounded in both contests. Buffalo also missed Horne’s fine outside shooting. Senior co-captain Bob Dickinson, playing against an old frined (LIU’s John scrimmage, Gary Domzalski (left), shown here bringing the bayl upcourt in an intersquad Dickinson. Fairleigh to and Syracuse lead the Bulls in scoring totaling 38 points in tosses Oddly enough Gary was held to just three by Long Island's Tom Brigone, despite the fact the that the Bulls beat Long Island for their first win of the year. Domzalski still leads squad in scoring. O’Reilly), appeared to be really psyched up. Dickinson scored 18 points, second on the Bulls to Mike Vone’s 19. “Dicks” also shined defensively, holding O’Reilly scoreless and contributing a season high of six steals. In both games the Bulls were outplayed at center. Buffalo freshman Sam Pellom was hampered by inexperience, allowing LIU star Ruben Rodriguez to dominate the boards and score seemingly at will, Fairleigh Dickinson center Steve Solop also outplayed the youngster, pulling down many offensive rebounds. Pellom did clog up the middle for Buffalo blocking six shots against the Knights. GIF by Bruce Engel It’s difficult to rejoice over, but the fact remains that a long overdue (perhaps so long that it no longer matters) action has been taken by the Student Association Executive Committee. Last Tuesday night the Executive Comm’ftee nominated Alan Rosenberg for the position of Student Athletic Review Board chairman. The vacancy of this post for the last few months can be held largely accountable to the confusion and controversy that has surrounded the athletic budget this fall. SA President Frank Jackalone was confident that Rosenberg could handle the limited duties that would be assigned to him. "I think he has had enough experience to be a good administrator.' the SA President said. However, it appears that A1 will do little more than keep the fcooks. “His job will not be qne «f setting priorities,” Frank told me in his office the other day. “All we need is a liaison to get us the answer we need from the athletic department.” Executive vice president Scott Salimando added. Several members of the Executive Committee who missed Tuesday’s meeting were very dissatisfied with the decision, not that there is anyone any better who is interested in the post and went through the application procedure. The dissenters still feel the post should have been left vacant rather than let Rosenberg have it. It would be hard for anyone to deny that Al received the appointment by any means other than default. However, it should be stated in his defense that he is reasonably knowledgeable on these issues and has successfully worked with athletic personnel in the past. Many of you should remember Mr. Rosenberg from the Travel Power incident in Ellicott two weeks ago when 40 to 50 people lost their plane rides home for the Thanksgiving recess. Rosenberg should not be held accountable for that unfortunate situation, for it certainly was not his fault. However, it is indicative of how he operates. He likes to deal on a high risk level and has been wheeling and dealing in student politics for the better part of the last three years. Eventually he had to get caught in some sort of bind. To say that his name is mud right now would be an understatement. If A1 has another accident in his new position (assuming he meets with the approval of the Student Assembly), it will be tar more serious. The entire athletic program hangs in the balance. The situation is very tenous indeed. All the powers involved seem to bet getting into secretive discussions concerning the future of athletics and some pretty gloomy rumors are starting to fly around. What we have here is an abrasive yet personable individual walking into a situation that may require the ultimate in kid gloves. 1 wish him all the luck in the world. 1 suspect he’ll need it. Meanwhile, the SA officers have been hard at work toward another long overdue endeavor. The survey, designed to determine exactly how the entire student body feels about athletics as well as the other things the SA funds, is an excellent step toward the proper representation of student desires. Only your participation in it can make it work. If it works it would be the biggest boon possible to a representative student government. If it doesn’t work, we may be stuck with the same problems forever, although it is possible that athletics might not survive very long. The SA officers would like it to work so that they will have something to go on, some proof to support budgetary policy. If the survey receives wide participation and is not acted upon by next year’s officers, they will probably come under as much criticism as this year’s officers have. And they will deserve it a lot by Dave Hnath After a short vacation, the Wizard is back to continue his recent success on the pro football scene, and take a stab at the college bowl games as well.

No. 41 University Wednesday, 4 December 1974 of New York at Buffalo Womens’ Studies and Furnas receive conditional approval Charterin Committee approves nine of the colleges action,” adding that it was apparent that College representatives are willing to discuss this point and work to resolve the problem. by Mike McGuire Spectrum Staff Writer by Richard Korman Womens’ Studies and Clifford Furnas Colleges the only two Colleges that must comply with certain conditions set down by the Chartering Committee if announced plans this they are to receive charters week to oppose the Committee’s recommendations. In a statement released Monday, Womens’ Studies announced that it was initiating a petition drive and mass protest under the banner “self-determination, not sex discrimination to counter the false issue of reverse discrimination.” A rally will be held tomorrow in the Fillmore Room at 12 noon. Members of Clifford Furnas College will also discuss possible courses of action at a staff meeting tonight. Jerry Thomer, acting headmaster, said Monday that while the College will explore the possibility of joining the Colleges Council, the one stumbling block to its receiving a three year charter, he would seek permission from the administration to allow Clifford Furnas to remain independent. Representatives from the College of Progressive Education have not yet decided what action, if any, they will take in response to the Committee’s recommendation not to grant the College a charter. Campus Editor — The Colleges Chartering Committee recommended last week that nine of the twelve existing Collegiate Units be chartered. In a detailed report to University President Robert Ketter dated Nov., 27, the Committee asked that the College of Progressive Education not be granted a charter, but instead continue as a workshop — beginning next semester. The Committee also requested, after two months of open hearings, that charters be granted to Clifford Furnas and Womens’ Studies College for periods of three to five years, respectively, only if they fulfill the following requirements: Clifford Furnas must agree to participate in the Colleges Council, and Womens’ Studies must abandon its policy of excluding men from both its governance and some of its courses and activities, and clarify its use of the word “woman” in its charter. (College Z, which studies law and criminal justice, decided to disband rather than seek chartering. Parts of Z’s program are expected to be continued by Urban Studies College.] Major changes seen In a telephone interview Monday, Dr. Ketter said he will decide no later than Jan. 1, 1975 which Colleges should be chartered. The New Year’s Day deadline is presumably designed to give students enough time to register for courses in those Colleges which receive charters. The nine Colleges recommended for unconditional chartering were granted charters ranging in duration from three to Five years. Two of these Colleges Cora P. Maloney (formerly College E) and Urban Studies will be subject to a “limited review” after 18 months. The recommended chartering of most of the existing Colleges stood in sharp contrast to fears voiced by many Collegians last spring that the passage of the Reichert Prospectus by the Faculty-Senate and the subsequent chartering process would destroy many of the Colleges, particularly the more radical ones. But in the opinion of soern observers, the chartering process has drastically transformed several of the Colleges from the loosely innovative, experimental bodies they once were to more conventional academic units. - - Possible duplication cited In denying a charter to the College of Progressive Education, the Committee cited plans by members of the Faculty of Educational Studies to develop a program similar to that proposed by the College According to Chartering Committee guidelines, each College was required to demonstrate its uniqueness within the University. Furthermore, personnel changes and the decision of the new master to begin a full year’s sabbatical, along with possible policy disagreements among members of the College, led the Chartering Committee to believe that a Workshop format would be the best way for the College to develop its program The Committee’s insistence that Clifford Furnas College join the Colleges Council stems from its belief that active participation in the Collegiate System is inherent in the requirements of the Prospectus. “To require all the Colleges except to participate in a common system seems neither fair nor wise,” the Committee report explained. But even if the Prospectus did not exist, the report continued, “cooperation among the Colleges seems eminently desirable on both practical and intellectual grounds.” Favor and praise Besides the conditions which Womens’ Studies College must meet if the Committee’s recommendations are endorsed by Dr. Ketter, the Committee also found other problems which it said affected the Colleges chartering (see accompanying story). Despite the rejection of the Progressive Education College and the conditions placed on chartering for Womens’ Studies and Clifford Furnas, most of the Committee’s recommendations were generally favorable and stocked with praise of each College’s programs and goals. Less controversial Colleges like B and H, which sailed through the Committee hearings with little difficulty, won firm support in their endorsements from the Committee. Cora P. Maloney College (The College of the Poor), which underwent drastic changes from a loosely defined program accenting experimentalism and innovation to a community-baaed College directed toward non-tradHional and deprived students, also woh .warm approval from the Committee for being under the direction"of competent community and faculty members. —continued on pag* 9— * Academic freedom? The Committee also took issue with the College’s committment to academic freedom. Acknowledging that the College pursues a women from the single-minded goal of “freeing oppression of a male dominated society,’’ the Committee asked whether the College’s categorization of this oppression as a “non-debatable fact raises the question of whether or not the College is as committed to the concept of academic freedom as they are to womens’ freedom.” The Committee has also asked the College to redraft its charter to clearly indicate when it uses the term “woman” or “women” genetically or in an exclusive sense in the charter document. At the open hearing last month, one Committee member had questioned why the charter stated that all women instead of all members, would be eligible for roles in governance. A College member replied that “women” was used in the generic sense to mean “person,” in much the same way that “men” is often used without connoting males exclusively. ... ... , Interpretation Must include men Womens’ Studies, in its Monday statement, The Chartering Committee, after holding open claimed that “the collective rather than hierarchical hearings for almost two months, recommended last governance structure of the college,’’ as well as week that Womens’ Studies be chartered for a period doubts that it was not fully committed to academic of five years, pending its adoption of an explicit, freedom, were the main drawbacks “specifically nonexclusionary policy in its courses and activities, outlined by the except as provided by an appropriately constituted Disputing these claims, Colleges Dear Irving University Review Body.

College. “This as a clear case of sex discrimination,” the report The Committee report does make reference to the issue of academic freedom, and although the report did not refer specifically to the idea of collective governance, it included as a problem with the Womens’ Studies charter a provision calling for two administrative officers. The Reichert Prospectus mandates that there be one “administrative officer.” The report concludes that an agreement for one of the two coordinators to act as administrative officer in interactions with the Dean of the Colleges “may possibly meet the intent of the Prospectus.” One College member insisted that the issues of collective governance and academic freedom had as much of a role to play in the Committee’s decision to grant conditional chartering as did the reverse discrimination issue. Discussing the College’s governance, she said that the University review committee that will make the final decision on whether to allow men into certain courses would probably have less background with which to make such decisions that the presently constituted collective government of the College. ... However, the Committee stressed that it was to accept the idea that some courses, or sections of courses, should be offered only to women if the College can give justification for such Clifford Fumas The Chartering Committee’s report on Clifford Fumas College explains that while the College had met all the requirements of the Reichert Prospectus, it did not agree to participate in the Colleges Council, the internal governance body of the Collegiate system. The College officially withdrew from the Collegiate Assembly in July, 1973 because if felt “oppressed by a body dominated by radical, non-residential colleges.” The College had had numerous disagreements with the Assembly concerning policymaking and funding before receiving permission from former Academic Affairs vice-president Bernard Gelbaum to withdraw from the Assembly. The Committee’s report states that it is “imperative for Clifford Fumas College to join the Colleges Council and to participate fully in the College system, including the method of resource —continued on pitM 10— �IRC vote censures Weber A motion to experss a vote of confidence in Leigh Weber, Inter-Residence Council (IRC) President was defeated by the Council’s representatives last Wednesday. The tally was eight to six, with one abstention. Because of the resolution’s wording, the vote indicated only that the Council did not wish to express its support; it did not require impeachment or demand resignation. IRC Member-at-Large Steven Schwartz, the resolution’s sponsor, said in a six-page statement that he hoped the vote would result in a “change of attitude” on Mr. Weber’s part.

Mr. Schwartz said he had voted in favor of the original motion “with the attitude of ‘let’s wait and see,’ hoping things would get better,” but he has since changed his mind. “I voted the wrong way. IRC has gotten worse. The attitude is lower now than ever before,” he claimed. Mr. Schwartz condemned the IRC Executive Committee for its lack of unity and effectiveness and its attitude of “non-importance toward everyone who was not an IRC officer.” He described an Executive Committee meeting at which he felt he and-fellow member-at-large David Brownstein were the only ones taking the proceedings seriously.

Mr. Weber hopes that IRC’s effectiveness will increase as a result of a tampus-wide security committee referendum next week on IRC’s new Leigh Weber constitution, and the recent work of a committee that is studying Food Service. A publicity program to advertise these changes will also be instituted, Mr. Weber said. He feels that a change in priorities of the executive committee is needed, in addition to the change in attitude that Mr. Schwartz advocates. Mr. Weber cited the fact that the committee spent only fifteen minutes recently discussing problems with food coupons, and two hours discussing a dispute between Area Councils. Election to an officer’s position in any organization, he believes, whether it be IRC or SA, results in a “temporary ego trip” that stimulates tension about even the most trivial things. But Mr. Weber feels that everyone including himself, is now coming down to earth.” and ready to work together toward constructive goals. He said the frustration that led to the defeat of a vote of confidence in him stemmed from IRC’s failure to spend enough time on student needs.

A series of statements by officials high in the Ford administration and the opening of hearings on the marijuana question by a Senate subcommittee have moved the federal government away from the harsh anti-marijuana stance of the Nixon administration. The most striking event was a speech recently made by Robert L. DuPont, the Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and head of the White House Office on Drug Abuse Prevention. Speaking before a national conference held by NORML, Dr. DuPont stressed that criminal penalties for marijuana use “are costly and should be avoided.” He said that special federal attention has been given to the Oregon marijuana laws, which call for apprehended users to pay a $100 fine a fine which is handled much like a traffic ticket Dr. DuPont also emphasized the medical uncertainties of pot use and said that while heavy criminal penalties should not be (CPS) — — imposed, the use of marijuana should always be discouraged. He was followed on the NORML rostrum by J. Pat Horton, Lane County Oregon’s District Attorney, who spoke specifically on the beneficial effects of the Oregon law. Mr. Horton said that since the new law took effect, police have been able to concentrate their time and energies on more violent crime, and that the Oregon prison population is now properly made up of felons rather than marijuana smokers. Thomas Bryant, a member of the privately-funded Drug Abuse Council, pointed out that according to a recent survey, 40 percent of Oregon’s pot smokers say they’ve begun smoking less since the law went into effect. Mr. Bryant, however, could offer no explanation for this. Dr. DuPont reemphasized his position at hearings held November 19 and 20 by a subcommittee of the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee, chaired by Sen. Harold Hughes (D-la), which has been holding hearings on marijuana. Senator Hughes and Jacob Javits (R-NY) introduced a bill early last year calling for the removal of all criminal penalties for the private use and possession of marijuana. “AMERICA* ° Dr. DuPont told the subcommittee that he opposes jail terms for marijuana users, but that the legal and medical aspects of marijuana are two different things.

Nationally, a total of 1121 women ran for seats in state legislatures, and many more were candidates on local county levels. Genevieve Starosciak, Karen Burnstein, Rosemary Gunning, Carol Bellamy and Mary Ann Krupsak were among this year’s victorious female contenders in the New York State elections. Two others, Barbara Wicks and Midge Costanza, fought hard battles but were defeated. All the women candidates agreed, though, that both the public and the legislature must now realize that women are just as capable as men in politics. Old boy’s?’ The election of Mary Ann Krupsak as lieutenant governor was especially encouraging to women politicians in New York State. “Mary Ann’s election means there will be a new impact in legislative reform,” said State Senator Karen Bumstein of Nassau County. “Her presence presidential campaigns in Monroe County, was the vice-mayor of Rochester, and on several Democratic state and national committees. “Women candidates are often placed on a ticket as ‘sacrificial lambs’,” explained Sen. Bumstein, “simply becuase nobody else wants to run.” served Style “Candidates with status are taken seriously,” Ms. Wicks pointed out, “although a woman candidate has it rougher than her male counterpart, even if both start at the bottom. It is easier for a man to attend the cocktail parties and get friendly with the male party leaders,” she claimed. Sen. Bumstein, though, disagreed with this viewpoint. Although admitting she “didn’t have much trouble getting her success against an Community activity All five women encouraged women to join political activities at all levels, including business, law and government. “Insist upon policy-setting and campaign-managing if you feel you are qualified,” advised Sen. Burnstein. “Don’t let anyone shove you into making coffee or stuffing envelopes.” The road to political success for leaders like Bella Abzug, Carol Bellamy, Sen. Burnstein and Ms. Krupsak began with a career in law. But, Ms. Costanza insisted “fancy degrees” aren’t necessary.*“1 didn’t even go to college, and look at me now. All Personality Rosemary Gunning, Republican State Assemblywoman from Queens County, said “it was easier for me to make a break into politics because 1 had friends among the Republican Party leaders, but 1 made these friends by being active in community affairs. It’s personality that keeps you in of the party,” she emphasized. “politics is still a man’s game,” Ms. argued. “The unfair part is that women are not experienced, are unfamiliar with the tactics, and so are at a disadvantage from the beginning,” she said. Ms. Costanza agreed that “men do have the you need is to be informed and to be active. Let your voice be heard. “Some of the biggest bubbleheads with foot-long degrees are sitting in Congress right now,” Assemblywoman Bellamy and Gunning explained that “recognition of your community helps more than political connections sometimes. Be involved and at the foreground of community affairs.” The outlook for women in politics in the ’70’s seems bright. Most women politicians who have achieved their goals agreed that “a woman can gain the recognition and respect of her community and her political party with the right personality and lots of ambition.” Bella Abzug, Congresswoman from Manhattan, has been cited as a perfect example. “Women can be effective legislators,” Ms. Abzug insisted. “Just let them know you won’t be pushed around.” Ms. Abzug’s determination has brought her House Committee appointments that were once considered out of reach for a freshman Congressman. “She didn’t like the seniority system, and she fought against it,” one of her staff members said. “She gave them hell.” upper hand in the game. In some counties, women have it easier only because they have a progressive male county chairman. The entire matter is largely luck, more than qualification and drive.” Subtle obstacles All the candidates interviewed agreed that the success or failure of a woman’s overall political career depends on her Stung by her heavy loss to Rep. Kemp, Ms. Wicks still believes she was better qualified for the seat. “I had the labor personality, and that if a woman is strong on the issues and is able to assert herself vote, Midge Costanza, the unsuccessful Democratic Congressional candidate from the Rochester area, agreed that there are definite obstacles against women entering the political system. “Finance is one key to her experienced male opponent to 12 years of in city politics, and to her many supporters in the city’s ‘political machine.’ “I believe I was elected on the issues.

Burnstein insisted. “We all vote on the same issues, and if it came right down to it, we are all probably just as rotten and corruptible.” “A woman elected to office intends to accomplish what she believes is necessary,” noted Ms. Starosciak, who intends to modernize the County Clerk’s office as well as fight for a speedup of the county’s economic growth. A spokesman for Ms. Krupsak assured New Yorkers that the new lieutenant governor will dedicate equal time to each of the important concerns of the state. “Of course, inflation is our major concern, but Ms. Krupsak’s presence will also assure women that issues such as abortion and child care will not be neglected,” she said. would have been elected five years earlier.” Ms. Constanza helped coordinate several in state government will affect legislation,” she said. Sen. Bumstein believes “the issues that affect women directly, such as rape, abortion, child care will be given equal time with the other issues,” and predicts “the legislature will begin to move away from that ‘old boy’s club’ attitude.” “The ‘old boy’s club attitude’ hurts more than just legislation,” said Democrat Barbara Wicks, who lost to Jack Kemp in an Erie County Congressional race. She feels the attitude that “they are defeated before they start” is keeping many women out of political races. “Women politicians are equal to men,” she said, “but the present political ‘chess game’ does not leave room for them to demonstrate their 1 had previously been an elected official, I had background in government. I ran on the issues, and I lost.” She added that her opponent had no government experience prior to his first term in thinking, intelligent person, they start taking you seriously,” she said. All the women saw a need to equalize female and male representation in the legislature. “A woman politician is the political success. Women candidates are traditionally expected to lose, so they have a hard time raising money,” Ms. Constanza said. She felt prejudice is another key. “I ran for city council last year and won. If I had been a man with my experience in civic, social, and charitable activities, I Bella Abzug against opposition, she can succeed. “A lot of women are too self-conscious ‘rights’ and ‘equality’,” Gunning claimed.

Page five �Editorial Defending Womens' Studies The College Chartering Committee's decision to grant unconditional charters to njne of twelve existing Colleges is in some ways a welcome reaffirmation of the importance of alternative education at the University, but its recommendation to charter the Women's Studies College only if it meets certain "conditions" is, in our opinion, a serious mistake. Committee members certainly deserve praise for conducting the of the hearings in a manner which enabled each College to carefully articulate its programs and goals, and for evalutaing most of the Colleges as objectively as any external group could hope to in the face of a controversial Prospectus. Although not specifically mentioned in its recommendations, the Committee has suggested that a University-wide review board be established to deliberate on the question of exclusivity. But by making the chartering of Women's Studies contingent on resolving, on the one hand, the question of who can best determine which of the College's courses should or should not exclude males the College or an external review body the Chartering Committee has demonstrated an inability to undertand the flaws of external review. bulk — — In a report that is now on the desk of President Ketter, the Committee states that it is "willing to accept the idea that some courses, or sections of courses, should be offered only to women if the College can give justification for such action." How can the Chartering Committee or any outside group for that matter be expected to fully grasp the College's reasons for eliminating from some classes the prejudices and stereotypes that men would inevitably bring to them. As the College has pointed out in a letter to the Committee, the "presence [of men in those courses] leads at best, to a lot of argument about women's experience, and at worst, to the silence of women, as we succumb to traditional power relations and stereotypes." At one point in the Women's Studies Open Hearing, a member of the College was asked if the College would teach a course that did not hold as its basic premise that women were an oppressed group. Her response was: "Would a geography instructor teach a course that held as its underlying premise that the world is flat?" It is no small wonder why Women's Studies is skeptical of any outside unit’s ability to understand the need for some measure of exclusivity. — — The College's other stumbling block to receiving a charter clarifying the use of the word women in its charter is actually a rather silly question of semantics. Although College representatives insisted at their open hearing that their use of the word was strictly generic, in much the same way that men is used in the universal sense, and that males will not be deliberately excluded from the college's governance, the Committee has insisted on a clarification. - - In considering the total effect of the chartering process, the fact that three-fourths of the Colleges have definitely been chartered should not obscure the qualitative ramifications of the chartering process. It remains to be seen just how much the Reichert Prospectus' quest for academic legitimacy has actually changed each College. Only time will judge the accuracy of the fears voiced last spring by many Collegians that the Reichert Prospectus would destroy innovation at the University.

ABC kept showing a cutesy little “Happy Leftovers” all day Friday, or at least whenever they showed a football score. As somebody at my house observed, it is an interesting place to be when you assume that everyone has leftovers. But then what’s a mild recession now and again to a diehard fottball fan? So the automobile industry is falling on its rear badly, so the coal miners are uncertain enough about the new contract offer to maybe say no, and put the steel industry into a mess. So what? I wonder if ABC would get a little anxious if they decided to reduce the number of hours of TV broadcasting due to a severe power shortage due to a lack of coal? Seems as if that might illuminate the power of the system on everyone who is interdependent within it very clearly. Having tripped over it several times in recent months, not to mention it falling on his tow repeatedly, and finally biting hin) on the ankle, President Ford has allowed as how we might be having a recession. There is candor in government for you. Clear, farsighted observation. Now, just what do you suppose we are really economically, if he is willing to talk about a recession. Maybe things are even worse than I thought. What does he know that I don't? I don't think of myself as a radical. Things that go “boom” make me nervous, and I have trouble with sweating palms. Orso it used to be in the glorious days of basic training. But when you notice at the end of an articles about bicycles, and how sales of them are, that the only kind of bike for which demand is not off substantially are the very expensive luxury models I do wonder some. Most of us come from middle class backgrounds, at the worst. Dealing in services and administration rather than industry. If something bad happens to the people who make the goodies the cars, the houses, the concrete economic realities the rest of us have to get in trouble at some point. How do you feel. about milk? Whipped cream? Cheese? There are very few dairy farms that aren’t struggling right now, fewer still where there is someone to step in and run the operation should the current owner decide to call it quits.

There ladies and gentlemen is the leadership of our country. Willie Willie, damn - . . . it put that back on!!! There are clear temptations to feel that certain clods that would be missed less from this continent than others. Those that so tempt me are frequently people who have decided to try and be powerful. There is power and power however. If you earn it by doing something or being something clearly enough to give people a free choice, or at least as free choice as your going to get, so be it. When your power descends from being politically reliable and stable, as in Ford’s case, or from a seniority system which favors those who can stay in office the longest, or in Mill’s case, nobody got to say anything about it very directly. Which may be typical of the way a lot of decisions get made. Anyway the moral of this mess has to do responsibility I guess. There is a lot of with stuff happening around us. I have no particular solution to the automobile industries problems. Don’t want TL to have. Might in fact be a wonderful time to inquire as to the quality of a national goal 'Mi’llHI which involves producing what, seven million, 10 <9 some . g* million? cars a year. Do we really need that kind of ostentatious consumption, or is our economy by Stceae needing something like a real overhaul? Can you imagine someone named Ford getting us out of the automobile industry? How about a few thousand liver dialysis machines just for kicks or to keep occupied? Or a mechanical cow to replace the ones that many not be around much . .. _ * Vl£ Q1 UHlQ .. longer. The responsibility is to yourself, I guess. It has to do with what kind of world you want to live in, and share with the people around you. More directly it has to do with the reality that these changes and shifts are going on around you, and that you have to work a little to notice it sometimes.

Family Planning Clinic (formerly Birth Control Clinic) appreciates the recent article (11-22-74) in The Spectrum informing the University community of our services. However, one very important point not brought out in the article was the fact that we have been repeatedly plagued by financial worries since our opening in 1972. A major contributing factor to this problem arises from some of our most vocal supporters: the patients themselves. Many women who make appointments at the clinic consistently fail to keep them without cancelling. With people waiting to use the clinic we, therefore, serve less than the minimum number of patients necessary and have less funds coming into the clinic than go out for expenses. We are proud of the clinic, one of the few like it in the country. However, if it is to remain open it must break even financially. We hope that all students who act responsibly about family planning will in the future act as responsibly toward the clinic , itself. Thank you.. » LuJean Jennings Director ; U.B. Family Planning Clinic �TRB from Washington November 26, 1974 The marble blocks lie in the moonlight like white bones and I try to imagine what they were like when they were columns in the Roman Forum. From that marble bench Cicero may have risen to denounce Cataline. Senators moved to seats on the right to vote yes, and to the left, no. They literally “took sides.” the orator spoke from the rostrum, so named for the rams, or rostra, taken as trophies from enemy warships and fastened on the platform. The great stones lie there, testifying that empires decline and fall. Now the world shrinks again, back to the one world that Rome conquered and controlled. The World Food conference just held here dramatized this. There are about four billion people on earth, half of them hungry and maybe (though estimates differ) 460,000 malnorished or actually starving. Can the world survive, half famished and half fed? 1 made discoveries at this conference. One was the “population” is a naughty word, like “sex” to certain Victorians. The Chinese delegate, the Russian delegate, and the Pope, all condemned population control. Vet at the present rate the earth’s population will double in 35 years, with the growth of food already out-paced. “The conference is absolutely schizophrenic,” said observer Grant Cotram of the University of Wisconsin. “Delegates have pushed population into the comer yet it is the absolute determinant of the food crisis.” Another thing I learned is the way a lot of small countries dislike us. We so want to be loved. Why don’t they love us? Well, in Ceaser’s time did the Gauls love Pome? The U.S. has six percent of the world’s population but used 40 percent of its resources. Cm such an imperial discrepancy last? Things move faster now. Someday all the legions come home. Look at those stones. nations like Yemen and Upper Volta regard us askance. After all, when half the world was hungry, imperial America paid farmers not to grow food. We slaughtered claves the other day too. This is no new thing. What is new is that the United States is now for the first time itself aware of it. Then there is the matter of trade. We and the other rich members of our club set the terms of world prices: For every ton of rubber, or sisal or tea that it took in the 50’s and 60’s to buy a tractor from us, it now takes two tons. When we complain the Arabs fix the price of oil, the have-not nations * , slap their sides with laughter. They would like to do the same thing. Has Washington any plan if there is another embargo? From here there seems to be no energy plan; indeed, is there any government at all in Washington? How about the payment of petro-dollars? The sum is huge. Can anybody vizualize $60 billion? That is about the total amount the oil cartel will ask from the world in just one year. A friend with the World Bank tells me, “It can’t be paid.” When I ask what he means, he shrugs. The dollar has been sinking in terms of gold, and we are preparing a self-inflicted wound of letting individuals buy gold again January 1st. Some expect a “run,” not against banks but against money itself. The highlights of the Food Conference was the unexpected attack by Secretary Butz on Senators Humphrey, McGovern and Clark of his delegation before a startled press conference on the next-to-last day. The delegation has cabled President Ford for authority to promise more aid, and Butz himself signed the telegram, under pressure. Finally came the negative reply. Humphrey had pleaded eloquently for more famine aid, making his case publicly and privately, but I thought, with in the bounds of propriety and courtesy. Butz’s thin, pinched face, as he repeated, “three Democratic senators” in a kind of refrain before about 200 reporters and spectators, made him look like the self righteous farmer with a pitchfork in the picutre “American Gothic” by Grant Wood. By inference he charged the senators with denigrating their country in foreign parts. Further, they had put compassion before a balanced budget. And so Earl Butz presented the gut issue more dramatically than anyone had thought possible: what sacrifice will America make for starving people? One can sympathize in a way with Secretary Butz. America’s record of food-giving is generous. As Humphrey told me, many critics of the U.S. do not have clean hands, they have not fed their own people. Local left wing claques at press conferences here followed the radical chic line, seeming to imply that last summer’s U.S. drought was a CIA plot. It was all too much for Earl Butz whose one solution is the market economy. Looking back on all this, I think the Food Conference did a good job in centering attention on the immediate emergency. But the longer problem remains how to feed a swelling population on a small planet with finite resources. America cannot continue much longer as World Food Bank, as it has for 25 years the problem is too big. Social revolutionaries are required right back in the poor countries themselves to free the small farmer and the landless, loinclothed laborer. Television won’t stop showing us the emaciated child with birdcage ribs and the mother too listless to brush away the flies. Time to leave the forum now. Time to grab a Fiat taxi, surefooted as a cat, that scampers over cobbled Roman roads whose very manhole covers show the imperial letters “SPQR.” What price grandeur? The white blocks ask that in the moonlight. — - Shameful knowledge To the Editor. Responding years to horrors” in the Nov. 22 Jeff Kittay’s “Shameless issue of The Spectrum, when you don't have enough knowledge about a subject, it is better not to talk with much confidence about it because this reflects nothing but ignorance. First, the problem in the Middle East is not a problem of refugees. So it is not whether the wealthy Arabs are helping the poor Palestinians or not. It is a problem of people who were uprooted from their homeland and never given the right to go back. Second, we have no doubts about “the numerous programs that Israel has to aid the Palestinians." The daily bombing of their camps in Lebanon is an example. The destruction of 19,000 Arab houses in the West Bank during the last seven is another example. deportations, The assassinations, stealing the culture and worst of all, the land, are pretty good examples of these programs. Third, I really don’t know from where did Mr. Kittay get his information that “not the majority of Palestinians who want their own land it is a vocal minority which must stir up anti-Israel sentiments.” Will you kindly tell me who gave you this ignorant knowledge about what the Palestinians want? Moreover, believe me, Israel does not need anyone to stir up sentiments against her. She does this job by ... herself for herself. Finally, every story has two sides. Try to be an open-minded person who will look at both sides, get the true knowledge and then make his judgment. Tony E.

The carnival was a great success. Thanks again. Charlotte Flury Residential Coordinator, College H Childish way of thinking To the Editor. We would like to add our comments to the letters of Mssrs. Jack McTague, Harold L. Segal, and Jeff Kittay regarding the Middle East. Mr. Segal stated: “Palestine consisted, under the British mandate, of the land east of the Jordan River, now known as Jordan, as well as that west of Jordan. For centuries both Jews and Arabs lived in this land, although there was never an independent Arab state in it. In the 20’s, the British created an independent state east of the Jordan and turned it over the the Hashemite dynasty. In the 40’s, the UN divided the remainder between the Jews and the Arabs. What was to be a second Arab state was taken over by its Arabs neighbors, who tried but failed to conquer the Jewish state as well.” It is true that Arabs and Jews coexisted peacefully in Palestine prior to WWI; the population of 1914 Palestine was 90 percent Arab. Not until after the war of 1914 did Britain get Palestine as a mandate (as well as Jordan. The reason Palestine was never an independent Arab state is the 1916 Sykes-Picot international tentatively agreement, which control over Palestine proclaimed although recognizing an independent Arab confederation. However, in 1914 the British High Commissioner, Sir Henry McMahon, had promised independence to the Arabs if they would fight against Turkey in WWI! Thus, the only reason 1920’s Palestine was not an independent Arab state was their betrayal by the British.) As for Mr. McTague’s letter, it must be admitted that it was factually correct, and we agree with it. (When reading his comments on Zionist terrorist — groups, we were reminded of still another incident. It occurred after the 1948 war. Count Folke Bemadotte, the UN mediator who had secured the 1948 truce, was murdered by the Stem gang. Bemadotte was at the time attempting to negotiate the disposition of the Negev Desert. It has been speculated that, had he not been killed, he might have been able to produce a settlement that would have forestalled further fighting for some time.) We do have some quarrel, however, with some of the analogies proposed by Mr. Kittay. Yes, the “techniques used in 1774” were “really that much different from the Israelis’ in 1947!” Unless American history has been clouded, disguised, and perverted to a hyperbolic extent, American revolutionaries did not use tactics comaprable to Irgun-Stem activities. To our knowledge, no records exist of 18th century inns full of innocent people being destroyed, as have been 20th century hotels. Guerrilla tactics, which sometimes involved the indiscriminate and unapologetic slaughter of people not directly involved in the conflict, arc not analogous to the type of tactics employed in the American Revolution; the latter involved “hit and run” strikes solely against military targets. Finally, the summary execution (sans trial) of Tories was relatively infrequent; such was not the case with Irgun and Stem “executions,” such as that of Bemadotte. But even transcending particular evetns, we feel that even more so than the formation of unreal analogies and the distortion or omission of facts, a still greater abuse of history is being performed by both “sides” in the Mideast conflict. This is the “comparison of atrocities." Statements like, How can you condemn the action of the- (fill in the name of your side) freedom-fighters, when you are faced with the unspeakable atrocities of the- (fill in the name of the other side) terrorists?” It is this sort of childish “my-people’s-sufferings-arc-greater-thanyour-people’s-sufferings” way of thinking that serves nothing more than furthering polarization. It is precisely this infantile oversimplification of history into black-and-white terms that brought about polarization in the first place. Helen A. Funicello AnnM.

He went on to admit that he had personally used marijuana from 1960 to 1965. Explaining that he did it to find out what people were talking about when they referred to marijuana use, Dr. DuPont said that it was not a pleasant experience for him and he had “no intention of using it again.” Jerome Jaffe, DuPont’s predecessor in the White House post, followed him to the stand and gave an even stronger endorsement of removing criminal penalties for pot. He said it is “barbaric” to send people to jail for mere marijuana use, and recommended that Congress either reduce penalties to a fine or eliminate them completely. He qualified this by saying he realized that without the deterrent of illegality, recreational marijuana use could increase. Hear 0 Israel For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 — Dr. Jaffe also revealed that he has held these views for a number of years, including those years he spent in the White House drug post, but that he felt compelled to keep his opinion private in the Nixon White House. As a result, he left that post last year with a “sense of frustration.” Meanwhile, the Justice Department, which enforces the federal marijuana laws, was emitting some confused signals on the marijuana issue. A week before the opening of the NORML conference, Attorney General William Saxbe said that he would not personally oppose any congressional or state efforts to change marijuana possession laws. A few days later, Earl Silbert, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, announced that as of December 2nd, his prosecutors would no longer seek Bicentennial In Stock Now! — convictions for possession for less than six joints. Coincidentally, Silbert’s announcement followed the arrest of one of his top prosecutors for possession of an ounce of marijuana, found by police investigating a burglary at his home. Mr. Silbert cited fiscal reasons for his no-prosecute policy. He called it “a conscious decision on our part to allocate our limited resources to crimes of violence.” “There’s no question the prosecution of these [marijuana] cases absorbs a disproportionate amount, of our limited resources,” he added. But Washington metropolitan police protested leniency for dope smokers, pointing to a law on the books that provides for criminal charges to be filed against an officer who doesn’t arrest a lawbreaker. Taking his cue from the police, Mr. Saxbe told Mr. Silbert that if he persisted with the policy, his reappointment might HEWLETT-PACKARD Pocket Calculators HP-70 HP-80 Business Machines Plus tha full line of HP Calculators Buffalo Textbook 3610 Main St. number “took time to discuss issues with us, donated money, and took extra copies of our literature to give to friends,” Mr. O’Neill added. “I wish we could live up to these principles," he said.

Mr. Silbert rescinded the order. Following the original Silbert announcement, presidential press secretary Ron Nessen announced that Ford “doesn’t favor any change in the federal laws on marijuana.” In the past, however, Ford has revealed that he is not the hard-liner on marijuana that President Nixon was. When interviewed as Vice-President by Dick Cavett earlier this year, Ford said that if he discovered his children smoking pot, he would not turn them in, but instead would treat the incident as a “family matter Mr. Nixon, by contrast, appointed a commission to study marijuana. In 1972 it recommended that all criminal penalties for private pot smoking be dropped. Yet Mr. Nixon was opposed to any change in government marijuana policy and eventually publically denounced his own commission for its findings. ” —continued from page 3— ... day-care service law by 1976.

And on Dec. 16, 1973, a group of latter-day patriots staged the “Boston Oil Party,” boarding a sailing ship in the harbor and throwing oil barrels overboard to protest the high profits of the oil and fuel monopolies. The PBC chapter in a small town in Maine wrote a play based on the history of their town during the Revolutionary War, focusing on a patriot family and a Tory family. The townspeople thus saw that many of their own relatives fought in the Revolution, while the Tories finally fled to Nova Scotia. Activities like these are taking place all over the country, local organizers point out, and they urge people here to get involved. “We don’t expect full-time organizers,” said members John Moorman, “but if someone wants to put in two hours every other week, that’s two hours we wouldn’t get otherwise.

He responded by winning his class, pinning his opponent in the final round in just one minute 23 seconds. Actually, Charlie would have had more trouble at 190, where Olympic silver medalist John Peterson took first. Sports Editor Buffalo wrestling star Charlie Wright competed in the 190-lb. weight class last season, went undefeated in dual meets, and pulled down several post season honors. Last March, Wright fell one win short of placing in the national tournament. 190-1 Been heavy before Wright has wrestled heavyweight before, taking second at the years ago, and Bulls with wins triumph proves spot. Michael East Stroudsburg tournament two pulling out several matches for the at heavyweight last year. This latest once again that he can win at either is happy to let Wright wrestle in whichever class he wants for the remainder of the season, confident that the senior strong man can come up with a win in either class against nearly all the Bulls’ opponents. “Charlie is as big as a lot of these heavyweights,” Michael asserted. Wright competes at 215 pounds, which is a little less than average for collegiate heavyweights. “I think. he’s got a good future anywhere,” the coach added. Wright, for his part, is not so sure he has as much potential at heavyweight as he would at the familiar 190 spot. “There’s no way I’ll stay at heavyweight all season. I can’t beat the big guys that are really good,” he said. Charlie fugures he can beat the pretty good heavyweights up to a limit of 300 pounds, though. Wright will be outweighed by a good 20-30 pounds by almost every heavyweight he faces, but he is confident he can handle it to a point. “1 was kinda lucky at Stroudsburg,” he claimed. “The reayly big guys were beated by smaller ones that I could handle.” Yet even smaller ones still outweighed Wright by quite a bit. Buffalo heavyweight wrestler Charlie Wright rolled past three opponents, pinning the third, on his way to winning the East Stroudsburg Open two weeks ago. Normally, Wright would wrestle one weight class lower, but he has moved up because the Bulls have no heavyweights.

Featuring free tea or coffee and five-cent pastries, the breakfast really packed them in, Mr. Lang commented, adding that the overwhelming response by commuters after the first breakfast was the motivating force behind Wednesday’s effort. Mr. Lang, a commuter himself, was particularly happy with the effect of such breakfasts on commuter relations. “Commuters came in groups of one and two and ended up sitting in groups of seven and eight,” he said. Lounge crowded Cis Soboleski, chairwoman of the local ride board committee, added that the breakfast provided “a service for students who would normally be sitting in Haas Lounge with a copy of The Spectrum. Commuting students agree that these gatherings are worthwhile. “I think the whole idea of having commuter things is good,” said Jo Schweitzer. Not Haas only do commuters have great trouble meeting other students, but they represent a good percentage of the student population, Ms. Schweitzer said. “They are therefore, like dormitory residents, entitled to a certain amount of social activity,” she argued. Discussing issues concerning commuter students, Mr. Lang said he hopes “to look into the whole issue of commuters with the administration.” Other problems Efforts are being made to open more local streets for commuter parking, for example, Mr. Lang noted, adding that plans for trips to Toronto and Allegheny State Park are underway, along with plans for commuter bus service to local ice skating rinks. A commuter mixer has also been scheduled for next semester, he said, featuring a $1 hot meal that will allow the commuters to remain on campus for dinner. One major project still under consideration is the creation of off-campus study centers to service students who live far from the University, Mr. Lang said, expressing the hope that greater interest among cummuters in their own and University affairs can be generated soon. Modern dance Artistic Director/Choreographer Eleo Pomare will conduct a two-day residency of master classes and workshops in modern and ethnic dance, Wednesday and Thursday, December 4 and 5 at the Black Dance Workshop, School of Movement. Mr. Pomare’s residency is part of the School of Movement’s Visiting Guest Artist Program and is made possible through support from the New York State Council on the Arts. Class size will be limited. Interested students should call 882-7676 to get a complete schedule of classes. The School of Movement is located at 11 East Utica'St. (near Main).

Even if the Faculty-Senate guidelines did not exist,” the report added, “cooperation among the Colleges seems eminently desirable on both practical and intellectual grounds.” In recommending that Dr. Ketter deny the College of Progressive Education its charter, the Chartering Committee said that while the College’s program is “undoubtedly of real value which has not yet been available elsewhere in the University, several faculty members in the Faculty of Educational Studies have recently shown serious and concrete interest in developing such a program.” The report questions whether the College’s function could not then be taken over by the Faculty of Educational Studies. Additionally, the report cited substantial staff changes as justification for relegating the College of Progressive Education to the role of a workshop. The College would still maintain its residential program, and could apply for chartering when its situation was more definite, the report said. If Dr. Ketter accepts the Committee’s recommendation, the College will cease to exist as of January 1, 1975. Elliott Smith, a faculty member of the Progressive Education College, said the College would probably not be chartered because it had little faculty involvement and a “medium to small” student enrollment of about 110. “The Committee had to get rid of at least one College to legitimize the chartering process,” Mr. Smith surmised.

In particular, they cast doubts on the Witnesses report that just before the shots assumption that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and of his own accord in the slaying. A great many of their contentions are based on the famous Abraham Zapruder film clip of the assassination, described by Mr. Williams as “the most important home movie ever made.” Mr. Zapruder, with his Bell Howell camera, captured the entire assassination, clearly recording the reactions of President Kennedy and former Texas Governor John Connally as the bullets struck. Spectrum Staff Writer The first words Oswald said to the press after his arrest were “I am a patsy.” For several months before the assassination, Mr. Williams mentioned that men, posing as Oswald, took target practice at a Dallas country club, solicited support in Florida for a pro-Castro organization (the imposter speaking of the need for President Kennedy’s assassination, and the ease with which it could be done), and purchased a car (Oswald could not drive). In addition, Oswald reacted to a picture released to the press by saying, “that’s my face, but that’s not my body.” The picture, which shows Oswald holding a rifle in one hand and Communist literature in the other, seems to be a composite of two pictures. The shadows cast by Oswald’s nose and body go in different directions. And when compared to other photos, Oswald’s chin is much squarer. hitting the President on two of the three shots. In an FBI reinactment, three sharpshooters tried to duplicate this feat. Only one of them was even capable of firing three rounds in six seconds. Oswald had only eight-tenths of a second in which to aim his first shot, according to the Warren Commission report. These men had needed, and fired at as long as they non-moving targets. Mr. Williams then went into detail concerning former New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison’s 1967 Grand Jury investigation of the JFK murder; the likelihood that Oswald was a former U.S. intelligence agent who was framed as the sole assassin; and the mysterious deaths Backward motion Among the details pointed out by Mr. Williams was the fact that Kennedy’s head jerked violently backwards and to the left. This would seem to indicate that at least some of the shots were fired from in front of the motorcade, and not from behind, where Oswald was allegedly stationed in the sixth floor of the Dallas Book Connections It seems clear that Oswald did “have friends in high places,” and worked for some years at building a reputation for pro-Communist leanings as a front for government under-cover work, Mr. Williams observed. This is substantiated by the fact that Oswald went to the Soviet Union, denounced his U.S. citizenship, and told the Russians all he knew regarding U.S. missile installations on the West Coast. Although these actions should have classified him as a danger to national security, said Mr. Williams, they did not forstall his readmission into the U.S., permission for his Russian-born wife Marina to accompany him, and a decision by the State Department to pay their air Depository. fare. & To back this up, Mr. Williams reported that two-thirds of the witnesses present at the assassination believed that at least some of the shots came from the grassy knoll at the center of the plaza the President’s car was passing. In addition, two men situated in the fifth floor window of the Book Depository (one floor below Oswald’s alleged post) were uncertain whether or not any shots came from above them. The-Warren^'Commission claims one of the bullets struck both the President and Mr. Connally, Mr. Williams pointed out. They also contend that Oswald was the lone gunman, firing a total of three bullets. If correct, Mr. Williams said this would mean that the bullet entered JFK’s back 5 inches below his neck at an upward angle, came out the front of his neck, hovered in the air for I'A seconds before making a sharp right turn and striking Connally at a downward angle, injured Connally’s fifth rib, broke his wrist in seven places, and National Security, however, is the justification for holding a number of government files closed until the year 2039. These files detail Oswald’s relationship with U.S. Intelligence agencies, Mr. Williams said. Mr. Williams, presenting his theory behind the assassination, believes that there were at least three gunmen, and five shots fired < ~ lodged in his thigh. And after all this, the bullet found on Connally’s hospital strecher and identified as the one in question, emerged unscathed, with virtually no signs of discoloration or History altered rang out, he opened the umbrella, and after the shooting ended, lowered it and calmly walked away. Mr. Wiljiams suggested that this man was a communications link who signalled gunmen to commence firing. One man who admitted to being such a communications link, James Hines, was photographed walking across the plaza with a large bulge in his back pocket. Soon aftfer Mr. Hines filed his deposition, he was incarcerated at an Air Force Mental institution. Mr. Williams stated that today, Mr. Hines’ health and whereabouts are unknown. damage. Missing person Delayed reaction? The “l'/4 second gap” is recorded in the Zapruder film, which shows Connally reacting to his wound 1V4 seconds after it would have left Kennedy’s neck. The Warren Commission explained the ambiguity as a “delayed reaction” on the part of the former governor, but Mr. Connally is reported to have said the bullet Williams said the assassination, the course of America’s history, “happened for a reason. Power changed hands that fateful day.” He believes Kennedy’s leanings toward reconciliation with Cuba and the Russians alienated some elements in his own government. The Warren Commission was “unwilling to follow the facts wherever they would lead,” Mr. Williams asserted, because they wanted to show the world that the U.S. is not “a banana republic where power changes hands by means of Mr. which Perhaps scared off by Mr. Hines situation, Emilio Santana, a man who admitted taking two shots at JFK, fled the U.S., the day after filing his deposition. Mr. Williams also denied the possibility that Oswald was capable of firing three shots from his Italian Mannlicher-Carcano (the alleged murder weapon) in six seconds, through oak tree' branches, and which have befallen 15 of the 18 material witnesses Based on their average life expectancy, the chances of 15 of 18 witnesses dying in such a short period of time are one hundred thousand trillion to one, according to a London Times actuary. Three died in automobile accidents, three of suicide, two of natural causes, one from a slit throat, and one from a karate chop in the neck. altered conspiracy.” Fatal leak A pilot named David Ferry whose library card was found in Oswald’s possession the day of the murder, was found dead in his home after a leak from Garrison’s office that Ferry might be indicted. The coroner, who first listed the cause of death as a brain hemorrhage and later changed the diagnosis to natural found dead himself soon afterward. In addition, two suicide notes were found in Mr. Ferry’s apartment with causes, was typed signatures. He concluded on the ominous note that “persons responsible for deceiving the American people for all these years are still in power in the United States,” noting that Gerald Ford was a member of the Warren Commission. It was to him that Jack Ruby, killer of Oswald, personally appealed to be taken to Washington because he feared for his life. He promised to tell Ford his story in Washington. But this appeal went unheeded, and his story remains untold to this day. NYPIRG Homemade nuclear weapons a threat by Steven Gaynor Staff Writer Spectrum The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) of Buffalo presented an exhibition last week which showed how a homemade plutonium bomb could completely destroy the World Trade Center. The exhibition illustrated that when sufficient quantities of uranium and plutonium are illegally obtained, an “elementary Page two . The Spectrum , level” of expertise in the natural sciences would be sufficient to successfully assemble a fission bomb. A reported release by NYPIRG stresses that large quantities of plutonium and uranium are going to be in transport and storage around the United States because of the expansion of the nuclear industry. These supplies “will be vulnerable targets for hijacking, theft and espionage,” the report warns. Monday, 25 . . November 1974 Richard Sokolow, a member of NYPIRG, cited a report by the General Accounting Office (GAO) in Washington which concluded that theft and sabotage safeguards are inadequate in commercially operated nuclear power plants. He also mentioned the findings of a Michigan PIRG study, in which students followed trucks which were transporting plutonium and found that in many instances, truck drivers would stop to eat and leave the truck unguarded. Mr. Sokolow concluded that it was just a matter of time before one of the many existing terrorist groups Steals a sufficient amount of plutonium to make a bomb. “Our exhibition was part of a nationwide effort to warn the American people of the dangers of our increasing dependence on nuclear energy, and to help counter oil company propaganda, which downplays the dangers of —continued on page 10— Happy Thanksgiving!

The meeting stemmed from a petition circulated by Gary Storm, criticizing the quality and quantity of food Governors at attacking and the Faculty-Student Association (FSA) decision-making process as “divorced from the direct voice of the students.” Nearly all of the living students the in Governors Complex signed the petition. Food on the weekend The petition called for the restoration of the weekend food option. Students on the board plan are currently unable to obtain meals on Saturday and Sunday because of an “oversight” according to Donald Bozek, acting head of University Food Service. Food Service has examined the weekend option for the past four years and concluded that very few students would choose the 20 meal a week plan. Mr. Bozek explained that he not realize the “captive group” on the North Campus would have to depend heavily on did the weekend option. The question will be discussed by the Food Service Advisory Committee next week, but Mr. Bozek expressed doubt about the the feasibility of reinstating seven-day board plan. (No policy changes can be enacted without the approval of the committee’s board of directors). For now, students must rely on the snack bars at Dewey and Roosevelt Halls in the Ellicott Complex, which provide only short-order � » The RIG petition claimed that “students have a right to know the quality and condition of their food-.” Mr. Bozek countered that food is examined at New Products Meeting held every two to three weeks. Most products are tested for grease and fat, while different brands of canned foods are examined, graded, and then purchased. Mr. Bozek has eaten with students and staff people and claimed that if a complete which balanced meal is taken includes a main dish, salad, beverage and dessert then the student should rarely leave the - — dining hungry. area “Furthermore,” he said, “there should be .a second table , with items on it all the time. If not, students should bitch about it.” “Students protested that the present seconds table consisted of “junky” food and leftovers. One student asked for a seconds table that duplicated the main meal of the day, explaining that other schools within the SUNY system offer students this service. Mr, Bozek that replied mandatory board contracts at those campuses permit this extra privilege. The Food Service meal plan price has risen from $245 to $280 in one year. This price increase, according to Mr. Bozek, is due to an increase in overall food costs (some 30 percent since last year, including the spiraling cost of sugar, higher employee salaries and benefits from union due in part demands). problem petitioners cited was the the lack of the in menus and variety repetiiton of some meals three to was were provided for those observing religious holidays.

Governor’s Dining Hall dietician Mildred Derme said that there would definitely be a meal for plan vegetarians next semester. But Mr. Bozek countered that if food would have to be prepared in a separate dining area or in a different way, ,“1 would have to answer no.” Ms. Derme had been informed that 100 students on board were vegetarians. She made vegetarian questionnaires available at the food lines, but only six were returned.

An open member, voluntary organization, described by co-coordinator Veronica Mishook as “just a group of people working together,” the committee provides assistance and information to rape victims, and attempts to prevent rape through an increased public awareness of the problem. Ms. Mishook cited five specific goals of the committee; To have sexually abused children brought to a children’s hospital, instead of to Meyer Hospital, where they are now treated. To improve the treatment of sexually abused women at Meyer. Currently, Ms. Mishook said, rape victims may have to wait several hours for treatment, and often are not able to talk to a counselor without first dealing with the police. T6 have preventive measures instituted on college campuses, which Ms. Mishook labelled “good - four can to please different tastes,” she said. Mr.- Bozek asked for more student and participation and the feedback, urged we - hunting grounds” for rapists. To initiate self-defense programs for women. To establish a speaker’s bureau to make the public more aware of the problem and ways to deal with it. Speakers would address social groups like PTAs, church groups, and girl scout troops. The bureau would consist solely of committee members, and proceeds would be used to finance committee expenses, including the costs of printing and distributing information. A volunteer “crisis intervention” program has - - already been set up in Cheektowaga on a trial basis with the cooperation of town police. The police have agreed to contact the committee any time a rape is reported and the victim wishes to have a volunteer with her during and after police interrogation. Described by coordinator Andrea Morgante as “paraprofessionals, not counsellors,” the volunteers offer “aid and moral support,” and are in a position to refer people to counseling if desired. The volunteers undergo a three-month training period which involves input from members of the police force as well as legal and medical experts. The program, which Ms. Morgante called a “pilot study,” began Nov. 14. If successful, it will be expanded to other parts of the Buffalo area. Capt. Bill Payne, guest speaker at Wednesday’s meeting, pointed out that in terms of self-defense, the most vital thing to do is to “get the person away from your body, and flee.” He demonstrated various ways to break holds, but emphasized that there is no one foolproof way to stop an assailant. “I can’t tell you you’ll get out of"M every time, but you can learn options to try when the situation comes up,” Capt. Payne explained. “Anything may work, but then again it may not,” he said, citing such “oddball” instances as the time a girl leaving a dance thwarted a would-beattacker by telling him to wait while she got her purse from inside. Simply “getting the person to talk,” Mr. Payne added, may also be helpful in some cases. Officers have been chosen and by-laws written for the committee, but Ms. Mishook said these are open to any changes the members deem necessary. The next open meeting of the committee is scheduled for Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. on the Buffalo State College campus, Room A213, the new Classroom Building. has in previous years, to assist in planning menus.

Dr. Frisch, acting chairman of the Program in American Studies and a History Department staff member, spent the past year teaching at Seoul National and other universities in South Korea. He explained that Koreans are “under no illusion” and would not defend their so-called democratic government as such. Maintaining that the South Korean government was “transformed dramatically” while he was there, he said it had “moved towards a pole of terror.” Repression The government’s adoption of the death penalty to punish dissent against the government, and President Chung Hee Park’s recent jailing of including poets, hundreds of dissidents politicians, students and Christian clergy characterizes the present situation, he said, adding that we are witnessing in South Korea, a “case study of the dynamics of a totalitarian system.” The U.S. is watching an “end game” to South Korea’s totalitarian government, Dr. Firsch said, explaining that the government is merely “keeping things from happening” but has no plan of action for “once it’s happened. In the case of a large scale demonstration-breakout,” the government would be finished, he said, describing its power as becoming proportional to “just how many guns” it will employ. Dr. Frisch said “the regime is becoming more and more powerful, but less and less weak,” stressing the South Korean “strong-man” government’s increasing reliance on terrorism and its inability to cope with massive dissent. — - Student power South Korean students are the “spokesmen of society,” Dr. Frisch went on. He said the average Korean “instinctively supports students,” and that students represent the culture, in sharp contrast to the “counter-culture” image of American students in the eyes of the average American. Since Koreans have seen many governments come and go, their “symbol of stability” is the student population, whereas the U.S. looks towards Page four . The Spectrum . the government and the establishment in times ot conflict, Dr. Frisch said. South Korean students have a much firmer claim on the right to speak for society than does their government, and in the case of a massive; student outbreak, the army would refrain from shooting students, Dr. Frisch claimed. The Korean student's perception of the political situation and his sense of obligation is far more impressive than ours, he said. Many illusions are not possible in Korea, he said, since “lines are clear, stakes are high," and “demonstrations mean trouble," unlike in the U.S., where there is room for “fantasy." Dr. Frisch said the Korean students’ “sense of responsibility is very energizing,” realizing that if they do manage a successful large-scale demonstration, “the government goes.” The obstacles preventing a successful mass demonstration, Dr. Frisch said, include the “high stakes,” the difficulty of organization, a lack of political leaders, the need for a “right time,” and the realization that a “bad government” may be a better choice than possible anarchy in these particularly troublesome times of severe inflation and an energy crisis. " Withdraw support The American government should not support South Korea’s dictatorial regime. Dr. Frisch declared. During the gradual but clear growth of despotism in Korea, over the past three years, the U.S. has conducted a “fluid examination of the situation,” but chose to “stand back,” he said. The U.S. has displayed its insensitivity to Korean suppression by sending a delegation of 20 Congressmen there just a week after Mr. Park’s issuance of the death penalty for the punishment of dissent, Dr. Frisch added. He explained that the South Koreans have basically “liked” the U.S. since their liberation from the Japanese, but that there has been a turn towards anti-American feelings' in recent years, although the Japanese, whom the South Koreans view as “Economic animals,” are still their major enemies, he said. U.S. ties with major Japanese corporations having heavy Korean interests, and the U.S.’s unwillingness to protest Mr. Park’s despotism, is fueling anti-American sentiment, Dr. Frisch said. He referred to President Ford’s recent visit to South Korea as “most unfortunate” and “almost too late,” adding that it “cements” us into the “vicious situation” in Korea. Monday, 25 November 1974 focuses on alcohol by Howard Crane Staff Writer Spectrum a Stevens, National of the representative Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, stopped here Wednesday as part of a project to increase awareness of the effects of alcohol on the university level. The project, sponsored by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), involves the selection of one large state university from each state, along with 10 other colleges, to hear people speak about the problems of alcohol. Ms. Stevens has spoken to almost 70 people during her visit here, including administration officials, faculty, student leaders, head residents, and resident assistants. Kathleen Attitudes Ms. Stevens feels “information on alcohol as a drug has been pushed to the background . .. and students don’t realize its effects.” Alcohol abuse is one of the leading causes of death in the l8-to-20 age group, and is also related to most suicide attempts, she said. The emphasis is not on abstinence from drinking, but on drinking responsibly, Ms. Stevens said, noting that statistically, people who drink moderately live longer than both people who get drunk often or never drink at all. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism has served in a number of functions since its creation in a 1970 bill sponsored by Sen. Harold Hughes (D.. Iowa), a former alcoholic himself. It serves as a resource, provides information and encourages other institutions, including universities, to set up their own programs and provide feedback to HEW in Washington. Ms. Stevens, because of the present exploratory status of the University program, was unable to predict what would become of her work in Buffalo, but she did say that people here have been “more cooperative than at any other university I have been to so far.” Prevention team Ms. Stevens met Friday with three of the six members of the University Drug Abuse Prevention team Alan Ermanovics, assistant director of Norton Union; Madison Boyce, director of housing; and Dr. Luther Musselman, assistant dean of the medical school, to better acquaint them with the effects of alcohol abuse. The Team, established in February, is made up of personnel from various departments of the University Besides those already mentioned, there are representatives from security, student counseling and Student Affairs. — The members of the Team, which have been meeting regularly, hope to function as a basic resource for the entire Buffalo community. In the past, they have met with local school personnel and parents, and have been approached by others. Team members see the importance of alcohol problems being overshadowed by publicity about other drugs, which have received almost exclusive attention for quite some time. Now that alcohol consumptioi. among students is on the rise, the Drug Abuse however, Prevention Team feels a responsibility to emphasize the effects of its use.

Mr. Udall will accept no contributions over $1000.) City Editor Rep. Morris Udall (D,, Ariz.) has become the first Democrat to officially announce his candidacy for the 1976 presidential race. The announcement, made last week in Bedford, N.H., surprised no one. Mr. Udall, 52, will be a candidate in the 1976 Democratic New Hampshire primary, the nation’s earliest. Last week’s announcement is one step in a process that will test the viability of his candidacy, according to Bob Newman, the Congressman’s press secretary, Mr. Udall, who will also enter other selected primaries, hopes to go into the Democratic National Convention bargaining power. with strong Experienced The 6’5” former basketball player believes he can win because he is “as qualified as anyone else,” Mr. Newman explained. He cautions others not to exclude Rep. Udall from the presidential race simply because he is a member of the House and not a Senator or Governor. Mr. Newman characterized the Congressman as “an experienced government leader who expresses the views that the people want in 1976.” does not have “overwhelming” financial backing, and no professional staff has been hired yet. Mr. Udall will try to qualify as soon as possible for the public funding system under the tax check-off procedure. (To qualify, it is necessary for a candidate to receive The Udall campaign donations of at least $5000 per state in at I A ■ Congressional support Mr. Udall is supported by 45 Congressmen who want the Democratic Party to consider nominating a member of the House for President. The group includes Charles Rangel, Jonathan Bingham, James Hanley and Otis Pike. Although columnist George F. Will has called Udall “naive” to believe that Congressmen will actively campaign for him while they are campaigning for their own reelections in 1976, Mr. Newman feels the Congressional backers have been very helpful to the Udall campaign. In recent months, Rep. Udall has visited 25 states, where Congressmen have introduced him to key local Democrats. This help, Mr. Newman believes, is very important because the new' methods for delegate selection make each Congressional district more important than ever in the presidential nominating process. Environmentalist Mr. Newman does not envision a continuation of traditional Presidential supporters feel Americans may be more open to the idea of a House member seeking the Presidency. Mondale withdrawal Mr. Newman believes the withdrawal of Sen. Walter Mondale (D., Minn.) from the list of presidential aspirants may enhance Rep. Udall’s chances, since both represent essentially the same constituencies within the party. If elected, the Arizona Congressman, a superb joke-teller who is highly respected by liberal-moderate Democratic members of the House, would be the first President to come directly from the House. The Udall announcement, less than three weeks after the 1974 elections, is only the first in what is expected to be a politics and feels that no candidate will go 1976 Convention with an overwhelming number of delegates.

Fink Spectrum Staff Writer The past, present and future of Palestine and the role of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) were explored Friday night at the forum in Norton Hall. Sponsored by the Revolutionary Student Brigade, the event was billed as an anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist forum, on the Middle East and entitled, “What Road for the Palestine People?” Eugene Bihari, professor of Political Science at Buffalo State College, opened the program with a discussion of the modern history of Palestine and the confrontations between Palestinians and Zionists. Dr. Bihari placed the origin of the conflict to a meeting in 1897, Basel, Switzerland in where the goals of the modern Zionist movement were set down. Under the “Basel Program,” Zionists were pledged to work for the creation of a home in Palestine for the Jewish people. ■ Balfour Declaration people Dr. Bihari said Great Britain had no right to pledge Palestine to anyone, claiming that the plan was violently denounced worldwide by Jews as well as Palestine Arabs. Moving ahead to the current conflict Dr. Bihari said the crux of the matter is that “Palestine must have the right to national sel f-dete rm ination”. Problems will continue as long as Palestine must strive for that right, he emphasized. At the heart of the conflict is the fact that Israel is the only country in the world which has no defined boundaries after 26 years of existence, Dr. Bihari said. He insisted that any negotiations on Palestine be held with the Palestinians, not the Egyptians or Syrains. “Only Palestinians can speak for themselves,” Dr. Bihari stressed. If a permanent settlement is to be achieved, he continued, Jerusalem must exist as an international city not soley controlled by Christians, Moslems or Jews. It is a fallacy to think that Arabs could live peacefully with Zionists, because Zionism is based on “exclusivism,” Dr. Bihari said. No country whose existence is based on religious beliefs could ever be considered democratic, so Arabs living in Israel cannot be considered equal citizens with Jews, he explained. The seed of the conflict were further sown 20 years later by the Balfour Declaration, Dr. Bihari explained. Written in 1917 by Arthur Balfour, a British official, the Declaration stated that the British Government favored making Palestine a Must fight Akram, natural home for the Jewish a student at the University, next spoke about the PLO. Because Palestinians became “fourth class citizens” when they were driven from their homeland as refugees, it was “logical" that they would organize to tight and represent themselves Akram said the FLO believes Palestine in the only home of the Palestinians, and that Palestinians have every right to tight for the liberation of their country. The activities of the PLO have been misrepresented in the media, he claimed, refuting the widely-held notion that all PLO activities involve terrorism. He said the PLO consists of two groups the popular unions, which includes students, workers and professionals, and the resistance groups, composed of political and military groups. The organization was formed in 1964 and gained momentum in 1967 as a result of defeat in the Six-Day War. The loss gave Palestine a “different trend of thought,” said Akram, because it made them recognize that the national ideoligies they traditionally clung to were not viable solutions. — PLO representative Another misconcpetion about the PLO, Akram explained, is that it does not represent all of the Palestinian poeple. He cited these facts to disprove that contention: -Eighty percent of the PLO comes from the budget Palestinian people themselves through voluntary contributions. -In 1972, a gathering of Palestinian leaders had 600 delegates. 150 of which were PLO members. These leaders announced that the PLO was the sole representative of the Palestinian people and had the support of the masses. -The PLO has been recognized by Arab governments as the representative of the of the people must be changed, he asserted. The PLO has thus been seeking to educate the masses, Akram explained. World struggle In conclusion, Akram gave three reasons why Palestinians must fight: there is no other alternative; Palestine recognizes its struggle as the struggle of the world; and fighting gives hope to the Arabs. Another panelist, from the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), discussed “Zionism and Israel as a State.” He said Israel was a capitalist state and that war was an essential characteristic of Zionism, and criticized the Zionist “Law of Return,” which allows anyone who can prove Jewish decent to become a citizen of Israel. As long as Zionism exists, war in the —Center Middle East will be a constant threat, he said. Palestinians. The final speaker, a Referring to a “radical representative of the p respective,” Akram said a Revolutionary Student Brigade, revolution was needed to liberate voiced the Brigade’s support for Palestine. There must be a the Palestinian struggle.

Yet despite these obvious dangers, construction of nuclear reactors is proceeding at a rapid pace while federal and state governments sit back and scoff at the "remote" perils of nuclear fallout. There is presently no effective way to dispose of nuclear wastes, and existing precautions leave alarming safety loopholes. Aside from the fact that one large accident might readily kill thousands of people, the possibility exists that terrorist groups might steal a sufficient amount of plutonium to make an atomic bomb. The chances of this happening become less remote if one considers the findings of a study conducted by the Michigan Public Interest Group (PIRG), in which students followed trucks that were transporting radioactive substances. In many instances, the group discovered, truck drivers would stop to eat and leave their vehicles unguarded. When representatives from the nuclear energy industry are confronted with these dangers, they dismiss tham as rank sensationalism, only to wage a propaganda campaign of their own to discredit the search for alternative sources of energy. But Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) documents obtained by The New Yqrk Times reveal that over the past 10 years, the Commission has tried to suppress studies by its own scientists when they found that the dangers of nuclear reactors were far greater than previously determined. One of these studies, which was kept hidden from the public for more than seven years, shows that a major reactor accident could have the same effect as a "good-sized weapon," killing up to 45,000 people.

Rumors arose that a battalion from Governor’s was marching on the Ellicott fortress. The divergent forces therein combined to defend the brick edifice. However, the gallant Governorian troops managed to acquire a foothold on the stairs to the second floor plaza, and scattered the defenders above. The Govemorites soon found themselves in a cul-de-sac of sorts, and were forced into a hasty retreat by the bombarding volleys from the rapidly regrouping Ellicottians. After periodic attacks and reformations, the shattered, scattered, and battered battlers of Governor’s were chased and forced to take refuge in the bowels of their building. They tried valiantly to fight their way out several times, but were repeatedly driven back in by their unrelenting opponents. And so, Paige Miller, we want you to know that this brand of Mickey Mouse coverage of major sporting events pleases us not, and will not be tolerated.

Upon reading the deep Letter to the Editor on Friday, aptly entitled “More of a Hole,” we, some various nuts on the third floor of Norton Union, have come up with some food for thought. Mr. Prawel said that Rich Co, has obtained profits from the opening of the stadium. We were under the impression that Rich Co. had to pay SI million to name it. But we feel that he is on to a \ terrific idea: Auction off the right to name the University's buildings! Just think of the revenues thus generated. We could finance five football teams (all with metal-flake helmets). And just, imagine the names! How about Dunkin’ Diefendorf, or "I've got my d o'clock class in Diefendorfs Donuts." For a mere $20,000 more, a company, or person, could completely rename a building: engineering classes in Parka Pies. Squibb Hall instead of C'apcn. Of course, this would be done yearly, to increase revenues with each buikling priced according to its size and commercial desirability. For a cool million, one could rename the entire University. How does "General Mills University at Buffalo" sound? Think about this quickly, because we're all rapidly slipping down the silo. of monetary compensation Surely. IRC officers devote Through the candidate’s campaign literature, I learned that the officers of the IRC will receive a half-rental stipend toward their room fees for their year in office, I was involved in student government and have dorm council activities as an undergraduate at Columbia; I have spoken to student leaders at many institutions and, until now, have never heard of a school so eager to give money away that it pays its “volunteers.” Frankly, 1 must question the motivation of candidates running for a $300 prize; we can only hope that those running would do so even without the “salary” and that once elected, they will not retire to their self-priced rooms and not be seen again. Simply, if a candidate is truly dedicated to serving the dorm residents, he will do so regardless or the lack of same. no more time to their duties than members of other campus organizations who serve without "pay." How can the Housing Office justify this are subsidy while students the dorms in hard-pressed to meet the room fees? Residents could, no doubt, make many suggestions for better places to spend their money. 1 believe that the Housing Office should re-evaluate its policy in this matter; no doubt it will take time. In the interim, the candidates should now pledge that if elected, they will return the equivalent sum of their payments to IRC general funds, or perhaps donate them to the Financial Aid Office for distribution to those whose need is demonstrably greater. Donald R. Bloom field (I.aw 77) Look here Grump To the Editor. This is a response to a recent article (“The Grump”) by an individual named “Steese.” My first thought, as I feel about many such exposes, was to toss it away as another “freak-type” article. But this my home. particular one hit a little closer to home The main point of the article was to question what one does with his spare time. 1 must cheerfully admit that I and my girl friend were in that “seemingly endless string of stadium-bound traffic” on Sunday. However, we were not on our way to pick nuts and berries; we were on our way to Rich Stadium. The idea of sitting (not still, however) for several hours to watch the Bills (or Sabres or Braves) is extremely exciting for me (as well as the other 80,020 fans on Sunday). However, sitting stoned for several hours listening to The Dead, or New Riders, etc., is not my idea of “superb esthetic sense.” And the $17 for two tickets was quite worth it. But, as Steese put it, it’s a matter of relevance, and with that I agree completely. However, he disapproves of the “gladiator syndjome” of professional sports, but only live it’s OK to watch it on TV (while darning your socks, of - to ther by Garry Wills Nelson Rockefeller is not the brightest man alive. So it is not surprising that he has a triangle set up on an easel to remind him that well, at least three-sided, with each side the oil crisis is many-sided neatly labeled. What is surprising is that New York Times columnist James Reston took that mnemonic device as a recommendation for Professor Rockefeller to take up his post as a didactic Veep. — I nhur J. I.atomic David Chavis Walter Simpson Abolish stipends To the Editor fro IT here course). But 1 guess if you dig darning your socks, professional sports are not for you (except maybe golf or chess). Another comment that I, as a Buffalonian, take offense to, was the one about Buffalo as a sports town, and its fans. Buffalo now has three professional teams which are recognized throughout the country as among the best, and the people of Buffalo are quite proud, as they should be. And about the beer-drinking steelworker, we have him (as well as the gray flannel suited executive, the well-dressed secretary, the blue-jeaned telephone worker, and the kids of all ages). And all these people would be willing to face the traffic, wait in lines, and sit through the rain for a Buffalo team. And I would be there with them. So Steese, if you don’t like professional sports, turn to another channel, and if you don’t like the traffic, take another route, and if you don’t like Buffalo, its teams or its fans, move out. And if you would rather play squirrel and stock up for the winter, go right ahead. But don’t put down the Bills, Braves, Sabres or the Buffalo fans. - Peter Demakos Rockefeller himself came on as an educator in the way he obliged senatorial curiosity. Every time he felt frank, which was ostentatiously often, he began his statements with “frankly,” a politician’s trait and one that makes me look to the silverware. Why did he commission a book on Arthur Goldberg? Frankly, it was just like his other philanthrophic funds, to spread enlightenment: “Mr. Goldberg was not his life, his career in labor, as a known to the people of New York labor lawyer, as a lawyer in Chicago and so forth. And that his positions on issues was not known and that therefore a bqok would be useful to the people of New York in making up their minds.” It is strange that this book should be useful when Mr. Rockefeller himself tells us that sophisticated people never read such books. They only commission them. - Political enlightenment, you will notice, is defined by Mr. Rockefeller as a recognition that he is preferable to his opponent. And this philanthropic project is, in turn, justified as a business venture. What is profitable is virtuous. Yet the book project is neither virtuous nor (in the business sense) profitable. Rockefeller’s attempt to maintain this fiction is, at best, laughable; at worst, cryable. The Rockefeller name (not, he claims, Rockefeller money) had to be “laundered” so that other investors could be attracted. Who says the investment was sound? The project’s initiator, Mr. Wells. Were other investors approached? Not that we know of. Did Mr. Wells himself invest in this sure thing? Surely not. Asked about that. Rockefeller grinned, a roguish wink and shrugged, “Good question.” Bad answer. If the Rockefellers knew no more about investment than to take a flyer on Lasky and Arlington House, they would have gone broke long ago. Rockefeller is telling charming lies to his questioners, who apologize for being tough before going on to be non-tough. Rockefeller’s strongest defense, and the center of endless bad jokes, is the fact that the book was a dud. It was a third-rate smear, much as (in Mr. Ziegler’s words) Watergate was a third-rate attempt at burglary. Our politicians now tell us that if they were interested in crookedness, they would be better crooks than they seem to be. Maybe. But look at their economic proposals. Do third-rate political schemes prove that our rulers are not politicians? There was no reason to commission the Lasky book except to get a first-rate smear. The fact that all Rockefeller could come'.up with was a third-rate one does not, of itself, make Rockefeller virtuous. It only shows that he mucked up one of his less than virtuous efforts. Frankly, Rocky, that’s not much of a recommendation. Monday, 25 November 1974 \V, iS!CM.'VV;,Vi rA » I . The Spectrum . Page seen �by llene Dube Feature Editor No one wants to be reminded that just a year ago, food items could be purchased for about 15 percent less than today, and two years ago for 30 percent less. Cereal and baking products alone have risen 28.4 percent within the past year, according to the U.S. and there is no end Department of Labor Statistics in sight. The increases are expected to continue at an annual rate of two to five percent at least through the middle of 1974. These predictions are based upon the low yields of the drought-reduced grain harvests, and the concurrent cutbacks by livestock producers this year. The adverse impact of the weather, including last summer's drought and the early frost this autumn, further reduced grain and soybean production. — Meat prices going down Meat prices are expected to decrease for the final quarter of this year because of large reserve beef supplies. A survey of local supermarkets last week showed meat prices to be stable, and in some cases lower than they were last year. "Cattle inventory has been building up over a period of years," said Larry Summers, an employee of the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture [USDA] . In 1973 there was "a holding back of cattle along the meat chain," he explained, but this year there were more slaughters resulting from increased production. The recent action of dairymen, who slaughtered cattle to protest the high cost of feed, has not had much of an impact on supplies, Dr. Summers said, because "they did not really slaughter a big proportion." To cope with skyrocketing food prices, shoppers have been shifting their food priorities. "People are eating smarter," said one local supermarket manager. Many families are limiting themselves to necessities, he observed, although students, as a group, are not cutting back on "snack items." Educational inflation "Consumers are getting wiser," said Joe Brannon, assistant Vice-president of Sales and Merchandising at Loblaws Supermarkets, who maintains that "the best buy of all dollars spent is in the grocery store, compared to rent, utilities, and clothing," Most managers agree there, has been a "lighter trend" in frozen food sales, where prices have risen unproportionally. And as a result consumers have "gone to staples," Mr, Brennon noted. Jerold Linsner, director of procurement for Be|>£\ Supermarkets, described a new kind of "selective purchasing." "There is a slowing down on convenience foods, while more basic items are being sold," hp daid. "People are buying the flour and other ingredients to bake cookies instead of buying baked products." The USDA has also noted the "make it yourself" trend. "Consumers are much more alert to values now," offered Bud Drake, another Bells manager. "They have to be." Still spending more While less of the consumer's disposable income is now spent on groceries, the average purchase per consumer has risen. "There are only a small percent of people planning more economic meals," said Mr. Linsner. The Clinton—Bailey Market, where the North Buffalo Food Co-op buys much of its produce, is an economic place to which often shop, if you buy in bulk means sp lifting the cost and the bushelfuls among friends. are received at the downtown facility, compared to 160 packets and 220 calls a short time ago. The Dietetic Association (DA) is one group that is looking at price changes favorably. Declining sugar consumption, they believe, could not hurt many Americans. Dieticians are also pleased with the lower In addition, grass-fed beef, considered far healthier than the previously grain-fed beef, is appearing on the market more and more, according to a USDA dietician. A new controversy in the meat industry concerns the establishment of an acceptable system of grading beef. Beef now graded "good" would be graded /'choice" and beef now "choice would be elevated to "prime." Supporters of this plan claim that the savings would be passed on to the consumer, but consumer representatives predict that instead they would be getting lower quality beef. consumption of meat fat. Make your own "From the health standpoint, there is no shortage of food," but people may have to sacrifice luxury food items, said one USDA spokesperson, emphasizing the trend toward "home prepared foods. Students, as an economic group, have often been placed at the poverty level because they usually have no constant source of income and must meet the high costs of obtaining an education. Students who cannot meet food expenses are eligible for the food stamp program if they satisfy the income and asset requirements they do not have to be financially — Study shows food prices to be 15 percent higher than last year But nutritionists have questioned whether the new trends in food shopping have affected consumer health. Those in low income brackets and elderly persons on fixed incomes are the most likely groups to have health problems, according to Dr. Summers. The federal food stamp program is designed to assist food purchases for the lower income groups, "but the borderline cases, or those who don't spend what money they do have wisely," will be most affected healthwise, Dr. Summers said. Last month, appointments for food stamp applicants at the Ellicott Square Building in downtown Buffalo were backlogged six weeks, partly because growing unemployment and inflation are making more persons eligible for food stamps. Five hundred application packets are mailed out daily, and 450 calls Page eight . The Spectrum . > — independent of their families to qualify. Four students living in one household, applying as one economic unit, must earn a collective net income of less than $500 a month, and have total assets that do not exceed $1500. which In computing a student's total income includes parental support and student loans, mandatory deductions, medical expenses, child care, tuition and mandatory fees, total housing expenses per month and — unusual expenses are deducted. Assets include real estate in the applicant's name, savings accounts, stocks and bonds, trusts, and motor vehicles. Food stamps Students who apply for food stamps individually are subject to different requirements. (Application Monday, 25 November 1974 packets including details for qualifications can be obtained from the Erie County Food Stamp Service). The cost of the food stamps is determined on a sliding scale based on the number of people in the housing unit, and their net monthly income. Many students eligible for food stamps do not take advantage of the service because they are unaware of it, according to one food stamp official. Another low cost service open to area residents is the North Buffalo Food Co-op, on Main and Winspear. This "anti-profit" cooperative charges a 30 percent markup on produce and perishables, and a 40 percent markup on other items, solely to maintain the store's overhead costs. For a $5 initial refundable fee and four hours work a month, members are entitled to substantial discounts. Co-op sometimes higher In some cases, the co-op is unable to charge less than supermarket prices, since the organizers must deal with more middlemen in warehouses. The co-op orders from the cooperative warehouse in Rochester (a dispensing group for co-ops in the area), as well as from wholesale distributers that deal with other health food stores. Brand name items,'like Dannon yogurt, are ordered directly from the company. The co-op, offering a wide variety of spices, herbs, and teas, caters to health food clientele. Most of its wares are organically grown, except for the produce, which is purchased daily from the Clinton-Bailey Market. Anyone wishing to buy in bulk can pay the same distributor price as the co-op, thereby eliminating the markup. The Clinton-Bailey Market is open to the public. While many customers cannot satisfy their diets by shopping in the co-op alone, the concept of buying in bulk has been growing in popularity. Groups that have organized to purchase their own cows, for example, have obtained substantial savings. Broadway-Fillmore Market One market that offers savings without buying in bulk is the Broadway-Fillmore market, noted particularly for its wide variety of meat at low prices. Baked goods and produce are also inexpensive there. In a survey conducted by The Spectrum of selected popular items in four local supermarkets, A & P at University Plaza was found to have the highest prices for many items, while Park Edge had the lowest prices for brand name canned fruits and vegetables. One disadvantage was that Park Edge did not offer supermarket brands like Orchard Park, Ann Page and Bells Brand, which offer substantial savings. Park Edge was also low in dairy products, and produce appeared fresher than in other stores.

Several studies have loosely linked meat consumption to several forms of cancer. One study at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), comparing meat-eating Mormons to Southern State Adventists, 40 percent of whom are vegetarians, showed the Mormons to have a cancer rate twice that of the Adventists. Grade quality The American Cancer Society has discovered correlations between meat-eating and intestinal cancer. The United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, Argentina and Denmark also have countries with the highest meat and milk consumption the highest rates of intestinal cancer, the study found. — — In addition, vegetarian tribes like the Hunzas of Pakistan, the Azerbaijans of the Caucasus, and the Villacamba of Ecuador have been found to be virtually cancer-free. : ***** 'r.t fehflp? l*Jtt LOBLAWS inspection,' required by law, is certified by the blue P'S'D, and guarantees the meat came from a healthy animal,that was slaughtered and processed under sanitary Meat marking — US 1-NSP'D & conditions. Meat grading on the other hand is a voluntary procedure. The different labels are: prime, choice, good, standard, commercial, utility, cutter and canner. The utility, cutter and canner are rarely sold at retail stores. They go instead to make ground beef and frankfurters. Prime beet, the highest quality, is sold primarily to hotels and restaurant! The highest quality sold in the supermarkets is choice beef, but lucky consumers may sometimes find prime beef on their grocer's shelf. In the United States, between 1962 and 1972, the annual per capita consumption of beef nearly doubled, from 62 to 116 lbs. Meat now accounts for nearly one third of the average American foot! budget, according to a report of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The report also shows public tastes have switched to more expensive cuts of beef and steak. The average adult male requires 65 grams of protein a day; the average female, 55. But consuming meat is not the only way to meet the requirement Sources of protein can also be found in milk, cheese, eggs, poultry and fish. Dry beans, nuts, peanuts, bread and cereal also contain substantial amounts of protein, but of a lower quality. The Under the new USDA guidelines, leaner meat will qualify for better quality grades. The new system will aid the cattle industry by USDA suggests augmenting these protein sources with small portions of animal protein.

The U/B Foundation is the vehicle through which private contributions are channelled into the University, explained Jack Latona, Foundation President. It is important because it provides flexibility in funding which is absent in the cumbersome State bureaucracy, he said. Mr. Latona explained that the Foundation is a private, tax-exempt charitable organization, whose sole beneficiary is the University. “We can only support U/B programs,” he said, adding that the Foundation could not do anything contrary to University policy. Flexible The Foundation retains an endowment of about $2.5 million, and its trustees legally have full control of the income generated from investments of this money. Mr. Latona said the University normally requests funds from the Foundation only if the search for money from state and other sources is exhausted. The Foundation then meets the requests, depending on the funds available. The Foundation prefers to use its funds for more “flexible” things, which are not paid for by regular state appropriations, Mr. Latona explained. He described the procedure for obtaining funds from the Foundation as “not cumbersome,” remarking that a check can be written only one day following the request, if University. A $100 contribution used at the discretion of the Foundation is equivalent to the income accrued from $2000 worth of endowment funds, according to the 1973 annual report of the Foundation. The Foundation actively solicits corporate contributions, enocuraging corporate directors to “look beyond the balance sheet of the company and into the intellectual resources which give stability and permanence to the company’s future.’’ The Corporate Alliance program acquaints corporations with opportunities to “contribute to the future of education, the necessary. source of future business, and The Foundation also administers $2 million in local industrial leadership.” The Foundation also runs a grants and contracts to members of the University, and while there program called the Annual Fund which requests individual is usually a 10 percent charge for contributions.

The State, however, is inconsistent in the way it regards independent, paying rent to the Foundation, he maintained. officials consider the Foundation both private and State public, depending on when they want to, he added. Jack Latona Elaborate Mr. Latona said the U/B Foundation is the most “elaborate” of all such organizations in the SUNY system, with total gifts and grants uses by the original donors, Mr. Latona said, adding that the income from these funds is administered by the state. The unrestricted portion of the old endowment is budgeted by the University administration with the for 1973 alone exceeding $1.8 million. Mr. Latona also explained that when the old University of Buffalo merged with State University of New York in 1962, the University had accumulated an endowment of $20-$30 million. These funds became the property of New York State, with the exception of about $1.5 million, which went to the U/B Foundation as part of the merger agreement. money — . those friends of the University who contribute $100 or more to the Foundation.

A simpler way of decribing the Bulls two game performance against Bowling Green would be the term outclassed. After fropping a 9—4 decision Friday night, Buffalo absorbed the second worst defeat in their six year history of the sport on Saturday night, 12-0. (They were beaten 13—0 by Vermont in December of 1972.) much more than we do," “Bowling Green just has depth Wright continued. The Bulls started out on fairly even terms Friday trailing only 3—2 after the first period. The rest of the weekend, however, was dominated by the hard hitting Falcons. The Bulls were outshot by a total of 115-53 for the two games. Bowling Green's depth was demonstrated when, after the Bulls first two lines almost held their own, the third and fourth units were dismally outplayed on several occasions. The Falcon’s strength was most noticeable in the second period of both contests. Bowling Green scored ten of their 21 goals in second period play while the Bulls were held scoreless. “When you get ahead like we did in the second period, you have a tendency to relax defensively,” observed Falcon coach Ron Mason. Against a better opponent defensive lapses would have endangered the Falcons, since four of their top five defensement were ill or injured for the series. Two of Buffalo’s defenders were knocked out of action during Saturday’s contest, adding injury to insult. Paul Songin and Mark Sylvester were both taken to the hospital but neither was seriously hurt. The odd thing is that Bowling Green failed to score whent the Bulls only had three defenders available, after having run up such a big score when all five were healthy. The Bulls continued to have trouble killing penalties, holding off only three of nine shorthanded situations. Buffalo was less than powerful on its own powerplay, scoring but once with a man - Seniors Darnell Montgomery (left) and Bob Dickinson have been named co-captains of the varsity Basketball team this season.

He called a rare post-game team meeting Saturday evening and then confined the players to the hotel for the rest of the night. The Bulls will have a chance to regain their confidence against a weak Brockport squad tomorrow night at Twin Rinks at 7:30 p.m. Buffalo students must purchase SI tickets if they wish to attend the basketball Bulls’ home opener against Syracuse at Memorial Auditorium next Saturday, it was announced Friday. Studefits are usually not asked to pay for Buffalo home games in Clark Hall. However, since the Buffalo-Syracuse contest is the first half of a Canisius-funded doubleheader, the Athletic Department does not want to ask Canisius to let Buffalo students in for free. “They are letting us play there for nothing, so we had to help them sell tickets," said Sports Information Director Dick Baldwin. Canisius students must also pay to see the games. Student Association Vice-president Scott Salimando was disturbed by this unexpected development. “We had been led to believe that the students would get in free or that the Athletic would pay for their tickets,” Department Salimando said. “Now they are asking the students c HEWLETT-PACKARD UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Tues., Wed., Thurs.: 10 a.m.—5 p.m 3 photos for $3 ($.50 per additional, Pocket Calculators HP-70 HP-80 Business Machines Plus the full line of HP Calculators Q_ Buffalo Textbook osrecida a los estudiantes banquete extrajeros todos para cemelbra elbia de accion de gracias.

The problem seems to center around whether or not Buffalo is indeed the home team. In the past, Buffalo has leased the Auditorium for a home game or two in any given year and did not charge students for admission. However, it now appears that, although Buffalo will be the home team to Syracuse, all three schools Buffalo, Syracuse, and are really Niagara, which is Canisius’ opponent guests of Canisius. Buffalo will be in this situation four more times this season. Salimando said he would look into the situation and try to prevent Buffalo students from being forced to pay for what the Department is billing as a home game. In addition to the five games at the Auditorium, the Bulls will play five home contests in Clark Hall and two more at Erie Community College in Williamsville. O ‘=^_^Schussmeisters In Stock Now!

Cancellation of two chartered flights raises a legal question by Richard Korman and Larry Kraftowitz (c) The Spectrum, 22 November 1974 The Consumer Frauds Division of the Buffalo Attorney General’s Office is investigating the possibility of prosecuting a New York travel agency in the aftermath of its cancellation of two prearranged group flights, which has forced more than 150 students to find a last-minute way of getting home for the Thanksgiving vacation. Friday, State University of New York at Buffalo Vol. 25, No. 39 . The complaint against Travel Power, Inc. was filed Thursday by Bob Burrick and Mike Malkin, two of the students. They also have filed suit in Small Claims Court for damages allegedly incurred as a result of the cancellations. The controversy originated when Alan Rosenberg, who is a student here, and an agent for Travel Power Inc. arranged for a round trip flight to New York City on Ambassador Airlines at a discount rate of S48.27. (Full commercial air fare to New York City and back is S74.73.) However, the Ambassador Airlines aircraft apparently experienced mechanical difficulties soon after the reservations were taken, and was unavailable for use during the Thanksgiving weekend. To provide the students who had signed up for the flight with an alternative way of getting home, the agency proceeded to book seats on two American Airlines flights, one that was scheduled to leave Buffalo on Monday, November 25 and return Tuesday. December 3. and another that would depart from Buffalo the night of November 27 and would return on Sunday. December 1. The price per student for the new round trip flights was set at S60.77. or about S12 more than the original flight. On Thursday night, November 14. Marilyn Sun/, a representative of Travel Power, flew up to Buffalo and met with some of the students in Norton Hall to explain the new arrangements. Ms. Stutz affixed her signature to several lists of students’ names to guarantee that they would be provided with some way of getting home for Thanksgiving. At no time during the meeting did Ms. Stutz allude to the possibility that the planes' departure would depend on whether a minimum number of students signed up for the flights, according to the accounts of several students. Verbal agreement That same night. Mr. Rosenberg, with full authorization from the agency reportedly made verbal agreements to provide the students leaving on the Wednesday flight with bus transportation to the airport and back, since the flight was scheduled to take off several hours after the University’s dormitories were to close down for the vacation. In an interview early Thursday morning, Mr. Rosenberg said he had also been authorized by the agency to tell the students that they would be given food and some kind of beverage at a hotel near the airport prior to the takeoff. Mr. Malkin said the Florence Golden, a Travel Power representative, had assured him in a phone conversation Tuesday night that these arrangements would be taken care of. On Tuesday evening of this week, however, as students arrived at Mr. Rosenberg’s room in the Ellicott Complex to pick up their tickets, they were informed that the Monday flight had been cancelled, and that all the Monday reservations had been switched to the Wednesday flight. The following day, Ms. Stutz made a second trip to Buffalo to explain why the complication had arisen. Too few people had signed up for the Monday flight, Ms. Stutz told a large group of students in a lounge in Fargo Quadranlge, forcing the flight to be cancelled. Great expense Byron Rogers, Buffalo sales manager for American Airlines, confirmed Thursday that the agency had cancelled the flight for precisely this reason. The Wednesday flight was now the only way the students could fly home under the auspices of the agency. Although price differentials between flights that fly on different days of the week made the rate for the Wednesday-Sunday connection a full $73.00, the travel agency agreed, presumably at great expense, to absorb the difference between full fare and the original $61.00. Prior to Ms. Stutz’ arrival on Wednesday, Mr. Rosenberg instructed most of the students to pick up their tickets at his room on Wednesday morning, beginning around 11 a.m. He left for Buffalo International Airport around 9 a.m. that morning, apparently to get the tickets from the Airline. However, because of an apparent series of technical problems at the airport, including the malfunctioning of a computer that was to be used for making printouts of the plane tickets. Mr. Rosenberg did not return to his room until 5:30 p.m. Aware of the fact that many students were waiting outside his door. Mr. Rosenberg repeatedly telephoned the dorm to explain why he has been delayed. Legal action In the interim, exasperated students congregated outside his room in the Ellicott Complex and in adjoining hallways and rooms. They made frequent telephone calls to the airport paging Mr. Rosenberg and said they were planning to take legal action against the travel agency. Most students, however, shied away from the time and trouble a lawsuit woudl involve and were more concerned with finding a way to get home. Many were also angered over spending hours and hours of study and class lime waiting for the tickets and worrying if they would ever arrive at all. Some directed their anger at Mr. Rosenberg, whom they felt was uncooperative and partially responsible for their troubles. Others, however, expressed no animosity toward him. holding Travel Power to blame for all the lost time and broken plans. In the interview with The Spectrum Thursday morning. Mr. Rosenberg regretted that students had been inconvenienced, stressing that the only information he had given them was information the travel agency gave him. He said that he was merely the middleman and that “anything that happened is their responsibility.” First time This was the first time in two years of arranging cut-rate air travel packages for students that any problem occurred, Mr. Rosenberg asserted. None of the representatives from the traval agency, including Ms. Stutz, were available for comment, despite attempts by The Spectrum to contact them at their offices in New York all day Thursday. Prior to his return from the airport at about 5:30, Mr. Rosenberg contacted Campus Security, and three officers were dispatched to his dorm room and remained in the area for part of the night. 22 November 1974 Thanksgiving week which necessitated that they arrive home before Wednesday, several students had asked Ms. Stutz if they could get home another way but still fly back Sunday night on the return flight. Anticipation that there would be cancellations, Ms. Stutz explained that American Airlines has certain minimum quotas for its charter flights. If the number of students flying to New York City fell below the quota, the airline would be forced to cancel the entire round trip, she said. Believing this to be the case, several students pointed out that cancellation had become a foregone conclusion because they allegedly knew of at least fifty students who had cancelled or intended to cancel their reservations. But Ms. Stutz continued to assert that they could either purchase their tickets or arrange for a refund, emphasizing that it would be their fault if the plane did not take off. She also claimed that an American Airlines vice-president who was aware of the situation had taken a special DC-10 plane off a West Coast run and rescheduled it for the Buffalo flight. Because the same DC-10 plane would be used for each trip, it was imperative that students fly the entire round trip, Ms. Stutz said. Otherwise, she added, a smaller plane would be used for the flight to New York and would not be able to accommodate extras on the return trip. No plane All of Ms. Stutz’ remarks left many students with the impression that no plane would be available if too many students cancelled their reservations. However, in an interview with* Mr. Rogers on Thursday, The Spectrum teamed that the 195 seats the agency had reserved were actually in sections of a regularly scheduled American Airlines plane- While the agency had every right to cancel its deal with American Airlines if it felt that its transaction would not be profitable, Mr. Rogers explained, the plane would still be departing as scheduled, in contrast to what Ms. Stutz had said. Therefore, the 195 seats were now available to the students through regular channels at full fare, Mr. Rogers added. At the pre-cancellation meeting Wednesday night, several students told Ms. Stutz that they were angered that Travel Power had already reneged on more than one agreement to fly students to New York City at lower prices and on different occasions, and accused her of breaking her written agreement to guarantee transportation home for the weekend. When a few students threatened to sue Travel Power for consumer fraud. Ms. Stutz replied: “Go ahead, it’s your right.” Cancelled It was at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, after Ms. Stutz had privately conferred with some of those involved, that a spokesman came out of Mr. Rosenberg’s room and announced that the flight had been cancelled. Immediately after the cancellation, Mr. Rosenberg announced that refunds would be handed out Wednesday night and all day Thursday. Those students who originally paif for their tickets by check were given back their original checks, according to Mr. Burrick, while those who paid cash have been given checks that are post-dated, or not cashable, until Monday, December 25. When Mr. Rosenberg got back to the dorm, he was accompanied by Ms. Stutz, who confirmed that all of the students had automatically been transferred to the Wednesday-Sunday flight. Several students have reportedly made plans with American Airlines to fly home for full fare since the travel agency cancelled its reservation. Those who cannot get a last-minute plane reservation will be unable to take buses home because of the Greyhound Bus strike. But just two hours later, after discussions between Ms. Stutz and Mr. Rosenberg, and heated exchanges between Ms. Stutz and the students, the Wednesday flight was also cancelled, leaving it up to the students to find their own way of getting home. However, AMTRAK, the passenger train service, has announced that it will honor all Greyhound Bus tickets for the duration of the strike, as well as provide regular service for others needing transportation. Prior to the final cancellation, many students, particularly some of the 80 who had expected to fly home Monday night, were visibly angered that they had been moved to the Wednesday flight without their consent. Claiming that they had already made plans for Thursday Immediately before The Spectrum went to press night, Mr. Burrick reported that Bruce Schmidt, head of the Consumer Frauds Division of the Buffalo Attorney General’s Office, said he planned to subpoena a representative from the travel agency to find out more information about the flight cancellations. �Birth Control Clinic expands office and services by Marcia Kaplan Spectrum Staff Writer psychological counseling.

The clinic is staffed by doctors and nurses in the Buffalo community, and by a nurse practitioner trained to administer birth control services under the guidance of a doctor. The nurse practitioner is available to those women who prefer to see a female on those nights when only a male doctor is on duty. Other nurses and volunteers are trained by the clinic supervisor in conjunction with Planned Parenthood of Buffalo, in addition to participating in extensive on-the-job training.

The appointments mark the first time that hf* rl Hugh Carey students have been appointed to such a high level state body. Expected to convene shortly, the council will acquaint the new Democratic leadership with the problems of the state, map policy for Mr. Carey’s four-year term, and recommend future administrative appointments. Task forces will be formed to study and make recommendations on concerns such as the state budget, environmental and energy policy, governmental ethics and court reform Although there was no mention of a task force to deal with higher education. Robert Schiffer. one of Mr. Carey's student campaign aides, said the Governor-elect recognizes the mounting concerns in that area and predicted that a education task lorce will probably be established. Makeup The student participants in the transition council are Dan D. Kohanc, SASU President; Jay Hirshenson. City University Student Senate President and Mr. Schiffer. Chaired by Robert F. Wagner, former New York City Mayor, the transition council is characterized by Democratic and Liberal Party membership. Prominent political figures among its members include co-chairman W. Averill Hardman; vice chairwoman and Lieutenant-Governor-elect Mary Ann Krupsak; vice chairman and Comptroller Arthur Levitt; Howard Samuels; Rep. Ogden R. Reid; Bess Meyerson Grant, former N.Y.C. Commissioner of Consumer Affairs; and noted historian Arthur M. Schlesinger. During his gubernatorial campaign, Mr. Carey endorsed the SASU Legislative Platform, which calls for maintaining current SUNY tuition levels and appointing students to the State University Board of Trustees. Mr. Kohane is optimistic about the incoming Democratic governor. “We have every indication to believe he will keep his commitment,” he said, noting that students are now a significant part of the electorate in New York State.

Anyone interested should call the Birth Control office to find out when the Michael Hall clinic is open. But appointments are necessary for those women needing prescription birth control, and the clinic encourages them to contact the office early to avoid prolonged waiting lists. The office in Norton is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Monday through Wednesday evenings from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Edith Chanin, Birth Control Clinic supervisor, explained that “while people are beginning to show an interest in health care and beginning to ask questions, the majority are still uninformed. The Birth Control Clinic is perhaps the most effective means we have oh this campus of countering that ignorance, while answering an unquestionable need in student health care.” info Any student wanting to make an application to a Department should see his/her DUE Advisor and complete an Application to Department Form. r This method will insure that students’ records go to the right places, and that students can determine their progress in fulfilling degree requirements.

Both Congress and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) are expected to amend the guidelines within the next few weeks. As passed, the new law entitles students to all previously confidential information within 45 days of their request. If HEW does not finish preparing the guidelines within that period of time, or by January 4, or (f Congress does not enact two amendments that would\ effectively limit access to letters of recommendation, written before September 9, 1974, the original law will s)and. Conflicts “The bill is laden with confusion,” asserted Ron Stein, associate director of the Office of Student Affairs. One clause provides access to confidential medical psychological records, which is prohibited by New York State Law, while other parts of the law are obscure. Dr. Stein said. Thomas McFee, a deputy assistant secretary of administration and management for HEW, said his department was “fast at work” preparing the guidelines. One factor slowing up progress is the fact that the law is a brand new piece of legislation, with no prior history. HEW must also work with “large definitional problems,” Mr. McFee said, including the availability of confidential medical records and student letters of recommendation. Should a school decide not to comply with the new law, it would face a total cutback of federal funds that have been provided since 1965 under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. A school may challenge the validity of the law, however, “the school can prove a need for [legal] interpretation,’'Mr. McFee said. Amendments Discussing the Congressional amendments proposed by those unhappy with the law’s wide-ranging effects. Dr. Stein said one amendment would limit the retroactive effect of the bill, confining access to those confidential records acquired by the University after 1974. This includes letters of September 9, recommendation and student health records. The second amendment would give students the option to waive the right of access in regard to particular information. In other words, if a faculty member will only write a recommendation on the condition that it remain confidential, the student may comply with that decision If these amendments are enacted, “the spirit of the bill will remain,” Dr. Stein said. “It provides for some check on misleading and inaccurate information following a student throughout his career,” he said. The law As it stands, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, sponsored by New York Senator James L. Buckley, is an amendment to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act signed into law by President Ford last August. It gives students over 18 and parents of children under 18 the right to review personal records and files, including all material that has been incorporated into each student’s cumulative folder. This encompasses scores on standardized achievement and aptitude tests, course grades and test results, health data, and teacher and counselor ratings. Certain aspects of the law have been attacked by administrators here, particularly the right of students to see student letters of recommendation. MacAllister Hull, Dean of the University’s Graduate Schools, said the law would have a major effect on admissions policy for graduate school. “Recommendations are a major part of admissions at the graduate level,” Dr. Hull explained, “and faculty will not say anything frank if the person will be able to see the letter.” Although he fears admissions will have to rely more heavily on test scores if letters of recommendation become obsolete. Dr. Hull favors open files for matters other than recommendation * Poor criteria F. Carter PanilI. Acting Dean of the Medical School, feels that opening recommendations to students would "essentially destroy the admissions process.” Standardised tests would not be substantial enough evidence to determine a student's eligibility for medical school, he explained. Dr. Panill also objected to access to medical records, which could be damaging if someone other than the student observes the files. (Students have the right to transfer authorization of records to anyone.) While the medical school relies heavily on federal funds, Dr. Panill feels this has nothing to do with his school’s compliance with the new law. but is simply a question of legality. “You comply with the law or you get out of the country,” he said. The law school, in turn, would lose two-thirds of it’s S250.000 federal grant if it decides not to abide by the law, explained Dean Richard Schwartz. But Dr. Schwartz said this would not affect the law school “heavily.” He plans to investigate the precise legality of the bill, in particular its relation to statutes of disclosure and confidentiality, even though he feels letters of recommendation do not play a major factor in law school admission. Richard Siggelkow, vice-president for Student Affairs, said the University would comply with the law because “the sanctions are too heavy even if less money is involved.” He attacked the policy of open letters of recommendation since it would adversely affect the process of faculty recommendation. “More openness creates less honesty Dr. Siggelkow said. Across the country, colleges have reacted differently to the law. Harvard University has removed confidential letters from the files of some 16,000 students unless otherwise indicated by faculty members. Daniel Steiner, general counsel of that university, said he would “comply fully with the letter and the spirit of the law” but felt he had a “moral obligation” to honor the confidentiality of documents written before last Tuesday. Two faculty members from the University of Chicago are presently working for the postponement of the date the law becomes effective, while Brown University has assumed a policy of “no action,” but will seek a legal ruling if the law is not postponed. ” Assembly wants Mr. Kunstler to speak on campus Student Assembly over half an hour Wednesday on a petition directing Speaker’s Bureau Bacardi light rum for what?

This segment explores the extent of corporate-government control of food production. Part two will consider the effects, of agribusiness on economics and crisis. *world food the world food V by Neil Klotz Special to The Spectrum (CPS) - Conference Rome, the world. As the World Food was two in the same vein. “But we are saying that neither farmers nor American taxpayers should be expected to carry the burden alone,” But what Messrs. Butz and Steele both neglected to mention is that the American farmer no longer (rods the picturesque fields of his family farm each morning, but huddles in the board rooms of the richest and most powerful corporations in going on ip things,.' were happening: Farmers in the U.S. and Canada slaughtered hundreds of cattle to protest the high cost of feed which they said made it impossible for-them to maintain their stocks to maturity. — These new farmers have names like Ralston Purina, Del Monte, General Foods and Safeway. Often they hide behind aliases you wpuldn’t connect with agriculture; ITT (Smithfield Ham and Wonder Bread); Greyhound (Armour Meats); Dow Chemical (lettuce, poultry and fish) and Boeing Aircraft (potatoes, wine and fish). As small farms fold at a rate of 2000 a week, many are swept into larger farms ten times their size. In 1935, there were 6.8 million farms in the U.S.; by called the food crisis, and- an 1969 there were 2.7 million. And infinitely more shadowy figure, Fortune magazine has predicted - Each day 60,000 people died of starvation. Behind the bizarre irony of these two events loomed an infinitely larger demon, popularly of the chocolate cocoa products, 75 percent of the bread and prepared flour and 60 percent of the fluid milk to name just a few, according to Dr. William Shepherd in a study of economic concentrations. The inevitable has resulted. In 1972 a confidential FTC staff study found that 13 food lines were overpriced by $2.1 billion of monopoly power. because And while Butz et al were grabbing the headlines in Rome, Attorney General William Saxbe announced that the Justice Department begun has investigating the possibility that recent food price increases may have resulted from price-fixing and other violations of the anti-trust laws. More profit Understandably enough, food profits were up 15-20 industry popularly called the American Farmer. As developing third world nations in Rome lashed out against the U.S. for refusing to take the lead in establishing a system of world food reserves, Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz, a self-styled free marketeer, noted that such a system “means less chance for profit for farmers.” Joint burden “We are not stating that we expect starving people to pay for food before they are fed,” Harold Steele, president of the Illinois Farm Bureau, continued that in a few decades there will 100,000 to be only about 200,000 farms left. percent last year, according to a study by the First National City Bank of New York. Food has become a SI50 billion a year business eclipsing automobiles, steel, oil and even the defense - Losing battle The result is that the small farmers left must fight a losing battle in a market monopolized by large corporations. As long ago as 1966, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reported that although there were 32,500 food manufacturers, the largest 100 of those firms took 71 percent of the profits. Today four firms control 80 percent of the canning market, 87 percent of the cereal preparation market, 85 percent establishment. Monopoly power in agribusiness developed through a number of methods, including vertical integration, interlocking directorates and that has rapidly squeezed out the family farmer. Corporate middlemen have begun to control the cooking as well as the production of food. Even the corner hamburger stand agribusiness is part of the scheme: Pillsbury controls Burger King, Ralston Purina controls Jack-in-the-Box, Shakey’s Pizza is a subsidiary of Great Western Burger and Burger Chef belongs to General Foods. has power Agribusiness become even more concentrated through a series of interlocking directorates, in which a board member of one corporation joins with other in the same industry on another board. corporate Where big interests gather in such a way, price-fixing has been rife. For instance, at the boardroom of the Bank of America the following interests meet: Producers Cotton; Di (a processing Giorgio conglomerate); Getty Oil; Kaiser (holder Industries of diverse lands); Consolidated Foods; Von’s Grocery Company: American Potato; Standard Oil of California (another large Western land owner); Stores; Lucky Foremost-McKesson (a dairy conglomerate) and Newhall Land and Farming. government corporation.

Over this period taxpayers invested more in $4 billion money not to grow food than it would have cost them to buy food produced on the land that was put to rest, concluded the NFU.

He chose instead to demand again that a secular, democratic state be established in Palestine. He plans to establish this state on the ashes of Israel.” Thus spoke Zeidan Atashi, representative of the Israeli consulate in New York, who spoke here on Wed., Nov. 13, the same day Yasir Arafat, leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), spoke before the United Nations General Assembly. Mr. Atashi is the first non-Jewish member of the Israeli foreign service. He is a Druze, a member of a sect of Moslems who live in northern Israel. Discussing the “insurmountable difficulties” which would exist in Mr. Arafat’s proposed state, Mr. Atashi pointed out that all states with a Moslem majority in the world today are Islamic states, run by Islamic law. There is little or no religious tolerance in these states, nor any common culture, language or history between Jews and Arabs, he said. Such a state, Mr. Atashi believes, would create the same kind of situation the world now sees in Ulster and Cyprus. “Israel will not recognize the rights of the Palestinians at the expense of Israel,” Mr. Atashi declared, although Israel would be willing to allow the establishment of a Palestinian state which would recognize Israel’s right to exist. A state run by the PLO would not be such a state, Mr. Atashi maintained. He described the UN situation as one in which the Arab-Sovie* Afro-Asian blocs constitute a majority, Two peas Food-gv’t. connection Much of the criticism directed at large food corporations has concerned the cozy relationship between corporate executives and government officials. In March 1972, Michael Fribourg, President of Continental Grain, offered Clarence Palmby, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture for International Affaiis, a job as vice president of Continental. That same month, Mr. Palmby bought a $100,000 apartment in New York City using Fribourg as a financial resource. Later that month Mr. Palmby and his boss, Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz (former director of three agribusiness firms Ralston Purina, Stokely Van-Camp and International Mineral & Chemical Corp.) went on a negotiating trip to the Soviet Union. They officially reported dim prospects for sales to that country although unpublished reports suggested otherwise. In June, Mr. Palmby left the Agriculture Department for the job at Continental. He was succeeded by Caroll Brunthaver who formerly worked for Cook Industries, another giant grain exporter. In addition, the USDA Export Marketing Service (EMS) Assistant Sales Manager for Commodity Exports, Claude Merriam. resigned to take a job with the Dreyfus Corp. yet another successor, Shaklin, while his moved in exporter George grain from Bunge Corp., also a grain dealer. To complete the waltz, Shaklin’s boss, EMS General Sales Manager Clifford Pulvermacher, later left the USDA to take a job with Bunge. — — — explaining that since these blocs have surrendered to the pressure of oil-producing nations, they can be expected to vote along pro-Arab lines. By surrendering to oil pressure, the UN has indicated it will act against its own charter to satisfy the wishes of the Arab states, Mr. Atashi charged. The third and fourth articles of the UN charter state that “only sovereign independent states...” are to be represented at the UN. The repercussions of the decision to invite Arafat to speak are yet to be felt, Mr. Atashi said, adding that based on this precedent, any liberation movement may demand admittance to the General Assembly. Mr. Atashi also stated that if the United States were to withdraw its support from Israel, “Israel will try to sustain itself. Do we have another choice?” But he added that the prospect of American support seemed unlikely.

Six years after entering the State University at Buffalo in the freshman class, 54 former students completed questionnaires (in 1973) concerning their life experiences, marital status, family life, leisure activities, and personal satisfactions and dissatisfactions. The results of this longitudinal study were recently released in a report which attempted to follow up the lives and accomplishments of the 1971 graduates. The study sought to answer questions like: “How do young men and women adjust to an increasingly complex society? What is important in their lives? How do they use their education? How satisfied are they with their families, their jobs, themselves?” “I’ve done an about-face. I went from semi-hippie (complete with the uniform) to a straight teacher (complete with the uniform). I’m happy with my home, husband, and usually with my job, but there are a lot of things I want and I’m beginning to feel my — age.” Two-thirds of the respondents were women, and the majority were single. Most reported satisfactory relationships with their parents and were happy with their interpersonal relationships with other men and women. Nearly all respondents were working and the majority enjoyed their work, although only a little more than half felt their undergraduate studies were relevant to their job. “It is not very satisfying since I have a B.S. in Chemistry and little thinking is required of me, but I like the people at work, it pays my bills, and it permits me to also go to school,” one subject said.

Eleven years after John F. Kennedy was shot to death in Dallas, more and more evidence has surfaced to prove that he was the victim of an assassination conspiracy. The Warren Commission's contention that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing President Kennedy has been exposed as political truth by various researchers, including the ones who visited this campus yesterday for the thrid time in two years. The evidence is indisputable. The Warren Commission concluded that all the shots were fired from behind JFK from a sixth-story window by Oswald. But filmed evidence clearly shows that President Kennedy's head was thrown backward by a bullet that must have been fired from in front of his motorcade. The frames of the original film, however, were mysteriously altered to show Kennedy's head being thrown forward instead. Also, according to the Warren version, Oswald would have to have fired three shots in sis seconds, a feat FBI rifle experts could not re-enact. The incredible string of deaths of witnesses to the assassination and those investigating it can onl fuel the conspiracy theories. Voluminous evidence makes clear that the Warren Commission began with the conclusion that Oswald acted alone, then tried to build a supporting case, ignoring contradictory evidence along the way. It has become increasingly clear that evidence may have bee altered and suppressed in a deliberate coverup. It is obvious the Warren Commission did not want to find an assassination conspiracy. This presumably would have shaken the faith of the country by revealing that an American Presidential election could be invalidated by a politically-motivated murder conspiracy. When one looks at how the Kennedy assassination changed the course of history, it is not hard to find plausible motives for a conspiracy. Many elements were alienated at President Kennedy's 1963 test-ban treaty with the Soviet Union and proclaimed intention to withdraw American troops from Vietnam. Many in the CIA were bitter following the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and Oswald's strange Soviet and FBI connections and subsequent murder lend credence to a conspiracy theory. If Kennedy had lived, he would have been many believe re-elected in 1964 and de-escalted the Vietnam War. Since the Dallas shooting, this country saw 10 years of war in Indochina and five years of Richard Nixon. evidence which directly Enough evidence has been presented to warrant an contradicts the Warren Commission's findings immediate reopening of the investigation into President Kennedy's sassination. President Johnson never believed that Oswald acted au ie, and Robert Kennedy whose murder also raises many to reop>en the inquiry if he were unanswered questions V- wanted elected President. And, of course. President Ford's service on the Warren Commission casts further doubts on his suitability to hold the highest office in the nation. But the most disturbing fact is that despite the documentary evidence, the national media has completely ignored these vital questions. Whether this news blackout is due to skepticism, designed to protect men's reputations, or simply to deny that a conspiracy to assassinate an American President could succeed, the media may be acquiescing in a coverup that would dwarf Watergate. The many people who have contradictory evidence is overwhelming seen the documentary and filmed evidence have come away convinced. The media can no longer look the other way; the — — — — — — investigation must be reopened. Hopefully, the post Watergate climate will catalyze enough interest in the assassination to break it wide open after eleven years of half-truths.

The people who modeled your personality, who changed your reason for being? because I I've done some thinking about it know that the way I'm going. I’ll lose all thinking abilities by age 27, By and large, I didn't meet any influential people until I got into college. (It you count that fat lady who barfed on me at Howard Johnsons, than I guess that's one.) But really, things didn’t start cooking until the first day of my freshman year of college in 1471. The very first person I met from at Hartford changed my life drastically punky high school kid to college degenerate. And so it’s gone until this point. You might think you've changed through a self-alteration process (one day you wake up and the inner acne is gone) but your friends have done more for you than you realize. It's scarey. And so I list my top seven influences. (I’m allowing for three this year to make it a Top 10 list which sounds awesome next to a measely seven.) Along with that, a description and a specific incident which best characterizes that person. Initials only, Sonic might still be alive . . . 1) D.L. My first roommate. Spent three fourths of his one and only semester in bed. Always bitched about tonsilitis on just one tonsil. A 0.75 cum man who played in a rock and roll band. One night, before an appearance, he took me home to meet his mother. (Maybe he loved me?) They got into a vicious argument on opposite ends of a staircase, lie lost his cool and literally HEAVED a bass guitar down on his mother. She ducked. I couldn’t help thinking. “Is that all there is to throwing a guitar on your mother?" 2) J.N. The space cowgirl. Homey as sin but you couldn’t get her down with a steamroller. The loudest mouth on the UHa campus. Sounded like Lenny Bruce. Used to show the boys porno films. She and I were kicked out of a head shop once when she told a saleslady, “Up against the wall, Mutha-fucker!" I absolutely could not believe she - . Deft at mind games. He said that. 3) J.W. Kept them. three girls convinced for INVENTED four hours that his roommate had performed an unspeakable sex crime on him. Loved to open other people’s mail. Did an excellent impersonation of Ann-Margaret in the nude. During a night of - drugs, he maliciously and deliberately squeezed the breast of a co-ed. He blamed.it on me. Incredibly sweet, gentle, woman. 4) N.P. - Serious-minded Jesus Freak. Confirmed missionary of Christianity on her floor. Took everything literally. After a party, I brought my drunken girlfriend home (N.P.'s roommate) but Laune begged me not to. She said N.P. would pray over her. I said "Poppycock." 1 took Laurie to her room, laid her on the bed, and N.P. knelt down and prayed not only FOR her but OVER her. It was an inspired scene. 5) R.C. Infamous. Made his fortune doing hot comb commercials, A tenor in the musicschool who never let you forget it. Played a guitar sitting beneath a tree for two weeks straight. Would recite Shakespearean sonnets to pretty girls. Cornered J.W. into a mind games-opera match-up In the bathroom. The guy voted most likely to P.M. (>) become another Charles Whitman. A fascination with violence. Hated every racial group in - existence. Possessed an unnatural craving for my little sister. He demonstrated the Jimmy Cagney-Mae Clark grapefruit in the face scene smearing a jelly doughnut in his girlfriend’s kisser. When she hit back, he pulled a gun on her 1 jumped A MILE. 7) ?? The only UB-ite. One great experience. This guy could not get stoned. He smoked and smoked and smoked but he no get stoned. In desperation, a friend gave him some Angel Dust and POW! One hundred people piled in my room with who was stunned. I was trying to type a term paper. A miracle occurred. ?? stood up and shouted something that I had only heard in movies but the thought of it happening in real life was ridiculous. screamed “1 see God!” 1 stopped typing and asked very seriously “Who is he?” ?? answered “God is Carl Wilson.” Carl Wilson is a Beach Boy. - ?? ?? Shamless horrors To the Editor I feel that I must respond to a letter published Monday in The Spectrum by Jack McTague in which he compared Israel’s campaign for independence against the British in 1947 with the present techniques of terrorism employed by the P.L.O. today. If one can properly make such comparisons, then we must recall another war for independence fought against the British in which “terrorism” ran rampant. Were the techniques used in 1774 really that much different from the Israelis’ in 1947? Technology has obviously “improved” the devices of destruction but the underlying idea is the same. Revolutionary soldiers, hiding in the woods for sneak attacks can be readily compared with Israeli revolutionaries of this century, but would anyone equate them with the Black September fanatics represented by the P.L.O.? I can, although Mr. McTague says I can’t, condemn Palestinian terrorism and justify what the Israelis had to do to win their freedom. Secondly, let us not also forget who has done more for the Palestinians. While the immensely wealthy oil producing nations scream that the Israelis are oppressing the Palestinians, they have last — Arts But seriously one in attempts to improve the lot of hundreds of thousands of desert Palestinians while Israel has numerous programs to aid them in reconstructing their lives. Thirdly, if Mr. McTague would “embrace” realism for a little while he would discover that it is not the majority of Palestinians who want their own land, at least not of their own volition. It is a very vocal minority which must stir up anti-Israel sentiment by telling the Palestinians that Israel is the cause of their problems. The majority of Palestinians as well as the rest of the Arabs, would rather live in co-existing peace than die in a war of “liberation” they care little about. Do you really think that Israel could have defended itself against such a huge onslaught of attackers, if the attacking force truly believed in their cause? The Arab forces fight half-heartedly because the majority would rather not be there. Finally, although the devices and methods used by both the U.S. and Israel may not have been exemplary, they can in no way be compared to or equated with the shameless horrors perpetrated by the P.L.O. in the name of liberty. not spent dollar Jeff Kittay �Good time Folk music sampler warms Norton air Saturday afternoon and I am doing the Byrd Stumble up Main St., narrowly missing immortalizing my faceprint in the snow.

Admiral — The UUAB Coffeehouse's "Mini-Sampler of Folk Music" never had any intention of being another Buffalo Folk Festival. Its ambition, was much to provide a casual, low-pressure simpler place to hear some of the better-known folk performers, and a chance to discover that the professionals have no monopoly on the music. The "names" were at their best, and the performers who weren't as — trying to reduce the essence of Rosal Sorrels into a few quick sentences, and it looks less possible every time I think about her. To me, her most striking characteristic is an unusual, non-egotistical pride; it's the kind of pride that comes from knowing yourself well and accepting yourself. There was a strong personal bond between her and the audience during her sets, and Rosalie's sense of herself came across powerfully though never in an intimidating way. This is what am, take it or leave it was her message, both implicitly and / explicitly: "And when my song is over, This crowd will understand; They may not like my style, boys, But they'll know who I am. She looks a good deal at the past, doing so with hard-nosed notalgia in Utah Phillips' "The Telling Takes Me Home" and her own "Rosalie, You Can't Go Home Again." All of this comes through in her " music and herself; alongside this, ordinary compliments would seem very petty Banjo glue Michael Cooney's versatility is well known, but nonetheless amazing, and it was fully displayed here. On Saturday night (sadly, I had to miss his Sunday night set, which closed the festival), he moved from a great, long story about a kid on a Photos whaler set to "Blow Ve Winds In The Morning," to an engaging nonsense song, to "Wish I Was A Mole In The Ground," impeccably done on fretless banjo. Cooney was the glue of the Sunday banjo workshop, contributing some fascinating facts about the banjo as an instrument and how to play it, and the "1001 Choruses" workshop. I'm also happy to report that he's nowhere near as stiff or standoffish as I somehow thought he'd be; indeed, he was a delight. Saturday night, we saw "U. Utah Phillips, the Golden Voice of the Great Southwest" in other words, Phillips the character, full of wit and funny stories. Sunday, he was more into his favorite things train songs and his love of unions. The most memorable part of his stay was his discourse on riding the rails; there's too much in it for me to repeat here, but someone really should make it available in — — known rose to the occasion very nicely. Everyone had a chance to sing, well play, meet people, and swap songs. It was a plain olcj good time a description as simple as the joy that was generated. — An assortment of recollections First, Jacqui and Bridey, who came to town almost totally unknown, came this close to stealing the entire festival. Two middle-aged ladies from Lancashire, Pennsylvania. Child ballads, I thought, nothing too formidable. So much for first impressions. These women sang up a storm ! A lot of their material and delivery comes from the music halls and pubs, and the spirit was boisterous, delightful, and irresistable. Bridey especially incarnated the pub spirit, always exhorting the audience to sing along, rattling off an endless series of putrid and/or tasteless jokes, and manipulating a stamping-pole covered with jingly bottle-caps, with a boot on the end. The quieter numbers, most notably the beautiful "Bread and Fishes," spotlighted their fine voices and superb harmonies. Their days of relative anonymity in the U.S. shouldn't last for long. — Rosalie I have been having hell's own time print.

X Scarecrow is the story of Max and Lion, two people so completely different, a pair so unlikely that it's rather hard at first to believe they could even talk to each other, much less travel across the country together. This disbelief lasts only a few minutes, though, because of the performances put in by Gene Hackman (Max) and Al Pacino (Lion). Scarecrow gives Hackman his first real workout in acting, and he stands up to it very well ndeed. Instead of maintaining one simple characterization througho ,,f (as he did in The French Connection and Poseidon Adventure), ht puts Max through a "give and take" with Pacino's Lion to turn out one of the most interesting pieces of work he's yet dpne. As Lion, Al Pacino adds more fuel to the fire he started with The Godfather. He is very good and getting even better. The plot is quite loose, leaving both performers plenty of room to move. Max has just gotten out of prison after six years. He got there by way of a barroom brawl, not his first, and definitely not his last. Hardened by life, he has come to look out only for himself, boasting, "I don't trust nobody. I don't love nobody." Max is trying to get to Pittsburgh, where he plans to open "Maxie's Carwash," his ticket to success. If he can only control his temper long enough to get there, he'll be all right. Lion is Max's opposite in almost all respects. He has just gotten out of the Navy, to which he fled a few years back to get away from his pregnant wife, whom he loved, and the attendant responsibility, which he feared. He has had time to think, and he now wants to see his son and start again ("How do you know it's a boy?" asks Max. "Whatta ya mean? It'sgotta be a boy!" Lion replies.). Lion is the Scarecrow. He can't understand why Max would want to beat anyone up. "You don't have to hurt anyone if you make them laugh," he explains. "Take scarecrows. You think crows are afraid of them? Nah. They're laughing. They say, 'Farmer Brown's a good guy, he made us laugh. We'll leave him alone'." "You ain't playing with a full deck," answers Max. Despite their differences, Max is attracted to the easy-going Lion, perhaps because he feels he can learn something from him. As it turns out, both can and do learn a great deal from each other. Each time they come into contact with people, whether they're working or playing, Lion winds up protecting Max from himself by cracking him up. For example, when Max tells Lion to distract the salespeople in a department store so he can steal a purse for his sister, Lion does so by running wildly through the small store's aisles, then dashing out the door. It works. But while we're laughing, Max drops the purse and leaves. Max is slowly but surely being softened. Lion's "education" is not as smooth, though. Despite Lion's efforts. Max manages to earn them both a short stint in jail. It is here that Lion naively befriends a fellow prisoner who promises to get him a light work load, which he does. Lion soon finds, however, that he is asked to "return the favor." He declines, and is beaten bloody. Max and lion have had a taste of each other's world. Scarecrow is a comedy and a tragedy it traces the growing relationship of its two main characters, who, gradually become one. Every facet of Max's slow softening is fully explored by Hackman, and in the end it's a great relief to laugh at what was once a tragic character. It's Max's ability to make us laugh that keeps us from becoming totally immersed in Lion's own plight. Pacino takes Lion from the highest heights and drags him down past the point of no return. He is excellent in the final scenes on the phone with his wife. He is always in complete command of his character. The film itself is long, and occasionally the feeling that "right here would be a good place to end" comes across, but the story isn't over until the last frame. Scarecrow will definitely make you laugh, probably make you feel a bit numb, and possibly even make you cry. — It's worth it. Scarecrow will be playing this Saturday and Sunday at the Conference Theatre in Norton Hall, where Pacino's first film, The Panic in Needle Park (directed, like Scarecrow by Jerry Schatzberg), will be shown tonight. -Kevin Crane , Page* tenv.< The 'Spdctvum:*.< FridaV; Q.% Novembet 119M)nvl < < Prodigal Sun �Inside jokes, Sensurround, add up to a big catastrophe by Randi Schnur with such tolerance; “Russell, are still a graduate assistant!" he is reminded.

It all becomes merely Triol of Billy Jack' Lots of action and mysticism in sequel Indians, child abuse, Nixon, Ford, political corruption (minor big-time), rape, Watergate, campus rebellibn, pot smoking, mysticism these are just a few of the issues dealt with in The Trial of Billy — Jack. The genres represented, not so much combined as simply thrown together into the film, include action, kung fu, fantasy, war and adventure. Something film critic Pauline Kael said about Billy Jack also rings true for its sequel: "You feel as if the movie could expahd or contract at any point, or add another theme or drop a couple." Incidentally, with a running time close to three hours, Trial needed five editors. In the long run, however, it is impossible to dislike this film because of its disarmingly childlike sincerity. Tom Laughlin, director of The Trial of Billy Jack, is a true primitive. Unlike directors like Samuel Fuller (Shock Corridor ) or Budd Boetticher (Arruzza ), who have held the title unjustly, Laughlin functions on the most elemental level imaginable. The connections are there, and they are very basic, but they work. With the money that Laughlin made off Billy Jack, he has now turned out a million-dollar Lone Ranger. Loser finally makes it The character of Billy Jack was originated in 1967, in an cheap motorcycle flick. Born Loser. He was described as a "half-Indian war veteran who has become a loner." The film was directed by Laughlin (under the pseudonym of T.C. Frank), who also played Billy Jack. Then, in 1971, the film Billy Jack appeared, with the same main character (again played by Laughlin and directed under the same pseudonym), but it was not a success until its re-release early in 1974. Trial's ground and helicopter photography (done by cinematographers Jack Marta and Rex Metz, respectively) is sometimes quite beautiful. (A lot of the film was shot in Monument where John Ford's Stagecoach rolled Valley and to see police cars tear through it is disheartening.) — — The foolish thing about The Trial of Billy Jack, though, is that finally it asks us to take it seriously (although the audience I was with did not). As the film ends, these words appear on the screen: "Some may feel this picture is too violent . . but the real massacres which inspired this fictionalized version were a thousand-fold more violent for those innocent people who were their victims . . Rather than direct anger at this re-creation . . please channel your energy toward those officials who either ordered, condoned, or failed to take action against these events . . . and perhaps toward ourselves for also turning our backs and letting such events occur unchallenged." . . .

The Spectrum Page, eleven: �Pyrexial onward Records, they aren't made by little elfs Editor's note: AH the specifics in this article are lies. AH the lies in this article aren't true. But all the genera! truths in this article aren't ties. This is how our records are made For the last 10 years, our records have been a mixture of many synthetics and plastics. Different companies use varying combinations of polyps, okers, and presolvents, but the main ingredient in all records is pyrexial, a natural substance drawn from the red-southern hibiscus plant. These plants were harvested in Georgia and the Carolinas until the major companies refused to meet the demands of the predominantly black unions in 1956. Led by Columbus Records, who made a secret deal with Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista, large plantation of red-southern hibiscus were seeded in Cuba, and the record companies moved there, where they could more easily exploit the seasonal workers of that impoverished land. Unfortunately for the companies, the Cuban workers needed money to survive, so the companies began to import foreign workers from the Carribean Islands, and paid them next to nothing. Indirectly this action helped the Cuban revolutionaries, because there were more University, On December 5. John Lee Hooker and Old Salt will be appearing at Niagara offices. University ticket at Norton Hall, Buff State and Niagara its available unemployed workers in the country than the government could pacify. One of Castro's first actions was to nationalize the red-southern hibiscus plantations, and the companies moved back to the states. The next year, five major record producers were called before a House sub-committee to justify a $1.25 increase in the price of their albums. They cited the moves that were “forced" upon them, and the cost of paying the American workers. That was the last time they were investigated by Congress, and no legislation was passed to control the record prices. By 1963, over 60 percent of the red-southern hibiscus pickers were immigrants from the Carribean Islands, living in migrant camps and being paid less than minimum wage. If you look at any one of your albums, you'll see a list of people who helped the musicians with the recording: the producer, engineer, mixer, and a few other folks. These people work in acoustically beautiful studios, and are the elite-workers of the company, one level helow the vice-presidents and other bureaucrats. The sweet sounds of ■? recording studios are a far cry from the deafening whine of the fact tries, where the records are really produced. ..

They are the ones who work near the giant boiling hot vats of chemicals which send off clouds of cancer-producing steam. They are the ones who, in dark and cheerless basements, turn the handles that rotate the heavy steel molds the records are formed upon. At the end of the assembly lines they work with the toxic plastic wrappers that surround the albums. Those workers are mostly women, used as a tremendous market of cheap labor and always available to keep the wages of the workers low. Convention Center, Johnny Winter will put on a show.

Once the records leave the factories by the way, I have never yet the range of been to a record factory that was open to the public product sells the to the company increases. immediately The profits distributors, who sell them to the local outlets, who sell them to the neighborhood record stores. And though these are steps necessary to get the product from the factor to us, the price of each album jumps about 600 percent. And regardless of the price increase at each step of the system, the basic factory worker's wages remain the same. Contracts are negotiated by their union, which has repeatedly sold out at the top to the demands of the owners. In 1959, a wild-cat strike in the factory of Alkorn Records was violently suppressed by the state - — militia. I don't mean to suggest by all this that we stop buying records, because the companies will just use the decreased sales as an excuse to lower the wages and benefits of the lowest workers. And that doesn't mean that we should buy more records, because the increased profits will go in the pockets of the bureaucrats, and not back to those who need it the most. I haven't intended to blame the musicians who have contracts with the companies, because they have to make a living also. John Coltrane couldn't have been such a great musician if he was a waiter at the Blue Galaxy Restaurant five nights a week. And I certainly don't blame any of you for buying records, as music is a great and uplifting expression, and we all need a little of that. I really think I'm to blame for all this, for bringing it up in the first place. It was very self-indulgent on my part, just showing off all that I know I guess it's really not important where our records come from hell, they could make them out of human skin for all that I care, as long as I can still get them to listen too.

Page thirteen �Albert Hammond (Mums Records) Very rarely is the AM hit off an LP the best cut on the album. Albert Hammond's new album is the exception which proves the rule. "I'm A Train" is the one song on the album which works easily. It's fast, rhythmic bubblegum fun. No profound statements on social consciousness, death and alientation, unlike the rest of the album, which tries to deal with the problems and the decadence of modern existence but just doesn't cut it. RECORDS looking for his expressive niche, but hasn't found it yet. That accounts for the inordinate scope attempted (you can't confront all the problems of existence on one album) The Ozark Mountain Daredevils are a fairly new group in the music spectrum. They have a sort of Dead-flavored sound, with a lot of country and western mixed Randle Chowning, in. All the members Larrle Lee, Steve Cash, Buddy Brayfield, and John Dillon contribute to the group's material, but their talents both as songwriters and as vocalists are very — — limited. The album's opener, a country pop tune "You Make It Right," is a fast-moving song with simple lyrics, but it called .. himself to the loneliness, hypocrisy and decadence of the world around him. What he attempts to do with his music is illustrate his meaning. So the music gets louder as the words get "deeper." Climax, crescendo!!! Hammond has a penchant for the flashy and the dramatic and they push him to musical overstatement in practically every song. In "New York City, Here I Come" the verse which begins "Show me the park/ Sunday after lunch ..." is highlighted with the sounds of children squealing in the background. In "Dime Queen of Nevada," the music (which sounds suspiciously like "Mother and Child Reunion") is burlesquey for effect. All as though we wouldn't understand what he's talking about if he weren't so blatant about it. Which Sometimes promising brings me back to his lyrics. start off sounding they "Names know a man Who drowns his sorrows in the cheapest / booze He knows he hasn't got that much to lose A wino." Simple and precise, (and sounding a hell of a lot like Don McLean). Unfortunately, these lines are soon followed by “Names, tags, numbers, labels Other people teach you what you are You believe them as a rule While my name for you is beautiful Your name for me is fool." Awkwardly worded and unnecessarily explanatory. Hammond has to learn to leave well enough alone. To make simple, clear statements or form crisp images and then let them be and let his listeners fill in the rest for themselves, instead of force-feeding past his limits as a writer, and ours as an audience. What emerges from this album is a man with some potential who seems to be — Pag© fourteen . Th© SpefctrOm . Kaplan The Ozark Mountain Daredevils It'll Shine When It Shines (A&M) "messages"). Hammond's major concern is his lyrics. He speaks through his songs, addressing the excessive as —Marcia Million Miles From Home" and "I Don't Wanna Die In An Air Disaster" are two of the many songs on this album which clearly illustrate this (and from whose titles you can gather the gist of their album. as well borrowing from other artists. Better luck next time, AM The only possible (I did say possible) exception to this is 'The Girl They Call The Cool Breeze," a joyfully "dirty" song which teases you into its not too hidden meaning with the help of a Jamaican rhythm section which really does the trick (sic). Part of Hammond's problem is that he thinks he's the new Paul Simon. "Half A The lyrics are an attempt at early Paul Simon, the music is closer to ." "Kodachrome" and "Me and Julio This is Hammond's first mistake. When Simon writes bubblegum music, he fits it with appropriate lyrics. If Hammond wants to be Paul Simon so badly he should try a closer listening of Bookends or "Scarborough Fair." What he would find is a total blending of lyrics and melody. This is exactly where Hammond fails on this imitations of Sly Stone and Otis Redding, or to parody his own vocal style. In any case, Lee's indecision hardly matters, since all attempts are pathetic, embarassing failures. Putting this album in perspective, even The New Riders sound talented in suffers from confused vocals. The second tune, "Look Away," written by Chowning, shows some gospel traces, though it is basically a country and western song. (The chorus goes "look away. Lord Lord, look away, Lord Lord, look away ") It makes use of a fast-paced guitar and some fine female backup vocals. The most commercial song on the album, "Jackie Blue," features intricate lyrics and the added guitar solos, and has the potential to make it as a single. But the album as a whole fails in a number of ways. First, most of the tracks sound painstakingly the same. One can virtually interchange the lyrics of one song with the lyrics of any other without noticing any striking differences. Secondly, the vocals themselves are at best mediocre. The singers just don't seem to be involved with they lyrics they are singing. The listener at no time feels that the group is trying to project any sense of having been through the experiences they sing about. The Daredevils are typical of the present state of rock. If groups like them are even making records, be they poor or great sellers, then rock is definitely in a period of stagnation. At time, in fact, I wonder which group they are trying to imitate on which track. On "You Make It Right," they're trying to copy the Dead; on "Jackie Blue," it's Seals and Crofts; and on "It Couldn't Be Better," it's a combo of Chicago and Three Dog Night. In addition, the songs are very short, time-wise, although the total of 12 tracks on the album is rare nowadays for most contemporary artists, the usual number of tracks per album being eight to ten. Perhaps if there had been fewer tracks but more involved and extended versions of the better songs on this album, it would have come out better. The last song on the first side for instance, "E.E. Lawson," is pure trash. The vocals are ridiculous. Herb Alpert, owner and founder of A&M Records, should think twice before allowing a group like this to record such garbage. It's groups like Ozark Mountain that are just cluttering up the rock scene, adding neither innovation nor progress to the music scene. Ozark Mountain fits well with groups like Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods and The Hues Corporation. Groups like this make me sick thinking where we are going artistically and commercially. If an album like this is considered commercial, then perhaps rock ought to be replaced by some other form of music. The talents of the band members as musicians are, at best, respectable, and that's going some. The drumming is very faint, if heard at all, and the guitar work is quite elementary. One highlight of this otherwise tepid album is the track, "It Probably Always Will." The lyrics are pleasant and sweet, and the vocals are all right. But like most of the other numbers, it is much too short to leave any sort of lasting impression. It's the kind of song one listens to, and then 10 minutes later doesn't remember hearing. The title cut, "It'll Shine When It Shines," is one of the album's low points. The vocals are very strained and weak, and the tune sounds just like half the other Fridays. l974 songs on the album. It seems they should have taken six or so tracks, condensed and mixed them, and come up with one song. And such a song would be consistent, since the six or so tracks are so similar and repetitious. As I previously indicated, this album fails on several counts. First, the length of most of the songs is much too short to leave any impressions with the listener. Second, the vocals are poor. The singers lack any feeling or involvement with their lyrics. And the lyrics are generally secondand third-rate. The songs generally deal with the abstract feelings of love and the experiences the singers have "encountered" in life, but they lack a sense of direction, and at times don't seem to have any sense in them at all. A sad but truthful presentation of the contemporary rock scene. —Steven Brieff Love Reel To Real (RSO Records) The music business is essentially that a business. Too often music is relegated to a back seat bound, gagged and shackled. The considerations of business angles and hype take priority. The industry moguls define music along the restrictive and parochial view of the bitch goddess money, in the form of sales. Like any businessmen, they attempt to create, anticipate or pander to fads and trends. If successful, they languidly lounge and watch the public’s greenbacks saturate and comparison. How can constructive criticism, or any criticism for that matter, have any bearing or relevance when the supposed artistic endeavor is nothing more than a cowering, trashy fraud? As a reviewer I can warn you to avoid Reel To Real, but this appeal is made more as a humanitarian. Save your money and time, don't be a participant in Stigwood Arthur Lee's and the Organization's defilement of Love into just another four letter word. Don't look back. —C.P. Farkas — — — fill to the brim their corporate coffers. Nostalgia has always been a saleable item. Follow the simple dictum, "When in doubt, regress," and you can't lose. A few years back the music industry catered to the booming '50's revival. As that trend has waned, neo-nostalgia however, a is jockeying to replace its older brother. This journey through the past culls and re-markets the music of the '60's and early '70's. Examples of mediocre neo-nostalgia are the Byrds' reunion album of a year or so ago, the reformation of Steppenwolf, or CSN&V's on-again, off-again recording ventures. The strategy appears to be: recycle major musical personalities of the last couple of years; provide some sweet hype, and witness thy rock public's fall for this bogus bait. So if you can't collar a major talent, set your sights on a minor one. The Robert Stigwood Organization has done just that. Out of the musty rock archives they have dug up Arthur Lee, of Love. Love was never, by imagination, a monster group, and at best they nurtured a small dedicated cult following. But Love's Forever Changes album is a minor classic in American pop music, although its fate was to slowly decay in dank and dusty bargain bins in small record shops throughout this great mainstay anyone's land. Love was disbanded and Arthur Lee went on to a brief, disastrous solo career. The game plan is then obvious: procure Arthur Lee, scrape up a bunch of musicians, and make a new Love recording. Even if it is pure camel dung (as it is), there James (Buddah) Cotton Band 100% Cotton "When you do the boogie You feel real great They even boogie at the Watergate." -James Cotton Band When it comes to boogie and the blues, the James Cotton Band is one of the better bands exposure to the band Clark Gym concert. I them then, and now, around. My first was last year at a was impressed with after hearing their album, 100% Cotton, I'm even more impressed. In a gym crowded with inebriated boogie buffs, it's pretty easy to get the joint hoppin', but it's another story to be able to generate the same excitement on a studio album. The James Cotton Band has managed to project the excitement produced during their live performances with the finest in get-down boogie and blues. The album is so over all impressive that it's hard to say exactly what it is that I enjoy about it most. Probably the up-tempo of the songs, combined with the tightness of the band, has a lot to do with the high quality sound they produce. The foot stompin', whining blues harmonica of James Cotton, combined with the pulsating percussion of Kenny Johnson, form a sound that makes you want to do more than tap your foot and read the New York Times. The saxophone of Little Bo adds a touch of the old blues sound, and Mat Murphy's lead guitar is precise enough to give the numbers a drive all their own. Still, it has the "it's a great album" quality that can be truly appreciated only by listening to it yourself. Cotton is obviously the real force behind the band. His roots are implanted in the same tradition as Jhose of Muddy Waters and of the "King of the Blues" himself, B.B. King, but Cotton isn't a carbon copy of either of them. His music, although somewhat reminiscent of Waters' and King's, is in an altogether different style, more dependent on the boogie than the blues. There isn't too much variety in the lyrics department. The words to the songs deal with the usual "my woman is giving me the blues" and "life is rough" themes, but they are more played down vocally by Cotton than by most traditional blues singers, and they don't get in the way of the music. In one of the more traditional blues cuts, "Fatuation," Cotton sings to his woman: You're like an umbrella, baby.

First, the so-called had no S.A. Executive Committee resolution Executive Committee input other than unanimous support. The resolution was actually drawn up by an SA Academic Affairs sub-committee. Second, the so-called Frank Jackalone letter, although finally organized and written by Frank, embodied many ideas and concepts discussed by this sub-committee. George Lawandus, sub-committee chairman, spent hours trying to find Academic 1 would concerning Club officers and/or departmental student representatives to comprise an evenly representative committee. A dozen students spent additional hours establishing a student position. The Spectrum’s reporting of the action taken not only ignored these people’s efforts but implied credit to others. Not that that is bad enough, but the importance of the effort made in establishing a responsible, representative student voice in the credit/contacl issue has gone unrecognized. When students on this campus keep asking where’s their input in academic decisions, the one time an organized effort is made for a unified student voice, it gets billed as SA Executive Committee action. Mark Humm frorr here to ther by Carry Wills After the recent election, there was talk of massive political dislocation, of a stunning blow to Republicans and a Democratic landslide, of the signs of approaching third-partyism. Cartoonists showed us a beaming donkey and a battered elephant. And, relatively, it was a big electoral turnaround. The Democrats won well over twice the congressional seats normally taken back in presidential off years, plus some big governors’ chairs (including the two biggest). But to say all this is merely to remind ourselves of the basic conservatism of our electoral system. We speak of a major dislocation when we mean that roughly 10 percent of the congressional seats 44 or so out of 435. Three out of 100 changed partisan custody Senate seats changed hands 3 percent. The gubernatorial changeover was about 8 percent. Or, to take one of the major “indicators” in the last election, we were told that the voters punished members of the House Judiciary Committee a punishment that affected five members, or just over one percent of the House membership. I repeat this is considered an outsize development, because the normal electoral displacement is only half of that, or less. Our politics is incremental with regard to elections. Many things make it so. Inertia. A presumption in favor of the incumbent which is in itself a vote for the system as satisfactory, or else as so refractory that no step as slight as casting a vote can do much about it. That last judgment is by and large a valid one. No drastic alternatives are offered at election time. When drastic steps are taken the initiating of a war, the tooling up of the New Deal, the imposing of price controls they occur in the time between elections. Franklin Roosevelt ran for office in 1932 promising a balanced budget and criticizing the wild expenditures of Herbert Hoover. In 1917, 1941, and 1965 it was proved that the way to take this nation into war is, first of all, to get elected by promising there will be no war. There should be nothing surprising in all of this. Each party begins with its natural constituency more or less assured; and then tries without losing that first constituency to woo the uncommitted in the middle. This means they both end up saying much of the same thing, aiming at the same potential voters. Both sides, of course, are tugged back slightly from full consensus by the traditions of their first constituency, but both sides try to blur these differences as the electoral deadline nears. Thus the vote means practically nothing in policy terms. It reflects mood, and can give a retrospective approval (to FDR’s New Deal in 1936) or disapproval (to Nixon’s criminalities). But in general it affirms a rather blind faith in the mass of our rulers. We expect most ol them to be returned, and talk apocalyptically when the parly turnover edges up past five percentage points. Insofar as people directly affect the choice of policies, they do it more. now. by way of the opinion polls than by way of election. Few candidates risked their campaigns by taking a clear-cut position on wage-price controls this autumn. But when the administration weighs this necessary step, and legislators have to take a stand on it, they will respond to the opinion polls that are swinging drastically in lavor of control. A candidate has to satisfy just the configuration of voter preferences that will suit his first constituency and the winnable uncommitteds in his district. Oddly enough, he is freer to respond to public opinion across a vast spectrum when he is not racing election. This exactly reverses most of our political scientists’ doctrines on the meaning of elections. But our politics has never been what it pretended to be. And yet, by and large, our politics is not a bad thing. It works in ways it was not supposed to, in ways we rarely recognize or describe well. We have a conservatism no one has identified as such one that has nothing to do with right wing views at all; or with left wing views, for that matter. — Unjustified complaints — To the Editor. by students of UB who cared enough to voice their opinion in selecting the SA leaders. I wish to reply to several accusations which wrongly levied against Student have been Association executive vice-president, Scott Mr. Salimando has also been accused of being unqualified for his job. 1 have attended all but one meeting. All of these have been strictly run according to constitutional laws as well as Robert's Rules of Order (thanks largely to the efforts of the Assembly's able parliamentarian). 1 have yet to see any instance where rules have been abused or Salimando. Mr. Salimando has recently been accused, both in The Spectrum and in SA meetings as not being representative of the students. According to page five. Article 111, Section 2, of the Assembly Constitution, all officers, including Mr. Salimando, are elected by the daytime students. If. as probably was the case, he was elected by less than a majority (only a plurality is needed), it is through no fault of his own. As a wise man once said, "If the voters don't want to come out. nobody can stop them." Getting a majority of the vast number of students of this University to vote would be practically impossible. Mr. Salimando was elected incorrectly interpreted. I therefore feel that any accusations against Mr. Salimando or any other SA officer, are groundless. 1 hope future complainers will give careful consideration to the difficult job the officers carry out before they voice their grievances. — — - Mark (hansame isxemhly Member More o f a hole - — To the Editor. Our University of Buffalo is among the largest university centers in North America, but oddly enough, we have the absolute least interest in our school than any other in the world I think that it's about time it ended! Years ago. U.B. was highly respected for various achievements in all areas by the surrounding city. Now this center of higher learning is only thought of as the worse place in the area to go to if you don't drop acid or pop pills, I think I've heard enough! This falsehood must change! The only way we can let our surrounding city know what kind of people we really are is through organized team sports at ANY cost! The most highly attended and most popular team sport in America is. of course. FOOTBALL. With a good football team, we can attract people to our campus and show them that the old "hippie-freak" generation is dead. It's really hard to live in a neighborhood in which you’re disliked! Of course, in order to get football hack to our school, some of our terribly serewed-up systems and policies must be changed. I. Why is it that a very small minority of students need only stand outside of Ketter’s or the SA office crying like the babies they're trying to support, to get other students' funds (my own included) just given to them. Do they have any thought of returning it or even trying to raise it to pay us (the students) back? Football can be very profitable, if supported look at the Rich Co. profit gains since the opening of the new stadium! The only thing these few unfortunates should get from us is maybe a little of the sympathy they obviously desire (at least that doesn't cost us), and a large pink pacifier Why is it that some ol our great SA leaders "personally" don't want football so they stand around saying they can't afford it just to shut people up. They are supposed to be in office to support student views, not their own personal whims. If they think they can. they should be out! In a few interesting quotes from recent issues of The Spectrum Recreation director Bill Monkarsh; "The money is adequate here: the philosophy is the problem!" president Scott Salimindo. in a SA vice conference concerning the broadening and furthering interscholaslic sports: "I think it's a good idea; it should have been started long ago. I bis should start a new priority in athletics." 3. Also true: that the athletic directors had belter watch their spending. This may prove to be a problem, but it’s really of minor concern at this time. 4 Then there are those piteous children who just don't give a damn! That prideless flock of sheep who just "follow their leader." each being afraid of the words School spirit. If they don't want it. then there are a lot of us who don't want them! I think a reasonable line can be drawn between what should be supported with student funds and what should be shoved into a file drawer and locked! This line can be drawn without the I l)60*s system of stomping feet and flash-signs. People are wise to that and really are tired of it The line can also be drawn without the “executive" method of ignoring that which should be listened to. I really think it’s about time we started to look for more respect for the school as a whole instead of making the school into more of a HOLE!

When the Beatles decided to go their separate there remained only a trace of what they once had been. Many other big groups were breaking up at this time: ways, The Mamas and Papas, The Supremes with Diana Ross in lead, and The Lovin’ Spoonful, among others. While all this was taking place, a man who had just returned from the service, Richard Nader, began to contemplate what it would be like to have many of the biggest names of the 50’s in one show. It would feature Chuck Berry, Little Richard. The Drifters, etc. However, a great deal of money would be needed to put this type of show together. First he would have to rent a concert The show was a complete hall, and then he would not only have the book the acts he success on all fronts and was wanted, but more importantly, repeated the following month in find them.

Some other groups who are big on the revival circuit are The Crystals, The Flamingoes, The and countless others. Platters, The revival has been great for its loyal fans who come out several times a year to see the great shows at The Garden and eat up every minute of them. After five years now, the revival is growing at a faster pace than ever. All over the country, from Las Vegas to New York, any place you name, most likely the revival has been there. One can only watch and see what the revival will eventually come to: whether the music of the 50’s and early 60’s will come back on the contemporary music scene or whether the revival will continue to be one form of entertainment with only a few stars having occasional hits. Who knows? But one thing is certain: the revival has added a whole new dimension to the musicscene of today. Page eighteen . The Spectrum .

It is essentially an art dealing with a series of thoughts or concepts presented through visual or external means. Rather than viewing a painting or art object in the traditional sense, the viewer experiences the artist’s thoughts or concepts as presented on another level. Henry Flynt, an artist who coined the name “Conceptual Art,” defines it as “an art of which the material is ‘concepts,’ as the material of music is sound.” Mr. Flynt, Yoko Ono, George Brecht and Robert Morris are a few of the artists who began to exhibit Conceptual Art during the early 1960’s. When viewing a piece of art in a gallery or museum, the spectator views that piece as an art object, and the artist’s intentions eventually become irrelevant. The conceptual artists, however, are concerned with the situation that the art creates. All in the mind Currently, in Norton Hall’s Gallery 219, Kari Baratta presents a show entitled Art in the Head/Joyful Semantics, in which he questions what happens when you enter a gallery. The show is presented in the tradition of Lawrence Weiner, an artist who once exhibited a room containing nothing but the “feel the walls and/or the space.” According to Mr. Baratta. “elements of art experience are made the topic of an esthetic situation; that is, they are exhibited as art objects.” In this show, art is not the object, but is rather what is happening in the spectator’s head. In exploring new possibilities of art appreciation, Mr. Baratta has reconstructed the situation of an art exhibition. He claims art should not be isolated, but rather a slate of mind. By filling the gallery with signs and words indicating the emotions one feels when viewing an exhibition, the spectator is able to reflect on his/her personal art experience. Mr. Barrata feels the spatial arrangement gives these emotions a “stage presence,” therefore allowing the spectator to view these emotions objectively. According to the artist, the show is an exploration of the space existing between the art object and what the spectator perceives. the “By reconstructing situation you go one step beyond,” said Mr. Barrata. “Reflecting on an emotion brings you on the other side of that emotion. You are seeing it objectively, and this process is art.” Art in the Head/Joyful Semantics will appear in Gallery 219 through Dec. 5th.

Winning is foremost in the minds of many Americans. “The good loser” is becoming an extinct species, and players’ attitudes are, for the most part, no different than those of the fans. Shea Stadium “fans” ripping up the field after the New York Mets’ baseball playoff victory a year ago and a tumultous brawl in a recent Philadelphia-California N.H.L. hockey match are just two examples. Unfortunately, this attitude can be carried to an extreme. Last Friday’s snowball fight between the residents of Ellicott and Governors is a perfect example. The encounter was supposed to be just for fun, and most of the participants undoubtedly enjoyed themselves. In Monday’s The Spectrum, the battle was described in an article claiming that the Governors’ forces had won. The article was lighthearted, to say the least, and like the snowball fight, was not meant to be taken seriously. However, this article, one of The Spectrum's more flippant efforts, received more attention and generated stronger feelings than has anything else that has been printed this year. Although many of the people who have complained about the article were just kidding, some were genuinely incensed, and 19 November Rinks) The Wizard has gone into a short slump along with the hometown Bills.

Well, I don’t care whether Ellicott won or Governors won. It was just a simple snowball fight and the consequences of or losing are winning insignificant. I cannot understand why so many people are so upset over the matter. In other areas, where the consequences are much more important, student apathy remains high. Issues such as day care, lack of security in the dorms, and the Attica trials generate little excitement, particularly in Ellicott. Commenting on the snowball fight, people have said, “It’s the principle of the thing,” or “Our pride is at stake!” Yet the few times 1 have asked my friends what they thought of an Attica article, for instance, the typical response is, “1 didn’t read it.” The “Winning is the only thing” attitude is indeed embedded in our society. People sometimes forget the simple fact that you can win only one half of the time. When two teams are involved, there must be a winner and a loser, and if you do your best, you should be satisfied. Sometimes, a team just doesn’t have the talent to win. In that case, is losing a disgrace? Certainly not. Do we need this? - upset string.

A change is in store. I to at . — - — �GIF by Bruce Engel In light of the rubber stamping of the athletic budget by the Student Assembly, which ended SA’s financial crisis and avoided not one but two possible athletic budget freezes, I would like to say that we have reached the point of no return concerning athletics. 1 would like to say that the power struggles and confusion surrounding athletics have reached the point where they simply must be rectified. I would like to say that athletics is, or very soon will be, in its worst crisis yet, one that will require strong decisive action, it not a minor miracle, to save the program from certain death. 1 would like to say all that, but in all candor I really cannot. The fact is that I felt the same way last year, and the year before that and the year before that. The year before that 1 was in high school, where most of the teams were bad but no one worried about where the money was coming from. However, someone here was saying the same thing I’d like to say now. Ditto the year before that, and the year before that, and it still hasn’t come to a head. one that sees One wonders if perhaps the present situation groups threatening to cut the program drastically or drop it altogether, and student government groping with the same problems on an annual basis while the department tries to plan ahead a little might not continue indefinitely. After all, athletics is still alive and the issues are no different now, nor was the controversy less heated three years ago than it is now. Some students have always been critical of the smaller varsity programs. Some students have always felt that student money would more properly go to something else. Athletics is not nearly as popular here as it is in the majority of the nation’s colleges and universities. These obstacles were here when I first enrolled three years ago and they’ll be here long after 1 graduate in May. There is, however, one major difference this year. One can argue whether or not we are in a depression now, or merely recession with a depression to follow. These are irrelevant questions of definition. What is significant is that the economy is in sad shape and institutions a lot stronger than the State University at Buffalo’s Student Association are feeling the pinch. Hofstra University, for one, a school with a reasonably strong athletic program, is in the process of going from NCAA Division One to Division Three and will cut its athletic budget by about 75 percent next year. There were a couple of things that this year’s hassles proved conclusively. One . is that while the athletic department cannot be allowed to run roughshod over the program, the same applies to the Student Assembly. Student government should and must take the power, set policy and priorities and see to it that it is followed. But the Student Assembly which has on occassion attempted to operate as a committee of the whole, is not the proper mechanism. The SA must set up an athletic review board or some qualified committee to deal with these issues, both for the future and the day-to-day operation of the athletic program. It is obvious that coaches are not getting the kind of direction from Clark Hall that student policy dictates. In that case they must get it from Norton Hall instead. Students must assert themselves and take this power with or without the Administration. The University has an economic stake (facilities and coaches salaries) almost as great as the students and the really proper way to run athletics would be a group with representation from both camps. Fortunately, Dr. Somit has finally gotten oft the mark and will start an informal student-administration committee to deal with the future of athletics. If the administration can start and continue to make its feelings known publically on these issues, perhaps this formal group can be the forerunner of a permanent student-administration governing body for athletics. But one wonders how strongly the administration will stand here, considering how little they have said and done up to now. Beware student government and athletic department, for it is possible that the administration is powerless in this area and simply doesn t care about it. If this is the case, expect more of the same hassles next year, and the year after that, and the year after . . . - - —Canter St. Lawrence Saints skate hockey Bulls right off the ice by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor The Skating Saints of St. Lawrence lived up to their name Tuesday, literally skating the hockey Bulls off the ice in a 5-2 win at Holiday Twin Rinks. The loss was the second straight for Buffalo against ECAC Division 1 opponents. St. Lawrence came on strong in the first period, exhibiting strong skating and hard checking. These tactics, which made the Saints one of the top teams in the East last year, proved fruitful. The visitors scored three quick goals in the first stanza, controlling the action for most of the 20 minutes. Good skating “We just outskated them,” remarked Saints’ sports information director Bernie Campanella. “We had some smooth offensive maneuvering, just as we did much of the last half of last year,” he added. The smooth-skating Saints lost their poise somewhat in the second period, as referrees Murray Death and David Principe whistled a total of 17 penalties. That’s when the Bulls got on the board, Mike Klym scoring the first of his two goals on a power play just 25 seconds into the period. “Where people St. Lawrence literally fought to retain their lead, with their hard checking leading to two fights in the period. “We’ve got to do something about the refs at these games,” complained Buffalo defenseman Mark Sylvester. In the Bulls’ five games thus far, 133 penalties have been called,totalling more than 300 minutes, including 70 minutes in the St. Lawrence contest alone. Throwback Buffalo coach Ed Wright must have been thinking back a few years when St. Lawrence’s Peter Blair took the ice. Blair, a black winger who led the Saints in scoring as a sophomore last year, tallied just one point against the Bulls. However, he was involved in both second period fights without drawing a penalty. The Saints shoot-and-skate style of play, which early mesmerized Buffalo, was the ideal style against the Bulls’ stand-up defensive methods. “The style of play they used was contrary to ours. They just shoot the puck in and skate after it,” said Sylvester, “while we [Buffalo’s defenders) have to wait at the blue line for the wingers to come back and help.” The Bulls finally adjusted later in the game, but the lack of checking from the Buffalo forwards allowed St. Lawrence to control the action & music meet” 2525 Walden Avenue 685-3100 On Walden between Dick Rd. & Union Rd.

More professional role Advising programs face restructuring, modernization Sugar prices continue steady upward spiral by Sherrie Brown Spectrum Staff Writer An increase in the price of sugar by almost 200 percent during the past year has spawned plans for a national boycott and placed several large chain stores in the unlikely position of urging their customers not to buy sugar. Last year, a five pound bag of sugar cost about 79 cents; last week it was $2.54. Worldwide sugar consumption has exceded production by seven million tons during the past four years, and this year’s crop in the major producing countries of Brazil and Poland was substantially lower than expected because of poor weather conditions Other factors But it is not just the short supply that is driving the prices up. Widespread hoarding in the mid-east, where “oil rich investors” have funnelled their profits into sugar crops and created a crisis similar to last year’s oil shortage, was cited by Kenneth Wenikowth, Director of Consumer Information in New York City, as an additional factor contributing to the inflated prices. Inflationary pressure is also applied by “shady operators,” who try to sell sugar at black-market prices to major consumers, such as soft drink — —continued on page 4— The Spectrum is published Mon- *********************************************** day, Wednesday and Friday during * the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The z Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

John Cott, President Beverage of the Cott that sugar claimed Corporation, prices would be cut in half if this practice was brought under control. The federal food stamp program which is now used by more people than ever may be another factor in the rising prices because they enable the recipients to buy more sugar and sugar products, according to Mr. Wenikowf. The wholesale price of sugar is now $3.08 for a five pound bag higher than the retail price. But the retail price will obviously have to rise to cover the present deficit. Even before the current crisis, nutritionists have been urging Americans to cut down their sugar intake and warning them that high consumption will decay their teeth and result in excess weight gains.

Mr. Szekely said the Committee is evaluating the Colleges on their responses in the open hearings and on all the supporting documents accompanying each charter. He emphasized that there are hundreds of pages of these documents on file in the UGL for public scrutiny. Despite the fact that the Committee members say they will interpret the Prospectus more loosely than had been expected, most observers feel that the Colleges which follow the specific requirements to the letter will have an inside track. The Health Sciences and Mathematical Sciences Colleges, for example, are thought by many to be similar to the academic departments in its course offerings. While the Prospectus did not demand that the Colleges model themselves after departments, its insistence on academic “legitimacy” was interpreted by many as a call to make the Colleges more like the rest of the University. The Reichert Prospectus has forced the Colleges to seek chartering from a University-wide committee if they are to exist past the end of this semester. According to both Chartering Committee Executive Secretary Yoram Szekely and Colleges Dean Irving Spitzberg, the recommendations will be handed to President Robert Ketter by Thanksgiving and he will probably make his decisions by January 1. The Committee will write at least one report for its twelve voting members, although it is highly possible that minority reports will also be submitted. In addition, there are six non-voting, “ex-officio” members of the Committee who may submit reports. Last week, Dr. Spitzberg outlined the criteria likely to be used in the evaluation of each College, or essentially, the requirements of the Prospectus. These include evaluating the quality of a College’s overall program, and whether a College is innovative, either in an educationally conservative or Must prove uniqueness Communications College progressive way.

Several Committee members regarded Vico as providing more of an alternative, albeit in a conservative sense, for faculty than for students. Clifford Furnas College has a profusion of faculty members, but was asked some tough questions about its withdrawal from the Collegiate Assembly last year and its refusal to commit themselves to joining the new Colleges Council. Committee member Jonathan Reichert, author of the Prospectus, has stated that joining the new Council is mandated by the Prospectus and that he would be loath to recommend chartering if they refused to comply with this requirement. Where they’re coming from College F is devoted to a study of anarchism and communities. Although some Committee members seemed put off a bit by the College’s politics, the Committee has evidently accepted these premises and is concentrating on insuring that the College does justice to the subject matter. F’s biggest problem is that the Committee seems to have no way of understanding just where the College is coming from. The Committee’s orientation is cognitive, dealing in specifics of language and logic and objectivity; F’s focus is affective and subjective, or experientialist. At their charter hearing, F answered questions which could not be understood in terms of F’s perspective on - reality.

Page three . �•S, / Commentory conventioneers will want to come to an area with a Buffalo climate. In fact, Niagara Falls lost the National Democratic Mini-Convention (scheduled for next month) to Kansas City because of the anticipated bad weather. The squeeze inflation has put on the entertainment and convention dollar has been compounded by an increase in the number of such public facilities. (In addition to Memorial Auditorium and the Niagara Falls Center, the state-financed ArtPark in Lewiston opened earlier this year.) - Niagara Falls vs. Buffalo by Joseph P. Esposito City Editor If a Buffalo Convention Center is to be built, city and county lawmakers must realistically examine a number of issues which have thus far been considered only superficially. Even if the Center is not built, those lawmakers must be candid with the taxpayers. The pitfalls of the Niagara Falls Convention Center and the competition which might result if the Buffalo Center were built should be the primary concerns of the legislators. The Niagara Falls Center was losing $8000 a day in six months after its opening. Property taxes in mid-July the Cataract City were increased by more than $6 per the second largest $1000 of assessed valuation this year Most of the increased in city’s the history. tax increase revenue went toward the mortgage on the new center. - - Shrinking market There is a shrinking convention market, evidenced by Niagara Falls having to advertise overseas for conventions. Buffalo officials say their proposed Center would primarily attract small conventions and trade shows. But much of the business at the Niagara Falls Center consists of small conventions and trade shows; the two centers would therefore be in direct competition. The upcoming Falls Center schedule includes conventions of the Western New York Safety Conference, the State Civil Service Employees, the State Restaurant Association and the State Farm Bureau, all relatively small gatherings. Also projected for the Niagara facility are recreational vehicle displays and crafts exhibitions. The Center also has smaller rooms, including a ballroom in which the State Democrats held their June Convention and an amphitheater, where the nationally-syndicated Phil Donahue talk-show was broadcast for one week. Good neighbor One Niagara Falls politician has called the proposed Buffalo Center a “Rape of the Taxpayer,” citing a consultant’s report which projected that in its fifth year, the Center would only be in operation for about 130 days. The poor attendance at last July’s Niagara Falls Jazz Festival was attributed to competing events at ArtPark and Rich Stadium. Few Niagara Falls officials still consider Buffalo “The City of Good Neighbors.” The threat of convention trade competition, combined with Mayor Makowski's alleged attempt to take an upcoming Conference of Mayors away from Niagara Falls, have made Falls authorities wary of their neighbor. Miami of North? As recent weather has shown, Buffalo “ain’t the of the North.” It in unlikely that many Miami Free tickets Additionally, there are private concerns such as Kleinhans, the Century Theater and Melody Fair which attract big-time concerts and other feature entertainment. The County-built Rich Stadium is a football-only facility and there is talk of building a baseball stadium. Much of the attendance at the Falls Center and ArtPark has been courtesy of free tickets. At the highly-touted Miss USA pageant, for example, there were so many empty seats, despite the free tickets, that the TV cameras would not scan the audience. One can only wonder how Buffalo can afford to build the Center in light 35f the city’s economic situation. The “funny” Board of Education budget is a good example. Housing instead Perhaps the expected economic boost and stimulation of the construction industry which many give as a reason for building the Center could just as easily result from developing more housing in the Buffalo area. The Center-related jobs may prove seasonal and low-paying. The promise of hotel jobs is based on the assumption that the Center could support several hotels year-round. The Niagara Falls experience indicates, however, that hotels will not hurry to build until the Center is completed, or at least, well along the way. — — Downtown convention center Sugar is still under consideration The building of a new convention center in downtown Buffalo has the support of Buffalo Mayor Stanley Makowski and County Executive Ned Regan. The building of the Center will provide about one thousand additional construction jobs, an industry which now has a thirty percent unemployment rate in Buffalo, Mr. Makowski said recently. He explained that it will also stimulate the construction of new hotels and motets in the downtown area. Additionally, after the Center is built, about one thousand people will be employed in Center-related jobs. Economic growth County legislator Susan Lubick said the Center should increase both the city and county’s sales and property tax revenues. The project is also expected to revitalize and stimulate economic growth of the downtown area. While City councilman Bill Price also favors the Convention Center, he feels the city government should try to match the financing of it with a revitalization of city neighborhoods. The twenty million dollars needed to build the Center will be provided by the County, but the City will lease the facility from the county upon completion. Bed taxes on area hotels and motels will bring the county an estimated $500,000 yearly and Advisement.. relieve Erie County taxpayers of some of the tax burden since the taxes will be paid for primarily by out-of-area people. According to Ms. Lubick. the cost of the Convention Center will pul an annual deficit of SI .2 million on the city, which will then be reduced to about S700.000 annually by the hotel bed tax. Private business interest will take up some of this deficit, but the bulk will be paid by the taxpayer. Tax burden The tax burden on the county and city is the main reason for opposition to the Convention Center, but Mr. Makowski said the spent tax dollars would be worth it if Buffalo is to keep pace with other cities. Other criticism has been that the Buffalo Center would have to compete with the Niagara Falls Convention Center. However, Ms. Lubick said they will be two completely different facilities. While the Niagara Center is more an auditorium, billing such activities as sports events and concerts, the Buffalo Center will handle regional business conventions. Dallas and Ft. Worth are about as far apart as Buffalo and Niagara Falls, said Mr. Makowski, and both cities have convention centers that actually complement each other. —continued from page 2— measuring how well advisors were communicating with students. “It is critical that we understand how we are coming across,” Dr. Grantham said. DUE advisement has conducted three surveys of incoming freshman in the last three years to find out what they expected from academic advisement. A follow-up survey of the latest group, now in its sophomore year, was conducted this fall. Dr. Grantham reported that in each study, students indicated they were satisfied. This has lead him to believe that the alleged widespread dissaffection with advisement is taking place Satisfaction indicated sometime in the junior and senior years of a student’s stay here. Grantham with the academic Dr. agreed Because DUE has no money or resources for advisors who continue to ask for more specific criteria for evaluating themselves and better these surveys, Dr. Grantham said they are being definitions of which services they are expected to done out of his “own back pocket.” He indicated provide. He said that DUE was continuing to work that he would continue to conduct the surveys as on this problem, and reiterated the importance of long as it was necessary to gauge student opinion. To simply give information from one person to another is not difficult, but it is not easy to teach someone to relate to another person. Dr. Grantham said DUE is looking for someone “who’s head is screwed on right.” Asked if his view that advisors should be skilled counselors who are able to develop a rapport with students precluded the chance for faculty advisement, Dr. Grantham said no. “Faculty advisors must be voluntary and trained,” he maintained.

Aside from its calorie content, “sugar is nutritionally a big fat zero,” explained Lois Meyer of the Food and Drug Administration. Toxic substitute There have been warnings about a new sugar substitute called aspartame, which may cause brain damage in children. Senator William Proxmire (D., Wisconsin) called for the FDA to withdraw approval of the substitute before it is sold on the market. Sen. Proxmire pointed to studies by Dr. John W. Olney would found a toxic reaction between aspartame and other artificially sweetened foods. This reaction only occurs in children. A hearing date has not yet been set by the FDA. Boycotts Boycotts protesting the high sugar prices are going on all over the country to protest prices. New York City Consumer Affairs Commissioner Elinor called Nov. 7 a Gruggenheimer “the public’s city-wide boycott only defense.” The Boston City Council has designated the week of November 25, Boycott Sugar Week and some organizers of last year’s nation-wide meat boycott have called for one in Los Angeles later this month. “Our hope,” one of the organizers said, “is that consumers everywhere will cooperate in a venture that will profit them health-wise and price-wise.” Chopper The Price supermarket chain in upstate New York and Western Mass, has posted signs urging their consumers not to buy sugar. Furthermore, Albert Rees, director of the Government Council on Wage and Price Stability will conduct hearings in Washington next week to and investigate sugar prices refiners profits.

Mr. Quinn died in a hospital after being wounded during the takeover. Defense Attorney William Kunstler said in a press conference Monday that Mr. Rockefeller, who has taken full responsibility for what happened at Attica, has never confronted those who were inside the yard during the uprising. Calling the trial political, Mr. Kunstler said its sole purpose has been to exonerate Mr. Rockefeller of the deaths of 43 people by finding the Attica defendants guilty. Fast for a World Harvest On Thursday, November 21, a week before Thanksgiving, Oxfam-America, an affiliate of the International Relief Agency, is sponsoring a one day “Fast for a World Harvest.” Those participating will limit themselves to coffee, tea, fruit jucie, or broth and will contribute the money they would have spent on food to Oxfam-America. The organization will use the money in the small, long-term projects it conducts in three continents to help farmers and villagers raise their own feed. About 30 percent of the funds will be used for immediate relief. Carrie Levinson, a spokesperson for the organization, has emphasized that the major goal of the fast is “to get Americans conscious of what it’s like to be hungry” and to lead them to question the “morality” of the average American consumption of four times more meat than the body can use and other related issues. The Oxfam people hope that the fast will encourage people to abstain from meat one day a week. Contributions should be mailed to: Fast for a World Harvest Oxfam-America P.O.

The government tries to present an “illusion of fairness” when none exists, he added, and the idea of American justice has become “unbelievable, even in mythology.” Mr. Kunstler hopes the trial will accomplish more than a legal victory. “The state is using the court to destroy, we’re going to use the court to build,” he emphasized, terming the case “a trial for to destroy system humanity,” Pointing to the recent victory of the defendants at the Wounded Knee trial, Mr. Kunstler said, "If I have any hope for my life, or for anyone’s, it is because of what happened at Wounded Knee. He also criticized the jury system which “eliminates the poor who are less inclined to favor the establishment.” Jurors are only paid $8 a day, and a poor person cannot afford to take off the time from their jobs, he said. Illegal transfer Mr. Kunstler also discussed how Mr. Hill had been illegally transferred to Attica from Elmira Correctional Facility, where he had been serving a four-year youthful offender sentence for assault and burglary. He was not told why he was transferred and did not know at the time that it was illegal for a youthful offender to be sent to Attica, Mr. Kuntsler reported. The renowned lawyer called the defense a working democracy where the Attica defendants and lawyers make collective decisions. Charlie Joe Pernasoiles is being defending by former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and Mr. Hill is. being co-defended by Mr. Kunstler and Margaret Ratner.

Internal Revenue Service Kept watch on subversives An Internal Revenue Service “Surveillance Group” maintained a careful watch on all ‘‘ideological militant, subversive and radical” organizations from 1969-1973. documents obtained by a Ralph Nader affiliated Tax Reform Research group revealed early this week. The IRS “Surveillance Group" was found to have compiled a list of 99 “militant and revolutionary” groups, including the Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), the Urban League, and the National Council of Churches. The documents explicitly show that initial steps toward creation of the surveillance group were taken in July 1969 during the Nixon Administration’s first term, when Tom Charles Huston, a White House aide, told a top IRS official that President Nixon wanted the agency to “move against leftist organizations.” Randolph W. Thrower, then Commissioner of Internal Revenue, said he knew few details of the group’s operations, but explained that it was first known as the Activist Organization Committee. He also said he did not know why organizations such as the ADA -and the Council of Churches were among the groups which the IRS headquarters ordered field offices to gather intelligence.

The organizations on the list range from the “obviously leftist,” to the “typically conservative” organization. This special services stall was ordered dismantled in August 1973 by the present IRS Commissioner, Donald C. Alexander, after details of its operations came to light in the Senate Watergate hearings. Mr. Alexander said then that his agency would henceforth confine any investigations to “tax resistance organizations and those individuals who publicly advocate noncompliance with tax laws.” The IRS documents made available to the Research group showed that the special services staff had compiled files on 2873 organizations and 8585 individuals. Of these, 78 percent were found to have “no apparent revenue significance,” according to a final IRS report on the cancellation of the staff, dated Nov. 5, 1973. The IRS has refused to provide information to the Nader Tax group concerning the content of the files found to have no information relating to possible tax evasions. The other files have been turned over to other sections of the IRS. The IRS is continuing to collect data on organizations and individuals evading tax laws, and is maintaining a liasion with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Congressional Committees, and other “outside sources” for this purpose.

They acknowledged the cheers at the end of their set but they weren’t called back for an encore. The Raspberries must have known they were cheered off the stage.

The experimental program Switch With Another Person — Passport/Application Photos UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Tues., Wed., Thurs.: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. 3 photos for 13 (t. 50 per additional) consisted of matching one male with one female student by picking names out of a hat. Each couple lived together in a regular, dormitory double room for one week. As the experiment was to have entered its second week, the College Judicial Board, comprised of administrators, faculty, students and staff, found out about it and threatened to take action against the students.

Men and women at Ithaca College usually live in dormitories that are coeducational by wings or suites. One male freshman who roomed with a female student for a week said he told her beforehand that “sex wasn’t on my mind." The student became acquainted with his rommmate in a snack bar the day before they moved in together “At first we beat around the bush, but then we got our physical intentions out in the open." He thought she initially appeared apprehensive about rooming with a male but was soon reassured. “The biggest thing about the program was we felt at ease with each other in the end,” the student observed. However, one 18-year-old female student felt too much publicity doomed what could have been a good thing. “It’s not the sensational story the press tried to make it," she said, “if it wasn't as publicized, we wouldn’t have gotten all the static about it from the campus officials." The said woman her experiences with a male roommate “was uncomfortable and very superficial at first. It took a while before we could talk to each other and feel comfortable.

Pace seven �rial 1Edt Legislating starvation — "How can a man who is warm understand a man who is cold?" wrote Alexander Solzhenitsyn in A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Such questions assume a staggering relevance in evaluating the results of the recently-concluded World Food Conference in Rome. After eleven days of high-blown symposia, speechmaking, discussions and dinner parties, all that the 1200 delegates from 130 countries could manage to come up with was a cosmetic, compromise proposal to establish a new World Food Council. The new Council instead of having any authority to order or implement emergency will action to relieve the growing world food shortage merely be responsible for "coordinating and researching" possible alternatives. — — For once, however, the United States cannot be held solely to blame for the inevitable lack of action in an international undertaking that once held great promise. It is true that President Ford did refuse to provide an immediate one million ton increase in emergency grain supplies for the starving people of underdeveloped nations. No less callous was U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz, who led the bloc of developed nations in assuring that no real, substantive changes in the international distribution of food supplies could come about in the near future. But at this conference, blame was virtually universal. Discussion of the critical food shortages now affecting and spreading every day some 460 million people degenerated into petty politicking, with national interest the prime concern of each delegate caucus. Foreign policy objectives, rather than humanitarian concerns, were the order of the day. And starving nations, like patients bleeding to death while struggling to complete hospital admission forms, were informed that their pleas for aid must go through the proper channels. The rules must be respected, the amenities observed. The delegates' prevailing attitude was best expressed - — during a speech by a representative from Bangladesh, who was warning the 50 members of the audience that "mass starvation could lead to a cataclysmic degeneration of human society" when he was interrupted by the hum of party chatter and the clink of glasses of the 1000 delegates who had chosen to attend a cocktail reception given by Ghana next door. Perhaps the wails of hunger-stunted infants could have been played over the conference hall's public address system. Perhaps, as one frustrated delegate suggested, conference participants should have been locked inside the hall, without food or water, until they reached a real solution, not some bleak bureaucratic compromise. Perhaps there is no solution, and half a billion people will have to die while new conferences are held on how best to dig their graves. As it is, nothing was accomplished at the World Food Conference, as is always the case when those who are warm gether together to determine the fate of those who are cold.

Waterloo revisited After reading the account of the Governors-EUicott Snow War, I am appalled by the interpretation given to this event. My first reaction to the article was, “Which part of Governors does — Jay Boyar opened it, and was free. (We will not closet door discuss mundanities about such things as elapsed time, thank you.) There were two people in the master bedroom having a talk. It looked very much like one of those conversations in which somebody is TRYING TO WORK SOMETHING OUT, so being the soul of discretion I am, I ghosted on into the hall and got to work on the bathroom door. Since the outside handle worked oh bother the diagnosing and field repair of the door- . So went out into the master bedroom again and got spoken to in a way that seemed to invite a response. Being at least moderately affable under such circumstances, I went over. Both parties laid some confusin but pleasant contributions on me, such that I wasn’t sure whether or not if, or how, to respond. After some silence the guy involved clarified the issue by suggesting 1 go away. Which seemed reasonable. But as I started to execute this particular maneuver, it was already too late. Another group of revelers arrived from downstairs.Among them being another lady that substantial mutual confusion has existed between. We got into that, being joined at least briefly by the first woman at some point. Where we arrived is part of what I fail to understand about parties. I don’t know where the rest of those folks were, but you will of the monster storm of November '74. happened,*happened. Now where do we go from here? My expectation is that we might wind up treating each other a little differently, but here confusion sets in. My version of reality is already intruding. I keep expecting things to change, happen, develop, anything whatever but remain constant and static. Much of my confusion around parties involves watching people treat each other differently under condition A and then go back to treating each other the old ways under condition B. “Why would they want to do that?” asks the curious steese who lives in the back of my head. It being clear that such questions seem to be similar to those that have drawn flak upon my head in the past, I view it with suspicion. Not that it seems unmeaningful, just that when you start asking questions with difficult answers, people also get difficult. I have gotten better at sensing when I am about to blunder socially, even if 1 never quite got it down pat why. Buried in here somewhere is something to do with me, and how people deal with me. Messages creep in here and there that I am hard to approach. Which is not totally in alignment with my self-percejation. My experience is that of being a counter-puncher. If you hit me, you get hit. Approach me with friendliness and I am not usually hostile. Try to get too close and you make me anxious. A generally human set of responses as far as I can tell. Honesty seems to require my admitting to a long memory. It is not easy for me to trust people that 1 see myself as having been burned by. Living inside a system makes it hard to tell just how sensitive it is to heat, I must also admit. “Burn” in this case may well be a subjective judgement. Sometime ago I realized that drunk, stoned or whatever what came out of me was mine, behaviorally or however. If laid some confusing but pleasant contributions on me, such that 1 they want to do when straight. So how come they don’t? And what do I do to compound the problem? And what are parties for anyhow? To make small spaces in bad realities? Bother. Happy birdday. Pax.

The Govemorians, who refused to see their abject defeat, and slowly pushed the brave few that remained into the parking lot. As a member of the residual forces 1 can only testify to the cruel actions of the men (and women) of Governor’s, who abused their greater numbers to gang-up on those who remained to defend the honor of Ellicott. Outnumbered, our forces having gone home, we could only hold back the castrated and humiliated Governors forces for so long before we, too, returned to Ellicott. There we would have been quite willing to teach the People of Governor’s what real defense is, and in - - Band! Schnur UllllJ To the Editor. Larry Kraftowitz Amy Dunk in Managing Editor Managing Editor Michael O'Neill Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen Business Manager Neil Collins Arts Pausing before the steep plunge of committing the first words to paper, it suddenly occurred (damn, that is the second word 1 have had to check the double damn, dictionary for in the first sentence make that three) to me that the subject may not be entirely unfamiliar to those who periodically check out this space. Yes friends, it is time for another column about parties. Sorry, and all that. When you base your efforts on reality, you grab whatever comes by in the way of inspiration. The first person I walked by on the way into my department to do some real live academic work on Monday morning was someone who had tried to approach me at a party on Saturday. The purpose of said approach being to say hello, since we have been walking a little stiff legged around each other for the past couple of 'years. It was one of those messy eternal tetragonals that you would be either un, or entirely Tl ■ ||0 too, interested in, so we will and history the ancient pass merely say that we have not been exactly comfortable Dl 0 around each other. As of the m moment that this was written, it seems we still aren’t. Perhaps walking light is a hard habit to break. Therein lies a moral. Somewhere. Just where it is I am not precisely able to say at the moment, but give me a few more thousand well-chosen words to tease it out and I am sure that we can come to some sort of agreement. You all remember last Saturday. It was the day enough snow may have melted so that you could find your car. If you ever got home if you were stupid enough to go out on Friday. I was, and almost didn't. Got trapped in one of those subdivisions where the streets all lead into~one another. You would grope around for awhile trying to find your way out to a main road, and after almost succeeding come to a dead end or a string of cars that did not look as if they were going anywhere. Who said that the average suburbanite is not as smart as a white rat? Mazes in mazes, it was just wonderful. Domestically the strains should heal in a month or so. “Why don’t we turn around and go back the way we came?’’ “Because I am not sure I know how we got here!’’ So enough already, we all have horror stories of the monster storm of November 74. Suffice it to say that after Friday’s shoveling and pushing, and more shoveling and pushing on Saturday, by the time this aforementioned Saturday night party rolled around, I was some tired. Got there and it took me one glass of punch and one glass of wine to realize that I either stopped there or got very very drunk. While my id and superego were wrestling each other over this question, my ego and I went and blew ourselves to a glass of ice water. Which is pretty much what I stayed with for the duration of the party. Between ice-water and holding up walls, things went their usual well ordered party course. Outside of dancing some to preserve domestic friendliness, nothing really happened. Until 1 locked myself in the bathroom. Which was a little strange. I was tired and a little spacey from the wine, and I went to turn the handle on the bathroom door and it just kept going around. Wonderful way to spend a party, you say. Ahh, but the bathroom being next to the master bedroom, there was a spare door into the master bedroom as well as to the hall.

Governor’s was far from undefeated. The to mention the totally unsuccessful attack by the Governor’s forces on Ellicott Thursday night. Contrast their easily repulsed attack to the fact that on both nights we held enemy territory for periods of time. Further, on Friday night, our forces descended on Governors, pushed them from their position by the bus stop past the wall, until they regrouped, article fails shivering, within the fort-like confines of their courtyard. The Ellicott forces were in such control of the - the end, real victory. Oliver Fultz �One course load To the Editor. 1 have just read, with interest, the latest articles and editorial opinion advocating the four course load for undergraduates within the University. 1 see that now arguments supporting this position have widened in scope. Originally the four-course proponents were satisfied in achieving a finer, more meaningful educational experience through the new system. Now, it has been revealed to me that a great number of other benefits would 'MAY I PLEASE HAVI YOUt UNDIVIDID ATTENTION TRB from Washington November 19, 1974 A huge quadrangular hall holds ROME the World Conference on Hunger, the first ever held.

