Saturday night, Potsdam stole the
show, captured ihe lillc, and advanced to nexi week's national
quarterfinals with their 87-72 victory. The Beats (26-3) also put an
end to Albany's playoff hopes, and
left ihe Danes a 21-6 record, but a
disappointing finale to an otherwise
outstanding campaign.

P O T S D A M — l l was to be the final
confrontation between Albany and
Potsdam. They had met twice
before this season — each scored
two-point victories on the other's
home court — but this time, the

At first, the Danes didn't seem

" W h a t they're doing, in effect, is
staffing the place with professors,"
said O'Leary. '
According lo Haffner, arguments
such as I he one presented by
O'Leary are a "really silly way of
looking at i t . "
" T h e hospital was being planned
as early as 1970," said Haffner. " I t
was created as an important component to the Stony Brook Medical
School. But people think that since

" I l is unfortunate the hospital is

Tactics
PARIS (AP) The Soviet Union has deployed'launching
ramps for tactical nuclear missiles In Afghanistan and has
brought In iroops trained in chemical and germ warfare, a
French newspaper said today. The newspaper Quolidicn dc
Paris cited "totally reliable, authorized Western military
sources" as saying the Soviets had installed "many mobile,
self-propelled launching ramps for nuclear missiles" in the
Kabul, Bagram and Kandahar regions. The newspaper said
the installations might be for Frog of Scud missiles with a
range of about 90 miles. It did not say whether any of
missiles had been deployed. The newspaper alsi claimed il
had confirmation of the presense in Afghanistan of special
Soviet units trained in chemical and bacteriological warfare, and noted that warheads containing chemical or germ
warfare canisters could be used on Frog or Scud missiles. Il
claimed that some gas was believed to have been used " l o
secure vast zones crossed by Soviet .convoys." The
newspaper said the nuclear and chemical warfare iinils had
been deployed because of basic Soviet military tactics calling for three linked factors: surprise, speed of Inlcrventior
and the use of all components of the armed forces.

Ted Kennedy: Politics On The Run
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Sen. Edward
Kennedy, fresh from viciory in the
ruTtion's first big-stale primary,
lashed out 'Wednesday at President
Carter'.s handling of a "major
foreign policy gaffe" involving
Israeli settlements.
Kennedy sported a wide grin after
• his landslide trouncing of Carter in
Massachusetts on Tuesday, and
pulled his campaign wagon into
Albany lo set up shop for New
York Slate's March 25 primary. He
was greeicd by a large and enthusiastic crowd of admirers and
autograph-seekers al Ihe major
stale office complex downlown.
And lie seemed fully aware that
Israel is always an important issue
in New York's Democratic primary,
with its heavy Jewish vole.
He said that U.S. "influence,
prestige and credibility" had been
hurt by President Carter's change
of signals on a Uniied Nations
resolution on Israeli settlements.
That switch had already been
considered likely to embarrass
Carter in New York, and Kennedy
wailed I'or reporters to ask about il
rather than raising ii himself.
The Carter administration, which
first voted for and then repudiated
a U.N. resolution condemning
Israeli settlements in occupied Arab
lands, attributed the switch to faulty communications in the Slate
Department.
Kennedy prefaced his remarks lo
reporters by saying he "would not
Twas The Week Before Ted
But Where Should He Go?
by I.aura Fiorenlino
"This is such a warm reception I
feel as if I were back in
Massachusetts. With your help and
support we can put a real Democrat
in office."
Abruptly as it began, it was all
over. Presidential hopeful Edward
Kennedy was whisked Ihrough Ihc
Empire Slate Plaza exit doors by
Secret Service agents, while an anxious crowd of 4,000 crushed
behind. For the supporters, state
employees, and passers-by who had
waited for almost an hour for a
glimpse of a handshake, Kennedy's
Wednesday morning Albany appearance was most disappointing.
Security, according lo Empire
Nuke Debate:
by Susan Million
The pros and cons of nuclear
power were formally debated by
physicists Or, Bernard Cohen and
John Culro before a crowd of 350
Wednesday night. Yet, ihe main
confrontation of the evening oceured between Cohen and antinuke-minded students after the
debate's conclusion.
In the debate, sponsored by
Speakers Forum and NYPIKCi,
University of Pittsburgh professor
Bernard Cohen supported his promiclear stand by hailing nuclear
power as the safest, cleanest, and
cheapest energy source available.
According to Cohen, "There is
no known study with a contrary
conclusion that nuclear power is
safe." Cohen cited death tolls and
decreased life expectancy figures
resulting from other energy sources.
He claimed such factors as "being
poor" and "being less educated"
were far more serious than nuclear
related fatalities.
Slate P l a z a M a n a g e r T o m
Cliristenscn, was the reason Tor Kennedy's swift exit.
"Because of the large crowd, Ihe
Secrel Service was concerned about
safely," he snid.
Originally, Kennedy's speech was
lo take place in Ihe Plaza's Green
Room Cafeteria,. According to
Christcnscn, however, the unexpectedly large crowd rendered the
facility inadequate.
"We expected only two or three
hundred people lo show, bul when
a large crowd developed we thought
il would be loo dangerous for him
to slay in Ihe cafeteria," said
Christcnscn. "Flic affair was'movcontinued on page seven.
And he added that "I think the
vote itself was a major foreign
policy gaffe . . . The gaffe has been
complicated by the reversal of the
administration."
"Unjustified, unwarranted and
uncalled for," he wcnl on. "This
kind of thing makes our adversaries
more aggressive."

Cohen claimed nuclear power to
be the cleanest form of energy pointing out the absence of dirt and

He also promoted atomic energy
as the least expensive energy source,
stating cost figures of 1.8 cents per
kilowatt-hour using nuclear energy,
2.4 cents per kilowatt-hour for oil.
Cohen failed lo mention disposal
of nuclear wastes and the possibility
of solar, hydro, and wood power as

Fair Rents Group
Meets With Mayor
by Lillian IVni'Mill
Seeking to establish rent control,
the Albany Coalition for Fair Rents
met with Albany Mayor Erastus
Corning Wednesday.
Due to the recent competitive
rent market in Albany, community
residents and those witli limited incomes are being forced to move
elsewhere. The Coalition, composed of tenants and homeowners, explained to Coming Ihe need to control rem prices.
Coalition member said some
landlords, are ini :aslng rei I to
"cash in" on tlte middle class as
they rclurn lo Ihe cily, and arc nol
concerned with inflation.
Coalition member Tim Ledwith,
active in both SUNYA's Off Campus Association and Ihe United
Tenants of Albany, said that
"actual owner's costs don't go up
100 percent al a lime. Hut in many
eases people have told us about,

Secretary of State Cyrus Vance on

But he said he "welcomed" Congressional hearings which would
"get the full story."
__
and the nation's longest serving bigcity mayor, said he has " a great
deal of respect" for Kennedy and
that they had talked "about mutual
friends."
Kennedy described the meeting as
"friendly." But it was with the
large Empire State Plaza crowd that
Kennedy appeared to be most at
home. He reached across the heads
of towering Secret Service agents to
touch hands as supporters yelled
"Teddy, Teddy!"
"1 got his autograph!" one
woman shouted to a friend.
"The polls only closed about 13
hours ago in Massachusetts and

rents do."
Mayor Corning promised to investigate the rent hikes, and said he
would meet with the Coalition
again before the month was over.
According to Ledwith, students
as well as cily residents would
benefit from the recent control
plan. He said that rent gouging of
students is "incredible" because
they subdivide • apartments. The
Coalition claims thai the plan, officially known as ihe Emergency
fcnanl Protection Act, would
establish maximum renis that
would guarantee "a fair profit for
owners over and above their investment and operating costs."
The act also offers built-in
motivation for landlords lo obey
housing regulations because
e s t a b l i s h i n g maximum real
maintenance of property as well as
owner costs would be considered.

