Hoopsters Take Oh Ithaca In Rematch

The Albany State vanity basketball team mutt defeat two tough rival* thia week If they want to extend then- win atieak to 12 straight game*.

Albany playi Ithaca Wednesday night at home and then goes •gainst Sienna Friday night in Troy.

Last year,; Ithaca stopped Albany's win streak at 14 straight. While Albany boasts a 12—3 record and Ithaca comes here with a lets impressive 8—8 record, the Albany hoopsters should not take Ithaca lightly. For one, Ithaca averages 6—2 for their starting five, while Albany averages about 6—0. Ithaca also has a fine shooter in Qreg Albano who is averaging 19.3 a game. Ed Kawalski also averages in double figures for Ithaca.

Albano and Kawalski also lead Ithaca in rebounding, pulling down 14 and 10 respectively.

Siena has an unimpressive 6-7 record. But they have one big advantage, height. Their starting team averages 6-4. Their two big men up front are Tom Sheridan and Bob herman, both 6-7. Herman is averaging 22 points a game. Tom Welch, 6-4, is also averaging in double figures. Mike Seymore does the play making for the Indiana.

Albany goes into Wednesday night's game after a sensational win against Hobart. As has become custom lately, Rich

Margison scored a basket in the final seconds to insure the win for State. Margison was named to the All-ECAC team,for the fourth straight week. Scott Price played one of hit best garnet of the year, scoring 13 of his 15 points in the second half while Margison rode the bench with three personal fouls.

Every Great Dane rooter remembers the stinging reason that the' NCAA regional tournament selection committee gave for not choosing |a strong (18-4) Albany team for but year's playoffs: "Your schedule it Just too weak!" What they meant was that we play the likes of New Paltz State, Oneonta State, Oswego, Pittsburgh, Potsdam, etc. These are, perennially, the weaker squads that State faces. And yet, few could hold back a chuckle or two when little Buffalo State easily won that very regional tournament. Buffalo had won the State Athletic Conference that year—an endeavor which took up more than half its schedule—by defeating such tough competition as New Paltz State, Oneonta State, Oswego, e t c . . . .

Adding insult to injury, the regional committee, heavily Weighted with New England-member schools last year, chose a mediocre (12-8) Northeastern University team. Happily, New Yorkers, and Albany in particular, will no longer be subject to the same regional committee. The NCAA-small college (.division realigned the regions over the summer and New York and New Jersey now comprise one region known as the Eastern region. Any new intra-regional bias may work in Albany's favor now for most New Jersey teams participate in the NAIA post season tournament. This leaves the four team NCAA tourney field almost exclusively to the Empire State.

Both LeMoyne College of Syracuse and Buffalo State will be very strong contenders for tourney bids. Both have fine records and show impressive victories against tough opposition. Albany is not without its big victories, the most important being over Merrimack, Siena, and Hartwick, all by one point. An impressive sixteen point win over West Chester State, a university division team, will also look good to this year's regional committee. Luckily, the New Paltz, Oswego, and Potsdam games will come after the committee makes their selections this year.

All this brings Albany, with a 12-3 record and a ten game win streak, to tomorrow night's game with Ithaca. This and the Siena game, Friday, will decide whether or not Albany State's cagers are deserving of a bid. Victories in these two games should insure the Sauersmen a tourney invitation, just one year late!

Frosh Defeat Foe Soundly

T h e A l b a n y f r e t h m a n basketball team routed Hobart, 60-45, Saturday night.

The freshman hoopsters led by 20 points at half time and teemed to play a little sluggish in the second half. But their lead was too big for Hobart to overcome as they went to a ball-control game offense late in the game.

Albany won.the game mainly on their defense, as they forced Hobart into several turnovers in the first half. The teams shooting-eyes Were off as they hit only about 30 percent o f their shots from the floor.

Dan Cokely was Albany's high scorer with 15 points. Cokely is an EOP student and he could add the extra strength the team has been looking for. -

Mike Bendzell, who has been playing good ball for Albany since returning from his ankel injury, scored 11. John Heher scored 9. Heher has been averaging 15.

Gene Bost, who hat been averaging 12 points a game, was held to only three.

The freshman meet RPI Wednesday night. RPI has been averaging 100 points a game. Frosh coach Robert Lewis plans to play a ball-control game, and try and slow RPI's offense down.

Why read as they didlOO year sago?

mmmm

One hundred years ago, peo­ple read the way you're reading right now — word by word — somewhere around 300 words a minute. And 100 years ago, that kind of reading didn't cause any problems. They could pretty well keep up with what was going on.

Hut today, things are happen­ing so fast that people who try to keep ahead find that they're actually falling behind. There's simply too much to read — too much homework — too many magazines — too many books — too many reports, memos and

periodicals. We're in the middle of an information explosion.

V!. .T'S the solution? There's only one. '.earn how to read faster and be. '".r, Evelyn Wood has discovered t. • way, and al­ready over 300,000' people have learned it. So can you.

You can become a dynamic reader in eight weeks. We guar­antee it. In fact, if you don't at least triple your reading speed with eqtial or better comprehen­sion, the course won't cost you a thing.

This is the same course thai President Kennedy had his tojil aides take. The same one many) U.S. senators and congressmen have taken. As Senator Herman Talmadge of Georgia said on| completing Mrs. Wood's course, "If these techniques were insti tuted in the public and private) schools of our country, it would be the greatest single step we| could take in educational prog rcss."

Senate denies state aid to 'lawbreakers'

Compiled by Norm Rich

ALBANY, Feb. 12--Spurred by the specter of the Columbia disturbance, the State Senate voted Wednesday to deny state aid to unruly students.

Sponsored by Sen. John E. Flynn, Rep. of Yonkers, the bill penalizes any student convicted of an on-campus felony or misdemeanor.

The latter category includes such crimes as "aggravated harassment, criminal nuisance, p o s s e s s i o n of n o x i o u s materisl""Such as smoke bombs, and similar crimes associated with campus demonstrations.

Funds curtailment would primarily take the form of State Regents Scholarships and Scholar Incentive Awards. Understood by the Senators, an amendment also would be included affecting such grants as SEEK, a program which p r o v i d e s h e l p for t h e "environmentally deprived" student

"These young people are now getting out of line completely, especially when the taxpayer is subsidizing their education," asserted Sen. Flynn, summing up the debate for the G.O.F. majority.

On the other side, Democratic Senator Harrison J. Goidin noted, "We are indulging our passion for shallow vindictivenesss...the other side (GOP) is more interested in saving money than in solving the serious social problems which confront us."

However over one-quarter of the Democrats did indeed vote "yea" resulting in a final vote of 37-15. The bill is now passed on to the Assembly. Last ye:.r, following the Columbia episode, Republican Majority Leader Earl Brydgcs succeeded in passing a similar bill, differing from the present bill only in that the power to usurp aid rested with the Board of Regents.