A woman’s voice translates with feeling and rhythm. The six translators sit in respective booths in the rear balcony. You forget it is translation as the familiar charges continue: “Plunder,” “Exploitation,” “Colonialism,” “Super powers.” Down in the American delegation, Hubert Humphrey takes notes and chairman Earl Butz chews gum. This is the Palazzo Dei Congress!, built in the 30’s by Mussolini for the 1940 World’s Fair that never took place. Instead they had the war, after which they strung Mussolini up. This is now known as the Eur (E-U-R) area, an Italian acronymn for Exposition Universal Rome. Rome is the sickest capital of Europe with inflation at 20 percent, no government for six weeks and the city’s splendid, moldering walls scrawled with hate. “Death to Kissinger,” cries a red-daubed hammer-and-sickle appeal. What do the people of a small planet do when they realize that population has finally overtaken food? They come together, all the hostile groups, and look at each other, and wonder. They try to think globally. It is extraordinarily interesting to watch. One way to meet the problem is to deny it exists. Earl Butz, head of our delegation, says yes, but not a crisis.” the situation is “serious In turn, the Russian delegate simply announces that the earth will carry “30 or 40 billion more people” without any trouble, if everyone adopts socialist precepts. And last week the English-language newspaper here, The Daily American carried an unforgetable front page makeup occupying the entire upper fold. On the left a pathetic picture entitled, “A despairing mother in famine-ridden Bangladesh cradles her starving child.” On the right a - , balancing photograph of benign Pope Paul VI, blessing the delegates. And the headline between: “Pope condemns birth control as an answer to hunger.” Thinking globally is uncomfortable. It stains unaccustomed muscles. The first week is occupied with ritualistic tribal exhortations and accusations by bureaucrats of 130 countries. Who can admit the vulgar new notion that the earth is a finite planet? India has famine. So what? It also has money to explode an atomic blast. The rich nations spend billions on armaments. In the United States, the top five percent get 20 percent of the income, the bottom 20 percent get around five. But the tenant-landlord gap in many hungry lands is far . . accrue if the Administration and Albany would only think rationally about the four-course system. For example: less stress on the inadequate facilities, less scheduling and advisement problems, more opportunities for social, cultural, and recreational activities, less busing, parking and T countries the farmer is poorest of all, the man who feeds more extreme. In most poor everybody the most oppressed. The “poverty line” in India is $30 a year, and 175 million people live below it. There are four billion people on earth, a third or more of them go to bed hungry at night. Are these our brothers? It is hard to think of them so. World Bank head Robert McNamara said last September that they survive on a margin of life, “so degrading as to insult human dignity.” If Indonesia’s 135 million population grows at the present rate, it will be 1.5 billion this time next century. World population will be double by 2010. If you say that simply can’t happen, some will label you a prophet of doom and gloom. They would have said that if you had warned of a particularly virulent strain of Bubonic Plague in Constantinople in AD 1347. The two-century spread of the black death reached London in the great plague of 1665, and eliminated half of Europe’s population. A gloomy parallel? Barbara Ward is talking today about Mega-Death. About one in five face famine, she thinks. One might as well be starkly realistic. Our fears may be all wrong. But a man like Philip Handler, president of The National Academy of Sciences, is no fool. He- is quoted as saying that unless the rich countries are willing to undertake the colossal effort required to uplift the poor, ones (which he seems to doubt), they would be less cruel, perhaps, not to interfere at all and “let nature run its course.” It is doubtful if the public even yet understands the problem. There is now enough food on earth to sustain everybody. But it is distributed crazily. The United States is Mister Rich. With only six percent of the earth’s people, it consumes 40 percent of its resources. Can this last? A pound of grain a day feeds the poor in Asia, Africa and Latin America, but the American takes five times that, a little directly in the form of creal and much more in eggs, milk and particularly meat, with liquor thrown in. Delegates repeatedly say the poor countries must raise more food themselves. They have the land, why don’t they produce more? Because it costs money to farm properly. With a social revolution, and with plenty of fertilizer, half a billion small farmers could be self-supporting. They would gain enough respect and human dignity, perhaps, to cut down on their nightmare birthrate. At least that is the hope. That’s the road to the future all right, but what a road, as narrow and cobbled as a Roman alley. An extra pound of fertilizer produces only five more pounds of cereal in the United States but would produce 10 in India. How will the tenant-farmer buy it? Will rich countries finance it? America uses about as much fertilizer on its lawns, golf courses and cemeteries as India does for all its crops. The west spends from $20 to $80 on each 2'A acres of farm. The small farmer of Southeast Asia only about $6. The excellent thing about this conference is that it is held at all. It is a crash course in educating humanity. People and nations can be shamed. The immediate emergency is the next eight months until the new harvest. After that is another matter. It is easy to be cynical about the food conference. I won’t because I did not expect too much to begin with. Delegates have moved a little way to interdependence. The problem remains: land, water, energy and fertilizer are all coming into short supply. Demographer Lester Brown is certain there will be a UN emergency conference on Water in 1980 or earlier. Hunger won’t go away. Those torturing pictures of mothers and children will stay on television. — maintenance problems, etc. I don’t want to be immodest, but I think I have a better solution. Possibly, someone may have thought of this before, but has hesitated to mention it. I believe that the University should adopt a policy of one course per semester which would be worth twenty credit hours and meet for two class hours per week. This would improve the problems listed above approximately fivefold. Of more importance however, is that it would also have a great effect on the quality of education, as well as those nagging, but quite real, peripheral problems mentioned above. Students would not be tied down with unreasonable class hour commitments, would not have to waste time on fruitless face-to-face faculty contact, could pursue courses in greater depth, and would have a better study upon and opportunity to decide independently those pursuits more relevant to his education than those required at present. Let us not be timid. A four course load merely eases the problems somewhat; a one course load demolishes them. John Vasi Self determination To the Editor A recent letter in your columns attempting to draw a parallel between the terrorist tactics of the PLO and the acts of the Jews against the British occupiers of Palestine prior to the partition is so devoid of fairness as to demolish its purported appeal to reason. Leaving aside the differences between the indiscriminate slaughter of children and other innocents (comparable to Nazi genocide in Europe or American genocide in Vietnam) versus attacks on armed occupiers (comparable to the actions of the resistance forces in France under the Germans or in Hungary under the Russians), the fundamental distinction lies in what your correspondent refers to as “national survival.” Palestine consisted, under the British Mandate, of the land east of the Jordan River, now known as Jordan, as well as that west of the Jordan. For centuries both Jews and Arabs lived in this land, although there was never an independent Arab state in it. in the 20’s, the British created an independent state east of the Jordan and turned it over to the Hashemite dynasty. In the 40’s, the UN divided the remainder between the Jews and the Arabs. What was to be a second Arab state was taken over by its Arab neighbors, who tried but failed to conquer the Jewish state as well. Thus, the vast preponderance of original Palestine is now Arab territory. There has been a displacement of Arabs from areas within the Jewish state where they once lived. There has also been a displacement of hundreds of thousands of Jews from Arab states to Israel. Exchanges of populations have occured history to provide frequently throughout opportunities for separate peoples to achieve self-determination. No one opposes the rights of Arabs to self-determination in the vast areas of the Middle East which they control. The repeated wars and violence which have occured since 1947 are a result of the Arab refusal to acknowledge the right of self-determination of the Jewish people in their historic homeland. Once they accept that, negotiations over territory can begin. In its absence, the Israelis must hold what offers maximum security against military attack. This is where someone’s “national survival” is at stake. With the Palestinian Arabs it is only a question of whether they shall have most of the territory or all of it. Harold I..

Nuclear energy... risks in nuclear energy, but we are living in a hazardous risk-filled world,” said Ralph Lapp, an energy industry consultant.

It’s a common faux pas among those nouveau Beach Boy fans. (Do I sound conceited or what?) Brian admitted this summer that he wouldn’t begin touring with the group until he had chopped off some weight. The Niagara Falls Convention Center was among the first stops of the belated fall tour. Brian had obviously not lost his taste for Hershey bars. Mike was still obnoxious. He pulled a David Bowie impersonation, crawled around the stage on his knees, casually tossed a tambourine several hundred feet in the air and spoke in the pseudo-hippie language of the ’60’s. He even prefaced “The Warmth of the Sun” by mentioning the John Kennedy assassination: “Brian and I wrote it the day before which is kind of wierd.” It was a pretty stupid remark because we associate the Beach Boys with the beach, the sun, our first loves, and general good times. Their music is entirely escapist entertainment. We don’t want to be reminded of the bad times; we get enough of that at home.

Many dorm residents say they just aren’t willing to be disturbed night after night by pranksters who pull false alarms. “We’ve lost sleep, initiative and interest,” one student said. a real fire could pose a grave danger. Confusion during the alarms was revealed as yet another problem by May Abraham, Head Resident of Dewey Hall in the Governor’s Residence Halls. She feels much of it results from red tape at the staff level. When an alarm goes off, all Resident Advisors (RA’s) are required to go downstairs, check the fire panels and call Security. But there is currently no way to determine how many RA’s have called security, or which floors have been checked. One proposed remedy is the creation of an RA checklist to eliminate unnecessary calls to Security. Each RA would sign in after checking his or her respective floor and arrangements could be made to promptly inspect those floors where the RA’s are absent. This indifference is a severe impediment to precautionary efforts. Since Head Residents on the North Campus do not have a set of master keys, often the best they can do is knock on individual doors and hope people come out. Additionally, because many alarms in Ellicott are soft enough to sleep through, Few keys The Ellicott Complex is also suffering from red-tape induced confusion. Only Security has the keys to the fire panels which indicate the location of the alarm. After the alarm sounds. Head Residents must call Security and wait for them to by Amy Raff Staff Writer Spectrum Last Sunday night’s fire drill was just another in the long-tunning series of wee-hour false alarms that have been occuring in the Ellicott complex’s Fargo Quad, but a few students ventured out of their rooms this time. In fact, the number of cooperative participants decreases steadily as the rate of false alarms increases. — iThe Dept, of Spanish, Italian & Portugese presents Prof. Alan Deyermond of the University of London "The Quest for Hidden Meaning in Medieval Spanish Literature" Friday, Nov. 20th, 1974 at 3 p.m. in 351 Fillmore, Ellicott Complex the center for theatre research presents bertolt BRECHT'S � � BAAL unlock the panels so the RA’s can determine whether there is a real fire or not. Fargo Quad Head Resident Steven Serafin suggested that giving keys to each Head Resident would save time and avoid confusion. Another potential hazard is the Ellicott elevator system, which lacks a disabling device. The possibility exists that in a real emergency people will be trapped in the elevators which do not immediately shut down in a fire like the ones on the Main Street Campus. Response to alarms at the Main Street Campus has been good, according to the Head Residents of Clement and Goodyear Halls, but there have been very few false alarms and only one or two malfunctions in the system. Almost everyone agreed that it will become more difficult to rouse people for alarms when the cold Buffalo winter sets ‘Yaleys’ stage token fast raising money for the needy (CPS) The day international delegates began talks at the World Food Conference in Rome, some students at Yale did something else about the food crisis. By going hungry themselves, they raised over S5000 to feed families in New Haven and overseas. Under the leadership of Yale chaplain Rev. William Sloan Coffin, 2200 students, about one fourth of the student body, fasted for a day. each receiving a SI.70 rebate from school dining halls. The irtoney, combined with $800 in contributions, will be divided among the New Haven Free Food Council and two - groups that distribute food to Bangladesh and Western Africa. Three plans In conjunction with the fast, student task forces were formed to do their own evaluation of the world food crises. One group will keep tabs on the Rome conference, specifically on the resolutions of the U.S. delegations. Another committee will explore ways in which the university as an institution can aid in solving the problem. A third group plans to come up with suggestions for individuals and the New Haven community to help feed the hungry. Plans are underway to confront Yale president, Kingman Brewster, on the university’s use of fuel, food and fertilizer. According to one student organizer, the school uses all three in excess. His group wants to cut back their use and funnel the excess money into third world development projects. A national inter-school conference at Yale on the food crisis has been tentatively set for late this winter and a lecture series is being developed for the spring.

The laws regarding hitching in Buffalo are clear; yet they are not well known. There are two relevant laws that appear in the Vehicle and Traffic Law edition of the Consolidated Laws of New York. The first relevant law is the Vehicle and 1157, papragraph a: Traffic Law section Pedestrians soliciting rides or business. No person shall stand in the roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride, or to solicit from or sell to an occupant of any vehicle. The law also defines the term roadway as .ordinarily used , .that portion of a highway . for vehicular travel, exclusive of the shoulder.” What all of this simply means is that if you stand with two feet on the sidewalk you are practically beyond reproach. Police officers may ignore or simply not know that this is the case. If you are issued a summons and clearly have both feet on the sidewalk and not on the roadway, a trial cannot result in a conviction. Many times hitching is done between cities and if this is the case keep in mind the following: No person shall occupy any pari of a state “ . . $1.40 single order $2.50 Double order ■ 1 With This Adi 4 wm wm Expires Nov. 22nd. wm wm wm ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ wm ■■ I s ■■ ■■ ■■ ■ * ■■ * rt 'lc * *‘ * ' . .in any manner for the purpose of or soliciting, (paragraph c) What this refers to is the Thruway and similar stste roadways. Even if you are dearly off of the roadway, you can be highway. selling busted for hitching by a state trooper. For Thruway hitching, the best places to hitch are the ramps leading to the Thruway road. Police officers may not be aware of paragraph of Section 1157. In Buffalo, police officers may still be guided by a city ordinance prohibiting a hitching anywhere by anyone except military personnel in uniform (Chapter LX, Section 30). This ordinance was thrown out one month after it was instituted in 1964. However, if you are stopped by a cop, the best and by far the easiest course of action is to get off of the street (if you are on it) and move on. If you are clearly off of the roadway, don’t play lawyer. Don’t remind the officer of your rights. Just move on. If you are issued a summons and are clearly not on the roadway, you may remind the officer of your rights. If he persists, the best thing to do is keep quiet. The cop can only make a lot of trouble for you if he feels that you’re becoming a nuisance. If you are clearly off of the roadway and it is not a state road, a trial in response to a summons cannot result in a conviction. THERE’S A NEW RULE OF THUMB FOR WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS. Page twelve The Spectrum Wednesday, 20 November 1974 . . �Athletic Dept, unhappy at budget restoration by Bruce Engel Sports Editor The Student Association (SA) has compelled the Athletic Department to restore the intramurals and recreation lines as passed in the original athletic budget, following the Department’s proposal to cut $ 11,000 from this area. SA had previously directed the Athletic Department not to slash these top priority athletic lines, and enforced this demand at negotiations with the Department last week. Athletic department officials, including intramurals and recreation director Bill Monkarsh, are less than overjoyed with this development. Monkarsh, an intercollegiate coach himself, claimed that the restoration of the original budget is an effective increase in nis intramural and recreation lines, at the expense of intercollegiate was cut from athletics for men. Approximately six thousand dollars the $1 1,000, although help up make lines week to last intercollegiate half of that represents the dropping of crew as a varsity sport. did Monkarsh claims, as Athletic Department officials from the controversy, that the funds taken away by the Administration have been restored intramurals and recreation and that the program would not have suffered throughout More money, more time money, As far as what will be done with what he considers extra the program to see what looking into that “we’re stated Monkarsh getting more we can do with it.” He mentioned the possibility of skating time at Holiday Twin Rinks for students after selected Buffalo home games, as well as his desire to have additional hours and special events in the Amherst Bubble (temporary recreation facility slated for the Amherst campus next semester). SA officials have consistently demanded the restoration of these funds, as passed in their original budget, even if it did effectively a increase the program. SA president Frank Jackalone wrote in memorandum to the Athletic Department that any funds received from the Administration were to be considered additions to and not substitutions for the SA’s budget.

Hockey Bulls downed, 6-5 Buffalo’s hockey Bulls, an EC AC Division II team, still have never defeated a Division I squad. But they came ever so close Saturday night, dropping a 6-5 decision to Clarkson College on a last minute Golden Knight goal. Though it was the Bulls’ first loss of the young season, it came at the hands of what may prove to be their toughest opponent this year. The closeness of the contest seems to be a good omen for the season as a whole. “I’m really proud of the way they played,” remarked Buffalo coach Ed Wright, after the loss. “I think they really opened up some eyes up here.” The Bulls certainly opened the eyes of an over-confident Clarkson squad, taking an early 2-0 lead on goals by Jack Kaminska and Doug Bowman within 40 seconds of each other. Power plays were a major factor in the contest, accounting for four of Clarkson’s goals and three of Buffalo's. The game had a lot of penalties and both squads had the offensive skating ability to take advantage of their man-up situations. Though neither team played particularly good defense, it sould be noted that they were under power play pressure quite often. Bull forward Jack Kaminska, a Canisius High School product, skates from the goal after a Buffalo shot on Elmira's goalie in the Bulls' home opener. Kaminska opened the scoring in Buffalo's loss at Clarkson last Saturday night. The 6-5 setback was Buffalo's first loss of the young season. away The Bulls were down 5-3 midway through the final stanza before power play goals by Mark Sylvester and Rick Wolstenholme tied it up. In all, five different men scored for the Bulls, their balanced continuing offensive attack, established in their first three games. Clarkson outshot the Bulls 43-41 in the wide open, free skating contest, but none were more important than the one that came off a face off with just under a minute left in the game. Buffalo, vainly trying to kill a penalty to Wolstenholme, was drawn into a fight in front of their goal. Each team drew two roughing penalties in the fracas. With a sparse ice population, Clarkson center Dave Taylor won the ensuing face off from Bulls co-captain and top face off man Doug Bowman. Taylor slipped the puck under Buffalo goalie John Moore and within seconds Dan O’Driscoll put it in to win the game for host Clarkson. After last night’s game against another Division 1 squad, St. Lawrence, the Bulls travel to Bowling Green for two games this weekend. - — (B), Haywood (Cooper) (B). Sylvester (B).

Page thirteen �Weu? attitude ’ More publicity for basketball by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer The slogan on the door to the office of Basketball assistant coaches Harry Hutt and Bob Case reads, “A new season, a new attitude.” Officially, this year’s campaign is entitled, “A Program on the Move,” but the idea is the same. The Bulls are anxious to redeem last year’s 19 losses. “We’ve got to move forward,” explained Hutt, “but we can’t get people believing we’re going to win 25 games this year and go to the NCAA Championships. Last year, we lost to Syracuse by 45 points. If we lose by 44 ttys year, that’s progress.” Hutt claimed that a realistic goal would be a .500 season, and that this year would be phase one of the program. “Last year was phase zero,” Hutt added, referring to the late appointment of head coach Leo Richardson, precluding the possibility of a successful recruiting year. Jack Ramsay, coach of the Buffalo Braves. Richardson will follow with a speech explaining his new program. His assistants and players will then be introduced, one by one. Even bumper stickers The Bulls have had 10,000 placemats printed up to further publicize the team. The placemats, paid for by the Riverside Men’s Shop, will be distributed to local restaurants. Each will contain a picture of the coaches, and the Bulls’ schedule. “People will sit down to dinner, and they’ll see that Buffalo is playing that night,” said Hutt. “It will bring in more people.” The Bulls have also found a sponsor for the printing of 3000 bumper stickers. Richardson is trying to make himself more available to campus groups and local clubs. He recently spoke at a Rotary Club meeting and intends to speak on campus in the near future. Finally, this Saturday at 1 p.m. there will be a “meet the team” intra-squad game, open to the public. Each of the players will be introduced to Lunch with the team the spectators prior to the game.

Most notable were two spectacular and unassisted tallies in the rout of Kent State last Wednesday night. VoUeyballers defeat Geneseo State, 15-10 by Joy Clark Spectrum Staff Writer In their usual up and down style, Buffalo’s volleyball team defeated Geneseo State Thursday night at Clark Hall. “People fluctuated sometimes it seemed like there were different people on the floor,” said Coach Cindy Anderson. Buffalo’s offense was strong in the first game, but their defense was poor, and they held Geneseo scoreless on only two serves. Sophomore Marilyn Dellwardt stood out in this 15-10 win with her exceptional spikes and — saves. The Buffalo offense fell apart in the second game. Geneseo held them to only seven serves and three ponts to even the match at one game apiece. In the crucial third game, Buffalo came back with strong defense and a consistent offense. Geneseo scored on only three of ten serves, and scored only five In a match against powerful Brockport State last Tuesday, Buffalo came out on the short end for only the second time this season. (Both Buffalo losses, to Houghton College and Brockport, came at the hands of undefeated teams.) The team played well, winning the first game, but then junior Anne Maloney sprained her ankle and things went down hill as Buffalo dropped the next three games. Although Anderson did not feel that the loss was cuased solely by Maloney’s absence, she did think it was a factor.

Goldberg. Mr. Rockefeller’s testimony before the Senate Rules Committee indicated a more central role in publication of the book than he had previously acknowledged. He denied any attempt to cover up the facts and attributed the discrepancies in his testimony to a “sketchy” The SpECTi^uM Vol. 25, No. 36 State University of New York at Buffalo Friday, 15 November 1974 memory. The former governor also said his $2.5 million in loans and gifts to public officials and aides involved no conflict of interest and were not intended to corrupt those who accepted them. In an attempt to blunt criticism of those gifts, Mr. Rockefeller said his family fortune does not blind him to the need for integrity in government. Claiming it was in the American tradition to share and help one’s neighbors, Mr. Rockefeller added, “1 do not believe the day has yet come . . . where the decencies of human relationships disqualify one for public office.” Critics of the Rockefeller appointment have said that at least some of the gifts and loans may have violated New York State law, which makes it illegal to give public officials gifts valued at more than $25 to influence or reward official conduct. Rules Committee Chairman Howard Cannon (D., Nev.) said the “nagging question” is whether the gifts placed those who received them in “psychological servitude” to the former Governor. “There is a sign on the political wall that reads, ‘no tipping,’” Sen Cannon said. Mr. Rockefeller denied he made his gifts with the purpose of influencing official conduct of the recipients. His statement that he made gifts to officials in other states to lure them to New York prompted House Majority Leader Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill (D., Mass.) to say in an interview, “Do governors of wealth buy up competent people? How do you justify . . . inducting] them to leave one place and come to your own state?” 1 Political gifts Mr. Rockefeller also revealed that from 1957 to 1974 he gave $3.26 million to Republican campaigns. These political gifts included $62,025 to former President Richard Nixon’s 1972 campaign, $200,000 to the 1968 nomination campaign of former Michigan Governor George Romney and $1 million to his own successful attempt to win the GOP presidential nomination. Family contributions to his four gubernatorial and three presidential campaigns totaled $2.85 million from brothers John, Laurence and David and sister Abby. His stepmother, the late Martha Baird Rockefeller gave an average of $1.5 million to each of the seven campaigns. Sen. Cannon pointed out the inconsistencies in Mr. Rockefeller’s statements regarding his involvement in publishing the book. Arthur Goldberg, the Old and the New by Victor Lasky. Mr. Rockefeller later apologized to Mr. Goldberg for the book’s derogatory content after taking “full responsibility” for publication , He said his brother Laurence underwrote the book for $60,000 as a business investment. Last month, a Rockefeller spokesman said Mr. Rockefeller’s lawyer and long-time aide John Wells arranged publication of the book by Arlington House and told Mr. Rockefeller about it early in the 1970 campaign. Mr. Rockefeller subsequently said he had paid no attention. In his prepared testimony Monday, he changed some details in his story. Mr. Rockefeller testified that Mr. Wells told him he was promoting the book on behalf of Mr. Lasky, whom he described as his client, and was “looking for financial backers of a corporation he was setting up for this purpose.” He said he asked his brother Laurence to help. But Laurence was too busy, he added, and “simply authorized his people to underwrite the project while other investors were being sought.” Mr. Rockefeller, calling his action hasty and ill-considered, said, “My mistake was that I should have killed this project in the beginning when Jack Wells brought it to me." Sketchy memory He said when he was questioned by the FBI after President Ford nominated him to be Vice President, his memory of the book’s origin had been “sketchy.” “I only recalled having had a brief conversation about the idea of such a book being written, but no memory of the details and no recollection of how it was financed,” he said. Mr. Rockefeller said he erred in responding to press questions before refreshing his memory. Mr. Rockefeller also withdrew his earlier agreement with Mr. Goldberg’s characterization of the book as scurrilous and possibly libelous. He said he has only now read Mr. Lasky’s book and said, “It is not anything that by any stretch of the imagination goes beyond the limits of the kind of political comment to which all of us in public life are subject from time to time.” Mr. Rockefeller invited Committee members to read the book themselves and provided a copy to each of them. “I think you will agree with me that it is the most overrated, misrepresented, innocuous political dud ever perpetrated in a partisan political campaign,” Mr. Rockefeller said. He said his $550,000 in gifts and forgiven loans to William Ronan, a former aide and chairman of the Metropolitan Transport Authority was for 18 years of friendship and service. Mr. Rockefeller said Mr. Ronan needed the money after his retirement when he was named to the non-salaried chairmanship of the Port Authority of New York and New Jfersey. New York State law forbids supplementing the income of public officials. Mr. Rockefeller explained other gifts but made no mention of his $50,000 gift to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. He also said in answer to questions about the power of his vast wealth that “enduring political power is not for sale in the American political system. My interest in service to the American republic is greater than any interest I have in family wealth or in family position,” he explained. 8U0IANSKY No freeze Student Assembly approves the revised athletic budget by Howard Greenblatt Spectrum Staff Writer The Student Assembly voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to support Student Association (SA) president Frank Jackalone’s veto of the Student Assembly’s freeze of the intercollegiate athletic budget. By a 37-17 vote, the Assembly also approved the revised athletic budget, thereby resolving a controversy that has been raging since last spring. In a statement read to the Assembly just prior to the vote on the veto, Mr. Jackalone cited several reasons for his decision. “1 decided to retorn this action because I believed that many members who voted for the freeze were not aware of all the facts and implications involved,” he explained. Among other reasons he cited was “the precarious legal situation” in which the SA would be placed if the freeze were upheld, as well as the probability that both the administration and the athletic department would react to the freeze by cancelling all varsity events and shutting down gym and athletic facilities that are essential to intramurals. “This was not a matter of backing down in the face of administration threats,” Mr. Jackaione stressed. The freeze would have held up all funds until a breakdown of signed contracts was supplied by the athletic department and an investigation undertaken to determine the legality of budgetary changes. The freeze, Mr. Jackaione said, “would have been inconsistent with the SA position, which would have frozen the athletic budget on Monday, November 11 if the athletic department did not meet SA demands to restore budget lines.” He added that “it is a sign of confusion, not firmness,” to allow the athletic department time to correct “a blatant disregard of Student Association policy, but, on the other hand, to give the department no time to actually forward information.” The original revisions made by the Athletic Department, which resulted in the freeze, stemmed from a need to pay off a deficit from last year’s budget. To compensate for the debt, the Athletic Department notified SA of its plans to transver funds from intramurals and recreation programs rather than from intercollegiate athletics. A compromise was reached Monday in the form of a revised budget. The adjusted budgetary figures restored most of these transferred funds, as SA treasurer Sal Napoli and executive vice president Scott Salimando reported at an Executive Committee meeting Monday night. Amused confusion seemed to characterize the Assembly’s reaction to a number of points of parliamentary procedure raised nt the Student Assembly meeting. In other business, an Executive Committee resolution to support the maintenance of the four course load system at State University at Buffalo was unanimously passed by the Student Assembly. The resolution states that SA believes “it is the inalienable right of the faculty, students and administration to determine the specific academic policies at SUNY Buffalo.” The Sub-Board fiscal budgetary allocation of $623,279.32 was approved by a margin of 334, with five abstentions. A motion to allow SA representatives on Sub-Board to allocate any remaining funds to the Day Care Center was defeated by only four votes. In proposing the motion, Assembly member Arthur Lalonde speculated that $10,000 would be left over if certain other allocations are not used. By a vote of 32-1, the Assembly approved a motion proposed by Sylvia Goldschmidt, Student Activities Chairperson, to re-allocate $800 to the Day Care Center from a previous plan to print a student club handbook. The line was changed because the Assembly felt a description of student clubs is currently being given adequate publicity in The Spectrum. Moreover, the reallocation was felt to be in keeping with a previous SA resolution in support of the Day Care Center. �accommodate 3000 students, but the dorm and student activity space is designed for just 1000. Some 2300 students now attend the institution, and all the men are tripled up in the dorms.

This installment discusses the po ssibilities of harnessing computer technology to give advisors more time for actual counseling. sacrificing time that could be spent counseling students.

This will be the first time the question of equating credits with contact hours will be raised in the Senate since 1968, Fac-Sen Chairman George Hochfield reported. Dr. Hochfield said that the Executive Committee had “made less progress than it hoped to," and indicated that the Committee would be examining specific alternatives to the four course load during the next few weeks. Another special sub-committee has been charged with formulating a set of proposals to be presented to the Executive Committee next Wednesday, Dr. Hockfield explained. Several members of the Committee had recommended last week either retaining the present system, adding one hour to each three hour class, or reducing three hour courses from four to three credits. Dr. Hochfield said these proposals were not voted on by the Committee because they were “sketchy.” and inappropriate for discussion. He said there was no urgency surrounding the issue, and that waiting until January will give the University community ample time to discuss the issue. Additionally, Executive Committee members will be asked to publicly state their positions, he said. Inconsistencies Dr. Hochfield suspects the Senate will not “push University to an upheaval” in this matter, indicating that he expects no major changes in academic policy by next September. He did not rule out the possibility of changes among individual Faculties, however. Discussing the resolution passed by the Student Association (SA) Executive Committee Monday, endorsing the four course load. Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) associate Dean Walter Kunz said “fiscal implications” were not the only factors underlying the evaluation of the four credit system. SA had indicated that budgetary considerations were forcing an examination of the University’s four course system. Dr. Kunz explained that the Academic Affairs Council had previously decided to examine the four course system because of “inconsistencies” between contact hours for science courses and non-science the for the system. SA president Frank Jackalone claimed that increasing faculty-student contact hours would cause a decline in admission applications and a decrease in enrollment, but Dr. Kunz asserted that there was no validity to this argument. Too indefinite Executive vice-president Somit said Albert Wednesday that applications for admissions did not increase when the University changed to the four so there is no reason to that applications would decline if the University converted back to the previous system. While Dr. Kunz acknowledged there is a possibility that more courses would mean more learning, he said “the meaning of a college degree is too indefinite” to be certain. “In some states the legislature mandates contact hours” for their state universities. Dr. Somit added, indicating that interference by Albany in State University of New York is minimal. The State Budget Division, he said, has individuals who specialize in education. course system in 1968, assume No question He also refuted claims by the Student Association that problems caused by increasing classroom time would be “enormous,” explaining that the University had previously been under the five course load. “The situation could be handled,” he said. The Executive vice-president also said that Faculties who presently have courses requiring more contact hours might have their credits assigned differently than other Faculties under a flexible system of granting credit. Constantine Yeracaris, campus representative to the United University Professionals (UUP), asserted that any change in the present four credit system that increases faculty workloads would have to be negotiated into the union’s contract, “Increasing workload without compensation is out of the question,” he said. Dr. Yeracaris also rejected the argument that this University should have a five course load simply becuase other institutions have one. “We have a fantastic amount of other work we do,” he said. Many faculty work in excess of 60 hours per week because of research, thesis guidance, committee and publishing responsibilities.

Radi Spectrum Staff Writer American Beer has been called horsepiss by its critics, but recent studies have contradicted this, saying it is not even THAT good. Apologies are extended to the horse which supplies the pure, unadulterated product our beer is another story. Fifty-nine chemicals and additives are used by American brewers to put frills on their product for maximum saleability, according to a little-publicized — study. Allowed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), these chemicals produce the features prized by most beer consumers the good head, the golden which in reality color, the sparkling translucence of Madison Avenue’s imagination are all outgrowths and a chemist’s devices. The five basic ingredients of beer water, malt, are still there, but malt adjuncts, hops, and yeast so is cthylenediaminetetraacetic acid, which prevents the beer from gushing out when opened. The clear look of beer is also the handiwork of chemists and advertising wizards, who have decided that cloudy beer is not popular beer; As a remedy, they added some proteases and filtered it through diatomacious earth. The golden color of American beer is less a result of natural brewing techniques that of caramel, an artificial additive. The rich head, another popular feature, one the brewmaster’s pride, is now made with a squirt of propylene glycol algitate or a drop of gum arabic. — - - — ‘harmless’ nature makes such printing a needless exercise in bad publicity. One of these “harmless” additives, cobalt sulfate, once added to produce a long-lasting head, has been linked to the deaths of 40 people, according to a study by the Center for Science on the Public Interest. The long-lasting head was apparently not sufficient compensation for the compound’s lethal effects, however, and the FDA outlawed it in 1964. The myth of purity in north-of-the-border brews was exploded by a Canadian chemist, who provided similar information about imports which are readily accessible in the Buffalo area. (He perferred, for obvious reasons, that neither his nor his company’s names be printed.) Origins Artificial additives were first introduced into the brewing process at the turn of the century, to eliminate the beer’s natural cloudiness, he said. Other special effects were then introduced to produce a more saleable produce, and today 56 chemicals are allowed in Canadian and 59 in American beers. He indicated that the only pure beer produced is brewed in Germany, where the “Reinhietsgebot” or Purity Law prohibits chemical additives. He too claimed that most additives are innocuous in “normal” doses, claiming, “If there is one beverage that is harmless and pure, it is beer.” He compared it favorably with soft drinks and wines, in which the FDA tolerates a higher amount of sulfur, for example. Chemicals Effects of copper residues in beer are now being Other chemicals allowed in American beer in the Canadian's laboratory. Copper is studies acid, include adipic acid, methyl maltol, malic absorbed from kettles and pipes by yeast and is not octanal, sodium ascorbate, potassium metabisulfite, totally removed from the beer in the yeast grapefruit oil, lemon oil, tartaric acid, and on and on extraction process before bottling. and on.

This would be far more constructive.” Marijuana bill vetoed —California Governor Ronald Reagan has vetoed a marijuana bill that would have lessened considerably the state’s pot penalties. The proposed pot bill, as approved by the State Assembly and Senate, would have made possession of small amounts of marijuana a misdemeanor. At present, judges in California are permitted to give felony sentences to first-time pot offenders. Reagan, in vetoing the bill, said that easing the pot laws would encourage “widespread marijuana abuse.” California currently has one of the three toughest marijuana laws in the United States. No rolling -A city councilman in Madison Heights, Mi., has introduced a bill that outlaws the selling of cigarette rolling papers to minors. Councilman Loren King’s proposal requires anyone purchasing rolling papers to first sign a city logbook giving his or her name and address. King says he hit upon his idea after watching some young people "who were obviously high on something” purchase rolling papers in a store. He explains: “I was pretty sure they hadn’t bought them to roll tobacco,” A preliminary vote by the Madison Heights Council indicates that members support the new ordinance by a four to three margin. If a second and final reading is approved, the law will become effective ten days later. Once the law is enacted, any store owner who sells “zig zags” to or fails to log the names of adults purchasing the papers minors is subject to a fine and a 90-day stint in jail. - - > ; �Giant step backward in Buffalo’s broadcasting by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor Buffalo radio, well known for its lack of creativity and imaginative programming, took what many consider another giant step backward in October when WPHD became WYSL-FM and began simulcasting with the AM station. The WYSL-FM and AM operation was purchased early this spring by Bob Howard, a Washington, D.C. broadcaster. Mr. Howard immediately applied to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) for permission to change the call letters to WYSL-FM for what he termed “obvious -purposes,” and began simulcasting 75 hours a week. The station now broadcasts a “contemporary sound” of top 40 records from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily and a progressive sound similar to the old WPHD format from 7 to 11. On weekends and during the middle of the night, each station broadcasts separately. Mr. Howard insists that the changes he instituted were not economic, although 23 persons have left the payroll since September 1. The new format, he claims, is “an acceptable way to serve Buffalo on AM and FM with a program of contemporary and progressive sound.” While admitting that he has received a tremendous amount of mail from people upset over the change in format, Mr. Howard said he also has a lot of support. Acceptance “1 feel pleased with the acceptance of both sounds,” Mr. Howard said. “A lot of people are devoted to the music and I sincerely respect them. But we can’t please everybody.” The format was not changed “precipitously,” he said, but because he felt it was the best way to satisfy everyone. “We wanted to give people exposure on both AM and FM to progressive sound,” Mr. Howard explained. Mr. Howard also eliminated the WYSL news department to make way for what he calls “a unique concept and presentation of hard news.” He has instituted service announcements, which include school lunch menus, job openings and “sound-off” feature. The three newspersons dropped from the station were angered over the abruptness of their departure. “He assured us there would be no major changes in any department,” said Freda Van Cleef, one of the newspersons fired from WYSL. “What took years to build took only three hours to destroy,” Ms. Van Cleff emphasized. Former news director L.B. Lyon indicated that disc jockeys are now reading news. “Some of them have no training in writing news or in good broadcast journalism techniques. “This is an insult to broadcast journalists, as well as an insult to the intelligence of the people in the Buffalo area,” Mr. Lyon asserted. Communicators Mr. Howard maintained, however, that more people are involved in writing and gathering news than ever before. The air personalities report the news simply because they are “communicators,” but they do not write their own copy 95 percent of the time, he said. Mr. Howard did admit that the news is more local in content as well as shorter, “more and more fluid. Basically, we’re a music radio station, not an all news station,” Mr. Howard condeded. Paul Edwards, a student at this University, tried unsuccessfully to set up a meeting between Mr. Howard and former WPHD listeners who were concerned about km ® WVSL urging them not to advertise on the station. “Howard has no concern for the Buffalo listening audience or to the huge WPHD following that the station once had,” Mr. Edwards stressed. “He had over 50 percent the ages of the listening of 18 and 34 and he’s giving it all away to make it like six or sdven other stations in Buffalo.” / Jim Santella, a former disc-jockey for WPHD, quit when Mr. Howard offered him a part-time job as an announcer.

Mr. Santella feels that the only reason for changing the station was “to make more money. If money was not the reason, why did he buy it in the first place. Howard doesn’t know anything about Buffalo or progressive radio,” he said. The only way Mr. Howard could be forced to change the station’s format is if considerable economic and legal pressure were brought against him, he explained. Radio stations are run for the public interest, and “the tendency is for the FCC to be more receptive to community pressures.” A great many listeners are signing petitions trying to get the station restored. “PHD provided special programming for a special audience instead of the usual top 40. Hundreds of people have spent thousands of dollars on stereo equipment to pursue a interest in progressive music and now all they can get is crap,” said one irrate listener, who pledged to boycott the station’s sponsors until PHD is restored. vlw WBEN-FM * involved with WPHD since its conception in 1969, Mr. Santella said that watching the station change was “like a child getting killed because WPHD never got a chance to grow up.” Mr. Santella, who is presently the night DJ at WEBR, said that Mr. Howard wanted to retain him on weekends only because “the audience and the sponsors were satisfied with my work, and only wanted to use me for my name.” WPHD was “a throwback to what big stations used to be able to do, establish a sense of community among its listeners,” he added. “People believed in it, and people listened to it.” the station. Although Mr. Howard had previously stated, “I’ll act on the will of the people,” Mr. Edwards quoted him as saying on the phone, “Leave me alone. You’re barking up the wrong tree. I don’t care if you’ve got 50,000 people out there,” before he abruptly hung up. Mr. Howard declined to comment on the incident, but said he had tried to be as responsive as possible. But Mr. Edwards said that because Mr. Howard has been unresponsive, he would look into the possibility of taking the matter before the FCC and sending petitions to sponsors 511 Main St. and All Purchase Radio Stores Office President Ford Tuesday withdrew his nomination of Andrew E. Gibson to succeed John Sawhill as Federal Energy Administrator. The withdrawl of the nomination had been expected ever since the disclosure of a severance contract Mr. Gibson holds with the Inter-state Oil Transport Co. of Philadelphia. The contract calls for Interstate to pay Mr. Gibson $88,000 a year for the next ten years. This amount is regarded as unusually high for someone who served only 16 months with the firm. Mr. Gibson met Monday with the President and was persuaded to resign the nomination because of a potential conflict of interest, thus saving the White House the embarrassment of having him interrogated by a Senate sub-committee, and possibly being rejected by the Senate. Ron Nessen, White House press secretary, announced that “the matter was handled imperfectly,” and that Donald Rumsfeld, White House chief of staff, “volunteered to take the blame.” Mr. Gibson had maintained that his contract with Interstate was, words, “an ironclad one,” and that no matter what he did while his in he was Administrator it could not alter his contract to any degree. He also defended himself in his letter of resignation to the President by saying that his severance contract “would not inhibit the discharge of my responsibilities.” President Ford accepted the resignation with his “deepest regrets,” but said he was doing so only because he wanted to fill the vacated position as promptly as possible.

Although the federal government assumes the loss, the bill ultimately lands on the taxpayer’s doorstep. That bill, says the GAO, could be as high as a half billion dollars. And the yearly default rate shows a steady increase. Senator Claiborne Pell (D-R.I.) recently reported that the rate of defaults is expected to climb from last year’s 14 percent to more than 18 percent and level off at 24.3 percent. Why? With the cost of a college degree almost doubling over the last ten years, more and more students have found borrowing necessary. But as they leave school, they face an increasingly restricted job market and a tight money market. — No jobs “We get a lot of letters requesting deferments because of unemployment,” said E.A. Holcomb, head of Northern Illinois University’s Accounts Receivable Office. He noted that a large number of the defaulters are dropouts who have poor job prospects. Many students who do graduate have faced the reality of their depleted funds and uncertain earning power by declaring bankruptcy upon receiving their diplomas. Almost 2,500 students filed for bankruptcy during 1974, leaving unpaid $3 million in loans. Those who simply stop payments on loans ruin their credit rating. The ranks of the defaulters have swollen for yet another reason. In alarming numbers profit-seeking schools which have exploited federally-insured student loans in recruiting have folded. When they close, they leave thousands of angry students halfway through a program, unable to find work and determined not to pay back loans for an incomplete education. The GAO has estimated that students at these proprietary schools will make up 58 percent of the defaults on currently outstanding federally-insured loans. Suspension U.S. Education Commissioner Terrel H. Bell called the figure “shocking” and promised that new regulations- would provide for closer monitoring of these institutions and for their suspension if it were necessary. Senator Pell added that many proprietary schools give their admissions officers “commissions to enroll students” but often don’t explain loan obligations to students. Such institutions, he suggested, should be dropped from the loan program. Legislators and educators have been hard at work investigating other causes and effects of loan defaulting. “We now have data to detect where abuses are taking place,” said Commissioner Bell. Steps have been taken, he continued, that should reduce the rate to 12 percent. They include: —Upgrading the section responsible for the loan program to a branch of the Office of Education called the Office of Guaranteed Student Loans (OGSL). -Enlarging the enforcement staff (from only three in 1972 to more than 90), which will try to collect defaulted loans and work with participating banks to improve collections. — —Preparing new, tough regulations for banks and schools involved in the program. —Warning participating banks that they will be removed from the program if they misrepresent applicants in order to qualify for loans or if they inadeuqately screen the borrowers. High tuition While legislators and education officials strengthen their collection efforts and devise preventative regulations to cut defaulting, colleges and universities have been attacking the root of the problem: high tuition. While their motive in cutting tuition is generally to increase enrollment, the effect has been to cut or reduce loans and, in turn, defaults. Four of the five units in Vermont’s state college system have reduced their tuition by $100 for in-state residents this fall. The fifth unit of the system, the Community College of Vermont, has begun a voluntary payment plan. The college has set the fee per course at $30 but the student decides how much of that he can pay. Since the pay-what-you-can program began last year, college officials have reported they’ve received $75,000 in voluntary payments, compared with $100,000 if the school had collected a fixed fee. They estimated it would have cost $40,000 to collect $100,000, “so maybe we’re $15,000 ahead.” Other schools have held the line on their current tuition. On the 72 campuses of the State University of New York tuition has not risen, this year. Tuition at Ohio state schools has been “frozen” for the next two years by the state legislature. Three years Some schools have devised other plans to hold down the cost of a degree and aid repayment of loans. One of these plans, more and more widely used, allows a student to finish undergraduate programs in three instead of the traditional four at a 25 percent saving in time and money. years Credits can also be earned more quickly at many colleges through work experience and special examinations. Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have established programs under which they propose to use their own funds to help borrowers in the early working years when income is relatively low. The amounts financed by the university in this way become uninsured notes which can be paid off as the income rises. Other plans have reached the talking stage. President Kingman Brewster, Jr. of Yale University has proposed a system of federal credits for college living costs which students would repay out of future income as part of their income tax bills. Senator Abraham Ribcoff (D-Conn.) has been pushing a bill that would provide students and parents a tax credit of up to $325 on the first $1500 they pay for tuition, fees, books and supplies again, to reduce loans and defaults. But all these new plans for financing education have yet to influence the high default rates. Because the Office of Education has switched to a new projection model it can’t determine exactly how much the proportion of student defaulters has risen over the past few years. “All we know,” said Kenneth A. Kohl, the associate Commissioner of Education, “is that the proportion of student defaulters is going up.” — Page six The Spectrum Friday, 15 November 1974 . . willingness to help the recycling committee.

Most doctors estimate, in fast, that the ratio of male to female problem drinkers is now even, a phenomenon that is becoming more apparent as women join the work force in larger numbers.

Last year, Americans spent over $21 billion for alcoholic beverages. One-third of all arrests each year are for public intoxication, and at least half of the 50,000 Americans killed each year in traffic accidents die at the hands of drivers who drink. In addition, more than half a million disabling injuries were suffered last year in automobile accidents involving problem drinkers.

The Spectrum Page seven . �Day Care statement No confirmation Confirming Nelson Rockefeller as Vice President — or combining the financial power of the nation's wealthiest family with the political authority of the Executive branch of government would only give large corporations a greater stranglehold on the nation's economic and political life. How can a man whose private wealth is greater than that of entire countries be expected to work toward establishing a more equitable tax system or speak out against the monopolies that have already reaped enormous profits from the energy crisis? — Mr. Rockefeller's $2.5 million in loans and gifts to public officials are a good example of how one individual can misuse his wealth to exert a powerful influence over many areas of public policy. As Senator Howard Cannon of the Senate Rules Committee points out, the gifts may well have placed those who received them in "psychological servitude" to the former governor. In the most publicized display of this phenomenon, William Ronan, a long-time Rockefeller associate who is chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, received a "gift" of $555,000 from the former governor, even though he already was the third highest paid public official in the country. It is certainly no coincidence that the Port Authority that Ronan heads is a major public agency governing roads, bridges and tunnels, and among other things, issues public bonds on which the Rockefeller family bank might be a bidder. Of equal concern is Mr. Rockefeller's role and his changing recollections of the financing of a derogatory book about Arthur Goldberg, his Democratic opponent for Governor in 1970. In contrast to his previous assertion before the Rules Committee that he had turned the other way when long-time aide John Wells informed him of arrangements to publish the book, Mr. Rockefeller testified Monday that he had specifically asked his brother to help find backers for the book. When Mr. Rockefeller attributed his shift in testimony to a "sketchy” memory, he came off sounding a lot like John N. Mitchell, H.R. Haldeman, and John three supposedly intelligent men who also Erlichman displayed poor memories in their statements before the Senate Watergate Committee. Aside from these considerations, Mr. Rockefeller’s twisted conception of justice will only have a broader effect if he becomes Vice President. When humiliating conditions at the Attica "correctional facility" gave inmates there no recourse but to publicize the atrocities of prison life, Mr. Rockefeller could not bring himself to co to Attica and speak with them. And because he interpreted a spontaneous demonstration as the greatest threat to law and order of the last century and ordered the prison recaptured at any cost, — 43 men died. For these and other reasons, naming Nelson Rockefeller Vice President will only reinforce the economic, political and moral injustices which this country would be better off exorcising, The Spectrum Friday, 15 November 1974 Vol. 25, No. 36 Editor-in-Chief — Larry Kraftowitz Managing Editor Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Michael O'Neill Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen Business Manager Neil Collins - — — — Jay Boyar Randi Schnur Ronnie Selk Asst.

Editor's note: The following statement was submitted by the Day Care Center Steering Committee. The Day Care Center is still open and providing day care to the campus, but our struggle for survival is by no means over. Although the University Administration has finally managed to come up with the short-term funds necessary to pay our staff for this semester, it is oh the condition that we meet to negotiate about their long-term plans for incorporating the Center into an academic program which is of use to the University. Their idea is to establish a Center that will serve the academic interests of departments. This is not our idea of a Center. We want a Center to meet the needs of low-income and working people with children, especially women and minorities, so they can have the opportunity to attend school and/or work. We feel providing low-cost quality child care is a crucial part of any institution’s Affirmative Action Program. Therefore, we want an adequately funded Day Care Center which is parent-controlled to insure that the Center meets the needs of parents and children. � From the discussions we’ve already had with the Administration, it is clear that the central issue is that of parent-control. We feel it is parent-control; the important to maintain University Administration refuses to agree to this principle. As in other areas of the University (most notably the Colleges), the University Administration is trying to abolish what little control we have over organizations vital to our lives. We are resisting this and will continue to insist upon parent-control as a part of any plan But seriously . . for the future of the Center. However, we have been told that if we, as a Center, cannot reach agreement with the Administration’s proposal by January 1975, the Center will be closed. The question we have to ask at this point is how can we maintain the kind of Center we feel best serves the needs of low-income and working people on this campus? The answer lies in mass campus support, as we learned in September and October. In September the University Administration told us that they could do nothing; their hands there was no money for the Center, were tied Then, after several weeks of active campus campaigning and a series of increasingly militant demonstrations at Hayes Hall, the University came up with short-term funds and a long-term proposal. What made them change their attitude from September to October? Obviously, when it was evident to the Administration that there was active campus-wide support for day care as a service, they had to recognize the demand and meet it. But the demand has not been fully met yet. We are still struggling for a long-term commitment from the University Administration to adequately fund a parent-controlled day care center and to expand the services for MFC - students. These demands will only be met if we continue to demonstrate to the University Administration that there is mass campus support for day care as a service. Join us in our struggle. Support our demands for long-term funding from the Administration, parent-control and expansion for MFC students. Day care is a right, not a privilege.

Then, very suddenly, it becomes real. You begin to notice things, think about things.. You count the musicians, look at the equipment, watch their faces, their eyes, look for communications. You become aware that you are sitting in a seat, watching a concert, listening to music. You think about past albums, songs you'd like to hear, other concerts, other musicians. You feel a little hungry, a little uncomfortable, hot, crowded, tired. Thirsty too. And so if you're smart, you light up and start all over again and have a great time. Now Robin Trower has been associated with Jimi the Great recently; something about carrying on that Great tradition but with his own style. Sure enough, there were those big Marshall mothers, four of them with six horns each, red lights gleaming, hinting at the monstrosity within. And sure enough, he turned them up all the way and sent beautiful distorted thunderbolts of pure volume through my skull without pain, and it was a universe in itself, but it was like empty space call it the focus of glazed-eye lobotomy, with no such heavenly bodies as Jimi the Great used to conjure. The sound was there, but it's like having the best guitar and not being able to play it. It looks good, but there's more to it than that. — No soap radio Maybe he didn't really get warmed up last night. Or maybe he was bummed out by the fucking radio that his amps kept picking up. It came out so loud that he couldn't do any quiet songs, and at one point he even shouted in frustration, "How can I play guitar!" He did his best to forget about it and played loud rockers all night. He got cooking about halfway through the set, (his drummer was really fine) but he took very few leads, mostly doing rhythm behind the vocals of his bass player, and short four-bar fills between sections, that sort of stuff. It was good, solid, but not impressive. And it was only about a half hour long. Oh yes he was called back for an encore, which was his best, I guess he was loose by then, and went off with a flourish.

He picked all the songs that everyone wanted to hear so that when the yelling started "Headhunter!" "World in Changes" "Peelin' All Rightl" he was ready. It was a professional act, and it was obvious that it was for us, the audience. What a good feeling, to be taken into consideration. Something else; The stage volume was low and clear, as opposed to the usual sound bombardment. Instead of turning up, the amps were miked through the PA, making up the power difference. That made everything a lot nicer to listen to. He's really pretty mellow, sort of a down home full rich rock sound, warm and beautiful, with perfect taste.

Hey now, what's the difference between a basketball game and the people that come to watch it? In basketball, one team usually wins. So now I ask you: If you can turn on your TV sets for free, what possible reason could anybody have for travelling to the big jar? Am I making myself clear? Here We went to Memorial Auditorium to see David Bowie, and got Bobby Rydell ceiling, pointed to heaven, assumed a threatening bow-legged stance, swung his arms, high-stepped a bit, and even shook his head back. All in all it was as good as Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdink, and of course Bobby Rydell and Frank Sinatra, not to mention Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, and even Daynny Kaye and Robert Goulet, and Captain Beefheart. His feet — instead. We went to Memorial Auditorium to see David Bowie and got Bobby Rydell instead. We went to Memorial Auditorium to see David Bowie and got Bobby Rydell instead. Camera power My mother told me, but not in those words. The first thing she said was that in ten places in the contract, Bowie specified that absolutely no cameras were to be allowed in. Groovy. But the contract made no provisions for the people escorting the cameras. As I arrived, police and others were scanning for cameras, and threw them all out. I flashed on the civil rights movement and what it must have been like when blacks were not allowed in certain places. I must confess. Secretly, I have been a camera for a few years. Not only that, but some of my best friends are cameras. That’s funny, because they don't look like cameras. Anyway, to make a long story short, because I was with my mother, and they could relate to her better than all the punks, they let us in. By this time the first set was half over. Bowie's warm up act was performed by his back up band. As we walked in they were doing "Moody's Mood For Love." I kid you not. I asked the people in the area who they were, and most of’ them didn't give a shit, but some of them thought they were Godspell, and judging by the looks and acts of them, I almost believed it. An integrated chorus of singers with limited swaying action, a typical big stage TV band with electric instruments and saxophone Street for Euthanasia. — Sesame Casbah The material was, to say the least, traditional. My mother recognized all the songs, but no one else did. Have you ever been to a country fair? Where there’s thousands of people moving in every direction like a swarm of kinetic energy, really into moving around with their eyes on the ground and everywhere? That was the scene on the floor of the arena. Never have I seen such indifference to the stage. It was like an Arab street market, and it was really noisy, too. Be never left the stage. warned; There was no organized seating back of twenty roWs, no matter what your ticket says. Except for the people whose seats we were sitting in. "You know, I believe in being brotherly and all that, but I travelled two hundred miles to see this concert—" I really wanted to punch him out but I believe in being brotherly and all that too, so I got up and let him have his seat. I sat on the floor for a while, but there was too much bass down there, so I stood up the rest of the night. What's the ugliest Part of your body? What's the ugliest Part of your body? Some say your nose Some say your toes But think it's your MIIIIIIYYYIIIIYY Ylll INNNNNDDDD HH" / Just buying time The crowd never got off the ground. Even the drug amnesiacs, instead of soaring through space, kept falling on the floor. I half expected a real life rock 'n roll suicide but before it could happen Bowie sang it and brought everybody back to life. "Suffragette City" too. And all those other songs he does, which were hard to differentiate because the sound wasn’t coming through too well. They tried to do it in quad, with PA's in the back corners, but they didn't account for the stage amps and consequently it was not in sync. That can get a little tbugh to handle, but that's nothing new. In fact there was nothing new all night. Sure, it was my fault for having such high expectations, but after that last tour he did, coming down from the sky on a big hand and all that, how should I know he was just buying time on this tour? I suppose he'll get his next wind soon, maybe the next tour, and then he'll be ready to answer the big question: What will Bowie do next? But until then folks, take it light and don't jump to any memorials. —Mr. Honesty — yeah Syntho-star Then Bobby Rydell came on. Everyone cheered.

Ontario Burnt Ticket Agency, Burlington / ' quickly jumped into a set of about eight songs. Most notable of these eight was the very slow and beautiful “Harbor Me," and "Mournful Melodies," a song about "dirty rotten guitar players." Steve Winwood's "Can't Find My Way Home," as done in Folia's Joni Mitchell style is also worthy of some praise. If you feel like having a good time on some Monday night, you could catch Polla at the Bona Vista on Hertel Ave. No ride During Folia's set some friends of mine slipped away to try and invite John and the band down to the Central Park Grill after the show for the Sunday night "sit in." When they returned, they informed me that they had spoken to Jerry McKuen, the slide guitar player in Sebastian's band. Jerry liked the idea of doing some jamming that night, but there was one obstacle in his way no ride. This is where I came in. I agreed to drive and was told that we would meet him back stage after the concert. Great! After the intermission, the student Master of Ceremonies took to the stage to inform the crowd that there was no smoking and to give a warm welcome to John Sebastian. Dressed in orange pants, a blue t-shirt, and white shoes (I found out later that he was wearing pink socks), Sebastian plugged in his guitar, thanked the audience for such nice applause, then jumped into a rockin' version of "Lovin' — You." John is very enthusiastic about the band he's got now and right from the very beginning he was letting them cook. The band, which was used on his recently released Tarzana Kid album, consists of Jerry McKuen, Ron Koss on lead guitar, Kelly Shanahan on drums, and Kenny Altman on bass. Ah, the fifties His second number, "You're A Big Boy Now," off Sebastion's first solo Ip, was a bit of a disappointment to me. I had always pictured that particular song being done by Sebastian alone, rather than with electric backing. After doing a cut off his jumping, he sat us down with "a sad but nice song about a place where we all spend some time at one time or another" Jimmy Cliff's "Sitting in Limbo." The band then went through "Black Satin Kid," "Dixie Chicken," "She's A Lady" (the about raining daisies drawing oohs and ahs from the last line hand and saw John Sebastian, changing the strings on his guitar, members of his band, changing empty bottles of beer for full ones, and my friend somehow Ronni, who had managed to get in and inform them that a reporter was outside in the hall. in crowd), "Face of Appalachia" and Lonnie Johnson's "Sportin' Life" before breaking into an Together three years We all just hung out for about 20 minutes before I was able to instrumental Where talk to John alone. When we did get to speak, I told him that I hadn't expected an interview so I didn't have any set questions. He said that he realized that and that I should just ask whatever comes to mind "Future plans?" I asked. Sebastian showed off his ability to blow the harmonica. The band did a rocking “Lashes Larue" off The Four of Us Ip, before getting into a string oldies from John's Lovin' Spoonful days. Sebastian got the crowd on its feet with "Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind." He then did another of favorite, “Daydream," before ending with "Summer in the City." "Well, as of late, we've just released the Tarzana Kid album and we should be heading back into a recording schedule this fall." He added that the next album will be produced by Eric Jacobson, Backstage The first encore brought John back, harp in hand, to do "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice," and my personal favorite, "Do You Believe In Magic." When it became apparent that the audience would once again refuse to leave, John came out once again and acoustically did "Darlin' Be Home Soon." Bowing off slowly, he thanked Canisius, and left the stage for the last time. While the crowd was leaving, my friends and I walked over to the backstage entrance where we immediately ran into some hassles about getting in. Finally, our old friend Jerry came out and gave the guard the word, and we all went struttin' through. So there I was, waiting outside of John Sebastian's dressing room for some of the guys in his band when somebody pokes his nose out the door and asks "Who's the guy that's writin' the article? John says he'll talk to the door realized (ah, the fifties). writing a story on the concert in Prodigal Sun pad you."

Over in Trailer seven. College F is into that trip, and is living proof of its validity. It is real and it can work. Chick Corea and Return To Forever are the musical pied pipers of an enriching perspective on life. (Signet, $1.25) The fourth of the highly successful New Dimensions series has just been released. Robert Silverberg, one of science fiction's most prolific writers, edits the series, which is dedicated to presenting the most striking and original science fiction of our tifhe. He manages brilliantly, once Only two originals Of the original Return To Forever band, only Chick and Stanley Clarke remain, Stanley also being into scientology. He is a bass player, has been professional for about five years, and is in his early twenties. He is a wonder child, as you will see tonight. Also in the current band is drummer Lenny White, who is also a wonder child. He and Stanley started out together as the rhythm section of Joe Henderson's band. Call them the Wonder Brothers. The remaining member of the group is guitarist Al DiMeola. After Bill Connors left the group, there was someone else on guitar whose name escapes me. Five days before the group's appearance in Carnegie Hall during the Newport Festival this summer, he left, leaving an empty guitar. Al DiMeola was discovered on an old audition tape that had been sitting around for awhile in someone's office. Yes, there is a Horatio Alger. During those five days he cut an album and appeared onstage at Carnegie Hall with Return To Forever. That concert was incredible, by the way. In the middle of the show everyone walked offstage, and Stanley walked on alone with a stand-up bass and played solo. again Richard Lupoff, in "After the Dreamtime," continues the saga of the world he created in his novella "With the Bentfin Boomer Boys on Little Old New Alabama" which appeared in Harlan Ellison's Again, Dangetous Visions. The story in New Dimensions is written from a different perspective, drawing heavily on poetry and resembling the work of Poul Anderson. Here, racial prejudice is the theme, for the "Sky Heroes" are descended from Australian Aborigines. Because of the concentration of melanin pigment in their skins they can fly a membrane ship without suits, working on a natural deck reminiscent of the great clipper ships. The whites are forced to remain within closed rooms as protection from radiation and the Sky Heroes refer to them as "meat" cargo. So what's the music like? Well, here goes. It's like rock, with electric instruments and all, and a funky bottom, but there is a lot of soloing and interplay, many changes, some complex, some simple. It is never raunchy or raucous. No matter how heavy it gets, it seems light at the same time. No matter how driving it gets, it always seems pretty. There are touches of other kinds of music in it, like Miles and Mahavishnu, and there are distant places in it too, like Mexico or Spain white man has seen and dies because of it. Remarkably, this is Elwood's first SF story, although it is hindered by his attempts at experimental writing, and the unrelated paragraphs and unfinished there must be a sentences are frustrating. However "however" if the cautious Silverberg has published it That's the best I can do. The best you can do is see for yourself. And if that's not incentive enough, then get this: Keith Jarrett will be opening with a solo performance. "Who is Keith Jarrett?" I hear you saying. He is a pianist, on the verge of being widely reputed as a great genius of our time. He has played in many groups previously, and formed groups of his own, but it is as a solo performer that he is unbelievable. There is a three record set on ECM called Solo-Concerts, which must be heard, please. For six sides (two hours), he plays, beginning as with a seed, then makes it sprout, grow, develop branches and flowers, all the time strengthening the stem, all as one unified whole, one man's self-exposure. Building all the while, round in cycles, memories and brainstorms, the growth of ideas, and a period at the end, or maybe just a series of dots, question marks, commas, or exclamation points. So please, please, try to come tonight and decide for yourself whether this is for you. I believe it is, as do Jeff, Midge, UUAB, Charlie, Paul, Gene, and of course. Chick, Stanley, Lenny, Al and Keith. See you. ____ ___ "Animal Fair" is what it says: animals gathered. They form a judicial body and judge their host as Lafferty laughs.

Student Association PARTY tomor'r'oW~ oVTO 'p ~m7 Student Club Our Weekly Reader The Obsession, by Meyer Levin (Simon and Schuster, $8.95) After reading Meyer Levin's The Obsession, one remembers the ironic fact that Alexander Sozhenitsyn fled Russia to escape, among other things, the censorship of his work. Meyer Levin was an American writing in a presumably free country, one in which people thrive on truth, and yet he faced the continued censorship of one of his greatest works, something which has haunted him for over twenty years. Ellicott - FREE ADMISSION FREE BEER Mixed Drinks • Live Music by SHEFFIELD Sponsored by Student Activities Fees UUAB Fine Arts Film Comm, proudly presents The Obsession was written to expose the repeated suppression of the author's dramatization of The Diary of Anne Frank. Written in the early fifties, The Diary was designed to acquaint the public with the young girl's struggle as a Jew in Nazi Germany. Upon the work's Friday, Nov. 15 IF completion, it was found by critics to be unstageworthy, largely they claimed Meyer Levin was "no dramatist." Another version was subsequently written by colleages of Levin's using some of his original scenes. The only difference between the two was that the latter seemed to be "less Jewish" in nature. because Throughout the years, Levin's version of the play was performed from time to time, underground and illegally. Its reception was fantastic. Audiences were repeatedly impressed by the amount of emotion that came through. They felt they could honestly relate to the girl's plight. And it was because of the "Jewishness" of the play that the audiences related so well. Although Levin knew there was a kind of conspiracy against him (Anne's father had later admitted that the play was banned only because of its Jewish nature), he was still concerned that he seemed, to others as well as to himself, to be obsessed. True, all of his works after that time appeared to receive low ratings from the critics, but he wondered whether or not he was blowing things out of proportion. Maybe Levin just could not admit to the existence of such a conspiracy. Because he constantly probed his own mind for the answers, he consulted several analysts during the period. They tended to support him and help him in his quest for some sort of justice while, to some of his colleagues, he appeared to be a kind of fanatic. The Obsession was written in a very honest and deeply emotional manner. The reader cannot help but be swept up in the author's cause. This is partially because of the dramatic, novelistic style in which the book was written and partially because of Levin's great determination. In the wake of Solzhenitsyn's great popularity and public admiration, it is interesting to find someone in our midst who is due some of the same kind of credit. It is also interesting to compare the struggles of the two men. Both are fighting men, interested in preserving man's basic rights. They are courageous and willing to stand up against cultural dictatorship and literary suppression. —Jane Bacon Prodigal Sun Directed by Linday Anderson starring Malcolm McDowell & Christine Noonan Sat. & Sun.

Jeweler Staff What can you say about a movie that is just plain bad? Not even an inspired clunker, like Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter, but something with no redeeming qualities whatever? After I saw The Crazy World of Julius Vrooder, I felt like the prize ass of the century for ever having believed that it could have been worthwhile at all. The “plot" hinges on Vietnam vet Julius Vrooder (Timothy Bottoms) having been declared "psychiatrically impaired." He is thus not responsible for his actions, you see, and can get away with doing various crazy things, though he's really as sane as you or I. Julius' fakery, however, is so obvious that it's impossible to believe that anyone could ever have certified him insane. It just does not work. The basic premise of the film is completely invalid. The establishment ws. the brat The loyalties of the characters are easily established: anyone who ever tries to prevent Vrooder from doing anything he damn pleases is either pitiful, pompous, or just plain nasty. Vrooder is meant, all too obviously, to come off as the successful challenger of a 'horde of modern icons parental authority, the police, the doctor who runs the VA hospital where he's being treated, even the utility companies (Vrooder has built a bunker in a freeway park complete with free electricity, water, and telephone service). What he ends up being is a A few years ago, there was an abundant spoiled brat who always gets his own way and can do no wrong. He is infuriating. blooming in theatres everywhere of a malignant Two of the guiding hands behind Julius Vrooder weed called the "youth movie."

Friday, 15 November 1974 Prodigal Sun �'Gold': a tragedy in time confused by Dean Billanti Spectrum Arts Staff Gold opens with a ritual native tirbal dance, which evokes the feeling of age-old customs. The film then switches to a sequence of the contrast is established and the tone modern minig procedures set. The plot concerning a mining disaster and the people inside is inconsequential. What is the corporate structure involved important, however, is the depth and resonance that Peter Hunt's direction has given the film. The relationship between Gold and Nicholas Roeg's recent Don't Look Now is interesting. Don't Look Now deals with a personal tragedy in which people are still fighting a battle against but its ending signals an acceptance of death and unknown forces a world in decline. Gold cannot find time to deal with such a “small" tragedy and so picks a massive one instead, and although it makes the pretense of a happy ending, the ending is perfunctory. Hunt's film takes place in a modern world after the battle has been fought and lost. The characters seem to be entombed in glass, and the film's images reinforce this motif: the heroine is seen on a phone behind an airport window, as a departing plane is reflected in the glass (its nose heading for her). Again, two people are seen through a window, while the heroine is reflected, small and insignificant, in a corner of the film's frame: a statue seems to be aiming its upraised gun at a glass building; lovers are dissolved into these buildings. — — — — 'O Lucky Man!* A symbolic concept oflife O Lucky Man! may well be Malcolm McDowell's symbolic concept of his life. It is said that McDowell once did a stint as a salesman; a capitalist doggedly pursuing teaches the game to Travis, who doesn't discover the truth until he is sentenced to a five-year stay in a London prison success. Considering the movie, it is very plausible. The film is in constant flux. It changes rapidly from one encounter to the next, and, although it is confusing at first, the moods and the methods soon mesh like clockwork. McDowell (as Michael Travis) experiences heaven and hell, sin and purity, fantasy and reality. He's the Billy Pilgrim of the modern set; he tries to conform to and understand this existential world that fluctuates beyond his naive comprehension. The voice of sanity in the film, a voice that is dry and tempered, belongs to Alan Price. Price's lyrics are truth; his music relieves the tension of suspense. Together they encourage the feeling that the audience, too, is on some vague magic carpet ride, with modern technology providing the current and the direction. Fortunate flim-flammers The lucky men, the men who succeed, are the men who fly our carpet. Politics and technology are their games, glass and steel are their sanctuaries, manipulation is their method. They are the masters of the super-swindle. McDowell spins 180 degrees in this film. Beginning his business career in London, he is an ambitious, optimistic coffee salesman (for a company that sells processed Nigerian coffee back to Nigeria). He tours England and Scotland, getting cuddled, cudgled, cajoled, and contorted. He emerges capitalistic, back in London, but he hasn't even begun to learn. Thinking that he has the formula for fame and wealth, he takes up with Sir James (Ralph Richardson). Sir James, as the kingpin capitalist, Cinematic crusade After five years of isolation, our hero rejoins society, determined to follow his star in the slums of London. Preaching to society's victims (against a bulletin board backdrop that declares "Revolution is the opium of the intellectuals") is too painful and fruitless for Travis to bear. Film, McDowell is saying, is the only medium that the people will accept as a a tool of revolution. The substructure of the movie is masterful. Each actor (except McDowell) successfully portrays several characters, to further illustrate the theme of flux. Jocelyn Herbert is the production designer, an imaginative woman with The Loves of Isadora to her credit. The suitable beauty and mood of the film is successfully captured by Miroslav Ondricek's camera, and he has some weird opinions about heaven and hell on earth. Writer David Sherwin has a penchant for the vernacular of all classes of the English hierarchy. O Lucky Man! is a film to see twice, to intellectualize about, to take seriously, Malcolm McDowell is a talented, creative man the idea for the film was his, although Lindsay Anderson a fine actor, a thinker, O Lucky Man! directed it will be playing Saturday and Sunday at the Conference Theatre in Norton Hall. Every second of it is poetry. Another exercise in cinepoetry, If. . (the first 0 Lucky Man!

A night time business meeting takes place in a building high above the city, which glows an orange-gold through the windows; the heroine speaks on a phone to the left of the screen, while to the right there are shelves supporting statuary and the color is the same orange-gold. If a film could get by on technical achievements alone Gold would be a classic. Hunt stages a flood in one sequence and a golf game in the next the visual contrast alone is jolting. A scene with a rampaging car is exciting and stunningly executed. Hunt uses children in the film as a contrast to the corrupt adults, but even with a sequence in which a bomb explodes and kills a family (on Christmas morning, as two little girls unwrap their gifts) the director can't seem to conjure up enough emotion in himself to convey anything to the audience. He also uses blatant love theme music to camouflage this lack of feeling during the romantic scenes. — he Roger Moore would seem a perfect hero for this film shows no noticeable emotion. Susannah York, an excellent actress (Tom Jones; Images; X.Y and Zee) whether eating strawberries in a white silk slip or combing her hair while flying a plane, is used more for pictorial effect than anything else. She seems to be aware of this — and as a result talks nervously fast and seems disheartened. A viewer of this film cannot tell whether he is coming out of the mine shaft into the world outside or vice versa and that seems to be the idea — . — Conference Theatre. —Bonnie Semons Yes, one of the bands credited the Moog a making household word, will be appearing at the Aud next Thursday night at 8:30 p.m. Also on the bill: with Gryphon. Prodigal Sun Friday, 15 November 1974 The Spectrum . Page seventeen . �Todd Rundgren's Utopia (Bearsville) Since the days of Nazz, Todd Rundgren has followed his own musical instincts. In the late 60's when most American groups were looking to the San Frlncisco sound for guidance and inspiration, Todd's muse faced and communed with the citadel of England. Nazz was to incorporate a rock Beatle-like harmonic structure, the rowdy, hard rock savvy of the Who, while Rundgren fashioned his guitar playing after Jeff Beck. Todd has always demonstrated a proclivity to experiment and take chances rather than relax and fall victim to a — repititious, predictable formulation. Rundgren's first three solo albums chiefly involved and detailed the bittersweet web of interpersonal relationships. The wavering and evocative emotions of self-doubt, vulnerability. Love's loss and despair color this period. This phase reached its culmination with Something/Any thing;. Yet Todd was not to be seduced by the commercial success of "I Saw The Light," and "Hello It's Me" to toy with adolescent heartstrings while milking their pursestrings. Instead he threw a slider into his musical direction. After ingesting hallucinogens Todd began constructing an acid-laced cosmic vision which manifested itself in the albums A Wizard, A True Star and Todd. Rundgren changed the musical structures from mainly lush and lavish ballads to synthesized anarchy, using interpersonal relations as the starting point for conveying a larger philosophical and societal striving. The albums transform themselves into epistles of communication between Todd and his fans. Since Todd is also a much demanded and respected producer, he can earn a living from his production prowess and release his albums as labors of love instead of business entities. This reinforces Todd's experimental predisposition without being grossly compromised by the pressure and sway of that lowest common denominator; record sales. Bearsville, a small offshoot of Warner Brothers headed by Albert Grossman, Todd's manager, affords Rundgren an intimate and understanding atmosphere to work and create in. Out of this fecund milieu erupts Todd Rundgren's Utopia. The new album is not a solo venture but a combined group offering, even if Tod is the guru directing matters. The disc's primary purpose is to represent what Todd Rundgren's Utopia is like on the road and touring. The first aspect that is striking about the record is that this single Ip is over 58 minutes in playing time. Compare this with the running time of, let's say idiewiid South by the Allmans which runs just a shade over 31 minutes. This reduces out to about twice the musical quantity and roughly ten times the musical quality of Idlewild South. From this elementary mathematical formula, you can begin to arrive at a vague inkling of the herculean force of the music. Utopia emphasizes a swooping falcon power, regal and awesome in its energy yet also molded with an ethereal and aerial lightness. The band performs this paradoxical synthesis with unerring fluidity. The nearest I can come to accurately describing the music's ravishingly beautiful flux would be by way of roundhouse analogy. Take Walt Disney's rainbow visuals in Alice in Wonderland and somehow reproduce it auditorily with smashing results and you'll be near, if not in, utopia. Utopia, lyric-wise, is a fantasy tour through Rundgren's conception of an Olympian paradise. The lyrics remain sketchy enough to sidestep pretentiousness and allow the listener to embellish the framework with his or her personal utopia. The Utopia personnel are all fine musicians. When Rundgren pounces on a wailing riff the band is always there supporting and pushing him further and further, like a pack of hounds hot on the scent. The scintillating keyboard dynamics of Moogy Klingman and Ralph Shuckett is RECORDS amply displayed. Kevin Ellman (percussion) and John Siegler (bass and cello) are electrifying rhythmasters providing a solid and inventive bottom to the sound. M. Frog Labat, who has since departed Utopia for limbo, expertly canalizes a large portion of the music through the synthesizer. Todd only plays guitar, taking a respite from his usual tendency to play any and everything in sight. The Runt's guitar playing has always been good, and here, the kid outshines even himself, proving he is one of the fastest and imaginative guitarists in the west. It's all there and more in Todd Rundgren’s Utopia. Open your ears, see the light and realize heaven in your body. — The New Riders of the Purple Sage Brujo (Columbia) The New Riders' latest effort, Brujo, flows from beginning to end. It's typical Riders, the whining vocals backed by sweet soaring harmonies, all put to a giddy-up rhythm, the type of sound that has branded the Riders since the days when they were "the group that's always playing before the Dead." There is one change, though, and that is the addition of Skip Batton on bass. Skip, a one time member of the now defunct Byrds, penned four of the album's eleven tunes. The best of them is "On the Amazon," a song which is a far call from the usual Rider endeavor and a rather welcome exception to the album. It features Skip's low, gruffy, lead vocal and the "Sirenian" sound of the Clamourine Society of Marin providing the mysterious backing vocals. The song follows a very droll and hazy pattern with assorted instruments scattered here and there for a hard to describe effect that captivates me more and more everytime I hear it. The other Batton numbers, "Big Wheels" and "Singing Cowboy" are a fine blend of "Byrd-styled" songs, played in the New Riders tradition. Then there's the remaining songs, those written by John Dawson or chosen by the group from among the overabundance of country/western tunes, but before I ponder on them, I'd like to bring up a complaint from many of those voyeurs who consider themselves "music experts." A great many people seem to feel that everything the Riders play comes out sounding the same. Most New Rider tunes do have a familiar ring to them (as is the case with "Ashes of Love" and "Workingman's Women" on this present album), but who cares just as long as you enjoy it? After all, a whole generation got off on the same three chords during the fifties. The only difference in the songs seemed to be the words and slight changes in tempo. But back to the matter at hand. Just about every song has its own special flavor. They do a wonderful job on Bob Dylan's "You Angel You," adding some of their best vocal work to an already fine, easy flowing melody. The always smooth and swift pedal steel work of Buddy Cage is highlighted on "Crooked Judge." So much for forced analysis, because every time I listen to Brujo a different song sticks in my head. There is one thing that does seem the same no matter how much I hear the album, and that is simply that I enjoy it. Why shouldn't I? It's good easy listening, nice and simple. It might not be the New Riders at their best but it has caught them in a complete album that will enlighten anyone with the slightest taste for good old "one on the range rock and -Howie Spierer roll." However there are a few obscuro bands with the guts to keep with it. Such a group is Greenslade. They never seem to give up. Every time you look, they have a new album. It's not that they have so many, just that you don't that often. Greenslade is not your usual run of tue mill obscuro. Following the concept of cloud rock, they spice up their packages with some jazz, blues, and even folk influences. Such effects, evident on their last album, were quite good. A graphic cover of a green sorcerer upon a mystic background was rather enticing, and the album itself was well produced and performed. But now it seems they have decided to cut loose. Mixing their style and personnel to move with the times, Greenslade should have just added saltpeeter to their instruments. They really put out a dud. Spyglass Guest is blase. There is no way to get around it. Any goofball with an ounce of brains would say it reeks. First of all, the cover is just there. Certainly album covers don't have to be centerfolds of Playboy to catch your attention but this one takes free expression too far. Also the group decided to expand their talents by adding a new member. Fine. However, with mellotrons, ARP synthesizers, guitars and drums you don't need a violin sticking out like a sore thumb. It's like having the N.Y. Dolls sing Mother Goose rhymes. A real wipe out. Originality is not even theirs. This album has a distinct resemblance to their last one both in format and music. The basic themes of some of the cuts are similar and a number of the riffs sound familiar. Most of the songs even follow the same basic outline. They set off to a good start with a nice melody, slack off at the stretch, then simply poop out the endings. "Joie de Vivre'' is a soft melodic number with an intermittent mellotron and tubular bells to set the mood. Although soundling like church music, it appears to hold promise. At first you think perhaps the whole album will be as nice. Watch out, you're in for a surprise. The moving melodic flow of this cut moves right out of your heart as all the musicians join in doing the number round style (i.e., "Row, Row, Row Your Boat?). Anybody wanna do a circle jerk? It just doesn't cut it. The remainder of this platter of iniquity is hog-wash. "Melancholic Race" is an electronic jazz number that would make Chick Corea hide his face. Want a cross between Genesis and Brian Ferry? Listen to "Little Red Fry-Up." As if that combo isn't bad enough, the chorus is actually Gregorian Chant in disguise. Oh chestnuts! Actually the only cut with any redeeming qualities is "Spirit Of The Dance," a cute little electric-orchestral lick. But I wouldn't advise the album for only one song. So if you got a dollar-five-eight to blow, save it for a rainy day. This isn't a shower, —Sue Was it's a deluge Firesign Theater The Firesign Theatre sez; “Everything You Know Is Wrong" (Columbia) Those of you who were disappointed with the last two Firesign Theatre albums (and their various solo efforts) will be delighted by this one, as it is probably their best to date. Those of you who have never heard any of their albums had better listen to this one, because you are missing out on something that is even funnier than the Grateful Dead. The works of the Firesign Theatre defy classifications Messrs.

They rise up from nowhere, usually making a lot of noise, and once again descend into the bottomless pit of oblivion. dismisses these as "comedy albums" is they can be best described as wrong existing on many levels at books," "spoken once, not just comedy. It is this complexity which separates the Firesigns from such "comedy artists" as Oieech and Chong who are, in reality, not funny at all. This also makes their albums hard for some people to get into, as one must listen closely to what is going on in order to fully appreciate them. Every word of a Firesign Theatre album is significant in one way or I find myself, even after another listening to their albums many times, still picking up hilarious innuendos and puns that I hadn't noticed before. This is what makes their albums stand up to repeated play, unlike those of the aforementioned "comedians," which cease to be amusing after the first or second listening. The narrator of this album is a Dr. "Happy" Harry Cox, who introduces it as "another in a series of my mind-breaking records, 'Men Never Lived On Earth' something akin to the books of Erik von Daniken, only in recorded form. Cox has everything we know is wrong, and proof there are aliens living among us even now! Cox has a number of recorded and filmed accounts to illustrate his theory, and the resultant chaos is incredible. The plot is more intricate than any previous Firesign album, with dozens of seemingly unrelated facts, events and names all falling together (in more ways than one) at the end. Several current events and people in the news are satirized, ("I was right about the comet!'' says Cox) most of them brilliantly. After we hear a classroom film that proves conclusively that our American Forefathers took drugs, Cox plays a "very rare" wire recording of an old-time medicine show which sounds like something right out of one of Carlos Castaneda's books. After drinking a potion, two people are transformed into large silver crows, and are told by the mysterious Don Brujaha that they must follow the Snake River to where it is swallowed by the sea. "And they looked in a direction they had never looked before, and they saw a city of gold and amber and crystal in the sky at the bottom of the sea." This is the first hint as to how the record ends, as well as the first reference to the most poignant satire here, that of Evel Kneivel and his "motorcycle jump" over the Snake River Canyon. In this version of reality, a big comet has hit the Earth outside of Curio, Arizona and dug a hole all the way to its center. A local newsman interviews "daredemon" Rebus Kneebus, who is going to jump into the hole: "This is Pat Hat, and I'm here in the desert with Rebus Kneebus, here where tomorrow, over 210 fine million Americans will turn their 420 million blue eyes on this man, and it's got to be a fake." "No, this is no fake, Pat, I'm gonna fall into the biggest goddam hole anybody's - - — — ever seen." The second side opens with a recording of real Gas Music from Jupiter (which Cox exposes as a fake) and the plot thickens with an excerpt from "The Golden Hind," a perverted version of "Journey to Adventure." Buzz and Bunny Crumhunger (Cox's neighbors) explain how they were changed into aliens, much to everyone's amazement. Just before the big jump, we receive another psychic message from Nino "Today let's get into holes, the most — mysterious, importantest, and vaguest subject of them all . . Any further attempt at explaining this record would be futile, as it must be heard about ten times to be fully misunderstood, and I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise ending. So, if you didn't know that dogs flew spaceships, that the sun is at the of the Earth, or that men and women are the same sex, you'd better get your brain is it right away and find out no longer the boss.

Publinher»-H»ll Syndicate Libertarian viewpoint To the Editor. I just don’t understate why you waste so much space on Democrats and Republicans, on the professional blah-blah-blah of politicians concerned with nothing so much as getting into and holding office. We all know what they have to say They’ve been saying the same things, on and off, for years. Look, I’m writing with the polls about to close, so 1 know it’s too late, but I’m really disappointed. Believe it or not, until Monday’s edition I was hoping (no, expecting ) you’d devote at least one article a piece to the smaller parties, particularly the to those few candidates, I mean, Free Libertarians who are saying something remarkably different and much better. Wilson and Carey, for instance, double talk ad nauseam, and the monster media, and-now you, eat it up and regurgitate it, undigested, all over the place. (E.g., “Mr. Wilson has said he has no immediate plans to raise tuition at state universities and colleges, but he has not ruled out the possibility of a tuition hike sometime in the future,” The Spectrum, Nov. 4.) It is boring. Many of us are tired of especially at this University, I think that sort of thing, breakfast, lunck, and supper. (1 wonder why the candidates don’t seem as tired of dishing it out?) Jerry Then something different comes along Tuccille, who’s admittedly not a professional politician (at least he’s not a politician), and the Free Libertarian Party, who admit to using his candidacy “as a vehicle . . not to capture the governor’s mansion but rather as a serious and feasible attempt to establish a recognized and viable political and you ignore them. (They aimed for instition” at least 50,000 voted for governor, the number a party must receive in order to entitle it to a permanent place on the ballot). As 1 said, we’ve all heard quite enough from Democrats and Republicans. Now listen, for example, to the opening words of the Free Libertarian position paper on “Crimes Without Victims,” and regret (vainly, alsa, as it is too late) that you didn’t take the opportunity to print, and thereby give members of the University community an opportunity to consider and act upon, them: “The proper purpose of laws is to prevent individuals from using force or fraud to injure each other. No actions taken with the consent of all parties concerned should be illegal. Therefore, we support the immediate abolition of all laws which that is, all laws create ‘crimes without victims’ which prevent individuals (or groups of individuals) from doing what they choose with themselves. Among such laws we include: laws against the sale, possession, or use of narcotics and other ‘dangerous drugs’; laws against gambling, prostition, abortion and pornography; laws regulating the sale, advertisement, or use of contraceptives; ‘blue laws which, for religious or other reasons, regulate hours of business; laws making particular voluntary sex acts illegal; and laws permitting involuntary commitment of those judged insane, but not convicted of any illegal act.” On second thought, I suppose, your regrets needn’t be in vain. Hopefully, there will be other election campaigns in which the Free Libertarian Party participates, during which you can afford them rights leader are assassinated in a few years. You have to kill somebody prominent.” Last week a Louis Harris poll showed that among the humble people of Harlem, N.Y., the thing that worries them most is not inflation, not unemployment, not drugs nor housing: it is crime; 51 percent of the total report that: the next highest anxiety is housing, 31 TRB percent. When President Kennedy is shot you get a commission on violence; after the commission’s great social document is filed and forgotten urban crime goes on much as before. Nobody greatly bothers, we are used to it. The U.S. with 200 million people averages 50 times as many gun murders a year as do England, Germany and Japan combined, with their total population of around 200 million. Crime is now spreading into the suburbs and the subjects may rouse interest again. Eisenhower recalls that our rate of violent crime is five times that of Canada per person, 30 times that of Great Britain and 90 times that of the Netherlands. - - - — . ... — _ — a reasonably fair hearing. Burton I. Weiss Program in American Studies from Washington November 15, 1974 The and growing is more Unemployment unemployment always means more crime. Six percent are out of work, with twice as many blacks as whites, and the figure will probably reach seven percent before long. Crime will tag along. One of the most astonishing changes in the United States in the past half century is the spread of city fear. I think it is what our ancestors, if they returned, would mark most in America after they got over their shock at technological change. “You mean the streets aren’t safe?’’ they would ask. I would be hard to explain that to Benjamin Franklin. It isn’t so bad in other democracies. Back from Europe, a friend told of asking the London hotel clerk if it was safe to “explore” after dark? The clerk’s puzzled look followed him out of the hotel. “Safe?” he repeated. “Safe?” Police don’t wear guns in London. The other day some European graduate students anserwed a New York Times editorial that decried conditions abroad. Well, they responded, “Our streets are safe at night. Your civilization has made it impossible to go for a walk at night in your cities.” In June, 1968, Lyndon Johnson set up a 13-member Commission on Violence and made 91 Milton Eisenhower its head. It reported recommendations to Richard Nixon in July, 1969, Time passed and there was no comment from Nixon. “The House was absolutely silent regarding our commission’s study and recommendations,” says Milton Eisenhower sadly in a new book. The President is Calling. “Evidently our report, like many others, had been filed and forgotten.” You can see how this was, of course: Nixon was elected in 1968 partly because he promised to solve the crime problem, and re-elected in 1972 partly because he said he had solved it. A little embarassing to have a blue-ribbon commission report that crime wasn’t solved and wouldn’t be solved easily! “Violent crime has increased about 100 percent in the past 10 years,” Eisenhower now reports. While the commission was starting its research in the presidential election of 1968, Attorney General John Mitchell kept telling the nation that poverty is “not a cause of Crime.” Eisenhower says this irritated him because his commission was coming to just the opposite conclusion. It is true, they unanimously reported, that the nation should launch an all-out attack on the faltering system of criminal justice but it was just as important to cure the root causes of crime in the social structure. Day-to-day crime doesn’t bother the nation much, Eisenhower indicates. What stirs the country is when “a President, a senator, and a great civil most sympathetic European coming to the Unites States cannot understand one thing, try as he will: why do we allow free access to hand guns? There are 30 million lethal handguns loose in the United States, Eisenhower recalls. He says he was perplexed by the “blind, emotional resistance” to any effort to curb the senseless excess of handguns. When he urged control “vitriolic mail poured into my office, nearly all of it instigated by form letters and cards distributed nationally by the rich and politically powerful National Rifle Association.” Yet every poll taken on the subject over a 10-year period, he notes, favors the kind of control that the Commission recommended. can’t Eisenhower understand it. May 1 make a modest suggestion? 1 think the gun is a sex symbol of male chauvinism. The gun shows masculine superiority, makes even the weakest equal to the stongest. It flatters the ego of men who have nothing else to be vain about. Someday Women’s Lib will discover this and picket the National Rifle Association. It is high time for some new Carry Nations of gun control. But guns alone don’t cause crime; they escalate the its violence. Crime has complex causes Commision decided. There has been, for example, a vast urbanization in America with a new criminal subculture in ghetto slums. Crime is not due to race, they say, but to poverty and environment.

Radio /hack - - �College education Legal Dope Aiding lower-income students by Pete C. Califano Legal Aid Clinic For those of you who are having a difficult time deciding whether to enter law school or not, you should possibly consider the alternative of becoming a paraprofessional (also called legal technician, legal service assistant, or paralegal worker). A paraprofessional is somewhat a cross between a legal secretary and a lawyer. As paraprofessionals increase in numbers, their impact on the legal profession might be manifested in the form of decreased legal costs. By saving the lawyer’s time and energy, her exorbitant fees might become more reasonable in lieu of the average American income. Despite the restrictions levied on laymen advocacy in the courtroom through legislation and ABA (American Bar Ass.) interests, there are still situations where the paraprofessional may represent clients in court. Usually, paraprofessionals would be limited to quasi-judicial representation. This would include such things as administrative hearings, fair hearings for welfare applicants, workmen compensation hearings, tenant review boards and rent control boards. Presently, the people involved in such situations have little or no legal counsel. Paraprofessionals could fill the gap. In the law office, paraprofessionals could be involved in interviewing clients, handling cases under lawyer supervision, do preliminary drafting and also be involved in collecting evidance for pending cases. Outside the law office the paraprofessional would be cast in his most dynamic and important role: his contact with the community. Because of differences in class background, the lawyer-client relationship is somewhat limited, sometimes to just to the facts of the case. The paraprofessional could possibly help to bridge this gap. He can help raise the consciousness of both lawyer and client, and thus facilitate understanding and appreciation for each other. Also, paraprofessionals could organize the community on issues that effect them personally, for instance, organizing tenant unions. Finally, the paraprofessional can go beyond the realm of the case and help clients with personal problems, such as finding a job or slaying out of police hands. Overall, the paraprofessional, if given the opportunity, would serve the total needs of a client. Paraprofessional programs are somewhat scarce throughout the country and therefore information is hard to get. For those interested in further information, 1 would check out such places as community colleges, extension programs at universities, law school programs or paralegal institutes. An example of such a program exists at Antioch law school in Washington, D.C. Paraprofessional candidates attend a 14-18 month program where they have many common classes with law students. Eligibility is extended to candidates without college experience although it is a strong asset in the application process. by Ed Ciancone Staff Writer Spectrum Twelve Educational Opportunity Centers designed to aid disadvantaged and handicapped students will open this month in areas of low-income families. The centers will help an estimated 240,000 students in developing or carrying out plans for education beyond the high school level. Colleges and other institutions of higher learning have been and still are for the most part geared to middle and upper class students, according to a spokesman from the New York City center. Gifted students from lower and working class backgrounds often do not have the opportunities and educational preparedness of more affluent students, he said. The Centers will provide personal counseling and admissions assistance to those individuals interested in enrolling the post-secondary institutions or programs. They will also provide assistance to students already attending colleges or vocational-technical schools. Pioneer effort Grants totalling $3 million were awarded on a comi petitive basis by the Federal Office of Education to initiate and support these programs during their first year of operation. Communities were involved with planning the programs and campaigning for the needed federal funds, which will pay up to 75 percent of the authroized cost of operation. And communities will continue to be involved in maintaining the centers’ operations. Site selections were made from proposals submitted by eligible state agencies, other public and private agencies, and both public and private twoand four-year colleges and universities. Eighty-seven such institutions will participate in the centers’ activities in their respective regions. New York City’s center, for instance, will receive $300,000 in federal funds and will be located at the City University of New York and Research Foundation CUNY. The Educational Opportunity Centers were authorized by the 1972 amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965. The other centers are located in Huntsville, Ala.; Los Angeles; Denver; Washington, D.C.; St. Louis; Boston; Hudson County, N.J.; Espanada, New Mexico; Dayton; Dallas; and Tacoma. Six of these are located in urban areas, two in areas with both urban and rural characteristics, and two each in primarily rural and metropolitan areas. Bacardi light rum for what?

Also returning from last year is “Scramblin’’ Ed Hamilton, well remembered by Buffalo crowds for his pinning ability and nonconformist moves. The class of 1973 offers Ted Lawson, Roy j their bicycles once again, and ride down the other side of the hill.

Athletic budget freeze vetoed No changes by Bruce Engel contracts that resulted from these Sports Editor changes. Executive vice-president Scott Salimando and treasurer Sal Napoli plan to fulfill the first requirement by informing the Assembly that $87,000.00 of a total of $260,000.00 budget has actually been spent. They determined this figure after consultations with the Athletic Department last week. However, Mr. Salimando reported at the Executive Committee meeting Monday that there were two thick books of contracts for upcoming events and it would take weeks to estimate the total cost. But in most cases, he noted, the contracts do not involve specific dollar amounts but merely commit a team to being in a certain place at a certain time for an event. This entails costs for transportation, food and lodging SA President Frank Jackalone vetoed Monday the Student Assembly’s resolution to freeze the intercollegiate athletic budget. “I find it necessary to send back to the Student Assembly this piece of legislation passed by that body for repassage,” Mr. Jackalone read from a written statement at a meeting of the SA Executive Committee Monday night. The SA President is granted this form of veto power by the Student Association bylaws. He may force the Assembly to take a second vote on legislation at the first meeting following its passage. The Assembly passed the freeze legislation last Wednesday, and it went into effect immediately, with the exception of last weekend’s intercollegiate events. This meant that the first “frozen” event was to have been last night’s Women’s Varsity Volleyball game at Brockport. Jackalone’s action Mr. effectively voids the freeze, pending a revote at today’s Assembly meeting. Budgetary breakdown The freeze resolution called for a complete breakdown of all contracts signed by the Athletic Department. Specifically, it mandated an investigation by the Executive Committee of the legality of both the budgetary changes made by the Athletic Department and all the signed The SpECTI\UM Vol. 25, No. 35 State University of New York at Buffalo Wednesday, 13 November 1974 cannot be Mr. Napoli raised a technical point in reference to the Assembly’s request that the legality of departmental changes in the budgets be investigated. “There weren’t any changes. There can’t be until I approve them and I didn’t sign anything,” he asserted. The Athletic Department had merely suggested revisions but the original Executive Committee budget was still in effect, Mr. Napoli claimed. In announcing that he would send the legislation back to the Assembly, Mr. Jackalone told the Executive Committee that he was concerned with the effect the freeze would have on both the competitors and spectators who participate in athletics. “These students would have suffered unnecessarily,” Mr. Jackalone said. He also stated that the Assembly’s resolution was phrased as a request for information, and was not based on a lack of cooperation by the Athletic Department. “This was the first time that the Assembly had asked for that information,” he said. An abrupt freeze will put Student Association on shaky legal ground and leave them vulnerable to law suits, Mr. Jackalone said. “If we are going to be involved in a lawsuit then let it be SA who is doing the suing,” he asserted. Mr. Jackalone was also worried that the Administration has the power to veto any student government action, in relation to the freeze. In this case, the Athletic Department might see fit to shut down intramurals as well, he said. “This was not a matter of backing down in the face of administration threats ... The situation was such that the Assembly’s demands could be met without a dramatic confrontation and without the subsequent harm to the students involved,” Mr. Jackalone continued. Furthermore, the Assembly’s action was inconsistent with that body’s backing of a previous Executive Committee resolution to freeze intercollegiate athletics by November 11 if certain conditions were not met, the SA President maintained. That was averted by possibility with the negotitations week, last (see story Department on page 3) Last week’s freeze was a “sign of confusion, not firmness,” Mr. Jackalone said. “On the one hand, allow the Athletic Department over two weeks to correct a blatant disregard of SA policy, but on the other hand, give the department no time to forward information.” Executive Committee to supportfour-course load by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor The Student Association (SA) Executive Committee denouncing intimidation of the University by budgetary forces in Albany unanimously passed a resolution Monday night defending the University’s four course-four credit system. — — “It is the inalienable right of the faculty, students and Administration to determine the specific academic policies of SUNY at Buffalo,” the resolution stated. Budgeting, the motion emphasized, should not be a “major criteria” for developing academic policies. The Executive Committee’s action came less than one week after a special subcommittee of the Faculty-Student Executive Committee recommended that the four course load be re-evaluated. That recommendation was, in effect, a response to the Administration’s repeated claims that the State Division of the Budget looks at the University’s budget skeptically because of its policy of granting four credits for three hours of course work. The SA proposal refuted suggestions made last week by some faculty to add an extra class hour to courses meeting three hours per week, or reduce four credit courses to three credits, which would result in a five-course load. These changes would create a “dangerously inflexible and rigid systenr,” the resoltukm stated, and would bring undergraduate course demands to “crisis proportions,” by putting further stress on the University’s inadequate''' facilities. The Executive Committee also feels any change would result “scheduling and advisement problems' all undergraduate students SA President Frank Jackalone told The Spectrum Monday that he would send a letter to the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee today outlining arguments for retaining the four credit system. He said the letter would reaffirm the philosophy of the four course load as developed in the late 1960’s and explain to the University community the disadvantages of increasing the number of faculty contact or class hours per course. Mark Humm, SA Academic Affairs coordinator, said the University must convince Albany of the soundness of its academic policies. The University should use only an “academic measure” to formulate credit policies, Mr. Humm emphasized. However, he stated that “if we can’t convince them, we should accept the consequences” of possible budgetary sanctions. Mr. Jackalone’s letter specifically attacks the concept of increasing faculty contact hours, which he feels will result in student having less time for independent course work and fewer opportunities for social, cultural and recreational activities. Enormous effect This would have its most profound influence on those students who must work to support their education, he said. “The effect would be enormous.” Increasing contact hours or the number of required courses would also cause a decline in enrollment, the SA President —York claimed, because many students would be forces to quit school or take classes part-time Mr. Jackalone said any change from a four-course-four credit system would set into motion a chain of events, beginning with lower admission standards. This would be followed by a decline in full-time equivalent students (calculated by the number of enrolled credits), and, as a consequence, a decrease in the number of faculty positions. Mr. Jackalone foresees “enormous” scheduling conflicts should the University opt for an alternative system requiring increased time in the classroom. Any arrangement that increases contact hours would place a burden on University students already commuting between the Main Street, Amherst and Ridge Lea campuses. “If the amount of commuting is increased, bussing, parking, and maintainance would all have to increase,” Mr. Jackalone said. Shift Discussing the proposal made last week by a member of the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee to decrease three hour courses to three credits, Mr. Jackalone said it would immediately increase class sizes without changing the number of faculty. Under a five course-three credit system, the number of courses a student needs to graduate would also be increased, primarily in elective credit, he explained. “This will mean a shift from a career-oriented education to a more general orientation.” With a system where one credit hour is granted for every class hour, natural science courses, with their corresponding laboratory sections, would be assigned more credits than non-science courses. Mr. Jackalone decribed this as the “economics” of credits, explaining that science courses would increase in popularity and cause more overcrowding. The Executive Committee resolution recognized that some flexibility in credit-granting might be advantageous. Mr. Humm said individual departments should be allowed to offer a five-credit course to “supplement” a three credit course. In any event, the faculty might be opposed to any proposal that would increase the number of teaching hours, Mr. Jackalone remarked. He siad the United Univcrty Professional (UUP) might argue that the increased teaching time violates the union’s contract. The amount of course work covered in a hour hour course, he added, would probably be identical to its three hour predecessor. �Watered down texts do mean watered down students? Contributing Editor A new generation of college students who cannot read at traditional college levels is forcing many textbook publishers to print books in a simplified and “watered down” style. Many publishers, in the $392 million college textbook industry report that two-year community colleges and even four-year institutions are complaining that books are too difficult for students to understand. Many educators feel today’s children, raised on visual media like television and movies, simply do not have enough exposure to written communication to develop the skills necessary for success in College. Reports of “functional illiterates” who enter college with above average verbal expression skills but can only read and write at a sixth grade level are not uncommon. Publishers attribute the need for simplified texts to the rapidly expanding Community College enrollment which this year exceeds 3,000,000 students. A spokesman for McGraw Hill, one of the largest college text publishing companies, said many students in community colleges today “just would not have been in college at all 20 years ago. They are “C” students in high school who didn’t go to college before but they’re there now.” Preparation Herbert J. Addison, chief editor of John Wiley and Sons, another major New York publishing house, said that while students at Harvard and Yale read as well as before, “community colleges do report a decrease in reading level ability, particularly open admissions colleges.” The situation may not be as critical at this University, but it still exists, Charles Ebert, Dean of undergraduate studies. feels that many students are underprepared in certain areas. “In general sense,” he said, “most students have difficulty in vocabulary and writing skills. A well educated foreign student is often better in these areas than an American student.” Dr. Ebert also feels the blame lies with today’s high schools which put too much emphasis on memorization and don’t spend enough time developing the students’ expression skills. However, he said that if watered down connotes clearer texts, it was a good trend. “Many books are becoming so technical and mathematical that they are accessible only to a very few people in the field,” Dr. Ebert maintained. Because there is a much greater variety of texts available, there is more competition among authors, he explained. Many are, therefore, writing in a style that is more readable instead of merely relying on content to sell their books. “Faculty shy away from narrow technical writings to books that offer a wider range to encourage reading,” he said. Oversimplified Norman Solkoff, assistant chairman of the Psychiatry Department, also feels that many textbooks are inadequate and oversimplified. Many are simplified to the extent of distortion and give a lot of misinformation. Dr. Solkoff said. Many of the introductory texts for lower level courses, he said, were written for students with poor reading skills. While he feels this is due to lowered admission standards. Dr, Solkoff thinks it is a favorable trend because “everyone is entitled to as much education as possible,” Textbooks "are either written in a very poor dry style or in a gimmicky way which over simplifies,” he emphasized. “Increased competition has lead to more stylish and creative writing but they still leave a lot to be desired in terms of information content.” The only way to get current, accurate information was for the instructor to be knowledgable enough in the field to correct mistakes in texts and to assign research papers for updated information, Dr. Solkoff added. Readability formulas Many publishers are using “readability formulas” that carefully guide word length and sentence structure to keep the textbooks simple and readable. The companies are also more careful in editing of the books, using headings, summaries, and carefully drawn formats to make the text Kent State acquittal decided Eight .former Ohio National Guardsmen, accused of violating the rights of students at Kent State during the May J 970 demonstrations in which four students were killed and nine wounded, were acquitted Saturday in US. District Court in Cleveland. The trial, unusually brief, began Oct. 29. In handing down his statement, Judge Frank J. Battisti declared that the prosecutors had not proved “beyond a reasonable doubt” that the guardsmen willfully deprived the students of their civil rights. Judge Battisti further stated in his opinion that “it is vital that state and National Guard officials not In response to Judge Battisti's question concerning what had been specifically proven. Mr. Murphy replied, "We have shown that the shootings were unjustified; that there was no danger posed to the guardsmen’s lives.” Insufficient Judge Battisti countered in his opinion, prepared soon after the defense requested a motion for dismissal on the grounds of insufficient evidence, that “there is no evidence from which the jury could conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants acted with premeditation, prior consultation with each other, or any actively formulated intention to punish or otherwise deprive any students of their constitutional rights.” While conceding that the government had shown that the Guard had used “excessive and unjustified" force in firing without orders to do so, the judge said the Guard had not deprived\ the students of their constitutional rights under Sections 8 and 242 of Title 18 of the United States Code. Reactions The judge’s decision was welcomed by the former guardsmen. “I’m on cloud nine,” said indicted guardsmen Lawrence Shafer. Paul Mack, one of the jurors who voted for acquittal, told another guardsman, James McGee, “I’m so glad that it turned out this way for you. —Allen regard this decision as authorizing or approving the use of force against demonstrators, whatever the occasion of the issue involved. Such and was, deplorable.” Evidence shown use of force is, Now you can go back to a normal life.” Parents of the slain students, however, felt that justice had not been served. Arthur Krause, whose daughter Allison was slain on the Ohio campus, said, “I still want the truth out, and it didn’t come here.” It may come next spring, however, because parents of the injured and slain students have filed a $20-million civil suit against the National Guard and former high ranking state officials, including James A. Rhodes, the recently re-elected governor who commented that “justice had prevailed” at Saturday’s trial. In Washington, D.C., J. Stanley Pottinger, assistant Attorney General in charge of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, said in a prepared statement; “We felt that the case should have been decided by the jury instead of the judge. With that ruling we are disappointed. But we are not In presenting its case the prosecution called 33 witnesses and displayed 130 exhibits, many of which included photographs of the fatal May 4, J970 demonstration at Kent State.

Another solution to the reading problem is to set up remedial English programs to help students strengthen their skills in weak areas. The Learning Center at this University offers courses in reading, writing, math, oral communications, and study skills, to help students to improve their present levels. Walter Kunz, Associate Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education, feels it is more important fora college to offer remedial programs, rather than lowering standards to allow everyone to pass. He views the trend towards lowering grading standards and degree requirements as a disservice to the student. “If a student can’t think critically and creatively the degree is useless,” he said. “It’s up to the college to correct any deficiencies. High Schools don’t claim to produce educated people, but colleges do,” Dr. Kunz said. ONCE AGAIN We have Another: - I by Don Eisenmann Student Assembly Budgetary meeting,] TODAY 4:00 pm Haas Lounge All undergrads should attend. �• by John A. Fink Spectrum Staff Writer A list of recommendations designed to ease the problems of foreign students here and to unify their leadership was released in a report recently submitted to President Robert Ketter. The report seeks to provide solutions to a wide array of difficulties confronting foreign students ranging from a lack of communication and coordination among the offices which control foreign student affairs, to the future of international education at the University. The Committee on Foreign Students and International Education a group of foreign student and Administration representatives established last May to identify problems facing foreign students and provide solutions devised the report. Since this University has the largest foreign student constituency within the SUNY system (approximately 1400 students at both graduate and undergraduate levels), the report argues that the University possesses a great yet poorly understood resource in its foreign students, who lack an authoritive voice in decisions that involve them. - — Tuition problems Tuition waiver money for foreign students was recently cut to $335,000 (a 50 percent reduction) and permission for foreign students to work during the summer vacation was restricted. These actions have resulted in a mood of anxiety among foreign students. One of the issues discussed is the misunderstanding that foreign students are “displacing worthy state students.” The report criticizes reasons like “humanistic internationalism,” usually used to justify the admission of foreign students. Instead, the Committee recommends that the University prepare a public statement which supports foreign student admission and international education. * Needed leadership Another criticism concerns the lack of coordination and leadership among the offices charged with the foreign student welfare. Raj Ticku, .international coordinator of the Graduate Student Association and a committee members, suggested that the offices were under the direction of too many different faculties. He also pointed to a “carefree” attitude toward the foreign students’ needs. University-wide recognition of foreign students is an importaht goal of the committee’s work, Mr. Ticku asserted. “We’re (foreign students) the largest minority group on campus,” he said. The report further charges that the Office of Foreign Student Affairs (OFSA) often misplaces its priorities. It advises a thorough evaluaiton of the OFSA services, with considerable input from foreign students. It says that too much emphasis was put on the handling of financial aid matters while the OFSA’s role of advising and counseling students was neglected. The report urges the OFSA to take a more active advocacy position on behalf of foreign students. Many foreign students feel there is an unfair allocation of financial aid, according to the report. It calls for the reassignment of that function to the Office of Financial Aid. Also mentioned were plans for generating scholarship money from the Buffalo community. A need for a continuing orientation program was also stressed. Mr. Tichu indicated that the “culture shock” many students experience when they arrive at the University could be remedied if increased interaction between foreign students were encouraged. Other areas specified in the report include policies concerning tuition waivers and sponsored fellowships; legal rights for foreign students; and employement services. Similar objectives Remarks made by Homer Higbee, Assistant Dean of International Studies and Programs at Michigan State University, were also included in the report. Dr. Higbee visited this University last July at the invitation of the Committee to provide an objective comment on the situation. Dr. Higbee's observations were as follows: -Greater communication between foreign student offices and the University was needed. -Incorporation of the Foreign Student English Language Program into an academic unit of the University. Much of the Committee’s efforts were aimed at modeling the foreign student program after those responses to the report from several areas of the University. When asked why it took so long to undertake a project like this. Mr. Ticku remarked that many foreign students were afraid of speaking up before. But, he said, that has changed.

Their preferences were the growth and development of students; academic and intellectual experiences; service to society and the community; and vocational note: This■ is the second two-part series on the academic, social and cultural a changes students have undergone since the "sixties. ” by Dene Dube Feature Editor Students are spending their time and money in different areas than did their sixties predecessors. “Many students find volunteer work a substitute for easy credit,” said Milton Plesur, professor of history and former dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education. He listed “jobs, grades and grad schools” as three of the eternal concerns among students. Coping with academic preparation. In contrast, a recent study of student concerns, reported in the NASPA Journal (published for the Student Personnel Administrators’ Organization), revealed that job placement is the basic worry among students today; with academic achievement; social regulations; campus living styles; curricular decision-making; and sexual freedom following, in that order. Helping the community The movement was clearly towards the community in 1970, when students demonstrated in support of the striking production and maintenance workers at the Nuclear Fuels Service, Inc. plant in West Valley, N.Y. Students have since learned that they must confront the working man “in Lackawanna,” on his own turf, instead of shouting slogans from the day of the the “romantic revolution” “storm the Bastille” ideology, added Norton Hall director Jim Gruber, Previous to former University president Martin Meyerson’s resignation in 1970, the State University at Buffalo was often referred to as the “Berkeley of the East.” Since then, though, “radical students have become more conservative, and conservative students have bbcome more moderate,” said Dr. Gruber. Describing the sixties as the “era of tension,” Dr. Gruber believes communication has since improved. “Students are more courteous and more receptive to other students with different views, and to the general University community,” he said. — High grade work While a recent Newsweek article indicated a “grade inflation” on campuses. Dr. Plesur believes that students are better awareness has increased greatly over the past four years. in art history, economics and political science has risen, while pre-med and pre-law programs are booming, with enormous increases in the number of applications to professional schools. magazines. Students The “extra-curricular” activities students engage in today also reflect a change of interests. Billiards and table tennis have grown in popularity more Subscriptions to the Times through the University Bookstore have doubled, along with an increase in sales of popular news are also more realistic about what they want and expect out of life, taking a pragmatic rather than a philosophical approach, according to Dr. Gruber. Choices of majors incidate this change. While many students still major in the social sciences and the humanities (which even in 1970 made students worry about their job options), they are now supplementing their intellectual pursuits with the double major, to assure themselves a prepared and brighter today. “They are budgeting their time better as they are approaching according director of Placement Center. order,” he said.

He also pointed to a growth in the popularity of chess. In addition, more students are attending movies on campus than ever before, and more movies than ever are being shown. Compared to three UUAB movies per week four years ago, the Union Board now sponsors five nights of movies a week, and has added midnight shows on weekends —continued on page 14— The rape problem remains critical in Buffalo by Margaret Dickie Spectrum Staff Writer students’ hitchhiking near Norton Hall. There have been reports this year of sexual abuse at the University at MacDonald Hall, the Health Science Library, and the Ellicott Complex in addition to several complaints of exhibitionism, frequently occuring in libraries and on the front lawn of Hayes Hall. Again, the incidence of sexual abuse and exhibitionism is also assumed to be higher than the number actually reported. Paul Orsi, Campus Security investigator, encourages victims to report rapes immediately, not only to facilitate the gathering of evidence, but also because any delay may be detrimental to possible prosecution. Presently, rape victims can receive counseling on campus at Michael Hall, at the University Counseling Service at Harriman Library, and at Sunshine House. Sunshine House also offers to pick up the rape victim by car at the scene of the crime and bring her to campus. — While in the literal sense rape is a physical assault, the effects-of such a crime on the victim extend considerably further than does mere bodily violation. Months and even years after such an assault has been committed, many rape victims must contend with lingering guilt and emotional damage. > Too many victims would rather not report the assault at all, than prolong the ordeal by facing the embarrassing questions of lawyers and-physicians. In fact, many feel they have again been “victimized,” this time by police examiners who often insist on detailed accounts and even suspect the victim of having provoked the rapist. The Federal Bureau of Investigation asserts that rapes and sexual assaults are the least reported of all crimes, projecting that 80 percent remain undetected by the proper authorities. Besides, the conviction rate of rape suspects is only one half of one percent. Although there has been some increase recently in the number of reported rapes, still fear, shame, and the feeling that rape laws are ineffective have deterred victims from going to the police. Unreported rapes Only two rapes have been reported to Campus Security at the State University at Buffalo in the past four years, possibly because most victims would rather contact the Buffalo or Amherst police, or outside counseling agencies. Kathy Carter, a Campus Security Officer, feels that Campus Security is “very well equipped” to handle rape cases. There are five female officers on the force, with at least one on duty at all times, she noted. Campus Security has discovered from outside agencies that many of the campus-related rapes have resulted from — Central bureau The Task Force suggested as well the establishment of a Central Sex Offense Investigation and Analysis Bureau, More Compassionate and recommended that more policewomen be assigned to The number of recorded rapes has risen 24 percent in rape investigations.

In May, the Task Force presented to the County Legislature and Mr. Regan 46 recommendations for the handling, combatting, and prevention of rape cases. “Recommendations for Medical Services include prompt, sensitive medical care for all victims, development of a model for gathering and preserving of evidence, and development of a special program for sexually abused children,'’ the report stated. Also included was a recommendation for the development of a 24-hour counseling service, which would encourage referrals from police agencies and hospitals, and a call for special counseling services for children and adolescents. The services would require the training of volunteers and professionals to work with the victims. — — �Yearbook Buffalonian is alive. living in Norton 302 Contrary to popular belief, the Buffalonian, the State University at Buffalo yearbook, does exist, and will be published by the end of the academic year. “It’s hard to get the message across that there is a stable foundation” on which to base a yearbook, said Clem Colucci, Editor-in-Chief of the —Jansen Clem Colucci Buffalonian. “Outside of putting out a ’75 yearbook, we’re trying to restore its credibility,” which has dwindled in the past few years, he explained. Mr. Colucci is uncertain why people think the Buffalonian’s quality has declined. He described the 1972 yearbook as “decent,” unlike the small, 1 973 edition. Buffalonian paved recovery simply by “disaster” the ’73 out to be, he said. soft-covered The 1974 the way for not being the book turned Quality yearbook Mr. Colucci feels it is indeed possible to produce a good ’75 Buffalonian. If this year’s book is of good quality, next year’s staff will have “two solid years of performance behind them” and may “start worrying about expanding instead of just surviving,” he maintained. The 1975 book has, admittedly, gotten off to a late start. Mr. Coined describes it as being “in more or less a state of limbo.’’ The necessary “administrative hack work” is out of the way, though, and the “yearbook itself’ is ready to be worked on, he said. Presently, the entire staff of the Buffalonian consists of Mr, Colucci and Steve York, “photography editor by default, because he takes pictures and I don’t,” the Editor-in-chief said. There will be a meeting Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. in 302 Norton Hall for all those interested in working on the Buffalonian.

Almost 40,000 people were unemployed in the Buffalo metropolitan area in September 1974. This represents an unadjusted unemployment rate of 7.4 percent locally, substantially higher than the national 5.8 percent average. The 4.1 layoffs per 100 employees in the Buffalo area during July 1974 “appear to be pretty high,” a Bureau of Labor statistician noted. The unemployment rate for Buffalo in 1973 was seven percent for all whites and approximately 5.3 percent for all whites over 20 years of age, indicating a high rate of unemployment for minorities and people under 20. A spokesman for the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce explained that many business leaders are taking a “wait and see” attitude, largely because the traditional economic indicators are apparently not The according He pointed to the “contradiction” of farmers killing calves while other people starve. He feels the upcoming Christmas buying season will be an important indicator of the economic future. Winter is a generally slow business season, especially in the automobile industry, he said. Economics “is very much in the eye of the beholder how it affects you,” the spokesman said. An individual's reaction to the present situation is greatly influenced by whether he is employed and secure in his job. - upon He believes the impending coal strike may have very significant effect both on the national and local economy by affecting the railroads, the steel companies, and the power industry. Niagara Mohawk, the local electric utility, uses coal to generate electricity. Furthermore, he contended, the eventual wage settlement may lead to further inflation. The spokesman explained that the government had predicted an inflation rate of six to seven percent in January, but that the rate has swollen to about 12 percent for the year. The Chamber is considering an Economic Outlook Conference in January. 10% DISCOUNT Joe Newton, of the Regional United Auto Workers (UAW), said there have been layoffs in all local General Motors plants and at the Ford stamping plant. “For those guys, it’s a full-blown presentation of I.D. card on men's hairpieces.

The auto industry is a crucial economic indicator because of its role in a chain reaction involving the steel, glass and rubber industries, he added. Mr. Newton mentioned that a GM assembly plant in Tarrytown, N.Y., which was producing 800 cars per day, recently laid off one whole shift 2000 people. He explained that the smaller cars “just aren’t moving” and called management’s attitude one of “doom and gloom.” — Pretty good news The UAW spokesman believes that the Western New York area is “holding up pretty well” because the assembly plants are hit first and, locally, GM and Ford have only parts production facilities. However, as layoffs increase in the assembly plants, unemployment will rise locally as the need for parts decreases. A spokesman for General Motors stated that in the past two weeks, there have been a total of 766 “indefinite furloughs” in the Lockport, Tonawanda and Buffalo plants. Those who were laid off were seniority employees, who are eligible for benefits of up to 95 percent of their regular take-home pay. A representative of the United Steelworkers described the local situation in the area as “not too bad,” and blamed the recent layoff of 100 workers in the strip-mill division of Bethlehem Steel on cutbacks in the auto industry. Unemployment figures Unemployment in the nation reached 6 percent in October, the highest level in almost three years. The jobless rate rose among males aged 25 to 54, who are the major breadwinners for their families. The consumer price index in Buffalo was 151.9 in September, the same as the U.S. city average. Commerce Department figures indicate. The index, which measures average changes in the prices of goods and services usually bought by urban wage earners was, however, 12.1 percent higher than a year before. The indices for food, non-food commodities and service rose during September, while gasoline prices declined for the second straight month. The economic confusion and uncertainty was best summed up by a spokesman for the city’s Chamber of Commerce, who said that despite the shortcomings of the economy, the Buffalo Bills still sell out all of their games in 80,000-seat Rich Stadium.

Learning by the hour? This is written on either Sunday or Monday for a Wednesday appearance. This should be remembered when reading the following, albeit it may be no longer accurate by the time that you read this. Monday was a day that seemed unable to make up its mind about what the season was, or what time of day it was, or anything else. It was warm and overcast. The warmth of the day which 1 finally made it strange to rake leaves consented to do for a while. My suspicion is that I avoided doing it as long as possible as a denial that winter is coming, but the problem became glaring enough to do something about it. Being outside raking leaves in the middle of a stand of leafless trees without a coat on stirred up all sorts of confusions. Things are obviously how come it feels dying | lip like spring? The trees are sitting there naked, when by the feel of the day they should have that pale green tinge that signals the wj beginning of the beginning. The clouds kept drifting by in such a way ty steese that knowing exactly where the sun was at any particular moment was very difficult. Diffused light of gold and orange kept poking its head out from different corners of the sky, keeping my usually reasonably accurate time sense wacked out. One consistent thing anyway. I put the bird seed out when I began to rake, and they clearly had some feelings about that sequence of events. It was very apparent that they prefer not to sit there and look at food when they have to be nervous about me puttering around the yard. Too it doesn’t seem to bother the damn bad damned squirrels at all, they just sneak around in back of me and swipe sunflower seeds. Such feelings are grounded in reality, or so my attempts to understand the world insist. It is not necessary to look terribly far to find the basis for my feeling in limbo. I am waiting to find out who is going to get a job I applied for, myself or one of the other folks. There is no clear evidence one way or the other about what is going to happen. A conclusion you may well believe I reached only after microscopicly examining every possible piece of information which might bear on the subject. Since I already work at the same place in a slightly different capacity there is a fair amount of information which 1 glean. This is done probably to keep me busy. If you spend all your time trying to decipher how people are looking at you, or what that last comment might possibly have meant, you have considerably less time to just sit there and quiver. Who’s anxious? It is a wierd place to be. If you can back out of it far enough to take a seat in the bleachers somewhere in the back of your head it resembles - — As changes in the four course-four credit system continue to be contemplated during the next few weeks, the Faculty-Senate and Administration should carefully weigh some of the SA Executive Committee's arguments in defense of the four course load. Until recently, administrators and faculty who favor a change in the system of credit-granting argued that "reduced" faculty workloads have short-changed the University's request for resources from SUNV Central Administrations, or that "depriving" a student of one hour of faculty-student contact makes him lose a major part of his education. Unfortunately, such analyses have tended to simplify the enormous dimensions any change in the system of allocating credits would have. As SA President Frank Jackalone is expected to point out today in a letter to the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee, an increase in faculty-student contact hours, aside from exaggerating the importance of time spent in the classroom, would discriminate against students who must work to support their education. Many would be forced to quit school or take classes part time. Even those students who do not have to work would have less time for independent study and fewer opportunities to engage in social, cultural and recreational activities. The already-overcrowded shuttle bus system between campuses could become even further paralyzed if time in the classroom is increased, and the resultant scheduling problems might be "enormous," as Mr. Jackalone has pointed out. Furthermore, the University could conceivably defeat its own purpose of securing more resources and faculty lines if the dislocations resulting from a hew credit-granting system cause enrollments to decline. Aside from these considerations, the whole notion of equating credits with contact hours completely ignores the educational value of the four-course load values which were investigated and presented when the ‘decision to change from the five to the four course system was made in the Fall of 1968. That decision signaled a growing awareness that contact hours do not equal learning, that learning cannot be legislated, and that students can learn a great deal if they are given the opportunity to explore their interests outside the confines of a classroom's four walls. Even if the State Bureau of the Budget were to follow through on its threat to cut the University's resources, the overwhelming practical and educational advantages of the four course load should convince the Administration to accept the consequences of — possible budgetary sanctions. Before the University gets further sucked in by regression administrators, faculty and students should take a moment to look back on the Fall of 1968, when every segment of the University instead of being interested in education only as it directly benefits the University was involved in academic decision-making and committed to needed educational innovations. In doing so, it might be helpful to consider some cogent remarks by members of the University community at the time of the change to the four-course load; — some sort of sporting event. The optimists and the pessimists are out there toiling up and down the field, nobody scoring anything, playing blindly on into the future. The game can’t be football because it moves faster than that, more like hockey or soccer flowing back and forth and sometimes getting stuck in the middle for prolonged periods of time. Even when my awareness is focused somewhere else, at least as far as I can tell, the game must be going on. 1 suddenly find myself trying to make up my mind what to do in case of one thing or the other. What to do about this if I get it, what to say to that person if I don’t. It is somewhat spooky to suddenly run across another pocket of feelings when you thought you had them all contained. You are trying to deal with something which appears completely unrelated and lo and behold, you are suddenly back at that game again. I am not legendary for my capacity to deal with anxiety. My tendency is to avoid circumstances in which I am aware of feeling anxious with great industry. In this my success is adequate, but hardly sensational. Reality problems intrude in the process with disgusting frequency. My comfort and confidence in my own ability to drive a car are more than adequate. There are those who will argue that they are based less on reality than on madness, but poo!, let’m walk. Such feelings have absolutely nothing to do with the reality of trying to watch the other idiots.Drive defensively is a motto that makes a great deal of sense to me, but how have you stayed alive this long if you haven’t been? When it comes to areas in which I am not so comfortable or confident, things get even stickier. . . not surprisingly. Such as my ability to get close to people. Simplistically, there are two classes of people in the world those with whom your needs are balanced, and those with whom they are not. The latter class subdivides into those who want you to be different, and those you want to be different. The first class does not seem to give me anywhere near the difficulty that the second class does. Them are the folks that are usually beating me up for not being able to get close to them in the first instance, or being someone they are into avoiding in the second case. Since the size of the first class is much much smaller than the size of the second class, my relationships with the world are largely _ - — anxiety provoking. My viewpoint is that it matters considerably less whether you are able to get rid of the anxiety than that you are able to cope with it and keep going. My discriminations about what successful coping is are sometimes questioned, but what the hell, I made it this far more or less intact. And will make it out of the current wierdness. Hope the weather is still good. Play in it. Take care.

We are in a period of pop apoclypses. Lifeboat Earth is rocking, and taking on water. Films and novels reflect it killer sharks and crippled planes are the mythic equivalent for our dwindling supplies and our desperate spasms of demand. It is perhaps too easy to cry wolf in these circumstances; but Robert Heilbroner’s book shocks by its refusal to emote, exhort, or lament. It is a brief, cool, reasoned study called “An Inquiry into the Human Prospect,” and it is having a profound impact. It has sold largely in universities. It is the subject of 80,000 paperbacks already specially-called conferences and seminars and lectures. Since Heilbroner is a respected economist, 1 asked him if he went to President Ford’s economic summit. “No, 1 wasn’t invited. And I wouldn’t have gone if I had been. What I have to say would not have been seriously considered there.” Heilbroner considers the summit an not an education on our real needs, but an exercise in self-deception attempt to dither and fudge them out of sight. And this is odd; because the reception of his book proves that people do sense bad trouble ahead, and are willing to give it calm study beforehand. They may even brace themselves, as Heilbroner has, to the need for social controls of a son that Americans have traditionally hated. Some reviewers of the “Inquiry” have written as if Heilbroner were advocating authoritarianism out of a love for controls in themselves. That drastically twists the message of the book. What he says is that we are entering a need economy, and typical situations of that sort always have led to rationing, a strict count of resources, and harsh restraint on the squandering of those resources. People on a lifeboat or in a beseiged city have to know who is drinking how much water, and why. Even a libertarian hero like the capitalist Captain Eddie Rickenbacker became a “statist” and dictator when he was stuck on a lifeboat with too many survivors and too little food. What Heilbroner secs as mankind’s prospect is a condition of emergency prolonged and normalized. If that occurs, then the restrictions will be imposed most likely in panic, belatedly, erratically, as Nixon put on and lifted Phase Two controls in spasms. There will be old fundamentalist right-wing talk of dictatorship. (It is “statist” for us to know how Rockefeller money controls the economy, but not for that money to do the controlling.) Heilbroner’s economic thesis is much like the historical school that saw a closing of the frontier early in this century. America’s speculative economy worked almost miraculously in the nineteenth century because its task was a simple one of expansion. We had 2 continent to exploit and obtain, and we virtually exploded across it in the years between the Civil War and the turning of this century. In such a context, wild speculation paid off more than it cost, even in human terms. Conspicuous consumption was a kind of unwitting shrewdness of investment. The more players the merrier when the game was always to get, to gain, to risk. Now we live in a world where keeping has become a greater imperative than getting. What does it matter who gets the oil or the food when the real point is that there is not enough of it to go around? We cannot encourage squandering; we must encourage conservation in the broadest sense. We must ration ourselves before we run out of continent, and of globe, for the exploiting. That will involve a basic revision of our whole outlook, our myths and symbols as well as our economy and politics. It may mean the belated education of Americans into the harsh realities of history. Counting on doom has never been a foolish trait in men, though we have treated it as somehow un-American. - - - 'I'M WITH YOU ...

Now, Mr. Salimando says that the Assembly must “decide to support the budget that the Executive Committee submitted” and he has the nerve to say it in a crude, insulting article.

All what exists is a collection of parts wealth (taxes), and some symptomatic treatments of the system itself (welfare, unemployment, food stamps, etc, . .). But the concept of “collective wealth” certainly exists in a socialist system, and undoubtedly is one of its basic features. As for Day Care Center, it is one of these symptomatic treatments. I heard some people complaining about it in the same way Mr. Burgess is; “They do not have the right to someone else’s money.” But again a controversy manifests itself in the whole argument: it is a capitalist system but in the same time it is a democracy; did we forget about that? How do you solve this seemingly unproblematic fact, but in reality full of controversies?

Khater Wednesday, 13 November 1974 The Spectrum £age seven . . �Wrestling Bulls Grappler goal: national place winner by Lynn Everard Spectrum Staff Writer “Last year’s team was the best I ever coached,” says Buffalo wrestling coach Ed Michael, looking back on his squad’s 22-1 record of behind him, and Michael now finds himself without six starters and several top substitutes from last year, leaving this year’s edition of the wrestling Bulls with some prominent holes to fill. “The degree to which we are successful in filling these gaps will determine to a large extent our success or failure,” Michael said. People like former co-captains Bill Jacoutot and Jerry Nowakowski, as well as the super exciting Ed Hamilton, may be sorely missed this year. Though the Bulls have always had excellent dual meet records (55-4-1) over the last three years), national place winner has always eluded them. “Our main goal this season is to have national place winners,” Michael said. a year ago. But that great year is Place winners? This year’s squad is well suited to produce that national place winner when the National Championships roll around next March. Last year’s stars, Jim Young and Charlie Wright, are back for their final year anyone from Buffalo had ever gone before. This season Charlie should see a lot of dual meet action as a heavyweight rather than at his tournament weight of 190 lbs., but he can also beat the bigger guys consistently. Wright thrilled the crowds many times last year with his exciting go-for-broke style, featuring many judo-type throws and muscleman moves. Wrestle-offs have just begun, and at this time a definite lineup has not been determined. But most of the weights have only one or two leading contenders. The rundown Sophomore Ron Langdon is back at 118 and seems to be a cut above the rest. “He has the will to win and can push himself in a match situation,” Coach Michael said. “Ron has the potential to be great at his weight.” The 126-pound berth is left wide open by the departure of Bill Jacoutot, who held it down for two years while compiling Buffalo’s best career record for dual meet wins. Ray Pfieffer, Rich Ruth and Greg Jones are all in contention. Young, last year’s MVP, returns at 134. Jim has only recently joined the squad because of his commitment to the soccer team. He will need some time to get adjusted, but should be ready for the first match Tom Lloyd-Jones may come into his own this year at 142 lbs. Jones won his weight at the New York State Freestyle championships a few weeks ago and was named the outstanding wrestler in that tournament. third in the state high The 150-lb. class sees Kirk Anderson school tournament last year at 134 with the inside track. But he’ll get fierce competition from sophomore Bob Martineck, who was impressive in limited action last season. - Overload The Bulls will have two of their better athletes in the 158-lb. class Davis and Bruce Hadsell. Hadsell had the best season any freshman has ever had for Buffalo last year. He used his long arms and legs resourcefully and was able to pin many of his opponents. It will be interesting to see if his success can continue after moving up two weight classes. “Bruce is still filling out, and we can’t be sure how it will affect him,” said Michael. Paul Grandits is another possibility in the 158-lb. category. Warren Rogers and Erik Drasgow are the frontrunners in a wide open battle at 167. Drasgow may go up to 177, but there he would face stiffer competition from last year’s 167-pounder, Jim Lamb, and from Emad Faddoul, who started at 177 last year. Faddoul is a step above everyone else in this range and might even move up to 190 if the lineup has to be juggled. He was a standout at times last season and now needs only consistency to be a great wrestler. — of competition, and both would have to be rated among the nation’s best at their respective weights. Young set several Buffalo records including an incredible 21 dual meet wins - in last year’s campaign. Jim recorded eight pins and defeated many tough wrestlers. He qualified for the Nationals by finishing second in the regionals to an eventual National place winner, Don Rohn of Clarion State, then lost in the second round of the championships to another place winner, Mark Belknap of William and - Mary. Charlie Wright made it to the national quarterfinals, farther than Wally Wright and friends Freshman Bill Bartosh and sophomore Ted Kucharski will keep Charlie Wright company in the 190 and heavyweight ranges. Michael expects a lot of shuffling here, with only Wright seeing action all the time. Mammoth heavyweight Pat Russi has decided not to come out for the team this year. Pat’s long history of injuries made it difficult for him to prepare himself for a match. It is unlikely, even if he were to wrestle, that he could go the full season without hurting himself again. Inflation seems to have reduced the schedule, although fortunately most of the lost opponents are poor teams. Notable additions this year are Kentucky, with Olympian Jimmy Carr and a rapidly improving Binghamton team.

As significant as this move is, it may be even more important for what it doesn’t do. It leaves out two of Buffalo’s biggest sports due to hockey and wrestling the fact that our conference mates do not compete in these activities. Hockey is by far the University’s most popular sport and wrestling has been its most successful over the past few years. This is not to say that hockey, under fifth-year coach Ed Wright, has not been successful or that wrestling, under fifth-year Coach Ed Michael, has not been popular. Both programs rank high in both categories. Perhaps the most telling tribute to hockey was evidenced last week, when the Student Assembly (SA) voted to freeze the budget immediately.

To make the season successful, we’d have to have either an ECAC or CCHA (Central Collegiate Hockey Association) bid.” The Bulls’ strong point this year, as it was last season, is offense. They led the East in scoring with an even 200 goals last year, and may top that this year. Returning to. lead the goal-scoring charge is senior right-wing Mike Klym. “Mike has proven he’s very capable of putting the puck in the net,” observed Wright. “For us to be successful, he has to be a team leader in both hustle and production. From what I’ve seen in the preseason, he’s in better shape than before any of the three seasons he’s been here.” - —Center Pro prospect Klym, Buffalo’s career goal scoring leader with 78, is considered a bonafide pro prospect by many observers, including Wright. “He’s got good size, speed and he shoots the puck well,” the coach commented. The team’s other senior and co-captain is center Doug Bowman who went to high school with Klym in Leamington, Ontario. “Doug is a team leader,” observed Wright. “He’s highly respected by the players.” Bowman hasn’t scored many goals while he’s been at Buffalo, but Wright feels there’s a good reason for that. “He’s one of the best defensive forwards in the East,” said Wright. “His goal scoring hasn’t been what it might have been before, but that should improve this year.” Joining Bowman on what may turn out to be the team’s top line are sophomores Jack Kaminska and Mike Dixon, both local products (from Canisius and Kenmore East, respectively). Klym will skate with Bill Busch and Rick Wolstenholme, who was the third leading scorer for the Bulls last year, behind Klym and John Stranges. The other lines have Jeff Pearce centering for Mike Caruana and Chris Bonn, followed by Ron Maracle between Chuck Davies and Tom Haywood. All but Maracle are local products, a result of Wright’s heavy recruiting in the Buffalo area the last well,” said Wright. “They’ve matured to the point where they’ll do a good defensive job against good two years. “We’re going to remain with these combinations unless we find some players aren’t opposition.” getting the job done,” the coach promised.

Despite two superstars, Jim Young and Charlie Wright, and two future superstars, sophomores Ron Langdon and Bruce Hadsell, the team is weaker than it has been in a few years. It seems the days of the junior college transfers who built Buffalo into a national top 20 team for the past three years are over. Coach Michael is now recruiting from high schools almost exclusively, but for the most part not attracting the really good wrestlers. This year, the gaping holes in the lineup could mark the beginning of a gradual decline in the quality of the program. Down but not out However, Michael has made wrestling successful and popular here, and this popularity should continue. If it doesn’t, there may be problems, particularly if the conference really catches on. But don’t let the chance of lessened success fool you. While the Bulls won’t be a national power anymore, it appears likely that they will always be among the best in the state, if not the East. Right now there are only a few teams in New York that can even challenge Buffalo, and it should be a while before the Bulls sink to these others’ level. But even then, wrestling will still be one of Buffalo’s higher quality Wrestling Schedule November: 16 Alumni; 23 at East Stroudsburg Open December: 4 Colgate at Erie Community North; 7 at Bowling Green with Western Ontario; 12 Lock Haven; 20-21 at Midlands Tournament; 26-28 at Wilkes and C.W.

Mr. Weisman had correctly evaluated that although his case was strong, his credibility was slipping. The mess thickened when CPS learned that not only was Mr. Weismann paying for the Freedom Committee releases, but he was also writing them. “Essentially A1 Weisman is the Freedom Committee,” said one of the committee’s student members. “He just calls us up and tells us when he’s going to send out another release.” The media � Advertising agencies vying for big college newspaper markets by Neil Klotz Special to the Spectrum (CPS) The National Educational Advertising service (NBAS) and the College Advertising Sales Service (CASS) are currently at war over a clause in the NBAS contract which gives it the exclusive right to represent college papers for the solicitation and placement of national advertising. This so-called “exclusivity clause” has been used by NBAS both to insure its ad sales and to discourage competition, competition which is now synonymous with CASS, the largest and best organized threat it has ever faced. Last April, CASS took NBAS to court to force it to abide by federal anti-trust laws. Rut in a confusing legal opinion, the U.S. District Court in Chicago ruled that NBAS did not have to abide by anti-trust legislation because college papers per se did not constitute a “relevant market.” Relevance In other words, said the court, college papers are only including radio, television one part of the total media and magazines to which college students are exposed. NEAS did not have a monopoly on this total market and that was all that was “relevant.” CASS appealed but the case has not yet reached court. Following the decision, NEAS told college papers the court had ruled that they must abide by the exclusivity clause. NEAS also began deducting commissions on advertisements placed in papers by other national — - advertising representatives by withholding money it owed on NEAS-placed ad insertions. In addition, it threatened to terminate papers that would not drop other reps and refused to renegotiate with papers that wanted to delete the exclusivity clause from their contracts. Journalism Association of recommended that its 70 member papers cancel their contracts with NBAS if exclusivity remained non-negotiable. And the ad managers of the Minnesota Daily and the Kentucky Kernel toured the country during the summer drumming up anti-exclusivity feelings in the name of the Freedom Committee, an ad hoc group billing itself as “your peers at major college newspapers throughout the country.” In late August 100 other college papers (including the In Standoff As the Associated College Press (ACP) annual conference in Hollywood, Blorida began, it became apparent that although there would be fireworks in the fabled NEAS-CASS panel discussion, college papers were sufficiently divided on the issue to allow NBAS to maintain its hardline stance. For one thing the credibility of the Freedom Committee had been injured by the disclosure that much of its printing and travel costs had been paid by CASS, as well as New School and Freelance two smaller national financial difficulties The academic clubs at this University are facing financial problems.

Although the clubs are funded by SA, their financial difficulties have resulted from sponsoring more events and activites, and recruiting more memebrs. Joining the Student Assembly would give clubs a greater chance of geting increased funding, said Scott Salimando, Executive vice-president of SA. Lynn Konovitz, President of the History club, said that closer relationship with SA “couldn’t hurt,” but feels that academic clubs inevitably rank low among SA priorities. “What do we go to school for, and what is the University for?” asked Mr. Konovitz, indicating that the anser is “academic.” The purpose of the clubs isnot purely social, he added, emphasizing the importance of academically-oriented activities. Stressing the need for an increased budget, Mr. Konovitz described the high cost of course descriptions, symposiums, films, career days. Beg for funds The Nursing club has plans for purchasing reading and study materials and organizing a reading lounge for members, but club President Karen Kotlik said that present funds are insufficient. The History club could not even afford a newsletter for its members, added Mr. Konovitz. It has reached a point where club officers feel they must “beg for funds,” he said, adding that the History club was only given $190, or half of last year’s budget. Unless more money is appropriated, Mr. Konovitz forsees many clubs being forced to “fold up.” Jackie Cresswell, treasurer of the Nursing club, would like to see the “small minority” responsible for controlling SA rutvoted by a greater and tighter organization of the academic c ubs. But, Ms. Cresswell said, academic club representatives have lost the desire to attend Assembly meetings because they have become “very disillusioned.” Ms. Cresswell agrees with SA Academic Affairs Coordinator Mark Humm that club members must be active if they want “more of a budgetary impact. Students don’t realize they can have an academic voice, she added. . The Spectrum Wednesday, 13 November 1974 . the 70 in the JACC) joined the Kernel and the Daily and announced they would terminate their contracts with NBAS in 12 months (NBAS contracts also require a 12-month termination notice), unless the company deleted the exclusivity clause and stopped deducting commissions for non NBAS ads. In addition, the Kernel filed a separate suit against NBAS charging that the company had legally forfeited and waived the exclusivity clause by failing to enforce it for eight years. NBAS held firm, claiming that exclusivity gave it “the boldness to plan for the future” and that deducting for ads it didn’t actually place was an “accepted practice” in the industry. But it promised to reimburse papers for commissions already deducted if they would only abide by exclusivity. Academic clubs face Page ten California, Community Colleges (JACC) - Legal action Mr. Weisman said CASS only provided the information and the printing and mailing costs, but that the releases were “approved and mailed out” by the Freedom Committee. The question becomes more significant considering that one of the Freedom Committee’s requests is that member papers pledge $100 for anti-NEAS legal action. Recently, a good deal of information about NEASS operations has been revealed including: — States At a 1970 conference of the now-defunct United Student Press Association (USSPA), NEAS agreed not to enforce its exclusivity clause, according to Paul Ideker, then USSPA business manager in charge. In 1971 the Justice Department initiated an anti-trust investigation of NEAS, but according to Ralph McCareins of the department’s Chicago branch, it agreed to drop the case after NEAS submitted a contract with the exclusivity clause omitted. Although he had previously denied that such a deal was made, Mr. Hanson admitted that this had happened when faced with McCareins’s - statement. 1973, NBAS sent a letter to its papers “free to take advertising from sources other than NBAS.” But in September 1973 it wrote back threatening to terminate papers if they did not - In April stating that they were abide by the exclusivity clause. Most ACP business managers said that their ad revenue from NBAS had fallen over the last few years. If NBAS could not put more than its present six salesmen on the national college advertising scene, it didn’t deserve exclusivity, some argued. But many feared that if they quit NBAS the company would strangle them with even fewer ads over the required 12-month period before termination took effect. - Black Student Union BLACK HOMECOMING: PHASE II presents / THE ISLEY BROTHERS/ Barkays Blue Magic November 22, ’74 Memorial Auditorium 8:00 pm. • Tickets $5, $6, $7 For information call 831-2830 SA PARTY Saturday, Nov. 16th 10:00 pm Student Club - Ellicott FREE ADMISSION FREE BEER Live Music • Mixed Drinks Sponsored by Student Activities �Rats Half-way house now home for the elderly rP -]"HE September Residential flavor some type of halfway house and drug rehabilitation center was to be established at the Hertel Ave. site surfaced early in August. When neighborhood residents were unable to obtain even the “flimsiest” of information, they contacted Councilman Masiello and University District Councilman William A. Price, who discovered that Transitional Services, Inc., a Buffalo-based, non-profit organization operating several halfway institutions which accommodate mentally disturbed patients, planned to place up to 18 mentally disturbed residents at the site. As a result of community unrest and City Council disapproval, Transitional Services agreed to cancel its plans. However, Erie County is stepping in to insure that the building will not remain “It is unfortunate that the whole process started in the first place,” Councilman Masiello added. “But at least now, the quiet residential flavor of the neighborhood will be maintained.” Transitional Services Director Richard Orndoff had no comment when contacted by The Spectrum.

The promises to install a red lighting system, stock additional brands of beer, and provide advertising, were broken by Food Service, said Mr. Phillips. Consequently, there was an immediate drop in business, and Food Service began losing money. Band and ticket-taker salaries exceeded admission sales at the door. Buffalo State College has a Pub similar to the one in the Rathskellar. “However, unlike UB, they are successful because they have had the close cooperation of their Food Service organizations,” Mr. Phillips said. “We are now aiming to secure written cooperation from Food Service,” he added. “Only then can we consider reopening the Pub on Main Campus, and possibly maintaining a similar set-up on the Amherst Campus.” SA club listings RETREAT IK The Rathskellar Pub, a weekend evening spot for drink and music, has been temporarily disbanded. Anthony M. Masiello, North District City Councilman, has announced that he has worked out a compromise with the directors of the Iromisitional Services, who were to open the psychiatric halfway house at 1935 Hertel Ave. “Instead of the questionable use as a halfway house, which met with much controversy in the neighborhood last month, the facility will now be strictly senior citizen housing,” the Councilman explained at a meeting of the Hertel North Lions Club. Tenants will be placed at the facility through the Erie County Office of the Aging. Transitional Services, which would have housed mentally and emotionally disturbed persons in the building, will not now do so. “In view of the nature of the neighborhood, this should be an ideal situation,” Mr. Masiello said.

Rubin Staff Writer Spectrum The Hockey Bulls opened their 1974-75 season with two high-scoring wins as they bombed Kent State, 9-2, and defeated Elmira, 9-5 last weekend. Both games were maired by penalties and shoddy defense on both sides, but in the final analysis, Buffalo’s high flying forwards proved to be the difference. After a five-hour bus trip to Kent State on Friday, the Bulls virtually stepped off the bus and onto the ice. Not surprisingly, they looked flat and just barely escaped the first period on the short end of a 1-0 score. In the second session, however, Buffalo turned everything around. They started skating, passing and more important, they started putting the puck in the net. Sophomore Jack Kaminska scored twice with help from linemates Doug Bowman and Mike Dixon, who also scored once himself, while the Bulls exploded for five goals and held the Clippers scoreless during the second period. The onslaught continued right into the third period as the Bulls rattled off four more goals, after an elbowing penalty to Tom Haywood set up Kent State’s second tally. Kaminska’s hat Kaminska, who had one of the third period goals, scored the first Buffalo hat trick of the year. In fact, it was a good night for his entire line as winger Dixon had two assists and center Bowman had three. Bowman also excelled as a penalty killer for a large part of the Bulls’ 29 penalty minutes. Goaltender John Moore played well despite the fact that his defense was consistently being caught up ice. The Bulls came home to a screaming throng of nearly 2000 supporters at Holiday Twin Rinks on Saturday night, and responded by scoring 6 goals in the opening period. Coach Ed Wright observed, “That was the best period of hockey any team of mine has ever played.” Star winger Mike Klym recorded his first goal of the season after only 11 seconds of play, and the Bulls added two more in the next minute and half. However, the exhausting bus rides and the furious pace of the first period were too much for Buffalo. After Dixon opened the second period with a quick goal, a series of bad penalties and sloppy defense opened the door for Elmira. The Soaring Eagles walked right in, scoring three goals in a row. Klym stopped the Elmira charge with his third goal of the night midway through the final period, Statistics box November 8 At Kent Slate Buffalo 0 5 4 9 Kent St. 10 1 2 Scoring: First Period: Buller, (KS) (Blnnle, Wolfe).

Bowman’s line was impressive again, scoring four goals, but on this night the trio of Bill Busch, Rick Wolstenholme and Klym were equally brilliant. However, the defense did not play very well. “Our defense is thinking too offensively. They have to start concentrating on stopping the other team from scoring. We have high-scoring forwards to worry about our offense,” Wright noted. Buffalo will be trying for its third straight win when the Bulls and Kent State play tonight at 7;30 p.m. at Holiday Twin Rinks. SELF PSYCHOTHERAPY — — — (B) (Kaminska, Perry).

However, Doug had an even bigger contribution to the first two wins serving as a very successful penalty killer in games that had a disproportionate number of penalties.

Students are also more interested in owning a bicycle as a mode of transportation that is far more economical than a car, said Mr. Louis.

The emphasis in the food co-op is on organic foods, geared to the vegetarian diet. Students also seem to be interested in exotic foods and imported wines.

The Library, a restaurant, was taken over two years ago by the Turgeon Brothers, who awn several other restaurants in rthe Buffalo area. Its menu were designed to meet the “exotic” food demands of students, according to Frank Turgeon. Additions to the menu since the restaurant opened include spinach salad, omelettes, and more spices. In Sign of the Steer, another Turgeon Brothers restaurant, snacks and soups like cream of mushroom, clam chowder and lentile have been added to the menu. Mr. Turgeon has never seen anything like this “soup craze,” he said. The opening of the Greenfield Street Restaurant last year suggests that the vegetarian diet is still popular as well.

Either you liked hard rock, or you listened solely to soft and country rock. San Francisco groups, like the Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane, were the hot stars, but LA Rock, headed by Crosby Stills and Nash, was also popular with students. The folk music scene was lead by such names as Tom Paxton. Phil Ochs and Tom Rush. “Now people are listening to Deep Purple, the Dead, and ‘glitter rock.’ like the New York Dolls” all at once, said Mr. Scheidlinger. “While everyone is listening to ja/z now, they were hardly aware it was alive then,” he added. The distribution of sales at the Record Runner in University Plaza is indicative of this trend. Students were buying either straight rock or folk music four years ago. according to the store s manager. Much mure jazz and classical records are now sold to students. Despite the higher list prices of records a jump from $4.98 to $5.98, and S6.98 to $7.98 student purchasing power has not diminished.

He stressed the importance of setting up models of violent behavior to generate meaningful predictions of who will be violent under certain cricumstances. The speech, part of the ongoing series of Life Workshops, delved into the questions of whether it is possible to predict violent behavior from statistics; and whether social setting is directly responsible for violent acts. No answers are yet available. Dr. Solkoff cautioned, but several theories have been proposed. Causes of violence Dr. Solkoff stressed that little is known about statistically predicting violent behavior, and that many people operate under fallacious assumptions about violence. To illustrate his point, he mentioned the ideas Lyndon Johnson outlined for a Presidential Commission on Violence to explore. Mr. Johnson wanted to know if the structure of society cuased violence; if permissiveness increased it; how individual acts of vioolence are related to mass public disorder; and why people reject peaceful means for effecting change in favor of violent ones. Mr. Johnson also asked what steps could be taken to eiminate violence. No answers to these questions are currently available, Dr. Solkoff said, but two major theories have been advanced. The Ethnological Theory, whose major proponents include Conrad Lorenz and Sigmund Freud, states that “man is inherently violent and aggression is normal,” Dr. Solkoff said. One strong point supporting this theory is that man is the only vertebrate species besides some rodents that habitually kills members of its own species. Dr. Solkoff believes, though, that the Environmental theory, the other major idea, better explains the causes of violence. Frustration Solkoffs lecture described instigating violence, such frustration as “the blocking goal,” or “the presence of stimulation.” noxious, uncomfortable Frustration can be caused in two ways, indicated Dr. Solkoff, either from an “actual physical barrier interposed between the individual and the goal,” or from inner frustration, emanating from a person’s own feelings of inadequacy. Inner frustration may result in feelings of anxiety or impotence, he said. A person afflicted with “absolute frustration” knows he will never be able to reach his goal, the possible outcomes being apathy, resignation or despair. More dangerous than this, though, said Dr. Solkoff, is “relative frustration,” better known as the “revolution of rising expectations.” The bulk of Dr. factors involved in frustration. He defined of obtaining a desired Other factors Two related factors necessary to incite violence, added Dr. Solkoff. These are cues or “triggering mechanisms,” and models for aggression. “People may need stimuli in order to be violent,” said Dr. Solkoff. These stimuli are cues for violent behavior. For example, police in uniform during a demonstration can spark a riot, he said. Discussing models for aggression. Dr. Solkoff said he has found that “people are more aggressive when they have a model to imitate.” and that “children will earn an aggressive response through modeling and then exhibit it in response to a cue.” This is an important aspect of modeling, in relation to children’s learning aggressive responses from violent TV programs, he said. He also cited a surprising study of such responses, which indicated that while the least aggressive children turn more aggressive when exposed to TV violence, children with a greater aggressive tendency become less so through a process of’catharsis.’ “You may discover that violence is actually rewarded, and this will increase the probability of violent behavior,” Dr. Solkoff noted. War or physically attacking someone may be rewarded, with desired results, thereby encouraging the use of coercive force, he said. Little proof the personality of a potentially violent person. Dr. Solkoff said that there isn’t enough documentation yet to prove what type of person is most likely to display aggressive tendencies. Examples of people who seem to show violent behavior more often than others, he claimed, are paranoids, people with double Y-chromosomes, and and people with abnormal electroencephalograms Discussing (EEC’s). However, he later explained that at lease in the instance of double Y-chromosome abnormalities, those persons with an extra X-chromosome tend to display similar violent behavior. Also, many of the studies have been done on prison populations, which do not represent a random sample of the whole population, resulting in inconclusive data. After examining frustration, cues, models, and it is nonetheless impossible to predict if an incidence of violence will ooccur, he said. He continued, however, to stress that there is an urgent need to discover a method of predicting violence in order to resolve the related issues of who will be put away in a mental institution or who will be subject to legal preventive detention (for example, denial of bail). One type of violence, “random explosive violence,” cannot be predicted, claimed Dr. Solkoff. Random explosive violence is spontaneous and can be directed either intropunitively (within yourself), resulting in suicide, or extropunitively, the outlet being homicide. An interesting cross-cultural fact is that societies with low homocide rates tend to have high suicide rates, and vice versa. “Pusposeful violence,” or, in other words, premeditated violenced, is what Dr. Solkoff hopes to be able to predict. “But for now,” he said, “the best predicter of criminal behavior is previous criminal behaviour.” Page two The Spectrum . Monday, 11 November 1974 . A Western New York Public Interest Research Group (WNYPIRG) task force will conduct a survey to determine if dormitory residents on the Amherst Campus feel they are being overcharged for telephone service. The present telephone system in the dormitories allows unlimited local area calls for about $11 per month, the highest rate in the country. This system was chosen because the Administration felt it was easier for the students, said Howard Rotto, head of the task force. He explained that for dorm residents to “get their money’s worth,” they would have to average more than three local calls per day, or 98 calls per month. “Most students do not make 98 calls, so there is no reason for them to pay such a high charge,” he said. Because of the telephone wiring system already in the dormitory buildings, all students BUFFALO BAR TRAINING o o ° Q F Jj 58 float Street 894-6112 • G • New Classes Starting mry Monday Y Send for Free Brochure Licensed by New York State Education must choose the same service option, maintained Mr. Rotto. As an alternative to the present unlimited call system, he suggested the message unit metered arrangement, whereby users pay a lower basic rate for a specified number of calls, with added charges for extra calls. Mr. Rotto maintained that the majority of calls made by students are intra-campus calls, which are free. Steven Allen, a Buffalo representative of the New York Telephone Company, was unable to confirm this claim, but he said that “it doesn’t matter to the company which system is used.’’ “A vast majority, say 70 to 75 percent of the students, must want the metered system in order for the system to be changed,” explained Mr. Rotto, adding that the change must also be “justified” to the Administration. “The cooperation of the students will determine if a change in the rate system will be instituted,” he said.

She works for a private force partly because she does not meet the height requirement for city police, and partly, due to the lack of positions available to women on the Buffalo police force.

Young Special to The Spectrum Everyone agrees that electric transmission lines are appallingly ugly, but suggesting that they are health hazards and sources of environmental pollution is as surprising to most people as that the saying homely, freckle-faced kid next door is guilty of grand larceny. But the extremely high voltage lines which are currently being constructed in many places around the country are causing side effects which are degrading the quality of life and endangering the health of the people living nearby. technology Transmission has the point where lines carrying 7 65,000 volts are operating in a number of states and lines designated to carry up to 2,000,000 volts are being perfected for the near future. These very high voltages are carried on bare, unshielded now reached conductors pass in many or 50 feet above that places just 40 roads and farms. In the vicinity of these lines there is a very intense electric field that causes small, continuous currents to run through the ground, plants, and even the farmer on his tractor. This electric field can be made visible in a dramatic way by carrying an ordinary fluorescent bulb near the line. The bulb lights up without batteries, cords or metallic connections to the ground. Most people who see this experiment immediately ask what effect currents and fields of this strength have on people and other living things. Considering the importance of this question, one might assume that it had been thoroughly investigated by the power companies. But a search of the scientific literature reveals that the subject has not been adequately studied. The few research projects that have been done show that there may be profound effects caused by these fields. About eight or 10 years ago, when American utilities were starting to use extra-high voltage tests were equipment, two conducted by the companies. In one experiment, 22 mice were exposed to strong electric fields for a portion of each day over a 10-month period, resulting in a significant reduction in the size of the male children of exposed mice. The other study involved 10 linemen who did repair work on 345,000-volt lines. The company watched these men for nine years, doing seven complete medical examinations on them, and determined that three of the ten men had significantly reduced sperm count. However, the report said it would be hazardous to draw any conclusion on the significance of these facts from such a small sample. Recent laboratory studies in the United States have turned up positive evidence of biological effects from electromagnetic fields ranging from chromosome damage to high blood-pressure Veterans’ benefits bill awaiting action by Joseph P. Esposito City Editor A bill that would extend benefits for vetrans attending has been college passed overwhelmingly by Congress, but been sent to the signing because Congressional supporters fear Mr. Ford will pocket-veto the bill by ignoring it during Congress’ election recess. The legislation is expected to be submitted to the White House for action, though, when Congress reconvenes No. 18. The bill, HR 12628, an $800 million package, would extend veteran’s benefits from 36 to 45 months and would create an additional $600 annual loan program. The Ford adminstation has called this 23 percent increase has not Presdient and that President Ford feels the 23 percent cost-of-living increase is excessive. He also revealed that a Presidential veto would be seriously considered after a staff review of the bill is presented to Mr. Ford. yet for inflationary. No compromise The Administration initially called for an 8 percent boost in benefits, but when Congress began working for a larger increase the President suggested a compromise 19 percent, an offer which would eliminate the monthly increase and the loan program. The legislation, which does not apply to graduate students, would increase the current benefit schedule of $220 a'month for single, full-time students, $261 for for married students, $298 married students with one child, $18 a month for each and additional dependent. A White House spokesman indicated the Adminsitration is “still hopeful that the Congress will reduce the proposed increase” No longer excessive? The press spokesman added, that because the however, cost-of-living has increased since the bill was passed the incerase may no longer be considered excessive. An aide to Senator Jacob Javits (R., N.Y.) asserted that a veto on HR. 12628 is unlikely; “There is no doubt that it would be overriden if vetoed” and that this bill would “not be a good test case” for Presdient Ford to use his veto power. Senator Javits is co-sponsoring Hartke with Senator Vance (D-Ind.) a measure (S 4139) that would extend the proposed increases to graduate students. It is intended to prevent discrimination against graduate students, particularly those who already held B.A.’s when they entered the service. This legislation will be referred to the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, which is chaired by Senator Hartke, when they meet later this month. Passage likely The Javits spokesman feels that the bill will go through committee within a week or two quickly after the November 18 return. He added that is is expected to pass the Senate and has a good chance of passage in the House. - and alterations in levels of blood protein, fats and cholesterol. Neurological tissue appears to be particularly sensitive, confirming the fear that long-term exposure may damage the nervous system, as well as cause changes in cellular the genetic chemistry and structure. Another pollution hazard from high tension lines is the generation of ozone and highly radioactive chemicals. When walking under these lines, even in good weather, you can hear a crackling, sizzling sound. This discharge causes the air to break down as an insulator and the space around it becomes a seething cauldron of electrical and chemical activity. There are many processes involved which may be particularly damaging to living things. Research into this has shown that exposure to large phenomenon chronic concentrations of ozone causes tissue damage, increased lung sterility, and incidence of defective offspring in laboratory animals. It also affects the growth and yield of many plants. Monitoring stations for ozone levels in the atmosphere have only been operating at a few locations during the last two or three decades and it has only been in the last year or so that monitoring has been conducted in many cities and rural locations throughout the country. But several surprising have interesting results and already emerged. Concentrations in rural areas are found to be regularly higher than they are in the cities, and levels in both the and country throughout many states exceed the National Air Quality standards. Additionally, over the past few decades, the average levels have been increasing throughout the industrialized parts of the world. No one really understands the reasons for the high levels that are being recorded. The chemistry is complex and a large number of factors are probably involved, but power lines and other high voltage equipment are certainly among the contributing factors. Even the companies admit that power transmission lines do generate ozone, but they argue that the are small. very amounts city Unfortunately the studies that they rely on are neither definite nor conclusive. The field measurements, for example, were made under lines that were not energized to the full rated voltage. Plans by the Federal Power Commission call for more than 10.000 miles of lines rated 765.000 volts or higher by the year and 1990. A $5 million research development is program perfecting lines that will carry 1,000,000 volts or even up to 2,000,000 volts, yet there is no federal or state that is taking agency responsibility for assessing the safety of these installations. currently in progress, SA Travel Economical transportation The Student Association (SA) Travel Bureau appears to be enjoying a successful first year in its effort to provide students with economical transportation to a variety of destinations. Gary Nadler, director of the Bureau, affirmed that “there has been a lot of student interest in the Travel Bureau.” Its primary function, he said, is to serve students whose needs are “different from anyone else’s.” NYC anyone? One popular feature of the bureau’s service thus far was the inexpensive flights to and from New York City during the Columbus Day and Veteran’s Day weekends. Both group flights were sold out. A third New York flight, during the Thanksgiving holidays, still has a few seats available, while reservations for Christmas vacation will be taken soon Other Christmas packages will include a trip to • ATTENTION Nassau with hotel accommodations for one week, and a round trip flight from Buffalo to Los Angeles. Fort Lauderdale and Caribbean excursions are also in the works for the Easter holidays. European summer Next summer, the Travel Bureau will sponsor charter flights to Europe. Possible benefits students may receive include the International Student I.D. Card (good for discounts to museums, theaters and restaurants), intra-European flights and student rail passes. Hotel accommodations will not be provided, so that students can have the freedom to “go where they want to and when they want to,” Mr. Nadler explained. He also indicated that there have been no problems so far in handling the large number of applicants, crediting much of the Bureau’s success to “following the rules to the latter.” “We are always open to suggestions,” he added.

The Spectrum Page five, . �Editorial Freeze controversy Embracing terror The decision of the United Nations General grant official status to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as the "sole representative" of the Palestinian people was nothing less than an endorsement of the PLO's open and has ominous policy of terrorism against Israel implications for any hopes for permanent peace in the Middle East. By recognizing an organization that butchered innocent children at Ma'alot, routinely massacred airline travelers at Athens, and openly advocates a policy of genocide against the Jewish people as the complete expression of everything it stands for, the General Assembly has transformed any pretense of its own morality into a cruel joke. While it is essential that the U.N., in trying to find a peaceful solution to the Middle East conflict, provide representation for the 2.8 million Palestinians who are scattered throughout Israel, Jordan, Israeli-occupied lands and other Arab countries, there has been no firm indication that the PLO does in fact represent the Palestinian people. Jordan, with 643,000 Palestinians among its population, has sharply disputed that claim, and it is reasonable to assume that Kuwait, Lebanon and Syria, with a total Palestinian population of 429,000, have currently placed itself under the PLO umbrella for political convenience. There is a very* clear distinction between giving a self-professed terrorist organization access to the U.N.'s forums and granting it de facto membership in the General Assembly. This is not to say that membership in the United Nations has ever been confined to "peace-loving nations," as the U.N. charter expressly states. Too often throughout history, many of its members have represented governments which abdicated their sense of human decency and regard for international law. In fact, the U.N.'s evolution into a debating club-type forum for discussion instead of the world government envisioned by its founders has led some observers to believe that the PLO's inclusion into its discussions will not have that great of an effect anyway. But defining new membership in the United Nations along some kind of structural basis is necessary if any progress is to be made at establishing a world order through international law. As such, the PLO is neither representative of all Palestinians nor are its murderous actions consistent with the principles of the U.N. charter. The question of Palestinian statehood can no longer be answered by the United Nations, but only by a process in which Israelis and Jordanians are intimately involved. And in the meantime, the U.N. has only frustrated chances for world peace by supporting a group that thrives on terror, desires to violate the sovereignty of member states and will not rest until Israel is annihilated.

Well, it’s finally happened. On Wednesday, November 6, certain members of our so-called “representative” Student Assembly took the one action that has the potential to destroy Student Association: by a vote of 28-25-2, they decided to immediately freeze the Athletic Budget. Regardless of their reasons for taking this action, I want to tell everyone the effects of this vote: I) It endangers all athletic programs for the coming year. 2) It screws up our negotiations with the Athletic Department in trying to establish priorities for next year’s programs. 3) It opens the Student Association up to costly legal suits for breaking athletic contracts that have already been made. 4) Because of the time SA must spend hasseling over the budgets, it causes many SA projects to come to a standstill (i.e., SCATE, retaining the four-course load; upgrading academic advisement, etc.). 5) It damages the proposal that was devised to increase student and faculty membership on FSA the one organization that controls all campus services and ends our chances of improving food service in the dorms. 6) It serves to destroy all credibility we had developed with the Administration concerning University-wide issues. 7) Most importantly, it threatens to the entire concept of student destroy government by pitting the SA Executive Committee against the Student Assembly.

We as students cannot close our eyes to this situation. We must stand up for what we believe and fight the disregard for student rights and monies. Judith Friedler Student Assembly member Guest Opinion — — freeze, as the motion reads. The purpose of the freeze was to put a check on the parties involved. Many of us feel that alleged misappropriations of funds cannot be covered over and forgotten. We pay $67 with good faith that it will be spent fairly and legally. An “irrational act” is not one of freezing the budget, but an act which Now, why did this happen? I think there are two reasons: (1) A lack of trust in the officers of Student Association, and (2) greed. This first reason, I can understand but cannot accept. That is, I can understand that certain people just didn’t know the amount of time the Executive Committee spent in reviewing student priorities and coming up with a budget. However, after this was explained to them, 1 can’t accept the fact that they still distrust our motives in making up the Athletic Budget. Hell, the Executive Committee wasn’t out to screw students in athletics by fattening the athletic budget! In fact, we had to cut back a hell of a lot of money from athletics in order to make ends meet in the budget. And although we cut this money, we still upheld student priorities by increasing Intramurals and Recreation and Women’s Athletics. What more could have been done? In my opinion, the student body got what it wanted in athletics. Now, the second reason for this asinine vote hits a little closer to home; greed. That is, certain people on the Assembly would literally “rip” the budget to shreds in order to increase their own club. These people couldn’t really give a damn about the rest of the student body as long as they get their money. And in order to get their money, they’ll intimidate and “dance on tables” as much as they can in order to influence Assembly members to vote their way. Unfortunately, this tactic is still working in today’s Assembly. Hell, it makes sense to dance on a table if your budget will be raised $8000! So, given this situation, what the hell is going to happen? I see two alternatives: (1) The Student Assembly will maintain its decision to freeze the Athletic Budget; thus sending SA down the toilet; or (2) the Student Assembly will vote to stop the freeze and decide to support the budget that the Executive Committee submitted to them; thus ending this stupidity and permitting SA to get on with other programs that will benefit everyone (i.e., setting Athletic Budget priorities now for next year’s budget). If you’ve got a head on your shoulders, you will realize that there is only one alternative that makes any sense. If we’re to show any sense of responsibility to the Administration, the Athletic Department, or anyone else, we’re going to have to stop the “Budgetary Circus” that has been permitted to continue for too long. And there’s only one way that it can be done: you are going to have to voice your disgust at this Wednesday’s meeting at 4 p.m. in the Haas Lounge, Norton Union. Come down and bitch a little to the Student Assembly members who affect your money at these meetings. If I can’t talk a little sense into the people who froze athletics, maybe you can. It has to be done. Damn it! It’s already November 11 and the Student Assembly has done little more than look at budgets for seven months! This bullshit has got to stop. It’s time to get ourselves together and decide on priorities for next year. And it’s also time to put a little faith in the members of the Executive Committee who bust their balls trying to represent you to the University community. The day I stop representing you and your interests is the day you can come up to me and kick me out. Until then, I would appreciate your support in this, as well as all SA matters. And I’m sure that the rest of the Executive Committee feels the same way. �Outside Log Greedy Assembly INSTRUCTIONS You will have one hour to complete this exam. Use number 2 pencil only.

I do believe that the Athletic Dept, should be held accountable to the Student Association budget, as passed, and memos, including my own telling them where they could and couldn’t make cuts to absorb back debts. Other organizations besides the Athletic Dept, have over expended in the past, and SA has absorbed it. The Athletic Dept, must be given limited lee-way to work off their debt. Finally, there is some opinion among the adminstration on this campus that the students are fiscally irresponsible. This action by the Assembly, back-tracking on good faith commitments made by their elected officials may very well be viewed by these people as a prime illustration. These 28 assembly members may very well have traded long term gains for the students of this campus for this own immediate gains.

Elevators needed To the Editor In the Fillmore building of the EUicott Complex, there is only one elevator leading to the third floor (rooms 351-370). It is usually not functioning until 9 a.m. if at all. (It has been broken for about a week now). This is a bad situation, as I do especially if you have an 8:30 a.m. class five times a week. When you consider that the alternative to the malfunctional elevator is 6 flights of stairs, it ceases to be funny. It is even less funny when you remember that there are senior citizens at U.B. who find it uncomfortable to have to climb so many stairs. And - there are some handicapped students for whom it is even worse. (What do you do, for example, if you happen to be in a wheelchair, and the solitary elevator does not work? Or what if you haVe asthma, etc.? Perhaps there is a reason why the elevator has not yet been fixed. Perhaps a team of maintenence men has already been sent out, and has gotten lost somewhere in the bowels of the complex. But whatever the reason, this is a fairly serious situation, and I feel that some protest should be made to whoever is in charge of such things at EUicott. Helen A.

This myth can be disproven in many ways, but the most striking involves a look into Canada’s biggest sport ice hockey. Even a predominantly white activity such as ice hockey is not immune from the disease of racism. The sport has a valid excuse for being mostly white very few blacks live in Canada, where most of North America's hockey talent comes from. In fact, only three blacks have laced up a pair of skates for a professional game since the sport began. So racism in hockey is rare. Since the underground - - But when it does occur, it sticks out like a sore thumb. On the night of February 18, 1973, a 16-year-old black, Paul Smithers, was engaged in a Mississaugua Midget League contest in Ontario. One of his opponents, Barrie Cobby, had been hurling racial insults at Smithers. Spurred on by the crowd. Cobby challenged Smithers to fight. He also added some unkind words about Smithers’ mother, who was white. After the game, the two met in an alley behind the rink. Smithers had followed Cobby, determined to get either an apology or a fight. He got the latter, but after one punch, Smithers was grabbed by four members of Cobby’s team. Cobby lunged at him and Smithers, instinctively kicked out, hitting Cobby in the groin. Cobby crumpled to the ground. Minutes later, he was dead. According to a New York Times account, “Not one doctor could say with any medical certainty that there was a direct connection between the kick to the and the death of Cobby. A pathologist attributed Cobby’s death to the inhaling of his own vomit, but found no evidence of bodily harm. Dr. William Butt, the Mississauga county coroner, testified that even extreme tension could have caused the vomiting." Despite this, an all-white jury convicted Smithers of manslaughter, and sentenced him to six months in the Brampton Adult Training Center. Was Smithers convicted because he was black? Buffalo's Ed Wright, the only black hockey coach in North America, answered, "I think that had something to do with it. I don't really think that the total conviction was based on the fact that he was black, lie appeared to me to be a victim ot groin circumstance.” Wright could not understand how the jury could have manslaughter in convicted Smithers ol ot the medical view testimony Racist fans Ed Wright, during his playing days at Boston University. Wright played on what was called the UN line, alongside a French Canadian and Korean Herb Wakabayashi, Wright's home town All-American for Boston. pal and an Wright placed the blame tor Cobby s death on both the fans and Cobby. "I would have to say that most of the blame should fall on the fans." In similar situations during his playing career at Boston University, Wright felt the Buffalo hockey coach Ed Wright, left, walks off the ice after a game, alongside his assistant Jim Reaume. It is rare to see black people on the ice as players, much less players did. “It’s unfortunate (outbreaks admitted that he had been by the crowd). It’s go away once you take the skates off. It stays with you.” “We used to play in a league with Detroit,” he went on. “I couldn’t sleep for two nights before we had to play a game in Detroit." Wright ended up with an ulcer operation at the age of 19, largely from worrying about crowd and opposing players’ sentiments. On or off something that doesn’t Trouble with Harvard Another incident occurred when Boston was playing Harvard, In spite of Harvard’s fine academic reputation, they too resorted Harvard goalie liked to slash opposing players as they went by. He tripped Wright, sending him into the boards. Wright got up slowly and the action had already moved down ice. He skated in front of the goalie and flicked his stick in front of the goalie's mask as a warning. The goalie fell to the ice. clutching his Adam’s apple. When no penalty was assessed to Wright because neither official had seen the incident, the crowd was incensed Wright later received a threatening letter from a Harvard dean, and relations between the two schools were strained Years later, the Harvard goalie finally to racial slurs. The coaches. there acting had been no contact. “1 like to think that the only reason the players on the ice were after me was because of my ability,” Wright reflected. Intimidation is a powerful weapon on the ice, and any team that can gain an advantage by this should do so, he claimed, since hockey “is a form of war.” Wright never let what happened on the ice affect him after the game had ended. That’s where he and Smithers differed, and where Smithers made his mistake. in the Thomas Rumfola recounted Times that “if Smithers’ attack on Cobby had occurred during the game, Smithers would have been liable for a five-minute major penalty. Off the ice, he was liable for a term in prison.” Wright eventually turned his color into an advantage. He was hired by Buffalo, partly because he was black, but also because he had excellent qualifications, learning at B.U. under one of the nation’s best hockey coaches. Jack Kelley. But is he the rule or the exception? The day has yet to come when Paul Smithers can be as fortunate. For him, being black took six months from his young life, and left him with a lifetime of guilt. Dissipating football support Volleyball by Bruce Engel Sports Editor The campaign to bring varsity football back to campus took a small step forward Thursday afternoon when a group of about 60 students gathered at Rotary Field to hear three briet progress speeches. the meeting’s organizer and a who played freshman ball at Villanova University last year, was disappointed with the turnout. “1 don’t know why more people didn’t come. A lot of people told us they would, but they didn’t," Lapiana complained. He also mentioned the weather as it was an overcast day with intermittent rain a deterrent to attendance. “I still think we have a lot of support,” he said. Lapiana and his co-organizer, Dave Prouel, are still confident they can bring the sport back, and reported that they will move ahead with several other phases of the campaign. “I’m not giving up on this thing,” Lapiana said in his closing remarks. Pat Lapiana, transfer student — Gotta believe The meeting was kept short, as publicized. After a few minutes of opening remarks by Lapiana, Prouel took the bullhorn and tried to convince the sympathetic audience that a lot of the alleged obstacles in the wav of a return football are really all. The school has equipment, the facilities and the coaches, and the money is available, he insisted, claiming that the alumni would chip in too, and that if the movement got enough support, the Student Association would finance the team as well Despite the poor turnout. Lapiana and Prouel were pleased that the Athletic Department was lending them support. Golf coach Bill Dando, wrestling coach Ed Michael (together with several of his wrestlers), and Athletic Department business manager Dan Daniels were all in attendance. Dando, who was Buffalo’s linebacker coach in the old days, was the third speaker on the program. He mentioned that four years after the program was dropped, he is still receiving letters from high school athletes who want to play football here. “I have to write back and tell them we don’t have a team,” he not there at said. Dando feels a football team is something that could benefit the University in many ways. He also believes that getting a schedule, even for next year, would not be a major problem. Lapiana can foresee the day when Buffalo Bulls football will be really big again, but conceded for the first lime that it would be alright to start on the club level. “1 guess we’ll have to start small,” he admitted. Pat has remarked previously that club football was not worth the effort. Career opportunities Peter Hopkins, Director of Placement for Cornell University’s School of Management, will lecture on “Career Opportunities in Hospital and Health Management, Business Management, and Public Management” Wednesday at 3 p.m. in the Norton Hall Conference Theatre. Jerome Fink, Univeristy pre-jaw advisor, believes that many student are going into law for the “wrong reasons,” and that Mr. Hopkins can make students aware of career opportunities in fields other than law. team faces the first loss of season by Joy Clark Spectrum Staff Writer The Buffalo Volleyball team sustained its first loss of the season to Houghton College. "We didn’t play particularly well," commented coach Cindy Anderson, while “they (the Houghton players) said they played one of their best games.” The match was played at Houghton Academy, a nearby high school in Fillmore, N.Y., because the college’s gym was too small to accomodate a volleyball court. But the Academy’s gym did not meet minimum requirements for a regulation volleyball court either. There was an unusually high number of replays caused by the ball’s bouncing off the beams of the low ceiling. And instead of the regulation six feet behind the server’s line, there was only about one foot, so the serves had to be made in front of the line. “At a gym with good facilities,” Anderson said, “this might have been a different game.” The first game was fairly even until co-captain Joanne Wroblewski served nine straight points, but HOughton then stalled Buffalo with a tight defense that held them scoreless for the rest of the game. “People weren’t up, we weren’t talking and moving,” said Wroblewski about the second game, when Houghton’s defense held up again, Houghton won easily, allowing Buffalo only 5 points in the Thursday night process. Outstanding freshman Anderson cited Shelly Kulp, the only freshman on the team, as the so she lacks power, game’s outstanding player. Shelly is small but according to Anderson, "she makes a lot of good sets and saves. She’s got a lot of potential. The only thing holding her back is her height,” the coach added, “It’ll be nice to have her around for four years.” The loss might determine whether or not the players get into the state tournament, if they come in first or second in the district finals next weekend, they will automatically be entered. If not, Anderson will have to apply to the selection committee for an at-large berth. The committee will judge the team on this year’s and last year’s records, and in that case, this loss could hurt.

He said that funding, governance, and observational research is formulate guidelines for the time-consuming and expensive academic use of the center and has been shown to be a The 20-page report, handed controversial method of-study. out at the beginning of the Senate “You can’t come in and watch session, was criticized for kids play ball,” he told the “twisting data” in an attempt to Senate. The report is “dressed up to rationalize keeping the Center open without pinpointing why it make it spuriously respectable,” deserved to be funded. said Norman Solkoff, professor of Psychology. “You have data ‘What happens?’ which disprove your argument, Moreover, the report neglected but you twist data,” he told the to include details of a proposed subcommittee. Center for the study of Early Dr. Solkoff referred to a Childhood Development (ECD), paragraph which explained a recommendation to extend Senate members claimed. “We hear very little about what childcare facilities to night school really happens there,” said one students attending Millard explained. An appeal by several Senators for further discussion was quashed by Chairman George Hochfield. He Fillmore College (MFC). By providing evening childcare, the University would make itself more accessible to Buffalonians, the report stated. Contradictions But Dr. Solkoff said the statistics cited in the report contradict its conclusions and defeat its purpose. The report quotes a 1973 MFC study in which a random selection of 475 out of 2646 questionnaires led MFC to predict that “there was considerable interest in utilizing an evening childcare facility if one were available [more than 10 percent of the respondents felt it would be of considerable aid to them].” The report also cited a separate analysis of 685 questionnaires in which 97 students indicated that childcare facilities would aid their academic . progress, 497 said it wouldn’t, and 35 said it would make no difference. “The considerable importance that day care would have to over 10 percent of the students should be given serious consideration,” the Day Care report said. Dr. Solkoff later added that he supported the principles of Day Care and he “wanted to see this thing get through.” But he said the report would never pass the The SpECTI^UIVI Vol. 25, No. 33 State University of New York at Buffalo Friday, 8 November said discussion would be appropriate only after the Senate and Executive Committee had studied the report. The flurry of charges against it went unanswered as debate was tabled until next month. Accessibility The subcommittee report was prepared in accordance with a motion passed by the Senate last month which directed the Executive Committee to “examine the issue of Day Care with the intent of finding appropriate ways of supporting the Administration’s effort to maintain the Day Care Center.” The motion was originally .. . proposed by subcommittee and Philosophy professor James Lawler. Dr. Lawler briefly summarized the subcommittee’s findings and recommendations before the Senate. He stressed that the Center’s chairman ability to make the University accessible to parents who otherwise could not attend was an important responsibility. The number of minority group parents utilizing the Center showed that it complied with federal Affirmative Action laws, he said. A high percentage of single and low income parents also use the Center facilities, Dr. Lawler reported, adding that academic use of the Center has been restricted by faculty limitations and a lack of planning by instructors. Stimulation 1974 The proposed ECD would stimulate research and make the Day Care Center a leader in childhood development, Dr. Lawler maintained. The Day Care Center has been trying to secure funds for its continued operation since the beginning of the semester because of a cutback of $29,000 from Sub-Board. In other action, the Senate endorsed Admissions Committee recommendations requiring transfer students to complete at least 12 semester hours of work before applying and begin at least another 12 by the time of application. The Senate also recommended that any transfer student with a 2.S average or less be admitted on condition that he complete their first 24 hours of course work here with at least a C average. Students will be admitted here in order of grade point average. If the students meet these conditions after completing 24 hours of work, they will be granted final admission to the University. If they fail to maintain the C average, they will not be allowed to continue here. Objections Several Senators objected to the proposal because it differentiates between transfers and regularly matriculated students. “Transfer students who drop below a 2.0 average will not be allowed to continue, while regular students who drop below that average will be allowed to continue,” Dr. Lawler said. But “transfer students are different from regular students,” replied Jonathan Reichert, professor of physics. Since we are accepting students on the basis of their grades at another institution, those with less than a 2.5 average should be tested for performance when they transfer here. Dr. Reichert said. The Senate also approved an early admissions program that would admit 25 high school seniors this fall and another 25 the following fall and recommended that the Educational Opportunity Program admit 450 new students next fall, increasing its total enrollment from 1158 to 1300. Subcommittee proposes changes to credit system budgeting purposes, he This would result in fewer faculty lines. Dr. Lawler said. Approval of his recommendations would eliminate the “threat” from Albany, Dr. Lawler believes, while retaining the present system is not worth the financial consequenses. Furthermore, Dr. Lawler feels the credits by Mitchell Regenbogen for emphasized. Campus Editor A special subcommittee of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee recommended Wednesday that the policy of granting four credits for three hours of or the four-course load course work practiced at this University since 1968 be re-evaluated. Three seperate proposals to change the present system of awarding credits were also presented at the Executive - - Committee’s weekly meeting. One resolution adivsed that all three hour courses be reduced to three credits, for “the purpose of restoring minimal equivalence between credit and contact hours,” Fac-Sen Chairman George Hochfield explained in a telephone interview after the closed meeting. The proposal was introduced by Robert Fisk of the Faculty of Educational Studies. A second resolution, offered by Philosophy Professor James Lawler, recommended an increase in faculty contact hours to justify retaining the four-credits-per-course system. This could be accomplished by increasing every hour of class time by IS minutes, resulting in an additional 45 minutes per week, Dr. Lawler said. Equalization As another alternative. Professor Lawler suggested that an extra hour long class be added to every course each week to equalize contact hours with assigned credits. A third proposal by Law Professor Jacob Hyman would make no changes in the present four course/four credit system, accepting the “consequences” from the addition of one hour per course would improve their overall quality. He also suggested that additional class time to be used as discussion periods be made optional for students. Any new credit to the whole system should apply University, rather than only a few Faculties, Dr. Lawler added. Justification Dr. Hochfield feels a joint Faculty-Administration committee should be established to examine accountability and the “justification for the way we give credits.” Bureau of the Budget. Mark Humm, Student Association (SA) Academic Affairs Coordinator, said that the Executive Committee proposals “simplified the issue” and that SA was not ready to take a stand on the Wednesday However, Mr. Humm said SA would issue a statement with a few days. The University Administration had indicated from time to time over the past two years that the Bureau of the Budget in Albany is weary of the four credit system. Executive vice-president Albert Somit explained that when the University upped its courses from three to four credits six years ago, there was no increase in matter. faculty-student contact hours. This gave the impression that “we inflated the value of our credits,” Dr. Somit said. Dissatisfied The Bureau of the Budget might look at our budget more skeptically,” Dr. Somit added. “For better than two years we’ve been telling Albany that the matter is “ under study,” he said. Agreeing with Dr. Somit, Dr. Lawler explained that his proposal was a result of the budget division being “dissatisfied.” If the University does not act soon on the declare” matter, the Bureau will simply that all four-credit courses are worth three “ He also attributed concern over the four course system to the Budget Bureau’s claim that the faculty of the University “doesn’t tell the truth about how much work it does.” Dr. Hochfield admitted that it is difficult to predict how faculty are reacting to the issue, drawing a dividing line between those who support the “rjfprms of ’68” and those who would like to see changes. While Dr. Somit declined to “argue for any particular solution,” Dr. Hochfield called on the Administration to thoroughly explain the budget situation in Albany and advise the faculty on what course of action to follow. “It is unclear what the Bureau of the Budget threatened,” he emphasized. \has �Grad Student Meeting There will be a general meeting of the Graduate Student Employees Union on Friday, November 8 at 3 p.m. in Room 240-248 Norton Union.

Protests, controversy surround Shockley The controversial debating career of physicist William B. Shockley a September resumed this academic year in familiar style cancellation, this time at Cleveland’s Case Western Reserve University. One month later, the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), responding to pressure from a black student group, issued a "non-invitation” to the Nobel Prize-winning electronics expert. Dr. Shockley, a Stanford faculty member, contends that blacks are genetically less intelligent than whites and that people with genetic deficiencies, including low intelligence, should be given government bonuses for undergoing voluntary sterilization. — leaker’s Burea Expert urges women to act wisely in preventing a rape by Amy Dunkin Managing Editor What’s the first thing you should do if you are a woman in danger of being assaulted and raped? Scream? Struggle? Kick the guy in his groin with your knee? The answer is no in almost all cases, according to Frederic Storaska, researcher, consultant, and lecturer on rape and assault. Speaking before a mixed audience in the Fillmore Room Wednesday night, courtesy of the SA Speaker’s Bureau, Mr. Storaska urged that all potential rape victims try to “diffuse the violence” of the attacker by “going along until you see a chance to safely react.” A woman is limited only by False starts For more than a year, Dr. Shockley, who insists he is an expert in genetics as well as electronics, has been attempting to schedule debates between himself and Roy Innis, National Director of the Congress on Racial Equality. But things have never quite worked out. Shockley-lnnis debates last year were cancelled or postponed at the University of Georgia, New York University, Harvard, Princeton, and on four separate occasions at Yale. This September, Dr. Shockley and Mr. Innis actually met on a debating platform at Case Western but discussion was preempted when more than 50 protesters began to chant and blow whistles. The noise didn’t stop until two and a half hours later, when the debate was finally cancelled. At UCLA, the speakers bureau had moved to schedule a debate between the pair, subject to the approval of the school’s Black Students Association (BSA). Such approval was not forthcoming, however. In vetoing the idea, Sam Walton, BSA President, expressed disgust that the speaker’s bureau would even consider asking BSA to co-sponsor such an activity. “It should have been apparent that black students wouldn’t support a man who is a proponent of black genocide,” he said. Arguing that “a primary function of the BSA at UCLA is the -Center promotion of racial pride within the black student community on campus,” Walton explained, “obviously Mr. Shockley doesn’t make her imagination, he stressed. "Do anything weird.” any significant contribution to black pride.” Members of the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) threatened to “shut as long as you understand that it it doesn’t help you, up” any appearance by Dr. Shockley on the UCLA campus. In a it cannot harm you. lie repeated many times during confrontation with the speaker’s bureau director, several PLP members the program. shouted that racism is not debatable and therefore there was no Mr. Storaska. who believes that “nothing justification for bringing Dr. Shockley to campus. justifies rape.” deplores the way society treats “Saying the subject is debatable is a crime against all the students woman in reference to rape prevention. “We scare on this campus,” argued one PLP member. the hell out of them” and then leave them helpless intelligently deal with the situation, he said.