Reading lo complaints from
lower residents and seeking lo improve their initial anti-vandalism
policy, Colonial Quad staff and concerned students have altered their
clevalor-protcclion program.
After two consecutive meetings
held Monday and Wednesday
nights, Livingston Tower Council,
Colonial Quad Board, and Tower
Director Dave Render voted to shut
down two out of three elevators
Thursday through Saturday nights,
from II p.m. to 7 a.m. These hours
are considered Ihe peak time for
vandalism 10 occur.
In addition, the one elevator
which will remain in service will not
be repaired while Ihc olher two will
possibly undergo extensive repairs
in an atlempt to "vandal-proof"
them, according to Quad Board
President Mark Baldwin.
Last week, lower residents were
confronted with the elevator policy
without whal many believe to be
proper notification. Although the
original policy was lo be similar to
ihc current one, (two of the three
elevators were shut down at 8 p.m.
each day and were back in service at
seven the following morning) many
students complained of inconvenience.
According lo Baldwin, with ihe
new policy, whether vandalism occurs or not, lite elevators will con-
tinue lo run. He added that the
quad is going lo request from Ihc
Plant Department durable equipment for the two elevators to be
repaired. Baldwin said Ihe elevators
were not repaired properly Ihe first
lime around.
According to Render, "Wc were
under ihe impression thai the
elevators were lo be made more
vandal-proof when they were refurbished." The elevators suffered extensive damage, which included the
removal of ceiling and lighting
panels.
Regarding student complaints,
Render admitted that residents did
not receive enough advance notice
about Ihe policy implementation. In
addition, while the doors of the two
elevators were to remain closed,
they were open on the first floor at
the time of the policy's inception.
Quad Relation Vice President
Becky Tunic attributed this lo Ihe
lack of a key which would have
locked the elevators.
According to Assistant Director
of Residence Management John
Murphy, a "night host" program
has been created in an attempt to
combat Ihe growing vandalism on
Stale and Colonial Quads. Sponsored by a grant from the Quality of
Life Committee, which seeks to
reduce dorm and hall vandalism,
the program will employ 10
SUNYA students to act as guards
on Ihe quads from 10:15 p.m. to
3:45 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.
Murphy, who developed the program, said three students will be
assigned lo each quad each night,
with one guarding the tower and the
olher two being responsible for four
low-rise apiece. Each student will
be asked to tour the dorms continually, watching out for any type
of mischief or possible vandalism.
In addition, they will be responsible
for locking doors ad related activity.
The female and male hosts, who
will receive three dollars per hour,
will have access to telephones and
assistance from dorm directors and
RAs if any problems arise.

Students Call Buses Unreliable;
Stevens Says Running Smoothly
by Andrew Carroll
Off-campus and Alumni Quad
residents continue to complain
about the University's bus service,
despite claims by Plant Director
Dennis Stevens that the buses are
running smoothly.
Many students arc particularly
concerned about bus scheduling.
In a memo released late in
January, Stevens and Student Affairs Dean Neil Brown warned that
budgetary restrictions and the
threat of driver illness would
hamper the efficiency of Ihe buses.
Adaptations of .'he bus schedule
were promised in that memo, and
SUNYA P r e s i d e n t Vincent
O'I.eary granted the use of limited
overtime funding for the bus
system.
But one month later, Stevens said
Budget
Teach-in
Increases
Awareness
by David A. Proujan
Informing the University community about Governor Hugh
Carey's proposed budget cuts in the
SUNY system was the major topic
of a day-long "budget teach-in"
Tuesday.
Based in '.be Campus Tenter
Fireside Lounge, the SASU/UUP
sponsored teach-in outlined short
and Jong term results of the cuts
SUNY-wide. Emphasis was placed
on measures to take to stop Carey's
actions.
Teach-in organizers reminded
people that Carey has imposed
budget cuts in SUNY over the past
'ive years. Carey's proposed
•J80-81 budget is asking Tor a S26.3
lillion decrease in SUNY expenitures. SUNY's base budget must
be decreased by SI2.3 million while
514 million is being eliminated for
purposes of reexamination.
An expected 2200 position cut in
•taff may result in the elimination
if close to 100 academic departments. SUNY campuses may also
be eliminated •
The teach-in served to point out
'iat while this budget cut is possibly
urting the quality of SUNY educaon, state spending is being raised
y almost $600 million. Teach-in atndants questioned the reason for
I U N Y being treated as a
mreaucratic department rather
than an educational institution.
In addition, people learned that
Syracuse University, a private institution, is receiving $15 million in
state aid funds to build a domed
athletic stadium.
SA President Lisa Ncwmark, addressing the problems imposed by
the budget said she met with
University Council last week to'request assistance in stopping the
cuts. According to Newmark, the
Council claimed it could do
nothing. She said she could "really
see that wc are all pawns and it's infuriating.
"I hope that you're all as angry
and frus'trated as I am," she added.
"The teach-in also instructed
students and faculty on ways they
could individually stop the budget
cuts. Making appointments with
slate senators and parents writing
letters lo Carey and senators, are
among some suggested procedures.
that the buses had yet to miss a connection and were running on time.
"Because of the use of overtimes
and the fact that we haven't been
plagued with sickness, we've been
running on full schedule," he said.
In the same breath though,
Stevens warned that the situation
might not go on forever. Citing Ihe
ever-increasing number of students
living off-campus and the high
prices of gasoline, Stevens estimates
thai bus usage is up 20 percent over
the same time period last year,
while Ihe resources available lo
operate the buses have not increased at all.
Students arc apparently feeling
the increase. "Wc gel squeezed in
ihere," said Rila Rasmussen, a
junior living on Alumni Quad.
"Buses will pass you at a stop
without even slowing down, just
stuffed wilh people. Sometimes six
will pass you by." That is a common complaint of bus users, and
many blame the scheduling, not
lack of buses or manpower.
"The buses may be running on
the schedule, but that doesn't mean
the crowds will be less," says
sophomore Tracey Toback, of
A l m u n i ' s Waterbury Hall.
"Schedules just don't fit class
limes. There are loo few buses running lo handle Ihe peak times for
going uptown, or coming back