Brydes bill was later killed by a D e m o c r a t i c a l l y controlled Assembly. That House is now in Republican hands. Thus passage of the bill now appears imminent.

FSA to consider new meal proposal Results of the recent meal plan

survey have made evident student dissatisfaction with the existing meal system.

As a result, the Room and Board Study Committee (an ad-hoc committee of living Area Affairs Commission) has met with Mi*. Robert A. Cooley, director of Faculty Student, Association.

Mr. Cooley has expressed a desire to meet the needs of the student body.

As a result of this meeting, the Committee has formulated the following proposals for the 1969-70 academic year.

20 meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) per week;

13 meals (Lunch and Dinner) per week;

14 meals (Breakfast and Dinner) per week;

7 meals (Dinner) per week; 5 meals (Lunches-non-res­

idents only) per week).

"We are now awaiting price estimates for each proposal, which

*»S

will be available to the students in the ASP one week from today," said Steve Lobel, Chairman of the Committee.

The prices and meal plans will be printed in questionnaires to be distributed to and filled out by students when they pick up next month's meal cards.

T h e p u r p o s e of t h i s questionnaire is to establish adequate student .support to warrant the adoption of the above proposals for next year.

Lobel noted, "The problem of students feeding strangers with their seconds has already caused costs torise substantially. In order to protect those students who do not abuse their contracts, the s e c o n d s p o l i c y will be eliminated."

Memners of the LAAC Room and Board Study Committee include: Steve Lobel, Holly Cohen, Peter Haley, George SeyforLh, and Sharon Scully.

SDS to formulate power relationship

by Debbie Hummel

Registration for the "great movement" weekend, sponsored by the Niagara Region of Students for a Democratic Society ( SDS ) (upstate N.Y.) will take place in the Campus Center noon Friday and continue through Sunday as the events of the weekend unfold.

The two-dollar registration fee will be used by SDS to help support their Spring and Summer programs. Conference literature and housing will be assigned at registration.

Newsreels will be shown today from 4-6 p.m. and Saturday from 6-7:16, at a location to be announced. The films to be shown will feature the Columbia revolt, the Black Panthers, and Chicago, created by radical filmmaker Norm Fruchter.

Two proposals to be discussed at a general meeting tonight at 7 p.m. in LR 3 will be plans for a summer project and an idea for coordinated regional action against the military on college and high school campuses.

From 8-9 Friday night in LR 3, SDS will sponsor the Pagaent Players, a New York street theatre group. Following this will be a panel discussion from 9-11 p.m. Chip Marshal, discussing ROTC and military on campus and the Draft; Bernadine Dohrn, inter-organization secretary of SDS, on woman's liberation; Jeff Gordon, of the Progressive Labor Party, on labor organizing; and Walt Shepar, on community colleges, will be among the panelists.

On Saturday, February 15, at 9:30 a.m., announcements and workshop rearrangements will be made in LR 3. This is to be followed by the workshops in classrooms of the Humanities Building.

The Conference workshops will cover a wide variety of topics, including guerilla theatre, high schools, underground press, radical teaching, problems of capitalism, Cuba, racism, socialism, and imperialism. Some resource people present at the workshops will be Steve Halliwell, former national officer of SDS; Harry Magdoff, of a new school for social research; Ted Gold, of Teachers for a Democratic Society; Nick Freudenberg, a high school organizer; Paul Sweezy, editor of the Monthly Review; Jim Jacobs, community organizer in Detroit NOC; and Mike Klare, of the North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA).

This conference will be concluded Sunday morning from 10 until noon, after which will be a break until 1 p.m. Workshops will be resumed from 1-3 p.m. in the same locations. Newsreel films will also be shown Sunday at a time and location to be announced.

Among the plans of the four-point program adopted by the Niagara regional SDS will be for "each chapter to research the power relationship between its school and the immediate community." This reasearch will be presented at the next quarterly regional convention.

"Each district is to develop an integrated-district program with respect to its member chapters and non-student constituencies. The districts are to develop district consciousness through a district newspaper, a di strict program, and district assemblies.

"The program also stresses that Niagarans develop regional consciousness through a regional newspaper, district-linking programs, and regional conventions. Regional travelers and a regional treasury are necessary to implement this program."

Underground site chosen for nuclear accelerator

Work Begins Construction continues on the new accel-alor despite fresh snow, photo by Sue Steigar

by Ed Weiss A nuclear accelerator is to be built

completely underground between State Quad and the Biology building. Dr. J.B. Garg, Professor of Physics, has stated that the accelerator will probably be finished by January of 1970 and research will begin during the Spring Semester of 1970.

The nuclear accelerator will cost approximately $400,000 and is based on a desib." by Radiation Dynamltrons, Inc. Its production capacity enables it to produce higher currents than the Vandergraff accelerator, It can produce 4 million electron volts making possible the study of certain phenomena unable to be studied Defore.

The accelerator will be used to study the properties of- nuclei by investigating the nuclear structure of the atom. Research

may be made into the effects of radiation on various metals. The Biology and Chemistry Departments may also use the accelerator for research.

The Physics Department hopes to attract at least a dozen graduate students interested in programs dealing with the fundamental structure of matter. Fifteen graduate students and fifteen seniors now work on the project. Collaboration with neighboring colleges in the Albany urea, especially R.P.I., is anticipated,

It's hoped that the Federal and state governments plus private contributions, will be obtained to help defray the cost of the accelerator. The University has alto applied for grants from such Institutions as the Atomic Energy Commission and the National Science Foundation.

Is it ttlll conceivabla that student tax wi l l be mandatory next year? How?

According to Duncan Nixon, President of Central Council, it is not very probable that the tax will be mandatory for Fall 1969. He said that the tax can be made mandatory by only two methods. These are: 1. a Central Council elected by the entire student body could vote to make tax mandatory or 2. a referendum of the entire student body could be held in which a proposal to make the tax mandatory would be presented in a peice of legislation.

Presently, the first method could not be used since this Council was not elected by the entire student body.

Why is i t that Food Service has l imited Colonial Quad students to $.95 in their purchase of lunch on the Colonial cash line yet it still charges the person wi thout a lunch card $1.10 on the contract lines?

Originally, the Colonial Quad cash line was set up to accommodate paying guests (i.e. faculty, staff, etc) since the Campus Center dining facilities were overloaded. Mr. Haley of Food Service said that the food in the cash line is more costly. Ordinarily the allotment per student for lunch is ,$.65. This amount was not deemed sufficient to provide an adequate meal. Haley said that students, themselves

requested a lowering in the fee from $1.10 to $.95 in order to eat on the quad.