No one, it turned out, would serve on an onstage debating about rape, Mr. Storaska stated that “probably 99 oanel with him. our of 100 things you’ve heard about it are wrong.” Their reasons were “understandable,” said Mr. Morrow.

In addition, rape is almost never discussion cheering them or booing Dr. Shockley. associated with murder, Mr. Storaska said. “It wouldn’t be fair to ask the University community to listen to rapist The is an emotionally disturbed person someone who challenges the basis for most of our government and has problems with the male/female who severe social programs without having someone there to dispute him,” Mr. Often motivated by a explained. Morrow said. he relationship, hate emotion, he means to “drag the woman off her pedestal” by loathing and defiling her, Mr. Storaska said.

Friday, 8 November 1974 The woman must therefore prove she represents no threat to her assailant, Mr. Storaska indicated. “In a surprise situation like rape, the only way a weapon is effective if it’s readily available at all times,” he said. Since this is generally not the case, he cautioned that a woman will probably place herself in greater jeopardy if she attempts to use a weapon and fails. Screaming works only 50-55 percent of the time, Mr. Storaska revealed, while struggling may cause two undesirable things to happen: it may sexually entice the man 10-100 times faster than passively resisting, or may force him to beat his victim to calm her down. Mr. Storaska also noted that while the marshall arts are the best means of self-defense devised by man, they are invalid for the masses because few people are willing to spend the time to study them. Smart thinking A key objective in preventing rape is to somehow persuade the rapist not to carry out his intentions without antagonizing him. One way is to try to turn the person off sexually, Mr. Storaska declared, relating that one woman, in a desperate effort to stop her date from raping her in a car, urinated all over him. If a woman’s life is in immediate danger, Mr. Storaska recommended that she gently place her hands on his face and put our his eyes, or reach for the testicles, delicately caress them, and then crush them together. Mr. Storaska informed his listeners that sex can often be used as a powerful weapon. “The woman is the only one who feels the special hell out there. Whatever she chooses to do is right.

Sometimes, if a woman goes into mild shock and is paralyzed with fear for a while, it gives her brain time to adjust to the situation and poSsibly devise a clever way out, he said. Contrary to many psychologists’ thinking, Mr. Storaska does not believe women want to be raped. “They say rape is the woman’s fault. She is teasing the man. With some men, if you wore snowsutis, you would be teasing a man,” Mr. Storaska said. No matter what a woman is saying or suggesting, she doesn’t deserve rape as a punishment, he commented. An actual experience Mr. Storaska was first introduced to the actual situation of rape ten years ago when he witnessed the brutal rape and assault of a young girl by a gang of teenage boys. He immediately fought off the attackers, but the girl had already been seriously injured. Since then, he has been independently researching the subject. The result of his work will soon appear in a book. How to Say No to a Rapist and Survive. Mr. Storaska also founded the National Organization for the Prevention of Rape and Assault (NOPRA) in 1972. Located in New York City, the Center provides a hot-line for women who want to report or discuss an assault, gathers further research data on the topic and lobbies to change the insensitive laws governing assaults. NOPRA consults with police and campus security units on assault cases, educates men and women as to prevailing attitudes which promote and encourage rape, and stimulates other researchers to study this area. 10 & PIPE SHOP 638-4288 <£> <n Main at Bailey COMING SOON Magazines N.

It enables him the Executive Committee and the to force the Assembly to vote on money already committed. Some something for a second time at Assembly members feel a legal the next meeting, although there case can be made out of this is no stipulation that the voting question. margin must be greater than the SA officials, at one time simple majority that applied to confident of the Assembly, are the original vote. now very down on it. “We are SA President Frank Jackalone approaching the point where we will enact this section in response may have to present these issues to the Assembly’s passage of a to larger student body opinion,” resolution to freeze the budget for Mr. Salimando said, intimating intercollegiate athletics. The that a referendum may be revote will take place at the necessary if the Assembly ” Assembly meeting next Wednesday. “We will know at that time whether we have a program or if we have mayhem,” said SA vice-president Scott Salimando, who termed the 28-25-2 vote for the freeze a “rash action.” “Those people didn’t know what they were doing,” Mr. Salimando added. “1 didn’t hear one specific explanation of what they wanted to cut or why. They just wanted to cut something.” The SA vice-president has become very disgruntled with what he considers the careless actions of the Assembly and the greed of some of the membership who have been trying to get more money for their own organizations. Since outspoken last spring, members several of the Student Assembly and the student community at large including BSD President Larry Williams, who is not in the Assembly but has been a pivotal force anyway, have been critical of the athletic expenditures. They tried to do away with several varsity teams last spring, and their curiousity was aroused this fall because the Athletic Department dropped crew and rechanneled the funds into last year’s deficit. However, it became apparent continues to be irresponsible and unrepresentative. Mssrs. Jackalone Salimando and more worried are even about implications that go beyond athletics. “This could screw us up in many ways,” the former claimed. “A thing like this could student government. destroy We’ve been handcuffed by the budget problem from the start. We haven’t had the time to work on other things.” things Mr. other The Salimando is concerned about are issues like strengthening the student voice in FSA, maintaining the four course load, publishing an effective SCATE. etc. They are worried that student government will not be able to make any headway in these larger issues if it cannot control its own affairs, including a relatively simple thing like a budget. All these budgetary problems, the fear, will make the administration hesitant to give the student government more input in these areas. Mr. Salimando’s fears were nearly confirmed by a simple statement Dr. Somit made yesterday concerning the athletic budget. “Where commitments have been made they will have to be honored. The University’s good name must be retained.” Assembly freezes the entire intercollegiate athletic budget by Mike McGuire Spectrum Staff Writer The Student Assembly froze the entire intercollegiate athletic budget Wednesday including the signing of any new contracts. The freeze, which passed by a vote of 28-25-2, cuts off funds for all athletics except intramurals and recreation. This weekend’s intercollegiate games were exempted. However, SA President Frank Jackalone said after the vote that he would veto the action. The SA president has the power to send back legislation to the Assembly for a revote. The freeze takes effect immediately, pending the veto, and will last until the Assembly receives a breakdown on contracts already signed by the Athletic Department. The Student Association Executive Committee must now look into possible legal action against the Athletic Department for an allegedly unauthorized transfer of funds. — The transfer involved the crew team, which was dropped by the Athletic Department last summer. However, prior to Wednesday’s meeting, the line had not been deleted from the active athletic budget passed by the Executive Committee last spring. Speaking about the deletion, which was passed Wednesday, Assembly member Dave Chavis asked if this money was being used, without SA authorization, to pay off part of the Athletic Department’s $18,000 deficit from last year. None of the Executive Committee members present was certain how the money was being used, if at all. Dropped but not dropped However, SA was informed during the summer that the sport was dropped by the Athletic Department, and neither party moved at that time to deduct the figure from the total athletic budget. This presumably led the department to believe it could use the money as they saw fit. The department claimed that crew was dropped because of a deficit that had to be made up from last year. The Assembly freeze came two weeks after the Executive Committee threatened to freeze the - PHILIPS intercollegiate budget if transfers that decreased the lines for intramurals and recreation were not restored to the original level passed by the Executive Committee. The changes were documented in a revised budget presented by the Athletic Department this fall. If the original budget lines were not restored by November 11, Mr. Jackalone had promised to freeze the budget himself. The debate over the athletic budget arose several meetings ago, when attempts to transfer funds from funded groups Athletic Department to other SA caused several Executive Committee members to respond that the athletic budget had already been committed to contracts. Since the active budget had been passed by the Executive Committee but not yet approved by the Assembly, this revelation enraged some Assembly members. When they persisted in trying to reduce the athletic budget, Executive Committee members warned that the University administration could veto this change. Futile discussion During the often raucous meeting, constant reference was made to the futility of trying to change the budget if the administration can veto such a change. SA members also debated the legality of the contract signed by the Athletic Department. Larry Williams, President of the Black Student Union, claimed that they were signed in violation of SA regulations, and therefore were not binding, while Howard Schapiro, Student Affairs Coordinator, said the SA constitution states that an Executive passed budget is legal until the Committee Assembly changes it. Thus, claimed Mr. Schapiro, contracts signed under the original budget would be binding even if the Assembly were to change the budget at this time. In other business, the Assembly approved several portions of the budget, including salaries, travel, and transportation lines related to SA and SASU. The allocation for Sub-Board was tabled until the Assembly receives a breakdown of its $281,200 budget. - NOVEMBER CLASSICAL SPECIAL Relax and enjoy the Fall with the world's greatest recordings PRE-HOLIDAY SPECIALS List $23.95 NOW! * 'll" 114.87 Anwlinf.

Smith I A I " A I “i GOOD FOOD RESTAURANT Hong Kong Chicken with vegetable. Lichee Guy Kew (Chicken Balls with Lichees) Gol Lai Har stuffed with Minced Meats, Sweet and Sour Scallops, Charles E. Smith, Professor of Biology, believes that there are four kinds of University professors: nincompoops with charm; nincompoops with no charm; compoops (the opposite of nincompoop) with charm; and cumpoops with no charm. He explained this theory in a lecture, “The Nincompoop Matrix,” delivered at the freshman induction meeting of the Alpha Lambda Delta/Phi Eta Sigma honor society Monday in 339 Norton. In a light-hearted manner, Dr. Smith concerned himself with the question of “whether or not students can, in any good sense and good taste, evaluate their professors reliably.” He began by saying that the subject has been hotly debated for many years, and in at least one case has led to the resignation of a high university official over the suggestion that student evaluations of faculty at his university were to be published. — “Dr. Burger seems to have lost track of time,” Dr. Smith said. “His sentences generally began with, ‘This is how it was in the old days..and his lecture subject matter ranged from Eskimo seal-hunting to homo sapiens society (this was a business course)... Rumor has it that at the end of the semester the class voted to change the title of the course from ‘Business Law’ to ‘Burger’s Travels’ . .” .

FORT ERIE body." Smith demonstrated that students to (adjacent Canadian Customs at the Peace Bridge) on both high and low “quality of mind” levels generally evaluated professors consistently. The noncompoops who lack charm receive an "F" rating from all the students, and the compoops with charm got an “A” from all. The only deviations are slight ones in regard to the charming nincompoop, who rates a “D” from the higher level of students and a “C” from the lower ones. In contrast, the compoop with no charm manages a “C” from the lower level of students and an “A” from the more perceptive ones who appreciated his competence. & Dr. Smith also cited the evaluations of students in “another university in another (no cover charge or admission) time,” in particular the case of a certain Dr. Burger, who, on a scale of 1 to 5 was given ratings of between 2.5 and 3.0 by his students. George's Special Egg Foo Yong, L Dr. Smith feels that evaluations of professors do take the form of gossip and hearsay, but should be brought out into the open anyway. The question, he said, is not whether such evaluations should take place, but whether they are reasonable and should be published. In Dr. Smith’s “Figure 1,” a graph illustrating the range of “quality of mind,” he avoided using the word “intelligence” (which he feels has no meaning) of students on one line, and of professors on apother. Theoretically, the “quality of mind” of a professor could actually fall below that of 50 percent of the class. Such a professor (“a nincompoop”) can rise to his position by “ambition, all sorts of perseverence . accidents,” Dr. Smith said. The other factors involved in determining the quality of an instructor-patience, friendliness, understanding, and so on lumped into the category of “charm” by Dr. Smith. The trouble with students’ evaluating their professors is that students too, can be at any point in the range of “quality of mind,” and there is the reasonable fear that a student of minimal ability would give his professors a distorted evaluation. — _ JULIE’S presents Live music every Friday Saturday nite!

They know that the cost of education today is reaching deeper and deeper into the pockets of the students and their families, and they recognize the right of the public to demand as high a level of teaching as possible. As to the use of student evaluations to this end, Dr. Smith feels they aren’t perfect but that they are “definitely valid” and “remarkably good.” evaluations, �Unrealistic Am attitudes critized at meeting A steadily increasing world population has left millions of people in the underdeveloped nations of the world starving and set the stage for this week’s World Food Conference in Rome. Representatives from 130 nations are meeting to debate and offer solutions to the food crisis. Many of the participating countries have criticized the United States for having an “unrealistic attitude” about the problems. American officials have tended to play down the immediacy of the shortage, a belief characterized by a recent speech by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz in which he stated, “We are not in a food crisis, either in this country or in the world.” Attitudes such as these, coupled with the fact that the United States is the major food exporter in the world, have led Senator Hubert Humphrey to term prospects for the conference “bleak.” According to Mr. Humphrey, Mr. Butz’s main interest is in “stimulating commercial exports.” 9 overshadow any genuine concern for the world food situation. According to Senator George McGovern, more than half of last year’s Food for Peace shipments went to South Vietnam and Cambodia instead of more needy nations.

But it is equally clear that population cannot continue to indefinitely double every generation.” He also called for increased food production in both the developed and developing nations. the finest chains linked together with delicacy <6 elegance M precious V — - - Engle wood &E Near Main 835-3182 - • MARGE- GAY- MARILYN- Invite you to their \\ IP (Snmfc NO VEMBER 7 - 21st 20% OFF ALL PURCHASES - Free pattern with $5 purchase or more register for drawing Mon.

The UMW is reportedly seeking a settlement at least equal to the three-year 38 to 42 percent wage and benefit increase won by steelworkers earlier this year. UMW proposals include sick pay and cost-of-living provisions that would increase the coal industry’s labor costs by nearly 50 percent. Coal miners currently earn from $41 to $51 a day. Negotiations, which started Sept. 3, were curtailed temporarily last Monday when UMW President Arnold Miller protested a BCOA counterproposal. “With what they’ve handed us, he said, “they’ve declared a strike in the coal fields.” But W.J. Usery, Jr., director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, later obtained an agreement between the two parties that brought them back to the bargaining table. Strike atmosphere Fearful of the pro-strike mood, the UMW management is believed reluctant to make its best offer now because of the possibility that the workers might go on strike anyway and force them to come up with a more costly settlement. A strike seems inevitable because of the new system instituted in the UMW by which any new contract must be ratified by the union members, themselves, a process expected to take at least 10 days to carry out. And the workers have indicated they will not return to work without a contract. gem; g metol' 1053 elmwooa ovenue/boHolo, 886-1300 Spinning • Statistics The doomsday-like statistics that prompted the conference read something like this: One third to one half of the world’s people go to bed hungry every night.

At present, the country most able to end the Indian famine is the United States, yet political considerations have weighed as heavily as humanitarian concerns, according to The Times.

Now $99*95 «i299s Effects A short strike should not cause serious disruptions to the economy, but a walkout lasting more than two weeks could have a very serious impact A recent government report estimated that a long strike could put 200,000 workers out of work by the end of the month. The railroads, automobile and chemical industries, electrical utilities and the steel industry all heavily dependent on coal would be the first to feel the effects of a strike Officials of the two local steel plants, Bethlehem and Republic, said a long strike could have “drastic” effects on their operations, which together employ 16,000 persons. Like most other industries, Bethlehem Steel has stockpiled some coal, though they refuse to disclose how much and how long it would last. A spokesman for General Motors, which operates plants in Tonawanda, Buffalo and Lockport, said a strike may hurt some of their suppliers and thereby cause a production slowdown. Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. has prepared for the possibility of a coal shortage by building up a 90-day reserve supply, an increase over its usual 60-day supply. — — Choose from five colors! e saitee e sun tour derailleurs e stem e hi e chrome fork stays - - - lever's shifters pressure tires Hike & Bike 3250 Main St. 837-0240 Open daily at 10 am.

Student Assembly's decision to freeze the intercollegiate athletic budget may well have been a hasty and careless display of emotionalism, but its action is understandable in light of what has happened to student governance at this University. Last year, many students joined the Assembly with the expectation of playing a significant role in determining how $800,000.00 in mandatory fees would be distributed. When frustration over allocating the largest hunk of student fees to intercollegiate athletics caused disruptions at the budget literally ran out on the Assembly, hearings and tir hopeful that they would have the were still representatives to review and propose changes in in September opportunity Executive Committee. But while budget passed by the the merely attempting to perform their constitionally-mandated function of reviewing the budgets during the past few weeks. Assembly members were suddenly confronted with a barrage namely, that the of hitherto unknown practical realities Athletic Department must sign contracts for intercollegiate sports well in advance of the actual season, and had done so during the summer. the It was this entire frustrating sequence of events expectation spring, the lack of time to review budgets in the of reviewing them in the fall, the violation of this expectation because of contractual regulations, and the generally negative feeling toward intercollegiate athletics that gave the Assembly no recourse but to force the issue. Practically speaking, a case can be made for SA President Frank Jackalone's decision to veto the freeze involving Student Association in an endless legal and financial entanglement while it is attempting to strengthen student representation on the Faculty-Student Association, win respectability in academics and justify the existence of the student mandatory fee could prove a costly proposition. But we must question whether the problem is a practical one or whether it is actually a matter of principle; that is, should SA, in the interests of political expediency, continue to evade an issue that has clearly provoked the ire of many The — — — - students. The fact that 28 members of the Student Assembly were angry enough to take an emotional and impractical step like freezing the intercollegiate budget, without even putting a condition on the freeze as the Executive Committee itself did two weeks ago, acutally reflects a far more serious the increasing problem than a skirmish over a few dolars obsolescence of student government. What is most disturbing of all is that, in seeking to justify the speedy passage of the original intercollegiate allocation, Mr. Jackalone and others on the Executive Coommittee have continually made reference to the fact that no matter what the Assembly decides. President Ketter still has final authority in the matter. While that may in fact be the case, there is nothing more appalling to members of the Assembly then to hear SA officers expound the universal futility of opposing the administration, especially when they claim to represent students. In freezing the intercollegiate budget, then, the Assembly was not reacting against the Athletic department's $3,000 line transfer for crew as much as it was venting its absolute disgust with what it considers SA's burgeoning elitism and hesitation to confront the administration to avoid political casualties elsewhere. Whatever the outcome, Student Association must begin reordering next year's budgetary priorities now if it is to avoid stumbling over the same stone twice. Mr. Jackalone would be wise to begin working to establish a mechanism whereby every student's funding preferences can be discerned by next spring, even if it means making class registration next semester contingent upon filling out a survey research-type funding preference form. It is time we found out exactly how each student feels about intercollegiate athletics, WNYPIRG, and other organizations instead of having to rely on the approximations of SA officers who claim intimate knowledge of student priorities even though they are annually elected by less than one-tenth of the student body. But determining priorities will mean nothing if SA does not act to ensure that there will be more than enough time for the Student Assembly to scrutinize the budgets next time around, even if it means holding budget hearings every day for an entire month. If SA is to regain some measure of viability and become truly representative of students, drastic now. changes are in order '"Washington rapidly, the device automatically shouts “pull up, pull up,” and flashes a red “Terrain” sign in the College Press Service pilot’s face.

But when the spectators become part of and influence those forms, they deserve to have the lens focused on them. Smile, you're on Candid Camera. Let's put it another way. Some people think that “art," "entertainment," and "aesthetic experience," et al, can be measured in pounds and ounces, dollars and cents, hours, minutes and seconds. ("Let's see now. I spent $7.00 for this ticket, and Van Morrison played for a total of about an hour and ten minutes, not counting exits and entrances, that's 70 into $7.00, carry the ten, that's ten hm. Was it cents a minute or $1.00 per ten minutes — worth it?"). A cappella The Persuasions, a five man a cappella group, opened the show. It is a credit to their talent that the crowd actually got into them. It's not easy to maintain interest with nothing but voices and a headliner like Van looming in the distance. They started their act by explaining and performing the roots of their kind of a cappella: gospel and blues emanating from the cotton fields and the chain gangs, then followed through to the most recent manifestation: the songs of the heavily vocal oriented groups from Mercury and Motown. Between the five of them, they covered all the musical bases; Jimmy Hayes, the bass, Jayotis Washington singing fref lance falsetto, Jerry Lawson and Herb Rhoad doing the rhythm section and Joseph Russell on lead. There were out-of-tune moments, but they were very infrequent, especially considering the demanding nature of their performance. Although the Persuasions sang in a variety of styles, they seemed most at home inside the '50's and early '60's stuff; doing songs like "The Ten Commandments of Love" and "Beauty's Only Skin Deep," they were at their tightest and seemed to be enjoying it the most. The set was very well timed, performed with few mistakes and a great deal of polish and energy. the sound itself contorted his face and body. But as soon as he was silent, his face assumed a blank, mask-like expression. Where was all that emotion coming from? Was he an instrument, too, being played by some other, larger force? Sometimes Van's voice was so powerful that it seemed out of kilter with the thin back-up. It needed the matching power of a much larger band. Morrison is a complex and sophisticated musician/songwriter. Unfortunately, the songs of his that become most popular are the ones with the best or the catch phrases: "Domino," "Brown-Eyed Girl," etc. Even more unfortunately, although the audience was enthusiastic and wildly applauded everything he did, they seemed to lack interest in his more subtle stuff. As a nobody seemed to recognize (or matter of fact, acknowledge) anything he did. Actually, there was only one thing on most people's minds, and no matter what songs he performed and no matter how good they were, some schmuck had to yell out "MOONDANCE" at the beginning and end of every song. by thr who Thr >f Mr thr*' gggrrrRRRRrrr . . Just as it was beginning to get exciting "MOONDANCE!" Two bars later, the song was over. . - Moondance After that. Van stuck to the simpler stuff that people could more easily "get into." "Wild Nights," "I've Been Working," a moderate tempo blues. Playing harmonica and sax the same way he sings, unique, gut noises, wails, erratic but intensely exciting melody patterns: seemed to me he had pegged the crowd. Yes, it was great, hot stuff the take your drums, ba ba CHOW, be bop a CHOW hands out of my pockets/you won't find nothing there .." and everyone was up and dancing BUT. The intellectual, the subtle, abandoned to a degree to the gut emotional is that what he had planned? We'll never — " - . .. . — know. Van ended with a new song, "It's Not The Twilight Zone." It was beautifully staged and a change from the unshqwy quality of the rest of the act. Another mellow jazz number, the trio was perfect for it. The band played, black silhouettes against blue-purple backlighting. Van walked away from the mike and began to sing: "It's not the twilight zone . ." Without a mike, the raw power of his unamplified voice reached every ear. Astonishment. the scrim lights uplit Then he walked around the back him, he was a surreal being. Walked around to the piano, leaned on it, sang "... it's not the twilight zone .." int. Climbed up on the iano, lay down on it Ar . — . "In Hungary: 'Boouu'" After the intermission, a DJ came on to plug a few things and give the intro. It really is true, what Albert Brooks says: "NO crowd likes a DJ. It's the same all over the world. Even in Hungary: 'BOOUUU!'" So the crowd took some hostility out on him, and then the show finally got underway. After the band warmed themselyes and the crowd up with some uptempo boogie. Van came out. He looked strange; strangely out of place in a rock palace; simply dressed in no particular style; a windbreaker, hair shortish, a protest brown horn-rimmed glasses, tight bellbottoms singer from the early '60's? the little punk down the street? An economics major? Van Morrison? — Moondance Van had very sparse accompaniment this time around. A simple trio, composed of bass, drums and keyboards, the Caledonia Soul Express (Morrison records at Caledonia his Scottish Studios, publishes under Caledonia Music disturbing really the most was heritage, I assume), and this keyboards The man for me. about the thing presentation he had to be. was fantastic (I think it was Jeff Labes) Most of the time, he had to maintain both rhythm and lead. He was up to it, but I still can't help feeling that he could have been better still if there was a lead guitarist to take some of the pressure off. And Morrison's whole music trip is very dependent on dynamics, energy, the relationship of extremes. The trio worked fine on songs like "Who Was That Masked Man;" a slow mellow song with a falsetto vocal. But on certain numbers, the sound "Wild seemed to lack the expected and necessary drive Nights," especially, was very empty without the blaring brass section. - — - Moondance Something else that was very jarring but nevertheless fascinating was Van's delivery. When he sang, the power of carried his biggest hit like an albatross around his neck even to his grave I wonder if Van will have to suffer the same fate. The spectre of that goddamned song pervaded and limited his whole performance. — went to sleep ("hey, the piano mike, sang Van, wake up!"), suddenly grabbed “. . .it's not the twilight zone . . ." Someone yelled out "then it must be the ozone!" Van quipped, "... ozone cologne . . . it's not the twilight zone . . .," then slowly got up and leisurely pranced offstage. Moondance "Listen To the Lion" is a good example of the audience participation. "And all my love come tumbling down Listen to the lion inside of me." The song is a delicate interweaving of those two opposing themes: gentle love and the underlying violence. After the initial vocal exploration of the lyrics the gentle-sweet to harsh-searing to sullen and around song goes into an extended break. The back-up keeps playing the chords (as Van said, "this is a basic one-four with no sevenths"), and Van begins to growl (like a lion, of course). The no sevenths), and Van begins to growl (like a lion, of course). Teh song builds to an amazing crescendo given time.

"Gloria," and of course, "Moondance.""The crowd went crazy/as Tommy hit the (How'd ya stage." Were they finally satisfied? I think that ultimately, Van satisfied everyone. For the afficianados, a democratic selection about one song from every album, three or four from the new one of perhaps lesser known but still well loved songs ("Into The — — Mystic," Part of "Listen to the Lion," "Cul-De-Sac," etc.). For the rest, well, they finally got what they wanted. Did they want it so badly that they probably missed all the great stuff that went down before it? Did they get their money's worth? Van was great in spite of the audience.

This simple if uninteresting story, lifted from the pages of European history, is the tale of The Abdication. Simple as the film may be, every device at its creators' disposal is utilized in this most vivid and overwhelming depiction of sheer, numbing boredom. Not exactly what you might call action-packed, the film is, in fact, overwhelmingly tedious. Set in the seventeenth century, it spares no expense in capturing the oppressive monotony that seems to be the essence of the period. Most of the boredom is carried by the dialogue and the characterizations, while director Anthony Harvey amplifies the prevailing mood with an unerring sense for the banal, the inconsequential, the ponderous. An overwrought tracking shot here, a meaningless detail there no possibility is ignored in the pursuit of visual rigor - yu/ by Janice Simon Spectrum Arts Staff Scattered along the walls and seats of the auditorium, waiting to be grabbed up by over-zealous shoppers, were paintings, prints and small sculptures by a variety of creators. Pop, Op, Abstract, Realist, Minimal, and individual variants of these styles, flashed their familiar characteristic images at the viewer, seeming to say "Look at me" and "Buy me!" The layout seemed more like a discount store than an exhibition, but the price tags echoed Tiffany's, not Twin Fair. The Preview of the Member's Gallery Collection 74-75 at the Albright-Knox, revealed that art, along with everything else, has turned into a business and not a very fair one at that. A store-like atmosphere brought attention to the price tags and the status of a famous artist's name, rather than artistic qualities (or their lack). Very few of the works were hung up, the majority resting below knee-level on the floor, making the viewer who cared to study the works crouch uncomfortably Perhaps that was the whole point; no one was expected to study a piece, just to glance quickly and buy it up. A — mortis. In the final analysis, two things to the credit of The Abdication (now at the Evans and Holiday 6 theatres) must be noted; it is less than two hours long, and it is less painful than being run over by a truck. I especially enjoyed the part when I went to — Five-and-ten-hundred store But this is where the injustice lies: who can afford to dish out $4,500 for a painting or $650 for a print? Certainly not the average citizen. The price may be fair for the artist and for the New York galleries who established the prices and receive a good chunk for their commission, but they are not fair to the public. The small percentage who are wealthy can buy the works, but what about the middle- and lower-income groups? Don't they have the right to enjoy the experience of living with a work of art? Glancing at works in a museum is a totally different experience from having a piece of art in your home, where it becomes an essential part of your environment. And an actual work of art, that lives and breathes, gives off vibrations that dime-store reproductions could not begin to do. Is this experience to be reserved "for the rich only?" When contemporary artists turned to printmaking, where an original work of art of fine quality is created and processed in quantity, an answer to this problem seemed imminent. Editions are often made out in quantities of one or two hundred, allowing many individuals to purchase the same work. Unlike a reproduction, a print is the actual medium the artist uses to realize his ideas, and it is often hand-signed, with the entire process overseen by the artist. It is an actual, full-blooded work of art; not a dead facsimile. Unreasonable advantage Business has taken advantage of this situation by placing unreasonable price tags of $400 and up on the prints, creating an incredible profit if the artist sells all or even half of the edition. In an edition of 150, with each print averaging about $300, the artist stands to make $45,000! No wonder prints are becoming popular among artists and galleries. That's much more than an artist could make if he did just one painting. The injustice is incredible, for with those prices the average individual is left out, while the rich can gobble up the goods. If high quality prints by fine contemporary artists like those in the exhibit were priced in the $25 $50 range, more individuals could purchase them. The artists wouldn't lose money, but would profit. So would the spirit of the human race. Albright-Knox is to be commended for seeking a compromise to this problem by allowing individuals to rent a work for a small monthly rate ($4 $20). Vet, this privilege is reserved for members of the Gallery, and unless one is willing to pay the $25 ($12.50 for students) membership fee, the same problem and injustice arises again. The answer is not to be found at the Albright-Knox, but at the New York and Toronto galleries who establish the prices. If they would stop seeing just green cash in art and reduce the prices of prints, more people of all backgrounds could experience art the way it was meant to be experienced; as an integral part of one's environment and life. - — — — Kotr buy popcorn. — 'Mixed Company' David Even tt Middle-class comedy epic The night I attended a showing the new comedy Mixed Company, there were about 10 of other people in the entire theater. The management had apparently gotten nervous and had placed the movie as a second feature. The main feature was Skyjacked. a plane-disasterstewardess-pilot-lover picture that appeared somewhere between Airport and the current Airport 1975 and the theater people were cashing in on the latter's — success. They had a right to be nervous, though. Mixed Company is the kind of film in which women go to bed beautifully coiffed, are never seen doing housework, and manage to solve crucial problems while the doorbell rings. It deals with a middle-class married couple a loud-mouthed, seemingly but-a-good-guy-underneath-it-all basketball coach (Joseph Bologna), his compassionate, understanding spouse (Barbara Harris) and the adjustments and difficulties involved when they decide to adopt troubled children (They already have three children of their own). When I became aware of the fact that Melville Shavelson (responsible for such movie gems as The Seven Little Foys, A New Kind of Love, Cast a Giant Shadow, etc.) had directed this film, I didn't expect much, but I really wasn't prepared for this epic-sized Brady Bunch either. Billed as “a grownup family comedy," the film is at a level of sophistication at which profanity and nudity are used for cute — unfeeling shock value a shower room scene, for instance, has the camera dwell on the naked backside of a mannequin-like blonde jock. Shavelson tips us off that a kid has problems by having him enter the film framed by metal bars. He also uses such antiquated devices as slow-motion and a sportscaster on TV "unintentionally” commenting on the action of a scene. And the cinematography has a blurry orange quality that makes the entire film look as though it were shot through a jar of peach jelly. — - BUSES TO THE HOCKEY GAME Saturday, Nov. 9th leave at 6:15 from Tower end of Norton Hall or Ellicott {-~The LARGEST-*—.

Prodigal Sun �Come back, Shirley Booth Sterling's 'Sheba'—stunned stage at any moment, by Ranch Schnur As Doc (the puritanical chiropractor whom Lola Arts Editor When Shirley Booth and the Theatre Guild first presented Come Back, Little Sheba William Inge's first play to be produced in New York the new York Drama Critics' Circle proclaimed the author "the most promising new playwright of 1950," a sentiment that was to be echoed three years after that initial success by the committee which awarded him the Pulitzer Prize for Picnic, his second effort. Now, 24 years later, Sheba is just as powerful a — — , recreation of loneliness, desolation, and the frustration of a lower-middle-class who once aspired to better things. But while the play itself is stunning, the cast of Studio Arena's new production, from the semi-hysterical Jan Sterling on down, seems mostly stunned. The play deals with the efforts of Lola Delaney, a frumpy, middle-aged, naive Midwestern housewife, to somehow keep herself going in a world in which she has no place. While her husband Doc, a college drop-out who drowned his medical dreams in alcohol and a career as a chiropractor, spends his days at the office and his evenings at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, Lola looks to the milkman, the mailman ("If you don't have something for me today. I'll have to get me a new postnian"), and the boyfriends of her pretty boarder Marie for an antidote to her Marcel Marceau If you think there's more to mime than Marcel Marceau, then you'll enjoy Mummenxhanz, a Swiss mime-masque theatre group performing Sunday evening, November 10, at 8:30 p.m. in the auditorium of Amherst Junior High School. The appearance of this unusual group is sponsored by the University's Office of Cultural Affairs and the UUAB Drama Committee. Coming out of the classic "white face" tradition, yet realizing its limitations, the group seeks to break the convention of white face the concentration on facial expression and creation of the illusion of — specific objects. The Delaney's only child was born dead very after their shotgun marriage, and Lois tries to lavish her unclaimed affections on every living creature who ventures within a mile of her usually empty house. Even her beloved puppy Sheba, presumably the least likely to get fed up with this slightly batty busybody, deserts her. But just as she can't stop dragging deliverymen into her living room for a cold glass of water and a friendly little chat, Lola refuses to stop calling Sheba the symbol of her lost youth, lost baby, lost hopes to come back — — home once more. Lola is one of Inge’s most heart-nsnding creations. Her unhappiness nearly paralyzes her. When Mrs. Coffman (the self-righteously fertile neighbor who swears by her maxim that "being busy is being happy") surveys the results of the woman's first attempt in years to clean the house, she exclaims, "I didn't know you had it in you! I always said to myself, 'That Mrs. Delaney, she's a real Planning a gala dinner for good-for-nothing.' Marie's fiance (ultimately a failure, like virtually everything she and Doc attempt), Lola confides, "I thought Td set my table real early . . that way I can look at it all day." - " . Over-energetic Such occasional spurts of manic energy are necessary to keep depression from overwhelming her but Jan Sterling's shrill, frenetic Lola, entirely who can just barely sit still for 30 consecutive seconds, seems to overstate the case. Her childishly extreme romanticism comes across very well when Doc (whom she patronizes and yet worships, treating him as god and infant simultaneously) hands her a card during a begged-for card trick, she studies it as if it were her first love letter but the rest of her neurosis is incredibly overblown. Nervous, unpretentious little Lola suddenly appears as a high-pitched hysteric who seems ready to fly off the Three consecutive offerings from the Department of Music this weekend: Today at 8 p.m., the first Composers Workshop concert of the *74/'75 academic year will take place — Hall.

The scenes all have a tendency to run down at the end; the actor speaking the final line seems almost to fade out, and the lights go down before we have a chance to react. Blackouts for scene changes are, of course, a necessary fact of theatre life, and we learn to ignore them; but hearing words swallowed while their speaker disappears gives us an annoying feeling of disjointedness which certainly does not help the overall sense of a play. Studio Arena's Sheba is worthwhile because Inge's play is more than that. He can easily transcend the mistakes of everyone else involved but why — should he have to?

Mummenscham, whose name derives from medieval mummers, wears masks and flexible body wrappings in their act. One never sees the performers' faces. Wha they produce has been compared to Cubism and the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch and Paul Klee. Widely acclaimed for its humor and unconventional approach to an ancient art, the program focuses on human development from the single cell to the primates, and on human communication. The group makes its own masks, props and costumes, using pastry, clay, plaster, paper, foam, wood and even oatmeal. At one point they attach slide puzzles to the masks which allow them to change expressions with the move of a puzzle piece. They also use scratch pad masks, enabling them to draw different expressions on one another, in what they call a "comic strip technique." Appealing to all ages, the highly original form of Mummenscham's program first achieved fame outside of Switzerland in 1971 at the International Festival of Mime in Prague. The following year they performed during the famed summer festivals in Avignon, France, and in 1973 toured for the first time in North America.

Dave Mason-Robin Trower This Saturday night, UUAB will be presenting artists who have their roots in old, established supergroups: Dave Mason and Robin Trower. Mason started out with Traffic, and is responsible for some of their most well known and loved classics: "Feeling Alright" and "Perly Queen," for example. By now, he is equally well known for his solo attempts; most notably Alone Together. Mason has been in a creative slump for a long time (about three years,) but it appears that he has finally come out of it. He has just released a promising new album (see Records ) and will probably perform the new material in concert, as well as some of the old two favorites. Robin Trower built his reputation as the lead guitarist of Procol Harum. Trower was with Procol in their early days, when they were at their most brilliant and creative (ie, their first three Ips.). Trower was already a stunning blues guitarist, but his Studio Arena meets voucher cancellation The proverbial Catch-22 has apparently resurfaced, and is now the Studio Arena Theatre. attempting to capture another victim The web in which Studio Arena is entangled was spun by what started out to be a valiant attempt at providing low-price tickets for community and student groups to cultural events through an organization called Arts Development Services (ADS). The discounts were good for a variety of cultural performances including dance, theatre, and music. Any person included in one of the groups outlined by ADS could purchase ticket vouchers at savings of up to 50 per cent. The vouchers are later turned in by the participating organizations to ADS for reimbursement. — Too good to last The program was a great success, but problems arose when ADS was swamped by voucher requests and could no longer meet the demand For Studio Arena this meant that people who did not already have vouchers could not attend performances at reduced prices. To remedy the situation, Sandy Klein, who is in charge of audience development at the Theatre, is offering a reduced price package deal for students. Uder the plan, tickets for the seven remaining shows of the season will cost $17.50, a reduction from the original price of $30 to $40. The available seats are for evening shows and are located in Section C, the first seven rows toward the sides. Matinee tickets are sold on a general admission basis. Ticket information can be obtained at the Norton Union and innovative use of noise and dissonance within the context of the group are what made him truly unique. Since leaving the group, he has chosen to become one of a group of musicians dedicated to carrying on the Hendrix tradition. But unlike the (for example. Mahogany Rush), who merely imitate, Trower has taken the forms Hendrix created and continued to explore their artistic possibilities. rest This is the first concert UUAB has presented at the Century this semester.

The arrangements on this album are distinctively Mason's the same Mason of Headkeeper yet many and Alone Together of the songs could almost have been written by Stevie Winwood. Mason's music is a mixture of rock, jazz and blues, the latter — - two tempered by the former. Rock is the medium, the channel, the filter for Mason. There is a regular pulsating rhythm; a fast and moving beat artistically manipulated into the distinctiveness of his sound; a brilliant fusion of the electrifying Which brings me to Mason's ability at guitar. His finesse is just incredible. At once so tight, so flowing. It's the kind of quality you can pick up on through careful listening, and which is to be found on a good number of the cuts on this album, but it's something else altogether to watch. Utterly captivating. You've really got to see him play in order to fully appreciate the mastery of the man. (The opportunity will be at hand Saturday night at the Century Theatre.) Mason may be a master craftsman when it comes to rock, but his soul lives amid the blues and the jazz which emerge every so often from behind the melody line and the steady beat. And when they do, you can really see what Mason is about and where his genius lies. Back to the album. If you've liked Mason's music up to now, you'll like this, too. It's perhaps a little softer, a little mellower than some of his others, and certainly not as intense as Headkeeper, for tension of the isolated staccato with the warm sensuality found in the flowing melody. This manipulation is accomplished in part by Mason's flawlessly controlled vocals and the example. ''Pearly Queen" might penetrating clearness of his voice. be a little out of place here.

For Mason or for anyone like him, the jazz and blues, although there, remain pretty much below surface level. The very balance of elements which makes Mason's music so distinctively subtle and excellent seems also ultimately restrictive and limiting to the genius therein. And I know it's there, because I've seen it at work at live performances, and heard it, insnatches, on this and other albums. Perhaps I'm being over-critical, because from anyone else this new album would be more than just acceptable, but I have the feeling that Mason's got more to give than he does here.

Some notable examples in the last few years are Harold Melvin and the Blue-Notes, Freda Payne, and The Main Ingredient, among others. But not the Philadelphian Stylistics. Originally produced by the near-genius of Thom Bell, and now by Hugo and Juigi, the Stylistics have managed to score with hit after hit with basically the same formula. Their lead singer, Russell Thompkins, has one of the best falsettos this side of the great Temptations' Damon Harris. Thompkins uses his voice to glide and shriek over the lushness of the complex instrumental tracks, and he shines on Heavy, the group’s second album without Thom Bell, with nine tracks of soft, sweet, and middle-of-the road soul music. The single from the album, "Heavy Failin' Out," is probably the best single the Stylistics have ever put out. It's an up-tempo number with the words "Heavy Failin' Out" repeated over and over by Thompkins, and it's the kind of song that grows on you after each listening. The length of the song, five minutes and 18 seconds, is unusually long for a soul single, but it never lags; in fact, it seems to get better and better as it continues. "Heavy Failin' Out" introduces for the first time on a Stylistics single the famous call and response technique used so successfully by Motown in the 1960's Thompkins' constant calling out of "heavy-y-y-y" and the response of the other members of the quintet results in a beautiful piece of harmony. The album also features the talents of the other members of the Stylistics more than any of their previous albums. In the past, only Thompkins, the lead singer, sang lead, but on this album on only five of the tracks does Thompkins sing a solo lead. The opening cut of the album (what I imagine was intended as a sort of followup to the million-selling disk of last summer, "You Make Me Feel Brand New"), "The Miracle," features the counter styles of Russell's falsetto and Airrion Love's rich baritone. The two voices, though vastly different in both range and style, manage to complement each other very well when they sing alternate verses. This album gets boring at times, however, and it seems fairly obvious that at least three tracks are just "filler cute," songs that were put together just to have enough material to put out an album, and "Heavy Failin' Out," "The Miracle," and they sound it. Three tunes "From The Mountain," are good single material, so the album will most likely be a big seller on the national charts. The closing song, "From the Mountain," is the group's first try at social comment since the epic classic of 1972, "People Make The World Go Round." "From The Mountain" is perfect for Thompkins, because his high voice sifts and slides through the lyrics beautifully. After listening to him for more than five years, I am still amazed by his voice. The album on the whole is good. Although some cuts are not up to Stylistics' the usual caliber, the good songs more than make up for the poor ones. The Stylistics seem to be just about nearing their peak both artistically and commercially, and all Stylistics' fans or just soul music lovers will find "Heavy Failin' Outt" well worth purchasing.

The new Harris poll on Nelson Rockefeller shows that 44 percent believe he should be confirmed, while 38 percent oppose the confirmation. But this statistic sits oddly near another one produced by the same poll of the very same people. Only 25 percent of those asked wanted to see Rockefeller become President, while 60 percent do not want him to occupy the White House. Why the contrast? People are willing (by a slim margin) to make a Vice President of the man they oppose (by a wide margin) for the presidency itself. Part of the pro-confirmation feeling may be more supportive of Ford, who did the nominating, than of Rockefeller, his nominee. Other misgivings may come from Rockefeller’s age. But most of them obviously derive from his money and that is not necessarily a foolish prejudce. I talked recently with one of the principal writers on the “America at Mid-Century” project put out by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund in the fifties. This writer had listed, among the given factors in some report or other, the privilege that great wealth grants certain men. Nelson Rockefeller summoned him the very next day after this report was submitted, kneaded his arm and his ego for a while in the Rockefeller manner, and then asked, with great sincerity: “But tell me how could you possibly claim that wealth grants privilege in our society? Let me tell you, I have a great deal of wealth myself, and it has not made things easier for me The horrible thing is that he believed it. He said something like this in his report to the Senate committee on his nomination. The rich like to believe that their riches just impose extra burdens; this soothes the conscience of secularized Calvinists like the Rockefellers. But once they have divorced themselves from reality in that respect, other self-deceptions follow naturally. The argument that rich men should rule since they cannot be bribed has been around for a long time. It was often used in Victorian England, and Gilbert Chesterton answered that the very rich cannot be bribed because they were born bribed. They were born expecting certain powers, conveniences, influence. It colors their mode of thinking from the very outset. It would be as foolish to say the wealthy are all vicious as to say Fitzgerald was that mere poverty insures virtue. But the very rich are right on this, and Hemingway wrong different. They do not think as others do. They may feel wider social obligations. They certainly have wider ties to the economic structure. In Rockefeller’s case, wealth has enabled a man of mediocre talents to surround himself with expert yes-men and accomplish a great deal.

Guest Opinion by the Spartacus Youth League The initiation of large-scale busing to integrate Boston’s public schools last month was met by a reactionary mobilization ranging from anti-busing marches to outright mob terror. During the first week of school, several dozen black children were injured by shattered glass and rocks thrown at the school buses by white youths in the largely Irish, working-class nighborhood of South Boston. Symbolic of the frenzied atmosphere in some white neighborhoods was the friendly reception given the murderous scum of the Klu Klux Klan. While many adults remained on the sidelines, hundreds of South Boston youth responded eagerly to the Klansmen’s call for whites to organize against “forced race mixing.” Some mob action has already occurred with the assault on a lone black man in South Boston, Jean-Louis Andre Yvon. Yvon was driving in his car when he was attacked by a mob who dragged him from his car and beat him. This action could have easily led to a lynching. This ominous development poses sharply the need for a mass mobilization by labor and black organizations to protect the black children being bused into racially tense areas. Although totally inadequate even as a solution to school segregation, busing is at least a minimal attempt to allow the black poor a share in the benefits of white American society. Moreover, busing has become a symbol in the struggle against black oppression in general. If the anti-busing campaign is successful, if the Hicks, Wallaces and Fords win on this question, it will greatly encourage the forces of racist reaction to turn the calendar back before 1954 at every level. The prevailing social climate in this country contains the potential for race war, in which (given their relative social power) blacks would be the principal victims. It is only at the point of production that black/white relations are not generally hostile and where division of American society. While the Spartacus League/SYL supports busing regardless of popular opposition to it, it would be moralistic idealism, not scientific socialism, to believe whites can be won over simply by appeals to democratic principles. White workers and petty bourgeois will accept busing only when they believe it does not attack their material interests. Socialists must demand free highei education for all with an adequate stipend to cover living expenses for every student. Free universal higher education will not eliminate those anti-busing forces that reflect pure and simple racist bigotry, but it would fundamentally undercut the anti-busing sentiment arising out of the struggle over limited educational resources. Given the geographical concentration of blacks and whites, busing, even under the best of circumstances, could not produce racially balanced schools. For example, only 30 percent of New York City school children are classified as non-Puerto Rican whites. The rigid and many-sided separation of blacks and whites in American society must be attacked at its mosfTjfatent level ghettoization. Socialists must demand the construction of low-rent, racially integrated quality public housing. Many white families would show a very different attitude toward having black neighbors if it meant they could pay a third of their present rent for a comparable or even better dwelling. On the other hand, hardened bigots who insist on living in their exclusive neighborhoods would then be paying dearly for that privilege. Defense of racial integration is a principled question for Marxists. The liberal politicians, however, have proven themselves to be impotent in this crisis. After first postponing school opening for a week. Mayor Kevin White repeatedly called for public calm. In the face of the anti-busing campaign White has lobbied the District Court, which ordered the busing, for modifications of the plan. NAACP, The leaders of the pro-busing forces have relied Freedom House, the churches, etc. solely on the courts, legislature, and police. The liberal strategy of reliance on the bourgeois state for protection means reliance on its professional racists and strikebreakers, the police. The Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association has made clear through editorials and articles in its paper. Pax Centurion that the police stand not with the defenseless black children. The insistence of a BPPA attorney that policemen could not be prosecuted for refusing “in good conscience” to arrest these rock-throwing racists is evidence of their position and can only encourage the white vigilantes. The NAACP’s call for federal marshals is simply an appeal to another level of the capitalist state. The deaths and beatings of many civil rights workers in the South during the 1960’s are eloquent testimony to the “effectiveness” of federal marshals. A Boston ringed with artillery and patrolled by tanks can only fan the flames of racist tension. Furthermore, heavily armed troops are guaranteed to be used against any independent black or labor mobilization in defense of black school children. Instead of relying on local or federal government for protection, black people and all working people must depend on their own organizations for defense. The Spartacist League advocates the formation of a bi-racial defense force, organized by black and community groups and the labor unions, to protect the buses and maintain order in the schools. The flying squads of UAW members who recently defended the home of a black family being harassed in an all-white neighborhood of Detroit can point the way to the formation of such a defense force. - - - , �Uj B»b Protest rail Thousands rally in NY for Palestinian’s independence Supporters want to free Puerto Rico corporations control 85 percent industry in Puerto Rico according to the Solidarity Day by Paul Krehbiel of all Contributing Editor thousand people into New York City’s Twenty jammed American public is very susceptible to such phrases, Madison Square Garden Saturday and he stressed the need for counter-propaganda. to demand independence for of Puerto Rico.

With a population of four Rico’s million, Puerto unemployment rate is 30 percent, and low wages and poor living conditions prevail.

Whatever effect the declining economy had in determining the election’s outcome is subject to 9onsiderable speculation. “Watergate and the price of hamburger shaped the outcome,” claimed Francis Sargent, the Republican Governor of Massachusetts who was defeated Tuesday. It would seem that Americans are more susceptible to change when the economy is in bad shape. Had either Watergate or the economy been the sole factor, the Republicans may not have suffered a loss of the same proportion. Generally speaking, Republicans who spoke out against Watergate and/or served their constituents well were re-elected. Changes since 1972 There have been many political changes since November, 1972. The Republican outlook for a bright future was depicted in Kevin Phillips’ The Emerging Republican Majority. The Democrats, meanwhile, were down and out. But in the past two years, Republican fortunes have deteriorated while the Democrats appear united and on the move, at least for the time being. There are two interesting trends in the nation today. First, there is a decreasing sense among Americans of their own efficiency and the efficiency of their government. JOIN NOW — 831-2145 GRADUATES < MFC UNDER FACULTY/STAFF GRADUATES 1 YR.

In fact, due to the professional sports expansion movement of the early ’70’s, Buffalo boosters now have three first-place teams to root on, the first time this has happened since the arrival of the basketball Braves and the hockey Sabres in 1970. A look at the latest standings for the NFL, NBA and NHL reveal the three Buffalo teams are firmly entrenched atop their respective divisions. As recently as the fall of 1971, Buffalo was the laughing stock of the nation, known around the country as the ‘city of losers’ and the ‘armpit of the east.’ New York’s Queen representatives Don and Luce Craig along with Rick Dudley and rookie Peter McNab, have come into their Ramsey, days City killers penalty by Dave Hnath ContributingEditor firmly were entrenched, all right, but solidly at the bottom of the standings. Sabres’ comeback The Sabres were the first ones to move out of the cellar. Referred to around the NHL as the Gil Perrault show, GM Punch Imlach’s astute drafting and trading landed the Sabres a spot in the NHL playoffs in 1972-73. Racked by dissension, injuries and death, the Sabres missed the playoffs last year. However, a year later, it appears that the youthful Sabres have gained the experience necessary to propel them to the top of the newly-created Adams Division of the Wales Conference of the NHL. Perrault’s French Connection, with Rick Martin and Rene Robert, no longer dominates the Sabres scoring. Premier own as scorers. The defense, severely crippled by Jim Schoenfeld’s season long back miseries and Tim Horton’s death in a car crash last year, was bolstered with the addition of young star Jocelyn Guevremont, but is still relatively weak. Most of the Sabres’ 16 points thus far have come by outscoring the opponents. The return of veteran goalie Roger Crozier strengthens the defense that much more. Braves favored The Braves, on the other hand, are favored by many to dominate the NBA’s Atlantic Division, Boston’s Dave Cowens notwithstanding. General Manager Eddie Donovan and Coach Jack Ramsey have built the Braves into the league’s most exciting team and its highest scoring. In Bob McAdoo, the Braves have one of the league’s major offensive threats. Donovan has surrounded Buffalo’s version of the ‘Big Mac’ with the finest young team to hit the NBA in many years. At forward, Donovan’s slick trading brought Jim McMillan (from Los Angeles) and Gar Heard (from Chicago). McMillan is probably the only player who can score 20 points per game without anyone noticing he’s even been on the court. Heard ranked among the league leaders in both scoring and blocked shots last year. Once the weak spot, the Braves’ guard corps is now one of the deepest in the league. Who else in the league could lose a guard like Ernie DiGregorio, last year’s rookie of the year and leader in assists and of Oci<3 by Dave Hnath The Wizard showed a slight improvement last week, scoring on 9 of his 13 picks to run his season log to 67-37 (.644).

They’ve even added a streaking Buffalo to their helmets, a symbol of their move ahead in place of the old standing bison. Former Coach Lou Saban has returned, and in the throes of the Buffalo youth movement, has built one of the top young offenses in the league. The Bills have THE top running back in football O.J. - Simpson. However, the key to the Bills success this season has been their passing attack. Led by surprising sophomore pro Joe Ferguson, Buffalo’s balanced attack has gotten rave notices everywhere. Ferguson’s emergence as a top-flight passer should let some of the pressure off of O.J., as most defenses the Bills face are the “Juice.” Buffalo’s three leaders all have youth. Perrault factor in common Martin for the Sabres, McAdoo DiGregorio for the Braves, Simpson keyed to stopping one and — and and Ferguson for the Bills, all rank among the top young stars in their respective leagues and figure to be around for a long time. No longer the ‘city of losers,’ people just might begin referring to Buffalo as the sports mecca of the nation. Volleyball Slow to start but still unbeat In I heir most exciting contest so far this year, Buffalo's volleyball team defeated Genesee Community College Monday night at Clark Hall. All five games were played in the best three out of five series. Coach Cindy Anderson, comparing this contest earlier matches this season, said, "This was a much better game on both sides of the court.” Both teams played evenly in the first game until Genesee scored 7 straight points and won. The Buffalo team played poorly at the beginning of the second game and fell behind 10-4. But Sue Pels’ exceptional serving sparked a comeback, as she rattled off seven straight points. The third game was the closest of the match. Neither team built up a lead of more than five points. One minute before the time limit would have ended play, Buffalo won it, 16-14. to Ups and downs ‘We’re noted for having our ups and downs, and this was one of our downs,” said co-captain Joanne Wroblewski, commenting on the fourth game. The Bulls stood around and watched Genesee trounce them in only five serves. In the last game, Buffalo played tight defense and aggressive offense to win, remaining undefeated in 6 matches. Wroblewski was outstanding as usual. “I played one of my best games. I think I had the most spikes I’ve ever had,” she said. Freshman Shelly Kupl set up a lot of good plays, while Pels contributed on both offense and defense. Commenting on the complaints about the refereeing during the match, Anderson said: “There were questionable calls, but on both sides of the net. The officials are getting better, though.” “Genesee has a strong team, so this is the first time we’ve really had to come together,” she added. Looking ahead to powerful Brockport State, Anderson said, “They’re tough competition, but if we play well, they’re beatable.” - MI-4400 - Ml iliwul Aira. •* Hny, MM* - - masters Gabriel and Jurgensen.

One form, the intramural level, is something the and is flourishing. The other, University has intercollegiate football, we have not had for four years. The differences between the two are obvious; value judgements about them are much harder to Spectrum make. The intramural football program experienced the first year significant growth three years ago that the University did not have a varsity team almost as if it were taking up some of the slack. Since that time at least 50 teams and over 500 players have competed annually, in both men’s and — - coed leagues, making this among the most popular programs on campus (this fall’s figures were 84 teams and nearly 1000 players). Instead of the 70 or 80 big, brawny scholarship players and several hundred student fans, intramurals directly involve all of the nearly 1000 participants. That’s 1000 students, actively participating, playing, having fun in a game situation that is as competitive or non-competitive as they want to make it. The program also employs students as referees. There is a lot to be said for all that. Buffalo varsity football was a very big thing in its time. Several players, including all-time all-pro Jerry Philbin, went from Rotary Field to professional gridirons. The year before the sport was dropped, the Bulls placed seventh behind Penn State in the balloting for the Lambert Trophy, symbolic of the tops in the East. That last year there was a game on regional television, at which the American Broadcasting Company refused to show the Buffalo band’s Peace-oriented half-time show. The freshman team that year was undefeated, having clobbered teams like Syracuse and Army. However, this rosy picture was far from the whole scene. The fact is that the team was not drawing well. Unlike the squads at places like Ohio State and Southern California, where a profit can be made on football through gate receipts and television revenue, Buffalo’s team, financially burdened with a lot of scholarship players, was taking a horrendous loss. A $400,00 deficit had piled up through the years and there was no hope of making it up. The only logical step was to get out of the football business altogether. At the same time-that football was losing large amounts of money, it was spending a majority ot the total athletic budget ($140,000 out of $250,000. or more than all the other intercollegiates receive today). It was also choking off the rest of the program in terms of facilities. Buffalo’s very limited athletic facilities were not adequate. What now serves as a locker room for all of Buttalo’s varsity teams, was. during the football years, exclusively a tootball locker room. What used to be the locker room for the other teams now serves as an equipment room for all gymnasium equipment. Don’t even ask where they stored all the equipment before. You can forget about what it would cost and the fact that we don’t have a coaching staff. Until such time as the physical education and athletic facility is built on the Amherst Campus, it appears that there is simply no physical space for football. This is not to say that the University should not by all rights have a team. Just that it is prohibitive to do so at the present time. It’s also a political impossibility at a time when the Student Assembly is attempting to cut rather than increase the allocation to athletics. However, it the movement to bring back the sport receives the kind of widespread support that it very well might, then the money for it is justified. That would be an interesting case indeed. 6"#*' Mail Room position now available, for collage student who is looking for extra money. Hours will be 2 6 Some lifting- suburban daily.

Although Dr. Schindler has voted with the student is best for the representatives many times in the past, he has been a “swing vote” in many cases. “I have a great deal at stake in this,” Dr. Schindler maintained. Board members have a “very serious obligation, and the potential liabilities” are great, he said. Anthony Lorenzetti, associate vice-president for Student Affairs, also opposed any revision in the FSA Board that would “change the balance of power.” He does not see a need for enlarging the group. Dr. Lorenzetti claims -that the FSA “provides students with what they need and want.” Any issue FSA does not properly handle should be brought forward and dealt with, he said. While Dr. Lorenzetti does not feel students are less responsible than Administrators, “my accountability to the University is different than a student’s. There is an unwillingness to prosecute students,” he said, which could cause the University “to lose a lot of money .” Attica forum Fighting against oppression, racism by Howard L. Greenblatt Spectrum Staff Writer The UB Attica Support Committee sponsored a lively forum before about 200 persons Monday afternoon in the Fillmore Room featuring two of the indicted Attica Brothers. Dealing with the question, “Who are the Attica Brothers? Dalou Asahi explained the far-reaching and complex nature of the Attica experience; “When we lopk af the Attica Brothers, we must look at the black people who have been slaves throughout history, the black brothers and sisters who are now in prison, the Japanese people during World War 11, police brutality and flagrant genocide in order to re-evaluate the common connotation,” he said. Under indictment for alleged murder, Dalou faces possible life imprisonment. The prosecution of the Attica Brothers, Dalou claims, “is a legal lynching, not using bullets, but using the law.” The Attica Brothers are “second,• third and fourth class members of an already victimized class of prisoners. Victimized by who? By the legal arm of the United States government!” he claimed. Examining the plight of American blacks in its historical context, Dalou observed that “Washington and Jefferson all had slaves . . . there has been no consideration of Third World people. Even the Founding Fathers, Dalou feels, “were in violation of the law in order to protect the rich people.” “We’re not pleading for you to cry and ” lean on our shoulder. Attica already happened,” Dalou continued. “Attica could happen again, and we have to prevent it from happening again. It will be in our own goddamned country and it will happen again,” he warned, and those who fail to recognize the situation “are either unconscious of our own oppression, or are simple pigs.” The crowd listened attentively as Dalou spoke of the prison conditions which result in such situations as the Attica massacre. The constant political harassment of prisoners encourages such uprisings, Dalou explained. Prisoners, for example, were once forbi den to greet one another with the popular “Power to the People” slogan. Prison authorities calimed that such rhetoric is “inflammatory,” he said. And when the clenched fist salute become popular among black prisoners, the gesture was deemed “insubordinate” by prison authorities and also forbidden. “The law states that prisoners must work for the state in which they are imprisoned,” Dalou pointed out, adding that prisoners at Attica are “forced” to manufacture the desks, bookshelves and lockers which are found in most state facilities. At Auburn, the prisoners manufacture license plates. “What the hell kind of training is making license plates?” Dalou asked. “How is this rehabilitation? Simple bullshit!” he exclaimed. Negativism Even more disturbing, Dalou said, is that prison makes the inmate concentrate on his own negative side. “There’s nothing to do but talk about life styles prior to imprisonment. As a first offender in prison, all 1 learned from the mistakes of others was how to stick up, burglarize, cut dope and sell it.” To examine prison brutality and torture we need not look only at Attica, Dalou said, “but at any prison.” A man comes out of prison “in three possible ways either repressed, politicized, or dead.” “$8.6 million has been appropriated to the prosecution of the Attica defendents,” Dalou said, sarcastically, while only “$750,000 has been set aside for the defense.” So far, he alleged, none of this money has been turned over to the defense. Citing the humiliating and dehumanizing way in which the defendents have been treated, Dalou said that before entering the courtroom, defendants must “strip off clothing, stand naked, spread their legs, and lean over.” As a further precautionary measure, he noted, they must run their hands through their hair, “to make sure we don’t hide guns in our afros.” — Fair trial impossible Talking about the “wave of crime” that has permeated the highest levels of government during recent years, Dalou remarked, “1 don’t want Rockefeller indicted. It’s not the man Rockefeller, it’s the position. Dalou affirmed the need for maintaining prisons, saying, “What would —Kristlch Brother Dalou Asahi we do with Nixon and Agnew?” Dalou felt that a fair trial of the Attica brothers is impossible. “You’re not gonna find a jury who can recall what each brother said.” Even if a computer were used to sort out all of the evidence and testimony, “we’d still be found guilty, because who the hell Is gonna program the computer?” The members of an ideal “fair jury” should be attuned to the social, economic and environmental life styles of the inmates, he maintained. “Who the hell can do that? Only prisoners. We need prisoners on the jury to get a fair trial.” But by law, an individual who has been convicted of a crime may not sit on a jury. —continued on page 10 — �Money matters Employed graduate students working to protect interests and with the New York State United Teachers Union to determine the best form of representation. by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor The Graduate Student Employees Union (GSEU) at the State University at Buffalo has begun a pctetion drive to protect members’ jobs, increase their stipends and grants, and win additional benefits. Made up of graduate students who fullfil certain work requirements for a stipend, the GSEU (originally the Graduate Student Union) has progressed substantially from its first meeting last spring. Members have come together primarily over economic concerns. Most teaching and research fellowships have remained at their 1965 levels, while the “cost of living has gone up 35 per cent,” GSEU organizers say. In addition, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service was auditing many graduate assistants, and “many were unable to retain their tax-exempt status,” it is claimed. Two conferences were held over the summer, along with continuing weekly meetings, and the union organizing group now has members from 17 of the 80 University departments. As a result of the second conference, six research committees were formed to study employed students’ income; working conditions; quality public eduation; benefits; departmental operations; and organizational structure. A detailed questionnaire to determine the situation of funded graduate students in each department; the presentation of union structures and steps in organizing a campus union; and recognition by the Graduate Student Association (GSA) as a GSA club, have been a few of the union’s accemplishments. Meetings have also been held with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees For job security, Mr. Peterson said the students “must demand contracts to make clear job requirements,” forcing the employer to show “just cause” (failure to meet said requirements) for dismissal. “If we have done our work, then the burden of proof justifying our being fired must be placed on our employer,” he said. Since many philosophy students recognize the limitations of these gains within any single department, many support the unionization drive. Mr. Peterson and other organizers anticipate “at least 90 percent support for the formation of a bargaining unit.” There is also growing support for unionization among students in the natural sciences and engineering. David Adler, a graduate student in Biology at Roswell Park, said, “The state tells us, in effect, that we don’t have to do anything for our grants,” but explained that employed students do quite a bit. Most graduate students have to sign a statement attesting that any “patentable and we do discovery is not my personal property” sometimes make discoveries,” he indicated. In addition to carrying out much of the basic research at the University, “our thesis work is supposed to come up with an original contribution” in its particular field of study, he added. Philosophy Department In a number of departments, graduate student clubs have already made efforts to solve problems in departmental operations and work responsibilities. The Graduate Philosophy Association, for example, is attempting to revise the ranking and evaluation of students, the distribution of funds and teaching assignments, and admissions policy. One important goal of graduate students has been to separate questions of academic evaluation from those of Authorization drive The GSEU is taking authorization cards to various funding. The Association is currently trying to secure a who are guarantee “of at least four years’ aid for those departments to have students register their interest in a admitted with aid and who maintain normal progress,” union. Those interested can contact a union organizer. explained Dick Peterson, an organizer in the Philosophy When 50 percent of the TA’s, RA’s, and GA’s sign the cards, the union will notify Pres. Ketter of its intent to Department. While these questions await a departmental vote, Mr. bargain with the State administration over stipends, Peterson maintained that even if the students’ position is working conditions and benefits. At this point, the Public Employees Relations Board accepted, “these new rules will not insure money for all for (PERB) will hold hearings to determine what types of jobs qualified graduate students nor adequate amounts any.” But he added that they will help “avoid competition are to be covered by the bargaining unit. Within 30 days among students and eliminate an added source of friction after the end of the hearings, an election will be held in which employed graduate students can vote for or against with the faculty.” He explained that the department and its faculty have the union. The GSEU encourages all funded graduate students to the power to make such guarantees only as long as the attend a general meeting on Friday, Nov, 8 to hear a support lines are not shifted to other departments or the federal the state government, speaker from the New York State United Teachers, learn simply taken away by legislature, the SUNY Administration, local administration more about the local organizing, and pick up authorization or even the bureaucracy of the faculty divisions of the cards.

Fillmore Room — Norton Hall �Revised SCATE form to be tested during the semester by Sparky Alzamora Campus Editor The newly revised Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE) form featuring wide changes designed to alleviate the difficulties encountered with the Analysis of Courses and Teaching (ACT) of the past few years, will be distributed to several University departments early in December. Termed, a “test run” by Mark Humm, Student Association (SA) ACT lacked direction, and that no one felt they had any input into it.” A subsequently revised ACT plan suffered a blow at the September 24 meeting of the Faculty-Senate, however, when President Robert L. Ketter announced that it would be impossible for the University to Academic Affairs coordinator, SCATE’s acceptance by individual departments will determine whether the results of this revamped program will be ready for distribution on a University-wide basis in the fall of always apply to individual courses under the ACT, SCATE’s form will be of a more general nature, with questions that apply to undergraduate nearly every course. in addition, the SCATE questionnaire will contain space for individual comments. Mr. Humm said each department will have the prerogative to add questions which pertain to its own field of study. In the future, he explained, individual instructors may be able to ask questions. However, these additional questions would presently be too extensive for the committee to compile. The results of this fall’s evaluations will not be published, Mr. Humm said, because of a lack 1975. of time. Tried and tested The questionnaire, devised by an SA SCATE committee, will be SCATE in ’75 tested in several departments in order to “produce the instrument and see how it works,” Mr. Humm said. The ACT was originally passec by the Faculty-Senate about three years ago. The process of distributing the computer printout sheets and publishing student evaluations was done through the administration under the Student Testing and Research office. Three administration representatives were formerly in charge of compiling the results of the evaluations. However, the ACT came under fire by the Faculty-Senate last spring when it was found that the statistical results of teacher and course evaluations were difficult comprehend. The to Faculty-Senate complained the SCATE supply the $60,000 to $80,000 needed to Office fund a permanent Instructional of Development (OID). A new look The actual SCATE form has also been significantly altered. Whereas the ACT listed 36 questions on a “strongly agree-disagree” basis, the new 18 questionnaire will feature multiple choice questions. Because questions did not In the fall of 1975, the results of the preceding semester’s SCATE will be published and distributed in time for students to fill out their schedule cards, Mr. Humm said. This distribution will be made available to the entire University in contrast to past years when there were about 50 volumes of the ACT evaluations published and placed only in University libraries. The cost of SCATE, which includes the price of paper, supplied entailed in distribution and collection, and computation for the processing of the forms, will be underwritten by the administration. In the next two weeks, Mr. Humm and the SCATE committee departmental will meet representatives to determine who will participate in the new SCATE " project. Security program curtailed The Campus Security Student Aides program has been curtailed due to a shortage of available funds. The aides are hired by Security to check student ID cards and screen incoming persbns amount of money designated for the program very soon. To help cut down on costs, however, the patrol shifts have been shortened from 8 p.m.-4 a.m., to I 1 p.m.-4 am. Second thoughts Serious second thoughts have been given to the effectiveness the student aides as a supplement to Campus Security. Under the rules outlining their role as law enforcers, the aides are extremely limited in power. “Security aides have been intimidated and at times assaulted. They can’t do anything about it except make a citizen’s arrest, which anyone else can do as well,” Mr. Griffin asserted. The aides do not wear uniforms to distinguish them from other students. If they spot any trouble, they must notify Campus Security and let them handle the situation, Mr. Griffin said. Due to the immensity of the Ellicott Complex and its numerous entrances, the student aides patrol the area rather than sit at a desk and check ID cards. Jim Smith, Inter-residence Council vice president in charge of activities, feels “the program is to Goodyear, Clement and the Amherst dormitories at night. “There is a lump sum of money appropriated for security, and there are just so many dollars allotted to the program,” said Lee Griffin, assistant director of Campus Security. At the present rate, he expects to exceed the fruitless because they haven’t come up with an effective system. “There is a large area to patrol at the Ellicott Complex, and only two student aides are on duty each night. While most of the crime is centered inside the dorms, the aides generally don’t almost patrol above Grad Student meeting The Graduate Students Employees Union (GSEU) will hold a general meeting, Friday, November 8 from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. in 240-248 (upstairs cafeteria) Norton Hall. Appearing will be a representative of the New York State United Teachers. Information will be given out concerning the local organizing drive, and those present will be able to pick up authorization cards. Gamer is dismissed from the Record ‘ 9 Charged with sensational and racist reporting, Dfebby Ganser, Managing Editor of Buffalo State University College at Buffalo student newspaper, the Record was dismissed Wednesday by the Student Media Board. Ms. Ganser’s firing grew out of strong reactions to an article she wrote in the Record Tuesday with the headline, “BLFB Budget Threatens Other Organizations.” The story dealt with the budget of the United Student Government (USC) which provides funds for the various student organizations. The BLFB was granted only $14,175 of its requested $50,255 and its budget will face a student referendum set for Nov. 11-13. Several people, including USG President Lauren Stern and Yvette LaGonterie, publicity director for Black Liberation Front Board, felt the headline was misleading and unwarranted. Ms. Stern, at the Media Board meeting, called for the resignation of the entire editorial board and the “surrender” of the next planned edition of the Record to the BLFB. BLFB issue Although the Board did not agree to dismiss the entire editorial board, Ms. Ganser was fired and Monday’s paper was written.by the BLFB. The issue was devoted entirely to the USG budget and minority student organizations. The special edition reported that the controversial headline needlessly aroused many students, causing many white students to fear that blacks were planning physical assaults. The Record editorial board was further accused of orienting itself only to the needs of “young, white, middle-class dorm residing students.” Ms. LaGonterie, Editor-in-Chief of the Record called for a reordering of the paper’s policy and the establishment of a permanent insert in the Record to be written and edited by minority students, with intentions of eventually establishing a separate newspaper. The editorial said that some white students fiave banned together to prepare for expected racial strife on the basis of the headline. “The choice of such a strong, sensational word as threatened in the headline does appear to indicate a less than objective policy on the part of the Record or just plain incompetence in printing a newspaper.” the third level,” he noted 10 Speed Bike on Sale! Good student relations Frank Jackalone, Student Association president, believes the program has certain advantages. “The aides provide a better atmosphere around the dorms. They are a lot less costly than hiring more security guards and they incite less hostility from the student body,” he said. Mr. Jackalone agrees that the aides have limited powers, but feels that if the program is terminated, it could prove a detriment to communications between security and students. In MacDonald and Schoellkopf Halls, the need for student security aides has been eliminated by two experimental systems. Schoellkopf residents have special keys to the front door, and MacDonald is governed by an Electronic Card Key system. If successful, the systems could be expanded to other dorms.

The raw materials they consume in such amazing quantities are being extracted by companies controlled by New York interests, with methods that lay incredible waste to . the environment,” said Tom Dailey, former director of the Montana Public Interest Research Group (MontPIRG), during a short visit to Buffalo this weekend. MontPIRG, one of the many sister organizations of NYPIRG, has been fighting to stop the ecological and economic disasters caused by the exploitation of Montana’s natural resources. Water table “Digging the coal and copper and iron ore out of states like Montana upsets the water table, affects the hydrological cycle, and just does all sorts of bad things to the land,” Mr. Dailey explained. The methods used to mine these primary materials involve strip or open-pit excavation, which leaves scars on the land similar to the craters on the moon. The ttio V/ASHINGTON largest open pit mine in the world is located at Butte, Montana (owned by Anaconda Copper), and, according to Mr. Dailey, “It looks like someone pulled a mountain out of the ground.” Downtown condemned The pit is more than a mile in diameter, 1000 feet deep, and still growing. Downtown Butte, which sits on the edge of the mine, has been condemned to allow for expansion of the mine, he said. ButtS is run for and by the companies that operate there, Mr. Dailey continued. Although its population is only 30,000, its fair pollution level is greater than that of Los Angeles, California. Senators Lee Metcalf (D., Mont.) and Edmund Muskie (D., Me.) conducted a Senate inquiry recently, which determined that six corporations, among them the Chase Manhattan Bank, control almost all of Montana’s industry. Chase Manhattan, for instance, owns Montana Power, the state public utility that is pushing hard to build two more gasification plants that would nearly double Montana’s electric power output by converting coal into oil and oil by-products. Power controversy Environmentalists, who insist that Black,” also known as Frank Smith, the national director of the Attica Brothers Offense Defense, was arrested the evening of Nov. 2 and charged with the felony possession of three and a “Big half ounces of marijuana. According to ABOD sources, Big Black and Polly Eustis, a legal worker, were stopped by city police in a car she was driving near the intersection of Elmwood Ave. and Edward St. Ms. Eutis got out of the car and was neither asked for identification nor apprised of the reason for the stop. The police officers called Big Black by name, however, and demanded that he get out of the car. They then entered the car and conducted an illegal search. One officer reached under a seat, pulled out a brown paper bag, and said, “here it is.” Both Big Black and Ms. Eustis were then arrested. The police department refused to provide any information concerning the arrest. Willie Smith arrested NEBRASKA NEVADA UTAH * Court news During calendar call at Erie County Court Nov. defense attorneys for Bernard Stroble, Herbert Montana does not need the extra power, have opposed the two plants. Most of the additional power, according to Mr. Dailey, would be shipped to Seattle and other Northwest power companies. Proponents of the plan, though, have argued that selling the surplus power would create more jobs and result in economic advancement for Montana, a poor state with seven large Indian reservations and a high unemployment rate. Montana scars However, the Great Plains are very arid and its natural cycles are easily disrupted by salt fumes and Blyden and Big Black (who is representing himself) asked for a list of witnesses who will testify for the prosecution. So far, the prosecution has provided a list of witnesses without saying for which case each will testify, creating a massive amount of extra work for the defense. Judge Carmen Ball, however, denied the request. He later said the court will not order the prosecution to provide the information, hut will only request it of them. After more discussion the prosecution said they would comply with the request. No state money for ABOD The Attica defense has again brought up its problem of funding. ABOD was denied funding by Judge Ball after it had applied for state-appropriated money. ABOD cited the use of their work by the state Attorney General’s staff, and stated that common law 722C18B stipulates that appropriated money is to be paid directly to the people who do the work for the defense. One ABOD lawyer told Judge Ball that the ABOD “can’t even pay their phone bill.” The request was again denied. Attica weekend An Attica educational weekend will begin Friday on campus.

A gasification plant now operating at Four Corners, Arizona, for example, has poisoned the soil and has destroyed more than 120 square miles of vegetation. “Montana gets the scars and New York gets the bread,” Mr. Dailey charged. “People back east have to realize that those who live in areas that supply the industrialized states with primary materials are getting angry.” In Alaska, which is also being ecologically damaged by large industries, an environmental movement is gathering support for a proposal to secede from the U xl. Mr. Daif �Consumerism different dosage forms, or consist of a mixture of two old Public pays too muchfor drugs; pharmacies are to show prices SAN FRANCISCO (CPS) Americans may soon get some help from the federal government in lowering the prices they must pay for prescription drugs. Officials at the Cost of Living Council (CLC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are studying proposals that would require pharmacies to post the prices of brand name drugs as well as their “generic” (chemically equivalent) forms. If approved, such regulations would significantly affect the price of pharmaceuticals and reduce the $15 billion bill Americans currently pay each year for all drug The proposals currently under study by the CLC and the FDA would require comparison price posting of both brand-name and generic drugs, a practice specifically outlawed in most states today. Although courts in nine states have overturned price posting bans, and two states (Texas and California) have already acted to require retail pharmacy price posting in 1974, there are no uniform procedures throughout the U.S. which would give the patient, rather than the doctor and pharmacist, the right to determine the cost of needed medicines. — products. In a fourteen-month study, sponsored by the Task Force on Prescription Drugs of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, this federal agency announced, “We have reached the conclusion that except in rare instances drugs which are chemically equivalent and which meet all official standards, can be expected to produce essentially the same biological or clinical effect.” Currently, nine Put of 10 physicians in the country prescribe the brand-name form of a particular drug, rather than the lower cost, generic form. Thus, even after the regulation 17-year patent privilege on drugs expires, the manufacturer of a brand-name drug can continue to sell the product at a significantly higher price than the non-brand competitors. Lowest prices As one FDA official said, such price posting for drugs “would cut prices tremendously” for the average patient. Blue Cross estimated in 1971 that the prescription of brand name drugs cost the American consumer at least an extra $133 million each year. Secretary of HEW Caspar W. Weinberger announced on Dec. 19 that the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs in the future will pay only the lowest available prices for equivalent market - - drugs. Even if consumer-protection drug laws are enacted, it is still likely that Americans will continue to be caught in a spiral of rising costs. For the twelve-year period of 1956-1967, profit for the 15 leading pharmaceutical firms averaged 18.2 percent as compared to 10.4% for industry as a whole. Drug firms justify such large profits by what they describe as the high cost of drug research. But research outlay for pharmaceuticals (always passed on to the consumer as a cost of production) accounts for only 10 cents of each sales dollar, whereas advertising costs (also passed on to the consumer) account for 25 cents. Since the brand-name drugs yield the best profits, the name of the game in pharmaceuticals is to capture the physician market with ever new, patentable brand-name drugs. Most of these new drugs have no therapeutic advantage over earlier drugs; rather, they have slightly altered, but unimportant, chemical modifications, Nembutal For example, some years ago Abbott Laboratories developed a sleeping medication which was given the generic name pentobarbital. This drug is marketed by Abbott under its brand name “Nembutal.” Even though Abbott’s patent on pentobarbital has expired, it still sells Nembutal to millions of patients every year at prices several times that of its chemical equivalent, pentobarbital. Because of the lobbying efforts of industry, most states have “anti-substitution” laws on the books. Under these laws, it is illegal for a pharmacist to dispense a drug under its generic name if the physician has written the brand name, often five to 10 times more expensive, on the prescription. explosive and important" STUDS TERKEL (author of "Hard drugs Old drugs Between 1951 and 1960 the drug industry introduced 432. new chemical entities, 760" duplicate products, 1064 new dosage forms and 2376 compounded products. Products in the first category occasionally have superior therapeutic value to products already on the market, but are often only old drugs in new chemical clothing. In order to assure that such “new” drugs become popular with the prescribing physician, the handful of leading pharmaceutical firms (eight firms account for almost one-half of drug sales in the U.S.) carry out enormous promotional campaigns. Pfizer, one of the largest drug companies, has run free golf tournaments for doctors, fishing contests, bowling tournaments and sheet shoots. The company once rented 3000 acres of marshland to entertain 700 doctors who enjoy duck hunting. Well over three-quarters of a billion dollars is spent each year by the drug industry to convince doctors to prescribe particular products. This amounts to a yearly average of $3000-4000 per physician for each of the nation’s 200,000 prescribing doctors. It would take two railroad mail cars, 110 large mail trucks and 800 postmen to deliver the daily load of drug circulars and samples to doctors if they were all mailed to a single city. Promotion The promotional activities of the drug industry appear to pay off. Three separate studies have shown that the physicians’ preferred source of new information about drugs is drug company promotional material. The drug industry has also found a powerful ally in the American Medical Association (AMA). In 1955 the AMA virtually opened the pages of its journals to unrestrained drug promotion when it abandoned its highly successful and respected drug advertising screening program, the Seal of Approval. Immediately, the pharmaceutical industry began to pour advertising into AMA journals at the rate of $30 million per year. The proposed law requiring pharmacies to post lists of drugs by their generic as well .as brand names is just one change being suggested by medical reformers. The minimum that many respected physicians and pharmacologists would like to see is a national, standardized, listing of the few hundred drugs that have proven to be effective and safe, in standard dosgage forms.

The Rev. Smith is pastor of St. John the Baptist Church and chairman of the Buffalo chapter of People United to Save Humanity (PUSH). Speaking of PUSH’S major aims. Rev. Smith said, We are dissipating our power” in regard to blacks and the poor, when such economic power could be used effectively to force businesses to halt discriminatory hiring. Purchase power If black people were organized and “sensitized” to the economic system in the U.S., Rev. Smith maintained, they could wield their purchasing power, amounting to $47 billion a year, as a weapon to boycott any company or bank that refused to give blacks equal employment opportunities or to deal with them fairly in other economic activities. If the community were unified in its stand on an issue, it would follow three steps in order to achieve its goal, said Rev. Smith. Representatives would negotiate with the company involved, and if their demands were not met, there would be a confrontation involving the picketing of the company, followed by reconciliation or compromise PUSH is working within the system for economic change, ReV; Smith continued. The black militants of the ’60’s did not achieve economic liberation, he claimed, while the civil rights movement only appeared to achieve equal rights for blacks. But “what good is it if you can sit down in an unsegregated lunch counter in Selma if you can t afford the price of a hamburger?” he asked. • Reinvestments PUSH, a Chicago-based organization headed by the Rev. Jesse Jackson, “pushes” for black people to get into business and reinvest their profits in the black community. It strives for the creation of black-controlled financial institutions that would make capital available to black businessmen. In order to build up the blackk community, PUSH believes black businessmen are essential. Whereas in the white community, money changes hands many times, circulating from white employee to white businessman and back again in the form of salaries, in the black ghetto, money is only spent once in stores owned by white businessmen. According to Rev. Smith, “Capitalism i*wrong whether it is black white,” but he later mentioned that only through the system of free or enterprise are the poor going to get their fair share of the w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w wwwwwwwwealth. Since the free enterprise system draws its lifeblood from enriching the wealthy at the expense of the poor, he said, PUSH believes that the church is an indispensable force in “instilling a sense of brotherhood in the community to keep the new black businessman from “ripping off his brothers as the white man does.” be added to Amherst campus by Laura Bartlett Spectrum Staff Writer Residents of the Ellicott and Governors complexes are presently faced with a near-total absence of library facilities. Most of the planned structures are not expected to be completed until after 1977, at the earliest. Facilities on the Amherst Campus now include only the Law library in O’Brian Hall and a small reserve library in the Ellicott complex, with a 24-hour ordering service for volumes from the Main Street libraries. A joint research library, to hold 750,000 volumes, and a new 115,000-volume Capen Hall undergraduate library are currently under construction. The Ellicott Complex itself will house three more library areas, in addition to the one presently in operation. The new facilities will lower the ratio of students per library seats here from the present 13 to 1 to a more acceptable 4 to 1, according to Director for Facilities Eldwin Smith. The joint research library alone will seat 2100 people in carpeted, air-conditioned comfort, Mr. Smith said, and will be “better designed to meet modern needs” than the facilities at Main St. The joint research library, not yet named, will be similar in function to Lockwood. It will contain volumes relating to education, humanities and management, and will sponsor a “Friends of the Library” room, named for a group which loans and donates books to the library. This structure will enclose a 280-sq. ft. grassy courtyard, with and benches walls made surrounding completely of reflective glass. The new Capen Hall will house the undergraduate library as well as a student union and activity facilities, special collections (poetry, rare books, university archives), classrooms, science and engineering facilities, a “marketplace” area for the sale of handcrafts, and library and university administrative offices. It will probably be the “most used building on the entire campus,” said assistant director for Facilities John Vosi. A climate-controlled walkway will bisect the library’s second floor, running the entire length of the “spine” area, connecting all the buildings. and 3102 Main St. Literature, Crafts, Poetry, Ecology, Cooking, Film, Fiction and more. Browsers welcome. 837-8554 »CO« tables, Best work Capen Hall is expected to be a strikingly beautiful structure. Architect Harry Weese feels it is the best piece of work that has been done for the new campus. On one side, it will overlook Lake LaSalle, and its interior will feature a variety of seating arrangements (lounges, tables, study carrels) and rooms designed for informal meetings or poetry readings. Sections will offer carpeted stairways leading down to lounge areas, where students can sit on the stairs, the floor, or seats to socialize and study. A 24-hour reserve and study section is also planned, in response to student requests. The four libraries in the Ellicott complex will hopefully be used by the Colleges, employing their reading lists as a guide to compile a small collection of volumes relating to College course material The Ellicott libraries will be built up gradually, according to Undergraduate Library Director Yoram Szekely, and will take perhaps a year to reach their full capacity. There are problems of planning ahead, Mr. Szekely said, because Albany has not notified him of what funds will be available next year. “Our first priority must still be Lockwood and the other libraries,” he said. “I don’t want make big, grandiose to descriptions of what we’ll have.” But Mr. Szekely is optimistic about the Ellicott facilities, which he hopes will eventually house 10,000 to 1/5,000 volumes. In total, the new Amherst libraries are expected to hold more than 1.5 million volumes and seat 6000 people in all. U/B MUSIC DEPT. .�V" o.

The name "Faculty-Student Association" is suggestive of an organization run by faculty and students, but in fact, the University's FSA represents neither group. The FSA Board of Directors is presently composed of five University administrators, three students and one faculty member. With the exception of this University and one other state college, which both have administrationdominated FSA's, students and faculty are strongly represented on these bodies throughout the state. Student Association in asking for a greater student-faculty voice in overseeing the operations of Food Service, the Bookstore, vending services, the service center and auxiliary enterprises is merely asking for a more definitive role in dispensing services which have been successful business ventures only because students and faculty make use of them. While some administrators fear that taking responsibility away from the administration will lead to financial problems, they should realize that, if anything, students could conceivably become the most cautious bloc on the Board of Directors because they have the most to benefit from a fiscally solvent FSA. And while it is true that the yearly turnover of student representatives could make it difficult for them to become sheer experts in every single FSA-run operation, the administration, if it does its job properly, should be able to lend its broader fiscal experience to educating them. Increasing the number of students on the Board will not necessarily negate the Administration's ability to convince students and faculty to take responsible courses of action; it would simply be an admission that students are intelligent and responsible enough to engage in extensive dialogue about the corporation's activities and direction. instead of assuming Members of the administration on the FSA Board number of students that an increase in the result in the corporation's of Directors will automatically demise should take time to consider the advantages that might be gained by involving a few genuinely concerned students in its policy discussions. - — — — Presidential complicity President Ford's recent use of the phrases "vote-proof Congress" and "legislative dictatorship" is an excellent example of the man's narrow conception of the real issue in executive predominance in governyesterday's election ment. For example, when Mr. Ford implies that an overwhelming Democratic Congress could jeopardize world peace, he is overlooking the fact that Presidents, not Congress, have made the decision to embark on all of our recent wars. In reality, it required a lot of strange and obscure presidential talk about police action and preserving neutrality, and stilted revelations about places like the Gulf of Tonkin to overcome an initial reluctance by Congress to use its war power. All of Mr. Ford's statements completely ignore the rash misuse of power by the Executive Branch that actually began long beofre Watergate. — The Spectrum Well, the inevitable has happened. 1 finally have hit an empty Monday afternoon when there is no column already written in my head and it simply requires me to allow it to flow out through my nimble fingers on to the clean sheets of white paper. At least once when an incoming Editor of The Spectrum decided to continue this creation, they did so only after a short lecture about the distinct surplus of columns about how hard it was to write a weekly column. There remains a certain sensitivity to such criticism, but even The New York Times has failed to provide any useful stimuli and the glare of empty white paper is about to give me snow blindness. Much of the problem comes from the number of things that are floating around that might make bits and pieces of something, but to which ■ it seems impossible to me to find a unifying' theme.

So already I am sick of sports, and mad at myself for wasting all that time, etc. etc. etc. Maybe 1 have a delayed hangover????? Also spent much of yesterday immersed in a gloriously bad tempered article about Evil Kneivel and the great Snake River Sky Cycle Jump, as featured in the last issue of Rolling Stone. Reality is such a fascinating animal. Almost impossible to identify until you step on it, at which point it bites your foot off if you aren’t very, very careful. Whether or not you are a Kneivel fan, the article is good reading, if only for some kind of perspective on the quality of what it is you see, and don’t see, on your television set or in your favorite magazine. Sports Illustrated got a number of letters harumphing about their inclusion of a lady with nothing on but shorts in their pictures of the Kneivel flying circus.

This legislation acknowledges the fact that these groups have been systematically excluded from the regular channels of economic opportunity in our society. How can these people participate in Affirmative Action programs at the University if low cost day care is not available. Action To the Editor. We, the Graduate Students of the School of Social Work announce our support of the U.B. Day Care Center in its struggle to obtain adequate funding from the University Administration. Since its inception four years ago, the U.B. Day Care Center has adopted a policy consistent with its goal of serving economically disadvantaged students, minority and single parent families in particular. To do this the Center was started and has continued as a cooperative parents working together with a paid staff to provide adequate, low cost childcare. In the past parent fees were supplemented by funding from - Vol. 25, No. 32 assumption is the Gerald Ford gets listened too much more when he prays than I do, if only because of the fact that I never do so. Therefore I let him pray for poor, poor Richard. It is very clear that I do not want Nixon to die. I’m afraid it is for a very unchristian reason, however. He hasn’t paid enough yet. He has not yet been forced to realize what his historical debt will be, and how glaringly and accurately the exposure of his shortcomings has been and will continue to be. Which is probably unfair. No doubt any number of other past high government officials could have had the same thing happen to them, but simply did not get caught. Nixon played it so moralistically while he could, that his falling on his face is something which gives me a quantity of feelings that I am uncomfortable with. So I think we just ignore it for now, yes? Having watched a lot of television yesterday it is clear that it will be very nice to have the election out of the way. Political advertisements are so incredibly bad, overall, as to make the rest of the television programs look palatable, as long as you are really spaced out. Which, when you consider it, is no small feat. Somehow my head thinks of the people who pay kids to run around and tear down their old campaign posters. Wouldn’t it seem fair to require political figures to run 30 seconds of pastoral pictures with soothing music over them in the same slots that they ran their political ads? When you think about the money side of it, it would also mean only half as many political ads. Tsk, tsk. The Democrats are supposed to have won by the time you read this. Now just what is going to happen in the case that the results were as predicted is a question that I have as yet not found an answer to. The fundamental problem seems to be how to throw Set of Rascals A out of the offices that they now hold without installing Set of Rascals B. This presumes that if they are not rascals that they are capable of doing something about the rather disorganized state of things that is posing as reality at the moment. Which leaves two alternatives, doesn’t it? Either only rascals are capable of doing anything, or nobody is. Wonderful. What this country needs is a few more optimists like me. And the guy who wrote the advertisements for the New York Stock Exchange. Him we could use a bunch more of. Well, you will have to excuse me. I have to go warm up the TV set for Monday Night Football, and find the Carlos Castenada book I am reading. Tomorrow I worry about schizophrenia. Pax, take care. For these reasons we support the Day Care Center’s policy to get immediate and ongoing funding from the Administration. We urge the Administration to establish a funding program as soon as possible and we urge all students to demonstrate their support by writing letters to Sub-Board. Now this funding has been discontinued and the Day Care Center is in a financial crisis. In keeping with the policy of Affirmative President Ketter. Plastic utensils Yellow journalism To the Editor.

OXAKRV m* frorr here Preying on environment to ther by Garry Wills Nelson Rockefeller’s return to the national scene prompts me to take a look back on the first controversy that made him a public figure. The episode is worth recalling, if for no other reason, than because it inspired one of the better satiric poems of our time, E.B, White’s “I Paint What 1 See.” In 1932, young Rockefeller took over the building of Rockefeller Center. It was depression time, and the rising towers represented a great risk and show of confidence on his part. To add to the swashbuckling air of it all, he indulged his love for modern art and commissioned a bright mural from Diego Rivera. Young Nelson corresponded in detail on the brilliance in the colors that would be allowed a fact that White set to verse this way: “What are the colors you use when you paint? Do you use any red in the beard of a saint? If you do, is it terribly red, or faint?” Rivera went to work on the mural in the spring of 1933. Nelson gave the project a great deal of publicity, and dispensed tickets for artists and critics to enter a viewing area and watch the great man at work. Nelson even came himself, and got a good look at a new face in the design, one never mentioned in the early correspondence. White’s poem makes Nelson ask innocently: “Is it anyone’s head whom we know at all? A Rensselaer or a Saltonstall?” The head, it turned out, was that of Lenin which should have come as no great surprise. Rivera was an outspoken Marxist. Rockefeller had presumed he could buy talent on any market. Businessmen may not like the Bolshies, but they like to trade with anyone, even the devil. - — To the Editor. As winter is beginning to make its presence felt, the need for adequate clothing becomes apparent. I have noticed in recent years the very popular green, blue and purple hooded jackets and coats fringed with wolf or coyote fur. Each of these comes with a tag which reads, “Not an endangered species.” Technically this is true, for to be “endangered” depends on legislative approval. The real situation is that these species are and have been the victims of man’s most persistent extermination programs. These continue, unresponsive to findings of prey and the increased dependence on predators understanding of food chains and ecosystems. The number of wolves in North America is decreasing, habitat is shrinking and demand for their fur is increasing. 1 ask that as one prepares for this winter and winters to come, that he and she do so with a clear idea of the results of his actions. They only sell what we can be convinced to buy there is no need for you to have a wolf fur trimmed jacket, and there is a great need for wolves and all things wild. Rockefeller wrote a very tactful letter to Rivera, praising his “thrilling mural,” and saying he did not want to interfere with an artist’s work, but politely demanding that he “substitute the face of some unknown man where Lenin’s face now appears.” This became in While’s poem: “And though your art I dislike to hamper, 1 owe a little to God and Gramper.” Rivera offered to make some concessions, but not to remove Lenin: “I’ll take out a couple of people drinkin’ And put in a picture of Abraham Lincoln.” - So, since Rivera would not remove Lenin, Nelson removed the whole mural, having it chipped off the wall by his workmen. The great work of art he had praised and promoted he destroyed. This was not an act like book burning since there are other copies of most books that get burned. This was the destruction of a unique work by the artist’s own hand, and the gravity of the act is increased by the fact that Nelson sincerely does love art and tries, in most cases, to foster and preserve it, not destroy. ; Greg Borah Get to the point The episode was used, later on, by Rockefeller’s critics on the right because he dealt with a Marxist in the first place, and by those on the left to show that he repressed free thought. But what it really shows is the presumption of wealth on a scale that knows that whatever it cannot buy it can at least destroy. As White has his versifying Nelson conclude: “And after all It’s my wall.” To the Editor. In the beginning, it was fresh and innovative, but it’s long since been dead and buried. Maybe I’m getting square in my old age, but I really enjoy reading about the record, not the reviewer’s bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. How about it Jeff? Bill McFerson - Looking around New York, a Rockefeller even that young could almost paraphrase Lyndon Johnson’s later comment and say, “Son, they’re all my walls.” It would be nice to think there are some walls Mr. Rockefeller can neither buy nor rent, to decorate or deface the walls of the White House, for instance. Right to destroy To the Editor. — Election thoughts To the Editor. Inflation is ravaging all socially useful programs, including public education, while creating huge profits for large corporations. Rising costs and increased defense funding continue to squeeze out programs which aim at serving the community. At the State University at Buffalo, a minimal Day Care Center is in danger of losing its funds, a fact that will make it more difficult and even more impossible for women who cannot afford private care for their children to continue their studies. The cost of education is increasingly thrust on working people, and especially oppressed minorities, in the form of rising taxes, skyrocketing tuitions and cost of materials. An AFL-CIO study shows that working people believe that their children have the right to higher education, yet fewer and fewer can afford both the rising price of basic necessities and the rising cost of education. This fact is reflected by the significant drop in enrollment at Millard Fillmore College over the past two years. Working people cannot be expected to pay even higher taxes to meet this crisis in education and other socially needed programs. In light of this we urge all people to vote for candidates who call for: 1) Rolling back tuitions and other sky-high prices; 2) Child care as a right for women who work and study; 3) Emergency corporate tax on profits to pay for higher education and other social needs coupled with a freeze in prices; 4) Slash military spending and make billions available for health, education, social security and public works in housing, transportation and other areas to make useful jobs for all. Upon reading Steven Gaynor’s article on Yoel Krammer’s lecture, I found one important point missing. Mr. Gaynor noted that Dr. Kramer had quoted the Palestinian rhetoric which called for “a democratic secular state in which Moslems, Christians and Jews will be equal,” but Mr. Gaynor did not quote the reason why this state would not be a justifiable alternative to the present State of Israel. The present State of Israel represents the desire for self-determination by the Jewish nation (people). As Dr. Kramer pointed out, a people is defined by that people’s self-definition. The Jewish people define themselves as a religion. Consequently, the State of Israel has a right to exist, according to the principles of self-determination. Religious freedom should, and does exist in Israel, but it is and should remain a Jewish nation. Whenever the phrase self-determination is used in relation to the Middle East, it is usually in relation to the Palestinian right of self-determination. This right is not Jreing disputed by Israel. The only “right” Israel refuses to recognize is the “right” the “right” to destroy the which the PLO claims State of Israel. Peaceful co-existence between Israel and a free Palestinian state? Israel hopes for this. The PLO’s way will not lead to this, however. It will only lead to more needless bloodshed. - Committee for the Democratic Development of the University Faith M.

Since Attica, though, “the struggle has effected a rise in public consciousness. Children are looking at things in different light,” he said. He described the Attica revolt as a fight for freedom in which the participants were “people ground so low into the ground” that their only recourse was to stand up and proclaim their dignity as human beings. “It is hard to become a human being unless you grow, recognize, and develop the struggle to fight back, fight back on many levels.” DAILY CROSSWORD PUZZLE ‘74 Gen‘I Features Corp. 49 Old French coins vehicle 13 "Vissi d’ 60 Lance Singer Viki Tosca aria Keep beck Black eye: Slang Author Wilder 19 Panorama Belle: Sp, Town on the 21 Indianapolis 600 Olive genus entry Hudson “Turandot,” for 24 Medieval string59 Glossy nylon one ed instruments fabric A road to Rome 26 Indian, for one 60 “Woe is me!” Ravelings 26 Alegre, Brazil 61 Gnaw away City on the 62 Attend 16 Across 27 Trivial Hudson Route 63 City in Belgium 28 Town on the English Channel 64 Attendant on Hudson 29 Asian animal Bacchus port capital Breathing 30 sound Fry quickly 65 Norse 33 A lot: Colloq. —Hashana DOWN Available for 35 Monotony 1 Below zero Builders of 38 Admiral's ACROSS — 14 16 — 23 24 25 27 31 32 34 35 37 39 40 bridges weather 2 Et 3 City on the 41 43 46 Hudson Times 4 Caning material 48 5 Urban shopping Letters area 60 Science fiction 6 Swiftly 51 award 7 Apportion “Nothing dries 62 8 Actress Mary 53 sooner than 9 Excuse Bewildered 64 Teutonic: Abbr. 10 56 Denver Where 22 Across 56 11 On the end is 12 General purpose 68 Electrical unit Mountain pass Small hooter Further — —” 42 44 45 Urbanites less happy Rural residents found more ‘pleased’ with environment People living in rural areas are getting more from their environment than are their city cousins. This was one finding of a pilot research study of environmental beliefs carried out over the past year by the Social Science Research Institute at the State University at Buffalo. The project, funded under a foundation grant, attempted to measure what people were pleased with, and what they thought was important in their natural, man-made and cultural surroundings. Professional interviewers from the Survey Research Center sampled the beliefs of about 300 persons in two countries densely populated, heavily industrialized Erie County, and rustic, sparsely settled Hamilton County, in the Adirondack Mountain Park region of upstate New York. Results of the study suggest that people living in rural parts of Erie County, as well as residents of Hamilton County, were more satisfied with environment conditions than those in Buffalo and its suburbs. - Quite pleased Still, residents in all parts of Erie County were “generally pleased” with their environment, according to Lester W. Milbrath, director of the Social Science Research Institute. Dr. Milbrath’s study found that Erie County residents are “most pleased” with many of the public services they are receiving, including fire > protection, electric and postal service, garbage collection and the public water system. They are also “quite pleased” with many environmental elements over which they command some degree of control, like beauty, comfort and appliances in their homes. In addition, Erie County inhabitants are “fairly well pleased” with their relations with neighbors and fellow workers. On the negative side, Western New Yorkers expressed marked dissatisfaction with the quality of their air and water, two environmental elements they considered very important. Of the public services offered, they were least pleased with police protection. Security factors, clean air and water were also rated as top priorities by Hamilton County residents. They, too, were least satisfied with police protection. Motor nature In sharp contrast to Erie County residents, people in Hamilton County were highly pleased with the quality of their air and water. One factor to emerge from the study was a significant difference in life style between residents of the two countries, with those in the Adirondacks expressing much stronger feelings toward ‘Mother Nature’ and the outdoor way of life.

An estimated 25 percent of the 35,000 students and faculty at Brooklyn College (BC), N.Y. boycotted classes Friday, October 25. The one-day strike was called with student government backing to support the struggle of the 200 Puerto Rican students and faculty who had taken over the registrar’s and computer keypunch offices throughout the week. The demonstrators had taken over the offices to demand that Brooklyn College President John W. Kneller honor the recommendation of the faculty search committee to appoint Professor Maria Sanchez to the position of chairperson of the Puerto Rican Studies Department (PRSD). - Switch Last spring, Ms. Sanchez, a member of the department for three years, was passed up for another person, Elba Lugo invited to BC from Puerto Rico to fill the position. At a meeting with Ms. Lugo, PRSD students, faculty and staff expressed their support for Sanchez. Ms. Lugo then agreed to support the department’s decision and not to accept the job. A few weeks later, however, she was heading the department. The department unsuccessfully attempted to meet first with President Kneller, and then with the Board of Higher Education to protest the Lugo enstatement. After a rally on Friday, 18, the protesters October occupied the office of President Kneller. The sit-in ended when Kneller agreed to negotiate with a delegation the following Monday. JOIN NOW the student government cooperated in declaring a one-day moratorium on classes in support of the struggle for student rights and self-determination for Third-World peoples. Some 1000 faculty, staff and students and community people gathered for a noon rally to express their solidarity with the demonstrators. The student body President told the crowd, “It is a question of who runs Brooklyn College.” He asked, “Does it exist for the students and community or for the personal empire of one administrator? . . There must be more student input into the curriculum, teacher hiring and firing, and other college affairs.” Students from other campuses also boycotted classes to attend the rally. Among the schools represented were Hunter College, Kings Boro Community College, Lehman College and Long Island University. . 831-2145 Room 318 Norton Hall GRADUATES MFC '0f\ UNDER GRADUATES ] !

During the occupation, which lasted almost four days, the protesters met with the President three times. They proposed two points; that an impartial faculty member be allowed to inspect the registrar’s office (he found it in “immaculate condition”); and that Maria Sanchez be named acting chairperson for one year, after which a new search committee would be selected, including student representatives. President Kneller refused to compromise and instead asked State Supreme Court Judge Milton Mollen to sign an injunction resulting in the demonstrators’ arrest.

The Spectrum Page eleven ; �Urbanites less happy The survey data also suggest that people often decide where they prefer to live after weighing what is important to them. Dr. Milbrath summed this up in his research report: “Hamilton County offers a clean and beautiful natural environment, with many pleasing outdoor life possibilities, and most people who move or stay in Hamilton County prefer that way of life. The big city provides more opportunities for ‘getting ahead,’ more goods and services, but at some costs to the environment.” Therefore, while persons in Hamilton County stressed nature and outdoor living, they played down questions relating to social advancement as well as the importance of consumer products and services. This pattern was reversed in Erie County. Western New Yorkers, less concerned with the outdoors, put higher esteem on food, public services and educational opportunities. In both counties, residents rated the lack of job opportunities the most displeasing of 46 items. But Erie County residents thought job opportunities were much more important. Highly displeasing Analysis of questionnaire responses indicate that people generally attach little importance to shortcomings in their region like the variety of wildlife in Erie County or the quantity of products available in Hamilton County. In both areas, respondents noted a lack of mass transit services, but said this absence was not as important as other — things. — Your photograph can win the summer off a lifetime for you and a friend. 1.

And make no mistake about the review is the proper word. The terminology budgets need not be approved again. They already have been legally passed and activated by the SA Executive Committee, under circumstances where it had not only the perfect right, but very little choice. Actually, you might call these sessions meetings. call it the Scott and Larry Show. That’s SA I executive vice president Scott Salimando and Black Student Union president Larry Williams. To paraphrase a very old saying, politics doth make strange cohosts. Scott’s role of charing these meetings involves the maintenance of order in both discussion and and his efforts have been voting procedure admirable. He is not totally impartial in that role. No one could be. Sufficient to say, a weaker personality would be hopelessly lost in his situation. Now I’m about the last one to defend Buffalo’s Athletic Department on many issues. It has made several mistakes this year alone and deserves the reprimands it has received. But it should be noted that the Assembly has been acting with even lessresponsibility. - department of theatre presents THE MISANTHROPE by Moliere i \ directed by Ward Williamson - i November 7through10th at 8:30 pm HARRIMAN STUDIO THEATRE Tickets Students 75c/ Others $1.50 available at Norton Ticket Office Straight man However, Scott is only the straight man, or so it appears, for Williams and his compatriots. Williams and others disrupted most of the Assembly budget meetings last spring. Since his audience is “hip” college students, Williams’ verbal attacks and caustic humor are more amusing than abhorent in most cases, although he has offended people on occasion. On the other hand, it is unfortunate that some students have been naive enough to believe the BSU’s physical threats, which have been thrown around with about as much seriousness as one would find in the average Woody Allen movie. For the umphteenth straight time, the Assembly can be expected to attack athletics this afternoon. Hypocrisy For instance, last week they hit the height of hypocrisy. A motion to table discussion of the budgets because several minority representatives were not in attendance, passed the Assembly without much of a struggle. Supposedly, those people were at a meeting with the administration, pleading the case of Anthony Wilson who was arrested in the Rathskellar that morning. I respect and applaud their concern for him, but it is absurd to think that last week’s meeting was any less representative of the student body than the one the week before when the same people were all set to cut the athletic budget to bits. Why didn’t they table then, anytime else, due to the fact that representatives of the athletic program were not in attendance? Why have they not made the effort to find out how much of what they are trying to cut has already been spent or committed in some fashion? Once again, and this is not the first time through the years, the Student Assembly is displaying a great lack of fiscal responsibility. The proper way to go about this is for the students to set larger questions of policy rather than fooling around with budget lines. This is a give and take situation in which the student government must get its act together and the department must start listening to them. The administration can be a pivotal force in bringing these groups together and forcing compromise. I can only hope that it does not back down from this responsibility. Wednesday, 6 November 1974 .

Page thirteen �Amateur tourney Kulu has confidence in team State championship freestyle wrestling by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor “It’s one of the biggest moments of my life,” remarked Buffalo soccer star Emmanuel Kulu. Ttye moment was the Bulls upset of top-seeded Binghamton, ranked eighth in the nation in the 3rd annual State University of New York (SUNY) centers tournament. And all Kulu did was score both Buffalo goals in the Bulls 2-1 win against the Colonials, and tally another goal against Stony Brook in the championship contest. Emmanuel received the offensive MVP award for his efforts. It wasn’t the biggest moment in Kulu’s life, however. “It’s not quite as big a moment as making my national team,” observed the 22-year-old freshman from Cameroun, a small West African nation. “There was a lot of competition back home,” he added.

The event was sponsored by the Erie County Department of Parks and recreation in association with the greater Buffalo Amateur Wrestling Club, Inc. The tournament was run under freestyle wrestling rules as opposed to collegiate rules, which American wrestlers are more familiar with. Freestyle places greater emphasis on takedowns and defense on the feet. This form is used in Olympic and world competition and is increasing in popularity in this country. Some experts feel that freestyle in the wave of the future for American wrestling, but the NCAA is adhering pretty strictly to its traditional collegiate style. Since the event was sponsored by the Amateur Athletic Union, the University could not send its collegiate team as such. However some of Buffalo’s wrestlers went and competed under the aegis of the UB wrestling club, paying their own entries fees and other costs. Buffalo’s representation was small, but some notable performances were achieved, largely by second liners. Buffalo wrestlers Tom Lloyd Jones, Jim Rosenberry and Fred Martello swept the first three spots in the 136.5 pound weight class, but the Bulls’ strongest wrestler at that weight, Jim Young, was on Long Island with the soccer team. Sweeping the honors Jones obviously enjoyed the different style. Tom dominated his weight class, recording five pins in seven matches, winning most pins award as well. He also brought home hardware for the quickest pin (21 seconds) and was named the outstanding wrestler of the tournament. Emad Faddoul, the only Bull regular at the tournament, won the 198-pound class. Freshman Kirk Anderson and graduate Bill Jacoutot took seconds. The Buffalo contingent finished first out of the six team entries. Buffalo coach Ed Michael considered the tournament very worthwhile. “It gave the boys a chance to get several matches in at this time of the year,” he said. The Bulls have been in practice for a month, but won’t have a collegiate dual meet until December. Becoming a physician is a tremendous satisfaction. Let us give you the job satisfaction that should go with it. ■ Whether you’re still in medical school with the rigors of three to five years of graduate medical education still to be faced, or are already a practicing physician, it’s our opinion that the Air Force can offer both professional and personal satisfaction hard to duplicate in civilian life. An overstatement? Not if you consider the specifics. c Take the problem of graduate medical education. It’s a period of your life the Air Force can make considerably easier with comfortable salary and living conditions. Creature comforts aside, the Air Force offers professional advantages. Besides receiving training in your own specialty, you’d be in contact with physicians in all of the medical specialties. You'll function in an environment which is intellectually stimulating and professionally challenging. Not all physicians pursue post residency fellowships. But if you are interested, the Air Force conducts them both in-house and atcivilian institutions. The physician already in practice can look forward to other things. If you want training in the practice of the medicine of the future, you’ll find it in the Air Force. For example, there’s emphasis on group medicine and preventive medicine, and the growing specially of “family physician." Whatever your interest, there are few specialties which are not beingpracticed in today’s Air Force. The physician starting his practice in civilian life has to take into account the cost of setting up an office. The physician commencing his practice in Page fourteen The Spectrum . Wednesday, 6 November 1974 . the Air Force does not. He findshis office established for him. Supplies and equipment readily available. He has many options available to him when treating patients. For example, he can consult with Air Force specialists. He also has referral to other Air Force facilities via aeromedical evacuation. Last, but not least, are the satisfactions that come with having the opportunity for regular follow-ups, and a missed appointment rale that is practically nil. Whether you arc already a physician, or soon to become one, you might find it extremely interesting find out what the Air Force has to offer. We think to it could be a real eye-opener.

Jim Peck, a staff member of the Record, explained that the incident grew out of reactions to a front page article in last Tuesday’s Record edition with the headline, "BLFB budget threatens other organizations.” The story explored budget problems of the various student organizations funded by the United Students Government (USG). Yvette LaGonterie, a representative of BLFB, said the article left many people with the impression that black students were going around threatening people’s lives, “something that never happened.” She characterized the article as ‘‘less than objective,” and “slanted as all the other articles have been,” and said she holds the Editor-in-Chief responsible. , No formal authority A number of people “blew up” at last Tuesday’s edition, according to Mr. Peck. He said Lauren Stern, USG president, threatened to fake over publication of Friday’s Record. Ms. Stern had been “pushing for the BLFB budget” all along, he pointed out. Mr. Peck called Ms. Stern an “instigator” in the action that demanded the resignations of both the Fditor-in-Chief, Lucille Burke, and the Managing editor and author of the article, Debby Ganser. The complaints were brought before the Media Board, an organization of representatives of Buffalo State’s publications and radio station, of which Ms. Burke is president. But Mr. Peck maintained that USG has no formal authority over the Record, adding that only SI 500 of the Record's S13.000 budget is subsidized by USG. Additionally, Ms. Stern demanded to know the writer of the editorial appearing in Tuesday’s paper, which has also come under attack. The paper refused to divulge the author, explaining that the entire sta'T was responsible for the editorial. Mr. Peck also explained that the paper was not “taken over" as some people have speculated. The staff collectively decided not to publish Friday’s edition, allowing the BLFB to print its own issue without using the Record's logo, he said. The Record regularly publishes Tuesday and Friday, but because of technical difficulties, the BLFB edition could not appear until today. At least one member of the Record staff criticized the paper's decision not to go to press Friday. The spokesman feared it would set a precedent whereby other organizations could demand their own issues of the Record when they felt an injustice was done. “All credibility will be shot to hell,” she said. Ms. Burke, an architect of the staff decision to cancel Friday’s issue, said she wanted “to give the BLFB an opportunity to say what they want to say.” Good opportunity She claimed that in past years, minority students at Buffalo Slate have received biased and unfair treatment by the Record. She also admitted there have been inaccuracies in Record articles. “We did not check our facts over as completely as we should have," she said. “We’re going to be more careful and research what we report Ms. Burke said the incident, which made her more aware of “the effect we have on people,” was a good opportunity to let the BLFB “see what it’s like to run a paper Today's paper will consist of both objective articles and editorial comment.

She explained that BLFB was not the only group to receive unfair newspaper coverage, and that this would be an express everyone s opportunity to views BLFB will ask for a permanent insert to appear in all subsequent issues of the Record. Ms. LaGonterie said. Additionally, she is skeptical about the effect the incident will have on future editorial policy of the paper. “For editorial policy to be changed, the editorial board must be changed,” she maintained.

Although Ms. Stern feels the Record’s editorial policy has at times been racist, she is more concerned with improving competency and accuracy USG should have acted as a mediator in the dispute. Ms. Peck said, but Ms. Stern claimed USG's involvement was necessary "because we have a responsibility to represent students."

Campus 1'ililor College E has shifted from a generalized pursuit of creativity experimentation to and a com m unity-controlled program directed at non-traditional and minority students. Col lege spokesmen told the Chartering Committee Thursday night. It is now known as Cora P. Maloney College, or the College of the Poor. The College will be the educational vehicle for improving life and will act as an some for of t he agent non-traditional students on campus. College representatives said. It will assure that both traditional and “new” students (working adults and members of minority groups) have adequate resources to pursue successful careers, the College charter stales. The new leadership defined minority students as those who have least been served by the traditional academic programs. “Students with American Express cards, good SAT's, good grade point averages and well formed egos probably won't need the services of the College,” explained Frank Brown, associate professor of education and chairman of the Minority Faculty and Stall Association. Dr. Brown is the prospective director of the College. The residential program will be a base for counseling and remedial services, as well as a setting for Community-University interaction and social activities, spokesman indicated. The charter provides community academic and EOP Wasting time spend students inordinate amounts of time trying to maintain their status as students or departmental majors, said administrative officer Eva Ligde.

The College will he governed by thirty-one a member Community Planning Board (CPB). The board will consist of 20 community representatives, six College I student representatives and five representatives for participating faculty members. CPB President Lionel Davis said the Planning Board would monitor College courses and programs to determine if they suit the needs of poor people. Mr. Davis said that the country toward two separate moving is societies: one for the wealthy and one for everyone else. In the past, the University and community have operated as two distinct entities, he explained. "We must begin to cooperate," Mr. Davis Many added How it differs Committee chairperson Pam Benson asked the College E representatives how their College differed from existing University programs. “What is unique? Do you feel you overlap?” she asked. All social sciences overlap." a It’s a pokes in un replied question ot orientation. Cora 1’ Maloney College has much more of a professional services orientation,” she explained. One committee member asked if the College would make an effort to recruit students from all parts of the University and of all ethnic persuasions. “There’s no intention here to sponsor a Third World residential program,” Dr. Brown answered. He asked if the committee had been equally concerned about other Colleges being all white. Several committee members immediately replied that they had. Diverse interests Last year, as College E began prepare for the chartering process, four separate interests were identified: media studies, alternative symbolic forms, to paraphychological phenomena and mystical experiences and "minority This last interest was considered to be the most desirable direction for the College, College spokesmen reported The open hearing Tuesday afternoon was interrupted by a bomb threat apparently unrelated to the Chartering Committee hearings. Campus Security reported that a male telephone caller who identified himself as a member of the Puerto Rican Liberation Army, warned that a bomb would explode in Foster Hall between 5 and 7 p.m. Investigators found no explosives the in the building, but Committee hearing was moved to Norton Hall. �Clifford Furnas College — Serious students emerge asfocus of charter by Mike McQuire Spectrum Staff Writer defense same body can certainly co-exist Clifford with Furnas, John Greenwood, graduate student An active intellectual and social life for the representative on the Committee, contrasted the “serious student” was cited by Clifford Fumas CFC hearing with that of the College of the Poor College representatives as justifying its chartering at (formerly College E) held earlier in the day. “We’ve heard from the College of the Poor,” the open hearing of the Colleges Chartering Greenwood. “Now we’re from what can Hall. said Committee Thursday in Foster One CFC student told the 60 College members be called in the broad sense the college of the rich,” and observers present that he liked the “ability to When some CFC members protested, Mr. Greenwood meet distinguished faculty on a personal level.” explained that he meant rich in a cultural snese.

Colleges Council. The question appeared to divide College members. A1 Koslow, a graduate student and a College member, defended the decision to drop out of the Assembly. That body is dominated by non-residential, mostly radical colleges, he claimed, and CFC was shortchanged on funds because of its conservatism and residential nature. Mr. Koslow suggested “giving the Council a chance,” but said the College should retain the option of seceding if the Council does not work out. Bernadette Welch, another CFC student, disagreed, saying that the College should wait and possibly join the Council after seeint it in operation. Ms. Welch said she resented the pressure exerted by the old Assembly on CFC’s teaching methods and materials. A third Furnas member asserted that the Collegiate Assembly is an excellent mechanism for “buying off radicals” by granting college minimal budgets. Furnas faculty members spoke both for and against joining the Council at its outset. College mandate At this point, Dr. Reichert announced that participation in the Council is not voluntary but is required by the Prospectus, and he expressed doubt that he would recommend voting for any college seeking exceptions to that document. He said CFC is one of two colleges seeking chartering under what he termed “special circumstances. (He declined to name the second.) Jackie Finlay, a member of the Committee and College B, which had once co-resided with CFC when Tower Hall was used as a dormitory, would welcome its return to inter-college governance. Ms. Finlay said that a Council which can accommodate College F and Vico College in the of College B, said that Price’s strategy defeat B-I bomber “Real world” George Davidson, a Furnas student, drew applause by staling that “the real world Is not In the real world is in here, in the College, in l ower Lackawanna!" Mr. Greenwood also asked why the College has been unable to appoint a permanent master since April. Faculty members of the College pointed out in reply that many of the university's academic units have encountered longer delays in finding qualified administrators. Faculty members were also asked what type of student CFC aims its programs at. The goal of the College is to integrate the humanities into the natural sciences, they responded, both for science majors and students majoring in other fields. Goals met Dr. Ted Steegmann, professor of anthropology and a CFC faculty member, told the committee that a study conducted at the University of Michigan by Theodore Newcomb demonstrated that residential colleges meed educational goals more completely than the rest of the university. Mr. Newcomb found that this is true even after correcting for the higher motivation that may exist in those students living in residential colleges. Dr. Steegman further stated that Michigan’s Survey Research Center could conduct a similar study here if funds were found to underwrite it This appeared to answer a question raised by Richard Siggelkow, vice-president for Student Affairs, at an earlier chartering hearing. This was the last public hearing held by the Colleges Chartering Committee. The Reichert Prospectus demands that all colleges must obtain a charter this semester in order to operate next semester. by Kim Weiss Spectrum Staff Writer The Western New York Peace Center, which has worked for many social reforms, sponsored a series of noon luncheons last week to discuss, among other topics, foreign aid, amnesty, and military spending. The lectures were part of a Peace Center-sponsored “Week of Concern.” William Price. F versity District City Councilman, spoke Thursday about defense expenditures. He was particularly concerned with reducing United states weapons systems and Defense Department spending. “In fiscal year 19 7 4. mi 1 i t ary and military-related spending accounted for nearly 59 percent of the money allocated by Congress,” Mr. Price said.

About 20 percent of all ETS exams have experimental the Educational questions which could be used on future tests if the ETS determined that a sufficient number of questions correctly. have The staff of been answered question writers, usually have had a background in teaching, draw questions from magazines, college tests, and other sources.

The Spectrum . Monday, 4 November 1974 magazine who has studied the ETS question designing process, reprinted the directions in the ETS Instruction Manual: “Avoid the tendency to make the correct answer longer than the distractors [wrong answers) and remember that it is desirable to have items that range from easy to hard.” The question writers are given a week or two of training before they begin work. Never changing test One problem with the method of designing these questions is that the test can never change. “It is making the assumption that the old test is good for assessing new questions,” said Sidney Shrauger, Associate Chairman of the Department of Psychology at this University. A person could conceivably perform well on a new set of questions, but if he did not score comparatively well on the established questions, the experimental questions would probably be dropped. If, however, there was a substantial trend in this direction, “ETS would pick it up.” The way racism, sexism, and socio-economic background is “sneaked” into the questions is not quite as apparent as it was ten years ago. Dr. Shrauger, described the LSAT as it was when he took it: “1 was personally struck by the number of questions dealing with athletics.” Also questions about styles of women’s clothing and brands of Scotch and Bourbon he —continued on page 5— The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

He has assailed Mr. Carey for making “irresponsible” promises to hold the line on tuition and work for a tuition rollback. Mr. Wilson opposes free tuition because he feels the 16ss of $150 million revenue will imbalance the state budget and require increased taxation at a time of “doubleKligit” inflation.

Mr. Wilson will not automatically oppose any legislation aimed at curtailing student mandatory fees, and does not think students should be allowed to vote in their school districts since in most cases, it is not their permanent residence.

Jack Kemp, Republican incumbent in the 38th Congressional district. Borrowing money to pay the national debt forces the government to take money that should be invested privately, he maintained. Mr. Kemp called for “across the board” cuts in federal spending, noting that every bill that passes through Congress should state its impact on the nation’s economy. The oversupply of money that has been created through the Federal Reserve System in response to government spending is not in line with national productivity and has “debased the currency,” he charged. * Magic wand Jack Kemp in defense spending “no Calling magic $vand” for freeing federal funds for prograins responding to “human needs,” Mr. Kemp said existing programs that exhibif “apparent manifestations of waste” should be cut. He claimed that one of every six Americans are presently employed by the government, a situation cuts requiring “a hard look at government bureaucracy.” Mr. Kemp proposed cuts in foreign aid, noting that the U.S. is now lending the Soviet Union funds to develop natural gas at an interest rate of 6 percent, when Americans are paying at least 12 percent. “Foreign aid should be reasonable,” he said. He does not support a peacetime draft, but said a good deal of the money slated for defense is the “price we’re paying for a volunteer army.” Citing Congress for blaming the President for the nation’s economic difficulties, Mr. Kemp noted that in 1974, Congress passed a spending limit of $260 billion and then appropriated a total of $272 billion. “High prices are the result, not the cause of inflation,” he noted, explaining that he was against any laws cutting prices below their “natural” level. Tremendous increases “There is still competition in the petroleum industry,” Mr. Kemp claimed, explaining that the financial situation of the nation’s major oil companies is not as it may seem. He said the huge profit increases of oil corporations are “necessary” because of tremendous increases in the cost of drilling. When Mobil Oil, for instance, earned $2.5 billion, it invested $3.5 billion in drilling, research and excavation, he noted. Incentives to develop energy resources abroad like the proposed foreign depletion allowance, must be stopped, Mr. Kemp stressed. “We have turned our backs on developing our own resources,” he said, adding that by allowing the price of gas to reach its “natural level,” no matter how high, it would create “an incentive for people to conserve as well as to produce.” This would contrast with present “disincentives for American exploration.” Defending the CIA as a legitimate agency, Mr. Kemp said the organization “needs exposure to Congress.” He supports limitations on CIA activity and believes Congress should play a “watchdog role” through its monetary controls. Two-party system Tufning to campaign financing, he said the bjjl just passed by Congress “is a 0 healthy stgrt.” He favors a mixture of public and private campaign financing, to preserve tjie two-party system. He admltted.that public financing could favor a multi-pSrty system though, and cited Italy and France as proof that spch systems do hot present a viable alternative". 3 Mr/ Kemp attacked Congressional inactivity, noting., that Awhile Cohgress has been presented' withrthe opportunity to regain its initiative, itrJias opted tc5 wait, even 'in a time of severe" inflation. He expressed hope that: the recent Presidential transition “could be a catharsis*” opening up a more favorable power position for Congress. Raise confidence Discussing seniority and committee leadership in Congress, Mr. Kemp said organizational changes now balance seniority and merit through the employment of the secret ballot, making committee chairmen more accountable to committee members. He called this “a healthy compromise.” Wicks stresses a ‘fresh approach to many issues 9 Admittedly unfamiliar with the technical arguments regarding nuclear power plant safety.

I certainly don’t want something that's unsafe, but I haven't got any philosophical reasons for being for or against nuclear power plants." Ms. Wicks did express concern, though, that the U.S. is using up energy too rapidly, and she is troubled philosophically “because while we’re in bad shape now. it's relative to how bad the rest of the world is." She feels “the oil companies could put their time to finding new resources they seem to be making enough profits to be able to. . . . We’re probably going to have to change our way of living a bit so that we don’t use quite so much energy.” Barbara Wicks, Democratic-Liberal candidate for Congress in the 38th District, presents what she calls a “fresh eye” on the political process in contrast to her opponent’s “plastic representation.” Ms. Wicks now serves on the Hamburg Town Council, the first woman to hold such a seat. Active in the League of Women Voters and in various civic groups, she holds an MS in Social Studies from the State University College at Buffalo. She has taught American History, Government and Sociology courses at both high school and college levels. Ms. Wicks favors government limitations on CIA activities. “I think the kind of action in Chile is the same kind of thing we’ve had in the United States,” she says. “It’s hideous to go in and try to destroy somebody else’s, elected government for what 1 think seem to be economic reasons that have to do with the copper interests.” - — Reform Ms. Wicks supports reforms, such as a computerized information system, which would provide more information to members of Congress. She urges a depoliticization of the Justice Department and the IRS, “but how we do it is the big Question because virtually everything is political.” She also supports strict public End aid Ms. Wicks also favors an end to military aid to South Vietnam, although in her view, such military assistance, even though it is helping to prolong the conflict, may have to be withdrawn slowly. ft .‘"EL.

Esposito City Editor Robert Abrams, Democratic Bronx Borough President, is challenging Louis Lefkowitz in tojnorrow’s eleciton. Mr. Lefkowitz, the Republican incumbant, has become a virtual institution as the State’s Attorney General. If elected, Mr. Abrams, a New York University Law School graduate, would be the state's first Democratic Attorney General in 32 years. During his three terms in the State Assembly, Mr. Abrams wrote the legislation to create the first prison work-release program in the state. He was active in the fight to mandate compulsory investigation of child abuse cases, and to establish a statewide register of child abuse reports to aid in the detection and treatment of “battered children.” Criticizes Lefkowitz Mr. Abrams has repeatedly criticized his opponent’s record in office, charging that “Louis Lefkowitz calls himself ‘The People’s Lawyer,’ but in fact Louis Lefkowitz has been the governor’s lawyer and has not fought the people’s fight. A people’s lawyer would have fought exploitation by the insurance companies and banks, but the governor’s lawyer defended that exploitation. A people’s lawyer would have stood up to the monopoly utilities; the governor’s lawyer gave them free rein. “A people’s lawyer would have gone all out to preserve the rich heritage of our natural environment; the governor’s lawyer tolerated the fouling of our air and water by reckless industrial polluters. Powerful special interests have been permitted to plunder New York State at the people’s expense. And the governor’s lawyer has let them get away with it,” Mr. Abrams has also pledged to break up the “cozy relationship between the Republican establishment and the giant banks and corporations.” He said that “Among the worst offenders have been the electric, gas, and telephone monopolies, which have been granted exorbitant rate hikes year after year.” He has called for a “crackdown on price-fixing and anti-consumer conspiracies by the oil industry, giant food combines, supermarket chains, mortgage lenders, insurance companies, and others whose high level corporate manipulations fuel the fantastic inflation that has drained the pocketbooks and wallets of working men and women from Buffalo to Brooklyn.” Prosecute crime The Bronx chief executive promises to “give top priority to the prosecution of organized crime and official corruption, along with massive reform of our revolving-door prison system and unjust court procedures.” Mr. Abrams says he will fight to “safeguard the precious personal liberties,” to “advance the civil rights” of all New Yorkers, and to decentralize many government services. He decries illegal wiretapping, compulsory lie detector tests and the compiling of secret dossiers by government agencies, and will seek to end discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, sex, or sexual orientation. Utility rates He led the successful fight to compel the state’s Public Service Commission to revamp the New York Telephone Co.’s rate zone structure for the first time in 30 years. He has also demanded that no utility rate increases be granted without a full, independent public audit of the utility’s books.

Page five �I Editorial Carey for governor As a member of the House of Representatives for the past 14 years, Hugh Carey has displayed the qualities that will make him an effective governor of New York State. Mr. Carey has taken a - progressive glance on many crucial educational issues, pledging to maintain current tuition levels and study the feasibility of a tuition rollback. "The state, not the students, should bear the burden of financing high education in these days of high inflation," Mr. Carey has said. On the issue of student financial aid, Mr. Carey supports the creation of a state work-study program and has endorsed the Student Association of the State University's (SASU) proposal to revise the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). The revisions would eliminate the tuition differentials between upper and tower division students; reinstitute the former method of increasing awards to families with more than one child attending college; extend awards to matriculated half-time students; and allow five-year awards for students who transfer from two to four-year colleges. Mr. Carey believes students should active in University governance. He would appoint a voting SASU-elected representative to the State Univesrity ~B<jard of Trustees and support the election of individual student body representatives to their local College Councils. Additionally, Mr. Carey has been openly critical of attempts by be previous Republican legislatures to eliminate the student mandatory fee, and has pledged support for an amendment to allow students to vote in their school districts In contrast to Mr. Carey's forward-looking educational views Governor Malcolm Wilson has an insensitive, condescending attitude toward students. His public posture of saying he has no immediate plans to raise tuition has contrasted sharply with private statements that he may increase and even double tuition if re-elected Mr. Wilson opposes student representation on State wide and local governance boards, and could not be relied on to oppose any legislation aimed at eliminating the student mandatory fee. Finally, Mr. Wilson does not think students should be allowed to vote in a locality that isn't their pernament residence, i.e. their school districts. In contrast to the Wilson administration's plodding approach to urban problems, Mr. Carey will fight to restore and strengthen the voice of cities in the State capital, as he did by engineering the revenue , Pulls no punches To the Editor. 1 have just finished reading your Malcolm Wilson and want compliment you on the accurate report in interview It has been said that Wilson tells it like it Berkeley Legislative profile Because tomorrow's election will have a significant impact on both and local levels, the voters of New York State should do whatever they can to obtain a thorough knowledge of where the different candidates stand.

Stressing that the middle income family has been taxed enough, promised not to raise taxes for lower and middle income families, while his opponent has made no such pledges, even though he has made "double-digit inflation" the catchphrase of his campaign. While Mr. Wilson advocates a conservative, hands-off approach to ending inflation, Mr. Carey said he would use his Congressional influence to see that middle income families are not further squeezed by President Ford's surtax proposal. All of Mr. Carey's progressive activities in the area of tabor have won him the endorsement of the State AFL-CIO and the Civil Servant's Employee Association (CSEA).

It was a CIA plot to discredit Nixon and get Rockefeller in office,” he claimed, adding that the use of "a half-platoon of Cuban Gusanos was an outright blunder which any capable people trained in espionage could have avoided. Mr. Liebowitz saw the National Employment Relocation Act (NERA) as the beginning of “the setting up of slave labor camps in the U.S.” The bill, which is now before the House of Representatives, was introduced by Sen. Walter Mondale (D., Minn.), and has the support by Rep.

Mailbox number 3 in Norton Hall now serves as an “outlet for any and all complaints” regarding landlord-tennant relations, Mr. Presberg said. He promised that every letter will be thoroughly investigated and followed through until a solution has been reached. “I know the Buffalo Housing Code backwards and forwards,” claimed Mr. Presberg, expressing his willingness to become personally involved with every case. “The mailbox will serve as a referral service, a liaison between students and the appropriate agency to which a complaint should be addressed,” he explained. Absentee landlords Mr. Price headed a housing symposium on Oct. 7 that included members of the Mayor’s Housing Task Force. At this meeting he noted that housing in the Main Street area has deteriorated over the past few years, citing absentee landlords as directly responsible. Excess garbage, poor kitchen and plumbing facilities and landlords’ using security deposits to intimidate students are among the more frequent complaints, he said. Shortly after the symposium, Mr. Presberg conducted a written survey on multiple-owner absentee landlords, the results of which indicated that most students do not know to whom to turn with their complaints. As head of the Student Housing Task Force, Mr. Presberg has become familiar with many agencies concerned with housing violations, like the Bureau of Inspections and Licenses, the City Health Department, the Buffalo Common Council, the University Student Rights Association, and the Legal Aid Clinic. Mr. Presberg is an intermediary between these organizations and individual students. He is confident of the potential effectiveness of the new mailbox comment. At press time, Dr. Charles Fogel, assistant to Executive Vice President Albert Somit, could state only that he felt the Athletic Department and the SA were “not far apart,” SA officials feel the administration will back them not only in respect to the Athletic Department, but in regard to the SA as well. The assembly has been attempting to make substantial cuts in the athletic budget in order to allocate more money to give to other organizations. SA vice president Scott Salimando said his office, as well as the administration, must' maintain both the intramural and intercollegiate budgets as the Executive Committee originally passed them. “I don’t foresee any big changes in the budget,” Mr. Salimando said. “1 think the administration does not want to step in here, but it they have to, 1 think they will.” Mr. Salimando's analysis, the intramural and recreation lines will be restored because they are a stated SA priority, while intercollegiate sports cannot be drastically cut became there haye been too many contract commitments made.

A pivotal part of the campaign will take place Thursday afternoon at a mass meeting Pat has scheduled for Rotary Field at 3:30 p.m. He hopes he can round up enough support at that time to make the SA and the Athletic Department take him a little more seriously.

More than 60 teams in 10 leagues from both campuses clash each fall in hopes of attaining the playoff. The first place teams in each of the Amherst leagues and the first and second place finishers in the MAIN Campus leagues (which are twice as large) are given playoff berths. ‘‘The games are very competitive,” said Gary Montour, an ex-Buffalo baseball star and assistant director of the Lapiana realizes that he represents an extreme faction of student opinion. “I’ll either become the most popular or the most hated student on campus. I don’t know which,” he said. “But it takes someone like that to get something like this done.” Perhaps he is right, particularly with the odds so strongly against his cause. But if dedication counts for anything, the man may have a case.

The Colonials, also rated eighth nationally, were the strong favorites in the tournament. According to the Statesman (Stony Brook student newspaper), Binhamton just had to “show up to win it all.” However, the Bulls weren’t ready to concede the game. They played Binghamton even in the first half, despite the absence of Buffalo starters Alex Torimiro and Emmanuel Kulu, who had missed the plane and, apparently, the tournament.

The players have competed together, so they know each other well. Teams that stay together know the rules and can make piays that work.” The Scopers are one of these teams. Made up of varsity baseball players and their friends, they are considered favorites to go all the way. Last year, they finished third in the playoffs, losing to the eventual champions in the semi-finals. “Maybe I’m prejudiced, but I think they’re going to win,” said Montour, a former Scoper himself. “Teams can’t win on just talent alone. They must be organized, and organization is something at which the Scopers excel.” True to their reputation, the Scopers have won their first two games this season.

An overflow crowd of around 300 College members and observers cheered College representatives, and hissed at questioning chartering committee members. Jane Jennings, a member of the College, said Women’s Studies was set up in 1972 to combat sexist practices at the State University at Buffalo. Its activities have included participation in national regional women’s conferences, and it has provided a model for other schools setting up similar program, in addition to serving as a place where women can exchange ideas. Share responsibility Marge Kramer, another College representative, declared that individuals take their share of responsibility for the whole College program. In many courses, teaching duties are shared, and there is no distinction made between differend members of the College in Us governance structure, she said. “Each member of the College has a share of the work, the responsibility, and the power,” she added. Ms. Kramer concluded with a call for integrating experimental programs such as Women s Studies into the mainstream of the University, rather than leaving them on the periphery. Colleges Dean Irving Spitzberg asked the college exactly how its introductory course, Women In Contemporary Society, is taught collectively. College members responded that the course is an analysis of the experiences of women in society, and thus undergraduates, grad students, faculty members, and community women all contribute without relying on traditional academic roles Many of the questions asked by the Chartering Committee concerned the role of men in Women’s Studies, both in class and in the College’s governance. A member of the College explained that there are only a few courses in which men are requested not to register, including one which leaches female physiology. Jonathan Reichert, chartering committee member and author of the Reichert Prospectus questioned College members about their governance structure. He asked why the charter stated only that all women, instead of all members, would be eligible for roles in governance. A College member replied that “women” was used in the generic sense to mean “person,” in much the same way that “men” is often used without meaning males exclusively. June Lapidus, an undergraduate member of the committee, added that every other charter had used “men” in the same generic sense, without any protest by the committee. This prompted an angry response by Dr. Reichert, which was drowned out by applause for Ms. Lapidus’ remark. Community ties Charles Ebert, Dean of Undergraduate Education, asked whether men would actually be excluded from any class. A College member replied that the only course in which people have been turned away is Women In Contemporary Society, in which preference has been given to women and which has attracted 100 people more than could be registered this semester. One committee member asked the College why its courses are not offered through the American Studies program, since many of the College’s faculty come from that department. A College member answered that as a department or even a program, important community ties would not be possible. Yoram Szckely, Director of the Undergraduate Library, asked if there is an effort to recruit regular faculty from places other than American Studies. A College member responded that women faculty are actively recruited from other sources but that role conflicts like child-care duties prevent many from being active in Women’s Studies. Clear violation Jackie Finley, a College’s representative on the committee, asked if the College’s ambitious aims of “changing consciousness” can be maintained with its current budget, and if the College might consider becoming a University program to secure adequate funding. Women’s Studies coordinator Therese Epstein replied that the colleges have never been funded adequately, and that the possibility of Women’s Studies’ being transformed into a program was always present, but that a decision is impossible now. Ms. Epstein urged the chartering committee to use every means to acquire adequate funding from the Administration. Barbara Handschu, a practicing attorney in Buffalo, said that the University would be in clear violation of Affirmative Action guidelines were it not to charter Women’s Studies College. She cited the Law School’s cancellation of the Women’s Rights workshop and the substitution of the Simulated Law Firm, and said she would be “proud” to handle any litigation should the / be chartered. community groups sentA number of University and Women’s Studies College be representatives to request that the statements included Attica chartered. Those sending Buffalo Vietnam Veterans Against Brothers Legal Defense, the War/Winter Soldier Organization, the Community Action Corps (CAC), the Women’s Medical Students Committee, Buffalo Sisters of Sappho, and the Association of Women Law Students.

The motion to table was introduced by Doris Diaz, SA Minority coordinator. Deliberating over the budgets while the minority student representatives were absent was unfair and unrepresentative, Ms. Diaz told the Assembly. Some observers feel the decision to delay the budget hearings was a victory for those who advocate substantial cuts in the Athletic Department budgets. Minority students are known to oppose the large allocation to Athletics. After tfie Assembly spent a few minutes discussing other business. President Frank Jackalone spoke in defense of the Athletic budget, urging that no further cuts be made. “We didn’t have a student referendum saying we should cut athletics by $200,000,” Mr. Jackalone said. “We didn’t have a student voice saying we should make huge cuts here and huge additions here.” Mr. Jackalone asked the Assembly to “stop wasting time” deliberating over the budgets and get to work on other issues. He cited several thousand dollars worth of cuts already made in the budget and asked the Assembly to “think of the students (involved in athletics), don’t necessarily think of the Athletic Department.” He said SA made commitments and should not reneg on them. “I’m asking you not to make those cuts,” he concluded.

Board of Regents urges tuition hike The New York State Board of Regents’ annual report has urged the governor and State Legislature to increase tuition for State University of New York (SUNY) schools. Adopted October 24, the “Regents 1974 Progress Report on Education Beyond High School” contains various recommendations for the state-wide development of post-secondary education. New York State law requires the Regents, whose members are elected by the Legislature, to submit a formal report on Higher Education to the Governor and Legislature every November 1. The report advised the State University to' re-examine its tuition schedule to determine if further adjustments are necessary to keep pace with rising costs. During a period of inflation, the Regents advised, tuition levels would be expected to rise in relationship to price level increases in all sectors of Higher Education. Neglect Ray Glass, legislative director of the Student Association of the State University (SASU), emphasized that the report does not differ from previous policies of the Board of Regents. During the last legislative session, the Regents devised a new student financial aid program that would have offered substantial financial assistance to students attending the more expensive private colleges while providinly only negligible increases for SUNY sudents. The rationale was to reinstate a “competitive equilibrium” between the SUNY colleges and the private institutions which supposedly were having financial problems. However, a similar financial aid package, the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), was passed by the State Legislature. Charging that the Regents have traditionally been the mouthpiece for private colleges, Mr. Glass said, “This policy (to increase SUNY tuition] represents a continuation of their policy of neglect toward public higher education.” The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

FOR YOU. le, Treasurer �4-point proposal Administration keeps Day Care Center open by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor Day Care Center representatives have adopted a four-point proposal by the Administration that commits the University to keeping the Center operating for the remainder of the semester and establishes tentative procedures for working out the Center’s long-range funding dilemna. The administration proposal was presented to Day Care representatives Sunday at a meeting with Merton Ertell, acting vice-president for Academic Affairs. Also present at the meeting were Anthony Lorrenzetti, associate vice-president for Student Affairs, Donald Larson, associate vice-president for Health Sciences, and Dorothy Lin, a representative of the School of Social Work. The four-point plan stresses the University’s intention of maintaining day care as an ongoing program and establishes a “senior advisor” to help the Center present its budget needs and assist it in “getting the right amount of money,” according to Kathline Cassiol, Day Care Center director. It also calls for the organization of a consortium of groups concerned with day care to work out the Center’s future funding. Ultimatum Although Day Care representatives have informed Dr. Ertell of their agreement with the proposal, Ms. Cassiol felt the four-point plan was an ultimatum. “If we didn’t acdept the terms,” she said, “the Center would probably have to close.” The administration’s proposal, which was outlined in a letter drafted by Dr. Ertell, was agreed upon after a long debate over parental control of Day Care operations, Ms. Cassiol said. “Parents are vitally concerned with making an important contribution to the Day Care Center’s activities,” she emphasized. The role that parents will play in developing the consortium and influencing future policy making, however, has yet to be decided, Ms. Cassiol explained. Thus, while the Day Care representatives have agreed they feel the issue is still surrounded by ambiguity and plan to work for more satisfactory representation. “Parents do not consider the battle won they want a vote,” Ms. Cassiol asserted. - The Day Care Center has been trying to secure funds for its continued operation since the beginning of the semester, because of a cutback of $29,000 from Sub-Board. Day Care supporters have been staging rallies several times a week to dramatize their plight. After being told by the Administration that they must become tied to an academic unit to receive funds, Day Care representatives contacted the seven University provosts to try to work out some kind of arrangement. They were subsequently informed that it was Dr. Ertell, not the provosts, who had the authority to channel faculty salary lines into the Day Care Center. Last week, Day Care Center representatives rejected a proposal by Dr. Ertell to divert funds from the Center’s Spring budget into its current budget because they felt it would result in a severe financial crisis in January. By accepting the four-point plan, the Day Care Center’s rejection may not apply any more, Ms. Cassiol explained. However, she said that diverting funds from next semester’s Day Care budget into this semester would still not be sufficient.

Members read poems, a parable and cited a diversity of programs and experiences to give the Committee an idea of what their College is about. The open hearing was far livlier than previous hearings where other Colleges gave oral presentations and then answered questions from the Committee, a long tedious process which sometimes bored the participants and wore thin the Committee’s patience. Instead, College F distributed name cards, programs, apples and encouraged participation from the audience and the Committee. Its answers to Committee inquiries were often punctuated b'' enthusiastic bursts of applause. But the College’s constituency was also mindful of the grave nature of the hearing, which will partly determine whether they will be recommended for chartering by the Committee. “The future of our College, and directly some of our lifestyles, is at stake,” said student Jeff Benson. Anarchy and collectivism College F stresses anarchy and collectivism. Its pedagogical style relates individual experiences to broader, more abstract ideas by means of open, meaningful dialogues. Courses arise from the “felt needs” of students who are much more motivated than under normal circumstances, the College’s representatives told the Committee. Collectivity does not contradict anarchy, they pointed out. Instead, the charter maintains that collectivity is a way to link community experiments to a broader range of activities. “Cooperatives, political collectives, urban communes, farming communities, our own staff, ethnic groups, some extended families, and similar groupings all share the experience of a small group of people, with a common trust and purpose acting together,” the charter states. The idea of relating a person’s experiences or present situation to an abstract idea was also emphasized. “It means that during a discussion of some abstract idea, we try to think of some experience in our lives in which that idea is rooted, sometimes experiences happening right in the classroom,” the charter explains. Paradigms Mr. Benson related his experiences in a College F course, the Mass Psychology of Facism, where he said the relationships between the students in class were shown to be paradigms for all the repressive tendencies in mankind. “You do not have to study Germany in 1930 to study facism, racism or sexism. You can study College F, the people within ten feet of you in a classroom,” he said. The College, Mr. Benson added, has “the ability to assimilate five steps of education into one.” Several speakers indicated that College F was the first place they had been able to engage in frank and open discussions about themselves and their relationships to other people. The classes in Male Studies, they said, were especially successful in breaking down the usual backslapping, supportive, chauvinist-based male exchanges which society encourages, they said. The class provided some with “the first real male relationships anyone in that class ever had,” one student claimed Another student told the Committee about his first contacts with College F, about 2 years ago, when he was first coming out as a gay person. “It was very helpful to have people to help me put it together. It was the only place to have free, open discussions.” A prominent part of the College is its course on the Polish-American Experience in Buffalo. “We found it strange that in a city this size, where one out of three people are Polish, there is no program for Polish studies,” explained Jack Bayer, who teaches the course. The course carefully studies the Polish family unit in Europe around 1900 and the way this unit changed with immigration to America. It discusses Polish-Americans in different areas of the city, state country. and Polish-American students are encouraged to discuss their background and feelings about their heritage. One Polish-American student who took the class read his poem “In the Flavor,” which described his reactions to his background and his people. Another student, Dave Fisher, read his poem about the relationship between his father and himself, entitled, “My Father Going to Work.” Guru and Slug College F instructor Bob Haskoff began the the story of Abigail, Benjamin, Sinbad, Guru and Slug, and then asked volunteers to list the characters in order of moral value. Mr. Haskoff said such exercises can be used with role-playing and role-switching, which reveal the complexity of the moral judgements involved. Committee members asked the College to describe what made them unique to the University and thereby deserving of being chartered. “The uniqueness is that people are learning in College F. Most of the University is dead, it’s a farce,” instructor Paul Desing said. The relationship here [the University] destroys learning, he added, but College F has a way of getting around this. “You can see the vitality here,” Mr. Desing remarked. One student felt the Committee’s insistence on “uniqueness” within the University and the Collegiate system coupled with the demand for academic legitimacy put the Colleges at an unfair disadvantage. “We have been asked to walk the thin line between fitting into the University and being unique,” he told the Committee. presentation by telling Astrology “We don’t have to justify ourselves by academic standards, but I’m sure we would qualify because the books have been read and the papers have been written,” another student observed. Several Committee members asked the College to better define their academic subject matter. Non-voting Committee member Jonathan Reichert said: “What are the limits on F’s program? What will (College F be taught next year? What’s on Curriculum Coordinator Charley) Haney’s mind this year?” Dr. Reichert termed astrology “pure crap” and said that as a scientist, he would not allow a course on astrology to be taught. However, a College F student replied that the question was an insult to the intelligence of the College faculty. Earlier in the meeting, Mr. Haskoff had said that since the thrust of the College was to see itself outside social institutions, any course taught from this perspective would be appropriate. Friday, 1 November 1974 . The Spectrum . Page three �Uncovering the true facts of resisters, Draft scandals complex Watergate amnesty discussed General forum by David Haitkin Staff Writer Spectrum “Rather ordinary reporting produced extraordinary facts,” Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein explained in describing his exposure of the Watergate scandal before an audience of 250 at the State University College at Buffalo Monday night. Of the 2000 full-time reporters in Washington, most of the 14 working on Watergate directly after the break-in were covering events like hearings and press conferences and not, as he and Bob Woodward were, “attempting to find original material.” Mr. Bernstein said that because he and Mr. Woodward were relatively unestablished in Washington, they were “closer to the basis of reporting.” He attributed their success to the fact that they had to rely “on the most basic empirical method, things learned by doing basic police reporting and leg work, the kind that can be learned working on school papers.” Because he and Mr. Woodward were amazed at the enormity of the story they had stumbled upon, the two began to use what Mr. Bernstein called “the two-source rule.” That is, for every illegal practice they found, they sought at least two separate sources to confirm their information. After the break-in and the official pronouncement from John Mitchell that the White House had no part in it, Mr. Bernstein and Mr. Woodward tried unsuccessfully to contact high-level members of the Committee to Re-elect the President (CRP). From these initial contacts with CRP, Mr. Bernstein received the impression that the organization was “organized along the lines of the KGB (the Russian secret service). The fear we encountered indicated the stakes were higher than we or anyone perceived, but we still had no idea of where the investigation would lead,” he confessed. White House creation “We obtained a list of all employees of CRP,” Mr. Bernstein continued, noting the difficulty of obtaining that document. “We then started figuring out phone extensions, who worked for whom. Little pieces began to fall together.” One of the first and most important things the two reporters learned was that the CRP was not a political consulting firm, but “wholly a creation of the White House, that reported only to the White House.” He said he obtained information from lower level workers who “had less of an ax to grind, who had less of a vested interest in concealing facts that disturbed them.” Eventually Nixon campaign treasurer Hugh Sloan helped make sense of the scattered information and Mr. Bernstein and Mr. Woodward had gleaned from these low-level sources “We learned a few things, one of which was that a secret fund held in a safe in the office of Maurice Stans had funded the Watergate Break-in,” he said. By continuing to employ basic reporting techniques. Carl Bernstein -Kapp like knocking on doors and speaking to 50 to 60 people, Mr. Bernstein found that there had been a clean-up operation soon after the break-in, directed by John Mitchell. The results of the operation were the wholesale destruction of documents, the concoction of a cover story, and the telling of low-level workers not to volunteer any information. “Switch blade” Mr. Bernstein recalled that before beginning the investigations, he and Mr. Woodward thought of the Nixon White House as a “smooth running machine.” There was no impression of the ineptitude or “the switch blade mentality that was almost pervasive.” Noting the change in reporting that came from the Vietnam War, and the discrepancy between what was revealed at press conferences and what was actually being done behind closed doors, Mr. Bernstein said reporters must seek “the best obtainable version of the truth.” He criticized reporters who simply accepted as the truth official pronouncements from people such as Ron Ziegler and Henry Kissinger.

Thomas W.Weber DAY II The Community Action Corps (CAC) and the Graduate Philosophy Association conducted a general forum Tuesday night to discuss amnesty for Vietnam era war resisters and to organize local opposition to the controversial B-l bomber.

Mr. Dawson, coordinator of Americans for Amnesty, called President Ford’s amnesty proposal “no amnesty at all. The clemency board does not have the power to remove a felony from someone’s record,” he said. “Therefore, any person in exile for refusing to report to his draft board will still have the felony recorded on his permanent record even after ‘retribution’ has been paid.” Mr. Dawson pointed out that the evaders’ “constitutional rights would be waived when they return to the clemency board.” He is now working to increase pressure on Congress to push through a total amnesty bill. In light of the seven full amnesties previously granted by Congress, Americans for Amnesty believes that they can persuade the legislative body to grant a full, universal amnesty now. open 24 hrs. dally J ffTHTT �Democrat Clark wants integrity in gov’t, and limited campaign donations by Joseph P.

Page five �LaFalce to fight widespread unemployment by Jenny Cheng Staff Writer Spectrum John LaFalce, Democratic-Liberal State Assemblyman from the 140th Assembly District,i is seeking tfie Congressional seat to be vacated by retiring Rep. Henry P. Smith III (R., N.Y.). His opponent on Nov. 5 is Russell Rourke, Mr. Smith’s former administrative aide. Mr. LaFalce has represented the 140th District, which covers part of North Buffalo, the Town of Tonawanda and part of the City of Tonawanda, since 1972. From 1970 to 1972, he represented Kenmore and Tonawanda in the State Senate. Mr. LaFalce’s major campaign issue has been the need to fight against inflation and unemployment, which has risen locally Jo a record high this year. He is also particularly concerned with revised Social Security provisions and improved health care plans. To reduce unemployment, Mr. LaFalce proposes that tax incentives be given to business to stimulate hiring. “If businesses are not encumbered by additional taxes, employment will rise,” he says. Mr. LaFalce also believes in channelling credit to mass power industries and in select credit control by the government. “This way the government can channel funds to industries that utilize the most manpower,” he contents. Surtax opposed Mr. LaFalce is opposed to the five percent surtax proposed by President Ford because he believes, “this measure does not help to stop the inflation spiral.” Instead of raising taxes, he favors a $5 billion cut in public spending, including cuts in military spending. He also proposes the establishment of a minimum income tax for big businesses and high income individuals. “Many times big business, as well as certain individuals, get away without paying income taxes,” the Assemblyman argues. In addition to placing stricter controls on big business, Mr. LaFalce believes the government should make more of an effort to pursue anti-trust violators. “An example Administrations have been lax in cutting of an industry now violating the anti-trust tax loopholes thus far,” he added. laws is the sugar refining industry, which received 100 percent profits last year,” Mr. Social Security On the issue of Social Security reform LaFalce points out. “The Nixon-Ford John LaFalce Mr. LaFalce believes that at present, there is no provision in the Social Security Act for a proportional payments system according to incomes. “The Social Security tax should be based on the same criteria as the income tax,” he says. “Right now, the factory worker is paying the same amount per year as a highly-paid professional, and both are receiving equal coverage in Social Security. The payment is a much larger cut out of the factory worker’s salary.” Mr. LaFalce also promises to push for health care reform. He would like to see the establishment of a National Health Insurance Program and a Health Maintenance Program, funded primarily by a flat fee that would provide an individual with total health care. There should be as well more funds provided for outpatient drugs to the elderly, he says. The emphasis in Mr. LaFalce’s health care plans is on preventive medicine. If elected, Mr. LaFalce plans to concentrate on bringing more federal funds for public works to his district. He feels his district has not been adequately funded for government projects, and notes, “federal projects within the district will help alleviate high unemployment.” Rourke calk for an end to the seniority system by Joseph P. Esposito City Editor Russell Rourke is the Republican candidate for Congress in the 36th Congressional District. He has served as Administrative Assistant to Rep. John Pillion from 1960 to 1964, and to Rep. Henry P. Smith III (who is the retiring incumbent in the 36th) from 1964 to this summer. His opponent is State Assemblyman John J. LaFalce. Mr. Rourke believes that Americans can restore confidence in government “by electing people in whom we have confidence.” He cited a recent poll which indicates that only 16 percent of the people feel Congress is doing a competent job. “Yet polls show that Democratic candidates will win in a landslide on Tuesday,” he notes. The Lewiston Republican says that Congress is caught in a “stranglehold of Democratic control,” and the predicted landslide is only a personal reaction to Nixon, Mr. Agnew and Watergate, Rourke believes. “The public, rightly or wrongly, appears to be lashing out at Republican candidates,” he says. He endorses “an admixture of public and private” political campaign financing, feeling that the recently passed campaign finance bill is a step in the right direction, but that “it doesn’t go far enough.” He approves the limiting of individual contributions, but believes more legislation is needed to curb the influence of big labor and big business as well. He suggests that any political campaign law must give all Russell Rourke TT'/'V | L’ � L/ A -Li 1 . The Spectrum Friday, 1 November 1974 . • J11JJ would help to remedy the havoc wreaked by the war. He is “satisfied that a continuing effort is being made by both federal and slate authorities to satisfy, clarify, and solve any questions about safety factors that might exist,” in respect to nuclear power. “Nuclear energy has to be utilized if the safely factors are met,” he argues. “The government must undertake a selling job to sell the general public on the safety of nuclear plants." Mr. Rourke feels it is unrealistic to believe that the U.S. will be self-sufficient in oil by 1980. He supports “a heavy diplomatic effort” by the U.S. to achieve a balance between oil producing and oil consuming nations. Depoliticization necessary Mr. Rourke argues that the Department of Justice, the IRS, and other agencies need to be depoliticized. He candidates an equal opportunity, without proposes that such agencies be given favoring incumbents, citing abuses of the “independent status so they could operate free mailing privileges of incumbents as an independently of political pressures.” example of the advantages held by He favors an elimination or a sharp incumbents. alteration of the Congressional seniority Mr. Rourke said that there should be system. “It’s absolutely archaic.

He favors sharply limited military aid Page six to South Vietnam, and feels economic aid ol* J Inflation Mr. Rourke is pleased that President Ford has “brought the problems of the economy and inflation to the front burner.” He opposes full wage-price controls, though, and favors sharp reductions in federal spending. He also endorses programs which would encourage increased productivity in the private sector and tax credits to promote business activity. Mr. Rourke favors a program of public employment to ease the problem of unemployment. He also urges the easing of monetary restraints and the lowering of prime interest rates. He criticizes high-interest U.S. Treasury notes as a cause of the mortgage shortage, which in turn leads to greater unemployment in the housing industry, he says. Health insurance Mr. Rourke favors a program of national health insurance. “It is a critical need in our society,” he believes. The only Election Day — question is how extensive is it going to be will it be as expensive as the $61 billion Kennedy-Mills bill, or closer to the old Nixon bill which would have cost some $7 billion?” he asks. “Mass transit is an absolute necessity for the Greater Buffalo area,” Mr. Rourke also asserts. “We’re economically stifled without mass transit, and its absence prevents orderly growth.” It is “high on my priority list,” he explained. However, he feels highways can wait until more human concerns cancer and epilepsy research, for example, are attended to. - — Consumer protection Mr. Rourke sees the Consumer Protection Agency as “having good and bad points.” The public needs protection, but the potential bureaucratic restrictions on business may inhibit business activity in small businesses as well as large. “Any of those areas of consumer protection that dwell on the pure protection of the consumer are great that’s the definition of the Agency itself. Any unnecessary impediments on business may be self-defeating.” He opposes paying Social Security benefits out of the General Fund. “If the cost of Social Security comes out of the General Fund, we might lose sight of those costs. I was for the cost-of-living feature hooked onto business increases.” Mr. Rourke called portable pension rights “a critical necessity,” and he was pleased to see the recently enacted bill become law. He also opposes “any further federal gun legislation providing for more restrictive regulations . . . the New York legislation is good. On the federal level, I advocate mandatory minimum penalties for crimes committed with the use of firearms. I think this strikes at the real criminal.” - Tues., November 5th local polls open 6 a.m. —9 p.m. ffft �Central Community School Invite* you to a HALLOWEEN TREAT Saturday 144th District Three-way Assembly race Nov2nd/l:OQ pm by Thom Kristich Spectrum Theatre of Youth Co.

He made long before countless others joined the bandwagon it his business to denounce the indiscriminate strafing of peasant villages in Indochina. Mr. Clark's humanitarian concerns have also been demonstrated by his heavy involvement in the defense of the Attica Brothers, his work on behalf of Frank Serpico during the Knapp — — Commission Investigations, and by his defense of Father Phillip Berrigan in the Harrisburg trials. Mr. Clark is waging his campaign as a fight against the big money that has elected convictionless, plastic politicians to high government office year after year. By limiting contributions to his campaign to $100, he has demonstrated that he would rather be his own man and lose than win the election on the coattails of wealthy businessmen. As a legislator with ties only to his conscience, Mr. Clark would support measures allowing the federal government to aggressively fight inflation and rising unemployment, even if it means closing many of the tax loopholes that currently favor large corporations. In contrast to the Ford Administration's hands-off approach to boosting the economy, Mr. Clark wisely favors the immediate imposition of comprehensive wage and price controls and a $25 million reduction in the defense budget. Vet he realizes that cutting back on defense could precipitate the loss of many jobs and has plans for a careful program of economic conversion that would prevent dislocations and related economic hardships. At a time when energy consumption is a must, Mr. Clark would act aggressively to end American dependence on Arab oil. Although many elected officials are reluctant to get on the bad side of Big Business because their re-election depends on its support, Mr. Clark strongly advocates using the trucking-industry-dominated Highway Trust Fund network of mass transit facilities, and has called of a free mass transit system. Senator Javits, meanwhile, during his 18 years in the Senate, has compiled a noteworthy record of legislation. He has been a particularly strong proponent of pension reform and of measures designed to safeguard Congress from relinquishing authority to the Executive Branch. However, much of the legislation that bears his name was initiated long after the need for it became apparent. "Too little, too late" amply describes Senator Javits' actions in relation to the impeachment and pardon of Richard Nixon. Although the Senator has racked up political mileage from his role in the passage of the War Powers Act, which was designed to prevent "future Vietnams," the substance of the bill was greatly watered down as it went from Congressional committee to committee. In contrast to the bill's co-sponsor, Thomas Eagleton, who refused to support the legislation in its final version and even fought for its defeat, Mr. Javits enthusiastically supported a bill that for the first time legitimized undeclared war. Finally, Mr. Javits' refusal to place a ceiling on his campaign contributions, which include $15,000 from Nelson Rockefeller whose confirmation he must vote on, indicates that allegiance to his contributors will restrict him from taking action to build an extensive for a feasibility study against large corporations. Ramsey Clark, on the other hand, has demonstrated that his principles will take precedence over pressure from corporate lobbies. His candor, refreshing idealism, his genuine concern for the people of this country and his liberal views on how to solve many of the nation s problems make him an ideal candidate for U.S. Senator. Hoyt for Assembly Although Al Hausbeck has been a responsible State Assemblyman for the past 15 years, we feel Democrat William Hoyt will bring a fresh, new approach to the State Legislature if he wins the race for the 144th District seat. His active concern with the living conditions in the city of underlies a Buffalo its parks, its housing, and its neighborhoods broader desire to preserve our abused environment before it is too late. Among the legislation he has sponsored as a member of the Buffalo Common Council are a bond resolution providing for the restoration of Delaware Park and a proposal to develop recycling centers throughout Buffalo. Describing the State Legislature as “a meeting of lords and vassals," Mr. Hoyt seeks to increase its effectiveness by doing away with "part-time government by moonlighting legislators" and halting "empty chair" voting. His concern with the completion of the Amherst Campus and his desire to regulate inflationary areas of the economy indicate that Mr. Hoyt would make an intelligent, active contribution to the State Assembly. — — Page eight. TTie Spectrum Friday, 1 November 1974 . The Rome Food Conference starts next week and could be a turning point. World population is four billion and will double in 35 years at the present birthrate. Only that won t happen. Demographers are almost sure now that the earth won’t support another four billion and that if the birthrate isn’t checked the death rate will go up. In the meantime we can assuage growing hunger by increasing food supply. But that takes world discipline, government intervention and above all, a global food reserve. The man we are sending to head our delegation at Rome, Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz, opposes government intervention and “bureaucratic control,” he is a rigid ideologue on free markets. He and the Administration’s lack of policy may well wreck the conference. Everything depends on the United States. -It is different from the Bucharest Population Conference, also under UN auspices. Nobody at Bucharest could control the options of 125 nations. But food is different. The United States is to food what Arabs are to oil, only more so. About half of all exported food, by bulk, is American food. There are only three or four nations that export much: Canada, Argentina, Australia and the U.S. We are by far the biggest. When you think of America’s riches don’t think of coal, steel, factories: think ol 15 (eet ot fat humus under the cornfields in Iowa farmland. And the right climate and water supply! For 25 years the world looked confidently to the U.S. as a food bank. We had so much food we gave it away and pretended it was humanitarian. The mystic word for foreign charity was “P.L. 480,” the law that permitted cheap shipments. At home the food stamp plan was as much to empty bulging grain bins as to fill hungry kids. Now it’s all changed. It’s changed because upward world population has finally intersected upward world food supply and will stay that way till we do something about it. Consider these items; the world faces, for the first lime, shortages in four land, water, fertilizer and energy. The basics best arable land is mostly under the plough and the big struggle may be for water. (Imagine a war over cloud seeding!). The oceans are over-fished, believe it or not, the sea catch of table fish has steadily diminished since 1970. The affluent nations including Russia are following America’s example and eating more meat (a particularly “wasteful” use of grain). Food and fertilizer prices (fertilizer comes in large part from natural gas and oil) are way up. In sum, the great American food bank is depleted; 50 million previously idle U.S. farm acres have been thrown into the struggle but still U.S. grain reserves as a ratio of world consumption are down to a scary 26 days, compared to 95 days in 1961. The trouble with hungry people is that they make such a fuss about it. They don’t go off quietly and die. They’re not gentlemen. Probably a billion people go to bed hungry at night. And there are 80 million more people born on earth every year, a city the size of Des Moines every day. Oh yes, we can raise more food! We can grow bananas on Pike’s Peak. Most food experts agree that increases must now come from the - developing countries themselves, the hungry countries. If India’s per acre yield equalled the U.S. it would more than double grain production. All that it needs is cheap fertilizer, insecticides, energy (to pump water) and capital; redistribution of land, reform of the tenant system and a revolution in social structure. To do the least of these things takes time. And above all, for the minute, there must be a global food reserve system. The United States should lake the lead, says the prestigious Committee for Economic Development in an important report this week: U.S. government farm policy “has not kept pace, has no formal established reserve stocks policy; we urge a spirit of leadership." And so the eye naturally to Mr. But/.. Butz is the man who gave you the secret subsidized 400 million bushel Russian grain sale in 1973. That raised wheat prices fine. Some in Washington are so convinced of Butz’s hatred of government intervention that they cannot believe he will cooperate at Rome. Yes, they say, he will make liberal professions, but include unacceptable American conditions. Some call the conference a fiasco in advance. Butz is smart, single-tracked, tactless, and he is after one goal, high U.S. farm prices. When housewives boycotted meat he blurted “prices are at a 20-year high and they should be; it’s about time that things were getting better.” To him a food reserve, domestic or international, means restraints: “that means less chance for a profit for farmers,” he said, July 26. When it was noted that the U.S. uses I 5 percent of its fertilizer for lawns, cemeteries and golf courses, or as much as India uses on farms, and that a ton of fertilizer in the U.S. yields only five tons of food but in starved India a dozen, he replied lightly, “1 think Americans want their golf courses.” “we must not get As to famine hysterical,” says Butz. He is as cheerful about hunger as other Ford advisers are about recession. Has America lost its food reserves? Butz rejoiced before the American Bakers Association, September 18; “Our grain bins are empty,” he boasted attributing it to good planning. “The road we are now planning,” he added, “moves management in the food complex away from the bureaucratic hierarchy of Washington.” Fine! The countries at Rome expect a major new commitment from the U.S. says Lester Brown of the Overseas Development Council, in a handy new paperback primer, By Bread Alone. The C.E.D. report this week, prepared by a dozen prominent business leaders stated, “We recommend that the federal government assume the principal responsibility for establishing stockpiles.” President Ford pledges support, Henry Kissinger opens the conference, and then Butz takes over. Warnings go up everywhere. Without mentioning Butz, FAO director general Dr. A.H. Boerma said last week: “Any purist concept of international free trade in food is dangerously outdated.” Hubert Humphrey, who first proposed the conference and who will attend as an observer but not a delegate, told the Senate this month, “He [Butz] concedes that he is strongly opposed to domestic and international food reserves... I am disturbed that we do not seem to have a clear-cut policy.” Senators Humphrey, McGovern and Nelson will be men to watch. With 6 percent of world population the U.S. consumes 40 percent of the world’s resources and exports half of all exported food: it has the awesome power to decide which ones of 40 undeveloped countries survives; which starves. — �Magic Lantern 'Shanks': an insulting blow to a mime's comic genius by Randi Schnur Arts Editor There is an old Hollywood proverb which states that "he who has proven his worth in one medium shouldn't push his or, at least, there certainly ought luck" to be, and Marcel Marceau and William Castle should memorize it immediately. As star and director of Shanks, billed as "a new concept in the macabre" and described in its title frame as "A Grim Fairy Tale," they have insulted real horror stories, the Brothers Grimm, and Marceau's own unique talent at one crushing blow. The art of the mime is one in which subtlety of thought or expression counts for very little. If an idea can't be communicated wordlessly to the back of an auditorium, its interpreter has failed half his audience. Movements of the face, as well as those of the body, must be precise, steamlined, and, above all, threaten to sink below his chin, just as they aim for his forehead when his mood changes. Any less reactions would be suffocated before they got past his make-up. His art is stylized and unreal, but extremely beautiful. — exaggerated. When Marcel Marceau, who is perhaps the world's greatest mime, does his act, his face is hidden behind a heavy mask of white grease paint, black eye make-up, and red lipstick. When he is sad, you know It — the corners of high brightly-painted mouth Overblown charm Transferred to an over-sized movie screen, though, Marceau's expressions lose their clown-like charm and become merely ludicrous. He seems to have three moods wildly happy, hopelessly miserable, and and any more haffway-between-the-two — — complicated shades of feeling must be inferred from context rather than from his face. Malcolm Shanks (Marceau) is a young deaf-mute who makes puppets, loves small animals and children, and represents Innocence, Purity, and The Forces of Good. He lives with his step-sister Mrs. Barton and her husband, better known as "The Town Drunk and His Shrewish Wife," as the occasional old-fashioned title cards which serve as a sentimental narration so picturesquely put it. When Old Man Walker, whose incredible wrinkles look like they were sculpted out of papier mache (which they probably were Marceau — plays this role as well), decides to hire an assistant who is not likely to talk too much about his somewhat eccentric physiological experiments, he naturally hits on Malcolm as the perfect choice. The Bartons are thrilled now their boarder will have to — "put down that stupid puppet and get to work" and Malcolm sets off on his fateful "Journey into the Unknown." — Life study Those mysterious experiments turn out to involve pinning three electrodes into a dead animal's neck and arms, and then twisting dials on a small remote control device to bring it, more or less, back to life. The gruesome pair manage to resurrect only one frog and one rooster (the sight of this perilously air borne corpse somehow doesn't bother Malcolm, standing right under it, nearly as much as it does the audience) before Old Walker evens the balance by dying himself. Well, here are the extra electrodes, and there’s Malcolm's only adult friend, and Science must march on and the deaf-mute's next moves are as obvious as the expressions on his face. When Barton comes to Walker's mansion to find out what's been holding up those $500 paychecks he and his wife have been dividing between themselves, he is greeted by a silent, extraordinarily stiff old man and a violently inhospitable rooster which pecks him to death. Good has, presumably, triumphed? and Malcolm gets another piece (not his last) of raw material. — * ilitillM Death takes a walk During the next hour or so, the ultimate puppeteer tests his collection of toys in front of the grocer (played, incidentally, by William Castle), his pre-teen lady-love Celia, and a gang of stereotypical (of we have by now come to expect course the expected) motorcyclists. His battle with this band of motorized cretins, whose idea of violent sexual assault seems to involve grabbing Celia and kissing her to death, is heralded by two titles announcing that "The Dead Fight the Living" and "Good Versus Evil," in case anyone should otherwise fail to catch the point. But in the final scene, which brings us full circle by recreating the opening puppet-show sequence, Castle implies that it was all just a bad dream no one fought anybody, kiddies, so stop screaming and laugh at the pretty puppets. This little device cancels out any meaning, however heavy-handed, the rest of the film might — — Helena Kallianiotes (whose many tiny roles included the memorable hitchhiker obsessed by filth in Five Easy Pieces), brings some real feeling to her small part, but she can't even make a dent in the film's cartoonish shell.

Walker's first tentative stretches as he overcomes rigor mortis joint by joint are a marvelous parody of Malcolm/Marcel's own exquisite dancer's grace, and Chelton and Clay, given somewhat simpler routines to perform fare almost as well.

A date in November Audio 'truth'played by Chamber Society Marlboro, Vermont may seem a long way from Buffalo, but last Tuesday the spirit that symbolizes that famous city was embodied in the program Music From Marlboro, the opening event in the 51st season of the Buffalo Chamber Music Society. For those unfamiliar with it, the Marlboro Music Festival is perhaps the most prestigious gathering for the performance of chamber music in the world. It is to chamber music what the Newport Jazz Festival is to jazz. Many of the world's most famous classical musicians have contributed to Marlboro, among them, the late Pablo Casals, who for 13 summers participated as guest artist to conduct the Festival Orchestra and give cello master classes. At the Festival each summer, approximately 25 musicians are selected to form four touring groups. They rehearse and prepare a program of chamber music masterworks for varied combinations of voice and instruments that are not often heard in live performances. The group that came here was led by violinist Felix Galmir, a distinguished 'elder stateman' among classical musicians. He was surrounded by youth, but not inexperience. I must begin by saying that the concert was executed brilliantly. A pleasant retreat from the aggressive, dramatic energy of a rock concert, it provided a mellow, refined mood whose beauty was infinitely more difficult to achieve. It is not a system to be viewed as how well vs. how poorly the pieces were played, but rather, to what degree of subtle grandeur did the artists hone their ability. Chico. So argues Willie when his daughter (Karen Ackerman) is bloodied in the apartment elevator late one night. There's an interesting scene reminiscent (unintentionally?) of The Bicycle Thief in which Cy hunts down a kid who stole hjf son's bicycle.

Even if folks reviews, their choice is mainly do read predetermined by their past reactions to certain screen personalities, directors, or film genres. And since the box office is still the moviemakers' Muse, it should come as no surprise that Carroll O'Connor stars in Ivan Passer's Law and Disorder as a sort of diluted Archie who decides to take the problems of Coop City into his own tightly-clenched fists. Walter Kerr and a team of wild Polacks ain't gonna keep the average AH in the Family zealot from High Mass . . over to an abandoned garage where bikes and wrecks of bikes are stashed. Cy picks out his child's bike and smashes it screaming, "You wanted a bike? There's your bike! And if anything else happens to my kid I'll give this to you too!" Karen Black appears in a heartbreakingly abrasive role as Gloria, Cy's hairdressing assistant. In response to a customer's misgivings about her work she shrills, "Don't give me none of your crap. You looked like shit when you walked in and you'll look like shit when you walk out," points a bump and grind at Cy, and leaves to sunbathe on his hot patrol car outside. Noble savage Although pot shots are taken at every character in the film, there is an attempt to imbue Willie with some amount of nobility. When his wife Irene expresses skepticism towards his plan to buy up a corner coffee shop, he tells the owner how he once took a subway to a horse race instead of a cab. Irene had him worrying about money, but after he arrived, too late to place his bet. Sweet Water placed first. He would have made $20,000 that day. "I'm not a flop, Irene. I’m just too late." "I have to get back to work," his wife responds. The climax is rendered in blunt strokes when Willie finds his daughter pondering whether a glass will break if she drops it. (A new dimension in dumb broads these days: when stoned they can act even dumber without being actually stupid, heaven forbid.) Willie pursues her pill-pushing Puerto Rican with the boys, and Cy is sacrificed in a parody (unintentional?) of Romeo and Juliet. neither. To convince us that Coop City is indeed in need of help, we are shown how it is ravaged daily by bare-assed old men in raincoats, Cadillac Bitching back In the last scene Willie leaves his cab in defiance of two passengers' bitching. "I shouldn't have to do don't want to." Non servio once again but this is no mindless cop-out like Irene's, but a conscious rejection. Only men articulate their beliefs in the film: women are attacked, fired, and occasionally lock their bosses in closets until they bark like doggies. Only the latter approaches effectiveness, but only in the sense that a madperson's actions are effective. Moral: Carroll O'Connor, should a man of your talents have to play lovable bigots for the rest of his career just because liberal T.V. and film producers nothing Mozart and Brahms All the pieces rendered in the first half of the program were for quintets. The major works performed were String Quintet in B fiat major. K. 174 by Mozart and String Quintet in F major, opus 88 by Brahms. Both pieces were played very well, but the Brahms seemed more suited to the temperament of the group. During the Mozart piece, first violin Galmir's exuberant style conflicted with the delicate interweaving of melodic themes characteristic of Mozart's work. However, the Brahms, with its rich textures and gentle sentiments, allowed him the latitude to express his very personal style. In each work Peter Zazofsky, second violin, manifested a handling that was both firm and balanced, providing delightful contrast to Galmir. Still a young man, there is much to expect from Zazofsky in the future. He started serious study with Joseph Silverman in Boston at the age of 5 and has steadily added awards to his rocketing career; his latest being first prize in last year's San Francisco Symphony Competitions. And from the ladies The women members of the Quintet, Kim Kashkashian, Nancy Ellis, and Sharon Robinson (first viola, second viola, cello respectively) all illustrated great strength in the handling of their instruments. Most notable was Ms. Kashkashian who, in the first (Allegro moderato) and fourth (Allegretto) movements of Mozart work, had to blend the same themes that the first violin was required to play. This called not only for rapid technical handling, but also for a light tenderness that would have been lost on a lesser artist. The warm richness that two violas can lend to an ensemble was demonstrated in the Allegro energico finale of the Brahms' work. The thick overlay of deep tones granted it a stature that was grandiloquent, but tastefully so. Explosive and energetic The second half of the program consisted of Piano Quartet in E flat major, opus 87 by Dvorak. Lydia Artymiw demonstrated a depth of expression that lends credibility to the rave reviews that followed her New York debut recital at the Metropolitan Museum in October 1974. Full of energy, the piece often consisted of the string section attempting to subdue the intense violence of the piano, always in contrast, finding only a temporary ally in the cello, which would eventually return to its string siblings. Ms. Artymiw was in full control, playing a piece that required both powerful handling and pinpoint temporal precision. The entire group performed masterfully, approaching the work in a cohesive manner without betraying its explosive nature. Coming soon ... The Buffalo Chamber Music Society will sponsor its next concert in conjunction with the music department here for a portion of the Slee cycle on November 19th. The acoustics in the Mary Seaton room at Kleinhans (where the concerts are held) are true and vibrant, capturing the delicate resonance of each instrument. This kind of audio 'truth' gives each performance a warmly intimate feeling; a feeling impossible to capture in stereo equipment.

Spectrum Arts Staff literary, musical, There are some works of art theatrical, whatever that divorce themselves from the conventions of the form in an effort to expand the artistic perspective of both the "spectators" (audience, reader, observer) and the creating artists. The problem in approaching such a work is in confusing structure with content; limits and boundaries can determine, in a way, the eventual shape of an artistic effort, but not what it consists of, and it may be necessary to break away from those boundaries in order to achieve the goal the attist has in mind. Deviating from established patterns merely for the sake of difference, however, is a gross error. Doing so results in an empty shell, a form with no content. While a work of the former type may open the "doors of perception," in Aldous Huxley's phrase, forcing the spectator out of passivity and into conscious involvement, the other type forces the observer to search for meanings that simply don't exist. This difference is the one between "new" art and pseudo-art, between an exploration and a fake. — — The Odessa File': exciting, intense The Odessa File is a man-hunt thriller, perfectly professional within its conventional designs, ano a completely satisfying two hours of Hollywood suspense. The film is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth, Forsyth's other best-seller. Day of the Jackal, was adapted to the screen last year and apparently The Odessa File was filmed to capitalize on its predecessor's financial success. In actuality, The Odessa File is worthy of success in its own right, for it is a much better picture. The Day of the Jackal was a thriller only in the loosest sense of the word. Some critics were impressed by its pacing and density of plot and detail. For my tastes, it was little more than a fast-paced bore. An approach of meticulous, documented detail was maintained throughout sense of humanity and personal interplay. The result was a level of emotional involvement that might make Jack Webb at the expense of any proud. Back The most revolutionary aspect of purge is its philosophy. As a rule, any work dealing in any way with life, death, man's place in the universe, or a theme of comparable magnitude, does so by symbolism, allusion, or some such indirect means. purge deals with those forces as themselves, not with representations of them. It presents not so much an individual man and woman as the concepts of man, woman, and mankind themselves. Its scale is nothing less than the universe. Inner meanings Words are often a downright ponderous tool by to express oneself. Dunn has said he is interested in "mind-to-mind communication," clearly, no compulsion is felt to speak if the meaning can be communicated more directly. The meanings of purge come through without blatancy indeed, which — New variation Avant-garde theatre itself is no news, God knows; neither are semi-scholarly dissections of the phenomenon, if anything so well established can still be called a "phenomenon." But it is in the light of constructive variation that I must consider purge, the performance event by Joseph Dunn and Irja Koljonen presented by the American Contemporary Theatre. Perhaps the most obvious thing that is "purged" in the course of the event is one's sense of what happens in the course of a "play." By conventional definition, purge has no plot, no characters, and no it's dialogue. As you enter the performing space you are not really proper to refer to it as a "stage" enveloped in darkness and your ears are assailed by an amplified rumble. The space is very large, filled only by a few poles on which are mounted giant discs that serve as light sources. Through this environment move a man and a woman (Margot Fein and Douglas Woolley), almost dwarfed by the surroundings. They travel about in silence, executing slow and graceful movements. Bruce Eaton's atonal electronic score supplies an almost constant, nearly deafening roar, giving way at times to softer tones. The voices of Dunn and Koljonen are heard, intoning single words with simple, basic meanings: "old," "work," "sleep," and "complete" when the even is over. . to reality The Odessa File features similar standards of plotting and pace; however, this time the story is filled out by characters who apparently live and breathe. In fact, some of the characterization is quite striking. Jon Voigt plays the lead, a free-lance German reporter tracking down a former member of the Nazi S.S. His performance may be his best since Midnight Cowboy. Under constant threat from a murderous secret organization, the Odessa, he relentlessly pursues the Nazi butcher for reasons no one knows. Voigt lends the role an intriguing presence, sporting a veneer of professional dispassion that barely checks the seething intensity that keeps him going on his mission of vengeance. His portrayal is both engaging and enigmatic and is crucial to the taut success of the film. The performances of the supporting cast are first-rate in general, and outstanding in particular in the case of Maximilian Schell. As the former concentration camp commandant hunted by Voigt, Schell portrays his Nazi villiany with low-keyed brilliance, his understated conviction making the character appear all the more warped and despicable. For slick, fast entertainment, see The Odessa File, now showing at —David Everitt the Plaza North Theater. — — Subjective event This may not sound very challenging, or very pleasant. I could see purge described as "a lot of noise and two people wandering around in the dark." In a purely literal sense, that's what it is, but purge cannot be approached purely objectively. Descriptions of the sounds, sights, etc. are one thing, but purge is planned as an event, not as a recitation of separate factors. In the course of the event, a gestalt is created, of which the observer is an important aspect. Everything combines in this, and without their (Their movements are drawn from Tai Ch'i Chuan, the Eastern body science.) The variances in lighting reveal fascinating textures in what is basically smooth, continued movement. Sustained lighting reveals fluidity; sporadic, flickering light shows how drastically even the smoothest movement changes position totally. Dunn plans to periodically revive both purge and The Unnameable, his adaptation of Samuel Beckett's novel which premiered last year at the ACT. For the moment, purge can be seen at the 1695 Elmwood, on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. It's one of the most interesting and stimulating theater pieces I've ever seen, and definitely worth your time if your taste runs beyond entertainment.

In fact, it wasn't until recently that photography was first looked at as a medium for artistic display. The average person will most likely think of newspaper photos. Brownie Box cameras, or Polaroid instant photography as being indicative of the photographic world. These feelings have, increasingly fallen by the wayside as more and more people have succumbed to shutter-clicking as a means of expressing their artistic growling. , Evidence of this is the immense success of Japanese cameras within the last ten or so years. One only has to look at the number of photographic ads of a variety in appearing publications to see that cameras are big business. Because cameras and photographic supplies have become such a lucrative business, there is an immense assortment of merchandise to choose from. The days are gone when the Great Yellow Father of Rochester was considered to be the only source of consistently high-quality photo large merchandise. This assortment has only baffled most prospective camera buyers and becomes even more complicated when a buyer has to go to several stores to evaluate the merits of various brands of equipment. Many a camera buyer has probably remarked that what this city needs is a camera store with all brands under one roof. Trying harder interest in consummate equipment that a photographer thinks he needs is the reason for shows such as this. Show-stopping Nikon The big show stoppers were displays that contained exotic equipment. The Nikon display attracted a large group because you could "play" with the new Nikon F2 camera, which was hooked up to a motor drive allowing the operator to shoot up to 5 frames per second.

