DR. RALPH ABERNATHY<br />

Abernathy crisis in Amer.<br />

The Reverend Ralph Abernathy,<br />

president of the Southern Christian<br />

Leadership Conference and successor<br />

to the late Martin Luther<br />

King, Jr., spoke on the nature,<br />

cause and remedy of the profound<br />

and prolonged American crisis in<br />

an address at <strong>Alfred</strong> <strong>University</strong> on<br />

Friday, February 11.<br />

"America is in a civilizational<br />

crisis because every institution of<br />

the society is in a crisis state," Mr.<br />

Abernathy said.<br />

The government is in crisis<br />

because the executive branch has<br />

usurped the powers of the<br />

legislative branch and has launched<br />

the detestable war in<br />

Southeast Asia. This action is in<br />

open contempt of the elected<br />

representatives of the people, Mr.<br />

Abernathy charged.<br />

Not only must the war be stopped<br />

because of its cost in terms of<br />

Vietnamese life but also because it<br />

is draining the poelple and the<br />

resources of the United States. The<br />

main victims of this drain are the<br />

poor, the blacks, the Chicanos and<br />

the youth, he asserted.<br />

The present Administration's<br />

program of gradual withdrawal, is<br />

a trick, Mr. Abernathy charged.<br />

'VAs long as one G.I. and one South<br />

Vietnamese peasant loses his life<br />

we cannot afford to remain<br />

tricked. War is unthinkable today.<br />

Oppression and exploitation are<br />

unthinkable and they must be<br />

stopped," he said.<br />

"The almighty dollar is not<br />

almighty anymore," Mr. Abernathy<br />

noted, pointing out that the<br />

economic institutions of the nation<br />

are in crisis. The Administration's<br />

anti-inflationary, economic policies<br />

have put the squeeze on the poor,<br />

he charged, while the rich and the<br />

large corporations have remained<br />

relatively unscathed. Listing<br />

several giant U.S. corporations,<br />

Mr. Abernathy stated that the<br />

whole nation is on welfare only<br />

"when it comes to the rich it is<br />

dressed up as federal subsidies."<br />

Mr. Abernathy labeled the<br />

educational institutions of the<br />

nation "dull, dishonest and<br />

irrelevant." We need a system that<br />

is both truthful and honest, he said.<br />

Racism pervades the nation in<br />

Mr. Abernathy's view. The<br />

government has ignored the Civil<br />

Rights Acts and the Voting Rights<br />

Act. Mixon's Southern strategy "is<br />

in flagrant violation of the laws of<br />

the land and his nominations for<br />

Supreme Court Justices have been<br />

blatant examples of bigotry.<br />

Other examples of racism can be<br />

seen in the fact that the black<br />

unemployment rate is double that<br />

of whites and that in the phony<br />

school desegregation in the South<br />

that has resulted in the firing of<br />

black teachers and the closing of<br />

black schools.<br />

The nation's penal system is<br />

racist because the prisons are<br />

filled with blacks. Commenting on<br />

the rebellion at Attica, Mr.<br />

Abernathy said that the prisoners;<br />

many of them black, were affirming<br />

their manhood by resisting<br />

oppression but that government<br />

officials had revealed themselves<br />

as animals by their lies and use of<br />

violence.<br />

The rich, privileged and<br />

powerful ahve created the<br />

civilizational crisis in America,<br />

Mr. Abernathy charged. These<br />

people will not solve the crisis<br />

because that involves changing the<br />

power structure of the nation. The<br />

privileged will never give upa<br />

powerful position without a<br />

struggle.<br />

Victims of the crisis are the<br />

blacks, the Chicanos, who are<br />

merely looking for decent wages<br />

and human treatment, the poor<br />

and the students who were murdered<br />

at Kent and Jackson State.<br />

"The movement, including the<br />

civil rights movement, the peace<br />

movement and the student<br />

movement, is not dead but alive<br />

and changing. Strategies are<br />

changing with the times. We are<br />

fighting every day exposing<br />

poverty, injustice and oppression.<br />

As long as there is injustice,<br />

poverty, exploitation and oppression<br />

there will be a<br />

movement," Mr. Abernathy<br />

asserted.<br />

The goal of "(he movement" is to<br />

concentrate on gaining- political<br />

power. Power is necessary for<br />

those who want to change their<br />

country and save it from its<br />

civilizational crisis, according to<br />

Mr. Abernathy.<br />

This year, an election year, is an<br />

important year for bringing about<br />

this change. "We have a mandate<br />

FRIDAY NITE CONCERT<br />

The Rascals have been a major<br />

musical influence in the late sixties<br />

and early seventies. Rascals'<br />

music has always been unique<br />

because it gets down to the soul of<br />

Rhythm and Blues. Their first<br />

album was a naive flush of<br />

imitation. They included several<br />

R&B hits in this album and some of<br />

their own songs, one of which,<br />

"Good Lovin", started the Rascals<br />

on their way.<br />

Today, the Rascals have four<br />

gold albums, four gold singles, and<br />

one platinum LP to their credit.<br />

The Rascals have added three new<br />

members; guitarist Buzzy Feiten,<br />

bassist Robert Popwell and<br />

vocalist Ann Sutton joining Dino<br />

Danelli and Felix Caveliere. Admission<br />

is $2.00.<br />

SNOW SCULPTURE CONTEST<br />

The rules of the contest are very<br />

simple; no support devices may<br />

show through the snow, and<br />

sculpture may be constructed<br />

anytime but must be finished in<br />

time for the judging Saturday at<br />

1:30. The winners will be awarded<br />

two kegs of beer. Anyone interested<br />

in entering should contact<br />

the campus center in order to be<br />

eligible.<br />

SPEED SKATING CONTEST<br />

The skating contest will be held<br />

at the South Hall Rink. There is no<br />

entry fee and gift certificates will<br />

be awarded.<br />

<strong>Open</strong> your heart<br />

to East Bengal<br />

Thirteen days after it began, the<br />

briefest and one of the bloodiest<br />

and bitterest of the wars in South<br />

Ais£ ended with the surrender of<br />

the Pakistani Army in Eas Bengal;<br />

Indian Prime Minister Indira<br />

Gandhi ordering the Indian Armed<br />

Forces to cease fire on the western<br />

front with effect form 2,000 hours<br />

on December 17. This also ended a<br />

nine-month old bloody civil war<br />

between East and West Pakistan.<br />

There has been enormous<br />

bloodshed, deaths, destruction,<br />

misery and disease. In this respect<br />

it was not different from the wars<br />

that MAN has fought in the past or<br />

the wars being fought in other<br />

parts of the world. In 70 villages<br />

around the city of Dacca the<br />

retreating soldiers killed<br />

thousands of civilians, looted them,<br />

then burned their homes. In the<br />

words of Sheik Mujib, the Prime<br />

Minister of Bangladesh, "The way<br />

West Pakistanis had behaved<br />

made it impossible to live together.<br />

They torutred boys and girls,<br />

mercilessly killed people and<br />

burned hundreds of thousands of<br />

houses. I think if Hitler had been<br />

alive today even he would<br />

Redactorial<br />

The FIAT LUX has opened this semester with a new staff and a<br />

couple of old problems, namely, an insufficient staff and an old<br />

reputation.<br />

In our present state we are limited in the service we can provide for<br />

you, because of the lack of reporters, writers, and production workers for<br />

an all new printing program. With these new people we would offer a<br />

more comprehensive and exciting news coverage of this campus by<br />

escaping from the standard administrative news release form. We would<br />

have a chance to present the FIAT in a new form that would revolutionize<br />

journalism at <strong>Alfred</strong> <strong>University</strong>. But in even attempting this, we need<br />

