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 />

Thirteen days after it began, the<br />
briefest and one of the bloodiest<br />
and bitterest of the wars in South<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

world level, no agency exists which<br />
has the authority or competence to<br />
cope with the problems, and<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 />

to convene a, Peoples World<br />
Parliament for continuous work, to<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 />

guest of John Corbett on "Contact",<br />

1972 edition of Two Thousand Men<br />
of Achievement, a work of<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 />
President Jim Simermeyer made<br />
general opening remarks; the<br />
progress of the Student Store was<br />
briefly discussed; and Vice<br />
Note from Registrar<br />
Seniors:<br />
Something new is being tried by<br />
the registrar. All seniors who plan<br />
to graduate in June must go to the<br />
registrar's office and secure an<br />
Application for Graduation. This<br />
form must be registered in the<br />
Records Office within 30 days after<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 />
bad that J. Edgar Hoover never<br />
married or the laws might have<br />
been changed by now.<br />

President Rich Vaughn mentioned<br />
the upcoming meetings with<br />
Trustees about the Master Plan,<br />
scheduled for this past Saturday. A<br />
new student member to the<br />
Curriculum Committee was appointed,<br />
due to the departure of the<br />
original one. The only item of<br />
financial business was the announcement<br />
by Treasurer Kathy<br />
Bouchard, that the Student<br />
Assembly presently has $2200 and<br />
is waiting for this semester's $6000<br />
from the Administration. The<br />
Ontology Club made a proposal<br />
that they receive $580 for this<br />
semester's expenses for speakers<br />
and literature. All financial<br />
proposals will be voted on at the<br />
last meeting of each month.<br />

encourage innovation in learning<br />
beyond high school. These<br />
initiatives are still awaiting final<br />
action by Congress. They deserve<br />

Now there's a course<br />
that pays $100 a month.<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 />

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 />
HS. to compare our experiences and decide on a course of<br />
action. The Student Mobilization Committee, along<br />
with many other organizations, is sponsoring a National<br />
Student Antiwar Conference to be held in New<br />