It is no longer acceptable to read, let alone enjoy, fiction. Whether one is affiliated with the literary or the publishing establishments and thereby sponsors works with citations such as, "So candid it had to be a novel," or whether one endorses works that seem to be novels but instead crudely yet seriously insist on the truth of their scientific reliability as newly-disclosed documents of a secret world of Lithuanian midgets who conquered the West in 1000 B.C., or a benevolent sect within the Gestapo threatened by Soviet infiltration, or an avid enthusiast in the liberal or radical literary culture (and hence condemns fiction, especially non-realistic fiction, but essentially all fiction to the wastebin as frivolous or facile or irrelevant because it accomplishes nothing, fails even to provide the reader with sexual orgasm, and turns the citizen away from serious study of society's problems), there is complete agreement that modern man should direct his attention elsewhere perhaps to the "new" theatre, or to avant-garde cinema, but best of all, to an avid involvement in life itself. Fanny Hill becomes Xaviera Hollander, the "happy hooker." As is true with most trends in our "age of nostalgia," this is nothing new; it recalls, of course, those frequently-abused early novelists who were at pains to insist on the educational value of their work, a lesson to girls who might have become wayward, an example of gentlemanly behavior. "To me, at least, it appears a service rendered to good morals to unmask the methods employed by those whose morals are bad . . ." wrote Choderlos de Laclos, the marvelous sixteenth-century author of a work lovingly devoted to the depravity of a complex seduction plot. And though customs and tastes have changed, the writer of fiction who doesn't wish to be written off completely as "avant-garde" and, therefore, unreadable must provide his work and his readers with some sort of — rationale. In the case of the political-social world, the rationale is relevance. Although The Gulag Archipelago is obviously the book of the century, there would be some small merit in the novel of a Russian patriot who was not at Gulag, though he knew intimately all the right people who were, and wrote of a fictional but life-like character in the camps, provided the setting was realistic, the information factual, and the over-all theme of the work in some sense contributory to the solidarity of the political struggle. According to this view, it is precisely the non-fiction elements of the novel that enable it to be accessible as a novel. Those who are actively involved with a political or social movement embrace the fiction setting, character, or theme of which accurately coincides with their particular analysis of problematic modern conditions and depicts their hope for solution. Thus the art inspires (them) and is, in some sense, constructive. There is no place for the man who refuses to take a position, who is more interested in "perverse quirks of character" than in vituperative social analysis. Not only is this tendency considered useless, but the movement activist has no context within which to perceive a fiction of this sort. It is for this reason that certain feminist-oriented magazines insist upon short stories that are spiritually optimistic about women. Many minority poets and writers will censure another artist whose political stance is not appropriate. Popular critics, in the main, are in favor of these modes of consideration. It allows them to easily classify a writer for his ideology, and not his works, and they thus avoid having actually to discuss fiction. And many novelists are confused and perplexed, as well. In Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions, we can perceive an author torn between his instinct to tell a pleasurable story and his intellectual wish to constructively relate his art to the serious and "heavy" problems of society. Leon Trotsky perceived this situation of political art when he wrote, "This new art is incompatible with pessimism, with skepticism, and with all the other forms of spiritual collapse." He called upon artists to realize that "the Revolution is reflected in art . . to the extent to which the guild of new and old poets and artists becomes a part of the living tissue of the Revolution and learns to see . it from within and not without." But this is exactly what the writer of fiction must not do. It should be obvious that fiction actively confronts the vital elements of life, but in a different way than does a newspaper article or a protest rally; anyone not perceiving this is clearly too immersed in some form of ideology that limits a proper perspective. Whether or not a writer is a political activist or a hermit in his private life, he automatically stands away or detaches himself from the rhetoric level of the situation in order to conceive of it as fiction. The artist in him must stand apart from the struggle so that the struggle can be vitally converted into fiction; the result is a novel that is not less relevant for its inclusiveness but more so, not frivolous because of its factual distortions, but profound because of its frivolity. As an artist the fiction writer must be personally removed from his material to a sufficient degree for him to conceive of the whole and not the parts. Only then will the realistic event be properly and vitally converted to a fiction that Kyung-Wha Chung Plays Prokofiev confronts the social situation and its ramificiations. It goes without saying that this is an extremely difficult task. Ishmael Reed has been dealing with this dilemma for several years. It could be said that he writes as if he were in a futuristic society composing a quaint history of our time. Both Mumbo Jumbo and Yellow Back Radio Broke Down were marvelously inventive fictions, merging history with culture, myth with reality. But The Last Days of Louisiana Red is even better. Displaying a fictional imagination that never ceases to be delightfully on target, Reed creates a superb tale that encompasses voodoo, music, politics, soul food, the war of the sexes, American capitalism, black and white pop culture, the white radical movement, the Afro-American Greek myth, Amos 'n Andy, the Black identity, and the situation of human life today. He stands political movement, away from the banal rhetoric and captures the essence of the madness and vitality of modern life, producing a book about modern energies that loses none of its own fictional energies.

Dude believes Blue Oyster Cult's the only thing in the world. Carole King's new album, Wrap Around Joy, although I hate analogies, is probably her best since Tapestry. Maybe better. It's more symphonic, more jazzy, and more powerful. Good old Lou Adler produces Carole's album with great commerciality and seems to have changed his style to jazzy syncopation. Through not being bluesy, the album is the kind that dovetails well with Carole's soft-rock image. Carole still maintains her over-tracking of background vocals which everyone likes; Carole is mesmerise the foot into tapping and then puppet the body into moving. ''You're Something New" throws the mind into a trance. (You can see I'm beginning to get into the album?) "We Are All In This Together" leads to a valley of relaxation. Taking you to the meadow are The David Campbell String Section and The Eddie Kendricks Singers. Side two is even better. "Wrap Around Joy" stings you; you can feels, the sax of Jim Horn. The instruments eat you up but don't consume you. The shoobee doodahs in "You Gentle Me" give the song a fun feeling, but like ice cream, it's too sugary for me. Seriousness is restored in "My Loving Eyes" but the tempo change gets you out of breath, like consistant and that sells records; and certainly, she climbing a mountain. "Sweet Adonis" leads you to the beauty fo Carole King's joining of music and doesn't do crap. The same kind of warm graphics caressing the lyrics. "A Night This Side Of Dying" is, I think, the cover of Wrap Around Joy are found on the inside jacket (with lyrincs included). The jacket begins with best song Carole has ever written. It describes a "Nightingale," a song that touches off the bright junkie with such vividness that envisioning and mood of the disc. A strange thing about this song is listening become a three dimensional experience. that Carole does not do back-up vocals Louise and Carole assures us she will return with the flowing Sherry Coffin do. There's an exception to every rule, keyboard tune, "The Best Is Yet To Come," which as the saying goes, "Change In Mind, Change Of sounds somewhat like Mama Cass (damn analogy Heart" is so balladous that I think it breaks up the again): And the best is yet to come upbeat cohesivenss of the first side.

With rapidly diminishing strength, I threw Santana on the turntable, slapped on a pair of headphones and plopped down on the bed. My last waking emotion was one of uneasiness. The record had begun and I felt — — - — — an icy tingling running up and down my spine. & I looked across the sandy landscape. I seemed to be at the base of the Sphinx looking out at the Great Pyramids off in the distance underneath a midnight blue sky. It was incredibly calm and peaceful, as if these monuments had preceeded the birth of Man, as if I were deep in the ancient past. Gazing up at the starry field, all the stars were suddenly falling, making a gentle tinkling sound as they were swept over the horizon. c I felt myself streching out, latching onto a star, and being taken along with it. I was bouncing jubilantly from star to star in myriad colors. And what fantastic colors bouncing from a swirling orange giant to green to purple, when all of a sudden my head turned in recognition of a piercing wailing cry. It was unmistakably Carlos' guitar, and I melted into the note and was absorbed in the ensuing riffs, conscious only of pure blue-white energy all around, pulsating like lightening. — I was reeling and soaring through it all when the guitar stopped that I was inside an infinitely huge motor, like an old-fashioned clock motor. It was well lit and all i could see were immense brown-colored gears pounding steadily all around. They were pounding and grinding and humming heavily, incessantly. I was observing this curiously for some time when, in the far distance, I heard Carlos gently stroking his guitar again. and At this point, I found myself in a great cavern, the guitar notes echoing against the orange and brown walls. It was dimly lit and each note created flickering blue shadows enabling me to see skulls along the ground with the It was quiet. A feeling of eerie loneliness followed as the caverns faded and I was left floating in the depths of space. There was a subconscious sensation that there was a frenzy of activity going on at each distant star, but everything seemed absolutely still and motionless. I was staring out into the eternal night when a click in my head awakened me. Side one had ended. The turntable had shut off. BLUESBAND special guest U.F.O. _ & Talas Plus...

A long, crying wail and Carol took off again, spiralling up and around the Latin percussion section. Leon Patillo was singing: What's wrong with you? Can't you live by the way you preach?

Searching for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Riches that could be had easily and quickly. We seek "the gilded one," Eldorado. The quest for riches, success, and lust is an etenral one. Many have seen the striving rampage in search of Eldorado. This mystical story is often mentioned in literature, as in Milton's Paradise Lost and Voltaire's Candida. But its theme is more contemporary. Countkess musicians, like the Beatles in the white album, cryptographically vocalize man's preoccupation with tangible dreams, the Eldorado. hopes obsession to own them ultimately led to her destruction. Such is life, huh? No. ELO thinks it is about time we stopped 'wishing on a star' and became real people. This is what the album is about. This same feeling of anticlimax can be detected in every cut on the album. Best summarizing all that is to come is a monologue in the "Eldorado Overture:" The dreamer, the unwoken fool In dreams, no pain will kiss the brow The love of ages fills the head. The days that Unger there in prey of emptiness, of burned out dreams. The minutes calling through the years. The universal dreamer rises up above his earthy burden. Journey to the dead of night. High on a hill in Eldorado. Each cut however, emphasizes a different aspect of this multi-faceted theme. "Noddy's Child" discloses a search for self-fulfillment through "painted ladies," and Boy Blue" shows the emptiness of prestige and heroism. They even composed a song mocking the ego tripping of musicians in "Illusions In G Major." Actually, just about every idiosyncrasy of man is covered in one way or another, a philosopher's free-for-all. The concept of empty dreams, consistent throughout the album, is further supplemented by the composition of the music. Free flowing, transcending all that is secular, the group is closely knit with an effect that is dynamite. The tepid atmosphere reaches the depths of your soul with its haunting meoldies. Variations add emphasis to key ideas and enhance the overall quality of the mood formed. Each song is a dynamic combination, as the flow complements the meaning behind the lyrics. “Nobody's Child" has a foxy little '30's R&B rhythm. The drums and cello set up the atmosphere (do you believe it) while the brass is added intermittently for contrast. And "Illusions In G Major," a rock and roll number, has a torrid pace to match the lives of the men it portrays. Although the words and music were written by guitarist Jeff Lynne, the coherence of the entire album makes you suspect that everyone contributed to its formation. And in a way, they did. Each musician definitely puts his whole self into it. The result is a modern day symphony that would make Beethoven roll over in envy. The unique assemblage of all the instruments (drums, cellb, violin, piano, moog, guitar, bass, and percussion) blends into a barrage of melodies, harmonies, and contrasts which makes you oblivious to everything else. Very few others have met, let alone surpassed, an album of such quality. Anyway, if you're caught in the bottomless chasm, torn between classical and modern music, try ELO. It might not make you a firm believer, but it is worth your trouble to listen —SueWos of the music perfectly This is also the central concept in The Electric Light Orchestra's new album. More orchestral than electric, their symphony, Eldorado, is a smooth flowing masterpiece of orchestral ability, musical competence, and pure insight. The idea of a concept album is not new in musical circles. Lou Reed had Berlin, and The Who, Quadrophenia. But ELO have finally attained that level of consciousness achieved by a rare few. In On The Third Day the •group was brilliant but rather scatterbrained. However, to anyone who can get into it, Eldorado is a mark of excellence. Let me warn you, this is not an ordinary album. Either you love it or you hate it. There can be no middle of the road opinion. The album cover is in itself unique. An artist's delight, it gives the listener a preview of what that little bundle of joy holds an electric, purely dynamic experience. Anyway, that candid shot of the ruby slippers gives it class.

Abandoned Luncheonette, with a record that is easily among the top 10 discs unleashed on a weary rock public this year. Where Abandoned Luncheonette sprnag with an instantaneously contagious flair and flowing linear development, War Babies revels in a heady and engagingly well concieved eliptical opus. War Babies defies neat labeling or stamping, refusing to be channeled or constricted to some narrowly defined idiom. Hall and Oates ride the surging, cresting wave of creative force that will leave you drenched with delirium. Yet let me hold my accolades in abeyance and inject a semblance of objectivity on which you can fasten your incisors and hopefully digest. War Babies centers primarily on two poles of interest a rock musician's world and an incisive comment on our society that is both tempered and — sparked by an autobiographical sting. The image of television appears on a number of tracks, serving as a metaphor for the current times and their inherent sterility. The material is top notch and delivered witti pyramidal vocals that flare with originality. Daryl Hall's "I'm Watching You (A Mutant Romance)'' studies the implementation of surveillance monitors in the Times Square area of New York City. The song poignantly examines the relationship between a monitor operator and a whore who he happens to spy upon. The tune's haunting power is in its ability to point out the inhuman and emotionally crippling ends societal technology has chosen to pursue. "War Baby Son Of Zorro" opens with the eerie belch of an air raid siren and even sports a minisolo by an Admiral tv. The lyrics are an ode to the banalities of the Fifties and the not so-glorious marvels of the Atomic Age. And if this isn't enough, there's the chillingly beautiful lament, "70's Scenario." Here life seems to be lived perpetually in a fallout shelter in a futile attempt to ward off the deadening lunacy that masquerades as present-day reality: And at the end of the rainbow Prodigal Sun — ain't no pot of WINE - ALE Pitcher of beer $1.50 gold and the lite in the morning hardly ever shows ain't no easy living everybody knows that it's ah around us 70's Scenario. It's a piercingly pessimistic song that sadly embodies a truth that kills. But you're probably saying, "Gee Whiz, ain't there any love song?" Well, you can peg your hopes to "You're Much Too Soon." It is about a short-lived romance doomed to the priorities of gigs and a musician’s life-style. The tune is an expressive, melodic ballad nicely sung by Hall. "Is It a Star," a number brimming with spacey guitar, concerns the dichotomy between stage persona and off-stage individuality; Is ira star or is it me you say you believe in and off-nights when my stage smile's not so wild and ain 't soming easy . . . Can’t you see it's me. AH broken down inside. The catalogue of compelling songs doesn't end here but runs the entire range of the album. War Babies contains, refreshingly, no filler material or tired, standard reworkings of numbers such as "Willie And The Hand Jive." Hall's and Oates' vocal abilities are simply superlative. Oates provides a mellow mid-range while Hall bends and quivers high notes with astonishing spontaneity and phrasing. The interplay of their voices crackles with searing emotive force. Todd Rundgren produced this spectacular. He also plays most of the lead guitar bits with peyote-soaked fervor and feel. This rocking but unholy trio of former Philly fellas proves a highly workable and decidedly satisfying trinity. When so many groups pawn off third rate crap and get by off sheer reputation and hype, it's a euphoric feeling to discover relatively new faces like Hall and Oates forging a spellbinding musical excitement. War Babies is part of the emerging new wave of rock music. If you're smart you'll grab your day glo surfboard and paddle out to meet it. Do it. —C.P.

Finally, after changing they few became faces, a Steppenwolf, signed with Dunhill Records, and began making big are Only half-truths, though, and this was no exception (actually, Kay always wore dark glasses because he was almost blind from an irreversible birth defect which made his eyes oversensitive to light). But they still had their pop group image to contend with, and AM radio was certainly no help. rumors Money, money If you measure success in dollars and cents, the members of Steppenwolf must have laughed the way to the bank. One Sparrow album, 12 Steppenwolf singes, 12 albums, two John Kay albums, four singles, and two Dennis Edmonton solo albums certainly are enough to make anyone comfortable. Vet they did not seem mercenarily orientated. Instead, each album revolved about some theme, in which great emphasis was placed on political matters. This commitment was reflected in most of their albums gave the and whole group, especially Kay, a growing sense of reality and involvement. all history, I'm sure you'd come up with a few surprises.

Lastly, Rest In Peace allowed this monster band to hibernate until once again they can climb to fame with released their recently II jj . II 3 fervor and novel style? Often the group adds a sarcastic twist at the end of a song, giving an ironic effect. For example, 'The Ostrick," a commentary on Americans' nonchalant attitude about their ever-growing domestic has a riff from problems, Katherine Lee Bates' "America The Beautiful" at the end. And "Justice Don't Be Slow" has a little David Frye-type interlude about Nixon. But these little idiosyncrasies only add spice. The music itself is always well written, played, and produced, while the lyrics prove to be very moving and thought provoking. These factors make Steppenwolf one of the best singles bands in rock. Shape of things to come? All things change with time, but it is yet to be seen if the new Steppenwolf will be so changed. Composed of four veteran Kay, Jerry members (John Edmonton, George Biondo, and Goldie McJohn) the group has now added Bobby Cochran on lead guitar. Steppenwolf fans, all anxious to hear their new album, will certainly not be disappointed. Flux, though politically oriented, is a masterpiece in its own right. That the group has grown in its music is evident. Slow The key to this album is diversity. "Children Of The Night" and "Justice Don't Be Slow" show the group's rather blunt position on the Watergate crisis. A little lick about the escapades of Evel Knievel is found in "Get Into The Wind," and the group even includes their folk heritage on such cuts as "Morning Blues," "Smoky Factory Blues," and "Fishin' In the Dark." You can honestly say Steppenwolf has matured. A great influence in the growing up of our generation, perhaps they're now ready to become the driving force behind the next. Many thanks to Louie Biondi for compiling a discography for me.

A real trouper right to the end. Most of you think he died earlier last month; he did not. He died ten minutes before showtime on the eve of his last show ever in 1972. And yet, Ed made the show. Like I said, a real trouper, a really big trouper. Here are some excerpts from that historic last show: Announcer George Fenneman: “Tonight! Dead from New York City! The Ed Sullivan Show! Here was Ed Sullivan!” (Riotous applause. Applause subsides when Ed Sullivan does not speak. Ed does not say a word for ten minutes. Robert Goulet runs out from behind a curtain.) Robert Goulet: “Hello ladies and gentleman. I’m that fabulous entertainer from North of the border, Robert Goulet.” (Wild applause. Band starts up.) Robert Goulet: “It's impossible, ask a baby not to crv (Audience settles back. Ed looks more stone-like than usual tonight. He begins to titter. He falls. Goulet hits an amazingly high note before Ed hits floor, j Robert Goulet 7 1's inipossihlllllllllllllllllUlllllllle!" (Audience is wildly appreciative. Goulet bows several times and walks over to pick up Ed Sullivan off the floor. He does.) Robert Goulet: “Thank you. I’ll be appearing at the Riviera next weekend. Thank you.” (He exits. Man walks on stage and puts puppet on fingers of his right hand. Man stands behind Ed and puts puppet on Ed’s shoulder. Audience recognizes puppet, goes wild.) Toppo Giggio: “Eddie! Wake up, Eddie! I’m your little friend, Toppo Giggio, the Italian mouse. Oh please, Eddie, wake up." (Eddie does not react.) Toppo Giggio: “Aw come on Eddie, wake up! How a bout a beeg kiss?” (Toppo kisses Eddie. Eddie does not flinch.) Toppo Giggio: I dink Eddie’s gone to dal beeg shoe in de sky. Bye bye Eddie. Bye bye Yankee dollars.” (Audience laughs and applauds simultaneously. Toppo Giggio will never exploit American television again. Man with puppet exits and Buddy Greco makes entrance. Band starts up. He does dance to “Windmills of Your Mind.” Incredible. Audience loves him. Apparently, not enough.) Don’t blame the sponsor To the Editor. After the last minute speaking cancellations of two prominent figures in American Society, I think it only appropriate to clear up a few misconceptions. Student Association can only arrange a program. Phone calls can be made and contracts are always signed. Regardless of the obligations, a prominent person cannot be forced to appear at this university. It is impossible to tie his ankles together and drag him on the plane to Buffalo. When a program is Buddy Greco; “Aw come on. Let’s hear it for me!” [Audience registers a full 9 on Richter Scale.] Buddy Greco: “I’m Buddy Greco. I’ll be appearing at the Waldorf all next month. Before I go. I’d just like to say, I’m one of the finest young dancers around today. Why thank you, Ed.” [Audience goes nuts but Ed stands firm. Theatre grows quiet. Someone has blown cue. Man in audience stands up.) Man: “Er. hello. I’m Avrell Harriman. A good friend of the dearly departed, I think. I used to be governor, if anybody cares.” [Applause. Woman stands. No one seems to remember who she is.) Woman: “Hello. I’m Ann Blythe. Bet you never thought I could look this young.” (Sympathetic applause. Another gent stands up.] “Man: “My name is Bernard Greenberg. 1 own a bakery in Floral Park. This is the most ridiculous Ed Sullivan show I’ve ever seen.” [Mr. Insult, Don Rickies comes down the aisle He slaps Mr. Greenberg with his back hand.) Don Rickies: “Shut up, you Turkey. Where does it say ‘Wise guy Jew upstages famous comedian's lines’ [Audience screams “Go get him, Don! Rip out his throat!”] Don Rickies: “What kind of show is this anyway? The master of ceremonies dies on camera and the CBS brass says ‘Hey, maybe we’ll renew his contract another 13 weeks.’ They’re sick. A colored guy in the back is talking to his wife ‘How dey gonna renew his contract if he’s ded?’ Look at him, Ed Sullivan. The doctors who delivered him couldn’t or decide whether his mother had a miscarriage just bad luck. Is it true you’ve slept in a coffin, Ed? Ed’s only other work besides television has been the drawing up of his will. He left everything to his own personal charity: the Hemorrhoid Foundation. Ever wonder why you never saw him sitting down, folks? No, but really, I think dead people are really wonderful, Ed. God made us all the same, he made you dead, you should be proud of that heritage. Look, I’m a Jew, I kid you about being dead. Thank you.” [Warm applause. They cheer for Ed, the entertainer, Ed, the corpse. Stagehands wheel out gigantic cake, a 6-foot chocolate covered hiking boot. The real trouper falls in the cake, thus consummating 23 great years on the tube.] - arranged, it is expected that all concerned parties live up to their commitments.

This past weekend, I stayed at SUNY at Albany and had occasion to eat at their food service facilities a number of times. Please keep in mind that there is no appreciable difference between the amount they pay for food service and the amount that we do. However there is an astounding contrast between the quality and quantity of food served in their cafeterias and in ours. In Albany, as in many other SUNY and private universities and colleges, there is no limit to the amount of times that they can go back into line and receive more food. Food service at Buffalo, however, places a limit on every edible course of food they serve. At this point, I will not go into what 1 consider, and what many people 1 talk to consider, the inedible substances present at a SUNYAB sumptuous feast. There have been many times I have left the cafeteria hungry and I consistently supplement my diet with large amounts of outside food. In addition to the difference in quantity, there is a vast difference in quality between the food served in our cafeteria and that in other schools. During any lunch in Albany, regardless of the main course being served, one always has the option of having in unlimited quantities either hamburgers, frankfurters, or grilled cheese. These are offered either in substitution for or in addition to the main course. The food in that school as in many others is of better quality and tastes vastly superior to the food offered by UB food service. When you consider that we pay as much as most schools, if not more, and in return receive much less, 1 can only conclude that the people who run food service at UB are grossly incompetent and have totally mismanaged the program. The dorm students here are being exploited and “ripped off” by the food service bureaucracy. In many schools, private companies contract with the university or college to meet the food needs of their dorm residents. A major advantage of this system is that these companies compete for the school contract among themselves and in so doing raise the quality of the services they offer. While 1 am not sure of the solution, I am, as are most dorm residents on food service, aware of the problem. What we receive is not “food service” but “food disservice.” I welcome a reply from the “food service” establishment. Howard Chubinskv Friday, 1 November 1974 .

A motion filed by the Attica Brothers Offense Defense (ABOD) requesting $88,400 for expenses incurred in the defense of the Attica defendants was denied Friday by Judge Carmen F. Ball in State Supreme Court. The State legislature has already appropriated $750,000 to pay for defense expenses but almost $6 million to prepare the prosecution’s case. Judge Ball maintained that the ABOD does not represent individuals in court, but the group as a whole. He said that the work done by ABOD is voluntary and that the state is not required to pay them, despite the “vast amount” of work they have done. The Attica trials involve 62 defendants, more than 50 attorneys and about 4000 witnesses. The ABOD request included affidavits from individual lawyers who stated that they would have been unable to represent their clients without the work done by ABOD. Judge Ball explained, however, that lawyers assigned to individual cases will be paid out of money appropriated by the state, and that applications could be made by individual lawyers at any time. Parking tickets ‘civilized’ Ripped up, ripped off and easily rescinded parking tickets are on the brink of extinction in the City of Buffalo now that it has begun operation of a new Parking Violations Bureau (PVB).

Mr. Michaux explained that by transferring standing ticket offenses from a courtroom to an administrative atmosphere, the new system will encourage prompt compliance by respondents. “The transfer will also free at least 12 City Court judges to hear serious criminal matters and, combined with the State program, will save an estimated thousands of Police Department personnel man-hours,” he added. Tickets will still be issued by officers of individual agencies and institutions including the Buffalo college campuses. State University at Buffalo Campus Security Director Patrick Glennon noted that the Security Office would still answer inquiries regarding campus parking regulations and violtations, but would no longer handle appeals or be able to rescind the tickets. Basically the main benefits derived from the tickets. According to Charles L. Michaux, director of PVB, all standing, parking and stopping violations have been removed from the jurisdiction of the City’s Police Department and Court System and placed under civil administrative procedures, including the collection of all fines. “The PVB is empowered to accept pleas, hear and determine charges of traffic infractions relating to parking violations within the City of Buffalo, for monetary fines, penalties and fees for such violations and to enter and enforce judgements for the Bureau in the same manner as the enforcement of money judgments in civil actions,” Mr. Michaux said. provide Mr. Burke explained that ABOD has done work that an individual lawyer could never have done and has also assisted the prosecution with background information and research.

Anthony B. Wilson, 19, of 228 Dewey Ave. was being held in Buffalo precinct 16 and was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday morning. Mr. Wilson is not a student. Two Security officers were sent to Norton Hall to investigate a complaint that people were smoking marijuana in the Rathskellar, according to Lee Griffin, assistant directof of campus security. Mr. Griffin, who was present at the scuffle, reported that several persons in a corner of the Rathskellar were “putting marijuana away” and clearing smoke upon the arrival of Security. He said one person who was asked for identification provided it, while another insisted that One security the members to disturbance. Mr. Jackalone reported that Albert Somit, Executive Vice-President, said he would issue a statement to Campus Security asking them not to harass minority students. The statement will also inform Security of the types of disciplinary action that can be taken on the basis of their Civil Service contracts. According to Mr. Jackalone, the minority students said they would take the matter to City Court and back to the University Administration. Mr. Jackalone stressed that the only procedure that can now be taken is some of arbitration the between Civil Service employees organization and the University Administration. He suggested that the University set up a special advisory committee on grievances against Campus security to be composed of students, faculty, and staff. “For Israel to allow the Palestinians to establish their own state on the West Bank would be like giving a man who says he will shoot you a gun, on the grounds that his relative has assured you he will probably not pull the trigger,” said Yoel Kramer, chairman of the Classical Islam Department at Tel Aviv University, speaking in Norton Hall Tuesday in a lecture sponsored by the Israeli Students Organization. Dr. Kramer, whose topic was “Who Are the Palestinians?” claimed that the creation of a Palestinian State under the leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) on the West Bank would be a threat to the security ot Israel. “Such a state would only serve as a guerrilla base to conduct raids into Israel,” he declared. Dr. Karmer cited Yasir Arafat’s statement to the members of El Fatah, an underground guerilla organization represented in the PLO, that the acceptance of a Palestinian entity on the West Bank would be only a tactic to “liberate all of Palestine.” (Mr. Arafat is the leader of both the PLO and El Fatah.) Since the 1967 War the PLO has grown increasingly sophisticated in presenting its views to the rest of the world, Dr. Kramer maintained. “In public, they no longer talk about annihilating Israel, but about creating a democratic secular state in which Moslems, Christians, and Jews will be equal,” he said. The Israeli scholar warned that the Palestinians are merely engaging in rhetoric when they speak of the creation of such a state in Palestine. He also spoke of the PLO constitution, which specifies that all Jews who were not in Palestine before 1917 will be expelled “when the lands of Palestine are liberated.” Dr. Kramer said that among the groups represented in the internal council of the PLO, only the Popular Democratic Front, a Marxist guerrilla group, had accepted the principle of a “democratic secular state.” “Israeli recongition of the PLO is against the cause of peace,” the Israeli scholar continued. Dr. Kramer maintained that it would once have been possible for Israel to restore some of the land captured in the 1967 war to King Hussein, because “both sides had come to the realization that negotiation was preferable to continued conflict.” The PLO and the Arab states have now “boxed the situation into a stalemate,” however. Dr. Kramer said, and “as a result of the PLO’s refusal to discuss secure boundaries with Israel, 1 see little hope of peace in the Middle East,” he concluded. was discriminating against Black students. A scuffle broke out when the second person refused to produce identification, according to Mr. Griffin, who said that Security Officers were kicked, shoved, and hit by chairs. He also said one officer “went after an individual and stopped him on the front steps.” The officer tried to break away, Mr. Griffin explained, and when re-apprehended on the steps of the Union, he assaulted the security officer. Shortly after, additional Security arrived and broke up the fight. different According to a account by an eyewitness, two Security Officers entered the Rathskellar and walked through the crowd of students asking everyone for identification. The that one reported person presented identification and another accused Security of “passing white people” and not asking them for identification. eyewitness Sy Although the eyewitness smelled marijuana in the room, ST she claims she did not see it. Everybody was shouting, she said, and Security was “spurring on some kind of scuffle.” M-FM After some time, people tried to avoid a fight by leaving and others were pulling Security away, she added. The eyewitness then saw the person who accused Security of discrimination, leap over a table. This, she said, caused table to overturn and a a chair-throwing scuffle ensued in which “at least 20 people participated.” When asked if Campus Security was discriminating against minorities, Mr. Griffin replied that it was University policy not to tolerate open use of drugs on campus. He stressed that in light of the closing of Norton Hall three years ago, due to drug problems, it was important to investigate calls relating to the use of drugs in public buildings. The entire incident could have been avoided if Security hadn’t responded to the call, but in view of what has happened in the past, such things cannot be dealt with lightly, Mr. Griffin said. Mr. Griffin hopes nothing further will come of the isolated incident, but N(s, Gibson and the other witness indicated that there may be further trouble.

There is currently no official name for the organization although in view of the fact that all four schools have animal nicknames (Bulls, Bengels, Griffins and Eagles, respectively), we might suggest “The Zoo" or “The Animal Conference.” Following is a rundown of how the conference shapes up in the various sports: Buffalo, Baseball The Bulls cun look to dominate the conference in this sport, .is they did when these schools met in the old Western New York Baseball Conference in the early 'bO’s. Buffalo has been represented in two of the last tour regional qualifiers tor the national championship. The only possible threat is Niagara, which has compiled excellent records against local competition. Canisius and Buffalo State arc poor at best — 2277 Niagara Falls Blvd. Though they’ve had fine teams throughout coach Bill Dando’s reign, the Bulls haven’t totally dominated the local scene on the links. Close matches with Canisius and Buffalo State have been the rule rather than the exception, with only Niagara figuring to stay out of the picture. The Bulls should be favored to finish first, but with the championship decided in a league meet instead of head-to-head matches, anything can happen. mile No. of Youngmann -691 7800- Cross Country good selection of cheap, used can-all sizes. RL IVES HONDA '/• & PONTIAC ****************** Soccer In just three short years, the Bulls have built themselves into the local soccer power, aided by the fast decline of both Niagara and Buffalo State. Buffalo soundly defeated all three squads this year, and with players like freshman Emmanuel Kulu just coming into their own, the Bulls will probably continue to dominate for a while. Swimming With Buffalo State traditionally strong, and Niagara coming along to challenge, there is little hope for the Bulls. Buffalo has been particularly poor lately. Canisius is not exactly a pool power either, and will join the Bulls in the basement. A major baseball, the Bulls have dominated the in recent years, shutting out both Canisius and Buffalo State this fall. Niagara is on the same level as Buffalo State and Canisius, which should create a good race for second place. Like Both the Griffins and Niagara have been powerful in basketball for a long time and promise to dominate the conference in the near future. Buffalo and Buffalo State arc usually a good match, though State has won seven of the last eight. One major factor working against the Bulls in basketball is the University’s strict admissions policy. "The conference may help us later if we can get a mutual agreement on admissions and other things involved in a conference,” remarked Buffalo coach Leo Richardson. Golf Also a year.

The Bulls have been traditionally weak in cross country, but fortunately for Buffalo, Canisius is weaker. The Bulls finished a poor third in their meet with three other schools this surprise this fall has been the tennis scene Track Though the Bulls have been traditionally strong in track, they’ve been weak in recent years. However, the running and jumping of sophomore star Eldred Stephens has started a comeback. Buffalo State and Niagara are comparable with Buffalo, but Canisius is weak, in a league meet, however, Eldred’s one-man show could capture the championship, while the Eagles and Bengals, having similar strengths, could knock each other out. Women’s Sports Though competition has women’s been excluded from the initial plans for the conference, it won't be long before they are included in such sports as basketball, volleyball and swimming. The leaders of the four women’s programs met concurrently with the holding of the men’s press conference, but at press time, the results of that meeting were not known. Friday, 1 November 1974 .

Those interested should inquire immediately because the deadline for applying is Straight sets down Canisius by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer “It was not the most exciting match of the year,” said Coach Cindy Anderson, after Buffalo’s women’s volleyball team quietly disposed of Canisius at Clark Hall last Monday night. In fact, the Bulls’ straight set (15-2, 15-8, 15-8) win was so routine that when they scored their final point, the response from the 30 or so spectators was nothing piore than polite applause. Actually, the match was downright boring. The Griffins are only in their second year of play, and their inexperience prevailed throughout the match. On the other side of the net, it was apparent that the Bulls were playing below par. However, the Griffs couldn’t take advantage of Buffalo’s lackadaisical play, so the Bulls still had an easy time of it. Anderson substituted freely, inserting the second team into the lineup for the entire second game and part of the third. Star spiker Joanne Wroblewski, like the rest of the Buffalo squad, was very unconvincing, especially in light o( the Bulls’ undefeated record this season. The only standout performance was the serving of Nan Harvey. Harvey, 13 a freshman from Cheektowaga, served consecutive points over a two-game span. Looking ahead Though Anderson was very noncommital about the Canisius game, she had much to say about the Bulls’ chances for the remainder of the year. Next Monday, the Bulls put their string of five straight wins on the line as they face Geneseo Community College. Anderson expressed caution about Buffalo’s chances, noting, “although Geneseo is a community college, they play very well.” Anderson is confident her team will be one of schools to qualify for the Western New York 16 Tournament, and she is hoping that the Bulls will advance from there to the New York State Championships. GIF by Bruce Engel One of my predecessors, Barry Rubin, covered Buffalo basketball for four years. During that time, the Bulls moved to attain University (major college) status in the sport. Barry longed for the day when he could see Buffalo’s won and loss record listed under “major independents” in the New York Times. Well, by the time he was a senior in 1972-73, that wish came true. Now, two years later, Buffalo voluntarily moves out of the “major independent” category. The department still likes to think of itself as major, particularly in basketball. But yesterday morning, they gave up their independence. At 10:30 a.m. in the Statler Hilton, Buffalo, Buffalo State, Canisius and Niagara announced the inception of “the Big Four” of Western New York, a playing athletic conference that will start competing in eight sports next fall. Buffalo State’s Howard Mac Adam made the announcement and on behalf of the athletic directors. “Students are getting apathetic about college sports and the community is turning more toward the professionals. We are uniting and trying to make Western New Yoik a bona-fide athletic conference. We are thinking about students, enrollment and enthusiasm,” he said. He hoped the respective womens’ programs and other schools would eventually compete in the conference. It is more than a little disturbing that Buffalo’s Athletic Department would make such a move without consulring the proper student authorities. After all, student fees pay for the program. Although this is unfortunate, the action is basically an excellent one. Although Buffalo’s most successful team (wrestling) and its most popular sport (hockey) are not included in the conference, the action on the part of the Athletic Department represents a long over-due move in some positive direction. Prior to this, there was no cohesion in the program, and it wandered aimlessly about, not knowing which way to go. Hopefully, the conference will solve that Hi. I’m a noogie — just sitting here to fill up this problem. The importance of each team will eventually be dictated by the general importance of that sport in the conference. Another benefit is that travel costs can be kept at a minimum by competing with nearby schools. For students, this can help reduce costs, or at least keep them down, and at the same time, raise interest. In any sport, a contest is more exciting when there are league standings and titles at stake. The Student Association should jump on the bandwagon and force the Department to schedule two conference contests per season in each sport. Additionally, travel to places that require airfare or lodging should be scrutinized very carefully. Five of the eight conference activities fall into the category of minor sports (track, cross country, swimming, golf and tennis). These activities have been under heavy fire from critics of athletics in the Student Assembly. The Department was made painfully aware of this last spring, and it is highly possible that an effort to protect these sports by making them part of a larger structure was an ulterior motive here. But this was done in a manner that will be inexpensive and these sports are vital to a balanced program. The fact that Niagara and Can sius concentrate their athletic efforts on basketball leads one to believe that this sport will be very big in the conference. It seems that Buffalo will give greater attention to it. However, the Bulls cannot hope in the near future to attain anywhere near the level of Cnaisius and Niagara. This, combined with Leo Richardson’s ignorance in thinking he might ever be able to establish equal academic standards for athletes within the conference, provide an unfortunate dilemna. The conference cannot be much of a boost for Buffalo basketball. Not only does the program lack the necessary amount of scholarships, but the University has higher admissions standards for athletes than our conference mates have for regular students. This is a given we must accept and should be proud of, rather than trying to work around it. annoying left-over hole.

Vol. 25, No. 29 State University of New York at Buffalo » Wednesday, 30 October 1974 Student representation Changes are proposed by SA for FSA Directors by Mitchell Regenbogen Master Plan representation Campus Editor calls for greater student on FSA boards across the state. Student Association (SA) planning to propose an amendment to The is the by-laws of the Faculty Student Association (FSA) that would increase both faculty and student representation on the FSA Board of Directors. The State University at Buffalo has one of the only two administration-dominated FSA’s in the state. In a letter to President Robert Ketter, Rich Hochman, FSA vice-president and SA vice-president for Sub-Baord, requested that a meeting of FSA members be arranged to consider the proposed changes. Mr. Hochman expects the meeting to take place in mid-November. The Board of Directors is presently composed of five University administrators, three student representatives, and one faculty member. Mr. Hochman’s proposal would add two students to the board, along with two representatives from either the faculty or professional staff. No opposition The increased representation is justified, Mr. Hochman claims, because students are the largest group that “puts money into the corporation.” FSA services are used more by students than any other group, he said. Mr. Hochman believes the FSA membership will vote in favor of the increased representation, explaining that there has been no real opposition voiced by the administration. “I think we will muster up enough votes,” he maintained, adding that the State University of New York’s SA President Frank Jackalone feels there is insufficient student input into the detailed FSA operations. Additional representatives on the Board of Directors, emphasized, will dialogue relating to he stimulate needed the corporation’s activities, and more students on the board will have additional time to become “involved.” No compliance The Student Association of the State University (SASU) has released a study of FSA’s across the state. The report states that there is an FSA that exists on each State University campus for the “sole purpose of providing auxiliary services to the campus.” The FSA’s are governed by two documents: SUNY Guidelines for the Operation of Faculty Student Associations, and each FSA’s individual contract with SUNY central administration. The report explains that some of the problems between individual campuses and their FSA’s develop because the existence of the two documents does not guarantee complaince. There have been “tremendous delays” in communication between the FSA’s and Central Administration resulting in violations of the contract or ignored guidelines, the report charges. Student power The guidelines call for “student and faculty membership and participation in an FSA.” Except for the State University at Buffalo and Delhi Agricultural and Technical College, students are strongly represented in FSA’s throughout the state. The SASU study explored the power of student groups in the FSA’s. It determined that if students voted in blocs in 1 S of the 20 FSA’s surveyed, they would only have to persuade up to two members of the other groups on the board to claim a majority. At Canton Agricultural and Technical College there are two boards - one student board and one faculty-staff board, with all matters requiring the approval of both. The report claims that Cortland and Plattsburgh State Colleges are “both weak in terms of student power,” yet student on their FSA’s is significant. There is “always an informal governance mechanism that mitigates against student control of FSA,” undermining any formal governance mechanism, the report charges. representation Food service The SASU claims that faculty representatives provide swing votes on FSA boards, but they are more likely, “on the practical political level,” to vote with administration board members than with the student members. Additionally, —continued on page 10— SA tables minority budgets while others okayed The Student Assembly approved the budgets of several clubs Thursday and tabled a number of minority group budgets, which will be voted on at a later date. Among the budgets approved during the four-and-a-half-hour session were those of the Student Book Exchange, Schussmeister’s Ski Club, UB Vets and the Student Legal Aid Clinic. However, much of Thursday’s activity centered around efforts of members of several Student Association (SA) financed minority groups to postpone a vote on their budgets in the hope of increasing allocations for the ’74—’75 fiscal year. As it now stands, no budget may be increased by the Assembly unless funds from another organization are reduced. Tabled budgets While a host of organizational budgets carried the Assembly with relative ease Wednesday, complications arose early during Thursday’s meeting when SA Minority Affairs Coordinator Doris Diaz asked that the budgets for the Third World Vets, Equal Opportunity Program (HOP), and Association of Minority Students in Health Related Professions be tabled. This motion easily passed the Assembly. In addition, it was decided that the budgets of the A/.teca Students, the Black Student Union (BSU), the Native American Cultural Awareness Organization (NACAO), Puder, and Minority Student Coordinators be discussed together. Budgets for the Jewish Student Union (JSU) and Community Action Corps (CAC) (in conjunction with Sunshine House) were also tabled. The general feeling in the Assembly, which consisted largely of representatives from minority and special interest groups, was that the Athletic Department budget of $220,000 should be at least partially slashed and redistributed to these various proposal to an immediate vote, though, the Assembly fell short of the necessary two-thirds majority. organizations. Some Assembly members indicated they would work to decrease the Athletic Department’s finances by as much as $15,000 a sizeable cut. When a motion was made to put this - Stipends attacked The Assembly then attempted to cut summer stipends of SA Coordinators by one-third, a move led by members of a few disenchanted student groups. But the Assembly overwhelmingly defeated this resolution as well. The tired Assembly participants finally adjourned at 8:30 p.m. after three previous attempts had failed with the stipulation that they reconvene today at 4 p.m. to continue deliberations on remaining budgetary lines — - �A.M.fest Breakfast provides commuter forum “It’s great! A lot of cummuters have to come to campus early. This gives them a place to go where they don’t feel alienated,” says Joanne Azzarello, a commuter from Clarence, N.Y., summing up the feelings of more than 100 people who participated in the first Commuter Breakfast Friday from 8 to 10:30 a.m. Shawn Phillips, the prolific singer-songwriter, will perform in concert this evening at 8 p.m. in Kleinhans Music Hall. Despite excellent reviews and regional popularity, Phillips has remained somewhat of an underground hero, but the cult is growing rapidly. Opening the show will be "Quartermass." Tickets for tonight's concert are $6, $5 and $4 and are available at the Norton Hall Ticket Office. Sponsored by the Student Association (SA) Commuter ComminFe with funds donated by Sylvia Goldschmidt, SA Student Activities coordinator, the breakfast was the first step in a plan to fill the needs of commuter students, a long neglected majority on campus. Free hot chocolate, coffee, tea, plus cheap doughnuts and brownies were available to all in Room 231 Norton. The Commuter Committee handed out name tags to facilitate socializing and distributed questionnaires to gather feedback on what problems should be tackled in the future. Commentar Athletics as the unfair loser by Bruce Engel and contracts drawn up based upon that commitment, may be called back and decreased. At this point, the University administration steps into the picture. Last week, Executive Vice President Albert Somit received the memo from SA president Frank Jackalone stating that unauthorized line changes in intramurals and recreation had been made by the Athletic Department and that unless the situation was rectified, SA would freeze the larger part of the athletic budget. Dr. Somit quickly checked with the other side, Athletic Director Harry Fritz, who had been out of town through the whole affair. Sports Editor Last Thursday’s Student Assembly meeting was a lesson in patience, parliamentary procedure and political intrigue. Although everyone knew what was actually happening, the subject was rarely mentioned and did not even find its way into the minutes of the meeting. The gathering lasted for over four hours, through several attempts to adjourn and a lot of motioning, seconding and tabling. The Assembly barely achieved the required quorum, and most of those who did bother to come were from special interest organizations. They succeeded in getting their budgets (CAC, JSU and minority groups) tabled m the hopes of securing extra monies for themselves after all the other budgets were passed. At this point you may ask, Where are they expecting to get that extra money when all of the SAs funds have already been accounted for and committed by i s Executive Committee? But need you really ask? Isn t it obvious that people are going to want to take this money away from everyone’s favorite whipping boy-the Athletic Department. Commitments vs. priority “Budgets have been approved and commitments have been made,” Dr. Somit said. “They must be honored. But there may be guidelines that have to be followed as well,” he added. If would appear that the commitments he spoke of are the contracts for intercollegiate athletics, while the guidelines refer to SA>s priority item intramurals and reC reation.

In the meantime, top SA officials claim that the administration has the legal right to control student activity funds in certain ways that stop short of actually refusing to collect the fees, although it actually has that right as well. Under these circumstances, the administration might possibly be held accountable for contracts that SA breaks. If that is the case, it is unlikely that the administration will remain quiet on this issue. Even if it doesn’t, it has too much invested in athletics facilities and coaches salaries to sit idly back and let something drastic happen. _ ~ „ ‘ , ' ‘ “ ' | Squeaky assembly It is obvious here that we have a case of the squeakiest hinge getting the oil. It is a bit absurd to think that a mere one-fourth of the Student Assembly is very representative of the student body as a whole, just as it is unlikely that an interest group Assembly, even in its entirety, accurately represents the student body. Nonetheless, the interest groups went after athletics tooth and nail, with a vengeance that might have amused the casual observer, but actually scared the slightly better informed. One can only wonder which, if any, of these organizations in question have greater student participation than any of the varsity sports they longed to attack. One is of course hard pressed to deny that there has not been a certain amount of mismangement in the Athletic Department. There are places where spending can be cut back, but certainly not in the amount (about $15,000) that critics of athletics want to cut. They have seen one team have meals The losers after home games, an unjustified if not unauthorized There is but one final element to this little expenditure, and feel the budget can be milked for a melodrama.

And we do have problems.” A lack of funds hampers the Committee’s desire for frequent breakfasts, but members are working to make the campus more pleasant for commuters. “We want these breakfasts as often as possible,” said Committee Chairman Lou Scinta. “There has been a long-time need for a place to socialize at a time convenient to commuters. This is one answer. People have made friends and for many this has been the first real chance to socialize all year,” he observed. Other projects the Committee will tackle include a local ride board, a dance marathon to raise money, a handbook to orient commuters to the campus, and a partner-finding service for people who want to bowl or play table tennis or pool. Afternoon mixer Ms. Venezia also hopes to organize a Friday afternoon mixer. “This would be an event at a time more easily attended by people who live far away and can’t make a trip home and back again. It would also give people who work nights a chance to attend something on campus,” she said. She also noted that though commuter activities are the Committee’s main concern, “we are not trying to make ourselves exclusive. It is just that right now we need to bring commuter-oriented events on campus up to parity.” Michelle Smith, SA National Affairs coordinator, said, “This is just the first of a series of events. But events aren’t the only thing. The administration should create an office of commuter affairs within the Student Affairs office. Priorities must be changed to fit the needs of the people.” Bruce Lange, a Committee member, said, “We are definitely open to suggestions on what to do. If anyone has specific projects on which they would like to work, they are welcome to join, as is anyone who just wants to join.

This remark typified the cooperative exchange between the Committee and College B, a marked contrast to the open hearings of several other Colleges, where philosophical differences and gaps of understanding have caused tempers to strain and occasionally break. But this was not the case with College B or its sister College H, who both seem outwardly favorable toward the chartering procedures and are eager to meet their requirements. ‘Crisis orientation' “1 think the time has come when the Colleges can’t survive on a crisis orientation any more,” said Bonnie Spanner, director of College B’s residential program. College B submitted a comprehensive, 43-page charter proposal which closely follows the guidelines set down by the Chartering Committee this summer. Its plan for the College “is the best prepared, and is closest to what we asked for,” emphasized graduate student representative John Greenwood. “You’re the least defensive group we have met; you view chartering as a positive aspect rather than as a threat,” he said. College B, one of the six original collegiate units, is devoted to the arts and the role they play in our lives. The residential program is centered around common interests in the arts, crafts and humanities, and is enriched through an extensive program of arts events and a small selective credit curriculum. The College offers an extensive crafts program, tutoring, a lively schedule of cultural activities, and a friendly, informal group experience. Said one student: “You can walk down the hall and listen to flute music at two in the morning. It’s a beautiful experience.” Participation by commuting students is also encouraged. “As a non-resident, 1 find myself much more involved,” Mr. Brickman said. “The College community extends itself even to those who don’t live there.” Stay clear He also explained one of the ways students are discouraged from joining a College or taking a College course. “There’s a by Mike McGuire Spectrum Staff Writer Relating health-sciences careers to the needs of the community is the prime concern of College H (Health Sciences College), Academic Coordinator John Duringer told the Colleges Chartering Committee Thursday at the public hearing on College H.

Kenneth Sherman, who teaches ‘Delivery of Health Care’ in H, said his course, despite requiring a certain background, got along well without prerequisites, because those without background soon dropped the course. The class is composed mostly of uper-division students who are trying to “de-professionalize” and to sensitize themselves to community needs, Rev. Sherman explained.

Undergraduate Dean Charles Ebert asked what College B does differently or better than the existing academic departments. “What is the extra thing that makes you unique?” he inquired. Our purpose is not to do better, but to do differently, one spokesman replied. It is “to find ways to stimulate understanding of arts, maybe a more phil osophical understanding, maybe a different aesthetic,” he said.

No prerequisites College H was also criticized by several committee members for not requiring prerequisites for most of its courses. Prerequisites are rarely required, according to Mr. Duringer, because they imply a narrow perspective rather than the broad one the college is striving for. Often, a course may have no specific prerequisites, but the course outline would imply a need for some prior knowledge of the subject, he noted.

Liaisons are also maintained with other colleges, especially in the case of College B. Mr. Duringer said cooperation between B and H is symbolic of reconciling the split between the body, the mind, and the creative process that often occurs in academia. Committee member and professor of orthodontics Larry Green asked if H’s programs overlapped other colleges’. Mr. Duringer replied that while occasional common areas are cross-listed with the Women’s Studies, Urban Studies (C.P.

Wednesday, 30 October 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . �Instructor fired due to declining enrollment and money problems A Colorado college teacher who was fired in a situation that is becoming more commonplace in schools and colleges across the nation declining enrollments and tight finances has gone to federal court to challenge the college’s decision on who gets fired Lyle V. Brenna, with the support of the National Education Association (NEA) and the Colorado Education Association, is seeking reinstatement to Southern Colorado State College, Pueblo, plus lost salary and benefits and $200,000 in damages and attorney’s fees and costs. The case is pending before the U.S. District Court, Denver. — - Dropping enrollments The NEA said the case is of special interest because thousands of teachers in the nation are in schools and colleges where enrollments are dropping and where boards are complaining of financial difficulties. Elementary school enrollments have been decreasing for about four years. Although total national enrollment in high schools is not expected to begin the downturn until fall 1976, and in the colleges and universities not until fall 1981, the rate of growth has slowed appreciably and many institutions already are experiencing declines. Public higher education enrollment, which rose a whopping 162 percent from 1963 to 1973, was projected to increase less than seven percent more by 1978. NEA has had reports of schools responding to finance problems by trimming the teaching staff, resulting in larger classes, less individualized instruction, and the dropping of important school programs and services. In some cases, districts have let experienced teachers go so they could hire less experienced persons at lower salaries. The question of firing experienced teachers is at the heart of the Brenna case.

Less qualified and non-tenured faculty were retained by SCSC, Brenna contends. Of six members of the business education department, one was without tenure and three had less seniority than he. Dr. Brenna’s position was not abolished after his termination in October 1973 and courses he taught are still being offered. The college, Brenna says, presented no documentation to support its firing him. However, the trustees of the State Colleges in Colorado sustained the termination, concluding it was in accordance with the college’s personnel regulations and policies. - - THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COMMITTEE presents A Trip to Toronto Saturday, November 2, 1974 visiting the Royal Ontario Museum and The Ontario Science Center Fare: S2.50 — for further information call Foreign Student Office — 831-3828 ' | December 1 Fare $51 .50 includes transportation and accommodation for 4 nights ji| For information 831 -21 45 or come to 31 8 Norton 1 Sponsored by The International Student Committee and The Ski Club Sponsored by Students' Fees and income sexism, discrimination.

Four out of five railroad crossings are protected only by passive devices such as the crossbuck (X) sign, according to a study conducted by U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), which also revealed that 30,000 grade crossings warrant immediate improvement. However, only 1300 of these receive automatic protective devices each year. The most effective devices installed to date, aside from overpasses and underpasses, are the short arm gates with flashing red lights that open and close automatically. These devices cost New York State still, however, $20,000 per unit and are being less than half the grade crossings installed at a rate of 30 a year.

There are more than 100 bridges in the area on which trains cross over passing traffic.

When problems do occur at crossings, the state and local government are called to investigate the matter. Albany generally determines which crossings will get top priority. Representatives are sent quickly to survey any crossings in question. They use a formula based on the number of trains and the number of automobiles that pass each crossing to determine whether the crossing can qualify for monetary assistance for improvement. Because of limited funds, however, only areas deemed the most in need actually receive money for improvement.

Some of these signs are not even reflectorized, making it nearly impossible to see them at night. Two out of three crossing accidents occur at these intersections. In March 1972, at a grade crossing in Congers, a town about 25 miles northwest of New York City, five high school students were killed and 44 injured when their bus was hit by a freight train. Because the crossing was “private,” there was only a stationary warning sign there. On roads that are not federal, state or town highways, flashing lights and short arm gates are not legally required. Instead of extending the safety requirements, though, the law was simply modified to prohibit school buses from crossing unguarded railroad for federal funds, but in 1970, only $120 million was mandated for grade crossing improvements. - $76.50 �HE SINGING HOOSERS Public utilities Takeover alarms companies Of Indiana University Riviera Theatre 67 Webster St. • by Douglas A.

It is available for credit to students of Millard Fillmore College, Canisius and Medaille Colleges, but is open to anyone in the community who wishes to participate. On Sunday, October 6, the Courier-Express began a series of 18 consecutive literary articles entitled, “In Search of the American Dream.” Those interested in the course will have a number of options, including reading the articles for knowledge and pleasure, sending away for additional material related to the course, or enrolling for college credit. Required readings Students enrolled for credit must read additional material. The only requirements are successful completion of one examination to be given at all three colleges in February and the attendance of the lecture-discussion in December. Those who do not want college credit may send away for any material related to the course which is available to the credit enrollee. Those taking the course for credit must mail in a coupon published in the Courier-Express to any of the three colleges. Tuition is $43 for those not attending day school full time. Phyllis Herdendorf, a coordinator of the program, emphasized that persons of any are age encouraged to enroll. “It’s a whole new opportunity for people to engage in for credit,” said Ms. Herdendorf. Co-ordinating and instructing those who enroll for credit will be Leslie A. Fiedler, chairperson of the University’s English Department, and his wife, Sally Fiedler, who presently teaches a course in American Mythology in College B. “The Dept, of Continuing Education, Millard Fillmore College, is looking forward to participating with Leslie and Sally Fiedler in initiating Courses by Newspaper on campus because of their expressed interest in this very unique experience,” commented Ms. Herdendorf.

Page seven . �Editorial Budgetary dilemna Today's Student Assembly meeting may be the first test of a thorny constitutional problem: Does the Assembly's constitutional authority to "approve or disapprove" the budgets and alter specific parts of the budgets apply when the Executive Committee has already commited funds to in this case the Athletic groups that have signed contracts — Department? The problem had its roots last May, when the Executive Committee passed the budgets after disruptions by special interest groups prevented the Assembly from coming to a The Athletic Department subsequently began signing contracts, although it was known at the time that the budget was still subject to review by the Assembly. Some have argued that the Athletic Department must make financial committments early enough to allow it to set schedules and order equipment. But those who would like to see a large cut in Athletics insist that the SA Constitution grants the Assembly final power over the budget. They do not want to see the Assembly's review power circumvented by what they consider the simple expedient of signing vote. the summer. If the Assembly decides to make major cuts from the athletic budget, it could open the way to costly and politically damaging lawsuits in a year when the mandatory student fee comes up for its quadrennial referendum. But approving the athletic budget-would leave all the important questions about proper procedure and budgetary priorities unanswered. Although no fair solution seems possible this year, the need to reform the budgetary procedure by next year is unmistakable. It makes little sense for students to vote to pay a $67.50 mandatory fee each year if contracts and bureaucratic restrictions will prevent them from having a say in what is done with that money. One possible way of avoiding another budget fiasco might be to move back the budget hearings a month or two so time will not run out on the Assembly as it did this year. Every March, newly-elected SA officers are immediately thrust into the tenuous and controversial process of dividing up an $800,000.00 pie. By holding elections in December, SA would have more than a few weeks to carefully discuss the budgets in the Assembly. This would certainly not be a cure-all to the yearly dilemna of interest groups fighting tooth and nail over budgets, but it would at least give SA more time to try to make the $800,000.00 it allocates more representative of contracts over students.

The Spectrum . Wednesday, 30 October 1974 Kindly note that it is the Wednesday after a holiday and the space usually occupied by me is in fact occupied by me. Why this is so important is possibly even more confusing to me than it is to you. But then who knows how the problems of self-definition work. Spent several hours with someone over the weekend who was going quietly mad over not knowing who they were. More than not knowing who they were, I guess, since it also involved a large piece of not knowing where they were going. I have some trouble being helpful in situations like this since a concentrated effort was made somewhere in the past in order to get me out of that bind. TL (Another way of looking at it is that my head has had a different wiring diagram since I was born, but I prefer the explanation that ■ gives me at least some credit.) The realization that had a freeing effect on me j, y Steese involved recognizing that my accuracy in predicting where I am going to be, or what I am going to feel about being there when I arrive, is very, very bad. Of course 1 still do it. What sensible person would go charging into a situation without being obsessed about it for a reasonable length of time? It doesn’t matter whether you are right or wrong; what counts is the fact that you used up part of the time between you and whatever by worrying and trying to anticipate. Clearly, the only psyche that I am able to make any kind of predictions about at all is mine. 1 have no fundamental idea how yours works. Suspicions yes, but sense enough to know that they are only suspicions. What 1 have learned about the processes in my head leads me to believe that more frequently than some other people, learning something about why or what I am doing helps me to change it. This seems to be based on emotional reality that if I don’t change it after learning about it, I wind up being mad at myself. Since it is clear to me that I bitch at myself even more articulately than I do the rest of the world, it does not contribute greatly to inner peace to be mad at myself. It leads to digestional difficulties, bumps and bruises, and interpersonal disturbances when 1 lay my surly internal state on other folks. Anyway, when I figure out something it sticks in my head. Sometimes. Why it is that periodically my chess playing ability degenerates to the point of Gerald Ford’s political acumen is very murky to me. Things that make me anxious make me forget things, especially things about which I should know better. One critical area of self-knowledge, to go back to whence we bagan, involves the awareness that trying to anticipate where my head will be about a crisis is impossible. 1 was even able to shrug off the Dodgers losing the World Series. There is even some faint hope that this means a decreasing dependency on baseball. There were even weekends in September when I did not know the previous day’s scores in the National League-West. Very clearly the accuracy of this hope will have to wait until next spring when baseball begins again. It is impossible to predict now. 1 have a job interview/evaluation late this week that has me very twitchy. I leap sidewise at small noises and can frequently be found hunched over yellow pads furiously chewing on a pen. Apart from this anxiety, I do not know how I will handle it if I do not get the job, foul up the presentation, get the job, whatever. This can make life interesting, of course. There is a certain interesting, albeit anxiety-provoking quality to not being able to know where you are going to be about many things when you finally confront them. I have to deal with most things as they come along. Prior planning keeps me off the streets at night, but does not provide much else nuturient. to people who are being knowing where they are going is frequently not of tremendous help. It initially amounts to “So what’s so bad about that?” or equally helpful words. When I get through ducking the flak that such a response deservedly brings me and get my head together enough to realize that the person is in fact feeling bad about themselves, there are other options to making them feel better. Many of which are troublesome to me because, clearly, any control freak in his right mind would never turn down the ability to make accurate predictions about the world, including his own behavior in it. Having defended myself against anxiety sufficiently so that it does excuse me while I scratch my not bother me why should 1 want to deal myself back hives into that game? The only answer to the above question that I have run into is that I like people. Depending on where my wandering head is this seems to be either a perfectly sufficient or woefully inadequate answer. Take your pick. I’ll take mine. I’d compare, but what the hell difference does it make. We do what we do, yes? And perhaps if you are doing no damage to other people what we do should make no difference and we should allow ourselves, and other people, to muck through without undue commotion. Even if things look a little strange on occasion. Take care of yourself, avoid evil spirits. My response anxious about not - — Libertarian viewpoint To the Editor.

If you stand too close to him when he flexes a cheek muscle, the punch can floor you.” This physiognomical toughness comes not only from a constant cheeky grin and gritting of the teeth, but from the practiced enunciation of different things from either side of his mouth. In 1968, asked if he supported the Nixon-Agnew ticket, he said he was running for Senator from New York, not for President or Vice President. But in 1972, getting a whiff of the future landslide, he hitched his wagon to Nixon’s mudbail this despite the fact that he prided himself on being a critic of Nixon’s war. Now he is running again, and making the muscles jump on both sides of his face. For the left, he goes down and pals around with Fidel Castro; for the right, he professes horror that his opponent, Ramsey Clark, went to Hanoi and criticized American bombing. For the left, Javits misquotes Ralph Nader in his own praise; for the right, he attacks Clark as a Nader-type naif, an unrealistic ideologue. On Vietnam, Javits used to proclaim that he was neither hawk nor dove, but an owl. He should have said a lizard of the chameleon sort. Javits calls Clark naive, and then says the fact that he is keeping a $15,000 contribution from Nelson Rockefeller could not possibly influence his decision on Rockefeller’s confirmation. Javits has been a satellite of the Rockefeller politics and Rockefeller influence all through his recent career. But he is brighter than Rocky, who exudes an ill-defined mush. Javits speaks very well-defined and contradictory things to his different constituencies. To some he says, “Vote for me because I am a Republican.” To others: “Vote for me despite the fact that 1 am a Republican.” To others: “A vote for me will save you from the Republicans.” To others: “I will ward off the threat from the real Republicans.” To still others: “You and I are the only real Republicans left.” There is something to be said for each of those arguments, taken singly. But not for the whole range of them espoused simultaneously. He is a ventriloquist with a thousand dummies who are all himself yet he is no dummy. It’s a good trick, and no one doubts his skill.

The Legal Aid Clinic appreciates the publication of the article that appeared in the Friday, October 4 issue of The Spectrum. However, I would like to make one correction. The article stated that the clinic “is funded by mandatory student fees, which enable it to maintain a bail fund available to any student who is faced with a prison sentence.” The Legal Aid Clinic does maintain a bail fund. The clinic is funded by mandatory student fees. However, the bail fund is not funded by mandatory student fees. The bail money is not only available to any student it is available to any facing a prison sentence student in custody for whom bail has been set.

I am a resident of Lehman Hall who is very much concerned with a growing problem here at Governor’s residence halls. Being a Plutonian (yes, from the planet Pluto), I have noticed growing animosity against me and others from my planet. Since we do not think like your fellow humans and since we still have trouble adjusting to your culture and atmosphere, we are thought to be rather odd. We admit to being from the outermost planet (at least you humans think it is), so we are mocked and scoffed at. Our objective here at U.B. is to learn, not to be shamed. We who are members of the Inter-Galactic Space Travelers do not, in any way, appreciate the hardships we have been put through. Our Plutonuan — children also suffer. The University will not provide them with a Plutonian day or Mercury Oxide Center. As a result, many of us have found it necessary to nurse sick, pale, purple Plutonian children back to health. Also, our best Plutonian students, who wish to become space medics, find it virtually impossible to cope with such elementary subjects such as Earth chemistry, when it is taught so irrationally (by our standards). I am not the only Pluto person who thinks this way. I and many others have ooo’d to the fact that we are being exploited by the system.

It appears to be a forerunner of things THI MOON IS RISIN to come which will benefit the entire University community. It has made people aware of what is going on and has stimulated interest in the Commuters Council.

And with a coarse, sardonic howl, he rasps his master s name. -Jay Boyar Scratching at the bolted door arouses interest - - A choice of either colorful murals or plain bare walls Last spring, three College E students covered the corridors and office walls of MacDonald Hall’s basement with a colorful mural painting of flowers, trees and airplanes. The project was part of a COE course entitled, “Process and Environment in Art,” taught by Richard Whitefield. Today, most of that mural has been painted over, and the rest is expected to disappear in the near future, reportedly at the direction of the College of Progressive Education, which has its offices in the basement. Mr. Whitefield, who did his best to halt the repainting, said, “I thought it was art and it should have been saved. You don’t just go around covering up paintings. When the painters came, I asked them to make sure they had the right place. 1 was sure it had to be a mistake.” Artistic expression f He feels that students should be encouraged to “leave a part of themselves behind” by doing similar artistic projects. But the University seems to want to keep everything as “uniform and sterile” as possible, he commented. Artwork commissioned and paid for by the administration, such as the super-graphics in WBLK-FM and BLUE NOTE RECORDS Present Live In Concert Sunday Nov 3 8:30 PM V •rrest Norton Union, have a “cold, commercial feeling,” he said, and does not have the same artistic value as a spontaneous expression of feeling like the work in MacDonald’s basement. Money should be put aside, Mr. Whitefield believes, to give students the opportunity to express themselves in painting. He is certain that if funds can be found to paint over the MacDonald Hall mural, they can also be found for his suggested program. He feels the resulting artwork would improve the University, giving it a more stimulating atmosphere as well as providing an outlet for students’ creative energies. The painters working in Macdonald basement have been convinced by Mr. Whitefield to save certain sections of the mural, but he feels badly that any of it had to be lost, and that other similar examples of creative expression, such as the mural in the Buffalo Meter Building on Main Street and the one in the tunnel between Norton Hall and Harriman Library, have also been covered. “I only hope that in the future, sometime, serious questioning can be made of the painting over of this kind of art at the University of Buffalo,” he said.

My guy is very interested, Each And so I tried to be. by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer 1 learned the lingo very well, I learned formations, too. 1 learned the “bomb” and “power sweep’ And what the halfbacks do. One of America’s favorite stereotypes is the big, dumb collegiate athlete who never studies and never goes to classes. While this is hardly true, Buffalo basketball coach Leo Richardson has instituted a study hall for his players, in an effort to eliminate this stereotype altogether. The study hall, which meets two nights a week for two hours, is designed to keep all of the players academically eligible. Attendance is I learned Just how 1 learned And call mandatory. “The kids are going to study anyway, so we bring them together to do it,” said Richardson. “We’re trying to achieve some unity before the season starts. There’s more human relations involved in this than just playing basketball.” to tell the quarterback to play the game. to spot the man the ref a name. off-side, I learned to watch for replays, I learned how coaches think. I learned a “red dog” is no pet. And that tight ends don’t drink Eligibility and counseling Richardson believes the study hall is helping to accomplish the goal of keeping all the players eligible as well as establishing good study habits. Richardson also offers advice to his players. “We have them try to find a major. Most freshmen don’t have one. We try to counsel them,” he said. Other players had the problem of carrying only 12 credit hours. By determining their interests, a fourth course was found for them. Now, all but one of the team’s members are taking the full four-course load. Surprisingly, most of the players think the study hall idea is a good one. Junior guard Gary Domzalski, whose 3.0 grade point average proves he doesn’t really need the added discipline, commented, “I think it’s a good idea to bring the guys together for two hours between 1 blast the guard who missed his mark, The pass that’s overthrown. I call each man by his nickname In most familiar tone. practices.” I’m so gung ho, so full of verve, It’s very hard to guess That underneath this wise facade, I simply couldn’t care less! - Two of the program’s newcomers have found the study hall at least tolerable. Ron Washington said, “For two days a week, it isn’t too bad at all.” Larry Jones admitted that he probably would not study as much without the study hall, and that the two-hour sessions will help him academically. Dissension Other players aren’t so high on the idea, though. One player, who did not wish to be identified said, “I don’t think you should be told when to study.” Another, diligently reading a recent issue of Sports Illustrated, said, with as much sarcasm as he could muster that he “liked” the idea. Richardson, to be realistic, admitted that many-of the players live off campus and find attendance inconvenient. The coach originally got the study hall idea when he was head coach at Morris State. Last year, in his first year as head coach of the Bulls, there was no study hall. However, the need became apparent when Buffalo lost one player to academic ineligibility, and two of its seniors failed to graduate. I learned to know the penalty For each infraction called. And when our T.D. is called back. I’ve learned to be appalled. 1 watch the standings in the leagues, 1 know what it’s about. Although they always play full games, They’re half games in or out. Soccer Bulls limp home after knock down game against Geneseo by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor In a contest more reminiscent of a Philadelphia Flyers hockey game than a college soccer match, the Bulls were literally knocked down to defest Saturday, dropping a 3-0 decision to a mediocre Geneseo squad. “They’re a very physical team, there’s no doubt about that,” remarked Buffalo coach Sal Esposito. “They tried to make up for their lack of skills with physical play. When you have to worry about being taken out of the play or not, you can’t control the ball the way you know how,” he said. I’m hurt, you’re hurt The Bulls spent about as much time on the ground as they did on their feet in the foul-plagued contest, leading Esposito to comment, “Don’t ask who was hurl. It would be easier to ask who wasn’t.” One Bull who was definitely hurt was Pete Cosola, who was knocked down and trampled early in the first half before being carried off to the hospital. “I didn’t spend the whole game in the hospital from falling on my own,” observed the angry right wing. Both Esposito and co-captain Jerry Galkiewicz appealed to the referees to curb the rough play. “When I asked the referees to stop the game and bring both captains together,” related Galkiewicz, “he said, ‘No, everything’s alright.’ He just didn’t care NEWMAN CENTER - November at —Center Buffalo volleyball star Joanne Wroblewski winds up a serve in a squad practice session last week. Joanne, who has the ability to dominate a game, has led the squad to a quick 4-0 start. Particularly adept as a spiker and blocker at the net, Joanne's inspired play against Binghamton and Buffalo State earned her The Spectrum's Athlete of the Week honors. Newman Center, at 7:30 p.m Pre-Cana 12 and “When I talked to the referees at halftime, I told them I wasn’t worried so much about the score as I was about someone else getting hurt,” said Esposito. “Later on in the game, though, they tried to call every little thing, and then it hurt our game. Every time we had the ball, instead of just letting play continue, they’d call the foul, disrupting our momentum.” Jim Young, who was held without a goal for only the second time in 16 games, complained, “My guy was obstructing me, pushing me, doing everything but tying a rope around me.” Conspicuous by his absence was fullback Hans Zimmermann, who missed his second game in a row. Esposito, however, didn’t feel the senior’s absence had any effect on the outcome. “I doubt that Hans would have made any difference,” he said. “It was pretty obvious to me that we weren’t going to have a goal no matter what.” Centers clash The Bulls have a week off in preparation for the SUNY Center Tournament. The top seed in the tournament, Binghamton, is first in New York State and ninth in the latest national ranking. Defending champion Albany and host Stony Brook round out the field. The winner may capture a post-season tournament bid. “This week, practice all three days is going to be mandatory for everyone,” Esposito stated. “I think there’s just certain things we have to work out as far as togetherness.” Conference 14 University Ave for Couples in Love With Dr. Donald Nichols -Mr & Mrs'.

Last year there were 100,000 law school applicants for 37,000 law school,” Mr. Fink said.

He estimated that less than two percent of the candidates would suffer because of a Type I error. This means, simply, that two percent of those tested by ETS will have their qualifications underestimated. He called this a “fact of life,” but noted that “most of us are enormously predictable.” Increasing reliance on standardized tests in the future has been a commonly expressed fear among college students.

A motion to allow day care personnel to use SA office facilities, such as telephones and mimeograph machines was also endorsed after conbudget, although now in effect, siderable discussion. Some was never passed by last year’s Assenbly members had felt Assembly because of disruptions this would interfere with by unhappy student groups during SA’s operations and incur adthe budget hearings. ditional expenses. An attempt to allocate $1000 Changes to the Day Care Center was Since the budget had to be delayed until this year’s budget is submitted to the administration completely discussed, to by May 15, the Executive determine what funds are Committee passed it just before available, SA treasurer Sal Napoli the semester ended. If the Assembly makes any budgetary explained. Much of the meeting was spent changes, they will be subject to discussing and approving items on approval by the administration, the 74-75 SA budget which Assembly chairman Scott amounts to $907,684. The Salimando said. However, he said that most changes would probably be approved without any difficulty. The Assembly passed the budgets of 48 clubs and organizations. The Debate Club was the only organization that The SpECTI^UIVI Vol. 25, No. State 28 University of New York at Buffalo Friday, 25 October 1974 had difficulty getting its budget approved. Some Assembly members questioned the allocation of $2705 to a club with only 25 members. After it was explained that the Debate Club has shown the potential to become a more viable organization, its budget was passed in its entirety. Freeze approved The SA also approved a resolution passed by the Executive Committee Monday to freeze the Athletic budget if the Athletic Department does not abide by budgetary guidelines. SA President Frank Jackalone urged students to support Hugh Carey, the Democratic contender for governor of New York. Incumbent Malcolm Wilson “is just not ready to make a commitment to improve higher education and student voice in higher education,” Mr. Jackalone said. He explained that Governor Wilson would not take a stance on raising tuition or placing a student on the Board of Trustees. Mr." Carey, however, is pledged to holding the line on or eliminating tuition, and supports opening trustee meetings to students and retaining mandatory fees. Math College building an interdisciplinary base as examples of the College’s services to the by Mike McGuire Spectrum Staff Writer of their proposed charter in a public hearing before the Colleges Chartering Committee Tuesday night, insisting that the College is Spokesmen from the University community. College Mathematical Sciences defended inter-disciplinary, flexible, academic undertaking. Richard Orr, current executive officer of the College, told the committee and a an dozen observers that the purpose of the College is to combat the fragmentation of mathematics and related studies among specialized academic departments. The College has assembled a faculty from such disciplines as philosophy and medicine, as well as from math, statistical science, and computer science, he said. Having this wide range of concerns, the College also hopes to break down what it feels are false distinctions between “pure” and “applied” mathematics. He noted that the Reichert Prospectus mandates academic legitimacy in the Colleges, and said, “The quality of its instruction and activities are as high as any College in the Collegiate Assembly or any Department in the University,” Unlike some other colleges, he said, Mathematical Sciences has never experienced problems attracting both junior and senior faculty members. Mr. Orr also felt the College has no problems attracting and motivating students either, and predicted it would have enough resident students to fill at least half an Ellicott quadrangle within five years. Asked graduate student Attraction Mr. Greenwood point, noting went that on while to another the charter endorses the University’s Affirmative Action program, 80 percent of the College’s students are male. He asked if the College actually has an Affirmative Action program Daphne Hare, a faculty member and professor of Medicine, replied that female faculty tend to attract and motivate female students. Two out of the nine faculty members of College of Mathematical Sciences are female, and this percentage of about 20 percent is above the University’s average, she said. Irving Spitzberg, Colleges Dean, said there was a tendency on the part of some committee members to doubt that mathematical sciences could really be considered interdisciplinary. But John Corcoran, professor of philosophy, maintained there are connections between mathematics and philosophy, which are not usually thought of as related. “The truths of mathematics have stood for 2000 years,” Or. Corcoran said. Crossfire Jonathan Reichert, committee member and author of the Prospectus, commented that this was not very surprising, however, since ‘‘mathematics defines its own Representation Criticism by committee members centered on whether the program is, in truths.” fact, interdisciplinary, or if its offerings are instead only repetitive of those in other departments. One committee member felt the College’s tutoring activities serving both students and community members could be assumed by the Mathematics Department, at least for students taking courses. Another committee member attacked the College because he felt there was too little student representation in its internal department governance. College faculty, however, countered that the College’s policy-making body, the Executive Council, is made up of four students, four faculty members', and the Executive Officer. The College also came under fire for its proposal to pay the head resident of its area in Ellicott a salary of $8000 a year. But College faculty said that the head resident would have to coordinate the academic programs of the residential college as well as oversee dorm life, and deserved the proposed salary. High quality Mr. Orr cited talks by Marvin Zelen of Statistical Science and tutoring to students by representative John Greenwood if there was really flexibility in the College’s governance, since a “grandfather clause” in its charter allows chartering faculty to choose new faculty without student involvement, several faculty said that any prospective member of the College’s faculty would be able to persuade the Faculty Board to offer him membership. This appeared to some observers to skirt the issue, however. —Forrest But Dr. Corcoran blasted Dr. Reichert’s remark, calling it a “pedestrian attitude” toward math by those with “near-zero” knowledge, an attitude he said the College is trying to wipe out. Richard Siggelkow, vice-president for Student Affairs, called on Mathematical Sciences and the other residential colleges to prepare some objective measure for evaluating residential programs. The question of whether a residential College is really an improvement over the general College program may become important by the time the Colleges’ charters come up for renewal in five years, he said. It would benefit the residential Colleges if there were statistics to point to rather than the subjective judgments of faculty and students, Dr. Siggelkow added. Dr. Spitzberg said the groundwork for such a project is now being laid by several cooperating Colleges and departments. The Reichert Prospectus mandates that all Colleges must be chartered by Jan, 1, 1975. The next public hearing, to examine College F (Tolstoy College), will be held at 4 p.m. Tuesday in 339 Norton. The Women’s Studies College hearing is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, also in 339 Norton. �News analysis ticbudge t control still issue A thle by Bruce Engel Sports Editor Controversy, confusion and paradox has characterized a hectic week of hassling over the Student Association’s (SA) traditional bone of contention the athletic budget. Last Monday the SA Executive Committee unanimously passed a resolution calling for a freezing of Athletic Department fund if certain budget lines are not adhered to. The Executive Committee was reacting to an approved Athletic Department revision of the budget passed last spring. Significant cuts, totaling about $13,000, appeared in the revision for the funding of intramurals and recreation. Two days later, the original budget was to come up for approval in front of the Student Assembly, the final student authority on all legislation. SA Treasurer Sal Napoli had to inform the Assembly that it could not alter lines relating to men’s and women’s intercollegiates, general administration and publicity, and many of the club sports, due to the fact that some of these funds have already been spent and that most of the remainder involved contracts that must be honored. (All athletic events are contract items. An institution that signs a schedule contract may be sued if it refuses to compete.) - Total picture The net result is that SA is preventing the Athletic Department from cutting what it is inclined to cut intramurals and recreation. At the same time the Department finds it impossible to cut that which the Assembly might have been inclined to cut intercollegiate — - ‘Information Act athletics. It appears that the budget is at a point where little ifanything can change. There was also great confusion over whether there really were cuts in the budget lines affecting intramurals and recreation. The record shows that lines funding Intramurals, Main Street Recreation, Amherst Recreation (for the Bubble facility) and summer recreation, which were to receive a total of $57,000, according to SA figures, had been dropped to $44,000 by the Athletic Department. However, it seems that the simple loss of funds does not necessarily mean a curtailment of services in all cases. The department insists that most, if not all, of the dropped funds represent expenditures like equipment and graduate assistants, which cither the administration or the U.B. foundation have agreed to fund. To this, SA Student Affairs Coordinator Howard Schapiro responded, “In that case, the expenditure should stay the same and something should be added to the income line.” Mr. Jackalone has said he discovered a week ago that the Department was pot deviating from the proper figures in the first place. SA officials told the Department it had to make cuts to account for last year’s deficit and these cuts must not come from intramurals and recreation. So, the Department decided to make a six percent cut across the board on the intercollegiate athletics. However, according to Mr. Jackalone, it took the six percent from an early version of the budget that had already been cut. Therefore, intramurals and recreation had to take cuts as well, because the deficit had still not been cleared. Mr. Jackalone added that the cuts represented more than administration- funded items and included some intramural referees and other personnel, without whom less activities will be offered. The line for summer recreation, however, is the only one that appears to be grossly inadequate. It was decreased from $6,800 to $3,300. Who’s in control Finally, the controversy continued over who would control the athletic budget. Dr. Fritz and his fellow professionals have long insisted that all but the total figure should be left up to the discretion of their department since they are the professionals and they know best how to distribute the Policy statements budget.

Esposito Will speak on City Editor An aide to a Congressional committee has called • JEWS FROM ARAB LANDS: President Gerald Ford’s recent veto of the Freedom of Information Act “the most ridiculous veto” he has ever seen. James Kronfelt, Counsel to the IMMIGRANTS TO ISRAEL FROM MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRIES Foreign Operations and Government Operations Subcommittee of the House Government Operations Committee, believes the veto was “absolutely inconsistent” with Mr. Ford’s announced policy of openness and candor in government. Wednesday, Oct. 30, at 3:00 pm The legislation was approved overwhelmingly by the House and the Senate. It is designed to strengthen the 1966 Freedom of Information Act by reducing the time limit for agency responses to requests for information. The bill also establishes administrative penalities for arbitrary refusal to provide the requested information; allows recovery of legal expenses in lawsuits to obtain the material; and closes various loopholes in the existing law. Room 337 Norton Union Sponsored by: Middle East Studies Committee of Council on International Studies Sociology Department Security classifications The veto was supported by all government except the Department of Health, Education and Welfare on the grounds that the bill would be too burdensome to them. Most agencies also opposed the 1966 Act. The National Security Council, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Justice in particular oppose the new legislation because it would permit the courts to question security classifications and would broaden access by the public to investigatory files, Mr. Kronfelt explained. Presidential Counsel Philip Buchen also urged that the legislation be vetoed. The White House told The Spectrum that it has requested more flexible criteria, especially with respect to investigative agencies. The President has called the 10 days given to provide the information “simply unrealistic.” agencies, Override veto There are plans to try to override the veto when Congress returns to session on Nov. 18. Mr. Kronfelt * feels that chances for an override are “pretty good.” Pat Keefer, lobbyist for Common Cause, said the bill will be reconsidered first by the House. Mr. Ford had supported a privacy bill with provisions identical to some in this statute, she said. But the bill, sponsored by Rep. William Moorhead (D., Penn.), has CIA opposition because the “CIA distrusts the judiciary,” she added. Ms. Keefer agreed that there is a good chance that the Oct. 17 veto will be overridden. The present bill would overturn a 1973 Supreme Court ruling in a secrecy-stamping case. Sen. Edward Kennedy (D., Mass.) characterized the Ford veto as “a distressing new example of the Watergate mentality that still pervades the White House.” ‘Come Back, Little Sheba 9 Broadway and film actress Jan Sterling will open a four-week run in William Inge’s contemporary masterpiece, Come Back.

The proposal was made last week during a series of meetings between Day Care officials, University Provosts, and acting Academic Affairs vice-president Merton Ertell. Members of the Center had “been led to believe that the Provosts had the authority to channel faculty salary lines” into the Center, according to Jan Crabtee, a member of the Day Care Center Steering Committee and negotiating team. At a meeting Monday between the Provosts and Day Care officials, it was disclosed that Dr. Ertell, not the Provosts, had this authority. The .provosts w? re enthusiastic about helping the Center, but couldn’t do anything about, Ms. Crabtree explained. Dr. Ertell’s office had refused to send a representative to the meeting because it would be “unproductive.” Dr. Ertell had suggested an alternative meeting She said between the University vice-presidents and Day Care officials. explained. After the demonstration, a Day Care delegation met with Dr. Ertell in his office. “We tried to pin him down as to exactly what was happening,” Ms. Crabtree said. She maintained Dr. Ertell was interested in keeping the center open, but the circumstances under which this would occur were left open. “He said nothing specific,” other than a meeting would be set up between Day Care and the vice-presidents for Tuesday. That meeting was the scene of the Administration’s proposal to advance funds from the January, February, and March allocations, which, according to Day Care Center director Kathline Cassiol, would be used to pay the Center’s teaching staff. Commitment Although the Center rejected the proposal because it would leave no funds for January, she said the Administration hopes to alleviate the problem before the funds ran out. Ms. Cassiol claimed there are other areas in the University from which funds for the Day Care Center could be taken. Ms. Cassiol asked Dr. Ertell for the statement Wednesday, demonstrating the Administration’s written Pin down Day Care representatives declined and went ahead with the Provosts meeting, Ms. Crabtree said. Unhappy with the limited results of that meeting, she reiterated that the money is going to have to come from the Administration. They can’t put it onto anyone else’s shoulders, Ms. Crabtree emphasized.

Access could also be obtained with permission from the letter’s author. Alternatives Another section of the amendment permits the student to waive his right to access. Such an action might be necessary, Mr. Kwapisz pointed out, if a faculty member refused to write a letter of evaluation unless it was kept confidential. After waiving his right, a student could gain access to the information only through a court order. Ron Stein, associate director of the Office of Student Affairs, clarified the two major objections to the original law which led to the proposed amendment. First, the amendment would avoid the question of retroactivity, which could result in an “ultimate test of the law’s constitutionality,” Dr. Stein explained. This problem could arise when the University tries to abide by both its earlier contract of confidentiality and the legal requirement to release such materials. A second problem is the fear that letters of recommendation written under the new law might not provide a candid profile of the student. If this fear is sustained, Dr. Stein said, “graduate schools would be forced to rely more on impersonal evaluation of students, such as standardized tests.” If a student seeks a court order to obtain the release of a letter, he might find himself in a Catch-22 bind. Mr. Stein indicated that the burden of proof is on the student, who would have to prove damages before being allowed to see the damaging materials. October 1974 . The Spectrum . Page three �Displaced Dorm advocates Food coupon problem focus of IRC probe by Terry Koler Spectrum Staff Writer The Inter-Residence Council (IRC) is currently looking for a solution to the food coupon dilema facing many board contract students, and is investigating the inadequate funding of intercampus busing. The coupons were issued at the beginning of the year as a weekend supplerngnt to the Monday through Friday contract services. The packet of information sent to the students regarding the purchase of coupons did not specify that they would expire at the end of the semester. The possibility of extending the coupons into next semester may cause legal difficulties. “We have a contract with the state, and if you break the rule once, the contract is null and void,” said Don Bozek, acting director of Food Service. Tax exemption According to the State Tax regulations, there are certain stipulations which allow Food Service to make the coupons tax exempt, Mr. Bozek explained. Shustack, Executive vice-president of IRC. Governor Wilson has reportedly intimated to Dr. Ketter that there will be no problem with the funds for the Amherst Campus, he-noted. Dr. Ketter was unavailable for comment. IRC plans to circulate a questionnaire to help determine a special bus schedule for the duration of finals week. “We’ve done it in the past and it has been very successful,” Mr. Weber said. “A new bus route is being designed and new roads have been made accessable. Altogether it sounds very good,” the IRC President indicated. Complaint ■boxes will be put up at the bus stop to get ideas for new improvements, Mr. Weber added. Other plans IRC a number has of other plans up its sleeve for the coming year. “We plan to run buses to different activities like we did to the Stevie Wonder Concert,” said Jim Smith, vice-president in charge of activities. Plans to run buses to University hockey games and the Beach Boys Concert are already in the making. In addition to the twelve to fifteen movies IRC shows per semester, it “There must be a termination date printed on the coupon books.

IRC has been in touch with President Robert Ketter and a supplemental request for funds has been sent to Albany. “We feel pretty sure that we’ll get the money to continue SUPERMAN (1955) the present service,” said Perry Professor forbidden to hold office hours in Rathskelkir by Kim Weiss Spectrum Staff Writer Biology professor C.E. Smith has been his office hours in Norton Hall s Rathskellar regularly for the last three years. Suddenly, this September, however, George Nancolus, Natural Science Provost, “abruptly forbade me to further hold hours in the Rat, because he felt it was undignified of a professor to help his students in the cafeteria,” Dr. Smith has revealed. In addition, the provost warned him not to discuss the matter at all with anyone especially the press, Dr. Smith said. He quoted Dr. Nancolus as saying, “Whenever there is trouble with the students, don’t let the press know about it.” It all started in 1970, Dr. Smith explained, when Carl Cans, former chairman of the Biology Department, moved all the department s professors from one office to another without any apparent reason. “I was told in November that I would have to be out of my office by the end of that school year,” Dr. Smith said. Consequently, in June 1970, he moved all his files and papers six truckloads to his home. But the confusion. Cans forgot to assign me to all “in another room,” Dr. Smith said. conducting was that it provided Dr. Smith with the necessary information he needed to protect future generations of biology students. “Former students would frequently visit me in the Rat and inform me of what material I had omitted in class that appeared on the Medical College Admission Test,” he said. “1 would then include this material in the curriculum for the following semester.” He noted that such students are less inclined to seek him out in an office. Last year, Dr. Nancolus offered Dr. Smith an fice in the Health Science building, but Dr. Smith - - - Rat hours He then began holding office hours “at the table near the dirty-dish conveyer belt” in the Rathskellar. He felt that his new location proved a great success in many ways. “I noticed a positive psychological change immediately,” he said. The Rathskellar was a pleasant departure from the stereotyped austere atmosphere of a traditional office room, Dr. Smith declared. “I became a guest in the students domain, instead of appearing, to many, to be an inaccessible and often awesome figure.” About 800 students are enrolled each year in Dr. Smith’s biology section and often 30 to 40 students would visit him at one time. “The Rat, unlike my office, could accommodate everyone,” he said. “We held sessions in an informal round table set up. It was almost like a seminar because of its spontaneous nature,” he added. “One student’s question often benefited everyone else.” Necessary information Another advantage of the Rathskellar location C.E. Smith turned down the offer, preferring to remain in the Rathskeliar. Dr. Smith claimed he is the only professor that has been singled out, among teachers in other departments, who may not continue to help students in the Rathskeliar. He moved into Room 110 Health Science last week and has already noted a critical drop in the number of students seeking aid. Those who do come to see him now must often wait in the hall for as long as one half an hour until they may speak with him. Buffalo Premiere!

In order for college to receive a charter this year, it must show that its work is not being offered by any other branch of the University. & “We are the only undergraduate unit systematically making a study of theories of education,” said J. Ronald Gentile, College master. Stressing the differences between FES and the Progressive Education Center, Mr. Gentile said, “FES is almost entirely composed of graduate programs. The undergraudates who take FES programs do so primarily because they are en route to a teaching certificate.” Alternatives Consequently, FES is almost entirely geared toward preparing people to meet state requirements for licensing and not for the study of alternatives in modern education, Mr. Gentile observed. Program Coordinator Elliot Topper and Mickey Cohen, a member of the faculty of Progressive Education College, further stressed its dissimilarity to FES, stating that the College focuses on more practical aspects of education, such as teaching in inner-city schools, than does FES. “We will be developing ties with the outside community by setting up different types of open classrooms on the East Side and by having some of our students do volunteer work in certain inner city schools, such as Central Community School,” Mr. Topper said. One committee member produced statistics to show that blacks and students from disadvantaged backgrounds were not enrolling in the classes of the College. “Given the nature of many of your courses which focus on inner-city education, don’t you feel there is a need for an Affirmative Action program. What efforts are you making to recruit blacks?” he asked. Mr. Gentile said he had not been aware of these statistics, but said, “We will have a formal connection with black and disadvantaged students on campus and are in the process of developing specific channels of interaction with these groups. I’m sure we will be able to attract a greater percentage of blacks in the future. If not, we should be held accountable.” Ms. Cohen also pointed out that blacks and other minorities had become indirectly involved with the Progressive Education College through programs instituted by the College. “For example, many blacks participated in the Free alternative high school which I set up through the College,” she stated. College representatives also defended their residential program, stressing that it allowed for the “growth of informal friendships around the discipline” and facilitated a continuing intellectual atmosphere. However, only a few students who requested the College’s housing had been placed there. Asked if the Progressive Education College would have a particular focus or ideological twist, Mr. Gentile feels it is his responsibility as master to hire teachers with as many different points of view as possible. According to the charter of the Progressive Education College, the master is “responsible for the College currculum” and for the quality of the programs and staff.

A spokesperson for the assistant-superintendant of Curriculum Evaluation and Development in Buffalo has indicated that the replacement of the old literature by the new materials will be a slow and gradual process. Edward Smith, an editor for the American Book Company (which made its revisions two years ago), has found that educational institutions are requesting these new materials as replacements for very old books, but explained that most schools cannot afford any drastic turnovers.

Through the practice of transcendental meditation (TM), over 400,000 men and women in the US have benefited from a unique state of “restful alertness.” TM has proven an effective means of alleviating the common stress and strain which confronts us daily. Scientists have described the state of deep rest induced by TM as a fourth state of consciousness, as natural as the other three states; wakefulness, dreaming and deep sleep. Recent investigations into the effects of “restful alertness” made at universities and research institutes have shown that during the period of meditation, oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide elimination, heart and respiratory rates decrease significantly. This evidence, together with blood chemistry and brain wave patterns, demonstrates that transcendental meditation allows the body a deeper state of rest than that attained in deep sleep, when mind remains highly alert. Scientific technique The technical aspects of TM have become an increasing source of interest in the field of medicine. The technique itself is scientific and perfectly adaptable to objective studies. John Zamarra, a senior medical resident at Meyer Memorial Hospital and associate clinical instructor at the State University at Buffalo Medical 'School, is conducting a study on the effects of transcendental meditation on angina pectoris, a stress-related coronary artery disease. The study was made possible through a grant from the Western New York Heart Association. Angina pectoris, a major cause of heart attacks today, is a syndrome of “exertional chest pain” caused by a blockage of the arteries of the heart. According to Dr. Zamarra, angina pectoris, which is caused by hyper-tension, is a “by-product of modern society,” and directly related to the individual’s level of stress. Angina pectoris patients are limited in their exercise capacity because of the narrowing of their arteries. (Only a certain amount of exercise can be done before chest pain develops.) “TM seems to have a deconditioning effect on the transcendental meditation tone down the entire system, reducing the pain at its source. “My outlook on life amazes me,” says Ludwig Wegemann, a patient participating in the five years ago. “But then I would Continuing Education and the probably claim that I didn’t have School of Management of the State University at Buffalo will the time,” Mr. Perry said.

In trying to show the Chartering Committee that they do fact offer legitimate academic programs, some Colleges in have been told they are duplicating the functions of the regular departments. But when a College like Rachel Carson presented a broad offering of programs that no academic department in this University has offered, some Committee members questioned its academic legitimacy. While the Committee's concern with duplication at a time of scarce resources is understandable, it should realize that the Reichert Prospectus has forced many Colleges to walk an incredibly fine line between innovation and traditional educational programs, a difficult thing to demand of anyone. A College like Vico, for example, was criticized last week for being a closet academic department because it was faculty-controlled and many of its courses were cross-listed. But Rachel Carson College also came under fire for offering what seemed like unacademic independent study and single-credit skill courses. The Chartering Committee has thus been leveling criticism from both conservative and progressive viewpoints, and may be inadvertently placing all the Colleges in a virtual no-man's land. Instead of trying to confine the Colleges to this ill-defined category, the Committee should place more weight on the distinctiveness of each College's goals and how hard each College has been striving to achieve these goals. The Progressive Education College, for example, was criticized by some committee members for being unable to attract a great percentage of blacks, since much of the College's focus is on working with minority students in inner city schools. That a College is even attempting to develop Guest Opinion by Ron Hendren College Press Service President Ford went out of WASHINGTON his way to invite young people to participate in his recent series of summit meetings on the economy, but from his initial recommendations to Congress, you’d never know it. There wasn’t a single provision in his economic game plan designed to benefit young workers out in search of their first job. In fact, the President made it clear that his new programs were intended only to assist those persons already in the work force, and that the requirements for eligibility exclude persons who have not worked before. To get a job in his proposed new Community Improvement Corps, for example, one would have to have exhausted all his unemployment insurance something which the first-time job benefits seeker obviously couldn’t do since he would not qualify for those benefits in the first place. This means that of all middle and lower those who will bear the income wage earners brunt of Mr. Ford’s inflation fighting program persons about to enter the work force for the first time will be hit hardest. - - such a program makes it worthy of a charter, especially since no academic department would be likely to pursue such a program with the same zeal.In the same way, certain aspects of the Mathematical Sciences College may be somewhat repetitious of the of the Mathematics department, but the College has shown itself to be committed to an interdisciplinary course of study totally unique to the - — When National Student Lobby executive director Arthur T. Rodbell made this point to budget director Roy L. Ash in a closed White House meeting last Wednesday, the best Ash and his aides could come up with was, “There are already a lot of programs to aid students.” He might have added, as Rodbell did, that most of them are funded at about 50 percent of their authorization. But even so, that isn’t the point. It isn’t students who are going to find themselves against a stone wall under the President’s program it is those who have just crossed the barrier into the work world and are trying for the first time to earn their own way. In today’s job market, crossing that barrier successfully is already difficult enough. With unemployment approaching six percent. University. Members of the Committee have said that the academic departments could offer some of these programs, but we must question whether many departments could ever be relied on to commit themselves to experimental courses of study. As the Committee proceeds with its evaluation, it should carefully consider the narrow parameters the Reichert Prospectus has set and think twice before it criticizes a College for duplication.

Someone should remind the President that it is the unmarried wage earner, above all others, who has been bearing a lion’s share of the income tax burden all along. Someone should also remind him that with current sky-rocketing food prices, a $7500 income is by no means “upper-level.” Mr. Ford may toast his own English muffins, but it is painfully obvious that he has not been going to the store lately to buy them. The long and short of it is that President Ford has been listening to the wrong advisors, economic and otherwise. Ever since he assumed office, even though the disastrous Nixon pardon, this columnist has refrained from criticizing him, on the theory that every new chief should have the chance to pull on his pants a few times without some armchair critic complaining about the way program is he buckles his belt. But his economic program, at least that part of it that he has so far revealed, is in several major ways buckled all wrong. A lot of other people know it, and it is time the President did.

Result: Few jobs for new workers, and not even the opportunity to participate in what the President called “short-term useful work projects to improve, beautify and enhance the environment of our cities, towns, and countryside,” through his planned Community Improvement Corps. To add insult to injury, the President further proposed to saddle unmarried wage earners with an additional five percent surcharge tax, beginning at the $7500-a-year level, a sum which Mr. Ford termed the beginning of the “upper-level individual income bracket.” The magic mark of affluence for families, according to the Ford the Editor-in-Chief, Last Sunday night, we decided to take a break, and go out for a drink at our local bar, Strinka’s (Niagara Falls Blvd.). The three of us walked in at about 8:00 p.m., and sat down at the bar. The bartender greeted us and engaged us in a friendly conversation until we placed our orders. After we placed our orders he asked us for a Sherriffs card, and refused to serve us unless we produced one each. Two of us, being from New York City, never having use for one, felt that a U.B. ID card and a New York State driver’s license would be sufficient. The other person, from Erie County, always found other proof sufficient. Considering that we didn’t want to drink Shirley Temple’s all night, we questioned the bartender, who rudely told us that we didn’t look 18 (we are all 21). We feel we were discriminated against because we were students and we would like to see this type of discrimination stopped in the U.B. area.

I start this review with an humiliation. I have not read Naked Lunch. I did not see evenings one and two of the production at the Courtyard Theater. However, evening three was enough to convince me that an act of abject extraordinary theatrical event took place here in Buffalo on the 17th and the 18th, as well as the 19th of this month. I do not feel self-conscious in this apology. After a preliminary encounter with the work of William S. Burroughs, shame becomes an act performed by “others" in the "other reality." Shame and guilt become nonentities; anachronisms from a non-relevant consciousness. Truly, Burroughs takes one into a reality that offers no handles, railings, or grasp onto for comfort or You are swept into an amoral maelstrom the whirling intensity of which is directly proportional to the energy exerted by the players (deliverers would be a word more in touch with their function). In this performance, the energy of The Chicago Project/New York reached hurricane proportions. landmarks to interpretation. Frantic but eloquent I will not attempt traditional manner vyith to deal in a the material Burroughs presents. There will be no analysis of plot, discussion of character delineation, or comments on dialogue. Rather, I will try to convey a sense of the frantic debauchery that marks the show. If one seeks a work of art to enlarge his understanding of this production, he may look to the words of de Sade or the caricatures of George Grosz. Only here will he find parallels to Burroughs' ability to relate the eloquently overstated fact or fantasy. In Burroughs' work, the worlds of fact and fantasy merge into a place/time continuum where the only guides to relevance and understanding are buried within the author and the viewer. There is no translation of material, as such, to be explicit meaning to be made, no discovered. It is a construction of diverse vectors with no commonality, other than that they have been juxtaposed by the author. Internal film Each moment in the project portrays an instant in the continuum, a frame in a film composed of scenes from on the mental floor (the conscious and subconscious) of the editor (Burroughs) and spliced together in the order in which they were found. Page ten TKi Spectrum Friday, 25 October 1974 . . touching sensitivity alongside vulgar banality. This is not to say that Burroughs is inconsistently poetic and prosaic. He has merely taken the diversity of life, real and imagined, gentle and violent, rewarding and disgusting, and thrown it back at us. The fantasies of fulfilling or degrading actions acted out by the players are renderings in graphic detail, of that which is, to quote from the show, the "human virus." For example, during the section on Islam Incorporated, a heterosexual couple about to make love is interrupted by "the State" (Annexia). The anger of the male is expressed by a feverish pacing and which culmiate his of his belt in in a menacing shaking gesture.

He's a nice guy.” That event should not be viewed as a separate scene. It is a small section lifted from the place/time —continued on page 16— Prodigal Sun �by Randi Scbnur Am Editor At one point in The Gambler, Jimmy, a bookmaker/friend of the hero's, prepares himself to make what he considers a really profound point about his clients, something he "ain't never told nobody." "You know what makes all of them the same?" he asks compulsive gambler Axel Freed. "Yes," Axel answers, ruining Jimmy's big moment, "they're all looking to lose." The big Italian (nearly all the gamblers in this film are Italians only Axel is Jewish) does a double-take and wails, "You mean you know that?" Axel knows it perfectly well, probably was aware of it even before he started playing for big money; an English instructor at a New York City college, a Harvard man, he knows all about motives like this one. Born to win, Axel Freed is fiercely determined to destroy himself. Karel Reisz's film is a harrowing and relentless, but beautifully executed chronicle of Axel's moves toward that end. His obsession has no let-ups, allows no time for rest; every comic moment with his wise-cracking associates, every love scene between Freed and Billie, his girlfriend, and even each point he makes to his literature class refers back to his stupendous debts or his intention to incur still more of them. — her Billie apparently does nothing but wander around the bedroom looking expectantly sexy. She acts adequately, and does have one interesting scene with Axel in a Las Vegas hotel room. But as Grandpa Lowenthal warns, 'That girl was meant for a club not for a man of character and man, a playboy not for a Jew." Billie is pretty but shallow, virtue and so, evidently, is Hutton. Centered entirely around a single obsessive idea, The Gambler is essentially a one-man show, and James Caan is the one man who makes it work. He belongs to an elite corps of male sex symbols (Clark Gable, Cary Grant, and Paul Newman are the other members who immediately come to mind) who can also really act. Watching him discuss Notes from Underground with his class, his tight shirt buttoned just high enough to allow him to hold onto his tenure, we can understand Billie's otherwise incomprehensible devotion. He throws away — - Lethal habit The instant he wins anything, the money goes back into play, usually before his high-pressure creditors have a chance to get it away from him. His refusal to risk anything less than a small fortune at a betting sums he can actually afford to lose time makes gambling less potentially lethal, and therefore renders the adjective much less exciting "compulsive" far too mild a description for Axel's case. He is nothing short of suicidal. Comparisons with the other major gambling film of the season, Robert Altman's California Split, are inevitable. Altman's light touch infuses the suspense inherent in the subject with comedy; Elliott Gould's gags manage to break up most of the perpetually neurotic George Segal's tensest moments. (And even when his jokes fail to amuse Segal, whose status as the recent cinema's quintessential nervous wreck has been challenged by Woody Allen, they succeed with us.) Reisz and screenwriter James Toback take just the opposite approach; instead of using his sense of humor to lighten the proceedings, James Caan's Freed diffuses our occasional laughter .under the weight of his incredible monomania. — — Amiable terrorists What might otherwise have seemed deadening becomes stunning in the hands of The Gambler's generally excellent cast. Although Paul Sorvino's Hips, the friendly loan shark, and Burt Young and Carmine Caridi as bookmakers Carmine and Jimmy all seem interchangeable, the peculiar mixture of terror and amiable good humor evident in each of the three sets them a few steps above Hollywood's usual underworld heavies. Jacqueline Brooke as Axel's doctor-mother Naomi and Morris Carnovsky as grandfather A.R. Lowenthal, furniture dealer and founder of "the largest chain American had ever seen," are both effective, torn between love and sympathy for their beautiful boy and disgust at his choice of avocation. Brooke, in particular, does a fine job with an ambiguous role. Her unusually (for a film dealing with a predominantly "masculine" subject) intelligent, active character is burdened with a script full of cliches, as if Toback, once having created Naomi Freed, didn't quite know how to handle her; but the actress rises above her writer's uncertainty. in the hole? Lauren Hutton, a high-fashion model whose special appeal seems to have been lodged in the large gap between her two front teeth, makes an unimpressive debut as Axel's girlfriend. Until she finally gives up trying to annoy him into reforming. Ace $44,000 in an evening of poker, then quotes Dostoevsky ("Desire is life"), William Carlos Williams, and D.H. Lawrence (Americans "are the greatest dodgers because they dodge their own very selves") to justify his actions. (And how many movie starts could bring that trick off successfully?) Axel's dance of death is marvelously complex, horrifying and yet beautiful to watch. The closing sequence, in which he maneuvers a venomous black prostitute and her pimp into awarding him the red badge of self-destruction he has been searching for, results in a final image that is truly shattering. This parting show is, in fact, the best and most important part of the film. The Gambler, like Axel Freed's mind, never strays from its single track for a moment. Traveling with it to the end of the line may require some patience; it's a difficult, even a grueling journey, but well worth the effort.

Reed explores the societal interstices and enclaves inhabited by the fringe elements of a society slowly going berserk through its own hypocrisy and inequality. Lou's subjects are the rejects and refugees from culture's organized insanity, being dissipated by their own nihilistic madness. The concentration of Reed's tv eye focuses on sexual ambiguity, drugs, and a neo-decadence, all bathed in an aura of depraved kinkiness. When Reed is on target he depicts the seamy sides of Bohemian life styles with arresting power and x-ray clarity. Reed's "Walk On The Wild Side," a slick, spidery jaunt through the bizarreness of Warhol's star stable, and "Sweet Jane," a rocking glance at moral inversion and sexual role dissolution are prime examples of his etching voyeuristic and insightful portraits. Sally Can't Dance is a continuation of this basic Reed theme. Lou croons eight tunes, all immersed in some aspect of the limbo and more often hell-like existence of living or just barely surviving on the amorphous, amphetamine-tainted edges of society. The only surface change Lou has added to his music is a horn section, which lends a touch of funkiness and punch to the proceedings. It's likely this new wrinkle was introduced by producer Steve Katz as a result of his previous association with Blood, Sweat, and Tears. "RideSally Ride" kicks off the LP, and we find Lou trying to make and win the affection of a diffident Sally encased in her heart of ice. Even Lou's pleadings to "Take off your pants don't you know this is a party" don't seem to spark any sort of a reaction. Some nimble background singing and horn work coupled with a strong melody make this cut succeed. The lunacy of "Animal Language" follows. It is an absurd number replete with bow-wows and meows. Only the erratic brilliance of Reed, and tight playing by the band, bring this tune off. The two tracks concerned with drugs are "Baby Face" and "Sally Can't Dance." "Baby Face" fleshes out the story of a relationship encountering rocky going due to Baby Face's propensity for putting her drug appetite first and her lover a poor second. On the title cut Sally, a hip woman, who is into shaking her ass at discos and balling folksingers, discovers that one of the lesser hazards of indulging in a heavy meth diet is a curtailing of her bumping and dancing activities. "Baby Face" is low keyed and sedate in its musical approach, while "Sally Can't Dance" reverts to a romping arrangement to state its — — message. Reed continues to sing in a jaded novocaine fashion. His vocal style definitely requires acquired taste to appreciate, yet on some of the uptempo cuts Lou projects ripples of animation to accompany their liveliness. Perhaps the area most annoying is Reed's penchant to force rhyming schemas. Reed thus forfeits street corner realism for pure jive and shamming. Another casualty is Reed's tune "Billy," which closes the album. The song parallels the growth of Lou and his boyhood chum Billy and the different life options they have pursued. Lou turns on, drops out, and subsequently is declared mentally unfit for the war while Billy, who has become a doctor, goes off to war only to come back numbed and a vegetable from the shattering experience. But instead of being compassionate or searching the song is heavy-handed and vindictive. The supposed raw power of "Billy" falls short and flat on its snide face. Lou's personal appearance has changed, manifesting itself in his dyed blonde locks (this probably being a concession to that generally agreed-upon piece of folk wisdom that blones do have more fun). Turning again to Sally Can't Dance, Lou has created an album light years ahead of his last studio enterprise, Berlin. But then again, Berlin was an abysmal bomb. Novices approaching Reed should put in their apprenticeship with Rock 'n Roll Animal, a more accessible and commercial record. Reed cultists, on the other hand, can immediately savor the spaced rollicking weirdness of Sally Can't Dance. Speaking candidly for this self-proclaimed pundit, I'm just as pleased as puch about a musical perspective divergent from John Denver and his ilk, even if Reed's philosophy often runs headlong into obstacles and dead ends. —C.P. Farkas Page twelve The Spectrum Friday, 25 October 1974 . . ua’jixif'j wm'tqZ njT In the light of recent musical developments in the ever-changing land of Rock, The Who’s new album Odds & Sods is a tasty delight. While many established groups fall back on their roots as a progressive effort. The Who simply dig up their roots for exposure on Odds & Sods. It is a choice collection of unreleased goodies recorded at various phases of the group's advance from Mod to sophisticated. The Who are one of the most exciting groups left and this album unveils some origins of the masterpiece work recorded by the foursome. Opening with "Postcard," a composition by bassist .John Entwistle, the group takes off with a song about the miseries of playing on the foreign road. Like Ray Davies' "Motorway" and "Here Comes Yet Another Day," "Postcard" reveals the pain of disapproving eyes, the incessant constancy of concerts every night, the frustration of bad reviews, and the boredom of long plane rides. Good, rich horns, also by Entwistle, add nicely to the song, making it vaguely reminiscent of Sgt. Pepper's "Good Morning, Good Morning." We now see that a lot of themes in pre-Tommy material were subsequently incorporated into the rock-opera. "Now I'm A Farmer" commences with Keith Moon blitzin' around the drums while Pete raiov»0 ■?. *1 Townsend hits the right chords at the right spots, a theme that has become so thoroughly Who-ish that it is a standard device. Also, "Glow Girl," an immediate predecessor to Tommy, abounds with familiar stuff. Opening with the same four note sequence that begins "Sensation," it progresses to a Hendrix-style plane crash. And if that isn't enough, the closing lines of the song are: "It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it’s a girl." As Townsend has said, "I rarely leave any good idea unused." "Put The Money Down," one of the more recent recordings, is emblematic of modern Who material. We hear one of the major evolutions in the group's career, that of Roger Daltrey's changing vocals. Unlike some other artists (e.g. Van Morrison) who began their careers singing raunchily and then mellowing out as the years progress, Daltrey used to have a real smooth, almost pretty voice. This was manifested on songs like "Tattoo" and "Amazing Journey.” Now Daltrey usually sings with a raw, earthy sound which is fine in the context of the group, but hurt his solo effort. The only redeeming songs on that work were the ones sang with some degree of polish. On the second Tommy with the London Symphony Orchestra, one can observe the difference in Daltrey's singing there and on the original. "Little Billy" is a real gem from 1968 about the of cigarettes and its subsequent cancer. Originally a commercial for the American Cancer Society, it never made it due to its length. The song is about Billy and his classmates. Billy is too fat to be accepted by the others so he does not fall prey to the activity of smoking cigarettes to be cool because it wouldn't've helped him socially anyway. The song evils shoots ahead many years when: "Most of them smoke nearly forty a day A habit Billy doesn't share One by one they're passing away Leaving orphans to Billy's care." But little Billy’s doing fine. Townsend's vocals are just fine, too. "Too Much Of Anything" and "Pure And Easy" are from the Who's Next period. The former, about a weary, tired individual who has done too much and lacks the desire to go one, has some pretty laid back piano. The latter is really the focal point of much of Who's Next, stemming from the last verse of "Song Is Over." Although "Pure And Easy" appeared on Townsend's solo album, the group version is better, due to Daltrey's rendition of the esoteric lyrics. Townsend's guitar comes back at the end like dynamite, and he finishes singing the song. "I'm The Face" is The Who's very first record release back in 1964 and it is remarkable because the song, written by Peter Meaden, is exactly like "Got Love If You Want It," a blues classic which predates this song. Right down to the harmonica arrangement. I wonder how the copyright laws were superseded? The song itself is basically a Mod of that period addressing his bird (or was it babe?). "Naked Eye" fuses some of the best ideas used in Tommy and Quadrophenia. Although a studio piece, this number was written around a concert riff performed at the end of the "Tommy" concerts. Musically reminiscent of the extended jam in the live version of "My Generation" on Live at Leeds, "Naked Eye" gradually became a big concert number. Townsend wanted to record a good live ver-.ion but things must've gone wrong here and there. At least we have this fine studio performance. Daltrey and Townsend trade leads on vocals as they progress through lyrics expressing frustration with the facade of the world. "Long Live Rock," the album's closer, is The Who's tribute to an era. Musically, it's somewhat like "Cut My Hair" and has some Chuck Berry underneath the chorus. Pete Townsend said he once had an idea for a new album about the history of The Who called Rock is Dead Long Live Rock. This idea later developed into what became Quadrophenia. Odds & Sods stands effectively as if it were an excellently produced legal bootleg album. Not many other groups could make a record album out of their obscure tracks at least not a very good one. But The Who, a group that has had exactly the same personnel for over 10 years (try and think of another group), has proved themselves to be consistently good and capable of creating a masterpiece. Odds& Sods has many fine parts and is very enjoyable on the whole. The Who fan will appreciate it as an anthology of musical ideas, while one who is relatively unfamiliar with The Who will find the album pleasing in its own right. —Jerry Duci — — ART HISTORY UNDERGRAD ASSOC otters a Bus trip to Toronto to visit The Chinese Exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum Saturday-Nov. 9th BUS LEAVES BAIRD PARKING LOT AT 10 a.m. AND RETURNS TO UB at 8 p.m. COST: $5.00 BUS - $1.00 admission to museum Sign up in Art History Office 325 Foster Hall and turn in bus money by November 4th.

Wait a minute. If you bothered to read this at all, then you probably like Rod Stewart, right? Remember how good he used to be? Well, you can rest easy now, because he still sounds just like he always did. On Smiler, his fifth solo album, Stewart tends to confine himself to themes that are by now all too familiar. Among these is Stewart's apparent preoccupation with being just like Mick dagger, and consequently, four or five songs here that sound just like the Rolling Stones. Following his standard formula for producing successful albums. Rod has brought together a number of excellent musicians, written a few songs himself, and included material from other prominent songwriters. Among these are Elton John and Paul McCartney, who both contributed original songs to this album. Stewart's last major hit, "Twistin' the Night Away," was originally written and performed by Sam Cooke, so this time around, he has included two Sam Cooke songs, "Bring It on Home to Me," and "You Send Me." "Sweet Little Rock 'n Roller," a Chuck Berry song, is also rendered here, and sounds just like many other Chuck Berry songs. The arrangement of this song is interesting in that it sounds just like the Rolling Stones imitating Chuck Berry. That's progress. Faces guitarist Ron Wood, who plays on most of the album, also co-authored the songs "Sailor" and "Dixie Toot" with Stewart. The former, a song about touring in a rock band, features the Memphis Horns and sounds like the Rolling Stones. The latter, a song abou. touring in a rock band, is more interesting and contains some good tips on how to enjoy oneself in New Orleans: "I'm gonna lose control of my powers / might even lose my trousers Smash some glass. Act like trash if I want Wear a skirt Be a flirt if want. Very nice. No Rod Stewart album would be complete without ballads, and Smiler has its share. Dylan's "Girl from the North Country" comes off well, although the Goffin/King/Wexler standard, "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Man" was better off left to Aretha Franklin. "Farewell," the best song on the album, is modeled a little too closely after its predecessors, "You Wear It Well" and "Maggie May," Stewart’s two biggest hits. Whereas "Maggie May" featured a mandolin and "You Wear It Well" featured a violin, "Farewell" has both plus an arrangement almost identical to the earlier tunes. Despite this, the song is very good; particularly the acoustic guitar work by co-author Martin Quittenton (who also helped write "You Wear It Well"). The lyrics concern another familiar, theme; that of someone leaving home to become a star. Nice going, Rod. Expect to hear it a lot on the radio, and note especially the way Stewart pronounces the words "down" and "town." The two new songs written for Stewart by his friends are good, but not great. "Mine For Me" is one of McCartney's schmaltzier love songs, but is perfectly suited to Rod's vocal style. The instrumentation on this cut includes a steel drum band, giving it a slightly different feel from the rest of the album. "Let Me Be Your Car," by Elton John and Bernie Taupin is a flat-out rocker with bizzare lyrics and a very annoying brass section. The bitch himself plays piano and helps Stewart sing on this one. Rod Stewart made his solo career what it is now by exhibiting a unique talent, recording creative albums such as Gasoline Alley and Every Picture Tells A Story, and since then he has been on a slow downward spiral. This album does not deviate from that path, for Stewart seems more concerned with being a star than a musician. Of course, if you're a real fan, you'll probably buy the album just for the big color picture of Rod on the sleeve. He still looks the same. —John Duncan " / Friday, 25 October 1974 . The Spectrum . Page thirteen �Century Theater Renovated theater brings newline-up of attractions by Richard Diatlo Spectrum Staff Writer An old theater is reopening with a new lineup of rock concerts, theater, ballet, opera, the Buffalo Philharmonic and a Saturday morning Day Care Center. Its familiar name is the Century Theater. Located at 511 Main Street in downtown Buffalo, the Century has been undergoing renovation since it was bought two months ago by Harvey and Corkey Productions. Maintenance crews have been refurbishing the interior, replating brass railings, repainting lounge areas and restoring much of the original architecture in preparation for the October 18 reopening. New stage curtains have been added and overall scenic design is being handled by Jules Fisher, who designed the sets of Pippin and Jesus Christ Superstar. Dancing on chairs 'This structure will allow the audience to get into the music. If people want to get on their chairs and dance, then we'll let them," said Harvey Weinstein of Harvey and Corkey Productions. He criticized Kleinhans Music Hall for being too strict with its audiences. "We'll treat the people like adults, not children," he announced. Mr. Weinstein conceives the new Century Theater as "the Fillmore East of Buffalo." Promising that rock and roll concerts Will not be its only function, he said he has made arrangements with the Buffalo Opera Company, ballet groups and the touring company of Pippin to perform at the Century. He also discussed the possibility of a Saturday morning day care center which would benefit both businessmen and shoppers. Not only would it help bring more business into the area, but it would provide children with a "more meaningful entertainment on Saturday mornings." A childrens' reportery theater group, as well as a staff of doctors, nurses and trained personnel, would be present. Parking discounts Mr. Weinstein is working on parking lot discounts for concert ticket holders. The lots will be patrolled by the police, but the Century Theater's own security patrol will be responsible for the theater itself. Opened on October 17, 1921, by Marcus Lowe of Lowes Theaters, the Century was a great mecca for films. On opening day, Mr. Lowe hired 25 touring cars and brought actress Norma Talmadge to parade down Main Street. Seating capacity was 3000 in those days but the installation of new projection rooms several years ago reduced the capacity to 2600. Future performances will include Van Morrison appearing on October 30th. Mr. Weinstein said there is a good possibility that a benefit concert will be held for Ramsey Clark, starring Harry Chapin, Mary Travers and others.

Prodigal Sun �I Our Weekly Reader Discriminations by Dwight (Viking Press, $15,00) Macdonald Monday of last week and Monday of next week are both national holidays. Everyone knows that a day off's a day off, after all. Yesterday, too, was a holiday but it came and went largely uncelebrated. Yesterday according to my calendar was "United Nations Day." I guess no one could really drum up enough interest to celebrate, or even to notice it. Back in 1946, when so many people were obsessed with the UN's possible future influences, Dwight Macdonald - — — - is the normal mistake; (" 'MacDonald' 'McDonald' takes real talent") wrote, "... I cannot see that the UN is either a hope or a menace; just a bore." Judging from the lack of interest in UN Day and the UN's general inefficacy in doing anything except producing lovely postcards and stamps, and mucking up the Poesque Halloween spirit with UNICEF it looks like he was right about the UN. It - — is a bore indeed. Discriminations, the latest book collecting Macdonald's essays, is never boring. It deals with a spectrum of political and cultural subjects in a way that is "judiciously, discriminatingly ruthless" (as he once described another, younger critic). The essays cover everyone from Norman Thomas to Norman Cousins to Norman Mailer, Mary McCarthy to Mary Poppins and were written during the years 1938-74. "Great ideas," wrote Macdonald in 1969, "can only be expressed in a great style. There is no such thing as a clear message delivered in a confused style; the message is the style and the style is the message. Selah!" Style is his major focus as he approaches concepts as functions of — — style. His parody of Time magazine's early style" pretentious, inverted sentences is particularly amusing: "house — — Celebrated last month by potent newsmag Time, its fifteenth birthday.

Each of the 50 or so essays in Discriminations is either short or short-short, and each can be read as a in fact, that's how they separate entity were originally published, appearing in for the American business community: to give the news an upper-class slant without appearing to violate the creed of "Iobjectivityor "Let's stick to the facts/' which that class holds so dear. No one is more adept at this delicate maneuver than kinetic, bush-browed, twice-wed Henry Robinson Luce, founder and boss of Time, Life, Fortune. And no more striking evidence of his talent is there than Vol. 1, No. 1 of Time, The Weekly Newsmagazine Macdonald adds, prose, one puts in 'of — him. He has built a consistent way of viewing the worlds that transcends any "second thoughts" he may have. Through the personality he forms in his writing, he becomes a colleague or friend to whom an intellectual (or "intellectual") can turn for another opinion. Macdonald's writing is so clear and brilliant that one always knows what he is saying and just where, if anywhere, one disagrees. In his writing career, he has set about exploring the ideas and achievements of others by developing the basis for his own preferences that is, his taste. Taste, in fact, is the first word in talking about Dwight Macdonald . . and the last word in Discriminations no accident. I'll wager. — — . to distinguish meaning: accurately. What he's really doing is forcing us to read past the title to get a clear idea of what actually is the controlling principle of his writing. The dustjacket features Macdonald wearing a "McCarthy" button, but you've got to look past that — — button to determine whether it refers to Joe ("the Bad") or Gene ("the Good"). Context to know Macdonald's work is — to know whose button he's sporting is extremely important. Most of the essays in — Discriminations are written around quotes from participants in the event (or the writer of the book) he is discussing. A setting is created to enhance the impact of pointing — Overshadowing the significance of his three years the very similar "March of Time" parody in Citizen Kane. Macdonald's own style involves using commonplace words or concepts to surprise us by reminding us of old associations we had forgotten and to perceive intriguing suggestions we had never noticed. The book's title, for instance, brings to mind the notion of "social injustice," but Macdonald points out he's using the word according to its primary and, nowadays, often forgotten by feeling opinions on specific issues is the sense he gives of himself as an intelligent, shrewd, and witty observer of subjects that interest is especially fascinating, anticipating as it does by a good quotations strong sociologese. This the of continuity is established; Macdonald actually cares about what he has written in the past and its relationship in time to what he is currently thinking on a particular topic. Some of the essays deal with frivolous subjects, and some make extremely important statements on crucial issues: "Our Invisible Poor" is an example of the latter, dealing with a segment of the a population that is horribly mistreated segment including, significantly, old people on fixed incomes. It should be a required part of sociology texts, replacing misleading charts and unreadable A out with remarkable acuity just what it is about the best ideas that makes them so good, or, if the person quoted is especially wrongheaded, showing just where that person went astray. George Orwell wrote, "Of course, it is obvious now that the Macdonald has had a long career "in the public eye." In recent years as the essay in Discriminations called "Massachusetts — such places as The New Yorker, Partisan Review, Esquire, Dissent, and The New York Review of Books. Still, I wouldn't advise reading the book that way. Instead, begin with page 1 (actually, i) and continue through page 466, as the book is set out (page 371, which begins a piece called "The Absent-Minded Professor," is, absent-mindedly and unsystematically, left unnumbered. But let that pass it doesn't pay to flog a production department, really). Macdonald as carefully sets his own — context with forewords, updating footnotes, and appendices as he does the quotations pieces in — afterwards, — from other sources within his individual essays vs. Mailer" points out he was a witness at Norman Mailer's famous "drunk and disorderly" trial (admittedly, the judge — testimony "irrelevant"). ruled his Macdonald was personally involved in "The Columbia Student Strike of 1968" as another essay shows, and he was very active in supporting Dr. Spock and the draft resisters. As Macdonald recalls, "I got there late, couldn't find Dave (McReynolds) or anybody in charge and was lost hopelessly in the crowd. I even failed to get arrested as usual." On one occasion he was even insulted at the White House be Charlton Heston and Ralph Ellison. Macdonald says: — —continued on page 16— BAILEY W.

Unless they appear regularly on or distinguish themselves in other fields, critics rarely achieve mass fame. A final self-reflexive note in this vein: doing an article of criticism on articles of criticism on books that offer criticism of political events and, occasionally, of other television, 'Naked Lunch', continuum with important contacts before and after it. Think of it as step number 439 in a series of a thousand you have marched off during a walk. Here, the walk is Burroughs' vision of the human condition. No one stopping place, skip, or jump is more important than any other. You may relish or disapprove of them separately, in conjunction with others, or as a whole. Again, the burden lies within the viewer to draw from or project into the piece whatever he finds relevant or engaging. For this reason, my personal opinions on any moral questions the piece might raise are irrelevant. How and where I plugged my own realities into Burroughs' realities are of little consequence here, as I need not trouble you here with my own kinkiness. The most striking aspect of the show was the energy and pure joy evinced by the actors during their task. The Chicago Project/New York, a theater ensemble whose members have been together for five years, showed an amazing cohesion while performing a pliece that is, essentially, a series of disjunctive segments.

To return to Citizen Kane, one feels a bit like Welles, in that scene near the end, as he walks past the mirror of mirrors. Perhaps this has occurred to Dwight Macdonald from time to time. But when the subject criticized and the criticism itself is as good as are the essays in Discriminations, then the relationship is not so much parasitic, really, as symbiotic. -Jay Boyar —continued from page 10— .. intensity The tight-knit quality of the ensemble is best illustrated by the final series of incidents, entitled Benway.

The greater portion of Benway is a dialogue dominated by the doctor, in which he explains his methods in great detail. Rather than one person's playing Benway, different members of the project drift in and out of the role, sometimes in mid-sentence. This does not in any way break the rhythn of this section, but rather enhances it. The different postures and accents affected by each member work upon the viewer as a variety of wines work upon the palate in a fine meal; each one is in itself superb, yet each is a subordinate experience to the experience as a whole.

It dances that's the only way I can describe it. His control over it is perfect; he can do anything he desires with it. It twitches, shakes, explodes, tightens into a prune.

His voice is just as important a tool it bursts out in great — Arts Staff If you're really in a hurry, skip on down to the third paragraph, because what is said there is of some importance.

And deFunes is just as capable of playing with subtlety and onomatopoetic It's French with English subtitles, first of all. It's about a French businessman, one Pivert, a vehement anti-foreigner (a smoky, air-polluting exhaust pipe is ''typically Belgian" to him) and arch-Catholic. He gets thrown together with an Omar Sharif-ish political figure from some Middle Eastern country, who is being pursued by a clutch of rather inefficient nasties. Our heroes disguise themselves as rabbis in an attempt to escape, only to be mistaken for the great Rabbi Jacob and his secretary, who have just arrived from America. There are chases, lovers, and bumbling, indignant cops. All ends happily, of course, in ways you'd best discover on your own. restraint when such is required. Tramp a la Francais If Jacques Tati (a.k.a. Mr. Hulot) is France's Keaton unruffled, absurdly logical, quietly at odds with the creations of man then deFunes is its Chaplin. He has none of the Little Fellow's usually soggy sentiment, nor does he relentlessly remain the underdog to enlist audience sympathy, as Chaplin does. But deFunes is still almost equal to the Tramp in the quantity of appeal that he generates. (Since the sense of being manipulated that I feel in Chaplin's work is also absent, deFunes' appeal is perhaps superior to Chaplin's in quality.) — — Gifted rabbi "Rabbi" Jacob is a find in a number of ways, primarily in that it enables us to discover one of the great clowns of our time. His name is Louis deFunes, and he plays the lead role of Pivert in the film. DeFunes looks to be in his 50's, short, balding, a trifle portly. None of that, though, is as important as the fact that he is a very funny man, a comic with tremendous natural gifts. baggage processor, recall both war against machinery that Keaton and Fields each waged. Disguised as the Rabbi, with his and Opera. In general, Oury subscribes in this film to the Mack Sennett philosophy of anything-for-a-laugh, and he implements it in a very refreshing way. His cast might not totally agree, though, especially the five or so of them who had to submit to sliding into a vat of green chewing gum. mitzvah scene, in which the gags are played down and the general mood is tasteful and subdued.) The plot the “Where people & turns on a string of brilliantly timed comic coincidences. In this, and in the fraying of a half-dozen plotlines that are all neatly joined at the end, it almost resembles one of Shakespeare's "joyous comedies." Indeed, the pervading mood of "Rabbi" Jacob is one of relentless joy. It is consciously naive; although it possesses a fine actor in deFunes, there is no top-heavy As to the Jewish element of the film, well, being Jewish is no more necessary if one is to enjoy "Rabbi'' Jacob than having prospecting experience is necessary to appreciate The Gold Rush. It's not easy to miss the point when deFunes, as the bogus Rabbi, blesses a cheering crowd with the sign of the cross. This entire aspect of the film is really a continuation of the old comic tradition of placing someone totally Director Oury seems to have kept an on the classics of film comedy. A lengthy spree through a bubble gum factory and deFunes' trip through an airport out of his depth and forcing him to bluff his way through, so that we can laugh at the mistakes he makes.

As the roadies changed equipment, the crowd poured in for the long awaited concert. J. Geils was to appear with Emerson, Lake and Palmer at Summer Fest but cancelled to the disappointment of many people. Now, about seven thousand were here to see them do their thing. Sparklers and fire crackers went off in the audience as the wild and wonderful J. Geils Band came on stage. Going into a rendition of "Southside Shuffle" you could immediately tell they were going to be hot and that is an understatement. They performed every number superbly, playing as if possessed. It was a dream come true. Peter Wolf, lead vocalist, promptly went into the antics for which he is well known.

The epitome of virility, his suggestive stances while playing electric guitar added dynamism to the atmosphere. The air grew dense as the crowd became ecstatic with the fantastic vibes. Monster numbers such as "Looking For A Love," "Hard Drivin' Man," and "Give It To Me" sent everyone on one gigantic high. It seemed like it would never end. As far as I'm concerned it never will.

A rare performance by a rare performer. In his "annual shuffle off to Buffalo," Canadian folk singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot provided a down-home mellow atmosphere for last Friday night's Kleinhans Music Hall audience. His repertoire consisted mostly of folk songs written by himself, old standards such as 'Tennessee Stud" and bits of country-style humor and personal stories. As far as his music went. Lightfoot was relaxed and ready. His singing and guitar playing were as sharp as on any of his albums and had to have come as close to studio quality in a live performance as I have ever heard. All the old Lightfoot favorites such as "If You Could Read My Mind," "Sundown," and These little humorisims seemed show that he wanted more out of his concert than just getting in front of an audience and singing his songs for them. He seemed to want a diversion from standing on stage, singing, leaving and doing the same thing somewhere else night after night. The impression was left at least with me that Gordon wanted the people to take home more than a memory of a "live" performance of a famous singer. He wanted the audience to know a little bit of the "real" Gordon Lightfoot. His satiristic and easy-going mood permeated the concert. Besides his talks between songs his facial expressions during the songs maintained this mood. He was relaxed and was obviously trying to enjoy the evening as much as the audience. to — — "Beautiful" were among the most well received tunes. He also introduced some new material from his upcoming album as well as doing a little of his lesser known stuff. Humorist? Four numbers into the concert, Gordon Lightfoot began to "personalize" his performance by informing the audience that he felt "lower than quail shit in a wagon rut" and "rougher than a bear turd rolled in fish hooks." Although these quaint humorisms provided amusement for the crowd, he apparently meant it. Even so, it did not affect his performance. Prodigal Sun Divorce country style After joking about a new song he supposedly was working on entitled "Your Tits Turn Me On More Than Any Udder'' (mixed groans and chuckles), he showed a little of his more serious side. He sang a sad song about his recent divorce called "Divorce Country Style" and followed that with a solo on the piano which he wrote for his daughter Ingrid and named after her. Lightfoot's madrigal on a love affair he once had with a Playboy Bunny he met on a flight from New York to London was also a departure from his otherwise humorous tendency. In retrospect, those of who were ready for a mellow, warm evening of Gordon Lightfoot last Friday, got everything hoped for and more. —David Rivet — Tickets $3.50 — 1 — —~ f“ - “i GOOD FOOD RESTAURANT Hong Kong Chicken with vegetable.

He went into a story of how when he was in Tasmania, he wanted to see if Tasmanian Devils really existed and were not "just characters on a Bugs Bunny cartoon." He was shown one in a cage and claimed that they make a noise (which he attempted to imitate) when their cage is kicked. During his encore a member of the audience again imitated a spiel from the folk singer. This time some guy placed a bar of "Lightfoot" soap on the stage during Gordon's first encore song, "Children of Today." Midway through the first verse he stopped and picked up the soap, showed it to his lead guitarist, Terry Clemmens, and bass guitarist. Rich Hanes, (who were his only backups by the way) and said, "I know we've been on the road for a few days, He shook his head, put the soap down and but . . continued the song as though nothing had happened. —* Livingston Taylor Annual concert Lightfoot sings those down home, mellow folky tunes — chud 12th—IPJI.

The United Nations recently voted by a 105-4 margin to recognize the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as the official voice of the Palestinian people. While recognizing the plight of the Palestinians and the necessity for international cooperation in finding a solution, we are appalled that the PLO has been given this status. This organization has sanctioned and condoned murder and terrorism in Khartoum, Athens, Munich, Maalot, and other places around the world. Their avowed aim is the complete annihilation of the State of Israel. This is in direct contradiction to the U.N. Charter as well as an ethical and moral outrage. We urge all concerned individuals to write letters to the President, the Secretary of State, and the American Ambassador to the U.N. commending the integrity shown by the United States’ vote against the PLO’s recognition. Letters should also be sent to the President of the General Assembly condemning the United Nations’ action. We also urge everyone to join us in a public demonstration on November 4, the first day of the U.N. debate, protesting the PLO’s presence there. More information can be obtained at our table in the center lounge of the Norton Union. The Ad-Hoc Committee Against Terrorism But seriously . . . by Spaiky AJzamora By the time you read this, I will have quit smoking cigarettes again. That’s right, old Phillip Morris Jr. is going on the proverbial wagon for the 365th time over a four-year nicotine span. 1 figure 1 quite once every four days. I hate myself. 1 hate myself because I’m such a chicken shit quitter (CSQ). We CSQs are forever telling ourselves that today is the day to kick the habit. We’re a determined lot until we pass by the candy counter. And then it’s always “A pack of so and so, please.” CSQs have the will power of a maggot just call me maggot brain. People who never took up the habit don’t know what it’s like to quit. It’s easy for them to say “Why don’t you just quit” and we CSQs respond, “Take it up for a year, asshole, and you’ll see how easy it is.” We’re a vindictive bunch. But then again, we’ve got more guts than those hard-line smokers you might have seen in advertisements for Vantage cigarettes. It’s usually a full-page ad, with some attractive model lounging in a swivel chair proclaiming “Sure, 1 read what they say in the papers linking cigarette smoking to lung cancer, emphysema, bronchitis, and bad breath, but heck, I enjoy smoking too much to give it up. Besides, by the time I get cancer, they’ll have a cure for it.” It’s frustrating because I almost believe it. But I’ve managed to retain some intelligence in my rapidly deteriorating maggot brain. That is, cigarettes are pretty bad for your health. And your wallet too. I’ve spent close to half a grand buying Newports. I could have used that money for opera lessons. (I’m a fantastic baritone.) Or an air-conditioner. Or a whole wardrobe of tacky clothes. Five hundred dollars gone, burnt right down to the filters. I hate myself. Okay, I know it’s a waste of money. Sure I could have bought a revolver for a few bucks and shot my lungs out. It’s the same thing, right? No, no, no. 1 ain’t dead yet. CSQs obviously cannot quit by themselves. We need the TLC, the patience, the understanding, the punches of our loved ones. 1 don’t mean they have to get obnoxious. Promise the CSQs rewards for quitting. Right now I’ll quit forever if you raise $1000. CSQs have a price, CSQs can be bribed. The U.S. Government should help too. They ought to hire the top insurance agents in the country and send them out to the tobacco fields in Louisville. If that theory about talking to plants works, those fields could be barren in less than 24 hours. Insurance men would be national heroes. If that idea seems too extreme, the Government could soak all the match heads in the nation with lighter fluid. Once that baby hits the flint, poof! No eyebrows. We’d be the most ridiculous looking citizens of any country in the Western Hemisphere. (There’s got to be creepier looking people on the other side.) I don’t know about you, but 1 value my eyebrows and I’d quit smoking, if there was a chance of losing them. Lungs can be replaced; but eyebrows were meant to last a lifetime. Thirdly (and I endorse this method with great reservations), the boys in Washington could initiate a national “gross-out” campaign. CSQs hate being reminded of cancer victims who breathe through flaps in their throats and take in liquids through the ear. Each cigarette package, box and carton would display pictures of these unfortunates and I bet sales would drop in no time. Imagine the scene, Mr. Suave: “Would you care for a cigarette, my dear.” “All right, Mister... say, what’s that on your cigarette pack?” “It looks like a man missing his lower jaw .. Bleh.” “Take a hike, jerk.” If nothing else, it’ll discourage foreplay. - . Buffalo Law School, active in Prisoners’ Rights, recently received a letter from Margaret Gatling, a prisoner at Bedford Hills, which described a startling series of events, culminating in the first uprising in a women’s prison in sixteen years. the State University at This is a cry of help from one of the oppressed women confined here at Bedford Hills Camp. But especially for the 43 women that were involved in the disturbance that took place here on Thursday, August 29, 1974. We have been denied access to the news media. Therefore, the true events that led to the disturbance have not been revealed. On Wednesday, August 28, 1974, at approximately 10:40 p.m., five male guards used brute force (i.e. handcuffs, belts, feet, fists and discussed using tear gas) to remove one woman from her cell. This scene was witnessed by some 28 women living in building no. 112 on D corridor. The woman, Carol Crooks’ screams and pleas for them not to hit her anymore could be heard all over the campus. This was not the first time that the same woman has been subjected to the Superintendent Janice Warren and her regime’s brutal tactics. This same woman has endured this same type of abuse several times in the past. Naturally being women, it affected everyone of us. even We requested to speak with someone that night, to no avail. On Thursday, August 29, 1974, we again requested to speak with Janice Warren. She refused, but did agree to speak with two spokeswomen. I was one of the women. The meeting lasted from 12:45 p.m. until 2:25 p.m. We left her office more perplexed than we were when we entered. Once again, we pleaded with Mrs. Warren to go up and speak with the women. She refused and dismissed us saying, “She had a Salvation Army meeting to attend, and already she him waiting too long!” Imagine, a that has sworn to protect us at all costs woman thinks more of a meeting than the women in her had kept charge Then and only then did the disturbance come about. It was not one of violence, but one for recognition from the public as to the cruel and unhuman treatment that we are subjected to. Several of the women involved in the disturbance, including myself, were severely beaten by the male guards. We have yet to receive proper medical treatment. One kid 19 years old who suffers from asthma and bleeding ulcers started throwing up blood one night. For seven days we were not allowed to bathe, our food was shoved under the locked gates to us, leaving them to sleep on bare, filthy floors. Does not the Constitution of the United States apply to us? Was it not the security of the institution that was supposedly threatened because of the disturbance? Then is it justice that the Deputy Superintendent of Security, Francis Clement, render punishment on us?

Any assistance that you might render in our plight to obtain justice will be deeply appreciated. Respectfully awaiting a reply of acknowledgement Peace in our generation To the Editor. In recent weeks, the members of the University have been subjected to a barrage of propaganda from the proponents of the Day Care Center (who are, we are supposed to believe, in the majority at this educational playground). The University, we are told, has a responsibility to provide funds for the continuation of the Day Care Center. In this society, the usual reason for responsibility in raising children is paternity. Thus, it must be obvious that the State University at Buffalo is the father of these little tykes (a fact previously hidden, due to the vast expense incurred in handing out 25,000 every couple months). Since Daddy SUNYAB is too busy to look after the little devils by himself, I propose that, rather than keep them, he should sell them, or auction them off to the highest bidder. The money thus garnered can be used to buy other, older children, who can take care of themselves and will not require the Day Care Center. In this way we can solve the problem to everyone’s satisfaction, and achieve peace in our generation. Patrick Quinlivan Bring football back To the Editor. 1 believe that it’s about time that we all stop kidding around and get a decent athletic program around here. I am one student who is dissatisfied at the skimpy program already existing, which seems to be blundering downward. Nobody around here cares, and that’s what eats my “derriere.” I believe that we should have a well-balanced program of varsity sports, which should include a varsity football team. I think that a football team is the thing we need I.D. around here to get the boat back on top of the water. All top colleges and universities have both academic and athletic programs to attract the attention to it. We don’t, and I think that we all should do something now! I for one have a strong desire to play, if we had a football team. So just take a time out and think of what you’re missing in your college career. I believe that if a team could get back, it could do a lot to bring back our entire program of sports, and would generate community interest. Patrick LaPiano fiasco To the Editor. At last, my smiling countenance is linked to the University student 243803. 1, at long last, have an I.D. card! The cheap piece of plasticized paper with my sealed photograph is, however, hardly worth the sequence of events necessary to get an identity. First was the long line, over sixty students long, and I timed the process at only about one student per minute. You do the math. I refused to wait and came back on Thursday night. There was no line, but when 1 returned a week later (I tried inane coming back earlier but was told 1 had to wait at least a week) there was no record of me ever having a photograph made. 1 was immediately given a “retake.” Excellent, I thought, the system is slow but rectifies its mistakes quickly. Wrong, I discovered. When I returned at the appointed hour to pick up my “retake,” it was not ready and 1 was forced to do without an identity for another weekend. Others have suffered worse fates. There must be some way of expediting the process of linking students to faces. Either the University should 1) be aware of the number of cards required and delegate enough personnel to handle the process so that a minimum amount of time is wasted or 2) upon entering the university a student should be issued a permanent identification card which is indelibly validated each term he or she is registered.

Controversy began on August 29, when 50 inmates demonstrated in support of another inmate, Carol Crooks, who allegedly assaulted four guards in February of 1974 after her repeated requests for medication for an illness were ignored. Several correction officers allegedly gassed and beat Ms. Crooks, dragged her around the prison grounds, and then put her in solitary confinement. Disabling injuries Because of her injuries, Ms. Crooks was unable to conduct daily activities like showering. She was given no medical assistance, and was convicted and sentenced to seven to 25 years. On August 29, Ms. Crooks was accused of striking another inmate and was ordered to report to prison authorities regarding the scuffle. (A third inmate later admitted to the assault.) Since her conviction appeal was pending, Ms. Crooks attorney had advised her not to speak to officials unless he was present. She complied with his advice and refused to see the prison authorities. When they summoned her she told them that if they wished to see her, they should come to her cell where witnesses would be present. That evening, after the inmates had been locked in for the evening, several male guards allegedly beat Ms. Crooks until she was unconscious and then removed her from her cell. (Male guards, incidentally, are only used when there are “dire emergencies,” according to Janice Warren, superintendent at Bedford Hills.) State control Brute force Proposals on coastal zones by Thom Kristich Staff Writer Robinson of the Grand island Citizens for Responsible Planning agreed with the basic intent of the bill, but was concerned that it might neglect the Spectrum Local homeowners and representatives of local governmental agencies expressed concern Monday over possible state bureaucratic control of state coastal lands. The group gathered at a public hearing held by the State Senate Conservation Committee in the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. Sen. Bernard C. Smith (R., Northport) is the author of a bill that would create a 12-member state commission and six regional planning boards to determine the use of the state’s coastal lands and water resources. The 100-page bill defines the coastal zone as the area 1000 yards inland from the waterline and extending to the territorial limit in the Great Lakes and Atlantic marine area. Home rule Sen. Smith urged local communities and towns with waterfront areas to work together to solve their coastal problems. He exphasized that the proposed legislation would not usurp local government rule or constitute a takeover of lands and homes by the state. Local governments with sophisticated zoning plans would continue deciding the bulk of future land and water use. Objections to the bill were voiced by a majority of witnesses appearing before the committee. Jack needs of “John Q. Citizen.” He also was worried about the creation of a bureaucracy, the destruction of “home rule,” and the exclusion of citizens from the planning process. Niagara Falls Mr. Robinson proposed that two citizen-staffed planning boards replace the six proposed by the commission. The role of educating the public would be left to the media, Mr, Robinson said. Assemblyman John Daly (R., Lewiston) said the bill as proposed would affect 40 percent of the land mass of <the city of Niagara Falls and 70 to 75 percent of its economy. Mr. Daly insisted that Niagara Falls have a representative on a regional planning board. He told the committee that the majority of industries in Niagara Falls are located within the 1000-yard region defined in the bill. This would mean that a law proposed for a Long Island district could adversely affect an industry in Niagara Falls. Mr. Daly was certain the bill would result in a time delay and would discourage building in Niagara Falls. He cited 60 acres of land slated for urban development which fall within the 1000-yard range Margaret Gatling, one of the inmates who witnessed the scene, described the incident in a letter to Herman Schwartz, a professor at the State University at Buffalo Law School, and Mark Keren, a third-year law student. “Five male guards used brute force [i.e., handcuffs, belts, feet, fists and even discussed using teargas], she reported. In response to this event, approximately 50 women joined together in protest. The next morning, they assembled in the recreation yard and, in an attempt to attract the attention of the prison officials, began banging sticks and metal objects. Their one demand was to speak to the superintendent with a representative of the media present. The request was denied. Ms. Gatling, one of the spokeswomen for the group, described what happened after one subsequent meeting with the superintendent. “Then, and only then, did the disturbance come about. It was not one of violence, but one for recognition from the public as to the cruel and inhuman treatment we are subjected to. “Several of the women involved in the disturbance, including myself, were severely beaten by male guards. We have yet to receive medical attention,” she continued. Prison authorities deny that any force was used, except in the case of one inmate. Severe ‘punishment’ and would mean a $250 million improvement for the Ms. Gatling also said, “For seven days we were not allowed to bathe, our food was shoved under the locked gates to us. Several of the women’s beds were removed, leaving them to sleep on bare, filthy floors.” Administrative proceedings were initiated the next day, and approximately 30 women were placed in solitary confinement for periods ranging from 30 to 60 days. In addition, many of the women whose “good behavior” had earned them a reduction of their sentence, had as many as eight months of that time added back. Currently, half of the women remain in solitary confinement. Ms. Crooks was transferred to Fishkill, a men’s prison which houses 1 1 city. women Although the uprising at Bedford Hills has passed, the inmates continued their attempts to bring this event, and prison conditions, to the attention of the public. have S.A.

Buffalo was soundly beaten by the Bengals, 15-47, and by the Purple Eagles,-16-43, despite trouncing the Griffins, 19-44. For the Bulls, any chance of upsetting either Niagara or Buffalo State were wiped out even before the starting gun went off. Knee problems have hampered Buffalo captain and top runner Paul Carroll for more than a week and he could not compete. As a team, Buffalo ran well, staying together throughout the race, but they were no match for the powerful Bengals or the Purple Eagles, who had shut them out earlier in the season. Freshman Kevin Lynch continued his string of strong performances with an eleventh place finish, the best by any Bull harrier. However, all the post-race talk revolved around Buffalo State Freshman Gary Lantinen. Lantinen breezed through the race, winning by a comfortable margin. With the expected organization of Buffalo State, Niagara, Buffalo and Canisius, into an athletic conference, this annual meet will be taking on increased importance in years to come. Coach Jim McDonough speculated that there might even be a trophy associated with it in the future. He and the other coaches have tentatively agreed to establish Delaware Park as the permanent site for the race instead of rotating it from school to school each year as has been done in the past. McDonough had no comments after the race. The Bulls ran and finished as expected. However, the Buffalo coach did use this race as an opportunity to look ahead, noting, “It’s a good tune-up for the Canisius Invitational.” The Bulls will be running in this annual event along with about twenty other schools, mostly from the northeast and midwest United States. Buffalo hopes to improve on last year’s 18th place finish out of 21 teams. The Bulls’ chances for improvement at the Canisius Invitational still hinge on the condition of Paul Carroll’s knee. Carroll tried working out yesterday and is expected to run on Saturday.

For the first time in my career, Buffalo’s Athletic Department started the year with an activated budget. For the past three years, no budget was passed until November. Revisions were not only acceptable but demanded, despite the fact that the fiscal period in question had already begun and expenses were being incurred. All three years the Athletic Department proclaimed extreme disappointment and dismay. Last year, it even threatened to close up the shop and go home. This year the department has seen fit to alter active lines something it finally had after years of struggle. In fact, it claims that it was not aware of which set of proposed budget lines had been passed. Athletic Director Harry Fritz has said he received only a total figure from the SA, which is highly unlikely. What is more likely is that he only chose to look at the total figure. Then (and this must be starting to sound like a broken record) he considered it his professional perrogative to adjust the individual lines as he saw fit. One of the problems here is a lack of effective communir' ion r odents between the student powers and the Athletic Department. get ignores the either doesn’t or them, department send memos and them. The department decides to join an athletic conference without bothering to tell the student officials. Somehow the department makes starting with the wrong budget. revisions Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the Student Association does not have the official, a review board chairman, whose job it would be to prevent this shit It seems possible that the whole scandal over line transfers out of intramurals and recreation and into the making up of a deficit (it should be noted that two intercollegiates, mens’ basketball and fencing, actually received increases from the Executive committee’s past figures), could have been avoided if the department had simply, as SA Student Affairs coordinator Howard Schapiro suggested, kept the lines the same and added the money that the administration was to substitute to the income line of the total budget. On the other hand, if this substitution of funds argument does not account for all the cuts made, the department would then have been in the same trouble with less defense. However, Dr. Fritz told me several weeks ago, that the funds that had been taken away from the “bubble” would remain in intramurals and recreation. That statement now appears inoperative. The Student Association, through its leadership, has challenged the Athletic Department on the issue of control. It is the students who now have threatened to close up shop. The one person most responsible is Schapiro, who was determined from the start that intramurals and recreation get all it possibly could. Schapiro’s views on the budget situation tend to be one-sided and superficial, but he is to be applauded for defending to the end the very popular intramural program. Now the ball goes back to the department. Us reaction is predictable. The question is how far will the student leaders carry this noble crusade, and will they be big enough to have the program, and not their collective pride, at heart. This is not to say that they would be wrong categorically to freeze the funds, but such an act is a drastic one and is only justified by drastic circumstances. Actually, if the students could get their act together, determine larger policy questions, and have them followed by Fritz and his people, the need for watching budget lines like a hawk would disappear. All relatively unimportant issues like this, and it really is a minor thing, would take care of themselves. But only if the students had input into scheduling, level of competition, and otherjjriority item questions. Oh wait, I can hear Fritz now. “Those things are a matter of professional perogative.” MOD STYLES FOR GUYS & GALS! Gat the real goods at discount pricas. Air forca parkas, field jackets.

BankAmw. — 853 1515 1 “TENT CITY" 730 Main, at Tupper VtHr. free parking Foreman-Ali Greatest heavyweight bout Next Tuesday night the eyes of the sporting world will be on Kinshasa, Zaire, formerly Leopoldville, Congo, and the long awaited world heavyweight championship fight between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali. The eyes of the promoters, a firm named Video Techniques Inc., will be on boxoffices from New York to Los Angeles, and from Miami to Toronto. While George and Muhammed try to destroy each other, Video Techniques must destroy the record gross of 20 million dollars set by the Ali-Frazier extravaganza several years ago. The fight is billed as the greatest heavyweight championship bout of all time, though some historic couplets like Dempsey-Firpo and Louis- Schmelling may disagree. What it is, without dispute, is the most expensive sports event ever. Each fighter will receive a fast five million for his efforts, though they can expect to make a sizeable contribution to Zaire’s national treasury before they are allowed to leave. Poor George, who is being sued by his ex-wife for a whole lot of money, may come out of the thing with a mere several hundred thousand, still a far cry from his old Job Core days in Detroit. $80 cars Though it is true that two black men will beat each other up so that a lot of white people can enjoy the spectacle, all racial analyses pale in the light of what the consumers are being charged for this. In New York, theaters seats are going for $20 while drive-ins have established and $80 minimum per car. The famous Waldorf Hotel will show the fight and provide unlimited drinks for a mere $45. Most Buffalo locations seem to be selling seats $15 at a piece, while the Niagara Falls Convention Center goes from $10 to $20. In order for an American to see the bout in person would have meant a $2,700 trip that includes two nights in Zurich and two nights in Rome before the morning in Kinshasa. Oh yes, the fight will start, very conveniently, at 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, which will be the next morning in Zaire. And for all this, the fight takes place during Zaire’s rainy season, after a month long postponement due to a cut over Foreman’s eye. Despite the fact that Ali claims there was not cut, that it was just Foreman’s way of getting more training time, it probably won’t take long for Ali to try to reopen that cut. If, of course, he gets a chance. Foreman is stronger than your average ox and an aging Ali will have his hands full wigh him. For the first time since the first Liston fight, Ali is a decided underdog. There is a great sense of loss surrounding this bout. Loss of the sport for the average guy who is being priced out of the market. But there is a deeper, more emotional loss as well. According to prefight win or announcements, this will be Ali’s last fight lose. - End of an era Love him or hate him, this represents the end of an era, one that boxing may never replace. Foreman, as good as he is, is a dull boxer. The best young boxer, Teophilo Stevenson, refuses to leave his native Cuba or turn pro. Today’s young adults were raised on Ali. Starting with a brash young Kentuckian named Clay, to a proud Muslim champion, we then saw him into the political years when he lost his first fight ever to a Houston draft board. Finally we saw, and still see, an Ali exonerated by the courts, but just not his former self. If not for losing those years, he might have been the best champion ever. The excitement, controversy, and levity that he brought to a dying sport will be sorely missed. Friday, 25 October 1974 . The Spectum . Page twenty-five �CLASSIFIED Shoppe. AD INFORMATION 874-0120.

At a news conference in the Cordon Bleu Restaurant in Cheektowaga, before addressing a luncheon of Erie County labor union supporters, Mr. Wilson assailed Representative Hugh Carey, his democratic opponent, for making “irresponsible” promises to hold the line on tuition and work for a tuition rollback. “There’s nothing more cruel than someone making a promise that he cannot fulfill,” the governor said. “Double-digit inflation” is milking many taxpayers, he asserted, and noone could predict what the economic stituation would be in a year or two. Ruling out free tuition, Mr. Wilson said the loss of $150 million in revenue would imbalance the state budget and require increased taxation in other areas. No student vote Mr. Wilson discussed educational issues at a special meeting with student government representatives and student journalists from the State University at Buffalo, immediately prior to his appearance before the regular press corps. The Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), which he signed into law this year, will “help young people get eduaction, both in the public and private sector and move us back to freedom of choice,” the governor said. Discussing student representation at the state-wide level, Mr. Wilson said he opposed placing one voting student on the SUNY Board of Trustees and one on each of the local College Councils. Students are much happier when the administration is in control, Mr. Wilson said, recounting how increased student involvement in the governance of Fordham University during the 1940’s had “almost destroyed” the institution. “That’s what happened when the peer pressure of a small militant group was requiring students to go along with them,” he emphasized. “I don’t say things that people like to hear,” Mr. Wilson said half a dozen times, as if sensing that many of his views on education would not be popular with students. The governor went on to say that he would not automatically oppose any legislation aimed at curtailing student mandatory fees. “I would have to see the precise bill, and determine what its broad public effect would be,” Mr. Wilson maintained. He acknowledged that he “did not know enough about mandatory fees.” Asked whether students should be allowed to vote in their school districts, Mr. Wilson replied, “They should vote where their commitment is where they are showing the responsibility. It would be manifestly unfair and improvident to have students vote to decide who will be the mayor [of a city that wasn’t their permanent residence],” he explained. Mr. Wilson blamed his opponent for contributing to inflation by voting for $131 million in deficits. Mr. Carey was engaging in “first degree fakery” when he gave vague and unpractical solutions for unemployment and rising prices, the governor said, pointing to the Brooklyn congressman’s absence from Congress during 11 key labor votes. “He’s like the man who murders his mother and then pleads for clemency because he is an orphan,” Mr. Wilson said of his democratic opponent. — Empty-chair Although he blasted Mr. Carey for having an “empty chair” voting record. Governor Wilson would not take a stance against empty chair voting in the state legislature, which some observers feel has deterred proper representation. Mr. Wilson, who served in the State Assembly for more than 20 years, said, “The [state] Constituion tells the legislature that representation shall be there’s no luxury like telling someone its responsibility to do something you can’t do.” Discussing the Rockefeller confirmation, Governor Wilson said he would not seek an investigation of the more than $500,000 in gifts and loans to William J. Ronan, chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He said it was “up to Congress” to determine whether there was any impropriety, and that he personally felt his predecessor’s confirmation “would be a great day for the peoples of the free world.” Mr. Wilson indicated that the Vice Presidential designee had contributed $34,000 to the Friends of the Governor Wilson team, a substantially smaller sum than he had first believed. - Soft on crime At the labor luncheon following the press conference, Wilson shared the dais with Ralph J. Caso, his running Mr. mate for Lieutnant Governor, l|S Senator James Buckley, and a score of labor leaders and Republican notables. In a keynote address to 1,000 luncheon guests, the governor accused Mr. Carey of being soft on crime because of his opposition to the death penalty. “I plan to seek the return of the death penalty for felony murders,” Mr Wilson declared. Sharing the sentiments of his running mate, Mr. Case stressed the importance of speedy trials and severity of punishment. “You’re not going to get it with the liberal permissives,” he warned, citing opponent Mary Anr Krupsak’s support for abortion and her opposition to New York’s “tough” new drug law. A democratic victory on election day would let loose the same “democratic wrecking crew which ha; Albany in destroyed New YOrk City,” Mr. Caso added. Human Needs Forum: the need to reorder fiscal priorities by David Haitkin Staff Writer Spectrum A political forum entitled “Human Needs: A National Priority” brought local congressional candidates together Saturday to discuss their stances on reordering federal spending from defense to human services. Congressional opponents Jack Kemp and Barbara Wicks from the 38th Congressional District, Joseph Bala, Henry Nowak and Ira Liebowitz from the 37th and John LaFalce from the 36th, discussed the national health insurance, guaranteed national incomes and defense budget cuts. Twenty-seven local community organizations, including CAC, the Civil Liberties Union and the Western New York Peace Center sponsored the event. Barbara Jean Williams, executive director of the Coalition for Human Needs and Budget Priorities, and Edward King, executive director of the Coalition on National Priorities and Military Policy, provided background on what’s being done about budget priorities on a national scale. issues and questions Participants from the various organizations then broke up into workshops where issues were discussed and questions were prepared for the candidates. Fighting inflation and restoring an “economy in which human needs can be met” should be the primary focus of governmental responsibility. Congressman Kemp said. He explained that he could not support anything more than a “catastrophic” health insurance plan, and did not favor a program similar to that of Great Britain. As far as a solution to the nation’s poverty program is concerned, he said, a guaranteed national income was “not one of ’em.” Mr. Nowak said he “more than supports” the comprehensive program for national health insurance embodied by the Kennedy-Griffiths bill. He also supported the establishment of some kind of super-anti-poverty agency independent of the HEW “to combat the beauracracy” of the agencies now supervising the poverty programs. —continued on page 9— Contenders for the three local Congressional seats spoke last Saturday at the Conference on Human Needs held in the Student Union of Canisius College, The topics included reordering federal budget priorities to emphasize human services and th feasibility of national health insurance.

( ( ,,,, , ,. , Freeze of Athletic Limited contributions policy budget threatened Barbara Keating trails far behind. Mr. Clark recently criticized Sen. Javits for accepting a $15,000 contribution from vice-president-designate Nelson Rockefeller. He has been hampered by his own restrictive contributions policy, which has made it difficult for him to use television extensively. While refusing to use 30-second commercials, because he feels it would be like selling soap, Mr. Clark has approved three five-minute advertisements that focus on crime, integrity in government, and inflation. They will be televised if finances permit. Tireless campaign Mr. Clark, a native of Texas, has campaigned tirelessly throughout the State. His campaign organization is composed largely of former Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern supporters. In seeking the Democratic nomination, he shunned the traditional party route. At the State Democratic convention in June, he was nominated by ex-New York policeman Frank Serpico (who Mr. Clark represented before the Knapp Commission), program that would utilize solar and fusion sources in order to find safe, clean, inexhaustible, and inexpensive energy. He has promised to fight the “oil cartel” if elected. Mr. Clark favors the creation of a Middle East economic community and development authority to attack the problems of transportation, health, water development and hunger, which both the Arab nations and Israel must deal with. General treasury fund Highly critical of the inadequacies of the Social Security System, Mr. Clark proposes that, eventually, at least one third of all Social Security funds come from the general fund of the U.S. Treasury, instead of from the regressive Social Security tax now used. He also supports a revision of the Social Security benefit formula to provide additional pension credits to working wives and low-income working couples. The former Attorney General has also emphasized the need for mass transit facilities. He attributes America’s “second-rate” status in mass transit to the fact that “national transportation policy is controlled largely by those who profit from motor vehicle, oil, and gasoline sales. “Production of public transport equipment is controlled by those least interested in its development,” like General Motors, Mr. Clark maintains. He has called for antitrust action against GM and the dismantling of the Highway Trust Fund. and by a former Attica inmate.

Following eight years at the Department of must be given to the most severely pressed Justice, where he became a target of much of unemployed groups, such as youths, rural whites, Richard Nixon’s “law and order” rhetoric, Mr. Clark and blacks, he contends. Mr. Clark has stressed that the defense budget is practiced law and was involved in various peace and civil liberties organizations. He represented Father wasteful and consumes “much of our own Philip Berrigan in the Harrisburg trial, and has sought productivity, causes much of our inflation, often protection for political prisoners throughout the risks war, threatens our own safety, appeals to world.

Unauthorized cut While the Athletic Department does not appear to have overspent in any particular budget category, Mr. Jackalone reported that there had been a $13,000 cut in the $57,500 alloted to Intramurais and Recreation. This unauthorized slash was made by the Athletic Department to help cover part of the $18,000 they owe in past debts. Because SA considers Intramural and Recreation its foremost priority in Athletic funding, a new set of contractural service lines will be drawn up, stating specifically that the Intramural and Recreation budget remain fully intact at $57,500. In addition, past debts and unexpected income will have to be paid for out of the men and women’s athletic and general administrative budgets. However, if the Athletic Department continues to ignore these service lines, the Executive Committee indicated it will vote to freeze all spending involving men’s, women’s, and intercollegiate sports, with the exception of Intramurais and Recreation and Club Sports. Should the Student Assembly approve such a resolution, the freeze could be imposed early next month. book store 3102 Main St. Literature, Crafts, Poetry, Ecology, Cooking, Film, Fiction and more.

Conservative Party Candidate In an effort to pressure the Athletic Department to abide by stricter budgetary guidelines, the Student Association (SA) Executive Committee unanimously passed a resolution Monday to freeze the Athletic budget if corrective action is not taken within the next two weeks. This action comes only days after it was revealed that the soccer team had purchased post-game meals for its players on thiee separate occasions.

Legal action Mr. McCants declined comment on any aspect of the situation, after previously denying all charges. Mr. Patton could not be reached for comment. An IRC spokesman contended that certain irregularities were discovered after the concert had taken place. Although only 202 tickets were sold, approximately 1000 people filled Clark Hall the night of the concert, the source said. IRC had planned on selling 2000 tickets for the concert, a figure that was agreed upon by Leigh Weber, IRC President; Jim Smith, vice president for Activities, and Mr. Patton and Mr. McCants. *o that IRC posable charges be postponed pending return of the $500 within a specified period of time.

Of the 2000 tickets, the source explained, 1700 were slated for the Norton Ticket Office for general sale and the remaining 300 were to be sold at the IRC office in Goodyear Hall.

NEW YORK 14622 �Claim attitudes toward Arabs must unprove Voodoo Medicine man:6yr. course by Margaret Dickie Spectrum Staff Writer "It is no longer possible for the United States to look down on its relations with the Arab States because of its dependence on Arab oil,” said the Rev. Joseph L. Ryan, speaking Friday on “Conflicts in the Holy Land” in an appearance sponsored by the Arab Student Club. Father Ryan, a former dean of a Catholic university in Lebanon, has written extensively on the issues in the Middle East and has appeared before a Senate sub-committee that conducted hearings on the question of sacred religious sites in the region. Speaking before about 50 persons, most of whom appeared sympathetic to the Arab cause, Father Ryan divided his lecture into four parts: Change in U.S. politics; ‘The question of the Palestinians;’ ‘The problems of anti-semitism;’ and ‘The U.S. media.’ Tanzanians rely on the traditional healer or medicine man more often than the Western Myths destroyed Believing it is essential for the U.S. to move toward closer relations with the Arab world, Father Ryan said, “The October War destroyed a great deal of myths regarding the relations of the U.S. with the mid-East countries. Before the last war the feelings of most Americans were that we should not get involved there.” But “since the war,” he pointed out, “most people have come to realize that oil from halfway around the world effects the lives of every citizen.” Consequently there has developed an awareness among most people that not only are we presently involved in the mid-East, but we will probably be involved there for a long time to come Father Ryan also stated, “The world financial crisis, the United States balance of payments problems, and the threat to our national security which arose during the past war when the U.S. put its troops on alert, has made U.S. policymakers aware that it is in the national interest to move toward closer and more friendly relations with the Arab world.” psychiatrist for psychotherapy problems, and psycljo-social according to Herbert Rappaport, of clinical professor psychology at Temple University. Dr. Rappaport, who spent two years in Tanzania, in Africa, discussed his experiences in dealing with medicine men and witch doctors at a recent Ridge Lea colloquim. At the time of his visit, there was a “climate of poor trust assistant business with the medicine men (which usually took place outdoors under a tree), friendly natives would often sit down and join in the discussion. The medicine men accepted this “talking by Steven Gaynor Spectrum Staff Writer scientific medicine and traditional healers,” with the government favoring the newer scientific methods.

Treatment procedures Using a slide presentation. Dr. Rappaport explained the procedures of diagnosis and treatment. The scenes he narrated took place near one of the common dried-mud huts, with doctors, Dr. Rappaport explained that witch doctors deal with witchcraft, and are usually despised because of the calamities they allegedly cause with their curse powers, while medicine men, on the other hand, are “benevolent, respected and mildly feared,” and characteristically “powerful and intense men.” the The U.S. had made a “historical and significant shift toward travel down that we and how far war,” October world since the Arab of path will depend upon the leadership of the U.S., the reactions Palestinian and the together, states to act Israel, the ability of the Arab leadership, the clergyman added. the Father Ryan felt that “the Zionist movement and involved a massive the Middle East establishment of a Jewish State in rights of injustice to Palestinians and the denial of their would rights Palestinian the restoration of if Asked self-determination. tell, will said, time “only destroy the Jewish state, Father Ryan she if situation to her way helping could a go long adding that “Israel would endorse the resolution just passed by the U.N. which recognized violated. that the Palestinians are a people with rights that have been of long was a tradition warned that there The Catholic priest anti-semitism in Western churches, and that “we Christians should always be aware of the possibility of a certain unconscious anti-semitic feeling surfacing.” He criticized, however, the tendency of “many Christians and some Jews to label a person anti-semitic simply if he takes a position which is not favorable to Israel.” Describing the U.S. news media as extremely biased towards Israel, Father Ryan said the most basic reason for the “one-sidedness” is a “difference in culture. While half of the Jews in Israel are not Western, Israeli society is Western. The difference between Arab society and Western society has resulted in an imbalanced coverage of the October War.” This Thursday Special "Drink of the Day" THE TIFFIN ROOfTl SCOTCH WATER a spiritual nature those due to sorcery were “split about fifty-fifty,” Dr. Rappaport said.

The Spectrum . Page five �( Editorial Whose money?. The Athletic Department's long-standing practice of paying mere lip service to student preferences regarding athletics may soon come to an abrupt halt, thanks to some responsible action by the Student Association (SA) Executive Cmittee. By unanimously passing a resolution to freeze the intercollegiate budget if the Athletic Department does not adhere to the budget lines set by SA last summer, the student government has made it clear that it will no longer allow the athletic budget to be tossed around like a political football. Typical of Athletic director Harry Fritz's disregard for the general student body is the fact that $13,000 worth of funds have been siphoned away from intramurals and recreation, which benefit all students, and used to pay past debts and supplement the rest of the budget, which includes intercollegiate athletics. Considering the controversy which surrounded the funding of intercollegiate athletics at last year's Student Assembly budget hearings, the Athletic Department's claim that it was given only a lump sum figure to work with instead of a precise, line-by-line budget just won't wash. Several memorandums sent by SA to the Athletic Department over the summer show that the Athletic Department had to have been aware that funds for athletics were earmarked line-by-line for men's and women's varsity teams, intramurals and recreation, and club sports. 'WHERE NOW, JUDOEr My apologies to all those inconvienced by my confusion last week. Monday being a holiday, and the deadline for Wednesday’s The Spectrum , I incorrectly assumed that there would be no paper. I was wrong, obviously. Which mebns that someone probably had to hustle around and find something to put in the hole usually occupied by this mess. Arguments that there is a hole in the specified paper regardless of whether or not I remember to write something will be seriously before being vehemently rejected. seems to have arrived. It took a substantial amount of wacking to break the ice on the birdbath over the weekend. Not to mention the incredible clotch of leaves covering the front lawn. Which certainly bespeaks some kind of seasonal occurance. There was hope to go out to Letch worth for a picnic this last weekend the high on Sunday was 37 degrees, in case you wondered. So Indian summer seems considered . . . Winter ... SA treasurer Sal Napoli, in a memo dated June 5, informed the Athletic Department that "the Executive Committee has affected changes in contractual service lines for the budget." Two months later, Mr. Napoli again wrote to the Athletic Department, stating, "I am sure you have in your possession a copy of the Athletic budget as passed by the Executive Committee of Student Association." Acting President Rich Hochman also corresponded with the department during August, and is on record as saying SA has "no choide but [to] insist that the budget appropriation for Intramurals and Recreation and Club Sports remains intact." The Athletic Department's claim that it did not receive a detailed budgetary breakdown from SA can be construed as an attempt to use ignorance as an excuse for taking control of the budgets. Dr. Fritz is clearly oblivious to the fact that students pay for athletics and should therefore be penny for penny the ones to decide how that money will be spent. The Athletic Department might feel it has "professional expertise" in the area of funding, but its seclusion in Clark Hall has prevented it fronrf'keeping in touch with student priorities. — — Unless Dr. Fritz and company realize that student money cannot be spent at the whim of their department, it will become even more difficult to justify allocating more than one quarter of student fees to intercollegiate sports.

We are talking about a very fragile phenomena, one that I frequently seem to get snapped at for mentioning. Spiritual hibernation perhaps? Labels are never close to what you are trying to describe, and anyway, I am trying to describe something from within my highly this being all idiosyncratic view of the world any author is ever able to do. Given, then, that 1 am talking about myself. It is perhaps a mild depression as yet unrecognized and defended against, which colors my view. But from this side of winter it looks like a long way to Spring. Every year I mutter and rail about holidays and the “season” in which fesitivity is sought after with suspicious ardor. It occurs to me now that all these parties, from Thanksgiving group dinners to awful cocktail parties may serve a double purpose at this time of year. There may be a paganistic huddling together, a need to be psychologically reminded that there are other people in the world. My ever curious head suddenly wonders about New Year’s Eve. It is liable to be the frenetic, depressive, desperate revel everywhere?

Or perhaps you have no feelings about your gas bill. (Hmmm, an interesting digression. Do you suppose that this subject matter could be making some of the partners in the cooperative venture known as my head anxious?) Anyway, I wonder what it is like to sit on a beach in Southern California on New Year’s Eve and watch a sunset. Might it not leave you in a different place than the crunch of snow - underfoot? I am, in part at least, a conflict freak. When engaged in something that tests me, I have a tendency to feel more alive. Winter can provide such times. Driving on snow is a fun thing if you can get into it as an exercise in precision control. So is putting on long underwear and floundering around in snow up to your butt. At the end of such endeavors, however, it is the classic stonewall problem. Somewhere at the end it feels very good to be able to stop beating on it with your head. Winter is like some of your relatives. There is no way to avoid them so you might as well make do the best way you can. As I look down the long sweep of days to winter, it is basically bleak for me. There are places of warmth and light and pleasure gleaming, like the pockets of coals which shine out at you from the bottom of a still warm fireplace. Overall, it seems clear that I want to curl up in a ball, and with a long fluffy tail cover my nose, and sleep until the vernal equinox, or some such. Ah, but that would not be practical and would not, in fact, get all the done that I am to have completed by Spring. (Now how much depression do you suppose that is good for?) All of which, for me, speaks of a tendency, not a finality. I am talking, for myself, of something 1 might do if not careful, of a propensity to hibernate which I need to watch for and which is in my control to moderate. Maybe some year I will dig me a wonderous fur-lined burrow and some other likeminded winter avoiders, and try semi-hibernating. My suspicion is that it will bore me. Anxiety is a restless taskmaster. Sleep warm. I have to go give the birds an extra ration of seed. Those poor bastards have to live in that awful stuff. Ech!

And in the civil rights battle the blacks produced a great prophet-leader, Martin Luther King. He had to go, too. Always there was a flaw at the center of things. Where did it start? From many causes, of course. One was from living in an unreal world. It was there in the belief that we were always victorious and always righteous. Over generations, a belief grew that Asiatics were a special mission of the United States, as historian Eric Goldman said, under the laws of history. Sen. Kenneth Wherry (R) of Nebraska put it prettily when he told a wildly cheering crowd in 1940, “With God’s help we will lift Shanghai up and up, ever up, until it is just like Kansas City.” Then suddenly we had to change our patronizing vision of Asiatiacs as little, deferential yellow men perpetually smiling, to treacherous, cruel Orientals making part of a meancing Communistic monolith. We had “lost” China; evidently we were betrayed. Joe McCarthy used that charge and Nixon, too. Historian Sam Morison wrote, “McCarthy himself collapsed, but the poisonous suspicion he injected into the body politic will take many years to leach out.” Exactly; hear young congressman Nixon describing the Acheson-Hiss relationship: “Traitors in the high councils of our own government hav made sure that the deck is stacked on the Soviet side of the diplomatic tables.” Respectables like Bob Taft and Gen. Eisenhower encouraged the rising Nixon to denounce “Dean Acheson’s College of Cowardly - Communist Containment.” Tell the public anything; they are children. Mark Twain looked at the period after the Civil War, the era of wealth and expansion, the era of Jay Gould and Jim Fisk and the scandals of Grant, and he came up with a name for it; it wasn’t real gold, he said; it was The Gilded Age. What are we going to call this one? It was so good in so many ways! We saw social improvements and a lift in living standards, and an awakening of conscience about environment and our incredible waste: six percent of world population using a third of its energy. There were the magnificent moments landing on the Moon! Yet at the same time, we could not impose our will on Congress to reform the tax system. Always the surface that might have shone so brightly never seemed to. It was tarnished. In our embarrassment and malaise we couldn’t face things squarely; we had to smudge things. There was the elaborate falsification of the bombing runs in Cambodia, we smudged that; and the CIA in Chile, we smudged that; and the lies former attorney general Richard KJeindienst told the grand jury, we smudged that; and the knavery of the Vice President, we smudged that good. The man LBJ wanted as chief justice left under the cloud of an indiscretion; the men Nixon wanted on the high court, what’s-his-name and you-know-who they were dropped. And then Nixon quit and Jerry fixed it with the best smudge of all: the pardon smudge. Mark Twain knew the trick: you can pillory with a name.

Ms. Wicks said that she supported the Kennedy-Griffith’s Health Care Bill and explained that money for such coverage could be taken from the military budgets. “Ive had enough” of such actions like the U.S. Involvement in Chile,” she said, claiming that $14,9 billion could be cut from the defense budget “without any loss in security.” “The number one human need flatly rejected proposals — people like Allen Greenspan, “a disciple of Ayn Rand,” should be removed from positions of responsibility.

Conference furthers sports Contributing Editor In a move designed to save money and re-create local interest in college sports, four major Western New York schools (Buffalo, Canisius, Niagara, and Buffalo State) have announced a press conference for October 31 to introduce a new athletic conference. The schools will compete in eight sports for championships (soccer, cross-country, track, golf, tennis, swimming, baseball, and basketball), with league meets determining the majority of the champions. “1 think it’s a good idea. It should have been started long ago,” said Scott Salimando, SA vice-president. “This should start a new priority in athletics,” Salimando continued. “Instead of dropping schools one-by-one, as we have been, we come back to home base. can start all over again We can play local schools, and eventually build to a - broader level.” The general consensus among the four schools is that the conference will give greater meaning to the minor sports, the sports that exist strictly for the students’ participation. “This should add a little spice to our program,” reports Buffalo’s Harry Fritz. “It should give meaning to the scheduling we’ve already had,” Howie MacAdam, athletic director at Buffalo State and the elected ‘commissioner’ of the conference, looks toward equal competition among the schools in all eight sports. More than basketball “We hope desparately that it’s not basketball oriented,” related MacAdam. “Right now, basketball seems to be the poorest organized among the eight sports. We’re looking at it from an all around eight-sport basis. It’s going to give the local schools a chance to compete for championships.” The various athletic directors, while in agreement on the present set-up of the conference, have varying opinions as to its future. Deaniel Starr, athletic director at Canisius, is looking toward future expansion to include all the local schools. “A four team conference is a good beginning,” remarked Starr, “but it’s not enough in and of itself. I’d like to see a six or seven team league.” MacAdam sees it differently. We it think the four are natural,” reports MacAdam. “If it it generate, hope will the interest we develops could possibly expand to include St. Bonaventure though, and a few others. At the presentconcept.” we’re pretty well set with the four school expansion but by Dave Hnath Frank Layden, Niagara’s basketball coach and athletic director, shares Starr’s viewpoint on St. Bona in or out? St. Bonaventure, originally slated to be a member of the infant conference, is conspicuous in its absence from the set-up. “He (Larry Weise, St. Bonaventure’s athletic director) felt they shouldn’t - participate at the time, in a league arrangement,” reports Starr. There is also speculation that St. Bonaventure’s admittance to the conference was conditional to their axranging to play both Buffalo and Buffalo State in basketball, something they’ve been reluctant to do. Layden feels that a conference of this nature could re-create some of the local interest in college sports lost in the professional sport shuffle. “You look at other areas of the country,” observed the Niagara court mentor, “and you see college sports are still going strong. Good examples of this are in' the Southwest and Atlantic Coast conferences. We’re too professional-oriented here, and we’ve got to do something to stimulate local interest.” Media considered “You look in the local newspapers, even on days when the Braves or Sabres don’t play, and you'see other scores and standings reported anyway,” remarked Starr. “A league set-up is almost a natural for the media. 1 would hope it would be highlighted by the media, as well as the students.” One possible avenue of local media recognition has already been undertaken, as the Buffalo Evening News has offered a trophy for the best intra-conference record in basketball, soccer, baseball, and swimming, as well as an all-around sports championship. Though at the present women’s intercollegiate sports are not represented in the set-up, Layden said they would be represented eventually. “It would encourage immediate development of stronger women’s competition if they were granted participation in the conference,” he stated. At present, the women compete among one-another in both volleyball and basketball.

This takes time. Our 5-2-1 won-lost record is not indicative of how we’ve played. We’re better than that. Lately we’ve been clicking.” Buffalo has two more games to play in the regular season, against St. John Fisher and Geneseo. Esposito calls these games “crucial” more in terms of cementing team play than of the level of competition. The team will then go to Stony Brook to play in the SUNY Center Tournament, where the State Universities at Albany, Binghamton, Stony Brook and Buffalo will compete for the Chancellor’s Cup. Binghamton and Albany, both rated in the state’s top 10, are the early favorites. — Coed football: recreation fun, and a change of pace by David J. Rubin Staff Writer Spectrum “Beth’s Boobs” is not an advertisement for a brothel, nor is Jim Young, shown here during a soccer team practice session, has been scoring consistently all season. However, Young's four goal effort against the Niagara Purple Eagles last week was outstanding, even for him. Jim added another Saturday against Canisius, his 23rd career tally, and easily captured Athlete of the Week honors.

Amherst (between Youngmann Expy. Page ten . & Maple Rd.) The Spectrum Wednesday, 23 October 1974 . it a rock group with dummies for guitar players. It is, in fact, one of the 11 entries in Buffalo’s coed intramural football league. The Boobs, who were tied for the first place in the 3:30 p.m. league, lost a heartbreaker, 6-0, on Friday to MG Production on an interception late in the second half. When the Boobs take the field each Friday, it is doubtful they remember the score of the previous Friday’s game, but they do recall that the hour they spent playing it was full of laughs and fun. Fun is the reason why most people join coed football. Jeff Groob of the Boobs reasoned, “1 played last year and had a lot of fun. I joined last year because I had a desire to do something different and to be with girls.” Kay LeVan, a member of the Boobs’ opponents, looked at it this way; “I wanted to do something besides study. It’s really fun.” California idea The success of the program, which is in its third year at Buffalo, has spurred other schools across the country to start similar coed football programs. Director of Recreation and Intramurals Bill Monkarsh got the idea from a California school at a convention for intramural directors. He figured the coed league would be good vehicle for getting the women involved in sports. The women responded well to the idea, and the league has been operating ever since. The nature of coed football results in a need for some special rules. The teams play six on a side, three men and three women. Since only one male-to-male pass play is permitted for each series of five downs, and no male may carry the ball across the line of scrimmage, there is a premium on having a competent female quarterback. In addition, men and women may not block each other. Practicality dictates, though, that referees not call this infraction too often despite the presence of a “Roman palms” on fingers some and Russian of the more forward males. “The program is designed more for the girls’ participation,” said Ken Fiorella, coed intramural football coordinator. “There are teams,” he added. The league has been beset by a fairly high incidence of forfeits due to undermanned (underwomanned?) squads, but is attributable to “three plus three” together, however, a makeshift choose-up game ensues can’t Girls must know some really competitive this unseasonably bad weather and the fact that the league meets on Fridays. Even when one team scrape people and nobody really cares. “They want to play football,” said Fiorella. “They are friends to begin with, and they get an early start on the weekends.” Jeff Groob had the last word. “The emphasis is on having fun,” he said, “and if you win, it’s even better.” Spikes Girls volleyball team remains undefeated by Joy Clark Spectrum Staff Writer “I was very pleased with their effort,” said volleyball Coach Cindy Anderson about her undefeated squad. Buffalo’s women’s volleyball team had just defeated Buffalo State and Binghamton in a tri-meet at Buffalo State last Friday. “They moved well and their spiking and hitting were very good,” Anderson said. Most prominent in this effort was junior co-captain Joanne Wroblewski, whose spiking and blocking led the Bulls over Binghamton 15-11 in the first game. Joanne’s strong net play was vital, since neither team could manage more than four points on any one service. In the second game Buffalo dominated play by scoring nine points on Anne Maloney’s serve, which ran the score from a close 5-3 to a comfortable 14-3. However, it took three services for Buffalo to rfail down the final point. Against crosstown rival Buffalo State, the Bulls won the first game 15-11 once more as Wroblewski’s net play remained exceptional. But this time she had a lot of help from the strong serves of co-captain Kathy Baginski and freshman Shelly Kulp. Dee fense, dee fense In the second Buffalo State contest, the Bengals gained an early 7-0 advantage. Then Buffalo’s defense tightened and held state scoreless for ten out of their last twelve serves. Marilyn Dellwardt added some offense to help Buffalo win the game 15-10. Anderson shuffled her lineup quite a bit, using all the players at least once. Only the co-captains, Wroblewski and Baginski, played in all four games. “I’m looking forward to a good season,” said the coach. “We have two trouble spots on the schedule, but they should be a couple of very good, very tough games.” Though she declined to name the two adversary’s she feared most, it can be assumed that one is powerful Brockport State. �special.