your support!<br />

Last week EXPERIMENTER newsmagazine came into being. It is<br />

truly an experiment. Much of the staff feels it was a great success. But<br />

what of your opinion We asked you to write to the FIAT to express your<br />

thoughts on the EXPERIMENTER. To date we have received no letters<br />

and hardly any comment by word of mouth. I can't help thinking, "how<br />

fickle my audience must be! They complain about, laugh at, and literally<br />

tear apart their student newspaper ancj yet they will take no steps to<br />

seriously heal a sick organ of their student life."<br />

That brings me to the second problem at hand, the FIAT's<br />

reputation. There have been many rather trite names attached to the<br />

FIAT. (I will not mention any of them for obvious journalistic reasons.)<br />

It is my feeling that the names and bad reputation of the FIAT have been<br />

misdirected. The paper in general and the staff in specific, receives a<br />

great deal of criticism. It is not the FIAT that deserves criticism, it is you<br />

the reader. It is you who has put the paper in such low dignity. There isn't<br />

now and there has never been (for as long as I've been here) a staff<br />

member who did not do his best. But when you are overworked and there<br />

are only a dozen people to put out a weekly production of this size and<br />

expenditure, something has got to suffer. It should not be the staff<br />

however. We are slaves enough to you and our duties. It is about time that<br />

you make an effort to do something for the FIAT and yourself.<br />

Come on down to the FIAT office on Thursday nights at seven<br />

o'clock. Talk with us and don't be afraid to offer your services for some<br />

little news article that you would enjoy writing. We need that kind of<br />

personalization!<br />

- The staff is also trying to arrange some office hours when you could<br />

come down and see what is going on. We will keep you posted on that<br />

information.<br />

Winter Weekend<br />

(from page 1)<br />

TOBOGGAN RACE<br />

The run will start at the North<br />

end of Fraternity Row and continue<br />

on the road down past Ade<br />

Hall. The teams will consist of four<br />

men and toboggans will be<br />

provided but you may use your<br />

own. Gift certificates will be<br />

awarded to the winning team.<br />

SNOW PILING CONTEST<br />

This is the first time that this<br />

event has ever been attempted.<br />

The object of the contest is to pile<br />

snow, (what else). The entrants<br />

are allowed to use any means to<br />

win, cheating, stealing snow from<br />

another pile and snowball fights,<br />

are all allowed, provided there are<br />

no mechanical devices used. No<br />

cars, or any objects other than<br />

hands may be used to pile the<br />

snow. If you want to jump on<br />

another team's pile, that's fine,<br />

provided you can get close enough<br />

to it. The teams will be determined<br />

by the geographical locations. The<br />

Pine Hill residents make up one<br />

team, Bartlett, Cannon, Tefft,<br />

Reimer and Barresi make up the<br />

second team. And the third team<br />

will consist of the New Dorm, rick<br />

and Kruson residents. Students<br />

living off campus, in apartments or<br />

in fraternities will 'work' with the<br />

Brick team.<br />

Dress warm, and be ready tc<br />

defend yourself. Oh yes, beer will<br />

be served on the field.<br />

BASKETBALL<br />

Letters to the Editor<br />

Object: Prevent vandalism and damage<br />

Dear Editor.<br />

Vandalism on campus seems to<br />

be an issue that has recently been<br />

brought to the attemtion of the<br />

public. A student security aid<br />

program has been organized and<br />

will be in effect this semester. I<br />

give the credit to the individuals<br />

who had enough concern for their<br />

school to organize such a program i<br />

and I feel it is an excellent way to<br />

cope with the situation; however,<br />

it is not the solution. In order to get<br />

to thè crux of the matter, let's<br />

trace a typical weekend evening<br />

for a male student who does not<br />

have a date (keep in mind that the<br />

number of males far outweighs the<br />

number of females on campus).<br />

It is early Friday evening and<br />

after a hard week of academic<br />

work and competition, Larry is<br />

looking forward to a swinging<br />

time. He can't think of anything to<br />

do so he gets a few of his buddies<br />

and heads down to the pub with the<br />

great expectation of picking up a<br />

chick. In the pub, Larry sits down<br />

at a table and tries to carry on a<br />

conversation with a girl who seems<br />

uninterested, cold and snobbish.<br />

Due to a lack of competition, the<br />

girls are "picky," although<br />

unintentionally (mind you, there<br />

are exceptions. I am talking on a<br />

general basis). Larry tries another<br />

table and again gets a cold<br />

reception.<br />

Having been rejected several<br />

times and feeling the effects of a<br />

few beers, Larry can react in two<br />

ways. First, he can feel unwanted<br />

and inferior, consequently leading<br />

to a state of depression. Being<br />

alone, Larry may slowly stroll<br />

back to his room, thinking about<br />

the evening's activities. He may<br />

begin to question why he can't "get<br />

a girl," why he's at <strong>Alfred</strong>, and<br />

why he works so hard during the<br />

week when there's nothing to look<br />

forward to on the weekends. H may<br />

question his place and direction in<br />

Music Department Presentation<br />

The <strong>University</strong>'s department of<br />

music will present scenes from the<br />

operas of Mozart, Delibes and<br />

Menotti Feb. 13 at 8:15 p.m. in<br />

South Hall Theatre on the<br />

<strong>University</strong> campus. There is no<br />

charge.<br />

Sung in Elnglish by seven performers,<br />

the presentation is<br />

directed by Paul D. Giles, assistant<br />

professor of music, and his wife,<br />

Betty, a lecturer in music.<br />

The program was originally<br />

developed as an Allenterm project,<br />

and was presented to public school<br />

pupils in Steuben and Allegany<br />

counties.<br />

In addition, the program was<br />

recently taped by WCNY-TV in<br />

Syracuse for broadcast at a later<br />

date.<br />

The singers are tenor Robert G.<br />

Stein of Cold Brook, baritone<br />

Hall. The Greasers have a Rock &<br />

Roll Revival show that promises to<br />

set you swinging and swooning.<br />

Admission is $1.00.<br />

SUNDAY CONCERT<br />

The Modern Jazz Quartet has<br />

been playing jazz for over a<br />

decade. Thier list of bookings<br />

reads like a road atlas, from the<br />

<strong>University</strong> of San Francisco to<br />

Kleinhans in Buffalo to the clubs<br />

and colleges in Florida. Even<br />

though the MJQ has been using the<br />

same material for ten years it is<br />

interesting to note how they rework<br />

their own repertoire. Songs such as<br />

"Django" and "Ralph's New<br />

Blues" have been updated and<br />