This service would have been discontinued if the reduction was not made.

Does the University grant leaves of absence to students?

No. In order for a student to leave the university, even if he plans to return, he must formally withdraw.

Dean Thompson of Student Affairs said that the student must go to the Student Affairs Office Ad 129 to fill out the appropriate forms. He advises that a student who is considering withdrawing discuss the situation with his advisor in the University College or the academic dean

Will the present system of pro-registration bo continued for next fall?

Mrs. Cook, Assistant to the Registrar stated that the rotating alphabet system currently used would not be fair unless it was continued for a longer period of time. This system attempts to give everyone an opportunity to pre-register during the first days by changing the alphabetical priority lisl each semester.

A change in the system is not being planned for Fall 1969 at this time.

NOTICE

State Utweuity l&ookitou

We are happy to announce that required textbooks for the Spring Semester will be furnished during the period February

3-28 at a price 5 % below list.

This reduction has been made possible by the diligent efforts of the Bookstore Management and all its people, who are making continuous efforts to improve this service and efficiency in the Store. Their efforts have converted a deficit of a year ago into a small excess of income over expenditures, and we are happy to pass this saving along to our customers.

The above decision could not be made until December 31 financial information had been assembled, the books have already been marked with the list price, and will be sold at that price during the coining rush. Students are asked, however, to hold their green sales receipts and turn them in for a cash rebate during the period March 3-14. Rebates will be made at a special counter set up in the tunnel.

Your rights if arrested Editors Note: As an attempt to keep our readers informed of their legal rights the ASP is starting a

series entitle "Your Rights if Arrested." The series has been lifted with permission from a public service pamphlet of the same name.

The purpose of this series is to give you information on your rights—if stopped by a policeman, searched or taken into custody.

The policeman has his job to do. He stands for law and order, liespect him; do not talk back or be disorderly.

It is a crime to resist an officer who arrests you lawfully. If it turns out that you have been arrested unlawfully, you may sue the policeman for false arrest.

But remember: your arrest or detention may be lawful even if you are innocent. What is an arrest?

You have been arrested when a policeman or citizen takes you into custody or otherwise substantially deprives you of your freedom of action so that you may be held to answer for a crime.

A warrant for an arrest is an order issued by a court. The policeman having a warrant for your arrest must state that he acts under the _ _ ^ authority of a warrant, and also he must show the warrant, if requested, and give you a chance to read it.

You may be arrested at any time of the day or night by a pliceman who possesses a warrant to arrest you for a felony, the more serious type of crime. However, if the warrant is for a misdemeanor, the less serious type of crime, you may not be arrested on Sunday or at night unless the warrant says so. Misdemeanors include (for example) common gambling, petit larcenty, simple assault, und disorderly conduct in a public conveyance.

A policeman with an arrest warrant may break open a door or window to guin admittance after has given you notice of his authority and purpose.

Suppose the policeman does NOT luive a WARRANT?

A policeman may arrest you without a warrant in the following situations:

(a) Where he has reasonable cause to believe a crime is being committed or attempted in his presence. This includes felonies, misdemeanors and offenses like a traffic violation or disorderly conduct.

(b) He has reasonable cause to believe that a felony was commit ted and that you committed it, although not in his presence. Felonies include serious c r i m e s s u c h as murder, manslaughter, arson, robbery, assault, burglary, extortion, grand larceny, kidnapping, blackmail and rape.

(c) When he has reaonable

believe that you were arrested by a prive

cause to lawfully person.

When making an arrest without a warrant, the policeman must inform you of the reason for the arrest, unless you are in the act of committing the crime or arc being pursued immediately after an escape. In any arrest without a warrant, if you flee the jurisdiction with a police officer in close pursuit, he may arrest you beyond area limits.

May PRIVATE PERSONS make an ARREST?

This question and others will be answered in next week's installment of Your Rights if Arrested.

Campus revolts siir major universities j

(UPI)-National Guardsmen used tear gas grenades and fixed bayonets to scatter crowds of rebellious student strikers at the University of Wisconsin Thursday. Riot police hurled tear gas canisters to break up a milling crowd of students on the Duke University campus.

On another campus troubled by student revolt - about 150 club-wielding police made repeated sweeps through chan ing, screaming militants at the University of California at Berkeley.

Wisconsin Gov. Warren P. K n o w l e s , who sent 900 Guardsmen onto the Wisconsin campus at Madison early Thursday, called an additional 1200 militiamen to duty at midafternoon in a determined effort to keep the university open for classes.

Negro students seized the main floor of the Duke University administration building and held it for nearly 10 hours, threatening to set school records afire with kerosene if their demands were not met or if police were sent in.

A wild melee broke out on the grassy quadrangel at the center of the campus after the black s t u d e n t s , surrounded and protected by friendly white students, walked out of the building and marched down the main campus street.

Police unleashed canisters of tear, gas at the crowd of about 1000 white students.

Before the Negroes- left the barricaded Duke building in Durham, N.C., the university had issued an ultimatum to them to clear out by 4:30 pm EST and had assembled more than 70 law officers to enforce the order.

It also had announced suspension of all black students in the building and said they would be subject to criminal prosecution if they did not get out at once.

At Berkele" police arrested at least three dozen dissidents in a series of minor scuffles and broke up picket lines trying to block the main campus thoroughfare.

About 1000 students tossed books and firecrackers and taunted officers with chants, catcalls and obscenities. Student lines reformed as quickly as plice marched through them.

More than 75 Negro and Puerto Rican students took over a City College administration building in New York City to enforce demands for recognition of the needs of minority groups.

At Wisconsin, the Guardsmen on the scene Thursday appeared to have succeeded in bringing a semblance of order to the tense campus as they kept dissidents moving and thwarted attempts to block traffic on University Avenue, the school's main stem.

Frosh to nominate new class officers

Nominations for Class Officers opened last week and many people have already picked up their application. In order to acquaint the members of the Freshman Class with the nomination and election process, the Class Guardians, Connie Valis and Tony Casale, have announced that a Class Meeting will be held next Tuesday, February 18th.

The meeting, which will be held in the Ballroom at 7:00 pm will be an informational meeting that will explain how a potential candidate may place his or her name in nomination. It will also explain the function s of the four Class Of f icers--President , Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Nomination forms will

be available for those who would like them. They are also available at the Campus Center Information Desk.

Connie and Tony urge all freshmen to attend even if they do not plan on running so that it may be determined whether or not to hold a campaign rally or candidates' night prior to the election.

Since those people elected will determine the plicies and activities for the Class of '72 for the coming year, it is important for all to attend. According to the Guardians, there are numerous activities such as a Beer Party, Concert, Spring Weekend, and New York City trip in the initial stages which will have to be carried out by the new officers.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

j - "Senate Republicans marshalled their majority strength Wednesday and picked up a few Democrats along the way to pass a bill which would strip, state financial aid from college students convicted of campus disorders.'