The College’s representatives told the College Chartering Committee that it was trying to of the kind provide humanities interdisciplinary program not offered by any branch of the University. The ease with which its courses have been cross-listed with the departments was not a sign of non-distinctiveness, they maintained, and Vico could succeed only if it remained a residential college. Although student participation in the planning of the college’s curriculum was inappropriate, parody between students and faculty in governing the college was assured in the charter, the spokesmen pointed out. Asked by DUE Dean Charles Ebert about the role of students in shaping their program, Vico member and Faculty-Senate chairman George Hochfield replied: “It’s clear Vico has been a faculty initiative. We also assume that we have a certain authority.” The kind of program Vico has cannot be planned by a 19-year-old, Dr. Hochfield said. “Your question is premature and reflects a philosophy of education that I doubt you believe in,” the Fac-Sen Chairman told Dr. Ebert. to Managing Editor Vico College is an alternative to the routine departmental structures that dominate academic life at this university, but it is also an alternative to the free-flowing, student-oriented plan of study which many of the other colleges present. Vico is a traditionalist college devoted to the interdisciplinary study of the great writings and thought of western civilization by way of a curriculum drawn up and controlled by its faculty members. Its plan of study fills the void between serious scholarship and depersonalized routine, setting itself off from the departments as well as the other colleges within the system. But Vico also supplements the departments, tying together many of the loose ends and incongruities of a university that has sub- divided study into mechanical disciplines which encourage a narrow plan of study that rarely stimulates the intellect. By crosslisting courses and utilizing a residential approach to education which emphasizes personal interaction and counseling, Vico has striven for the best of both worlds. Last week’s hearings demonstrated the inability of the Chartering Committee to understand the distinction between Vico’s traditional stance and the more radical approach of the other colleges. But it also showed the distance that Vico has put between itself and the rest of the collegiate system. Misapplications The committee’s questions and assumptions reflected poorly upon their own ability to judge the merit of an alternative approach to education. They were concerned over the lack of community involvement in the college, the minimal student input in decision-making, the lack of a scientist on the faculty of a college devoted to the study of the humanities and the prospect that Vico was merely an “intellectual hobby” for its individual members. Community involvement in other colleges has been criticized, and the Reichart Prospectus stipulates that the colleges will have to employ more faculty if they are to be chartered. The merit of community involvement in a discipline that stresses the study of thought rather than its application is questionable. The connotation of Vico as an “intellectual hobby” for its faculty is that they are merely dilletantes whiling away their spare time, toying with their students and using the college as a chage of pace from their own studies. Those charges would be much more applicable to certain members of the academic departments and appear rather foolish in light of the time and effort the Vico fellows have put into counseling and intellectual guidance for their students. Student input Student input into the course of study exists insofar as students can decide whether to Join the college and sign up for specific courses; the course outlines and statements of purpose are clear enough. How valid a course of study could students not yet familiar with the subject matter establish? Vico offers a curriculum which the student can chose or reject, avoiding the lip service tribute to student particpation that seems to be universally accepted here. The question of the need for a scientist on the faculty moves even further away from an examination of Vico’s role within the university. Anyone who took the time to read their introduction in the College Catalogue or review their proposed charter should be aware that that question has no bearing on the college’s validity. The committee took the contradictory approach of criticizing thellack of certain features in Vico, after previously questioning their presence in the other colleges. This apparent confusion demonstrates the committees dubious ability to pass judgement on the merits of the approach that each individual college has set up. Academic standards Vico’ is by far the most academically legitimate of the colleges. Few would question the capabilities of its faculty (which reads like a Who’s Who in the Humanities). The questions and slights of some members of the Chartering Committee only obfuscated the core issue of academic quality —continued on oaae ?— “There has been no faculty advisement at this University for a long time,” explained Elizabeth Perry, professor of History, and prospective Vico director. “Students may have spent years here without speaking to a faculty member,” she added, emphasizing that advisement would be one of Vico’s most worthwhile features. Vico College also defended its residential program, stressing that it facilitated a continuing intellectual atmosphere and provided opportunities for contact among students outside of the classroom. Out of fifty students who requested Vico housing in the Ellicott complex this year, impression is that you have a great books program, a floating craps game. Is Vico College more than this,” one committee member queried. Michele Ricciardelli, professor of Italian, claimed the College was concerned with a lot more than great books. “We are teaching our students about great ideas, not books. We are teaching them new ideas and ways of thinking. Books are only one medium for doing so,” Dr. Ricciardelli said. According to its charter, Vico College “is devoted to the rediscovery, reformulation, and ongoing practice of ‘liberal arts education.’ It seeks to promote of the the critical exploration ... ‘An epithet’ One Vico student cited the have in difficulty freshmen themselves to the orienting University, and indicated his preference for a faculty-led curriculum. John Greenwood, a committee member representing graduate students, said from what he had heard, Vico College was designed as an intellectual hobby to fulfill the needs of the faculty. His observations, he stated, stemmed partly from his own psychological analysis of the language of the Vico charter. “You say that students are not involved in the direction of the College because they are not competent to do so. Is the College designed only for the satisfaction of faculty needs?” Mr. Greenwood asked the Vico delegation. However, other Vico faculty stressed that the College was not a self-indulgent faculty hobby, but merely an attempt to overcome what they feel is a deficiency in University academics. A system of faculty advisement, scheduled to begin next semester, would give students the opportunity for one-to-one contact with anyone of the Vico College faculty, they asserted. fundamental intellectual and moral problems in the civilization of which both we and our students are members.” Vico uses a system of Core which combines a lecture courses departments.

Esposito City Editor A bill which would reduce air fares for young people, senior citizens, and the handicapped is tied up in a subcommittee of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. The legislation (S.2651) has been awaiting hearings in the Subcommittee on Transportation and Aeronautics since January 1974. Reduced fares on a standby basis for people under 22, over 65, or handicapped would be reinstated if the National Student Lobby (NSL) endorsed bill is enacted. A Civil Aeronautics Board ruling ended discount fares on June 1, on the basis that they were “unjustly discriminatory.” The House proposal would overturn that decision and allow the discount on flights with available space. $100 million savings The NSL is pushing to have the subcommittee schedule hearings, and is. trying to generate student support on a grassroots level, said Bob Pickett, NSL Legislative Director. He urged concerned citizens to write their Congressmen in support of the bill. While Subcommittee Chairman John Jarman (D-Okla.) officially promised to hold hearings, nothing has happened, Mr. Pickett explained. The NSL asserts that the discount fare bill could save students a total of $100 million a year, and would affect more tlj§n 1.6 million students who travel 500 miles or more between their homes and schools, as US Education Office statistics indicate.

The NSL has also called for the passage of bill S.1739, which would expand opportunities for group charter travel on US airlines and save individual students more than half the current air fare. The bill, delayed by the hearings on the Rockefeller nomination, covers trips with a minimum of three stops and a seven-day duration. Harp recital . —continued from . page . 1 — No committe should be in the position of questioning the legitimacy of a specific approach to alternative education. If there was any one group of educators that held the answer, the university would not now be functioning without direction and academic leadership. The committee should concern itself with the educational benefits accrued by the individual approaches. The ability of a Vico College student to comprehend and appreciate the writings of St .Augustine or Hegel, not the approach to the subject matter, should be the basis on which any judgement of the college’s merit is made. Suzanne Thomas, solo harpist of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and instructor in the Department of Music, will offer a recital on Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 8 p.m. in Baird Recital Hall. Ms. Thomas will be joined for this concert by colleagues Susannah Aylward, flute; Ansgarius Aylward, violin; Mary Sue Wells, cello; Suze Leal, voice, and Diane Williams, viola, in works of Telemann, Saint-Saens, de Falla, Spohr, Lou Harrison and Albert Roussel. Tickets are $.50 for students; $1 for faculty, staff and alumni and $1,50 for the general public, and may be obtained through the Norton Hall Ticket Office. Any remaining tickets will be available at the door one hour before the event.

Somit declines SIU presidential position Executive vice-president Albert Somit has rejected the Presidency of Southern Illinois University (SIU) in Carbondae, apparently because of a salary dispute. SIU, unaware of a misunderstanding over the salary issue, announced Thursday that Dr. Somit would be the next President of the 18,500 student state campus. A reporter for the Southern Illinoian, the campus newspaper, said a member of the Board of Trustees told him the question was what Dr. Somit’s salary would be if he stepped down from or lost the Presidency. Both Dr. Somit and the Trustees agreed on a percentage of his salary as President. After SIU released its announcement, Dr. Somit carefully re-read the contract and found the salary percentage in it was not what he thought it to be. Apparently, he could not get the Trustees to agree to his proposed figure. ‘Misunderstanding’ In a formal statement released Friday, Dr. Somit said he was “honored” to have been chosen for The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

And they’re not alone. Other publishers have joined the battle. According to studies on sex-role stereotyping in textbooks, plenty of editing is in order. Although 51 percent of the US population is female, the studies discovered men far outnumbering women in texts at all grade levels. Women who were represented were shown as servile, fearful, passive and dependent. In a study of 554 elementary readers, researcher Diane Graebner found a ratio of three boys to every two girls. She determined that 75 percent of all stories were about boys and that boys made up 67.5 percent of all illustrations. She found that girls were depicted as shallow and “mothers” invariably wore skirts even while camping or hiking down the Grand - last spring during a controversy over irregularities in the use of university liquor funds.

When the Women on Words and Images (WWI) went through 134 readers from 14 publishers, they found boys outnumbering girls five to two as lead characters in stories.

Honey and peanut butter are stored in large vats, and customers buy what they wish in their own containers. The Lexington Co-op relies on other co-ops for many of its goods. Clear Eye of Rochester supplies grains, nuts, tea, and spices. The Maya Bakers on Greenfield Street supplies bread. Other goods are obtained from Kutters Cheese, Buffalo Nut, and The Clinton-Bailey Market. The Co-op isn’t strictly youth-oriented, Cathy said.

The Teachers Resource Center, a meeting place where teachers, parents and students utilize learning materials donated by the community, is being set up to coordinate alternative education institutions in the Buffalo area. Located at 311 Ontario Street, in the Black Rock section of Buffalo, the Center is expected to open at the end of November, when invitations will be sent to public school teachers, parents, State University at Buffalo faculty, city hall administrators, and other community members involved in education. Workshops will be planned so that these guests can get to know how the resource center will work. The center will actually be run by the Alternative Education Coalition, which was established in 1969 to meet the demands for free schools in Buffalo. Most of the funding will come from the Community Action Corps, since three large corporations recently turned down requests for money. The concept originated from a similar teaching resource center in San Francisco, which has been in operation for three years. The ideas were brought to the Buffalo center by Jane Siegel, of the Evaluation Research Center, and Lesline Medine, founder of the Alternative Education Committee, among others. The center’s existence was made possible by the Hope Organization, which donated room space to the center. Several churches in the area have also University. offered space. In addition to providing instructional resources, the center will also be compiling a “learning directory” for Buffalo, which will include places of interest that can be used as instructional aids. For instance, if a teacher wants to teach her students about legal systems, she may look up this topic in the “Yellow Pages of Learning,” which will list places like the Attica trials court room and the Legal Aid Office. The center will also conduct workshops “to coordinate materials for child development,” according to Ms. Medine. She added that the center will have no governing body, so that teachers can have a direct input. Neighbors help from Ms. Van The Lexington Co-op also benefits Every’s bookstore.

The idea originated in Mr. Glennon’s office and was later approved by Executive vice president Albert Somit. A desire to ease their work load played a major part in the decision to implement the taping procedure, Mr. Glennon indicated. “A lot of cases have come up where we’ve had to go through a lot of manual labor,” he said, “A call might come in, and there was a dispute as to what was said, or a time element.” Tested during summer The taping policy, already in effect at Buffalo State and the State University at Stony Brook, was tested during the latter part of July and early August. “It provided what we wanted reduction of work load, accuracy of recordings, and access to records,” Mr. Glennon said. During the test period, callers were not advised that their conversations were being taped, but in the future, callers will be so notified in advance, he promised. Mr. Glennon scoffed at the possibility of a substantial reduction in the number of callers with the new procedure. “I don’t see why it should scare away anybody,” he said. “The only people it might scare away are people calling in false alarms and bomb threats. It is a consideration.” Dr. Somit revealed that the plan, which is within the law (conversations may be taped with the consent of one party), was subject to careful consideration on ethical and other grounds. “Our basic concern is to provide better service,” Dr. Somit said, adding that a taping system is a standard device to log incoming calls. — reative Learning Project Feature Editor The Creative Learning Project (CLP) was established by Community ACtion Corps (CAC) in 1972 to supplement the learning process in the public school systems with tutorial assistance on a one-to-one basis. The project was set up in response to Department of Health Education and Welfare statistics that showed that 42 percent of those American school children now in the fifth grade will not graduate from high school. In Buffalo, half of all high school graduates have a sub-sixth grade reading level. The tutors are given a comprehensive training program which teaches them how to use modern and effective techniques in working with children. They then meet in weekly seminars to continue their own learning process while teaching. The training program the only one of its kind shows tutors how to use in New York State reading materials, comic books, phonetics and workbooks in their- classes. The idea behind these materials, according to CAC Director David Chavis, is to make the child an active part of the learning — — ihe children's self-confidence, according to Mr. Chavis. “One of the debilitating effects of the public school system is that the child is told he can’t succeed," he said. The Creative Learning Project attempts to remedy the situation by treating the child as a total human being. Individual counseling One of the major complaints aimed against alternative education is that its loose structure does not teach the child to deal with the more structured world. To make sure this does not happen, the Creative Learning Project offers individual counseling to all the children, to help them cope with the public education system and to encourage discussion of their feelings toward the public schools. The program is divided into two parts. The first deals strictly with the tutorial, the second with recreation and liesure activity. Mr. Chavis believes that all children are educable. While many children in the center had been labeled as retarded, he has noted “sharp senses of humor” in many of them, and maintains that they can succeed “without limitations.” situation. “There is no such thing as Dick and Jane,” Mr. Chavis said. The CLP introduces the children to words in their common usage, making both teaching and learning an enjoyable experience. The usage of slang, for example, is condoned, since it does not interfere with phonetics. Commercial vitamins to be relabelled drugs WASHINGTON, D.C. (LNS) Eighty percent of the vitamins now available will be reclassified as “drugs” and become obtainable only through a prescription, starting January 1, 1975. This new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation has been temporarily delayed until that date so that Congress can hear debate on changing the law. Many leading nutritional experts, including Linus Pauling, who is known for his research on vitamin C, feel that the FDA prohibitions are a severe setback for nutritional science. For example, under the FDA regulation, vitamin C with a potency of more than 45 milligrams () 50 percent of the recommended daily allowance) cannot be sold without a prescription. Anything above that is classified as a drug, even though four ounces of orange juice supplies fifty - commercially milligrams.

The recommended daily allowance is that amount of a vitamin or mineral that prevents a person from developing a deficiency disease, such as scurvy in the case of vitamin C. Pills Dr. Pauling’s research concludes that large quantities of vitamin C can, to a large degree, prevent the common cold. He recommends at least one thousand milligrams of vitamin C a day when a cold is likely 22 - times more than the recommended daily allowance. When the new regulation goes into effect, a person who wanted to follow Pauling’s directions would have to see a doctor and get a prescription or take 22 pills a day. Opposition to the FDA law in the Senate is being led by Senator William Proxmire (D., Wise.) who has noted that easily accessible vitamins are needed to make up for the lack of nutrition in many of our foods. The FDA, however, has refused to open up research on the subject of the nutritional value of the available manufactured foods. In their booklet entitled Nutritional Quackery the FDA insists in part, “the truth is that the American food supply is unsurpassed in the world for both quantity and nutritional value our farming and food processing industries have provided the American people with an ever-increasing variety of wholesome and nutritious foods.” — Fertilizers But according to many nutritionists, a large variety of food in the supermarkets, most of the ready-made breads, cereals, soups, dinners, lunch meats, etc. are less than “wholesome and nutritious.” Processed foods contain chemical fertilizers, chemical additives and preservatives and often have been cooked in ways that destroy much of their nutritional value. National Food Supply, a 1966 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) publication, stated that 44 percent of the average daily caloric intake by Americans was fat which is almost devoid of any vitamin or mineral content. Fifty percent or more of this consumption is in the form of white flour and white sugar, which is highly deficient in nutrients due to the refining process. Less than 10 percent of the average calories consumed are vegatables, meat, fish, eggs or dairy products, which should supply close to 100 percent of our daily essential nutrients. In 1968, the USDA announced that only 50 percent of American families had a “good” diet, 30 percent rated fair and 20 percent rated poor. This showed a decline in the nutritional value of American dietary habits compared to a 1955 survey made by the department. Scandals The Food and Nutrition Board, which determines the recommended allowance of vitamins and minerals is, according to Mr. Proxmire "influenced, dominated and financed by the food industry. It represents one of the most scandalous conflicts of interest in the federal government.” At the 1969 White House Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health, which made proposals for nutritional education, the chairman. W.W. Murphy, was also chairman of the Campbell’s Soup Company. Proxmire also noted that “with low recommended daily allowances, the food companies which advise the Food and Nutrition Board can print tables on their food packages making their products appear to contain a higher level of nutrients than if higher or optimum levels were daily established.” “The FDA and much, though not all, of the orthodox medical profession . are out to get the health food industry and to drive the health food stores out of business,” he added. . Monday, 21 October 1974 . The Spectrum . Page five �Edl Executive accountability Gerald Ford's decision to appear before a House Judiciary subcommittee was a refreshing exercise in candor for an American President, but his actual testimony failed to clear up any of the doubts that have arisen over his pardon of Richard Nixon. Most of the subcommittee, awed by the magnanimity of the President's gesture, was content to ask strikingly unaggressive questions, and Mr. Ford's answers were at best superficial and cosmetic. The validity of the pardon itself went unquestioned, although numberous legal scholars are convinced that it violated both the letter and spirit of the Constitution, which deliberately removes a President's pardoning power "in cases of impeachment." Congresswoman Elisabeth Holtzman (D.,N.V.) was the only member of the subcommittee with the good sense to squarely challenge Mr. Ford. Keenly aware that the hearings did not offer sufficient time for a careful interrogation, she wisely chose to rattle off a barrage of Outside compelling questions. by Clem Colucci Why was Mr. Nixon pardoned without specifying his crimes or obtaining a confession of guilt, she asked Mr. Ford. Why were the deliberations conducted with such haste and secrecy? What was the connection between the pardon and the agreement giving Mr. Nixon control over access to his tape recordings? Why wasn't the Special Prosecutor or Attorney General consulted? And why was a lawyer under criminal investigation used as an intermediary? But instead of shedding any light on these questions, the President merely rehashed the things he has been saying at press conferences and White House briefings. Ht reiterated that the pardon would place Watergate behind us and allow the country to move ahead with other, more pressing problems, even though his action has clearly intensified the nations's preoccupation with the scandals, raised doubts about Mr. Ford's own judgment and called attention to a double standard of justice. And when asked by the Brooklyn Congresswoman whether he would be willing to turn over to the Judiciary Committee the tapes of conversations between him and Mr. Nixon, to prove that the tapes agreement had not resulted from his desire to keep such conversations secret, the President gave a roundabout answer. Mr. Ford's failure to carefully explain why he did not consult any of the principals in the case while deliberating over the pardon was an act reminiscent of his predecessor's method of making decisions. Whatever good intentions he may have shown by appearing before the committee, it will take a lot more than cosmetic, watered-down testimony to lay suspicions about the pardon to rest. And after all that has happened, the repeated failure of Congress to rigorously question Executive power can only lead to a further deterioration of accountability in government. The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. ooking 26 The story so far: Marlowe Spade, private detective, was shanghaied in his office and flown to Washington where he was brought before President Ford. “OK, so you’re the President. What do you want?” I asked. “I need your professional services,” he replied “Why, snapped on isn’t Gordon Liddy out yet?” I “No, this isn’t that kind of work. It’s strictly the up-and-up. I want you to find my mandate.” “Huh?” When I took this job, “My mandate. everybody loved me. Now the polls have my approval rating down to 49 percent. What am I doing wrong?” “I’ll nose around. Do you have any leads? Who should 1 ask?” “Just ask the people,” he said. A few hours later, I was in a grocery store asking people what Gerald Ford was doing wrong. “I’m not sure,” said a housewife with a shopping cart full of canned tuna, noodles and other lower-priced foods, “He says, ‘Let’s do something about inflation’ and everybody in Congress claps. But that’s all there is to it. He doesn’t do anything, he just says it’s time to do something.” I thanked her and moved on to the frozen foods section where a man was playing with a hand calculator trying to learn whether \3Vi oz. of frozen perch at $2.89 were cheaper than 1 1V4 oz. of frozen halibut at $2.61. “Ford, he’s all right, I guess. Makes his own breakfast, sleeps with his wife. But hell, 1 do that too and that doesn’t mean 1 should be President. I’ve got a kid in college, Cornell. He wanted to go to Yale, got in too, but we couldn’t afford to lose the Regents scholarship. I had to remortgage the house to pay for it anyway.” “I didn’t think I’d learn any more in the supermarket, so I moved to a bar across the town.” “Maybe he’s a nice guy an’ maybe he ain’t,” In growled a burly, 40-ish man with a pitcher of Bud, “all 1 know is 1 used to work regular at the steel plant. I’d’a been a foreman in a few years, too. Now I’m outta work more often than not. He wants us to tighten our belts. Bullshit. Me an' my family been tightenin' our belts the last five-six years. 1 hear the plant manager’s got problems too, had to take a week less in Europe. I don’t mind that he’s makin' money earns it, I guess, but why doesn’t he have to pay for inflation? That’s what - bugs me.” He told me to check out a friend of his at the hospital who could give me more information. I thanked him and bought his friends a round before I left. In a semi-private room, a middle-aged insurance salesman was recovering from a heart attack. “One-twenty-five a day this costs,” he told me, “I try to save money, really I do, but something like this wipes you right out. I had a few grand in the bank and it’s almost gone. I'll do my part, I don’t mind, but somebody’s got to keep everything else in line. What good will it do me to watch my spending if the rates for health care go out of sight? 1 can’t fight inflation myself and neither can all the little people like me put together.” From there I went to the county prison. I spoke to a con 1 helped send up there last year. He didn’t hold it against me and talked freely-.“You know what bums me? The pardon, that’s what. Nixon’s suffered enough, Ford said. I’ll suffer on $60,000 a year any time you want. I’m not complaining about being here. I kited a few checks and got caught. I’m doing standard time for it. We don’t even know what Nixon did and that idiot in the White House pardoned him anyway. What the hell kind of justice is that?” It was all like that and 1 couldn’t make head or tail out of it. I flew back to the White House and told him what little I was able to find out. He thanked me, paid me and said I should drop in if I were ever in the neighborhood. On my way to the airport I got talking to the cabdriver. “You know what Ford’s problem is?” he said, “He’s nobody special anymore just President.” The fare was $6.50. I tipped him three bucks. — Monday, 21 October 1974 Editor-in-Chief — Larry Kraftowitz Stalking the shadow Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Managing Editor Michael O'Neill Gerry McKeen Advertising Manager — — — Campus City Composition Feature Ronnie Selk . . .

On Monday, October I4th, we were studying in the Ellicott Library. We were quite disturbed by a group of gentlemen (Dr. Ketter among them) who were sitting and conversing near us. The North Library' is not, to our knowledge, a conference room. Next time would someone inform the administration that this is a university and some people study in libraries, and when you invest so much money in them, they should be used for that specific purpose. Some of us take our education All students at this University should be deeply grieved at the theft situation in the University Bookstore. The estimated theft rate is in the vicinity of $60,000 worljh of merchandise per year. A careful analysis of Bookstore policy and a small amount of common sense reveals that no matter what losses the Bookstore reports, the manager, supervisors and employees receive no loss in salary. In fact, where mandated, employees receive annual salary increases. The losers, the persons who get hurt by Bookstore thefts, are typical students. As a non-profit operation, the Bookstore should be able to offer many items at less than competitive markups. However, to compensate their losses, we are often forced to pay exhorbitant prices. If Bookstore thieves cannot be deterred by appeals to their social consciousness; if they continue their larceny, realizing that they steal from their fellow students, not from the Bookstore; and if our society has euphemized the term “rip-off” so that seriously. Enid Vick Jody F. Burns Mindy A her Guest Opinion by representatives of The Day Care Center We believe in low cost, parent-controlled quality day care. Availability of these services is a right of all parents who want to attend school and/or work. Who’s responsibility is it? We feel the responsibility of providing needed services for people on this campus falls under the administration budget. As part of the program of Affirmative Action, which purports to encourage women and minority groups to attend school and/or work, the state must provide day care services, so that an important segment of this population can be part of the University community. The University Administration can and should provide the services that meet the needs of the vast majority, rather than set priorities that serve the interest of a few. Corporations benefit most from the way our University is organized. Education is geared both towards providing future managerial and technical employees, at no cost to the major corporations and toward spreading the ideology, that what’s good for the major corporations is good for the rest of the society. The Administration budget must reflect the wishes of the people. Why low cost? The parents who use our center are primarily single women, minority members, and working class families, people in this society whose income makes it impossible to afford the $30-40 a week that private centers charge. To insure that women, minority members and working class families can attend school and/or work, low cost day care must be provided. Can we turn any place else for funds It is not the responsibility of the 1) Sub Board, SA or GSA student organizations to provide day care on this campus. To ask the student body for funds will detract from the quality and quantity of other student organizations. 2) The county? Erie County Social Services tells us students are poor by choice, therefore they won’t fund on-campus day care. The Social Service department pays for day care only to welfare recipients in approved educational programs. Students who attend four-year universities are not eligible to receive funding for day care. 3) The federal government? Federal financial assistance cannot be provided without matching county funds. 4) Outside foundations? There are no funds available. We want funds that are ongoing. Most foundation grants are for one year only, and will not offer financial assistance year after year. What will the money go for? Parents at our center are paying fees that amount to 10-20 percent of their earnings. This sum amounts to approximately $19,500 a year. In order to have full-time quality staff with suitable working conditions and adequate wages and benefits, our teaching staff budget amounts to $48,180 a year. This includes — I) 6 full-time staff* required benefits (15%) staff replacements for sick and vacation days required benefits for staff replacements *as required by state law $720 a week 108 86 $37,440 a yr petty thefts from faceless entities, such as the Bookstore, have become socially acceptable, then students should demand that the Bookstore take action against these petty criminals. Well, such action has already been taken. In the past week, security guards have apprehended nine students in the Bookstore for thefts that amount to several hundred dollars. These students are awaiting prosecution before the Student-Wide Judiciary and all future first-time offenders will be handled in similar fashion. As a general appeal to the student body, let’s take the first step in lowering prices in our bookstore. That $60,000 does not belong to a handful of selfish thieves. It' rightfully belongs to all students who purchase from the Bookstore in the form of lower prices. When someone tells you he ripped-off the Bookstore, let him know who he’s really ripping off his own friends! Hilary Lowell Student Rights Coordinator Student Association Screwing up the works To the Editor. As an officer of Student Association, I am personally appalled by the Athletic crisis the GSA Senate has created by its inaction. Namely: Because of the GSA Senate’s refusal to pass a bill designating $3000 for graduate student use of gym facilities, all graduate students will be denied any participation in U.B. athletics unless they cough it up out of their own pockets! Not only is this irrational policy unfair to those grad students using the gym, but it is also unfair to the other student governments who were counting on GSA’s cooperation in formulating a unified policy on athletics. As a result of this policy, money will now have to be used to pay officials to check all students using the gym. This situation is not only inconvenient, but unfortunate. At a time when money is tight, the other student governments must divert some of their money from athletic programs to keep out graduate students. This is bullshit! Nobody wants this except, maybe, the GSA Senate. Today, when unity among the student governments is a must, the GSA Senate is literally “screwing up the works.” The smart thing for them to is to get do if they are an equitable body themselves together and pass the money necessary to avert this crisis. I hope they’ll be able to do this before graduate students come knocking on their door. — - - Scott J. Salimando Executive V.P. ofSA Free Cuba To the Editor I recently was given a copy of your newspaper, dated October 2, 1974, in which appeared an article on Cuba and the wonderful success Socialism is having there. I am presently here in Buffalo for my last year of preparation before being considered for ordination the Consolata Fathers. Prior to my coming here, 1 was the editor and publisher of La Nacion Americana. the largest Spanish-language newspaper (Catholic) in the country. I happen to be Cuban, having been born in Havana Cuba. Since my arrival in the United States, I have confronted and debated many times the students that have gone to Cuba, the propagandist Marxists and others who try to sell Cuba today to the American students and people. I can honestly say that what you printed in your newspaper was just the same thing that these salesmen for the Castro Dictatorship have been saying and spreading for I 2 years. The one issue that none of them ever considered even when I debated representatives of the Brigade Venceremos in Salem College. 1971 oral Seton Hall University in New Jersey, or at Rutgers or so many other places, was the issue of Freedom and Self Determination; Freedom from Russian Colonialism, Imperialism and self-determination to decide their own destiny, their own leaders and develop their nation economically for the people and not the state. I could argue the many points that were brought out by your article or which appeared in The Spectrum, but the content was the same message, just like a broken record that all those who defend dictatorship preach. At Salem, Mass., I stressed in to 1971 that to compare the success of Cuba and its people economically, one had to see Cuba before Castro and after; one had to see the few thousand exiles before and the hundreds of thousands who have left and continue to leave. So many times I see and read articles in student papers condemning the United States or the dictatorships of Chile, Brazil or Spain, but never once the police and dictatorial state of Communist Cuba, where some 150,000 political prisoners are in prisons and concentration camps, and as was seen recently on T.V., there is a block by block spy network to check on the masses. Yes, American students demonstrate against the War in Vietnam by the thousands, against the military government that overthrew Allende, etc., etc., but never against the Red tanks when they entered Budapest or when the Polish people rebelled against the Russians, or even Czechoslovakia where students burned themselves to demonstrate their cause for true liberty. Isn’t it strange that we would oppose dictatorship in one area of the world and sanction it in another. There are some 250 priests and nuns in Cuban their prisons. I gather that they deserve to be there crime being a desire for freedom of worship. And what about Alberto Muller, a student leader who is rotting in jail and so many others. Well, I could go on, but I have a firm belief that Cuba will be free some day in spite of such articles and pro-imperialists/ pro-colonialists. - Raul Comesanas 5,616 4,464 670 $927 $48,180 Can we reorganize the center from within? This means two things: this would eliminate the parents who need 1) Raise parent fees the center the most. Single women, minority members and working class families’ wages cannot shoulder the burden of higher rates. 2) Lower staff wages and/or eliminate some of the staff. Both the number of staff and the remaining staff wages have been lowered because of the lack of administrative funding. Another cut in either would create intolerable working conditions and starvation wages. Any center that wants a quality educational program cannot be forced to accept these conditions.

Apparently, though, this situation has been remedied of late, as the Buffalo Bulls, in the words of forward Jim Young, “played the best game we’ve played all year,” defeating Niagara 6-1 last week. play was great, “Team particularly on offense,” Young observed. “We had a lot of team spirit, something we’ve been missing all year.” Young was a major part of the Bulls’ win, scoring a school-record four goals, catapulting him into the ranks of leading scorers in the state. Tops in the state Tim Schum, head coach at the State University at Binghamton and president of the New York Soccer Coaches Association, remarked on Young’s status among scoring leaders. the state “Although we haven’t compiled individual statistics,” he said, “his I I goals would rate right at the top of the scorers. On a per game basis, his scoring rate [ 1.6 goals per game) is almost definitely the top in the state.” Young’s role as leading scorer is not new. He was the primary force in the Bulls’ offense last year. This year, though, with a more skilled supporting cast, TBMA. BFVC including freshman sensation Emmanuel Kulu, every player has the potential of controlling the game as Young did last year. This has created an uncomfortable situation for the players. “I didn’t like the style of play we were using the first five games,” Young said. “I’ve been complaining this year for a couple of reasons. 1 feel I’m more effective when I’ve got the ball, and I wasn’t getting the ball as much as I’m used to. It was affecting my game.” The concept of team play is essential to a successful soccer team, and the Bulls are no exception. With practice/class conflicts, however, Buffalo lost valuable practice time in developing cohesive team style. Getting together “We had a lack of team play earlier in the season, due mainly to [class] conflicts with practice,” Young asserted. “As the season’s progressing, I’m working with the guys more and more, and that’s a result of more playing time together, both in practice and in games,” he added. When asked if his four-goal performance is a personal peak, Young replied", “No, 1 had six once in junior college. I’m going for six in all the rest of the games from now on. I’m going to go crazy,” he joked. Consistent six-goal games is a crazy thought alright, but it can’t hurt to try. -sports shortsBulls in athletic conference Harry Fritz, athletic director, has announced a press conference to be held the morning of Oct. 31 to announce plans for the formation of a regional collegiate athletic league involving Buffalo, Niagara, Buffalo State, and Canisius. These four schools compete with each other in a total of eight sports. It would appear that this conference is an outgrowth of Buffalo’s and Buffalo State’s arrangements to play Canisius in basketball. At this time, though, the details of the conference are not known. President Michael Buffalo wrestling Coach Ed Michael has been elected the first president of the new New York State College Wrestling Coaches Association. The group, which Michael was instrumental in forming, is dedicated to promoting wrestling in the state. Part of his election must have something to do with his success. The Bulls have been the strongest team in the state for several years. They have not lost a match to a New York opponent since 1971, when Oswego topped them. « scrpaer ?I9M KiR ■ass: This sign was hung in Norton Union next to the Fillmore Room last week. It was signed by about 60 people not counting the gag signatures of Lou Sabin (a misspelled version of the Buffalo Bills coach's name), Joe Namath and Mr. President. There were comments, mostly negative, written on the poster as well. Most concerned the expense and impracticality of bringing back football, though someone scribbled "Day Care Not Football." Athletic Director Harry Fritz was encouraged by the sign though he doubted football could be brought back in the near future. — Commentary LA’s loss is Oakland’s win by Bruce Engel Sports Editor When the Baltimore Orioles won the American League Pennant, and swept the World Series in 1966, people talked about dynasty. When the Boston Red Sox won the pennant in 1967, with a super young team, people spoke of dynasty once more. In 1968 the St. Louis Cardinals and their million-dollar payroll won their second straight pennant, but lost to the Detroit Tigers in the series. People talked about Denny McClain and Mickey Lolich. Finally baseball fans reconciled themselves to the fact that no one would ever dominate the game as the Yankees had for 40 years. Now it’s I 474. Charles Finley’s Oakland Athletics have won their third consecutive world championship, fourth division title. And are people talking about Dynasty this time? No way. They are talking about luck, Los Angeles Dodger errors, Finley’s pompous eccentricity and total lack of class and, finally, they describe how the controversial but talented A’s are constantly at each other’s throats. Moral winning Well it’s about time the Athletics got the notice they deserved during the series, but that went to the Dodgers, despite the fact that Oakland won four games to one. For some reason a 3-2 loss all of a sudden became a moral victory for the losers. Many fans and experts probably would emphasize the subtle distinction between the Dodgers losing as opposed to the A’s winning anything. I’m not claiming dynasty. The fact is the team may crumble at any time. Ken Holtzman has said he will retire. Catfish Hunter considers himself a free agent. Reggie Jackson considers himself a free soul, who’s likely to do almost anything. Gene Tenace is disgruntled. Few, if any of the Athletics, are really happy with things as they are. The only thing they have ever done together is win. Two weeks ago Reggie Jackson joked that there are no friends on the team. It wasn’t far from the truth. However, the fact remains that the A’s are frighteningly close to the record five straight world titles that the Yankees won under Casey Stengel. Of course the A’s have had two managers already, during their title reign. And I’ll bet Alvin Dark hasn’t bought a house in the bay area. Check the record If one examines the records of the series, there are some interesting observations to be made. For one thing the Athletics had five errors to the Dodgers’ half a dozen. The Athletics managed to make errors only when it would not hurt them. Actually the Dodgers simply failed to capitalize on them. Luck is not at play here. The Athletics are the kind of team that is likely to hit a man around after he gets on base due to a miscue. Oakland was opportunistic (not lucky, mind you). They beat the Dodgers on LA’s only weakness-infield defense. As always, the A’s played only good enough to win. What else were they supposed to do anyway? They’re simply a solid ball club, with no weaknesses, save the ignorance of speedster Herb Washington, and the arrogance of Charles Finley. Don’t count them out until the whole team walks out. But don’t bet against that either. 1 In Stock Now! Hockey irony Athletic Association According to official Eastern Intercollegiate hockey statistics from the 1973—74 season, Buffalo’s hockey Bulls were the highest-scoring team in the East. The Bulls tallied a total of 200 goals on their way to an 18—11 record. The big guns were Mike Klym with 36 goals, and John Stranges with 25. The ironic thing is that Buffalo Coach Ed Wright was a defenseman during his collegiate career at Boston University. Robby on campus? The word from Speakers Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow is that Frank Robinson, recently appointed major league baseball’s first black manager with the Cleveland Indians, may speak on campus in mid-November. His appearance hinges upon whether or not Robinson returns to the States from a planned trip to Puerto Rico. Robinson will be in Santurce, Puerto Rico, to manage the winter baseball team there, as he has done each year for the past five years. It might be interesting to hear what Robinson has to say about his forthcoming life in a test tube. Scheduling associate Ed Muto, former Buffalo basketball coach, now has the title of Associate Athletic Director for Scheduling. This is essentially the same job he held last year, but without the title. Muto also has the coordination of the non-major physical education program to keep him busy.

Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer Paul Carroll, last week’s Athlete of the Week, is a household name around Buffalo. Even his teammates used to think of him as the poor little rich kid from Amherst. Now in his senior year, he is Buffalo’s top harrier, although a pulled hamstring may keep him out for the rest of the season. not exactly DAILY CROSSWORD PUZZLE 49 Light beige shade 61 13th cent, date: 66 Rom. 68 Plum purple 60 61 Fees ACROSS Jim McClurkin Carroll has been running for seven years. He joined the cross country team at Amherst Central High School, mostly for fun and companionship. Although his times were far from outstanding, he worked hard to improve himself. When he enrolled at Buffalo, Carroll was leery of taking on too much responsibility too soon. He therefore decided not to run cross country for one year, hoping to get back into form during the winter and spring seasons. But a job came along in November, and he couldn’t manage school, work, and practice at the same time. Verve Make some return for Asian religious leader (that) C’est is to say): Fr. — Purpose Frolic Stealthy Plant again Chemical com- pound Type of police Horatio Alger background The following year, Carroll began running again, and he joined Buffalo’s starting five immediately. From there, amidst an endless stream of wisecracks action flower Dam on the Columbia River Spring about his rich-kid background, Carroll worked his way up slowly until this year, when he really started cutting his times down. “He’s not overly endowed with running ability,” McDonough commented. “He’s a good example of a se-made runner who has improved strictly through hard work and desire.” Carroll’s performances as a six miler during the spring track season were not impressive either. But if he improves on the oval this spring as much as he already has in cross country, the track Bulls will have one more consistent point-getter. Carroll doesn’t plan to ease off as graduation approaches. “Last year I only had time to run 50 or 60 miles per week, but this year I’m trying for 100 or 1 20,” he noted. As captain, Carroll is as much concerned with the team’s performance as he is with his own. “We’ve got a really young team,” he said. “Kevin [Lynch, a freshman] is doing a great job. We’re a lot stronger than last year.” Goddess of night Split > Blue Eagle’s initials Closely related: Prefix In the past Colorado River Korge Mosque tower Wool '71 On'l Feaiurei Corp.

Vichy, for one Word of endearment Gouds and linings After not running as a freshman and two of mediocrity, Carroll is leading a better than expected cross country team this year. Coach Jim McDonough observed that “Paul is really coming into his own,” and he has evidence to subsequent years support the claim. Carroll has already broken his own personal record at Grover Cleveland, the Bull’s home course, and he recently destroyed Buffalo’s standard at St. Bonaventure, held by former Bull star The silver cloud over Paul Carroll may have a gray lining in the hamstring injury. The pull is giving him tremendous pain in his knee, and if ice packs and heat treatments don’t help, Carroll may have to sit out the rest of the season. Even if the injury does keep Carroll out of action, his season will still be successful. His performance in the Bulls’ win over Cleveland and his first place finish at St. Bonaventure represent the achievements which have put Paul Carroll at the top of the cross country heap.

That was nearly two years ago; almost nothing has happened since. The Assembly held a few meetings, and last May, elected as Chairman former Student Association (SA) Executive vice-president Dave Saleh. Mr. Saleh soon decided the Assembly “must review its present function,” since it apparently had none. By law, the President of a school in the State University system has authority for campus governance and cannot relinquish that authority. Consequently, all campus governance bodies that attempt to deal with issues not restricted to their specific constituencies are strictly advisory. The Assembly, having no authority over any of its constituent groups and power only to advise the President, now finds itself lacking both authority and purpose. efforts Underwhelming start When the final University Assembly proposal was presented two years ago, it generated little noticeable enthusiasm from most of the groups that would eventually endorse and join it. (Those groups, and one, classified their representation in the Assembly are: alumni ten, graduate employees five, faculty 40, professional staff four, students eight, Millard Fillmore College students three. President 16, professional students undergraduate students Robert Ketter and SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer are ex officio, — — - — — — — — non-voting members.) The SA Executive Committee gave Marjorie Mix, chairperson of the committee on University governance, a skeptical reception when she detailed the proposed Assembly two years ago. SA was then holding out for student-faculty-administration parity on the Assembly, without which it would not give active support to the proposal. Then-National Affairs Coordinator Ed Wolf called the Assembly: “one big zero. It’s a step sideways. It involves us in a kangaroo Congress with no power. It’s a sham.” Big deal Then-Assistant Treasurer David Bartnak’s position eventually became that of SA: “The thing may pass and I won’t be unduly upset, but I don’t think we ought to go out of our way to endorse it.” SA held a referendum on the subject without taking a position on the Assembly. Undergraduate students did not turn out in great numbers, but voted by a safe margin to join. All other constituencies eventually did the same. Since then, the Assembly has not succeeded in gaining the enthusiastic support of the other campus governance bodies. Faculty-Senate Chairman George Hochfield said the Assembly is “obviously in trouble.” He called it “a liberal solution to a problem that can’t be solved that way.” The problem, as Dr. Hochfield saw it, was to bring the various campus groups together to discuss problems that apply to all of them. But the differing interests and values of the constituencies made working together difficult, he said. The Assembly became peripheral to —continued on page 3— Faculty participation in the Colleges has increased dramatically since the passage of the Reichert Prospectus while spokesmen throughout the Collegiate system continue to request more money to pay these faculty and further fund their programs The upsurge in faculty Irving Spitzberg, Dean of involvement was caused by the the Colleges, said that 109 of the merger College with the University faculty now have Perkins Marsh George Project, not at least some minimum level with the comply efforts to by of involvement with the ColProspectus, Ms. Howell explained. leges, in contrast to the two Similarly, Jackie Finley, dozen faculty who were inrepresentative of College B and volved a year ago. member of the Colleges Participation in a College may Chartering Committee, said the consist of teaching, advising, or increase in faculty at College B serving on a College’s governing was not a direct result of the body.

Upsurge not want an The Reichert Prospectus, The Committee does passed by the Faculty-Senate last Spring, mandates that each Collegiate unit demonstrate “substantial” faculty involvement as a requirement for chartering. Any College not chartered will cease to exist after January 1, 1975. Sources in the Collegiate system indicated Wednesday that while faculty involvement has recently increased, the increase was not caused solely by efforts to comply with the Prospectus. They said that attracting new faculty participants had always been one of their goals, and that these goals simply coincided with the requirements of the Prospectus. Roger Cook, spokesman for Social Sciences College, said that while faculty involvement as alte as the fall semester last year was virtually non-existant, there are at least four University faculty participating this semester. The College was also negotiating release time for one of these faculty to become the College’s administrative officer, Mr. Cook indicated. This increase was part of an effort to rebuild Social Sciences College following a recent lapse in student interest, he asserted. 'Not counting heads' Rachel Carson College now has about 12 to 15 faculty who have committed themselves to “teach, supervise, or serve in some way,” according' to member Patricia Howell. Previously, participating faculty had been about eight, she said. process in good faith, and expected the administration to do the same, she said. “When faculty join a college, they do so for the intellectual exercise, not the financial benefit,” one Collegian commented. Parody Negotiations are currently underway to increase stipends of College instructors, possibly to the level of a Millard Fillmore College instructor. More money for the Colleges is not “just a presidential decision,” Dr. Spitzberg said, but it is a consensus of the University to fund the Colleges at a significantly higher level. President Ketter had promised to review the Colleges budget, he said. Meanwhile, the chartering process continued as Urban Studies College (formerly CP. Snow College) went before the Chartering Committee in open hearings Tuesday. Additionally, it was learned that College Z, which emphasized legal awareness and defense of individual rights, would not submit a charter and would dissolve at the end of this semester. Internal problems were mainly responsible for College Z’s dissolution, among them coordinator Jerald Levy’s decision to leave this University, Dr. Spitzberg said. “The College Z programs were among the most creative and productive in the Colleges. We should create a situation where they, and their constituency of cops and students, should be saved,” he said. Debate College Z courses include Criminal and Constitutional Law, Organized Crime, A Radical Approach to Law Enforcement, and The Role of Police in Society. Enrollment is currently about 200. The Courses are expected to be added to the curriculum of Urban Studies College. At the open hearing, several impressive list of faculty with no committee members questioned proof of participation, but a the need for an Urban Studies written committment representing College, noting that some a quality involvement, he noted. departments already deal with Convincing faculty to make urban problems, possibly leading this committment is often to duplication of course material. difficult.

Irving Spitzberg �Gubernatorial race Candidates split on issues of tuition hike, financial aid by Barbara Ranagan Sepclrum Staff Writer The outcome of the upcoming gubernatorial elections will have a direct impact on State University of New York (SUNY) students because of the different stances taken by Hugh Carey and Malcolm Wilson on student-related issues, particularly the possibility of a SUNY tuition hike. Earlier this year, the Student Association of the State University of New York (SASU) asked both candidates for their positions on various higher education issues. The state-wide student organization was especially concerned about the effect inflation might have on SUNY tuition and the current drive for a no-tuition policy in the SUNY system. Despite conflicting reports from sources in the governor’s office, Mr. Wilson said he has no plans to raise tuition. However, he has completely ruled out a feasibility study for a free tution policy by the 1978-79 academic year. In citing his rejection of free public higher education, the governor argued that he must act responsibly on behalf of NYS taxpayers. “The elimination of this revenue would imbalance the budget, thereby requiring taxation of citizens in other areas” he said, and would have a detrimental effect on the private institutions in the state. Mr. Carey has assured students that if elected, he will maintain present tuition levels. “We can and must hold the line on State University tuition,’’ he asserted, promising to study contingency plans and work for a tuition roll-back. “The State, not the students, should bear the burden of financing of higher education state in these days of high inflation,” Mr. Carey stressed. Candidates' riff On the corollary issue of student financial aid, the rift between the candidates is even more apparent. Mr. Carey supported the creation of a state work-study program and endorsed SASU’s suggestions to revise the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). The revisions would eliminate the $200 tuition differential between upper and lower division students, reinstitute the former method of computing awards for students from families with more than one child attending college, extend awards to matriculated half-time students, and allow five year awards for students who transfer from two to four-year colleges. Mr. Wilson has cited his role in implementing the TAP program, and said that “dollar restraints” have made the additional revisions impossible Concerning the adoption of voting student membership on the Board of Trustess and College and community College councils, Mr. Wilson expressed serious reservations about curtailing the governor’s power of appointment student by legislating participation. He said he did not necessarily seek students per se, but the most capable individuals to do the job. However, he assured SASU that he would consider its nominations. Student appointees Mr. Carey believes students should be appointed to the various University governance boards. He said he would appoint a SASU-elected representative for voting membership to the State University Board of Trustees, and support the election of individual student body representatives to their local college councils. He also said he would not necessarily limit participation to one student in an effort to avoid tokenism. Regarding the frequentlythreatened mandatory student activity fee, Mr. Carey blasted attempts by previous Republican legislatures to eliminate or further regulate the assessment and allocation of student fees. Mr. Wilson considers this regulation an internal SUNY matter, saying, “in fact these fees are neither imposed nor regulated by the governor.” However, he would not promise to veto any future legislative attempts to restrict the use of student fees. District voting On student voting rights, Mr. Carey promised he will fight to amend the state election law to allow students to vote in their college districts. Mr. Wilson carefully pointed out that the issue was complicated by the lengthy process of amending the New York State constitution. Last year, Mr. Wilson vetoed a SASU bill that would have lowered the minimum age from 21 to 18 years for anyone serving as an officer or a member of the board of directors of a corporation that holds a liquor license. His concern is with maturity, not age, and he has asked the Law Revision Commission “to reevaluate the issues from the point of the community as well as the 18 to 21 year olds.” Governor Wilson said he would endorse the legislation if the Commission issued a favorable report. However, he would also ensure the flexibility of the State Liquor Authority to reject individuals whose maturity may be questionable. Mr. Carey simply endorsed legislation that would lower the age of majority so that students, as directors of a corporation, could obtain liquor licenses. ACT-Sharp hopes to ge t things done by David Haitkin Spectrum Staff Writer SA rejects motion to a ter new membership guidelines The Student Assembly defeated a resolution Tuesday that would have amended the selection process of members to the Personnel and Appointments Committee. The absence of a large enough voting block perpetuated this defeat. Presently, members to this committee are appointed by the SA President with the approval of the Executive Committee. The Personnel and Appointment Committee selects candidate's for certain stipended positions in SA during the spring semester. The general feeling among the Assembly was the selection process should be amended whereby the six committee members would be elected by the Student Assembly. In addition, the committee would choose its own chairman while the Executive vice-president (who previously served as chairman) would be a non-voting member. While there was wide support for this amendment, the motion was defeated by just under the three-fifths required vote for passage. Had all that 100 members been present at the meeting, the motion would have most likely carried, since absentees are counted as “nay” votes. As it stands, the SA will retain the current selection guidelines Club recognition In other developments, the Assembly voted to recognize the Student Medical Technology Association, Community Action Corps (CAC), New York Public Interest Group (NYPIRG), Student Legal Aid Clinic, the Record Co-op, the Student Book Exchange and the SA Travel Bureau as viable SA clubs. Nominations and elections to the SA Executive Committee were also brought up during Tuesday’s meeting. Each nominee gave a brief speech before the Assembly, and members were then instructed to vote to fill the two vacant seats on the 11-man Executive Committee. The new committee members are Bruce Lang and Art LaLonde. Page two . The Spectrum . Friday, 18 October 1974 The Alliance of Consumers and Taxpayers (ACT)-Sharp is a developing organization that hopes to give individuals a way to get things done. “We want to build an organization that can work with individuals on a people-to-people basis,” explained Sandy Stoyle, an active member of the group. “If someone wants a stop sign on their corner, we want to help them. Rather than us doing it for them, we’d like a ‘let’s work together’ attitude,” Ms. Stoyle said. Still in its formative stages, the group grew out of a succeesful venture. Instead of leaving the funding of the proposed Buffalo Convention Center to the city government, the group initiated a referendum which has shifted some of the financial burden to Erie County and some of the nearby hotel owners by means of a “bed tax.” decreased by an average of 45 percent, Ms. Stoyle noted. Senior Citizens active in ACT-Sharp brought the topic of utility rates to the group last winter. Feasibility study “We tried working with the Utilities Service Commission, but we found that you need a scorecard to tell the difference between them and the utility companies,” Ms. Stoyle added. The group is presently circulating petitions that would get either the city or the county to do a feasibility study, she said. Ms. Stoyle estimates that there are now 200 to 300 active members of ACT-Sharp. The organization has spread to all parts of Erie County. It is comprised almost entirely of volunteers, but for its initial stages, two professional organizers were hired, whose salaries come from the proceeds of a Bingo game run by 80 volunteers. Municipal utilities Stop junk yard Another ACT-Sharp project is Along with continuing action on the Convention Center, working to prevent the ACT-Sharp is asking the city to construction of a huge junkyard examine the possibility of putting in the middle of Holland, N.Y., a utilities under the jurisdiction of town about 40 miles southeast of either Erie County or the City of Buffalo.

On three occasions this season, the team has gone out for post-game meals after a home contest, at the expense of the team budget. The budget line for home game meals was specifically cut from the soccer budget last spring, according to Warren Breisblatt, former chairman of the Student Athletic Review Board (SARB). There has been some confusion, however, as to whether the item was actually cut or not. Mr. Breisblatt claims his office sent a memo to Athletic Department personnel after the budget was cut last spring stating that no funds were to be spent on post-game meals after home games. But SA has no record of that communication, nor does Athletic Deparment business manager Howard Daniels. Theoretically, if the item had been cut, it would have appeared in the form of a sharply decreased contractual services line within the soccer budget. Mr. Breisblatt claims the budget activated by the SA Executive Committee last spring reflected this reduction. However, Athletic Director Harry Fritz contends he did not receive a line-by-line budget, but only a total figure from SA. Budget not finalized Dr. Fritz and other members of the athletic department have always insisted on maintaining professional control over their budgets. Refuting claims that the athletic deparment violated its budget lines, he stressed, “We have not even completed the final draft (of this year’s budget] yet.” SA treasurer Sal Napoli feels the Athletic Department cannot justify spending in this manner while it has been SA president Frank Jackalone is uncertain about what will happen with the bills that have accrued (total for the three meals comes to more than $300). “We have two choices,” he said. “We can not pay the bills, though I doubt that, and the situation fixes itself. Or we can pay them and take some other kind of action to rectify this. In either case, I’m going to issue a policy statement declaring that there are to be no more meals after home games,” he concluded. Never told Soccer coach Sal Esposito claims he was never told by anyone not to have meals after home games. “As far as I’m concerned, I’ve done nothing wrong,” he said, after being informed of the controversy. “I’ve stayed' within my budget. I have requested things from my business manager and they have been approved. If 1 had been told not to do this, do you think they would approve it?” Mr. Esposito has a document from Associate Athletic Director Ed Muto informing him only of his total budget figure, which makes no further stipulations. “I’m working under the premise that I’ve got a total figure and that I’m to make my own cuts,” the soccer coach explained, reaffirming his department’s insistence on executing its own professional judgment on these issues. Mr. Napoli’s accusation, that the meal costs themselves were exhorbitant, was sharply disputed by Mr. Esposito, who said, “We put the kids through so much, a good meal is the least they deserve.” The department occasionally justifies meals on the basis that it is impossible for athletes on board contract to get back to their dorms after the contest in time to eat. However, that would apply in only one of the three cases, since two of the soccer games did end early enough for the players to return to their dorms. Harry Fritz Records available to students in late November by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor College students will have complete access to all previously confidential files beginning November 19, when the “Family Education Rights and Privacy* Act” goes into effect. The law, sponsored by Senator James Buckley of New York, gives students over 18 and parents of children under 18 the right to review personal records and files, of the law’s including all material that has However, because several months are been incorporated into each complexity, it has to before expected elapse student’s cumulative folder. real effect.

If a student feels the data filed on him is inaccurate or misleading, he may request a hearing to challenge the file’s contents. The law denies third parties and most federal access to the records, unless the student has given written consent. A school that does not comply with the law may lose its federal aid. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) has set up an administrative office and a review board to investigate complaints of violations. HEW will also review record keeping procedures at schools. The US Office of Education is currently establishing guidelines for implementing the act. The Spectrum is published Monday.

Circulation average: 14,000 Unfavorable comment He cited complaints by many groups, including the Student American Medical Association, which was bitter about the excessive power professors in medical schools have. “The professors can make unfavorable comments in the students’ records, but the students often don’t know about it and don’t know what they’re doing wrong,” Mr. Kwapisz emphasized. The amendment, however, has been attacked by college administrators across the country, who feel the new law will cause a bureaucratic overload and serious ethical and practical problems relating to students’ letters of recommendation Giving students access to recommendations will make teachers less than honest in the evaluations, they claim. MacAllister Hull, Dean of the University’s Graduate School, feels the law will have a major effect on admissions policy for graduate school. “Recommendations are a major part of problems for educators. “Should for prior confidentiality.” Senator records written two or three years Buckley’s position, he claimed, before the law was enacted be would probably be to leave opened?” he queried, recommendations open to the “considering the violation of student unless he agrees to waive privacy of tne reports.

Logistics Walter Kunz, associate Dean of Undergraduate Education, feels that although the new law “might create a logistics problem if a lot of students want to "see their records,” it would be beneficial because students should know if something negative is written about them. “Faculty will back off, not write recommendations at all or write statements of no consequence,” claimed E.J. Martell, director of University Placement. Admissions “will lean more heavily on standardized tests,” Dr. Martell added. “I think it’s unfair as far as students are concerned.” Dr. Martell also raised several questions about contents of the law. It does not specify if it is retroactive, or define clearly whether things like financial aid and counseling records should be included in the file, he explained. Lobbyist John Morse, director of government relations for the American Council on Education, said the law poses several No conflict Dr. Hochfieid feels there has been no conflict between the Assembly and the Faculty-Senate. The Faculty-Senate had “a fairly clear mandate” to deal with the educational program which, by law, is the responsibility of the faculty, he explained. The Faculty-Senate also serves as the faculty’s voice in University-wide affairs. Dr. Hochfieid emphasized, adding that the Faculty-Senate “is not willing to see other bodies encroaching upon its prerogatives.” But there have been “no special conflicts,” Dr. Hochfieid said. "The Assembly has minded its own business. Its problem is finding out what its business is." Graduate Student Association (GSA) President Tony Schamel agreed with Dr. Hochfield’s assessment, but offered a more optimistic view of the Assembly’s future He said the body “has not determined what was business for the Assembly.” Because representatives to the Assembly’s Executive Committee were not the presidents, chairpersons, or directors of their respective bodies, but merely representatives, Mr. Schamel feels “they can’t speak strongly” for their organizations. Reorganization planned Mr. Schamel supports Mr. Saleh’s proposal, outlined in a letter written to President Ketter on September 27, to disband the present Assembly and replace it with a Council of University Chairmen, composed of the heads of the constituent bodies. He said the “concept” of the Assembly is good, but the body is “looking for things to do.” SA President Frank Jackalone said he supported a reorganized Executive Committee, but insisted on faculty-student-administration parity. He asserted: “If the Assembly is to be saved it has to be a much smaller body of around 20 to 25 people.” The Assembly, scheduled to meet October 17, will consider a resolution proposed by Assembly Executive Committee member Michael Metzger to accept Mr. Saleh’s proposal with the amendment that “This Council shall consist of the Chairmen, or Presidents, of the constituent bodies presently represented on the University Assembly, or their designees.” Friday, 18 October 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . �Some successes Many schools work to establish viable campus governments by Don Eisenmann Several universities and colleges across the state have attempted, and in some cases succeeded, in establishing an effective and responsive campus-wide government that represents every constituency. The State University of New York (SUNY) system’s 1972 master plan, which established guidelines for university governance, recommended that “University-wide advisory bodies representing faculty, students, and non-teaching professionals be designated or strengthened for the purpose of formulating and communicating to the Chancellor the views of all prime constituents.” The master plan also pointed out that while some bodies, like the Faculty-Senates, participate significantly in formulating university policy, little progress has been made in establishing a “comprehensive organizational pattern through which all major constituent groups of the University have a responsible voice at all levels.” Since then, though, university governance has been established or revamped on several campuses. College senate The Stale University College at Buffalo created the College Senate in 1971 which its bylaws define as “the official agency through which the faculty and students engage in the governance of the College.” Its major areas of concern include curriculum, standards for admission and graduation, tenure, appointment, promotion, and termination. It also deals with budget matters and academic planning. The Senate’s 50 members consist of 15 faculty, 12 students, the President and vice-presidents, and several other administrators. L. Ster, President of Buffalo State’s student government, described the College Senate as the primary governing body on campus, but feels it is not an exceptionally effective organization. “I don’t believe it’s the best way to run a college. The students have no real bargaining power,” Ms. Ster said, explaining that the basic problem is that students haven’t been effective in pushing for academic concerns. Since students make up over one fourth of the membership of the Senate, they could become an effective force if they got organized into a unified group, Ms. Ster explained. Joint effort Basically, she said, faculty and students have worked together on most issues, although there are a few faculty who resent sharing the power of governance with students. For the most part, she feels, students and faculty have more in common in terms of goals than students and administrators. Ms. Ster believes the strongest threat to university Passport/Application Photos UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Tues., Wed., Thurs.; 10 a.m —5 p.m come from faculty unions, which are exerting an increasing influence in university affairs. “Students should also develop unions and develop a way of using tuition as a bargaining tool,” she said. “They’re the consumers of education, the ones that pay for it.” The State University College At New Paltz has a College Assembly, composed of 50 percnet faculty and 50 percnet students. It is generally regarded as an ineffective body. Frank Tramontana, a member of the student government at New Paltz, feels it hasn’t been effective in governing the college. “It hasn’t met at all this year and 1 haven’t seen them deal with anything effectively,” he said. The biggest problem is apathy, on the part of both students and faculty. “People just aren’t interested,” he lamented. governance has Contributing Editor Ineffective assembly “There has got to be some working with the faculty but 1 don’t know how to do it,” Mr. Tramontana went on. Faculty care even less than students go about government, he said, but some are outraged that students have a voice in determining such things as tenure. The State University of New York at Albany has a University Senate, which Mr. Gibson, the chairperson, describes as the primary legislative and advisory body on campus. It has 100 members, of which 48 are faculty, and 33 students. The rest are administrators and non-teaching professionals. Mr. Gibson feels the Senate is an “effective means of governance because it creates a forum for all members of the University so that one body can represent all interests.” While he admits that the Senate Irtfe taken positions as a threat to governance and feels that more faculty support the Senate than the union. The State University of New York at Binghamton presently has a divided system for the University as a whole, with a separate faculty and student senates. For three years, from 1969 to 1972, it had a University Assembly which represented graduate and undergraduate students, faculty and administratiors. After that time it was reviewed, and although supported by administrators and students, it was rejected by faculty. Voting blocs Peter Comeau, a member of the student government at Binghamton, feels it was rejected by the faculty because the student members voted in blocs and faculty members feared the power this gave them. Harper College, the undergraduate division of Binghamton, has a university-wide governance system called the Harpur College Council, composed of 55 percent faculty, 12 percent administrators, and 33 percent students. It meets once a week to make academic policy, approve new courses and evaluate programs. Mr. Comeau feels it is an effective organization because there is no bloc voting. Each member votes as an individual, he said. by Terry Koler Spectrum Staff Writer The growth and the benefits of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) were discussed by Donald Ross, executive director of NYPIRG and a Ralph Nader associate, at the Ellicott complex Tuesday night. Mr. Ross explained how the need for an organization that both involved students and benefitted the public had arisen. “Nader tried to interest students in investigative work through his speeches, and while the students on the campuses listened and were generally moved, they lacked the organization to go out and affect any change,” he said. “A program called Student Action Arms was established, but it failed because of a lack of response.” Mr. Ross continued. “P1RG was formed in order to solve continuous problems, 12 months a year.” For PIRG to be a success, it has to be a “marriage” between the investigative responsibility of . The Spectrum Friday, 18 October 1974 . Voice in hiring There is presently an effort at Queens to get students on personnel and budget committees, so that students will have an actual voice in who gets hired and fired and what money gets allocated where Ms. Szoboda said the Senate is very effective and gives students a strong voice in governance. Most faculty, she said, are willing to cooperate, but a few resent sharing their power in matters they consider their own jurisdiction. Michelle Smith, National Affairs Coordinator of the State University at Buffalo’s Student Association, feels that the trend across the country is toward university-wide governance because “administrators and faculty have recognized student responsibility.” She said students, faculty and staff will have to work together because cooperation is the “only intelligent and responsible way to govern a university for the benefit of those who attend.” Bob Kirkpatrick, vice president of the Student Association of the State University (SASU), hopes to have students concerned with pushing for “this kind of governance,” because it is more reflective of the people it is supposed to govern. He sees faculty unionization as a threat to university governance, and pointed out that one of the priorities in the 1975 legislative session is to get laws passed to make sure the power of the union does not encroach upon university governance. Faculty control Andy Hugos, information research director of SASU, feels university government will be moving back to faculty control, because the faculty, if ia disagreement with something the university governance might pass, can bring it up as a term of contract. Since students have no say in faculty contracts, the faculty will regain the final say. “Governing bodies will have less impact as issues become conditions of contract,” Mr. Hugos said. Constantine Yeracaris, head of the local United University Professionals here, feels unions should protect their constituents only in such matters as job security, promotion, and salaries. University governance should not deal with conditions of employment, nor should the union deal wjth curricular or program planning, he said. “I don’t see a problem,” he said. “The local union leadership is very effective in watching that union activities do not overlap into areas of governance, and that university governance does not get involved in areas that should be restricted to the union.” NYPIRG’s Ross asks for student action 3 photos for S3 ($.50 per additional) Page four “Its an effective body,” noted Mr. Comeau, “in that what has to be done is handled.” He feels a university-wide governance is better than a divided system, because “we don’t have to rely on the whims of faculty, and faculty begin to respect students once they begin to work with them.” Queens College has what many consider to be the best governance system in the country. Its Academic Senate is composed of two-thirds faculty and one-third students, and has a setup similar to that of the U.S. Congress. Diane Szoboda, a student member of the Senate, explained that the president usually listens to the decisions of the Senate because he knows they reflect a consensus in the College. research and the use of the law in effective ways so change can be made, Mr. Ross said. The initial idea for PIRG was to hire a professional staff of lawyers and researchers to work for the students. Pessimism At first there was some resistance to the idea. “Pessimists said it wouldn’t work because no lawyer or trained researcher would work for students, especially since the pay wasn’t very good and the hours were not the best,” Mr. Ross explained. “All of the objections have been struck down with the demonstration that the program can and does work, however,” he declared. “Campus idealism thrives in PIRG in spite of the lack of faculty support,” he noted. To attract more students, special accredited studies were set up. Ross spoke of the Mr. accomplishments of PIRG’s in other states. In Oregon, PIRG cannot lobby, or litigate. But investigations into the practices of - used car dealers showed that the “bait and switch” tactic was used to induce customers into buying cars they didn't really want. The Oregon PIRG released its findings and sthe state’s Attorney General filed suit against the offending dealers. No warning New In investigated prescription showed PIRG York, the sale of drugs. Studies drugs were being that prescribed without the proper warning that if combined with certain other drugs, the results could prove fatal. A study was also made in Michigan into the substitution of less expensive drugs for the original drug prescribed by the physician. New York is the first state to establish more than one PIRG office and hopes are that the rest of the nation will follow suit. “PIRG has moved in the direction of nuclear power investigation because of the major commitments made by the big companies in that field,” Mr. Ross said. “PIRG will go head to head against them and win,” predicted. “P1RG is also involved he in women’s rights,” he added. And in two or three years, PIRG will force the State Legislature into public visibility, too. “The public 'doesn't realize the life and death control that it has on our lives." he said. Returnable bottles now involved in to ban legislation non-returnable beverage bottles, to forbid the illegal practices PIRG is securing connected with hearing aid sales to the elderly, and to permit voter registration drives on campuses. Due to a technical problem caused by the change in primary dates, it is now legally impossible for college campuses to have voter registration drives. Mr. Ross stressed the need for active student participation in these efforts. “The best way to learn about the problems of our society is to be involved first hand. PIRG offers a learning experience that a classroom could never offer.” �Commentar Primaries in need ofreform nothing was actually done to change the statute. There were reports that Senator Humphrey could not run an effective campaign in New York because just to make voters aware of the names of the delegates committed to him would have cost $300,000 to $400,000. There were accusations that the Republican-controlled State Legislature was not interested in amending the law for 1972 because Richard Nixon did not have a primary opponent in New York and the law would thus hamper only the Democrats. It was thought that the Republicans, knowing Mr. Nixon would not be running in 1976, would change the law for the anticipated Republican primary. However, with President Ford expected to seek a full four-year term, and the likelihood of a Democratic free-for-all, a by Joseph R. Esposito City Editor In 1972, there was an intense but typically short-lived attack directed at an obscure section of the New York State Election Law which deals with the Presidential preference primaries. Democrats who went to the polls to choose delegates to their national convention found that the names of the delegates were not identified in any way with those of the candidates they may have supported, and that consequently, the names of George McGovern and Hubert Humphrey were nowhere to be found on the confusing ballot. In the days before and after the June primary, newspapers and politicians criticized the law for not listing candidates’ names on the ballot.

WASHINGTON SURPLUS CENTER "TENT CITY" 853 1515 Miter. Empire, BenkAmer. I 730 Main, at Tupper - KHr. free parking Republican legislature might not be so inclined to change this ridiculous law. Ridiculous law It is a ridiculous law for several reaons. Most obviously, the law ensures that once the voter is in the voting booth, there is no way for him to vote for the Presidential candidate of his choice unless he knows beforehand the names of the delegates who are supporting “his candidate.” If the voter has not memorized the names or carried some informational literature into the booth with him, he cannot know if the delegates he is voting for actually represent his President preference. As a result, this “stupid” law, as many voters called it in 1972, confuses and discourages many people and may cause even lower turnouts than usual in primaries. Instead of making voting easier and less mysterious, this statute serves to test the memories of New York voters, and to produce election results in which the winner is chosen by an even smaller minority than in most primary contests. Officials unconcerned The economics of political campaigns makes the law even more undesirable. With new spending laws going into effect, expenditures for such essentially uninformative literature as lists of delegate names is certainly wasteful and may well push campaign spending to its limits. Those members of State government who deal with the election law are neither particularly informed about nor concerned with the situation. They say they wait for suggestions to come in before acting to change this tricky and esoterick branch of the law. But they claim there have been few complaints about it. Some feel that the law should remain unchanged. They assert that to place the candidate’s name in conjunction with the delegates would inextricably bind the delegates to the candidate regardless of his status by the time of the convention. For example, if a slate of delegates were listed as supporting Candidate X in the primary, and Candidate X dropped out of the race before the convention, New York might go into the convention with no viable delegates at all. This argument, that New York’s political clout would be diminished at the national conventions binding delegates to candidates weeks before the convention, just does not hold water. Other states have laws which make it easy for voters to know who the delegates on the ballot are supporting without tying the hands of the delegates at the convention. Just because New York officials cannot write an adequate law is no reason why New Yorkers should not have a law which makes elections less mysterious to the voter. This reluctance to act on the part of State government may be symbolic of the State’s neglect of the nuts and bolts of a democratic electoral system. The State Legislature, whether Republican or Democratic, should act immediately to free New York State from this stupid law by 1976. SASU internship program involves lobbying in Albany by Barbara Ranagan and Andy Hugos would involve active participation in the legislative process,” said SASU Legislative Director Ray Glass. The program is designed to provide students The Student Association of the State University of New York (SASU) is sponsoring a legislative internship program in Albany for the upcoming Spring Semester. SASU is a statewide coalition of the student governments of the state-operated SUNY campuses which lobbies in the State Legislature for the interests and welfare of its students. The SASU Legislative Program is restricted to issues which directly affect “students as students.” Financial aid, tuition, the University budget, governance, student rights, and voting rights are examples of such issues. with first-hand experience in the New York State political process in a full-time program that combines work and study, he pointed out.

The new ride board will supplement the University-wide ride board on the second floor of Norton Union. It will be located on the first floor's large bulletin board, near the Fillmore Room. Bad experience Paul Kade, chairman of Norton House Council, approves of the idea, but expressed doubts because a similar ride board two years ago failed due to some “ugly incidents. Some girls were molested by the driver,” he explained. Students wanting to use the new board must first obtain a special card from the Norton information desk, Mr. Kade said. After filling out the card, the student must return it to the desk along with his or her I.D. The card is then validated. This procedure ensures that Norton Union is not liable for any damages that may occur. Six other state colleges use this plan, and there have been no incidences of mistreatment of rides, according to Cecilia Soboleski, chairperson of the SA ride board subcommittee. The ride board will be funded through the SA office of National Affairs. It will be checked each week and all outdated cards will be removed. SA has been given permission to draw up final plans for the project with the assistance of Albert Ermanovics (who is in charge of the Norton information desk). A written proposal must then be approved by Mr. Kade and Robert Henderson, assistant director of Norton Union. SUNY government: Students skeptical over participation by Barbara Ranagan Spectrum Staff Writer Despite a recent State University Board of Trustees resolution opening its meetings to students, student leaders are skeptical of the extent to which they will actually be allowed to participate in the Trustees’ deliberations. The resolution which permits representatives of student, faculty, alumni organizations as well as administration officials to attend regular Board meetings and local College Council meetings, was adopted last April 24. SA President Frank Jackalone, welcomed the Board’s motion, calling it “the first step toward meaningful student participation in University affairs.” He was careful to note, however, that the student representatives would not be able to vote. GSA President Tony Schamel, the recently-elected student representative to the Council of the University at Buffalo, said, “If student participation proves to be a successful attempt by the University Council, I don’t see why the University Council would not support full student membership.” Participation might be extended, he said, “if we can demonstrate responsibility and maturity.” Mr. Schamel pointed out that firm guidelines for student participation have not yet been established, though. Background Mrs. Maurice T. Moore, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, said that the resolution was a response to the Cook-Pisani bill which would with full voting have placed a student and a faculty member privileges on each College Council. After passing overwhelmingly in the State Assembly, however, and even after strong lobbying by the Student Association of the State University (SASU), the bill was killed in the Senate Rules Committee. Dan D. Kohane, president of both SASU and the State University Student Assembly, is the Statewide student representative to the Board of Trustees. In commenting on his role, he said, “they (the Trustees) welcomed each constituency to take part fully in discussion.” He noted, however, that he had been excluded from the executive session of the Board during the September 24-25 meeting. — — Unsatisfactory SASU Legislative Director Ray Glass said, “We don’t consider this to be satisfactory by any means.” He pointed out that crucial decisions are often made in executive session, explaining “the resolution does not preclude closing these sessions to student observers.” Mr. Glass added that SASU will conduct another lobbying effort this year in the State Legislature to gain full voting membership for students on the Board of Trustees and College Councils. Despite the past failures of such lobbying efforts, Mr. Glass is encouraged by the shape of upcoming gubernatorial elections. In a SASU interview, frontrunner Hugh Carey has pledged to support legislation that would introduce full student membership on the Board and on local College Councils. Page six . The Spectrum .

NEW YORK 14622 �Peace Corps looking ahead Rockefeller calk for immediate hearings by Dene Dube Feature Editor Vice President-designate Nelson A. Rockefeller has asked the Senate Rules Committee and House Judiciary Committee to immediately begin hearings on his nomination because he feels he is being tried in the press without an opportunity to present all the facts. Senator Howard Cannon and Congressman Peter Rodino, respectively the chairmen of the Senate and House Committees, have agreed to discuss the matter with their colleagues to determine whether resumption of the Senate hearings will be possible by the end of this week, according to a statement by Mr. Rockefeller. In a letter sent to both committee chairmen, the former governor said his nomination was being evaluated “on the basis of selective leaks from my income tax returns and gift tax reutrns, all of which were submitted to the committee in confidence.” Mr. Rockefeller was referring to disclosures that he had made large financial gifts and loans to friends and associates totaling approximately $2 million. These included 18 former and present public officials and staff members. Gifts The gifts included: fifty-thousand dollars Kissinger when he left Rockefeeler’s employ as foreign policy advisor to take over the same job in the Nixon Administration in 1969. eighty-six thousand dollars to former New York State official L. Judson Morehouse, a long-time Republican state chairman and Rockefeller backer, who was sentenced to 2-3 years in prison in 1966 on bribery and unlawful fee charges arising from a state liquor authority scandal.

Training programs help them overcome this culture shock, but many of the volunteers find the actual experience helps them adjust the best. Identity crisis Teaching English as a foreign language in an all-girl high school in Tunisia from 1971 to 1973, Ms. Smallcombe encountered an “identity crisis’’ as a woman. She had wanted to become part of the Arab society, but Arab women were still given subordinate roles, and Ms. Smallcombe was used to a freer role. She resolved this personal conflict by acting conservatively in public life and maintaining her own values in her private life. Trying to “open the eyes” of her students to women’s liberation, she fortunately did not meet any resentment from their parents. Many of the Tunisians were “shocked,” she said, that she had left her family to come to a foreign country for two years, but they accepted many of her liberal attitudes because she was a foreigner. She also felt warmly received by many hospitable families. worse shape than himself. Commitments to the Peace Corps and Vista are limited to two and one year commissions, respectively, because of the idea that the volunteer is only a catalyst in the community, and not in a place to make a position for himself in the community, according to Mr. Riley. He was granted an extension, however, enabling him to work for two years in Legal Services. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in history in 1971, he joined Vista. During the two weeks of formal training and orientation to urban community work, Mr. Riley was selected to work as a legal assistant in New and rent money. In Tunisia, this was considered a middle class income. Peace Corps officials want their volunteers to live the same life as the people around them, explained Ms. Smallcombe. Volunteers are not permitted to take extra cash with them. The Peace Corps also put away $75 a month for Ms. Smallcombe to use after her service. She received 24 days paid vacation, along with all transportation and medical expenses as well.

The second month Friday, 18 October 1974 The Spectrum Page seven . . �Editorial 1University governance . . . After a year of trying to define its jurisdiction amidst a University structure that places authority squarely in the hands of the President and Faculty-Senate, the University Assembly has come to a dead end. Instead of evolving into a forum where common efforts could be made to solve common problems, the Assembly has spent the last 15 months groping for direction and learning that established bases of power have no intention of surrendering their influence in the interests of university-wide governance. In a sense, governance was nearly doomed from the start. It had been widely anticipated, at the time of the passage of the Articles of Governance, that each constituency's unique interests and values would not make it easy for a centralized organization to take common stances on specific issues. Consequently, the Articles were deliberately written in a manner that was both vague and practical; the actual wording did not define the Assembly's jurisdiction, but their passage was ensured because they posed no threat to any existing governments. It has become clear that University-wide governance cannot work within its current structure, and that it may very well be unworkable under any setup. Assembly chairman Dave Saleh, recognizing the need for wholesale restructuring if the body is to survive, has proposed that the present Assembly be replaced by a smaller Council of University Chairmen, composed of the Presidents or heads of each campus organization. While Mr. Saleh's idea is a sound one and will diffuse much of the confusion and disarray that has decreased the Assembly's chances of becoming a viable body, the newlyformed Council could also face many of the same jurisdictional problems. For example, having one representative from each group seems more equitable on paper than having twice as many faculty as undergraduates, but each member of the Council would still carry the full weight of his constituent group. The dilemna of one group encroaching on another's "territory" would not be eliminated, since faculty would still oppose giving a University-wide body a say in legislating academic programs. Unless concessions are made, the only issues likely to come before the group will be those of an extremely gerteral nature. But the Assembly has nothing to lose and everything to gain by passing the Saleh proposal, and the newly-constituted Council might actually give new hope to future University- wide governance on this campus. . . and a student voiceshare the The reluctance of campus constituencies to decision-making process with each other, as demonstrated by the University Assembly, has underscored the need for students to search for independent ways of bringing their influence to bear on University-wide decision making. Instead of dilly-dallying with parliamentary procedure and obscure amendments to its constitution, the Student Assembly should come out of hibern Jtion and begin taking stances on the real issues namely academics. For example, stjdents are prevented by law from voting on a faculty member's reappointment because a clause in the United University Professional (UUP) contract entitles them to "peer review." Why doesn't SA, in addition to fighting for increased representation on administration and faculty committees, form its )wn review task force on tenure and reappointment? This group could independently study an instructor's qualifications and issue a full report to the academic departme its, the President's office and the campus media. Such an effort proved successful last year after James Lawler was arbitrarily denied reappointment. Why doesn't SA, in anticipation of a Faculty-Senate vote sometime this year on the issue of credit versus contact hours, form committees to study the administration's claim that the four-course load has weakened the University's requests for more faculty? It should also investigate claims by some administrators that the four course load has led to a decline in the quality of education. We realize that some SA members have displayed a sensitivity toward academics by recruiting academic clubs and taking action on thj Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE), which had been largely neglected for the past three years. But a more exhaustive effort is needed if students are to have a real say in University-wide academic affairs. — Page eight. The Spectrum* Friday, 18 October 1974 a : **■* - ••■.‘Vf: 'WHATlVIt ILSI YOU FIND, I KNOW NOTHIN® ABOUT IT, OR AFOIOOIZI FOR ITI' TRB from Washington October 18, 1974 Halfway through President Ford’s speech to Congress last week on the economy he remarked. “Make no mistake. We do have a real energy shortage.” Several of us looked at each other and exclaimed, “What do you know.” It was as electrifying as a damp blotter. To his credit, Mr. Ford when it came to taxes, did not use the old Nixon cliche in getting over the hurdle. One could almost see the former president looking up brightly, smirking, and observing, “The easy thing to do would be to avoid the subject.” Jerry Ford was more direct. He admitted advisers had urged him to delay the matter till after the election. The crowd squirmed a bit, knowing what was coming. He paused, his voice dropped, and he added quietly, “But I shall not play politics with America’s future.” It was a touching instant, there was a little applause, and it passed into history that Mr. Ford was making a mild gesture toward soaking-the-rich. Not very much of the latter, heaven knows. The Ford advisers put together a crash program that has some good points and some weak ones and is better in what it urges than in what it does. “It’s not a block-buster, it’s not an instant cure,.’ Treasury secretary Simon, looking like a successful Wall Street broker with a near-genius IQ explained to the press before the speech, giving the mood between the lines: We Have in the United States more government than we need; more government than we are willing to pay for! This is a balanced program, minimizing government controls. Controls just make inflation worse.” And so we are all going voluntarily to cut back on gasoline and on heat, and wear WIN buttons in our lapels, and help subsidize new homes and maybe even the unemployed, by a five percent surtax on income taxes of families with incomes above $15,000 (to raise $2.6 billion), and five percent surtax on corporate income taxes (to raise $2.1 billion). The poor will get maybe $ 1.6 billion in tax releif, and the corporations, through a liberalized investment tax credit, $2.7 billion. That means that the tax benefits to corporations will more than offset their surtax. This column will hold off final judgment for a while, however, and see how things work out. Mr. Ford has opened a few holes in the one-dimensional economics that helped get us into this mess sole reliance by conservatives on — tight money and budget-cutting and the unexpressed hope that maybe a little recession would teach those unions a lesson. We have a hunch that as stagflation continues Mr. Ford will find it necessary to put into effect other optional proposals, and that the “old-time religion” will sprout heresies. Primarily, it was lack of urgency that was disappointing. When the garrison is attacked, the sentry roars the alarm. This was only a mild, “Time to wake up, please.” Meanwhile, Congress has hurried off to campaign, President Ford is making a couple of out-of-town political speeches a week, and Nelson Rockefeller, the still uncrowned crown prince, is waiting confirmation. Vice President Rockefeller, if confirmed, will be the most powerful figure ever to sit in that anomalous office; the story of his largesse to aides, associates and public officials shows how money helps. He gave a going-away present of $50,000 to his former policy adviser, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, in 1969, when the latter joined the federal government. He contributed generously all to a score of Republican congressmen perfectly legitimately, it would appear, in the absence of any legal limit. One Rockefeller adviser, William Ronan, now chairman of the New York and New Jersey Port Authority, got $550,000 on leaving the princely service. He is also lavish, of course, in civic and national philanthropies, in accordance with the fine family tradition of his remarkable clan. If Rocky and there is a lot of ever gets to be president talk now that Mr. Ford might retire after two we can study years in view of his wife’s illness the power of presidential office in conjunction with great wealth. Just the other day, we watched the AP news ticker chew out the following items in close succession, feeding some kind of hunger in the American soul: —“As he walked back to the White House from worship service at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Ford told newsmen, ‘We’re in very good shape,’ in preparation for the national televised and broadcast anti-inflation address” . . . —“Tall, blond and wearing a new red chiffon dress and her mother’s borrowed long white gloves, 17-year-old Susan Ford made her public debut as a White House hostess before Washington’s diplomatic corps . .” -“The Fords have a new addition to their White House family a golden retriever named Liberty. After church Sunday morning, President Ford in his shirtsleeves, and Susan, in blue jeans, brought Liberty onto the south lawn for the - — — . - benefit of photographers . . This kind of thing goes on all the time; the presidency, you know. Everybody loves a fairy-tale and the White House life is a fairy-tale for millions. This is all right within reason; the presidency is a unifying force, like the flag. Mr. Ford is legitimately trying to harness the force now in the war on inflation. But where do you draw the line? Probably no other democracy is so vulnerable to a charismatic demagogue who has won the presidency, let us say, in time of turmoil, and follows the Nixon guideposts. That fine lady Margafet Chase Smith, onetime senator from Maine, suggests a constitutional amendment to provide a special election in the event that a president is impeached or resigns in the face of impeachment proceedings. Many Americans are concerned, she says, about a situation in which a discredited ex-President made the personal selection of his successor and received a sweeping pardon from the man he chose. Some will ponder the idea as Mr. Ford makes his dramatic personal explanation of the pardon to the House Judiciary Committee. �'Harry and Tonto': on the road, building a new life by Randi Schnur "I've been thinking about Lear these past he gave up his real estate, too. few weeks Know what happened to him? They foreclosed. That's life." Harry, the retired teacher whose New York apartment building is torn down to make room for one of those ubiquitous "fancy new parking lots," is about as close to being the stuff of which Shakespearean heroes are made as Paul Mazursky's film Harry and Tonto is to being a cinema classic. But Harry's implied analogy is not quite as overdramatic as it seems; both he and the old king must look to their now-grown children for support, and both (although for quite different reasons) find their arrangements ... to be vastly inadequate. Despite his occasional flashes of thinly-veiled self-pity, Harry's story is emphatically not a tragedy. While Lear's life was blown to pieces like a crumbling house in a hurricane, Harry builds a new framework for his life, even venturing west of Chicago for the first time in his 70-odd years. On the road Thrown out on the street (literally when won't vacate his apartment willingly, policemen carry him out to the sidewalk, — he armchair and all) by what his old neighbor Jacobs calls "those capitalist bastards," Harry picks up Tonto, his cat, and goes off to visit his son Bert's Emmm y \j]i q\ ; jy family in the suburbs. When their quarters begin to seem much too close, Harry migrates to the home of daughter Shirley in Chicago, where he again meets up with Bert's son Norman. A thorough nebbish, Norman nevertheless aspires to greater things, but he has just cheated on his macrobiotic diet and broken his vow of silence. Norman and Ginger (a runaway along for the ride, whose age changes to fit each new situation but who finally admits to being all of 15) accompany Harry out west, eventually leaving him to join a commune in Colorado (and a rather unappetizing, patronizing 15-year-old Melanie Mayron's Ginger turns out to be). The ancient hitchhiker and his feline fellow traveller continue out to California. There they find and help Eddie, the third and least self-sufficient child, who zips up his leather jacket in the hot Los Angeles sun as if trying to smother all painful recollections of how far beyond his means he lives. Conflicting dimensions Harry and Tonto has no real plot; it is less a story than a diary of the title characters' journey across America. The constants in its series of vignettes are Harry's wise, gentle, easygoing nature and ugly two-dimensionality of nearly everyone else he comes into contact with. As played by Art Carney, Harry is something very rare in American films: an old man who is neither an inhumanly omniscient patriarch nor an inhumanly idiotic, senile, doddering incompetent. Although co-stars like Ellen Burstyn (Shirley), Larry Hagman (Bert), Chief Dan George (an old medicine man Harry rooms with in a Las Vegas jail), and Geraldine Chaplin (a former lover who once danced with Isadora Duncan in Paris, and now glides across the floor of an Indiana nursing home) have certainly been known to do more than hold their own in previous roles, they seem never to attempt an escape from Mazursky's cartoonish characterizations. With a twitch of the lip much too subtle to be called a grimace, Carney expresses more emotion than the rest of the cast put together can manage to wring out of Mazursky's and Josh Greenfield’s entire script. Keeping solid There are points in the film at which Carney's character might easily have fallen as flat as the others'. Harry's conversations with his best friend ("Who's this, Tonto?" and he sings a line "Meow" "That's right, Tonto, Bing Crosby!") could have made cartoons out of both cat and master. But Tonto is no more intelligent or emotional than any other cat, and Harry is perfectly well aware of that fact. Their — — Magic Lantern relationship is sentimental without being either supernatural or mawkish. When Tonto dies in a Los Angeles animal hospital at the ripe old age of 11 (77 by human standards, his owner tells us), Harry's calmly whispered "So long, kiddo" exposes his soul more clearly than any bit of business Mazursky dreamed up himself. There are beautiful moments in Harry and Harry's turn around the room with Tonto — Jessie is the film's most moving and they all belong to Art Carney. sequence Many of its most pathetic scenes are his as well; the "drunk and disorderly" old man arrested for urinating on a Las Vegas sidewalk reminds us of the senile stereotype he had seemed so good at avoiding. The sophisticated contemporary caricatures Paul Mazursky gave us in films like Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice and Blume in Love have lost much of their wit here, and the burden of the movie has been thrown on Carney's shoulders. He handles it beautifully. Jay Boyar, whose space this usually is, is sick. ex-dancer — �'Evenings for New Music' Creative Associates will present the opening of the eleventh season of "Evenings for New Music” on Sunday, Oct. 20, at 8 at the Albright Knox Art Gallery.

Albee describes Peter as "a man in his early forties, neither fat nor gaunt, neither handsome nor homely. He wears tweeds, smokes a pipe, carries horn-rimmed glasses. Although he is moving into middle age, his dress and his manner would suggest a man younger." Jerry enters (Albee describes him as "a man in his late thirties, not poorly dressed, but carelessly. What was once a trim and lightly muscled body has begun to go to fat; and while he is no longer he handsome, it is evident that he once was — — ... great weariness") and the two begin talking.

I refer to nothing other than the genius of Stevie Wonder. Stevie's career started thirteen years ago when he was brought to the attention of Motown at age ten. By the time he was twelve, his album Fingertips had created a sensation a blind baby boy genius. Although his talent could never be suppressed, the restrictions of the Motown sound kept him like an iceberg, nine-tenths of his genius under wraps. Hits like “My Cherie Amour", "For Once In My Life", and "Uptight, Outtasite" are indicative of the period. Finally, when he was twenty-one (1971), he legally received all his childhood earnings, moved out and did some heavy thinking. The result was an independently produced album, totally his. Music of My Mind, the first of the outstanding chain he has produced since. He plays all the instruments, he wrote it, arranged it, helped engineer it, and most of all, it was his conception entirely. His innovative techniques, notably his use of the synthesizer, startled, shocked, and brought the music world to its feet, In 1972, Talkin' Book came out and Wonder went on tour with the Stones. His stage act and the album were both sensational. Three of the songs on the LP went on to become top of the chart hits; "Superwoman", "Superstition", and "Sunshine of My Life". Then, on August 6, 1973, Stevie was involved in a head on collision with a logging truck in North Carolina he lay near death in a coma. Luckily for the rest of the world, he survived. Not only did he survive, but only nine months later, fully recovered, he released Inner Visions. Wonder is now a recognized and permanent fixture in the music hall of fame. Stevie has, through the shape his life has taken, developed a unique world view, dealing with the spiritual, the sublime, and the need for and possibilities of world wide love. His beliefs suffuse every song with a depth that adds to his musical brilliance and sensitivity. His new LP Fullingness' First Finale, is the latest incarnation of those — — beliefs. There is no excuse to miss this concert. Everything Stevie does is history in the making. Tickets are available at Norton and Center Ticket outlets. To put it another way if there is a perfect master, it is Stevie Wonder the perfect master of his art. —Willa Bassen Roll with Butter — — Charfsteak House I 3417 Sheridan Camilleri lecture Drive Horn* Read, Amherst Coma aa you are it SwHt — Never any tipping BOULEVARD MALL r ~ i Page ten The Spectrum Friday, 18 October 1974 . .

He manages to cover all bases of musical production with acumen and a tireless versatility. Todd can suffle from the roles of producer, engineer, guitarist, singer-sonwriter with an uncanny ease of transformation. But tonight the ability of Rundgren's live musical presentation was the only topic in questions.

The Hotel Baltimore is scheduled for demolition soon. Elfing cavern The concert took place at Reilly Center, a euphemism for a cavernous, antiseptic gym. The trimmings and location appeared more suitable to the towering hulk of Bob Lanier sucking up rebounds than the wispy shadow of Todd Rundgren. From the onset, Rundgren seemed a celestial elf mysteriously materialized in New York's southern tier. Todd's hair was short, framing his skull, but lacking the tonsorial rainbow streaking that has become his trademark. A multi-colored Although it's less than terribly original (plot-wise, it could justifiably be called a rank steal from Saroyan's The Time of Your Life), Lanford Wilson's play The Hot L Baltimore is rather well written. Wilson draws his gang of eccentric lodgers affectionately and with considerable appeal. The pastel satin pajama outfit cloaked Todd in an ethereal manner rendering a sort of child-man Peter Pan presence.

Wilson knows that these days are gone, that a eulogy presumes that the person in question is dead. In a gentle way, the play is hard-nosed; in an understandable way, it is sad. Fortunately, The play is worth doing, definitely.

As the night clerk, Philip Knoerzer is quiet but effective, and very natural. Jeanne Keren's ethereal, sexuagenarian Southern belle is quite charming.

As "the Girl," who is unable to decide what she wants to be known as (she has regretfully discarded “Lilac Lavender"), Katy Clancy is cute, and unbearable.

Jackie, a streetcorner tough with a yen for organic foods instead of shakes and fries, is played energetically by Janet Greenburg in a much too stylized way, every movement and gesture looking as if it were calculated with a micrometer coy, caliper.

It is the plum part because it has so many potentially funny lines (more than everyone only to segue maiestically into the rousing "International Reel."

She said her throat was sore, and when she talked to the audience you could hear her voice cracking, but when she sang, it was, as always, clear as a bell and strong as an oncoming train. How to know how The crowd had the typical assortment of asses who obviously fantasized about hers. "Hey, Bonnie, do you know how yet?", one guy yelled out. "That's for me to know and you not to find out. (applause). What do you want, references or something? (more applause). Yea, / know how. (laughs and cheers)." One of Bonnie's many engaging qualities is her attitude about her role (or anybody's, for that matter) as a woman. Even if you haven't seen her in concert, you know from the songs she chooses to record where her head is at. Truly liberated, in the sense that she's willing to admit to the problems of both sides, while still asserting her own rights. "you said good-bye/l know it's true/ you Like "I Feel the Same" may be leaving me/ but I'm leaving you too/ you won't forget me/ or the sound of my name/ please believe I feel the same." After "Women Be Wise," a Sippie Wallace tune about not advertising your man, she said "look girls. You can advertise his faults as well as his virtues, right?" (applause). A male friend told me after the show that he didn't like her attitude. What's the matter feel threatened? — — Exits The band was possibly the best back-up I've seen her with in (except for Orleans, whom I refuse to compare with It anyone). was tight, rockin', full and deep. Each individual member was gifted both in back-up and break-taking, and many of the solos got their own justified rounds of applause. The set was planned very well, ending with Bonnie, finally standing on her feet, without the hollow body electric she had used for most of the songs (it was just right for her slide style, by the way), singing "You've Been In Love Too Long," one of her most dynamic songs. They left with an encore and a promise concert yet Slam-bang beginning The lights went out at 8:15 and the house was sold out. Jim Santella said a few words and then out they came. She started the set with "Love Me Like A Man," loud, heavy, funky, one big outrageous RUSH. Yea, Freebo was there, spiffed up in a rust leather jacket. Jai was playing gutsy keys, and she had a new lead guitarist named Will McFarland who was strumming on a forest green Strat. The number got cheers, whistles, stomps and a fitting response from the audience and entrances After a few waves at friends, stretches, joints, cigarettes and expectation rushes, the lights finally went out again. Jackson's band came on with flashlights, and the crowd roared even before the lights came back on. They started rockin' out right away, with "Red Neck screams. You could feel the energy in the air everybody was there to have a good time. The emphasis throughout the set was on the hard hitting numbers. Friend." The band is the same one that's on his new album. All of them are G-R-E-A-T! Larry Zack on drums, for instance, coming from this — — Page twelve . The Spectrum .

Which, of course, was not the case. David Lindley was wailing away on slide on that first song, but through the course of the show he proved his outrageous talents on fiddle and plain old lead as well. Jai Winding is the kind of keyboards man who can play anything trilling off jazz riffs, or flowing — country sounds, or fast and mean organ licks or the sound of cathedral bells (whoo!). And Doug Haywood, whose mellow bass is only half of his part his voice blends perfectly with Jackson's, and so adds the vocal harmony that adds so much to the songs. — Lost in a lost world Ah, and then there's the main attraction himself. Dressed in a plain white loose fitting shirt and soft charcoal grey stovepipes, straight hair framing his long thin face, the pensive prince, St. George against the dragon world, trying to keep it together in the face of the mad, the insensitive, the heartless. As he sang, the emotions seemed to pull themselves out, his simple voice and melancholy eyes the vehicle for everything inside. His stage presence is rather reserved he just kind of conservatively bounces to the beat, most of the time, although he did jump up and down to end a few of the rock songs. But it is just that kind of presence that enhances the images or rather, the lack of it the lack of pretense. He talked to the audience, but the stories that got staated seemed to drift off into the void, and one remembers the comments that centered around the songs most. They gave just a little bit more insight into the man like just before "Just Before The Deluge" (which is what the song is about). In his low, slightly rough voice, "I don't know about you, but I intend to survive it. I guess everybody does, really." — - — New songs, good vibes They did every song on the new album. In fact, he only did five that weren't "Red Neck Friend," "For Everyman," "Rock Me On the Water," "Doctor My Eyes" and "Take It Easy" (that was the encore). Freebo came out and played tuba on one of the new ones, "How about this you're making me very nervous." (He slaps my knee gently, the defenses come down some, he smiles slowly and slightly.) "Well, you shouldn't be. We're all just people." — band. Debby Ash and Michael Compagna head a funky blues band, Jimmy Clarke was there on keys and sax, there was a trombone on the Debby has a deep, husky, outrageous side and they were all wailing when they walked in. Bonnie and Freebo sat down at a blues voice table, Jackson was standing in a corner, the band members were circulating. To make a long story short, it finally came time to see who would come on stage. It didn't take too much encouragement, and Bonnie and Freebo were there. Excuse me for being so laudatory, but I just find it amazing that someone in the midst of a fity city tour, tired and hoarse, would still come up to do something like that. — — Finally friendly Now he starts to talk. "Do you write often?" "No, it takes awhile. You know, it takes hold of you every now and then, and you can't catch it, and then finally it builds up, it's all there and you can just "—write it all down in a half hour." "Yea. It's good if you can sustain it that long" (I had told him it usually takes me a month to get one out). People were coming up to Jackson, patting him on the back and shaking his hand, it was great, stupendous, fantastic, etc. He didn't really seem to believe it, so I asked him if he liked it. "Yea, I though it was really good. Dug it. Of course, there's really no way to tell, since we're up here and you're out there." "Have you ever gotten into 'literature'?" "Not really. Just scanned it." "Well, where the hell do you get your images from?" "My parents are both English teachers. I was brought up to speak real good English. Yea, good English. Now I try to stay away from it as much as I can." — Back to the roots "Baby, I Love You" Bonnie did three numbers with the band {Aretha made it famous), "Since I Fell For You," and "Love Me Like A Man." The band, amazingly, sounded really fine behind her, and maybe it was just the magic of the whole night that allowed it all to come together so well and quickly, (please, let's hear it for the Ash-Compagna band). Debbie sang behind Bonnie, then Bonnie sang behind Debbie, and they wailed them out together, and the place was hanging from the rafters. After a few shots of bourbon, Bonnie just couldn't do it anymore. They tried to get Jackson up on stage, but he was hiding in the bathroom. Will, Doug and Larry did come up, though, and Will sang "Midnight Hour, Six Days on the Road," stuff like that. some songs Will did some songs "Midnight country riffs, Jimmy Clarke banged out great keys and everyone was already in such a great collective head that it just topped it all off. Exhausted, utterly blown away, mind-boggled and contented, we left at three a.m. Two truly together people, talents, acts, and a night I will never forget. Well, there it is, I got it all down, now all I have to do is think, wonder and rush for about two weeks, which is probably how long it will take me to come down. — — — Surprise visit It was going down all over the stage that everybody was going to the Bona Vista, so naturally, after thanking Jackson and getting a beautiful mellow smile in return, I went too. It was unusually crowded, but I suppose the word had gotten around. The new WVSL/FM was the Dylan McMarvis recording some people who were playing there Quartet, Polla Millegan, and the Ash-Compagna and the Lost Buffalos — — Photos by Santos "Walkin' Slow." Everybody dug that, and Jackson was even smiling. After an incredible encore "Take It Easy" going into this vamp Lindley which one of the most incredible fiddle breaks of all in played everybody came back on stage. Bonnie and Jackson did a time number together, the name of which 1 don't know, and frankly don't remember anything past the fact that my body was involuntarily dancing to it, and that it sounded outtasite. I was backstage again, watching through the curtains. The show ended, and Bonnie and Jackson, as soon as they were off, hugged each other tight for about two minutes straight, getting off on the so good vibes. — Bonnie's new album Eventually, Bonnie caught sight of me. "—hey, I don't know about that interview—" "—yea, it’s all right, Bonnie—". Well, we started talking, anyway, mostly about her new album. It would take too long to put it down verbatim, but here's the story. Bonnie has been going over budget on her other albums, and Warner Bros, wanted her to use their people rather than the independent producers and not too well known back-up musicians she usually likes to use. She also usually does arranging and performing on the albums, as opposed to singing what was chosen on this one. Jerry Ragovoy has never produced a white singer before, and wasn't exactly sure how to handle it. Bonnie likes and respects Jerry, and she's not blaming anybody, but it's just that lack of time and money caused an end product that is not the kind of sound she's into or really wants to be associated with. So don't worry. This is not the direction Bonnie intends to head into. "Got You On My Mind" is an example of an idea that, if it had worked out, would have happened much differently. She wanted it to be kind of a joke "real cheesy" but it ended up sort of like a Carpenter's tune. On the other hand, she's also aware that the first three albums have been made with the same basic formula one Chris Smither, one Jackson Brown, one Eric Kaz, and is into trying different things. So I'm sure we can still and so on expect some new and maybe surprising but definitely good things from — — — — Bonnie in the future.

One starry eyed babe: "—are you going to stay in Buffalo tonight?—" His manager had told me, no formal interviews "—I'll just introduce you and you can take it from there." Well, I introduced myself, timidly, "—uh, excuse me, would you mind if I talked to you about your music? I'm really very harmless." "Yea, what do you want to talk about?" "Well, I write autobiographical songs, and I only know of three or four writers like that who have really made it, and you're one of them, so I'd like to ask you I suppose I should add I'm from the University paper."

Page thirteen �Chinese opera:homogeneous production by Alice Jacobson Spectrum Arts Staff "It is an occasion of great pride Chinese opera has finally come to the shores of Lake Erie. As the Chinese say, 'Between the four seas we are all brothers.' I know many of you come with a certain trepidation and that apprehension. Indeed, what you will see tonight will be a severe cultural shock." So warned emcee I. James before introducing the Institute of Chinese Performing Arts October 12 to a large Kleinhans Music Hall audience. "Chinese opera" is a misnomer, for singing is no more essential to the whole than are the elements of dance, music, mime, and the martial arts. What is puzzling to the uninformed spectator is what to make of an art-form that simply refuses to focus attention on any one of its aspects at any particular moment. The performance is so homogeneous that although the program tells us, for instance, that Yu Chi dances for the King of Ch'u, it is difficult to distinguish the event as William and thus require varying intonations, music first developed as abstract sound patterns, writes Scott. "The composer established his pattern of rhythm based on the juxtaposition of his tone lines, and his choice of word meaning was subsidiary to this. As balance, order, and arrangement of tonal patterns were the first ingredients necessary for both musical and poetic composition, tools were devised in the form of rhyme tables which classified words the same tonal having relationships precedence . . . Taking over the wooden instrument held in the left hand). The hu ch'in, a stringed instrument, is the two-piece accompaniment to the singing. There was one other stringed instrument used, as well as a woodwin so-na, (which resembles a keyless toy trumpet) main the compulsory cymbals and gong. and Chinese Character roles fall typically into certain fixed types in Chinese theatre. There are maidens, young until a kick to his chin sends the male warrior flipping backwards to his death. He exits, curling one of his ramlike headpiece's slender feather forward to symbolize defeat. The woman, meanwhile, tosses her pole like a baton and finally points to it blankly as if it were a beautiful toy. So the play ends, seemingly devoid of any moral statement concerning war.

Mimicking to the girl's face her coyness in picking up the bracelet, the matchmaker shimmies, feigns stepping on a tack, hopes backwards in mock pain, shimmies back again, and drops his own handkerchief. He dusts the bracelet gingerly, then discovers in horror that it's nothing but “souvenir cheap souvenir!" The girl eventually convinces him to arrange the match with the young man, and two exit happily — The last play, The Rise and Fall of a King, featured S.H. Chao as the fierce old warrior, a traditional character played in a panda-like mask and waist-length beard. After his defeat in battle, his servant contemplates the situation in a subtle dance in which she her passes sword repeatedly behind and in front of a candle. She rubs her fingers, touches them to her eyes, and spirals toward the ground, bringing the hem of her cloak to her face. Seductive swords something less "real" than the rest of the action. There is, in fact, no The servant, played by H.Y Hu, then overhears the guards differentiation between dance and speak of the demoralization of drama. In his book Traditional Chinese Plays, A.C. Scott claims that Chinese opera began, strictly speaking, in the nineteenth century, but owes its development to the lyrical k'un ch'u theatres, a sixteenth century form created for educated society. Capital drama When Kiangsu, the home province of the K' un-ch'u, was captured by T'ai-p'ing rebels, Peking was cut off from the southern region. Peking's resident troupes therefore began to adapt various local styles of telling popularly known tales. The result is modern ching-hsi, or "drama of the capital." Perhaps the element of the ching-hsi least familiar to Western audiences is its music. Although it sounds randomly pitched and even discordant, it is a highly conscious form. Based on the system of fixed pitches for spoken words, which are monosyllabic their camp because of enemy infiltration. At dinner she reports this information to her chief, then attempts to console him by emotional-intellectual contents of song and poetry, [they] affected the formulation and development of stage technique so that sound pattern allied to music and mime became a vital accessory to dramatic effect," Scott explains. Organic sound Thus, music, rather than serving merely as accompaniment for the singing, functions as an "organic part of dramatic expression allied with speech which is emphasized to create sound pattern and movement," he concludes. The leader of the orchestra, which at Kleinhans was composed of four or five members who sat downstage left, plays the drum and beats time with the clapper (a The maiden, for example, must tape her brow to give her eyes the proper slant and must place the strands of her floor-length silk wig so as to offset any flaws in the shape of her face.

I mused over this strange combination all the way to Kleinhans Music Hall last Wednesday night, not knowing what to expect. Herbie Hancock, for years one of the best keyboard men around, has finally achieved widespread popularity, and I had been told that his concert performances had suffered, as a result of his "selling out" to reach a larger audience. True, his last two albums have shown a trend toward commercialism, and he has appeared in this area three times in the last six months, but I wondered how any one of Hancock's talent could be unimpressive in concert. Perhaps an act has to be obscure to please a jazz audience. Minnie Riperton, former vocalist of the Rotary Connection, is currently making a stab at popular success, and a number of people, Stevie Wonder among them, seem determined to see her make it. Anyone who has heard her single "Reasons" will attest to her incredible vocal range (she once trained to be an opera singer), but I feared she was just ahother would-be star with yet another gimmick. When she took the stage, however, I was pleasantly surprised.

His music is a blend of funky rhytms and electronic jazz, and he is very much the star of the band, playing electric piano, clavinet, and three different synthesizers. I was disappointed that - Thursday; The performance consisted mostly of material from Hancock's last two albums, including "Palm Grease", Sly", Butterfly" and "Chameleon". At the end of the latter, Hancock exhibited a bit of showmanship of the type usually seen only at ELP concerts. Somehow remotely controlling his synthesizer, Hancock walked around the stage, mimicking a levitationist, coaxing sreeches out of the instrument until at the very end, the howl reached a peak, a bomb exploded next to him, and the band walked off under a veil of smoke.

Throughout the concert Rundgren engaged in catch banter, casting amusing aspersions about the Grateful Dead and pop festivals, and after taking a spill and landing squarely on his ass, Todd quipped, "I told you this was our fall tour." On "Open My Eyes," a bouncy Who sounding number from Todd's Nazz days, he goofed on Townsend by simulating Pete's windmill guitar gestures. It was Utopia's second concert in a forty city, two month tour. Although there were some small hassles at the beginning of the concert, these should be ironed out and eliminated as the tour progresses. Kudos should be extended to all members of Utopia for their excellent play and execution. Columbus Day in Clean supports the contention that Todd Rundgren is a wizard and a true star. It was certainly enough to answer that nagging question, who is Rodd Tundgren anyway. Well, old sport, Rundgren is obviously the brightest talent in rock.

I'm not referring to an obnoxiously cute group nor a powerful one that will grab the rock scene and change it dramatically in its own image. Mainly because in Everyone Is Everyone Else, Barclay James Harvest tries many old styles as well as adding some new twists. BHJ seems to be striving to gain their own originality but aren't sure which way to go. Actually they have succeeded in pulling off a subtle reshuffling of some other artists' material which goes by almost unnoticed. Barley James Harvest is one of those groups that you could almost swear you've heard before. That is, almost. Like many new groups trying to break into the music world, they want to have a successful "formula" or sound. So, they look to already established groups. Unlike these other new groups, BHJ doesn't overtly steal the "formula" but reorganizes it and takes small parts. Their claim to originality lies more in the arrangement of the music than in totally new directions in music. At times, for example, their electric background seems to be inspired by Genesis. The soft lifting electric guitar often builds up into an overpowering frenzy. But to say they sound like Genesis is wrong because the rest of the song, that is the lyrics, vocals and percussion, doesn't fit the "formula". "Paper Wings" is a good example of where they rearranged old material. They start out sounding like the Beatles in "Across the Universe" then they ease into some light electric guitar that doesn't particularly sound like anyone. From there they go into an instrumental, whose background is again reminiscent of Genesis. Since AM rock stations look for songs that are Ikaortmtufienl Ron Wood, I've Got My Own Album To Do (Warner Brothers) >:N. 4:M. liW. Whenever a music group finally hits the big time, its members usually try to evolve their talents by recordings solo albums. This is done for two basic reasons: to cash in on a good thing and have the group serve as a security blanket to fall back on. Ron Wood's new solo album definitely fits in the latter category. A perfect platter of antiquity, little Ronnie's love child is as bold as brass but otherwise boring. The guitarist for Faces, Wood has quite an impressive assembly of names on his I've Got My Own Album To Do. The basic band is Ian McLagan on keyboards; Willie Weeks and Andy Newmark of Donny Hathaway and Sly Stone fame, playing bass and drums; and the one and only Keith Richard, courtesy of Rolling Stone Records, on guitar. Not only has Wood pulled the oldest trick in the book by name dropping but also has the ugliest album cover of the year. Even his mug shot smack in the center is enough to make you puke. With all this going for him, he should be the next recipient of the Fickle Finger of Fate Award. Although appearances may be deceiving, this one serves as a forewarning. What else can you expect from the dynamic influence of Faces and Rolling Stones. All the cuts seem to sound like Faces, the Rolling Stones, or a combination of both. What a miss match. "Act Together", a typical Faces type number, has potential as a good song if done by someone else. The melodic flow of this cut is completely severed by the incoherence of the band. Most of the time they are in discord: guitar notes too sharp, organ sounds flat, and the drum rhythm is stagnant. Trying to come off as Rod Stewart, Wood falls flat on his face (and sounds that way too) with the vocals.

Given half a chance, BHJ could become a famous group on the AM scene whose tunes will be whistled and sung by multitudes of music maniacs. They appear to have hit on a likebale, listenable blend of British rock injected with a small dose of fresh talent. Whether they make it or not remains to be seen. —David Rivet Let's get our shit together. Sure won't hurt you none, to try. Too bad he doesn't follow his own advice. Of course, there is a perfect Stones number in "Am I Groovin You". Great for Jagger's image, it does absolutely nothing for Wood's. The main riff in the rhythm section is so basic that it's guaranteed to g“ive you a migraine headache. There are no harmonies, only monotonous thumpings with little harmonica interludes. As for vocals, Wood might as well be reading. Nothing salvagable here. Eureka! There is one number worth saving. "Crotch Music", the last cut on the LP, is the only thing having any listenable qualities. Completely instrumental, it demonstrates a spark of Ron Wood's genius. Though a very nice piece, it's too bad the rest of the album is so shitty. I realize that Wood was out to get a Face lift, but it appears that he got an egg shampoo. -Susan l/Vos Hillel Shabbaton DENNIS PRAGER “Why Bother Being Jewish’ 5:30 pm 20th at Oct. followed by a discussion throughout the song, the band going from heavy to semi-soft.

In several letters that have appeared concerning the day care controversy, day care has been claimed by Sparky Alzamora as a right. This is not so. In a few socialized countries, there are public day care centers supported by the government. In these countries, day care is a right. In America, it is not a right but a service provided by private and semi-private institutions. One day, hopefully, day care will be socialized in America but until that day it is a consumer service. And as such, it must be paid for by individuals. There is no more right to day care than there is a right to be able to buy meat in a stqre. If the store is out of meat or does not sell it, you cannot buy it there. It has been charged that denying day care to student parents denies them an equal opportunity to education. This is not so. Everyone is given the same opportunity for an education. It is the individual’s responsibility to make arrangements to attend class. If student parents demand day care so that they may attend class, by the same reasoning students living off campus could demand bussing to campus so that they to may attend class. In order to insure equal educational opportunities to minorities and the disadvantaged, grants and scholarships are offered. Possibly, student parents could go the same route for help. As a service, though, day care should be available to State University at Buffalo student parents. I suggest two or. possibilities: Non-parent students should not be asked to support the Center since they are totally uninvolved. Day Care Center funds should be allocated from student fees on a basis proportional to the number of parents patronizing the center. Obviously, this would not be sufficient to support the center. To supplement the funds,-the center could be set up on a co-op basis. Non-paid parents would assist in the center on a revolving schedule. From the number of parents utilizing the center as suggested in the letters-to-the-Editor, this would distribute the burden sufficiently. Both parents could help in the center. In this age of vaunted feminine liberation, male ignorance of child care should be a rarity. The funds allocated from student fees would pay the salaries of a few permanent coordinators. While this program might not completely eliminate the cost to the individual, it would certainly drastically reduce it. Whatever the program utilizes, one thing must be kept in mind. There is no such thing as a free luch. Every benefit received is paid for directly or indirectly. It must be paid for whether from federal funds or out of the private pocket. The question is whether parents alone will pay or will non-parents end up paying also? . . . . .

Form letters are being distributed to University personnel asking them to give contributions and wear buttons provided by the Center to show their support. “Cut-backs in vital university programs our intellectual and social jeopardize responsibilities,” the letter states. “The importance of a properly funded and properly staffed Day Care Center to the University cannot be overstressed.” ' responsibilities. “In particular, the loss of the center would affect women and ethnic minorities above all. Support of the Day Care Center should be seen as part of the university’s committment to Affirmative Action,” the authors wrote. In a telephone interview with The Spectrum, Dr. Lawler said the Senate Committee on Day Care was comprised of individuals “very much interested in early childhood education.” The need for a Day Care Center demonstrates that day care has become a Kathline Cassiol, director of the Day Care Center, is enthusiastic about the increased faculty involvement in the issue, and has already received some contributions as a result of the letter. The Day Care buttons, which will be paid for by a portion of the contributions, will be available next week. Foundation loan The U.B. Foundation has also agreed to loan the Day Care Center $1,000 to offset expenses, including partial payment of salaries and food for program. But the reimbursement check is 13 weeks behind, he indicated, and the federal government owes the Center $1,600. When the check arrives, $ 1,000 will go directly to the U.B. Foundation. The loan was requested by President Robert Ketter to help out the Day Care Center, Mr. Fogel pointed out, who doubted any interest will be charged. More support The Day Care Center has been gaining support among other segments of the University and the community. At its mass meeting/birthday party last week in Haas Lounge, representatives from the major social responsibility for higher education, he Women’s Studies College, Greenfield Street Restaurant, Puerto Rican Studies, Graduate Student explained. He said there was a “growing national need for Employees Union, Revolutionary Student Brigade, trained personnel and research” in the area, and that and the U.B. Vets’ Club expressed their support.

Letter officers: �Be gmnin tomorrow Low-cost dental care to be available on campus by John A Fink Spectrum Staff Writer Comprehensive dental care will be on campus, beginning this Saturday, to University students at a cost within reach of student budgets. The Saturday Morning Operative Clinic will be open for the next 24 Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 12 noon in the main Dental Clinic in Capen Hall. The 24 weeks is a trial period for the clinic. If this pilot program, funded by the Department of Restorative Dentistry, proves successful, Sub-Board will finance its continued operation. Under the program, students will receive restorative dentistry at fees about 40 percent below those of outside dentists, because students will be charged only for the cost of materials used, said A1 Campagna, director of Sub-Board’s Health Care Division. available Students only The clinic will be open only to students for now, but Mr. Campagna said services might later be extended to others, including student family members. Services offered range from oral examinations and fluoride treatments to home care instruction and simple restorative procedures Students who receive treatment at the clinic will be on a six month recall for re-examinations. Previously, the only dental service available to students was the Student Dental Clinic in Michael Hall. However, this clinic was concerned only with preventive dental procedures or proper oral maintenance. Students requiring more complicated care, including emergency restorative treatment, had to be referred either to the Dental School or to local practitioners. This often created problems. In several cases, there were conflicts between appointment times and a student’s classes or work. This resulted in delayed treatment or no attention at all. Problems noticed Campagna originated the idea of a student clinic after several of these problems were brought to his attention. Sub-Board responded by undertaking a student opinion survey. Questions asked concerned whether or not the Michael Hall Clinic was sufficient; if a student needed restorative care during the school year, and if so, where it was obtained; and if students would use such a clinic if available. A random sampling of eight percent of the student population revealed an overwhelming desire for the stablishment of a comprehensive dental health clinic. Additional impetus for the clinic was provided by the fact that many students cannot afford the traditional fee structure of private professionals, said Mr. Campagna. He brought the problem to the » attention of John Hannibal III of the Department of Restorative Dentistry, coordinator of the Saturday Operative Clinic. “I had the idea but John had the vehicle to start it,” Mr. Campagna explained. Their combined efforts resulted in the establishment of the clinic. Interested students should contact either Mr. Campagna, in Room 312, Norton Hall, or go directly to the Michael Hall Clinic. Referrals to the Saturday clinic will be made only after this is done. Daisy Herman’s ragtime is from Buffalo’s happy past by Glenn Englander Spectrum Staff Writer The IRC Ellicott Area Council will be presenting Mildred “Daisy” Herman at the Ellicott Coffeehouse, on Sunday, Oct. 20. “Daisy” is a 76-year-old ragtime and honkytonk pianist. A graduate of Buffalo’s Lafayette High School at age 15, Daisy’s career began when she played background music for silent movies at The Pastine Theater on Grant St., when on opening day, the regular piano player didn’t show up for work. The theater owner’s nephew ran to Daisy’s home, telling her Jo grab some music and get down to the theater. “But what do I play?” asked the 15-year-old Daisy. “If it’s a newsreel, play marching music. If somebody dies, play something sad,” was the reply. Earning Dad’s wages Daisy earned two dollars for that first matinee, the same wages her father received for a day’s work. After hitting the ivories for another two dollars at the evening show, she decided to work in the picture show for the summer, playing along with the movies whether or not she had seen it already. She also worked a couple of blocks away, on Grant and Potomac, at the Ellen Terry. After the summer she changed jobs and worked in a Buffalo music shop, Waterson, Berlin (as in Irving) and Schneider. Daisy once played with the Buffalo Philharmonic while working at a dance studio for an arrangement of a ballet, “The I WINES LIQUORS | We are happy to be the Community Liquor Store Complete selection of — Domestic — & Liquors Imported Wines & Cordials port Highway 2345 Millers Getzville, N.Y. 14068 Getzville Plaza 688-6666 Dance of the Hours.” It was conductor John Lund who gave her the confidence she needed, and soon after, she played at the Statler Hilton Hotel. Daisy traveled with a vaudeville act called “The Kid Cabaret.” Her booking agents, McMehan and Dee, were big in Buffalo at the time. Daisy explained that “Mr. Dee” looked like W.C. Fields. “He wore the checkered suit, derby hat, a big fat diamond on his tie and a big nose to match. I was ashamed to be seen with him. Everytime we went anywhere I would hide behind him,” Daisy laughed. ‘Yes sir!’ Although Daisy is getting on in years, as is her house, which dates back to 1808, she still has all the gumption and pizzazz that show biz requires. “From the time 1 was 65, I wouldn’t join the senior citizens crowd,” Daisy declared, though admitting this was a belief contrary to that of many of her friends. She dyes her hair, but not to hide her years. “With a face like this, there’s no guessing of age,” Daisy both happily and sadly said. “There’s nothing like being egotistical,” she continued, “especially when 100 busy people take time out to come to a brithday party that’s held for you.” Daisy loves cats. “I have this one Persian Cat who weighs 18 pounds. He stands on the piano bench, looks around for me, and hits the keys.” Daisy also reflected on her aprents, who had “no money, but plenty of love. My parents were quite young when I turned them into parents and 1 was an only child. When I was 20 years old, 1 came home unexpected news. ‘You fools!’ I said. Must because I’m on the road you don’t know how to behave’.” “After all,” Daisy laughed, “my mother was 39 and I thought she was an old woman.” As to the present, Daisy keeps busy. She has just had published a book of nostalgic poems, Daisy’s Garden of Rose* and Daffydils which earned her the title “poet-laureate” for the Town of Amherst, as well as September’s town “Citizen of the Month.” She still plays piano, having done her own ragtime arrangement of “St. Love Blues’’ at the Hamburg-Cayuga County Fair. She didn’t get top billing, but the local newspaper praised her more :ormer also holds certain opinions on various political figures. Harry Truman: “He was like my father; he called a spade a spade.” Rose Kennedy: “She is a great lady to me.” Richard Nixon: “I can see Nixon being cruel and smiling at the same time, I speak from experience. 1 had an uncle just like him.” Gerald Ford: “He makes me think of Charlie McCarthy on Bergen’s knee. When he asked for guidance, God had his hearing aid shut off or something.” Mildred “Daisy” Herman also provides a short, sweet description of herself: “Everyone has their sorrows, but 1 never take mine with me.” Daisy Friday, 18 October 1974 The Spectrum Page nineteen . int i -sdoloO 81 . muVoeqS nrlT nesjJdjjia stt*? �Carrel enjoys working wltha Idler.

Instead they took away the ice, raised the baskets and brought out the wrestling rings. That traveling road show “Super Pro Wrestling” was in town, and the main attraction was Bruno Sammartino against Barron Scicluna for the World title. Sammartino won the match, retaining the world title he has held on and off for the last I 1 years. Most everyone who owns a television set has, at one time or another, witnessed this phenomena. Many young adults have brown up watching the antics of Sammartino, Bo Bo Brazil (inventor of the famous Co-Coa Butt), 600 pound Haystacks Arnold Scoland” and Calhoun, the “Golden Boy many others. — UB SWIM TEAM presents • TONIGHT • Friday, Oct. 18th THE MARX BROS. starring in THE BIG STORE 7-9 "11 pm Room 147 Diefendorf SHOWS AT $1.00 Donation - Tickets available at Norton Ticket Office or at the door That’s show-biz At times “wrestling” has offended its viewers with displays that simulate some of the worst kinds of sado-masochism. In recent years, the act has included concealed weapons and red planted substance, concealed on the performers bodies that burst and give the appearance of actual bloodshed. We all know that this “wrestling” is just an act. If human beings were to do, in reality, what the “wrestlers” simulate as part of their performance, there would be considerable damage to life and limb. Of course, at times the phoniness gets so blatant to offend the viewers. But wrestling usually does as offend. It simply amuses and entertains. Many not Americans, realizing that what they are viewing is not athletics at all but show business, find all the throwing, kicking, biting, punching, ranting and raving simply uproarious. Small crowd Even though Wednesday night's bout was for the championship, only 700 fans (the Aud holds CUP THIS COUPON THIS WEEKEND at - Oct. IS & 19 17,000) were on hand for the bout. One fan explained that the small turnouts are due to overzealous promoters. She said these promoters advertise big name bouts that don’t come off and schedule bouts between the same two wrestlers week after week. Things aren’t bad everywhere, though. Bouts at New York City’s Madison Square Garden still pack the house. Sammartino has said big New York crowds spur him on to a better performance. However, the lack of the crowds at the Auditorium didn’t stop the diehards from enjoying themselves. Most of the onlookers, a motley crew if ever there was one, claim they came simply because they enjoy watching the varied talents of each wrestler. One woman, whose daughter had a large stuffed animal with the autographs of many wrestling greats on it, emphasized how it took great skill to fall, hit and move properly so that it looked convincing. However, she claimed that some of the bouts, known as grudge matches, were for real. 29 more As for the 37-year-old Sammartino, his fans will be glad to know that retirement is not yet among his plans. The European immigrant has been wrestling for 29 years, and barring injury, would like to wrestle for 29 more. He said he really had to get psyched to beat Scicluna. He knew he’d win, but acting it out can be tough. Money has ceased to be a factor for the champ and wrestling has become more entertainment than profession for him. The only drawback, he claims, are long periods on the road away from his wife and three children. Phony or not, professional wrestlers look the part. Who would dare incur the wrath of someone built like mighty Bruno? "1 the. | T || &> /V THE RA THSKhl.LER - Clip this ad & save 50c on the cost of a ticket.

According to a survey of nearly 200,000 incoming freshmen at 360 schools by the Cooperative Institution Research Project (CIRP), 42 percent of the students reported that they resided with their parents. The primary reason for commuting is financial benefits, concluded a study in the late 1960’s by Robert Frenske and Craig Scott of almost 33,000 students at 800 different colleges. These “local attenders” lived at home while commuting to classes and were mostly from lower family income groups. Small difference Yet a study this year by Elizabeth Suchar for the College Entrance Examination Board revealed that the actual difference in college costs between commuters and residents is only about $300 per year. Some of the difference, if not all of it, Ms. Suchar pointed out, may be eliminated by higher transportation costs that resident students do not have to pay, making the actual financial commitment of both commuters and residents about the same. Nonetheless, financial considerations obviously play a big role for commuters. A study done at Wayne State University in Michigan found that the typical commuter at that school spent six hours a day commuting or working. With that many hours involved, these students usually scheduled courses grouped together and often left the campus immediately after classes. With such a schedule, commuters often have little time for normal college-related extracurricular activities and for developing relationships with other students and faculty. Less socializing A number of studies have tried to discover what effects this has on the typical commuter student. Two studies done in conjunction with the American Council on Education explored the impact of college on commuters. In one study conducted at 13 liberal arts colleges, Arthur Chickering and Ellen Kuper discovered that commuters participated in a narrower range of activities, had a smaller set of friends and tended to have more formal relationships with members of the opposite sex. The Chickering-Kuper study also found that resident students tended to change more rapidly in non-intellectual areas than commuters, because the residents saw s sharp contrast with values held at home. While away from their home environment, they more readily accepted value changes. This was supported by the Wayne State study, which in 1969 concluded that the psychological atmosphere for such changes was better for residents, as commuters generally got little support from home for new political and social ideas. This study also found that commuters tended to draw their friends from neighborhood and high school social circles rather than from the academic setting as the resident did. Fear rejection In a more recent psychological study of commuters, John Kysar of the University of Illinois discovered that many commuter parents are specifically fearful of their college-bound children rejecting family values and tend to compromise their misgivings by urging their children to commute rather than live at college. Kysar supported the establishment of mental health facilities for commuters, who, because of a lack of reassurance from a large peer group, may have more difficulty working through identity crises which often occur at the college level. Kysar even suggested that commuters may tend to put off crucial decisions because of hostile attitudes on the part of parents. Kysar’s study revealed feelings of inadequacy in regards to members of the opposite sex, self-doubt, fear of failure and a reluctance to commit energy and resources to the college experience. Kysar concluded that many students commute in order to delay the normal development process of leaving home, and that such students often rationalize their decision by citing economic factors. CUNY Educational quality remains same with open admissions Two recent studies have indicated that the City University of New York (CUNY) controversial open admissions program has not become a “revolving door” for disadvantaged students and that there has been no lowering of academic standards. The program guarantees a college scat for every New York City high school graduate. Similar open admissions programs are found in state-financed schools across the country. In announcing the new studies, CUNY Chancellor Robert J. Kibbee said, “The dire forecasts of those who saw open admissions as a ‘revolving door’ have simply not materialized. Even more consequential is the companion study which shows that, to the extent grades are an indication of academic standards, there has been no decline in City University collegiate standards attributable to open admissions.” Two studies The first study was authored by David E. Lavin, associate professor of sociology at Herbert H. Lehman College of the CUNY system; the second by Dean Lawrence Podell of the University’s Office of Program and Policy Research. The Lavin study found that 52.4 percent of the 34,398 first-year students who were attending CUNY colleges in 1970 had, after seven semesters, either received degrees or were still enrolled. These figures, broken down over type of college (four-year or community) and secondary school grade averages, were comparable to or better than national norms aftet eight semesters as reported in an American Council on Education study. Among the findings of the Podell study was a comparison of grade distribution at two different one with a high proportion of four-year schools and the other without. The admissions students open study showed that in 1972 the college without a significant number of open admissions students gave proportionately the same or higher grades in six out of seven departmental areas from the open admissions school either remained constant or fell markedly over the same period of time. “There has been no pattern of inflation of - grades that could be attributed to the advent ofopen admissions,” concluded Dr. Podell. The Professional Staff Caucus (PSC), CUNY’s faculty union, commended the school’s administration for releasing the studies and said, “We are hopeful that the administration will act on them.” In the past, the PSC, a group friendly to the concept of open admissions yet critical of what they consider premature claims of success for the program, has criticized the administration for allowing “myths” about open admissions to continue. The most dangerous myth, according to the PSC, was that “open admissions is being adequately managed and adequately funded by the City and State.” Referring to the study on dropout rates, PSC President Belle Zeller was quoted by Higher Education Daily as saying, “We take no comfort in the allegation that the dropout rale is in line with the lowest common denominator, the national rates.” Dropouts Dr. Zeller contended it would have been more appropriate to compare those who would have been admitted anyway under selective admissions with those who were only admitted because of open admissions. For that comparison the dropout rate for “regular” students was 36 percent and for open admissions students 56 percent, according to Zeller. The PSC suggested two major “long overdue” measures to be taken by the school: (1) strict adherance to class size limitations and (2) support for an instructional resource center to develop and disseminate new teaching, testing, and counseling materials and techniques suited to open admissions students. “The University knew at the time of its inauguration of open admissions that the widespread policy of sink-or-swim was inconsistent with a genuine commitment to universal higher education,” said Zeller. “These figures (just) released .. . bear out what we have feared all along, that the University has not yet fulfilled that promise.” �Committee reviews next College charter by Richard Korman Campus Editor Clark luestions contributions Conflict of interest charged would vote on the facts.” He questioned the timing of Mr. Javits recent Spectrum Staff trip to Cuba noting that the trip was made only five November election when “he could Democratic U.S. Senate Ramsey Clark sharply weeks before the or ten years ago.” criticized his opponent Jacob Javits Friday for have gone five accepting a $15,000 campaign contribution from Nelson Rockefeller during a sidewalk news Street campaigning Before his news conference, Mr. Clark made a conference in Buffalo of the Bailey-Kensington shopping Mr. Clark said the acceptance of the walking tour several food stores, Mr. Clark After visiting district. contribution showed a “clear conflict of interest by on several items.

At the first IRC meeting for 1974-75, representative Robert Axelrod proposed that Mr. Weber allegedly made an illegal overexpenditure of funds in appropriating money for the Minority Affairs concert several weeks ago. It is estimated that IRC lost $4000 on the concert, but Mr. Axelrod declared that “even if the concert had been a success, it would still be a misappropriation and illegal withdrawal of capital funds.” Mr. Weber stated categorically that “there was no misappropriation of funds,” explaining that the Executive Committee entered, in good faith, into what it thought would be a money-making operation. “It was our intention to make a for the Minority Affairs budget,” Mr. Weber said. He also hoped the concert might ease some of the racial tensions that he claimed have been building on campus steadily. “As regards the money,” Mr. Weber explained, “we can say that the money was a temporary advance to the minority affairs budget, but in fact what we did, for the simplicity of bookkeeping, was withdraw the money from capital ■ funds. We can take it out of activity fees and we can put it back to eliminate any possible allegations of wrongdoing.” Mr. Weber admitted, in hindsight, that there were some errors of judgement, but assured the Council that despite the $4000 loss, “no IRC fee payer would see a marked decrease of activities because of it.” When Mr. Weber finally called for a vote, the motion was withdrawn and replaced instead with a motion for a motion for a vote of confidence. The motion was passed unanimously with one abstention. IRC’s financial conflict with Clifford Furnas College was also discussed. According to the approved minutes of the May. 7 meeting, the Weber administration voted to give CFC members a $9 discount on their $20 fee. Because college members Forecast Enrollment drop predicted by Ilene Dube Feature Editor New York State full-time undergraduate enrollments at two and four year institutions will be two thirds of what they are today by 1990, according to a report of the New York State Education Department. Based on live births and number of expected high school graduates, the report predicts a continuing increase until 1980, when enrollments are expected to begin falling. The predictions do not necessarily indicate changes in interest or motivation, but may have a lot to do with rising tuition costs, explained Daniel Hamberg, Chairman of the Department of Economics. General inflation is reducing the number of students in colleges and/or shifting enrollments to less expensive schools. Dr. Hamberg said. “Inflation makes it difficult to meet the bill” of education, he added. Many of the Ivy League Schools have not yet been affected by the “shifting composition” from private to public schools, maintained Dr. Hamberg. Persons who can afford these schools have solid enough income sources and are not affected by inflation and the declining stock market, he explained. Because of attempts to “develop a mixed student population,” many of these students attend school on scholarships. If the economy continues along its current trend, however, these scholarships might be discontinued. The economic hardship has stabilized enrollments at two-year schools, possibly because of what Dr, Hamberg calls the “vocational binge.” Increasing numbers of potential students are opting for trade education and junior colleges. “The rewards of a college education have fallen for the rewards of non-college occupations,” Dr. Hamberg said. Locally, the State University College at Fredonia was hit by a decline in enrollments this year, leaving over 300 empty places. The State University at Buffalo has had an increase this year, however, and assistant Executive vice-president Charles Fogel does not believe the University will be affected by a decline. “Our acceptance ratio is of such a magnitude that we will always have enough students to accept,” he explained. This year, for example, there were 16,000 applications for 2100 positions. Another spokesman from Admissions and Records said that admissions requirements would not necessarily be lowered if enrollment drops. Currently, there are 21,869 full time equivalents (FTE) enrolled in the State University at Buffalo. The projected enrollment for 1980 is 28,569 FTEs. Mr. Fogel predicted that enrollment would stabilize during the 1980’s, although he acknowledged that the rate may drop. The projection figures from his office are used for construction and planning. The Amherst Campus was designed with the 1980 enrollment predictions in mind, and further construction will not take place until adequate use is made of the existing space, Mr. Fogel maintained. T. Edward Hollander, Deputy Commissioner for Higher Education, and author of the New York State Education Department report, was concerned with utilization of university “plants” in 1990. He mentioned several possible methods of serving “new” student populations, including inmates of correctional institutions, mothers returning to college, veterans, foreign students, and people from industrial corporations and labor unions who wish to continue their education.

A motion was proposed at the meeting to rescind that offer on the grounds that the IRC constitution made such an agreement illegal. Parliamentarian Robert Burrick pointed out that under Robert’s Rules, the affirmative vote could not be reconsidered “if the committee has begun work on the referred matter.” If CFC had even started budget planning, that would have to be considered referred matter, Mr. BurricK explained. Fee stands The ruling was upheld by the Office of Student Affairs and the $11 IRC fee for CFC members stands as passed. In other business, Richard Cohen announced his resignation as IRC treasurer. He explained that because of the enormous amount of time required to adequately fill his obligations as treasurer, he could not undertake his scholastic responsibilities.

Representatives from NFS, AEC, the Sierra Club and Theodore Hullar, Erie County’s first Commissioner of Environmental Quality, debated the effects this “nuclear laundry” will have on the city of Buffalo and citizens of the surrounding both high and low-level radioactive wastes. Someone asked if the nuclear waste of the eastern United States will continue to be stored at Springville. Mr. Clark said the waste will be stored not longer than five years as a liquid. After this period of time, the wastes will be solidified, according to NFS and the AEC, and stored in this state for not more than 10 years. The solid waste will then be given to the AEC, which still hasn’t found a place to store it. Strontium-90 and Cesium-137, two radioactive wastes, need to be isolated • by Diane R. Miller Spectrum Staff Writer real hazards to the that there is “no and environment” evidence for any detrimental effects” from the plant, Dr. Resnikoff presented evidence to the contrary. He pointed out that the plant uses the entire Cattaraugus Creek as its “sluice pipe,” and affects the wilderness area surrounding Cattaraugus Creek. On the average, according to AEC inspection reports, the plant’s temporary workers received a whole-body radiation dose of 1.73 to 2 rems (a unit of biological dose of radiation), an amount not considered harmful, but the exposure is equivalent of presents “no area. NFS, owned by billionaire financier J. Paul Getty, chemically extracts uranium and plutonium from nuclear power reactors fuel rods. Situated 40 miles south of Buffalo just over the Erie County line, the chemical plant was the nation’s first commercial fuel reprocessing facility. Defends plant According to NFS spokesman James R. Clark, expansion of the plant will help stretch this country’s natural resources, reduce the need for mining and solve the problem of what to do with some nuclear wastes. Only three to four percent of the country’s power plants presently use nuclear fuel, according to Dr. Hullar. Mr. Clark estimated that if his plant were allowed to expand, 18% of the power plants would use reprocessed fuel. Marvin Resnikoff, However, Club, questioned the Sierra representing the basic need of the plant, pointing out that the recovered uranium will not be used until 2020. “No U.S.-recovered uranium has gone through any plant in the U.S.,” Dr. Resnikoff said. He feels that the uranium should be buried as it is in Canada. The value of the recovered plutonium is the only reason for the existence of the plant. Thus far, the plant has extracted 2000 kilograms (over two tons) of plutonium, but only a small amount has gone to test places. However, 500 kilograms (at least half a ton) has been used for the manufacture of weapons, including 35 kilograms that went to West Germany and Japan, enough for five bombs, according to Dr. Resnikoff. Neither of these countries has breeder reactors (for the production of nuclear energy). “What are they doing with this plutonium?” Dr. Resnikoff asked. Stores wastes In addition to separating out plutonium and uranium, the plant is also used to store ■■ ■■ r . .. . , not allowed to see their past personnel records. Mr. Clark explained that they were entitled to see all past radiation exposure records, but the men explained that all they had been shown were records of total exposure. Here, Dr. Resnikoff pointed out that environmental offices do not monitor dosage records, but rely on what the plants themselves record. Records show that employees at NFS were exposed to 2.7 rems in 1968 and 7.2 rems in 1971; the figures are this low only because the plant hired transient workers, he added. Asked if NFS keeps employee health records on the incidence of cancer and death due to cancer, Richard Black of AEC said no studies have been done on the relationship of cancer and work at NFS. Strontium-90, a waste handled by NFS, has been shown to cause bone marrow disorders due to calcium interference and breast cancer but this has not been widely publicized. After several questions from the audience, Mr. Clark admitted that one employee of NFS had died from cancer, but claimed the death was related to heavy cigarette smoking. He also admitted that at present one man is being treated for cancer, but said this too is related to smoking. Poor financial status Although Mr. Clark said NFS is “financially sound” and turning away customers,” Dr. Resnikoff presented evidence to the contrary: according to the Wall Street Journal NFS lost $500,000 in 1969 and $5 million in 1972, the year it was closed. Mr. Scott also asserted that NFS is financially unsound. He said it will cost $17 million to get rid of the wastes presently stored in the tanks, and if NFS goes bankrupt this will be paid by the taxpayers. NFS has not been profitable, and “a company that is not profitable, cuts corners,” he contended. AEC appeared to be in support of NFS, and the Sierra Club was left to fend for itself. The Sierra Club described its role as one of a “watchdog” on safety records and other issues. AEC has refused to help the Sierra Club in this role, according to Dr. Resnikoff, who said Mr. Black told him he was “too busy” and “underpaid.” The methods of operation used by NFS are supposedly checked by federal and state agencies. However, the dual role AEC now plays as both regulator and promoter of nuclear power was questioned. Mr. Black reported that a bill to separate these two functions passed in the House of Representatives two weeks ago. , from the environment for 1000 years before they become harmless. Plutonium-239 takes 250,000 years to become harmless. The tanks that contain the liquid nuclear waste from this plant sit “a mere 40 feet above the water supply” in Springville, Dr. Resnikoff maintained. Already, tanks on the Savannah River in South Carolina have leaked, he said. Dr. Resnikoff also asked those at the meeting to consider the number of trucks that will be bringing in waste to the plant and the possibility of accidents and mishaps. “There may be 1500 trucks a year, he stated, Although NFS maintained that its plant CLIP THIS COUPON ■■ HJj five chest X-rays. This is less than the maximum the AEC allows for full-time radiation workers, but much more than the industry-wide average of 0.2 rem per year and more than the 0.5 rems allowed for members of the general public. (Federal radiation protection guidelines in force since 1960 recommend that individuals in the general population receive no more than 0.5 rems per year of non medical radiation to the whole body. Nuclear workers are limited to 5 rems per year.)

This is only one area of city spending which can be modified,” Mr. Phelan indicated. The Republican also believes the public can help the city properly distribute funds and cut down on wastes. He proposes that a city-wide, non-profit, non-partisan organization be established by the Council to divide Buffalo into neighborhood groups. These groups would elect representatives to give their district’s point of view on city spending, especially in the area of housing. Mr. Phelan also believes that any city charter resolutions should be put on the ballot. “The public should be given a chance to vote on charter resolutions,” he asserted. Mr. Mitchell’s spokesman, Donald Lochte, said the present council’s plans to eliminate city deficit “are complicated.” There is no “miracle” method that will alleviate the city’s problems in a short period of time. Mr. Mitchell favors appropriating sufficient funds for education and low-cost, low-interest housing, Mr. Lochte said, but feels these funds will have to be appropriated largely by the Spectrum The position of President of the Buffalo Common Council is up for election next month. Delmar Mitchell, the Democratic candidate, will try to retain the office he has held since March of last year due to a vacancy created by the retirement of ailing president Chester Gorski. However, Republican opponent John J. Phelan contends that “the office of President of the Common Council has been neglected too long. The city of Buffalo needs creative leadership.” The three major issues facing Buffalo this year are the declining state of the economy, poor housing and inappropriate funding for city public schools, Buffalo’s unemployment rate has skyrocketed to the highest in its history. There are insufficient funds for improving Buffalo’s public schools, and housing structures within deteriorating. city the constantly are Mr. Phelan is anxious to prove that the present council is inadequately serving the city, and that he can provide the leadership the city needs so desperately. ' Unsound management Mr. Phelan emphasizes the fact that the root of all three of the city’s problems is the lack of sound management of the city’s available funds. His plan to help the city eliminate its deficits focuses on generating more money from federal revenue. “In terms of education, the present administration is rolling over the deficit from the previous year into state. He went on to explain the “awkwardness” of position of City Council President. “The president of the Common Council does not control the funding,” Mr. Lochte said. “He is unable to do anything without the majority approval of the council. He can preside over the meetings and make suggestions, but he is not in the position to dictate to the mayor or the council.” the this year,” Mr. Phelan contended. “Not only is this procedure illegal, but it doesn’t help the city’s situation at all.” “The federal government is giving the city an initial SI 2.8 million to spend on housing,” Mr. Phelan continued. Half of this $12.8 million, he claims, can be used to generate more money through the sale of tax exempt bonds, which could provide the city with as much as $50 million to improve or rebuild deteriorating structures. Regarding the growing unemployment, Mr. Phelan claims the present administration has done nothing to provide more jobs for the unemployed. He proposes that the administration make active attempts to attract industry to Buffalo. “The present administration industry is slowly moving out creating waves of knows that of Buffalo, which is unemployment,” Mr. Phelan pointed out. “The Common Council should try to convince industries to locate themselves in Buffalo. This would boost the economy considerably.” of the city Waste Further discussing the poor management of funds by the present administration, Mr. Phelan Housing In response to Mr. Phelan’s housing plan, Mr. Lochte said, “I’m sure housing is in the process of being rejuvenated now, Mr. Mitchell is obviously in favor of housing improvements.” However, Mr. Phelan insists that because the office of President of the Common Council is the second highest office in the city, “it is designed to give the legislative branch of city government an opportunity to compete with the legislative branch of government.” Mr. Phelan paralleled the city council’s present situation with one that existed in New York City until recently. “For years, occupants of the City Council in New York City did not utilize the voice of the public. Now that Council President Paul O’Dwyer is the forefront of economic development, school budget and neighborhood blight 'problems have improved. “The president of the council is like a general. He has to initiate political movements,” Mr. Phelan said.

Wednesday, 16 October 1974 The Spectrum Page five . . �1Editorial Reject Rocky If Gerald Ford is serious about a new era of honesty and openness in government, he must withdraw his nomination of Nelson Rockefeller for Vice President. Mr. Rockefeller's $2 million in gifts and loans to 21 associates and his possible role in financing a derogatory book about his 1970 gubernatorial opponent Arthur Goldberg clearly disqualify unless a full him from a position of public trust explanation is forthcoming. Mr. Rockefeller claims he gave $550,000 to former Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Chairman William Ronan to "keep a good man in office." But Mr. Ronan, paid $80,000 a year, was already the third highest paid public servant in America; only the President of the United States and the governor of New York earn more. Mr. Ronan also earned about $18,700 in supplemental income, according to New York Magazine. Why does a man earning nearly $100,000 annually require a $550,000 payoff to stay in a position of power? Mr. Ronan has denied any impropriety, but has failed to answer this crucial question. Neither has Mr. Rockefeller. At the very least, their sworn testimony before the Senate Rules Committee is required. It is not very refreshing, especially after hearing a great public outcry against the Nixon administration's "dirty — tricks," to find out that Rockefeller's closest associates, with his brother picking up the tab, arranged for 100,000 copies of a book attacking his opponent to be printed and distributed free of charge. That the former governor, a man with a reputation for never leaving any loose ends, could be oblivious to the book's publication is as credible as Nixon's professed ignorance of the Watergate break-in. Over the years, Mr. Rockefeller has been portrayed as an governor who overwhelmed his extremely popular Democratic opponents in four successive elections. What many have failed to realize, however, is that the vast Rockefeller fortune seems to have scared away the more promising Democratic candidates, leading the way for him to obliterate lesser Democratic luminaries with his massive economic clout. When Mr. Rockefeller was asked by members of the Senate Rules Committee why he rejected pleas by legislators, clergymen, and New York State Commissioner Russell Oswald for his direct intervention at Attica to prevent a massacre, the former Governor said, "I did not believe that this is the way to defend the interests of a free society." Mr. Rockefeller went on to say that he could not have considered amnesty for the rebelling prisoners without the fair and impartial application of the undermining ", law." Yet when questioned about President Ford's pardon of Nixon, he termed it "an act of conscience, compassion and courage." All of these questions raise serious doubts about Mr. Rockefeller's moral competence for the Vice Presidency; at a time when this country so desperately needs to resist the power that money and large corporations exert on the political and judicial processes, his presence in the Executive Branch of government cannot be justified. . . The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. Wednesday, 16 October 1974 24 Editor-in-Chief Larry - Managing Editor Managing Editor — Kraftowitz Amy Now it’s Boston The tension-turned-violence on Boston’s south side is all too familiar to anyone who has grown up in the two decades since Brown vs. the Bd. of Ed. Topeka. As children we saw the same violence in Selma and Birmingham, as teenagers we saw it in Detroit, Newark and Watts. One group fighting another with broken bottles, chains and charges of racism it was ugly then and it is even uglier nor. If for no other reason, then because it is proof that we are as totally incapable of economic and social integration now was we were twenty years ago, because it is lingering proof that we’ve built a flawed society where very few people are equal before the law. South Boston was up in arms last week because a large enough number of parents believed that their children should not be bused across neighborhood lines in sompliance with the federal court order to racially balance the city’s schools. More than a bus ride was involved. It was the fact that the bus ride was from one substandard school to another that had the parents out in the streets. What their children saw and heard last week may render any learning they do in the remainder of their school years anitclimiatic. They’ll see blood and witness racial hatred in its ugliest form. They’ll hear and speak a language of hate. They’ll- remember what they did in the streets but they won’t understand why. Those children will become small cogs in a social order that knows little of them and careseven less. They are going to be the real losers in the Boston School strike. They knwoledge they’ll learn in the street may be the only knowledge theyll put to use for the rest of their lives. Racism is not the heart of the problem, but is the most visible manifestation. Neither the whites in Southside or the blacks in Roxbury have the kind of educational systems that they need. These schools, like most other inner city, merely transmit the problems of one generation onto another. They offer little chance for advancement and the student who is able to transcend the local shortcomings is he exception rather than the rule. Merging the white schools in Southside with the black ones in Roxburry will is not the answer. Integrated schools are not a panacea. - forced bussing creates as many problems as it solves. Only increased funding newer, facilities and better staff can improve the school in Boston. Education is vital; as vital to the white as to the black. The political responses to the unrest have been indirect and counterproductive. They are disguising the inadequacies of he educational system and offerring it up the great good, integrated and balanced schools. In their terminology, it doesn’t really matter what happens in Boston today as long as the overriding social goals are achived tomorrow. Predisent Ford’s reply to whether or not he would authorize federal troops to be sent into the area at last week’s press conference was typical of the political responses to the problem. He evaded the question with rhetoric about how he was opposed to bussing and how it disprupted neighborhood schools. Then he said that the people of Boston should comply with the bussing anyway, grin, and bear it. Mr. Ford either has not idea of what is going on or its totally insensitive to the needs of Roxbury and Southside. For him and other politicians the problem will go away as soon as the children return to school (it doesn’t matter which one). The people of Boston will have to help themselves. They will have to force the issue and demonstrate that racial balance in the schools is a regional problem not a local one. It is time they put the pressure on the peripheral and suburban school districts and organized work together rather than against one another for a better education for their children. If you can have good schools in Roxbury, and good schools in Southside it is far better than poor schools in both and violence between them. Education is the future. It is more important than any court ruling, political deal or public statement. Education is the only way to terminate the long list of racial confrontations over education that began two decades ago. Until the people of Roxbury and Southside realize that nothing can be gained by fighting among themselves, and that they are only passing their racial hatred onto their children, they will be totally unable to transcend the petty differences which obscure the real problem. -Michael O’Neill Ivory tower Dunkin Michael O'Neill Gerry McKeen Advertising Manager Neil Collins Business Manager — — To the Editor. — Backpage . .... .

As a full-time worker and part-time (Millard Fillmore) student, I was very much heartened by your editorial in favor of the colleges and against the scholars into the academic community. And still certain members of the Faculty-Senate take “academic legitimacy” to mean polite ways to keep out all who do not share their reactionary policy of education by ivory towers. Dr. Reichert, Dr. Hochfield, what do your PhD’s Though long academic phrases may obscure this, mean to the workers at Bethlehem Steel or other there is nothing that certain elements of the faculty local plants, trying to feed their families?

Literature concerning the question of available facilities on campus seems to center about a moral issue of privilege vs. right. However, in times of limited funds, I’m sure many members of the University community would be interested in facts of a “hard” economic nature such as how many day-care and/or children presently receive the of such facilities, how many potentially could, what is the “real” cost including rent if physical space is now allotted by the University and if people are presently compensated by non-day-care funding? Does the center in question cost more than similar centers external to the University, etc. Before being asked to rally for support, 1 think a larger picture should be presented. students benefit Thomas Connelly Diana Ross fantastic To the Editor. In response to Paul R. Harding’s jazz article, I strongly take issue with Mr. Harding in his comments about the great Diana Ross. What is his basis of equating the fantastic recording, career that Ms. Ross has had with Doris Day’s? Diana Ross not only is a great singer but she also can act. Her portrayal of Billie Holliday in “Lady Sings The Blues” was nothing short of spectacular and she deserves to be praised for it, not as Mr. Harding seems to imply by questioning her responsibility for her protrayal of “some fictional Billie Holliday.” Billie Holliday was truly a fine singer with an extraordinary voice, that only someone with a voice as fine as Diana Ross could try to imitate. Ms. Ross’ singing in “Lady” was of such high quality that had Billie been alive today, she would have praised it. As far as “Touch Me In The Morning” goes. Miss Ross’ vocal performance was one of the best by any vocalist in years and is not in any way, form or shape similar to a “Doris Day of the Black charts.” So, from not only me, but for all Diana Ross fans, I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to show the true feeling of people towards the great Diana Ross! Thank you. Steven Brieff frorr here to ther by Garry Wills One of my earliest memories is of patriotic collecting. During World War II, we children collected for the scrap rubber drive old tires went to the war effort, instead of being strung up on tree branches for use as swings. Even the innertubes were surrendered, though we used to save them for floating in. Anyone foolish enough to leave a garden hose out on the lawn at night was liable to find, in the morning, that he had donated to the war effort without knowing it. I don’t think all this pother about scrap metal and rubber, and not wearing nylons, did much to “beat the Japs,” as we liked to think. A good deal of it came under the heading of psychological conditioning. A little effort of that sort created a general atmosphere of readiness to sacrifice. The shole nation participated, to some measure, in the determination to pay the costs of war. Our little donations indeed, much of the imposed rationing was a form of propaganda. There’s much to be said against most forms of propaganda; but the donations to help end the war were less objectionable than racist war movies and all the calculated incitements to hatred. I read recently a wartime defense of the propagandists who were instilling hatred of all Japanese and German people. It was written by Rex Stout. No wonder Earl Warren locked up the Nisei. All these memories came back when I heard President Ford tell the economic summit that we should make up little Lenten lists of what we are willing to “give up” for the duration of the energy crisis and inflation. The mechanics of the thing sound childish; and the particular sacrifices we — — — '‘Can't I Have A Bigger Button Or Something?' — But perhaps the suggestion that we ready ourselves for a great national effort is not silly. Inflation, the energy shortage, the monetary crisis all these are symptoms of a larger and growing historical problem, the crisis of indiscriminate and voracidus consumption. We are simply eating our planet up too fast. The forces that drove our explosive expansion across the continent in the nineteenth century and our thrust outward in this century are anachronisms now. What helped us and gave us power before can only hurt and weaken us. We cannot go on this way. - The signs are all around us. We do not need Doomsday utterances. There are too many people destroying too many fields and forests and resources, crowding up against each other, chasing and causing crime. We all see the space filling up. My children live in a far more constricted world than the one where we “collected” rubber. Our dependence on oil, on electricity (remember the blackout?), on planes that cannot afford fuel and trains that cannot keep up their rail beds is part of a cumulative crisis. We do have to start giving up things, and for a longer time than any Lent. We should start by giving up big cars, and some airline routes, and various kinds of junk products. Making a list of ten such things would not be hard, and certainly will not hurt anyone. It might even help. President Ford, trying to build a better mickeymouse trap, is at least nudging us in the right direction. Beat the system To the Editor —feedback— whink up may not be much in themselves. In ;ed, it suggested that such mickeymouse measures are proof that the Administration has nothing real it can think of to stop inflation. So, as an act of desperation, it is telling “us” to stop it after all, “we” started it. Well, here we go again. This University really is hurting! First the administration cuts funds for the Day Care Center; now they (Traffic Control Advisory Board) are going to charge us for parking on campus. Ten-cent, 30-minute meters have been installed at the Lockwood Library lot. What rationale did the TCAB use when it decided to charge us for parking? Who gets this money, and who decides what to use it for? Remember, any system that can be devised can be beaten. Mark Carton Destroying something vital see many of the “day care” people; a generation in change. My three year old son, however, is the generation of tomorrow. If we are to help him and others realize their individual potentials, allow him the right of becoming his own person, to give his generation the benefit of what so many are suffering through now, the concept of competent, professional day care for them as we care for ourselves becomes not a right but a necessity. I have worked at the center a few times and This is where I To the Editor. I am separated from my wife (now a student at U.B.) and son. As such I feel a deep concern about the current day care funding controversy. As I see it, the major thrust of the pro-day care people is “it’s a right (for women) not a privilege,” while the anti-day care people concern themselves with “why should so few spend so much” type logic. If this be the case, I feel both sides are missing the one really crucial aspect; that is, what the center or lack thereof will do for the children. My reasons. One of our basic problems in society has been and continues to be lack of respect for the individual, a role expectation for male/female, an inability to deal with feelings, a using of “shoulds” as the prime rationale for actions. Much of this, as we know, is a carryover from past generations. Thankfully, however, this is changing: men and women are trying to break out from these patterns and are attempting to become individuals. visited there often. If one could see the love that is present, the concern for the individual (and yes, a child is often times more a person than we); if one could realize just how much can be done for all by such a center, there would be no controversy. Quite selfishly, my major concern is for Aaron. He is being exposed to so many beautiful things, so many experiences, so many potentials that 1 look in disbelief as money, something so unimportant, destroys something so vital. Richard A. Liguori Fund ‘Art” To the Editor. We of Ari the Jewish student magazine, would to express our dissatisfaction with the inadequate funding granted us by Sub-Board. Although it is true that all special interest publications have had to vie for limited funds this year, we feel that Ari should have received more funds than it did if only by virtue of its readership and frequency of publication (eight issues last year). It is solely through the support of the people at University Press that we received any monies at all. In the past few months, we have received many requests from our subscribers for reprints of our issue devoted to Jewish women (April 1974). Ari maintains an active mailing list covering Buffalo and , like elsewhere, including university libraries both here and in Israel, We feel that Ah has made a significant contribution to the University community. It has served as a means of involvement and creative Jewish expression for freshmen, commuter and dorm students, among others.

Basically a Catholic organization, Newman people are involved in teaching, counseling and coordinating various activities, both religious and secular. Father John Chandler, the Newman chaplain, is new on campus. A graduate of St. Bonaventure University, Father Chandler has spent the last 10 years working in the inner city. In discussing his plans for the club, Fr. Chandler explained that “a common language we have is music.” He hopes to work with experimental liturgies, utilizing drama, the dance, music and art, in various ways, in order to achieve a higher level of communication through community blending and synthesizing the various media. Referring to the planned liturgy, he said, “It is our hope to present to the Catholic community and others on the University campus a true sense of the sacred as expressed in the classical, modem and contemporary modes. Through music, art, drama and dance, we propose to present an experience of man as he has expressed his understanding of the sacred.” Activity center 12 noon and 5 p.m. There are weekend Masses at 5 p.m. Saturdays in Norton 332, and at 7 p.m. at the Cantalician Chapel at 3233 Main Street. Sunday Masses are at 9 and 10:30 a.m. and at 12 noon at the Cantalician Chapel, and there is a Spanish Mass at 7 p.m. Sunday in the Newman Center. The teaching activities of the Center revolve around the religious education of children attending public schools. Currently, only about 42 children, mostly the families of University staff members, are registered in the program, which extends to all grade levels. The instructors are volunteers from diverse backgrounds. Pat Burgen, the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) coordinator, and Mary Ann Steffan are mothers and housewives; Cheree Fogarty, Katy Kotansky and Janice Manolopoulos are students. The purpose of CCD is, in Fr. Chandler’s words, to impart “what the gospel has to say and how the Church is reflecting it in the twentieth century.” He sees CCD not as a method of “bringing religion” to children, but rather as reinforcing the efforts of the meaning of parents in communicating the Catholicism to their children. “All we can do,” said Fr. Chandler, “is confirm the religious education that is given at home.” The instructors see their task as particularly demanding, since most of the children they are teaching come from educators’ homes and thus are more cognizant than some others of the The Newman Center itself is a large home at 1 5 University Ave., near the comer of Main Street and Niagara Falls Blvd. It functions as an activity and recreation center and as a drop-in haven of sorts.

Students now have an excellent opportunity to start doing the work through the NYPIRG Internship program. Twenty students will be chosen be will exceptionally from all over New York State to program spend the spring semester in Albany, lobbying for passage of bills devised by the participants themselves. During the fall, those accepted into the program will become fluent in a chosen issue, economics, or legislative behavior. The issues that NYPIRG has chosen to deal with are: banning write a short paper, and work with the NYPIRG staff to prepare for the Spring legislative session. Independent project “This is the best intern program I’ve heard of since students will be working with rather for for a legislator,” Mr. Sokolow stated. “This program is not intended for the participants to go for coffee, run messages, or handle constituent mail as most intern programs turn out to be,” he valuable for students interested in administration, law, public political science, consumer non-returnable containers, regulating hearing aid sales permitting free pratices and substitution of generic for more expensive brand name drugs where feasible.

Alan Balutis, professor of Political science, will be sponsoring those accepted from this University, and each student will receive from 12 to 16 credits. What is NYP1RG? In 1970, Ralph Nader inspired the creation of Public Interest Research Groups in Oregon and Minnesota. Other states followed until a total of 20 PIRGs existed with support from 140 schools across the nation began in Syracuse in 1972. In less than a year, it extended to Albany and New York, and it now operates in NYPIRG Binghamton, Buffalo, Manhattan, and Queens as well. A recent major project of NYPIRG has been the publication of state legislative profiles. Also, with the aid of a full-time professional staff of lawyers and researchers, NYPIRG deals with agency employment discimination, fuel prices, and pharmacy supermarket pricing guides, and medical service costs.

(Tony Barrand and John Roberts, originally scheduled for Wed., Oct. 16, will not be appearing due to prior commitments.) Jim Ringer has been described as “looking like he’s been through the hard times he sings about,” and his craggy face could easily have belonged to a prospector or a miner forty-niner. He sings about cowboys, bums, traveling, trains, love, hard times and easy times. Jim writes many of his own songs, and does them in a simple, straightforward way, accompanying himself on guitar and “echo” harmonica. Tracy Schwarz, best known as a member of the New Lost City Ramblers, will be performing together with his wife Eloise on Thursday. Starting time is 9 p.m. Tickets ($.75 students, $1.00 faculty and NYPIRG involvement. $1.25 public) are available at the Norton Hall Ticket Office; staff, and brochures Applications potables and munchies are available at the Coffeehouse for purchase. further information is available in the NYPIRG office.

Bill Maraschiello — _ �VW race Hear 0 Israel For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 — — How far can you go on a quart of gas? Pretty far, is the answer, as demonstrated by Volkswagen of America at “The 32 Ounces of Watkins Glen” held on Grand Prix weekend. The second annual VW economy run saw sports writers and editors from 19 and general circulation newspapers college competing to see how much mileage they could squeeze out of a piddling amount of petrol. I was right in the middle of the whole thing, waving the flag for Buffalo. Now in an economy contest, the idea is not to finish first, but to maximize the efficiency of one’s meager fuel supply. That may well mean that he who finishes last is showered with blessings from VW of A. Never having been in this sort of thing before, I wasn’t really sure what one does to conserve gas, 1 mean, I’m not a fanatic on gas mileage my driving habits don’t allow me to think of such things. Extra air in the tires, disconnecting anti-pollution equipment, throwing away of seats, fenders and other unnecessaries (the driver?) were all against the rules, so me and my green Super Beetle had to figure out the best way to do this. Actually, me car was only mine for a weekend normally it has a happy home as a “Kelly Cared for Car” at Jim Kelly’s Checktowaga dealership. Kelly’s sales manager, Fred Stock, suggested that an egg placed between my right foot and the go pedal would help. Sure Fred, and who did you think was gonna clean up that mess? - - Fiddling around After arriving at The Glen with an incredible amount of camping stuff crammed into that surprisingly big-on-the-inside bug, my pit crew and I went to the staging area where a horde of Teutonic types descended on the car applying all manner of taping a plastic quart bottle to the rear and in general, fiddling around. Finally, the moment of my debut as a race driver arrived. Maureen (who functioned exceedingly well as my pit crew throughout) gave me a kiss, as drivers’ wives are wont to do before a major race, and 1 lined up next to the car. It was to be a LeMans start so the cars were backed against the pit wall, facing diagonally down the track. The drivers were to line up on the other side of the track, and at the signal, were to run to the cars, jump in and race. But not before Chris Economaki got a chance to do his thing. He interviewed the whole row of drivers, accused me of being too young to be married and in college, and embarrassed the whole bunch of us. What a jerk! We eyed each other nervously as the 30-second signal was given. At the flag, we madly dashed (it was more like a trot, since every one still felt pretty dumb after being interviewed by C.E.) to the cars. As 1 reached my green, No. 6 Beetle, I was overcome by the competitive urge. I jumped in, turned on the ignition with one hand, buckled my safety belt with the other, slammed the gearbox into first and took off! Exit 3 ounces of gas out the rear tubes. Through all this, I didn’t have any hands left to close the shelters, window, I How many miles per quart?

I knew that not using my brakes would conserve gas so I fought for the line that would take me around without having to slacken my speed. Cars were everywhere. In front, behind, around. I could just see myself on Monday morning as 1 handed the keys back to the man: “Uh it was like this!! . , Fortunately, Fred, you see no scrape of metal was heard and 1 was through the mob and heading past the pits and into the S turns.

That first lap traffic was tough. Sweat was pouring out of me, soaking my fireproof Nomex underwear, and clouding my visor! Down into “The Anvil” I saw the brake lights of the car ahead of me go on and I snickered to myself as I slipped by on the inside. As I came by the pits, I looked in my rear view mirror at my fuel supply, which, surprisingly, was still pretty well up there. Three times I passed the pits. The last time, I looked at my tank and 1 knew I was running on fumes. So did my pit crew, as she held up the “Slow” sign, telling me to conserve what I had left. i | JUST BACK FROM INTRODUCING THE z ?

I swerved back and forth to pick up whatever drops were hanging out in the corners of the bottle, and 1 saw a small trickle go down the tube and the engine picked up again. Now my race was run. 1 coasted to a stop in front of two other cars that had also fallen victim to the S turns. A few more cars went by and then it was all over. After my fuel tank was reconnected, I drove around to the pits somewhat faster than the 30-35 mph that fuel economy dictated for the race. We all went to the winner’s circle where old Chris E. was on hand to make inane comments as the prize money and champagne were handed out by Rob Schron of Worldwide Volkswagen. Remembering the old Brock Yates “Armpit of the East” story, witty Chris wondered how it was that I was from Buffalo and didn’t have a wart on my nose. Atta boy Chris, you idiot. The race was won with a record breaking 57.2 mpg average by Dave Dillon of the Norwich (N Y.) Evening Sun. He got $ 150 for his efforts, along with a big bottle of Great Western Champagne. Old No. 6 only got a bit more than 44 mpg to finish tied for eighth, but the $15 and bottle of bubbly helped to ease the pain.

Soccer Bulls salvage dismal week with 2-1 win over Ohio In what may have been the finest soccer performance in the Bulls’ four-year history of the sport, Buffalo salvaged a potentially disappointing week with a thrilling 2-1 win over Ohio University. Earlier the Bulls had struggled through a 3-3 stalemate with a mediocre St. Bonaventure squad. Jim Young, Buffalo’s forward and top career scorer, was held without a goal by the Bonnies, snapping an 11-game scoring streak for him. However, Young came back with two against Ohio. He scored the second goal on a three on none breakaway, as his wife Judy, for this contest, timekeeper counted down the final seconds of the game.

The College also attempts to review how developing nations can progress without doing harm to the environment, Dr. Howell emphasized. Campus Editor Environmental ethic Mark Bronstein, outdoor course coordinator, told the Chartering Committee that the outdoor programs help students develop a sensitivity to nature and the environment. “Field trips show that the environment is not a harsh thing and man can exist in it without doing damage; it develops an environmental ethic,” he observed. Rachel Carson College offers a series of environmental skills seminars for one credit, and more extensive four-credit indoor and outdoor programs. Single credit courses in biking, hiking and backpacking, among others, meet nine times a semester. Other outdoor courses, however, require a greater time commitment on the part of the student. Organic Survival, for example, requires two-day weekend outings throughout the semester. Rachel Carson also offers internship programs, independent study, non-credit projects and environmental action activities, such as the project said the Prospectus mandates that one person be designated as full-time head of the College, and asked why Rachel Carson could not comply. “One person, in the absence of pay and release time, cannot do all the work,” Dr. Paigen explained. The College presently operates without a secretary or administrative assistant, she said, which increases the amount of work and time required of the directors. “I will not make a two-year commitment (as director) to Rachel Carson unless the University” is in turn willing to make a substantial commitment of support to our programs, Dr. Paigen asserted. Lack of support Dr. Howell informed the Committee that he is leaving the University in June, partly because of the University’s lack of support for environmental studies. “1 saw no long term future for the Colleges in developing an environmental program,” he said. Dr. Howell cited problems which have prevented the expansion of environmental studies here.

A $100,000 bribe, offered for his silence by White House agent Jack Caulfield, and a talk with E. one-time teacher of criminal law, Monday evening to an audience of 300 at Buffalo State College. He denied any connection between the actions of the men who committed the crimes and the FBI or CIA. “I always worked in the outfield, but those were fine decent people.

McCord said of the organizations. Bribes Mr. McCord said he had waited to tell his story at the Senate Watergate hearings rather than at his trial because of the Senate Committee’s independence from presidential influence, its and its subpoena power willingness to follow up on leads. James McCord He was very impressed with the members of the committee, he said. Mr. McCord did not have such feelings about what positive Nixon’s approval Mr. McCord also mentioned difficulties with his own defense lawyer, against whom he has filed a malpractice suit. “At one point my lawyer gave me a two-day pitch to use a false defense blaming the CIA for my actions,” he charged. A powerful motive for his participation in the break-in was immunity, he enormous power of the Presidency, which, Mr. McCord said had an intense attraction for “without strings” the him. “We were all fairly certain the President had given his final approval to the plan. I didn’t believe then and don’t now that it could have occurred from any other circumstances,” Mr. McCord said. He cited a conversation with his two daughters in July 1972 as the point at which he decided to write Judge John Sirica and offer to divulge all he knew about the Watergate operation. “After that I was simply looking for the right place and time to tell it,” he said. In spite of the financial, personal and national consequences, he related, once his decision to tell all was final, he was sure it was right. Mr. McCord is currently taking on speaking engagements to “ease the pain” of the $60,000 to 100,000 debt he has incurred for fees. Explaining that his decision to talk was not contingent upon a promise of $ legal said he testified so that he could tell his story in his own way and have the greatest effect. He felt no heroic motivation, he said. No equal justice Mr. McCord recounted the days he spent in a Washington, D.C. jail on “murderer’s row” with 25 men who were “up for the job” (murder). With some bitterness, he charged that th’e people who were guilty, but who occupied high positions, like John Mitchell seven and Richard Nixon, got away with no punishment at all. His feelings on the Nixon pardon have led him to file a civil suit challenging the legality of President Ford’s action. Mr. McCord complained about the inequality in sending men to jail on the basis of status rather than guilt. “Nixon can still be called to testify against men whose illegal actions he directed,” he said. ‘The pardon came before Nixon was indicted. There is no precedent for that.” �Open forum precedes SASU re elections The number of representatives each campus sends to SASU is proportional to the number of students enrolled there. The organization is funded through a $60 fee per student, collected from each participating school. About 95 percent of all state-operated schools are members of SASU, Mr. Rodriguez said. by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor Elections for representatives to the Student Association of the State University of New York (SASU) will take place October 17. SASU is a four-year-old statewide student government representing the interests of over 150,000 SUNY students. It handles a varie ■ y of student services, including lobbying at the state legislature, sponsoring insurance programs, purchasing cooperatives and travel and tourism packages, and operating a SUNY news network for campus newspapers and radio stations. Invalid election The election for this University’s SASU representatives was held last spring, but was invalidated after determining that at least one voting machine malfunctioned, according to Janet Mrozowski, SA Director of Elections and Credentials. Overturning the results of the election was the result of an appeal by one of the candidates. Ms. Mrozowski said that because of a decision by members of the SA —Santos Executive Committee, all nine candidates’ names would again appear on the current ballot. The new election will be held Thursday, Oct. 17. Any student of campus presidents and the availability of full-time day undergraduate student may vote at the financial aid.

Rodriguez explained. Effective lobbying Bob Rodriguez, former SASU president, explained that SASU conducts activities that would be impossible for local student governments. He said SAiSU was effective because “Albany doesn’t have many effective lobbying groups,” adding that SASU helps equalize student voices with faculty and administration. SASU was founded in the summer of 1970 as a reaction to the lack of student representation in the selection of Ernest L. Boyer as SUNY Chancellor and in SUNY’s decision to raise tuition. In its short history, SASU has become involved in a variety of other student related issues as well. These include the Board of Trustee guidelines governing the expenditure of mandatory student fees; legislative reaction to campus disruptions; evaluation Bob Rodriguez National disaster? I Group challenges pot report The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) has challenged the recently-released report of the Senate subcommittee on Internal Security, which claims that the use of marijuana represents “a trend towards national disaster.” In the report’s introductory remarks. Senator James 0. Eastland, Democrat of Mississippi, said if the current rate of marijuana use continued, Americans might find themselves “saddled with a large population of semi-zombies.” NORML Director Keith Stroup called the Eastland Report “the most amazing piece of self-serving fiction and distortion to come out of the Congress since the McCarthy hearings in the early 1950’s.” The report, claims Mr. Stroup, does not represent a consensus of scientific opinion, either government or private. “The report is an embarrassment to those seriously interested in the problems of drug use and abuse in our society, and a disservice to those who are objectively attempting to determine the possible harmful effects of marijuana,” Mr. Stroup continued..

(In the report’s introduction, Senator Eastland stated, “We make no apology, therefore, for the one sided nature of our hearings they were deliberately planned this way.”) Much of the testimony attempted to connect the use of marijuana with Communism and the New left. Senator Eastland apparently wanted to depict marijuana as a devious Communist plot to justify jurisdiction for the Internal Security subcommittee, itself an “anachronism of the McCarthy era.” Senator Eastland showed (overwhelming concern for exaggerated marijuana claims, but de-emphasized the clearly demonstrated serious harm from alcohol and tobacco. — — — Imported Wines Liquors & Cordials Domestic & 2345 Millersport Highway Getzville, NY. 14068 Getzville Plaza 688-6666 THE GASLIGHT LAST 2680 Main St. corner Amherst — CLASS SCHEDULE: ?

At least $100 was spent to publicize both events. A few years ago, Mr. Irving, a relatively unknown author, fooled the publishing world by selling an “authorized biography” of Hughes, the billionaire recluse, to high level executives at Life Magazine. He nearly pulled the hoax of the century until Mr. Hughes finally spoke to the press and exposed the almost-perfect fraud. Who’s to blame? The agencies which represent Mr. Irving were involved with the September-October mix ups, but no one is admitting blame for the cancellations. According to Mr. Morrow, the Speakers Bureau had at first contacted the Harry Walker Agency, which at that time had Mr. Irving under exclusive management and a contract was signed for $1500. Mr. Irving’s first engagement was scheduled for Sept. 4. Mr. Morrow was notified a few weeks later, however, that the contract had been transferred to the Phillip Citron Agency, and that the original commitment would be honored. However, a representative from the Harry Walker Agency informed Mr. Morrow during the last week of August that a problem with Mr. Irving’s parole board had arisen. Mr. Irving, it seems, had not applied in time for Parole Board clearance for the speaking engagement. (A parolee must apply two weeks ahead of time for clearance.) As a result, he could not come to Buffalo. Taking a chance Undaunted by this experience, Mr. Morrow felt that Mr. Irving was worth “the gamble” and began drawing up a new contract with the Harry Walker Agency. At the same time, Norm Chamlin of the Mili Domo Agency claimed his firm represented Mr. Irving. Thus, it was up to the Harry Walker Agency to contact the Phillip Citron Agency to contact Norm Chamlin so that the Parole Board would grant clearance to Mr. Irving. Assuming that the speech would go on as scheduled, the Speakers’ Bureau put up posters 'a week before Mr. Irving’s scheduled “appearance.” Around noon Tuesday, though, Mr. Morrow received CZ3CIDIZ3CZIIZCI3CIZCIZIII3IZIDCIZCIZIZDC IDCi:tZ^CDCZZ3CIDlII3l=^ai3DIZD[IZ]CDCi: i —ir-icnr~ii—11—11—imannnnc □ C3 CI3 □ tZD C=D C=3 CI3 C=3 CZ3 czn □=□ CD CZ CZ3 CZ3CZ3 □□ CZ3CZ3 tzz CZ3C3]CZ3 EZDCZ3C D C=3 □ CZ3 □ C=Z CZ [Z3CZ3 C=Z □ CZC3C3 i —i| — n—ii—?r~mzi cziciiiiziiicziczdcziczic 1? 1-1 ??

On the other hand, the original two agencies (Harry Walker and Philip Citron) reported that Mr. Chamlin was indeed aware of the situation well before Oct. 1 and that Mr. Irving’s parole board wanted to know only where the author would stay while in Buffalo. Mr. Morrow indicated that the issue would be brought to court to determine who, if anyone, is responsible for the cancellations. The only person maintaining silence on the issue is Mr. Irving himself. Asked if the author would be approached again, once legal matters are settled, Mr. Morrow responded, “I wouldn’t touch him with a ten-foot pole.” Lack offlood control slows North Campus development by David Haitkin Staff Writer Spectrum Flood control around the Ellicott Creek, which is one of the major problems in the way of the development of the new campus, appears to be nearing a solution. The Army Corps of Engineers is scheduled to come up with a plan acceptable to the University, the Town of Amherst, the State’s Urban Development Corp (UDC), and members of environmental and other interest groups by Dec. 1, according to Dan Kelly, Corps enginner in charge of the project. Because of the flatness of the land around the new campus and new Audubon community, the threat of flooding has been a serious consideration in developing the area, John D. Telfer, vice-president for Facilities for the Planning University explained. The Ellicott Creek is inadequate to contain its waters in the peak flow periods, of Spring and during winter thaws, he said, noting that during the summer and early fall, low flow periods, the Creek is well-known for its stench. Possible solutions to these problems include some form of man-made channeling as well as a reservoir for “low flow augmentation,” he said. Diversion One solution proposed by the Army Corps of Engineers was a 120-foot-wide major diversion to the Creek’s channel, to run from Maple Rd. most of the way around the new campus. Because of the great scar on the landscape such a channel would cause, though, and because it would render a large area of University land between the channel and the Creek unusable, the University strongly objected to the plan. Mr. Telfer explained that in addition to these objections, the major diversion channel would have created the need for up to six additional bridges, each with a potential cost to the state of $ 1 million. The proposal would also interfere with plans for a park around the Creek. Mr. Telfer said that because of these problems, the University “put a stopper on it,” citing a letter from President Ketter as instrumental in killing the plan. The UDC, planners for the new Audubon community, also voiced strong objections to the major diversion channel, as , did environmental and community groups with ecological concern. The problem originally arose when the state withdrew support of the proposed Sand Ridge which had been Reservoir, acceptable to all parties involved except those in the community it was going to be built. When people in the town of Alden at the headwaters of the Ellicott — * „ Friday, JJ Creek found out that the reservoir would dispalce and inconvenience people in their community people to benefit some distance away, in the town they began of Amherst, to complain. The state then soon began to reconsider the project ostensibly, because of its prohibitive costs. — Compromise At present the Army Corps of is looking for a compromise solution that Mr. Kelly hopes “will make everybody Engineers happy.” According to Mr. Telfer, what is being planned are a series of “mini-diversion channels,” ditches designed to smooth out kinks in the course of the Creek that will make its flow efficient enough for flood control purposes. In combination with these minor channels, a short section of a major diversion channel near Maple Rd. is also planned. This seems the most likely solution to the problem. Bossert, of the State’s of Environmental Conservation, noted that by now Dale Dept. all the parties are coming close to a compromise. The next public hearing to hear proposals from the Corps of Engineers will be held on Thursday, Nov. 7, at Sweet Home Senior High, October. 1974...Th^Spectrypn^P^three �discussed Sub-Board activities of Multi-faceted Faced with a huge debt from of years’ bills because past by Diane R.

Dr, Hochfield was referring to a clause in the Trustees’ guidelines which states that “the faculty of the college shall have to obligation participate significantly in the initiation, development and implementation of the educational plan . . Dr. Hochfield feels that the Faculty-Senate is more organized each and effective than the Student Assembly. “The teachers have a common uniting factor on their side,” he said. “The University provides us with our livelihood, so we are sincerely concerned with perpetuating and bettering it,” Dr. Hochfield explained. Students also have an interest in improving the college, but that it is not strong enough to motivate them to form a strong government, he added. Since 1970, the Faculty-Senate a evolved from has “town meeting,” where anyone was welcome to attend and vote, to a more sophisticated representative body. Each of the seven faculties, loosely-structured (Arts and Letters, Educational Studies, Engineering and Applied Sciences, Health Sciences, Law and Jurisprudence, Natural Sciences Social Sciences) is represented in proportion to its staff population and may elect its voting members in whatever manner it chooses.

They are expected to come up with a recommendation to the full Senate after researching a Each During the late sixties and early seventies, the Senate was an arena in which issues like the Vietnam War were discussed and academic topics were nearly academicignored. Today, oriented topics, such as pass-fail, grading system and four-course load are under active scrutiny.

NEW YORK �Support of labor union boosts Carey campaign by Joseph P. Esposito City Editor — recent endorsement Democratic of gubernatorial candidate Hugh Carey by the New York State AFL-CIO may well have been enough to guarantee that “Happy Days Are Here Again” will be playing in the Governor’s Mansion next year. A Carey victory would represent the first time since 1958 that a Democrat has been governor. The AFL-CIO endorsement carries with it campaign contributions and volunteers, but most importantly, delivers a setback psychological to the faltering campaign of incumbent Malcolm Wilson. The head of the Union’s Executive Council had hoped to secure the endorsement for Mr. Wilson, but by the time of the AFL-CIO convention, the best of the Wilson supporters could hope for was to deadlock the endorsement to prevent it from going to the Democrats. They did not succeed. Introductory Offer future. • The 36th Congressional which includes Niagara County, has had a Republican Representative in Congress since 1915. The incumbent, Henry P.

The Republican’s were recently accused of trying to buy off a Conservative Party candidate for governor.

Mr. Carey has reclaimed labor support as part of his campaign to rebuilt a coalition that will put Democrats in office throughout state government. A poll taken after the primary gave Mr. Carey a commanding lead while dampening the morale of the Nixon campaign. More damaging to the fate of the Republicans, however, was the fact that the Brooklyn Democrat was cutting heavily into the moderate and Catholic support so crucial to Republican chances this fall. There have been reports that the Wilson camp has recently been moving in a different direction.

THE JBL DESIGN FORMULA MAKES SENSE. A high-efficiency speaker like a JBL needs a less expensive amplifier to attain adequate volume levels, so the consumer can spend more of his system budget on the most important link in the system, the speakers. Secondly, JBL speakers do not only have excellent frequency response characteristics. Every JBL speaker also has outstanding "clarity”, a very important factor in speaker selection. 3. FINALLY, JBL IS THE STANDARD FOR SPEAKER WORKMANSHIP. They are the only speaker company that is actually producing every part of the speaker. Other manufacturers have less control over quality since they buy cabinets or tweeters, etc. from someone else. So we're not just saying "Buy a JBL. It's a good-sounding speaker."

Robert Hunt, Director of Environmental Health and Safety, believes the meters will help alleviate some of the congestion. ‘The meters will afford parking for 30-minute intervals, and with this system there is the possibility of parking as many as 100 cars a day,” he predicted. Interest in the idea was generated about a year ago. “We’ve had the meters for a while,” Mr. Hunt said. The only cost encountered was the cleaning and replacing of several parts which didn’t exceed $20. Campus Security is in charge of enforcing the new parking rules. The program begins on Monday, Oct. 31 and enforcement hours will run from 8 a.m. to 8 pjn. In addition the income collected from violations and fines will be used in a special fund to “insure the success of the program,” Mr. Hunt said. The program has been set up with the cooperation of the Buffalo Parking Violation Board and the New York State Traffic Commission. All fines must be paid at the Buffalo Parking Violation Board.

The Spectrum Page seven ( »f<' rf /-> �1Editorial Our decision Five years after the Colleges let some fresh air into this years of countless attacks on their academic integrity, legitimacy and very purpose, their future is finally on the line. A chartering committee created by the FacultySenate convened this week to decide, once and for all, whether experimental and non-traditional approaches to education have a place here. For all the attempts to give the chartering process an appearance of fairness and academic impartiality, the hearings themselves have the air of a Grand Jury proceeding about them. The entire Reichert Prospectus smacks of E, F, faculty supremacy, and the more radical colleges justifiably feel they Modern Education and Social Sciences have no chance of winning approval from the chartering committee. Many Colleges will be greatly handicapped because committee approval will depend to a great extent on the number of faculty each College is able to recruit. After making vigorous attempts to attract progressive faculty, many Colleges have failecl because: 1) there are few progressives on this campus; 2) the tight job market has frightened progressives with tenure and promotion in mind away from the Colleges; and 3) the Colleges have no money. To make things worse, the community people who have been the major impetus behind the growth of the Colleges as an alternative to traditional learning are likely to be spurned by the chartering committee, all in the name of "legitimacy." We cannot help but wonder about the nature of the egotism that makes Jonathan Reichert and others think their presence in a classroom for an hour does more for a student than a class with an unlettered, uncredentialed instructor who did not spend some of the best years of his life at the typewriter with a doctoral thesis. By forcing the Colleges to recruit faculty they knew all along could not be recruited and limiting the number of community people who can teach in a college, the FacultySenate has effectively dismantled the more progressive Colleges before they even face the chartering committee. Characteristic of this University's obsession with classroom learning is the fact that a college like Rachel Carson must justify itself after providing scores of students with the only real opportunity to explore crucial environmental concerns. Winning on important social battle against a huge conglomerate that was polluting the air in many Buffalo communities could never have been achieved in a computerized academic department laden with rigid, standardized requirements. Perhaps the most glaring irony of all is that students here must defend why they should be allowed to explore alternative views and apporaches to life, whether in parapsychology, radical politics, media studies, or through community involvement. The right to an education is basic. As consumers of education, the things students are learning right this minute will have to be applied some time in the future. Everyone, even faculty, will agree that the world is changing at an almost maddening pace. If the American political system remains obsolete and the environment falls apart in 20 or 30 years, we, not Jonathan Reichert or George Hochfield, will be the ones left to deal with it. Do we therefore not have the right to decide what educational processes will best prepare us for a world that will be left in our hands.

The private day care suggestion in Monday’s letter to the Editor was strangely reminiscent of “Let Them Eat Cake.” As a graduate student and mother of a school-age child, living at subsistence level, I resent having my mandatory fees used to finance a newspaper which prints letters in two consecutive issues denying my right to an education. Let’s separate the issues. In terms of equal opportunity, day care is a right; without it, poor and/or single parents are denied the basic opportunity to attend school or work. The funding of such programs is a separate issue. It would be hard for a coddled, middle class, American male to fees to pay for child care, it seems obvious that arguments against using the same to serve a small group can be leveled against almost any organization so funded at this University. How many parents (it’s about time we had some statistics of the number of students enrolled in this University who are parents) have their mandatory fees used to subsidize entertainment which is denied to them because they cannot afford the going rate of $ 1.25/hr. for babysitting. How many are unable to attend evening lectures, etc. for the same reason? It’s about time non-parent students woke up to the fact that parent students, the ones who can least afford this, are subsidizing entertainment, from which they are appreciate possible circumstances which put people excluded, with their mandatory fees. into the above category.