rearranged to sound very contemporary.<br />

It is also fascinating<br />

how the group can take a song like<br />

"Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and by<br />

subtly altering the conception with<br />

which they play, give several<br />

different parts of the song entirely<br />

differeht feelings, pulses and<br />

life. He might ask himself, "Is it all<br />

worth it Why don't I get out of this<br />

place But where will I go What<br />

will I do" Eventually, in the more<br />

unstable person, it may lead to<br />

suicidal tendencies.<br />

The second way in shich Larry<br />

may react is aggression sparked<br />

by frustration. His frustrations<br />

cause him to be extremely angry<br />

and irritable. He is liable to antagonize<br />

the first person who annoys<br />

him. Fuming with bitterness,<br />

he storms out of the pub. In extreme<br />

cases he may "get back at"<br />

the girls the girls by sneaking up<br />

behind one,, reaching over her<br />

shoulders, and giving her breasts a<br />

painful squeeze. Or maybe after a<br />

few beers, his sexual desire at a<br />

peak, his frustrations wbout to boil<br />

over, he just might resort to rape.<br />

In less extreme cases, he might<br />

take his anger out by smashing the<br />

windows in Reimer Hall or by<br />

throwing a beer pitcher through a<br />

car window. However Larry acts—<br />

aggressive or suicidal—the<br />

situation that led to his behavior<br />

was an unhealthy one. Fortunately<br />

there appears to be á solution.<br />

I feel by making the male-female<br />

ratio at <strong>Alfred</strong> equal we will see a<br />

sharp decrease in the number of<br />

vandalisms and crimes on campus<br />

and just as important, we will help<br />

make that "depressed Larry" feel<br />

a little more wanted and happier.<br />

My reasons are as follows:<br />

1) A large majority of crimes on<br />

campus are committed by males.<br />

If we increase the number of<br />

females at <strong>Alfred</strong> we will have to<br />

decrease the number of males,<br />

directly lowering the number of<br />

crimes.<br />

2) Females have a strong influence<br />

on males. A male is<br />

unlikely to commit a crime while<br />

with a female (unless he is trying<br />

to prove his masculinity); if he<br />

attempts to, the female will likely<br />

talk him out of it. Thus by in-<br />

Trafford L. Doherty of Horseheads,<br />

and sopranos Mary K.<br />

Bouchard of Pittsford, Ronnie L.<br />

Lasker of Hewlett, Gail G. Gilbert<br />

of Williamsville, Amanda S.<br />

Snyder of <strong>Alfred</strong> Station and Judy<br />

Williams of Wellsville.<br />

Miss Eleanor Howells, a lecturer<br />

in music at the <strong>University</strong>, is piano<br />

accompanist. Thomas Gilbert is in<br />

charge of lighting and Timothy<br />

Brown, props.<br />

The program includes scenes<br />

from Mozart's "The Marriage of<br />

Figaro," "Cosi Fan Tutte" and<br />

"The Magic Flute," a duet from<br />

"Lakme" by Delibes, the opening<br />

scene from Gian Carlo Menotti's<br />

comic opera, "The Old Maid and<br />

the Thief," and each scene is<br />

preceded by a narrated description<br />

of the plot.<br />

moods.<br />

John Lewis,-the pianist, and Milt<br />

Jackson, the vibraphonist, are the<br />

leading personalities by virtue of<br />

their extraordinary talent and the<br />

instruments they play. Percy<br />

Heath, the bassist, has, however,<br />

assumed a growing importance as<br />

a solo voice. His performance on<br />

"Blues in Milano" and in "Ralph's<br />

New Blues" (a fascinating double<br />

time chorus) are impressive<br />

examples of his fine bass work.<br />

Connie Kay, the drummer, not only<br />

because of his solid backing rhythms<br />

but also for his well defined<br />

solos, is considered the foundation<br />

of many of the more intricate<br />

pieces that the MJQ performs.<br />

Tickets for the MJQ are $1.00.<br />

The schedule is full of interesting<br />

and entertaining activities. A<br />

special advance ticket good for all<br />

concerts is available at the Center<br />

for $3.00. Help support this<br />

weekend and <strong>Alfred</strong> will look<br />

forward to many more.<br />

creasing the number of females,<br />

we will increase the amount of<br />

"female influence."<br />

3) As I have noted before, many<br />

crimes are sparked by<br />

frustrations. However, they need y<br />

not be sexual frustrations per se. /<br />

Often a male feels as though his<br />

sexual drives ai e at a peak or he is<br />

"horny," when he actually has a<br />

desire for affection, love and<br />

security. This desire to feel wanted<br />

(superficially, affection) can<br />

easily be satisfied by the mere<br />

presence of a female "friend,"<br />

devoid of the secual aspect. There<br />

are no two ways about it, females<br />

have that unique feminine touch<br />

that tends th comfort a man. By the<br />

way, the new coed compgpxes are a<br />

big step toward satisfying this<br />

desire for affection and security.<br />

Whichever the drivz—for affection<br />

or sex—by increasing the number<br />

of fe m aley, we will eliminate these<br />

frustrations.<br />

I feel that one of the keys in<br />

solving vandalism and molestings \<br />

on the <strong>Alfred</strong> campus lies in an *<br />

equal male-female ratio. I ask the<br />

admissions committee to seriously<br />

consider the issue.<br />

Thank you,<br />

Roger A. Abrahams<br />

congrats.,.<br />

To whom it may concern:<br />

I would like to offer my<br />

congratulations to those who<br />

helped plan and initiate this<br />

semester's registration. I have<br />

rapid registration program at<br />

<strong>Alfred</strong> or any other university.<br />

Student force to be soon<br />

A student security organization<br />

is now in the process of being<br />

formed for operation beginning<br />

March 1. Students interested in<br />

serving on the organization must<br />

complete a security aide application<br />

and hand it in to Mr.<br />

S Meacham, Jim Abrahams or the<br />

campus center desk by noon,<br />

Wednesday, February 16.<br />

Composed of twenty students<br />

from every sector of the <strong>University</strong><br />

community, the main purpose of<br />

the organization will be to try to<br />

prevent vandalism and report<br />

property damage through the<br />

proper channels.<br />

"We are not policemen; we are<br />

not a narcotics squad; we are not<br />

trying to harass students; we are<br />

trying to protect our own<br />

property," Jim Abrahams, one of<br />

the student organizers of the force<br />

said recently.<br />

A special hot line, similar to the<br />

one currently used by Oz, will be<br />

established so that students may<br />

register a complaint or report an<br />

S act of vandalism or property<br />

damage that they have witnessed.<br />

The advocates of the student<br />

security organization hope that<br />

this will encourage students to<br />

report window breakage or accidental<br />

damage to automobiles so<br />