•L We feel that this bill is a disgusting display of vindictiveness on the . part of New York State's senators, particulary Senatros Earl W.

Brydges (Rep. Senate Majority Leader) and John E. Flynn, (R-Yonkers) who are the former and present sponsors of the bill. ;,' In essence, it means that the State, with the approval of the Commissioner of Education, can withold money from a student if he expresses his beliefs out of the bounds of the law.

The problem is that it is against these very laws that students protest.

In other words, you may enjoy the Constitutional rights of freedom of speech and assembly as long as you agree with all the ramifications of the laws governing these rights.

If you agree with the way things are going you are safe. If you don't agree, and try to do something, you are "unlawful."

Trying to suppress dissent by threatening to take away money given on academic merit (supposedly) is obviously not an applicable punishment (assuming some form of rightist repression is necessary).

Many of the Democrats in the Senate (a quarter of their minority membership voted in favor of it) also seemed to miss the point in their opposition to the bill.

However, one used the acceptable opposition argument that its passage would penalize only those students who need and receive the state's financial aid. What about those "lawbreaking college students" who do not receive Regents Scholarships or Incentive Awards?

('The rich kooks and the Psychopaths would stay"-Albert E. Lewis, D-Brooklyn).

In addition, there are civil laws which indicate the exact same restrictions for all citizens. Why single out college students and campuses.

Why stipulate that even those New York students who contribute to civil rights efforts in the South may have their awards revoked? It shouldn't borther serene New York if they make their 'trouble' elsewhere.

We cannot see the point of pure punishment without consideration of the factors prompting "lawbreaking."

The bill is obviously purely punitive and must be rejected by the State Assembly.

Meal Plan Victory The relationship between student desires and the practical realities

of the Faculty Student Association, has, in the past, been a somewhat rocky one.

It was, therefore, with great happiness that we received the news of the cooperation between Mr. Robert A. Cooley, director of the i SA, and the student members of the Study Committee on Room and Board. This has led to more varied and equitable meal plans for students next year, contingent on student acceptance of the proposed FSA prices.

This new development with reference to meal plans is a prime example of how student-administration cooperation can lead to a happier solution for all concerned.

Much of the credit must go to Mr. Cooley, and to the members of the committee, who together worked out the details of the plan. The willingness of FSA to respect and act upon the wishes of students is indeed a refreshing development. It points to a fuller understanding of the needs of residents here by the members of FSA.

While lauding the FSA for its willingness to act, we must appreciate the fact that this is also a prime example of how students can get their wishes fulfilled.

By cooperating with LAAC on the poll, we have aided our own cause. The importance of this fact must be realized, and hopefully, greater student cooperation in the future will be forthcoming, since we can now see the results of such cooperation.

The institution of the new meal plans for the 1969-70 year is a victory for all concerned.

Tambourines to Hope The prospect of true understanding, the feeling of oneness, the

realization of identity-these are intangibles, hard to come by in any manner. Yet the production of "Tambourines to Glory" by the Black Theater Wednesday night did achieve those intangibles however fleetingly. The feeling of, for once, understanding and identifying with the black man, not as a black man but simply as a human reacting to situations around him, was achieved in a poignant, warm human experience.

The white spectator identified with the black men and women. He became involved with a story of people, forgetting that his original interest might have stemmed from mere curiosity. He caught a glimpse of a culture different than his own. He tried to comprehend.

Ideally, we on this campus should now be able to move upwards. A foundation has been laid for movement, But, like all foundations, it is only a start, it can so easily be lost, Wednesday night, sincere unity existed; a unity not of any shade or color, but rather a unity of a man trying to understand and appreciate his Brother.

It was a clear and unexpected moment, one to be cherished in memory. But memory alone will get us nowhere. We must now go on, build on a foundation which is based upon understanding to attain a true sense1 of brotherhood,

BI-OCCIDENT by ED SILVER

Kangaroo Court: (colloq.) an unauthorized or irregular court conducted with disregard for or in perversion of legal procedure, as an Irregularly conducted court in a frontier district.-American College Dictionary

Kangaroos: n 1. Albany Police Court Justice M. Trepedino, 2. Albany County District Attorney A. Proskin.

I also wanted to include an American dictionary entry for 'frontier' above. On looking through dictionaries I found definitions highly colored by manifest destiny crap. Since that is not the color of my soul, I must provide my own: A frontier-in American history- is a geographic location where the predominant elements of white Money Power culture have not completely subjugated or annihilated the duskier local civilizations.

Albany, N.Y. is a frontier region of sorts. Here there are quite a number of conflicting cultures of various physical and psychic hues. There is a subtler, indirect annihilation process at work to determine the whitest of the white.

The old Irish Mechanical civilization, long self considered t h e p u r e s t Money-Power conglomerate in town, was recently challenged by what proported the colors of a 'reform' political movement. In the last election the position of County D.A., vital to mechanical order, fell to long, lean, tough, reform-frontiersman Arnold Proskin. Arnold, a law bidding man, had promised to wrest the law from the corrupt politics of the Tyrant and to bring justice finally to the People. Rah. Rah.

Now the man is coming out and showing his stripes. He is proving as contemptuous of law, impartiality, and individual civil liberty as the funky redneck fuzz and their city hall masters.

Monday, February 3, seven people (the majority SUNYA students) were busted for possession ot one ounce of pot and a handful of pep pills. The cops arrived just before 6 am. carrying shotguns and pistols and one wearing a bullet proof vest. Just like the Diary of Anne Frank. They were not Nazis, however, and did not smash down the door. They simply opened it. The little bastards had their own key 1

Bursting in on the seven, dragging some out of bed, the cops came upwith the pot, worth about $10-20, and some pills worth another $10-20. On the strength of this, the kids were handcuffed and led down to p o l i c e h e a d q u a r t e r s for arraignment a few hours later in Police Court.

And as to court procedure, six p l e a d e d g u i l t y to their misdemeanors before Trepedino.

This was a stupid thing to do, but that is what lawyers arc there to clue you about. Under normal circumstances, a judge with some feeling for justice will refuse to even accept a plea by young, unrepresented defendants. That is not the case in this town. Trepedino, fumous for his monosyllable explanations of t r u t h ( s i x - m o n t h s , hang-by-the-neck, etc.) looked at the long hair of the five boys, told them they were "dope fiends" and tossed them in County Jail for psychiatric tests, haircuts, und

a coming Friday sentencing. That was two weeks ago. There

has been no sentencing, yet, four are still in jail today, as . unbelievable as that may seem.