Leo Kottke had a good night Sunday in Clark Gym. In fact, Leo Kottke had a very good night Sunday. And when one of the very best guitarists around has a very good night, what you get is an audience Remember those drab 20 minutes or so The Wizard of Oz spends in Kansas before we hit Oz and change to Metrocolor? Well, this time Oklahoma came to us in the person of second-billed J.J. Gale and his four-piece band. The result, unfortunately, was just about as bland and BiT dTATSTf^iT that applauds, cheers, occasionally gasps in awe, hollers for more, and generally has one-hell of a time. Black and white "I remember this one guy," Kottke said in introducing his second encore, "who had a sound tower fall on him. He looked like the Wicked Witch of the East with his toes sticking out." Well-chosen words; for colorless. Things almost went over the rainbow once, with a vigorous medley of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" and Gale's own"Clyde," sparked by fine fiddle work by Gale's second guitarist (J.J. introduced the band, but he doesn't speak any more distinctly than he sings, so I didn't catch the name). For most of the set, though, Gale and the band were very, very stiff smooth and professional, yes, but certainly putting out the bare minimum of musicianship. They came on, played exactly 50 minutes with hardly a visible reaction, and left withput doing an encore, despite the usual stomping and applause. Gale's fairly tasty guitar work showed that he's capable of putting on a fine show when he's so inclined. But — —continued on page 12— �feel uncomfrotable in Baird Hall. I took a jazz class there once, but all I remember about it is that the pyramids in Egypt contain some 10,000-year-old hieroglyphics that spell Thelonius jazz goes way back. Occasionally I wander Monk into the basement of Baird when I'm stoned and bang on one of their free pianos, and then I slip quietly away in case anybody heard. Part of the problem is that I'm walking around with a basketball and sweatshirt while the rest of the place carries around $100 dollar instrument cases and F riday -morn ing-at-assembly shirts. This time I thought it would be different. Tom Constanten played keyboards and piano-type things with the Grateful Dead on my favorite of their albums, and I figured that means something to the local hippies. I'm sure if the nude woman on the cover of Live'Dead was playing harmonica in Kleinhans, they'd at least break even. She is, by the way, Tom's wife. I always — hopped into the seat next to me. "Well, it looks like it's just you and me," he said. Finally the back door on the stage opened and the musicians appeared. "You know any of those guys?" he asked. "Hey, yeah!

I forced myself to open the front doors and peeked around the corners before I went on. There were no people in the hallways. One light was on over the water fountain, and it was working without anybody in front of it. I decided that I was better off not empty, most Ex-dead, life, and leprechauns in Baird Hall taking a drink and hurried very slowly to the concert room. There was a leprechaun at the door. As I walked he reached up and handed me a program from in under his hat. "Strange night, isn't it?" he said. The concert room was also empty, so I read the program and tied my shoes a few times. The only light in the room was on my seat and few around me it was the worst alternative to the whole place's being dark. As eight o'clock struggled its way into the past, the leprechaun from the door came in and walked to my aisle with a very bouncy step and — aren't you? And suddenly all the lights went on, Tom Constanten was on stage, and the whole room was filled. The first four rows had leprechauns, the rows all about me wore black tuxedos, even the women, and the back was filled with the hippies. I was going to to tell him that I felt out of place, but he had introducing began see, seat to and Tom stand on his the first songs. The leprechaun pulled a joint out of his pocket and put it in front of my eyes and I got completely wrecked. He gave it a look himself and almost fell of of his seat, and when he regained his balance he tucked it under his hat. "I'd light it up, he said, "but they don't allow smoking here." The band got into a funky number, and it slowly switched into "You Know, You Know by John McLaughlin. It wasn't the Grateful Dead, maybe a little better, but the audience kept shouting out old Dead songs, like "Blame It on the Bossa Nova." Something unusual would happen as the the first leprechaun in the first row songs ended to applaud, then he stopped and the next started began, and it went on to the next leprechaun and worked its way all around the room, each of us (if I can be included in this group) giving one clap. When the last hippie in the last row clapped, everybody got up and switched seats with his or her neighbor, and then the band began again. It was a great and sentimental routine.

As the transformed ensemble ended the song I stood up and burst into applause, and found myself all alone again. The room was dark, and cold. Tom stood on stage with my leprechaun friend, who whipped out his magic joint and sent Tom into a daze. He stumbled over to the piano, staring blankly at the keys. The leprechaun brought him a blank sheet of music paper, and started writing notes, and as soon as each note was on the paper, Tom played it for us. The leprechaun began to write faster and faster, and Tom kept up with him, not knowing what he was doing, playing whatever sprang into the leprechaun's head. The leprechaun was ecstatic, dancing around as he wrote that monkey music, putting himself in a frenzy. He spun around wildly, fell off the piano, and dissolved, completely, without a trace. Tom stopped playing, looked up at me, and shrugged his shoulders. He got out of the seat and headed for the stage door. I stood alone and applauded him, and he turned around and gave me an embarassed bow. He reached the door, waved goodbye, and was gone. I slipped my way out of the deserted building, past the invisible drinker at the water fountain, and headed home. I finally understand Baird Hall and they lived happily ever after. -Jeffrey Benson @D&iansjSfioes: haous)lw3ru&hrZh*&^Fmi$ * *Shoes made for He forfeet or She BOULEVARD MALL r j7 Sat.

Prodigal Sun �[Tl HARROWHOUSE ] Magic Lantern by Jay Boyar Gielgud treats the assignments as a legitimate, part in a respectable film, and so his performance is authoritative and imaginative. If the principle characters had been well-played, then Gielgud would probably have been commended for the steady, controlled job he did. But since the film and its stars are so anesthetized, his energy seems the stodgy character he plays greater than it is appears very lively. Subtle and subdued, Mason usually gives quietly powerful performances. In this movie, surrounded as he is mostly by zombies, he parodies Grodin, Bergen, and even himself. He becomes so slow-moving that comic lethargy, as it were. It's sad it's humorous small Marvin Gaya, veteran of the Motown scene, and more recently, composer-producer-movie scorer and all around musical talent, will be strutting his stuff at the Aud on Saturday, October 12, at 8:30 p.m. Tickets for this exciting event are on sale at Norton Ticket Office and all Festival outlets. ~ Failures like 11 Harrowhouse are particularly annoying because of the trivial ways they fail. The movie is so unambitious that its individual problems are not grand pratfalls (as were the problems in Daisy Miller ) but, rather, embarassing little stumbles, burps, and dribbles. Its publicity material inexplicably tries to hawk it as a Poesque, almost Gothic horror tale of insects, haunted houses, and mystery. Really, it's just the story of two fairly wealth jet-setters who attempt to steal several billion dollars worth of diamonds from England's diamond-controlling "system". - - Chesser (Charles Grodin) and Maren (Candice Bergen) are the principle thieves. About the middle of the movie, they are shot with darts that paralyze them, and the performers never recover. Actually, they are static and uninspiring right from the start two new dummies from Bergen's dad's collection. It's not that their acting is unconvincing as much as like it’s not really acting at all. They just appear fact, one scene near celebrities on a game show. In the end, where dressed in black jump-suits and they do acrobatics to steal the gems, sneakers Iqoks more like the celebrity portion of Beat the Clock than anything else. — — — — One for the show The twosome deliver their lines as if they were reading from scribbled cue-cards; Bergen, for her part, has precious (?) little to say, anyway. She's just a decoration like the female assistant in a magic looking curiously like a manikin. She show changes clothes so often in the film that it becomes something of a fashion show. At one point, even her hair is tinted green. Because these stars and the plot are so dull, an attempt has been made to pump a little zip into the but the effort is a bit like shooting movie adrenalin into a corpse. What is tried is to have Grodin narrate the story with chic, witty comments — Our Weekly Reader Into Deepest Space by Fred and Geoffrey Hoyle (Harper & Row $6.95) The film 2001: A Space Odyssey struck many of its viewers with a force that was not even hinted at in the book. It is obvious that film was the perfect medium through which the emotional impact of the story could reach its full effectiveness. The actual physical laws governing the Star Gate through which Bowman passed, however, were not explored in the film. Into Deepest Space takes the journey of 2001 and leaves behind the religious aura imposed by Arthur C. Clarke. It presents a theoretical explanation of Clarke's novel without even m£htioning 2001. Fred Hoyle is one of the world's leading astro physicists and was formerly Plumian Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge, where he established the Institute for Theoretical Astronomy. Geoffrey Hoyle is a television story consultant active in the making of documentary films. Together they put together the science and the art in such a way as to create an enjoyable, pure science fiction novel. Science wins out because of its importance to the plot, whereas character development and setting are but minor points, yet the interesting aspects of the plot overshadow most of the artistic losses. Suffering alone During the many years that Fred wrote alone, his work often suffered as he constantly went off on scientific tangents, neglecting both plot and character. In 1967 his collection of short stories entitled Element 79 was generally well-received by the science fiction reading public, which claimed to see potential in it. Fred, with the help of Geoffrey, is now beginning to change that potential energy into action. In order to comprehend the awesome scope of the book, it is necessary to mention a bit of the plot. The story is a typical space opera filled with earth's political dealings in the year 2011 as we are faced with a threat from space. The Yela are the enemy; Dick Warboys and three Ursa Major allies named Betelgeuse, Rigel and Alcyone represent our planet. To ward off a Yela attack, a lithium bomb is —continued on Prodigal Sun page 12— — — on the action. These remarks come to sound painfully like the comments that Johnny Carson makes about the “funny football" clips on The Tonight Show. In 11 Harrowhouse, the effect is even worse since, unlike the football clips, the movie's action is not itself interesting, and since the remarks made in the film do not even seem spontaneous. It is embarassing to and recording on film imagine someone writing a line like, “If we got out of this, no matter how much they apologized, I wasn't coming back", as a — — commentary on a life or death chase scene. You know they meant it to be funny, but. . Since as a along with Jeffrey Bloom Grodin is listed co-writer of the screenplay, most of this "wit" is likely his own. On interview programs, Grodin exhibits a similar we find his idea of a joke is to crow lack of wit about his success in The Hearbreak Kid. Bergen seems quite perceptive during interviews, so she probably had even less to say to Grodin off-camera . — — — than she does on-screen. Two fof the money Two of my favorite actors, James Mason and John Gielgud, have taken parts in this flick the former as a diamond-system employee who helps Chesser and Maren in their crime, and the latter as the manager of that diamond system. The ways they approach their roles are quite different. — that he should have to resort to this clowning, but I don't see what else he could do with this film except not be in it If the comparisons in this review seem to rely more heavily on television than usual, it's because the film seems a lot more like the worst parts of the 11 small screen than do most other movies. Harrowhouse has not so much been influenced by television, as it has grown out of television. Its spenes are like film clips, self-contained and ready for shipping to the nearest self-explanatory talk-show. "11 Harrowhouse" even sounds like a station identification message. The film hits me in the same way that the Chariot of the Gods book series, Merv Griffin, and "Stump the Band" do. These items are packaged products. They are abrasive and, even more - to the point, gratuitous. Plug 11 Harrowhouse is playing at the Holiday 6 Theater Friday, 11 October 1974 The Spectrum .

(Claire Hamill, the scheduled third act, was absent due to immigration problems; no one apparently minded.) Hot licks and sweaty faces On comes Mr. Goose Farts himself, stocky, sweatshirted, and looking fresh from Peelle Field. Right down to business with "Morning Is The Long Way Home," sans lyrics, and "Louise." Ahhh, yes, it's all there; breathtaking speed and clarity, impeccably precise picking and fingering, the slide drifting ever so easily across the fretboard, the smooth, deep voice. He greets the largely N.V.C. audience basking in the heat of closeness: "Hi, I'm Tom Seaver; I want to thank you for coming here and sweating your asses off." There were plenty of favorites, for instance "Stealing," "Tiny Island," "Bean Time" (played in a lower key than usual, and sounding rather strange), and "The Last Steam Engine Train." The bottleneck "Vaseline Machine tours de force from his early Takoma album Gun" and "The Sailor's Grave on the Prairie" showed how much poise and confidence Kottke's gained since his earlier days, as did the slithery "Tennessee Toad," which he said "I'd'listen to all the time if I had phlebitis" (laughter and applause). There were accounts of his being dragged from a party into a Minnesota Highway Dept, station ("Is this where you live?" "No, but it's where I'm gonna throw up."), and his affection for "custom" guitars "hand-made by a dwarf from Guatemala." (One of his 12-strings was hand-made by a Yugoslavian named Bozo, and that's the gospel truth.) — — A howl of a finale Kottke did a few new instrumentals, the best of which was a slide tune (very reminiscent of "The Spanish Entomologist" from Greenhouse) which combined "San Antonio Rose" with "America the Beautiful" to delightful effect. "Hear the Wind Howl" was the official finish, but you don't get up from Christmas dinner while there's still food on the plate, so Kottke was summoned back for an encore. After another attempted exit, he served up dessert: his mellow medley of "Crow River Waltz," Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," and the supersonic "Jack Fig." Exeunt omnes 901 smiling faces and 1802 smiling feet.

The earth is now a silent planet set off from the rest of the galaxy and forced to withstand further Yela attacks alone because of its own folly. Doomsday machine Doom seems to be at hand. 1015 tons of hydrogen are approaching the planet, no doubt collected by the Yela with the intent of igniting the gas and thereby reducing the planet to ashes. Man's folly then proves beneficial to him, for along with screening out radio waves, the electron particles cause the massive bulk of hydrogen to evaporate. As the story runs on, Dick and his three friends are sent out in an Ursa Major ship, to find and destroy the enemy. The Vela get the upper hand but then lose tit to an even more powerful entity, and here's where the tnrfir most elaborate twists in plot. The Ursa Major ship, heretofore held captive by the Yelas, is suddenly freed as it is drawn to a quasar, beside which exists that matter-consuming phenomenon which possesses the highest form of gravitation, the black hole. The ship then undergoes a change, the astronauts lose consciousness, and they wake up to find themselves orbiting earth. This earth, however, has continents which show only an aging of a few thousand years from the time they left. The voyage they took, according to mathematical calculations based on star charts, was one of several million years, while the crew of the ship subjectively aged only two years. The discrepancies in temporal appearances are explained, though hypothetically, by Dick, who reasons that a white hole was also involved in the changes and that the world they are now in is a parallel.

The Spectrum Friday, II October 1974 . A different world Earth, in the new world, is quite different from that which they left. This planet is barbarian and the four are proclaimed gods by the barely human inhabitants. The contrast between the human race as Dick now perceives it and the highly advanced intelligence of the entity living in conjunction with the quasar is as sharp as can be made, as well written as the psychedelic scenes in 2001 were filmed. The importance of this short novel lies entirely in the last chapter; the body of it being just short of boring. Even the last section cannot redeem it from obscurity, and it certainly is not of Hugo-winning proportions. It is interesting in that it brings up the theories of Carl Sagan regarding the black hole-white hole controversy. Into Deepest Space makes use of concepts one would never expect in a novel, such as levo and dextro rotary properties of living material.

I'm talking about nostalgia (the. media hypnotizing and eluding true realities) making it cool enough to put some Black "mammie" shit on television: "Good Times" and "That's My Mama." I am not criticizing whether this programming is real or not. They would have never dared that kind of production in the sixties? You wouldn't have let them. You weren't frying your hair then. The point is, when white children dig "The Brady Bunch," they get some subconscious image of purity of peace of mind and financial security: What do Black children get?

I was involved with a very few individuals about four years ago in a cultural event that took place in the Black community, heading the Herbie Hancock Sextet, Gary Bartz, Archie Sheep & Simbabwe, the original Birthright band, Charles Gayles, and McCoy Tyner. Nobody was too up on Herbie's shit then. I don't blame the public.

" Haiti, Browne together again for a concert of the Century Anyone who is into a little-known group or musician has experienced that feeling of shock, dismay and surprise when they realize that all this talent, so apparent to them, is going unnoticed by the public at large. I'm no different. I am still shocked, dismayed and surprised when I meet people who have never heard of Jackson Browne or Bonnie Raitt. I should qualify that. People have heard of Jackson (oh, yeah, "Doctor My Eyes," right?), but only to a very limited extent. Since Bonnie's never released a single, her fans are even fewer and farther between. I really shouldn't be surprised. Since neither of them really fits into the current narrow limitations of acceptable radio fare, they get very little air play, and since that's where most people get turned on to new music . . . well, I shouldn't be surprised. Actually, what their lack of commercial success really comes down to is that they both have a quality that's become increasingly rare in the music business; integrity. California country-rock Jackson Browne comes out of Southern California, and the country-rock sound we have come to-associate with that area is obviously one of his major influences. Since his first album was released in 1971, he has met with critical acclaim at every turn, and quite rightly so. His music is not Prodigal Sun can't just dance to it, or let it overcome you. No, you have to really listen. You have to use your mind, and for that's some people, a little hard. Nevertheless, it's worth the effort. Browne is a consummate songwriter. His talent is twofold. Musically, it means memorable melodies, beats that stick to your ribs, a knowledge of the dynamics of a song that takes you to the highs and lows with each new chord change. But perhaps even more important and unique is his ability to write intellgient, perceptive, artistic lyrics. Yet, easy. You poetry. Poetry? Jackson is not the type of writer to take up political stands or social causes. No, he finds more than abundant subject matter in his own relationship to the rest of the universe. He is one of those rare characters who can raise his own commonplace experiences to a level of higher and deeper meaning, and sooner or later, you relate the songs directly to your own life, always finding that his sensitivity and insight has enriched your sense of your own situation. And even though there is the touch of the cynic in his words, he is still at heart a romantic. In these days of gloom and pessimism, anyone with that kind of outlook is a truly precious commodity. Bonnie Raitt comes out of a more theatrical background. Her father is John Raitt, Broadway singing star. Perhaps her musical style is a reaction to that scene one of Bonnie's best qualities is her — down-to-earth iness. Bonnie has one of the best voices in the business. Besides having quite a broad range (that is, of notes), she has an equally broad range of expression in her vocal style she is as light as a cloud, as sweet as — a diamond (polished or in or a clod of gravel and dirt, depending on the song. She is also unique in her ability to play guitar. For ballads and soft numbers, she can fingerpick with clarity, taste, and precision. Okay, a lot of chicks can do that. But Bonnie also plays a mean lead, slide, and electric guitar (I mean mean). There is something else that sets Bonnie apart from the rest of the field. It's that word I mentioned before (remember?) integrity. Bonnie likes to sing ballads and the blues, and she's one of the few white ladies who can. Although rock and roll or pop would definitely send her shooting to the top of the charts, she stays away from that stuff. She sings what she wants the way she wants, and that takes a lot of strength. I used to think that musicians weren't really musicians unless they wrote their own songs. I still do, basically, but Ms. Raitt's expertise on her chosen instruments more than compensates. cotton candy, the rough), This Monday night Jackson and Bonnie will be at the Century Theater. Both of them are dynamic in concert. Jackson’s band has a tendency to let loose a lot more in concert than on record, and with the excellent backup men he's got, the music can be nothing short of outrageous. You never know who Bonnie's going to bring along, but having seen her play just with Freebo (her ever-constant fretless Fender bassman), and with a full band, I can safely say that whoever her accompanists are, her talent alone is sufficient to insure a great set. Also, both Bonnie and Jackson have extroverted stage personalities they talk to you, really make you part of the which should add to the experience — festivities Raitt and Browne have a working She's recorded some of his songs, sung harmony on some of his albums. Their music and voices go very well with each other. Hopefully, they will do some numbers together, which all in all would make it one unforgettable night.

Fleetwood Mac Heroes Are Hard to Find (Warner Brothers) Just about every group undergoes face changes, and Fleetwood Mac is no exception. Remember back when they were all guys and their big ambition was to produce an orchestral-choral biography of Christ (that was Jeremy Spencer's brain child)? Well, Fleetwood Mac's music is still mellow, and John McVie's wife, Christine, does add an enticing effect with her singing. Today's Fleetwood Mac consists of Mick Fleetwood, drums; John McVie, bass; Christine McVie, keyboards and vocals; and Bob Welch, guitar and vocals. Other than a little shuffling over the years, they are still as good as they always were. Their music is the type to sit back, put up your feet, sip wine, and relax to. Remember the soft warm effect of "Black Magic Woman," done by Santana? Well, it was written by Peter Green, who at that time was with Fleetwood Mac and is a prototype of their musical style. It's been about a year, and time for a new album. But time has not hastened their efforts, as is seen in the superb quality of this album. It is a rare occurrence when both sides of an album are really good. Yet such is the case with Heroes Are Hard To Find. All the cuts flow into one another, setting a mood throughout the album. "She's Changing Me" shadows their folk past with its sweet harmonies. Whispery and haunting is the melody in "Coming Home." The ARP string emsemble gives it a charm of its own, reminiscent of Jim Morrison's "Riders On The Storm." And the title cut, "Heroes Are Hard To Find," demonstrates the group's virtuosity along with the mystic rhythm in "Bad Loser." Page fourteen The Spectrum Friday, 11 October 1974 . . You cannot do an album of this calibre justice if you try to classify the songs. Anyway, Fleetwood Mac could never have a label. They just play music that's a pleasure to listen to. It's soft, well rounded, and gives you a warm glow inside. The members all complement each other simply by realizing that pure harmony is more important than a lot of noise. They seem to put their hearts and souls into whatever they play. You can feel the emotion ooze from their music. It is this factor that always makes you want to hear more, V If you have never heard Fleetwood Mac before, here is a golden opportunity to treat yourself to some really fine music. Otherwise, you'll nevery know what you've been missing. —Susan Wos Prodigal Sun �Jackson Browne Late For The Sky (Asylum) Sooner or later, most artists develop a formula. those creative True, there are always exceptions geniuses who can work within many frameworks like Picasso, like the Beatles. But on the whole, they stick to a basic structure like Rembrandt, like Jane — — — Bonnie Raitt Streetlights (Warner Bros.) It's a sad and all too frequent story; the more albums a recording artist makes, the more production creeps in. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't matter, sometimes it does heavy damage. I'm still not sure which category Bonnie's latest falls into; I'll present the case, you be the jury. (Let me say right now that I love everything Bonnie does. I'm just not sure yet whether I love this album more or less than her others.) If you've been following Bonnie's achievements up to now, you know about the trend I've mentioned. Her first Ip was recorded (basically live) in a home studio with friends/musicians. Her second was most of also done with a bunch of musician friends in Woodstock whom are now known as Orleans. Both albums have a very raw and simple quality that makes them very attractive. Some Of the best songs — on those discs are just Bonnie and bare back-up; bass, drums and a guitar (i.e., "Love Me Like A Man"). Good blues doesn’t need much more than that. With Takin'My Time, it started creeping in: a full band on almost every cut, some horns here and there, a feeling of a polished product. Which brings us up to Streetlights. Streetlights is her slickest yet, and the largest departure she's ever taken from her usual fare. It's not so much the material as the production. It's professional to the last note, and a "production" in the sense that most of the songs are replete with strings, horns, a full band and back-up vocalists. It's fairly obvious that Jerry Ragovoy, the producer, said, "Look, here's what I'm gonna do with you." Bonnie's vocals are very versatile. She can tear your heart out with a ballad or knock your ass off the seat when she sings the blues. On her earlier recordings, that earthy, bluesy feeling came through especially well. Now, place her in the middle of all those instruments. Most artist and groups have a tendency to get lost in the shuffle. Not Bonnie. On Streetlights, she comes through as out front as ever. The first two songs on the album are "That Song About the Midway" (Joni Mitchell) and "Rainy Day Man" (James Taylor). I must admit, the arrangements are unique enough to give both songs new life, and Bonnie's vocals are so melancholy and beautiful that everything else kind of fades away. Then she does "Angel From Montgomery" (John Prine). The lyrics, by themselves, are very powerful. "If dreams were thunder/ And lightning was desire/ This house would have burnt down a long time ago." The song is done in a slow and definitve style, and sung with a controlled rage that keeps building to the very end. If John hears it. I'm sure he'll say that's exactly how the song was meant to be sung. I suppose it's the funk/rhythm and blues songs that are really the most different. Up to now, Bonnie has usually approached them from the Delta blues angle: slide guitar and grit and guts vocals. Here, they have a much heavier pop orientation. Her vocal renditions haven't really changed, just the context. "I Got Plenty" and "Ain't Nobody Home" are two good examples. They do make you rock, bump, and but I'm not sure if all that grind she still sings from the depths stuff behind her adds or detracts to the feeling. That same doubt also the ones that are enters my mind in respect to some of the soft tunes more lavishly produced (like "Got You On My Mind"). Although the final verdict won't be in for some time yet, I do find Streetlights an enjoyable listening experience (hell, she could sing "Pop Goes the Weasel" and make it great). And though I don't know yet whether the operation was a success, at the very least, I give Ms. Raitt a —Willa Bassen great deal of credit for having the guts to experiment. — — — r^AURLJlM HWOCRAFKD and ANTIQUE JENA/BJTt »-i; / Prodigal Sim /130-200/ Austen, like Jackson Browne. Obviously (as you should infer from my examples), the use of a fixed point of reference does not necessarily mean that creativity is stifled. Just the opposite. If you continue to work with certain constants, your skill within those boundaries is bound to become more and more precise, more refined, more sensitive, more highly polished. Like Jackson Browne. Late For The Sky is Jackson's third album, and follows the basic Browne formula. That is to say, the songs are every bit as excellent as his preceding material, and in some of the same ways. They are country-rock oriented, ranging from slow ballads ("Late For The Sky") to medium tempo tunes with Browne's type of distinctive definitive beats ("Fountain of Sorrow"), to raunchy rockers ("The Road and the Sky"). The instrumentation follows the pattern too: guitars, piano, bass and drums only. Now, although I am aware that Jackson is following a formula, it is hard to say exactly what that formula is. A preference for certain chord changes, an immediately recongizable vocal style, a method of arrangement, the use of certain vocal harmonies (the root above the fith, know what I mean?), the way he counters straight-ahead beats with syncopation, a knack for writing lyrical and/or catchy melodies (singable, that is) a subtle musical sense of taste; all these things contribute to the sound that has come to be known as his alone. Certain of his back-up musicians have also become associated with his sound: notably the styles of David Lindley on electric guitar fiddle and slide and Doug Haywood on bass. O.K. So you know there's this formula, and when you put the album on, you hear, in a sense, exactly what you expected to hear. However, there are differences in the songs on this album that make it a new listening experience. As I said before, he becomes more polished with each new release. For one thing, the harmonies on this album are the most sophisticated and beautiful yet. He's begun to use them not only as lines above or below the melody, but as counterpoint melodies to the main vocal. The ones on "The Late Show" and "For A Dancer" are He's begun to use particularly touching. orchestration, very slightly and very tastefully. And the songs are, in general, longer. He’s allowing the band more time for breaks and solos, and with David Lindley and Jai Winding (piano and organ), it's all for a very good reason. At this point, those of you who are Jackson Browne fans are probably wondering why I haven't said anything about the lyrics yet. I've been saving the best for last. The lyrics on Late For The Sky are just as excellent as everything that has come before. Browne is a true poet. Even though he writes from a very self-oriented point of view, his insight into the human condition never fails to make you turn inside and think about a lot of things. It is often his use of metaphor that gets his points across most strongly. "The Late Show" is a good example. The song is about the barriers that people put up: as protection from others, and from themselves. The last verse (which, by the way, relates to the cover which is a take-off on a Magritte painting) goes; It's like you're standing in the window Of a house nobody lives in And I'm sitting in a car across the way Let's just say it's an early mode! Chevrolet Let's just say it's a warm and windy day You go and pack your sorrow, the trashman comes tomorrow Leave it at the curb and we'll justpul I away. Right now, I can't imagine Browne ever going stale. As long as there are human foibles, and considering that we all have to use the same eight notes anyway, it's conceivable that he could go on producing albums as fine as his first three for as long as he feels like it. —WiUa Bassert Also included is their rendition of the same old Lindisfarne Happy Daze (Elektra) "sitting by the river" type theme, appropriately Lindisfarne is one of a sizeable number of rock groups that are very well known and well received in England, but barely a whisper is heard about them in America. At about the time of their earlier albums, Fog on the Tyme and Nicely Out of Tune thery were reported to be the number two group in England. (No, I don't know who number one was, unless it was Rod Stewart in first and Marc Bolan third. Which shows it depends on who's doing the reporting. I guess I was reading too much Circus mag. at the time.) Anyway, I never heard too much of Lindisfarne, and if Happy Daze is typical of their stuff, then either I rank with fellow unrefined Americans who don't appreciate upcoming imported delicacies, or those album-buying Britons can't tell a D-chord from a G-string. Lindisfarne is one of those "sounds like" groups. You know, where practically everything "sounds like" something else by someone else. This can be especially nerve-wracking because you can be lying down listening when all of a sudden you think: "Now where have I heard this before? Doesn't this sound like —?" and you'll be groping through your memory until you finally remember. Happy Daze opens with "Tonight," and Lindisfarne gets off the ground with a good, bouncy intro piece and a decent single as well. Linsay Jackson is fine on vocals and plays the mandolin well, too. If there is any song on this album that one might dare to sing during the day, it would be "Tonight" with its fetching refrain. "In Year Head" is a free-wheeling song, somewhat reminiscent of the Springfield's lighter stuff. The chorus is very Hollies-ish, with everyone singing together with a fresh, polished sound. Each person in the group sings a line or so of the lead, and when Ken Craddock’s turn comes, he sings remarkably like an imitation Dylan. The overall effect is pas mat but you might say it lacks called "River." The song is of course mellow, with vocals similar to the folk duet "Aztec Two-step." The lead guitar progresses into a rhythm riff and it's not hard to imagine Greg Lake doing "From the Beginning." We don't have Keith E. here to accompany but we do have James Hull playing a good recorder, rounding out the song nicely. "No Need to Tell Me" is a fooler. Starting with a short piano intro, one can think that a serious song in the "Renaissance" vein is commencing when, disappointingly, it goes into a bouncy, bluesy tune. We're back to the "sounds like" game with "Dealer's Choice," which sounds like something Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show would do. As a matter of fact, it sounds like them doing it. "Nellie" and "The Man Down There" are Lindisfarne's attempt at the "Merry Olde Folke Song." The former in the fashion of Pentangle (complete with imitation Jackie McShee accompaniment) and the latter in the mode of Fairport Convention sans Sandy Denny (but with Richard Thompson on vocals). The overall effect is, I suppose, passable, if only because of the pleasing nature of the English folk song. Happy Daze on the whole is not an outstanding album. I would not suggest buying it because its entertainment value is minimal. If you have a small record collection, there's plenty of better stuff to catch up on. If you own a sizeable number of discs, then believe me, you don't need this one. I don't know what it is about Lindisfarne that the British like so much. I suppose that their previous efforts were more laid back and consistent. But they've branched out into areas already strewn with artists, which is a major problem for musicians of today, and one of the causes of the quickening decline of quality rock music so apparent these days. —Jerry Duci originality.

Questions have been raised whose about responsibility it is to fund the Day Care Center on this campus. This letter is a response to those who do not see that it is the responsibility of the SUNYAB administration. This is a public University, and the fact that it is supported by the people of New York State tarries particular obligations that allow for public access. That single women and minorities, that working people in general have been systematically excluded from “prestige” public universities is almost an axiom of the population of such schools. In a small way, the state has recognized the inequity and has set itself up with guidelines for Affirmative Action this is a program and a body of law meant to include some of the consistently excluded. Essentially, and as it applies to SUNYAB, the Affirmative Action program obligates the University to systematically correct programs and structures that have excluded women and minorities. Now where does the UB Day Care Center fit into all this? Right in the middle is the substantial answer, the UBDCC serves those who have been historically excluded from attending UB those who now, by law must be affirmatively sought-out for inclusion in the University’s program. For whether the SUNYAB system in Albany has committed itself to supporting day care is a secondary question. As an agency of the state it has a prior obligation to affirmatively seek out women and minorities and if this principle of support is to become support-in-fact, day care must be supported in fact. This means money.

A misconception on my talent as a writer compelled me to send away for that free FSFW brochure. The Famous School For Writers is the oldest and least regarded correspondence school of its kind. As of last summer, the members of the advisory board could boast as much talent as the staff of the TV Guide. Some board members were my all-time favorites; Bennett (He’s been dead for months?) Cerf, Jacquiline (She’s almost dead) Suzanne, and Rod (There is a fifth dimension) Serling. I hoped and prayed that Rod Serling would be my personal tutor. I mean, who knows more about writing nifty stuff than Rod Serling? Funny thing about writing away for brochures. One usually forgets everything about them until the mailman comes one sunny day and plops that envelope in your arms. 1 was flabberghasted. “Duh, 1 don’t remember writing away for this.” “I’m just a mailman, kid. I only deliver this shit.” Unlike most things I begin, 1 decided to follow through with the course. Apparently, I had a head start since the FSFW said 1 showed promise in may early writings. (Remember now, my previous writings consisted of my vital statistics on that mailing card.) I tore the envelope apart, searching fanatically for the name of my personal tutor. Was it Vonnegut? Updike? Albee? I’d even take Hemingway. No, no, no. It was R. Serling. 1 wasn’t sure if he was Rod Serling since the letter was actually signed “R. Serling.” R. Serling of the FSFW. And he had an assignment for me, even. Each week, we FSFW students were given writing assignments, not necessarily geared toward our interests and pet perversions. R. Serling probably liked me best since the topics he gave could be easily tackled by a two-year old. ASSIGNMENT NO. 1: Describe TIME (In 100 words or less) Hmmm. A nice specific topic with plenty of lee-way to expand, no less. Was R. Serling kidding? But a good writer is a true writer and a true writer writes true things. I think somebody English said that. So 1 described time: “Time makes the world go ’round and also makes the hands of a clock go ’round too. People are always saying to ‘take your time’ although at the same time they say they never have enough time to do things. I suppose time is money but the way the economy is going, there won’t be enough time to go around.” Pretty good, huh? That’s what I thought also. However, this assignment was returned to me weeks later and I didn’t recognize it. My own baby! R. Serling had evidently done some editing: “Time, the infinite trolly car. Some call it a void, a facade, an illusion. For Cathy McQuire, it represents something totally different, a kind of escape from the mundane aspects of a not-so-ordinary life. For Cathy, time is about to stop.” Who’s Cathy McQuire? What does a trolley car have to do with it? Boy, that R. Serling could write! But, where had I seen that style before? I was given no advice, aside from that revised piece on Time (at least I think it was Time) so I plodded along to the next topic: ASSIGNMENT NO. 2; Describe: A MIRROR (In 100 words or less) It took me a while but I figured it was a trick question. What do you see when you look into a mirror? And so: “My bedroom mirror is almost three feet tall, from the waist up. The last time I looked at it, it had brown, curly hair, brown, bedroom eyes, a classic nose, sensuous mouth, and a build that Charles Atlas would envy. For some reason, the mirror’s appearance changes whenever someone different stands in front of it. If anything, it’s a great thing to have at a party.” Okay, so 1 stretch the truth a little. Who doesn’t? Anyway, I expected a Grade A mark from my tutor. This time, however, it was not to be. The mighty pen of R.

The lecture was one of a series sponsored by the Rand Foundation, which Future plans Prof. Haar also discussed plans for the future, addressing himself to the question, “What is a New City?” Such a concept may mean different things to many people, and in a country as large and diverse as the United States, any program must accommodate a broad range of interests, he emphasized.

According to documents in the Buffalo archives collection, he invented it. The myth developed'as a result “discovery-invention” of the elementary in controversy schools. When teachers wanted to teach the difference between invent and discover, they always chose Mr. Columbus’ feat as the perfect example of discovery, when, in fact, it was invention. The real discovery, by Europeans that is, was made by Nordsmen in the tenth century. It was Columbus, though, who made America a popular place for Europeans, and he is therefore credited with its discovery. with an a man Columbus, extensive business background, attracted trade to the new land by opening up boutique and head shops along the eastern coast. He knew the recycled fur trade would attract many entrepreneurs to the new land. Humble boy seeks wealth At the age of ten, young Christopher knew he wanted to make a lot of money, achieve great fame and do very little work. The son of a humble weaver, Christopher loved boats. After his father was transferred to the Lisbon office of Humble Weaving, Inc., he would often daydream along the piers of Portugal about the day he could throw society parties aboard his stop him, he put his hand on her “You like the ocean?” asked the old Word. “It’s alright,” said the shy young Christopher. “How would you like to sail the seas on a big boat?” asked the old drunkard, slobbering Hiram Walker Apricot Brandy. The young boy’s eyes lit up. A boat! Young and naive he listened on as the drunkard told him of the new land. “It is all there,” said the Nord. “All you have to do is go over there and invent it. You can ask the Queen for three boats, which she will gladly grant for such a noble cause. You just need to come up with a good gimmick something like the earth is a massive rhombus and perhaps she’ll consider you an inventer.” royal shoulder to stop her royal flush. Needless to say, the boy and woman the made an exchange, and she gave him three boats to sail the ocean blue on the condition that he promised to bring back some sweaters from Mexico for her. Off to sea Christopher set out with ninety of his friends as crew, including the old Nordic drunkard so they’d have something to laugh at in the absence of TV. Christopher, who — Fears Rhombus’ Comers because he didn’t like the idea of sailing near the corners of a rhombus, where he could easily fall off. And since he was inventing the whole thing anyway, he figured what the heck. A circle would be more believable. The Queen of Portugal’s secretary told young Christopher, at the threshhold of manhood, that he could not see the royal woman until he presented a one petition with hundred signatures. Since the youth had little time to waste before some other entrepreneur found the hot spot, he went immediately to Queen Isabella of Spain. King Ferdinand had been visiting relatives in Denmark at the time, and when Christopher came to Spain, the queen was out in the garden weaping out of loneliness. Young Christopher saw her, and before the guards could had navigation skill in his blood, steered the ship in a direction once every morning. The rest of the time on the boat is said to have been the first great and immoral American party. Wine consumed, marijuana was inhaled, and various sexual was activities were performed.

Some of the Indians decided to these dizzy foreigners, to their for a time. When camps Christopher saw many of their leather jackets and hand-crafted pottery, he knew the lovely Isabella back home would adore these. He sent these to her, along with a note apologizing for not getting the Mexican sweaters. He sent silver chains also her handcrafted by the Indians. Christopher then realized that these trinkets could sell for high prices in Spain and Portugal, and the Indians charged very little for these items. It was then that he started the Columbus Bay help out and they Christopher decided the world was a circle, instead of a rhombus, Right from the start, you knew Tampax tampons were your best bet.

Its significance was not realized by several people who told me that the comment did not belong with the story, that it was trite, old hate and has no relevance to baseball’s first black manager. In reality, there was a lot more to that statement than Williams himself realized. On one level Larry’s comment proclaims the fact. Its explanation is another story. Some scientists have attempted to prove that blacks are in fact physically superior. Statistics are available showing racial differences in ratio of muscle to fat, length and strength of bones, sitting height, and many other things related by the scientists to certain athletic skills (mostly sprinting speed and the vertical jump). Calvin Hill, star running back for the Dallas Cowboys and a Yale graduate, feels American blacks are the descedants of the stronger captured Africans, those that were able to survive the rigors of slavery, a racial and athletic form of Darwinian Extension. If you’re finding this a little hard to swallow, tokenism of the Robinson appointment. Despite you’re and a black not alone. It’s hard to believe that such things managers, black basketball coaches black head coach for the U.S. Olympic track team (Dr. could have significant effects in terms of millions of people. If there were any truth to these theories at Leroy Walker of North Carolina Central received that appointment several days ago), this country is all, it could at best explain a slight average still far from racial equality. Somehow I find it hard superiority. It seems obvious that the more to praise sports for breaking down racial barriers important, if not the only, cause for the disproportionate success of black athletes involves when the very city that has had black superstars like Bill Russell, Sam Jones, Jo Jo White, Reggie Smith, motivation and cultural conditioning. Sports has been one of very few outlets of the Jim Nance and most recently, Luis Tiant, cannot ghetto its schools. for many blacks. It is one of the only things, public integrate peacefully Even within sports, the rosy picture of justice traditionally speaking, where blacks can look and and racial equality that so many people have find other blacks succeeding, being given some kind swallowed whole due to the preponderance of black of chance. While white children can aspire to be faces on the sports pages, simply is not true. If it doctors and lawyers, black youngsters have had few were, Robinson’s appointment would not have been examples to look at in those areas. For many years, front page news and someone would have hired a they turned to sports as the only alternative, the black manager long ago. There is much evidence to only upward mobility available. And this has created a situation where 60% of support the existence of stacking and quota systems for black players on collegiate and professional the National Basketball Association is black. A teams. The disproportionate success of black athletes situation where people can look at professional has, by and large, not gotten them into managerial basketball and simply state, “Blacks must be natural and coaching positions as well as certain spots on the basketball players.” But the problem is even larger than that. The field, such as quarterback and offensive center. Many problem is how does one break down an essentially black athletes can attest to the fact that playing black stars has done little to break down the positive stereotype. Many blacks seem to enjoy the ftidividual racism of some coaches or their tendency image of being naturally endowed with athletic skills, to say nothing of natural rhythm. If one to use words like “nigger” and “colored.” Something else that Williams told me was very believes that, one could believe that blacks are lazy interesting. He stated that blacks have this natural and lack intelligence without extending their views tendency to play basketball that whites just don’t very far. Harry Edwards, the sociology professor have. “It must be something in the genes,” he said. I who proposed the black boycott of the Olympics in 1968, wrote that society has kept blacks from being suspect he was kidding, but whether or not he was serious, the fact is that it is a stereotype that many doctors and lawyers by leading them to believe that people believe. Isn’t it obvious from reading the they could only succeed as athletes. This may or papers that blacks are better athletes than whites? may not be true, but one thing is certain. Although Just look at the figures in baseball, football, track, sports certainly did not invent racism, it has been basketball, boxing. All show disproportionate used by some as a very convenient means to extend success for blacks. No one can argue with that basic it. Rolling 201: HOW TO ROLL BETTER Prof. E. Z.

The AFL, the ABA, the WHA, and most recently, the WFL have entered the big league sports world, and seem to be fairing well. By rounding up investors with millions of dollars, men like Gary Davidson (creator of the World Hockey Association and the World Football League) have contributed over 50 new franchises to the world of American pro sports, thereby increasing the total to well over 100. But is all this expansion good? Certainly, the owners are saying yes, as the greenbacks roll in. However, as an average fan, I don’t like this movement. Somehow, Bob Gladieux is not the kind of player I want as the offensive star of my football team. I don’t like to see a mediocre ballplayer landing a $75,OCX) contract because the San Diego Conquistadores or Portland Trailblazers need a guard who scores ten points and hauls down two rebounds a game. I don’t think it’s fair to the fan, nor to the owners. Further, it seems to allow the players to sit back and relax all season long. 1 was appalled when Derek Sanderson played in the WHA for two weeks, won $$00,000 in court, and then jumpted back to the NHL. That’s bush, but maybe the end is near. — Sun, storm and fire For the brand new World Football League, everything is not full of yellow and blue footballs and action points as it was cracked up to be last spring. The WFL is the fourth football league in operation since 1940. Portions of the other three are recognizable in the NFL today. However, things are really looking grim for the likes of the Southern California Sun, the Portland Storm and the Chicago Fire. In less than one season of play, the WFL has witnessed over a dozen franchise shifts. Players’ paychecks are, in many cases, weeks overdue. The Detroit Wheels, who have filed for bankruptcy, have had to borrow adhesive tape and shoelaces from their opponents. Most recently, the Jacksonville Sharks find themselves in deep financial peril. Along with the Wheels, their game for this week has been cancelled. Chuck Rohe, the WFL official currently managing Jacksonville, says that unless a sale of the Sharks is consummated in a few days, the Sharks will fold. If Jacksonville goes, might not Detroit, Charlotte and Shreveport follow close behind? Hopefully, yes. Probably, no. Despite all the economic headaches, the WFL has a television contract with TVS for a game of the week. This is something which is unprecedented for a league in its first year. Two franchises, Memphis and Birmingham, are looking at a possible profit picture for this year, another first in expansion. Thirdly, a comparison between the WFL and the other expansion leagues shows that the WFL is really no worse off than any other league in its infancy. But wait, Larry Csonka, don’t count your thousands till they are in the bank. During the early years of the AFL and ABA in particular, economic conditions were excellent for such expansion, but it still took years before they were firmly established. In 1974, WFL owners face “stagflation” and only recently loosened up money markets. This means that they cannot afford to take on too much debt in the early years. With any luck, the WFL will fold and expansion will end. To the owners, I say remember the Anaheim Amigos. To the players, two or three more endorsements will fatten your wallets adequately if they aren’t fat enough now. To the fans I say that the Brooklyn Dodgers are dead. Long live the Brooklyn Dodgers.

This year’s version lost a match. However, Dando stated: “This year’s team is better. They have the potential for low scores. Four or five Buffalo golfers are in the 70-71 area now.” Dando explained that Jim Gallery, last year’s ace, has had a knee injury which hasn’t allowed him to follow through his shot properly. “He’s capable and will get it together soon,” the coach added. Yesterday the ECAC Finals were held at Frosgate Country Club in Jamesburs, New Jersey. Dando was not sure of the competition, although he knew that Niagara and Cornell would be there from Buffalo’s qualifying tournament. He suspects that Temple and Central Connecticut will be strong contenders. “I’m going to play Hirsch No. 1; he’s earned it,” the coach claimed. “We have a good chance to win,” he added. “The key is having close individual scores.” THEATRE ORGAN HOUSEKEEPER/babysItter needed by 1967 VW BUG.

Call Susan 836-3589. 355 Norton Hall Tues., Wed., Thurs.: 10 a.m —5 p.m Last Saturday the Buffalo golf team, led by Mike Hirsch, won the ECAC Qualifier at Cornell. Buffalo’s first-ever victory in this event was lead by junior Mike Hirsch’s round of 77. The Bulls four-man contingent totaled 326. Coach Bill Dando described the Ithaca site as a “tough course,” but added, “the practice round on Thursday helped. Some of the other teams did not get the practice time because of inclement weather.” Sporting 7 bogies and 2 birdies, Hirsch played a brand of golf which he called “not exactly outstanding.” However, he took medalist honors anyway. Mike began the season well and then things went up and down for him. “It was partly me and partly the changeable weather. I wasn’t consistent,” he explained. The improvement of Hirsch over the last three matches is due to a change in attitude. “I’m looking for things as they come. We have lots of tournaments and I try to relax and enjoy them.

Those whose gross incomes are less than $15,000 annually from the exempt be will statements. He requested Congress and state and by Clem Colucci Mr. Ford estimated that the governments do the same. President Gerald Ford announced a ten-point anti-inflation plan yesterday that included a five percent tax surcharge on corporate and higher private income, a temporary public .employment program and overhaul of Federal regulatory policies. It explicitly rejected wage and price controls necessary, a 40 percent increase in also program Ford’s Mr. production, automotive gas mileage within stressed food independence from foreign energy four years. He also hinted at sources, stimulation of the loosening requirements of the housing industry and reduced Clean Air Act and called for federal spending. Speaking before a joint session of Congress, Mr. Ford tried to establish a bipartisan character for his economic proposals by saying he had accepted a number of Democratic from suggestions Congressional leaders. He said the battle against inflation required a “grand desing” and that past Federal efforts to deal with inflation were “just not good enough.” then outlined action to prices reduce and increase productivity in key sectors of the economy. President ten areas Ford for joint Food program development of novel energy sources. Mr. Ford called for an end to restrictive practices in both the private and public sectors of the economy. He said anti-trust laws would be enforced vigorously, citing price-fixing and bid-rigging as particularly harmful practices. noncompetitive He also said professional fee schedules would be investigated. This last remark drew only scattered applause from the many lawyers in Congress, because the probably legal profession has noncompetitive fee schedules. Mr. Ford proposed increasing penalities for anti-trust violations from $50,000 to $1 million for Citing the role of skyrocketing food prices in promoting inflation, for President Ford called agricultural increased production. To assure that this which increased production results lower in usually would not agricultural prices bankrupt farmers, Mr. Frod said — - the government would guarantee farmers adequate prices, hinting price support programs that would be expanded. Mr. Ford asked Congress to remove acreage limitations on such basic crops as rice, peanuts and cotton. He said the government would allocate more fuel for farm machinery, and promised close review of federal and marketing practices monitoring of production, margin, pricing and export policies. Ford announced the Mr. creation of a National Energy Board under the direction of Interior Secretary Rogers Morton to formulate a single national Secretary energy program. Morton’s more immediate assignment, the President said, AMerican oil was to reduce imports by one million barrels daily by 1975. Mr. Ford lashed out at international oil cartels, which one-third of provide America’s oil, for raising our oil bill by $16 billion in the past year. ! Energy independence on Reducing dependency foreign oil, Mr. Ford explained, requires both energy conservation and development of domestic energy resources. He said he would seek increased coal production and expansion of nuclear power facilities with the goal of eliminating oil-fired plants from electrical production by 1980. The President pledged to meet with officials of the automobile industry to request, and compel if More credit Stating “our capital markets are in total disarray,” President Ford asked for a program of “prudent monetary restraint.” He said Arthur BUrns, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, had assured him that the supply of money and credit would expand to relieve the present credit crunch. Mr. Ford cited recent reductions in the prime lending as rate an of government regulatory action. Free enterprise The Council on Wage and Price Stability would act as a watchdog, holding public hearings whenever major wage or price increases are contemplated. Mr. Ford said the Federal government would take a "long overdue look at the independent regulatory agencies.” (The previous day, Federal Trade Commission Chairman Lewis A. denounced certain Engman regulatory agencies, specifically the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Civil Aeronautics Board, as anti-competitive and inflationary. This would indicate that Mr. Ford’s proposed revision of Federal regulatory agencies will emphasize increased competition in regulated industries.) All proposals coming from the Executive branch of the Federal government, Mr. Frod emphasized, would be accompanied by inflation impact development and asked for a 10 investment tax credit, particularly for capital-intensive industries like primary metals and percent public utilities. He also mentioned liberalizing the capital gains tax, but did not expand on the point. President Ford also announced of expanded program unemployment insurance to come from the general treasury, not, as current unemployment insurance programs do now, from taxes on employers. As a short-term emergency measure, Mr. Ford called for creation of a Community Improvement Corps, reminiscent of the New Deal’s Works Projects Admiminitration. It would automatically employ people in public service jobs when the unemployment rate reached six percent nationally or six and one-half percent in any locality. When unemployment dips below these figures, the jobs will be terminated. a He expressed support for a tax reform bill currently before the Mouse and Means Ways Committee that would provide $1.6 billion in tax relief to lowerand middle-income families and raise revenue for public service jobs by closing tax loopholes and instituting a windfall profits tax on the petroleum industry. To stimulate the seriously depressed which industry housing (in unemployment has reached 12.5 percent), Mr. Ford asked that $3 billion be appropriated to allow take out home to people mortgages. This figure would for mortgages cover approximately 100,000 new homes. The inavailability of mortgage credit has hurt savings and loan institutions and inflation has caused people to withdraw or reduce their savings. Mr. Ford said increased mortgage credit would help thrift institutions. briefly mentioned the He responsibility of the United States in maintaining a healthy world economy and said he was working on a trade reform America.” The President said the 1975 budget would be balanced with a target spending ceiling of $300 billion. He said he would submit a list of budget deferrals and cuts. “No Federal agency including the Defense Department - will be untouchable,” he said. The President asked all Americans to “pitch in” in the fight against inflation. He said the time has come for “total mobilization of America’s greatest resources: the brains, the skills — the wills of the American Giving the military tone. would inflation battle a President Ford said set up a small organization to enlist “volunteer energy and fighters inflation who would mobilize savers” people to waste less and produce more. Mr. Ford commented that if all people drove five percent fewer miles, this would save 250,000 barrels of foreign oil a day. Sufficient self-discipline, he stressed, would eliminate our dependence on foreign oil. Near the end of his speech, Mr. Ford showed a blue button with the slogan “Win” stamped on it, reminding observers of the National Recover Act’s famous Blue Eagle and its “We Do Our Part” slogan. “Enlistees” in the fight against inflation will receive one. encouraging Tax relief corporations and from $50,000 to $100,000 for individuals. He also announced a four-point program surcharge would raise $5 billion to for new programs and called the tax “the acid test of our determination to whip inflation in pay that local and 9 October 1974 people.” he surcharge. , Special Features Editor Wednesday, of New York at Buffalo package.

However, to better combat the more serious violations, Mr. Price admitted that “both sides” would have to concede certain points. In a continuing effort to solve the problems of off-campus dwellers, a housing symposium, headed by Buffalo City Councilman Bill Price and members of the Mayor’s Housing Task Force, was held Monday in Norton Hall’s Conference Theater. Representatives of the Student Association (SA), the Student Legal Aid Clinic, and the New York Public Interest Group (NYPIRG) were also present.

Mr. Phillips, who served a six-month tenure at Hunger up to 1972 as one example of such the OEO under the Nixon Administration, emphasized “the lack of accountability to the public and the partisan tendencies” in the services. He described the OEO as “the nation’s largest law firm” and as an “oligarchical elitist power.” Its legal services lawyers are salaried agents of the federal government, but a board of directors composed of private citizens controls their activities. Mr. Phillips believes that a contradiction exists if private citizens are thus able to allocate governmental funds t,hat pay for legal services. are limited to courses by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor In an effort to publicize the lack of courses being offered to Millard Fillmore College (MFC) students, Sharon O’Farrell, Chairman of Student Affairs for the MFC Student Association, has initiated a study of the MFC courses offered over the past 11 semesters. Ms. O’Farrell feels that although MFC students are paying the same and in some cases more tuition 'than do day school students, they are being cheated because the same courses and degree programs are not available to them. “If a student wants to go to school full time and get a degree in four years, he should not be so inconvenienced that he can’t,” she said. “Students outside the School of Management,” stated the report, “are consistently offered the smallest variety of courses and the bare minimum of requirements needed to pursue study in given areas.” — — Chronic lack It showed what Ms. O’Farrell reported that there is a chronic lack of variety in courses outside of the School of Management. For example, in economics, three fourths of the offerings are different sections of the same introductory course and “one fourth of the total number of courses are upper level, giving majors in this field no variety whatsoever and the bare minimum of degree requirements.” In sociology and English, Ms. O’Farrell believes there are far too many introductory courses and too few upper level courses for students getting a degree in these areas. She also complained that MFC doesn’t offer courses in journalism, education or library science, which she feels people need to keep up in their fields. “If a teacher graduated with a degree ten years ago, there is no place in the city to keep up with new trends in education,” Ms. O’Farrell explained. continued. To alleviate the problem, she requested, in a meeting with Nicholas Kish, assistant Dean, and MFQadvisors, “that this administration look into ways and means of instituting more and varied courses in some of the fields of study.” Dr. Kish responded that the report did not give him any real, meaningful input into the problems of MFC students, noting that Ms. O’Farrell did not present any specific information about how many students wanted specific courses. He said he did not feel that the opinions of one or two students were enough to make changes. “I think her efforts need to be supported. She’s looking out for the interests of students, but she should get facts straight before she is prepared to attack the division,” Dr. Kish added. Demand determination MFC courses are offered on the basis of student demand, determined by registration and student surveys, he explained. More management courses, for instance, are offered because more students want them. Dr. Kish also said that Buffalo State College has in fact recently been criticized for offering courses for a small number of students. Since MFC is a night school for part-time students, “there has to be some limitations. We can’t have a degree program for one or two people,” he pointed out. He suggested that Ms. O’Farrell get in touch with each department to obtain specific facts and figures with regard to how many students want certain courses. “We’re certainly not here to deny students what they want. We’re trying to serve students to the best of our ability,” said Dr. Kish. by Louis Gerzofsky Spectrum Staff Writer Little control Next year’s projected budget of $100 million for OEO legal services includes the salaries and expenses of 7500 lawyers, extensive law libraries and various research projects, but there is little federal control over the funds. “This lack of economic restraints,” Mr. Phillips said, “has led to results which are objectionable.” He added that the legal services’ lawyers “can sue whomever they want to, as many times as they want t6.” He feels this is unfair to those private citizens and businesses who do not have the resources to fight the lawsuits. Legal services lawyers have the power to determine the eligibility of their prospective clients in receiving legal aid, Mr. Philips said, noting however that the lawyers “tend to want to defend organizations rather than individuals.” Members of the audience, in the discussion session that followed, though', retorted that this policy is an easier way to solve the problems of many people at once rather than a scattered few at a time. He felt that this policy has led to a monopoly of sorts. “Power doesn’t belong to the poor,” he commented, “it belongs to the legal services.” He sees the poor in a disadvantageous position as a result of this procedure. “If the poor can’t turn to legal services, then they have almost nowhere else to go.” ii » —Forrest unwarranted involvement, mentioning also legal services lawyers acting as “professional lobbyists for liberal concerns” and research they have done for such specialty groups as environmental and abortion law concerns. Mr. Phillips added that under his directorship the legal services’ only guideline was to provide a “high quality of individual representation.” Before and after his tenure lawyers were also directed to economic and educational development and law reform in the community, .but he rejected these principles because he doesn’t feel that individual lawyers should determine these matters. “This system makes a sham of the electoral process. Why hold elections if the country’s decisions are being made by legal service lawyers?” he asked. . Ruby Braff/George Barnes Hot from Newport!

Anonymous letters will not be considered. Exploring alternative funding by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor Day Care Center staff members are arranging a meeting with the seven Faculty Provosts to explore the possibility of obtaining some of the $29,000 that the Center needs to continue operating. Kathleen Cassiol, Day Care Center Director, said President Robert Ketter had suggested at last week’s meeting that the Center raise fees and cut salaries, something she claims the Center has already done. Ms. Cassiol indicated that the upcoming meeting with the Provosts was being scheduled as a result of the discussions with Dr. Ketter. “We’re going to follow some of the channels Dr. Ketter set forth,” she explained. ‘Director’ approved The only major development since last week was an announcement that Albany approved the establishment of a job line for Day Care director, officially called “assistant Dean.” This was the first time that any recognition of Day Care was recognized by Albany, Dr. Ketter explained. However, the decision probably will not have all the positive ramifications that observers had hoped for, since the job line carries with it no additional funding from the state. By approving the new position, the state has allowed the University to spend money for that purpose. Dr. Ketter said, adding that for the first time “we are not getting a definite no” on the issue. In the meantime, Ms. Cassiol has been seeking financial support through voluntary contributions. At a benefit for the Center last Wedesday at The Greenfield Restaurant, the store contributed 50% of its gross for the evening, with some of the employees giving up some of their salaries. The Vietnam Veterans against the War (WAW) also contributed funds to Day Care. Maintain effort Ms. Cassiol said she was determined to keep on fighting, emphasizing that “we’re still going to keep people informed of what’s happening.” The Psychology department has been conducting an Early Education Project (EEP) near Sister’s Hospital, where graduate students have been working with 16-20 four-year olds, four mornings a week. However, Leroy Ford, head of the program, asserted that the EEP “doesn’t remotely approach the Day Care Center.” He explained that this center is equipped for purely clinical uses, and has a very limited staff that could not offer adequate day care to young children Children are there strictly for observational purposes. Dr. Ford said. Charges of racism leveled at Santa Clara student press Student government and student press at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) are at odds in a controversy involving freedom of press, misconduct of student government, and charges of racism. The student government leaders, mostly black and chicano, have accused the editors of The Daily Nexus, who are predominantly white, of sensationalism and poor and selective coverage of minority and women’s affairs. Minority staff members have been harrassed, they charged, while the The Daily Nexus printed “unproven, exaggerated charges” of misconduct by student government leaders. T he Daily Nexus editors replied that their own charges of misconduct against student government leaders are true, and that they are carrying more minority and women’s news than ever before. Last year administration officials, fearing violence, formed a committee to study the problem, and later turned over supervision of The Nexus to a new press council. “People were getting more and more agitated. They were getting louder and louder. This is why we got into the act,” said George Smith, vice chancellor for student services. Misuse Last year, the Nexus published a series of articles outlining alleged misuse of student funds by the Black Student Union (BSU) and other minority organizations. Another series charged that Black Associated Students president Robert Norris had pressured a professor into raising his grade so that Norris would remain eligible to hold student office. Former Nexus editor Dave Carlson also charged that Mr. Norris carried a gun into a meeting of the Associated Students at which allocations to I 1 Gus 355 Norton even lower rates for more than five copies of the same original campus organizations were to be decided. Vice chancellor Smith said that the Nexus stories and Mr. Carlson’s charges were untrue. “We proved to our satisfaction no guns were brought to student government meetings,” he said, adding, “We didn’t find any real misuse of funds. It was a matter of opinion. Some people thought those funds should be used for other purposes.” Others, however, continue to claim the Nexus stories are true. “None of the stories were ever denied, although there were some exaggerations,” observed Harold Drake, assistant professor of history at UCSB and a member of the committee that studied campus press problems. And most minority student government officers are still angry. “All we got was negative coverage,” said William Bradford, member of the student legislative council. The The allegations were denied by Nexus right now is geared to Mr. Carlson and this year’s discredit the minorities on Editor-elect James Minow, who is campus.” also white.

The problem could be solved by moving The Nexus off campus like several other campus papers around the country, thereby making it financially independent, Ms. Chavis indicated. “I’d like to see it self-supporting off campus and let the people decide if they want to buy what’s in it. That’s the only way it can be held account able,” she said. Mr. Minow agreed, saying he too thought The Nexus should become independent of student fees by generating more money through ads. But he also said he was reluctant to move it off campus. “That would open the dor for another campus paper, and the Isla Vista-Goleta area does not have the ad\e rtising base to support two daily papers,” he added.

The voices that filled Harriman Theater Studio for two hours Friday night were those of playwright Bertolt Brecht, poet Jacques Prevert and the man responsible for replacing the usual rows of bleachers and plastic chairs with the checkered tablecloths and atmosphere of the cabaret, softly-lit author-critic-teacher-composer-singer Eric Bentley. Billed as “a program of theater songs,” Bentley’s repertoire actually included much more songs about love, songs about politics, political love songs. — Another song describes the plight of a member of the Christopher Street (Greenwich Village) Block Association who complains that “the flaming faggots burned down Greenwich Village ’til there was no place left for us to hide.” These songs were urbane, sophisticated and extremely funny, and the composer’s low-keyed delivery and witty introductions heightened the atmosphere of almost conspiratorial intimacy which pervaded the room during this segment of the show. Less intimacy Parts Two and Three of the program, made up of theater songs by Brecht (mostly with Eisler’s music) and settings of Prevert’s poems, respectively, diminished the sense of closeness between performer and audience which had been so well-established. Lines like the brothel-keeper’s encouraging advice to a melancholy 17-year-old prostitute in “The Love Market,” from the play ound Heads and Peaked Heads “there’s nothing quite like money as an aphrodisiac a girl’s knee only sags at the sight of money bags'’ suggests that the playwright’s lyrics - ... - effective his presentation of them seemed to be Eric Bentley Hungry microphones A far more serious problem, one from which the production really suffered, was the poor setup of the Theater Studio. The sound system swallowed and other miscellaneous material. The translations of Bentley’s lyrics and then seemed reluctant to give German and French lyrics were his, as were some of them back again, so that many lines were the tunes, with the rest of the credit going primarily unintelligible even at the front row of tables. This to Hans Eisler (“the most important of all Brecht’s was made even more annoying by the fact that half composers by far,” Bentley claimed, elevating his the audience could see only the top of Bentley’s stature high above that of the better-known Kurt head; the grand piano hid everything below his Weill) and Joseph Kosma. eyebrows.

In “I Dig America, But than it was. Still, Bentley’s choice of material was Which America Do I Dig,” he sings of an ill-fated fine; even the bottles of Liebfraumilch on each table love affair with his country, vowing that “Nixon weren’t bad.

Esposito City Editor A law designed to make government records more accessible to the public went into effect in New York State on Sept. 1. Known as the Freedom of Information Law, the statute applies to records of the state and its agencies (including the State University), and of all cities, counties, towns, school districts and any other special units established by law for public purpose. The law also prevents the disclosure of any information, such as medical or credit records, which might constitute “an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” The ‘intent’ portion of the legislation explains, “The people’s right to know the process of government decision-making and the documents and statistics leading to determinations is basic to our society. Access to such information should not be thwarted by shrouding it with the cloak of secrecy or confidentiality. The legislature therefore declares that government is the public’s business and that the public, individually and collectively and represented by a free news media, should have unimpaired access to the records of public, said Charles Dumas, director of Communications for the New York State Senate. The law also mandates that government officials provide places where the records can be inspected and copied, although a fee may be charged for such copies. In accordance with the statute, each governmental unit designates a public records access officer to oversee the disclosure of the information. However, Mr. Dumas said, it is not necessary for all information to go through that officer. Furthermore, should an individual be refused access to material he believes he is entitled to see, he may go to court to obtain the right. In addition, agencies are required to maintain an index of their records to facilitate finding the desired information. Anthony Manguso, Buffalo Corporation Counsel, believes that the new law is “comprehensive” and “has amplified rights which the public previously had,” adding that it “still protects those individual rights which have to be maintained as private.” A spokesman for the Erie County District Attorney’s office indicated that the county is now “working on implementation” of the law. government.” Some restrictions First of its kind Prior to the enactment of the new law, there was no legal requirement for governments to make most of their records Governmental agencies may still restrict disclosure of personal matters not relevant to the ordinary work of the agency; personal references of applicants exce when the applicant permits the release in writing); and medical or personal records of clients or patients in hospitals or medical facilities. The government may also prohibit the sale or release of agency lists of names and addresses for fund-raising or other commercial activities. Any item which is not essential to the ordinary work of the agency and which would cause personal woe or economic hardship to those identified if released may also be kept from the public. Information which would give an unfair business advantage to a competitor, for example, would probably not be released. The law also creates a committee on public access to records to advise agencies and municipalities on the workings of the new law; to issue guidelines for its operation, and to recommend amendments to the law. m 20lh Century-Fox Presents A FILM BY PAUL MAZURSKY ART CARNEY “HARRY& ITDI mb ® OPEN!

The Future of Athletics Committee will be charged with determining student opinion on athletics and presenting a coherent plan for the future of athletics. Mr. Jackalone will seek ten members representing different points of view on the scope and funding of intercollegiate athletics. The Constitutional Reform Committee must report by November 27 on proposed revisions of the SA Constitution. Mr. Jackalone and Executive Vice-President Scott Salimando have prepared a list of recommended changes, but Mr. Jackalone emphasized that the committee would have a free hand in drawing up its own revisions. — — One from Column A The Assembly also nominated seven candidates for the position of Student Assembly representative to the Executive Committee. The Assembly will pick two of these seven to replace former representatives Mark Carlin, who graduated last year, and Pamela Benson, who resigned because of other committments, which include chairing the Colleges Chartering Committee. The seven nominees are: Dennis Delia, Steven Schwartz, Gary Schwartz, Jeffrey Schier, Lou Scinta, Andreil Gadson and Karen Cunningham. Assembly members signed up for all standing committees except the Personnel and Appointments Committee. Representative Arthur LaLaonde proposed an amendment to the Constitution changing the method of selection for the Personnel and Appointments Committee, which screens all applicants for SA’s appointed positions. The current procedure is that the President appoints six members with the advice and consent of the Assembly. The Executive Vice-President sits on the Committee as the ex officio chairperson with a vote. Mr. LaLonde’s amendment will make the Executive Vice-President a non-voting member and make the six members elected directly from the Assembly. At the request of another Assembly member, no applicants will be accepted for positions on the Personnel and Appointments Committee until Mr. LaLonde’s amendment is acted upon.

The only clearly anti-inflationary proposal in the entire package was the 5 percent tax surcharge on corporations and upper income and that, of course, is the item least likely to get by a jittery Congress in a pre-election month. The extended unemployment and work-relief programs (a revival of the New Deal Civil Conservation Corps) can be defended on both humanitarian and common sense grounds. For the including an rest, however, the only general theme was easier money infusion of $3 billion of federal money into the housing market. Nothing could be more likely to fuel the inflationary fires, which will receive additional stimulation from the deregulation of natural gas prices and very likely from special ad hoc supports for farm prices as — well. The President continued to popularize the idea that the previous wage and price control effort did not work, although every serious analyst of the Phase II experience has concluded the opposite and Nixon's own Council of Economic Advisors specifically stated that "We believe it is probable that the controls did reduce the rate of inflation" in their Economic Report for January 1973. As an alternative to repeating this experience (and under the current recessionary circumstances, which would favor another success) Ford offered stronger antitrust enforcement and a long-term study of regulatory problems. The typical major antitrust case takes more than five years to drag through the courts, and our oldest regulatory body is approaching its centennial the Interstate Commerce Commission of unreformed operations (and promises to outlive its regulatory constituents, the railroads). One can scarcely be optimistic. — - In addition, Mr. Ford offered exhortations. To the farmer, be more productive. To the thrift institutions, keep a stiff upper lip. To the automakers, produce a more efficient car (or come up with a design for one within four yearsl) And to the rest of us Write in your ideas to the White House; sign up with Sylvia Porter; wear your WIN button! Well, who can take this seriously? Although the impact of the tax except that few will receive proposals is almost impossible to predict attention in the near future the rest of the "package" is, if anything, pro-inflationary. The Postal Service will undoubtedly have to lay on additional workers to cope with the avalanche, a few more people will move to Washington to swell the bureaucracy, and easier money will remove the one restraining factor now at work in the economy. Although the easing of specific hardships is certainly commendable and a sharp contrast to the Nixon "let-em-eat-smog" appraoch the "package" as a whole contains mostly empty rhetoric and long-term promises. After Watergate, the resignation, and the pardon, it seemed that nothing more could be done to fulfill Mr. Nixon's dream of "bringing us together" (but, as it turned out, on the opposite side). The new Ford plan provides, however, the missing element.

Peters Comment New pessimism and the future by Richard Korman Think about depression. Think about how an economic depression would effect your life. Think for a minute of the material things you’d be less likely to own: the house, the car, the clothes, the paintings, the books, the basketball tickets, the things which make life as good as it is now. If you are poor, not much will change. You’ll just be poorer. But if your not poor, if your father and mother have been working steadily most of their lives, if food and rent money was always set aside before the first of the month, and if you’re the type of person who can take time to go to school for four years, then you stand to lose a lot. You stand to lose your way of life. Consider the consequences of your father being fired. Think about having to live off that money you weren’t going to touch until you were married. Think about staying home this year and looking for a job. No college, no professional school, no hopes for success. Not a dream left intact. And consider the mental sacrifice, the uncertainty, the anxiety, the hollow dispair of knowing your world has caved Depression will change your life. Economic depression will mark your generation with the indelible ink of misery and personal suffering. Even those with an adequate financial cushion will not be able to escape entirely. They’ll have to watch. It will be on T.V. This is not to predict depression or to undermine whatever confidence there is in the national economy. Confidence, however falsely gained or misguided, may at some point be necessary. Depression, and all it entails, should not be encouraged. These are not the rantings of some Labor Party visionary who regularly predicts a Rockefeller-backed world coup, but simply the reflections of a media watcher, a newspaper reader who picks out a trend by following the repetition of a theme. The theme these days: Depression. Why? Most discussions start with the energy crisis and ir>flation and end somewhere around high interest rates and bank solvency. World economics, as evidenced by the doleful confusion of the recent national Maxi-summit, are open to any number of interpretations. That recent fiasco was highlighted by the well-planned, nearly-simultaneous statements from Mr. Kissinger and Mr. Ford which more or less said the oil prices, more than tripled in the last year, and the Arabs are to blame. Those statements, so frankly vigilant in tone, had Secretary of Defense Schlesinger out the next day explaining that the U.S. will not soon go to war with the Arab nations to get control of the oil and save the economy. So he said. Which does little to explain all this talk of depression, except to point out that many people are nervous. It does even less to clarify the real causes and results of the current mess, other than to reiterate facts already well known. So taken together, all views resound with the one un-enlightening note; World capitalism is in trouble. Enough trouble that many reputable writers have devoted column space and their good names to sound warning and serve notice on the public. They write about food prices in New York, bank closings in Europe, and of economic analysts who predict a panic and crash in six months. Six months to two years. That’s not very far away. That’s almost tomorrow. Dan Dorfman, columnist for New York magazine, reported how one widely respected economic pollster had already taken all his money out of the bank and stuffed it in his mattress. And he ought to know something. Besides stock market indicators and cost of living statistics, the long range view for the underdeveloped nations of the world is starvation. A New YOrk Times series on the world food situation reports that it might reach cataclysmic proportions. There is no way, say many informed opinions, to stave off famine in 1975. For those who do manage to eat, there will be fuel shortages and skyrocketing prices. There will be unemployment and cutbacks in ffederal spending to ease the inflationary cycle. On levels of world wide and personal economy, it seems, life is going to become worse and worse and never get better. Its quality will deteriorate with a smooth graphic curve. How much to believe this new pessimism? Well, Watergate and impeachment came true. The question is: Did they come true because of all those hints, or were they part of the inevitable course of things to begin with? The latter, I tend to think. Which is a cold and sobering thought in light of recent trends. If one is already reconciled to a certain future, he may continue logically from that point onward. How best, then, to get out of the dreadful depression? Think about war, if you can. And think about how global world war will affect your life. �If this ends even more abruptly or strangely than usual, it may in fact have to do with the fact that I am sick. Actually and physically ill, that is, as opposed to whatever else you might have been preparing to lay on. I drank a lot of cider early ixr the weekend and whether it was that or the arrival of some marvelous new strain of intestinal microbe or other I do not know. All I know is that in one 24-hour burst, the amount of toilet tissue that that was inadvertent, I swear I have singlehandedly accounted for has been phenomenal. It is also difficult to figure out just how much of the material that wanders through your head while sitting on a toilet at four o’clock in the morning is of sufficient good taste to be of any interest to anybody at all. My head is reasonably able to produce strange points of view most of the time, but at 4 a.m., when strange things are going on inside your body, and you are very spacy anyway, why who knows what limits are available. I remember one clear flash of semi-lucidity which had to do with — — The grump toilet-training. Having repressed large amounts of that period of my life with maximum efficiency, I by Stecse have no idea who did what, or how, or when. All I know is that someone achieved a really solid, unbudgable control system. There I sit, completely dragged out and too tired to see at all. All I want to do is get rid of the Snot-noses offending material so that my stomach will stop sounding like feeding time at the big cat zoo, the cramps will go away, and I can go back to sleep. But this is not a behavior which is available in my limited repertoire. After spending all those years getting control of that... thing, the idea of voluntary relaxation drove my head crazy. All sorts of wierd anxieties about not being able to keep control when it had once been relaxed stole through the dim gloom. It was wonderful. If you are going to be sick, you might as well learn something, no matter how strange. It is quite clear to me that one of the primary things that happens to me when I get sick is that I get very very anxious. Things are going wrong somewhere outside of my control, in the usual immediate sense that leaves me feeling somewhat more secure about the world. There are certain practical precautions one can take that have to do with the illusion of taking care of yourself and maintaining control. Such as walk around with tissues and toilet paper stuck into your brief case. But this is clearly illusionary. What you really want is for both ends to stop running and they won’t. Which seems to be a fairly clear case of something being out of control. 1 mean, what do you do if it doesn’t stop? People die of dehydration in such cases. Of course that could be balanced by increasing your intake of fluids. One half gallon of Ramos Fizzes, please. (Oh, if possible, anybody out there know a good recipe for a Ramos Fizz, a tall complicated but wonderful alcoholic concoction found mostly in the south and in California, please drop me a note at The Spectrum. Actually 1 have a recipe, but it calls for something called Orange Flower Water, which nobody in the world seems to have heard of. So some help with that would also be welcome.) Only problem with drinking is that being sick makes my hangovers even worse, as though that were possible. It is fascinating to keep getting flashes about what bad taste this column is in. It has been clear to me for a long time that bathrooms and certain of the functions which are attended to within such confines are approached with certain reluctance by many people. Once lived in a place with the bathroom off the kitchen. And people would be out there in the rest of the apartment getting mildly sloshed before dinner while I was finishing up cooking whatever. One of the relatively useless but unavoidable bits of information that my head stored was whether or not somebody locked the bathroom door after they shut it. Leaving aside the question of whether it is stranger to lock a bathroom door, or to notice whether someone else does, there does seem to be some reality to the need for privacy in that area. In many homes, my belief is that the only door in the house that has a lock is the bathroom, except external access doors. The curious part of me would like to know just what people expect other people to do to them in such circumstances, but that is probably on some primary level that most of us can’t touch. Enough.

Weicker, Jr. (R-Conn.) thinks members of Congress should make their financial holdings a matter of public record. this writing, the measure had just reached the Senate Government Operations Committee, and given the best of intentions it would be nearly impossible to hold hearings and report the bill in this session. So Weicker, according to an aide, will probably try to attach his proposal to another bill in the form of an amendment, a tactic that is occasionally used successfully to slip federal funds ever so quietly to special interest groups, but only rarely works when the issue, like this one, is of genuine and broad public concern. Sen. Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.) is a master at the technique. Indeed, the titles of most of his bills end with the phrase “and for other purposes.” President Kennedy once said that Magnuson was the only man in the Senate who could stand up, interrupt the proceedings to send up some “little old bill” for immediate consideration, get it passed on the spot, and then five years later tell his constituents it was that bill that authorized funds for the Grand Coulee Dam. Weicker has already done so, and last week he introduced legislation that would require the President, Vice President, and members of Congress to follow suit. In fact, the bill (S.4059) would require every federal employee in the executive and legislative branches who earns more than $30,000 a year to file an annual report listing all assets and liabilities in excess of $ 1500. Not a bad idea. Sen. Weicker, but good luck. You’ll need it. This year’s campaign reform legislation, which Senate and House conferees finally agreed on a few days ago, once contained similar contained them, that is, until the provisions conferees went behind closed doors to hammer out a proposal that would be agreeable to both sides. But Weicker is not Magnuson, and public Needless to say, the disclosure provisions were disclosure of finances is not the Grand Coulee Dam. hammered out all right: hammered right out of the Moreover, even if Weicker is successful in getting the bill, in fact. matter the Senate it will have to go you through You see, it is difficult for a member of Congress it back to a conference committee.

Located on Webster St., the theater was built in 1926 for vaudeville, and, according to manager Jim Hart, it is today still in virtually its original condition. The theater offers a variety of entertainment, including first and second-run movies, rock concerts, and monthly organ recitals sponsored by a theater organ society. In direct contrast with its uninspiring surroundings. The Riviera affords an atmosphere of luxurious elegance. On the front of the building, above the marquee, is a detailed design which includes what is presumably the North Tonawanda town shield. A series of stained glass windows appears above the glass doors of the entrance, which Mr. Hart says were originally built in a different part of the theater and later transferred. chandeliers in the lower lounge, right above the candy counter. Directly in front of the stage is the organ, which operates by means of a giant air blower kept in the theater’s basement, and an extensive system of heavy wooden air pipes. The organ has been utilized to play during the intermission of sound movies, as well as to supply the music for silent films and to play for the organ concerts, for which the theater is always sold out, Mr. Hart notes. He believes the organ could be sold for between $15,000 and $30,000, and because Wurlitzer organs are no longer manufactured, he guessed it would take up to $100,000 to produce a new one.

Wednesday, 9 October 1974 >»«— Staines, �Two racers win titles as third dies at Grand Prix Carlos “Lole” Reutemann showed everyone how to go last Sunday at the Grand Prix of the United States at Watkins Glen as he breezed his white Number 7 Brabham to his third Formula 1 win of the season. He was followed home by teammate Carlos Pace after the Hesketh-Ford of James Hunt encountered fuel-feed problems. Hunt, who harried Reutemann throughout the first half of the 59-lap, 200-mile event, finished just seconds ahead of Emerson Fittipaldi’s McLaren. Fittipaldi’s 4th place showing was enough to guarantee the 27-year-old Brazilian ace his second World Drivers’ Championship. Jody Scheckter’s retirement due to an overheating engine, and the unexpected poor showing of Clay Regazzoni’s Ferrari left Emerson in control of the points race. The 3 points he received broke his tie with “Regga.” —Duggan Deliberate preparation The weather was ideal for racing. The sun shone brightly on the 25 cars as they were lined up on the starting grid. An air of expectancy was apparent as the drivers donned their helmets. Never before was the world title to be decided at the very last race. The deliberateness of the teams as they did all the little things that need to be done before a race showed that everyone realized the significance of this one. After 14 races on 4 different continents, the champion was yet to be found. back in the pits with the new tire flapping. “Lole” broke the lap records several times as he led the race from start to finish, but Hunt couldn’t keep up with him after his rear brakes gave out. Then near the end. Pace caught him and went by as Hunt kept going slower and slower. “It was all I could do to keep the thing running at the end” said the disgruntled Hunt, after he coasted over the finish line with Fittipaldi breathing down his neck. Fittipaldi’s title is another milestone in a short but already great career. He proved that his jump from Lotus to Team McLaren at the end of last year was not a bad move after all, despite the fact that a McLaren has never been driven to the championship until this season. Reutemann’s great season makes him a real contender . As the green flag fell, the whole pack was off in a tremendous cloud of dust and tire smoke. Reutemann beat Hunt into the first turn and was never headed, although the Hesketh stayed glued to his tail. Regazzoni’s Ferrari came in for a tire change, but it wasn’t long before he was in next year’s points race. The resurgence of the Ferrari as a strong competitor should make next season every bit as exciting as this one has been. Fatal accident The race was marred by tragedy when young Helmut Koinigg lost his life after he lost control of his Surtees and crashed into the Armco barrier at Turn 7. The corner was the scene of a number of other mishaps over the past two weeks as several other cars were damaged on the tricky curve. Catch fences, rather than Armco (several rows of chain link fence supported by half-sawed through wooden poles to progressively absorb the impact) would have prevented the fatality. Experience of this sort is a hard teacher. -Steve Sef ' Statistic box Baseball: October 5 vs. St. Bonaventure Buffalo 000 000 0-0 3 5 St. Bona 110 010 x- 3 6 1 Buzska, Lasky (5) and Dixon; Zelinski and Laplaca Buffalo 000 040 3- 7 5 6 020 021 St. Bona 1-6 6 2 Borsuk, Nejucyk (4) and Dixon; Baum, Martello (5) and Golf: At ECAC qualifier at Cornell, Oct. 5 326, 1st of 20 teams Team score Buffalo individuals: Hirsch 77 (individual Busczynski 86.

That honor went to co-captain Jerry Galkiewicz. The win evened Buffalo’s record at-2-2. The lopsided score allowed Esposito to experiment with his lineup. “It gave me a chance to play a lot of guys,” he said. “I put people at positions they wouldn’t normally play.” Greg Borah was inserted at left fullback, for example, while Pete Cosola was tested at left wing. “He’s [Cosola] got a lot of speed, and it paid off with a pair of goals,” Esposito remarked. No practice, no play Esposito did not play two of his African stars, Jude Ndenge and Emmanuel Kulu, because they had not shown up for practice last week. “If Kulu and Ndenge would get out there and practice, there would be no question in my mind that we’d have a hell of a team,” the coach noted. “I have no doubts about their ability.” Kulu and Ndenge had accounted for the Bulls most consistent Funding Lopsided score half of the team’s goals the Gannon contest. prior to The game was characterized by the Bulls’ swarming around the Golden Knights’ beleaguered goalie, contrast which was in sharp to the Bulls’ previous game, when they had “ten men on defense,” in Esposito’s wry words. This time, the Bulls’ offense controlled the ball almost all the way, giving the defense very little work. In fact, Buffalo goalie Frank Daddario had only one tough save in the first half, and that came when a shot deflected off one of his teammates. Record breaker Buffalo was led by right wing JoJo Dolson, whose four assists set a school record. Dolson, a sophomore transfer from Winston-Salem State, added a goal as well, but felt he could have had more. He and his teammates were denied by the goalposts almost as often as by the Gannon goalie. “Our offense really won it,” said Esposito. “The Brockport had game (a 4-2 defeat] something to do with it. They were determined to win.” The Bulls’ nine goals represents a team record. They take their “souped-up” offense to Olean today to face St. Bonaventure, a team to which they have never lost. weekend he took low score (77) among 80 golfers at the ECAC regional qualifying tournament, as the Mike Hirsch is the first repeater of The Spectrum's Athlete of the Week honor.

Last bubb ofactivities remains a problem for SA 9 ‘ by Bruce Engel to make Clark available for certain cultural events such as speakers or concerts, though he agrees that the bubble itself should not be used for such things. “It’s going to be an insecurable mess,” he said. “But Sporls Editor The temporary Amherst recreation facility commonly known as “TheBubble,” came one step closer to reality last week. However, nagging questions remain concerning the use of the facility the University has had a space crunch for years and this facility has to alleviate the problem in some way.” His plan would call for five or six dates throughout the winter when gym activities would be moved to the bubble to allow for an SA sponsored e vent in Clark Hall. Last spring the SA executive committee activated budget lines that include a $10,000 figure to fund Amherst recreation. Later cuts in the athletic budget should not have affected this line, according to SA officials. “His [Monkarsh] budget hasn’t been touched and it shouldn’t have been. He was budgeted for a whole year and he only has half,” stated Schapiro. and the funding of recreation in it. Recreation director Bill Monkarsh and Facilities Planning Coordinator Dwane Moore announced the awarding of the construction contract last week. As expected, Birdair, a Buffalo based firm, turned in the successful low bid. According to Monkarsh, construction will start as soon as they receive the necessary materials. Conduction is estimated to take 60 days. The previous target date of December 9 is still on the books, though it now appears unlikely. Monkarsh hopes “The Bubble” will be ready for the start of classes in the spring semester. Where’s the money? However, Monkarsh and Athletic Director Harry Classes added Fritz report that there is only a budget of $6000 Along with the contract awarding came the tentatively scheduled for use in funding the Amherst announcement that physical education classes will be recreation. Fritz related that he is still working on held in “The Bubble.” Previously this had not been the final details of athletic department budgets stated, though it came as no great surprise to before submitting them to SA tr easurer Sal Napoli Student Association (SA) officials who lobbied so Napoli, who must approve all line changes, still has vehemently for the structure as a recreational the $10,000 figure. facility. “It’s fine with us if they have classes in there Moihrsh claims that the $6000 figure is till about 1 o’clock. There wouldn’t be much adequate to do all he wants in one semester of morning recreation anyway,” said Howard Schapiro, “bubble” operation. SA’s Student Affairs coordinator. The discrepancy can be explained by the fact Monkarsh related that the bubble would only that, as Fritz states, “The University has agreed to hold classes in the morning hours. After that he pay for a graduate assistant to manage the bubble.” wants to see it used exclusively for intramurals and This, as well as equipment the University will buy to r ecreation. According to the recreation director equipt the structure, represents money that SA no having classes in it was necessary to get the state to longer has to pay, so the Athletic Department has approve the expenditure. “It was sold on the basis removed it from that line. According to Fritz, the that it would relieve Clark Hall,” Monkarsh said. money will stay within the total recreation and Schapiro hoped that the bubble could be used intramural package.

Last spring, the Faculty-Senate passed a resolution recommending to the President a series of steps that would provide a mechanism for the evaluation of teaching effectiveness. The resolution called for the University administration to set up a permanent Office of Instructional Development (OID) to coordinate the University-Wide Monday, 7 October 1974 State University of New York at Buffalo Vol. 25, No. 21 teaching evaluation book had very limited distribution last year. Many and observers felt it was poorly organized and ineffective, by the was not well received that it indicated Reichert Dr. faculty either. “It got University bad marks,” he said. Dr. Reichert said that he would like to see stronger support for the Senate resolution from the Administration. the He felt President Ketter might not fully realize program. evaluation a teacher strong of potential Referring to Dr. Ketter’s remarks about making use of teaching evaluations in promotion and tenure decisions, programs, provide technical assistance to each academic unit for such evaluations, and help improve the quality of teaching by individual instructors. Specifically, the Senate action mandated that OID coorinate a mandatory teaching evaluation program in each of the seven Faculty units work with each faculty unit and provost to help establish faculty-student committees on teaching evaluation. The chairman, vice chairman and one graduate and undergraduate student of these committees were to serve as official members of the Office of Instructional Development. Past limitations A Student Course and Teaching Evaluation (SCATE) Hochfield, chairman of the Faculty-Senate, a also supports the concept of teacher evaluation, but in the different context. He believes the responsibility for process lies with the students, disagreeing with Dr. Reichert’s plan for a centralized Office of Teaching Effectiveness supported by the University. Teacher be evaluation “is a student undertaking, but should mandatory for the faculty,” Dr. Hochfield said. Realizing George program’s potential advantages, he emphasized that should not use it as a teaching aid.” If a faculty member were totally against being evaluated, there was nothing that could be done except next possibly putting his name on the front page of the explanation, accompanying with an publication SC ATE Dr. Hochfield said. Dr. Hochfield noted that the evaluation “constitutes a public review of teaching confidence, [which is] one thing that should be required.” the Mark Humm, Academic Affairs coordinator of end the student is of Student Association (SA), in charge the SA s of the evaluation procedure. He explained that the “faculty a The previous SCATE book was produced by SA with great deal of financial and procedural help from the Administration, Mr. Humm explained. “They funded almost everything,” he said, including the printing, distribution, collecting and analysis of the information. Reduced costs in his wording of the resolution. and promotion decisions. Student responsibility said. In addition, the resolution provides for decentralization of the teaching evaluation program. It recommends that until teacher evaluations are mandated by the Administration, the individual faculty units should determine the extent of the dissemination of information gathered. Each unit is encouraged to develop evaluation techniques which have sufficient faculty confidence so that the data collected may be used by the student body. Professor Jonathan Reichert was a chief architect of the Senate resolution. He feels students should play an important role in the evaluating process, and stressed the The proposed evaluation plan suffered a blow at the September 24 meeting of the Faculty-Senate, however, President Robert L. Ketter announced that it would be impossible for the University to supply the $60,000 to $80,000 needed to fund a permanent Office of Instructional Development. Good teaching will remain a high priority anyway, Dr. Ketter said, adding that teaching effectiveness would be necessary for purposes of tenure he make an effective impact on teacher evaluation,” maintained, adding, “we are trying to build political steam behind the Senate resolution.” responsibility in the matter is greater than some people he might think. “Either we do it or it doesn’t get done,” Decentralization need for student input opinion not fight harder for teaching effectiveness. “Public of the students to implement the recommendation would Dr. Reichert emphasized that there are “lots of reasons for maintaining an effective program, like considerations for professors and educational feedback for both students and professors. of The program, he added, could be an integral part faculty “It’s one lazy of members. efforts to -keep abreast way we can put pressure on tenured faculty members. Dr. Reichert said, noting the importance of student pressure Dr. on the Administration to get the program going. did that Association Student Reichert was disappointed Mr. Humm explained that using student manpower instead of Administrative personnel would greatly reduce the cost of the operation. He said that the last SCATE book cost SA about $300, and without Administrative support, the cost would skyrocket to $3000. “This is why we are going to the Administration to ask for additional funding,” he said. He also stressed the importance of implementing an effective evaluation system, noting that “students could be considered to be consumers of education,’ and as consumers, “should have consumer protection.” Mr. Humm related teaching effectiveness and evaluation to the broader concept of quality education. “It is the responsibility of the Administration to fund this program,” he asserted. Energy crisis? Gasoline prices fall sharply at many of the local stations by Seth Baskin Spectrum Staff Writer Mobil Oil Corp. reduced the wholesale price of their gasoline by two cents a gallon last Thursday, a move seen by many as a signal for stepped-up retail competition and even lower gasoline prices. Retail gasoline prices in the Buffalo vicinity have decreased steadily over the past three weeks, the first substantial change since last December’s energy crisis, when prices soared from 38 to 60 cents a gallon. One of the primary reasons for the current price the ample supply of gasoline locally. There are two refineries in the Buffalo area, Mobil’s and Ashland’s, and since it is more economical for these refineries to sell gas in the immediate area than to transport it to distant markets, Buffalo is not hit as hard as most areas during shortages like last year’s. drop is Price variations —UPI A random survey of 30 gas retailers in the area showed that the independents are selling gas at a price lower than that of the major retailers. Service stations buying from the major oil companies either have their prices set by the companies, or sell the gas for eight cents above wholesale. Retailers vary their prices by a cent or two because of their operating costs and rent expenses, while independent dealers determine their retail prices solely by their overhead, rent and the competitive prices around them. Difficulties they once had in securing gasoline from the refineries were alleviated by Congressional legislation forbidding refineries and wholesalers from withholding gas from independent dealers. The independents also have the opportunity to buy leftover gas from the major companies, which would rather sell to them than to their major competitors. Optimism Bob Mason, owner of an independent service station that sells gas for 51.9 cents a gallon, said he expects gasoline prices to continue to stay low and go down even further. Louis Pfohl, manager of traffic and safety at the American Automobile Association (AAA), is also optimistic about the current situation. He sees “people cutting down on their driving and forming car pools” as one of the reasons for the adequate gas supplies. “If no additional tax is added onto gas by the President, and there is no unusually harsh winter that causes crude oil to be deferred to heating oil instead of gas, then the present situation should remain stable and promising,” he predicted. �Academic clubs seeking more involvement in SA by Sparky Alzamora Campus Editor “Academics have finally achieved priority ranking in the Student Association (SA),” said SA Academic Affairs coordinator Mark Humm, referring to the recent involvement of academic clubs in the student governing body. Active participation pf the clubs will enable SA to better deal with the Faculty-Senate and the Administration on matters of Academic Policy, Mr. Humm explained. Representatives of eleven academic clubs met again last Thursday evening to develop “some kind of organizational interaction” betwen the clubs. Twelve clubs were represented, as opposed to four at the meeting two weeks ago. Aside from providing SA with a “grassroot organization” to create a political base, active involvement in SA will allow the clubs to form their own political base in the Student Assembly, Mr. Humm maintained. Academic clubs have traditionally had no i voice, he added, and are given the lowest priority ranking in the SA budgetary outlines. Mr. Humm’s immediate concerns encompass academic issues such as Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE) and advisement among others. Members of the academic clubs, he said, will establish subcommittees that will then study these problems and the best ways of mobilizing student opinion. “These arguments and opinions,” Mr. Humm stressed, “must consider the diverse academic needs of all students and have the support of a strong academic oriented student assembly. In connection with SCATE, Mr. Humm would like to place the responsibility for organizing SCATE, which has usually been the domain of three administrations, into the hands ofSA and the academic clubs. Another subcommittee will investigate the Division of Undergraduate Education’s (DUE) policy on advisement. Mr. Humm does not like the current random selection of advisors for students. “A student might —Center Mark Humm, SA Academic Affairs Coordinator, explaining to academic club representatives Thursday night that their involvement in student government will give students a stronger voice in University-wide decision making. sponsored jointly by go here four years without learning anything each other.

New research Recorded prison suicides are increasing drastically by Dene Dube Feature Editor The recorded rate of suicide in New York State prisons has been increasing drastically within the past decade. In 1973, the rate of inmate suicides in 1 some prisons was six times that of the general population. Records only show an increase and cannot explain why there are rises; spokesmen who do offer explanations maintain that only the number of recorded suicides have risen and not the actual rate. Professor Hans Toch of the School of Criminal Justice at Albany, believes that the attempts at coverups of prison suicides has decreased, but that actual suicides have always been as prevalent as they now are. He has done extensive work on suicide attempts and self-mutilations among prison inmates (see The Spectrum, Sept. 30). There has been increasing pressure from public interest groups to be more open about suicide attempts, said David Speer, director of Research and the Offender Crisis Project at the Suicide Prevention Center in Buffalo. Attempts and gestures toward suicide in prison have been increasing, especially in the Erie County Holding Center, he said, while there were two successful suicides at the Niagara County jail this summer. Less than adequate emotional help Mental health services within the Erie County Penitentiary and the Erie County Holding Center are less than adequate, and the services at the penitentiary are presently defunct, said Mr. Speer. In the Holding Center, “it is no big secret” that suicide attempts have gone up, but then so have the number of pre-trial inmates in custody, claimed Frank Festa, Center Superintendent. There has been only one successful suicide at the institution within the last five years, he said. Suicide attempts at the Center are checked by 24-hour supervision on all the cell galleries. While any objects that inmates 'might use to injure themselves are kept out, inmates still find harmful objects. Porcelain chips broken off from sinks can be used to scratch oneself and possibly bleed to death, said Mr. Festa. Hung on crossbar The one successful suicide that occurred at the Holding House three years ago occurred when an inmate hung himself by his sheet from a crossbar. This particular man had a history of emotional disturbance prior to his incarceration, and had been seen by the mental health worker at the prison. He had been “a failure in school, a failure in the service and a failure at his job,” said .Mr. Festa. He was unsuccessful in his relationships with other people, and he was unsuccessful even in his crime (the alleged molesting of a child). He had had a history of suicide attempts as well. The effects of this incident on the other inmates, as observed by Mr. Festa, caused them to be subdued and nervous for sometime afterward. It had no apparent effect on other self-injury attempts, though. Some attempts normal Inmates who are seen by mental health workers are usually those who have had a history of emotional disturbance, or who exhibit disturbed behavior during the time of their imprisonment, according to Mr. Festa. Much of the self-injury occurring within the prison is considered “normal” to that environment, and would not necessitate the assistance of a mental health worker. Cutting the face and throat areas are considered psychotic behaviors, but cutting the arms and abdomen will usually only require a visit to the nurse, or in more serious incidents, to Meyer Memorial Hospital. A frequent motivation, as Mr. Festa sees it, is the need for attention. Some inmates abuse themselves with regularity and establish a pattern. Others may learn this tactic as a means of getting attention and follow the behaviors of the others, he said. The serious attempts at suicide will take place when the inmate is alone, he added. After dinnerblues A “prime danger time” for self-injuries and suicide attempts is evening after mealtime. Depression sets in from the lack of activity. Inmates may become self-reflecting, and they may not be able to keep themselves from brooding, according to Mr. Festa. However, the period after 8:30 p.m. when most of the outsiders have left and only the inmates and prison guards remain, is considered the most dangerous time, and galleries are checked by constant patrols. Dr. Toch and Mr. Festa both believe that the motivation for these suicide attempts comes from within the individual. They do not consider the physical setting and the prison atmosphere to be a prime responsibility for self-abuse. Page two . The Spectrum Monday, 7 October 1974 .

Neil Goen, Budget Director, emphasizes the point often, almost as often as he emphasizes that “decisions are not made by budget officers.” The budget itself is an intimidating document. The one prepared for next year is a thick, 268-page set of charts, graphs, numbers, titles and explanations, much in computer-size type. It explains how about $134,000,000 will be used in the 1975-76 school year. Its apparent complexity renders it mysterious or frightening to many people and misconceptions abound. Mr. Goen defines a university budget as “an expression of the educational process in fiscal terms.” He emphasized “expression.” The seemingly endless series of numbers represents the “people and things” that make education work. The first point to get straight, then, is that the budget is drawn up only after the essential academic policy decisions have been made. Decentralized decision The second point is that this University’s budgetary procedure differs from that of the other SUNY campuses. For the past several years, the process has been decentralized and “upward integrated;” that is, the decisions come from the lowest administrative levels and are reconciled at the top, rather than having the ideas handed down from the President’s office. For this reason, this University does not provide a presidential contingency fund to handle emergencies and distribute funds. On other SUNY campuses, the budget is controlled largely from the president’s office. This part of the budgetary process is known as the “administrative flow.” In a decentralized system like the one here, department chairmen decide the needs of their departments and set priorities. These priorities reflect the “educational mission” the department sets for itself. From there, the proposals go to the appropriate provost or vice president. Since, as Mr. Goen said, departmental budget proposals are “more or less parochial,” the provost or vice president brings these requests into line with the needs of his or her particular division. The president then repeats the process, reconciling the needs of the various divisions with those of the whole University. Who gets what By then someone is bound to be disappointed. This can’t be avoided. When decisions reach the vice presidential and presidential levels, “a large element of reality must come in,” said Mr. Goen. The budget requests must be examined in the light of two problems: 1) whether the available resources are being used effectively, and 2) what tradeoffs to make. The tradeoffs are necessary because real needs always far exceed available resources. As a result, everyone gets less than they want and many get less than they need. In the jargon of budget officers, the SUNY system operates on the PPBS system, which Mr. Goen terms “an acronym that’s simply another word for common sense.” PPBS stands for Planning, Program, Budget and System. “Planning” involves the priority-setting process already described. After the decisions pass the presidential level, however, the process begins again. The proposed budget goes to the central administration in Albany, where the needs of any particular SUNY unit are balanced against those of the whole system. Then the process is repeated yet again when the SUNY budget goes before the State Legislature. “Program” is putting together the resources to carry out the ideas decided upon in the Planning stage. Up to this point, there are no fiscal implications. That comes in the next step. “Budget” is figuring out the costs of the program and allocating the necessary resources. At this point, the total money available is distributed according to the decisions made in the previous steps. Finally comes the “system” step in the process. Much of the effort here is concentrated on bookkeeping and technical chores, making sure funds are not overcommitted and only accurate information gets processed. But the hardest and most important part of the process is finding ways to measure the success or failure of the policies decided upon in achieving the educational goals set forth in the planning stage. Two budgets At any given time, the budget office works with two the one for the current year, and either separate budgets the leftover work on the previous year’s budget or preparation of the next year’s budget. In the midst of all this, any changes in the budget must be recorded and evaluated. Often, mid-year changes in budget lines involve commitments for the following year. If that occurs, the budget office must inform the appropriate vice president, who then makes the decision whether or not to tie up a portion of next year’s budget. The decision must come from the vice president; the budget office cannot make policy decisions. The problems of fiscal technology and the technical aspects of formulating a budget are, of course, hard for the amateur to understand. Like {all specialized branches of knowledge, it requires years of training. But the basic assumptions that underlie the budgetary process are simple enough for anyone to grasp. — Without Day Care Child care options outlined Prices at the various Day Care are consistent throughout the city, from $20 to $40 a week.

Feeling as he does, Judge Breitel has taken a strong position on the judicial disciplinary system. “Just two weeks ago I convened the court on the judiciary to consider the removal or retirement of a judge in the first judicial district,” he said. Movement in the direction of disciplinary action has progressed in light of criticism that “judges never will do anything about cleaning their own house.” Unless there is a good initial selection of judges, “what good is a good sanitation department to clean up the system?” Judge Breitel asked. Mentioning some problems of the “democratic process” by which judges are elected, Judge Breitel admitted, “I was elected chief judge last year for reasons I’m not at all sure why. I know that when I started on the campaign, virtually no one outside the bar had ever heard of me, or they cared less.” he said. “People in the court system are elected at contested elections, running on different Good publicity political platforms, and having Judge Breitel credited the media different political allegiances .with introducing him to the public. before they become judges,” he He received “awfully nice went on. editorials” and “the Bar Association couldn’t have been nicer.” Although reluctant to spend a great deal of money, “the candidate eventually got seduced” at an estimated cost of one-half million dollars, most of which went into 30-second television advertisements.

Organized in the U.S. by members of the Vencermos Brigade, this was thefirst note: five student journalists from delegation of student journalists to visit Cuba since the 1959 Revolution. This is the final article in a five-part series. by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor After the triumph of the Cuban Revolution on January 1, 1959, Cuba broke all binds of foreign domination and set forth a foreign policy based on “mutual respect between nations, non-intervention in the affairs of other countries, the right of all peoples to self-determination, and proletarian internationalism.” Relations between the United States and Cuba became strained, however, and broke into hostility in 1961. Before the revolution, the U.S. bought 66 percent of all Cuban exports, of which a large percentage was sugar, and supplied 75 percent of Cuba’s imports. The large plantations and corporations were nationalized by 1960, and the U.S. cancelled all sugar and other imports from Cuba, and stopped sending fuel oil and machine parts. Havana and other parts of the country were bombed on April 15, 1961. At the burial ceremony for the victims, Fidel Castro accused “U.S. imperialism,” and proclaimed that Cuba would now develop as a socialist state. On April 17, the U.S. government, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and Cuban counter-revolutionaries launched an attack on Cuba at Playa Giron, with an estimated force of 1400 men, fighter bombers, tanks, and heavy artillery. Some Cubans we spoke with felt the U.S. was hoping the Cuban counter-revolutionaries could gain control of a small area, proclaim themselves the real government of Cuba, and invite U.S. Marines, Army, Navy and Air Force to come to their defense. Then, with the economic problems caused by the U.S.-imposed blockade, the Cuban people would rush to the side of the “real government,” and overthrow the communists. Known as the Bay-of-Pigs invasion, practically the opposite happened. The local Committees for the Defense of the Revolution rushed to the beach-head to repulse the invaders, and with the militia and army, defeated the assault in less than 72 hours. We spoke to two Cubans who fought here. One, who lost an eye during the battle, is now a supervisor at Havana’s fishing port, while the other is on the editorial board of Juventud Rebelde newspaper. In 1963, through the Organization of American States (OAS), the U.S. attempted to get other Latin American countries to end all trade with Cuba, in order to increase her economic hardships. Socialist trade Yet in 1964, Cuba experienced the largest trade exchange in her history. With only 4% of her trade in the Western Hemisphere, she was able to establish the bulk in Europe. Over 55% of her total trade was now with other socialist countries. The Soviet Union accounted for 40% of it alone, including the purchase of most of Cuba’s sugar export. In 1972, Cuba was formally linked to Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, and the Soviet Union in the Council for Mutual Economic Cuban poster, entitled "Like in Viet Nam," expresses the aid given by Cuba to the Vietnamese offensive.

Michele Smith, SA National Affairs coordinator and Lou Scinta have organized the group in an attempt to unite this large contingent of students (over 50% of all undergraduates) which shares similar complaints about university life. The group of 45 students who attended the meeting feel that they are being cheated out of many benefits which the University offers dorm students. “We pay all these fees and don’t get any of the benefits... it’s maddening!” claimed Barb Benner, a lifelong Buffalo resident. “I feel left out, have no sense of belongingness.” Six sub-groups of the larger committee have been chosen to deal with commuter problems. A Transportation and Parking Committee will explore ways of dealing with the lack of parking facilities. A broad range of activities is being planned by “Lack of Activities” committee, under the direction of Cathy Venezia. An open breakfast for October 25th has been scheduled, and coffee houses, open bowling, table tennis and beer blasts are also being planned. “Basically we want to get commuters to meet o%er commuters and to collaborate commuters with Monday, 7 October 1974 The Spectrum . . Page five �rial 1Edi ooking Outside by Clem Colucci On good teaching Every year, we hear administrators, faculty and students say that evaluating and improving teaching effectiveness is of the utmost importance, and every year, nothing concrete is done about it. Last Spring, for example, the Faculty-Senate passed a resolution calling on the administration to establish a permanent Office of Instructional Development (OID) to coordinate all of the University-wide teaching evaluation programs. The OID was to have given technical assistance to each academic unit for evaluating teaching performance and improving the abilities of individual instructors, and provide for the creation of several faculty-student committees to work together on teaching evaluation. Despite the enthusiasm generated by the proposal. Dr. Ketter recently announced that the University simply could not provide the funds this year for an Office of Instructional Development. Good teaching remains a high priority. Dr. Ketter was quick to add, and faculty who seek tenure and promotion will still have to document their teaching effectiveness. Unfortunately, OID was designed to be the mechanism for documenting good teaching. If the Office is not put into operation, faculty with stacks of published books and articles will continue to receive long-term appointments while skilled instructors leave the University in large numbers. We have no doubt that publishing is a vital and worthwhile pursuit for a professional educator, and that research in one's chosen field strengthens one's teaching abilities. But it must be recognized that actual teaching requires as large a commitment of time as publishing, and that teaching abilities have never been given enough weight in tenure considerations. Because the actual quality of good teahcing is individualistic and therefore difficult to measure on impersonal data forms, we feel instructors up for tenure should be regularly observed in the classroom and appraised by their colleagues. An effective Office of Instructional Development would facilitate this. It is reasonable to assume that students will be better off with an instructor who is dynamic, insightful, or simply a catalyst for good discussion than with a widely published Vale scholar who is boring and ine'fective in the classroom. But the creation of an Office of Teaching Effectiveness has been delayed for so long that it looks as though there won't be one for some time to come. Consequently, it is even more imperative for Student Association to get moving on its Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE). If no real effort is made by faculty and administrators to upgrade teaching effectiveness, students must be given some way of discerning which teachers they should stay away from. The SCATE book that in now in the library is a big, thick volume of indecipherable charts and statistics, one whose very make-up keeps students away from it. SA should follow the example of the State University at Binghamton in producing a readible and effective SCATE He’s back. Who’s back?

For this reason, it is essential that academic clubs continue to increase their representation on the Student Assembly and In To the Editor. Recent articles in The Spectrum have raised the hackles of numerous Law faculty and students. The issue of allocation of scarce resources inevitably leaves some party feeling that the wrong priorities have been addressed. However. I feel what has really escaped public attention is a more fundamental issue. The issue that is really being debated is the acceptance of and commitment to a different mode of legal education. The Langdell model of legal education was a breakthrough in its time. That model is still valid today and in fact remains the dominant model of legal education. The push for clinical experience in legal education is not new. In fact, prior to Langdell clerking for an attorney (i.e., a “clinical” experience) was the dominant method for admission to the bar. In some cases this method of admission to the bar is still available in New York. However, admission to the bar and a serious academic grounding in legal thinking are two very different pursuits. The more recent demands for clinical experience are really an attempt to weld the need for excellence in legal thinking with excellence in the application of that was long and fraught with pitfalls. The crucial issue debated was not the commitment to a certain number of clinics, but the commitment to the concept that clinical experiences must be a part of legal training. 1 suspect that the reason it took us two years was not because of the intransigence of the faculty but because of their real desire to assure the continued quality of the standard academic program, and to assure in a generic sense the quality of clinical programs. Now it seems the issue is before us again albeit couched in different terms. The idea that the law school is somehow overcommitted to clinics assumes in some sense that clinics are a luxury to be funded only after full funding of the standard academic program. This approach fails to make that very fundamental commitment to the proposition that excellent academic training and careful clinical process training are indispensible responsible legal education. to a complete and Whether the law school has actually made this commitment it seems to me is the real and critical issue. An attack on resource allocation which belittles the role of clinical experiences in legal education is not only self-defeating, but also shows a thinking. rather miserable understanding of the real issues A group of students I was associated with in confronting us as law students. 1971 spent almost two years negotiating, studying and proposing clinical programs to the faculty.

Bill Martin Director, Student Legal Aid Clinic Day care not a right To the Editor. At the present moment, there seems to be a lot of concern regarding the financial situation of the Day Care Center. It seems to me that Day Care was initiated solely by the surplus budget of Sub-Board and very little support from any other office because of its trivial nature. The fact of the matter is that giving approximately $30,000 to about 50 parents is not only unrealistic, but is downright selfish. Being married and going to school is one thing, but having children and dumping them off at the expense of the students of this University is inconsiderate. I fail to see the logic in “day care is a right.” Any organization that demands such a large quantity of money for so few people has to be in a priviledged situation and they should be thankful for the help they have received up until now. The budget of Sub-Board is such that the parents of children in day care will just have to put their children in private institutions as do other people in similar situations.

I am dismayed by having to protest against such a thinly-disguised piece of racism as Ms. Dube’s “Sexual harrassment in Ellicott three arrested” (The Spectrum October 2). She has presented a without even the pornographic short story, gesturally-responsiblc adjective “alleged.” It’s neither necessary nor subtle to point out the accused as blacks by quoting their references to “white bitch(es).” Don’t talk to strangers, call Campus Security, do what you will/must, but don’t titillate racism by such an unlovely scenario.

Bennett Rubinroit The truth about North Dakota To the Editor. to the Great North Dakota In regard Conspiracy, my brother, who is a professional SUNYAB, graduate work at political scientist (BA SUNY at Albany, currently employed as taxi driver), has been researching this specific phenomenon ever since his cross-country tour. He has documented whole volumes of details and governmental misrepresentations, and having perused this material, 1 am prepared to offer this brief synopsis. Apparently, to end the cultural revolution (Circa 1969), all Red Guards (about 15.8 million) were forced to excavate a gigantic pit, ostensibly to find out what is at the root of the matter. However, so zealous were these youthful exuberants, that having reached the center of the earth, they continued to dig their way out in the same direction until they approached the state of North Dakota from below. Needless to say, various directives were delivered to all overseas operatives announcing the great achievement, but a certain Chinese agent who works at the Kwong Chow restaurant in Toronto became so elated that he inadvertently placed his directive into a fortune cookie. This directive was passed from diner to diner for comic relief until an off-duty mountie named Dudley Durite confiscated the message and ignited a ripple of secret service concern which led to the infiltration of 4.7 million Canadian nationalists into the state of North Dakota under the guise of tourism. All material goods of the state were sold over a period of 19 months in a franchised fast-furniture - chain owned by Donald Nixon, which stretched from Salt Lake City to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The people were incarcerated as spectators in World Hockey League areanas owned by G. David & Son. Curiously, when the Chinese finally broke through, the entire state of North Dakota plunged into the abyss along with several million Red Guards. The triumphant achievement was hollow indeed, as all the people and their goods were already abducted by the fanatic Canadian nationalists, and every Red Guard died in the cataclysm. Since the breakthrough, the government has been trying frantically to cover-up. The Army Corps of Engineers has covered the entire area with reinforced steel and concrete. Walt Disney Studios has been contracted to provide paper-mache topographical features, and of course, no one can be found in the area except a few surplus test dummies and hallucinating hitchhikers. There are only two known survivors. Fargo North (decoder) is currently employed by the Childrens Workshop Theater, and la belle Lorraine S. has been forcibly enrolled in a variety of philosophy courses by the CIA in order to further disorientate her mind at this very campus. Nonetheless, beneath the cover-up attempt remains the nothingness, and the government is not acting in good faith with the people. Unless the people act quickly and convincingly the government continue to ride roughshod over this incident. We urge all to write your local congressman and protest this atrocity.

Does he feel that he can accurately represent the entire student body? “I have discussed my representation with every student president and they feel confident that I will fulfill my role,” he believes. Mr. Schamel expects to relate effectively the attitudes of the student body and the community to one another, hoping the Council will consult him on all issues. The students, in turn, will be informed of Council policies and decisions though Mr. Schamel stressed that he would maintain Council confidentiality when called for. When the Council convenes this month, Mr. Schamel will attend it with an open-minded spirit. He doesn’t plan to present any specific policies immediately, as he is unsure of the nature of the meetings and holds no pre-conceived notions. “Open-mindedness,” he added, “should be an indication to both student groups and individuals of my availability to any and all % Council of Student Presidents of the State University at Buffalo.

The pardon came exactly thirty days after Ford took office, and on the eve of the first scheduled date of the cover-up trial’s beginning as if it had been pre-ordered that way. Ford took few into his confidence, and asked for no real advice moral and political advice, as opposed to the legal research that had to be done before making a statement (and even that was less a question of research into whether the pardon should be granted than of finding out how it could be done). All this suggests that there was no decision to be made things were all taken care of — - — beforehand. This secrecy is unlike Ford as the team player, even in his pre-presidential days.

His noble rhetoric of defiance Contrast the way Ford pardon for Nixon’s aides — - for public opinion and doing only what is right, adopted for the Nixon pardon, was totally abandoned when the other pardons were shown to be unpopular. The price of the Nixon pardon, to Ford himself, to his party, to the country, was enormous. Already, just to take one case, it has jeopardized the election of Nelson Rockefeller’s personal choice for Governor of New York. Why would he be willing to pay this price? Only two answers are offered by the events. The first is that Mr. Frod’s conscience demanded this sacrifice for the national good. But that is to praise his conscience at the expense of his intellect. The sacrifice did not promote the national good. Insofar as a pardon could serve that purpose, it would have done it far better later on. Besides, when has Mr. Ford’s conscience acted in a vacuum, without shrewd soundings of party and national opinion? The last time we heard Mr. Ford waxing extravagantly moral, it was over Justice Douglas’ willingness to let his prose lie down near naked ladies on the and now we know that was part of an act put page on at John Mitchell’s request. So, if it was not a lonely, self-punishing act of conscience, than what was the pardon? Part of a deal. Not a formal arrangement spelled out in contract form and signed with blood, but a commitment made nonetheless. And made without the public’s knowledge, behind a series of acts intended to prevent the public from knowing. A deal denied, but not believably. A deal that may, or may not, have sunk Mr. Ford. Nixon is the national tarbaby; all who touch his pitch are stuck to it forever. Now Ford is stuck. — — �Another first Robinson breaks color bar “The only reason I’m the first black, manager is that I was born black. That’s the color I am. lam not a superman. I’m not a miracle worker I want to be judged by the play on the field. Frank Robinson, newly appointed manager of the Cleveland Indians. ... ” — by Bruce Engel Spectrum Sports Editor The Cleveland Indians management made history at a morning press conference last Thursday when they officially announced what the country had expected for a month. Frank Robinson became baseball’s first black manager, as well as its highest paid, though it should be -UPI Oriole teammates look on while Frank Robinson conducts Baltimore's famous Kangaroo Court of the last sixties. Robjnson is well respected by fellow players for his leadership ability in serious as well as comical situations. noted that his $ 180,000 contract requires him to serve as the team’s designated hitter as well. Robinson, who has managed successfully in winter baseball in Puerto Rico, has been expressing a strong desire to manage for several years. His probable Hall-of-Fame career has included time with pennant-winning teams in both Cincinnatti and Baltimore, as well as the Most Valuable Player awards in both major leagues, the only man ever to do that. Currently he stands fourth on the all-time home run list with a total of 574. The national press heralded the news as a great step for baseball and a move toward racial equality as well. President Gerald Ford sent Robinson a telegram calling the selection “welcome news for baseball fans across the nation.” Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn said at the press conference, “We got something done that we should have done before.” On the local scene, Larry Williams, President of the Black Student Union also commented “I think that was wonderful.” False Illusion However, David Gerber of the History Department does not see the development as terribly significant. “This has symbolic value, but it creates a false illusion of progress. What does it mean for the average guy?” he asked. Dr. Gerber, who teaches a course in Black-White relations, feels that the appointment is tokenism. “Something like this can sap the energies that can be used to strive toward creating a society with equality for everyone. Not everyone is a Frank Robinson and he shouldn’t have to be,” Gerber said, intimating that only the most outstanding blacks have been given the chance to succeed. Leo Richardson, Buffalo’s head basketball coach and one of the few black head coaches in the country, proclaimed as many others have that the appointment was long overdue. And BSU’s Don Hawkins said “It’s about damn time.” Richardson feels that the appointment may open the doors for other black managers, and he could not agree with the label of tokenism. “Someone had to start, and Cleveland did. He’ll survive on his merit like any other manager," the coach said. Richardson, who well remembers when Frank’s namesake Jackie, broke baseball’s color line in 1949, saw no relationship between the two events. “Jackie had to put up with a lot of racial slurs in those early days. We’re past that,” he asserted. “Society is a little more grown up now.” Pressure on the brother The mood in the BSD office was generally happy “Any time baseball or football hires black administrators, I think it’s good,” said the organization’s vice-president George “Flash” Thomas. “If blacks can excel on the field, they can excel as mamagers,” he added. Thomas was quick to recognize the social impact of the appointment. —UPI Jackie Robinson, front right, with Sandy Koufax and Roy Campanella when the Dodgers retired their uniform numbers two years ago. Twenty-five years after Jackie became baseball's first black player, namesake Frank became the game's first black manager. “There’s going to be a lot of pressure on the brother,” he said. “1 hope he succeeds.” Thomas, Hawkins, and BSU member Doc Brown discussed the issue with fervor. Brown felt that other blacks, like Maury Wills and Larry Doby, are really more qualified to be managers than Robinson. Hawkins countered with the fact that Robbie has managed in Puerto Rico and has been the team leader wherever he has played throughout his career. On the issue of whether or not people will attend the Indians’ contests, Hawkins felt that Cleveland’s black majority may come out in large numbers. “1 think a lot of white people may come out, hoping to see him fall on his face,” Brown replied. Like Dr. Gerber and Coach Richardson, the trio disagreed on whether or not there was tokenism involved in the appointment. “He’ll be out on his ear if he doesn’t do well,” said Brown. “That’s why it’s tokenism.” But Thomas and Hawkins feel he’ll be there more than one year. Sink or swim, win or lose, the eyes of the nation will be on Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium next year. There have been 180 managerial changes in the major leagues since Jackie Robinson first took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers 25 years ago. Frank Robinson’s appointment is the first one that might qualify as a social experiment. Freedom next? Larry Williams, BSU’s outspoken President, had the final word: “If Black people can be managers, how about letting us be free?” Nice try Yankees! The New York Yankees made a run for it all this year, but got nosed out at the finish. Ten years of frustration among loyalists continues. But take heart, Yankee fans. Think of how good they’ll be next year when they know each other’s names. Field hockey looking ahead by Joy Clark Staff Writer Spectrum Sports Information director Dick Baldwin leads some of Buffalo's coaches in calisthenics. That's Carolyn Thomas in the back, playing the role of problem athlete. Coaches practice as they preach: fitness by David J. Rubin Staff Writer Spectrum Do physical education teachers really practice what they preach? A survey of people involved with athletics and physical education here shows that they do. All of the surveyed administrators spend at least coaches said that and they a couple of hours each week maintaining a reasonable level of physical fitness. While some spend only one or hours each week exercising, running, or participating in any of a number of sports, many Buffalo coaches and administrators take time each day to keep trim. Jack Baker, 37, chairman of the Physical Education Majors program, runs about six miles each day, and swimming coach Bill Sanford, in his 50’s, swims half a mile and plays tennis daily. two Two birds or no teeth Of course, many coaches are too busy during the day to tend to their own needs, “i find myself in the position of a dentist who doesn’t have time to take care of his own teeth,” explained wrestling coach Ed. Michael. However, Sal Esposito, Buffalo soccer coach, has found a way to kill the proverbial two birds with one stone, explaining, “I chase after soccer players.” While golf, tennis, and jogging are the most common pasttimes among Buffalo athletic personnel, there is a wide range of activities in which they are involved. Women’s golf coach Jane Poland skis; women’s basketball coach Carolyn Thomas is an avid backpacker; and Viola Diebold (a phys. ed. instructor) works out at a nearby health spa. The survey also shows that coaches and administrators have vastly changed their activities since their college days. Most notably, there has been a shift away from team sports like —continued on page 10— “They played very well for a group that has never played together before," said Carolyn Thomas, coach of the women’s field hockey team, after their 4-0 defeat at the hands of Genesee Community last week. The game was the first Dr. Thomas has coached at Buffalo. Last year, after arranging for 12 games, she was forced to cancel the season because not enough players turned out. they even have a special reporter covering women’s sports.” Both players hope for increased support from Buffalo spectators. “We have a very spirited team,” said Dolan, “and field hockey is as exciting as football or soccer.” Since only four of the women have had any college experience in field hockey, Thomas expects this to be a training year. “Hockey is not a complicated sport, so we are working on the basics, trying to give the players some varsity experience.” Atypical coach The women seem to think very highly of their The reason for the increased interest seems coach. “Everybody likes her,” Dolan said. “She increased publicity, “especially at doesn’t fit obvious the domineering stereotype of a women’s freshman orientation,” according to Thomas. “There coach.

Monday, 7 October 1974 . The Spectum Page nine . �Filing for bankruptcy Healthy coaches clears students debts 9 Graduates who borrowed money to finance their education have been using a new method of clearing themselves bankruptcy, a practice virtually unheard of as recently as three years ago, according to Jim Messgraber, Director of State-wide Consumer Ser- vices student loan defaults in the country. California students have the highest percentage of bankruptcies while New York students account for only .03 percent of the total. Once a student is declared legally bankrupt, his lending bank is 20 percent by fully reimbursed the state and 80 percent by the federal government. Last year, the federal government paid more than $1 million in such reimbursements. As of July 1974, the Guaranteed Student Loan program has paid $10,235,000 to bail out 8380 students. Fearing that this trend might spread, Congress is considering a law that would exempt students from bankruptcy proceedings for settling their loans until five years after the first payment is due. Hearings are currently being held in Washington, and the bill may be brought to a vote this spring. - To qualify for bankruptcy, a student must declare himself independent of his parents and prove to the court that he has no income or credit. Students who do not own a house, land, or a car, and who have no savings or bank accounts meet these qualifications. Letters from gas stations, department stores, or national companies, indicating that a student is not eligible for a credit card, may also be submitted as proof. Six percent bankrupt Reports say that bankruptcies now account for six percent of all Cuban ties abroad. By far, the greatest assistance is received from the USSR. We saw equipment in a machine shop, Havana’s fishing port, the lenin Hospital, and on farms that had been made in the Soviet Union. Cuba also has very close relations with the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam, both having embassies in Havana. Cuban workers have produced extra material to send to Vietnam. “With Vietnam,” said one woman, “we are one, because we have gone through the same struggles.” We saw several large billboards paying tribute to the Vietnamese in their fight for independence. Cuba feels close to the people of other underdeveloped countries, and organized the historic Tri-continental Conference in 1 966 to bring them together. Revolutionary forces from 82 countries from Asia, Africa and Latin America attended the conference to strengthen ties of friendship in their fight against colonialism, and economic control by foreign businesses. Latin American people Of particular importance to the Cuban people is the history and life of other Latin American peoples, much of which is similar to their own past. John Gerassi writes in the GreatFear in Latin America, in the mid 1960’s, that “Guatemala City’s 400,000 inhabitants live in swampside slums, and true, many peasants live in mud huts without sanitation. . . .” They have little food or education, but high unemployment and disease. United Fruit company owns much of the fertile land in Guatemala and exports bananas for high profits while the Guatemalan people go hungry. Gerassi reports that in 1962, the protests of the people were crushed, and people he spoke with said, “that the whole government apparatus was taken over by the CIA.” baseball, football, and field toward more personal sports like golf and tennis. All five women surveyed said they were involved in whatever team sports were available in their college days. Except for the speedskating done by women’s tennis coach' Betty Dimmick, in fact, the women were strictly team athletes then. Yet only one of those five is still playing any team sport on a regular basis. Attitudes toward the comparative fitness of coaches and businessmen were also surveyed None of those polled said that coaches should be in School hockey, better condition than the average businessman. In fact, assistant basketball coach Harry Hutt said just the opposite is true, noting, “It’s more important for an executive who’s pushing . himself. Education, Health Fritz, pointed out, “Students react better to a good-shape coach. An unfit coach can ‘ring a little hollow’ on some points.” Important for everyone On the other hand, Viola Die bold made no distinction between coaches and the rest of society, saying, “It’s important for everyone to be fit. Everyone requires conditioning.” However, most answers included words like “image” and “example,” the thought that conveying athletes will have more respect for a coach who can do the 50 sit-ups he demands than one who just demands that the sit-ups be done without being able to do them Among the more skilled Buffalo coaches and administrators are tennis coach Pat McClain, who doubles as the pro at the Buffalo Tennis Club, and baseball coach Bill Monkarsh, who plays tennis in local tournaments. Men’s Physical Education Chairman Ed Muto and golf coach Bill Dando are both near-scratch golfers. Other active people include Sanford and Baker as well as assistant basketball coach Bob Case, who plays paddleball, handball, basketball and intramural sports; Betty Dimmick, who plays tennis three or four times a week; and Coordinator of Women’s athletics Cindy Anderson, who is involved with a local field hockey league.

She also maintains friendly relations with countries that have struck out on an independent path, such as Peru, and recently Panama.

This is the major center in the hemisphere, uniting all the parties from the Popular Unity government and the Movement of the Revolutionary Left. The committee aids Chilean refugees and the resistance, publishes information, and plans activities to oppose the present dictatorship. Mr. Otero said one indication of the high level of organization in the underground was revealed one morning when the military government woke up to 1,500 freshly painted anti-government wall murals all across Chile. In recent months, there has been growing interest among some of our government leaders, to consider improving Vice-President The remains of a tail-section of a U.S. warplane that was shot down over Cuba during the Bay-of-Pigs invasion, is now on display outside the Museum of the Revolution in Havana. Alongside the tail-section is one of the small boats that was used to carry Cuban counter-revolutionaries ashore during the invasion. from right-wing Latin countries, such as Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, Venezuela, and Brazil. We spoke to a group of Chileans working at Alamar, who escaped from Chile after the bloody coup of September 1973 that overthrew the elected government of Slavadore Allende. “Many thousands were murdered immediately,” said one worker, “and many thousands more were arrested and tortured.” They said the repression was continuing even today, and that they were lucky to have escaped themselves.

But the sailing is not going to be smooth, especially when Mr. Javits criticizes Cuba for insisting that the economic blockade be lifted before negotiations begin. In light of the past aggression against Cuba, it is hardly an unreasonable demand, and should be granted immediately. To facilitate the improving of relations between the United States and Cuba, and to build friendship between the American and Cuban people, several interested against Cuba, 2) end all attacks upon Cuba from the U.S. or its bases including violations of Cuban airspace and waters, and 3) withdraw all U.S. military troops from the Guantanamo Naval Base on Cuban territory. - Only by respecting the independence and sovereignty of Cuba can we reduce hostilities in the hemisphere, and develop mutually beneficial relations with the Cuban people.

The charges are vague and unsupported, and are the result of misperceptions which represent the views of only a small constituency, the faculty said Wednesday. Many of the shortcomings cited by the students, they claim, are not the result of an overcommittment to clinical programs but have been caused by cutbacks in resources once thought to be available. The faculty feel the financial crises affecting the rest of the University play a role in the Law School as well. In an open letter sent to the Law faculty early this week, the students declared they are being denied opportunities in widely-practiced professional areas so that a few can be provided with “expensive training within narrowly specialized seminars and clinics.” Both resources and faculty lines are being diverted to the clinical programs, and it is likely that even greater committments will be necessary to continue the programs as the grants expire, the students warned. Day Care is urge too tain fundsfrom an academic unit by Don Etsenmann Contributing Editor Students and Day Care staff members held another rally Wednesday afternoon in Haas Lounge to gather support for their fight to obtain state funding for the Day Care Center. After meetings with President Robert Ketter late Tuesday i and early Wednesday, Day Care representatives reported that they were again told that money for Day Care must come through direct academic channels. Dr. Ketter reportedly suggested they contact one or several of the 128 academic departments and explore the possibility of getting funds through them. However, Helen Stynetski, treasurer of the center, said “in terms of funding the day care center and meeting our request for $29,000, nothing concrete was accomplished.” Dr. Ketter said after the two meetings that he had reviewed the conditions under which the center could survive and that the only way it can secure more funds is to become “tied to an academic unit.” The Day Care Center is asking only that the administration provide $29,000, and is not currently exploring other possibilities. Dr. Ketter explained. He felt the tactics being used were making Day Care an emotional issue, and were only hurting the Day Care supporters. “If things get out of hand, closing the center is something I may have to consider,” Dr. Ketter added. After the more than 200 rally participants expressed support for Day Care, they marched to Hayes Hall, chanting “The people united cannot be defeated,” and “They say cut back, we say fight back.” The group stormed through and around Hayes Hall for about 30 minutes under the watchful eye of four uniformed Campus Security officers. They stopped several times outside Dr. Ketter’s office, promising they would be back in a militant fashion if the administration does not come through with their request for funds. The demonstrators then marched back to Norton Hall, pledging “we’ll be back to fight back.” Earlier, in the Haas Lounge, Angela Kile of Women’s Studies College described the initial battle to establish the Day Care Center in 1970, when all they had was “determined parents who knew that their only choice, if they wanted to get an education, was day care.” Ms. Kile said they had demonstrated for an entire year, during which time “letters went unanswered and we were passed from vice president to vice president. Despite feeling “scared and exhausted,” the only thing that kept the group going was the “kids who we knew needed care,” she said. Ms. Kile added that she could not understand how the state can afford money for such things as wall-to-wall carpeting and expensive landscaping at the North campus while there is no money available for day care. “Women cannot work, cannot come to the university if they don’t have money for day care,” Ms. Kile declared. “If we stand together with strong support, we can win and win big.” Nancy Osborn, assistant to the director of the Day Care Center, stressed the need for student Unsupported assertions “These are unsupported assertions, full of generalities, which make it difficult to know what they have in mind,” maintained Law professor Milton Kaplan. “There is no guarantee that these resources [if not utilized] would go to things they want,” he said. Law professor Robert Gordon felt there was no evidence that resources are being diverted. There are “just not enough faculty,” he observed, and the school has been forced to do best with what it has. There are presently close to 750 enrolled students at the Law School and 43 teaching faculty. By next year, enrollment will have increased from 600 to 900 over a three year span. At the same time, the number of Law faculty has grown at the rate of five new lines a year. Several spokesmen fear that this expansion may soon end and that new faculty will be hired only to replace retirees. The students also criticized Dean Richard Schwartz for seeking well-qualified, reputable instructors rather than faculty whose area of specialization fills a gap in the Law School course offerings. “People are being sought for excellence in their area of specialization and are then being coerced into teaching in the professional program,” one student contended. “No matter how many decoarations you hang on a Christmans tree, it’s still going to fall over if the base is rotten,” he added. Rightful “That’s really ridiculous,” Dr. Gordon declared, saying that these criticisms show a misunderstanding of how law faculty are recruited. “Poeple don’t define their specialties by major course needs,” he explained. Law faculty were being rightfully sought on a basis of individual excellence, Dr. Gordon said. He pointed out that it is customary for new faculty to negotiate which courses they will teach after they are hired This semester, one or more sections were closed in courses on Federal Tax, Family Law, Labor Law, Commercial Transactions and Criminal Procedure. However, several faculty indicated that sooner or later all students would have the opportunity to take these courses. “If we had 60 faculty instead of 43, there wouldn’t be any problem at all,” commented Law professor Louis Del Cotto. Dr. Del Cotto said that committments to clinical programs were made two years ago, when resources were more plentiful. “In fairness to the Dean,” he added, “you just can’t forsee” the subsequent cutbacks and deficits. You hire people to teach in the clinical programs, and then you’re stuck,” Dr. Del Cotto said. “In any system where 800 students are free to pick and chose,” added Dr. Kaplan, some courses will be under or over subscribed.” Irony support to force the administration to solve the problem. Ms. Osborn also said the administration is trying to frighten day care supporters by claiming that there are outside agitators involved and insinuating that there might be possible expulsions and dismissals. Dia Horreman, a Center staff member, felt they have no choice “but to use militant tactics to force the administration to give us what is our right $29,000 and on-going funding.” In connection with the question of funding, Kathline Cassiol, Day Care Center director, explained that her original title was “research associate,” which is in keeping with the directive that the Center can be funded only if it directly relates to aiding in the education of students. However, because job titles must match job descriptions when requesting funds from the state, the money was requested for her as “director” of the day care center. A hold was put on this job line by Albany but was approved Wednesday. — M uch of the current students' criticism has been directed toward the clinical Simulated Law Firm (SLF). They say the demand for this kind of program has been largely over-estimated, and that its enrollment has dropped substantially. Some faculty feel the students’ complaints are ironic since this program was instituted in response to their criticism that law schools were not providing sufficient training for students who wanted to prepare for actual practice. The SLF, originally part of the Integrated Professional Practice Program, is simply an extension of existing trial teaching techniques, according to certain faculty, and is therefore a professionally-oriented program. The Law School’s Long Range Planning Committee is currently formulating a master plan which will outline the School’s growth and development over the next ten years. Some faculty have been surprised and annoyed that the same students who signed the open letter have not contributed any recommendations at Planning Committee sessions. Law Professor Mark Galanter said the student criticisms were born out of a “hide-bound conservatism that very little should change from what has always been. In this and other things, students are much more conservative than faculty,” Dr. Galanter emphasized. �i Comprehensive transit plan is projec tedfor local region 0 In addition, Amtrak railroad passenger trains and high-speed train service proposed by the New York State Department of Transportation aie expected to terminate nearby. by Fred Kasimov Spectrum Staff Writer The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority’s plans for a regional Transit Network represents the largest construction project in this Rapid transit The third project of the development program area since the building of the Erie Barge Canal more be a 46-mile rapid transit network, the hub of will the most important than 100 years ago.

Room 16, 111 West Huron Street in Buffalo. You may call between the hours of 8:00 was bill, A spokesman for Rep. Koch explained that the which a.m.-4:30 p.m. at 842-3270. introduces in May, 1974, is designed to eliminate any governmental intimidation of the press which is not already covered by law. He cited reports that American Telephone and Telegraph officials had in the past surrendered information about the phone calls of newsmen to government officials, and that the FBI had used information from phone companies to learn the identities of sources of columnist Jack Anderson. I Newsmen’s privacy protected by new bill Selective Service registration Passage unlikely The aide said this bill, prompted by the Watergate era revelations, would help to end “a substantial threat to the free press.” He feels the legislation, endorsed by the New York Times has been delayed in committee because the impeachment and Nixon pardon have obscured the lesser issues,” the nuts-and-bolts of democracy.” He conceded that the bill is very unlikely to pass Congress this session, but will hopefully become law next year. A staff member of the House Commerce Committee told The Spectrum that no hearings have been held for the bill and agreed that action this session is improbable. He attributed the delay to “priorities” in considering legislation and the possible absence of need for such a law. He feels that if other companies follow the example of AT&T in embodying the no-disclosure spirit of the bill in their company policy, passage next session may be “unnecessary.” The Commerce Committee aide also noted that the House Judiciary Committee has dealt with related issues in its consideration of a “Newsman’s Shield Law.” Lack of action A spokesman for Rep. Kemp emphasized that there has been “a noticeable lack of action in the area of priacy.” Mr. Kemp’s aide expected “that there would be greater interest and support for the bill because of Watergate” than the legislation has received so far. Rep. Kemp disagrees with the belief that company policies to correct the situation are sufficient. “Those policies, because they are not required to be enforced by law, are subject to change and inconsistent application.

Dr. Wallen added that each year the Law School entrance requirements become more and more stringent, since the number of applicants is constantly increasing while the number of openings remains the same. Many pre-law students here have remained in Buffalo to continue their professional education at the State University at Buffalo Law School. Almost 40 percent of the pre-law students who consulted with pre-law advisor Jerome Fink last year, in fact are currently attending the Law School, according to statistics compiled from questionnaires returned to Dr. Fink by graduates of the pre-law program, and confirmed by Charlie Wallen, Law School Registrar. Dr. Fink sends questionnaires to his former students each year to determine the students’ attitudes towards the law schools they attend. Pre-law undergraduates can browse through these replies to aid them during their law school selection process. Boasting a 50 percent response rate. Dr. Fink has discovered that of the 68 men and 31 women who applied last year, 19 men and 15 women are enrolled in the State University at Buffalo Law School. Top notch faculty The next most poupular choices among pre-law undergraduates here were the Georgetown University and the University of Miami Law Schools. Very few attend any of the Ivy League schools. One reason why the Law School here has become so popular is because of its superb planning and its top notch faculty, as well as its reasonable cost. Dr. Fink said. The University of Michigan Law School is currently the most “prestigious” state school, according to Dr. Fink, but he believes that within three to five years, the Law School here which Extenuating circumstances 75 to 80 percent of the applicants are evaluated solely on their LSAT scores and CPA’s. The other 20 percent, grouped in an “extenuating circumstances” category, is comprised of students having one strong measure and one weak measure. These applicants are judged on the basis of letters of recommendation, interviews, activities, writing ability, or on a case stated in a letter. “While medians are a crude estimate and most often misleading,” Dr. Wallen said, he estimates that among the law students registered here, the median LSAT is 630, and the average GPA 3.26. Dr. Wallen maintains that no special priority is given either to State University at Buffalo undergraduates or to women applicants. Even in a situation where two applicants vying for one opening have equal qualifications in all respects, neither prior affiliation with the University nor sex will have any bearing on the decision. “We would accept them both,” he said. Women currently comprise 25 percent of the student body. Although they are shown no priority, Dr, Fink has found that as a rule women are better students, better achievers, and “more consistent in their abilities.” He later admitted the possibility, that only “better-achieving” women may consider applying to law school in the first place, however. Uncertain future Fac-Sen to discuss Day Care The Faculty Senate will be examining many in the weeks ahead. Discussions concerning the four-course load and the funding of the Day Care Center are being carefully explored by the Fac-Sen Executive Committee. The Day Care controversy was debated at a meeting of the full Senate Sept. 24, and was referred to an Executive Committee subcommittee on Oct. 2. Under present State University guidelines, the only way for the University to receive additional funds for Day Care is to provide academic justification for its programs. “The chief problem for that special committee is to determined the educational value of day care” explained George Hochfield, Fac-Sen chairman. Factors such as the number of students and departments using the center will be taken into consideration, he said. Credit vs. contact A subcommittee was also established r at the Sparky Alzamora Campus Editor Representatives from the Mayor’s Housing Task Force, along with several Student Association (SA) members, will hold a symposium next Monday at 12 noor. to establish a student Housing Task Force to combat off-campus housing violations. The drive is spearheaded by City Councilman Bill Price, who has worked to eliminate the “exploitation by corporate absentee owners who milk a house for maximum profit and neglect basic maintenance While students are confronted with inferior housing in deteriorating neighborhoods, Mr. Price said, the residents of these neighborhoods see the process of deterioration as one more signal to leave the city. He called the absentee landlords “sharks,” who, he claims, are ripping off students and destroying residential neighborhoods at the same time. ’ funding and four-courses load issues crucial to the University Task force to combat local inferior housing Sept. 18 meeting to explore the issue of credits vs contact hours. This matter was discussed at length by last year’s Executive Committee but was not resolved. A major question in the minds of many Senate members is whether the four-course system has become a budgetary problem, as some members of the Administration have claimed. Most observers feel budgetary and there are two issues involved academic and that the Senate should be concerned with only the academic aspects. The subcommittee is presently “digging through old Senate files” to determine what previous discussions there were on the issue, said Ernest Thompson, a representative of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration who is on the three-man subcommittee. He added that a report should be forthcoming within a few weeks, and that the University “should see something coming out of the Executive Committee shortly after that.” — - Systematic approach Mr. Price hopes to deal with the problem systematically. An adequate task force could probe the situation by dealing directly with students about their problems with landlords. In the case of a housing inspection to investigate possible violations of the zoning ordinance, the task force would require the assistance of student tenants. “With your (student] cooperation, we can reverse the downward trend, get at these landlords, get some basic maintenance, and break down the high-rent system,” Mr. Price promised. Students must therefore become involved in this vested interest issue, he said. While they are understandably more concerned with immediate needs, the needs of future off-campus dwellers should also be considered. Monday’s symposium will allow students to speak with Mr. Price, the Housing judge and other task force representatives about problems encountered with off-campus living. The task force’s first responsibility will be to deal with negligent landlords whose primary targets are students. Once these landlords are identified, the systematic program will follow.

At the time, she was observed leaving the car unbruised, and unscratched, several whites. She was physically uninjured in any way. The defendants were given the chance to plead guilty to the lesser charge of assault with intent to commit rape, plead a crime carrying a penalty of 15 years, rather than to They not guilty to rape, a crime punishable by death. woman. None the had not raped refused, saying that they of the three had previous criminal records. Although the population of Tarboro. the city where they were tried, is over 50 percent black, the jury of their peers” consisted of 11 non-black persons and only one black man. The jury was allowed to spend a night at home before rendering a verdict. Although it is true that the law does not require a jury to be sequestered, the Southern Poverty Law Center termed this action “at best, an unwise procedure” in this particular case. “Emotions ran high in Tarboro, and the possibility of outside pressure having been put on members of the jury is a strong one, said Bond’s report. In an additional irony, the North Carolina State Legislature recently revoked the death penalty for rape by Helen A. Funicello Spectrum Staff Writer Three black men are awaiting death in the gas chamber in Raleigh, North Carolina. They were convicted on Dec. 9, 1974, of raping a white women. They were tried less than a week earlier, on Dec. 3. That is only one of a series of odd circumstances surrounding the case of Jesse Walton, Vernon Brown and Bobby Hines. Brown, 22, Hines, 23, both of Tarboro, N.C., and Walton, 24, of Washington, D.C., were in a car on Aug. 5, 1973, when they offered a ride to a white woman. “Witnesses attest that the woman voluntarily entered the car and all sides in the case agree that the men had sexual relations with her,” wrote an Alabama newspaper. According to information provided by Julian Bond’s Southern Poverty Law Center, which has taken on the men’s appeal, the conviction of the three men occurred under circumstances that were highly questionable, and that the men were denied due process. For example: At the woman’s request, the men drove her to within a block of her home, where she got out of ‘Halfway’ to house mentally ill by Jenny Cheng Spectrum Staff Writer month, an organization known as Transitional Services tried to open a half-way institution for mentally disturbed patients at 1935 Hertel Ave. The project was halted, however, after community and city council objections to the location. Buffalo City Councilmen William Price and Anthony Masiello later initiated an investigation into the matter, revealing gross profiteering by the building’s landlord. Transitional Services, which had rented an inhabited apartment, was unaware at the time that the landlord had evicted the former tenants in order to reap the windfall $240 per month per apartment paid by the publicly-funded group. Councilman Price also informed The Spectrum that Transitional Services had moved into the 1935 Hertel building without receiving City Council approval, which has been required by city ordinance since November 1973. The establishment of the half-way house was, in addition, therefore technically illegal. Councilman Price also said the community had not been previously informed about the activities of the half-way house, thus generating unnecessary suspicion and fear among the neighbors. Last Educate ‘after’ The Transitional Services staff, who were unfamiliar with the new City Council ordinance, halted the project once they learned of it. Asked why they did not previously notify the neighborhood about their program, Dick Orndoff, Transitional Services Director, explained, “In the past, we have found the most successful way to insure the success of a half-way house is to educate the community after the house has been established. That way, we have something tangible to work from “The community is very receptive to our cause once they are informed,” Mr. Orndoff added. “Transitional Services is a non-profit relocation organization founded by the state and the county. We help mentally disturbed individuals learn how to adjust into community life by teaching ‘survival skills’ such as cooking and managing money. We help people with problems to learn to live independently.” Transitional Services’ program has received considerable favorable publicity, he noted, and similar programs in New York City and Syracuse are now being modeled after it. Communication lacking “The only problem we had with the 1935 Hertel establishment stemmed from a lack of communication,” contended Jim Ronan, an area resident who, disturbed by rumors that the house would accommodate drug addicts, approached Transitional Services for accurate information. “Mr. Orndoff explained their program to me,” he reported. “I am in favor of the project, but 1 only wish they had checked with the community first.” Mr. Ronan was also annoyed that no one at the State Department of Social Services seemed to have any record that the 1935 Hertel building was indeed leased to the state. “It took me four days just to find out who owned the building,” he complained. “Then, when I found out that people in the building were evicted by the landlord, I notified Councilman Price.” Mr. Orndoff admits that this is the first time Transitional Services has been involved in an eviction process unknowingly or not, and asserts that this is also the last time. “Obviously,” he said, “this move by the landlord puts us in a bad light, even though we were not responsible.” -Welcome students to "THE miLLERSPORT fTlflRKET” Conference is set forprelaw women A law school recruitment conference for pre-law women will be held in the Grant Auditorium of the Syracuse University College of Law on Saturday, Oct. 19, at 9 a.m. Representatives from many law schools in the country will be present to discuss admissions and general information about their schools.

Organized in the US. by members of the Venceremos Brigade, this was the first delegation of student journalists to visit Cuba since the 1959 Revolution. This is the fourth in a series of articles about his experiences in Cuba. by Paul Krehbiel ContributingEditor In a small and underdeveloped country like -Cuba, problems require massive solutions. The expansion of agriculture and industry is eradicating underdevelopment and laying the foundation for a strong economy and social life. To help insure thq, realization of these goals, a massive program has been undertaken in education, health care, housing and development of mass organizations. From the mid-1950’s until 1962, illiteracy dropped from 24% to 3%, and the number of classrooms increased from 17,000 to 35,000. New schools were built throughout the island, so that by 1965, every municipality and town of 2500 people had junior and senior high schools, according to government figures. We saw new schools, both completed and still under construction, in many rural areas as we traveled in Cuba. massive _ Medical care In health care, all major sicknesses, such as small pox, tuberculosis and malaria have been greatly reduced or illiminated as a result of massive vaccination campaigns. For example, 7000-10,000 cases of malaria afflicted Cuba per year before the revolution, while only 10 cases occurred in 1967, according to Leo Huberman and Paul Sweezy in their book Socialism in Cuba. In most Latin American countries, infant mortality is around 80-100 for every 1000 live births. In Brazil, for instance, it is 140, while in Cuba this year, it is 27.4 per live births. Life expectancy in Cuba rose for men from 47 years before the revolution to 66 years by 1966; Cuban women now live to 70. Rural dispensaries have been set up in the most remote areas of Cuba, while polyclinics and local and regional hospitals have been established in every city. In the town of Holguin, in Oriente Province, we visited one of the largest hospitals in Cuba the V.I. Lenin Hospital. Equipped completely by the Soviet Union, the hospital is a concrete expression of the friendship and solidarity between the Soviet and Cuban peoples. housing and the quality of their work. As the apartments are completed, the workers in each surrounding factory and farm will select workers on this same basis to move into the completed buildings. We spoke to a group of construction workers, who were putting in sewer pipe. One man told us that their work-brigade had voted to work “two or three extra hours every day,” in order to speed the completion of the city. “The sooner it gets done, the sooner people can move in,” another added. The city is planned for 400,000 people, living in apartment buildings of five to 20 stories. Rent is set at about six percent of a worker’s wage, with an additional three taTaur percent for electricity and fuel. We also spoke to a group of second, third and fourth graders, who were playing outside the President Salvadore Allende Primary School. After asking about their subjects and favorite games and sports, we asked them if they knew who Salvadore Allende was. “He was President of Chile,” said one boy. “And do you know what happened to him,” we inquired? “Yes, he was killed by the bad guys.” Federation of Cuban women Mass organizations have played a major role in drawing the people into the life and work of the country. One such organization is the Federation of Cuban Women, which was founded in 1960. Prior to the revolution, it was difficult for women to participate in the social, political or economic life of the country. Yet Cuban women have a long history of struggle for The largest organization in Cuba is the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR). It was created in September of 1960, on every block of every city to defend the country against invasion, sabotage and internal counter-revolution by disposed persons from the Batista government. The CDR’s also helped in the Literacy Campaign, the mass vaccination campaign, and particularly in smashing the Bay-of-Pigs invaders within 72 hours of their landing at Playa Giron. Everything from supplying sporting equipment to a neighborhood athletic program to organizing neighborhood social events, to planning political rallies, falls under the guidance of the CDR’s. These are the grassroots organizations that practically every Cuban participates in to solve everyday problems. Elections in Matanzas Perhaps the most important advancement made in Cuba within the last year has been the construction of a local, regional and provincial government in Matanzas Province through popular elections. The Cubans told us that after the revolution, the most important demands put forth by the people were for food, decent shelter, jobs, education and adequate medical care, in order to insure survival. For the last fifteen years, fulfilling these needs has been the major task of the Cuban revolution, and dispite the crippling economic blockade imposed on Cuba by the United States government, Cuba has done remarkedly well. We were told by a leading member of the Communist Party that the present government is a provisional — Cancer research The hospital has major departments for surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics and psychiatry, as well as a large cancer-research department. The staff includes 165 doctors, 200 nurses and 1500 other hospital workers, while the whole region around Holguin had only 80 doctors before the Revolution. In addition, this hospital and its staff gained international recognition in December 1973,when doctors completed the first successful separation of Siamese twins 1959, 7800 doctors have in Latin America. Since graduated from Cuban medical schools across the country. After the Revolution, the need for housing was tremendous and a massive project to construct apartment buildings was undertaken. We visited a mammoth construction site 15 miles outside Havana where an entire city was being constructed from a master plan. This new city is called Alamar, and is being built in sections each containing modern apartments, shopping centers, schools, day care centers, a swimming pool and other recreation and cultural facilities. In the center of the city will be the administration buildings, large stores, museums, large movie theaters, and the major cultural centers. One section, at the periphery of the city, is reserved for industry. The idea is to isolate this section from the rest of the city with a belt of trees to keep the city free from any air and noise pollution. The top of a beautiful hill will be reserved for a public resort, so everyone can enjoy the surrounding scenery. All of these sections are interconnected by a mass transit system, so few or no cars will be needed in the city. Students in architecture, engineering and city planning have helped design the city, many have worked here, and fifth-year students write theses on problems that arise in its construction. Vietnamese students studying in Cuba planned one section of the city to express their friendship with the Cuban people. — Micro-brigades formed Each work place in the surrounding area chose a few workers <o form “micro-brigades” to work at Alamnr, Their selection was based upon interest in need of new The poster, ‘Cuba Today,' shows Cuban women who are working in agriculture. equal rights. Beginning with their participation in the War of Independence, they formed the Suffragist National Party in 1913 to win the right to vote, and the Women’s National Union in 1934 to secure equal wages, equal right to work, and the right to maternity leave and benefits. Two women participated in the assault on the Moncada Army Garrison, and women played a tremendous role throughout the Revolution, supplying the .Rebel Army, educating the people, administering medical treatment, and fighting Batista’s troops. After the Revolution, the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC), was established to give political, cultural and scientific education to women, and help bring them into the life of the society. With 376,000 members in 1962, the federation nearly doubled its membership to 668,000 by 1966. The Women’s federation played an important part in the literacy and mass vaccination campaigns, and in helping to repulse the Bay-of-Pigs invasion. One of the most important tasks of the federation, is to involve women in the productive process of the country. In addition, the federation has helped thousands of women get involved in art, music, drama and sports, as well as providing a vehicle through which Cuban women could meet women from other countries. Family code When we were in Cuba, posters were announcing the upcoming National Congress of the Federation of Cuban Women. One point on their agenda is a discussion of the proposed Family Code, which would require men and women to assume equal responsibility for racing their children. government, one whose task it was to insure the fulfillment of all these immediate needs. Elections had been so corrupt before the revolution that the people paid little attention to them; they were too concerned about their impovershed living and working conditions. Participation insured Now that these basic needs are being met and education and culture has taken hold among the people, elections have been set up to legally and structurally insure people’s participation in the decision-making processes of the country. Known as organs of People’s Power, these elected representatives will administer the vast majority of the Provinces’ production, services, education, arts and sports programs. Workers, peasants, students and others were elected to the various government levels. While the Federation of Cuban Women is very strong in Cuba, a low percentage of women were elected in the province of Matanzas, which has been criticized as a weakness. Once the various levels of government begin functioning in Matanzas Province, the Cuban government is planning to hold elections in the other provinces as well. “Who ever thought that we would never have elections?” asked Fidel Castro in a speech on July 26. “Of revolutionary elections, course we would have elections and infinitely better and more honest than all those bourgeois elections. And not because the bourgeoisie or international bourgeois opinion demands it,” he explained. “They will be held because they correspond to the principles of revolutionary democracy and Marxism-Leninism.” - Friday, 4 October 1974 . The Spectrum . Page five �Immediate, informal counseling is available The Legal Aid Clinic helps students with legal problems ranging from petty grievances to arrests. “The essential objectives of the clinic are to act as a referral service and an information center,” says director Bill Martin. Problems may be referred to a volunteer undergraduate staff member, or to one of the 10 law students associated with the clinic. Law students are also provided upon request, as defense counsel at Student-Wide Judiciary and Inter-Residence Judiciary hearings. If how to sign up for a service, such as food or linen, or if a campus a student were unsure organization wished to become incorporated, instance for lease or tax forms, or for consultation, perhaps following an arrest, students can make an appointment with one of the Wednesday evenings. As stated on the back of clinic’s attorneys for the “Incoming Call or Visitation Record” sheet, issued to each student who seeks aid at the clinic, any information received from the staff members who are not practicing lawyers in New York State may not be considered legal advice or opinion. “However,” said Mr. Martin, “we will not turn anyone away without having answered his question or suggesting to him someone else who might be able to help.” a member of the clinic staff would be able to outline Legal publications the procedural steps involved, Mr. Martin explained. The clinic has produced a number of “We make sure that every bit of information publications in an effort to enlighten students about disclosed in this office is 100 percent correct,” he the housing situation in Buffalo, the rules and procedures relative to the assessment and collection said. of tuition charges and fees, and the implications of the new drug laws enacted by the State Legislature.

The program, in its third year of operation, is the project of Dorothy Adema of the Counseling Center. “Room for Interaction,” located in Room 67S in Hardman Library basement, is comfortably furnished and softly lit. A coffee maker stands in a corner. From 10 a.m.—4 p.m. Monday through Friday, a counselor is on duty to aid anyone who feels the needs to come in. Help may take many forms. Some people just need to talk to someone about their loneliness or anxieties, Dr. Adema said. They may talk with a counselor or with other people who happen to be in the room. She noted that some people find it very therapeutic to listen to what others have to say about their own feelings. Individual concerns Each person is treated according to his or her own needs or desires as an individual. If necessary, including individual or group therapy, may be recommended. The point is to enable people to try to relieve their anxiety, instead of internalizing it without seeking help. Dr. Adema explained.

Fink Staff Writer the University. In addition, the program costs nothing to the students or to the University, he noted. Recently, the father of one student required several blood transfusions which were to cost $3000. But when Sub-Board was notified of the case, the blood expense was dropped from the medical bill. Spectrum An unlimited supply of blood is guaranteed free of charge anywhere in the U.S. and Canada to University members and their immediate families who sign up for the Blood Assurance Program. Developed jointly by Sub-Board I and the Buffalo chapter of the American Red Cross, the program has met with great success since its inception last May. A1 Campagna, director of Sub-Board’s Health Division, noted that during one recent campus visit of the Red Cross Bloodmobile, more blood was collected than in a previous six-month period without the program. This success is due to the “organized effort of the program,” he said, explaining that Sub-Board provides the program coordination and donor recruitment while the Red Cross supplies the blood-taking services. The University's end In return for this service, the University is expected to collect at least 1200 units of blood per year. While the donors are University-affiliated, one does not have to donate blood to be covered by the program. The only requirement is that a person be a member of the State University at Buffalo community or immediately related to a member. Graduates are eligible for one year after graduation. Mr. Campagna said the 1200 units of blood which are expected but not required, can be more than easily met by Creator R. E. Cunningham, of the Department of Microbiology, originated the concept of a Blood Assurance Program. He contacted Sub-Board officials and the Red Cross and discussed the organizational aspects with them. The first blood drive under the program netted over 300 units of blood in a single day. Previous University participation in blood donation efforts had been minimal because of a lack of organization, publicity and general interest. But “the University now plays a major role in the supply of blood to the city,” Mr. Campagna said. Sub-Board is presently undertaking an effort to organize all State University of New York units into a statewide blood program. The possibility of similar programs in other areas of health care is also being explored. The current blood donation drive will be held Monday, Oct. 7, in the Fillmore Room of Norton Hall. Red Cross personnel will be there to take blood from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mr. Campagna urged all interested students to preregister on Friday, Oct. 4, in the Student Association office, 205 Norton.

Page seven 5 �rial 1Edl ro Activism or practicality The fSct that many students and Day Care staff members have continued their efforts to secure funding for the Day Care Center this late into the semester has dramatically underscored the need for the Center to remain open. As we have said before, because Day Care has immeasurable social and educational values and is nothing less than a very basic right, it is extremely important that the State University of New York make it a policy to provide funds. It would be senseless, however, for the Day Care Center to close down this week or next simply because students and staff members are reluctant to temporarily seek funding through alternative channels. The fact remains that Day Care funds must come directly through academic lines, according to state-wide regulations. -It would therefore be more constructive for those who have been holding what are, in effect, symbolic rallies and demonstrations to concentrate their immediate efforts toward obtaining funds from academic departments and seeking contributions on a large scale. If the people who attended Wednesday's rally in Haas Lounge were to station themselves for one week throughout the University, in parking lots, buildings, eating places, and classes, it is reasonable to assume that a large number of small contributions could be collected. In the same way, an all-out appeal directly to the academic departments might convince a few faculty that Day Care has important educational merits. The State University of New York should rightfully provide funds for Day Care and students on this and other campuses should continue to demand them. But immediate and practical necessity demands that every available alternative be explored, even if doing so me ns for the moment taking less of an activist stance. A free press vigorous press is absolutely essential to the growth and subsistence of any free society. If nothing else, the events of the last A two years have demonstrated this. Were it not for the unobstructed reporting of two journalists from the Washington Post, Richard Nixon and his band of thugs might still be spying on their "enemies", buying people's silence, and using the machinery of government in other unseemly ways. The legislation now pending in Congress, designed to restrict agencies like the FBI from obtaining information from phone and telegraph companies to learn the identities of news sources, is an important step toward protecting potential sources who otherwise might feel too inhibited to reveal information that should be made public. Fortunately, the bill is being co-sponsored by a group of legislators representing every shade of the political spectrum, including local Congressman Jack Kemp (R., Hamburg), who has already demonstrated a strong committment to safeguarding the right to privacy by sponsoring legislation that would protect medicrecords that are being stored in Federal Data Banks. The passage of the new bill and several pending "Newsman Shield Laws," designed to protect journalists who refuse to disclose sources of confidential information will ensure the survival of a free press, and deserve widespread support from every sector of the American public. The Spectrum to ther ere by Garry Wills General Haig, if he is confirmed as the head of NATO, will exemplify that confusion of military and civilian life that he has preached all by too often in recent years. He not only lives of unquestioning the “good soldier” code he thinks others should do so too. obedience The most familiar case of this was his order to William Ruckelshaus to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox. He said Mr. Ruckelshaus could not refuse, since the order came from his Commander-In-Chief. But the president is Commander-In-Chief only of the military, not of civilian officials like Mr. Ruckelshaus. Haig’s statement was not an isolated slip. When three top Kissinger aides resigned in protest over the invasion of Cambodia, Haig also told one of them (William Watts) that he could not resign when faced with “an order from your - Commander-In-Chief.” Two of the aides who resigned gave their letter of resignation to Haig, as Kissinger’s top deputy, asking that he deliver it to Henry before the President’s announcement that Cambodia was being invaded. Haig delivered the letter two days afterward. The aides had not made their protest public, out of regard for their boss, but they did want their views to reach him. Haig did not repay their consideration in kind. Even when Kissinger gathered his staff together and begged them not to make waves, not to “go public” if they felt a need to resign, he was speaking without knowledge that two of his best men had already anticipated his plea. Haig is a great protector of his boss. When General Haig’s name showed up on the FBI request for wiretaps, Haig let Mr. Kissinger claim that he was not acting under his superior’s which seems improbable. Haig as rarely orders exceeds orders as he departs from them. Such protective loyalty to the boss was the very quality Nixon needed when his top aides were taken away from him. So Nixon, bereft of his own Haldeman, borrowed Kissinger’s Haldeman. He could count on the loyalty of the man he had jumped up to general’s rank in reward for political services. At first it was said - that Haig would not be involved in Watergate matters. But he was soon involved up to his military epaulettes. He not only passed the order for the Saturday night massacre, but called in the FBI to guard the documents against the very men who had worked on them. He was the implementer of all Nixon’s desperate maneuvers through the last spring and summer, the unquestioning last man in the bunker He is widely given credit, now, for helping ease Nixon out but that only came after every other device had failed. A general in the White House was the acting President in a tainted and a debilitated regime. Haig is not himself to blame perhaps. He didn’t belong there. The mistake was Nixon’s, in putting a general on that spot, where he was bound to respond like a soldier. But once the first error has been made, there is no need to compound it. Rewarding Haig for his shady services to Kissinger and Nixon is a way of condoning his acts, of entering into a kind of complicity with them. Congress should protect President Ford from such mistakes by denying confirmation. Some claim the matter is beyond the reach of Congress; but NATO is a treaty organization, and the Senate is the arbiter of treaties and the terms of their maintenance. It would be absurd for the President to claim a man should represent this nation’s compliance with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization when their own treaty-making body does not approve of him. It is not as if denial of the NATO post would deprive Haig of something that was due to him by right. He has never been a general with a truly he was promoted over men with military post greater experience while serving on Kissinger’s staff. He resigned his active commission to become Nixon’s substitute president. Even restoration to his full rank is damaging to the distinction between military and civilian orders. To go beyond such restoration and reward him with the NATO post is like the Nixon pardon played out on a smaller scale. And that is a mistake the President cannot afford to keep repeating. — Bubbleheads at UUAB was told that UUAB should have done that.

I mean action type meeting. I’ve been to enough of those, and went to the meeting with guarded expectations. Like the ad stated, being “forced” to go to classes on religious holidays is unlike the situation at any other SUNY center, as is not having a proper Judaic Studies Program. The ad mentioned several other grievances, then called upon Jewish students to get off their asses if they give a shit about being shafted and stepped on. An effective ad that turned some off, but stirred enough to swell attendance of the meeting to many times its usual number. I thought the meeting would be alive, surging with it was the energy. I should have known better same dull, unsatisfying, enormously frustrating type of situation so common nowadays. If most of the 60 or so people who attended were there due to their concern about having classes on the Jewish high holidays, then I think all were as frustrated as I was. Why? Nothing was done in regard to the immediate problem. Even a picket of classes on Yom Kippur, while most likely not effective enough to shut down classes, would have a purpose. That is, it would have taken the problem out of the JSU - - Service, Inc., Editor-in-Chief. Page eight. The Spectrum . Friday, 4 October 1974 the everyday, unexciting University life. So what if most went to class anyway. The problem would have become visible. Classes should have been closed not because all Jewish students observe the holiday, since I’m sure this is not the case, but because at least a sizable minority would observe the holiday if school was closed, and out of respect and consideration for these people school should be closed on these days. And this was the most disappointing to me. Few of the large percentage of Jewish students or any other students could give a shit about the people who observe the holiday. There’s no feeling of unity, no concern for the other person, based simply on human understanding. I’ll do what is good for me, keep my blinders firmly affixed, and go on my merry way. Well, too bad for you guy, whoever you are, religion no matter. This trend of hopelessness, of “we can’t do anything now, we will correct the problem next year” exhibited by JSU is an attitude which succumbs to the rules and regulations which have been imposed upon all of us. This meeting was a miniscule microcosm of today’s story. The only way to squeeze out of the cell we’ve been put into is to act in a way which hasn’t already been dictated by meeting and — into the daylight — the University ot society. Otherwise we admit to being perennial prisoners, and never venture forth from our stagnant stronghold. Neal M. Klein �Three for one Leo Kottke headlines night of unique and varied talent On Sunday night two very unique acts will be appearing in Clark Hall. They are the kind of acts that refuse to be labeled, except by those who must label everything and even they would have trouble (blues? country-rock? folk? wake me when we get to — Goshen). First, we have J.J. Cale. J.J.'s roots are firmly in Tulsa, and his music reflects all the influences that intersect in that part of the various country (bluegrass, rock and roll. Delta blues and country music, to name a few). But, like any really good musician, his influences are no more than that. His own musical personality dominates and transforms them. planted whispers. He likes muted tones. In his songs, no one instrument or part is ever outstanding. But Gale's talent lies in the ability to produce a superb integrated whole. Everything fits in, belongs right where it is, and consequently, the songs acquire a power much greater than the sum of their parts. They flow, they slither, they rock, and when they travel, you travel with them. It's the kind of ability that could only be possessed by someone who writes, arranges, engineers and performs with the same high degree of competence and quality. He's played with some heavy people, if you need credentials; Leon Russell, Delaney and Bonnie, and Traffic, for instance. He's also written some heavy songs "Crazy Mama" and "After Midnight" are probably the best known. Seems like he could be a star if he wanted to. But obviously, he prefers to keep it all laid back. — Travelin' music Gale's music is, in general, laid back. His voice is rough and bristly, coming out in growls and 'Fingers’ Kottke rides again Headlining the bill is Leo Kottke; guitarist extraordinaire. Kottke has one of the most brilliant and thoroughgoing knowledges of the acoustic guitar in the business. For example: his slide expertise alone sets him far and above the rest of the field. Using regular tunings, playing parts of a chord with and without the slide simultaneously and bending the harmonics under the slide are some of his more spectacular techniques. Leo is also known for his breathtaking speed. He can fingerpick more notes cleaner, faster and more tastefully than anyone else. His slow tunes are also delightful, containing the same immaculate taste and execution. Then there's his talent for writing and arranging. His inspired combinations of the classical, blues, traditional, bluegrass and country genres are truly unique. He also has an uncanny ability to come up /./. Ccrie with unexpected changes that inevitably leave you in awe. His arrangements of traditionals and other people's songs are also sometimes surprising, always inventive. And, of course, his performance is Leo Kottke impeccable. (It's even more amazing when you find has arthritis and that his hand sometimes in the middle of his fastest numbers. Somehow, he's figured out how to work around it and it doesn't cramp his style in the least.) out that he becomes paralyzed One man band So, everything put together, you have one man and one twelve string guitar filling a room (and I mean filling it) with more beautiful, varied, incredible sounds than usually considered humanly possible. Oh. Leo also sings. He says his voict "sounds like geese farts on a muggy day", but it': actually a very pleasing baritone. (Also appearing on the bill is Claire Hamill. I prefer not to comment on her, as she really is an unknown quantity to me at the present time.) That's this Sunday night at 8:30 p.m. in Clark Hall. Be there. (Coming up next week from UUAB: a mighty fine evening of jazz with McCoy Tyner and Pat Martino.) —Willa Bassen Claire Hamill �Max Bill combines poetry and math in his art Poetic, sensous art works based on mathematical formulas? Max Bill's sculptures, paintings, and graphics now on exhibit through November 17 at the Albright-Knox Gallery prove that such a combination can be successful. The retrospective, which is an exhibit of his work from 1928 to 1974,reveals a lyrical purity that points to a higher cosmic order not found in man's trivial, chaotic life. Each of the works presents the viewer with simple relationships of color, form, light, and movement in which to submerge his entire being an escape from chaotic reality. This Concrete Art, as Bill calls his work, is based on the use of purely perceptible elements of color, form, light, and movement as independent entities which cannot be referred to objective reality. By giving shape to these elements he creates a new reality, one stemming from the artist's mind rather than the material world. . Even though mathematical formulas are used to impose a rational order, the personal nature and individuality of the new reality is not lost, for within the creative process there is the ever-present element of choice, the subjectivity of which can't be denied. Max Bill has a wide range of choices to make: the use of color, form, size, surface texture, media, and mathematical formulas. These choices are then combined with development and eventual — —Huber Pictured here are two works by Max Bill to be exhibited at the Albright-Knox Gallery through November 17. Bill's sculptures reveal a lyrical purity that points to a higher cosmic order not found in man's trivial, chaotic life. transformation of a fundamental concept or theme, thus creating an infinite number of possibilities and a very personal art. Please touch out of space, but the shiny, reflective brass surfaces a rewarding aesthetic experience. These works have no beginning and no end; they are endless spirals that echo the cycles of nature and the beauty of cosmic order. One of the nicest presentations in the show involves the use of a white platform and two equal bases, each with an Endless Ribbon work on it. Surface From an Entire Spiral reflects the light and form of Contour Passes Through the Center which sits opposite. It is unfortunate that the ingenuity of this arrangement wasn't carried on in the arrangement of the other works of this series. Instead of being placed where the viewer can approach the pieces from all sides, the remainder of the series is roped off against the wall, forcing a limitation of viewpoint. This prevents a complete appreciation of the three-dimensional etched create The personal nature of Bill's work is evident in this exhibition. No one is prevented frdm touching the smooth granite surfaces of the intimate sculptures. These granite sculptures, the majority of which date from from the late forties and middle sixties, employ, as do his paintings, the mathematical approach to art. Bill defines this as "the building up of significant patterns from the ever-changing relations, rhythms, and proportions of abstract forms, each of which, having its own causality, is tantamount to a law unto itself." In his sculptures. Bill takes the basic unit of the sphere works. or ring and transforms it by slicing it into halves or quarters and rearranging them. By doing this, he creates a Stunning steel symbolic representation of active and passive cosmic By far the most stunning presentation is that of two forces. Construction From a Ring, one of the artist's contrasting stainless steel sculptures hung from the ceiling best-known works, shows two equal halves, one resting that not only reflect light from each other, but cast with complete stability upon the sculpture's base, the beautiful shadows on the white wall as well. The two other resting on top of it and appearing ready to fall off at sculptures seem to echo the contrast between free-flowing any moment. A simple geometric structure is transformed cyclic forms and more structural geometric forms.

His color choices affect the spatial movement of the flat surface, which ranges from subtle nuances of depth to a strong optical illusion. These two extremes are best presents by Four Colors in Equal Groups and Radiation Through Four Equal Color Quantitities, whose spots of thick paint make the surface seem to move even more. The most poetic are four individual, modest-sized works. The first two. Six Lines of Equal Length and Accents Out of Six Zones, employ a thick, white atmospheric haze where six flashes of energy, represented by various colored circles and rectangles, burst out. One seems to be viewing a great cosmic occurrance. This is also true of Unlimited and Limited whose subtle forms are etched out by colored light. Six Lines of Equal Length is the most lively of all Bill's paintings. It employs six lines, each of a primary or complementary color, arranged in a free-form manner. It is a sheer delight. The exhibit, except for the few instances noted, does justice to the genius of Max Bill. It is comforting to know that there is a world dominated by purity, poetry, order, and quiet, and that its creator is willing to share it. Nor words can truly describe what this cosmic world transmits to the soul of the viewer; it must be experienced.

It was a decline from the other "song-plays" because the actors in SAT's production failed to see what was funny in Coward’s wry lyrics.

He wrote the words for "Brother Can You Spare A Dime" (music: Jay Gorrey), "April in Paris" (music: Vernon Duke), "Necessity" (music: Burton Lane), "We're Off To See the Wizard" and "Over the Rainbow'' (music; Harold Arlen), and with co-lyricist Billy Rose, he wrote the words to Arlen's famous tune, "It's Only a Paper Moon". Other composers who set Harburg's words to music are Sammy Fain and Earl Robinson. member of both the academic and theatrical communities for 30 years, Bentley was born in England in 1916. Educated in England and the United States, he met Berthold Brecht in the early 40's when a student of Bentley was looking for a poet whose work she could print. Bentley and Brecht formed a lasting association with the former acting as translator, editor, and critic of the playwright's work. The critic, who began writing songs as a result of having to write "sizeable" lyrics for songs by Brecht and Prevert, has been performing for friends and colleges for over 10 years. In his book The Playwright as Thinker, Bentley writes that in the new realist conception of A playwrights working post-World War I, the general loosening of the dramatic form through narrative naturalism was not a sufficiently revolutionary reaction to the "well-made play" tradition. and Says Tame In I've Got A Song, all they've got are songs and pretty fluffy, trivial, and pedestrian songs at that. Despite what Bert Lahr may have said, the rhymes in Harburg's lyrics are tame compared to the tricky, ingenious rhymes of Noel Coward or (in the Weil production) of Ogden Nash. In the current songfest, nothing gets built. I don't think anyone Bentley. naturalism "If the earlier with in came the — discovery of the 'true meaning of life' in Darwinist science, the later Epic Theater came in with the discovery of the 'true meaning of life' in Marxist science." expected anything very moving from Harburg's songs, but there is quite a difference between an theatrically cohesive collection of musical pieces sung by actors who establish distinct personalities throughout the music, and just a bunch of songs sewn together into a threadbare quilt. The seams show in I've Got A Song; fabric rips.

Friday, 4 October 1974 . The Spectrum . Page eleven » �IN WHITER Jeannie herself. Several minutes before she is raped, that sequence and its whole aftermath are already being telegraphed to us. Tragedy is always marked by a sense of inevitability, and it may have been this feeling that Fruet was trying for; but his film is more high melodrama than tragedy, and his foreshadowing of its resolution creates not so much a dim sense of impending doom as an oppressive certainty of it. by Randi Schnur Asst. Arts Editor Jeannie Dougall was a model daughter — too shy to hold a job, apparently too shy even to finish high school, and oh, so quiet. Her father was. to admit that she was "not too bfighti" but she obeyed him with the utter, unttupking passivity of a good soldier (which he still liked to believe he was) or a good woman. In the grand tradition perpetuated in the household by her mother Mary, Jeannie obeyed Jim Dougall's orders virtually before he gave them. Even when the family's reputation and the girl's life the/first Kudos All of the performances are good, and a few are really excellent. Doris Petrie, dismissing Jim's chronic drunkenness as "just man's way,'' is fine as the kind but spineless mother Mary. Donald Pleasance, a consistently terrific actor, has played many were destroyed by the sexual appetite of a visiting drunken soldier, she listened to father first, presumably because she had nothing else to listen to. Wedding in White is a beautiful study of misplaced values and mismanaged lives. stronger roles than that of Jim Dougall, but his portrayal of the selfish, repressive ex-soldier, reliving his youth through his relationship with Jim Junior while turning his daughter into an emotional cripple, is There are no heroes, no idealistic sense of honor in its narrow world of beer-guzzling Scottish-Canadian war veterans and their soldier sons and star-struck daughters. The ideal to which they cling is the far more limiting one of "respectability." Innocent Kane Jeannie's Sixteen-year-old almost incredible naivete (made believable by the child like, ethereal beauty of actress Carol Kane) keeps her from struggling too hard against the heavy blinders her family wears, but also leaves her unable to cope with the often-unreasonable demands of the rest of the world. whose When her best friend Dollie character combines a somewhat perverted interpretation of the parents' ideals with all the worst features of every forties femme plays out one of her fatale movie star seduction scenes with a friend of Jeannie's older brother and then stops the reel just short of the finale. It's dumb little Jeannie who gets raped. — — Three months later, when her father learns of her pregnancy, it becomes her fault and she is beaten again; and scarcely a week after that, she finds herself trapped in a disastrous marriage to an old man who is usually too drunk even to be called lecherous. Constantly blamed for other people's mistakes and made to solve their problems, she never gets a chance to work on any of her own. World maker William filmmaker Fruet, who the wrote young Canadian and directed Wedding in White, has recreated perfectly the world of lower middle-class, war-time Canada. Filmed for the most part in a tiny house in Toronto, it is beautifully set and photographed, and details like the cutouts from movie magazines on Jeannie's walls and the middle-aged female band at the dance hall where Jeannie and Dollie spend their evenings establish the atmosphere equally well. But while precise attention to familiar patterns paid off here in the area of production design, it was considenably less effective when applied to the plot, and Fruet's story line is about as innovative as far more than adequate. But it is Carol Kane, a relative new-comer best known for her tiny role as Art Garfunkel's teenage girlfriend in Carnal Knowledge, who really makes this film work. She has a delicate, other-worldly sort of beauty which makes the mouse like Jeannie, who might otherwise have seemed almost imbecilic, into a real and very attractive human being. She passes from horror to horror with only the barest of reactions, but Jeannie is always genuine, never merely pathetic. Though it is a small film about a collection of extremely narrow people, the technical excellence of Wedding in White gives it an appeal far larger than its scope. Now playing at the Kensington and Evans Theatres, Fruet's movie, which incidentally ran away with the Grand Prize at the Canadian Film Festival in 1972, is if it is emotionally stunning even predictable. ’’THE LONGEST YARD" by David Everitt Spectrum Arts Staff The American action picture has always revolved around a code of masculinity that stresses determination, pride, and violence. In the hands of such masters as Hawks or Walsh, this code has traditionally served to define heroism and moral strength. Robert Aldrich's The Longest Yard strips this machismo down to its most primeval and unappetizing elements in a brutal film. The film advocated an uncompromising virility taking precedence over most everything else, including any semblance of human intelligence. This movie is a major disappointment from a major American director destined, unfortunately, to make a lot of money. If nothing else, the premise for this macho contest is carefully contrived. A former football star on his way down (Burt Reynolds) is sent to prison for making off with his mistress' car. Behind bars he is ordered to organize a prisoners' football team to play against the guards' semi-pro team. Somewhere between the try-outs and the opening of the first quarter, he suddenly realizes that ma be the prisoners' should try to win. so much stated as it is bludgeoned home. The villain a spineless prison ward is a silly caricature played by Eddie Albert. points is not — — Monkey business is him Reynolds' Opposing prisoner football-squad, a race of neanderthals in somewhat varied shapes and sizes. Not only are these grotesques hard to take seriously, but, worse yet, they're not even funny for very long. The humor or the film is an important consideration because for much of its two and a half hour length the picture appears to be a comedy for lack of being anything else. To describe the film's sense of humor as being heavyhanded is putting it mildly. For The Longest Yard, slapstick means cracking someone's collar bone. Reynolds' central figure is conceived as a combination of Paul Hornung and Joe Namath, the golden boy who shaved off his moustache for a TV commercial as well as selling out his own team. As an actor, Reynolds seems content to play along with whatever his own promotional material says he is. The promise he showed in such films as Deliverance and Shamus seems to be forgotten by even him. For brief moments in The Longest Yard we see glimpses of his natural charm, but most of it is lost that is so central to in the he-man type the film. Ballgame This leads to the contest between prisoner and guard, the battle of "balls" as it is frequently and blatently explained to us. With little to win and even less to lose, the prisoners can only hope to accomplish one thing under these controlled circumstances: reassertion of their manhood which, according to the film's writers, means busting the heads of a lot of guards along with just about every other part of their ■ collective anatomy. As long as no one in the audience thinks about it, this premise is fine. Why would a prison warden want a prisoner-guard football game in the first place? Does he really have to ask for that kind of trouble? Working within this doubtful framework, the film's insane machismo obsession dominates everything that might otherwise have been dictated by such things as artistry and professional integrity. Each of the film's Page twelve The Spectrum Friday, 4 October 1974 . . Two levels In the last analysis The Longest Yard lends itself to two levels of obnoxiousness. On the superficial level is the brainless masculinity already mentioned. Past this superficiality is a second level of cynicism that created this transparent trash. Director Aldrich, most famous for Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and The Dirty Dozen, has recently added to his outstanding repertoire such gilms as The Grissom Gang, Ulzana's Raid and Emperor of the North. These films have not attracted much public attention, conceivably because of their peculiar hard-headed point of view. Whatever the reason, the Aldrich elan evident in these films, has not reached many people. Judging from the reaction so far, it's no wonder The Longest Yard is going to make a bundle. Prison hostility, Burt Reynolds, and football the — banal concoction of topical attractions would seem to be the perfect exploitation package. I assume Aldrich considered The Longest Yard a calculated investment. It would be a shame if he acturally thought it was a movie. It is playing exclusively in this area at the Holiday I Theater.

'/ 1- '>y Disappointment at Convention Center Little Feat, Little Feat where are you? Last week for the second time this month I expected to hear Little Feat and was, for the second time, disappointed. Two weeks ago it was the overzealous police who triggered a small riot at Delaware Park and didn't alldw Little Feat to play. Last Thursday night, the band cancelled as the opening act for Joe Cocker and I was left in limbo again. Oh yes. Little Feat did play in New York last weekend and my sources tell me they were as superb live as they are on record. (If you don't know how they sound on disc, I recommend a trip to your local record store for their new album.) The concert did go on last Thursday night but without knowing the exact location of the Niagara Falls Convention Center I arrived a bit late. It seems that the planners of this oversized airport was the same man doing the same song that had excited millions during that big rock concert several years ago. It was a long night for Joe and the hundred who had paid five dollars to see him. I hope that Little Feat will play in Buffalo soon so that concert goers can get their money's worth. —Jay Vidockler New ideas at Panic Theater Back in 1971, a group of dorm residents felt the to produce a play. They wanted to do a musical comedy, and they wanted it to be all their own, not affiliated with the Theatre Department or anyone else. They got together some money from the Inter-Residence Council (IRC), put on Once Upon a Mattress in Goodyear Cafeteria, and had such a good time that they wanted to do it again and let others experience the same excitement. So they talked to IRC, drew up a constitution, and called themselves Panic Theatre, a group dedicated to putting on free musical comedies that anyone could be in. At the rate of one play per semester, the group put on Pajama Game, Guys & Dolls, Kismet, and need hanger neglected to put up any road signs to point the way. When I finally arrived. Focus was playing "Hocus Pocus" and they continued t do so for about fifteen minutes. Focus's lead singer (Thijs van Leer) yells, yodels, screams, and makes just about any noise he can except sing. Anything Goes, and now they're putting together Meredith Willson's The Music Man. The plays are chosen by the Panic Theatre Club (which also chooses the director), auditions are held, and they're off. This year, they are funded by the Student Association (SA) but also depend on booster sales Cocker returns After Focus's very boring set there was a short intermission and then the moment the crowd had been waiting for the Return of Cocker. The last time I saw Joe Cocker was in March, 1970 with Mad Dogs and Englishmen and there were 21 people backing him up. Three and a half years later and 15 people less, there he was (donations — Cocker's first song was "Pardon Me Sir”, and although the band was tight for this rock and roll number, it was obvious that Cocker's voice had lost a lot. The power that once made him one of the top white blues singers in the world was no longer there. Cocker went through the fifteen songs. Most of them were from his last two albums, but he did reach back in the past and do "Hitchcock Railway" and "Space Captain". Towards the end bf his set he asked the audience if his hour was up. It was as if he was sentenced to play for an hour and he was stuggling, hoping that time would fly. Doing time a "Patron"). sing well enough." High hopes Steve views The Music Man as a crucial part of Panic Theatre's future. "If this show's successful," he explained, "then next semester we'll draw many more people to auditions." Though the casting isn't has completed, high yet Steve hopes. "Percentagewise, auditions yielded a very good amount of talent. We hope to have the cast by Monday." One of the chief problems of Panic Theatre is finding a place to hold the show. Goodyear Cafeteria served as its auditorium until last year, when Food Service's generosity ran out. Anything Goes was performed in the Fillmore Room in Norton Union which can seat more people, but poses the same staging problems as the cafeteria. This year, the group is trying to secure the Drama Workshop in the Ellicott Complex on the North Campus. "It's an interesting set-up. We could do a lot more there than in Goodyear or Norton. It's not as confined," Steve said. Also, the workshop is already equipped with lights, which would enable money otherwise needed for rental fees to go back into the production. Bands on the run The Music Man, for those who missed it on afternoon television, is the story of Harold Hill, a travelling con-man who makes a living selling boys' bands to towns. He promises to teach the townspeople's children to play instruments by the "Think Method", then runs off before the people discover that "Professor" Harold Hill can't play a note himself, much less teach music. In River City, however, he gets his foot caught in the door, and is forced to produce a band by a crowd of angry townspeople. New to Panic Steve, who has never worked with Panic Theatre before, is directing a musical (which he regards as "one of the best forms of pure entertainment we have") for the first time in his theatrical career. He is not a newcomer to theatre, however, having worked , Prodigal Sun giver Untamable "Kate" Steve Farber, director of this semester's production, talked about Panic Theatre's plans and problems. Originally, the play. Kiss Me Kate, was chosen, but when auditions came around, only 30 people showed, including 10 males, not enough for a production the size of Kate. "It was too hard. Too many parts and not enough people. Besides, Kate is one of the hardest shows to do," he explained. Steve feels one of the major problems with Panic Theatre in the past was its tendency to overextend itself. "Panic Theatre should look for plays that they can do. They weren't working with the talent they had, they were trying to work with more than they had. You can't do a show that way." For those reasons, Steve changed the play to The Music Man, smaller and simpler. Steve plans to make "lots of changes" in the way the production is handled, including a greater emphasis on acting, rather than on the music. He plans to work only on the acting parts of the play, leaving the musical segments to the musical director, Nancy Elardo, and the vocal coach. Unlike past shows, according to Steve, the emphasis in casting will be on acting ability, with only small concern for singing talent. "Anyone who can carry a tune can again. What was going through Cocker's mind was probably the same sort of Unfortunately, the friends that had helped him most in the past (Leon thing that goes through my mind when I'm sitting in a boring math lecture. After he left the stage, the customary match lighting ceremonywent on and Joe came back to do "With A Little Help From My Friends". Unfortunately, the friends that had helped him most in thepast (Leon Russell, Claudia Linnear and Carl Radler, for instance) were not around. It was hard to believe that this which make the show, Anything Goes. Steve's ultimate goal is to upgrade Panic Theatre's recently acquired reputation, which he blames for the poor audition turnout last week. He cringes at the mention of Anything Goes, and last year refused to do a review of Kismet for The Spectrum. "The director and I agreed that it would be best not to review it," he said, shaking his head. It's this dissatisfaction with the past shows that makes him all the more determined to make The Music Man something special. a number of times with the now-defunct Nickel Theatre, a group very similar to Panic Theatre which produced one evening of eight to ten short plays by different directors each semester. Admission to these shows was (that's right) a nickel. Steve is not a theatre major, nor is anyone else in Panic Theatre. Working with him is the producer. Mart Susie. "We think alike", says Steve, "and we're both interested in the same thing a good show." Mart was technical director for Panic Theatre's last - —Center The Panic Theatre constitution specifies three points for the productions: 1) they must be musical comedies; 2) anyone who auditions must get a part; and 3) the object is to have fun. For Steve, this doesn't mean getting up on stage and fooling around. "I think there's more fun in working on and putting out a show that everyone can be proud of than anything else." To accomplish this, they need more volunteers for the orchestra and stage crew, as well as people who just want to help out. If you are interested in putting your spare time to good use, call Steve at 831-1476. If you haven't got the time, then at least watch for The Music Man on November 21, 22, and 23. It should prove to be an interesting new direction for Panic Theatre. —Kevin Crane Friday, 4 October 1974 .