that they may be handled through<br />

normal channels. Until now there<br />

has been no easy way for students<br />

to report such damage.<br />

Working in pairs and identifiable<br />

by their gold blazers the students<br />

on duty will be in contact with<br />

"headquarters" in Mr. Meacham's<br />

office via walkie-talkie. In an<br />

» emergency situation both the<br />

police and <strong>Alfred</strong> Tech security<br />

may be contacted through a direct<br />

telephone link.<br />

Mr. Meacham, Director of<br />

Safety, will monitor the operation<br />

of the security organization but the<br />

direct supervision will be handled<br />

i by a student chief and a student<br />

sergeant.<br />

Through the agitation of a small<br />

group of students and the subsequent<br />

cooperation of administrative<br />

personnel, the Board<br />

of Trustees approved the formation<br />

of a student security force<br />

and allocated funds for its<br />

oeration.<br />

Continuation of the security<br />

organization is dependent upon<br />

- student support and cooperation.<br />

"The thing that will either make it<br />

or break it is if the students accept<br />

it. If it is not accepted, the<br />

organization will end," Jim<br />

Abrahams said.<br />

Mr. Meacham will explain the<br />

operation of the student security<br />

organization on WALF, Wednesday<br />

night, February 16.<br />

Security Aide Applications must<br />

be completed and turned in to<br />

either Mr. Meacham, Jim<br />

Abrahams or the Campus Center<br />

desk no later than noon Wednesday,<br />

February 16.<br />

A student security force<br />

ill be selected from all sectors of<br />

our academic community. Applications<br />

will be furnished to<br />

dormitories, fraternities and<br />

sororities. No one person will<br />

select who the successful candidates<br />

are, but will be a result of a<br />

committee action. The<br />

qualifications are as follows:<br />

1. Criminal record check.<br />

2. Good physical condition.<br />

3. Psychological testing and<br />

evaluation.<br />

4. Attend all training sessions.<br />

5. Pass written examinations on<br />

material covered.<br />

6. Work a minimum of 9 hours<br />

per week at a rate of $1.85 per hour.<br />

This group wilj be trained by the<br />

Director of Safety and the New<br />

York State Police B.C.I. Investigator.<br />

They will learn not only!<br />

what to do but what they may not'<br />

do. Some of the courses will be:<br />

1. Laws of arrest<br />

2. Laws of search and seizure<br />

3. Use of force<br />

4. Robbery<br />

5. Burglary<br />

6. Trespass<br />

7. Criminal Mischief<br />

8. Definitions<br />

9. Petit Larceny<br />

10. Grand Larceny<br />

\Ik.Punishmenti oitt ,ol alqm&i^u<br />

12. Harassment<br />

13. Assaults<br />

14. Crimes—sex<br />

15. Criminal investigation<br />

16. Things to know<br />

As you can see, they will be well<br />

trained and do not deserve the<br />

vigilante title they have already<br />

been labeled.<br />

We hope the guard will be in<br />

operation by the first of March,<br />

1972. Their instructions will be<br />

John Bailey likes to look his customers in the eye.<br />

Hornell<br />

"respond to all complaints." It will<br />

not be "go out and harass the<br />

public." The guard will be closely<br />

supervised by a student chief and a<br />

student sergeant. The whole<br />

operation will be monitored by the<br />

Director of Safety. The guard will<br />

have no more authority than that of<br />

a private citizen.<br />

In most cases, those people who<br />

are identified committing a crime<br />

on our campus will be handled<br />

exactly as in the past. Mr.<br />

Heywood will determine what<br />

action should be taken against<br />

property owned by A.U. Dr. Odle<br />

will determine what action to take<br />

against those who commit crimes<br />

against the person of another. Of<br />

course, the option is always open to<br />

anyone to call the police instead of<br />

our student guard.<br />

the Navy. He joined the <strong>University</strong>'s<br />

administrative staff in 1965<br />

as proctor, or supervisor of men's<br />

residence halls, and was named to<br />

the campus safety post last June.<br />

Prior to 1965, Meacham was a<br />

member of the New York State<br />

his plans for the future.<br />

Protect life - outlaw war<br />

FIRST DECREE FOR THE<br />

PROTECTION OF LIFE *<br />

Whereas—<br />

The people of Earth are, in fact,<br />

confronted daily with the threat of<br />

instant extermination by the accidental<br />

or deliberate unleashing<br />

of nuclear weapons. This threat<br />

multiplies as more nations gain<br />

nuclear capability and install<br />

multiple warheads which defy<br />

inspection and control by treaty.<br />

T he $200,000,000,000 being spent<br />

by the nations each year , for<br />

military purposes, mainly for<br />

weapons of mass destruction and<br />

their deployment, is a ciminal<br />

waste of resources and manpower<br />

which could otherwise be devoted<br />

to supplying the People of Earth<br />

with adequate food, shelter,<br />

clothing, education, health services,<br />

and expanding opportunities<br />

in life.<br />

which stronger nations interfere in<br />

the affairs of weaker nations and<br />

enforce imperialistic and colonial<br />

policies. ,<br />

Meanwhile, the civil and human<br />

rights of people in all countries are<br />

nullified when nations are permitted<br />

to keep large and heavily<br />

armed military forces, since it is<br />

with military forces that dictatorships<br />

and tyrannies are enforced,<br />

movements for peaceful<br />

change crushed, and the people<br />

kept subservient—making a<br />

mockery of the Charter of Human<br />

Rights adopted by the United<br />

Nations.<br />

During the next one to thirty<br />

years, in order to survive and<br />

prosper, the residents of Earth<br />

must overcome manifold problems<br />

and perils of planetary scope<br />

Therefore—<br />

In view of the increasing<br />

of everyone on Earth, and in the<br />

absence of effective action by<br />

national governments and international<br />

we who are listed below, from<br />

many countries, have organized<br />

ourselves into an Emergency<br />

Council of World Trustees to take<br />

immediate action on behalf of<br />

humanity. Our purposes are to<br />

to convene a, Peoples World<br />

Parliament for continuous work, to<br />

prepare a Constitution for Federal<br />

World Government for submission<br />

to the Parliament; to appoint<br />

gfotial' legislative' commissions' to<br />

prepare legislation on urgent world<br />

problems for sumission to the<br />

Parliament, and to take other<br />

appropriate action leading to the<br />

establishment of a Provisional<br />

World Government under<br />

democratic popular control.<br />

As a first action to recue Planet<br />

Earth and its inhabitants from<br />

destruction, and to provide a<br />

tangible rallying ground for people<br />

everywhere who want peace and<br />