On Friday in court, now represented by a lawyer hired by their friends, they attempted to have the 'guilty' pleas reversed, a normal procedure. The judge invoked a rule used only under the most extreme circumstances, by which plea reversal may be considered only five days after the defendants have informed the D.A.'s office. This is never done in Police Court, but Proskin's Office agreed to it.

Further, the court claimed that psychiatric tests had never been conducted on the five to determine the degree of the 'dope fiendishness' -a lie and so bail was not set and the five went back to jail for another five days, appearing in court again this past Tuesday morning.

At that time they were informed that the rule had not been met since their lawyer had handed the plea to the D.A. a few hours short of five days before the current court appearance. The DA. agreed to this arbitrary shit once again and they went back to jail without bail being set.

Normally in a minor drug case, the defendants are released almost immediately on probation or on

Off Center by M«J> R S I M M I |

low bail to wait for their trial, ln this case several outside influences seemed to converge to hang these kids. First, this U Proskin's first 'big' drug case since he assumed office, Apparently to prove his power as a reformer he is bound to see them convicted but good, regardless of minor problems such as meager evidence that should warrant dropping the charges against most of the defendants.

Second, long hair kids are a irime and to be screwed by the 'law' whenever possible. This has been arbitrary nature of the Albany machine and is apparently included in the prejudices of the new reform D.A.

Hopefu lly, for his psychic well being, Arnold will refrain from busting the SUNYA campus, although rumor has it that such an action might be contemplated by the little man. When he has rounded up all the one ounce criminals he can find, and discovers many of his former student workers, canvassers, and supporters in their number, he might learn something about how the natives keep the wagons a'moving on the old frontier.

The following is fart two of Mi's column continued from last Tuesday's ASP

In fact, leftists, the. Fatah is now forced to recruit (you with your Latin liberation yarmulke, take note) in foreign countries. The Fatah is so popular in Israel that it is forced to recruit at the

Sorbonne, and Berkely, and Antioch.

The Fatah pictures itself as the heir to the FLN, the Viet Cong and Che. The fact is that it is the heir to Hitler. Its leader, Haj-el-Husseini spent World War II in Hitler's Munich drafting Arab mercenaries to liquidate Tito's partisans. Hitler didn't need an ambassador to the Arabs. John Gunther tells us that "Heil Hitler" was the standard greeting in old progressive Araby during the war.

This was when the Jewish Palestinians were dying in the ranks of the Allied Armies.

Thats the story of the glorious Fatah. Unlike the Viet Cong, it can be liquidated. It has no popular support and its raison d'etre is its members desperate yearning to kill Jews and

MU %t/iM Aouxud By

Stu Rothchild

"Time" magazine has called New York City a decaying city. But it doesn't have to decay. A light shining in the dark has arisen to lead this great city to new heights. This light is a man who know's New York's mind and soul.

A man who can turn words into action. A man who moves people. And people are moved by him. That man is the most popular Congressman in New York State, James H. Scheuer of the Bronx, who is seeking the Democratic Party endorsement for Mayor in the June primary.

Rep. Scheuer, a liberal in politics, is a leader of the Democratic reform movement in New York City. Since election to Congress in T964, he has authorized more than his share of important legislation. His concern with the problems of urbanization are a matter of public record.

He is an effective champion of the poor, the young, and our senior citizens. He has fought for increased federal funds to aid education; to train the hard-core unemployed; to keep rent control in effect; to find better ways of reducing and preventing crime and in bettering race relations.

The strong teamwork of Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts in the Senute and Rep. James Scheuer in the House of Representatives, made possible the enactment into law of a National Institute of Criminal Justice to find more effective ways of preventing and detecting crime.

"Rep. Scheuer of the Bronx . . . played a highly useful role" said the "New York Post" in discussing federul aid to education.

The Department of Labor has called the Scheuer program to train the hard-core unemployed "one of the most sophisticated and promising of any manpower program."

Rep. Scheuer is no stranger to housing ills of big cities, having served as Consultant to President

Kennedy on Housing Problems. In addition, he was Chairmar

of the Citizen's Committee for the Preservation of Rent Control, and served for four terms as President of the Citizen's Housing and Planning Council of New York

Better race relations is a constant concern of Rep. Scheuer and he has served as Chairman of the Housing Advisory Council of the New York State Council Against Discrimination.

He sponsored a bill, recently passed by th House, to create a Commission or Negro History and Culture. He c eveloped the first intergrated hoi sing in the nation's capital, served as Consultant to President Kennedy on Human Rights, and served as a member of the Civil Rights Leadership Conference.

He is a member of the House Committee on Education and Labor and has sought to broaden the student aid programs. He authored the Bilingual Education P r o g r a m , which provides instruction in a second language for millions of children from foreign language homes, along with concentrated assistance in English.

"El Tempo," a Puerto Rican oriented newspaper in New York City, has editorialized that, "few districts are as well represented as thoroughly and consciously as the 21st, where young, dynamic James H. Scheuer makes it a full time job . . . despite his intensive activity."

Enough of his legislative accomplishments. What is he like? James Scheuer is a man of independence who courageously |

stands up for what he believes in. He was the first Eastern Congressman to support Senator Eugene McCarthy and is one of a handful of Congressman who consistently opposed the war in Vietnam, rie plays opera

on the harmonica, can speak six languages fluently, including Japenesc. In politics he's a liberal, a leader of the Democratic reform movement in New York City. . . . Enough?

Want to help elect James Scheuer Mayor of N.Y.? Then join the Students For Scheuer at Albany State. Call Stu Rothchild at 472-8896, or drop a note in the ASP office, room 382 in the Campus Center.

"liberate" Palestine from its builders. The overwhelming majority of Palestinians (60* of all Israelis were bom in the Middle East) have already been liberated.

The Israelis are home and at long last. The rapers of Biafra, the Sudan, Yemen and Kurdistan shall not succeed in the destruction of Palestine. The Baghdad butchers of Jews and Kurds will be thwarted. No genuine national movement has ever failed. The Vietnamese, the Biafrans, the Kurds and the Czechs will all prevail. It is no wonder that the starving black in Biafra and the Sudan look to Israel for inspiration. It is no wonder that free men everywhere rejoice at the success of Israel.

The Socialist Workers (read National Socialists) can wallow in their anti-Semitism. They can dabble in liberation while they immers e themselves in racism.

But let them note what one Israeli has written and then let them return to their faulty hate-filled analogies:

"We have no Army, We have no power. We have nothing. But on that bitter day, when we felt everything was closing in on us, we knew that we dare not allow what had always happened to happen again. We decided to fight back. We decided to fight in our houses, in the passages, from street to street and from home to home.

"It would have been impossible to conquer any dwelling in Tel Aviv without killing every man, woman, and child in it. No white flag would have waved on a single roof in Tel Aviv. The price the conquest of Israel was destined to be very high.