Students agree lhat those "peak

The Russians have virtually taken
over the major city of Jalalabad
and the capital, Kabul. They patrol
the country roads in heavy armored
vehicles. Their helicopter gunships
keep watch over the rough Afghan
terrain.
The country's leftist president
Amin, assassinated in September,
has been replaced by Babrak Karmal, n Soviet puppet ruler.
Rebels and former villagers live
under boulders in the countryside,
riiey have been forced out of their
homes by Russian air raids.
And in an apartment on a quiet
sheet In Albany, an Afghan
Moslem sits jn a comfortable chair,
his back to the sunlight that pours
through the window, lie sips his tea
and calmly tells me the Soviets can-
not take Afghanistan, will never

He is calling himself Ahmad today, a name as common in central
Asia as the name John is in the
West. It's pronounced with a gutIcral oivthc " H " . He docs not use
his real name because he fears for
his life. He says the KGB gets
around.
"This government, Ibis party
can't rule," he says. "In order lo
conquer the whole country* the
Soviets must go lo the countryside." That countryside, in the
mountainous central region of the
couuii y, was the scene of three wars
against the British. Ahmad says
proudly lhal ihe British were repelled each lime; In "in 18-42, IK7K, and

He places a world atlas on the

This region, he explains, was
once made up of several different
countries. Within them live about
35 different ethnic groups with
names Westerners seldom hear; the
Pashtuns, the Bcluchis, the Uzbeks,
and many others. The racial and
tribal tics spill over into the Soviet
Union.
"In Iran, Afghanistan, and the
Soviet Union, we have the same
people," he says. "Most of them,
are related," Ami most of them are
Moslems.
But relations among the countries
in which these Moslems live arc
generally poor. Ahmad admits thai
relations between India and
Pakistan are downright lousy. The
British divided them into two countries in 1947, and they have fought
three wars with each other since
then.
In Ah Iliad's eyes, a Soviet threat
can serve lo unify Moslems of differing factions and nations.
"If ihey were faced with fighting
a Moslem and a Russian, they
would fight a Russian," he says.

from which they can hit Iran and

thing. He claims the Soviets want
Ihe ability to blockade the Strait of
Hormuz; through that strait must
pass most of the world's oil,.
- And he says the Russians covet
these things in the name of the people. "The Marxists say Marxism is
the true representative of the
w o r k e r s . Most p e o p l e a r e
workers." But Ahmad is quick to
mention that the merchants who
closed down their shops in protest
of the Russian presence were
workers. Most of them were Shlite
Moslems. Many of them were executed.
The executions, the bombings,
the helicopter raids; Ahmad sec";
them as part of a Soviet escalation.
"The Soviets are escalating," he
says, "but they miscalculated. In
conventional war, you have two armies on opposite sides. In a guerrilla war, you don't know who the
enemies are, where they are, or
where they are striking. You are
shooting in ihe dark. Unless ihey
(the. Russians) deploy half a million
soldiers and stand guard, they can't
control the country. They can only
gel targets they see: actual movement. Even wilh llghl security control, rebels manage to get into the
cities." He is sure that Russian action, with a hundred thousand or
half a million iroops, won't
discourage Islamic independence.
The Russians will finally give up
trying.
"la a couple of months, Russia
will become so ho red and
frustrated, 1 think it will be a good
time for a political solution. The
Russians will come to think it's not
going to work. They will be ready lo
talk." And what they will want to
talk about is peace. That peace will
require a representative of a single
Afghan
government
as a
negotiator. Such a government will
lake the form of a coalition, unifying about fifteen Afghan factions.
"1 know that coalitions are shaky
governments," Ahmad admits. "It
would have to be a federal type of
government, not centralized. It
would have to follow for regional
autonomy."
That's because the Moslems are
fiercely independent. As rebels,,
even the Mujahadeen cannot be
called partisans; they are more loyal
to tribal and religious ties than to
any government.
Past Afghan governments have
been unstable, presidents have been
assassinated. Government ministers
have been purged and jailed.
So who will the Soviets talk lo?
Ahmad is certain u won't be Karmal, whose picture is plastered on
every home and shop wall.
"Karmal is a statue of a foreign
power. I'm sure that in six months
or so, he will be assassinated. Then
a political negotiation will follow."
"It will involve the U.S., Iran,
India, Pakistan, and the USSR."

SUNYA Veterans Face Apathy
by Lynn Goldberg
Reacting to what that consider to
be serious intei lal problems, student members of SUNYA's
Veteran's Administration (V.A)
met Wednesday to voice their
grievances.
Meeting in Campus Center's
Fireside Lounge, two veterans complained of student apathy generated
by the Administration. According
to student veteran Jim Lfenahan,
"The apathy shown by the students
is just a reaction to the apathy they
encounter by the Administration."
Lanahan sees the turnout as an illustration of the disillusionment
that the veterans ff?l with the V.A.

Under the provisions of the bill,
veterans receive checks for thirtysix months while studying for a

from the V.A. office. "Usually,
there isn't anyone in the office to

old run-around." He said there are
many veterans with problems, but
they are " t u r n e d off the
bureaucracy and red tape."
Pryor said he has office hours all

part of the week. Students may also
get direct help from the New York

been blamed for the Kennedy housing problems.
According to Albany Student
Union member Kathy Nussbaum,
use of the Campus Center ballroom
was eliminated as a possibility
because of a crafts Ilea market
scheduled for Wednesday by
Telethon '80.
Telethon Co-Chair Rhonda Scxcr
claims that although the ballroom
had been reserved, she would have
been willing to work oul an agreement by which the proposed speech
mighl have been held.
According lo Scxcr, only eight of
a scheduled 15 vendors actually appeared. They did not use the
ballroom. However, SA Vice President Tito Martinez said that
Telethon '80 Co-Chair Stuart
Gruskin lold him last Thursday that
Il was "loo late to call off the flea
market and loo laic lo contact the
merchants."
Use of University Gym was also
ruled oul due lo ihe difficulty of
cancelling physical education
classes on short notice. SUNYA
Physical Education Coordinator
William A. Scliieffelin claims he
was contacted 4 or 5 days before
Kennedy was scheduled lo visit.
This, he said, constituted insufficient lime lo notify insiructors and
students of class changes. Schieflelin said, "If sve had more advance
notice we could have explored die
situation further," he said.
However, Scliieffelin stressed
that if a pressing need for the
Physical Education Building had
been established, he would have
reconsidered. No one approached
him beyond an initial request, he
said.
Page Hall and Albany Lasv
School were disqualified due lo the
insufficient capacity of the
facilities.
According to Nussbaum, the
Campus Center balcony and ihe
SUNYA podium were the only
areas lefl to be said suggested to
Kennedy
headquarters
as
possibilities for an on-campus appearance. However, Secret Service
personnel would not accept cither
of these local ions because of the
'security risks involved, said
• Nussbaum.
According to SUNYA student
and Kennedy campaigner Steve
Coplon, further problems ensued
when Kennedy's advance team,
responsible for his public campaigning, took the candidate's
Albany scheduling away from
SUNYA.
Publicity resulting from the .
downtown distribution of leaflets
announcing Kennedy's visit yielded
a crowd of greater than expected
size Wednesday. This, said Coplon,
was the reason for the exceptional
brevity of Kennedy's speech.
Kennedy's advance team personnel and Albuny headquarters chief
were unavailable for comment.