human rights while fnoving<br />

towards the creation of a<br />

Provisional World Government,<br />

Gardner's Trip<br />

Dr. George Gardner, <strong>University</strong><br />

specialist on Arab society, said<br />

after a three-week tour of Egypt,<br />

Jordan and Lebanon, that the Arab<br />

states were anxious to avoid a<br />

renewed "crisis" with Israel.<br />

He added, however, that the<br />

outlook for permanent peace in the<br />

Middle East appeared to be dim.<br />

Publicly, President Anwar Sadat<br />

of Egypt has vowed a resumption<br />

of war against Israel.<br />

Gardner, chairman of the<br />

<strong>University</strong>'s department of<br />

sociology, returned Jan. 28 from a<br />

series of meetings with government<br />

and educational officials in<br />

the three countries.<br />

In an interview, Gardner said<br />

"the climate in the Arab world is<br />

one of caution—a desire to avoid<br />

crisis."<br />

At the same time, he went on, a<br />

"focus of active confrontation"<br />

with Israel continues to exist in<br />

Egupt over what the Egyptions<br />

consider their "national honor."<br />

For the Egyptians, he said, the<br />

source of the problem continues to<br />

be "Israeli occupation of the<br />

Egyptian territory (following the<br />

1967 war) and Egyptian<br />

recognition that there is no way to<br />

drive the Israelis out."<br />

Gardner said his visit coincided<br />

with recent student demonstrations<br />

in Cairo. These indicated<br />

"a profound disquiet and popular<br />

frustration over the existing<br />

dilemma—for Egypt—of whether<br />

to remain inactive or to engage<br />

Israel in all-out war.<br />

"The Arabs recognize that<br />

renewal of war would lead to<br />

inevitable defeat," Gardner said.<br />

According to Gardner, sentiment<br />

in Jordan presents a somewhat<br />

different picture. During his stay<br />

in that country, he said, he found<br />

"evidence of a sincere desire to<br />

work out an accommodation with<br />

Israel—less inclination on the part<br />

of the Jordanians to support Egypt<br />

in case of a crisis."<br />

Gardner's trip was undertaken<br />

at the invitation of the ministries of<br />

tourism and education of the three<br />

Arab states with a view toward<br />

developing American student<br />

travel in the Middle East.<br />

Gardner said Arab officials<br />

expressed a willingness to cut<br />

costs, provide special facilities and<br />

tour leaders for American study<br />

groups in their countries.<br />

He said he had found in his talks<br />

"a genuine desire to see<br />

Americans in the Ariib states." On<br />

the question of Middle East travel<br />

by American Jews, Gardner said<br />

he was told of no formal<br />

prohibition, but that some official<br />

"concern" was expressed over<br />

"possible embarassments" to<br />

tourists who were also Jews.<br />

For 12 years before joining the<br />

<strong>Alfred</strong> faculty in 1962 Gardner<br />

taught at the American <strong>University</strong><br />

in Cairo. He is co-author with Sami<br />

A. Hanna of the book "Arab<br />

Socialism", published in 1969 by<br />

the <strong>University</strong> of Utah Press.<br />

Annual Tuition will rise<br />

• to $2650 as of Sept. 1<br />

Annual tuition for the <strong>University</strong>'s<br />

private sector will go up $150<br />

next fall.<br />

The announcement was made by<br />

the president, Dr. Leland Miles, In<br />

a letter to parents of students,<br />

Miles said the institution had been<br />

able to hold the line on the charge<br />

for room and board, currently<br />

$1,300 yearly, but that tuition, now<br />

$2,500, would be raised to $2,650 as<br />

of Sept. 1.<br />

The tilition increase does not<br />

apply to the <strong>University</strong>'s statesupported<br />

branch, the College of<br />

Ceramics. The State <strong>University</strong> of<br />

New York, which funds the<br />

Ceramics College, has indicated<br />

the possibility of a tuition increase,<br />

but no formal announcement has<br />

been made.<br />

S <strong>Alfred</strong> <strong>University</strong> has informed<br />

faculty members in its private<br />

sector that the sump-sum<br />

retroactive payments covering<br />

salary increases for the months of<br />

September, October and<br />

November 1971 would be made<br />

Feb. 15.<br />

The announcement, in the form<br />

of a memorandum, was issued by<br />

the <strong>University</strong>'s provost and vice<br />

president for academic affairs, Dr.<br />

J. D. Barton, Jr.<br />

Faculty salaries had been<br />

blocked at Aug. 15 levels following<br />

President Nixon's 90-day wage-<br />

» price freeze under the Economic<br />

Stabalization Act of 1970. Once the<br />

freeze had been lifted, faculty<br />

members began receiving<br />

scheduled contractual increases<br />

for the 1971-72 fiscal year with their<br />

December 1971 paychecks.<br />

Barton's announcement, dated<br />

I Jan. 14, cleared up the lingering<br />

Regional<br />

Abortion fee illegal<br />

It is now illegal to charge a fee<br />

for abortion referrals in New York<br />

State. However, some referral<br />

services still have fees and they<br />

f have moved out of New York State<br />

or gone underground. Therefore,<br />

you are urged to avoid any agency<br />

that charges a fee ince there's no<br />

guarantee that their interest lies in<br />

anything other than your money.<br />

There are agencies that do<br />

provide free abortion referral;<br />

many of them to hospitals and<br />

clinics in the New York City area.<br />

Price range from $80 on up. The<br />

average is $150 for vacuum<br />

aspiration (7-12 weeks LMP) and<br />

• $350 for a saline abortion (17-22<br />

^ weeks LMP).<br />

Here is a list of agencies that do<br />

not have fees. Please note that they<br />

do not accept collect phone calls.<br />

1. Planned Parenthood's Family<br />

Planning Information Service 212-<br />

677-3040<br />

Miles said the $150 increase for<br />

the 1972-73 academic year was<br />

required to cover most costly<br />

goods and services, modest faculty<br />

salary improvement and a "few<br />

additional faculty so that we can<br />

maintain our present studentfaculty<br />

ratio."<br />

Adding that he believed federal<br />

anti-inflation controls "should<br />

reduce the rate at which future<br />

costs rise," Miles said faculty and<br />

administrators at <strong>Alfred</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong> would receive "half the<br />

salary raises for 1972-73 that they<br />

received this year."<br />

"Hopefully, as the cost of living<br />

declines, salaries and costs can be<br />

stabalized, thus making it possible<br />

also to stabalize educational<br />

charges to parents," Miles said.<br />

Faculty gets retro, pay<br />

question of retroactivity for the<br />

three-month duration of the freeze.<br />

Citing Stabalization Act Amendments<br />

of 1971, Barton said it was<br />

now possible for <strong>Alfred</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />

"to make retroactive payments to<br />

adjust your salary up to the 1971-72<br />

contract amount."<br />

Barton's announcement applied<br />

only to the <strong>University</strong>'s<br />

predominantly private sector, not<br />

to its state supported branch, the<br />

College of Ceramics. Faculty<br />

.members in this latter unit are<br />

paid directly by New York State.<br />

Last Nov. 14, Ceramics College<br />

faculty received the first installment<br />

of yearly salary increments<br />

that had been temporarily<br />

blocked by the wage-price<br />

freeze.<br />

Information was not immediately<br />

available on the<br />

question of retroactivity as it affects<br />

Tenure Committee<br />

Students at Ithaca College now<br />

have an official voice in decisions<br />

on tenure for faculty members.<br />

The college's faculty of humanities<br />

and sciences voted unanimously to<br />

include four students as voting<br />

members of a committee that<br />

advises the provost on tenure and<br />

promotion decisions. Aside from<br />

the students, the committee also<br />

includes twelve tenure and four<br />

untenured faculty members.<br />

Student Assembly<br />

The Student Assembly got off to<br />

a roaring start this semester with<br />

a grand total attendance of nine at<br />

Thursday's meeting. Lack of<br />

publicity for the event was<br />

presumably the cause of the thin<br />

attendance. The Student Assembly<br />

is the coordinating body for many<br />

student activities on campus, so all<br />

those interested in becoming involved<br />

in student planning and<br />

government are urged to attend.<br />

Meetings will be held every<br />

Thursday at 9:00 p.m., in the<br />

Campus Center.<br />

At the first meeting of the<br />

semester, last Thursday,<br />

general opening remarks; the<br />

progress of the Student Store was<br />

briefly discussed; and Vice<br />

Nixon-Environment<br />

In President Nixon's third state<br />

of the Union Address, he proposed<br />

a set of constructive programs<br />

which respond to and act on<br />

today's social and environmental<br />

problems.<br />

Speaking about the environment,<br />

he pointed out to Congress the<br />

achievements during his Administration<br />

to date: establishment<br />

of the Environmental<br />

Protection Agency, new air quality<br />

standards, and a Refuse Act to<br />

combat water pollution.<br />

The President said, "The most<br />

striking fact about environmental<br />

legislation in the early 1970's is how<br />

much has been proposed and how<br />

little has been enacted. The need<br />

for action in these areas is urgent.<br />

The forces which threaten our<br />

environment will not wait while we<br />

procrastinate."<br />

The President spoke of his twoyear<br />

old proposals related to<br />

Carson Busted<br />

Being busted is one thing, but<br />

when you are the son or daughter<br />

of well-known personality, it's<br />

quite another story. Richard W.<br />

Carson, son of Johnny Carson, has<br />

been busted for grass. It's just too<br />

married or the laws might have<br />

been changed by now.<br />

ArmyROTC.<br />

In our Advanced Course the monthly subsistence<br />

allowance has just been increased. From $50 to $100.<br />

One hundred dollars every month for 10 months of the school<br />

year. To spend on room and board, dates and ball games.<br />

To save for grad school.<br />

But Army ROTC means a lot more than more<br />

money. It means management and leadership experience that<br />

you just can't get anywhere else. The kind of thing that can<br />

land you a better job, and move you along faster once you<br />

get it. It means a commission 'as an officer and everything<br />

that goes with it. The prestige, the pay, the chance to travel,<br />

the experience.<br />

Now ROTC looks<br />

even better. For the money<br />

you'll earn today. For the person<br />

you'll be tomorrow. See your<br />

Teta s Plays run smooth<br />

Three plays directed by Bob Teta<br />

as an Allenterm project sponsored<br />

by Professor Brown were<br />

presented last Friday and<br />

Saturday evenings at South Hall.<br />

The productions clearly showed<br />

the work put into them by students,<br />

either for their January projects or<br />

in conjunction with other Allenterm<br />

studies. The difference<br />

between other lab theater<br />

productions and Teta's project was<br />

easily seen. Students of the play<br />

production classes offered during<br />

the school semesters must encounter<br />

conflicts in casting with<br />

productions done by the <strong>University</strong><br />

Players, class schedules that often<br />

hinder frequent all-cast rehearsals,<br />

and competition with other<br />

student plays for the use of the<br />

stage. The Allenterm atmosphere<br />

allowed Teta and his assistant<br />

director, Cherie Bingham,<br />

freedom to work diligently with the<br />

cast and crew members and<br />

produce a more polished performance.<br />

"The Diaries of Adam and Eve"<br />

by Mark Twain traces the<br />

relationship between the infamous<br />

couple from a strained coexistance<br />

to total devotion and love. A dance,<br />

though somewhat repetitious in<br />

gesture, by Lolly Hirsh to the story<br />

of the creation together with Stu<br />

Silver's fine light show provided an<br />

effective preface - to the play.<br />

Although performances by Anne<br />

Smith and Dan Fox as the "chosen<br />

couple" were excellent, the<br />

audience could not appreciate the<br />

romantic theme, if they could see<br />

the play at all. The South Hall<br />

stage is definitely not the easiest to<br />

see if one isn't seated in the first<br />

row, and as the bulk of the acting<br />

took place either in sitting or lying<br />

on the stage, the audience was<br />

justifiably restless. Teta's choice<br />

of a rather heavy theme was<br />

therefore laughed at instead of<br />

being received as the elating experience<br />

th at . he had intended.<br />

The second play, "The Ten Worst<br />

Things About A Man" as performed<br />

by Kate Daly and Steve<br />

Brown, with a local youngster,<br />

Harry Littel, was a light comedy<br />

by Jean Kerr. Kate plays an<br />

"average" housewife who<br />

discusses her husband at the<br />

breakfast table. Steve, who spoke<br />

only a few lines, practically stole<br />

the show. The reason for this was a<br />

lack of teamwork between the two<br />

which resulted in individual performances,<br />

though separately<br />

good, rather than a cooperative<br />

balance.<br />

"Next" by Terrance McNally<br />

was the last of the three plays.<br />

Benny Simbole as Marion Cheever<br />

played a fourty year old draftee<br />

reporting for his induction<br />

physical. His examining officer,<br />

Sgt. Thech (Beverly Hinton), gives<br />

him his physical and mental tests.<br />

Here the pair qcted as a team with<br />

pace and emotional level rising to a<br />

cooperative peak, still allowing for<br />

excellent character contrast at the<br />

same time. The dramatic finale<br />

where Marion, having flunked his<br />

examination, becomes schizoid,<br />

was a striking change in atmosphere<br />

effectively shown<br />

through bizzare lighting and<br />

Benny's superb portrayal of the<br />

boviously difficult part.<br />

It is difficult to sum up an<br />

evening of such variation in theme,<br />

characterization, and mood. The<br />

precise coordination of light,<br />

music, choreography and acting<br />

represented a great deal of work<br />

and resulted in a smooth performance<br />

for the effort of some<br />

twenty-six people involved in the<br />

productions.<br />

Kennedy<br />

con't from page 1<br />

fascistic-genocidal society of the<br />

nation," Ms. Kennedy attempted to<br />

draw a comparison between Lt.<br />

William Calley and Angela Davis.<br />

The fact that Angela Davis<br />

remains in jail for supplying a gun<br />

that was used in the killing of a<br />

California judge, while Lt. Calley<br />

was pardoned after being convicted<br />

for the murder of Vietnamese<br />

civiliams, illustrates the<br />

genocidal nature of American<br />

society.<br />

Making random comments for<br />

the rest of the speech, Ms. Kennedy<br />

termed the silent majority "deaf,<br />

dumb, catatonic and paralyzed,"<br />

said that politics this year would be<br />

"a ball," and stated that<br />

sometimes she really believes that<br />

Nixon is financing Muskie's<br />

campaign because he wants to run<br />

against a "nothing." She also<br />

denied that she was a militant<br />

saying the "the real militants are<br />

General Westmoreland, General<br />

Abrams, General Foods, General<br />

Mills and General Dynamics<br />

because they are the killers of the<br />

society."<br />

She made brief comments on the<br />

inefficiency of the police, noting<br />

their inability to locate stolen cars,<br />

and on Roman Catholic opposition<br />

to legalized abortion. She stated<br />

that priests and nuns are denying<br />

life to "feti" by refusing to impregnate<br />

or be impregnated.<br />

Horizontal hostility characterized<br />

the question and answer<br />

period following Ms. Kennedy's<br />

speech as the audience polarized.<br />

The first questioner commented<br />

that the Black Student Union at<br />

<strong>Alfred</strong> State received $1,000 from<br />

the student activities fund and<br />

asked whether that indicated<br />

racism. Ms. Kennedy responded<br />

that the Black Student Union<br />

should receive fifteen to twenty<br />

times as much money. "Black<br />

students getting $1000 is picayune.<br />

Anybody who gets more than a<br />

shoe with a sole is nigger-rich,"<br />

she said. She also charged that the<br />

State College was discriminatory<br />

in its admissions policy because<br />

the black student population was<br />

not proporitionate to the black<br />

population of the state.<br />

The second question resulted in a<br />

lengthy discussion of the problems<br />

encountered by an Italian-<br />

American group at the State<br />

College in setting up an<br />

organization with a constitution<br />

adopted brom the Black Student<br />

Union. When Professor Trotta<br />

interrrupted the discussion<br />

because, in his owrds, "the people<br />

came to hear you discuss the social<br />

and political issues of the day,"<br />

and because there were many in<br />

the audience who were not State<br />

College students, Ms. Kennedy<br />

lashed out at him. She charged that<br />

Professor Trotta was being racist<br />

because he had interrupted while a<br />

black, not a white, student was<br />

.speaking.<br />

Asked why she continued to work<br />

within American society if it was<br />

as oppressive, racist, sexist and<br />

genocidal as she claimed she<br />

responded, "I'm not above taking<br />

money."<br />

The situation remained tense<br />

and hot until the end with on black<br />

saying that the audience had<br />

proved that it was racist by its<br />

response to Ms. Kennedy's<br />

presentation of reality. Ms.<br />

Kennedy topped off the evening by<br />

terming the audience "the most<br />

hostile" that she had ever faced.<br />

Attention photographers! Word<br />

has it that there is a new trend in<br />

developing pictures. An Amsterdam<br />

photographer recently<br />

took a picture of some Rotterdam<br />

houses. He then proceeded to<br />

develop the picture with only water<br />

taken from chemical-laden Rhine-<br />

Meuse Rivers which unite Holland.<br />

The result was a clearly printed<br />

picture of the houses.<br />

more ecology...<br />

Biologists are now studying the<br />

effects of war on ecology. In<br />

Vietnam, they have found that one<br />

organism has adapted to the environmental<br />

disruption—the tiger.<br />

Tigers now associate gunshots with<br />

human carrion, and take advantage<br />

of their new plentiful and<br />

easily located food supply.<br />

Political Perspective<br />

It may be of some interest to the<br />

concerned few on the <strong>Alfred</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong> campus that we are<br />