"Today the Arabs boast about revolutionary guerilla warfare. They claim that they have transferred Viet Cong methods to the Middle East. They march with :ho picture of Che Guevara. It makes me laugh.

"What is Viet Cong. It is fighting to the last man. The Viet Cong of the Middle East, regardless of whether it is pleasant to those who demonstrate with the picture of Che or not, is Israel. We are prepared, at any moment, to fight the last battle."

Memorize that, leftists.

at ecial attraction

'Golden Eye' FILMS bjr Dam Bonhrall

by Jomi O'Grady The "Oolden Eye" will present

a special attraction this Saturday night in place of its usual Friday performance: "Pageant Players," a member of The Radical Theatre Repertory, Inc. should provide a unique experience in theatre entertainment with one of their very unconventional productions.

The Radical Theatre Repertory, in New York City, is a sort of coordinating center for about twenty different theatre groups covering most of the country, each special iz ing in some r e v o l u t i o n a r y method of expressing the problems of this generation.

The principal concepts behind Radical Theatre are audience involvement, the breakdown of e s t a b l i s h e d b a r r i e r s t o c o m m u n i c a t i o n , and an alternative mode of existence for all. The Living Theatre is one of the more well-known groups connected with this repertory.

The Pageant Players specialize in a type of production known as New York Radical Street Theatre; they are a long-established group, h a v i n g g i v e n o v e r 8 0 0 performances since their initiation in 1964, over half of which were on city streets.

Their aim is to point out some of the more ridiculous aspects and problems of the civilization we have inherited.

The Pageant Players have contracted this production with She "Eye" for less than their usual fee; admission for this week's "Eye" will be 75 cents, with extra donations gratefully accepted.

The per formance is on Saturday, February 15, at 9 pm, but early arrival is encouraged.

For Information on the "Oolden Eye," call Walt Silver at 462-0304.

Committee changes university walls

by Holly Seitz ^ "It's not complete to have

buildings without art work." It's the aim of the Arts Coordinating Committee headed by Mrs. Loh Gregg to remedy the situation of black walls within the University.

As the University settled in its new modernistic campus several concerned faculty members realized that there were little or no provisions for art work. As a result, the Arts Coordinating Committee was appointed by President Evan R. Collins.

Comprised of faculty members and students the Committee tries to provide the University with quality pieces from all realms of art. At present it has been estimated that over 300 pieces have been placed throughout the do rmi to r i e s and Academic buildings.

One of the most recent projects of the group has been the decoration of the recreation room

and snack bar of Brubacher Hall. A mural was hung in the

recreation room which was a result of a "happening" held in conjunction with a program sponsored by the National and New York State Councils on the Arts. Guided by Jack Tworkov, interested students painted an abstract approximately 60 feet in length.

This latest effort joins other projects of the group on the walls of the University. One of the first efforts was the travel poster project.

Mrs, Gregg views the problem of distributing fine art works throughout the school as one almost impossible to finish with the rapid expansion taking place.

The Committee will in the near future undertake a fund-raising campaign. At the present, it is funded by the Faculty Student Association, Alumni and Student groups and outside Foundations.

to judge by the huge turnout that

showed up Wednesday night. Before the play began I noticed

the interesting stage arrangement of four separate platforms roughly describing a trapezoid. Each platform was a different stage setting, so to change scenes, all that had to be done was to dim the lights at one area and raise them at another area.

At the very beginning of the play we were confronted by the Devil and he proposed to us the timeless theme of evil vs. good. The need of money of two women, Essie Belle Johnson and Laura Wright Reed, played by Arlene Porter and Daniel Barton respectively, in New York's Harlem community gave the Devil, disguised as underhanded Buddy Lomax and played by Michael Smith, a field on which to wage his battle against good.

To get the money Laura and Essie start a "church" on a

tambourine as a collection plate. Althought the church was a farce, it grew from the streetcorner to a store front, and finally to a movie theatre, Tambourine Temple. Of course, as the congregation grew, so did the money pile. All the money illegally taken by Buddy's devious moneymaking plans made rich the founders of the churh.

It looked as if Devil Buddy Lomax was going to win, but Laura's guilt surpasses her greed. She finally allowed benevolence to triumph by killing Buddy and taking the blame for the death.

Much credit for success of "Tambourines To Glory" is due to Daniel Barton, who proved himself to be a fine director and actor-he was a superb Laura! Because of circumstances Mr. Barton "pinched-hit" for the role of Laura Wright Reed. This handicap turned out to be an asset and added more humor to an already amusing play.

movie is unnecessarily muddled and banal (a point which might've been clearer if a blue pencil.hadn't excised some of my argument). What I thought was uninspired improvisation now strikes me as uninspired writing and direction. But see "Faces." I'm enough in doubt to concede a Scotch verdict and force myself to a second viewing-but not too soon, not too soon. Quick takes:

"Yellow Submarine"-a visual b a n a n a s p l i t . Del ight fu l , containing some haunting graphic effects, especially in the "Eleanor Rigby" sequence. The movie introduces cerebral European animation techniques to American audiences and may clear the way for importation of many deserving films.

" S h a m e "-Unlike "Persona" and "Hour of the Wolf," (the one employing metaphors of style, the other of content) this latest Bergman exists wholly on the surface-scarcely any metaphor at all. Its theme is grounded in a straightforward human situation; in this sense, it is a regression from "Hour of the Wolf" (which was a regression from "Persona"). Max von Sydow and Liv Ulmann, again as artist and wife, and G u n n a r B jo rns t r and as a b u r e a u c r a t , d isp lay the i r customary grace both solo and ensemble as they enact a drama of war, anguish, and loneliness.

" P i e r r o t le fou"--Godard simultaneously saying farewell to h i s p e r i o d of d i s sonan t romanticism (a la "Band of Outsiders")

Because of student teaching, several chores, and frustration over past injudicious cutting of these columns, this is my last article for the ASP. Many thanks to those who took me seriously enough to praise or to curse. To all a final plea: watch lots of movies. See anything by Renoir, Truffaut, Antonioni, Bergman, Bunuel , Godard , Hitchcock, Resnais, Kurosawa, Welles, Penn, Kubrick, and Satajit Ray. See a n y t h i n g f r o m P o l a n d , Czechoslovakia, India, France, or Scandinavia. On second thought, t ry to see everything from everywhere . This column's premise has been that film is the most varied, interesting, and valuable art form today; find out if you agree. See you in "suppression."

An empty pool has been the rule and not the exception at Albany State—at least when it comes to the men's swimming club.

The sport, instituted two years ago when present Athletic Director, Alfred Werner, came to Albany, has found recruiting permanent members difficult.

Swimming was the topic of a two-hnur discussion this past Wednesday afternoon between members of the swim team, students, and Dr. Werner. Under discussion was the future of the struggling sport and what could be done to give it the necessary "shot in the arm."