the image of God-Man. This is why it is said
in Genesis thai God crealed 'man [as

Adam' (5:1). ('Adam' is Hebrew lor 'man'.) In
true marriage, the two halves become one

Gold also stressed the necessity of
competent advisement on the part
of professors. "Too many students
go through four years of screw-ups
in advisement and we're aiming to
improve that record," she added.
Recommendations are currently
under subcommittee consideration.
If approved by CPCA as a whole,
the proposal will be brought before
the University Senate in April. According to Bcrger, however, changing the existing criteria is a "long,

All will negotiate with Afghanistan,
but the new government will be
strictly native.
That leaves the question of whose
piciuve w\U tcp\ace Karmal' s.
Ahmad is optimistic ;tb ml the outcome. He thinks the coalition will
be led by a man who can bring all
the factions together and be acceptable to the Soviets and Afghans,
though Ahmad admits it's tough to
predict with perfect accuracy who
that man will be.
"The Russians tried to predict,
and that's how they got into this
mess," he says.
A possible candidate out of
many; a man named Jalalar, the
Minister of Commerce. Ahmad
describes him as " a good
bureaucrat" and "an amazing pv •
son," who has survived pure. ,
prison, and government coup-..
"He survives because he knows
what he's doing. He's not a communist or anti-communist; he's not
a hardliner. He's a Moslem."
All this he told me three weeks
ago. Since then, the Soviets have
launched new bombing offensives.
They have built barracks, as if
meaning to stay. The executions
have continued. There have even
been unconfirmed reports of
chemical warfare. A rebel leader
said the West is standing by while
his people are being massacred.
They need more arms.
Could Ahmad still be so optimistic. I called him yesterday and
asked.
"Yes," he said without hesitation. '' Karmal announced today
that he wants to talk about bringing
a U.N. peacekeeping force to
Afghanistan.'* The Russians have
been hinting at that for a week.
And he told me the numbers are
stil! important. A hundred thousand or a half million Russian
troops would not be enough to control Afghanistan.
"They would have to kill all the
people,*' he said.
And if enough Afghans are like
Ahmad says they are. that's what
the So\ iets would have to do.

tional benefits, so fewer representatives are hired," Langerhans said.
Pryor said he is responsible for
2100 veterans, of whom less than
200 are SUNYA students. He said
that when he was placed on campus
in 1974, there were 780 veterans
with two full-time V.A. representatives working on campus. In that
year, New York had the highest
enrollment of veterans in institutions of higher learning, with 75,000
registered. This year there are
14,000 veterans, 20 percent of the
1974 figure, taking New York out
of the ten in terms of enrollment nationally.
In a projected average week, according to Pryor, the V.A. would
like to see 30 people in its office.
This means that each veteran would
have to appear in that office at least
once a month, he said. In reality,
Pryor said, he has had two inquiries
in the past ten weeks, the lowest in
three years. "Taxpayers wouldn't
support a full-time representative in
view of the current figures," said
Pryor.
According to Pryor, the representatives are working under a fiveyear program, due to end Jn October of 1980. After that, he said,
there will be no more federal funding for V.A. representatives and
the program will be eliminated
around the country. "With that in
mind, the V.A. is unlikely to hire
another rep for the area in the next
few months, or replace those that
quit," said Pryor.
Lanahan cited several bills Kn .

Just What Is *}
Leadership •
Misconceptions have arisen regarding die
concept of "leadership." One-fallacy is dial
greal leader is one who has done well ill I he
pasl. Herbert Hoover was an exceptional
Secretary of Commerce, yet his term as prcsdeni left much 10 he desired. Harry S.
Truman, while vi-:u..lly Ihrusl into tlie
Presidency through no effort of his own,
became one of America's greal presidents
and pchaps our greaiesi decision maker.
Our school and its student leadership have
likewise seen poor students rise up and accomplish many helpful acls through Student
Association. Is pasi leadership, then, truly Indicative of the future potential? Are leaders
like Paul Fcldman, with his extensive
knowledge of student issues, effective
leaders?
Legislation is often the culmination of any
elecled official's term, and best indicate their
ab'lily as an experienced leader. Ycl is legislnlion passed under a candidate's name iruly a
produel of his work or merely a staff document wild a candidate's name largely written
on die bottom? Past performance is usually a
poor guide In llic future performance of an
elected official.
A heller way of viewing pasl legislation
and achievements is to see what pan in ihc
process the leader in question has played. Arc
our greal leaders spokesmen or arc iliey

A second mistaken belief is that lite Intellectual community which a leader identifies himself witli is a prediction of his or Iter
effectiveness. Despite John Kennedy's brain
trust, their aspirations for social progress
were only implemented when Lyndon
Johnson called upon many old favors that
were long due. Josef Stalin, a man of Utile

(who could hardly be characterized as Intellectuals) led his country from a peasant

[here arc no irttc Indian Ions of greal
leadership. All we can go by arc pcrsonaliiy
nails thai we interpret as having the pnssihilily id' exhibiting true leadership. A leader
should possess the ability to communicate
with all groups. He or she should be able 10

To the Ktlllor:
I reel thai while Charles T. Glacopelli s
{ASP, Feb. 29) letter brings forth some examples thai are useful, il is also a classic example of short-sightedness. By this, I mean
to stale (hat, throughout history, we have all
loo often Tailed lo use pasi experiences lo
benefit present-day decisions.
His first premise is dial siudcnts fail lo see
our current foreign conflicts as anything
beyond die Viet nam War. While il may be
Iruc lhai we have oversimplified the issue, il
is a mailer of pulling Ihc dilemma into terms
with which young people may relate. He cites
the Civil War pnilcsis of ihc IKfiOs, ycl comes
up short of acknowledging thai that war
could have been avoided as well. Had not
Lincoln relied on ihc slanted advice of his
Cabinet, peace may have been preserved and
our country's mosi iragic war would have
heen nnn-cxisicni. Indeed, possibly every
prcsidcnl in this nation's young life, save
Nixon, lias relied all loo heavily on such advisement. Nixon dug his own trenches.
(Bui that is a digression from die issue.)
His second premise, dial students are die
major neglcclors of Ihc right lo vole, also
fails lo put the mailer Into the proper
perspective. One need only look as far as
Ni'W Hampshire and Massachusetts lo sec
students campaigning with fervor for the candidate of their choice, John Anderson. Iruc,
Anderson is ihc darkest of dark horses, ycl
ihis may be a sign of ihc system whicli has
always discouraged our generation for lack
of an earnest candidate who actually ailacks
Ihc issues without circumventing them.
Finally, I do not know his age (I am 19).
Hi vever, I bid him (and all of those who side
with the established bi-partisan system of