once again in the midst of a<br />

presidential election year. There is<br />

already an influx of colorful buttons,<br />

used slogans and touched up<br />

candidate photos. The presidential<br />

race has so far attracted a field of<br />

fourteen trotters and a few day<br />

dreamers.<br />

For the donkies the track is led<br />

by honest Senators Edmund<br />

Muskie, followed up by poll watcher<br />

Senator Hubert Humphrey.<br />

The rear of the pack is led by<br />

what's his name—Senator Scoop<br />

Jackson, followed ever so closely<br />

by Mayor John Lindsay (the nonresident<br />

mayor of fun city).<br />

Himself being followed by the old<br />

liveral, Senator George McGovern.<br />

Straggling behind cluttering up the<br />

field are Chisolm, Yorty, Hartke<br />

and poet McCarthy.<br />

In Jumbos corner we find coach<br />

Nixon leading the field with right<br />

handed Rep. Askbrook and one<br />

issue Rep. McCloskey just approaching'the<br />

starting gate.<br />

From third party land we find<br />

Dr. Spock tripping over from the<br />

left and George Wallace jumping<br />

over from the right.<br />

Unfortunately despite thé large<br />

field of participants in this<br />

presidential episode the rhetoric<br />

being spewed upon the public has a<br />

familiar style in regards to past<br />

election sweepstakes.<br />

Once the eager contestants leave<br />

the shelter of the starting gate they<br />

are immediately subject to the<br />

rules of the primary game. The<br />

candidate must appeal to certain<br />

interest groups in order to build<br />

some type of rag-tag coalition so he<br />

can get a respectful showing in the<br />

primaries. To do this he must pick<br />

several topics which can be molded<br />

to create the desired effect on the<br />

particular interest group being<br />

addressed. This year's favorites<br />

are : a change in government<br />

priorities, the establishment of<br />

more credibility within the<br />

government and the fiving of more<br />

say to the people in local and<br />

national governments.<br />

While they are important concepts<br />

they tend to be naked when<br />

missing the key ingredient of how<br />

they are to be accomplished by the<br />

man behind the podium or in the<br />

box.<br />

After the candidate has told us if<br />

he is in favor of or against the<br />

concept (the degree depending<br />

upon if he is speaking to the Dairy<br />

Association or the New<br />

Democratic Coalition) we are left<br />

with little else except knowing that<br />

Muskie is a man who looks good „<br />

with a cigar ; that Humphrey has a ,<br />

good line, that McCloskey is a fine /<br />

fellow and that Lindsay is the pride<br />

of the forgotten cities (particularly<br />

the city he seems to have forgotten—New<br />

York).<br />

We are seldom told how Muskie<br />

will tear the federal budget wide<br />

open to change priorities; never let<br />

in on McGovern's plan to bring the<br />

people back into government, and<br />

seldom hear Jackson tell us how he<br />

will get money to the elderly by not<br />

cutting the amount of money going<br />

to subsidize certain privileged<br />

interest groups.<br />

This all leaves much to the<br />

imagination, yet whose fault is it<br />

that the candidates are found to<br />

make empty statements about<br />

things that are most appealing to<br />

the public Why must the incumbent<br />

president's staff make<br />

Joe McCarthy style remarks in<br />

order to help silence the loyal<br />

opposition Is is necessary for<br />

Hubert Humphrey, a strong and<br />

constant backer of organized labor<br />

for more than two decades, to vote<br />

against the SST so he can capture<br />

the youth vote and the other<br />

goodies that come along with it<br />

The fault might lie with the<br />

election of Andrew Jackson in 1829,<br />

but it doesn't. It does lie with the<br />

nation's apathetic majority and the<br />

subsequent advancement of the<br />

strange animal known as the<br />

political strategist.<br />

The result of these two factors<br />

have brought us Johnson and<br />

Nixon. Following their examples,<br />

why should a candidate tell the<br />

public what he intends to do once in<br />

office After all, both presidents<br />

got in with their own little Vietnam<br />

secrets and Nixon never lowered<br />

himself by debating with the opposition<br />

in 1968.<br />

The real naked rhetoric begins<br />

after the conventions, but take<br />

heart. We are often reminded that<br />

a lack of political candor is to be<br />

expected in our Democracy. After<br />

all, that's the American way.<br />

Abernathy (from page 1)<br />

Paul McCloskey:<br />

"I am going to challenge Nixon<br />

in the primaries unless the<br />

President stops the bombing and<br />

accelerates the pace of withdrawal."<br />

(New Republic: April 24,<br />

1971) With this basic idealogy, Paul<br />

McCloskey, ex-Marine officer in<br />

Korea, recipient of the Navy Cross,<br />

Purple Heart, and the Silver Star,<br />

and presently a colonel in the<br />

Marine reserves, began his<br />

campaign for the Republican<br />

Presidential nomination.<br />

In the middle of his third term in<br />

Congress, the 43 year old<br />

Californian had decided to run,<br />

purely as an idealistic martyr.<br />

Knowing full well that by trying to<br />

ouster the President in his own<br />

party, the heirarchy of the<br />

Republican Party would disavow<br />

any knowledge of McCloskey and<br />

will tend to overlook him in upcoming<br />

elections. However, Mc-<br />

Closkey hopes that by committing<br />

political suicide, he could force the<br />

President's hand into ending the<br />

war.<br />

For months previous to his<br />

decision to run, McCloskey had<br />

hoped to meet Nixon personally<br />

and to discuss with him the<br />

problems that were facing the<br />

nation. All he received was Henry<br />

Kissinger, which apparently did<br />

not satisfy him. Being totally<br />

discouraged with the channel that<br />

leads to the President, McCloskey<br />

started his campaign to bring<br />

about a sense of honesty to those on<br />

Capitol Hill, while being funded by<br />

the influential anti-war Republican<br />

millionaire Norton Simon.<br />

McCloskey had charged Nixon<br />

with a "lack of moral leadership"<br />

(Time: June 7) regarding racial<br />

injustices, squandering school<br />

integration by demanding that the<br />

courts interfere, and by alienating<br />

the youth from the Administration:<br />

nM \ "."'. this Administration is<br />

repelling the young. Unless the<br />

Republican Party can attract the<br />

idealism of the young, we're<br />

dead." (Time: June 7)<br />

McCloskey also charged Nixon<br />

with "willful deception of the<br />

American people." (Time: April<br />

26) towards the reduction of<br />

manpower in Vietnam and the<br />

issues on the economy and plans, if<br />

he gets elected, to "give people the<br />

/ facts." (Time: June 7)<br />

McCloskey's fight must be a<br />

powerfully waged one, for he must<br />

convince a totally unrealistic and<br />

self-alienated Administration the<br />

true emotions of America. By<br />

gaining a substantial anti-war<br />

following and doing decently in the<br />

primaries, McCloskey hopes that<br />

Nixon will notice that he does not<br />

have the nomination all sewed up<br />

and if he doesn't do something fast<br />

Nixon will lost the nomination.<br />

McCloskey's aim is to have Nixpn<br />

set a definite withdrawal date from<br />

Vietnam, and then McCloskey will,<br />

gracefully, bow out from the<br />

primaries.<br />

All we can do is hope and pray<br />

that McCloskey's schemes<br />

materialize and become fact.<br />

in 1972 to do our thing—to seize<br />

power—to retire Richard Milhouse<br />

Nixon and send Spiro Agnew back<br />

to Maryland, Mr. Abernathy<br />

stated. He also noted, "We are not<br />

going to do it because we think the<br />

Democrats are better than the<br />

Republicans either. The<br />

Democrats have betrayed blacks<br />

and the Republicans have failed<br />

them, he charged.<br />