John and Co. finally come bouncing on stage: blue T shirt and orange jeans, the country boy with the flower power smile looking out on sophistocate city. The sound men put the final touches on the mix as the band goes into their first tune, an uptempo number in which they all get to strut their stuff a little. Yea, this is gonna be good. Tight, tasteful and pleasing. Joh has a new album out (to be reviewed next week), and most of the numbers he does are from it. There's "Friends Again", a kind of honky-tonk up-beat smiling number. There's "Sitting Here In Limbo", a soft, lyrical tune, the kind John's voice is so perfect for. And "Dixie Chicken" (yes. Little Feat fans), a funky Southern song. Tight and together The band was really so good that I must take the time to give them all credit. John had two lead guitarists with him; Ronnie Koss on a Les Paul and mellow vibrate tones one — it even sounded like a flute point. Kenny Altman rounded out the sound with bass that bopped and flowed (according to the song). He has the kind of taste that can step out and really shine in two short bars or just stand back and back it all up to perfection. The drummer, Kelly Shanahan, finished it up with a subtle, laid back feel that pulled it all together. And Sebastian, of course, the perfect soft touch man no matter how brassy he lines gets. John Sebastian Very good So John was good, the material was good, the band was good, the seats were good. There was only the audience was very, very good. one problem After a few numbers, John said, "Hey.

And at the last number: "V'know, I'm not really used to playing places Felix Cavaliere Felix Cavaliere (Warner Bros.) Felix Cavaliere is no stranger in the changing landscapes of pop the music. If your memory serves you well you'll remember Felix was the The Rascals, In behind the force driving player and keyboard rocking. mid-sixties The Rascals were synonymous with funky, soulful They captivated a huge audience and almost made AM radio a viable (and medium. Yet as the sixties aged and faded, a singles oriented band The Rascals) was were as in genre, rooted a soul-rock firmly so one hard-pressed to sustain interest and appeal that was shifting quickly to the psychedelic and more progressive areas of rock n roll. The Rascals the became victims of the second wave of the English rock invasion, albums as advent of the San Francisco sound, FM radio which played The Rascals inherent in the confinements opposed to singles, and soul-rock milieu. The Rascals convulsed and died. Out of this history Felix Cavaliere, phoenix-like, returns to the contemporary music setting. His new solo Ip simply entitled Felix Cavaliere demonstrates a hefty quota of rich melodies, expressive vocals and a band that displays an amazing cohesion, verve and artistry. It is a charming little sleeper of an album that grows more infectious able after each listening. Felix's initial solo project has enlisted the assistance of Carman Moore and Todd Rundgren. Carman co-wrote most of the Ip's material with Felix, and provided the shimmering string/arrangements while Todd, that emaciated studio whizz, shared the production chores with Cavaliere. The successful menage a trois creates a formidable framework from which the music ignites and takes off. Jerry McKuen on a Telly. Ronnie was more immediately noticed for his brash licks and musical sense of humor.

They have brought in some good acts, will probably bring in more and better as time goes on, and the price of a drink gets you in. The concert I saw last Monday night will be aired on WPhD in the very near future. It's definitely worth it to tune in. And, lying on your own living room floor instead of sitting in a small wrought iron chair should add that comfortable feeling that makes listening to John Sebastian and Co. justright. —kVilla Bassen The songs primarily revolve around the quest for love and the uncertainties, vicissitudes, and fears which accompany attaining that aspiration. "A High Price to Pay" and "I'm A Gamblin' Man" deal with the difficulty in becoming truly vulnerable and open in a love relationship. "Summer In El Barrio" is a unique wedding of Van Morrison and Jay and The American influences pulled off beautifully by Felix's affinity to relate human situations and make them live and breathe. "Future Train" shows Cat Stevens what "Peace Train" could have been if the song was carried off with vision, integration, and a little bit of soul. "Funky Friday" is a superlative dance number highlighted by Rundgren's sizzling guitar phrasings. The tune shakes, rattles, and rolls and must be a descendant of that other infamous Friday stomper by The Easybeats, "Friday On My Mind". But the last track on the album caps it off. "I Am Free" is a bundle of fiery electricity that explodes from the speakers. Felix plays some nifty organ ARP while Rundgren counters with ferocious guitar wailings. The result is a cataclysmic catharsis which swirls and flutters into a hypnotic aerial dog-fight. The intensity of "I Am Free" underlies the emotional component that charges the other, more restrained songs. Especially effective throughout the course of the Ip is the utilization of a quartet of female vocalists who weave a sweet mellowness into the songs. The guitar parts played by Todd Rundgren, John Hall (of Orleans) and Elliot Randall (solo on Steely Dan's "Reeling In The Years" and now with Sha Na Na) are paragons of virtuosity. Accolades are also delved by the brass section, Randy Breaker and the Boys, who can intone a Latin feel as easily as they can surrealistic musings. The album can be criticized from the standpoint that the lyrics are cliched or trite but the album doesn't stand or fall on that aspect. Felix's voice and the band's solidarity nullify any naivete or triteness that the lyrics produce. Felix.pulls and stretches the limits of the soul-rock genre to its boundaries and almost beyond. The Ip is finally a celebration of love between Felix and his music and a warm reassurance that Felix Cavaliere is still grooving. —C.P. Farkas Who controls music in this Universe The Beatles released Sgt. Pepper in 1967. Within three weeks, John Coltrane was dead Four years later, The Beatles officially broke apart. Three days after the story hit the New York Times, John McLaughlin received his first review in Rolling Stone. Today, John McLaughlin died as an overpass on the West Side Highway collapsed on his car. The only survivor was the chauffeur, who said Mahavishnu had been discussing the possibility of recording an album with Elvin Jones and George Harrison, and then the roof caved in. It was exactly seven and one half years ago that Sgt. Pepper was released. Tomorrow, the New York Times will express surprise that neither Jones nor Harrison had been aware of Mahavishnu's death, and yet both of them spoke of Mahavishnu in the past tense. Jones and Harrison had met each other just three blocks from the scene of Mahavishnu's death. That was in 1972, eight months to the day after Jimi Hendrix's overdose on barbituates.

It was a great concert until Keith Richards broke a guitar string. He swore a nasty curse word that was picked up by his microphone, and caused the local authorities to bust the concert. Exactly four years later Jim Morrison was busted for exposing himself at a performance by the Doors. In the fifth row sat John McLaughlin, sniffing cocaine for the last time. He swore to himself that he would never expose himself on stage. He never did. The next day Ray Manserek of the Doors jammed with McLaughlin. Mahavishnu later introduced Manzerek to Tony Williams. In 1974 they played together on an album. It was released on the anniversary of Coltrane's death. In England on that afternoon, Jagger and Harrison sat in George's home, listening to Electric Ladyland. COULD ALL THIS BE A COINCIDENCE? —Jeff Benson Prodigal Sun �RECORDS Freddie Hubbard High Energy (Columbia) \ Dear Friends and reader. After reading the bath of reviews in the paper weeks ago I almost feel like apologizing for being a reviewer. Luckily, I have a better route to follow than that, and since I was so angry and I had a record to write up, I'm taking this more positive approach, which is to do this sordid business of reviewing my own way. What did those critics do? Listen, music is a fantastic, unique art. It has no other needs than itself, it doesn't symbolize or represent, it just is. And every one of those reviewers distorted the art: every review insisted on comparing. One went so far as to compare each song on his album to another musician's work. Fuck that! The musicians don't need that sort of anti-encouragement. It's bad enough critics try to discuss music with words, but when they become a detrimental force, it's time to start phasing them out. (Not me, though.) Arts of different forms can grow from each they're just plain other, but critics are not artists hacks. Artists are involved with feelings, raw, soft, and powerful, but none of those reviewers said how the music made them feel. All this intellectualizing, and comparing, but when it gets down to the roots, they're just watering some sweaty pair of sneakers. The only exception was that New Riders concert review, and the critic walked out before it was over. Now that's where it's at. Okay, Freddie Hubbard. If you want to know exactly how this album sounds, if you want to hear the notes and the rhythms as they are, call me up (my number is 837-2552), come over, bring some tea, and you'll hear it perfectly. For those of you without a phone, or a dime, or that kind of energy, wait a few weeks and the Listening Room on the second floor of Norton Union will have it. If you're two — lOcc Sheet Music (London) Once again lOcc has energized a piece of vinyl unique whimsy, madcap humor, and artistic insights. Their debut album was one of the apexes of last year's musical calendar and Sheet Music is a truly worthy successor, continuing and expanding the delicious and delightful romps of lyrical mayhem that made lOcc so marvelous. Sheet with their Music validates that the first album was no fluke and propels the group into the top echelon of bands in the contemporary rock scene. lOcc is the triumph of integrating the best elements of popular music and thoroughly embellishing this gestalt with winning intelligence. The opening entree on the platter, lOcc's abortive single "The Wall Street Shuffle", graphically depicts with mock heaviness and Beatle-esque vocals the powerful and would-be-powerful as they slide and slink after the almightly buck. Oh Howard Hughes, did your money make you better? Are you waiting for the hour when you can screw me? Cause you're big enough to do the Wall St. shuffle. The remainder of the first side cascades and tumbles onver a variety of concerns. "Hotel" is a reggae rocker spiced with anti-American sentiment, "Worst Band In The World" spoofs the record industry and Prodigal Sun ir'.y b;vf,( still not satisfied, I have this to say: Freddie Hubbard sounds exactly like . . . Freddie Hubbard. Listen to any of his recent albums and this one will surely not surprise you. Freddie has a style, maybe it's such a deep set style it's a rut (and watch your roots, toots). I once heard Roy Eldrige talk. Roy is one of the all-time greatest trumpet men, and he said, "Well, first there was Louis (Armstrong) and myself, then there was Dizzy, and Clifford Brown, and Booker Little, and now you have this young fellow Freddie Hubbard." Freddie's not so young, but Roy is very, very old, arid when a veteran like him praises a young upstart, you know that has meaning. Freddie may be the most technically proficient trumpet player ever. But what's technique without feeling? I heard this album with my friend Gene, as we were both falling asleep. It's a good time for me to hear music because my brain, with all its labels and silly ideas, is disintegrating, and I can get into the sound of the sound. Slowly, I lost all those critic words (all his songs are the same, nothin' new, no explorin') and I started floating on the stream of Freddie's musical thoughts. And in the pit of my skinny belly a little fire kindled, and it sent warmth to my ankles and moustache, and when the album was over I was curled into a very nice little corner of the universe. It was a moment or five before Gene or I felt like getting up to put on something else. What did we put on? Oh yeah, this Anthony Braxton album of solo alto playing . . . strange. This is Freddie's first album on Columbia. That just means that musicians and the rest of us don't exist in a vacuum cleaner than the way it is. There's business, like a drunken dragon, burning us all over the place. And it presents a nice little paradox: the music business produces beautiful music that helps us escape the business world, the world of everything from mononucleosis to archaic music reviews. —Jeff Benson its fascination with commercial success, and "Clockwork Creep", a frenzied tale about an airplane at the mercy of a time bomb are just some of the riotous terrain explored and chartered by the boys. Side two is even more of a wonder. "Silly Love" is a stinging lampoon of the love song genre that incorporates a dash of heavy metal to get its message across. "The Sacro-Iliac" is a dance song about a non-existent dance. Figure that one out if you can. "Oh Effendi" comically chronicles imperialistic attempts at exploiting third world nations amid the swirl of driving rhythms and captivating harmonies. In the middle of a caravan On a 4 wheel drive oasis There's a man with a thought in mind To cash in on the desert faces He's got a truckload of Yorkshire girls For your harem goingplaces And the border bums never saw The guns in the whiskey cases. Yet even amongst these standout cuts the multi-faceted "Somehwere In Hollywood" outshines the other gems. It is a song that undergoes more changes than a chameleon on a paisley backdrop. The song involves the absurdities and celebrities which Hollywood creates to feed a nation starving for tinsel and fantasy. The cut is constructed in such a dynamic fashion that the song promises to become visual. The editing is so inventive and precise that the myriad creative twists and turns approach what can only be described as a near cinematic reality. "Somewhere In Hollywood" is indicative of the spiraling heights lOcc can reach through their studio when expertise coupling their technological know-how wit the soarings of inspired imagination. lOcc remains a critic's band and it is hard to understand why their popularity does not go beyond that elitist circle. Their heady knack for all phases of recording is simply amazing. The music is always tight and clean, with occasional falshes of searing guitar and bass bellowings that indicates these guys can play with the best of them. But the best thing about this anglo-aggregate is the fact they prove intelligence and wit is not alien or mutually exclusive with rock 'n roll. Any band that can make literary allustions from Milton to Mailer and then blow you away with some awesome power chording can't be all bad. Sheet Music salivates with style, humor, rocking wit and memorable melodies. lOcc is a band for the people and they contain the stuff of which legends are made. — C.P. Farkas Good Rat* Tasty (Warner Bros.) I What did Skinner, Willard, and The Pie)|i Piper of Hamlin all have in common? Those rather loathsome beady eyed creatures who always try to eat you out of house and home. Your in-laws? No, Rats. Once again these scavengers are here to pick your pockets. This time, however, it might not be so bad. Today's musicians usually emerge with unique group names, but Good Rats is certainly esoteric. Just look at the cover. Sitting pretty like a stuffed turkey, is a huge rat just waiting for Monday Night Football to come on the boob tube. Spicy, huh? No, actually it's called Tasty and is a rather tasteful album. Each new album gives a group room to grow. But Good Rats has already developed a unique style. Although not a heavy rock band, their genre consists of rhythm and blues, jazz, and soft rockers. Even back to back on an album, this diversity sounds good. Good Rats seems to have it all together. Mickey Marchello and John Gatto, guitarists; Lenny Kotke, bass; and Joe Franco on drums combine their talents to make each cut on this Ip a real listening experience. Lead vocalist, Peppi Marchello adds an extra dimension to the group which just about wraps everything up (how else can you describe someone whose vocals are somewhere between Rod Stewart and Robert Plant?)! You have to hear it to believe it, cause you probably never thought they would be so good (at least I didn't). The first cut, ''Back To My Music", says it all. A soft rocker, this little lick shows the group knows where it's at. A good rhythm section, the picking and strumming of the guitars keep steadfast time with the drums. This momentum builds until it reaches a sizzling climax as the Marchello brothers and Kotke harmonize singing the reprise in run style. Really nice. Everyone has to have a politically oriented song, and Good Rats is no exception. "Injun Joe" is their contribution to the Red Man's strife. Actually a ballad, it begins with a cute little Spanish rhythm which sets off the sweeping movement that is kept throughout the cut. Franco leads this syncopation with a tom-tom beat on the drums while the guitarists slide along the bars with their electric riffs. Marchello simply brings the house down as he sings in his husky voice. I told you they were unique. Need more convincing? Try "300 Boys". The guitars open this lick with a little stacatto, evolving into a boogie-type number. You can picture this as Mae West's theme song as she'd sing: / play with 300 boys I give them cookies and toys But the Rats have had their influences and it is evident in a few of their cuts. "Fireball Express" is reminiscent of the sixties and groups like the Monkees. They do a great imitation of the Pointer Sisters in "Fred Upstairs and Ginger Snappers", a 30's medley which is sure to get you tapping. And they even manage to get in that ever popular eerie wind effect in a R&B number entitled "Phil Fleish". A little tired of waiting for the Messiah of the 70's? Try Tasty.

Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and CSNV have all returned for our dollars, after having been sidelined for a variety of reasons Now, Traffic is making a comeback of sorts (even though they never actually left us). With the release of When the Eagle Flies, Steve Winwood and group have ended the apparent lapse of creativity which marked their last three albums. Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory, their last studio album, contained little of significance, while the two live efforts,' Welcome to the Canteen and Traffic on the Road, provided us with sloppy, drawn out renditions of previously recorded songs. The seven new songs on this Ip, Traffic's most jazz oriented to date, are certainly a step in the right direction. The latest permutation of Traffic consists of four members (having varied between three and seven since 1970). Consequently, the sound is very tight and uncluttered. Conga player 'Reebop' Kwaku Baah has left, and bassist David Hood has been well do it, and unlike such luminaries as Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman, uses the synthesizer as an instrument rather than a device with which to make a noise Although much of the music has a subdued feel to it, the singing and unique arrangements make it thoroughly enjoyable, and the instrumental work is, for the most part, excellent. The album opens with "Something New", an uptempo R&B styled song about a burned-out love affair, featuring some very fine piano. "Dream Gerrard", an eleven-minute fantasy piece, gets off to a bad start due to some dopey lyrics, but soon segues into an excellent instrumental break, reminiscent of "The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys". Winwood's use of mellotron (simulated string section), played against a jazz background, makes for an extremely eerie effect, setting the tone perfectly for People", "Graveyard an excellent first side. "Walking in the Wind", in much the same vein as "Empty Pages" from the John Barleycorn Ip, is probably the best song on this album. It includes extremely memorable melody and chorus lines, and stands in direct contrast to the gloomier material presented here. The restrained, subtle quality present in many of the songs may be attributable to Winwood, who, after ten years as a recording artist, seems to think he is growing old. This theme is dealth with in "Memories of A Rock 'N Rolla", a philosphical statement on the ins and outs of the music business in which he quips, "A country house/ and sixty acres/ are a heavy load". The tired, sing-song vocal, along with the listless guitar playing, combine to make this piece more boring than meaningful. The title cOt is also a disappointment; its warnings of apocalypse marred by poor vocal phrasing and delivery. "Love" consists of a pretty flute-organ passage followed by one verse of lyrics. Winwood's voice is at its best here, plaintively reaching out with a message of loneliness: "Love If you see me don'tpass me by need somebody or else I'm gonna die replaced by someone known as Roscoe G. Steve Oh love if you need me just call and I'll be there Winwood, of course, still handles vocals, keyboards, There is no sorrow that both of us can't share." and guitar, with Chris Wood on sax and flute. Jim I doubt that When the Eagle Flies will receive Capaldi, co-author of most of Traffic's material, has the airplay it deserves, for the best cuts are the resumed his position as drummer, after a three-year lengthiest, and Buffalo no longer has any true stint as stoned singer/percussionist for the group. progressive FM rock stations. Also, Traffic's, Fortunately, Capaldi does not attempt any lead following, always cult-like, has probably decreased in vocals on this album, and his fiery drumming brings years, to inconsistency of — / past due the their recent work.

If you are tired of glitter and a few of the cuts include mellotron and rock, reggae, and songs about the Rocky Mountains, back memories of Traffic's earlier work. synthesizer work. However, Winwood does not over give it a chance. You'll like it. SI;; Michael d'Abo Broken Rainbows (A&M Records) keyboard-dominated number which rounds out the —John Duncan STEAKS The New (Sat. & Sun.) As a pianist and writer, Michael d'Abo shows promise, but nothing more, in his debut solo album, Broken Rainbows. The songs, which he wrote and performed himself, are soft, mellow piano tunes. They are melodic enough but lack substance and are much too tame to listen to for any length of time without losing interest. The basic fault in the music is that he did not seem to change his beat throughout the entire album. No change of pace in any album, especially a mellow one, gives the impression that the performer lacks versatility. The style of music in Broken Rainbows is light piano with a folk-country background. Perhaps a better picture of the general style can be gotten by looking at those who helped in the making of the album. The most notably utilized talents are those of Graham Nash (harmonica and rhythm guitar) and Mike Bloomfield on electric guitar. Both of these artists plus some of the members of the "Stray Gators" (they backed up Neil Young on a couple of songs on his Harvest album) and Elliot Mazer who both performed on and produced Broken Rainbows and Harvest round out the back ups. Guitar and piano is currently one of the most popular combinations in music and d'Abo has a great talent to effectively use the strong points in both instruments. Unfortunately for him, that is where he stops. Many other artists who use the guitar and piano combination also add to the background music without changing their style by putting in touches of orchestration to give this type of music a deeper and richer sound without detracting from its basic folksiness. The lyrics to the songs also become monotonous. They all deal with the same theme. d'Abo seems to be introducing and explaining himself, on the first side at least, too often. He first does this on an obviously introductory song titled "This is Me": "This is me this is my music Here I am to introduce it to you now my friends" He also explains himself on the title song, "Broken Rainbows" "Seems like ages since I've lived with pain and strife was chasing those broken rainbows And now the strain shows was traveling the wrong road." The reason many people like to listen to folk, blues, and even rock is that they identify with the message of the song. Michael d'Abo detracts from that concept in his music, identifying it too closely with himself instead of allowing it to be universal. This was unfortunate, because he really shows a great talent for lyric writing in some of his other songs. The vocals also had their good and bad sides. At least the lyrics came through loud and clear. d'Abo's enunciation of the words was a welcome relief to those of us who like to listen to the words. His vocal weak point is his limited range. His voice has a good quality to it, but a great vocalist, of course, has greater command of the scale than a few — / / preferred notes. Although Michael d'Abo is not a big name artist, he is not totally unknown as a singer or as a writer. It was he who rocked out "King Herod's Song" in the original studio version of Jesus Christ Superstar. He also wrote the Rod Stewart hit "Handbags and Gladrags" and performs it, his own way, on Broken Rainbows. As a whole the album was fair, but it seemed to promise more than it delivered. -David Rivet HKr Wvl^. 511 Main Street ••Stf; iff •••I $1.59 WPhD and Harvey & Corky Present lci<k/on Browne Bonnie Itoill odober 14,8pm All Seats reserved $6.50 and $5.50 Tickets available at U.B Norton Hall Ticket Office and all Purchase Radio Stores — Page sixteen The Spectrum Friday, 4 October 1974 . . * * * * Tender cut of flavorful Choice Steak Baked Potato Crisp Green Salad Roll with Butter CLASS Sunday: CharfI sHouse teak 3417 Sh'ridin Drive Jt Sweet Heme Raed, Amherst Come m roii ere Never any tipping — 2680 Main St. corner Amherst ?

I’m referring to those high school students who will graduate next June with the required number of academic credits. For them, the days of lollipops and rainbows are running out. Reality is a step college behind and the facts will come hard ain't no pajama party. — Day care a privilege To the Editor. In the Sept. 27 issue of The Spectrum the coverage of the Day Care Center issue in general and the editorial on the same subject exemplified a current mode of thought which is rather disturbing, namely the fact that too often a service which is in essence a privilege is labeled a right. In this case, we are told all about the fact that the rights of parents are being infringed upon if the Day Care Center goes out of business. Let me quickly state that 1 am not opposed to the principle of day care, and it may very well be that this facility should have a higher priority than that familiar target, the athletic program. Nevertheless, the Day Care Center (and intercollegiate athletics, for that matter) is still a privilege and not a right, and one only confuses and misdirects when one mistakes the two. In conclusion, might one suggest that forcing a childless person, through the fee structure, to subsidize the supervision of the children of those who chose (presumably freely in this age of planned parenthood) to have a child and are among the very few who can be accommodated by the Day Care Center may well constitute the violation of a right. , Benedikt M. Kellner But laugh and drink all the Boones Farm you can lay your lips on, because, dear high schoolies, your assimilation into the college has already begun. You hard-line college vets remember that October usually meant application time. (Early admissions were most often applied for in September by that jerk in your class who was so sure he could get into Cornell that he didn't bother applying anywhere else.) If your high school was screwed-up, you were almost certainly forced to see a guidance counselor. Most people went to screwed-up high schools. Pardon my ignorance, but what does it take to become a guidance counselor? How many colleges did your guidance counselor enroll in when he was a student? How did your guidance counselor know about colleges anyway? Did he consult the Barron’s College Catalogue? Melvin Guttman. Name ring a bell? Mel was the junior-senior guidance counselor at Pleasantville High School during my Wonder Bread years. Rumor had it that he spent the first part of his working life as a crossguard at the nearby middle school. Somebody apparently went a little crazy in the head one day and promoted him. Old Mel really couldn’t make the transition of helping kids across the street into college. His counterpart was no better. Mrs. Hogue was the girls phys-ed teacher for twenty-five years before the Board of Education gave her a license to maul the ego of freshman and sophomores. Kids would walk away believing in nothing but calesthenics after a session with Mrs. Hogue. She scheduled classes like a baseball line-up; your best course was set for mid-day, and your weakest subject came last. The only way I maintained my confidence back then was to avoid Mrs. Hogue like the bubonic plague. Whenever she arranged an afternoon conference for me, I told her I had to run home and watch a television program for English class. At best, that line is designed to work twice, but I successfully used it seven or eight “Don’t you want to live up to your potential,” she asked relentlessly. “Is that anything like puberty?” She hated me. Still, Mrs. Hogue was admired some for 1) her vocal ability at pep rallies and by 2) her proficiency at arm wrestling she never limes. Do something — To the Editor have been letters of support in The a few people handing out leaflets in Norton, some people picketing in front of Hayes, and in general a lot of the University community just talking, all in support of the UB Day Care Center. There should have never been the crisis that is now occurring at the Center, the fault being the administration’s, the state’s and the Federal government’s, for not putting up the proper amount of money for day care, something that should be a free right of every citizen. But the only way to change that is to hobby in the government to change the laws, and to voice your support in the places it will do the most good, with letters to President Ketter, and to all government legislators who are important in the fight for free day care. The only problem that leaves is that right now UB Day Care Center is going to close because of lack of funds and staff. Volunteers are needed to fill the spots during the week where the staff is short of help. It’s fine for students and everyone else to talk about how bad it it, but why don’t they try to actually help. Go down to the Center and volunteer some time. Don’t talk, do something. lost to anyone. I tried to totally ignore Mel Guttman my junior year, but at the advice of my parents, I conceded to seek guidance from the old hoot. His office was great. You could be assured of knocking over at least one of the 35 half-filled jars of Coffee Mate that were strewn about all within reach of his secretary Mrs. Devitt (affectionately called Mrs. Derelict). The office shleves contained maybe 70 college bulletins, some dating back to the late ’50’s. My high school never lost its taste for nostalgia. Mr. Guttmaa’s schedule was always tight; a confirmed coffee addict, he spoke only between caffeine attacks. The day I talked to him, Mr. Guttman showed his tip-top speeding condition. He immediately put me on the defensive. “Pleased to meet ya, John.” “That’s Charles, Mr. Guttman. John is my brother.” “Oh yeah. Smart boy, your brother. What can I do for you, John?” “I’m hoping you can get me rejected at every college I apply to.” “Ha ha. Smart boy. Let me take a look at your grades. Oh, oh, not good enough for the state schools. Still ...” He left me hanging but I knew his mind was made up. Mel Guttman always got you into college. His philosophy ran something along the lines of “everybody in this goddamn high school goes to college!” I don’t believe he comprehended the idea of professional schools. Just the schools that financed his weekend trips to and from Ohio. “Well, here’s a list of ten schoo's in Ohio that someone with your grades can get to.” “I don’t want to go out to Ohio, Mr. Guttman.” “Well,” and he pulled a list from beneath a police whistle, “here’s a list of ten schools in the East.” I quickly glanced at the names. There were only three that looked familiar and one I actually liked. “These three are okay, I guess.’ “Fine, write them for applications and we’ll see what happens.” “And then what?” “And then we’ll see what happens.” What happened was I saw Mr. Guttman once following that fateful meeting in a supermarket. Stocking up on Maxwell House, no — doubt. “John, long time, no see.” “Yeah, same here Mr. Guttman. I got into my first choice school by the way.” “Fine, that’s wonderful. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it there. Say ‘hi’ to Bob Keating for me. He works in the bursar’s office.” It didn’t hit me until much later that 1 never told him the name of the school. There Spectrum , Reid Lachman Day Care Coordinator, CAC Students low priority To the Editor. A few weeks ago this University announced that there would be open parking for the first three weeks in September to give students and staff sufficient time to obtain their parking stickers. Unfortunately, this “thoughtful” action was not as considerate as it seemed to be. .Upon traveling around campus in search of a parking spot, I happened to notice that all the wooden barriers on the faculty parking lots were still functioning, making it impossible to enter the lots unless one was in possession of a key. That part of the University Administration that possessed the genius to devise such an “open parking” plan must think very little of the intelligence of the University community. Other pearls of wisdom promugated by the wizards of UB include giving parking tickets to cars parked illegally. While at first this migh seem to be perfectly reasonable, it is the Administration who should pay the fines. After all, what is a student 'supposed to do when he gets to school and there are no parking spots? Go home?????? Will members of the Administration then take our tests, and get our grades for us? 1 damn well doubt it. Students are again suffering for the poor planning of University and State officials. But I guess this should be expected from a University that puts students last on its list of priorities. Friday, 4 October 1974 . The Spectrum Name withheld upon request . Page seventeen �fig •Cee? MouJ Fo«y A / 7^*1 Environmentalists concerned over nuclear waste products by Fran McKee Staff Writer Spectrum Last winter’s energy crisis has brought demands from both the private and the public sectors for the increased use of nuclear energy. The problem of dealing with nuclear waste products was the subject of an informal discussion sponsored Tuesday evening by Rachel Carson College. Environmentalists are becoming increasingly alarmed that little is being done to counteract the harmful effects of this radioactive refuse. Dr. Resnikoff is working with others to pressure nuclear power plants and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) to fight against this nuclear menace. Uranium, once it is employed in a reactor, is stored in a repository in Fernald, Ohio, under the control of the AEC. Dr. Resnikoff questioned the agency’s efforts to recycle this discarded uranium, however. “I think it’s a giant cover-up,” he said, explaining that there is in reality no available means of recycling uranium at this time. Cattaraugus pollution Dr. Resnikoff, who serves as chairman of the Sierra Club’s Energy Task Force Committee, also expressed concern over the use of the Cattaraugus Creek, near Springfield, by the Nuclear Fuel Service (NFS).

While the Fuel Reprocessing Plant is closed temporarily, its re-licensing would increase the flow of low level nuclear waste products, and ultimately place the Cattaraugus Creek well over the allowed Maximum Permissible Concentration of nuclear pollution. Dr. Resnikoff said he would oppose this re-licensing “at any cost.” Dr. Marvin Biological damage Patricia Howell, an administrator in Rachel Carson College, discussed the potentially dangerous biological effect of nuclear refuse. “The major risks,” she said, “are genetic and somatic.” Radiation is responsible for damage not only to the reproductive cells, but on the somatic level, there is “massive evidence” pointing to radiation as a producer of cancerous cells, specifically lukemia, Ms. Howell said. A showdown is scheduled for Oct. 10 between members of the NFS and the AEC at the Erie County Public Library. Mr. Resnikoff predicted that this hearing would be “a knockdown, dragout affair.” He encouraged students to demonstrate their support of a clean and safe environment by participating at this hearing. Resnikoff Nuclear pollution results from the utilization of Uranium 235 and 238 in the production of heat and electricity. According to Marvin Resnikoff, environmentalist and former professor of physics at the State University at Buffalo, the problem is that the 55 nuclear plants in the United States must eliminate or convert the resulting nuclear by-product into relatively harmless substances. • ••• COLORFUL DECORATIVE UNIQUE Nature Mother An And We with • • • • • Passport/Application Photos • • UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Tues., Wed., Thurs.: 10 a.m.—5 p.m.» 3 photos for (3 ($.50 per additional) J • Has Provided Ua of Her Beauty . . to You.

The seminar also serves to enhance the experiences of the interns. not That oft used cliche, “You can’t fight city hall” has been given a positive interpretation by the Political Science Department through a new course, Community Internship. The course is described by instructor Allan Balutis as a very worthwhile learning experience, as well as a change from the traditional textbook courses covering American government. Students are assigned to a local legislator, or to one of the various public service organizations in the Buffalo area. During their assignment, interns are involved in actual policy research, the drafting of legislation, and other similar activities. The intern is required to engage in these activities for 12 to 15 hours per week, as well as attending a weekly 90-minute seminar in which the various governmental processes are analyzed. A final paper tying the intern’s experiences to a theme in government or political science is also required. by Ron Hendren Special to the Spectrum WASHINGTON The Forked-Tongue-of-the-Week Award goes to one of the most vociferous opponents of air fare discounts for youths, the elderly and the handicapped Civil Aeronautics Board Chairman Robert D. Timm. Timm and his wife, it was learned last week, accepted favors from five large airlines on a recent four-week junket to Europe, and also took a three-day Bermuda vacation courtesy of United Aircraft — - Corporation Apparently, Timm feels it is perfectly acceptable for high-salaried federal officials to accept favors, but that filling half-empty jumbo jets by permitting young people and others to fly at reduced rates is, in his words, “discriminatory.” No comment I say “apparently” because Timm, whose government salary is $40,000, had no comment when I called his office to discuss these latest charges by House Commerce Committee Chairman Harley O. Staggers (D., W.Va.). Of course, any way you cut it, it’s wrong for government officials to accept gifts from the very industries they regulate. But it takes remarkable gall to accept those gifts, and in the same breath tell the young and the old, most of whom cannot afford to fly at full fare, that they shouldn’t benefit from discount rates. In the first place, a majority of the Senate has already approved discount fare legislation, and more than 170 House members have introduced similar bills (all of which are currently bogged down in the Subcommittee on Transportation and Aeronautics). The reasons for this groundswell of support are many, but among the most persuasive is that it simply doesn’t make sense in this time of energy shortages to permit jumbo jets to traverse the continent half empty not when the reinstitution of discount fares could fill them, saving automobile gasoline on the ground and putting more money into the airlines’ pockets at the same time. (And to hear the carriers tell it, they need the cash. Just last week Pan American World Airways asked the government for a $ 10-million-a-month subsidy to help that company avoid bankruptcy.) ‘A difference Mr. Balutis feels that the program benefits the local agencies and officials involved as well as the interns; In fact, one intern, assigned to the Erie County Consumer Protection Committee, said that the program might be extended to other departments, including management. The possibility of University resources going into the community, in the form of interns, is one of great promise to the area. Need Because of their limited budgets and the need for office help, most legislators and agencies were very receptive to the internship program. For example, the Erie County Consumer Protection Committee, except for its director, is staffed entirely by interns. Despite the need for office help, every effort is made to insure that regular office work does ) - One student, assigned to State Senator James Magavem, commented that he has learned more in three weeks working in the legislator’s office than he did in any previous class.

The Spectrum . Page nineteen �'—■Coupon worth UUAB Coffeehouse 50<tfor students with I.D EXPANDED ANNIS’ AUTHENTIC GREEK CUISINE - One doesn’t have to travel so far to hear goodfolk music (Saturday and Sunday) in the Fillmore Room. Performers will include Rosalie Sorrells, Utah Phillips, Michael Cooney, the Friends of Fiddler’s Green.nd the British duo of Jacqui and Bridey. The Coffeehouse is hoping to be able to hold open sings before each concert, to allow local musicians an opportunity to perform, meet other local musicians, and swap songs and ideas. Workshops in folk instruments (especially banjo, fiddle, dulcimer, autoharp, and the like, for which instruction is difficult to find in the area) are also a possibility. “Before I found out there was a coffeehouse here, I was resigned to having to travel to Toronto, Philadelphia or some such place to hear some good folk music. The fact is that no one except the Coffeehouse is bringing good, well-known folk talent to Buffalo. People here do want to see the kind of music we’re providing; that’s why we’re bringing it to them.” So says Judy Costanza, co-chairperson (with Rebecca Kutlin) of the UUAB Coffeehouse Committee. Her assessment of the Coffeehouse as the ‘only game in town’ for lovers of folk music is, sadlv, very true. Except for occasional events at Buffalo State, the likes of Utah Phillips, Elizabeth Cotton, and John Roberts and Tony Barrand are seen in Buffalo only at UUAB Coffeehouse concerts. Upcoming schedule UUAB Coffeehouses are held, we repeat, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings in Norton Union, either in the Rathskeller, as this week, or in Cafeteria 119. This week, guitarist/singer Bill Staines and songwriter Mary McCaslin are featured. Coffeehouse scheduled for October can be obtained at any Coffeehouse, or the UUAB Office in Room 261 Norton. Among the October performers will be Tracy and Eloise Schwartz, Tony Barrand and John Roberts, and bluegrassers Bob Doyle and the Buffalo Chip Kickers. Schedule change This fall the Coffeehouse performance schedule was changed from Friday and Saturday nights to Wednesday and Thursday nights. Ms. Constanza explained the main reasons for the switch: “First of all, MFC students (Millard Fillmore College, the night school division) were complaining that there’s nothing to do on campus on weeknights. It was felt that since the Coffeehouse is already established, it could survive the shift without losing its audience. There was also the question of competition from, and with, the Pub, which operates on weekends.” Future plans for the Coffeehouse include a “Mini-folk festival” scheduled for Nov. 16 and 17 Admission to all Coffeehouses is S.75 for students, $1.00 for faculty and staff, and $1.25 for the general public. Beer, wine, cheese and crackers, and (yes) coffee are available for purchase. Come on down next Wednesday and grab yourself a hunk of the good times.

JWGO GREYHOUND ...and leave the driving to us* �Pure excitement Championship ofracing world at Watkins Glen Editor’s note: The author of this piece, The Spectrum’s auto racing expert Steve Serafin, will he racing at Watkins Glen himself this year. Steve will take part in a promotional race for Volkswagen of America. Several journalists will be provided with VWs and a mere 32 ounces (one quart) of gasoline. The object is to see who can drive the farthest distance on such a small quantity of fuel. Serafin is being sponsored by Jim Kelly’s Volkswagen of Buffalo, whose sales manager Fred Stock was quoted as saying, “Steve better win the thing. ” The wildest Grand Prix season in the 25-year history of the World Championship series comes to a climax this weekend at Watkins Glen of New York at the Grand Prix of the United States. More than 30 of the world’s finest drivers in more than 15 different makes of cars will vie for the 25 spots on Sunday’s starting grid. Three of the drivers will decide the World Drivers’ the Championship among themselves first time the world title has ever come down to the last race of the season. If you’re among the 100,000 spectators expected to be on hand for this, the richest road race ever, you’ll be part of the hush that falls over the track as the moment of the start draws near. You’ll hear the incredibly deafening blast of 25 Formula 1 engines being strained to the limit long before you see the brilliantly colored pack come snaking around the course like a long, vibrating, 10,000 horsepower whip. It’ll take you awhile to be able to pick - out the cars’ numbers as they rise out of the S-curves in the distance. They seem to creep toward you, and then suddenly flash by in a blur of color and an ear-piercing scream that seems to go on forever. Then the whole group of them is by, diving into “The Loop” amid a clamor of gear changes that echo off the surrounding hillsides. Silence for a while the last silence you’ll It’s quiet again hear for the next two hours as the cars spread themselves over the length of the course. Then you’ll notice the smell of them as you hear the announcer calling out the leaders over the public address system. The scent of Castrol and of hot rubber, mix over the track and linger. (You’ll catch whiffs of that same smell here and there around Buffalo and, for an instant, you’ll be back at the Grand Prix with the partying and the fun and the cars.) They’re on the second lap and names like Emerson Fittipaldi, Clay Regazzoni and Jody Scheckter will be in with the leaders. Watch these three. Fittipaldi and Regazzoni, with 52 points each, are tied for first place in the Drivers’ Championship standings. Scheckter is third with 45, but not at all out of the running for the world title. A win here would give him over $50,000 and 9 points to put him ahead of both the leaders if neither of them scores more than one point. (The first six finishers are awarded 9, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 points respectively.) But either Emerson or “Regga” merely has to beat the other and finish in the top five to clinch the title. — — Clay Reggazoni (No. 11) and Jody Scheckter (No. 3), shown here racing at Mosport two weeks ago, are threats to win the U.S. Grand Prix this weekend at Watkins Glen. Along with Mosport winner Emerson Fittipaldi, this pair is in the running for the world championship. None of the three will be doing any — Ocic} Ferrari vs. Ford Look for the red Ferrari of Niki Lauda to be on the pole, alongside teammate Regazzoni.

Within my field, the wide world of sports, sexism has been particularly strong. Societal conceptions and misconceptions of what women should do with their lives have broken down much faster than traditional assumptions about the use of their bodies. It is no coincidence that the fight for increased athletic opportunities for women lagged far behind the rest of the women’s liberation movement. In fact women’s lib was almost passe by the time its athletic extension became popular. The debacle over an issue like “equal pay for equal work” was far less emotional than the spirited debates over whether or not little girls should play little league baseball. However the athletic issue finally came out, and while it is hard to put an exact date on such things, it seems that the spring and summer of 1973 was the turning point. Within months, congressional legislation (Title 9) guaranteeing equity in athletic funding put the campaign on firm legal ground. All over the country women are demanding their rights on the playing fields and in the gymnasiums of America. About two weeks ago, as some of you may recall, we ran an election to determine Buffalo’s top athlete of the year. I had my reasons for excluding women; lack of publicity in the past, which we hope to rectify, my own ignorance concerning who were the top women athletes last year and so on. Perhaps I was wrong, I don’t know, but I certainly could have predicted the result. The day Jim Young’s picture and the story proclaiming him athlete of the year hit the campus, two young women dropped by my office. One of them, Charlene O’Neil, I knew to be a member of the women’s basketball team and a strong advocate of women’s rights. The duo claimed to be offended at the story, due to the fact that no women were mentioned or even considered. I showed them the list of nominations that I circulated to the electors and there were no women on it. I tried to explain why women had been ignored, emphasizing a lack of publicity, and that I cannot change this retroactively, though we are covering the women’s teams this year. 1 explained to them that there would be a female athlete of the year selected in the spring of 1975. But their basic point was well taken. 1 had slighted women and 1 had misrepresented the story by not labeling the award male athlete of the year. They demanded restitution, and in that classical non-committal manner I’ve become famous for, I told them I’d see what I could do. In a few days I approached Cindy Anderson, newly appointed coordinator of Women’s Athletics, to draw up a list of nominations since I felt profoundly unqualified to do so myself. As it turned out, she was unable to do so. As 1 learned in a meeting with, the women’s coaching staff a few days ago, the coaches themselves are ignorant to the basic trends of each other’s programs. Such was the state of publicity oh women’s sports last year. This and some personnel changes made them uncomfortable about trying to make a selection. If the balloting had been held, the winner might have been Denise Larusch, a setter and defense specialist on the volleyball team as well as playmaking guard in basketball. Few of you would recognize Denise’s picture if we ran it. Perhaps her teammate, 6’1” center Anne Trapper, would have beat her out. Anne dominated play in many games leading the team in scoring and rebounding. Honestly now, how many of you knew that? Other accomplishments like Eileen McCrossan’s third place finish in the state bowling tournament or Kathy Pericak’s third place in Eastern Collegiate golf went equally unnoticed. Joanne Wroblewski, volleyball and tennis star, is not exactly well known either. Incidentally, Trapper and Wrobelwski are still with us. The only difference is that this year, you’ll know it.

The Bulls are now 1-2 for the year. “I thought the first ball game was good,” reflected assistant coach Bert Jacobsen, “but I didn’t think anything of the second game. We played two different games in the two halves.” The Bulls started sluggish, and Brockport jumped on the slow start for an early 2-0 lead. With the addition of forwards Jude Ndenge and Emmanuel Kulu, apparently under a misconception about the starting time (one hour earlier than the usual 4 p.m. starting time), the Bulls began to attack more aggressively. Young’s goals A pair of Jim Young goals, his third and fourth of the season, brought the Bulls even, despite a 15-4 deficit on the shooting ledger in the first half. The second half was all Brockporf’s. “I think we played poorly today,” assessed head coach Sal Esposito. “The second half was particularly disastrous. Anytime your line collapses and you have ten men on defense, you just can’t move the ball. We’d clear the ball out to mid-field, and they’d send it right back. There was just no one to send it to.” The Bulls started the second half strong, outshooting the Eagles 7-2, before senior halfback Alex Torimiro was ejected for fighting with less than two minutes gone in the half. At that point the Bulls fell into a defensive shell, crippling their offensive attack. “Not only the halfbacks were falling back,” observed Esposito, “but the linemen were as well. trunk $18, bookcase 6 15. 874-6628.

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

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

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

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

Last week, 1000 hot, crowded, and wildly enthusiastic people gladly suffered the conditions of the Fillmore Room to witness the return of a hero. At the age of 77, looking frail and tired but retaining his wonderful comic energy, Moe Howard temporarily obliterated the world outside the closed doors, setting the air on fire with that Three Stooges spark of vitality, elicited an exuberant response from his listeners. They were so attuned to Moe and what he represented that there was a constant, mutual exchange of emotional i energy from the podium to the floor.

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

Organized in the U.S. by members of the Venceremous Brigade, this was the first delegation of student journalists to visit Cuba since the 1959 Revolution. This is the third in a series articles about his experiences in Cuba. of by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor Agriculture has always been the mainstay of the Cuban economy, and still plays an important role today. Before the revolution, most of the fertile land was owned by a small group of Cuban landowners and U.S. companies. A significant number of families owned small plots of land of 10 hectares (one hectare 2.4 acres) or less, and earned on the average only $37.54 a month, according to government figures. In contrast, the large plantation owners had an average monthly income of over = $3300. Many peasants didn’t own any land and worked on the plantations, averaging perhaps $15 a month. Sharecroppers, tenant farmers and squatters (who were subjected to a kind of serfdom), worked long hours and paid high rents to the landowner with inadequate housing and little or no education or medical care, the life of the peasants was one of constant misery. While a small class of wealthy Cubans owned much of the land, a great portion of the best land was owned by American companies, such as the Cuban Atlantic Sugar Company, the American Refining Company and the United Fruit Company. Land reform During the Revolutionary War in October of 1958, the Rebel army passed a law on land reforms in the liberated territories of the Sierra Meastra, which gave the land to those who worked on it. Enrique, a guide for our tour, said his family lived near the foot of the mountains, and gave food and shelter to the guerrillas, “as most everyone did.” After the triumph of the Revolution, the first nation-wide law on agrarian reform was passed. The new government formed the National Institute of Agrarian Reform, giving sharecroppers, tenant farmers and squatters sugar cane, Cuba’s main export crop, and 80% of the beef, pork and poultry. In 1960 the small farmers and collective farmers formed the National Association of Small Farmers to increase wages, improve working conditions, help plan Cuba’s food production, and assist in planning the building of hospitals, schools and new housing in the rural areas. We visited a post-revolution workers resort in Soroa, Pinar del Rio, and spoke to an agricultural worker who was swimming with his family. We asked him about his life, both before and after the revolution. He said he was a peasant before the revolution, and “worked about four months in the sugar-cane harvest.” The hours were long, the pay was low, and he “was unemployed the rest of the year,” he explained. Surplus food The peasants used to grow sweet potatoes in the ditch between the owner’s land and the alongside the • road road so they could eat until the next sugar-cane harvest. Sweet potatoes grow quickly, so they provide a more-or-less steady diet. But often, he said, “we went hungry.” This man now works year round on a farm, eight hours a day, at much higher pay, and says he is naturally a “strong supporter of the revolution.” He has since gone to school, and learned to read. “The children now have a future,” he said. Beaming with smiles and shaking our hands, he said, “Tell the American people the truth about Cuba.” In Oriente Province, we visited a large vegetable farm and canning plant, in a rural area that is being developed into a living community, with schools, medical clinics and cultural centers. Traveling around the island, we saw sugar cane fields, hemp fields, cattle ranches and workers harvesting bananas. With the increasing industrialization of Cuba, however, some people are moving to the urban centers to work in industrial enterprises. — — Peasant women During some free time one afternoon in Havana, we talked with a young woman who came from a peasant family in Orienle. Before the revolution, her family “was very poor,” she said. "At 15, 1 had only a 4th grade education." Now she was working in Havana as a typist, and has Cuban construction workers building new apartments, stop to pose for a photograph. The man at the right, wears the symbol of the Tupamaros a guerrilla organization in on his hard hat. Uruguay — — such as these exist in almost every phase of industrial production Struggle for reforms ■■ Because of the low wages and poor working conditions of the Cuban workers before the revolution, Cuban history is filled with powerful strikes and demonstrations in the struggle for reforms. A significant number of workers were organized into unions, and Cuba experienced nation-wide strikes several times in an effort to better the working conditions. This high level of organization and class-consciousness, we were told, is credited to the efforts of the Cuban Communist party, which frequently worked illegally. After the revolution, the most urgent demands of the workers were implemented immediately, and laws were written to guarantee certain rights for working people. Among these is the right to accept or reject a job; the right to organize unions and participate directly in resolving labor disputes, and the right to an increasing role in the planning and execution of the economy. In addition, workers receive free job training, a one-month vacation per year, and social security benefits. Cuba’s industrial unions are all united in the Central Union of Cuban Workers (CTC), which, we were told, is a very powerful organization in Cuba. We visited Havana’s shipping and fishing port, a machine shop, and a number of construction projects, and spoke to the workers on each of these jobs. - * Soviet equipment In the machine shop, we saw a variety of machines from the Soviet Union. Practically all workers have joined trade unions, a black welder told us, because the unions have effectively worked on behalf of the workers. The Union’s Committee of Protection, for example, has made surC that all welders have face shields and protective clothing. This committee also checks on the safety of the tools, equipment, parts and work area, and has the authority to demand repairs before the workers go on the job. “How do you feel about the revolution,” we asked? “Well, of course I strongly support it,” he answered. The revolution is a process we have more rights now and more opportunity to develop our potential. Our work is now done collectively, and since there are jobs for everyone in society, we don’t have to compete with one another for work,” he explained. “We have improving conditions, so we have a desire to work for the revolution. We feel that we have a purpose and direction in our lives.” — Agricultural workers take their mid-afternoon break during Cuba's banana harvest. throughout the island the land they worked on, and turning the large plantations into collective farms. While only the largest plantations (over 400 hectares) and the foreign-owned lands were nationalized, many medium-sized private landowners sabatoged production and revolted against the government. The second agrarian reform law was passed on October 3, 1963, which limited the size of privately owned land to 67.1 hectares (roughly 160 acres), and the state-owned land became the decisive sector, in a 57.9% to 42.1% ratio. Bulwark of the revolution According to the government, the small farmers “constitute the bulwark of the revolution in rural areas,” producing 46% of the grain, 70% of the fruit and vegetables, and 80% of the coffee, tobacco and cocoa. The state-owned sector produces 70% to 76% of the gone to school “to study chemicals,” she explained. “Do the Cuban people support socialism,” we asked? “Of course,” she answered. “We have seen how it has made our life better.” Before the revolution, Cuba’s industrial sector was not highly developed, and much of what existed, was controlled by U.S. firms. After the revolution, industrialization increased when large private companies and foreign-owned firms were nationalized. From 1954-58, Cuba’s textile industry processed 40,000 metric tons of raw cotton, all of which was imported. In 1961-65, 70,000 metric tons were processed, according to government statistics, while 17,000 metric tons of raw cotton were home grown. In the cement industry, less than 3 million metric tons were produced in the first period, and over 4 million metric tons were produced in the second period. Increases Equal rights “Have you ever felt any racial discrimination,” we inquired further? “No,” he replied. “As you can see, black people have the same rights and receive the same treatment as anyone else.” Everywhere we went, black people and light-skinned people of Spanish descent were working, socializing and studying together. Both light and dark skinned people held jobs as industrial workers, dish-washers and administrators. As we were leaving the machine shop, the supervisor pointed out some other safety devices used in the plant. “The workers’ life is more important than the product,” he said. “Here, under socialism, products are not produced for the private profit of a few individuals, so we can take the time and money to keep our work places safe.” “After all,” he added, “if the worker is not well, he will be a less productive member of society.” Wednesday, 2 October 1974 The Spectrum .

A highly valuable person. consider mass transit a realistic alternative because of the numerous to trucking and automobile interests who habitually lobby for the Highway Trust Fund. Yet the fact remains that we will become even more dependent on the world oil market if we do not start using less. The development of mass transit could go hand in hand with a moratorium on the construction of public parking facilities and an increase in the price of highway tolls and gasoline. Most people shudder at the prospect of another price hike and the thought of losing the convenience of an automobile, but a new special tax on gas would almost certainly be enough of an economic hardship on most people to make car use less frequent. The revenues generated from such a tax could be used for new job programs, tax refunds and federal oil stamps for people in the lower income brackets, as several legislators have wisely proposed. This reduction in the use of automobiles will have to be accompanied by other measures as well, if the U.S. is to be weaned from the foreign oil market. Congress should give strong consideration to legislation that would provide tax incentives to companies that construct buildings which can be heated by solar energy, and should similarly encourage the use of natural substances in place of "oil-based" materials. Perhaps even more important than these practical steps is the government’s acknowledgement that there is a most severe energy crisis. It is pointless to improve people's morale by denying the gravity of a problem as Mr. Nixon did earlier this year when he told the American public that the energy crisis had ended. The energy shortage should be confronted, not evaded, if we are to find some way of surmounting it. And most importantly, we all must realize that the inexhaustible supply of conveniences that we are accustomed to could be shut off without warning if people are not willing to sacrifice their “forgot” to throw away items with such impact, or that they did not have such impact before, or that they were kept around Just to make me angry. There may be some reality to the anger part. In my craziness if may be necessary to give myself a booster shot, to increase the number of available antibodies for defensive purposes around specific old wounds. To this there is very probably some reality. But not enough. I have lived in, and observed, my own head long enough to know that 1 do not save things for only negative reasons. I save them because there arc two parts to such mementos, and the other is the harder to touch. Indeed, this is hard to prove since these are the much harder feelings for me to touch, f ortunately for the world not everyone seems to find the negative, defensive stuff overlaying the more vulnerable material But in the course of living with your own vulnerability, you survive however you can. You fall in love for yourself, and the other person owes you nothing for doing it. They have their own hassles to deal with. What makes the world a much more pleasant place to live is when the object of such feelings doesn’t have to charge you for them, as it feels to me sometimes occurs. 1 have such feelings where 1 have them, and so be it Bui what has caused the greatest amount of scar tissue is when those feelings get used for leverage. Bui. 1 think enough. Let us close that silly folder ami go watch lets make a deal, or strikes, spares, and misses, or something else which proves lhal it is not only the inside of my head which is weird.

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

Dr. Bartomeu Melia by Diane R. Miller Spectrum Staff Writer Professor at the Catholic University of Asuncion, Paraguay The month of October brings Sukkoth Simchath Torah. Sukkoth, or the “festival of huts” is celebrated for seven days, from Oct. 1-7. This holiday serves /-as a reminder to Jews of their exodus from Egypt and a festival of thanksgiving. According to tradition, Jews must begin building the sukkah, which is a temporary hut or abode, immediately after Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement, This tradition, which is written in the Torah, indicates a basic optimism in the Jewish religion, according to Rabbi Justin Hofmann, director of Hillel at the State University at Buffalo. During Sukkoth, Jews hope that the decision reaches on Yom Kippur by God was a favorable one and that the following year will be one of life. The Succoth hut is constructed of 4 walls of any suitable material, usually plywood. Most important is the ceiling, which must be constructed from plant life, leaves or branches. These leaves and branches are placed in such a way that the stars can be viewed at night. Jews who observe Sukkoth eat all their meals in the sukkah for seven days, and in warmer climates, sleeping in the sukkah is common. According to the Biblical account, Jews lived in these during their temporary huts journey through the desert after being freed from Egyptian twpxTewish holidays entitled "La Situacion Socio-linguistica del Paraguay" Wednesday, October 2nd at 4:00 p.m in the new Linguistics Department Lounge Cl01 Spaulding Quad.

Although the exodus occurred in the spring, Sukkoth is celebrated in the fall to show that the reason for moving into the sukkah is a religious one, and not for comfort. In the United States, Sukkoth serves as a reminder to be thankful for protection from the elements of nature. Sitting in the makeshift temporary hut and feeling the rain and wind brings realization of the discomforts nature can bring, according to Rabbi Hofmann. Dual purpose Sukkoth comes at the time of year when harvest is concluded. “This describes the festival’s second purpose to express gratitude for the blessings of the earth,” Rabbi Hofmann explained. This aspect of the celebration is symbolized by collecting a lulav (a palm branch), an ethrot (a citrus fruit that looks like a lemon), three branches of myrtle, and two branches of the willow of the brook. These items are taken together and offered symbolically to God as an act of thanksgiving for the past year. According to some interpretations, this offering is a prayer for the blessing of produce in the future. Thus Sukkoth ties together the past and future in an act of thanksgiving for the past, and prayer for the future, Rabbi Hofmann explained. Still another interpretation is common among those who believe that each of the four symbols represents a group in the —” IN STOCK community: either scholars, pious Jews, those who are both scholarly and pious, and those who are neither. The lesson of the four symbols is that each group has a place in the community and a contribution to make to the community’s well-being. There are no exceptions, Rabbi Hofmann explained. Simchath Torah On the second Jewish holiday in October, Simchath Torah, Jews rejoice over the Torah. There is an annual reading of the Torah which is completed on the second day of this holiday with the last passage in Deuteronomy. A new cycle is then begun with the reading of Genesis. The occasion is one of happiness and celebration, and there is singing and dancing and expression of joy over the Torah. Jews show their love for these principles by celebrating two important holidays. Many believe that living according to the guidelines in the Torah contribute to improving life and making it a more worthwhile experience. Rabbi Hofmann explained that even though the Torah is demanding, one is better off living with Torah than without it. Jews realize that through these demands they can transform their lives into something more morally and spiritually fulfilling. For those who would like to see a Sukkah, Rabbi Hofmann invites you to view the one built Sunday on the Hillel grounds at 40 Capen Blvd. - NOW!

They must then “reaffirm their allegiance to the United States” and agree to spend up to two years in public service jobs. Ford also announced the creation of a nine-member “clemency board” to review the cases of those already convicted of desertion of draft evasion. Members of the amnesty movement were sharply critical of the Ford program both because it punishes those who opposed the U.S. involvement in Indochina and because it fails to take into account the half-million men and women who received less-than-honorable discharges from the military as a result of their anti-war or anti-racism activities while in the service. AMEX-Canada, the largest American exile organization, hosted a conference in Toronto September 21 and 22 to organize a boycott of the Ford amnesty program. The conference included American exiles from Britian, France and Sweden as well as Canada. - Peoples' right “We will boycott the Ford program because we feel the American people have the right to resist unjust force,” explained Charlie Stimac. “We feel it is necessary to continue to build our right for a universal unconditional amnesty in order to prevent future wars of this nature and to support the peoples’ right of resistance against them.” Among the many other groups opposing the Ford program are Vietnam Veterans the War/Winter Soldier Against Organization (WAW/WSO), the American Servicemen’s Union (ASU), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). WAW/WSO termed the Ford program “a highly conditional amnesty for some 10% of the war resisters.” By this WAW/WSO notes that the amnesty program is only extended to the approximately 50,000 exiles while it ignores the estimated 560,000 people who received less-than-honorable discharges from the military. The veterans organization also notes that there are about 200,000 resisters now living underground in the United States who should be given total amnesty. Admit wrongdoing “The growing amnesty movement holds a threat for the U.G. government because universal, unconditional amnesty requires that they admit that their exploits in Southeast Asia were wrong,” stated Winter called for.” The ACLU also noted that the newly created Amnesty Review Board, which will do case-by-case reviews of exiles and deserters, “places a burden on men to articulate their conscientious object to the war. This may be difficult for many of them since it was the poorer, less educated men who were not deferred because they did not have access to adequate draft counseling and educational deferrment programs.” Unconditional amnesty Similarly, the American Friends Service Committee called Ford’s conditional amnesty “totally inadequate.” “It is clear that the majority of persons in need of amnesty,” said the AFSC executive secretary Louis W. Schneider, “will find it fiSS prison while his case is reviewed, said, “I’d rather serve a jail term than take a low-paying menial job.” Steve Bezich of Chicago refused to leave the federal prison at El Reno, Oklahoma saying he wouldn’t accept anything short of complete amnesty. Several others who did leave said they would return rather than accept alternative service. Similarly, the Justice Department has reported only a handful of calls asking information about surrendering. And the only confirmed case of a resister who has turned himself in is a man in San Francisco. Unconditional amnesty activists clearly view the thrust of Ford’s amnesty as an attempt to divide the amnesty movement. Protest continues Many who resisted or deserted during the “peak war years” continue in their opposition to U.S. activities in Southeast Asia both in the past and currently. For them the central point is that U.S. activities in Southeast Asia are criminal actions not the actions of those people who refused to take part in the war. “They are trying to sweep the war under the rug,” said Charlie Stimac at AMEX. “We can’t push aside the issue of 200,000 political prisoners in South Vietnam and that the war is still going on because of U.S. aid to Thieu.” He added: “What is Ford saying with this type of amnesty? He’s saying that opposition to .this type of war is wrong. He’s saying that people who stand up against the government must be punished. “Just look at what Ford has said recently,” stressed Mr. Stimac. “It’s just a continuation of the Nixon foreign policy. He said we can just walk into Chile and overthrow the government. “We feel that the majority of the people in the United States and across the world supported the struggle against U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia and oppose the idea that the United States can intervene any where any time it wants. “We feel that the struggle for unconditional amnesty is a struggle for the rights of people to legitimize their actions against the Vietnam War and part of a broad-based struggle for the rights of people to resist such actions by their — — CWPON^ Soldier, the WAW/WSO paper. “Clearly Ford hopes that his conditional amnesty proposal will divert the growing militancy and strength of the anti-imperialist amnesty movement.” The American Servicemen’s Union termed the Ford amnesty program "a cruel hoax” and predicted that it would be “justifiably rejected by the great majority of those eligible for amnesty.” Ex-Pfc Peter Perkins of the ASU said: “The entire concept behind Ford’s so-called ‘amnesty plan’ is that the courageous people who refused to take part in a war of criminal aggression must now return and do two years of ‘penance’ to the war machine which prosecuted this genocidal war.” The ACLU also predicted that “few men will participate in the program,” labeling Ford’s amnesty “far short of the unconditional amnesty the ACLU has impossible both to apply for this program and to maintain their integrity. This is consistent with their withdrawal from the war and we support them. We call for and work for universal cortinue to u . onditional amnesty.” Ilie AFSC also noted that “the major of p oblem upgrading the k .s-than-honorable discharges is omitted” id stated that “to require a pledge of legiance of these ‘offenders’ is degrading them and to the United States.” The AFSC also emphasized that “we are .ill far from peace in Indochina,” but added that “as one small step in building peace” full unconditional amnesty should be offered to those who wish it. Many of those already imprisoned for draft resistance have also indicated their opposition to Ford’s amnesty program. Malachi Williamson, given a 30-day furlough from Allenwood (Ba.) federal ;> government.” Senate testimony Burns says Rocky IS unfit for high office Haywood Burns, Legal Coordinator of the Attica Brothers Legal Defense (ABLD), testified before the U.S. Senate Rules Committee, Thursday, that Nelson Rockefeller is “unfit for and undeserving of the public office he now seeks.” Mr. Burns, who teaches at the law school here, traveled to Washington to voice his opposition to Gerald Ford’s nomination of Mr. Rockefeller as vice president. “We, as New Yorkers, have already lived under his governance and experienced first hand his mismanagement and abuse of power,” he said, adding that the short time allotted for testimony was not sufficient to detail all the shortcomings of Mr. Rockefeller’s years in office. Mr. Burns asked the committee “focus upon his [Mr. to Rockefeller’s] handling of the Attica prison rebellion of 1971 as a prime example of his unfitness to govern, his unsuitability for public trust.” Attica criticism Criticizing Mr. Rockefeller’s failure to go to Attica during the rebellion and his order for an armed assault on the prison facility, Mr. Burns said: “Prior to his statement on September 24, that ‘assault without weapons is —Santos the best procedure’ for dealing with prison rebellions of this kind, Mr. Rockefeller had continually taken another position, attempting to excuse or justify his handling of the Attica situation disclaiming any military expertise and indicating that he thought it best to defer to his military or para-military subordinates on these matters.” The Attica Defense by coordinator testified that “such an approach reflects a seriously misguided notion of the proper functioning of a person in executive authority in a —continued on page 2 — �Prison scars Prison self-injuries studied Another anxiety-producing situation in prisons, according to Dr. Toch, “decrease in meaningful activity.” He feels that when an individual is Self-inflicted injury in prisons may be even more “yanked out” of his career and given a forced of a severe problem than prison suicides, according opportunity to look at himself, the uncertainty and to Hans Toch, a professor at the School of Criminal inactivity of being in jail can be very discouraging.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The field of study but we have no penalty of success if the death of information about the outputs. the group as a distinct social and Accordingly, we don’t know on intellectual entity. The question of politics and what basis to allocate budget and manpower to a given person, science is not the only one the professor dealt with.

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

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

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

Academic use Despite the support for Day Care, the State University of New York refused to fund the Day Center unless it involves the “academic use” of the Center’s facilities, explained President Ketter in a telephone inverview. SUNY central administrations has repeatedly refused to upgrade Day Care staff positions or come through with funds, Dr. Ketter explained, because day care is not an approved function of the State and does not follow the chancellor’s guidelines. The present amount of funds has been allocated only because the money has come through University The group stopped for a while outside Dr. Ketter’s window, and then marched to Diefendorf Hall they stormed through a large mathematics lecture, pounding tambourines and where shouting “Day Care is a right, we’ll organize to fight.” The demonstrators then paraded around the rest of the campus. At the gathering in Haas Lounge, Pauline Lipman, co-chairperson of the Day Care Center’s steering committee, told the group that their fight was not for extra staff or additional space, but for the very survival of the Day Care Center. “This is not an isolated crisis,” Ms. Lipman declared. “The Equal Opportunity Program cannot even take any more people, funds to BSU and P.O.D.E.R. have been cut ’ack, and the University has attempted to close the Colleges. There are cuts everywhere,” she asserted. “If we don’t fight back against these cuts, there will be more cuts.” The Day Care Center, which was established in 1970 to provide quality day care so parents who wanted to receive an education could do so, has “never received adequate funding,” Ms. Lipman charged. Several of those gathered blamed the SA for funding activities like intercollegiate athletics and the Ski Club while abandoning Day Care, which they considered “a right,” not a luxury or convenience. Fight with administration Ms. Lipman stressed that the Day Care Center must not fight with other student groups. “It’s the University administration that really owes us; they owe us just like they owe Women Studies, it’s EOF, BSU and P.O.D.E.R. their responsibility to support us,” she said. - Responding to a question whether the Day Care Center had sought out any funds from the federal or state government, Nancy Osborn, a parent and staff member of Day about 27 September 1974 Faculty Senate votes to examine the Day Care issue - Advocates rally forfunds low-cost, Friday, of New York at Buffalo The Faculty-Senate approved a resolution Tuesday instructing the Executive Committee to study the issue of allocations for the Day Care Center and report back with recommendations at the next meeting, scheduled for November 5.

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

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

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

He also settled, once and for all, the question of whether he wore a wig by taking a comb from his jacket pocket and turning his ordinary hairstyle into the familiar set of bangs. Once, when he was waiting at a stoplight, he looked into the car at his left. There, a child of about ten was jumping up and down yelling; “Look, Mommy, it’s Moe of the Three Stooges. He dyed his hair grey.” Mr. Howard enjoyed the recognition.

Their analysis is based on a report that $60,000 worth of merchandise was stolen from the University Bookstore last year. Sociology professor Robert Ford, who teaches a course in criminology, says there is a “funny little norm” that the bigger a business is, the more people are willing to steal from it. The university, he asserted, is fast becoming a big business. As this happens, more and more impersonal situations are created which tend to take the guilt feeling out of robbing. One could argue, he said, “that if you put a nice old grandmother outside of the bookstore, and made students feel they were robbing her and not the university, book stealing would go down.” Another reason for student theft might be a carryover of part of the “subculture of adolescents” into college, Dr. Ford maintained. “Stealing for kicks,” he said, “is a hobby among many teenagers, a response to a dare, for example. A “delayed deterrent” might be another factor. “My students tell me they’ll try it until they get caught because no one will prosecute them the first time,” he said. “After they get caught once, they’ll cut it out.” However, Dr. Ford felt book stealing has a positive aspect, too, recalling that in 1969, when he came to the University, “no one used books.” Generally, he added wryly, “people steal only things that are useful, so this at least shows students now view books as being useful.” Norman Solkoff of the Department of Psychiatry also feels stealing for “kicks” is a factor, adding that reasons for stealing depend on the individual. “It could vary from not having enough money to trying to rip off the system to feeling that this is something they have coming to them,” he said. Dr. Solkoff maintained that without research, it is hard to pinpoint allocation to finance the concert had not been the reasons for student theft. He felt it might be related to “acting out Committee either the IRC Executive or approved by IRC body. This fact, confirmed by Mr. Smith, has anger” and that behavior such as stealing might be “substituting for the raised doubts about the legality of the expenditure. chaos of the ‘sixl'es’.” He warred, though, of the danger in interpreting statistics too Leigh Weber, IRC President, and the individual closely concerning student theft, pointing out that it would be helpful most involved with the event, declined comment, theft from other institutions for comparison. He also said it to check saying only that information would be available in was hard to know, without a careful study, if any increase in the crime the future. “It reminds me of Watergate, with all its rate were “real” or not. “Is there really an increase in crime, or are we deviousness and deception,” remarked one just more sensitive to detecting crime?” he said. Without data from disgruntled student. studies, Dr. Solkoff asserted one can assume that any increase in Explaining the reason for the secrecy, Mr. Smith student crime is likely to be coincidental. said he didn’t have “time to listen to 4000 dorm students coming down and explaining.” He said he did not know all the facts surrounding the issue. “I’m trying to find the reasons why this happened,” he said. The concert featured two musical groups, POCKET CALCULATORS “Ripple,” and “The Crown Heights Affair.” Mr. Smith claimed that “Ripple” arrived at Clark Hall over six hours after the agreed time, thereby disrupting the entire concert schedule and forcing the other group to play overtime. Mr. McCants contradicted Mr. Smith’s claim that “Ripple” had arrived at the concert late. The group arrived on time but their equipment truck had malfunctioned, he explained. “This is what I was told by them,” Mr. McCants said. IRC concert results in loss due to unexpected problems In a possible misuse of funds, the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) has lost approximately $4000 as a result of its September 21 concert in Clark Hall, The Spectrum has learned. The loss extinguishes about 12% of IRC’s total annual operating budget, according to a knowledgable source. The $4000 investment was the largest single one ever made by IRC, the source explained. Several possible reasons for the loss have been offered. Jim Smith, IRC Vice-President for Activities Planning, complained that sufficient publicity had not been available, even after an appropriate amount had presumably been planned. He indicated that this might have been the fault of the promoters, Wayne Patton and Bernard McCants. One IRC official is investigating the possibility that they were involved in producing illegal tickets. Both promoters, who are members of the IRC Affairs Committee, denied any wrongdoing. Referring to the charges that tickets had been sold illegally, Mr. McCant said, “As to my knowledge it isn’t true. I didn’t sell tickets to anybody.” Minority Of 600 people who attended the concert, over 400 did not purchase tickets at the ticket office, one spokesman claimed. IRC would have had to sell 1600 tickets to break even. “The promoters told us the concert would be full,” Mr. Smith added. Mr. McCants disclaimed any knowledge about just what kind of publicity IRC had planned for the concert and said he had hoped the concert “would be a sellout.” Legality questioned The IRC source said the original surwafe/l $6000 IN STOCK - NOW! HEWLETT-PACKARD Mr. Weber is reportedly taking legal action that will attempt to restore some of the losses. Who dun it? Questioned about who might have been responsible for going ahead with the concert, Mr. Smith said he had first learned about it from Mr. Weber and the Minority Affairs Committee. “But the actual plans were made by Mr. Weber and myself,” he maintained. i> [Ri@ct@[ni tent BUFFALO TEXTBOOK 3610 Main Street Scientific-Technical Reference Books wm MAD passport photos; grad school applications, med school applications, law school applications; ID and test photos 3 photos: $3 ($.50 each additional with original order) Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. (no appointment necessary) open all photos available on Fridays Friday, 27 September 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . �Contemporary sound moves in on progressive radio PHD by David Haitkin Spectrum Staff Writer WPHD, the “progressive” FM radio station in Buffalo, may have a new “AM” flavor when Robert Howard takes over the station’s ownership October 1st. Mr. Howard plans to simulcast what he called “I can assure you that during prime listening times, 7 p.m. through the early morning hours and most of the weekend, when people are more receptive to listening, the PHD sound will be maintained,” he emphasized. However, most of the time the station will probably carry “contemporary music,” which he said roughly approximate “the top 40 sound” of AM radio. “I don’t believe in screaming radio,” Mr. Howard explained, though, recalling that the station he was associated with in Washington, DC was considered “a station that was number one in all kinds of rock, a station that could satisfy everyone’s tastes.” □ SCOTT “contemporary sound” for a large part of the broadcast day over WPHD and its AM coordinate, WYSL. He also intends to change the call letters of WPHD to WISL “for obvious purposes.” Mr. Howard admitted he was aware of the community’s strong support for the present progressive format of PHD and said he believes in the PHD sound. Over-reaction to change Mr. Howard views the avalanche of mail and the petitions now circulating as an over-reaction to the planned change format. He recognizes the popularity of the station in town, and believes that “it would be foolish to stop or kill what has proven to be a success story.” Over the past year, WPHD has risen substantially in its ratings. According to ARB, a standard radio rating service, it now commands approximately 140,000 listeners, making it first among people between the ages of 18 and 34 in Buffalo. John McCann, program director for the station, has been instrumental in bringing PHD to its present position in the forefront. He and others in the community also fear an end to the progressive rock album play in favor of another “screaming d.j.” type station. One observer underscored the station’s importance as a source of “cultural communication, something that makes Buffalo bearable,” and “the only such outlet with money the way it is.” Before Mr. Howard knows exactly how much of WPHD will be simulcast, he has to “sit down with the general manager and the program director and find out what they have to say.” He promised that “the people in the Buffalo metropolitan area will have a chance to make the radio station what they want it to be.” UUAB PRESENTS: THE CHAPLIN SERIES LIMELIGHT CITY LIGHTS October 1 October 22 2 - CHAPLIN REVUE October 8 9 October 29 BOLD RUSH, PAY DAY October 15 23 KING in NEW YORK ■ - - • 30 GREAT DICTATOR November 4 16 - 5 The films will be in Norton Conference Theatre For further information call 831-5117 ADMISSION POLICY— tickets do NOT include the Great Dictator General $6.25 Series: Students $3.75 General $1.50 Single Student $1.00 it Series Series tickets go on sale at Norton Ticket Office, Friday Sept. 27th.

The program was initiated more than a year ago by SA and, according to Cathleen Carter, program head and security officer, it has been a huge success. Last year, 1200 people registered their bicycles, and although there were 51 bike thefts reported in other places on campus since January, Ms. Carter emphasized that “there were approximately twice as many taken during the same time span last year.” None were stolen amortg those parked in the bike corral behind Lockwood Library. The bike corral operates from 9 aun. to 5 pun., Monday through Friday. SA employees check identification of all people who bring their bicycles in and out of the corral, and they are chiefly responsible for the success of the program. Ms. Carter notes: “No one will steal a bike when he is forced to show an ID.” Registration To register, you must take your bicycle to the corral, where you will be assisted by SA workers. You then proceed to fill out a form containing information necessary for the registration. An identification card will then be issued, corresponding to the license plate number placed on the bicycle. If a bicycle is stolen, the owner fills out a theft report. Campus Security then sends the bicycle’s frame number to the Erie County Central Police Services’ computer, where it is put on file and listed as stolen. If a bicycle is found or suspected of being stolen, the numbers are compared, and if listed, is returned to the rightful owner. There is an addition to the program this year. Ms. Carter explained: “We decided to halt the operation to reflect on whether or not the program being offered was the best possible for our patrons. We decided to keep the program, but also offer Operation Identification, since it is cost-free to the community and offers additional protection.” Vibro-markers Operation Identification involves the marking of students’ social security numbers on bicycles with electric vibro-markers. Campus Security keeps these numbers on file, so that if a stolen bicycle is spotted, the true ownership can be proven. Markers have been installed in a booth in the corral so that while a student is registering his bicycle, he can mark it at the same time.

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

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

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

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

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

We sat back when the Colleges were victimized by the Reichert Committee and the Faculty Senate. The only vehicle for us obtaining a real education that utilizes it, and is therefore a heavy financial burden. The nine Student Association members (a controlling majority force on Sub-Board) voted Day Care funding down for this reason, totally dollars and cents. It is truly unfortunate that they didn’t have this concern when composing their own budget. Men’s athletics is allocated over $1000 per student in their program. But who can dare question the importance of an athletic program for the student body. Dollars and cents cannot be considered when the baseball team gets to go to Florida. These are the priorities that have been set for us. And all we have been doing is sitting back. Can we continue to sit back? Are we going to allow ourselves to become the puppets we hate so much in our elders? It is so for us to show our voice, to join together to set our own priorities. was being destroyed.

WNYPIRG is not conducting a survey of student housing and he, the real and only Schwartz in that organization, made no such phone call.

The girl's heart-shaped cheek make-up, her frumpy overcoat, and her love of black lace panties tell us all there is to know about her. And a "She’s single line of dialogue crazy to be living here without papers!"— outlines everything we need to know about the plot. in the trunk of an ordinary elephant. Watching The Girl from Petrovka on the screen at the front of the theater is like watching the movie projector in the projection room. Sure, there's always the chance that the film will break and the show will be temporarily halted and, yes, there could be a fire in the theater or a city wide power failure, but in general, the steady, controlled movement of the film from one reel to another is largely a matter of formality. From the moment the machine is turned on, the action of the characters on the screen is as predictable and as tedious as the movement of the film itself from the full reel to the empty one. Early on in the film we're told, "Art lives long; life is short." But what about schlock? only suppose, It, seems I role in this Yawn-in. Maybe it was her silly laugh, or her innocent eyes, or perhaps the simply brevity of her television scenes that sustained her in the past. Bundled, as she is in Petrovka, in that bulky coat floppy hat, and a white, for her constricted by that heavy accent, and painted up with that gaudy cheek- heart, whatever kept her alive before is hurried here. In this film, Holbrook doesn't keep; her in the background like Warren Beatty did in $ and there's no demonic presence to undercut her cutesey mugging as Joel Gray did for Liza Minelli in Caberet. "I get bored," complains Goldie as Oktyabrina. "That's always been my problem ever since I was a kid. child." Not "bored" "Boring." interminable.

His shtick as Mark Twain was enjoyable, but his T.V. work (The Senator) seemed so lifeless. As Twain, he needed simply to representan old man and to know how to say Twain’s lines so as to achieve the maximum humorous effect. He was little more than one of those like audio animatronic puppets the Lincol in Disneyworl that recites the Gettysburg Adress. Once again, it doesn't take much emotional depth, nor did his T.V. work. In Petrovka he has reached opportunity — a dull nadir.

The Girl from Petrovka Not Greek Those labels pasted on the characters and settings are not like the masks of ancient Greek drama or the names of characters in Morality plays that served as symbols of deeper ideological relationships. This movie's labels aren't like Brechtian labels that playfully comment on stage conventions, nor are they like whose catoons animated exaggerated hand-drawn images mask the people whose voices we hear for the sake of fun. The labels in Petrovka don't resemble the devices’ of the Batman T'V' series, either, which used labels, actually masks, and a cartoon "tradition" to mix everything in "Campy" together a pseudo-Brechtian morality play.

The labels become a lot like Dumbo's magic feather photographed in an artsy, slightly stylized way that robs the scene of any sensuousness that might have developed. One more thing should be said about the movie. Whenever a film is released that exposes a "social issue" (like On the Waterfront did, and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and maybe Serpico) even if it's a poorly made movie, I always feel a slight tinge of regret when I knock it. Sometimes calling attention to an issue is itself a good thing, even if the experience is, aesthetically, a fiasco. And possibly it does take a special limited kind of courage to treat such problems on screen in front of millions of people. Directed by Robert Ellis Miller, The Girl from Petrovka, has the feel of one of those socially relevant films, but when you sort it out, all the fim really attacks is the repressive Comminist police state. Not even the provincial hick is like an anti-communist flip-side to the banal equally anti-McCarthy The Way We Were. And this one like that one has all the visual beauty of a softtouch greeting card.

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

Friday, 27 September 1974 . Prodigal Sun �Theatre Department plans expansion now In the past five years, the Theatre Department has grown at an amazing rate. It became so large that Harriman Library could no longer contain its activities, forcing its expansion last year to the Courtyard Theatre at Lafayette and Hoyt Streets, where most of the productions and dance classes now take place. "Our statisticians told us we were utilizing 160% of all space in Harriman," says Gordon Rogoff, head of the Theatre Dept. "The Courtyard has got a theatre, dance studios, rehearsal space, it's just 10/17—19— Naked Lunch 11/7—10 The Misanthrope 11/15-17& 11/22—24 Dance '74 11/20-24 Baal Sexuality, 12/3 6 Knowledge and Theatre 12/7—8 Bits 'n Pieces Department Theatre productions are not closed affairs. Anyone can audition for a part or volunteer for technical work. "On stage there's about a 50—50 percentage of majors to non-majors.” Prof. Rogoff explained, "If one of us has a passion to do a play, we do it. Then we cast who we think is best." The open auditions cause some majors to be unhappy about the less desirable roles they — — - — — receive in theatre productions Prof. Rogoff recognizes this problem, but explains that there's a limit to what can be done. "Just someone takes acting doesn't mean they can play any part," he stated. "Why put on a play poorly? When we choose a play, we look at our company and ask 'What can they do? What's good for them? What will help them?' and cast from there. But not everyone can play Hamlet, no because matter how good they think they Gordon Roycoff what we needed." With this added area came the very desirable opportunity to university get theatre off campus and out into the community. Problems did crop up, particularly with transportation. Most students who want to sac a production at the Courtyard have to depend on a Bluebird bus to get them there and back. Last year. The White Devi/ played to seven-member audiences more than once because of the bus' failure to show. Professor Rogoff feels that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. "Because we need the space, we'd rather be at the Courtyard. We now have an infinitely greater number of opportunities in theatre than in the past five years. Instead of two productions a semester, we can put out eight." Fall schedule: 10/4 Eric Bjentley by Brecht 10/17-19 Dance — — — Songs ' — are." With the opening of the Ellicott Complex on the Amherst Campus this year came the question of who will inhabit the new Drama Workshop there. The Theatre Department has already scheduled two productions there this semester, "Dance", presented in conjunction with the School of Health Education, and "Dance '74" with the Zodiaque Company and the Black Dance Workshop. As for the future, Prof. Rogoff notes, "Originally, Ellicott was to be used only by the Colleges, and the studio was for College B. Now Media Studies, Cultural Affairs, everyone would like to have it, but no one can afford it. It has to and maintained, run, protected. No one department can do that." Through all the growth and spreading out, the main objective of the Theatre Department hasn't been forgotten. "What we want to do," said Prof. Rogoff, "is bring a group of people together who can form a working artistic community which can then feed into the current theatre scene." They do this by attempting many of and theatre, types with each experimenting production -Kevin Crane be Phase IV Sci-ii Him views desert ants almost before he began; the whole thing seems like by Randi Schnur an elaborate Asst. Arts Editor Some extremely strange things have been happening out there in the southwestern desert, but only Dr. Hubbs has noticed them. Those seemingly harmless little black insects are, he insists, "doing things ants don't normally do meeting, communicating, apparently making decisions." As if this weren't portentous enough, the number of these suddenly and incomprehensibly intelligent creatures is increasing rapidly, while whole populations of ant-eating insects are disappearing from the area altogether. The good doctor's conclusion and recommendation; "Speed is of the essence!" Dr. Hubbs does get a government grant, a young assistant named Jim, a dome-shaped silver laboratory in the desert, and several thousand gallons of a suffocatingly thick, yellowish insecticide. Thus begins the first phase of a battle between man and which, the title a very unnatural nature nature implies, will last through Phase IV. — — — Not enough time What the biologist does not get, however, is enough time to allow the ants to come out for observation on their own, and the scientists' destruction of six mysterious stone towers from which the insects have been watching (anxiously? Can ants be anxious?) apparently leaves the survivors so incensed that they send line after line of furious soldiers to combat the intruders. apparently, though; decoding Only mathematical messages sent to the lab through their computer, Jim suddenly realizes that the ants are even more interested in observation than he and Hubbs are. Roasted all day by sunlight reflected from pieces of the towers that are now smooth as glass; able to operate their equipment, the wires of which have been chewed through, for only a few hours each night, the experimenters are themselves subjects in a controlfed experiment conducted by creatures they can crush between their fingers. Right idea Phase IV starts off with some very good ideas, but ends up as a very bad movie nonetheless. It has a lot of potential, at) of it left pretty mqch unrealized by the time director Saul Bass has used up his allotted hour and a half of film. Indeed, the viewer is left with the feeling that Bass ran out of cellulose — and largely boring — introduction to what might have been a very interesting film. We never do actually get up to the fourth phase; it begins just as the movie ends, but it is obvious that this time the ants will be on top, since they are very much smarter than the scientists who played right into their antennae. The film suffers from many common science fiction flaws: the ponderously awful script, the over-emphasis sophisticated of equipment and under development of character, the presence of a in this case, Fatal Flaw in the heroes' defenses their failure to remember that animals rise on the evolutionary scale through a combination of mutation and frustration. (Remember all those insects born immune to DDT?) — Other mistakes But Phase IV also makes quite a few mistakes which have nothing to do with the genre. Dick Bush's photography is often beautiful, but he tends to get carried away. Several shots, particularly the climactic frame in which Jim and Kendra, a local teenager who finds refuge in the lab shortly after the battle begins, stand silhouetted against a spectacularly red sunset, come off looking like Kodak commercials. The overall pretension and heavy-handedness of the production manages to overcome even its best moments, and the promised thrills, if there are any, come not as much from fear as from laughter. The acting is equally forgettable. Nigel Davenport, Michael Murphy, and Lynne Frederick are the tiresome trio caught under the dome. The latter two are merely decorative; Davenport, though, does have some fiery and rather interesting moments while his Hubbs emerges as an increasingly mad genius, finally becoming a sort of futuristic Captain Ahab obsessed by his plots to murder the insects' own Great Black Ant. The sequel, should director Bass ever decide to chance it, could bo a lot of fun. He'd probably have to use the same title, though, as it would deal with the fourth phase of experimentation that his current offering never quite gets around to. In fact, with a tight new shooting schedule, he could simply pull Phase IV Number One (which, in case you're still interested, is now playing at the Boulevard, Seneca, and Eastern Hills malls) out of circulation queen, his altogether . . .

Page eleven �Creative Associates Baird Hall to present Grateful Dead update On October second, the first of a most unusual series of concerts will be given at Baird Recital Hall. Under the auspices of Creative Associates, Tom Constanten, ex-keyboards man for the Grateful Dead, will be presenting and performing his compositions, which range from jazz-rock to electronic to avante-garde to pre-Bach orientation. It is not surprising that Tom's compositions are so varied in nature, considering his background: he really has covered the field, musically and otherwise. He grew up in Las Vegas during the '50's, when, he says, "it still had a slightly risque, old west flavot about it". He started to write music in 1959, at the tender age of fifteen, and after fiddling around with a National Science Foundation Scholaship in astrophysics, left for Europe in 1962 to study music. In Germany, Italy, England and Belgium, he studied with a surprisingly impressive list of teachers: Carlheinz Von Stockhausen, Pierre Boulez and Lucien Berio, among / others. (Well, we say, how does this lead to the Grateful Dead?) Some roommate It was in the early sixties that Tom found himself rooming with one Phil Lesh, who, at the time, abhorred anything but serious, "classical" music. He ended up doing his friend Jerry a favor by learning how to play the bass, but that's another story. Anyway, Tom joined the Dead in 1968, and his career for the next two years is popular history by now, so we won't bore you with it. Since he left the Dead in 1970, he's been stretching his wings in as many different directions as he could find. After performing on and arranging the Incredible String Band album "U", he and members from various other bands (Garcia, Chicken Hirsch from Country Joe, some mem{)ers'of Joy of Cooking, and others) became involved in a show called Tarot. It was all mime and music. After a cast album, the show "bio degraded", the band broke up, and Tom was back on the coast making money in studio gigs. He played with such luminaries as Janis Joplin, Richie Havens, Stevie Wonder, and Steven Stills, to name a few. He's also written a number of movie scores in the intervening time span, but none of them have really taken off. Pleasures of Buffalo So, after all that, what is he doing in, of all places, Buffalo? Tom says he's a little "sick of being let down by wheelers and dealers academic people are much more reliable". Here, he can writerand perform music for its own sake, and not have to contend with all the hassles surrounding the music business. It's also sort of a — rest stop, until the next phase happens (whatever that is). The first show will be presented this Wednesday'at 8 p.m. The band is made up of Constanten on keyboards and local musicians Albert Furness (drums). Art Levinowitz (sax), Joel Perry (guitar), Murray Kohn (bass), and Dennis Williamson (bass). The music will be jazz-rock oriented, or, as Tom puts it, "a multistylistic melange: aggregations of riffs and raffs". Constanten has a theory about music, related to driving a car. there's the movie score gear, show gear, "You have to shift gears gear star now I'm popping the clutch. I'll see what right rock happens." It should be very interesting to see what happens on — — Wednesday night. The Center of the Creative and Performing Arts at the State University of Buffalo (Creative Associates) is a rather remarkable organization. Started in 1964 by Lukas Foss and Allen Sapp, its purpose is to offer annual fellowship to "young professionals in new music and the contemporary performing arts." Since its foundation ten years ago, it has reached international proportions, touring Europe and drawing artists from all over the world. Their "Evenings for New Music" series is presented annually at the Albright-Knox.

The artist himself was also available for live demonstrations and performances. Stop in to the Gallery, explore the room and the different effects and think there for awhile. Beginning October 2 and continuing through October 8, Ed Melnik will present his own video sculpture, including performances and discussion. The medium he uses involves color video tapes and T.V. monitors to encourage active involvement in the exhibit. Some of his work is already known at this University and has been shown on campus. to campus, On the boards Following that, for about four weeks the Gallery will be devoted to the work of a group of artists living across the U.S., Pnumbral Raincoast. Each artist in the group prepares packages with samples of his/her own work to be sent to the other artists on the list. These include writings, video productions. Xerox printing, film, photography, and music. Their philosophy regards spreading art as communication, and not confining it simply to a studio, or using it for purely individual purposes. As in a chain letter, an artist may take something out, replacing it with something of his own. The exhibit here will display samples of some of their work, along with anything the artists feel expresses themselves. These objects might include a drawing, or the back of the postcard inviting the artists to visit or send their work to the Gallery. Special musical performances in conjunction with the films shown are planned, and active interest and participation by visitors is encouraged she'd love to see more interest. New ideas and feedback from the exhibits will help in future planning.

Actually, it was more of an afternoon of student political activism. I suppose that term is a bit too strong since Hartford probably pioneered the mood of Eastern liberal apathy in 1972. The rallying cry at that time was “If it moves, smoke it.” No one remembered Kent State but just about everyone owned a copy of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s “Ohio.” But you couldn’t dance to it. All during my freshman year, 1 advocated revolution. 1 may have been unsure of what I wanted to overthrow but at least I wanted to overthrow something. It ran in the family. My brother achieved the status as “dangerous revolutionary” at Notre Dame and my sister ran around this campus in 1970, daring the police to mace her. Genetically, I was capable but the atmosphere in Hartford was not condusive to fighting in the streets. I had to wait all year for my brief shining moment. Distributed by There were a few attempts at striking up some kind of activity among the students at UHa (That ought to prove that we never took ourselves too seriously). From UHa, we derived Uhahahaha. The October moratorium against the war attracted all of six UHa students who most likely stumbled onto the protest by accident. I went to the moratorium and stayed with a concerned interest group that mugged me later in the evening. That didn’t hurt so much but 1 needed that small change for bus fare home. SYNDICATE Conspiracy? To the Editor: There is a rumor floating around here that I wish someone would clear up. is there such a place as North Dakota? Some people in my geography class say there’s nothing but a bottomless, somewhat irridescent hole where North Dakota should be, and when you drive west past Minnesota or east past Montana, you fall off the edge. This is very disturbing to my friends and me. According to these people, it’s all a conspiracy among the Army Corps of Engineering, the government, and top executives at Rand McNally, who were faced with the problem of what to put in the empty space above South Dakota. Revealing the truth would be out of the question, they agreed, so they invented this mythical state and populated it with mythical cows Snd people. The Corps did its part by erecting misleading road signs and huge concave mirrors along roads leading to the state line so that drivers attempting to reach Bismarck or Mandan would actually be sidetracked to a dry riverbed in Nebraska. Have you ever been in North Dakota? Have you ever known anyone from there, or who’s been there? Have you ever received a phone call from North Dakota? Or a letter? Can you name either of the two senators from North Dakota? How do you know it’s there? Please help me. I don’t know what to say to these people. Name withheld upon “All I know is, we were told to ship it to San Clemente with a get-well-soon card” request In April, Hartford partook in a nationwide strike for peace. The evening before the strike, rumors swept the cafeteria with alarming inaccuracy. Though I did not check the morning papers, I still refuse to believe that the National Guard invaded the nearby Trinity College and shot 85 coeds. Trinity, at that time, was all mate. The next day was worse. UHa students were not only encouraged to miss classes, but they weren’t allowed to attend them. Our obnoxious Student Association (where were they before the strike?) assigned members to keep students from entering any academic building. (There were only three on campus.) By noon, the SA backed off and everyone went to classes. I think there was a mass Intro to Theatre exam given that day. By final time, 1 had turned into a flaming apathetic pothead. 1 may have been doomed to this existence forever if not for Richard Nixon. On May 8th, our one and a quarter term President had the audacity to announce a stepped-up attack against North Vietnam, including the mining of Haiphong Harbor. The revolution was on. It helped a lot that Connecticut Governor Tom Meskill supported Nixon’s move. We couldn’t very well truck on down to Washington, so the UHa radicals did the next best thing an organized revolt in front of the Governor’s mansion. Yeah, and I had a psych final that night. I knew I’d be able to get back in time for the exam, but naturally, I hadn’t studied. I was caught between what was right and what was smart. My roommate - made a personal appeal: “All year long you’ve been waiting for the revolution. And now you’re copping out.” “But I’ve got a D average in psych. The exam could pull up my grade, although I haven’t studied for it yet.” “And what about the revolution.” My eyes lit up. “What are we waiting for? Let’s go to Meskill’s.” We hitched to the Governor’s mansion and joined the array of campus celebrities who kept wandering in front of the TV news cameras. How can they televise the revolution? I asked the person I thought was the leader of the movement for the battle plans. “We’re gonna sit on his driveway and keep car from coming in,” he said. “Is that it?” “He’s going to have to drive over us to get in his Meskill’s pig mansion.” “Oh yeah. Drive right over us, huh?” “Don’t worry. My buddy George is padlocking the gate behind you.” George actually padlocked the gate. He dared a couple of state troopers to evict him. “Nyeh, Nyeh! Come and get me, pigs! The troopers calmly told George to remove the padlock. 1 lost the key, pigs. You’ll have to blow-torch it off! They didn’t have to. They knocked it off with a sledge hammer which I guess was ordinarily used for hand-to-hand combat. George was led away but he didn’t stop “nyeh nyehing” until the police car turned the corner.

That was a sop to right wingers, who hate the idea of anybody’s “getting something for nothing.” Welfare recipients were to be forced to work or to take work training. The thing was impractical from the start. Unemployment was already high, not for lack of the will to work but for lack of jobs. The training centers would have to be set up, and employers begged to find room for the products of those centers. The decision apparatus would have been created for choosing who should work and at what, who should stay home with children, or who would man day care centers. It was a good example of the opponents of “big government” trying to set up government snoops and slave-herders and bureaucrats becuase they dislike the poor more than they dislike government interference. The same problems arise for putting expatriates to work as the price of their re-entry. Where would we find the jobs? Are we to put people out of work creating special kinds of jobs for these men? It is suggested that they do social work. Who will support them while they do? The government, which is trying to cut its budget? Public works are already being suggested for the work force laid off by the current high unemployment rate - are we to pre-empt those jobs with young men able to find work or schooling elsewhere? The desire to punish others just leads us to self punishment. Or take the matter of oaths of loyalty, declarations of penitence, admissions of guilt. The attempts to extract these from men who return it would keep the would have only one effect - most principled war resisters, who feel no guilt, out of the country. Only they have the conscience and discipline to refuse such an offer. In other words, we would screen out the best and accept back those of slack conscience, who had a merely selfish desire to run away. But short of such a self-defeating test, how does one probe the motives of those who absented themselves from the Vietnam war? Are we to have tribunals of Solomons, going over the work of detectives, case by case? Using what norms? The odd thing is that the American people themselves are divided on the proper tests for repatriation. Some would approve of a test that kept the ideological opponents of the war in Canada or in the underground, considering them the hard and principled anti-patriots. But this makes the test for repatriation a man’s opinion, which goes against the First Amendment to the Constitution. And it leads to the absurdity of accepting a merely lazy draft dodger back and refusing readmittance to men who said in the middle of the war what many of the war’s first advocates were saying by the end of the Sixties. All right, should we admit back the hardest war critics? Aside from the difficulty of deciding who these are, we again seem to be rewarding an opinion rather than punishing an objective act of crime and that, too, goes against the First Amendment, The truth is that no good moral sense can be made out of the Vietnam War, which never had any — moral sense and it is for just such situations that amnesty (forgetfulness) was devised. It wipes the incident out, so far as legal guilt or innocence goes; pretends, for the courts, that it never happened. That is the solution we must eventually reach. Those who oppose that solution, like those who supported the war, just prolong our agony to no good end. — �Literary Arts Funding cutbacks result in budget-minded poetry series Cuts in arts funding by Sub-Board has compelled the Literary Arts Committee to plan a ‘budget-minded’ program of poetry readings for this year. “It’s a problem of all the small committees, and especially the arts-oriented ones,” one committee member conceded. “Although the poetry readings have attracted big audiences in the past, the Board only wants money-making committees, like film, to receive large funds. Committees like us, who’ve traditionally held everything for free, just don’t have the income they look for when it comes time to budget funds,” the member stated. “The Board has the exclusive right,” charged the Literary Arts representative, “to deny us speakers and actually run us without ever attending our readings, looking at the gallery, or listening to a concert. All they do is look at the figures.” Coming poets Suggested speakers for this year include Victor Hernandez Cruz, Diane Wakowski, Denice Levertov, and Galway Kinnell, required by the conditions of their grants to give free readings in exchange for expenses, board, and entertainment by the host universities. The committee plans to minimize speakers’ expenses by selecting poets from the local or state area. In addition to the Literary Arts Committee program, the English Department is holding its own poetry series. Charles Reznikoff has already read on September 18th and on October 7th, Phil This Saturday night in the Rathskellar Pub, the Top of the Pops and other hits will be played by The Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Band. The boys are pictured above. (Sunflower seeds are optional.) New Rathskellar Pub labeled as successful by customers and SA “Successful” is the word Michael Phillips, treasurer of Sub-Board, used to describe last weekend’s opening of the new student Pub, located in the Norton Hall Rathskellar. The 1100 people who jammed into the Pub on Friday and Saturday nights evidently had the same response. There were a few minor problems, however, thif will be adjusted in the future. A number of students expressed disappointment with the music. Mr. Phillips was upset with this situation and promised to make improvements. In addition to the entertainment, other changes will include subdued lighting and a more ample supply of beer pitchers, according to Mr. Phillips. Levine will appear the Conference Theater Finally, a Departmental poetry series is planning monthly readings, according to English professor Albert Cook. Straiten Rossen and Ray Federman were here on September 19th. Upcoming readings include Jack Clark and Mike Finn on October 3rd, Richard Creeley and Bobbi Louise Hawkins on October 10th. Future readings will be announced upon release by the individual departments. -A lice Jacobson Limited security Since student behavior was not a problem, there are no plans to increase security measures. However, Student Association (SA) workers will continue to supervise the activities. Michael Liben, who works with Mr. Phillips in making preparations for the Pub, has been auditioning and selecting the bands. While he is looking for competent musicians who play with a degree of originality, he feels more dancing music would be appropriate for the upcoming weekends. He said attempts are being made to lower the alcohol prices. Presently, a pitcher of beer costs $1.50 plus tax, and a glass, 33 cents plus tax. Mr. Phillips, Mr. Liben, and the SA are pleased with student reaction to the Pub and enjoy offering a “real service” to the student body. To avoid a,drop in interest and attendance, Mr. Phillips feels “if people don’t like what we’ve got, they should definitely make suggestions.” This weekend, “Merlin” will be on stage Friday night and “The Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Band” will appear Saturday evening. cAURUM HANDCRAFTED AND ANTIQUE JEWELRY At Steak & Brew We don’t blow our own horn about our specials our patrons do that for us. for $3.95... unbelievable, licious" —Phil Gibson juicy Roast Prime Ribs 25—I'm going to be a ly regular."— Nancy Sullivan .OIN H.Y.

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

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

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

Fittipaldi, his in Texaco-Marlboro McLaren, set a new qualifying record for the 2.5 mile road course, giving him the pole position for the race. However, Hauda’s outside front row position set him up to take the lead as the flag fell and the howling pack dove into Mosport’s a fast, sweeping, Turn 1 downhill righthander.

Suddenly he was on Hunt’s tail again, and on the 60th lap he was by and free to take off after Regazzoni. At this juncture Lauda, still in the lead, crashed. Only 12 laps from the end he met with an oil patch and ended his bid for the Canadian Championship. The points race for the World Championship took on a new shape. Regazzoni had led Scheckter by one point and Fittipaldi by three going into the Mosport race. Lauda and Peterson also were still possibilities, although Lauda’s crash put him out of it. (Fortunately, the Austrian was not hurt.) victory at Monza two weeks ago, was closing fast on Regazzoni. He closed it up to a second-and-ahalf, but that six points for second place meant too much to Regga and Peterson could do no more. Fittipaldi’s nine points for his win and Regazzoni’s six tied them at 52 for the world title going into the finale at Watkins Glen (U.S. Grand Prix) next week. Scheckter, seven points back, is capable of winning any race he enters, largely due to the tutelage of Ken Tyrell, the man who had a large Hand in Jackie Stewart’s greatness. Points race Ferrari has made a great comeback this year with their two new drivers, Lauda and Regazzoni. Fittipaldi might well be the first to ride a McLaren to the World Championship. Tied for first, if Fittipaldi or Regazzoni tie for first either can win the title by finishing higher than the other in the final race. But if Scheckter wins at the Glen and neither Emerson nor Clay finish higher than sixth, he will become the youngest World Champion in Fittipaldi takes lead So it was now Fiitpaldi by history.

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

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

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

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

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

Special to The Spectrum Each year at Indiana (CPS) University-Bloomington, 800 to 1000 freshmen list pre-med as a major. By their senior year only 300 to 400 of these students apply to medical school and from these few, only 3 out of 10 are accepted. Nationwide, 40,000 students will apply for 14,000 available openings in American medical schools. White students with less than an A-average have little chance of acceptance, as do minority students with less than a B-average, according to one admissions committee. In the face of this overwhelmingly stiff competition about 500 students yearly are leaving the country to undertake the difficult task of attending a foreign medical school. Getting accepted is not much easier at most foreign schools and in addition, students encounter a raft of obstacles as evidenced by a 30 to 50% attrition rate during the first year, compared to 5% in the United States. — Transfer advisable If the student survives the first year, chances of lasting the entire medical course improve considerably. But certain medical schools require a 6 to 12-month period of service and advisors government recommend that a U.S. citizen’s principal goal should be to return to the U.S. at the earliest possible time to transfer with advanced standing into an accredited medical school. The transferring procedure, however, requires taking a transfer application test, securing letters of recommendation and making more admissions applications. In 1072, only 31.8% of 676 Americans successfully completed the transfer from a foreign to a U.S. medical school. As there is almost no chance for students to a t tend an English-speaking medical school (Australia, Canada, Great Britain, South Africa), the language handicap becomes the biggest stumbling block for first-year students. Advisors warn that those learning the language will need English editions of foreign textbooks to assist study and that students must be adaptable, self-disciplined, highly motivated and prepared to take yearly make-or-break oral examinations covering a lot of ground. In addition, European professors are typically inaccessible and Guidance Some guidance is available for the interested pre-med student in the booklet “Guide to Foreign Medical Schools,” obtainable for $4 from the Institute of Organization’s World Directory of Medical Schools, available from the World Health 27, Geneva 1211 Organization, Switzerland.

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

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

Mr. Schwartz explained that the hassles began over a petition circulated by WIRR and signed by 900 students. The petition asked for student support for the station’s expansion to the North Campus. “We were told by IRC that ‘anyone will sign a petition, we don’t have to listen to petitions’,” Mr. Schwartz reported. “1 can’t believe a fourth of those people (who WIRR is presently based, is “almost nothing.” He was optimistic about upcoming Area Council elections, predicting that “whoever wins will support us.” At a recent WIRR staff meeting, alternative income measures were discussed. Sock hops were suggested as one possible source of supplemental funding. WIRR also hopes an upcoming meeting with IRC representatives will prove successful. Staff appointments and ideas for an up-to-date record library are being considered. Broadcasting time has been expanded from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m., and special secuirty measures have been set up to better insure WIRR property. A precise schedule time for a proposed on-the-air marathon has been put off until official word is received from IRC on the budget. “We’re still hoping to get out to Ellicott this semester,” Mr. Schwartz said, “because the feedback I’ve been getting is that people like the shows.” RA s discriminately sought In order to help dormitory students cope with the'problems of college life, University Housing each year assigns Resident Advisors (RA’s) to each dorm on campus. What is the job of an RA? “An RA should be able to help the student in any way he can,” said Eric Kramer, head resident of Goodyear Hall, adding that an RA’s job is to help students “promote personal growth.” The general areas of responsibility of the RA, Mr. Kramer noted, include helping to establish a conducive educational environment within the residence halls by assisting and advising groups and individual students on academic, social and personal matters. The various available personal RA should be able to refer students to the counseling and guidance opportunities on campus, as well as to attend to the safety of the residents of his floor or unit, according to Mr. Kramer. Complicated procedure “They (the RA) can only be as helpful as you will permit,” he said. Bill Conroy, assistant director of Housing for Research added: “The RA’s have to carry out roles as administrative assistants occasionally.” He did not see this as their primary role, however. Mr. Conroy also outlined the complicated procedure for becoming an RA. First, the applicant must solicit recommendations from students, teachers, or anyone else who can evaluate his or her interactions with people. The second step is a personal interview with a - . of money.” To assist dorm residents : Page four The Spectrum . Wednesday, 25 September 1974 “We are doing all that we can to fund the we have now,” he said, “and really do want to expand. Unfortunately, we don’t have that kind station Too few Mr. Smith explained that only 200 students necessitates a cable hookup with the new dormitory listen at any one time to WIRR, as opposed to a beer facilities, which would require substantial additional blast, for instance, in which 1500 can participate at once. WIRR “is probably one of our lesser funding. WIRR did not service the Governor’s Residence activities,” he said. Mr. Schwartz observed that the cost for complex last year, when it was occupied for the first time. continued broadcast from Clement Hall, where ‘No time’ See GUSTAV noogie on page 8!!!!!!!!!!!!! signed the petition) listen to the radio station tour hours a day,” countered Jim Smith, IRC Executive vice-president. He also criticizes the way WIRR convinced people to sign their petition. team of practicing RA’s. They judge the applicant on such things as percepfiveness, introversion versus extroversion, responsibility, commitment, initiative and willingness to learn. Finally, there is a six-week series of meetings with Head Residents and Residence Hall Directors to train the applicants and gain insight into their personalities. “The process is quite selective,” said Mr. Conroy. “Only one out of every six applicants gets the position,” or SO to 60 of the 360 applicants each year. The good and the bad No matter how good the screening process is, there will always be bad RA’s mixed in with the good ones, he admitted. There is, however, a system to check out the existing RA’s and weed out the bad ones. RA evaluation sheets are passed out to dorm students each year. Head Residents are also able to get an idea of the capabilities of each RA by soliciting responses from students who visit him or her. If your RA doesn't fit the description of the “model RA’’ described in this article, you should take steps to rectify the situation. Talk to your head resident, instruct your floor representative to bring it up at the next meeting, see Mr. Conroy at 125 Clement Hall. He welcomes “input from the students.” Remember, your RA is here to serve you. According to Mr. Conroy, “It is your moral obligation to the people on your floor to get your Ra involved.” �Economic forecast Wage-price controls / 1| I ■Wii seen for near future Lee Preston, an instructor in the School of Management, who served on the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) during the Kennedy years, has-predicted that the upcoming economic summit meeting will produce a new “limited control, system” designed to slow down the rate of Lee Preston inflation. Dr. Preston said it was time for such a system to be implemented since controls work best when the economy is in a slowdown, as was the case during Phase II of the Nixon economic plan. “Every study of Phase II shows that it slowed inflation,” he explained. “Unfortunately,” added Dr. Preston, “it was scrapped when it was still working.” He cited the retarding effects the economic guidelines used during the Kennedy and Johnson years had on inflation. What went wrong? The reason that the various phases instituted by the Nixon administration didn’t work, according to Dr. Preston, was because “the people in charge of the system didn’t believe in it.” A conflict arose between high Washington officials, including President Nixon, Treasury Secretary George Schultz, and Herbert Stein, then ft"' ’ . J \Aw CEA chairman, and the people who actually ran the program, he explained. “Those at the top continually denounced the system, undermining its credibility, and in effect, repudiating it when more consistent support could have brought even more success,” said Dr. Preston. President Ford’s appointment of George McCracken to head CEA, “brings economists back to the top,” claimed Dr. Preston. He said that Herbert Stein was more of a “business oriented economist,” not quite the economic professional that McCracken or Wall Heller (CEA chairman under Kennedy) were. Dr. Preston anticipates the establishment of a monitoring committee and the adoption of a program similar to Phase II, heavy monitoring with light control. Wage controls may be a vital part of the new plan, he said, cautioning that to control wages we have to control prices. The control experience has been “favorable,” added Dr. Preston. “We must go back to it, and I think we will.” ‘d n)k jMu*y.i,,w - V /wgi|p^ \ ense f f 1 c by Glenn Englander Spectrum Staff Writer I Sf|lf /; ii ill budget ques oned Controversial B-l bomber opposed by Peace Center by Douglas A.

The B-l appears to have a clear flight to become a different system; the exceptions dominating what used completion because of its strong support by the military-industrial complex, and because of President to be the main mechanism. Ford’s close ties to the Defense Department. A — — - recent study of Mr. Ford’s Congressional voting record show that he voted for the “bread and butter” defense bills in 50 of 5 1 key votes. Opposition The Western New York Peace Center (WNYPC) group that is attempting to terminate the development of the B-l, calling it “a very expensive public works project for the aerospace industry.” The WNYPC, sponsored by the Riverside Salem United Church of Christ, has set up a task force headed by Walter Simpson to organize opposition to the B-l. The objectives of the task force are to stop development of the bomber, educate the public to the effects of the military-industrial complex, and shift federal fiscal priorities to peacetime pursuits. One of the key arguments against the B-l is its enormous price tag. The projected cost has escalated from $9.4 billion to $75 billion, in a recent estimate made in a Princeton University study. The expected cost in mid-1970 was set at $2 billion for research and development (R&D) and $7.4 billion for production. According to a report prepared for Sen. George McGovern (D., South Dakota) and Rep. John Seiberling (D., Ohio), this amount was deceptively low because it did not take inflation into consideration. The report added that ‘‘the B-l program cost is deceptive because it does not include is a costs.” Congress, however, made its first decision to the project on the basis fund of these underestimations. As of April, 1974, the Air Force estimate of R&D costs alone has risen 75 percent to $3.5 billion, while the estimated total cost has escalated from $9.4 to $15 billion. WNYPC claims that taxpayers in Erie and Niagara counties will pay $33 million per year for the next 10 years if the program is approved. Using the $50 billion estimated total, WNYPC estimates that every man, woman and child in the two counties will pay $250 toward “the most expensive weapons system ever.” Mr. Simpson thinks this money can be spent more wisely in humanitarian programs. Morality WNYPC is to confer with planning representatives from the Calspan Corporation to discuss on moral and humanistic grounds the merit of the laser beam research the firm is currently conducting. Calspan, according to the Peace Center, is working on a laser which can be used as an air-to-ground weapon. Dick Charlton, a spokesman for the corporation, declared, however, “I can officially inform you that Calspan is not developing a laser for the B-l.” But Mr. Charlton did acknowledge that Calspan is working on laser research under a contract with the Air Force. He called the project a “laboratory setup” which does not include research for either weapons or guidance systems. The prototype of the B-l was scheduled to be tested on September 29, but the flight has been postponed to a later date. WNYPC plans a ceremony near Buffalo City Hall at the time of the actual test flight. They are hopeful that the Common Council will urge Congress to stop work on the bomber. Buffalo Mayor Stanley Makowski has already called for a reordering of federal priorities away from military expenditure. In addition, a Forum of Human Needs will be at Canisius College on October 19. Fiscal priorities, the B-l bomber and all defense-related spending will be discussed. Area congressmen Thaddeus Dulski, Henry P. Smith, Jack Kemp and their electoral opponents are tentatively expected to attend. When the Military Authorization Bill came before the House of Representatives this summer, all three area congressmen voted in favor of spending another $500 million for continued research and development for the B-l, Congress is now only a year or two away from making a final decision on whether or not to fund the B-l and Mr. Simpson indicated that the more money Congress spends on research and development, the more likely they are to vote for full funding of the bomber. Anyone interested in participating in the fight against the B-l should contact Walter Simpson at 833-0213 and write your congressman. held Wednesday, 25 September 1974 Hie Spectrum Page five . . �DITORIAL Learning from Watergate Now that Richard Nixon will never stand trial, it is even more imperative that the American public be given the fullest disclosures of his crimes so it will have an acute sense of exactly what went astray at our highest level of government. It is simply not enough to blot the scandals from memory, as Gerald Ford and others have been urging. Watergate must be examined as both an extension of Nixon’s twisted mentality and a byproduct of campaign laws that allow large corporations to purchase elections and compromise the actions of Presidents. Since courtroom trials by nature tend to zero in on only the most narrow of facts, those which merely prove a person's guilt or innocence, a special commission should be empowered by Congress with broad authority to dissect the whole Watergate affair. This commission should be chartered to review and correlate all the volumes of material from the Ervin and House Judiciary Committees, and should have the power to call witnesses and compel testimony. Every person in this country should be given access to every scrap of Watergate-related evidence, even if it means allowing them to hear the Nixon tape-recordings. Then and *1 THINK WI TOOK A WRONG TURN TRB only then will we all have the ultimate account of what happened in the White House during the years Nixon was paranoically lashing out at anyone who had the audacity to be with "them" instead of "us." But that is only one small part of it. Knowing the "full story" of Watergate will be absolutely worthless if drastic measures are not taken to prevent such abuses from re-occuring. We have not heard a great deal about strict campaign finance laws since the day Nixon resigned, laws whose absence fomented much of Watergate. Certainly, the time is more than ripe for new regulations that would, if strictly enforced, eliminate the overwhelming disparity in financing that characterizes most elections. Instituting federal financing of election campaigns while outlawing private contributions would put out of business the sale of ambassadorships and virtually eliminate the granting of favors in return for contributions, indiscriminate quashing of the power of in short anti-trust suits, and price-fixing momey that really caused Watergate. Since Nixon's pardon, Congress has been deluged with bills or resolutions that would delay or void the deal under which the former President would assume control of the remaining Watergate tapes and documents. While it is clear that many legislators are anxious to get at the truth of Watergate and prevent future abuses of power, they will have to drastically revamp the present system of financing campaigns if any really positive change is to come out of the last two years. — — The Spectrum Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., has unexpectedly become a one-man sentry warning against the parliamentary system. He is an alert sentry. I find two articles by him in The Wall Street Journal,' another in The Washington Post and now one in The New Republic taking me to task. The warning comes at a sensitive moment as Nixon’s Imperial Presidency collapses, and as the same forces that keep American presidents out of touch with reality seem to be taking effect on decent, modest, light-weight Jerry Ford. The forces are latent in the process of making an idol of the American Priest-President, and then of pulling the idol off his pedistal. It is a cruel process. “The candidate for the presidency does well to recognize that he is running for a religious office,” says Michael Novak in his new book, Choosing Our King. And George Reedy in his splendid little study The Twilight of the Presidency (now in paperback) concludes that “some very fundamental changes are needed in the American political system” changes that might be adapted, he suggests, from the parliamentary system. We have seen five presidents in this century who have lost the capacity to govern Wilson, Hoover, Truman, Johnson and now Nixon. Will Mr. Ford be the next? He will, we fear, if he continues as he has started, unilaterally granting an unconditional pardon to Nixon, making him custodian of the tell taletale tapes, defending the CIA, in its plot to “destabilize” (destroy) the government of independent Chile, and failing to find a firm foothold as yet for dealing with the , — — economy.

Page six The Spectrum Wednesday, 25 September 1974 . . Leaders make mistakes abroad, too. Mr. Schlesinger spends much of his article warning that the British parliamentary system has its own faults. He deserves thanks for keeping the subject alive. We intended to say, and should have made more clear, that we don’t think the U.S. is going to go parliamentary overnight, least of all on the British system. Many U.S. political scientists have tunnel-vision and only see Britain or Europe if you suggest a change in governmental style; Canada is too big and close at hand to see. But England has a unitary system; Canada, like the U.S., has a federal system. And we guess that if Canada had had a scandal like Watergate it would have had an almost immediate vote of no confidence, an election, and it would have disposed of the matter in two months. Mr. Schlesinger makes the same arguments in several of his articles: the loss of a vote of confidence, for example, hasn’t overthrown a British government for half a century (a minority Labor government in 1924). We are sure he is right but it is also true that the loss of such a vote just last Spring in Canada (also a minority government) produced an election. The threat of an election is always present. To get rid of a King you kill him; to get rid of a president you impeach, or threaten to impeach, him. But to impeach you have to prove transgressions, whereas it is almost as serious for the nation to have an honorable president in the White House like Herbert Hoover who has lost his authority. Isn’t there some simpler system? Congressmen like Henry Reuss, Morris Udall and Edith Green want to initiate a presidential recall power in Congress. As Sen. Mondale said last June, “We should look carefully at those aspects of the Parliamentary system which can be creatively adapted to the American experience.” James Sunquist of Brookings, Charles M. Hardin of the University of Chicago, and other, agree. “Under our system,” observes Sundquist, “a Neville Chamberlain who sought to appease Hitler would stay in office for his full term, even if that meant losing a war and the very freedom of the nation.” Mr. Schlesinger says the celebrated question time in Parliament isn’t all that it is cracked up to be. We have heard Canadian friends, too, call it a “charade.” Yet we think that if a back bencher laid down a written question to Prime Minister Trudeau demanding, “Is Canada bombing Cambodia?,” and if Trudeau lied (as Nixon did), he would have been ousted almost instantly when the truth came out. We are not trying to make debaters’ points. We agree with Mr. Schlesinger that the parliamentary system is no panacea and that it may be a golden illusion for some idealists. Yet is has lessons that deserve study. One major advantage in Canada (and in other parliamentary systems) is the separation of head of government and head of state. The ceremonial head of state is Governor General Jules Leger, surrogate of the Queen (salary $50,000); the head of government is the secularized prime minister (salary around $35,000, plus perquisites) who has none of the symbolism, but all of power. Never underestimate symbols, however. Every American child is brought up to revere the presidential idol; he is as sacred as the flag; Nixon always wore a totem enameled flag in his lapel (thank God, Jerry doesn’t). If we had our way we would have some figurehead President, with a big salary and no power, live in the White House and sleep every night in the Lincoln bed and lay cornerstones and lead worship to the awe and vereration of the populace, and we would let some shrewd political leader from Congress head the government, answer opposition questions, consult his cabinet, and fight no confidence votes. We would secularize the Chief Executive. Congress in a year or two, we think, is going to go right back to the habit of handing over its problems to the president. All the pressure is in that direction. George Reedy says that he originally intended to end his book by working out “a system of parliamentary government for America.” He gave it up because he decided that such a change isn’t coming “without a revolution.” He agrees with Arthur Schlesinger on this. But for him the failure is extraordinarily dangerous; the system “isolates the man who holds the nation’s highest office and shields him from reality.” It can’t last. This former adviser to Lyndon Johnson gloomily predicts “a man on horseback In thia probably lies the twilight of the presidency.” With all respect to the optimists, I fear we have learned little from Watergate. If an American Fuehrer appears 50 years hence, some enterprising reporter will dig back in the files and remember that it all began in an administration dedicated to law and order, and that the precedent for imperial pardon was established to spare Richard Nixon a nervous breakdown. ’ „■ ... �There is something passing strange about being on your way out to harvest a country garden only to become enmeshed in a stadium-bound mass of traffic. It is difficult to relate the two rather distinctly different realities in any way. But when you come over the top of the hill on the thruway bound south and have to brake TL abruptly to avoid running into the backend of the last car in a seemingly endless string of them, it becomes somewhat that there must apparent somewhere be a connection. Why else would there be such by Steese an obvious intersection of of energy? streams divergent It would seem that it has something to do with spare time, and how to use it. Or not to. We were hurrying some, since other people had to be back, and we were lucky enough to catch the stadium traffic not only on our way out, but on the way back too. Some friends with extra garden space south of the city let us plant all our squash, and it seemed time to pick it. Which was our somewhat festive reason for being where we were. Why all those other people were there, 4 confess to * /ll*||ITl|'% I# wondering. It was perhaps the difference in the return trip that created a set of musings. We came back with an abundance of goodies, not only our own squash, but corn, beets and other odd vegetables. It was a goodly haul. Granted that the Bills lost, it still seemed as if the cars we began encountering around Orchard Park were not hauling anything of very much use. All may have been gloom because of the loss, but shouldn’t there be some element of enjoyment which lingers on after the last out, or final gun? The question, to at least some degree, seems to be involved with what to do with one’s spare time. The idea of sitting still for several hours to watch a football game is clearly absurd. While the idea of oh, lets say sitting still for even longer to watch the Grateful Dead, makes superb esthetic sense. Which would seem to hint that there are some individual differences at work here. It would be extraordinarily hard for me to pay the going price for a Bills ticket. Asked to pay the same price for the Grateful Dead, it is conceivable that I would grumble about high costs, etc. but I would do so \yhile standing in line to buy tickets. Relevance, relevance, all the worlds but a relevent. It is hard to make an accurate sociological survey of the people you are caught in a traffic jam with. The damned thing keeps ebbing and flowing, one lane spurting ahead only to stop dead as someone ducks into a miniscule hole a mile ahead. It is difficult not to come up with impressions though. Which is that there is a certain strangeness about the way people talk about Buffalo as a “sports town.” The image in my head is always somehow that of a steel worker, still grimy from the plant and still wearing his helmet and goggles, holding a bottle of beef in both hands and profanely cheering his team - — on. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiillllllHlilHIllllHlIllllllllllllllllllllllllllin — Sunday, this seemed to be but another figment of my fertile imagination. Either all of the people who work in heavy industry now live in the suburbs, or else a whole new class of folks have taken up watching professional football. By dress and by car make and type these fellow jamites appeared to be solid middle folk on their way home to a place in some suburb or other. This makes some sense to me, when I recall the appearance of many of the fans who were screaming and beating on each other at the conclusion of the televised Wisconsin-Nebraska game on Saturday. The shots of the stands showed many shaggy looking people being ecstatic as they counted down the final seconds to the upset win by Wisconsin. I mean they looked like real people, but there they stood getting their kicks in the strangest of ways. Sports on television makes much more sense to me. I can sit there and play guitar or darn socks and get up and go to the bathroom or the cookie jar as whim or need move me. And there is not the incredible logistic problem of having to start out what, an hour? ahead of game time to get there on time, and then not getting back to wherever you started out from until much later than the game ends. It would seem very much to be one of those lost days like Thanksgiving, where the entire day is given up to a project, and at the end there is not Down at the bottom really any time for yourself. there is another problem of value, however. This is the gladiator syndrome, as I have just christened it. The whole enterprise of professional football is essentially based on the percept that people will pay money to see other people run into each other, fall on top of each other, and try to avoid being fallen on top of. There are enough odds and ends of weapons and tools of violent sorts around my house for odds and ends of weapons and tools of violent sorts around my house for me to be quite sure that a fair percentage of my nature does all right growling, snarling, and biting, But I am somehow stuck with feeling that bashing a nail into a garage door with a hammer is a more enjoyable pursuit than watching other people maim each other. — — From outside it is hard to ascertain that exact degree of difference involved in people paying large amounts of money to watch Evel Knievel flirt with death in his own way, or to wait with baited breath to see if O.J. Simpson will crawl out from under the latest pile of 275-pound linemen more or less in tact. It is necessary to get physically violent with the ground itself to initially make a garden than one gets to rip the weeds out. And at the end you have to break off or pull up the products of the plant. The result however is a car load of things to fill your stomach with, and even a bunch left over to get part way into the winter. As opposed to whatever it is in terms of memories, or energy, or Karma, that is left to be brought home from a football game. But then, if somebody did not pay for it, 1 wouldn’t have it for Sunday afternoon background noise, would 1? Have a good week, let’s go Bills, Braves and Sabres. (Certainly hope I didn’t leave anyone out!) iwdbaeli—— iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiii Panic Theater auditions To the Editor. 18 and Thursday, Sept. 19, Theater held auditions for this semester’s production, “Kiss Me Kate.” However, we found that not enough males auditioned to conceivably present the show. Therefore, the following actions have been taken: First, “Kiss Me, Kate” was cancelled. Since we still want to present a musical comedy this semester, “Music Man” was adopted. The major reason for this choice was that we will be able to fill its cast. Second, another audition date has been set for Friday, Sept. 27, in 344 Norton. This date will be for those who either wanted to audition for Panic Wednesday, Sept. Panic Theater previously but were not able to, or for those who would like to be in “Music Man” but didn’t want to be in “Kiss Me, Kate.” Those who have already auditioned do not have to audition again. We will use the first set of auditions to cast “Music Man.” If you have not yet auditioned and you would like to be in “Music Man,” please audition Friday. You need no knowledge of the show, no prepared materia), nor any previous theater experience. By auditioning, our constitution guarantees you a place in the production. The Executive Committee of Panic Theater The Pete Hamill Column by Pete Hamill (c) 1974, The New York Post, Inc. “The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is the inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists. ” -Ernest Hemingway, 1935, in Esquire “I don’t give a shit about the Italian lira. ” -Richard M. Nixon, 1973, in the Oval Office The latest round of inflation started in the swamps and jungles of Southeast Asia, where brave young men and women took up the gun to fight the U.S. to a standstill. They were armed with black pajamas, captured weapons and pride; the Americans fought them with the mightiest, most expensive war machine in history. The Viet Cong did not need trucks, planes, tanks or Cam Ranh Bay. The Americans did. But Lyndon Johnson refused to raise taxes to pay for his dirty little war; obsessed with macho politics, suspicious of the American people, unwilling to acknowledge his mistakes, Johnson paid for Vietnam by printing paper money. He took the silver content out of American coins. The dollar no longer promised to “pay to the bearer on demand” a certain amount of silver, and no longer does; there wasn’t enough silver. The Viet Cong fought on, and Johnson spent on, fighting to the last draftee; Nixon and Kissinger came in and did it some more. Today, the Viet Cong stand triumphant in the ruins of Wall Street. � • * There is more to it than that, of course; there always is. The roots of the current difficulties go back at least to the ’20s and ’30s; they might, as the Left has been saying for 100 years, be endemic to the capitalist system itself. We now see that Franklin Roosevelt never did solve the basic problems of the Great Depression; instead, he staved off any threat of domestic revolution and saved capitalism, at least for a while. The Depression finally ended with American entry into World War 11. And not the smallest motive behind the Cold War was to keep a war economy going as long as possible. “War and inflation are particularly old friends,” writes Robert Lekachman, Distinguished Professor of Economics at CUNY, in “Inflation: The Permanent Problem of Boom and Bust.” “Of human activities, wars are by far the most wasteful.” Those wars bring increased prosperity, of course, but as Lekachman points out; “At the same time, the warlike activities which generate the wages and salaries gobble up the raw materials which otherwise would be incorporated into the autos, appliances, furniture, processed foods, and other items for which people endure the tedium of routine labor.” Jerry Ford says that Americans must tighten their belts, but the military budget cannot be touched. That is one of the surest guarantees of continuing inflation, and a deepening depression. In addition to our garrisons at home and around the world, we are now spending $90 billion a year on military junk: bombs, tanks, jeeps, guns, bullets. Since we currently are at war with nobody, this situation is ludicrous. Old people are eating Alpo while generals fly around the country going to air shows. On top of the military budget (from which at least $25 billion must be cut, I’m told, if Ford expects any success at all), there are other problems. The drought in the Mid-west means that basic food prices are going to continue to escalate wildly for the next two years. The Arabs are not about to cut fuel prices to help the countries that plundered them for years. Ford will not roll back the milk prices that Nixon’s corruption increased by $700 million a year. He will not nationalize the oil and gas companies, to bring them under some control, and make their policies somehow coincide with the public good, instead of their lust for private profits. He will not nationalize the airlines, which are panhandling around Washington now for multimillion dollar handouts. He will not impose wage and price controls. So he is left with only one solution. To allow the whole mess to slide, giving the rich some temporary relief by lowering interest rates, and changing the laws on capital gains taxes. But at the same time, he will have to find ways to justify rising unemployment, human suffering, and the resulting panic. Meanwhile, as American citizens find their factories closing, and the lines growing longer at the welfare offices, Nixon will get his payoffs; the CIA will have money to overthrow freely elected governments, the oil companies will continue to fatten their profits. “This time next year,” a Wall Street broker told me yesterday, “we’ll be having food riots.” Anything could happen. Inflation after the French Revolution led to Napoleon. Inflation in the Weimar Republic led to Hitler. At the moment, we have reached only the familiar Depression stage of religious conmen, the current edition of which is the Rev. Moon. But there could be a real man on a white horse gearing up out in those boondocks, and for now, as we try our best to eat and get by, I hope someone is watching the Air Force.

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

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

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

Speakers Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow said that due to a shortage of funds to pay personnel, Campus Security has found it necessary to charge Speakers Bureau for their services during speakers programs. Instead of spending the additional money, Mr. Morrow is seeking alternative means of providing security for these events. such as fines, to punish shoplifters in the Norton Union Bookstore. The Bookstore is referring all its cases to the Student-Wide Judiciary which at present has only two courses of action asking the person to return the item he allegedly took, or suspension or expulsion. — Commuter communication Ad ad hoc committee for commuter students has been formed and will hold a meeting for commuters on Tuesday, September 24 at 3 p.m. Afternoon activities such as mixers, are being planned, but commuter input is needed, stressed Michele Smith, National Affairs Coordinator. Ms. Smith added that it may take a year to obtain lockers for commuters and that the check-room in Norton may be opened as an interim measure. Lockers are also needed for commuters who attend classes held at Ellicott, Howard Schapiro, Student Affairs Coordinator pointed out. Starting today, National Affairs will run a voter registration drive in Norton. SA will open an office in the Ellicott Complex soon, with hours during the afternoon and early Savings Due to additional problems in utilizing Clark Hall for these purposes, Mr. Morrow said that in the future, speakers would be presented in Norton Union’s Fillmore room and broadcast on closed circuit TV in Haas Lounge. This action is necessary to eliminate the $300 fee charged by Maintenance to set up and take down seats in Clark Hall.

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

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

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

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

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

Under the new law, ti will no longer be necessary to waif until age 21 to collect inheritance or damages from an auto accident.

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

The Spartacus Youth League supports the parents of the Center in their fight to maintain a child-care facility. Child care is a democratic right which is necessary not only to students but working-class parents as well, and is an important weapon in fighting the special oppression of women and minorities. The oppression of women in capitalist society stems from the role they are forced to play in the nuclear family and their lack of integration into the work force. While women’s oppression affects women from all social classes, it falls most heavily on working-class women. The fight for women’s liberation must be linked to the struggle of the working-class to create a socialist society where the basis can be laid for the elimination of the bourgeois family through the socialization of housework. Towards this end we demand free 24 hour child care facilities controlled by parents and staff and paid for by the state or employers. The UB Center should not be forced to rely on cooperative service, thus limiting its availability to working women, but should be adequately funded by the university and the state so that it can offer a free service with a full staff of professional help. The struggle for funding must be based on an understanding of the social nature of the problem. As the parents of the Day Care Center correctly pointed out: “We think all the student groups and services should get adequate financial support, not fight among themselves for a few crumbs.” Under capitalism, those crumbs are only grudgingly forthcoming and are quickly taken back when the bourgeoisie can no longer afford such “luxuries” as day care. The liberation of women, the extension of social services, and the productive use of labor are all tied to the fundamental transformation of society and the establishment of socialism. &>a<e- 60M3 10 It Social liberation Spartacus 1 rco In Friday’s issue of The Spectrum (Sept. 13), incorrect information was disseminated in the article concerning Bio 118-119.

They may also contact the Student Advisory Committee. The Chairman is Tim Speciale (839-2352). The students on this committee are very willing to help prospective majors with any problems. The PT Student Advisory Committee to ther ere by Garry Wills President Ford said in his press conference that he meant to continue a policy of openness and candor. But there was nothing very candid about his first answer on the CIA’s crusade against Chile’s deposed and murdered president, Salvador Allende. Ford first said our eight million dollars of CIA money was spent to “take certain actions in the intelligence field.” If Allende’s government had fallen, we would have heard about it, and it would not have cost us eight million dollars to hear about it. The aim was not to find out anything about Allende, but to do him in. Mr. Ford went on to half-admit this, all the while painting our actions in the guise of disinterested love for the free press. We spent money building up Allende’s foes in attacking him, all from a charitable desire “to help and assist the preservation of opposition newspapers and electronic media” a “free” press being, by definition, an anti-Allende press. So much for campaign spending reforms. The next time the government gets after big corporations for underwriting candidates, the officers of such corporations can just say they were being philanthropic and encouraging freedom of the press. (ITT did in fact offer the CIA an extra million dollars for the subversion of the Chilean government, but the CIA thought if would stick with the taxpayers’ money,) Then Mr. Ford made Dr. Kissinger’s distinction between our attacks on Allende and the coup that overturned him. We, he calimed, did not stage or run the coup. We are expected to take the government’s word for that, but various officers of our government also gave their word under oath that we were not financing the opposition, and now it turns out that we were. - Besides, even if we did not pick the specific deposers and equip them directly, our efforts to “de-stabilize” the regime were meant to bring about a crisis leading to Allende’s downfall and a coup was one of the likelier outcomes of this process, if not the very most likely one. It is not only less than candid, it is disgraceful, to pretend we are protecting another people’s liberties when we undermine their economy to “prove” that Communism is bad for them. If Communism were so self-evidently bad, we would not need to help it along in proving its disastrous effects. And we would not have to lie to each other in the process. Mr. Ford’s first answer did not satisfy, so the question was raised again and then he did approach candor on the subject, saying he would not quibble about whether the subversion of other peoples’ governments is “permitted or authorized under international law.” It is “recognized fact” that other governments do it, so we will do it too, for our own best interests. And international law be damned. Mr. William Buckley, once a CIA agent himself, defends the Chile operation by saying that such acts are what the CIA exists for. He is right. And that is why the CIA should cease to exist. It breaks the laws of every country it operates in, beginning with our own and makes any pretense to international morality simply ludicrous on our part. Through the CIA we proclaim a licensed thuggery to all the world. We got along for a century and a half without an international secret police force; and it is only after we learned to live with one that we started toying with the idea of a domestic secret police plan. The development is not accidental. We had to be conditioned to our various Howard Hunts. We had to deserve them before we got them. Now we better deserve to be rid of them, and all their ilk, and all their works. — - - Name withheld upon request Monday, 23 September 1974 . The Spectrum .

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

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

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

The suit, filed with Treasury-Secretary William Simon, asks that the government terminate revenue sharing assistance unless “the city takes immediate affirmative action to end the racially and sexually discriminatory practices associated with its Police and Fire Departments. Discriminatory practices The New York Civil Liberties Union, serving as counsel in the action, charges that the specific discriminatory practices of those departments include the failure or refusal to recruit and hire Blacks and persons of Puerto Rican origin on an equal basis with others. The suit also cites hiring practices that have discriminated against women. The NYCLU has also accused the city of failing or refusing to establish valid qualifications and standards which are sufficiently objective to prevent continued Complaints include police and fireman Among the suit’s complainants are BUILD, the NAACP, The National Organization of Women, the Western New York Peace Center, Assemblyman Arthur O. Eve, Theodore Kirkland and James Gians of the Buffalo Police Dept., and Donald Summers of the Fire Department. The suit names Mayor Stanley Makowski, the police and fire commissioners, and several Civil Service personnel directors as respondents. According to Killian Vetter, executive secretary of the local NYCLU chapter, the suit is not designed to close City Hall. He likens it instead to the withholding of federal funds from segregated school districts as a means of forcing reform. Repayment of S17 million Should the city fail to correct the practices alleged in the suit, complaintants will seek the cessation of future revenue sharing and try to force the repayment of $17 million that had been allocated by Buffalo to its Police and Mayor Makowski Fire Departments. Thomas Kobus, counsel to Mayor Makowski, has noted in the city’s defense that “the New York State Constitution and State Civil Service Laws constrain the city” in its hiring practices. He added that the city will contest the cuit and that the proper respondent for such a suit is the State of New York, since the city only follows state hiring guidelines. Health services at a price students can afford about rape, feminism and other areas of human sexuality. The Blood Assurance program, under the auspices of the Buffalo Chapter of the American Red Cross, makes for any member of the it possible University community and his direct by Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Because a healthy mind only functions in a healthy body, the State University at Buffalo offers a wide range of health services designed to meet the particular needs and budgets of students. These health services were created to wipe out the notion that “what a student can afford to pay and what the service costs is usually out of alignment, according to A1 Campagna, director of Sub Board’s Health Care Division, Mr. Campagna said that while the majority of student illnesses are “acute” (of short duration), if they remain untreated, they can become quite serious. “Strep throat could develop into rheumatic fever which could develop into heart disease,” he commented. The University thus allows students to attend to their health needs at a price they can afford. Funding set Mr. Campagna does not anticipate any problems funding the Sub-Board sponsored health facilities this year, all of which are income-offset. “We were told at the last State University of N("’Ew York (SUN't Board of Trustees meeting that expenditures of student mandatory lees for the provision of health services to students could reasonably be assumed to fall within existing mandatory fee guidelines,” he said. However, he feels the chances of obtaining additional funds from the State for the Michael Hall facility are practically “nil1.” “The State doesn’t feel one of its dutiies should be the provision of health family to receive an unlimited blood supply free of charge anywhere in the U.S. and Canada.

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

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

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

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

Going Places is Bertrand Blier's film chronicle of the meanderings of these two zany heroes as they steal cars, break into houses, and drive a series of unfortunate women into varying degrees of hysteria. The grim ugliness of this devilish duo and its exploits is punctuated by frequent bursts of slapstick humor which, while they make the film more Road pictures Perhaps difference between Going other films iof its young-losers-on-the-road genre lies in the fact that we are never asked to identify with its anti-heroes.

The secret of the Pyramids? Stonehenge? What to do at a boring concert? It is doubtful whether these perennial questions will ever be solved, but I certainly gave the last question a lot of thought last Sunday night. The New Riders of the Purple Sage started the show off with a bang, arriving over an hour late (I hear their truck broke down in Rochester). Nevertheless, they were given a wildly enthusiastic reception by all the cowboys and girls who were there to enjoy no matter what happened. The band opened with "I Don't Know You," and people were already hooting, clapping, stamping and dancing. As for me, the first problem I ran into was the sound system (credit goes to Phoenix Associates). All I could hear was a jumble of noise, so I started walking around the gym to try to find a good place to listen. I finally found it about half an hour later, way in back, directly in the line of one of the speaker stacks. Now I could hear what they were playing. It wasn't worth the effort. All the same The problem was not with the music per se. All the members of the band are very competent (in fact, the steel pedal and lead guitarists are excellent). But every song sounded exactly the same. Same straight ahead 4/4 drum lines (whether slow or fast), same bass lines, same chord patterns, same strumming techniques, same type of melody lines, same type of vocal harmonies oh, those vocals. Perfectly on pitch, of course, a wonderful three-part blend, but no expression. (Excuse me, there was some expression, but it was exactly the same for each song a shortly plaintive tone, I think). They sounded just about as bored as I — — felt. Also, for the most part, the Riders ran through their songs as if they were simply reproducing the album cuts.

You have to sing along. Bearable at best The fast bluegrass instrumental tunes were bearable, because the their individual virtuosity best thing about the band came into play. And at least I could tap my foot. Forget about the slow ones. The one song that does stick in my mind is "Portland Woman." It was the only song in which the Riders took an extended break, and even though it was very reminiscent of the Dead, it was interesting. I never would have believed that I would complain about a band playing too long, but I guess you learn something new every day. In the spirit of the source from whence they came (i.et, the Grateful Dead), the Riders played an hour set, took an intermission, then played another set. They had been going at it for two hours when I left at 11:30 (my informers tell me that it went on until midnight). I don't know. The crowd loved 'em, but I just couldn’t take any more. — — Excuse me So. What to do at a boring concert.

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

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

An isolated incident? That’s what I thought until I walked by a playground on Lisbon Avenue last Sunday. Since school was not in session (meaning no adult supervision), the neighborhood kids had erected a mini-ramp, using a few discarded automobile tires as supports. Each kid (the oldest may have been 10) charged the ramp at break-neck speed, perhaps not realizing or caring that its flimsy support could give way at the moment of take-off. Kids never worry about getting hurt though. It’s fun they’re interested in and they were having fun pretending to be Evel Knievel. Evel must be doing pretty well for himself too.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My friends and I decided not to pay, so we missed the film. 1 wonder how many others felt obliged to pay since they may have traveled to the campus from other points in the city?

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

The process of applying for Food Stamps often proves frustrating . After a client contacts the Erie County Social Services Food Stamps office for an as long as six weeks for an interview. If eligible, he must wait two more weeks to receive authorization to buy the stamps at a local bank. Since all authorizations are issued on the same day, recipients may face long lines at the bank.

Further advice One student who presently receives food stamps advised, “Make sure you bring bank books, phone bills, rent receipts and proof of other expenses and assets to the first appointment.” Receipts are essential if tuition is to be considered as a deductable expense.

The cycle is made available to the metropolitan Buffalo and University community through the generosity of the late Frederick and Alice Slee. Sunshine House, the State University at Buffalo’s crisis intervention center, recently entered its third year of helping students and community members cope with the problems of modern life. The center plans to continue its 24-hour, seven-day a week service. Located on 106 Winspear, Sunshine House was founded in the spring of 1971 as an Acid Rescue Center. Since then, drug crisis counseling has been supplemented by a broad range of other services, including emotional and other drug-related problems. Sunshine House volunteers are trained for crisis intervention, with special emphasis on sensitivity training. In addition, there is a doctor on call 24 hours a day, and referrals to other agencies are provided when necessary. Police agencies are never contacted and all matters are kept strictly confidential. Sunshine House is currently ■till iTS MK planning several projects to improve their service to a larger community, said Dave Corbin, Internal Project Head. Center members are looking into the possibility of a free, once a week medical clinic. A family counseling program to help resolve communications problems within families is also being Investigated. In addition, women volunteers are becoming involved with the Erie County Citizens Against Rape, a group which counsels rape victims. To ensure that the volunteers are properly equipped to handle the problems they might encounter, some will be trained by members of the National Drug Abuse Training Center in Washington, D.C. Some volunteers may also be sent to the Casaelya Center for additional sensitivity training. Applications will be taken from prospective volunteers until October 16, and training sessions will begin the following week.

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

Vandusen said many businessmen stop in before and after work either for a shave or even a quick swim in the pool. He also noted that many senior citizens come down, not only to use the facilities, but to socialize as well. In fact, there seems to be no homogeneous group of people that goes to spas.

Obviously people are not joining spas because they think it’s a bargain. According to one member of the ‘spa set,’ “You could do just about as well in a weight room in a gym.” Yet the tremendous boom in the spa industry over the last few years means that the spas have something unique to offer. One spa goer said “motivation by association” and a “change in atmosphere” attracted him. Other members cited relaxation, getting in shape, vanity, physical fitness.

Its goals as an organization are twofold; 1. Community service 2. Independent practical education CAC operates on the premise that the effective utilization of University resources, i.e., student volunteers, can contribute to the alleviation of many symptoms of our an social problems. Also, we feel that only integration of many theoretically based classroom learning and practical community experience will a student realize full development. Thus, involving students in the community develops a reciprocal relationship beneficial to both. Essential to the realization of these goals, though, is commitment by the volunteer worker of both time and energy. CAC believes that the only way to institute real change within a community is to understand the complex connections between economic, political and social workings. CAC is therefore in a constant state of involving itself in and considering new facilities, services and contacts in the community, allowing us to further grasp the many obstacles that have to be an alive, on-going center for and all resources, materials, people and ideas. Below are some commonly asked qustions about CAC: I. Can I receive academic credit? Through two bulletin board courses, CAC offers credit to project heads and resource assistants. CAC also maintains a listing of faculty members who are willing to sponsor students for independent study. 2. How is CAC organized? CAC is structured into (1) projects, and (2) resource contacts. (1) Projects are ongoing, CAC organized activities in which groups of students identify objectives and act strategically to effect their purposes. (2) Resource contacts are available community established placements where a student worker can act on bis own, and be part of an organized group of people who are all working in the same service. Resource aides, as their part in the CAC organization, are constantly investigating and making new resource contacts in the community. 3. How much time is required for volunteer work? Although exceptions to the requirement can be found, the general time requirement is one semester and four hours per week. 4. Why should I volunteer through CAC? By %naintaining the diversified program of community projects and resources, CAC attempts to provide an outlet for students to express their interests and knowledge via community service. Often, we cannot predict every interest of every student. Consequently, CAC stresses that if a student’s individual needs are not reflected by the projects and resources in the brochure, he/sbe should still contact CAC to volunteer; CAC has contacts or resource aides will seek out additional resource contacts to provide the student with the opportunity to work in the community. Furthermore, since all of the CAC projects in the community conduct ongoing, well organized, and planned activities, the liklihood of serious mistakes, failures and frustrations is greatly reduced. CAC is geared toward and structured by the needs of its volunteers. The organization arranges transportation for students, either by using the CAC van, arranging car pool, or reimbursing volunteers for transportation expenses. CAC supports the volunteers by coordinating orientation sessions and in-service training seminars; these are to provide some prospective on the nature of the problems in the community. The following are detailed descriptions of the seven program areas of CAC. For more information, or to volunteer, Community Action Corps can be contacted at Room 345 Norton Hall, SUNY at Buffalo, New York 14214; or call 831-5595 or 831-3609. Please join us. �* • are not, why aren’t the law* being enforced? What is needed most, however, is initiative and creativity and we welcome any constructive ideas for active projects. Action Program Advocacy Rapid Page two Community Action Corps Fall Programs 1974 . the United Cerebral Palsy Western New York Peace Center The Western New York Peace Center is a community organization which promotes programs and local activities concerned with peace and social justice. The Center’s programs include; working to end continuing U.S. involvement in Indochina; providing medical relief for war victims; working for an unconditional amnesty; participating in a national campaign to stop the funding of the Air Force’s $50-billion B-l bomber program. The major emphasis of this latter program involves advocating the need to convert our social, economic and political system to one which is based on peace and human dignity. In this respect, the Peace Center works with local community groups to re-order national priorities so that human and social needs here in the Niagara Frontier are better served by our tax dollars. Students are needed to work with Peace Center task forces and to organize campus events for the university community. Given imagination, persistence, and interest in non-violent peace and social justice traditions, opportunities for learning and meaningful volunteer work are unlimited. change. Environmental Action In an attempt to come to grips with the problems facing us in ecology, and with a desire to curb the injustices done to our environment, this committee actively seeks student input to work with the university and community - in developing a stable relationship in a deteriorating society. Realizing the diverse areas which such a committee encompasses, we have directed our efforts to effecting positive social change through specific projects. In the past we have concentrated on glass, paper and Christmas tree recycling. Last semester a major effort dealt with the development of efficient bikeway routes throughout the city, and in particular on the Main Street and Amherst campuses. This upcoming semester will see an expansion into the field of furnace and chimney ingfwrion: Are Buffalo's major indistries adhering to the guidelines established for various pollutants? And if they Committee of Association There are many public buildings in Buffalo that are inaccessible to handicapped people. One prime example is City Hall. There are no building codes which require changes to be made inexisting buildings to make them readily accessible to handicapped people. One goal of the Advocacy Committee is to support legislation that would benefit physically handicapped people, as well as to come up with ideas for new laws. Presently, the group is involved with changing building codes, so that all public buildings will have facilities for the physically handicapped. Volunteers will work along with handicapped adults, helping in the actual legal process, as well as being there to give moral support. Some things they may be expected to do are; attend meetings, research laws and help write letters to legislators. This project offers interested students the opportunity to work with groups of people who have previously been discriminated against because of their not having a vocal representation in most building plans. - Women's Seif Help Clinic One aspect of the Women’s Movement is the establishment of self help clinics which are oriented toward the goal of enabling women to engage in preventive medicine and self-examiniation, especially in the area of gynecology. This idea was conceived to help relieve the feeling of helplessness and submissiveness women feel when a health problem materializes. Thwarted by the myth that medical institutions must have the monopoly in health concerns, we are working toward a sense of autonomy and a feeling that the individual can actively participate in self-help maintenance. No such clinic exists in Buffalo. Many women from university and community groups have been doing preliminary research into starting a clinic. Volunteers are needed to continue ongoing research, and make contact with the university community. Research can also be done in specific areas, such as nutrition, which will expand the knowledge and service of the clinic. Students are needed who are reliable and committed to working on this idea. and, working with the community, assess the needs for a certain area. Research also needs to be done concerning Buffalo laws for planning parks. Hopefully, with this information action can be taken to propose plans for the city to implement. Introduction If the Community Action Corps is to be an effective community force, it must aim a substantial part of its energy toward achieving an awareness of the scope of situations with which it is dealing, and of course, toward positive social change. The task of helping people, whether it be in terms of tutoring a child or caring for the aged, is valid. But, if it is seen as the only goal or the final goal, then CAC has failed even before it has begun. If we are satisfied with looking at surface problems and solving surface problems, we are merely satisfying ourselves, perpetuating a corrupt system, and using the unfortunate circumstances of others to build up our own public image. Action projects are concerned with current issues in the community. Often these issues are complicated in nature and long range in effects. It must be realized that an Action volunteer will not be able to “change the world” in a semester, however, through research, working in conjunction with community groups, internships, and self-initiated projects, students in the Action area seek to more clearly define issues, educate, gain experience in the field, and work toward the goal of effecting positive social Transit Task Force With the proposeal for a Buffalo-Amherst rapid transit corridor, many community factors have come to the front. How will rapid transit affect this university and the entire social setting? Are business interests going to dictate the needs of the community at the expense of social environmental concerns? The university is planning to move the majority of its facilities to the new North' Campus in Amherst. This past semester extensive research was undertaken to assess student travel and housing patterns in order to determine the impact rapid transit will have on the daily lives of future students. In particular, an emphasis was placed on the transit fare; whereas a free inter-campus transport system exists now, it seems that future students will be faced with yet another expense in obtaining a college education. In addition, we have actively supported No Overhead Transit (NOT) and other community groups in their struggle toward the creation of a humanly efficient and neighborhood-conscious transit system. This upcoming semester we hope to sit down with the SUNYAB administration and the Niagara Frontier Transit Authority (NFTA) and work out an equitable solution for a just fare with regard to student patronage. Interested students are needed to do further research, monitor the decisions being made about rapid transit, assist local groups, and educate the student community. ' Buffalo Environmental Management Commission. They will research land to be used for possible park development Creative Social Planning The Village of Kenmore is building a 10-story apartment complex for fully mobile elderly people. Before the building is opened next year, many aspects must be looked into so that the people will feel comfortable and also get the best possible services. Some things to be looked into are; where the people are coming from, their reactions to the neighborhood and building, investigating existing services, and determining needed ones. Hopefully we will be able to provide the people with exciting ideas of things to do to help insure that they don’t experience the feeling of alienation that can come from high rises. Creative volunteers are needed to help gather background information and synthesize everything into interesting ideas and plans. We will be working withthe Kenmore Housing Authority which has expressed a sincere interest in the welfare of these people. Volunteers are expected to come to meetings and to be willing to put in several hours of work a week. Energy Council The CAC Energy Council is a newly formed project, adopted this past semester as a means of dealing with the present energy crisis. We are basically concerned with two things: community'education and examining present and future energy techniques. Council members will hopefully be available to speak to local groups on any aspect of energy, with the onjective of making the public aware of the variou energy forms. In conjunction with other concerned energies, we will be setting up experimental energy devices on about 12 acres of land called Ecolation Park, to be donated by the New York State Parks Department. Students and faculty with a background in the energy field are particularly engouraged to get involved, but anyone concerned with the energy crisis is welcome to work in either program. Open Spaces There are many areas of land in Buffalo, owned by the dty, that are not being used for anything. Instead of allowing this space to go to waste, as has been done in the past, we wish to investigate die possibilities of creating parks and recreational areas to be used by the people who live nearby. Volunteers will be working in cooperation with the Urban Affairs Project The City of Buffalo is an excellent natural setting to study the wide spectrum of urban related problems. CAC, along with other university and community organizations, will undertake a major project that will attempt to grapple with foreclosed and abandoned houses and lots in the central city area. There are several communities in the city designated as "high-risk" areas by various banks and real estate agencies. Because of this stigma, it is almost impossible for people living there to get mortgage or home improvement loans. Any plans of improving their neighborhood are easily stifled. There is much preliminary research to be done and volunteers will be expected to seek out and organize information. One possible strategy involves forming a not-for-profit corporation to plan and develop the neighborhood. If this test project is successful, its effect on the city of Buffalo, as well as other metropolitan areas, will be significant In order to make it work, we desperately need people with interests in organization, law, planning, government, economics, and research. There is a possibility that university credit will be available to participants. For information, contact the CAC office. Community Internships One vision of CAC is to see the university as an integral part of the entire Buffalo community. We feel the university can offer a wealth of resources to assist in the social growth and development of the area. We also find that the community can provide students With the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in a practical situation. By becoming intimately involved in working with one of the many social service agencies, student volunteers can develop a deeper understanding of the issues and problems in Buffalo as they relate to the people who are directly affected by them. These agencies specifically deal with legal problems, housing problems and general community assistance. Although still in its planning stage, this project seeks reliable volunteers for placement in an agency of their choice. Specific tasks may include researching topics, providing services to people, and assisting in the daily operations of the agency. Time arrangements are variable, but it is hoped that volunteers can devote approximately ten to fifteen hours a week. Hopefully independent study credit will be available. The potential for learning, as well as a rewarding personal experience, is unlimited. �CareProgram Day 1525 Millersport Highway KIDDIE KORAL Kiddie Koral, a day care center located near the Amherst campus, is a creative learning program geared to the interest level and growth needs of children 1l A to 5 years old. The center strives to promote sound physical, intellectual, social, and emotional growth of children during the early formative years. Volunteers are needed at anytime during the morning or afternoon and are encouraged to work at least two to four hours a week in order to become familiar with the unique environment of the center, staff members and children. Volunteers will take part in a brief orientation to the area of day care in general and of this particular program. Volunteers will work along with qualified staff members in helping to guide and instruct the children in their daily activities. A typical schedule involves such activities as arts and crafts, music, language arts, math concepts and reading readiness. Through their work, volunteers will learn how to plan instructional programs for children at this age level, and will also gain a greater knowledge of pre-school children, their problems and abilities. - NIAGARA DAY CARE CENTER 605 Niagara Street This is a racially integrated day care center caring for inner city children between the ages of two and five. At the center the volunteer is needed during the morning or afternoon periods in order to relieve the workload of the staff, but more importantly, to work closely with the - children. Thus the children receive much more individual attention, a necessity for the young child who might not ordinarily receive this attention. The structure of the Niagara Center is such that it provides the teachers and children with a basic guideline' to follow but is flexible enough to allow the volunteers to bring forward their own ideas and to do innovative and interesting things with the children. During the typical day the volunteer might help the children with a special project, read them a story or just generally assist the children in their various activities. In the 2-4 hours during which the volunteer works weekly, he will feel a sense of fulfillment at having done something that will reward him with the satisfaction of being needed and appreciated at a job that really requires doing. There is no formal orientation, just a chance for involvement in a worthwhile task. 455 WALLS MEMORIAL HEADSTART PROGRAM near Jefferson Avenue, Glenwood This program provides a widely varied learning situation for pre-schoolers and equips them with concepts which will be useful and necessary to their later educational experiences. Volunteers are needed to provide additional staff to better allow a one-to-one contact of child to adult and thus enable each child to receive the individual attention he needs. Objectives can be as far reaching as the individual volunteer would like since he is allowed to take on as much responsibility as he feels comfortable. The situation is flexible and therefore the commitments and attainments can be as flexible as working with an individual child to conducting the entire class in a given lesson or concept. As previously mentioned, the work of the volunteer - may vary constantly in each individual case. The center is open to new ideas and suggestions from volunteers and expect does not simply want babysitters, but people who s the children to increase helping involved in to be actively awareness. There is an expected commitment of three hours or more during which the volunteer can expect a great deal of personal fulfillment. Unlike other centers where volunteers are merely aides, Walls offers the volunteer an opportunity to try out his own ideas and to really get involved with the the volunteer is given tremendous freedom of children expression. The program may specifically appeal to students interested in early child education, child development or any other related area but is not restricted to any class of students nor are there any special requirements. There will be no training, only a brief orientation meeting. - PROJECT CONTACTS 87 Cayuga and Milton in CORNERHOUSE NURSERY Williamsville Contact Ms. Drinnan. Volunteers are needed to act as teachers’ assistants on Monday and Friday mornings. - UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NURSERY SCHOOL 1900 Sweethome Road Volunteers are needed on weekday mornings. Contact Sandy Honig, Director - WESTSIDE COMMUNITY CENTER Volunteers are needed to help members research and plan the opening of a new day care center. For further information, call the CAC Office. Drug and Youth Counseling Programs Drug Related: CAC volunteers in drug and youth counseling serve in a number of diverse and challenging positions in a wide variety of agencies. These range from a center for alcoholics on Buffalo’s "skid-row” to a crisis hotline that handles a spectrum of problems that would baffle "Marcus Welby”, to a shelter for runaway youths. The Drug and Youth Counseling resource aides will discuss with volunteers the pros and cons of each agency and aid the volunteer in selecting the appropriate position in which the volunteer can experience a growth in human education and become an effective community resource. The needs of these projects are continuous and demanding; all projects are in need of dedicated volunteers who must usually attend a training program that emphasizes counseling skills with special orientation to that center’s problems and clientele. Some projects demand 4 hours every week, some are not so stringent. All require a commitment for at least six months, many for a year. A partial listing of our agency contacts are 1. Alcoholic-Related a. Night People Drop-in Center b. Erie County Rehabilitation Center 2. Youth Counseling.(also involves some drug counseling) a. Compass House 5 Buffalo Area b. YMCA Counseling Centers Side, Amherst Buffalo, Tonawanda, South East centers: and Cheektowaga 3. Crisis and Emergency Counseling a. Suicide Prevention and Crisis Service b. Sunshine House 4.

Fri., 1-5,5-10 Purpose of the project: The purpose of this project is to train volunteers in It the setting up of a drug counseling program for students. “hot line use of the is to acquaint and train them in the to answer questions and give assistance to people in need of help. Purpose of volunteers: by To carry out the goals and objectives of the project youth, for counseling personal information, providing adults and families; emergency counseling to help handle “bad trips,” violent or suicidal cases, and overdose cases; help the community to develop programs in alternatives to referral drug use, i.e., more art and/or drama groups; have problems, services for individuals and families who - questions or concerns about mental health services available in the Western New York area; to assist staff members in outreach work in the community, and to free staff members from center duties during counseling appointments and emergencies. Counseling will be primarily through phone contact in the form of crisis intervention. Volunteers must work at least one shift each week. Supervision will be provided. Erie County Rehab Center The Erie County Rehabilitation Center (Rehab Center) is a public shelter for the homeless and/or alcoholic men. The clientele range in age between 20-70 years old with a range in personality as wide. From the skid row alcoholic to men who work regularly but have no other place to live. Although alcohol appears to be a major problem, it is not the only one. Also included is a number of "psyche cases” that were either discharged from the State Hospital or through time became one. The volunteer can look forward to a very diverse group ofclientele. The CAC project is aimed at providing a non-alcoholic related social outlet for the clientele. Without the volunteers, the social outlets are few, mainly because of the Rehab Center being understaffed due to a poor budget. Though there are only male clientele, male and female volunteers are welcomed. They can help in recreation, which ranges from weekly bingo games to nightly ping-pong. Also available will be the use of the gym facilities at the Buffalo State Hospital. This would then add basketball, swimming, bowling, etc. to the recreation program. There is an informal training program present at the center with reimbursements provided for transportation. The times the volunteer can come remains flexible. However, we’re trying to get volunteers in time slots close together so we are able to work as a team, with group efforts and results. Since the volunteer program is accepted by the staff, volunteers are welcome to attend or start any activities that they feel might benefit the clientele. A word of caution: Volunteers must always keep in mind that they are limited in what they can accomplish in way of rehabilitation. Because of the somewhat “inadequate” facilities, volunteers must not enter the project with high expectations. The project’s main outlet to rehabilitate will come mainly through recreation or whatever type of relationship the volunteer will build with the client. We urge the volunteers to build a "buddy system” with one or two of the clients, so in time of decision, they will have a great influence in the results. Hopefully, with this type of relation, they can be more effective at "rehabilitating” that particular client. Through this type of experience, the volunteer develops a better insight not only to the difference in people, but it also makes them ask, what is the “real” difference, that is is there really any difference between the man in City Hall and the man at 219 Elm? - Night People Drop-In Center Director: Thomas Kreuder Address: 50 W.

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

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

The Alternative Education Committee developed from a desire on our part to insure the existence of viable alternative forms of education. As “products" and students of the present educational institutions (public, private and parochial), we see schools far too often as the very organizations that serve to stifle a child’s imagination, curiosity and desire to know and master his or her environment. We feel that schools, as the vehicles of socialization and socio-economic tracking in our society, all too frequently produce angry, frustrated, lonely children/adults who have been denied self-actualization and the development of feelings of self-worth. We believe that other forms of education need to be developed to offer alternatives to the present structure. The Committee was formed in mid-November in response to the interest shown after Jonathan Kozol’s speech at this University. We developed a working nucleus of 10 community people; graduate students from the Education Administration and Elementary Education Departments, undergraduates, a public school substitute teacher, a high school student, and a teacher from one of the local alternative schools. We have relied heavily on outside resource people who have been able to aid'our efforts. In answer to the alternative school’s need for money and resources, we felt that our energies could best be directed toward struggling to survive in a threatening antagonistic environment. We spent the next four months gathering information, visiting the schools, speaking with parents and teachers and finally organizing a structure in which representatives from the alternative schools could come together to work collectively for the benefit of their students. The school representatives have already assumed total responsibility for developing structures and bylaws so that our role in the coalition is now one of acting as facilitators and resource aides. Because our role in the coalition has changed, we have now started several other projects. We are developing a library of books, magazines, and materials dealing with alternatives in education. A list of non-sexist, non-racist and non-agist childrens’ books is being compiled. We arc going to "broaden our horizons” by writing to newsletters, magazines and schools all over the country to let them know what we are doing here in Buffalo and to rind out what’s going on in other cities. There also seems to be a need for teachers, parents and kids to share educational resources and materials. For this purpose, we would like to start developing a resource center in Buffalo. It is unfortunate but not accidental that people in power would like to keep us divided and thinking that there are no strong movements towards radical change in this country. It is time we realize that there are thousands of people with various skills working desperately in the field of education to find some sort of sanity and clarity for their children and themselves. We’re interested in expanding the Alternative Education Committee. Anyone who would like to participate and suggest new ideas is more than welcome. C. ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION - In the area of education and special education, we require that people commit themselves for an entire semester and that they work twice a week so that there is some continuity between worker and child. It is necessary to state what days and hours you will be available, so that staff members and children can arrange appropriate placements and activities. Plans are being made for seminars and coffee hours for all people involved in all hours and expecially where an interest to assemble is expressed. The contact names and programs listed above are only some possibilities of work placements or capacities of work. We welcome any ideas and are in a constant state of change ourselves, we find it at times confusing and chaotic but always energizing and alive. Black Rock BLACK ROCK EDUCATION CENTER Education Center began in July 1974 and will be continuing throughout the 1974-75 school year. The Education Center, located in Ripley Methodist Memorial Church on East Street, is run as an open classroom with mini-centers in math, reading and science. Children between the ages of 4 and 14 come to the center after school from 4-6 p.m. on Mon/Wed. to get help with development of particular skills which the children and parents recognize as needed. Volunteers will be working within a particular interest area creating mini-curriculums for small groups of children who they will be working with. Transportation will be provided.

Volunteers are needed in companionship programs (one-to-one with a specific client), communication skills, tutoring, O.T., recreation, blind program, geriatrics, day care, and family care. A volunteer need only give a limited amount of time per week, (one or two hours a week), provided it is done on a regular basis. The hours are usually flexible and can be arranged once the volunteer is placed. Volunteers should be willing to make at least a two semester commitment. This project is unique in that it provides the volunteer with a view of the state mental institution and the clientele it serves. Although there is no formal training session, supervision is given at the professional and paraprofessional level. The project itself also holds monthly meetings which give its volunteers a chance to discuss their experiences at the hospital. City transportation is available as well as the Elmwood-Bell campus bus. It stops about four blocks from the State Hospital. - This group BUFFALO STATE HOSPITAL GROUP until 9:00 or from 7:00 Wednesday evenings p.m. meets 10:00 p.m. The majority of group members are former patients of Buffalo State Hospital; some inpatients also attend. Ages range from 20 to members in their 50’s and 60’s. The group's purpose is to provide a warm social setting, in which people can talk freely to one another and enjoy both planning and participating in activities - together. One major goal for this year is to increase interaction between all members of the group, volunteers and former patients. Some of the members’ social skills are rusty, and it is important that volunteers be patient in listening. Group activities are planned jointly. Another goal is to increase group participation in all planning. Many of the members are in the process of reconstructing their lives, attempting to find a job, gain vocational training or re-enter college. Above all this Wednesday evening should be a time of encouragement and acceptance. In the past year various group activities have included swimming, picnicking, dinners, dances, singa-longs, horseback riding and movies. We need committed and innovative volunteers to strengthen communication within the group and to work on new ideas. If you are interested, please contact CAC and leave a message for Robin Harris. THE CANTALICIAN CENTER FOR LEARNING 3233 Main St., Buffalo, 14214 General purposes and goals: The paramount purpose is to provide rehabilitative, educational and utilitarian instruction to the handicapped students so that they may become participating members of their community. Our goal is to help provide these mentally retarded chilren with a foundation and background of a variety of skills to use and build upon when they graduate. Objective of the volunteer: The volunteer is indispensible to the Cantalician Center for Learning because he can provide the extra rehabilitation and instruction for the child, augmenting that of the teacher. Perhaps the volunteer's individual encounters with the child or his personalized therapies will further increase and stabilize the child’s knowledge. The volunteer can attain self-fulfillment and satisfaction within himself after he has worked with a mentally retarded child. It is an interpersonal process of “giving” established between the volunteer and the child. Volunteers are given a variety of opportunities in which to assist at the center. They can work within a classroom, with the class as a whole or, if they prefer, they may single out an individual child on a one-to-one basis. These activities range from learning to distinguish colors to tying a shoe. Those volunteers with specific interests such as speech therapy, physical therapy, art* dance, etc. are given an opportunity to do work in their intended field by planning and executing therapeutic methods of their own choice. The specialized therapies in the school include a language department, where the emphasis is on developing and remediating the speech and language of the chilren; a perceptual motor development department, where a combination of physical and occupational skills are used; a creative arts class, where dance therapy is utilized as a form of expression for the child; physical education; and specialized remedial reading skills are used for training purposes. This project is unique because its emphasis is not ¥ Pagtfi&f ®ribntliiiiy VMMk'&bp* ail Programs i9f74 n to academic, but rather a total effort to train the child cannot be This potential perform to his fullest potential. realized without the assistance of volunteers.

Each week we will try to offer specific porjects so that the activitiy can accomplish certain pre-set goals and be worthwhile to the children. Since we will be working at a state institution, the whole atmosphere will be different from that of private institutions. People who have not had the experience of working at a state hospital will And the whole structure of operations a learning experience in itself. Most of the wards have 25-30 children and 2 nurses at night. The ward we will be working in will consist mainly of mongoloid and mentally retarded chidren. Anyone interested in special education can gain a good insight into the effects of institutional living. The children are starving for love and attention, and just your physical presence will make them happy. Some of the children have specific psychological and neurological disorders. The nurses’ job is nr-'inly maintenance because of the child-adult ratio, and we could help out by giving the children some of the attention they desperately need. One thing to stress is the commitment a volunteer is making to the children once he/she joins this project. Many of the children mark the beginning of the week by the day the volunteer comes. It is very sad to see a child disappointed because their friend didn’t show up. Transportation will be provided and the project will be on either Wed. or Thurs. night from 6-8 p.m. (we will leave Norton at 5:30). SELF HELP — Self Help has no location, but its volunteers will find themselves working at different social functions. Its purpose and goals center around involving handicapped men and women in the community. It is an effort to help them leave their homes for recreation and meetings. There is a group of people who try desperately to get together to organize activities and help for the handicapped in the Buffalo area. The volunteers will accopany the handicapped to these meetings and social functions in the hope that they will leam more about how to deal with someone with a phsycial handicap. Volunteers must work a minimum of 4 hours a month. Self Help is the only project dealing with the handicapped living at home. It provides the service of getting them back into the community. Legal and Welfare Rights CAC has contacted or has been contacted by various groups working in Buffalo in the area of legal and welfare rights. Descriptions of these programs are listed below. There are still many groups which haven’t been reached, but the development of resource contacts is a continuing process. Once a group has been reached, one of their members is established as a contact person to facilitate communication between it and CAC. When a contact demands a more structured participation on the part of CAC, or an internal program needs to be more clearly defined, a project head is designated. To clarify the task of the legal and welfare coordination, the following outline is given: 1. To contact and to be contacted by community organizations utilizing non-paid staff members; 2. To determine if these organizations are related to the goals of CAC; 3. To publicize this information to university students; 4. To evaluate community contacts (what work is being done by the students and how the students feel about the work they are doing) and to collect feedback and suggestions for further community contact; 5. To provide training seminars where applicable and to develop a resource library which will contain information on what other cities and states are doing, periodicals such as Clearing House Review, Workforce, The Challenger and other useful booK? and journals. Suggestions and contributions are accepted. To accomplish these tasks, the internal work of Legal and Welfare will utilize people as resource aides for (1), (2), (3), (5) and evaluators and program planners for (4). If you are interested please contact the CAC office at 3605 and ask for Wayne. PROJECTS AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES The ACLU is a nationwide organization dedicated to preserving the constitutionally guaranteed rights of the people. Most cases deal with arbitrary discrimination generally in jobs, housing, courtroom procedures and schools. CAC-ACLU workers assist in every phase of the union’s activities. Last semester, students were involved in holding discussion sessions about juvenile law in local high schools; visiting in session courts (city, county and village) to insure that people were not being taken advantage of; investigation of cases, precedents, etc.; and many others were able to volunteer their services in the impeachment drive. This semester, similar programs will be operating, however, new ideas for new projects are very welcome. UNION; WELFARE RIGHTS APPLICATION PROJECT (WRAP): This project basically involves volunteer aid to welfare recipients and prospective clients, who have difficulty in filling out an involved eleven page application. As a volunteer you will undergo a training program (a one hour demonstration) on how to fill out this application. It is essential that the illiterate and foreign born Buffalo residents, who desperately need public assistance, get it. Many are discouraged by this technical and highly bureaucratic formality. Last semester, WRAP had volunteers go down to the welfare office at 158 Pearl Street (Rath Building) once or twice a week, for a couple of hours, to help in whatever capacity, to make a dehumanizing process more bearable. People who care, who feel that community and campus interaction is important, are needed. The Department of Social Services is located at 158 Pearl Street. Take the 8A Main Street bus to the Main Place Mall, walk through the Mall to Pearl Street and then walk in a downtown direction on Pearl until you reach 158 Pearl. COMMUNITY COUNSELING CENTERS PROJECT The Community Counseling Centers provide a free counseling service for people of the Buffalo area. Persons with problems of marriage, loneliness, social adjustment, alienation, and other social ills, find help gt these centers. All counselors are trained volunteers who work during the evenings (7 P.M. and on) at one of the five counseling centers. In the past, students have been a productive resource to these centers. The centers are located at various parts of the city and are open one night a week each. Before a lay counselor works with a client he must attend a training session or work on a team with an experienced counselor. Each center is staffed with professional (psychologist) and lay counselors. The centers are located at; Lafayette Baptist Church, Lafayette WEST SIDE and Parkdale Streets; Tuesday nights. NORTHWEST SIDE Cardinal Dougherty High School, 31 St. Florian Street; Wednesdays NORTHEAST SIDE Kensington Methodist Church, Leroy and Grider Streets; Wednesdays. "EAST SIDE St. James U.C.C., Herman Pilgrim and Best Streets; Thursdays. SOUTH SIDE South United Presbyterian Church, Seneca and Juanita Streets; Thursdays. ACROSS FROM SUNYAB University Presbyterian Church, Niagara Falls Blvd. and Main Street; Thursdays. - ATTICA BRIDGE PROJECT Bridge is a community organization concerned with increasing interaction between inmates at Attica and Albion and the outside community. They do this by arranging a one to one relationship between a student and an infnate in one of the above institutions. The sponsor (as Bridge calls their community people) and the inmate meet at the institution at times decided upon by the two of them. This project demands at least a six month committment upon the volunteer, as it is the relationship between himself and the inmate that is of the essence, and relationships take time to grow, especially under such harsh conditions. In the past it has been the practice of the Attica Bridge volunteer to visit the inmate once or twice a month. Bridge is located at 2450 Main Street take the 8A Main Street Bus to Jewett; but most contact will take place at the institution. Transportation should not be a factor to be concerned about since cars are usually available. - WELFARE FAIR HEARING ADVOCACY A contact has been made with a community person who is willing to train a small group of people in welfare fair hearing advocacy. The fair hearing is an administrative procedure available to a recipient who is dissatisfied with some aspect of the Social Services Department or has had other welfare benefits suspended, reduced, stopped, etc. Each person receiving a fair hearing can be accompanied by a friend, lawyer or anyone else he requests for advice or support. The training will be for that purpose, to give advice and support to people requesting fair hearings. Once trained, the members of this group .will arrange a schedule between themselves so as to be available during those hours in which fair hearings may be arranged. Hearings are held at the Department of Social Service, 158 Pearl Street take the 8A Main Street bus downtown to the Main Place Mall, walk through the Mall to Pearl Street, continue in a downtown direction until you reach 158 Pearl Street. - - - - - - - PROJECT The Attica Defense Committee has been trying to build a defense for the inmates involved in the 1971 rebellion. New York State has brought indictments against the inmates and has done nothing in the investigation of, or brought charges against, any of the state officials involved in the bloodbath of September 13, 1971. The Committee has two appendages the educational arm and the legal arm. Education is concerned with writing and printing up literature, distribution of this literature, and efficient communication to the public via the media (which also means creating contacts with the media). The legal department is involved with the direct defense and adjudication. Legal research, fact finding and reviewing the case histories of each indictment are just a few of the many activities of the legal appendage. The Attica Defense Committee needs volunteers (workers) to help either in the educational or legal arm with all of the above mentioned activities ard more. ATTICA DEFENSE - Do not let the above listing limit you. If you have a particular interest which is not fully expressed in any of these programs, there is a possibility that we will be able to contact a resource person for you, who is not formally working with a group, but is knowledgeable in your area of interest. In addition, if you are undecided as to what focus you wish to adopt or if you have suggestions as to other areas in which CAC can become involved, please contact us, for communication is necessary for growth. Social Services and Recreation PROJECTS THE BE-A-FRIEND PROGRAM provides the opportunity to show attention and give companionship to a child from a broken home. Be-A-Friend sponsors sporting games and trips to events, theaters and local sights. On an individual basis, each friend encourages his or her child's natural interests and tries to introduce new horizons and goals. Volunteers act in a big brother/big sister role. They give the children the benefit of a male or female influence in their lives. It can be truly harmful for a child to have his new “friend" quit after a short period of time. We - thereforeask volunteers for a serious committment league BOYS' BASKETBALL LEAGUE for fifth and sixth grade schoolboys. League practices and games are held in Clark Hall during the last eight Sundays of the first semester and first six Sundays of the second semester. Boys have a chance to play basketball in an organized league learning the fundamentals of the game and the importance of teamwork. The volunteers coach teams of ten boys, in pairs and the boys look to them for leadership and confidence. An orientation session for volunteers who will coach and referee is held prior to the suit of the season. Work is being done on establishing a girls’ or co-ed GIRLS' BASKETBALL LEAGUE for fifth and sixth grade girls. The league will meet at Clark Hall the last eight Sundays of the first semester and the first six Sundays of the second semester. The league provides an opportunity for girls to play basketball with other girls of the same age and to experience some relationship with volunteers. Before the league begins the volunteer, who will coach and referee, will undergo a brief orientation session. Volunteers can enjoy working with the girls and help them in developing their skills and leadership and confidence qualities. - - Commodity aAoripoiddsps 6>U$r$»§f*gtts �Social Services and Recreation -continued from previous pageThe THE COMMUNITY COMPANION PROGRAM visit with an to have a volunteer purpose of this project is with the intent of on a basis person regular elderly companionship. The volunteer will obtain insight into the needs of the elderly and hopefully will be motivated to take action toward improvement of the elderly’s distressful conditions of existence.

The volunteer is expected to work 2-3 hours a week or whatever arrangements they make with the person they are visiting. The volunteer mostly deals with shut-ins and in addition to the idea of providing companionship, can run light errands. „■ This is the only program in CAC that exists for the sole benefit of the elderly. Plans for training seminars are in progress and should begin this semester. Transportation is provided through CAC’s reimbursement policy and when this project becomes involved with the Perry Project, transportation will be provided for the volunteers through Model Cities Agency’s Jitney service. - .

The special providing troops will try to combine craft activities as well as programs dealing with Community Action. Volunteers will work with senior girl scouts of troops of 8 to 10 girls in size with their ages ranging from 8 to 12. The project Is located at Holy Angels Church and meets every Wednesday from 3:30 to 4:45. A training session will be provided by our agency contact at the Girl Scout Council. A similar program dealing with Boy Scouts, but operating as a Resource Contact, has been established this semester. - CAC Movie Schedule Community Action Corps is a student volunteer organization which annually attracts about 1500 students.

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

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

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

Circulation average: 14,000 — �Undergraduate advisement to J 11 be studied by new committee • committee has been established by Executive vice-president Albert Somit to study the interrelationship between undergraduate advisement and a number of other student services. An apparent lack of communication between the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) advisors, various academic departments, and the counseling and placement centers was the primary reason for the study, according to most observers. “When there’s so much information that’s constantly changing, it's difficult to keep people informed,” Walter Kunz, associate dean of DUE, told The Spectrum. Dr. Kunz said this has led to situations where some students are told by their advisors that they have to fulfill certain requirements, only to find out later that the requirements have changed. One possible solution might be to bring departmental faculty into the advisement process, Dr. Kunz maintained. While there are a “number of people in the faculty” who do advise, he feels it is “not formalized.” “The bulk of advisement of juniors and seniors could be handled by faculty, although I would not want advisement to be exclusively that he said. “A central sdvtsemeht staff that iewps informed of everything can be ■ A more helpful in the long run,” Dr. Kunz added. Robert Grantham, assistant dean of Undergraduate Education, feels advisement has not kept up with changes in the structure of the University. The current advisement system was originally set up to serve an old structure that was known as University College. Under that set-up, there were two divisions, lower and senior. Students in the lower division would receive associate degrees after two years, while upper division students pursued baccalaureate degrees. Each group had a completely different set of advisors. “Unlike other things that have changed as the University has, the advisement system has remained the same,” Dr. Grantham said. “It’s outdated and needs to be able to respond in different ways to student demands.” Dr. Grantham feels one of the main problems is resources. Because certain hiring lines have staff has diminished while the number of students has increased Role not defined Another problem has been a lack of specificity about the role of advisors. “The first advisors were all ex-faculty, so it was unlikely that any had had any training in advisement,” Dr. Grantham said. He feels advisors should be well rounded and perceptive enough to deal with a whole range of student problems, because “when people ask you one question, they may mean something else. We should move in the direction of more psychological kinds of things,” he explained, adding that having the information alone and knowing how ,tp import it are two very different things. Each semester, DUE goes to the departments and requests what their requirements are in an students attempt to keep up-to-date. “We supply this to students as departments supply us,“ Dr. Grantham stressed. “If the departments are late in providing us with information about things that have changed, we wind up giving students inaccurate information.” Dr. Grantham said this has happened “enough times to give people the impression that we do not give out accurate information.” “It’s really a two-fold responsibility faculty should make sure we’re informed and we should make sure they inform us,” he emphasized. Since the academic - departments have an interest in keeping students informed and they know advisement is a good place to recruit students, Dr. Grantham feels the problem has basically been one of “administrative hookup.” To help alleviate this problem, DUE Dean Charles Ebert will soon be asking each department to try to keep up the flow of up-to-date information. Interrelated grouping Presently, DUE advisors are assigned to keep informed about departments based on individual preference and not on specific skills, according to Dr. Grantham. “We should begin moving more in the direction of having advisors work with departments around some interrelated grouping,” he said. He suggested that there be several groups of advisors, each assigned to an individual Faculty. Several Several advisors would then be able to develop expertise about a Faculty and would exchange this information with their colleagues. “This way, the general knowledge of all other advisors would be enhanced,” Dr. Grantham said. One spokesman felt many of the problems were caused by the attitudes of certain advisors. “If some advisors realized they were here to serve students, 75% of the problems would disappear,” he said. “If they want to do a top job, they should go out of their way to find out information. Some are more apt than others to go out of their way to find out information about things like placement and counseling.” Library faces problemsfrom the loss of books More than 500 volumes were revealed to be missing by the Undergraduate Library’s (UGL) June inventory, it was learned Thursday. Most of the books were apparently stolen by students who took them out the front door. “It’s a matter of dollars. We just don’t have enough people to have someone covering the door all day,” explained UGL Librarian Yoram Szekely. He estimated the total annual cost of having a book checker at all hours is about $5200 a year, but noted there was little chance of getting this desk for fear that these would be stolen, too. One of the few methods that might curtail the wave of book thefts, in Mr. Szekely’s opinion, is a book detection device like the one used at the newly-built law library in Amherst. However, its $50,000 cost, he said, made it prohibitively expensive. Fewer new books Mr. Szekely reported that the UGL had already spent about $200 replacing stolen volumes, and expects to spend an additional $6000 for replacements throughout the year. This cost, he added, cuts substantially into new book funds, since for every volume replaced, there is another book which cannot be purchased. “The UGL is the first thing we’ve done for undergraduates in ten years; it’s popular because some people made sure it would be the kind of place that it is,” said History professor William Allen. He described how many of the units in the UGL were acquired through collection money. Dr. Allen attributed many of the thefts to a “cult” attitude towards rip-offs, one which justifies stealing if it is directed against an institution. ’Students hurt most’ Both Dr. Allen and Mr. Szekely agreed that although they were personally disgusted to see the books go, in the end, it was the students who were being hurt the The UGL has been one of the most heavily used facilities on campus since it opened last January. At peak traffic times, Mr. Szekely said, someone must be pulled off the door to help at the circulation desk. “We believe in open stacks so students can have close contact with the books,” he said. Since a thorough briefcase check cannot realistically be instituted, the only way to prevent rip-offs would be to “lock the books up behind bars,” he went on. One student, who was fined $10 for keeping a book past the end of the fall semester, has openly declared war on the UGL. “He has been stealing books on a regular basis,” Mr. Szekeley said. “We know who it is, but there’s nothing we can do to stop him.” “If people are determined to steal books, they can,” Dr. Allen admitted, but “we must derive a general attitude against it and rely on social pressure.” College catalogues According to Mr. Szekely, college catalogues are stolen fastest and are also among the most difficult to replace, because most universities are unwilling to send out more than one copy to a school. It had been the UGL’s goal to have a catalogue from every institution in the country, Mr. Szekely said ruefully. Also popular among book thieves are expensive reference books. Speaking of one large book of Salvatore Dali plates he had searched out and purchased himself, Mr. Szekely said, “first a few pages were tom out, and soon after, the whole thing was gone.” The UGL has now placed its language dictionaries behind the circulation *355 Norton Hall, Main Campus T rw said. most.