desire and the power of youth which once

Standards, No Profit
I n the Editor:
On Friday evening, February 29, I attended a Lower East Cinema screening o f Norma
Rae, Hoping lo enjoy a relaxing evening with
a good film, I was grcally dismayed by the
slioddiness of TEC's presentation,
Consider litcsc points:
1. The film was continually qui o f focus
throughout the showing, despite angry cries
of outrage from the audience. In a plume
conversation with TEC Prcsidcnl Pete Engcl,
lie slated dial nothing could be done about
I he problem, since ihc focus on the projector
was broken.
2. The film image fluttered up and down
through aboul half of each reel. The fluttering totally destroyed the visual effect and

distorted the dialogue beyond comprehension, Engcl, who was not present at die
screening, staled lhai he knew nothing about
this problem, and suggested I blame "Stale
P h o l o " instead o f the group.
3, The sound was so loud thai the dialogue
and music was often distorted sufficiently lo
make the film unintelligible. Even though I
went back at the beginning of the film in request dial ihc sound be lowered, nothing was
done.
4. Because of technical difficulties, nnly
one projector was in operation, causing
lengthy delays between reels. A show ihsi
should have ended at mldnlghl ended near
one, forcing me to hitchhike home, ralher
ihan wall 45 minutes in ihc freezing cold I'ora
lute night bus.
The arrogance shown by Engcl and others
in the group showed no compassion lot those
subjected lo the screening. Obviously, ihc
only concern o f ihc group is lo make ilicir
profit margin, whether Ihc film meets ihe
barest of standards. To those of us who
believe ill cinema as an art form, such abuses
are comparable lo hanging a Picasso with
Scotch tape or playing Stravinsky through a
transistor radio.

The "Toucher"?
To Ihe Editor:
This letter is in response lo a from page
news story concerning a Pine Hills
" b u r g l a r y . " 1 would like to set ihe siiulcm
community rigid on ihis Incident. I was the
woman who was the victim o f the attack, and
I know the truth has uoi been told, fills is
not a fair warning to the women of the -indent ghetto area.
This was noi an attempted burglary, bin an
attempted rape. A man broke into my house
with the intention of sexually assaulting MIL-.
He began lo use physical force on me, unlike
previous Pine Hill Incidents, when he realized
I wasn't going lo cooperate. By fighting hack
and screaming I was able lo scare him off.
This is a different person than ihe so-called
"toucher."
I was not alone in die apartment. Ever)
window lias been shut for mouths. Two men
also live in ihe aparimcni so I [linughl I was
safe. Bui none of this de erred ihis man from
entering my room and attempting to rape me.
He obviously knew what lie was doing; he
knew which room was mine, and he knew
how lo gel in and out of I lie house ver)
quickly. It upsets me to think thai ihis incident was ircaied so ligluly by Ihc press. I
would like to emphasize ihc fact lhai ni)
house was secured and he got in anyway.
I'liai article was meant lo be a warning about
Ihc potential danger lo women and I don't
feel thai ii was handled in the proper manner.

Students For Presidents
/ - | n this election year, as in all others, the
-"- general vote has been preceeded by a
long drawn out series of polifical primaries.
These primaries will determine the delegates
chosen to the national conventions (of the two
major parties), whose task it will he to select an
appropriate candidate for their particular party. Traditionally the primaries begin in the
East. New Hampshire has been designated as
the usual "kick-off" of the primary battle. To
win New Hampshire, it Is said, Is to win the
party nominations. Whether this theory holds
true or not, any candidate would admit that
the state primary to win in the East is the New

The reviializalion "( Albany's downtown
area, while largely attributable to the construction of the South Mall is part of a national
trend towards moving back to cities. Various
reasons are cited for the shift away from the
suburbs: the energy crunch and the increased
cost of longer distance commuting, smaller
families, the convenience of living where one
works, less time needed to maintain apartments — no lawn mowing or leaf raking, and
the old standby that cities are more exciting
places to be in than suburbs.
One of the most dramatic and recent examples of the trend towards restoration in
downtown Albany is the development of
Robinson Square on Hamilton Street directly
across from the South Mall.
In 1975 the property was owned by Joseph
Gerrity of Arrowhead Realty Co. and plans
had been made to level the delapldated old
buildings and rebuild the area through Gerrity's son Daniel's company into residential and
commercial sites. However, after some months of hassling with the Gerritys, the HudsonPark Neighborhood Association, working with

Harrlel Langley, proprietor of Pappagallo
Shoes on Robinson Square echoed the same
sentiment. She termed having a shop there "a
very successful enterprise. And the Mall right
here can't but help. There's nothing like the
Square in the trl-city area. 1 think people are

Although -called a "square" the development is actually the north side of Hamilton
Street, The brownstones are brightly painted
and the shops, most of which are at basement
level, are designated only by unobtrusive
wooden signs. The merchandise ranges from
hath accessories to posters to imported
chocolates. The prices are far from discount.
Another newly refurbished area, which really does form a square, is Quackenbush Square
across from the Palace Theatre on Clinton
Avenue and Broadway. This is the site of the
oldest surviving building in Albany, one of the
oldest existing Dutch-urban buildings in the
nation: the Quackenbush House dated at
1730. Like the buildings on Robinson Square,
the Quackenbush House was also slated for
demolition to make way for highways but was
saved because of its historical value. The
Albany Common Council bought the building
from the state for one dollar, the city
renovated it into a restaurant, and then rented
it to Leonard Gaspary who manages the
business.

was originally conceived during its construction in 1914 as an early urban renewal project
to shield the Capitol buildings from a view of
the disheveled port area. The structure was
designed as a copy of the 13th century
After a fire in 1975. plans were made to tear
down the complex and rebuild, but the combination of bicentennial spirit and the trend
toward renovation spared its destruction.
Dillon says the only problem with working in a
renovated building is that it gets a bit drafty
because of the number of windows, but he
swears by the quality of the original workmanship. "I would've hated to see this place torn
down. You'll never find a modern building

played an advocacy role in the Board of

1974 Interview printed in the Knickerbocker

the South Mall on the rejuvenation of
downtown Albany: "The South Mall Is part of
Albany's future, but 1 think Albany's future
should also come from the history which surrounds the mall and an effort should be made