Blacks and members of "the<br />

movement" will look for and vote<br />

for the individual with a program<br />

that will solve the nation's<br />

problems at home and abroad. The<br />

people of America must march on<br />

the ballot boxes in 1972 and their<br />

slogan should be,"It's not the man<br />

but the plan," Mr. Abernathy said.<br />

This is how the United States will<br />

be saved from its institutional<br />

crisis.<br />

Hansel defeated by Chico Fernandex AU Rifle Team now 8-2<br />

John Hansel, director of food<br />

services, was defeated last<br />

Wednesday by Chico Fernandez in<br />

a thrilling contest of skill and efficiency<br />

at the inner recesses of<br />

Ade Hall. The battle, which should<br />

have lasted for the duration of the<br />

dinner meal, ended after only<br />

twenty spectacular minutes with a<br />

surrender from "Long-John"<br />

Hansel and an easy victory for<br />

nandez of Lambda Chi. The initial<br />

challenge by the confident youth<br />

was made as a protest to recent<br />

cut-backs on personnel at the hall.<br />

Fernandez, scheduled to work<br />

clean-end alone this semester,<br />

rebelled after two days of unbearable<br />

torture at the job, and<br />

voiced his complaint. According to<br />

Chico, the shortage of help was<br />

causing a health hazard, and not<br />

providing satisfactory service to<br />

the students. Without an additional<br />

man at the job, dishes were being<br />

rushed into the lowerators (dish<br />

containers) without previous<br />

screening to check for those that<br />

may have required a second wash.<br />

In short, Chico Fernandez was<br />

being forced to do a poor job in<br />

order to prevent machine back-up.<br />

Hansel, skeptical of the employee's<br />

complaint, offered to show<br />

him that the job could in fact be<br />

done alone, and suggested a<br />

demonstration of his own skills at<br />

the task saying, "Chico, I'm going<br />

to prove to you that one man can do<br />

the job."<br />

The following evening the<br />

challenge was met, and publicized<br />

as C.M.I, vs. Lambda Chi by Tom<br />

Timmons and John Marsh, also<br />

brothers of the fraternity, and pot<br />

crew members at the hall. Hansel,<br />

arriving at 6:00 and advantageously<br />

missing the early<br />

rush, confidently wore his tie to the<br />

affair. After re-arranging the<br />

lowerators for easy access, during<br />

which he hindered the pot men,<br />

runners, silver lady, and caused a<br />

general traffic jam, "Hands"<br />

Hansel was ready for work.<br />

At first there were not too mnay<br />

dishes and Fernandez, feeding<br />

dishes into the machine at the<br />

other end, recalls that Hansel kept<br />

up well with the load at that time.<br />

However as the contest continued<br />

Hansel, dripping with perspiration<br />

due to a "mysteriously" turned off<br />

exhaust fan, began to crack under<br />

the pressure. The washing<br />

machine stopped automatically<br />

from back-up shortly afterwards,<br />

and a truly dramatic pause interrupted<br />

the shours of "Chico,<br />

Chico, he's our man; if he can't do<br />

it, nobody can," from the<br />

cheerleaders "Flash" Resnach,<br />

John Marsh, and Tom Timmons.<br />

But this was not the end for<br />

Hansel who started the machine<br />

once again for a second try. Before<br />

long however, the washer stopped<br />

once more, and Chico, feeling for<br />

his opponent, sent a load of trays<br />

through and eased the strain<br />

temporarily.<br />

Fate was against Hansel from<br />

the beginning according to betting<br />

polls which lasted 100-1 odds to his<br />

ability to last throughout the meal.<br />

After breaking three dishes in the<br />

short-lived but valiant attempt, the<br />

Director of Food Services admitted<br />

defeat at approximately 6:20<br />

before the big rush.<br />

Looking back on the incident<br />

Chico reflects, "All in all Hansel<br />

did put up a good fight though he<br />

was going against unbeatable<br />

odds." Hansel has agreed since to<br />

put another man at the job who will<br />

work from 6:00-7:00 alongside the<br />

undefeated Fernandez.<br />

hall, when asked to comment on<br />

the battle, replied, "Hands against<br />

wit. Wit won;" perhaps one of the<br />

more profound statements concerning<br />

the turn of events.<br />

Intramural Basketball<br />

In the men's intramural<br />

basketball league, Lambda Chi's<br />

"A" team has moved into the top<br />

spot in the fraternity division. They<br />

accomplished this by defeating<br />

Delta Sig's "A" team last Tuesday<br />

night by the close score in overtime<br />

of 48-46.<br />

In that game, Doug Dickson was<br />

high scorer with 18 points with<br />

Larry "Eagle" Bauer hitting 11.<br />

The winning basket came on a 20<br />

foot jump shot by Tim Wingate<br />

with 7 seconds remaining. The<br />

following night, Lambda Chi swept<br />

past ZBT 46-27.<br />

Tied for second place in the<br />

standings are Delta Sig and Klan,<br />

each 2-1. Kappa Psi follows with a<br />

1-0 record.<br />

Friday, the Saxon Warriors<br />

defeated St. Lawrence by a close<br />

score of 1293-1286. Top Shooters in<br />

the match were Captain Tom<br />

Jordan 261, Co-captain Rick<br />

Sander 264, juniors Bob Dell 259<br />

and Ron Kaplan 257, and<br />

sophomore Bob Sanit 252.<br />

Saturday morning, the Saxon<br />

Warriors shot against Clarkson<br />

College, losing to them 1327-1347.<br />

Losing to Clarkson, the toughest<br />

team in the league at present<br />

dropped us out of being tied for<br />

first. But, this loss brought the<br />

Warriors closer together and for<br />

the first time showed them how<br />

well they can work as a team.<br />

Top scorers were Captain Tom<br />

Jordan 260, Co-captain Rick<br />

Sander who just joined the 280 club,<br />

Ron Kaplan 266, John Fernback<br />

263, and Dave Hardy 258.<br />

Although defeated by Clarkson,<br />

the Saxon Warriors are more<br />

determined than ever to win,<br />

knowing they have the ability to do<br />

so. The Saxon Warriors are looking<br />

forward to beating Niagara<br />

<strong>University</strong> this coming Friday at<br />

home and then onward the<br />

following week against Syracuse<br />

and Cornell.<br />

This past Wednesday, the Saxon<br />

Warriors shot a private match<br />

against <strong>Alfred</strong> Tech in preparation<br />

for our first match and their State<br />

Sectionals this weekend. The<br />

Warriors came through defeating<br />

thenl 1274-1260. This Wednesday<br />

the Warriors will have another<br />

chance to do it again at home in<br />

preparation for the match against<br />

Niagara. The Saxon Warriors<br />

would also like to give recognition<br />

to two new freshmen who joined<br />

the rifle team. They are Charles<br />

Sirowatka and Angelo Salamone.<br />

If anyone else is interested in<br />

shooting as a sport and would like<br />

to give it a try, the Saxon Warriors<br />

would be happy to discuss it with<br />

you. Just drop down any afternoon<br />

at the rifle range beneath Greene<br />

Hall or see Sgt. McDonald at the<br />

ROTC building.<br />

V.D. Law I S Stated<br />

There have been a few questions<br />

concerning Health Center policy<br />

with respect to confidentiality<br />

when venereal disease is<br />

diagnosed and treated.<br />

An amendment to the New York<br />

State Public Health Law, effective<br />

Jan. 20, 1970 states, "a licensed<br />

physician may diagnose, treat or<br />

prescribe for a case of venereal<br />

disease in a person under the age of<br />

twenty-one years without the<br />

consent or knowledge of the<br />

parents or guardians of said<br />

person."<br />

Dr. John Vagell of the Health<br />

Center states that this has been,<br />

and is, our policy with reference to<br />

venereal disease and other related<br />

problems.<br />

In 1972 the power of the student movement will<br />

be more crucial than ever before. In order to plan<br />

our most effective strategy, we need to meet together<br />

action. The Student Mobilization Committee, along<br />

with many other organizations, is sponsoring a National<br />