It has been seen from viewing other universities that there are three essentials for a good swimming program. The first is a good facility.

By popular acclamation, Albany's pool is oneof the best in

upstate New York.^t is known a m o n g enthusiasts as an "extremely fast pool."

The relative low calibre of eastern swimming affords Albany the chance to establish itself as a powerhouse in the sport as no other sport at Albany, including basketball and lacrosse, can. It's rise to the upper, echelon of eastern swimming is a relatively short and easy one.

The second essential ingredient is superior coaching. Albany has that in Brian V. Kelly. Kelly is an alumnus of Big Ten swimming and coached in that conference. He has commanded the respect of his men since the early days of the formation of the club.

The third, and in many ways most crucial, ingredient is the swimmers to win meets. Numbers has been the main problem of Caoch Kelly from the beginning.

Board in" 1967 as a club to be raised to varsity status when it was deemed ready, the swim dub first swam at the Albany Public Bath on Central Avenue two nights each week. Because of the inconvenience of practicing off campus, the turnout was low.

Turnouts for the team continued to be low despite the move to the new campus facility last spring. More than once, swimmers had to triple in events, that is swim in three races—this is unheard of at most schools and is n o t c o n d u c i v e to good performances.

Despite these drawbacks, the handful of swimmers have continued to set new pool and t e a m r e c o r d s in e v e r y competition. Although coming close to victory in several meets, the necessity of forfeiting up to t h i r t y points (for lack of swimmers) was fatal.

At Wednesday's meeting, it was the feelingof the club members that their lack of numbers may be because of lack of incentive. Swimming, a largely individual sport, takes much dedication and demands rewards.

At present, the team felt, there is no incentive to go out and stay out for the team because there are few rewards. To solve this problem, the team requested that Dr. Werner urge the Athletic Advisory Board to ignore precedent and make the struggling club a varsity sport as soon as possible, in the hopes that this will give it the necessary boost.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The swim club's proposal seems worth a try to this observe and we urge the Board to give the swimmers a chance. It's obvious that the present method is failing. What can we lose?

BEAT SIENA

Great Danes Down Ithaca 73 -66 Victory Is No. 11

The Danea came out in the- It was evident ifom the outset second half with the same game plan, but the Bombers changed their defense to a pressing zone. After a cold shooting spell abated, the Danes quickly caught up and went ahead to stay 63-51 at 10:40 left in the game.

With a twelve point lead and :40 seconds to go, Coach Sauers emptied his bench—the game was over. The buzzer sounded as the scoreboard registered a 73-66 Albany triumph.

Contributing greatly to the victory were subs Ed Arsenau and Jim Sandy. Sandy scored eight points, several in key moments. Arsenau, although not scoring, was a tiger on defense and caused several Ithaca turnovers.

For the first time this season, five Albany players were in double figures. Jim Caverly and

i Jack Adams scored ten each. Jack Jordan had fourteen markers. Scott Price had fifteen points and Rich Margison had sixteen.

Margison, hitting well under his average of twenty-one points per game, was double teamed all night by the Ithacans, but turned in a fine performance on defense—not to mention the sateen markers.

of Wednesday's State-Ithaca game t h a t t h e r e was something different, something important about this particular occasion.

The biggest crowd of the season sensed it when they were handed song sheets as they came in the doors of the State gym. Albany had a ten game winning streak and was hoping for an NCAA tournament bid.

This very Ithaca club had spoiled a fourteen game streak last year and their recent play pointed to another similar performance.

The blue and gold Bombers held a decided height advantage with 6-5 All-America candidate Greg Albano and 6-3 Ed Kowalski up front for them. The opening tap saw Jack Adams score for Albany on a driving layup.

From there, the lead changed hands throughout the half until Ithaca held a slim 35-33 edge at the half.

Albano scored time after time from in close for the Bombers and proved his all-star status. A big disappointment for Ithaca had to be the sloppy play of Kowalski as he picked up three quick fouls and was forced to the bench.

Jim Caverly, senior forward from Rochester, broke an Albany State record during the game as he contributed nine assists. The'old mark was set two years ago by Mike Bloom ('67) who had eight in a single game.

Albany was beaten under the b o a r d s a s t h e y w e r e out-rebounded by the taller team, 45-38. The formula for victory was what seemed to be the best "team" effort to date. The Danes shot a solid 27 for 57 from the floor for a 47% mark.

The Danes will take on their t rad i t ional rivals, the Siena Indians, tongiht at the Troy High School.

AMI A Bowling

State - Siena Tonight Tonight's game against Siena College of Loudonville will be the

twenty-fifth meeting of the Great Danes and their local rivals. Always a game in which past records and statistics mean little or nothing, a win for State could insure a well deserved NCAA regional tournament bid. Beyond this, even, no Albany basketball fan, alumnus or student would consider the season a success without the sweet feeling of a victory over their arch-rival.

The Indians hold a slim 11-13 edge in games in the series, but this is due to, largely, their performances against the old Teachers' College of the 1930-60 variety. In those days, the Indians were nationally ranked and took a victory over the "Teachers" as a matter of course.

The first State-Siena contest was held in 1934 with Siena on the winning end of the score. They went on to win the next five straight games against Albany and, in fact, State did not win against Siena until Coach "Doc" Sauers arrived on the scene in 1956. After losing his first encounter that year, Sauers upset a strong Siena club, 62-46.

Albany has won the last four outings against the Indians. They won 59-58 in this year's Capital City Tournament Championship game. Before that they had beaten Siena 76-75, 79-72, and 69-62 in the 1967 Tournament final. In fact, State has met Siena for the City Tournament championship six out of the eight years that the tourney has been played. State, Rensselaer Poly, and Union—will take part in the Christmas tournament.)

Albany State's hardcourters are riding the crest of an eleven-game win streak with their most recent win being over Ithaca College, 73-66. Siena lost its most recent outing, 82-79 to Marist College of Poughkeepsie. The Indians are 8-9 on the year.

Again, as has happened all season long, State will be at a height disadvantage. Siena has a pair of 6-7 men up front in Tom Sheridan and Bob Herman. Herman, along with Tom Walsh are the leading scorers for Siena. Siena will average 6-5, while State will start a team averaging about 6-0. Siena is the tallest team State has had to face thus far this season.

EDITOR'S NOTE: As has already been said, forgetting statistics and records, the State-Siena game could only turn out any one of two ways: State could win, or Siena could win-but the latter doesn't seem either appealing or probable.

The Choppers took the AMI A League I bowling title for the first semester by defeating the Shafts in a play-off series.

The Choppers took the play-off series, 945-809.