As part of SUNY's pledge to genuinely aid
the economic growth of downtown Albany,
there was no dining facility built during the
renovation, encouraging employees and
visitors to patronize local merchants.
Yet, with all the resurgence of Interest in the
downtown area, Historic Albany Foundation
W i t h The
Schuylers
Philip Schuyler, shipping magnate, owner of 125,000 acres, and General of ihe Northern
Department of Washington's army was builder and master o( that house. In 1761 when construction began, there was an unobstructed view of the Dutch Church pastures straight down to
the Hudson River. Behind and to the sides of the house stretched Schuyler's personal 125 acre
estate.
But in its day. the house fit in with the contemporary architectural style about as well as It fits in
with its current neighbors of four-floor apartments: it was ihe first house in the Albany area to be
built in the British Georgian style. The original flocked wallpaper and window glass were Imported from London. The lumber was from Schuyler's own mills in Saratoga.
The mansion was a showpiece for Schuyler and became the site of some interesting
developments in the history of Ihe United States, including the marriage of first Treasury
Secretary Alexander Hamilton into the Schuyler family.
Perhaps the most festive occasion held at the mansion was the marriage of Elizabeth Schuyler,
Ihe second oldest daughter, to Alexander Hamilton in 1780. Although the couple may have met
each other in Morristown. N.J. at the home of Elizabeth's aunt, virtually all of their courtship
took place at the Albany mansion.
The General was very pleased with the match since Elizabeth was the only one of his four
daughters to marry with his knowledge and consent. The other three Schuyler women eloped,
complete with ladders out of the'bedroom windows and walling carriages.
Philip Schuyler wrote lo Hamilton: "You cannot my dear Sir. be more happy at the connection you have made with my family lhan 1 am. Until Ihe child of a parent has made a judicious
choice his heart is in continual anxiety; but Ihis anxiety was remedied Ihe moment I discovered
on whom she had placed her affections. 1 am pleased with every Instance of delicacy in those
who are dear to me, and I think I read your soul on that occasion you mention."
The "Instance of delicacy" has been a source of much debate among historians but most
biographers of Hamilton believe it was the disclosure of his Illegitimate birth in Ihe West Indies to
the Schuylers.
Whether the marriage was purely a love-match Is allso a moot point. Hamilton had written in a
letter lo a Irlend. before meeting Elizabeth, his
cations for a mate: "She must be young

While Boyer maintained that the cost of
building a new structure would have been
equivalent to that of renovating the old one,
he did state that it would have been easier to

in the past when Albany's Dutch patroons were prospering, when the Redcoats were threatening
from Saratoga, and when the colony's landed, mercantile upper class was taking its fortune on a
brand new investment: the United States of America.
Administrator Susan Lynch characterized the
city's support of renovation projects as inconsistent.
City Planner Dick Patrick maintains that the
city will aid an area undergoing renovation
with new streetlights and landscaping. According to Patrick, federal money Is available In
the form of grants and low-Interest loans to
developers who work on structures located in
federally designated historic districts through
the Community Development Act which
replaced urban renewal.
Did Elizabeth Schuyler fill ihe bill? Yes and no She wa young enough— 23 to Hamilton s
26. Handsome? By all reports she was a dark-eyed beauty Ithough a bit plump. In the matter of
education, she had only "a little learning" as het misspelled letters testify As for politics, she was

Schuyler was well endowed. And yet Hamilton warned her about the possible poverty which lay
in store lor his bride, and he later refused to accept money from his wealthy father-in-law.
Judging from his letters. Hamilton was quite taken with her. He wrote of "Betsey" that she
had "found out Ihe secret of Interesting me in everything thai concerns her . . . She Is most
unmercifully handsome and so perverse lhal she has none of those pretty affectations which are
the perogatives of beauty." In their 24 years of marriage they had (our children and after
Hamilton's death in a pistol duel with Aaron Burr in 1804, she stayed true to his memory, never
remarrying.
And yet, according lo Regional Historic Preservation Supervisor Paul Stambach, "It was not a
happy marriage. Hamilton was fooling around with Mrs. Reynolds in Ihe 1790's. She was
blackmailing him for a while. The inleresting thing is that Aaron Burr was her lawyer — and you
know they have never really discovered why Burr and Hamilton dueled. It's ironic that Hamilton
had sponsored legislation against dueling since his son was killed In a duel in Ihe same field that
Hamilton met his death."
Whatever course their marriage later took, the ceremony itself must have been joyous. The
couple was married in Ihe formal parlor on the first door of the Schuyler home. The room is arranged in a stuff, symmetrical fashion with a couch upholstered In blue-gray in the center and
matched thinly padded chairs set up around the perimeter. No doubt there was dancing in Ihe
great hallway and a reception perhaps in the warmer-hued informal parlor across the hall. In this
room the dominanl color is rose and the tone of the drapes and upholstery enhances Ihe color ol
the mahogany and cherry Chippendale furniture.
Dinner was served under a candle-lit chandelier at the large wooden table in the yellow appointed dining room behind Ihe informal silting room. The food was brought in from a separate
kitchen, lorn down long ago, which was connected to Ihe main house by enclosed passageways.
While Catherine Schuyler no doubt oversaw the operation, most of the actual work was performed by slaves and servants, about fifteen in number, employed in Ihe mansion.
Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton spent their honeymoon in the Albany mansion and then moved to
New York City, taking up residence in what is currently the Wall Street area. The year of 1804

album with an unusually low number of
acoustic songs; only three, Like their previous

each by Ann and Nancy and Roger rishers

they use horns on " Even It t )p" and a choir on
"RocUin" Heaven Down." But throughout
Heart's career the strength of the band and the
amount of success they've achieved is attributable. In large part to Ann Wilson's
tremendous vocal ability. The magnitude of
excitement ip her voice brings every Heart
album to its fullest potential, Bebe La Strange
is no exception.
Lyrically Bebe La Strange is different then
past Heart albums. The other albums were
dreamy and looked at the world not the way it

Dreamboal Annie album can be taken as an
extended dream sequence. However, Behe

"My patience ran out, Igolla run out of a habit

The single, "Even It Up." is a purely pop
tune. Nancy Wilson plays lead guitar and the
Tower ol Power horn section adds power to
the song. It should shoot up the charts quickly. "Raised On Y o u " , is a Nancy Wilson fortissimo, Not only did she write it but she plays

ability, but then she never really piayed any instruments on previous Heart albums except
for odd and end flute, piano, and guitar. On

Fog Down, T e r r o r Up
Jim Dixon
The plotllne is no big deal. The Fog is a
ghost story opened in grand style by John
Houseman, who on the eve of ihe centennial
of a small California coast town, Is telling a
wonderful "true" ghost story. A ship of settlers
one hundred years ago was run aground by a
mysterious fog and a campfire mistakenly
thought lo be a lighthouse. When Ihe fog
returns, naturally, the dead settlers will return
lo seek revenge on the owners of that campfire.
Of course, the fog returns al night, and Ihe
crew of a small fishing trawler are murdered by
the all but unseen inhabitants of an old clipper
ship lhal appears beside them.
The plot, like Carpenter's biggest success,
Halloween, slays simple, lo a point, and
reasonably logical If the general premise of.
ghosts appearing oul a luminescent log Is accepted .- The Idea is lo put the characters
through a terrifying night In which most of
them meet horrible deaths. The acting In unnolable, and there is no message or moral.