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

This segment discusses the job possibilities for those who hold a bachelor's degree. by Dene Dube Feature Editor There are some students who are in school for intellectual fulfillment; others who are determined to prepare for a career. However, since employment is a problem we all have to face eventually, now is as good a time as ever to look at the job prospects. Eugene Martell, the director of University Placement and Career Guidance Center, a professional counseling service set up to help students with career planning and graduate school advisement, has a new idea about the function of the University; “The wave of the future for Higher Education will be interdisciplinary study,” claims Mr. Martell. Career-conscious students are more and more toward the new “joint major” leaning. Trend toward vocationalism “Students are looking for a curriculum with a prescribed course of study that will prepare them for employment,” Mr. Martell said. “This [interest in vocationalism] does not mean that they are no longer interested in the liberal arts,” he added. The phenomena he describes actually involves a double major, which includes a liberal arts curriculum plus a “practical application” curriculum. These “practical application” courses include civil engineering, computer science and accounting. Mr. Martell spoke of one student who majored in electrical engineering and theater, planning to apply the engineering to technical theater. Cautious employers One of the more general trends in the job market, according to Mr. Martell, is an extreme caution towards BA recipients on the part of the employer. These cautious employers are only looking at those who are technically trained with “pre-described definitions” of what they can do. With a general type of an education, the employers do not know the criteria on which to hire an individual. Mr. Martell does not believe it is either the student’s or the educational institution’s fault, but rather an “articulation problem.” He refers to the fact that the employer will under-estimate the potential of an English major unless he can demonstrate precisely what he is capable of doing. Recommending that a student get as much experience as possible, Mr. Martell suggested part-time jobs, summer, jobs and volunteer work as possible tools. Where students cannot gain these experiences, he recommends taking a large variety of courses so that an employer can find a multi-faceted persbn to fit into any number of outlets. High Holiday Services on Amherst Campus Ellicott Complex Rosh Hashana A survey of 1973 graduates shows that most of those ir Management, Health Affairs and Engineering and Applied Sciences were successfully placed by the center. Those in Arts and Letters, Natural and Mathematical Sciences, Social Sciences and Education were not placed as easily. However, more than half of those in each category were placed. Career satisfaction appeared highest with Social Scientists and Engineers. It seems that those in Arts and Letters and Education experience the least job satisfaction of the groups surveyed. The Social Scientists and Engineers attributed their satisfaction to a personal fulfillment, rather than economic or promotional satisfaction. Those in Arts and Letters and Education had a personal dissatisfaction rather than a monetary or promotional dissatisfaction. (Note: these findings only include those graduates from the University who were placed by the center.) Placed in business Almost one third of those placed by the center were employed by medium to large businesses, almost one-fifth in small business. *' The amount of career vacancies reported by the placement center for the 1974 graduates were highest in Engineering, and Iqwest in Liberal Arts. There were in fact more requests for persons with two-year technical degrees than for those with a four-year liberal arts degree. Surprisingly, there were not many requests for those in health-related professions or social science. ’ HIGH HOLYDAYS 1974 Reform for A contemporary Tuesday Sept. 1 6 & 17 at 7:30 p.m. � MFACC 355 Tuesday & Wednesday Sept. 1 7 & 18 at 1 0:: a.m. Fargo Cafeteria Monday & College Students With Student Rabbi PHILIP BREGMAN and Guitar Accompanist KERRY SUFRIN Yom Kippur Dress is informal Wednesday Sept. 25 at 7:00 p.m. � MFACC 355 Fargo Cafeteria Thursday Sept. 26 at 10:00 a.m. Thursday Sept. 26 5:00 p.m,�MFACC355 Sponsored by CHABAD HOUSE - No tickets or reservations necessary For more information call 833-8334 service UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO-NORTON HALL CONFERENCE THEATER Rosh Hashanah Monday, Sept. 16, at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17 at II a m.

He charged that President Ford’s actions casts doubt on the image of the United States as “a nation where all are accountable for criminal behavior persons of power as well as the powerless.” Mr. Lippes expressed concern over the way future Presidents might use this precedent, and called the pardon “a license to further weaken and perhaps destroy our system of law.” “While the President agonizes intos an educational tool in nuclear engineering and other radiation-related fields.

The holidays reach a climax with Yom Kippur, the most important day of the Jewish year, which begins this year at sundown on September 25 and is observed on September 26. All Jewish holidays begin at sundown the day before they are celebrated. Each holiday thus lasts from sundown to sundown. Rosh Hashanah is more important as a Day of Judgement than as the start of a new year, Rabbi Justin according to Hofmann, Director of Hillel. Jewish tradition dictates that on Rosh Hashanah all people must pass before God, who sits as a judge, examining their deeds of the past year. “The Book of Life is open before Him and He inscribes people according to their desserts, for life or some other fate,” Rabbi Hofmann explained. Because of this, the traditional greeting extended by Jews on Rosh Hashanah is “May you be good year,” or, in Hebrew, “L’shanah tovah tikatevu.” The so-called “in between,” those who are neither all good nor all bad, are given until Yom Kippur, 10 days later, to improve their ways. As Rabbi Hofmann pointed out, it is a characteristic of Jewish tradition for man to be able to do something about his fate. By examining his way of life and resolving to improve in areas where improvement is needed, it is possible for man to achieve forgiveness and a favorable judgement. Man plays an active rather than a. passive role in what his outcome will be, according to Judaic teaching. In order to encourage people to engage in self-evaluation and the self-improvement during holidays, the shofar, or ram’s • hom, is sounded. The shrill sounds of the shofar, according to Jewish scholars, are to awaken the people from their spiritual slumber to critically review their lives. Another tradition related to the idea of critical evaluation is for the men to wear a whitekit tel, or overshirt, of the shrouds in which pious Jews are buried. The shrouds remind Jews of the day of death and should prompt them to reconsider their earthly existence, and way in which to improve it. Tashlich, “to cast,” is a third tradition of the holidays, in which people go to a body of water on the afternoon of the first day of Rosh Hashanah to “cast their sins” into the water. Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, is observed by fasting. It marks the conclusion of the High Holidays. On this day, the “Day of Atonement,” the on Rosh judgement passed Hashanah is finalized. The relationship between the two holidays is that “on Rosh Hashanah we are inscribed and on Yom Kippur we are sealed,” the Rabbi explained. The fast of Yom Kippur is designed to help people get away from their everyday concerns symbolized by eating and drinking and to concentrate instead on their spiritual conconcerns. The High Holidays are also known as the Yomim Noraim, the “awe-inspiring days.” The mood is not one of morbidity or sadness but rather of seriousness. There is a mood of hopefulness that permeates the people on those to Rabbi according days, Hofmann. Religious services will be held in the Fillmore Room beginning Monday at 7 PM and Tuesday at 10 AM. Services will also be held Tuesday at 7:30 PM and Wednesday at 10 AM. Times for Yom Kippur services will be announced. FkJ - H ' I-?: — Attica Legal Defense survey indicates jurors’ prejudice The Attica Brothers Legal Defense (ABLD) last introduced into New York State Appellate Court the results of an attitudinal survey of potential jurors in Erie County, which indicates wide-scale bias against the 60 men held on charges in connection with the Attica Rebellion of September, 1971. The results of the study show strong and pervasive others. On the issue of race, 42% of potential jurors volunteered some form of racial stereotypes demeaning the character of black people. With regard to authoritarianism, over half believe that the police should not hesitate to use force to maintain order and that laws should be strictly enforced no matter what the human consequences. prejudice against black people, persons who seek all leading to change and persons accused of crime the inference that most people in Erie county could not function as impartial jurors if called to sit on these Widespread bias Further results from the attitudinal survey show that, among the 65 1 people interviewed: week - cases.

Directing the research team in this most recent study was Jay Schulman, a Columbia University sociologist whose work includes studies of jurors and jury selection in cases such as the Wounded Knee, Harrisburg and Gainsevelle trials. — militancy; - 32% believe that prisoners should have no rights whatsoever; 45.5% believe authorities who give the order to shoot to kill during prison disturbances are always justified and doing what is necessary; 2 2% admitted that they could not be impartial jurors in the Attica cases, and 23% say they could not follow the judge’s instructions that the defendants should be presumed innocent; 82% believe that “obedience” and “respect for authority” are the “most important virtues” that children should learn; 25% believe that if the state brings someone to trial, he or she is probably quilty; 29.8% believe that police and prison officials are more trustworthy and honest than other people; Over half (53.1%) believe it is better to send innocent people to jail rather than letting some guilty people go free; 60% believe that the problems faced by blacks are the same as problems faced by white voluntary immigrants at the turn of the 20th century. The ABLD admits these views are not shared by every citizen of Erie County, and that there are still a “good many decent, fair-minded individuals who can approach these cases with open eyes and open minds.” However, it claims that “the prejudice revealed and documented by this study is so deep and widespread that we are forced to conclude “that it will be virtually impossible for the Attica Brothers to obtain an impartial jury in Erie County.” - - Range ofattitudes The study, conducted according to approved a sample of 65 1 registered voters in Erie County interviewed by scientific research techniques, drew on telephone.

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

Metaphysical dissent Outside To the Editor: In his opinion on the suffering of Nixon, Michael O’Neill inadvertantly dramatizes the heart of alienation which plagues the American consciousness. If we cannot see the smog in our air, does that mean that none exists? Once the physical presence is not tangibly visible, the problems which constantly face us are relegated to part of our “eternal past.” It is this approach to our own personal environment which has led us to our present apathetic state. All of us have become complacent to everything but that which smacks us dead center in the face. Once we lose touch with ourselves as people and no longer demand our inalienable rights as such, we surrender our own freedom ofchoice. Now that people are not being shot in living color from Viet Nam every night at six o’clock the war does not exist. The blood stains on the walls at Attica are gone too, but the men who directed those guns still maintain their sovereignties. The new President intends to maintain their status. Our second in line to the Presidency begs amnesty for the conspirators of Watergate, although none was granted for the Brothers who suffered at Attica and whose only crime, as they have pleaded, is “attempted rehabilitation.” Our reality can no longer be measured in a strictly chronological order. Change, like time, is cyclical and it is necessary to understand that each point in the circumference has a direct relation to the structure as a greater whole. In essence, the events which precede as our “eternal past” form our living present. ookine In by Clem Colucci Our White House sources have leaked us the following samples of the week’s mail.

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

Ford, President of the United States From: Betty Ford, wife thereof Jerry, Your practice of cooking your own breakfast has won you considerable goodwill from the American people. You can win even more by cooking all the rest of your meals. That policy starts today. Also, recent White House tradition has had it that the President and his wife sleep separately. Starting today, that policy shall be reinstated. Since no spare bedroom is available yet, the couch in the Oval Office should serve admirably. Sincerely, P.S.

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

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

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

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

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

Smith surmised that a substantial number of students who do not require the laboratory and should therefore be taking 118 are crowding out students whoi need 119. Biology 118 has about 200 empty spaces, while Dr. Smith has urged students in 119 to transfer into 118 to help the students who have been closed out, the response has been small. Last March, as he does every year, Dr. Smith prepared a report projecting the number of students who would take Bio. 119. Based on a substantial growth in the health-related fields in the past fews years, Dr. Smith predicted that 960 places would be engineered chaos,” he said, “and as sure as we’re required.

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

They then have a friend concentrate on an idea as the sleeping person reaches the peak of his dream cycle. The subject is awakened to record his Campus Editor “The computer shows that those heads of business that actually do use some sort of ESP gain greater profits than those who don’t,” he said. Mr. Dean’s new book, Executive ESP, (Prentiss Hall, 1974) deals with such phenomena. Noisy ghosts Mr. Dean also described a type of mind over matter phenomena called polterguist, which is a German word meaning noisy ghost. According to Mr. Dean, usually a bottle or bulb bursts, or a rock Hies through a house window for no apparent reason. Most cases, he said, are the result of introverted, frustrated adolescents, usually with a high IQ and low emotional age, reacting to an extremely domineering parent. The pent up emotions, which Mr. Dean connects with puberty, manifest themselves through psychokinesis. Asked if these sort of occurences frightened him, he said no. “Why should 1 be frightened if these things will someday be understood by science,” he said.

Dream telepathy is the most successful parapsychological phenomena mainly because a sleeping subject cannot maintain his tensions against it while asleep.

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

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

But a funny thing happened on the way to November: those Democrats who voted in Tuesday’s primary preferred to do their own nominating. They rejected every choice of the state committee except Mr. Levitt, who was unopposed in the primary and a virtual institution in the Comptroller’s office. . dominated by downstaters. Democratic advantages for the fall campaign include the present state of the economy, the after-effects of Watergate, and the Nixon pardon.

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

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

Don’t bother answering. If anything worked there wouldn’t be an 80-line hole to be filled on the editorial page at 9:30 a.m. on a deadline night when a tired writer who just blew a chance to use a free pass to a movie has nothing to say, as 30-odd sheets of discarded filler columns litter the floor. Not even that sentence works and that’s just fine because it fits with everything else that’s been going on lately. You can’t eat at Amherst. You can’t find your way around the Ellicott complex. Three or four hundred students get closed out of a course they must have when the instructor knew perfectly well they were coming but no one would listen to him. Supposedly intelligent people scrap a reasonably workable system of handing out schedule cards and come up with a hundred-yard line of wet freshmen. Keep a straight face and say the impeachment process works. Say it quickly ten times. Say the criminal justice system works. Then say “Attica,” or “Nixon.” Memorize this routine from the Marx Brothers classic Animal Crackers: “What this country needs is a seven-cent nickel. We’ve been using the five-cent nickel since 1492 and that’s near a hundred years, daylight Savings. If the seven-cent nickel works out, next year we can go to the eight-cent nickel. Think what that would mean. You could go to a newsstand, buy a three-cent newspaper and get the same nickel back. One nickel carefully used could last a family an entire lifetime.” After you’ve done that, reflect on why it makes more sense than anything that came out of President Ford’s economic summit conference. Try finding a parking space anywhere. Try gettirtg a train somewhere. Don’t even talk about cars, or gasoline, or traffic management. Of the last ten records you bought, how many didn't have scratches or skips? How many of them were worth listening to anyway? Why is it that no matter how bad the music is on AM radio this year, the same songs will bring relief from the usual run of trash next year? Why is it that any organization can do a land office business five minutes after closing or a day after any deadline? Try getting your books. — — One of our photographers took a picture of Hillel House to illustrate a story we’re running today about Chabad House. Maybe I have that backward, but the point is the same. Our Music Editor’s guitar was ripped off. SA has no ready cash until October. Evel Knievel can’t even kill himself properly because his parachute malfunctions. Chris Evert loses and Jimmy Connors wins. Secretariat can’t cut it at stud. The Knicks, Jets and Mets are nowhere for the coming season and the Yankees have come from nowhere to lead the division. The New York State Democratic Party can’t endorse a single primary winner this year. If they could have managed to blow it for Arthur Levitt, they’d have done it somehow.

Speaker’s Bureau chairman Stan Morrow could not get the cooperation of certain members of the University faculty, and as a result cancelled the appearance of the controversial Dr. William Shockley. The faculty could have taken the opportunity to professionally destroy Shockley, but instead took the route of fear and apathy. The «nd result of actions such as these by members of the University community is a speaker’s program that is more concerned with promoting the mental listlessness this University rather than helping spark some healthy political and social activism.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For many years, Erie County had gone without the aid of a big brother/sister type program. In September of 1971, Bob Moss, feeling that children from disrupted homes had problems that needed more attention than was given them, initiated the Be-a-Friend program through Community Action Corps. The general objectives of the program are to provide experiences and atmospheres that would not otherwise be available to these children, who are between the ages of six and 15. Where one child might have a socialization problem, another might need companionship. Although the situation and immediate goals are often varied, the to help a child growing ultimate goal remains the same volunteer, desire to help his community.” A child usually feels more comfortable with a student who might show up in jeans and a tee-shirt, he said, adding that the dress and age relation relieves any stress between the child and the volunteer that might occur in a normal pre-arranged CB 351 ■ I I Arts Management Seminar (4creditsl 227478 « M-W w For further information: College B Peter Porter Quad Build 4, Level 4 636-2137 - persons. The other bill, S.1739, would liberalize the conditions under which U.S. airlines may offer inclusive tour charters to the traveling public. Restrictions would be removed which now prohibit airlines from offering the lowest possible prices and greatest selection of package deals. Passage of S.2651 would allow students to travel standby at reduced rates, possibly saving up to $100 million annually. S.1739 would provide students with greatly expanded opportunities to travel by group charter and save in many cases more than half the current air fares. “Students stand to gain in different ways from each of these bills,” Mr. Rodbell said. “According to the U.S. Office of Education, 1.6 million students commute 500 miles or more between their homes and schools. When travel costs suddenly and dramatically increase, an extreme burden is imposed upon the student and the student’s family, and in some cases the student cannot complete his or her education because of the financial hardship.” The NSL urges students who are concerned about the prohibitive cost of air travel to write their representatives, c/o House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. 205 15, expressing their support for S.2651.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tues., 8:40 p.m. 322 Fillmore (Amherst) - - ' Editor’s note: The dropping of crew has renewed speculation as to what the future of athletics will be. In this commentary Warren Breisblatt, former Chairman of the Student Athletic Review Baord, recalls some of the politics and economics of molding the athletic budget and then speculates about what the future may hold. I > SA President Frank Jackalone determined that women’s sports, intramurals/recreation and the major men’s programs were not to be cut. With this hard line approach, the athletic department was forced to make major cuts from the men’s intercollegiate programs. This meant that the crew program would be discontinued while the golf, tennis, fencing, soccer and baseball lines would also be sliced. Some argue that this was bound to happen, that it was only a matter of time before the small men’s intercollegiate programs would be hit with cuts. However, it is obvious that this didn’t have to happen this year. This situation has occurred through the department’s own negligence and lack of communication. Discontent is obvious among the coaches, who do not see any clear-cut athletic policy. A number of administrators have also expressed dismay over the management of the department and it seems clear that changes must be made if the athletic program is to be run efficiently. A clear athletic policy is needed, one that is in harmony with both the needs of both students and the administration. For such a policy to be implemented, a new athletic director is needed. The job of athletic director is a full time endeavor, as is Dean of the School of Health Education. Although Dr. Fritz has worked hard and continues to put in long hours, it is just too much work for one man. It would be wise for the administration to set up a search committee for a new director of athletics. A recent University committee wisely recommended that the two positions be separate. by Warren Breisblatt F11 |U| Q •CALL Prof. John K.

Dr. Somit acknowledged he was interested in the job and had been to the Carbondale campus to speak with faculty and administrators. Sources at the university said he had visited in late July. While admitting his interest, he did not know if he had in fact been named one of the leading candidates. He did say that his wife had been told this unofficially and had mentioned it to him late Friday afternoon, after he returned from a trip.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By then, however, the line extended to Diefendorf parking lot. Although Mr. Dremuk estimated that the average waiting time was only 15 minutes, the line did not shrink to a tolerable length until 11:30 ajn. Mr. Dremuk said that if the tables had not been moved by the karate team, the line could have been let in earlier and processed without difficulty. Special Features Editor Predictable problem Enrollment figures indicate that 4000 new students freshmen and transfers have registered this fall, an increase of 500 over last fall. Every year, it seems, new students line up early trying to “beat the crowd,” not realizing that several hundred other students have the same thing in mind. With the increased number of new students, larger lines can be expected everywhere. Many students felt that the old system was better, and did not understand why all cards were collected under one roof this year, especially in a building like Clark Hall, which was designed to serve a university of about 3000, not 25,000. Mr. Dremuk said that putting all cards in one building gave the advantage of “centralization,” but he did not elaborate. He is optimistic, however, that the problem can be avoided next year if Admissions and Records can institute a policy of early registration. Under this policy, students would register early and know before they return home for the summer what classes they will have. The vacation would then be open for correcting schedules and solving problems, if necessary. If this can be done, said Mr. Dremuk, “I don’t think we need any lines at all.” He expressed confidence that the necessary changes could be made in time for the 1975-76 academic year. — — introducing Quscav Even if you've been here before, this is something new.

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

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

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

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

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

Nossir, not as far as Sophie Grudnik’s concerned. They don’t stay long for one thing. Why, one family didn’t stay three years even. Handsome fellow the father was, too.” “What about the Fords, Mrs. Grudnik?” “Fords, Lincolns, Cadillacs, you name it. Cars all hours of the day and night. People always gawkin’ outside the gates. All them darn reporters waitin’ around. It’s enough to make a body want to call the police.” . “Have you ever called them, Mrs. Grudnik?” “Oh my, yes. Don’t do a darn bit of good, though. Soon’s I tell 'em where the commotion is they make funny noises and hang up on me. Been goin’ on for years, too, ever since I moved in. I remember when I first moved in here, back in ’49 it was, the fella who lived next door then, Harry somethin’, used to go for walks every mornin’ right by my front yard. He was all right, I guess, always waved. But he had a half-dozen or so characters followin’ him, ill mannerdest bunch of cusses you ever did see. They’d never even so much as smile.” “That was President Truman.” “President, nothin’. His name was Harry. What kind of name is ‘President’ for a grown man? President indeed. Well, he moved out early in ’53. One day, day before he moved out if I recollect, this big parade came by. Musta been a goin’ away party. Didn’t invite me, either. People who moved in hardly ever bothered anyone.” “That was Pres er, Dwight Eisenhower.” “But none of them amounted to much until this crazy Texan moved in. Always holdin’ barbecues in the backyard. The smoke near gave me emphysema. He’d a weddin’ or two, don’t rightly remember how many, right on the lawn. Didn’t invite me to them either. Then the next crew . . Had this bunch of crazy people in funny uniforms runnin’ around. Thought they’d moved some foreign diplomat or somebody like that in there.” “What about the Fords, Mrs. Grudnik?” “They’re not too bad, I guess. Went over the other day to borrow some flour. Mr. Ford came to the door, had an apron on, he did. Very polite. He took me into the kitchen and showed me where the flour was and told me to help myself. He was makin’ scrambled eggs, said his wife was still asleep. Never saw the inside of the house. It’s big, Betty that’s Mrs. Ford must work day and night keeping it clean.” “Are they considerate neighbors, Mrs. Grudnik?” “I do have one complaint. They party too much. Most of these people go to bed early. But these Fords . . They’d hardly even moved in when they-had a big party, dancin’ till midnight. One other thing he comes out in his that’s strange about Gerry that’s Mr. Ford swimmin’ trunks some mornings, grumbles somethin’ about forgettin’ that he doesn’t have a pool anymore and goes back in. Not a bad build for a fella his age, either. Not like my husband, Chester . . You won’t put that on television, will you?” “No, ma’am.” “Dan.” “Yeah, Charlie?” — . - - . — “Wrap her up.” . . For CBS News, this is Dan Rather in Washington.” “Sonny?” . “Yes, Mrs. Grudnik?” “There is one favor you could do for me. If you know anybody at The Washington 'Post, tell them the Fords’ paper keeps coming to my house.” I wondered, even then, why those words brought the whole adventure alive as no others did. “Eagle” was just the name of a landing module but it somehow broke the space experiment away from our own political and contrived identification with it which President Nixon was exploiting so heavily at the time. It was as if some weird bird, separate from us, had sunk its talons into that yielding ash and was about to carry the whole - globe Lone Eagle teaching young men to fly when Japanese Zeroes came after his plane and he, as a civilian, had to shoot them down. Part of his miscalculation over the entry into World War II came from a generally pacific nature. He did not like destroying even a a dare, to show off “macho,” like Evel Knievel’s rather sick toymgs with suicide. He meant to contribute to aviation as a science. He took no unnecessary chances. And I doubt that any astronaut will live to make as many contributions, in as many scientific fields, as he did. From medical and devices, conservation tools, from P-38’s to the later rockets, Lindbergh was always ready to help. He could be a team player when that was called for. Yet he fought off publicity, suffered the kidnapping of his son, became an unlucky Lindy, went out on a limb about Germany’s air power, was insulted by Roosevelt, and had to do his heroic work in World War II without either glory or simple gratitude. He was the main first source of information about the person’s privacy, or shooting down a bird. On the predatory side, he was a reluctant eagle, and did not boast of his kills. But he was a patriot, and sadly taught his young flyer pupils to use airplanes for death. He was not right always, nor his positions admirable. But he himself was honorable, beyond men’s power to wound or detract. The sufficient answer lay in the mere words he spoke on landing he was Charles Lindbergh, a thing apart. There was, and will be, none like him; he leaves us as he came to our attention, alone, up there, all the sky his. - The Spectrum off. Then I realized that another element was also at work, an echo from the past, from the first and in some ways the last great act of aerial heroism. It was the “lone Eagle” who flew to Paris in 1927, Lucky Lindy, who forced himself to stay awake over 33 hours and said nothing fancy when he got out of the plane at Le Bourget Airfield, just “I’m Vol. 25, No. - 9 Monday, 9 September 1974 - Editor-in-Chief No one needed to stir up excitement with that exploit. He did it alone. Of course some men backed him with money for his plane.

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

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

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

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

Serious or excessive traffic violations may result in the loss of this privilege. Only those motor vehicles displaying a valid permit are entitled to use campus facilities. The University assumes no responsibility for a vehicle or its contents. This includes any damage caused by moving or towing. The term motor vehicle as used in these regulations means all selfpropelled vehicles including, but not limited to, snowmobiles, autmobiles, motor scooters, motorcycles, and motor bicycles. Students (including teaching assistants) may register vehicles during registration or at the Security Office, 196 Winspear Avenue. Faculty and staff may register their vehicles at the Personnel Office. All faculty, all full-time and all part-time annual staff are eligible. Hourly and temporary employees may obtain a temporary parking permit from Campus Security.

Persons possessing more than one motor vehicle must register each such motor vehicle brought onto the campus. Verification of vehicle registration and personal identification may be requested by the Presonnel Office or the Campus Security Office. Any change of state motor vehicle registration (license plate number) must be reported within ten days by students to the Security Office, 196 Winspear Avenue, and by faculty and staff to the Personnel Office. - Parking for Physically Handicapped Persons Physically handicapped persons may apply for a special parking permit at the Security Office, 196 Winspear Avenue, with a confirming statement from a doctor or Student Health Service physician which indicates the length of time the space will be needed. Permit holders may park in spaces designated "Handicap Parking Only ." Vehicle Permits Permits are issued for a full year from September through August, unless association with the University terminates at an earlier date. Mutilation, theft, or other disposition of a permit must be reported promptly to the office from which the permit was obtained. The parson in whose name a motor vehicle license is issued will be held fully responsible for any non-moving violation involving the vehicle. Motor Vehicle Operation Speed limits are posted at entrances and on roadways of each campus. The limits vary, from 15 m.p.h. to 40 m.p.h. Close observation of signs will be necessary to insure speeds within the permissible limits. Full stop at all stop signs is required. Pedestrians have the right of way. Motar vehicles may not be operated on any sidewalk or grassed area. Service vehicles and authorized contractor vehicles are not included in this prohibition.

Winter Lots Restrictions Main Campus From November 15 to April 15 between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:30 a.m., faculty, staff and non-resident student vehicles are restricted to designated areas in the Main/Bailey lot. the Sherman faculty lot and the Parker faculty lot, because of snow removal requirements. Amherst Campus From November 15 to April 15 between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:30 a.m., faculty, staff and non-resident students may park only in lots or portions of lots designated for overnight parking. Designations will be made as lots and buildings are completed. Traffic regulations will be revised to #)ow specific changes at appropriate timet. Snow days (days or nights when lots must be plowed) require special considerations of all permit holders. Maintenance will clear areas in restricted lots or in lots adjacent to restricted lots prior to 2:00 a.m. at each campus location. All cart mutt be moved to the cleared area by 2:00 a.m. and shall not return to regularly designated parking lots or spaces until lots have been plowed. Vehicles not moved may be considered to be illegally parked and towed at the owner's expense. Campus Security Officers may have any vehicle towed, at tha expense of the owner, which is parked in violation of municipal ordinances, the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law or State University of New York regulations. A towing fee will be assessed by the towing agency. Penalties Violations are of two categories 1. Non moving 2. Moving.

Appeals Questions concerning a tag should be presented to the Security Office immediately. A plea against a municipal parking tag must be presented to traffic bureaus of municipal authorities having jurisdiction (Under current city regulations in Buffalo, a hearing may be delayed for several weeks pending issuance of a summons, because there is no provision for immediate appeal to city or traffic courts.) A plea against a uniform traffic summons and complaint must be made in the local criminal court or, in the City of Buffalo, to the Administrative Adjunction Bureau, as indicated on the summons.

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

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

The State University of New York at Buffalo is being recognized as an educational pioneer in its recent creation of the Statistical Science Division to provide outstanding education and research in Statical Science, to encourage contemporary statistics and probability and their relations to science and computer science, and to develop biostatistics and biostatistical science. As a discipline, Statistical Science seems to me to be characterized by its equal emphasis on probability modeling, statistical data analysis and management, statistical inference, and statistical computation and computing. Our introductions courses cover all these fields, and thus provide unique introducations to contemporary statistics and probability. These courses are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and in versions oriented to the different interests of students. I take great pride in these innovative courses, because they seem to me to provide students in every field with opportunities to learn ways of reasoning about uncertainty and data, which are important both to their everyday lives and to their careers, in educational formats which emphasize relevance, learning feedback, and students' active participation in their own instruction. Information about the courses especially oriented to students in your field can be obtained from our General Information Bulletin and other announcements available in the Statistical Division office, 4230 Ridge Lea, Room A—33, Telephone 831—1232.

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

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

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

The growth of these cultures into centers of civilization within a different ecological-technological context will be emphasized. The development of their artistic expression as a manifestation of culture, as well as materials from archaeology, social anthropology, history, art history, and literature will be used to show the transformations and continuity of the Meso-American cultures. International Studies 285 NATIVE PEOPLES T-Th 2;00 Howard Berman The course will explore areas of cultural conflict in the historical and legal relations of native peoples with the "civilized world."

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

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

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

The program offers a similar in function to “The Big Brothers of America” guiding influence for children deprived of parental benefits, explained Bob Gorski current director. There are presently 75 volunteers, all carefully screened and fully warned of what such a committment entails. The precautions are necessary to ensure a high level of responsibility and are taken to - - protect the children. Volunteers are required to spend a minimum of three hours per week with their “friend.” Activities range from kite flying in the park to trips to McDonald’s and drive-in movies. Once a month, “friends” are treated to group trips, enhancing the scope of their relationships. Placement Children are referred to the program by social agencies like Children’s Hospital and Child and Family Services of Buffalo. Most children have suffered in some way from the loss of a parent and need more attention than is presently given to them. “There are approximately 100 children directly involved with the program” said Bob Gorski. Many others are turned away because of the limited number concerned enough to volunteer. Those children fortunate to have a “friend” receive much companionship and in turn develop a sense of well-being and security. Participants and their families have reacted favorably to the program. “He really did accomplish what I and others thought was impossible in getting Bobby to stop being so withdrawn,” said a grateful mother of one volunteer. “He is very proud to have a big brother and can’t stop talking about all they have done together. There are things that a mother just can’t do as well as another fellow,” another mother explained. ’ Growing demands Volunteers are reimbursed for their expenses through funds from the Buffalo Youth Board. Mr. Gorski said many more volunteers are needed to meet the growing community demands. Working mothers simply cannot find the time to do those “important little extra things that mean so much,” and they appreciate these services, he said. But the services mean even more to the children. Trips, movies, sledding, skating, games and talks, help round out a child’s life. In a household where there are only females, the presence of a big brother has quite an impact. Orientation Freshmen swallow only as much as they can chew well They’re very easy to spot, those freshmen orientation-ers. You can usually catch them wandering around campus in groups of three or more, clutching pink and white information folders to their breasts. “Where’s ‘Deefundawf?” they ask. And you just point. Every Monday and Wednesday morning until August 21, a new flock of freshmen will come flowing into Goodyear Hall on a wave of anticipation to register for three days of computer form salad (No. 2 pencils only). The dorm is virtually wallpapered with colored signs, arrows pointing up, down and counter-clockwise, instructions on everything from how and where to party to how and where to check out. All those welcome to the club-type posters could drive any semi-sane individual batty. hurt,” admitted one aide at 11 p.m. Meals are all served in the Norton Hall cafeteria except Tuesday or Thursday lunch. At 12 noon. Food Service shows up in Diefendorf Hall with stacks of box lunches, consciously planned to provide a well-balanced cold meal. Superaides Darting over and under the entanglement of arms, legs and overnight bags are ten upperclassmen, distinguished by their orange and white superaide badges. They’re the ones who are going to reduce all the mass confusion to a level of decency, to turn “Intro to the University 101” into a light-hearted affair. Much useful information comes out of their mouths, like, “Don’t bother to sign up for gym. You’ll just get closed out anyway,” or “This part of our tour leads us to one of the heavily trafficked spots on campus, the Birth Control Clinic. You may not think you’re that type of girl yet.” Day one standardly includes check-in, small group meetings, welcome speeches by several campus personalities, data forms, questionnaires and the like. Quite a schedule to digest, especially for those weary New Yorker travelers who have spent the entire night on a Student Association (SA) chartered bus. As one disgusted freshman commented: “I didn’t sleep the whole night and then they throw all these forms at me.” The remainder of the conference is devoted to registration, language placement exams, and meetings with academic advisors. The days are long for everyone. “My feet No time to sleep Evening activities center around bonfires, trips to Niagara Falls, concerts on the Norton terrace and parties on the 8th floor of Goodyear. Not only do the freshmen get a chance to intermingle, but it seems that a number of upperclassmen try to move in on the action, always winding up near girls who are wearing halter tops. Well, the noise is healthy anyway. After several weeks of a summer lull, it’s nice to see people and hear voices. Orientation may not always be the most comfortable experience. That feeling of desolation when after four hours of searching the Reporter your courses still conflict; the realization that you, a human being, have been reduced to one social security number among thousands; the unreleased anger at having to grapple with the merciless bureaucracy these are common frustrations the freshmen must learn to cope with in three short days. But it’s always better to eat your food slowly than to shovel it in without chewing. You feel more satisfied when you digest the food thoroughly. At least this brief orientation, bewildering as it may be, will prepare the freshmen somewhat for the non-stop confusion of a university this size, full-swing. - —Kraftowltz WNYPIRG Bicycle lock survey released by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor To “dispel the confusion that the average consumer feels when he walks into the lofcal bike shop to buy a chain,” the Western New York Public Interest Group (WNYPIRG) has rated some of the security devices available in the Buffalo area. Because the variety of these devices has greatly increased over the past few years, a wide selection of cables, chains and locks of varying price and quality are presently on the market. “We encountered misinformation from the bike store proprietors themselves, that we felt an even greater need for a study of this type,” said project director Richard Futyma. WNYPIRG tested the chains and cables to determine the surface hardness, “case hardening” and “surface carbon content,” all measures of the chain’s toughness. These tests were conducted to find out which devices could not be opened by a the most common tool of a bicycle bolt cutter thief. so much — The report rated Master chains No. 94 and No. 83, and the American Lock Co. chain highest. “They are about equal in overall quality,” the report stated, “but the Master No. 83 (based on cost and weight) seems to be about the best buy.” The study indicated that many bicycle shop sales clerks believed cables to be more theft-proof than chains. The study disproved this, reporting that while cables may be stronger than chains, a cable can be severed strand by strand. A chain must be cut all at once “Cables, especially the self-coiling variety, are light, compact and very convenient, but provide little security,” the study charged. ‘The most secure chains tend to be heavy and cumbersome. One must find a happy medium between convenience and effectiveness.” The best way to lock a bike, according to the report, is to pass the chain around an immovable object and through both wheels and frame. A chain of about six feet long is recommended. Copies of the report are available from WNYPIRG, Room 311, Norton Hall. A more extensive study will be available in the fall.

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

The Ervin bill would require every data-gathering agency to keep its records up-to-date as technically feasible; would mandate random audits of federal and state criminal files; and would grant every citizen the right to inspect his file and correct inaccuracies.

Three plaintiffs who tried unsuccessfully to enter the theater Patricia Yungbluth, vice president of the National Organization of Women (NOW), Linda Enke, head of NOW’s media task force and Elizabeth Tallmade are suing Mr. Zoccolillo for $45,000; they are seeking $15,000 in damages and the remainder as a punitive action. - — Publicity stunt NYCLU lawyer Lawrence Faulkner feels the “no women” policy was a publicity stunt that got out of hand. “Any accommodation that excluded Blacks or Jews or Polish wouldn’t be regarded as a joke, it would be taken very seriously,” he said. “Our feeling is that he [Mr. Zoccolillo] regarded this as a joke, but it’s a gross insult and a flagrant violation of the law. “The burden of proof,” Mr. Faulkner added, “will be on him to prove that the action didn’t cause injury.” would lead people to finally take the matter seriously. ‘If you use a class of women to make money, the only just compensation is financial,” she asserted.

Deep Throat returned in its edited version but Mr. Zoccolillo decided to bar women after allegedly receiving ten to fifteen tails daily from women, objecting to the showing of the film. Mr. Zoccolillo’s lawyer David Jay said the manager “made a mistake which he has freely admitted.” He claimed no one was damaged materially by the policy, which lasted less than a week. ‘It is inappropriate and vindictive for these women to sue for damages,” Mr. Jay maintained.

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

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

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

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

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

Blit there it was, buried on page ten of Tuesday’s New York Times (that bastion of radicalism which annually reports a profit of several million dollars). The headline read, “Communists Take Heavy Toll of Saigon’s Forces Near Capital’’ (why is it that it’s perfectly acceptable to refer to one side as the communists but referring to the other as ‘The Capitalists’ is considered radical rhetoric?). At any rate, the story had to do with some battle 2S miles from Saigon in which thousands of casualties have been reported on both sides. But, both sides of what? How can there be - casualties when there is no war? The next thing you know, the television networks will pick this, crap up and we’ll be forced to watch people dying from a surplus of bullets and a deficiency of rice while we consume our $1.20 a pound hamburger (disgraceful how these prices have gone up).

Beyond Nixon While the impeachment of an American President cannot be considered a cure-all for society's ills, the thorough, eloquent, almost solemn search for truth that has characterized the deliberations of the House Judiciary Committee is certainly worthy of praise. Instead of degenerating into a "lynch mob" or "kangaroo court," as Mr. Nixon and company would have us believe, 28 Democrats and Republicans have clearly articulated why they feel the President did not do his utmost to see that the laws "were faithfully executed." Men like Robert McClory and Tom Railsback, whose anguish over bucking the Republican party leadership was evident throughout the discussions, can be admired for placing conscience before practicality. And even 'Tteps. Wiggins and Sandman, two of the President's staunchest and most partisan supporters, did their best to explain in detail why they opposed impeachment. If there has been one dark spot during the week-long televised debates, it has been the behavior of local Congressman Henry P. Smith (R., Tonawanda). While his anti-impeachment colleagues spent hours justifying their votes, he sat there in stony silence. Some months ago, Mr. Smith intimated that he was deeply troubled by the allegations that Nixon had obstructed justice, and he has been a critic of the illegal bombing of Cambodia. Vet he voted for neither of these articles, without so much as explaining why. His reluctance to defend his position lends credence to charges by critics that he has been compromised by a desire to be appointed to a United Nations post. Looking beyond impeachment, it must be realized that Nixon's departure will only be the beginning of what must become a thorough housecleaning of American government. 'The second reconstruction is immediately ahead of us," as columnist Pete Hamill has observed. In other words, impeachment will have been a waste of time if we do not carefully repair the system that spawned men like Richard Nixon. With the same zeal which characterized its impeachment investigation. Congress must enact strict campaign laws that would *■' prohibit corpdrtitions like ITT from purchasing elections and £ compromising the actions of Presidents. Members of Congress must also V continue to assert themselves in other areas if they are ndt to' be i i ■ emasculated by future Presidents. The unquenchable thirst for profit by large supercorporations at the expense of the American working class must come to an end, and every individual's right to privacy must be upheld at any cost.

Any such president would carry out the same racist, imperialist, anti-labor policies of the Nixon administration. The solution to the “impeachment crisis” is not a “cleaner” president, but rather, the mobilization of the working class to take power. The labor movement must demand new elections in order to put forward a labor candidate counterposed to the program and candidates of the Democrats and Republicans.

Behind the building they built a hill, and are planning to sell outdoor tickets for future concerts; the back of the building has special doors that open up, and provide an excellent view of the stage with all the sound at half price. Convenient free parking is also provided, and about ten minutes before the doors o|»ened, the lot filled with a mixed bag of Miles fans from all over the area Everyone was there: Joe Zawinal, Sugar Ray Robinson, Bill Savino, Jack Nicholson, Art Carney, Philip Oliva, Bob Seagren, Margaret Meade, Betty Sands. We all sat outside the concert hall, waiting for Miles to come on stage and talking about the many features of the new white monument. Phil Silvers told us all about the stage, how it was 60 feet deep, and had 109 configurations. Jack Nicholson told me there was no mechanical ventilation system. Instead, a series of panels along the walls naturally kept the air circulating, but did not allow for any smoking in the hall. On stage Suddenly there was a blare of sound from Inside Miles had made his appearance. I rushed to my seat, and just in time, because Miles never says a word on stage: all of a sudden he'll signal the band to begin, whether you are in your seat or not. And that's exactly what he did. He gave the drummer a nod, a funky rhythm picked up, and the race was on. Miles says that he never announces the members of his band in order to confuse the critics who "don't do nothin'." I recognized only two members; Steve Grossman played soprano sax and electric flute, and Reggie Lucas worked on his guitar. There was Tall 'n' Skinny on electric bass, Joe Rhythms on congas, Fatty the Pirate was the second guitarist and percussionist, and Billyjack DeJoncobham was the drummer. There was an electric piano sitting on stage, but no one sitting behind it. I was hoping Lonnie Liston Smith might have taken the wrong subway and was a little late. We would soon see. Miles also never announces the names of the songs he's so helpful I just love him. The first number caught the stage by surprise, and filled it up with sound too fast. Everyone was playing at once, with Miles bent over his Niagara-Mohawk trumpet, the bass player behind shades smiling, Reggie Lucas looking very insecure, and the sound building and building till Miles turned around and signaled . . . everyone stopped playing at once, while Miles noddled around on his horn. After a few runs he gave another signal and they all immediately began playing again, as if they had never stopped. — Stop and go He would do that very often, stop and start the band as if they were a record and he was the needle. Steve Grossman ended up playing by himself very often, and doing very well. The only white man in the group, he knew his place and made the most of it. My favorite parts were when the drummer would calm down, and the guitars would turn down till the conga player stood out, and Miles would play his horn, like a waltz through an electric jungle. Then he would wave his arms and the band would start flying again. Miles ended the mystery of the electric piano half way through the first set, when he walked over it it, trumpet in his left hand, and began playing piano with his right, like an amputated Sun Ra. By the end of the evening he had spent more time at the piano then with his horn. The only song in the first set that I knew was a riff from the second side of Jack Johnson. At one point Miles picked up his yellow jacket, and walked off the stage. It was the end of the first set. Miles' music is still unlike anyone else's. This band wasn't filled with his usual assortment of superstars, but they were good. They weren't very tight, but since I don't think that was an objective of the music, it isn't really a valid criticism. Miles constantly dropped hints of where he could take the songs, but rarely went. It's better in analogy: while most musicians play in the street, giving a clear indication of the direction, Miles is jumping around in the houses along the way. You never know which backyard he'll scoot across next, but when it’s all over he's outlined a crazy-quilt street. And along the way you get to see some pretty outasite living rooms Part two The second set started with Miles changing his shirt. Then the band launched into the full, funky side of Jack Johnson, with Reggie Lucas taking a great solo, very bluesy and a tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Miles flew to Seattle for Jirrii's funeral, he likes to say. Reggie's got that Hendrix moustache and stands way back in the shadows, making funny faces as he plays. He's also a.cutie. Near the end he faked playing the guitar with his teeth, and when he brought it back down he had a big grin on his face. Miles did his most powerful solo on J.J.. He took off the mute on the trumpet, kicked aside the wah-wah pedal, and blew away. He once more signaled the band to completely stop, and hunched over and played alone for a minute, and when he gave the band the cue to start up again they went into this super electric bop rhythm, an echo from Miles ten years ago, and it was just fine. I must say a word about Fatty the Pirate. He sat at a table on one side of the stage, and he had three electric guitars ready to use, plus metal mushrooms and xylophones. He played funny rock and roll licks, and generally enjoyed'himself. What he did unbelievably was put a pick up on a thumb piano, and played electric thumb piano, and if that isn't a sign of the electric devil, well, this be able to mix it right. But no, Lightfoot opened with 'The Watchman's Gone," and OUCHI His vocal mike was about ten times louder than everything else put together, and his voice distorted, crackled and split ears. (Later on, he finally lowered it himself, which helped a bit.) Because of the nature of acoustic music, it is especially essential that- you have a clear, sensitive sound system, so there was an immediate disadvantage. Rare performer ln the program book, Lightfoot is described as "one of those rare performers who is acknowledged to sound better in concert than on record." This may be true, but it certainly was not the case Friday night. He spoke very little to the crowd, and the repertoire, which included most of Sundown as well as the standards ('The Soldier," "If You Could Read My Mind," etc.) basically sounded like the album cuts sans everything but bass, rhythm and lead guitar. Also, he played a total of 55 minutes, and with people paying up to $7.50 (that's about one dollar per ten The conga player, otherwise called Mtume, would to his amp and by turning some device a giant whirrling sound would envelope the stage. I could find walk over what instrument he was playing, and by the exact science of guessing I think it was a tape recorder. Miles will try just about anything, and with the world of Thomas Edison around us, much more is possible. Everything on stage'was electrified, and I was worried that with Miles occasionally spitting on the floor, somebody would get a nasty shock. Instead I think Miles saw what I did: one of the walls of the building started to buckle a little for the intensity of the sound, and Miles once again walked off the stage, this time for good, and was nice enough to give us a wave of his very talented hand. Mtume stayed on for another minute and did a conga solo, and then It was all over the back wall started to collapse, everyone rushed out of the building, and we watched the concert hall crumble and roll into the Niagara River. —Jeffrey Benson nobody who knew — minutes) to see just his act, certain parties were justifiably annoyed However. Although I almost don't want to say this, there is talent here that simply cannot be ignored. Lightfoot didn't introduce the band, so I don't know who to credit, but (once I adjusted to the sound system), I could hear something very subtle and enticing happening. Between Lightfoot's rhythm guitar, the lead guitar and the bass, the three men very adeptly maintained a tapestry of delicate proportions: a musical spectrum with the overall quality of wind chimes. For this reason, it was the ballads, which are more delicate in feeling, that were most successful in reaching me like 'Too Late For Prayin'." Gordon did two songs written by others: 'Tennessee Stud" and 'The Auctioneer Song." He made an attempt at humor on the first by changing a line from "rode all night til my back was sore" to "til my ass was raw." 'The Auctioneer Song" has a chorus which is a musical rendition of an auctioneer's pitch Steve Goodman does it much better. Having no expectations, I had, on the whole, a fairly pleasant evening. However, everyone knew (including Lightfoot, I'm sure), that he could put out quite a bit more without much more effort, and when pleasant could have been excellent so easily, it's disappointing. ocqS tii -WillaBassen * Gordon Lightfoot So that's it. I was wondering why the Gordon UgRtfoot concert scheduled for 10:30 didn't start until 11:15. Now I understand. It took a while to rebuild jjhe theater. They did a pretty good job, though, and all the neatly dressed, upright looking people who constituted the vast majority of the audience neatly filed into their neat seats without even noticing the rush job. The inside of the theater is futuristic: clean lines, arches, bright colors and a vast stage with a black curtain that is very oppressive when empty. I think they shot the whole load on the building, because the sound system was really poor.

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

Idiot's Delight. Having said these favorable things about That’s Entertainment, I must point out a flaw in the way it was assembled. The film is narrated by a group of big-name stars (Liz Taylor, Mickey Rooney, Liza Mannelli . .) and it may fool some people into thinking that it's a fair look at MGM studios. True, the stars take some minor digs at the stuido, but the general tone is" that of children reminiscing about a sometimes arbitrary, but always firm and loveable daddy. That's not really a true picture, according to some other stars who worked for the studio. By anyone's stnadards, it certainly isn't a balanced view. I would have preferred a more historical approach than the sentimentally distorted one director/ writer/ producer Jack Haley Jr. gives us. Even better would have been the inspired pseudo-documentary job that a good young director narration: Simple-minded Bronson's movies are not as harmless as comic they establish good-bad books, although relationships in the same simple-minded way. Most comic books do not allow their heroes to carry guns, and most comic book heroes have never actually killed anyone. Violence in comic books is bloodless and incredibly stylized so that the conflicts become little different from chess games. Whatever messages the comics spout in their occasionally-inspired trashy way, they do not condones, any kind of killing or maiming for any reason. In the Bronson films, it's okay to kill as long as you kill the right guy. In fact, the deck is stacked so unfairly, that if you don't kill, you're either stupid or a sissy-pants. In either case you're dead content to remain there an economically complex and developed nomadic and subsistent one, yet both groups The sailors represent society: the Eskimos a create harmony by exchanging customs. Although much pleasure is derived by the immediate exchange, the drawback stems from a failure to fully understand what motivates the other's ideas and actions. The use of an Eskimo tribe as a vehicle for the notion that evil is a conditional concept is the real success of the film. The microscopic allows us to accept the conclusion of the film as probable and necessary, but not without reservations as we must decide the approach notorious Hollywood, artistry, in one film he's called "Mr. Majestyk," in the other he's dubbed "The Vigilante."

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

The three convincing sailors represent a variety of human natures of a functional but inflexible system as a survival mechanism. The performances are credible, although the characters fall victim to a sometimes strained screenplay which lacks subtlety and depth. Fine-point editing would have taken care of this pitfall.

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

Stars (Cicely Tyson, Ethel Merman, Michael Tilson Thomas); a huge balloon emblazoned "Artpark;" and, of course, a fireworks display. The regular concerts also had a rather good start; although relatively few showed up to see Miles Davis, Gordon Lightfoot sold out. And with Commander Cody and David Bromberg coming on August 7, Roger McGuinn on August 8, and Harry Chapin on August 10, the Artpark's musical offerings should at least be well-attended.

The unusual “t” crossings indicate variously, resourcefulness, sensitivity, idealism, determination and secretiveness.

Bugs was a. model in the comic tradition that stretches from Odysseus to Hawkeye and Trapper hipsters who the big, all-out John confrontation, essence against essence, who roll with the punches, who master the feint, the who survive to munch their dodge, the swindle carrots and chuckle at the blustering, driven self-assertion of their antagonists. Recall the classic episode in which Bugs artfully dodges the machinations of Wile E., given voice and genius for this cartoon, both of which he was fond of exhibiting. Ah, Bugs, you knew.

Not that it lacks high theater. The Supreme Court, quietly compromising substantial differences, legitimizes our constitutional agony with stunning theatrics. The opinion was unanimous, without either concurrent opinion or dissent, read by a Chi?f Justice, appointed by the very President who is' instructed to obey the law. It is pot a ihoderateiy distinguished Minnesota lawyer, but The Law itself, decreeing that the President turn over the tapes. The tone js| solemn. - - - On these men and women and some others rests the nation. It’s enough to give the cynic back his sense of civic virtue. In all, though, it reinforces a disturbing insight of Gary Wills in The New York Review of Books. The scene is the funeral of the late Chief Justice Earl Warren, Nixon standing stonily as the first funeral orator celebrates Warren’s honor and decency. Standing in the transept, studying Nixon’s studied woodenness, the real enormity of our situation hits me. Nixon has made integrity itself a partisan issue! Any mention of honesty in his presence is an implied rebuke. At the end of the Civil War, America had a moment when it could have remade itself into a just, free society. Instead, the Robber Barons stole the country. They made it safe for American Capitalism, and set in motion the events that have brought us to where we are now. The American corporations set up the need for foreign empire, the hurtling into ideological wars that were none of our business, the licensing of the CIA, the creation of the United States as the devil image for most people of decency in most countries of the world. In the wake of the Nixon disaster (it should not be dignified with the word tragedy), we should all begin to raise our voices for decency and justice and freedom. The Second Reconstruction is immediately ahead of us. It can be ruined, as the first one was, by greed, believe Nixon’s number is up.

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

Intramural —continued from page 1— without funding, but to start with a deficit would have been more than we would be capable of.” Since it began publishing six years ago, Ethos has confronted both ups and downs at budgeting time. Just last summer, Sub-Board allocated funds for the establishment of a separate-production room, allowing Ethos to do its own layout and composition (which previously had been handled by University Press). Lester Goldstein, assistant to Sub-Board’s Executive Director, was instrumental in drawing up the outline. He termed the decision not to fund the publications “agonizing” but explained that it was necessitated by ‘Sub-Board I s current financial state” which prohibited it from duplicating services. “While every publication is unique, funding all of the publications in this year youwl divert funds from other essential, unique and unparallelled programs and services,” Mr, Goldstein added. The other publications recommended for zero-funding were Women's Voices, ARI Collective Spirits, and The Buffalo Veterans Newsletter. Sub-Board, while previously supplying funds to some groups for production costs, was not the publisher of these magazines. The Spectrum's recommended budget was slightly higher than last year’s, but nearly $20,000 less than requested. The Day Care Center was not recommended for funding because the Student governments failed to commit money for its operation as they had in the past. Mr. Fisher said he was never warned of the impending recommendation, and will now be forced to seek out alternative sources of income. The search has thus far been unsuccessful, but he is confident that operating cutbacks, advertising revenue, and perhaps a small subsidy from Sub-Board will pernpt the magazine to continue at the reduced level of a bi-weekly. softball results As summer intramurals draw closer and closer toward playoff time, tight battles loom large for the fifth and final playoff spot in both the American (Monday-Wednesday) league and the National (Tuesday and Thursday) league. In the American League, the Warlords completed a dominating 9-0 slate, scoring 229 runs to their opponents 39. From there, it’s a tight scramble.

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

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

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

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

Merton W. Ertell, an associate chancellor for special projects at State University of New York (SUNY) central headquarters in Albany, will assume the vacated post until a new Academic Affairs vice-president is appointed. Dr. Ertell was a member of the State University at Buffalo faculty His actions prompted former from 1946—69, and has served as Student Association (SA) Dean of University College, President Jon Dandes to file a assistant vice-president for class action grievance on behalf of educational affairs, and director the 200 students affected by the cancellation. Mr. Dandes also of institutional research. These and other remarks like “every list has a top and a bottom and something has to be at the bottom of every list,” aroused fears that the budgets* of lower ranked departments would be slashed and led many faculty to believe that as the school’s top academic official. Dr. Gelbaum had demonstrated a disturbing inability to communicate with them. During the past three years, Dr. Gelbaum frequently alienated members of the Collegiate System. In March, 1973, he Dr. Gelbaum’s resignation had been anticipated by some segments of the University. During the past few months, there had been scattered speculation that President Robert Ketter few would be making a administrative changes as soon as he was officially appointed for another five year term; In his self-evaluation that was circulated in May, Dr. Ketter had stated that while “the assembling of a functioning administrative team was adequately handled under initial circumstances we are now at a point where continued improvements in personnel and structure can and will be made.” B instructor, without explaining that year, Dr. why. Later Gelbaum came under fire from both faculty and students for allowing College D to secede from the Collegiate Assembly . By giving this allegedly “straight” college access to direct funding, many felt he had violated the by-laws of the Faculty-Senate, which give it the authority to establish or dismantle academic units. Dr. Gelbaum was also criticized for circumventing the procedures outlined in the Collegiate Prospectus which formerly gave the Collegiate Assembly the sole authority to be the policy-making body for the by Mitchell Regenbogen and Sparky Alzamora — — : ... Gelbaum told The Spectrum that “indirect influences” had played no part in his decision to resign. In a letter of resignation dated July 15, he wrote Dr. Ketter that “on a number of occasions and in a variety of contexts, 1 have stressed the view that a university has a deep obligation and an unparalleled opportunity to serve the community through teaching and research. At this junction,” the letter stated, “a number of programs and projects onsonant However, Dr. requested removed that Dr. Gelbaum be as Academic Affairs vice-president, in a letter to Dr. Ketter, An editorial appearing in the January 25 issue of The Spectrum also recommended that Dr. Gelbaum be replaced, stressing that “any real progress or communication between students and the Administration remains impossible with Dr. Gelbaum in his present post.” Dr. Ketter subsequently reinstated several of the courses, and ordered a review of the cancelled courses by the three University-wide Deans. Prior success Ironically, Dr. Gelbaum’s appointment in June, 1971 had been hailed by students, faculty and administrators. In several years as an administrator at the University of California at Irvine, he had earned a reputation for being “an articulate promoter of University of Higher the Education,” and “a champion of student needs.” While at Irvine, he had reportedly set in motion policies allowing students to serve on review committees for appointment, promotion and termination of faculty. “We really “terminated” Jonathan Ketqham, a well-liked and innovative College Collegiate System. Appointed self the growing tensions his Office and the Colleges, Dr. Gelbaum appointed himself acting Director of the Colleges two months later, at a time when the Collegiate System was undergoing extensive Tensions between re-evaluation Dr. Gelbaum and the Colleges reached a peak when he designated Curtis BennPt to be his assistant for the Colleges, even though the Collegiate Assembly had rejected him as director by a 9-1 vote.' Although Dr. Gelbaum is to be an excellent reputed mathematics instructor, his unswerving support for the system of granting “one credit per contact hour,” or the five-course load, led many students to believe student against he was self-initiative and any form of innovation. Gelbaum Discussing the resignation, Faculty-Senate Cha man George Hochfield felt former Academic the vice-president was insensitive to the humanities and the arts and incapable of understanding their role in a University. “He never communicated real ideas about the educational future of the University, except in his primitive action of rating the University’s Despite between ; Merton Ertell Bernard Gelbaum with this position have reached stages where they require my close attention, undistracted by the other demands of my office.

Last January, he ignited massive protests from student leaders and During University officials by ordering the. cancellation of 16 on-going College E courses without consulting Dr. Ketter or Dean of Undergraduate Education Charles Ebert. In justifying his some action, Dr. Gelbaum had claimed the credentials of the instructors were “not adequate.” went out to meet the student halfway and we found him always to be respected and heard,” Dr. Gelbaum was quoted as saying soon after his appointment. But only a year later, in the fall of 1972, Dr. Gelbaum was heavily criticized by faculty and students for drafting an Academic Plan for the University with little input from faculty and no input from students, who he said would be “consulted” before the plan was put into effect. Claiming that he had “consulted every single provost and dean,” Dr. Gelbaum recommended that mathematics, social, physical and natural sciences be given priority over the arts and certain humanities, which he felt were “food for the mind . . . a luxury rather than a necessity.” departments, which was an of his .intellectual poverty,” Dr. Hochfipld claimed. indication No rapport He also criticized Dr. Gelbaum for an inability to communicate with faculty. ‘The Academic VP should understand the problems of education,” Dr. Hochfield stressed. “He had ho educational ideas, no rapport with the faculty.” Dispelling rumors that Dr. Gelbaum had been pressured to resign. Dr. Hochfield did not —continued on page 4— by Howie Kurtz Special to The Spectrum WASHINGTON A minimum of five Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are now expected to join all 21 Democrats this weekend in a recommendation that President Nixon be impeached, thus increasing the likelihood that the full House will vote to try Mr. Nixon in the Senate. — The Judiciary Committee has narrowed its massive mountain of evidence into three broad areas, to be translated into Articles of Impeachment; Mr, Nixon’s obstruction of justice in the Watergate cover-up; his abuse of the Presidency by creating a White House political espionage unit approving the legal surveillance and wiretaps, and misusing federal agencies for political purposes; and contempt of Congress and the courts by refusing to obey subpeonas for evidence. The fourth charge, involving tax fraud for illegal deductions which led to Mr. Nixon’s being assessed 5432,000 in back taxes, is given less of attracting chance bi-partisan support. Massive evidence The Tuesday announcement late by Representative Lawrence Hogen, R., Maryland, that massive evidence was forcing him to vote for the President’s impeachment, was attacked by the White House as prompted by political expediency. Mr. Hogen is running for Governor of Maryland, a Democratic state, but said he felt his decision would lose him much GOP support in his gubernatorial bid. Representative Robert McClory, the second ranking Republican from committee Illinois, recently began speaking publicly about all the men around the President who have been convicted or indicted for crimes. McClory, an influential GOP vote, is now considered a strong to vote for possibility impeachment. Other Republicans considered likely to vote for the President’s impeachment are Representative William Cone of Maine, Representative Hamilton Fish of upstate New York, and Representative Tom Railsback of Illinois, whose vote, like McClory’s, will have impact in the House. With Representative Hogen, these five Republicans, together with the committees 21 Democrats, would produce a 26-1 2 vote for impeachment. With every congressman’s seat up for election, such a margin is expected to persuade enough House Republicans to vote for Smith Nations feel is seeking the United appointment, which some influence may Republican M.

The Easter Seal of Erie County, located at Public School 84, is a summer adventure for handicapped children. The general objectives of the program are to assist the “socialization" of the children, explained camp director Diane DeBacy, since the children’s disabilities in most playground or street activities exclude them from participating. The handicapped arc frequently over-protected; accustomed to having others there to dress them and help them with their corrective aids.

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

Significant findings from these individual reports are often Congress medical suggest that light or occasional use of cannabis has serious deleterious effects.” Those who smoke an average of seven cigarettes a day, concluded, would the report probably not experience any brain damage. According to Dr. Bryant, some doctors draw conclusions without any scientific data whatsoever to support their allegations. David Powelson, a researcher at the of California at University Berkeley, claims that marijuana “is the most dangerous drug we must contend with . . . (it) leads to a deterioration of body and functioning which is mental difficult and perhaps impossible to reverse.” While acknowledging that Dr. Powelson “certainly has a right to his opinions,” Dr. Bryant felt they “should not be confused with medical research.” Women banned Linda Lovelace—for men only by Charles Blaise Spectrum Staff Writer — — halo Zoccolillo has his hands full Mr. Zoccolillo took over the management of Main Street’s famed Granada theater just a few weeks ago after the Buffalo Solaticious Literature Squad had pulled a hat trick by busting the Granada's previous manager and confiscating its double bill of Deep Throat and The Devil in Miss Jones. Deep Throat returned but in its edited version. Mr. Zoccoiillo claims he received 10 to IS calls a day from irate neighborhood women who expressed investigated by HEW. Because of what Dr. Bryant termed “inadequate controls” on their research, startling claims made by individual researchers are often later disproved. Many times, however, the public is left with the impression from the original findings. New links Chromosone damage, normally attributed to the use of LSD, has been linked to marijuana by Dr. Morton Stenchever of the University of Utah. “Persons using marijuana on any regular basis take the chance of having abnormal offspring or developing forms of cancer,” Dr. Stenchever stated. Hardin Jones, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, concurred with Dr. Stenchever’s findings, adding that chromosone damage “is roughly the same type and degree of damage as in persons surviving atom bombing with a heavy level of radiation exposure.” The third annual HEW report to Congress disputes these findings, claiming there is very little evidence that such abnormalities can develop from the use of marijuana. Further damage? Robert G. Heath of Tulane University has charged that marijuana causes brain damage. His finding was based on experiments with rhesus monkeys who were given marijuana dosages of 20 to 240 cigarettes a day. Noting that this dosage was extraordinarily high, the HEW report summarized: “There continues to be little evidence to p.m., but when zero hour rolled around, only one stood outside the individual Mr. Zoccolillo theater in the flesh. Mr. Zoccolillo had anticipated trouble but seemed amused at the prospect of an organized rally in front of his theater. “I’m just trying to keep the community as calm and quiet as possible,” he said. He told me about the phone calls he had received, “10 to 15, it could have been more,” and I believed him. Sort of. displeasure at Ms. Linda Lovelace and her seemingly unorthodox activities. After nearly a week of phone calls (phoned anonymously, no less), Mr. Zoccolillo acted decisively, if not hastily. Women banned The Granada’s new policy is that women are not permitted to view any showing of “Deep Throat” at any time. Mr. Zoccolillo’s problems did not end there, obviously. The New York Civil Liberties Union is now seeking an injunction barring Mr. Zoccolillo from excluding any class of adults. A few days after Mr. Zoccolillo’s controversial edict was made public, I heard about a rally being planned by women protesting the Granada’s “Men Only” policy. The rally was to begin promptly at 8 — Freudian slip He interrupted my questioning with a thought “Do you know what Sigmund Freud said on his deathbed.” “Excuse me, sir.” “Do you know what Sigmund Freud said on his deathbed?” “No, I don’t.” “Well then, I’ll tell you. Sigmund Freud, on his deathbed, mind you, said What in heaven’s name do women want? What in heaven's name do they want?!! Personally, I had never given it a thought. I doubt Mr. Zoccolillo knew either. But his shouting had attracted a group of women lingering around the theater, who were perhaps waiting for the rally to begin. For the next hour, I scribbled notes and listened. I did not have to ask another question. Mr. Zoccolillo told the women exactly what he had told me, including the Sigmund Freud joke. They were not amused. Next, he tried a story geared toward their em pathetic senses. “I had a theater in Paduka, Kentucky where I’ve never been hassled so much. They had a lady mayor there who busted my theater four times in three years ...” Seeing that he was not getting the desired response, Mr. Zoccolillo rolled his eyes and muttered, “What do they want from me?” ; Bang, bang More questions were fired by the women at machine gun speed. Mr. Zoccolillo side-stepped each one rather nicely but was running out of sidewalk. “Are you allowing women to decide the morality of other women?” “The women forced me to do it.” “How can you think all women could be easily pushed around?” “I would rather face a man or an animal.” “Will you consider taking down the ‘No Women’ sign?” “I’ll think about it very seriously.” By this time, Mr. Zoccolillo was exasperated. He could not wait any longer to pull out his trump card. “Please ladies, I’ve been arrested for people’s rights.

The two rulings will affect all permanent federal employees nearly the entire federal work force. Public workers at lower levels could also be affected because many states and cities have modeled their civil services laws on the federal - — statute. The cast originated with Wayne Kennedy, a field representative ■ with the Office of Economic Opportunity in Chicago. He was fired in March, 1972 after he had charged, without proof, that his immediate superiors had offered a $100,000 bribe to a community action organization. Face his accusers After a move by his boss to dismiss him, Kennedy demanded a trial-type hearing with an opportunity to cross examine his accusers. When this was refused he went to court. A three-judge federal court in Illinois ruled for Kennedy, stating that the statute was so vague and overbroad that federal workers “can only guess as to what utterances may cost them their jobs.” But the Supreme Court overturned the lower tourt’s ruling, stating that the law did not inhibit free speech, with Justice Rehnquist asserting that “it proscribes only that public speech which improperly damages and impairs the reputation and efficiency of the employing agency.” He added that although it would be “impractical" to make the law more specific, it “efficiency of the service” standard had been left so vague that “even truthful criticism of an agency that in any way tends to disrupt its operation” could justify firings.

Between 1959 and 1972, beverage consumption in the U.S. rose 33%.

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

Remarked Senator Mark Hatfield of Oregon and a sponsor of the bill recently: “A laundry list exists where blind obedience to technology has created a host of problems. The beverage container area provides the chance to reject this throwaway ethic spawned by the idolatry of technology.” “Environmentalists and citizens who have been involved in local recycling efforts know that source reduction, reducing the amount of solid waste generated, is the cheapest, th? fastest and the most ecological means of attacking the problem,” says Pat Taylor of Environmental Action, a public interest group in Washington. left'.' The soft 'jdriijk bottling' industry is the same. Ini 1947 definite problem of society unnecessary product carelessness.” ... an of human Recovery systems To combat this “carelessness,” the industry proposes the passage of statewide anti-litter laws, increased public education (Keep America Beautiful has set up a program to examine “attitudes that lead to littering”) and the installation of "resource recovery systems” in major U.S. cities. William May, chairman of the American Can Company claims Consumer demands industry The container maintains that the non-returnables were developed in response to “consumer demands,” and to eliminate them is to eliminate “free trade” and “freedom of choice in the marketplace.” However, opponents feel the primary motivation for the introduction of the non-returnable was higher profits. The rise of the throwaway "provided the medium through which monopolization of the soft industry could drink be achieved.” said Peter Chokola, owner of a small bottling company in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. In AFL-CIO, has allied itself with industry in dead opposition to the bill. B • ; « £ Vri s’ e ‘ e of that most crucial. returnable/refillables are Loss of jobs Ingredients in a account for only “ . economically.” It is true that a ban on non-returnables would mean that some workers would loose their jobs. But other jobs would be created by reinstituting a returnable bottle system. In fact, the beverage industry through monopolization and the shutting down of many small bottlers has done more than its share of laying off workers precisely because of the non-return system. And increased automation in still existing plants has also cost many workers their jobs. However, even with the assurance of new jobs created by the bo(f1e bill to take the place of those that will be lost, much of organized labor, most notably the federal law is this, feels there were 5 200 bottlers; in 1970 the number had dropped to 1600. A returnable deposit bottle system “imposes a natural limitation on the market area served by any bottling company,” Chokola explains, the limitation being the distance a delivery truck can carry filled bottles and return empties. “Thousands of small and medium hometown bottling plants were therefore necessary to market beverages.” But the big bottlers began to recognize the benfits inherent in a system in which products could be shipped out without any need to return empties. They then proceeded to swallow up the smaller bottlers or force them to close down altogether. The industry’s secondline of defense against the bottle bills, far more threatening than any ideological justification, is simply to shut down. As one Seven-Up executive put it; . . if the bill [is] enacted, industries would shut down, thousands would be out of work and the city (New York in this case] would suffer . • Mandatory deposits Modeled after the Oregon law, the proposed federal bill sets a ■y- 1950, there were 407 breweries in the U.S., but by 1966, there were only 115 and today only 64 are Presently, if a state moves to pass a bottle bill, industry can threaten to move to another state to escape the law, but with a national law there’s no escaping. Industry is also quick to claim that the cost of beverages will go up if a bottle bill is passed. According to a recent study by Beverage Industry magazine, a thousand non-returnable twelve bottles cost $42.33 compared with $83.42 for the same size returnable. But, ounce soft drink actually cheaper for consumers for several reasons. Ten trips First, although the cost of a thousand returnables is almost twice the cost of non-returnables, the extra cost is recouped with use. In Oregon for instance, studies have shown that returnables make at least ten trips. increased Beverage Industry .Manual 1973-1974 statistics show that the major expense in the production of beer is not ingredients or transportation, but packaging. barrel of beer 12% of its cost while packaging accounts for 56% a cost which is passed on to the - consumer. The president of Coca Cola USA, Lucian Smith, testified before the Senate that “Coke sold in food stores in non-returnable packages is priced, on the average, 30 to 40% higher than Coca Cola in returnable bottles. The difference lies essentially in the different costs of packaging.” In addition, returnables are far less of a strain on natural resources.

Dr. Gelbaum's exclusionary academic plan, his support for the five-course load, his self-appointment last October as director of the Colleges, and his mechanical cancellation of 16 College E courses all succeeded in alienating just about every segment of the University. And worst of all, they helped sink this institution into an academic quagmire that is far cry from the days when education here was characterized by a spirit of inquiry and genuine experimentation. The departure of many liberal faculty during the past five years, the general feeling of unexcitement, and a corporation-like atmosphere all attest to the fact that this university has in many ways become a degree-granting factory. Dr. Gelbaum's resignation provides President Ketter with an unparalled opportunity to appoint a forward-looking, concerned, innovative individual who can reverse this near-fatal trend toward total academic stagnation. Because students ultimately bear the brunt of the University's academic policies,' it is imperative that Dr. Ketter make certain they have a loud voice in appointing the new Academic vice-president. Students must be willing to go all-out to ensure that the new Academic VP is not chosen simply because he is less controversial than Or. Gelbaum was, since such an appointee might still share Gelbaum's educational beliefs. This institution at a time of grave academic crisis can Jll-afford to spend another year twiddling its thumbs while innovative education is going down the drain. I find Pete Hamill’s column in the July 19 issue of The Spectrum repulsive. The idea he put forth concerning bombing Turkey is totally absurd and shows that he has a remedial understanding of the heroin problem in the U.S. and its solutions. The ideology we have of bombing first and looking at the problem later has desecrated the word “peace” and destroyed the world’s respect for us. We have not the — Ignoring the evidence It is now a foregone conclusion that the House Judiciary Committee will have at least enough bi-partisan support to ensure President Nixon's impeachment by the full House of Representatives. But unless the remaining committee Republicans can be moved by the overwhelming evidence against Mr. Nixon within the next few days, his acquittal by the Senate will be virtually assured. It is an utter mockery how anyone lawyer, layman or politician can fail to be swayed by Nixon's barrage of criminal acts simply because of their party affiliation. Simply stated, the Presidential transcripts explicitly show show that Nixon ordered the payment of hush money for Watergate defendants. He is clearly guilty of bribery, one of the impeachable crimes listed in the Constitution. It defies reason how committee members can spend hours studying phrases like "For Christ's sake, get it," or "We've got to cut that off," or "I want you to stonewall it," and then say on nationwide TV with straight faces that Mr. Nixon has been working day and night to "get to the bottom" of Watergate, and never ordered any illegal — — payments. Although there is more than ample evidence that Nixon violated the law on numerous other occasions in the milk case, by approaching the judge in the Ellsberg trial, and by approving an extensive network of political spying and sabotage, which including wiretaps despite all this, the Republicans simply cannot get down on their President. It's enough to make us rejoice that there is such a thing as partisanship; if party loyalties were not at issue and committee members were still unimpressed by the evidence, our goverment would be even more of a spectacle than it — — already is. If by some chance Richard Nixon's systematic degradation of law and common decency is rebuked and he is convicted by the Senate, American democracy will not be greatly improved; nor will the aura of cynicism that seems to have penetrated our lives be at an end. But from a simple, philosophical standpoint, it will mean that a person who tampered with the lives of millions of people, violating their trust again and again, will receive his "just due." For the moment, this will have to suffice. Page six The Spectrum Friday, 26 July 1974 . . & Thank You. William S.

Those of the Congress and judiciary remain concealed, yet the public is led to believe that every minor instance of corruption uncovered is part of a resurgence of ethics in government. The government as Mr. Nixon claims function on a regular basis while impeachment is the number one issue. It cannot attend the everyday affairs of running a country while throwing all of its efforts (and it may prove to be inadequate) into purging the leader. Who is to deal with the problem of inflation when economic advisors and administrators are doubted merely because they are Nixon appointees? The annual 12% inflation that eats away every worker’s income will never be arrested while the legality of those ordained to deal with it is being seriously questioned. When a government goes awry, it goes all the way.. Foreign policy once offered the hope of salvation for a disastrous domestic policy. Now it is in a state of confusion. Cyprus, the Middle East, Northern Ireland, the threat of nuclear proliferation, and the well-publicized but poorly-implemented detente with the Soviet Union and China are; only a few on the long list of problems that the State Department has failed to deal with effectively. cannot — - Our primary contact with each foreign problem is the diplomatic corps. Their job is to relay information back to Washington, while establishing working arrangements with local leaders and serving as peacemakers in accordance with the Nixon administration’s stated aims But how well can these men perform their tasks when the backroom deals, payoffs and outright bribes which bought many of their, positions are public knowledge. The State Department’s reputation is damaged both at home and abroad by each new slight to its integrity. It is hurt even more by Secretary Kissinger’s unexculpated participation in the bugging of his own staff. Our system of justice is working, many claim. But none are quite certain whether it is because of Mr. Nixon or in spite of him. It is justice when a chief executive indicates he is willing to abide only by a “definitive”, high court ruling and then refuses to say even that much when it appears the ruling will be unfavorable to him? How can anyone believe the President wants justice rendered when he withholds evidence from the House Judiciary Committee but latir produces it in an adulterated form for his own defense. The timid House of Representatives permits itself to be degraded as “partisan,” never.thinking to reply that it was a partisan system that built this country and built the heritage of honor that is now being impugned. \ The failure to cooperate with investigators is unforgivable for a man charged with executing the laws of the land. Yet, those whom he hinders hesitate to call it an obstruction of justice. The House Judiciary Committee is certainly not above reproach. They, as much as the President, are on trial before the American people. A failure to vindicate themselves assures the continuation of a morally debased government. The elected officials must end the corruption they have tolerated for years. It is.the supreme challenge, but also the signing of .their own death warrant. For if the cleansing process is complete, it cannot overlook those who tolerated corruption for so long. And if it is not, the guise of honesty will no longer be there to cloak their indiscretions. They may not be politically dead, but their moral decadence wilt serve as passage across the river Stynx. • �Outside Looking In by Clem Colucci continued from last week Benjamin Franklin was far too worldly to be upset. 1 was hardly surprised; any schoolboy knew that despite George Washington, Benjamin Franklin had a more literal claim to the .title “Father of his Country.” And as a typically cosmopolitan 18th century rationalist, he had performed similar service with equal enthusiasm-in England and France. “What may I do for you, young man?” he asked cheerily. I sat down in the fake Chippendale and looked Dr. Franklin over. He was a stout, substantial looking man with a high forehead, two chins, a long nose, spectacles and a receeding hairline. His left foot was heavily bandaged bicause of an attack of gout. It must have in the way and I gotten admired his determined lechery. “My name is Marlowe Spade,” I said, “I’m a private detective.” “Fascinating,” murmured Franklin, who was now sitting up in the bed tinkering with the alarm clock. men of “I’ve been engaged by my clients considerable means representing a large group of people to find something.” they choose to keep anonymous “What?” Franklin asked, sticking a screwdriver - - into the clockworks. “The United States of America “They have,” I said. “I was hoping they Could. 1 was asked to join them I’m an old man now and I have other interests.” - Clara blushed. “Can you help me find it?” 1 asked. “Yes, I can,” he replied. He went to the telephone, dialed, spoke into it softly and hung up. “Marvelous government by the people. There were people who would go a long way to stop this sort of thing. I wanted to thank Paine, but he’d passed out. I left quietly. They were waiting for me when I got to'tny office except for Hamilton, they’d gotten to him. A fellow named Burr had been picked up on a homicide rap in squeaking. Tom Paine was a disagreeable looking man with a - big nose and a bigger hangover. He sat in a broken swivel chair in a cluttered, poorly-lit den with papers strewn all over, several books propped open and an “Impeach the Cox Sacker” sticker on his disorderly file cabinet. I handed him an ice pack and a cup of black coffee. He sipped the coffee, put the ice pack on his Jersey “Well,” said Adams, “1 hope you have some results.” “I do,” I announced. “I know where the United States is.” You could have heard the cockroaches walking around in the vacant office above us. “Where is it?” Jefferson asked. “Right here,” I said spreading my arms. “What are you talking about?” Madison shouted. Sally Hemmings edged her hand toward the gun in her shoulder bag. “It’s been right here under our noses all the time,” 1 handed Jefferson the packet. “Nobody’s stolen it. It simply fell into disuse and it’s hard to recognize now. Years of apathy, cynicism, laziness, poor leadership, poorer followers, people willing to forget the rules to get their way have distorted it.” slowly. head and leaned back “I was wrong,” he said, “these _re the times that try men’s souls.” He leafed through some sheets of yellow legal sized paper covered with an illegible scrawl and threw half of them at, not in, the wastebasket. He missed. ‘•'So you’re looking for the United States, eh?” His eyes bored into me. “The Tories.” “What?” “The Tories,” he repeated, “the goddamned Toriies. They’ve taken over, twisted the revolution, distorted it, perverted it. They got to most of us. Robert and Gouvernor Morris Sam Adams they got to James Otis early Ellsworth, Pinckney, Jay, Gerry, even” his voice shook “even General Washington,” He started to cry. “We’re the only ones left.” He wiped his eyes. “Nobody bothers Tom Paine. No, they think I’m a harmless crank. But I’ve fooled them all. I know where the United States is. I’ve known all the time.” You could’ve knocked me over with a copy of Bobby Breen's latest hits I've already used that line, haven’t I? Paine dug through the mess on his desk down to an autographed picture of George McGovern. "We'll show them yet, George," he said. Under the picture was a thin package of papers. He handed them to me. On top was a copy of the Constitution. I began to read. This was heavy stuff freedom of speech, press, assembly and religion, checks and balances, - — Jefferson was reading - - RRRRING! Franklin juggled the clock frantically and finally shut it off. I’d struck a nerve. “Damned clock,” he muttered. His eyes grew misty, his voice quavered. “The United States, you say? Tom and his boys have done it, then?” but device, the telephone. 1 should have invented it.” He gave me a name and address. I thanked him and left. Before I got into the hall I heard the bedsprings intently. “It’s all there,” I said. “All you have to do is follow the directions.” “Thank you, Mr. Spade,” Jefferson said. They walked out quietly. Sally Hemmings stayed behind for a second. “I’ve been wondering, Sally, what group you represent.” As she Walked out the door, she turned her head and answered: “The American people.” “Well,” I said, “if you can get them together on this you might get things back on the right track in time for the bicentennial.” After she left, 1 never saw them again. A weird bunch but I didn’t mind working for them they paid their bill. — - - - The Pete Hamill Column by Pete Hamill The New York Post Corp. Last week, representatives of the Turkish government offered me an all-expense-paid trip to Turkey. There I could meet the noble arid oppressed poppy farmers of Anatolia, and learn from them why they must remain in the murder business. 1 turned the deal down, of course, because they would only be paying for the trip with American money, either part of the $15 million bribe Richard Nixon paid the Turks to try and get them out of the heroin business, or with part of the billions in foreign aid we have paid the Turks over the years to keep them from having any truck with the dirty, Godless, murderin’ Commies. Most important, I didn’t accept because I really don’t care about the problems of the peasants of Anatolia. To hell with them. I care about New Yorkers. And the decision by the “liberal” new Turkish government to resume full growing of the poppies is going to kill a lot of New Yorkers. It will cause beatings and robberies and homicides. Children who are now in grade .school will end up with Turkish heroin in their veins before they are IS. Kids playing ball in summer fields will end up scratching and filthy, sleeping on rooftops, scoring from degenerates, ‘ ? ready to kill their mothers for a shot of the dope that comes from Turkey via Marseilles. Anatolian peasants can grow something else, or they can starve. But if they insist on killing us, we should be prepared to kill their fields and their homes. So instead of trying to con reporters with trips to the poppy fields, it might be a good idea for New York to invite some of the Turks here, to live with the death and misery they give us. � � � Let Prime Minister Eclivit of Turkey send his kids to Bed-Stuy or the South Bronx for two weeks. Give them what an average New York slum kid gets to spend in a week. Let him live the thoroughly undefended life of a street kid. Let him see how long it is before the kids start jamming horse on the rooftops and in hallways. Let his wife try to raise those kids on a welfare budget. Let her live in a welfare hotel, or scrounge with the rats and cockroaches in one of the great palaces that house human beings in the city. Then have heroin around: See how long it is before someone tries to kill her in a hallway for the pitiful remains of a welfare check, after food is bought for the children. See what happens when she finds out a junkie daughter is turning tricks to support her habit. Let the Prime Minister hang around Bellvue. and watch the OD cases come in, kids with works jammed in their arms, boys who were never young, kids riding the white horse, others who bought hot shots from other junkies. Let him walk through park where they wait in ragged sunkWi-eyed packs, scratching, sucking lemon icis, looking to batter their way to a wallet. Lei this great liberal Turk spend a week locked up in the Tombs. Let him listen to the stories. Let him hear the screams of those going through withdrawal pains, choking on puke, their nerves ragged and distended. Let him try to sleep through a week of midnights in a neighborhood where heioin has spread like cholera, never knowing when the guy with the knife and the gun in his hand will enter, looking for money for dope. That's where the education should begin. The poppy farmers are just farmers. They grow what they can sell. But the people who run the Turkish government know belter. They know that there is no way to control the flow of heroin made from Turkish poppies. They know that and still they have chosen to grow poppies. Well, in that case we know that they have made a cold blooded decision to kilL The last Turkish election made the poppy a major issue, with various candidates vying for the Anatolian and nationalist votes, and there are reports that if the decision to resume farming again is reserved, then the government will fall. That’s just wonderful. Our children will be poisoned, hooked and killed because of Turkish politics. Just wonderful. * * * Bringing hople our Ambassador is just not good enough. Neither are the arguments that -drug addiction is an American problem, not a Turkish problem. Tbat’s like saying that the bombing of Bach Mai Hospital was a Vietnamese problem, not an American problem. The Turkish government knows precisely what it is doing, and. it is a problem for Turkey. A nation of honorable human beings does not collaborate in thekilljng of strangers. 1 still think a good old-fashioned piece of power politics is in order here, gunboats and all. The US. should ask the U.N. for the same economic sanctions it uses against places like Rhodesia, and everything possible should be done to smash the Turkish economy. An ultimatum should be delivered, and evpcy means necessary be used to end this including war disgusting business. It’s too late for nice civilized discussions.

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

Wilson’s pacing (both in regard to his speech and his feet) and concentration, enhanced by the almost-documentary-style camera work in his sections, give a promise as well as a laugh. Somehow I doubt Wilson is interested enough in show-biz these days to give his all to more than a bit part like this one. Still, if he ever decides to, his performance here indicates a possible penchant for serious and beautiful dramatic acting. The life he has formerly reserved for comedy can be channeled to develop a rich character that I’d love to have surprise me sometime in the future. All things considered, I really have gushed in this article, but I’ve waited a long time for a comedy as good in the way this one is as USN. Its plot has a lot of the ingenuity of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To the Forum with characters as rich as those in Dr. Strangelove. It’s got a youthful, lively, explosive attitude and, yet, somehow it always lets you know that it won't take things too far.

Our two heroes factory hand, Steve Jackson (Sidney Poitier) and cabbie, devilishly Wardell Franklin (Bill Cosby) decide to sneak uptown to “Zenobia’s” pleasure palace one Saturday night. When the place is held up that night, they lose their wallets, but since neither one has much money to start with,'it's no great and tragedy, right? Wrong. Because here’s the catch Steve later discovers that the lottery ticket he had been carrying in the stolen wallet is a winner worth 550,000. He and Wardell have just got to get it back from the crooks. And that’s the problem for the rest of the movie. ; , . — — — - - Making sense Uptown Saturday Night (USN) is the sort of comedy movie that I have always loved. It has its crazy sections, but its most lovable feature is that, stripped of the hilarious dialogue and wild characterizations, the bare bones of the plot would make sense in the real world or at least in a serious action movie. Examples: Steve goes uptown Saturday night because he’s on vacation, and because he’s on vacation, he has time to track down the lottery ticket; Warden’s a cab driver, so the pair has mobility; Steve works in a facotry, so he’s strong enough to handle the physical demands in the scene at the As cab driver Warded, Cosby’s broad portrayal steals the show. It brings us back to those days when a heavier, less-hairy Cosby spun those belly-laugh records about his boyhood in the “City of Brotherly Love.” His performance in USN redeems a lot of his disappointing work on television lately. In the old days, what made Cosby fantastic was his unique ability to create strange, vaguely-familiar characters on his records. In USN he is able to mould the character Warded both audibly and visually. We laugh at every move Warded makes just as we used to laugh at every syllable a Cosby record-character would utter. Poitier conceived the story which was imaginatively adapted for the screen by Richard Wesley. In the role of Steve Jackson, Poitier provides a subdued contrast to Warded except when Steve gets scared or, occasionally, must raise his voice, as when he insults Little Seymour; “I hear you’re so ugly, it’s against the law in twenty states to marry you.” Early in the quest for the lottery ticket, Warded lands in jail for one night. “We ain’t gonna do this no more,” he complains to Steve upon his release. “We’re gonna get who knows what they’re doing a private detective . . . yellow I don’t care who!” The one they pages choose is hustler/detective Sharp Eye Washington, energetically played by Richard Pryor. He speaks his lines with nervous grace as his body hurried, frantic tells the real story of a cheap con-man trying to hustle one last sucker before he's nailed. Others our heroes enlist or try to enlist in their quest are Roscoe Lee Browne as pompous, duplicitious Congressman Lincoln, Paula Kelly as Leggy Peggy. Calvin Lockhart as cool Silky Slim, and Harry Belafonte as gang-leader Geechie Dan Beauford. someone ... Warded has a funny, squarish beard that looks ready to jump off his face at any moment. Cosby has often complained “it just doesn't want to grow right." Warded wears a rag of a cabbie's cap, keeps his hand in his pocket, and slouches forward as he walks. Hjs specious apology to Little sounds very a tough hood Seymour much like “Big Brother.Cos" explaining his behavior to his frightening father. — — - Guess who’s directing Cosby's talent tor building characters is so strong, that his influence on some of the other actors can be noticed. Still, the actual director is Sidney Poitier. As a director, Poitier basically plays the film for surprises, laughs and some thrills like in the traditional chase’ scene at the end. - ... - — - - Geechie Dan Godfather I’ve been gushing quite a bit, but I really must admit that Belafonte’s scenes don’t — - - PLUG Uptown Saturday Night is playing at the friendly Loew’s Teck theater, 760 Main Street Friday, 26 July 1974 The Spectrum Page nine . . �Recycling... —continued from used by all industries. of the nation’s containers would save 92,000 barrels of oil a Re-using day. To defeat the numerous state bottle laws which have surfaced in the last couple of years, the container industry has not hesitated to play dirty. Local effects In local Erie County, a bottle bill came to a vote last May in the County legislature. One of the major proponents of the legislation was a group called Housewives to End Pollution. They gathered more than 14,000 signatures within two and a half weeks to show what support the bill had among the citizens. The group’s leader said AFL-CIO and Teamsters Union representatives had met with them for more than four hours, that the legislation would not be allowed to pass. “It was a chilling experience,” the woman said. “They told us, ‘We’ve checked you all out. We emphasizing page 5— know who your husbands are and where they work and how many children you have’.” “The thing that happened with unions really scared us,” she said, afraid, to use her name because whe was still afraid of what would happen to her or her family. “I am now completely disgusted with the democratic process,” she said. The woman said a man who said he was from the Teamsters told them that even if the bottle bill did pass, it would have to be vetoed by the County Extcutive because “he’s in the liquor business and he knows we’ll get him.” During the Erie County battle, Buffalo television WBEN-TV ran an station editorial bill and breweries favoring the bottle immediately several cancelled their advertising. Influence peddling In Vermont, influence peddling took the form of bribery. In an attempt to strengthen the state’s Impeachment legislator, introduced amendments to institute the two-cent standard bottle deposit and to outlaw flip-tops on metal cans.

Lynch mob Pressure on committee Republicans has risen as the White House has stepped up its attacks blasting the committee as a “partisan lynch mob." a “kangaroo court," and a “black spot on jurisprudence.” The White House is attempting to portray the impeachment inquiry as a partisan vendetta of Nixon haters. McGovern liberals, and press, acheiving the occasion to oust the President for ideological reasons. House Republicans have been warned that a vote against a president of their own party would be treasonous, and would result in their being ostracized by party leaders. Both President Nixon and vice-president Gerald Ford warned in no uncertain terms that impeachment votes would effect which candidates for Congress they will support this November. John Erlichmann, formerly Mr. Nixon’s second closest aide, was convicted of approving the breakins by the White House plumbers into the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s former psychiatrist. If Mr. Nixon created the plumbers, the Erlichmann conviction was a definite setback. The Nixon blow came when the Judiciary Committee began making public the evidence it had accummulated since October 1973, when the House voted to establish an inquiry into President Nixon’s impeachment after he fired the former Special Prosecutor, Archibald Cox. Massive documentation of political wiretaps, the illegal surveillance of domestic dissidents, alleged bribery in the dicision to raise milk support prices, hush money payments, and the seamy activating the plumbers began to fill the newspapers. Thus every Republican member of the House, as well as conservative Democrats, must weigh their personal political considerations against the evidence and their consciences in casting this most important vote of their political careers. The pressures on them will build as the focus shifts from the committee to the House floor. Discrepancies The Judiciary’s version of the transcripts released by the White House differed significantly in ways invariably damaging to the President. “Let’s get on with the cover-up plan,” the President is quoted, whereas the White House version has him saying “Get off the cover-up plan.” “Make damn sure I can’t remember, I can’t recall,” the President coached Watergate witnesses, in stronger language than the edited version. President Nixon’s obstruction of justice in the Watergate coverup is the article of impeachment expected to bring the most bipartisan support in the House, because of the evidence Mr. Nixon approved hush money payments, coached witnesses, spawned perjury, made false statements, conveyed Grand Jury information to his indicted aides, and limited the FBI’s initial investigation of Watergate. His firing of Mr, Cox and approach to the judge in the Ellsberg trial will also be listed in this article. But most damaging was a portion of a March 22, 1973 tape which the White House had not even released, in which the President told his aides: “1 don’t give a shit what happens. I want»you to stonewall it, let them plead the Fifth Amendment, coverup or anything else, if it will save it save the plan.” The portion. Presidential Press Secretary Ron Ziegler later said, was “of dubious relevance.” The committee, obviously, disagreed. Broad charge The charge encompassing political espionage and abuse of power also has significant support. One of the dilemmas facing the committee is how broadly to write the impeachment articles, ranging from an article for each specific crime to a broad charge the the President “failed to take care that the laws be faithfully be executed.” A fairly broad charged to be backed up with specific examples is expected. - If a House vote to impeach comes in late August, President Nixon’s lawyers will probably - Vermont ... own impeachment. Abandon neutrality Also adding to the impeachment movement was a plan of Chief Counsel John Doer to make a case bottle law this year, Sam Lloyd, a —continued from page 1 Republicans seemed intent on finding an irrefutable piece of evidence the “murder weapon." The Supreme Court’s 8-0 decision, announced Wednesday, that Mr. Nixon must surrender 64 tapes to Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworsky, has weakened Mr. Nixon’s claim of executive privilege against House subpoenas. If Mr. Nixon defies the high court, and the Republicans concede, he will be sealing his request a month to prepare a defense. The Senate trial, which will take a minimum of two months, would then run past election day. The Community Action Corps has been sponsoring a glass recycling project in the front of Norton Hall.Located at the parking lot between Tower and Norton, the recycling center will accept any brown, green or clear glass. The glass must be rinsed, however, labels can remain. All metal from any glass must be removed before deposited (CAC officials note that many bottles have a metal ring from screw-off tops that must b6 removed). Mr. Nixon’s stonewalling of House subpeonas for evidence has also alienated many Congressmen, some of whom feel it is a continuing part of a coverup to obstruct justice. If the President disobeys the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling, his impeachment will become a certainty. If he complies, the additional evidence may further weaken his defense. that is, to abandon the partial role of neutral presenter of the evidence and to interpret and analyze the evidence as an adovcate of impeachment. That the Judiciary committee will reccommend Before this, Democratic members were reluctant to press impeachment too hard in an effort to appear Mr. Nixon’s impeachment has long been a certainty; non-partisan. With a neutral staff, the committee’s that it will do so with significant Republican support mass of evidence thus lacked a coherent form on is now exremely likely. This in turn increases the which to base charges that a President should be odds that the full House will vote to impeach removed from office. Minority Counsel Albert President Nixon.

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

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

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

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

To help meet these costs, the Office of Financial Aid has reportedly channeled $8,660,000 to some 6000 students. Although most of the funds are already used up for the 1974—75 academic year, students interested in applying for aid the following year should obtain forms after December and have them filed with the Financial Aid office by March 1, 1975, said Joseph Stillwell, director of the Office of Financial Aid. Located in 312 Stockton Kimball Tower Hall, the Financial Aid Office administers several plans of financial aid, all based on need. Federal assistance Among the Federal programs is the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BOG), which was authorized under the 1972 Higher Education Act. Last year, 298 students from the State University at Buffalo participated in this program, receiving around $88,000, Mr. Stillwell said. “This program represents a new trend by the federal government in that it provides money to the student, not to the University for distribution to its students,” he explained. The government allocated $122 million in BOG’s for the 1973-74 school year. That figure is expected to reach $475 million for the coming year, Mr. Stillwell added. The BOG program will provide non-repayable grants of up to $1050 a year for students enrolled as full time freshman or sophmores. These grants are intended to be the main component of a financial aid package, combining with other forms of aid to cover the cost of education. Students should apply directly to the Federal Government for assistance through this program. The aid application gathers information on family income and assets to determine the student’s eligibility and the amount of the grant. “A family of four, making less that $11,000 would be eligible,” Mr. Stillwell said. Exceptional need The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant provides aid to students with exceptional financial need. The grants range from $200 to $ 1500 per year. The Federal Government also sponsors the College Work Study Program. About 500 students participated last year, working at Jobs on and off campus and earning between $1.75 and $3.00 per hour. The average amount earned per year is about $700. A wide range of both federal and state low interest loans are also available to students. The National Direct Student Loan, sponsored by the Federal Government, can provide a student with up to $5000 for his SUMMER ORIENTATION 1974 undergraduate career. The government allocates money to the university which then lends it to students. Repayment at a 3% interest rate must begin nine months after students complete their education. The principal and interest may be reduced for students who teach handicapped children, pre-school children in Headstart Porgrams or in schools with a large percentage of low income families. Last year, 1450 State University at Buffalo students borrowed over a million dollars under this program. Nursing loans Nursing students may also borrow up to $1500 per year at 3% interest under the Federal Government’s Health Manpower Act. Up to 85% of the loan may be cancelled when, upon graduation, the borrower is employed in a public or non-profit institution, or in an area determined to have a substantial shortage of nurses. New York residents may received assistance through the New York Higher Education Assistance Corporation Loan, whereby a student may borrow up to $7500 for his undergraduate studies directly from a participating commercial bank. Repayment begins nine months after graduation at a 7% interest rate. “Because of its availability,” Mr. Stillwell indicated, “almost 3000 students got these loans which totaled over four million —continued on page 16— Incomingfreshmen preview University Don Eisenmann Staff Writer Spectrum The transformation of 2000 uninformed, unassuming, incoming freshman into the sophisticated, worldly, University students we all know and love will begin Monday with a series of freshman orientation conferences. Each three days long, the sessions are designed to help incoming freshmen adapt to the academic and social life of the university. The entire program will last 5 weeks, with 10 sessions, running Monday-Wednesday and Wednesday—Friday each week. half commuters and half Ten undergraduate student aides residents will guide the students during the orientation. The aides were chosen from over 200 applicants on the basis of interviews, recommendations, their knowledge of the campus, major, and outside activities. - Student redress - Grievances heard in summer Many students are not aware that the undergraduate grievance procedures are still in effect over the summer months. The procedures, originally adopted three years ago by the Graduate Student Association (GSA), can be used by undergraduate, graduate and Millard Fillmore College students who feel they have justifiable grounds for a grievance against any faculty member. Ron Stein, associate director for Student Affairs, termed the program “extremely successful” during its three-year history. In the past, grievances have covered a wide variety of issues, including grading questions, the denial of tuition aid to graduate students, and the dismissal of students from their programs of study. ‘This is not a disciplinary procedure, but rather, it rights the wrong,” Dr. Stein explained. chairman of the appropriate Faculty Divisional Committee. If the chairman finds insufficient grounds for the appeal, he may convene a grievance committee to review the case. This grievance committee includes two faculty members and two undergraduate students, and excludes representatives from the department involved in the grievance. The Divisional Chariman chooses these four representatives from a panel of faculty and students from each of the other departments. The committee must issue its findings and recommendations within ten days of its last meeting. Following the Faculty-level decision, a student has the option of filing an appeal with the Dean of Undergraduate Education. If the Dean finds reason to doubt the effectiveness of the prior review, he may convene a grievance committee consisting of Levels of grievances representatives from all the There are three levels in the Divisional Panels.

Student aides “The student aides will be assisting in every aspect of the orientation. They’ll be aiding with the registration, conducting tours and also be conducting workshops on topics of interest to the students,” explained Division of Undergraduate Education DUE advisor June Blatt, who helped train the aides. “The aides received seven weeks of training in the spring regarding such factual information as academics, registration, housing and' instruction in developing communication skills so they can best answer any question the new students might have,” Ms. Blatt said. The training is continuous. Each Friday, the aides will have an evaulation meeting to discuss ways of improving orientation. Among the scheduled activities are a number of student-run workshops on topics ranging from the Buffalo community and black and white relations, the special problems of the commuting student. A registration workshop will explain the procedures for signing up for the fall curriculum. There will also be an improvisational theater giving the new students an opportunity to perform. Tours will be conducted on both campuses to show the students where they will be living and attending class. Student activities The aides will also outline the various student activities housed in Norton Hall and introduce representatives from the respective organizations. Any University organization can make information about their group available by contacting Carol Hennessy at University the same time protected them,” Dr. Stein explained. Although the State University at Buffalo is one of the few colleges in the country to offer such a service. Dr. Stein feels many students are not familiar with the procedures. Anyone who feels he has a legitimate grievance should contact Dr. Stein or Ronald Doleman in 201 Harriman. Activities. Other activities include a tour of the libraries, health service, a career guidance workshop, folk dancing by the Jewish Student Union, an evening bonfire, a trip to Niagara Falls and a coffeehouse sponsored jointly by the Student Association and the UUAB Coffeehouse Committee. “We’ll help get the student squared away for the fall, to facilitate the move from what he thinks he wants to do, to what the University offers in terms of courses and instruction,” explained Robert Grartham, director of Advisement. “We act as information brokers, passing it on from the various departments to the student and helping him negotiate the system.” This year there was much more coordination between the Educational Opportunity Program (EOF) and the regular program, Ms. Henessy said. The EOP students will participate in the regular orientation but will attend a special half-day conference on the first day of each orientation period. For the first time this year, SA is running a bus service between New York City and the University. Round trip fare is $30. Friday, 19 July 1974 . The Spectrum .

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

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

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

Corporate dictatorship is nothing new to America; with untold of resources at their fingertips, monster corporations like ITT litterally run our government. The Soviet wheat deal, Lockheed loan and the energy crisis all confirmed how government will favor these corporations even if they have to finance them directly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I kept noticing all sorts of things. Like how much "Faier's rag" really sounds like an honest-to-Joplin rag. And "Pizzaraga"'s brilliant exploitation of the resemblance between banjo and sitar, down to Faier's head-drumming, which perfectly simulates the sound of the tabla. What all this demonstrates is Faier's grasp of the several genres he works in on the album. To this, he brings his knowledge of the banjo and its Faier.

The result first person in what seems like eons to come up with fully reveals the sound of the banjo, and its a really new sound on the 5-string banjo.

I have one complaint, though, Scruggs-picking But maybe, if you have a good grounding in albeit a minor one. Some of the pieces are far too traditional banjo technique, and then spent ten years short, especially the delightfully droll "Rhinoceros devoted to the banjo as a legit instrument of musical Waltz," which can't be more than a minute and a expression, you might come up with the result Faier half. It cries out for the space given to "Improvisation in E" and "Longhorn Express," both has. Billy Faier/Banjo is a revelation. As far as I'm long pieces whose length allows them to develop concerned, it is the folk album of the year, though more fully. But most of the album is delightful. That's real it's not really right to pigeonhole it as folk.

Bill Maraschiello — — — Page twelve The Spectrum/Prodigal Sun Friday, 19 July 1974 . . �RECORDS Tangerine Cream, Phaedra (Virgin Records) I'm scratching my chin, curling my toes and contemplating the divine mysteries of the universe. It's hard writing about Tangerine Dream and their first release, Phaedra. This album exists in that middle ground somewhere between popular music and contemporary Electronic composition, The group is composed of three multi-instrumentalists, all of whom play the synthesizer. Their compositions are electronically oriented in a very serious vein. Side one is composed of the title cut, "Phaedra,'' in three consecutive parts. Yours truly hask just started listening when the synthesizer sets up an ostimto (a clearly defined melodic phrase which is persistently repeated, usually in the bass), over which sustained notes and glissandoes scurry in and out of the texture. The ostinato subtly changes complexion and then proceeds to rise step by step to a climax before returning back to its assigned seat. The rhythm throughout is fairly static, while the dynamics remain on a basically uniform level (except, of course, while climaxing). Because they do relatively little in terms of rhythm, harmony and melody, the criteria by which the group should be judged is how well they draw different and interesting sounds from the synthesizer. Do they sustain our interests? I think they do, for the variety of tones they're able to capture is intriguing. At their best, it's . . cosmic! The texture is usually composed of three melodic strands (voices), so there's little problem with boredom, which is a very real problem in much electronic Tnusic (notorious for over-indulgence, I might add). Admittedly, I haven't saturated myself with electronic music, but I can't remember ever coming across such a traditional compositional device as ostinato being used so themselves much more freedom to create a mood. They use their other instruments to enhance the texture. Here the organ chord changes are slow and evocative. Over them are the sounds of chimes, rich in overtones, pleasing to one's senses Side two is basically the same delightful potpourri, and since side one is the more imaginative of the two. I'll let my case rest. Tangerine Dream can't be called avante-garde, for they're just not innovative enough. They certainly don't work in the pop idiom either, but would you believe . .. "Progressive pop?" With the right P.R. man, they could travel far. And should. _ Lupo Lazarus — problem. Start with their first cut, the fire paced "Silver Dollar Forger." Its thundering rhythm, throbbing drums and cymbals are a real mind blower. While you're getting psyched for a super climax, the genre changes and instead simulates eerie resonic sounds from oblivion. Ready to give up? Well don't, cause Nazareth comes up for air with a grandeur finale. Then there's "Shanghai'd In Shanghai" their British single. It's a marching melody where the contrasting vocals make a definite impact along with the cute little metalic insert from the Stone's "Satisfaction." Although it is a catchy tune, I don't think it would hit the charts here. And once again Nazareth has shown that metal groups can also produce highly moving numbers. "Loved And Lost" is their counterpart to Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven." Most soft numbers are similar except for those various techniques which make a few unique. Here the bass adds melancholic depth, a mesmerizing effect, to this soft, medium tempo ballad. And as you hear McCafferty's haunting voice sing . flagrantly (and repeatedly, too). The final part of side one strikes this writer as extremely impressionistic (and I’m impressed, too). The initial sound is that of metal being hit and the resulting reverberation. Now I'm at the shore, the sound of gulls and the lapping of the waves tossing my senses. The sounds are amazingly realistic. An important point is that Tangerine Dream has abandoned the ostinato throughout this part, giving various other scenerios, make this cover quite enticing. huh? Well, they say you can't judge an album by its cover, but this may be an exception. Nazareth, a light metal band from England, is quite prominent across the Atlantic. However, they have yet to make it here in the States. Rampant is their answer to this Spicy Nazareth, Rampant (A&M) Ever have an album staj-e you right in the eye, daring you to play it?

But there's still more. Do you wanna boogie? Try "Glad When Your're Gone" a little roxy lick, or "Jet Lag," where you'll be sure to get on your feet. Nazareth also try their hand at a Vardbird's song, "Shape of Things." This renovation has been attempted by many artists (including Bowie). None of them perform it with as much charisma as the Yardbirds. Basically, this is a strong central album, if you only listen to the first side. Progressing from their former albums, Razamanaz and Loud and Proud, Rampant shows the group has a prominent direction to head in.

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

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

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

Really, what would the summer be without free music to enjoy? What I’m leading up to is the summer series of free folk music that the UUAB Coffeehouse will be bringing you in weeks to come, every Tuesday and Thursday evening on the Norton terrace. The grand opening is Tuesday, July 23, at 8 p.m., when UUAB Bill Steele, author of the ultimate ecology song, “Garbage.’ Fortunately for Bill, we found a “press release” he put together about himself, from which I now quote: “A little over half of what I sing nowadays is songs that I wrote. The best known of these is probably “Garbage,” which Michael Cooney carried around the country a couple of years ago it never made the Top 40, except. I’m told, in Cape Cod.” (Other Steele songs include “The Henry Smith Memorial Granite Block,” “Dr Jekyll’s Cola,” and “The Boy With the Loving Cup Ears.”) “1 sing a lot of other contemporary songs, mostly by other writers from the San Francisco Bay area, where I lived for about ten years. I also sing a few Anglo-American traditional songs I like to keep it simple and understated. . . once a girl came up to me after a concert and said my I think it’s songs made her want to sell her house and take off important to make people laugh and i work hard at it.” Two days later, Thursday, July 25, you can see everyone’s favorites, Billy Hamilton and the Bluegrass Almanac.

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

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

But Alfa-Romeo showed up with two cars for Series, and Andretti-Arturo Merzario and Rolf St ommelen Carlos Reutemann, Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Jean-Pierre Jarier were in the - he’s getting used to and Mosport, the red and white after four years in chisel-nosed Lola failed to hold uncompetitive and unreliable together long enough to win the equipment.

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

The Spectrum Page seventeen . �} ■■ It’s one helluva crazy scene at the local golf course Across the street from the Main Street campus is one of the most demanding golf courses in the country. No major tournament was ever played there and none ever wilj be. Touring pros don’t habituate the course for one good reason: one round a mere eighteen holes, would destroy their upset their timing and inflate their — handicap beyond belief. It’s not the unattended sand traps, the few scattered bunkers, or the long, flat, unattended fairways that make it difficult; it’s the distractions. Playing early in_ the morning or after dinner is synonymous with playing for free. Open access to the tees from either Bailey or Main makes it easy to enter gratis. You pay when you tee up; payment is in the form of a nervous condition that will plague you for weeks. You must either step arrogantly in front of an oncoming foursome or wait patiently until there is a lull and work your way onto the course without delaying anyone. quick file for divorce. There is no way to determine whether it will be the man or woman that leaves; it never has anything to do with the player’s gender. The on with the best score, be it man or woman, will always stay. Finishing off a good round and making a silent statement on the value of married life. Rounding the clubhouse on the 14th and 15th hole you are treated to the sight of a dozen friendly, over-fed hustlers playing cards in the shade. They considerately time their outbursts of laughter to coincide with your first putt, resuming their quiet only after you trudge on to the next tee. There you will notice innumerable balls flying overhead in a ' dtern • iu think alien to the outlr ■ of the specials), a pair of refugee dogs from the Norton Fountain area attack your golf bag. While one wrests your wool driver cover, the other lifts his leg on your four-iron mistaking it for a fire hydrant. That being the final indignity, you pick up the cursing under your breath desecrated bag and trudge to the next tee where you vow to earn a place in the Guiness World Book for the longest divot ever recorded. If you take your game as seriously as most part-timers do, you will have been humiliated. The numerous scapegoats make the experience as easy to swallow as the frosty draught beer waiting in the clubhouse. You learn a little something about the game of golf - - - Duffers That first shot is a hard one; one eye over your shoulder to spot the duffers behind you and the other fixed on the horizon as lookout for the park attendants. If you enter from Main you will probably start on the tenth hole where you must pay under the scrutiny of a half dozen commuters waiting on the comer bus-stop for their connection to Williamsville and points north, they’ve been known to applaud good shots. Likewise, they’ve been known to react to missed strokes with sustained whistling and seemingly uninterrupted glares. If you enter from Bailey, you play for an audience in the Veterans’ Hospital windows with the constant wail of doomed dogs in Capen Hall as background music. Further down the fairway, any shot just slightly off mark to the left will draw response in the form of a barrage of arrows. It seems that either an impromptu archery range was set-up on the course'perimeter, or a golf course was built around an old archery range. No one is quite sure which came first, but both sides defend themselves admirably: the golfers with an occasional slice into the bullseye, and the archers with periodic warning shots onto the 8th tee. Wife-swapping Fore some reason, the players directly ahead of you are always of a mixed gender. If there are four of them, they will inevitably slow you down, arguing with their respective mates. Then somewhere around the twelfth hole, they’ll switch partners and leave, having finalized an athletic wife swap. If there are only two people ahead of you, a man and wife, you’re in luck, since only one of them will ever finish out the 18 holes. One will invariably depart in disgust, accompanied only with promises of a Page eighteen . The Spectrum . Friday, 19 July 1974 course. Its only after you hit a perfect three-iron shot and come up pin-high that you realize the balls are coming from an impromptu driving range and landing all over the green. It doesn’t take long to realize that you’ll never find your own ball so you settle for one of the others, most likely one closest to the hole. Dogs . . .hydrants . .. While you wade through the sea of balls, (titleists, top-flights, ultimas, Wilson staffs, AMFs, and Club and about those who play it so religiously that it becomes a measuring stick for their life. In disgust, you will have earned the right to play at one of the numerous private clubs in the locale where you can pursue your game with a seriousness out of proportion with the game's ultimate importance. The only alternative is to continue paying across the street and seek enjoyment despite the many pitfalls which will always remind you that you can’t leave the world behind by teeing up and keeping track of a handicap. �CLASSIFIED QUIET working female student desires WANTED 1 bedroom apartment within walking distance of U.B.

Not littered. Not strewn. Covered. I see the ghosts of those who must have been standing in the hot sun all day, hour after hour, just trying to get that seat, just a bit closer. Ross is already playing as we walk into the stadium, some kind of typical English heavyshit electric blues, trying to get people clapping with little success (with ~45,000 people, somebody’s bound to get into it). The big screen is flashing the names of Ross’ members, and I see a sea of people on the field, crammed together. It’s 7:00 now, the weather is pleasant, and Ross goes off. People are standing and stretching, breezes are blowing, the inevitable streaker runs across the stage and then has to pick his way through the crowd back to his pants. My friend has met an old friend and his girlfriend, and the four of us are drinking tequila. It’s not unpleasant to sit, watch the sun go down, feel the wind and look at all those other people. So many of them. A small city. Stevie Wonder music is playing and people are getting psyched, dancing around in place, rubbing their sunburns, checking out the action. Waiting for The Band Turns out the girlfriend has a pair of binoculars She is, in a word, breathless. —■-"—“Oh, I can’t wait til Eric comes on,” she says, ■clutching her knees. “And you know what? Somebody told me Crosby Stills Nash and Young might be here. Oh, I'd just die if they were here!” “Well, I hear they’re going to be in Toronto later this month . .” “What if,” her eyes are wide with excitement, “what if George Harrison shows up? Oh, God, I’d faint!” “Well,” I say, “Could I use the binoculars to see 'j , The Band?” “Oh, surfe, I jdon’t care about them, I’d much rather look at, Eric.” After a ran(g delay (setting up of equipment), The Band finally hits the stage. Off to a flying start, they’re jamming, just an instrumental, just great. They have a guest saxophonist who adds to thy excitement. Robertson is cool and collected, in his typically subtle get-up: a smartly tailored black suit with a black and white flowered shirt. All part of the image, baby. Ho hum. I think I’ll throw this little lick right in here BOOM! — Through binoculars It’s a good thing I have these binocs. I can see his fingers move. They’re the only indication of what’s coming out of those twenty megaton amps, other than his body, swaying slightly with the beat. His face looks, well, not bored, but not excited, just another show. That’s the4bing with Robertson. He’s dignified. He doesn’t jump around or make idiotic faces or contort his body he’s not a statue, either, but well, subtle. Like his guitar playing. (His best licks are in between vocal lines.) And his presence on stage adds to the excitement of his leads. Here are these really hot licks coming out of this very physically controlled body. If gives you the feeling of all this energy inside, contained, ready to break out. But the only way it ever does is through his — fingers. And The Band played on . . . Rick Danko is taking a break, running up and down the bass but never losing that incredible sense of pulse so the whole band keeps going all the time.

His right arm is in a cast up —continued on page 7— New York State drug law remains controversial by Sparky A Izam ora Campus Editor Since the adoption of New York State’s new drug law last September 1, state legislators and law authorities have been divided over its effectiveness in deterring the sale and possession of narcotics. Although former Govenor Nelson Rockefeller termed it “the toughest drug law in the country,” it will be a matter of time before the merits or demerits of the law are determined. Under the old drug law a person convicted of a Class A felony (the sale or possession of one or more pounds of herion, cocaine, morphine and opium) felonies, there has been an upswing in the number of 16 to 19 year olds facing mandatory life sentences. One 16 year old from Albany is currently serving a minimum sentence of four years for selling three $ 10 bags of heroin. Although the decline in plea bargaining and the resulting increase in the number of felony drug cases going to trial have quality, not quantity. But although the number of addicts there continues to climb, there has been a noticeable decline in street trafficking and the frequency of arrests has stabilized. Mike Amico, Erie County sheriff, also claims that local pushers “have definitely underground.” But despite a gone “decrease in available narcotics,” he feels Mr. Amico agreed that the number of dealers and drug possessors in Erie County who go to jail is about equal, and attributed the backlog in the courts to the fact that the possibility of life imprisonment has casued defense counsels to take their time. “It isn’t the fault of the DA or police,” he said. First-time offenders who do not go to jail within six months of their arrests automatically have their charges dropped, Sheriff Amico added. Although the new law was supposedly designed to “encourage” addicts to seek help in drug rehabilitation centers, Buffalo a prison term from 15 years to life. According to the new law, however, the Class A felony is divided into three categories: Class A—1, A—2 and A-3, each of Which can result in a maximum, mandatory life sentence. The Class A- 1 provision reduces the amount of dope a minimum of one pound to one ounce or more, while the A—2 and A—3 categories involve even smaller amounts necessary for conviction. could be sentenced to No plea bargaining The new law has severely restricted plea bargaining, which previously permitted a defendant to plead guilty to a lesser charge in return for supplying information on major narcotics distributors. According to Michael J. Brown, a Buffalo attorney, police may even be more “reluctant” to make as many arrests as before because those who previously got off with light penalties in exchange for information can no longer cop a plea. Because the lenient “youthful offender” provision no longer applies to Class A» “the little guys are usually the ones who are caught when they sell a little bag of dope to an undercover cop.” clogged up the already overburdened Governor Malcolm Wilson has decided to appoint only 36 of the 68 Claims Court judges authorized by the drug laws. courts. Quality arrests Originally, many observers expected New York City to be the hardest hit becasue its police department has concentrated for the past three years on limiting narcotics arrests by focusing on hard drugs may be back on the rise again.” Mr. Amico feels the present conviction rate of “95% or better,” or at least once a day underscores the effectiveness of the new law. Critics have charged, however, that the new law has virtually eliminated the distinction between a drug pusher and a drug possessor. “We should seek to make greater lines of demarcation between the sellers and those who possess,” Mr. Brown stressed. “Amico calls them pushers no matter what,” he emphasized, adding that State Senator James Griffin feels that narcotic centers “are the easy way out.” “It’s just a waste of the taxpayer’s money,” while jail serves as an effective deterrent for both pusher and addict, he argued. Strongly disagreeing, a spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union described the law as “one of the most ignorant, irresponsible and inhumane acts in the history of New York State.” How can the state “expect every addict to seek rehabilitation,” he voluntarily queried. “The addict is not capable of dealing with reality, let alone his own reality. At least if he were given a chance before having a mandatory life sentence laid on him, he would be able to come to some important conclusions about his life.” Buffalo State Senator James McFarland feels the new law may have gone too far, although it still is “too early” to be certain. According to Mr. Brown, the new laws are “unenlightened, barbaric and just don’t make it.” �quarterly allocation is spent in six weeks, and in the remaining six weeks, all but dire emergency requests are denied,” says Talamini. Senator Abourezk’S staff reports “a backlog of people needing corrective surgery is now 20,000, including 13,000 Lack of doctors and money causes severe health problems for Indians - children.” Tliere are more than two hundred cases where surgery has been advised at the Rosebud Hospital, but put off because of lack of money and space. Only seventeen beds are available in the hospital, and it is at 100% capacity virtually all the time. Each doctor sees as many as 50 out-patients a day and the clinic is always crowded. Yet forty miles away there is an empty clinic, closed for lack of staff and The Rosebud Sioux reservation in southwestern South Dakota has the highest tuberculosis rate in the entire United States. Hepatitis is eight times the national average. One-third of all children on the reservation have developed hearing problems due to untreated ear infections. One-third of those older than twenty suffer from diabetes or gallstones. Alcoholism affects 22% of the people and their suicide rate is three times the national average. And the quality of health on the Rosebud reservation is the rule, not the exception, for Indian reservations across the country. “Our Indian people did not have these sichnesses until non-Indians came,” said one Rosebud Sioux. “1 think we Indian people have paid for this in the past and I think we’re paying dearly for it today.” The inhuman neglect of health conditions among Native American peoples is acute, and the federal government is at the bottom of the problem. The Nixon Administration, in fact, has impounded funds for Indian health care four out of the past five years. money. “By impounding these funds, a lot of our people are not able to get the kind of surgery or even treatment in diagnosis,” said one man, “and so they have to just go without. And many people I know have died because of this lack of attention on the part of the government, tying money up.” » 7. Saturday II patient care million more is needed, with suspected. Long overdue anyone in this country should have to live this way when we can send billions of dollars in foreign aid to other countries and yet forget our own Indian people here in the United States.” Unemployment runs as high as 70% in most towns on the Rosebud reservation, and in one town of more than 700 people, only twenty are working. of the nation “In the Aberdeen 1J5 D ] area alone Senator Abourezk’s staff reports, “60% of the buildings being used by 1HS have been declared unfit for use by state inspectors. For example, the Rosebud Hospital was constructed in 1914, and has been condemned even by 1HS, but for lack of funds they will have to make do.” In Claremore, Oklahoma, there is an Indian Health Service hospital. But it has just 35 beds to serve some 33,000 northeastern Oklahoma Indians. Thus the - • Many of the people live in old shacks or log cabins. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Newholy live 50 miles from Rosebud. There is no heat, electricity or running water in their house and they keep warm by burning firewood in an old makeshift stove. Mrs. Newholy is 65 years old and has suffered from gallstones for twenty years. Doctors Corrective surgery say this is the result of a lifetime of poor nutrition. She takes medicine and endures her pain.

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

In addition. Dr. Everett Rhoades, vice-chairman of the Kiowa Tribal Council and one of the only 38 Indian physicians in the United States, told the subcommittee on Indian Affairs that the isolation, coupled with the lack of opportunity for “professional growth” and a lack of good housing, recreation and schools, adds to recruitment difficulties. Doctors, it seems, do not like to live like Indians. Living conditions on the reservation are miserable and inextricably tied to poor Indian health. “It’s really unbelievable when you go into some of our Indian homes and acutally see how our Indian people have to live,” said one Rosebud Sioux. “I think it is a crime.

Because of impoundment and legal and bureaucratic red tape, the special food program was not started until three months before it was to end. Finally, after Senate hearings, it was suspended for a year. All of these decisions were made in Washington. “We work for the people,” said one woman on the reservation “We work with the people. We know the needs of the people. We’re aware of all the problems. They should get with us and you know, ask us the way it is.” Some Indian groups are attempting to recruit more people into health services to supply personnel needs. The Navajo Health Authority, for instance, has been - established to create a medical school on the reservation. Other recruitment programs are being handled by the Association of American Indian Physicians in Oklahoma City, and the American Indian Mental Health New Careers Project in Minneapolis. “How long are we going to sit in the waiting rooms, watching white doctors and waiting for services,” asks Annie Wauneka, Navajo tribal council member. “1 think we need to train ourselves now.

Everyone asks him what speakers he has lined up for the coming year and makes suggestions, usually out-of-the-question, for other speakers. This time, though, Stan Morrow had a great answer and he knew it. “Who’s the most controversial speaker you can think of?” he satisfaction Stan, you’ve got “Whew asked.

He knew what happened at Staten Island Community College, at Yale, at Columbia, what almost happened at New York University (NYU), and he was not going to let it happen here. and then turned his attention to a decade’s study of genetics. As a result of his research, Dr. claims to have Shockley established that blacks are genetically inferior in intelligence to whites.

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

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

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

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

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

Wouldn’t Spiro “Nitrogen fertilizers are the thing we need most Agnew have loved that trick or the whole Watergate in the USA,” said old farmer Garst, reminding crew for that matter! We deplore the Communist Dobrynin of the things he showed farmer Khruschev emigraton policy. Senator Jackson’s amendment in Coon Rapids in the 50’s fattening cattle, for would de-bar Moscow from getting example, with ground corn cobs and molasses, and non-discriminatory tariff treatment unless it permits the techniques of fertilizer, insecticides, herbicides, unrestricted Jewish emigration. We fear the move is and the amazing American farm machinery. . self-defeating. Senator Fulbright’s Foreign Relations To farmer Garst things are simple and direct; Committee will thrash it out this month. “Stabilizing forget submarines and think of herbicides, push aside the peace is our own overriding interest”, Fulbright metaphysical MIRVs and contemplate, the warns bluntly “and it is too important to be megatonnage of soybeans! That’s the way you compromised by meddling even humanitarian develop hybrid corn, and world peace. At least, meddling in internal Soviet affairs.” that’s today’s message from Coon Rapids, Iowa. We missed detente in 1955, and again in 1968 How nice it sounds. Alas, Nixon-Kissinger return Certainly we must not pay too high a price for it to a poisoned world. We are up for a third test of But it’s still the best hope in sight. controversial atmosphere made a number of faculty members reluctant to publicly rebuke Shockley's theories in a panel discussion, and forced SA Speaker's Bureau chairman Stan Morrow to cancel the program. Additionally, some faculty were reportedly reluctant to particpate in a debate in the presence of hundreds of excited students who were incapable of following what they considered to be highly technical discussions. It is unfortunate that student paranoia, coupled with a fear of controversy on the part of faculty, will probably prevent Dr. Shockley from ever speaking at this University. We vehemently oppose the Shockley theory that blacks score lower than whites on IQ tests because they are genetically inferior, and his warped, Nazi-mentality plan to sterilize persons of lower intelligence with the aid of cash incentives. But for precisely these reasons, continued efforts should be made to bring Dr. Shockley to Buffalo so he can be heard and rebuked by scholarly opponents. The attempts to silence Dr. Shockley at Staten Island Community College and other institutions have exposed the hypocrisy of those who claim they oppose the "fascist tactics" of the Nixon administration. Too often, the very same individuals who preach freedom of speech and cry out against censorship are themselves guilty of censorship. They argue that the government exploits people's emotions through fear, but demonstrate the epitome of a double standard when theyshout down Shockley for "feeding" the public "bad ideas."

Richard Manuel is pounding the keys. Garth Hudson is erratically running up and down the organ keyboard, and Levon Helm is keeping the skins in a perpetual state of vibration.

Freddie is hot as hell, and Eric, well, he is very, very good, but not incredible. Which he can be. However, the next song they do is "Have You Ever Loved A Woman," and here, Eric hits his high for the night. (Maybe Freddie inspired him.) Besides trading off some excellent riffs, his vocal is really really true bluesy. Freddie leaves and the regular band takes over. there — — Problems But we are by no means in Heaven. First of all, the mammoth sound system is not properly mixed. The piano is just faintly audible, the bass is not bassy enough, and whenever Hudson or Robertson takes a solo in the upper registers, the combination of the too loud and too shrill speakers makes me fold my ears in to avoid the pain. And c'mon, boys, it's been too long since you did an album (I don't really count Moondog Matinee). I still have faith, but I mean, people are beginning to talk. So The Band continues, through a greatest and not-so-greatest hits repertoire, not even changing off on instruments (I think they knew what kind of simpletons were mixing). Garth does "The Genetic Method," weaving his organic tapestry. We all know this song inevitably leads into "Chest Fever," which it does, and everyone comes back on stage. The song's gone through a couple of bars when a guy in a brown and beige cowboy shirt comes on and stands, slouching, on the side of the stage. He's got a little Fender amp (maybe a Princeton) in his hand, a natural finish Strat around his neck, and a butt dangling from his lip. I zoom in. Uh huh. — Jive," all of which they do. Because her voice maintains such a solid vocal line, his voice, which is very hoarse, adds another dimension instead of just sounding weak. Eric has always been known to give everyone else a generous chance at leads and breaks, and his condition ("I'm lousy when I'm drunk," he says at one point), it is not surprising that he lets guitarist George Terry take a lot of the licks, Terry is obviously greatly influenced by Clapton, but he nevertheless pulls off some really fine ones, and I'm sure he'll show up on his own considering soon. Let's try and forget who we're dealing with Band, considered as a whole, is extremely good. Carl Radle is the best free-lance bass in the business, and Dick Sims on keyboards and Jaime Oldaker on drums are both very together musicians. Tight and punching, competent, dynamic, versatile. Seems to me that's what Clapton's after these days. Not just Eric the star, but a complete O.K. for a minute. The sound. Who? The girlfriend is beginning to froth at the mouth "Oh, I can't wait till Clapton comes on Ohhh . Give a kid a break Yvonne Elliman is a great help. She has just the right voice for Clapton's music. Deep, full, throaty, raunchy. Perfect for songs like "Tell the Truth, Little Wing, Blues Power" and "Willie And The Hand . I'm not gonna tell her that he just has. He plugs in and starts playing, although no one hears him (the idiot sound men haven't hooked him in yet). . .but just before she leaves . . ." (a new voice singing harmony with Rick and Manuel) "...she receives . . ." Ah, he's on the air now, you can spot that tone a mile away; he's taking the break. For the first time, The Band is smiling. Robbie has a wide grin on. By the end of the song, Rick and Robbie and Eric are in a circle, playing with and to themselves, hugging each other as it ends. Most of the crowd knows by now and The Band goes off to riotous applause: from my seat it looks like waves rolling across the sea of people. " . Stage fright? And consider this. The knowledge that every time you appear (which hasn't been for three years), people are expecting the best, the absolute best guitar playing in the world. Who wouldn't have to be smashed to face 45,000 of those people? Clapton's stage presence throws me totally off just standing guard. He's known for his reticence and playing. But tonight he is incredibly extroverted. Cracking jokes, flirting with Yvonne, laying down for a while (while he's playing), chastising the people who are setting off firecrackers he really is putting on a show. — — Sunheroes and rock stars Another 45 minute wait, I'm reading a book to pass the time. Briefly, it describes Earth after the Desolation, returned to a primitive culture based on fertility rites. Every year a "Sunhero" is appointed. With the help of grafted on antlers which pump tons of hormones into his body, he goes from town to town, servicing the hundred or so most beautiful virgins in each one. He gets a bandstand welcome everywhere he goes, and all the girls stand around, looking at him, panting, drooling, and so on. So I'm reading this book, looking at the crowd, looking at the girlfriend. At the book. At the girlfriend. Whoever wrote this book must be a veteran of large rock concerts: I don't see much difference. Because Eric is finally announced (by this Tiny Tim type), and she goes into ecstasy. Mind you, she didn't even recognize him before. Pavlov would be proud. Anyway, she is an accurate meter for a great deal of the rest of the crowd, which is screaming, yelling, jumping up and down and fainting (shades of Elvis!) Slow start “Ellooooo" (he drawls). "Thaaaank Vooooou." Very much to his credit, Eric starts slow with some '30's tune like "Till There Was You" doing a — very mellow rendition. Then another mellow tune, this one from his new album called "Let It Grow.” He's playing an acoustic (a Martin 00 28, for those who care), and so is Yvonne Elliman, an excellent female vocalist (pfaying a Martin D35, for those who don't). "Let It Grow" is a very pretty tune, good three part harmonies. As he steps up to the mike, the obvious becomes manifest. "I'm drunk and ready for trouble." Adopting a stance which he will return to many times, that of leaning his left arm over the horizontal part of the mike stand, (resting on it), looking all in all as if he was leaning over the back of a chair, he announces the presence of a guest star. HotLicks "We have a guest tonight. He's a musician. He's lover. He’s a guitar player. He’s big. As big as they come. And if you don't know his name, you don't deserve him. He name is Freddie. Know him?" Freddie King comes bouncing onto the stage, fat and solid looking. They go into a medium tempo blues, trading licks. I must say, it certainly is not Photos by Allen The one thing that turns me off is that Tiny Tim creep. After "In The Presence Of The Lord," the band goes into a rock and roll medley (cutting off Yvonne who is just beginning a vocal solo, by the way. I don't know whether that was a planned joke or not.). This guy comes on, starts dancing around with the guitar, and goes into a Townsend number. You know, smashing the guitar and flinging it into the audience. I know it's a goof, but what's the point? One more time That's the end of the set, and here comes the encore. Eric kind of knows he's gotta give 'em one more piece of himself, something to send them home with. He steps up to the mike, leans on it, and says almost sheepishly. "Now I'm drunk and I've been chewing this guitar for three days, so what you get is liable to be a (fuzzy)? bit . . It's "Crossroads." About half tempo from the Cream version. And he's right. It is a bit. . anybody else, you'd say, "wow, that guy is really fantastic!" But it's Calpton up there, so you have to say, "Well, I've heard him play much better." . How can anyone escape from that? �'Parallax View' Conspiracy Assassination The investigative efforts lead to "Parallax Corporation" by Tom Lansing Staff a certain Spectrum Arts whose business Parallax View is a powerful piece of film. Produced and directed by Alan Paluka, it is billed as a suspense thriller. It goes far beyond that; it joggles the American conscience and imparts a sense of uneasiness. Dealing with such topics as The investigative reporting and assassination, the film is not simply timely re: Watergate and the battle over freedom of the press. It also has a certain timeless quality. The political assassination portrayed in the opening sequence is the "renting out" of assassination services to mysterious "clients." Even more shocking is just how above ground this corporation is. It is not a fragmented underground mob. Its regional offices can be clearly found in a building's office among thousands of other run-of-the-mill businesses. So now we have the situation where an obvious conspiracy is involved. If you think this is directory brings back disturbing memories of the Kennedys and Martin Luther King Jr.; the victory turning to tragedy and the turning to screams are all The events are fixed firmly minds no matter how — cheers there. in our much time passes, they remain an obscene memory. What proves to be most disturbing is the next scene in which a solemn committee is its findings about to read concerning the assassination. The erroneous conclusion is that there was only one person in the assassination (who consequently was killed in the case which followed), and that he was definitely not part of a conspiracy. We know this is wrong, since we saw two people put their guns away right after the shooting. The conclusion of the committee rings a bell; one no conspiracy. The assassin Warren Report. Journalist The similarity does not stop here, either. Three years later, an inverstigative reporter (Warren Beatty) launches an effort to uncover the real story after he discovers that seven known witnesses to the shooting have died mysteriously; the last being a friend (Paula Prentiss) who came to him for help with the knowledge that her life was in danger. Sounds like the series of deaths which occurred involving witnesses to the JFK assassination, doesn't it? r what films billed as thrillers are all about? Warren Beatty suspense is cast meticulously well as the blue-jeaned, independent, investigative reporter, Joe Raley. Beatty's mannerisms and appearance radiate the quality of toughness and relentlessness inherent in Joe's character. It is extra-important that he does as well as he does since the film is not as much of a team effort as the placard listing several co-stars would have one believe. Paula Prentiss barely allows us to have a glimpse at her before she is lying in the morgue, and Hume Croyn, as the ever toiling newspaper editor, is used sparingly to confirm his reporter's determination in the face of opposiiton. Thus, it is really Warren Beatty's film, and it is he who almost single handedly carries the show. And, Finally One more comment. There has much talk in different corners concerning The Parallax View being no more that a been "paranoia thriller." Though this is some doubt left that what should happen actually may not. By leaving the door open for the a certain extent (for after all, who can feel completely at ease with the idea that assassinations are the result of a world wide conspiracy), it does not seem likely that this was the screenplay writers' (David Giler and Lorenzo Semple Jr.) primary purpose. The structure of the story circles around the initial commission report. Although the action may sometimes wander, it continually comes back to discredit the commission. Thus, the commission and not paranoia-assassination should be looked upon as the topic of the film. For that matter, it comes out as nothing less than a direct indictment of the Warren Commission and the public complacency which accompanied it. Instead of being labelled as a work in paranoia, it would be (which sometimes sensational unfortunately approaches the far-fetched), Paluka has injected a successful degree of uncertainty in the film, and after all, isn't that more appropriate to call The Parallax View a vehicle of earnest frustration. Now showing at the Holiday 5 Theatre and the Seneca Mall. true to beginning to sound like that farce of a few months ago, Executive Action, you are right. However, while the premises of the two alike, films sound rather Executive Action tried unsuccessfully to depict itself as a factual story, while The Parallx View does not try to make any such fantastic claims. Its conspiracy comes across as pure fiction Suspense Producer director Paluka has kept away from turning the action into a tiresome parade of predictable events.

One is the widely publicized series of concerts, dance events, and plays that will be presented there this summer. The Artpark will also be operating on artists-in-residence program, featuring “artists of national importance whose is focused less on product than on process, and invites work the participation of Artpark visitors.” More on this in a minute. The "gala international premiere" of the Artpark will be Thursday, July 25 at 8:30 p.m. Appearing will be Ethel Merman, Cicely Tyson, Edward Villela and Allegra Kent, Maureen Forester, pianist Malcolm Frager, and the Buffalo Philharmonic conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas. These people will be presenting what the Artpark calls “a salute to the arts in New York State and the historical significance of the Niagara Frontier." The concerts begin on July 26, with Miles Davis performing at 7:30 p.m. and Gordon Lightfoot at 10:30 p.m. Other contemporary performers include Blue Oyster Cult (Aug. 1); Richie Havens and the Daryl Hall and John Oates Band (Aug. 4); Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen with David Bromberg (Aug. 7); and Don McLean and Roger McGuinn on August 8. ... Philharmonic Most of the other musical events at Artpark will be handled by the Buffalo Philharmonic. James Conlon conducts the orchestra on July 27. On August 3, Bobby Short joins them in an evening of Cole Porter, and Van Cliburn performs Tchaikovsky with the orchestra on August 6. Unless otherwise noted, all of the above concerts are at 8:30p.m. The Artpark's artists-in-residence encompass many areas of creativity. Many of them are architectural and sculptural artists who will be creating environmental works, either outdoors or on a large elevated boardwalk called the ArtEI. Poets Emil Antonucci, Robert Lax, and Anne Waldman will form a "little press-in-residence." Instruction in Drench gourmet cooking will be provided by Colette Rosant, and Hanne Tierney will be conducting puppet shows and children's classes in puppetry. Many of the artists-in-residence will be participating in the "Artpark Anthology," an event of dance, drama, films, and music from 5:20 a.m. July 28 till 5:23 a.m. July 29. A complete schedule of Artpark events, with ticket prices and directions to Lewiston, can be seen at the bulletin board on the first floor of Norton Union across from the candy counter.

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

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

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

With all this to handle, it's not too hard to forgive a little — Los Angeles and brought back postcards to his nightmare world. Every frame of the I wish you could see color "stills" movie from the film has those harsh vivid colors of a postcard, or murky shadows of a bad dream. Slowly, using this unreal photography as a wedge we are pulled farther into Polanski's mad Chinatown. — overacting. But, to be fair, when her overly throaty lines are coupled with Jerry Goldsmith's — — — Star sleuth As sleuth J.J. Gittes, Jack Nicholson hopes to pull us further into the nightmare. Nicholson has a way of sizing up a role that is . . . well, refreshing. He seems to look at his past, his ambitions, his the character regrets and from the "givens" of the script, fashions the most surprisingly outlandish character that is consistent with the story. What emerges seems at first to be something of a cartoon character. If the roles Nicholson played were secondary characters there would be nothing special about this method of characterization. The script wouldn't tell us much about the character, so, unless we had great imagination, the character would remain to us cartoonish. And that would be fine since we usually don't demand much realism or depth from a minor character. But Nicholson's roles of late tend to be starring roles, so when we see what initially looks like a shallow cartoon character in the lead, we are simultaneously amused at — — — — — Analysis Let's look more closely at how he does it. His first step is to find a link between our world and his. Seamy and distasteful, the tawdry beat of the gumshoe who is hired by jealous wives to spy on their unfaithful husbands this land is one such link. It is one of the dirtiest corners of our world and one of the cleanest in Polanski's. — sometimes obtrusive part of background music, it is the worst — his antics and disappointed with his apparent shallowness. Then, as the plot unfolds, we learn more about the character's past and see that he really has depth and that the cartoonishness is actually part of a good and full blown characterization. Nicholson is wonderful at providing these surprises. More than this as in most fine performances, there remain to the end facets of the character he plays that are not quite explained. In Chinatown, the result is a mixture of the normal and the bizaree. Nicholson and — the otherwise terrific Chinatown. Even with a film that allows for a degree of stylization and irony, a line must be drawn somewhere. Still, Dunaway manages to look intriguingly oriental despite the fact that she is and plays a Caucasian. In fact, all the actors in Chinatown , Caucasian and oriental alike, fulfill the film's theme in taking on an oddly oriental appearance. Chinatown concept When Joseph Heller expounded the scriptwriter "Catch-22,” he may have crystalized in a phrase a concept central to our culture. It is the concept that the normalcy as a contrast. powers-that-be arrange the system through guile so that even if it's clear that something is unfair, the rules are just too tricky to allow things to be set straight. Robert Towne subtly emphasize one or the other to pull us into Polanski's nightmare, or to provide some Screenplay Towne's unsettling. script is witty, ingenious, and At one point, Nicholson, at Gittes, is caught by gangsters while he is snooping around where he shouldn't be. Instead of a typical Polanski bloodbath, a short hood sticks a knife inside Gittes' nose quickly cuts outward. You can actually feel the cold steel blade as it tickles the small hairs of Gittes' nose, and you keep feeling it as it rips through the flesh. There can be no strong empathy with a decapitation victim, but there certainly is and notion of Robert Towne’s notion of "Chinatown" a close relative of that concept. "Chinatown" is that realm where the structure is so horrible and illogical, so incorrigable that you just have to accept the frustration that will come in trying to fight it. Chinatown is what an amputee must feel when he sees people dancing. Chinatown is how millions of Jews died in gas chambers. Chinatown is why there'll never be justice with Watergate. There are simply certain aspects of life that nothing can be done about. The trick is to recognize a Chinatown as such. I haven't mentioned the rich portrayal of Mrs. Mulray's father by John Huston; actually there's a lot I haven't talked about. But then, I expect this already too is long. The film ends in Chinatown, where Polanski has been all along. The detective story is worked out but in contrast to in spite of the most such stories resolution, there can be no justice, "Jake" Gittes must be content to do "as little as — — possible." "Forget it, Jake," says a friend, "it's Chinatown." Plug Chinatown is showing exclusively in this area at the Holiday Theater complex. Daisy Miller, Peter Bogdanovich's new film based on Henry James' short story and starring Cybill Shepard and doris Leach man is also playing at the Holiday as well as at the Boulevard Cinema. Due to space consideration. I'm waiting until next week to talk about it. Rage ten . The Spectrum/Prodigal Sun Friday, 12 July 1974 . �Outside Lpojdng In by Clem Colucci Editor’s Note: This column is the first in a series of occasional adventures of that ace private detective, Marlowe Spade. There are two doors at the end of the corridor with Marlowe Spade Private Investigator peeling gilt lettering. One of them I keep open during business hours. The other is always locked. Almost always. As 1 walked down the shabby third-floor hallway to my office, I was in no mood to see what 1 saw. The second door, the one I always keep locked, was open ever so slightly. I shook my head hard. It hurt, but it helped clear the fuzz that had accumulated in my brain after a rough night wrestling with a bottle of bourbon and losing. No good. It was still open. 1 pushed my battered felt hat back on my head, a .357 Magnum that would blast a pulled my gun half-inch hole in a rhinocerous at 50 yards and crept up beside the door. 1 crouched low and threw myself at the door, throwing it open and landing on one knee with my gun aimed at the back of the' swivel chair behind my desk. Slowly, the chair turned and I faced a tall, elegant mulatto woman in a simple, low-cut green dress and a tan shoulder bag that looked like it belonged to the kid who delivers the Sunday Times. “Good morning, Mr. Spade. My name is Sally - — - - Hemmings.” She said it as if it should mean something, and 1 played along because the name was familiar, I stood up and bolstered my gun. This is probably a stupid question Miss said goodbye and walked out the door. I watched her slink down the hall until she turned the corner. It looked to me as if she covered more ground moving sideways than she did moving forward. I opened the envelope. I was supposed to meet a man named Jefferson at Herby’s, a dismal little bistro I used to frequent, at 10:30 that night. Jefferson. Something clicked. Sally Hemmings? Jefferson? It couldn’t be. No, it was just a coincidence. Still, I had a whole day to kill so I went downtown to the library and photocopied a facsimile of the Declaration of Independence. I took it and the letter to Hymie Zimmer, a fat, bald, chain-smoking little man who does all my handwriting and document work. “It checks,” he said. “Are you sure?” I asked. You could have knocked me over with a copy of Bobby Breen’s latest hit album. “Positive,” he said, “Put it on your bill?” Hemmings,” I said, “but what are you doing here?” “Do you have a light?” she asked, ignoring my question and pulling a pack of Luckies from her bag. I some paper boy was crying was still convinced somewhere. “Sure.” I took a lighter from my coat picket and reached over to light her cigarette. “Now how did you get in here? I demanded 1 was still bent over her as she took a deep drag on her cigarette and said: “1 have my ways.” From where I sat she certainly did a great set of ways. Murray the super was a pushover for ways like hers, and he could easily have been persuaded to let her in. She blew some smoke in my face and brought me back to business. “Sorry,” 1 said. “That’s all right,” she answered, "I don’t do things unintentionally. But let’s get to the point.” I’d almost forgotten there was one. “You’re a private detective?” she asked. 1 cracked. We “That’s what it says on the door private eyes are supposed to do that says so on the - “Yeah,” I said and walked out. I didn’t think 10:30 would ever come but it did and I got off the bus in front of Derby’s. Derby’s is a sleazy little place where I hung out through my misguided youth. Derby was in the kitchen, which was fine with me - I could never stand him. Nicky, the addict sax player, waved. I went to the rear table, as told, and saw my client through the smoke and dust. He was tall, about 6’ 1 ”, sandy haired, thin but broad shouldered and nervous looking. He wore a rumpled coat and slippers and you’d swear he had a headache. He saw me, stood up and held out his hand. license ‘Cute,” she replied icily. “Are you any good? The best,” 1 answered. That’s on the license too “Well, the party I represent can’t afford to be choosey. You’ll do if the price is right. What are your rates? I was about to tell her the truth, but thought better of it. My price is $40 a day and ex’s, but nobody’d been paying it lately and I didn’t want to risk losing some business. I was ready to come down when Miss Hemmings spoke. “Will two hundred a day and expenses do?” It did. She gave me an envelope with instructions Hello,” he said, “my name is Thomas Jefferson to he continued The Pete Hamill Column by Pete Hamill into the system from the beginning, on the The New York Post Corp. theory that if you robbed land you would have to rob men and women to work the land. In New York, the soldiers of the revolution came home from the fighting to discover that they could not even vote unless they owned property; it took Aaron Burr and the foundation of Tammany Hall to temporarily thwart the Men of Property. Alexander Hamilton was the spokesman of the Property class. But Burr got control of a bank, and allowed loans to groups of returning soldiers which would allow several families to own a single house; only then could the survivors have that free vote for which so many had bled and died. One of the better days in American History was when Burr blew Hamilton out of the earth; he did not, however, kill Hamilton's hard-line belief in business and oligarchy. The revolutionaries fought in a fury, coming down off Monument Hill in what is now Prospect Park, battling down Third St., standing for a few bloddy hours at Fifth Av., and still the British kept coining, the red coats like flags of triumph. Washington ordered a retreat and they fell back, some of them beaten, other skittery with panic, until they reached Brooklyn Heights, and the long boats that would take them to safety, to fight again on the other afternoons. The American Revolution was fought here. It was betrayed here too. And looking back now through history, with Richard Nixon the inheritor those years, it becomes more clear than ever that the American dream was in trouble from the beginning. The Revolution was fought by the men Wolfe Tone called The Men of No Property; Jefferson, Hancock, Madison and the rich merchants and farmers did not fight in Prospect Park or Valley Forge. That fighting was done by foot soldiers. Instead, the patricians waited, and when the Revolution was won, when the nation had achieved independence, they moved in like sharks. They were the men of property, and they intended to own America. They did a good job. They built slavery � � * All of it has followed from there. The Civil War resolved very little in the end, because it created the great fortunes of the Robber Barons, complete with a mythology to sanitize their crimes; Horatio Alger was their press agent, telling tales of great gains made through hard work and “pluck”. They talked a lot about “free enterprise,” which usually meant that a factory owner was entitled to a worker’s enterprise fee. They created a bogey out of socialism, in the one country where a democratic form of socialism might have worked In the modern era, nothing much changed Franklin Roosevelt was probably a great man. if you place hime beside a Nixon, but essentially he worked through the '30s to make America safe for corporations. The whole welfare apparatus of the New Deal served to head off a revolution and protect the property of the rich. The whole growing apparatus of the 20th century media, radio and films and later TV. was owned by the people of the Property class; they made of it a form of bread and circuses, which is why we have had a least four movies about John Dillinger and not a single movie about Eugene V. Debs, nine films about AI Capone and not a decent one about Thomas Paine, or Sacco and Vanzetti, or Carlo Tresca. The Corporation does not encourage doubt. Those corporations control this country more now than they ever have, as the Fuel Crisis showed, as the obscene profits how, as items like the Wheat Deal or the Lockheed Loan show. In some ways it is now worse, because the federal government shares in the financing of corporations like Lockheed, but the company will earn private profit. Our taxes make the rich richer. That is why it would be wrong to think of Nixon as an aberration. He put the government up for sale all right, and served the interests of the people of property, but that is a tradition that goes all the way back to the founding of the Republic. Harding, Hayes, Collidge, Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson all believed in the same basic notions. In 1972, even George McGovern felt constrained to lake out a $21,000 ad in the Wall St. Journal to tell the people of property that his new tax program was not* any different, really, from the programs of Eisenhower. The news that Hubert Humphrey and Wilbur Mills took corporate donations in 1972 is not surprising; they are simply the left wing of what Ovid Demaris calls the Property Party, as the Republicans are the right wing. � � � So there will be a lot of jingo rhetoric tomorrow at picnics from coast to coast, and maybe even a prayer breakfast at the White House where they can pray for the souls of the faithful departed. But the message should be: forget the past. The past we were taught in school is a lie. The only hope is to look to the future, hoping even against better judgement that the coming days will bring justice. Maybe then we can have the kind of country all the foot soldiers battled for across Prospect Park, on the revolutionary killing ground, so long ago.

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

Community issues The restaurant location required two years of renovation and restoration to satisfy the various fire, plumbing, electricity and health codes.

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

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

Although computerization has equipped entire populations with every advantage a complex technology can offer, it has allowed governments to systematically tamper with the privacy of individual citizens. It has always been an accepted Center. ‘The completeness of tenet of the computer age that the medical records,” he added, is Federal Government maintains if patients move around a files on every suspected critical great deal or are being treated for “subversive element” in the a variety of ailments by several country, but the extent of this physicians. “The center retrieves activity was virtually unknown family records for the physician until recently. As more and more which . . . give a background on facts came to light during the certain hereditary conditions and Watergate investigations, it [are] helpful in diagnosis.” became apparent that the Despite these obvious individual liberties of scores of advantages, more and more people American citizens had been trod have become reluctant to have upon to an extent previously personal information unimagined, and that complex computerized, because computer technology could harm as easily as operators, supervisors and other it could help. unscreened personnel have at their fingertips all sorts of potentially Care vs. privacy information.

Data centers have given physicians access to patients' complete medical records and doctors view them as an essential tool for providing premium medical care. By having access to patients’ complete medical records, the physician can treat patients “totally rather than piecemeal,” said Dr. Elemer R. Gabrieli, director of the Erie County Clinical Information out - Protect the individual Approximately 90 percent of all psychiatric records and 40 percent of all medical or surgical records deal with “extra sensitive” information, according to Dr. Gabrieli. “If a patient thought his psychological hangups, recorded on his records, could find their way into the hands of someone other than his physician, he would refuse treatment,” he maintained. Fearful that patients who underwent abortions, treatment for venereal disease and other medical conditions frowned upon by society would be afraid that this information would fall into the hands of future employers, credit bureaus and other groups. Dr. Gabrieli underscored the distinction between medical and other types of computerized records. Unlike school and criminal records which are “created to protect society,” medical records were “created to protect the individual,” he said. To safeguard the rights of the individual without sacrificing the quality of medical care, several Buffalo groups have been leading the fight to establish Federal statutes for preventing unauthorized retrieval of computerized medical records. At the Sixth Buffalo Conference on Computers in Clinical Medicine held June 17—19 in Niagara Falls, a county group representing medicine, law, philosophy, religion, computer science and health planning discussed ways of achieving this goal Conference sponsors included Dr. Gabrieli, representing the Clinical Information Center, the departments of Continuing Medical Education, Obstetrics and Gynecology at the State University at Buffalo, and a Joint Task Group on Ethical Health Data Centers representing the Erie County Medical Society. Nearly a dozen of the University’s law students have been actively researching the legal - . —continued on page 10— Court grabs devils tail, halts return of ‘Miss Jones’ The campus premiere of The Devil in Miss Jones, originally scheduled for the weekend of July 5-7, has been postjxmechTndefinitely due to a preliminary injunction pnmibiting a screening of the allegedly obscene film at the nearby Granada Theater. The Devil in Miss Jones, along with another blue class. Deep Throat, was confiscated by the Buffalo Solaticious Literature Squad after the Granada Theater attempted to show the film. Campus Security was then notified that similar action would be brought against the University if the film was shown. Although the Erie County Courts have rulled The Devil in Miss Jones obscene, the Granada Theater decided to appeal the decision. The matter is presently being litigated, but a decision is not expected for at least two or three months. ‘A sticky mess’ Jim Gruber, director of Norton Union, was reluctant “to take the chance of getting away with [showing the film]. I am concerned with the film’s legality and the image the University presents,” said Dr. Gruber. Terming the situation a “sticky mess,” Dr. Gruber said he could not “make decisions that are against my better judgement.” If the University Union Activities Board (UUAB) were to go ahead with its plans to show the film, both President Robert Ketter and Dr. Gruber would be liable to arrest,” according to Ron Stein, associate director of Student Affairs. “While the UUAB is financially independent of the university,” said Dr. Stein, “Dr. Ketter is still responsible for what can be controlled on campus.” Buffalo police do have the right to come on campus with or without the permission of Campus Security, contended acting Student Association (SA) President Rich Hochmon. While acknowledging the The Devil in Miss JOnes had been shown at other schools, UUAB Films Director Michael Lerner said: “Morally,/if the Granada can’t show it, we shouldn’t show it either.’’ Administration and student representatives here were in mutual agreement that The Devil in Miss JOnes should — be temporarily canned, but an alternative student film group at the University of Michigan has had problems with the school administration over what could be shown. The problem came to a head when a film group renting university facilities presented Deep Throat to raise money for a local political campaign. When the Board of Regents discovered this, they placed a moratorium on the use of campus facilities the only ones available for movie viewing by non-student groups. — - �Caesar Chavez here July 5 Cesar Chavez, President of the United Farm Workers of America, will be speaking in Buffalo on Friday on July 5.

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

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

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

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

Centre Island is an incredibly beautiful place, with lush vegetation, duck-inhabited streams running under fairy-tailish bridges, high shade trees with spreading branches and the whole place just radiating an aura of serenity. We followed the path and crossed the bridge that leads to the site, and as we walked through the gate, the sun began to come out. (I know you don't believe me, but it's true.)

The artists each do an average of three to four concerts a day, so over the course of the weekend, you can theoretically see everyone. Or, if you have some favorites, you can see them ten times. Now, the concerts, for the most part, are not concerts in the strict sense of the word: they are workshops. A workshop is five or six artists getting together on stage and playing music tied together by a theme lyrical or musical. The title of a workshop alone was sometimes enticing enough to make me go see it. Like: Red Necks, White Socks, and Blue Ribbon Songs (country classics) or E Minor A 7, or how you and your friends can make music together, or Dirty Tricks in the Name of Love, or simple ones like B'ues or Classical to Jazz. Going to workshops is infinitely interesting: you get each artist's unique interpretation of the same theme. out ded s we and, :s of ong, — r no tare well — we the e. A lone Golden vibes So that was the schedule, but as we all know, a format doth not a festival make. What's really important is the quality of the vibes. Oh, there were such golden vibes. rees My companions and I had a running discussion (it lasted all weekend) about the reasons why the vibes were so good. Why was everybody so courteous no pushing, no shoving, no rushing, no becking, no fighting, no garbage, no noise while the performers were playing? My friends contend that it is in the nature of the native Canadian. I say it has more to do with the type of person who is into folk music, regardless of nationality. Besides the fact that folk music is everything except belligerent and aggressive, the idea that anybody can play is bound up intrinsically in the folk tradition. Anybody can play and everybody does. (All you had to do was count the number of instruments in the audience to see the truth of that.) Something even more deeply inherent in folk music is a kind of fundamental belief that life il in irth. with "Improvising Lyrics" workshop, David Amram made up a masterpiece connecting vegetarianism and Joseph Stalin ("cause if Joe had eaten lasagne instead of all that meat . . ."). Pete Seeger inevitably brought the house down with his tall tales. Steve Goodman kept us on a teeter-totter state between enrapt fascination at his guitar expertise and utter hysterics at his often ‘hilarious songs (for instance, his song about the TV show, Let's Make a Deal; "My Whole World Lies Behind Door Number Three"). Mary McCaslin had a way of turning a straight country song into a funny one; Jim Ringer's little ditties were performed with facial contortions as expressive as his lyrics ("I would have wrote you a letter, but I couldn't spell brech (?), and that's all I had to say"). — ling vith just idge the — the ped ling , is in both instances, it was much sing the next time around. Of course, good vibes are cyclical, and the artists had to shine for an audience as good as this one. Just looking at the artists, I knew they were having as good a time as I was. At a blues workshop, while Kate McGarigle was playing "Oh Papa Blues" on the piano, old time blues man Booker White got up and started doing a slow shuffle, eyes closed in ecstasy (you knew it was spontaneous). During the can be fun. What with that fact and the number of musicians present in the audience, there was no trouble with audience participation: everyone was up for folk dancing, or singing along.

Hallie McKay is her accompanying guitarist. Malvina had been trying to get Hallie to sing one by herself, and J finally convinced her on Sunday afternoon, with the help of the audience's coaxing. Hallie sang "Paper )est Roses," and she turned out to have quite a sweet of voice. When she finished, she got twice as much for half for applause as anyone else in the workshop: the song, half for simply overcoming her shyness. More than anything else, it reminded me of the little sister or cousin singing for the family, and as the case ? " — Labor of love One of the best shows I saw was a tribute to Merle Haggard. Adam Mitchell, who has one of the best country voices I've heard (slightly hoarse, not too twangy, very smooth), and Steve Goodman traded off lead vocals. Adam and Steve played rhythm and lead guitar, respectively, and with Saul Broudy on harp and Shelley Posen on dobro, and they showed all non-believers that country music is not necessarily the simplistic stuff that so many (' people write it off as. At another show, Kate and Anna McGarigje and Roma Barmes totally bowled me over. All three girls play a variety of instruments (they switched off between electric and acoustic bass, banjo, guitar, piano and accordion) and sing (Kate and Anna have especially beautiful voices), and perform the excellent songs that Kate and Anna write, there was no way they could have been less brilliant than they were. There was so much I didn't get to see, or only saw glimpses of. Eskimo dancers, string bands, old English Balladeers; I hear tell that during a jazz workshop David Amram took a spectacular break (playing) on his head. Oh well, such is the stuff legends are made of. Yes, when the performers and the concert-goers stroll around chatting with each other, you know something special is going down.

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

Single success First on stage was The Golden Earring, a hard rock-"psychedelic" band from Holland, currently riding the waves of success which their current AM single, "Radar Love," has attained. The band, a better than average third billing, was quite flashy, being Europe's answer to the Edgar Winter band. They began the set with a tune entitled "Big Tree, No escape From the Cult there Is no escape. Once you embark upon their death trip, there is no turning back. Vessir, Al Bouchard pounds his drums deep into the center of your skull, and brother Joe delivers a truely inspired bass solo. But its not over yet. The band cooks on Buck's boogie, Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma slash their guitars together, and raise them, crossed, skyward, as a sacrifice to the Gods they have foresaken. All five cultists stand, center stage,/assaulting every pair of ears present. Five guitars, Yessir! Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma hop across stage, arm in arm, and as the Cult run back out for their encore, they pounce upon their audience once again, with a rendition of “Born To Be Wild" which would make even John Kay quiver. Al Bouchard tosses drumsticks out to the screaming adorers, as smoke begins to blanket the stage, adding to the Enigma of the already enigmatic Blue Oyster Cult. What more can be said? - - E triple bill of The Golden Sarring, Nazareth and The Blue Oyster Cult. As is the usual fare for such heavy-metal spectacles, the concert started late, an hour and a half to be precise. The crowds could only discuss the probable triumphant crescendos which their anti-heros, the Cult, would deliver, as well as to emulate the very pugnacious, rambunctiousness which rock and roll is all about. But the equipment for the concert had arrived. Now it was only a matter of time.

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

HAIRCUT!! framework for stricter guidelines. Two of these students, John Menderhall and Ken Bersani, are currently drafting a bill that may be introduced by Congressman Jack Kemp (R., Hamburg) in August. Among the safeguards bei,ng considered are the development of training programs and legally-binding codes of ethics for computer operators and the adoption of stringent managerial controls at Data Centers. existing safeguards are “scattered around in an incredible patchwork of vague ‘rights of privacy’ statutes,” Dr. Boyer stressed. While nurses and other medical persons have to be accredited for character and competence, computer operators and others with access to damaging information obey only the , "self-imposed” dictates of confidentiality, he added. ! Under the current “tort” laws lor privacy, agreed Mr. Patchwork of statutes Menderhall, a person whose “There are no laws that confidentiality is violated must specifically protect the prove he has actually been confidentiality of computerized damaged by the disclosures, medical records,” contended Law making “compensatory and Professor Barry Boyer, a member punitive measures almost of the Joint Task Force.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

However, when it appeared that Matt Troy of Queens and Meade Esposito of Brooklyn were unable to deliver their delegations to Mr. LaFalce, the Tonawanda Assemblyman quickly canvassed the floor. He then withdrew from the race and threw his support to Ms. Krupsak. Countless meetings in the aisles and halls began and lasted through the second ballot. There was substantial downstate switching away from Krupsak. Reports were circulated that Bella Abzug had persuaded Queens and Brooklyn to go from Olivieri to Cuomo.

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

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

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

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

The Spectrum . Friday, 21 June 1974 �Magic Lantern by Jay Boyar Ever since Poe’s Murders In the Rue Morgue, the first detective story as such, murder mysteries have generally demanded a uniform type of mental gymnastics on the part of the reader/viewer, A murder is committed, a gallery of suspects is introduced, and then the viewer must, by a process of deductive elimination, discover the real murderer. Often the killer ends up being someone fairly like the “butler” or, these days, the innocuous — janitor. The Midnight Man, Burt Lancaster’s latest film, is interesting in that it reverses the viewer’s usual ''pftreess of ratiocination. Instead of the janitor being the unsuspected murderer, he is the innocent prime suspect. And instead of using a process' of elimination to deduce the killer’s identity, the viewer must employ a process of inclusion : that is, he must try to logically implicate as many people in the crime as possible. Briefly, The MM is the story of Jim Slade (Lancaster), an ex-con who served his time for shooting his wife’s lover. Slade gets a job with the campus security at a local college. Dyed-in-the-wool such people must exist will Burt Lancaster fans want to know th.it Burt’s allegedly-cute son, William, plays the boyfriend of the girl who is murdered. Lancaster afficionados will also be glad to hear that not only does Burt star in this film, but he in tandem with Ronald Kibbee additionally produced it, directed it, and wrote the screenplay based on the novel, The Midnight Lady and the Mourning Man by David Anthony. - — - - Chrisma Seeing Burt Lancaster act in this vehicle, it becomes more apparent to me why he is (was?) a superstar. While his portrayal of Slade did not take very much artistry to achieve, Lancaster has a “gimmick” that must have been very attractive to generations of filmgoers. His face is a crazy cross between a wildman's and a teddy bear’s, and in either case it is chisled out of sandstone. Listening to and terrible — line like, “I’m him spit out a typical my but Linda, neck, and I’ve got to do it sorry it’s my way!" gives a clue to his appeal. He has a way of pausing in his speech or moving his eyes slightly which brings an odd accent to the ordinary. Result: a corny but at the same time pleasant disorientation which forces us to pay attention and, often, believe his character. Making the ordinary dramatic and surprising in this way is fine for an actor, especially one who is in control of his scenes. But when a film is acted, written, and directed this way, there is the feeling that every effect has been programmed, every gasp — - is organized so that we can see with excruciating clarity who is on the screen instead of being set up for maximum advancement of the story each scene - and themes. The Murder Mystery While practically every frame shows one of the actors in vivid detail, the worst instance of “plot obscuring” comes near the movie’s end. The solution to the murder, which might be interesting if read and re-read in a book, is completely lost as Lancaster narrates several paragraphs of “solution.” It goes by too fast as if it didn’t matter; as if an entirely literal, non-visual explanation would do. This only emphasizes the film’s rather pedestrian aspect of violent action while sweeping the more interesting aspect of discovering the culprit under the carpet. It looks like The MM’s murder mystery is simply an excuse for action scenes rather than having the action grow out of the mystery. If I were of a less-charitable nature, I might even suggest that fledgling-director Lancaster made an over-long film, and then decided to cut out the final “solution” scenes to make the movie a more manageable length, replacing those scenes with a few seconds of narrative explanation. - Mickey Mouse To speculate, Lancaster's own the ultimate irony comes in statement about his job as director/actor: “There is a problem in directing yourself. You become so immersed in a scene as the director that you don’t respond on the same acting level as the other actors when you switch from directing.” What may account for his feeling that he is emphasizing his job as director is that Lancaster, basically an actor, has come to view any slight modification in his concept of a movie project in response to his directorial chores, as a grand "immersion’ in directing. Still, he is an actor (or, perhaps, a celebrity) at heart, and he thinks of scenes in terms of actors faces. In the end, it doesn’t pay to be too harsh on The MM It s a cheap but suspenseful flick, it has action and it moves along. Also, Lancaster does a pretty good acting job, as Slade, and so does Cameron Mitchell (The High Chapparal) as Slade’s friend, Quartz. Susan Clark (The Skin Game, Tel! Them Willie Boy Is Here ) as Slade’s parole officer/lover is too loud and fake, and so is the terribly obtrusive song that ends the movie. Still, the detective story super-structure, though underplayed, is sufficiently ingenious to be satisfying. Should it go by too fast for you (and it just might) write to me and well, I’ll explain it. - Summerfest Clapton The Band at Rich Stadium , 1 can’t believe it. Eric Clapton and The Band on tour. What can I say? That the two best living rock guitarists, and all in all some of the best rock and roll musicians from either side of the Atlantic are touring together? Why would these acts, both with a celebrated history of reticence (it’s been three years since Clapton did a tour, had been three for the Band until the Dylan tour), hit the road again? Maybe they popped their heads out one day, saw the world of rock turning into one big ball of multi-CGlSred ten-cent glitter and decided they’d better remind everyone of what it’s really all about. Clapton’s history of outstanding achievements hardly needs stating, but just to get the adrenalin flowing, let’s indulge. The Yardbirds, Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney and what? Bonnie and Friends, Derek and the Dominoes, and now Similarly, The Band, besides elevating Dylan’s music ten levels above everything else whenever they back him up (as was proven in the recent tour), is considered by many, including me, to be the best rock band around. They are also one of the most musically exciting acts ever to hit a stage tight, incredibly subtle, and overwhelmingly right there all the time. What makes this particular show even more worth looking forward to is that both Clapton and The Band will probably be playing new his music. Eric has a new album coming out 461 Ocean Boulevard first studio LP in four years. The Band is also overdue for that new album Robbie Robertson’s been talking about for so long. As expected, Carl Radle will be backing up Clapton on bass, along with George Terry, Jamie Oldaker, Dick Sims and Yvonne Elliman. Opening the show will be British group Ross. Blastoff is scheduled for July 6, 6 p.m.. Rich Stadium. (Which brings us to the one bringdown. Just me and Clapton and Robertson and 80,000 other people.

Dylan/Band tour, put out by Rolling Stone Magazine. It’s called Knockin' 'On Dylan’s Door, and I often felt that’s exactly what the reporter was doing. Six out of twelve pieces done by one of Rolling Stone's regulars, Ben Fong-Torres, smacked of the kind of fan magazine voyeurism that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Trivial trivia. Who cares what Dylan was wearing in Philly, or what he talked about with Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter, or that he only eats vegetables? (Rolling Stone obviously thinks a lot of people do care.) The reporter constantly reminds us of Dylan’s desire for privacy, then goes right ahead, hounding Bob for interviews, nosing his way into private parties and reunions, asking inane questions like: “Would you like to be a movie star?” I CLEARANCEeCLEARANCEeCLEARANCE Boots! Boots! Boots! By Frye, Durango, THE BEST FOR LESS! / Little details Of course, one could say the sole purpose of this or any other “On the Road With’’ book is to tell those who want to know exactly what went down, all the specific little hassles and exactly that fuck-ups, what the crowds looked like, what other stars thought of it, etc. In this sense, the book is extremely successful. (Find out which of the concerts were truly immediate sellouts. Hear how Bill Graham played basketball with the Madison Square Garden crew!) However, a few pieces really are worth reading. Although they all untimately end up at a specific concert on the tour, they are more commentaries on Dylan than reviews of his performances. Ralph Gleason, Ellen Willis, and Nat Hentoff have written admittedly subjective, but nevertheless quite perceptive commentaries on the influence Dylan has had on the world, the world of music, and themselves. Poet Michael McClure’s essay, “The Poet’s Poet,’ is the outstanding piece in the book, a very sensitive and thoughtful analysis of Dylan the Truit, Georgia Giant, Waffle Stompers, Converse Sneakers, Mocs, Work Boots in sizes for guys and gals!

It looked like Follmer might catch him but Oliver’s Shadow had enough in reserve to gather in the win. It was a sweet victory for Oliver, who has been with the heretofore unsuccessful Shadow team since 1971. It was his first victory in a major race in nearly four years. Follmer's fastest lap at 118:66 mph eclipsed the previous Can-Am lap record at Mosport, establishing the Shadows as the cars to beat.

Oliver, who started from the back of the grid, edged teammate George Follmer to win the 50 lap feature race by .4 seconds. Oliver’s 1 ; 14.5 qualifying time gave him the pole position for the 30 lap sprint. Follmer was only .6 seconds slower to earn the outside front row position. The two Shadows clearly were the class of the race as Scooter Patrick’s M20 McLaren in third position was more than three seconds slower than Oliver.

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

Newsweek magazine. Although rapidly expanding college enrollments during the 1960’s underscored the need for increasing numbers of faculty, rising tuition costs and reductions — Funding priorities ‘The schools of Buffalo are not the number one priority of the Council,” agreed Leonard Sikora, principal of nearby Bennett High School. Because the city has a limited amount of money to work with and schools are “not the primary consideration,” some activities and programs have to go.

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

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

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

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

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

Examples are all too frequent; the Beatles, Buffalo Springfield, the Who, Cream, on and on, including, the Grateful Dead. Of course, the problem is a group becomes "super" through a mixture of all its members' talents. Each one modifies and enhances the others. But in times like these, when too many are only in it for the money, a solo earns more than a COMPLIMENTS OF group.

Compliments of Garcia is a well-made album (good production, good recording, very competent musicians). How could it not be? Besides having some of his old collaborators sitting in (like Merle Saunders), he's helped along by a major part of the increasingly familiar family of studio musicians; Michael O'Martian, Bobbye Hall, Larry Carlton, Richard Greene, Maria Muldaur and more. Also some excellent arrangers and engineers. Also some fine material: songs by Van Morrison, Dr. John, Jegger/Richards, Chuck Berry, etc. With all this, plus his own talent going for him, how could Garcia go wrong? Very easily. First, there is no distinctive sound. When using musicians to blend into the background of anything, the songs tend towards their natural habitat. "Let It Rock" sounds like a Chuck Berry song, "Russian Lullaby" like one of Irving Berlin's. Slightly altered but basically the same, all these sounds are good, but they're somebody else's. About the only thing that ties the album together is Garcia's voice —'which is not the best, although I must admit, unique. However, there is a more fundamental flaw. Garcia lacks inspiration. Jerry doesn't really seem to care anymore. Nothing new. Nothing different. (Remember when a new Dead album meant a new musical trip every time? Seems like that was so long ago.)

This ultimate in travel experience is being offered, for a limited time only, by your friendly keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman on his second solo attempt, Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Wow, what a trip. Of Yes fame, Wakeman has certainly descended appreciably from his first album, The Six Wives of Henry VIII. Demonstrating the full potential in music today, Wakeman is simply a genius with his nine keyboards. Producing a musical interpretation of the lives and characters of the women involved with England's most capricious monarch is a feat which hr performs flawlessly. His new album, however, is like having a one way ticket to Lackawanna (and you know how bad that can be).

Such an immense project as this poses numerous production problems. However, after much deliberation, the London Symphony Orchestra and the English Chamber Choir, along with a extra number of unknown artists, were chosen to transform this vision into a reality. What a nightmare! The London Symphony Orchestra, in its usual manner (remember Tommy), completely smothers Wakeman on his own album. The ultimate musical combination of orchestra with synthesizers leaves much to be desired, even without the added excitement of the soprano vocals.

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

Michael Metzger, professor of German, sees this estimated figure as a menace. “Over-tenuring in a non-growth situation isi a danger,” said Metzger. “It is necessary for universities to continually replenish their intellectual resources,” agreed Dr. Segal.

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

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

The Spectrum Friday, 7 June 1974 . — 2 �Delaware Ave. mansions still face rezoning, future razing by Michael O’Neill Managing Editor Despite an announcement last Monday by the International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) that it has abandoned plans to purchase three historic mansions on Delaware Avenue and construct an _cffice complex and parking lot on the site, the fate of the three landmarks is still up in the air. The agreement that IBM had with the buildings current owners The Catholic Diocese of Buffalo and Child and Family Services, Inc. called for a zoning ordinance change to be completed by April 1, 1974, that would have allowed construction to begin. The Buffalo Common Council approved this change earlier in the year, but local community groups challenged the decision in the courts and have succeeded in bottling up the transaction. The case is now back in the State Supreme Court, where it was returned by the Appellate Division for clarification of the City Council’s right to use “spot zoning” provisions for the conversion of choice residential property to a commercial site. — — “Spot Zoning Ordinance,” which allows a small stretch of land to be rezoned for “special development,” even though the property may be in a residential area. The various community residents who the Council’s decision have ' pointed out that the total acreage of the three mansions is too small to qualify for “spot rezoning.” Legal principles The city, for it’s part, has decided to continue the court case in order to resolve the legal controversy and have the matter cleared up, “We are pressing the case only to have the legal principles established,” said Anthony Manguso, the City Corporation Counsel. “We are interested in the future effect of the Council’s decision to rezone, and the legal basis of that decision, not just the specific case at hand. We don’t want to have the problem all over again if either party decides to sell the property in the future.” Pursue case Initially, it appeared that the IBM decision would put an end to the controversy and preserve the mansions, but both the present owners and the city have decided toiurther„pursue the case. We intend to continue our The purchase of the property law suit to complete the rezoning, and subsequent construction of a we and IBM is still hope $4 million office building would legally obligated to purchase the land,” explained Alvin M. Click, reportedly have added some $200,000 to the city’s tax roles. attorney for the Child and Family The threat of losing such a Services Agency. “They claim the considerable sum has aroused zoning delay has invalidated the agreement,” added Kevin concern among both supporters Kennedy, attorney for the and opponnets of the Delaware Catholic Diocese of Buffalo. “We Avenue site. “I’m happy about the decision are, however, going to go ahead with the rezoning effort, and have not to build on Delaware Avenue, but I certainly hope IBM decides not yet decided what action we will take against IBM should they to remain in the city,” said Paul fail to comply with the Shatkin, a attorney for the local residents who had contested the agreement.” The litigation centers around zoning change. ‘The tax value,” the City Council’s right to alter he added, “has been an inflated zoning under the provision of the issue. The issue here was not tax — dollars... but to preserve the city as a palatable place to live.” Tax rolls William Hoyt, the Delaware District Councilman, expressed concern over a possible departure of IBM from the city, but said he had been informed that the corporation was considering another downtown site. “I think it’s definite they’ll go ahead with something; we could sure use that building on the city tax rolls.!’. Dr. Charles Battisita, head of a community group called Save the Mansions Inc. was critical of the owners decision to go ahead with the rezoning. “They want their pound of flesh,” Dr. Battista said. “They are more concerned with the amount of money they can get for the property than the good of the city as a whole.” No trial date has been set for the hearing, but whgn it is held, , II remain uncertain until the issue of spot zoning is resolved — the burden of proof will be with the sellers. ‘They will have to prove they can spot zone in a residential area for profit,” explained Dr. Battista. Once the final zoning decision is resolved in the courts, it will be up to the present owners and IBM to determine what can be done with the buildings. If spot zoning is upheld, the sale might still be made to the huge corporation. If it is refuted, the Diocese, and the Child and Family Services will either have to retain ownership or find a new buyer, one willing to take over the site without the zoning modification. Save the Mansions Incorporated has indicated they will work to ensure the preservation of the current sites. They will maintain a booth at the Downtown Arts Festival this weekend to keep people aware of the situation and segister support for preservation of the mansions.

In all likelihood, charters will have to explain the intellectual purpose of the college, its educational and “pedagogical styles,” an explanation of how at 12:30 in 233 Norton.

If a session is open, the members of the Collegiate committee will then vote to Assembly, and one academic accept each person individually to affairs council representative. “make sure the guests have serious interests in the discussions.” Some meetings may have to be closed, Mr. Szekely predicted, because the committee will be sometimes reviewing confidential personnel references, and state law mandates that “nobody but prospective employers or review organs be present.” Therefore, there will be at least ony public hearing for each college where arlyone “who has something to say can say it,” he explained. Mr. Szekely expects the number of observers to fluctuate because some colleges are more controversial and will draw more interest. “I don’t think we’ve put a numerical limit on it but it would be awkward with 100 that’s what the public people hearing is for.” - Two-fold review Yoran Szekely The committee will begin to accept formal applications for chartering on August 15.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ensemble (represented at this performance by Julius Eastman, Peter Kotik, and Jan Williams) at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. The evening commenced with the performance of Anxiety Play by Kurt Schwitters, a painter associated with the Dada group following the end of World War I and noted for his work in the medium of collage. The play cons' fs of two men, with one telling the other that he is under arrest anu the other saying "No." This continues with the one person denying that the other can do any of the things he threatens (murder, etc.) until they agree that the only thing one can do to the other is "incarcerate" him at which time he happily comes along.

Erratum Musical (for two pianos and celeste) and Erratum Musical for three voices, both 1913 works by Duchamp. Unfortunately there isn't much to say about them unless one wants to enter into an endless discussion of what actually constitutes the unique sensibility of Duchamp. UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Summer hours Wednesday 2 5 & Thursday 10-5 Passports ss.oofors Applications - This is especially problematic in light of the fact that the notes of both pieces and the order in which they appeared were determined two different ways; by assigning each note on the piano a number and pulling the numbers out of a hat, and by designing an apparatus comprised of a toy railroad and a container filled with 88 numbered marbles. These pieces are not represented by Duchamp in anything but the number sequence and were in fact realized by Petr Kotik. The question therefore arises as to whether these newly-realized works have anything to do with Duchamp outside of the original conception of randomness. - G .T. MOVING SALE! We're lazy!

Although new to the Buffalo area, these compact, pleasant theaters are part of the American Multi-Theater chain that actually pioneered the concept of a multi-movie house. They initiated the first twin cinema in 1963, the first 4-plex in '66, and the first 6-plex later that year. They've asked me to mention Where the Lillies Bloom a film I've not seen, but which has been getting a lot of publicity lately. Also, I must point out that the Boulevard Mall Cinema on Alberta and Maple is re-issuing Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid starting June 12th. Other summertime films there will be Bootleggers; Our Time and Policewomen. called Joe. Peter Boyle played Joe I can still recall his hilarious if heavy-handed malicious speech against practically every minority group. The film was quite popular and launched Boyle on his way to fame. Now, after playing everything from a Utica, N.Y. sales representative in T.R. Baskin to a politico in The Candidate, Boyle is back as "Joe" a somewhat different "Joe" in the film Crazy Joe. "Crazy Joe" shares "Joe's" love of violence and his obsessive nature. He also physically looks and talks more like "Joe" than any other character Tve«seen Boyle play. Perhaps director Carlo Lizzani hoped to cash in on the popularity of Joe in this new film. Since Crazy Joe is about the Mafia, he also hoped that Godfather fans will flock to see it. However, Crazy Joe is finally just a nasty movie. — Editor — offer comments on current films. While the paper was resting, I've been knocking around town, trying to catch up on films I've missed, getting the jump on new movies, and generally making of for lost time. The Conversation Como Six Theaters "He was once somebody's baby boy and he had a mother and a father who loved him . . There he is on the park bench, and where are his mother and father and all his uncles?" Although this bit of dialogue from The Conversation was spoken about another character, it will serve as a . pretty good description of the movie's central figure, Harry Caul played by Gene Hackman (The French — — Despite an interesting cast including Paula Prentis, this lumbering action film does not even have the advantage of speed. It seems interminable because the thing that should hold it together a look into Joe's obsessive consciousness is too superficial to generate interest in the character. Unlike Harry Caul in The Conversation, we never get much of a clue as to what makes Crazy Joe crazy.

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

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

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

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

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

Viet prisons Two community clinics to test persons 18 and over for diabetes and 15 and over for hypertension have been scheduled by the Erie County Health Department and the Diabetes Detection Service of Erie County. The clinic schedule is as follows: South Buffalo Mercy Tuesday, June 11 Hospital, 56S Abbott Road, 12 noon to 6 p.m. West Side Community Sunday, June 23 Health Fair, Peace Bridge Exhibition Center, Porter A venue, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. - by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor — The U.S. Section of the International Committee to Free South Vietnamese Political Prisoners from Detention, Torture Mandatory fee is subject to review Death, is building a and nation-wide letter-writing campaign to win the freedom of some 200,000 political prisoners still being held by the South Vietnamese government. With heated debate expected soon in Congress concerning the funding of the Thieu government in South Vietnam, the International Committee is asking people to their Senators and urge Representatives to cut all aid to the Thieu regime. According to the North American Research on the M i lit ary-Industrial-Complex (NARM1C), the U.S. government is paying 80% of the cost of billion to fund Thieu’s military efforts for the 1975 fiscal year, an increase of nearly half a billion dollars over 1974. When the New York State Legislature adjourned at 7 a m., May 16, it closed the door for the remainder of the year on several controversial attempts to restrict or abolish the mandatory student activity fee. The mandatory fee is a student-assessed tax used to fund student activities which fall within State University Board of Trustees guiflelines as decreed in March, 1971. Because the current law mandates that each State University of New York (SUNY) campus hold a student referendum every four years, students at this university will determine during the coming year whether activity programs are to be supported by mandatory or voluntary fees. Those schools voting for mandatory fees collect them at registration and can enforce payment by withholding transcripts. PIRC prohibitions Part of this year’s controversy involved a number of controversial projects funded by fees. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) began work on a series of legislative profiles of State legislators. Since a number of local PIRGs are funded by the mandatory fee, questions were raised about the legality of funding activities like the legislative profile and PIRGs in general. According to Board of Trustees guidelines, projects “with a religious or political purpose” are explicitly excluded from funding Money available The International Committee claims $10 million in Defense funds is available for Thieu’s prison and police system. (Article 4 of the Paris Peace Agreement states: “The United States will not continue its military involvement or intervene in the internal affairs of South Vietnam.”) Reports of wide-spread torture and death of South Vietnamese prisoners are becoming more widely publicized. Tran Linh, a Saigonese judge and former political prisoner, was quoted in the Cleveland Plain Dealer of June 23, 1973: “I have seen with my own eyes persons fastened to benches, into whose mouth and nose interrogators poured sewage water, soapy water and even latrine water until their stomachs swelled to the bursting point,” David and Jane Barton, physio-therapists who worked in Quang Ngai prison hospital, were quoted in the British film, “A Question of Torture,” produced by Granada Films; “The torture we see the results of most is the torture that results from people having been given electricity. They (the police) usually attach electrical wires to people’s toes, fingers or sensitive parts of their body. People say they go unconscious when they’re given the shock, and when they recover this will be consciousness, cAURUM HANDCRAFTED AND ANTIQUE JEWCUTT Q53BA*VDOO *B*JE / 883-6786 TUE.-SAI / *30-300/ / repeated three or four times, and then the person will be allowed to for a certain period of time . . . and then it will be rest repeated one or two more times . . . Seizures come from the fact that people have been tortured (in this way].” Speaking in Berkeley, California on October 2, 1973, Anthony Russo said that when he was in Vietnam in the mid-I960’s, half of the prisoners he talked with said they were tortured. the ago, Two months International Committee issued a statement listing six people who were tortured to death at Vo Tanh National Police Headquarters in Saigon. Three of the dead are Nguyen ngoc Anh, a 31 year old unskilled worker; Tran van Bau, a 16 year old fisherman; and Ho van Ngoc, a 42 year old farmer.

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

Activist attacks inequality and calls for greater involvement The need for all segments of society to unite in an effort to make government more responsive was explored by Barbara Williams, Executive Director of the Washington DC.-based Coalition For Human Needs and Budget Priorities, at a luncheon in the Ellicott neighborhood facility last Friday. Ms. Williams discussed the role of human interest groups in the I970’s and the possible demise of the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO). No group in this country can work alone and win, she repeatedly stressed. Programs for social improvement like health care and the unequal distribution of wealth affect everyone, not just Chicanos and Blacks, said Ms. Williams. “Richard Nixon appeals to the white middle-class by making allusions that their tax burden supports Black welfare loafers instead of noting that the majority of people on welfare are white,” she claimed. Again, referring to the country’s unequal distribution of wealth, Ms. Williams said: “No one even talks about ‘getting the rich off welfare’.” V —continued from page 1— f regarding a drug’s ingredients and use. More importantly, the label tells the physician which product was taken by the patient.” (Incorrect labelling of a drug item Discussing the future of the OEO.Ms. Williams claimed the constitutes a misdemeanor under State Education Law 3303-A.) organization was never geared to fight poverty but only to “get WNYPIRG off riot streets.” She admitted, however, that the OEO had at least enabled people to “realize they were citizens.” The OEO has been extended for three years by the House of Representatives, but this legislation still must pass in the Common interests “If people do not unite,” she Senate and Executive branch. If stated, “a psychology of the OEO goes out of business, a powerlessness gripping people will local community action system remain. We need an identification will be created by the Department of common human interests in a of Health, Education and Welfare, common language where one Ms. Williams said, and people will doesn’t need an advanced degree have to learn the workings of local in economics to understand the government and revenue sharing. Thus, blacks, labor, and the poor issues.” Ms. Williams blamed the news would effectively be using the media for not coming to terms skills they acquired entangling with real human problems. She with the Washington bureaucracy cited examples of the belated during the 60’s to break through the complexities of local government, she maintained. 3 The Coalition for Human Needs and Budget Priorities is a national organization representing ninety organizations. The Coalition provides voting record data and information on the issue positions individual members of Congress have taken. It also conducts a. full-time lobbying people that discovered only two of the 18 pharmacies bothered to maintain patient profiles. These are records of an individual’s past and current prescriptions, medical history and drug allergies, and are any maintained in order “to enable the pharmacist to alert the patient to possible harmful drug combinations.” Digoxin is one of the few drugs in which certain generic brands are inferior to others. The brand Lanaxin is preferred by most cardiologists nationally “because of its high potency and ability to be absorbed by the body.” Six of the 18 pharmacies substituted other generic brands instead of filling the prescription with Lanoxin. Due to the pharmacists’ failure to label the drugs, the identity of these products remain unknown to both physicians and patients. Caveat Emptor Finally, it was reported that “a side study of pricing patterns showed a more than 500% price variation between the lowest and highest priced pharmacy.” “The conclusion of this study,” Ms. Luber said, “is that consumers are not being protected by the present laws.” Several subsequent recommendations for 1 action were put forth by the WNYPIRG team: “The Food and — Drug Administration require prominent label ■ warnings in advertising materials and on packaging of over-the-counter drugs to alert consumers of potential hazards. “The FDA require manufacturers to provide information to insure that generic products be truly equivalent to brand name products. “The Professional Standard Review Organization be expanded to include pharmacists and other health care professionals as well as - physicians. , “The New York State Board of Pharmacy use the powers it already has to protect the public and to guarantee high pharmacist standards. — YjOdTns umer education programs be expanded to include education relative to the selection of responsible pharmacists.” Benefit dinner The Public Affairs Committee of the Unitarian-Universalist Church and the American-Vietnamese Friendship Committee, are sponsoring a Vietnamese dinner this Friday, June 6, at 6 p.m. at the Unitarian Church at 695 Elmwood Avenue (at Ferry).