Going into the final game of the season, the Choppers had a two game lead over the shafts. However, the Shafts, who are the league's highest scoring team, took three out of the four games in the final match to force the championship into a play-off match.

The championship shaped up all season as a battle between these two teams, as their closest rival finished 10 games back.

The Shafts set a season record by rolling 1028 for a single team effort. They also took team honors with a three-game total of 2911.

The Shafts made a clean sweep of all the scoring honors as Al Giles took the individual title. Giles had a season's average of 184.3, barely boating out Ron Romano for the title. Romano's average was 182.6.

Giles also set a record for a

three-game series at the Campus lanes, when he rolled a 743 series on December 7. One of this games in that series was 267, which was the high single game of the season.

Only three other bowlers rolled better than 600 series last season. Nick Meister had a 615 series and Bob Eichhorn and Royce Van Evera each had 606 series to round out the individual high scoring.

The teams have already started bowling to decide the winner of the second semester title. The champion of the second semester will meet the Choppers at the end of April, to determine the year's championship title.

The final team standings are: WON LOST

record should fall this Saturday, owing to the vast improvement of the squad.

Ronnie Sharp holds three of the existing club records, in the 100 yard individual medley relay, the 50 yard butterfly, and the 100 yard breast stroke events. Ellen VanNortwick holds two records, in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle.

Other records are Alice Allard in the 50 yard back stroke, Cathy O'Connor in the 100 yard back stroke, Ann Rohrbach (no longer swimming) in the 50 yard breast stroke, and Karen Hoffman in the grueling 200 yard freestyle.

The two relay team records, in the 200 yard medley relay (Allard, Galloway, Sharp, and Vecchi ) and the 200 yard freestyle relay (Vecchi, Allard, Hoffman, and VanNortwick) will be up for brabs also this Saturday.

After Saturday's meet with Harpur, the Dane swimmers will meet Connecticut College for Women (New London) on February 24. Following this, they will travel to Brockport State to swim in the State Invitational Tournament.

Hopes are high that Albany can finish undefea ted in dual competition and go in to the State meet with a clear chance for all-out victory.

SIDELIGHT: Miss Forrest, it has been learned, once coached the Bermuda swim team in the Pan-American games. She also participated in the Olympic trials some years ago.

Meal plans announced for fall students offered five choices

Robert Cooley, Director of Faculty Student Association, this week announced the meal plan options that students will be able to choose from for the academic year 1969-1970. There are basically five plans, two of which offer the Kosher option. Unlike past years, students will be able to sign up for meals on either a semester or year basis.

The following is a list of meal plans to be offered: 1. 20 meals $310 semester,$620 year 20 Kosher meals $380 semester,$780 year 2 .14 meals $250 semester,$500 year 14 Kosher meals $315 semester,$630 year 3. 13 meals (6 lunches-7 dinners ) . , . . . ' $280 semester,$560year 4. 7 meals (Dinner only ) ^ \ . ~ $225 semester,$450 year 5. 5 meals (Lunches only ) .* $80 semester,$ 160 year

In issuing the five choices of meal plans, Food Service announced that they were discontinuing the offering of second servings. They have also reserved the right to change the prices on the above plans at the semester break if financial studies, show that the pricing is inadequate. Revision might be necessary in view of unknowns in the five plans, such as missed meal factors, etc. Mr. Cooley also announced that prices on Kosher meals would have to be increased because "present charges do not begin to cover our cost."

Many students expressed a desire to see a 14 meal plan allowing a choice of any two meals each day. According to Mr. Cooley this could not be implemented because lunches are so much more expensive.

Also, any student who, because of class conflicts, has less that half an hour to eat, may get a pass to eat at the Campus Center. Class cards, student IDs and meal cards should be brought tb the Housing Office. Mr. Cooley added a note of caution. This year LAAC requested Food Service to provide prices on seven meal plans. Food Service came up with five plans which they felt would "cover the needs of all students." If these plans fail to meet student needs, however, next year they may be requested to price ten plans and thus necessitate a straight cash or modified cash form of food service.

Faculty Senate act counters NY Sen ate

The Faculty Senate of the University in an expression of opposition to the State Senate bill (S524) affecting eligibility of students for financial assistance, is urging members of the Assembly of New York State Legislature to defeat the bill.

(The bill as passed by the Assembly is appended at the end of this article.)

In action taken at a special meeting Tuesday afternoon, the faculty body adopted a motion pointing to what it described as a basic defect in the measure; namely, "that it represents a punitive rather than a constructive approach to the problems occasioned by the expression of dissent in a free society."

Indicating that it shares the concern for resolving problems which sometimes arise from expressed dissent, the Faculty Senate gave five reasons for its opposition to the bill.

The measure would rescind, on grounds of legal offense, financial aid originally awarded for academic promise; would infringe upon the right of universities to govern themselves in academic affairs since it would mandate that university officials implement its provisions and prescribe a criterion for administration of scholarships; would discriminate against economically disadvantaged students since it would threaten only those students whose need requires them to use scholarship aid; and would subject students to more extreme penalities than others who come into conflict with the law.

The motion stated that the measure is ambiguous and its enforcement could involve universities in endless conflicts with students, since the offenses requiring action are so broadly defined in the measure.

A copy of the motion approved by the 66-member body- was delivered Wednesday by J. Ralph Tibbetts, vice president of the Faculty Senate, to the office of the Speaker of the Assembly, Perry B. Duryea, and to the Clerk of the Assembly.

On Wednesday, February 12, 1969, the New York State Senate by vote of 38 to 15 passed the following bill:

"To amend the education law, • 0 ^ 1 1 * 1 1 - » 1 1 m relation to eligibility for viUUIlvll scholarships, scholar incentive Atinnoacj programs and state and federal OUpOSCS aid. The People of the State of

New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: 'riot bill'

by Norm Rich

Last night Central Council made emphatic its positionon the State Riot Bill presently pending in the New York State Assembly. In a forceful position statement Council condemned the riot bill on a multitude of grounds.

The bill, contended Council, would attempt "to violate basic rights 'and liberties" of' the s t u d e n t . Specifically Council asserted that the bill seeks to regulate-conduct, a role now set aside for the university. In doing so the State would turn state aid in to a punitive instrument, maligning its intended function of fostering higher education.

Secondly Council noted that the bill does not discriminate between minor and major crimes. Thus a student convicted of a misdemeanor would suffer "cruel and unusual punishment", being reprimanded in the usual manner-by the Penal Code, and theft facing the additional loss of his scholarship.

Hence, for the above and numerous other reasons, the position statement passed Council by u vote of 24-0. It was then distributed to all local media in the hopes of having some direct affect upon the Assembly.

Also, Vic Looper announced in his report to Council that LAAC has proposed two fundamental changes in university living regulations. Taking the form of a bill, LAAC has recommended that