The violence, which Is often quite strong, Is

Is very little blood on screen. Carpenter works
on a principle of creating as much suspense as
possible and holding II for as long as possible.
A Irick he seems particularly fond of Is building
up a great deal of suspense in a fairly brief
span of time and then letting II all amount to
nothing, only to then scare the audience to

sightless. She brings that kinetic fury to the
part that we know was a reality for Helen
Keller as a child. Marble's facial expressions,
from the mute howls of her anger at Annie, to
her final shattering breakthrough— when she
connects the word "water" with the actual
substance— are absolutely true and moving. It
is a feat to" create a character onstage without
the help of words, for what Is theater if not the
written and then the spoken word?
Vigilante and Marble work beautifully
together: the dining room scene, which Is
tricky for the combination of subtle acting and
stuntsmanshlp required, is a complete success.
Carole B. Smith is quite good as Helen's
mother; she brings forth some of the more
tenuous emotions in the play; the anxiety and
tenderness of a mother who wants to indulge a
handicapped child but has to recognize the
need for discipline. Smith has trouble,
however, with her diction. This is not as much
of a problem as It was in Smith's portrayal of
Lady Brackness In The Importance of Being
Earnest, but still it detracts from other aspects
of her performance. She can produce all the
passion and force for a dramatic speech, but
the articulation is not quite there, so the speaking occasionally becomes mere blowing. Paul
Villani, who plays Helen's father, shares the
same problem. The fault is more glaring with
Villani, at least in this play, because he
chooses to make Keller a real southern blowhard. In one sense this is a rather appealing
way lo do the portrayal, and works nicely with
the little sub-plot that goes on with Jimmy,
Keller's weakling son, Keller has to be an
overbearing man who oversimplifies things,
but Villani inflates him too much. The strutting
about, the wide flinging of the .inns, the long
drawn southern syllables are simply carried
too far. Keller comes off like a character out of
another play; in fact, like a character out of a
comedy. As a consequence, the scenes in
which he shows tenderness toward his,

false.
And
Villanl's diction Is poor. What he cannot give
In clean articulation, he gives In wind. The
dialogue itself, however, suggests that Keller Is
something of an orator. Villani Is )ust Ihe
wrong man for the part. His questionable performance Is made to look even weaker
alongside those of Vigilante and Marble..
Stephen D. Boaden, who plays James,
Keller's complaining son, Is completely out of
his depth. Boaden Is listed In the program as
an Apprentice Teacher-Artist. While I applaud
the company's teaching, I cannot overlook Ihe
damage done by having such an obviously inexperienced performer in a production that
nearly reaches the sublime whenever its lead
actresses are onstage together. At times it
seems Boaden has stumbled In from a Tennessee Williams play at Albany High While
James Is a weak, mincing sort of character, he
does have a couple o l scenes— particularly
Ihe one In Ihe summer house where he asks
Annie to teach him— when a strong presence
is essential. Boaden simply hasn't got It. Not
yet anyway.
Oddly enough, my only oilier objections

that an exceptional performance will usually
make a mediocre performance look awful.
Jeanne Vigilante Is, as always, superb, One
of the biggest tasks the play undertakes is the
characterization of Annie Sullivan, a woman
of high intelligence and staggering fortitude.
Vigilante takes the bit between her teeth and
runs like a thoroughbred. She loves her work.
From the first scene in which she appears,
when she Is consulting with her own teacher;
Annie's flashing wit and earthy wisdom flow.
Later there are scenes of passion and even
violence, as when Annie gets Helen to behave

The rest of the acl consisted mainly of seven
songs from Ihe group's 1978 release All M o d
Cons, the best ol which were Ihe songs "Mr.
Clean" and "To Be Someone (Didn't We
Have a Nice Time)." These songs continued
lo show the liner points o l the band's musicianship and proved thai Ihemallcally, the
group had no Intention of stepping oul of
character, interspersed In the set were three of
The Jam's new songs that have already been
released as singles in England. .The most
notable of these was "Dreams of Children,"
which featured a searing vocal interplay between Weller and Foxton, and the catchy, unpredictable music line that is a key to some of
the band's more interesting songs.
The highlight o l the show, however, came
In the performance of three songs. "Butterfly
Collectors," done after the fast-paced songs
that opened the show, was a slower, more
vocal-oriented song, and It featured long
waves of yellow light that shot out and
enveloped the group from behind, "Eton
Rifles," Ihe band's biggest hit in England for
1979, began and ended with Weller silling
nexl to Ihe amplifier, trying lo create feedback
from his guitar to get Ihe effect he produced
on Selling Sons. And finally In "Strange
T o w n , " the extra cut on the domestic release
of the new album, the band was able to produce the best translation ol Ihe night, by taking
a typical Jam song and making it into a surprisingly good rock-n-roll song that had
everyone dancing.
The only song of ihe night not done as well
in performance as It had been done In the
studio was "Smlthers-Jones", a Foxton composition that paradles Ihe beauty of v|ollns
and other slrlngs, with the theme o l a man
alienated and forgotten In the business cycle.
The strings were Impossible to reproduce, and
Weller and Foxlon used their regular Instruments. The song was fairly well done, but
It can only be viewed as a disappointment
when compared to the masterful achievement
of the song on Ihe album.
The Jam did one encore, and it consisted of
three songs: the title track from Ihe album All
Mod Cons, the group's version ol "(Love is
Like a) Heatwave" (which puis Linda's version
l o . shame), and their re-work of the Kinks'
song "David Watts." Then, The Jam left Ihe
stage, amidst the continuous cries of "Jam,"

two Jam albums just mentioned. However,
Paul, BrucB, and Rick: The J a n
Paul Weller, in a WCDB interview, said that
the group felt It was degrading to play the
older songs again and again, and he cited
some groups that play the same songs In con

new material Is "where the group Is now at"
and that's the music Ihe people should hear
All 1 can add is that the music of The Jam Is
something that should be heard by everyone
— either in concert or on record, because they
have some very important things to say
through their music and their lyrics. And on
Monday night, The Jam said It all.a

[ What are you going lo do this weekend?
B Are you going to the concert? Will you go to
S a n on-campus movie? Do your plans Include
• playing on an intramural athletic team?
• Maybe there is a good quad parly going on.
Or you could be spending the weekend up ai
Dlpplkilll Will you he listening to some of the
shows on WCDB7 A couple of the cultural
and academic groups have ihiugs going on
this weekend, too. Stocking up ai the food or
record co-ops might be useful. And, we hope
not, but you might need legal services or an
ambulance.
If you have a chance, there are also quite a
few publications around campus lo check out
now and then. Speakers, debates and much
activity by all of our student advocacy groups
are happening as well. And the nicest thing
may be that you need not empty your savings
account at the Credit Union to take advantage of all these things!
This is possible because the one thing
which all these diverse groups and activities
(and many more) have in common is the fact
that they are funded by your Student Tax.
The entire intercollegiate athletic program is
funded by 22 percent of the Student lax, or
about $180,000.
Another common characteristic of all these
groups is that Inflation has liii iliem hard.
While inflation has been spiraling by over 12
percent a year, the Student lax, which must
fund them all, has nut been increased in two
years,
As groups face drastically increased costs,
tlicy need more money to continue current
Ai*.M <3
levels of activity. They look for this money
from the Student Tax. Rut there arc no such
"extra" tax dollars available. In other words,
the size of the SA budget has not increased
although each of its parts has been seeking
needed increases al an extremely high rate.
The upcoming referendum is asking for a 6
percent increase, which would stabilise ihe
economic pressures building lip for the past
five semesters.
The decision you are going lo be asked lo
make on Monday and Tuesday will determine the quality of student life here next
year. The SA groups can provide as much for
you as you give them to work with. Alhleiics
can be successful and equal only if the needed
funding is there. $2.50 is uol much to most
people; yet when we all pitch in, we can share
a healthy pie. Please remember lo VOTE on
dinner lines and in Ihc Campus Center.

Choosing Excellence
To the Editor:
The Student Association reaching and Advising Awards were conceived by students,
the criteria for selection was designed by
siiideuis, all members of the selection cominiiicc are students, all nominations were
made by students, and students' comments;
and evaluations arc considered ihc most iniportani resource in ihc selection process, l'he
Student Association Awards Conimillcc lias
endeavored to solicit student nominations by
placing two ads in the ASP, hanging hundreds of small p.isiers and approximately leu
computer prim-outs, flic awards committee
likewise has encouraged students1 comments
on ilie nominated teachers wilh a half-page
ad and a 4x5 ad in the ASP.
A lew days ago we, the S.A. leaching and
Advising Awards Committee, received a copy
ill"the letter lo the editor that appeared in this
Tuesday's ASP criticizing ihc nomination of
a specific professor. Needless lo say, we were
dismayed that this letter was directed to the
press and noi lo us. the awards committee. It
is the awards committee ibai decides who will
receive ihc leaching awards, mil the ASP, We
fully consider any letter addressed to us,
especially those received before the selection
process had started. Of course, we weigh ihc
sincerity of each Idler, how well each letter is
verified by other letters or indicators, and Ihe
relevance of each letter lo the leaching skill
of each professor.
The awards committee takes full responsibility for our choices of recipients for these
two awards. We will not lake responsibility
for which professors are nominated by the
students. We do believe iliat even a nomination for these awards is an honor, even
though we are not responsible for making the
nominations. Most of the teachers
nominated we believe to be exemplary, exemplary enough to motivate at least one student to declare that their teacher is the best.
We hope thai the letter previously mentioned will not lake away from the honor of
these awards, the only teaching award based
primarily upon leaching ability. We also
hope that the purpose of these awards is not
lost, that is to honor and lo encourage excellence in undergraduate teaching.

Kennedy Was Here -1 Think?
With campaign chaos, why worry about
opponents?
Ted Kennedy came to town on Wednesday, but students; because of loose and
careless planning on the part of his national and SUNYA campaigners, you missed a
greal opportunity to see him.
Days before the candidate's arrival here, the big-time campaigners requested
speaking space on campus for an alloted time slot of half an hour (noon to 12:30).
Their mistake, ironically, was to contact their SUNYA campaigners to organize the
affair. After a skimpy check with Campus Center officials, the students learned that
the largest rooms to present Mr. Kennedy in were filled. Telethon was sponsoring a
era lis fair in the ballroom and the Gym had its scheduled classes. So they took ii n o
further and chucked ihe chance.
But had they pried a bit deeper (as the Jerry Brown campaign did months ago
when they made a deal with Telethon to use the ballroom) they may have come u p
with some luck. Telethon leaders said that they would have been happy to work
something out for Mr. Kennedy, or al least consider postponing their show. As it
turned out, Telethon did not need or use the ballroomWednesday afternoon. Gym
administrators, if confronted, would have also considered cancelling iheir one irregularly meeting tennis class to hold ihe event there.
When it was also suggested that the campaigners hold the affair in Page Hall, they
rejected this because of its distance from the uptown campus.
We, however, feel that wherever such a campus event would lake place, the turnout would be enormous.
So Mr. Kennedy remained at the Empire Stale Plaza, and due to poor (if not nonexistent) publicity at SUNYA, there was little chance that you were able to catch him
there.
We find this lack of publicity rather strange if one considers the large, active Kennedy following which has arisen here.
At the Capitol, Mr. Kennedy spoke before a crowd of close to 4,000 for two
minutes, (.03 seconds per person if you're into figures).
Arriving nearly an hour hue, it was feared thai the candidate should not speak
before such a large crowd in such a small cafeteria. Secret Service men then shuffled
the anxious mob into the mall for a grand two-minute ejaculation.
Kennedy organizers remarked thai they expected less than 200 lo attend. Yel this
can hardly be the case when thousands of pamphlets were passed out in lite Albany
area (excluding SUNYA nonetheless).
It would also seem that a quick speech is just as " r i s k y " as a ihirty-or sixty-minute
lecture, since any crazy w'iih violent intentions could accomplish their purpose in any
given lime slot.
The remainder of the Kennedy rhetoric was imparted to a closed press, after having denied the public his lime.
And this, mind you, was described by o u r campus campaign hawks as " a success." How then, are we to imagine " a failure"?
If Mr. Kennedy hopes to heighten his campaign, he will have lo lighten it. It is integral that proper planning and organization be a central part of the national, local,
and campus groups.
We have criticized not to indict, smear, or hurt lite m a n ' s campaign in any way (if
anything, il is a constructive criticism). Bui we remain impartial to Ihe candidates at
present. Il must be made certain, that ihc next time a presidential candidate comes
rolling into Albany, a gross injustice and mistreatment will not be performed upon
ihc academic community and the city at large. It is a disgrace to the public as voters,
as constituents, and as human beings.

Women's Varsity B a s k e t b a l l — with the
conclusion of its highly successful second
year (1923-24), State's girls team (pictured
below) had proven its mettle and brought
home the bacon in the form of scores which
placed it as a ranking organization.
Playing and beating Alumnae for its first
and third games and Russell Sage College for
the second, the team proved the idea that
having a women's Varsity was fixed and
favored — justly.

Talks Falter;Strike A Possibility
TAMPA (AP) Major league
baseball and its players siill were
poles apart today in their negotiations for a new labor contract as the
owners went lo bat under ihe

Before a 2 and a half hour
negotiation session in Clearwater,
Flu,, Wednesday, Grebey said he
would comment today on ihe
players' strike threat.
"We're evaluating that," Grebey
said. "We'll have some comment
after my meeting with the owners."
Grebcy said he first would meet
with club general managers, and
then Willi the owners. He said his
statement probably would be hue

Earlier Wednesday, Marvin

Phillies.
The executive board has threatened to strike '.'ii or after April 1 if a

Shortstop Larry Bowa, Phillies'
player representative, acknowledged Ihai (here svas a definite
possibility of a snike that would

Bowa, however, said he couldn't'
believe the owners would be
"foolish enough to lei us go

"Wc would have to have spring
training all over again while playing
league games. We have to support
ihe board or everything we've gained goes mil ihe window. We might
as well forget ihe union."
Pete Rose, one of baseball's

"We have to pul our faith In
what Marvin Miller lias done-in the
last 14 years," Rose said. "There is
tio question that what the owners
are negotiating for will help the
younger players and hurl guys making a lot of money, But we have to
stick together."
Rose noted that the players handed together in the baseball player
