State of the Faculty

From activismi to apathy to a new beginning
By Melissa Spielman
"During th is decade, the role of faculty has undergone
radical alterations. From Columbia to Berkeley and
back to Stony Brook, the faculty has served as the media-
tor between irate students and befuddled administra-
tors. In the process the faculty has gained enormous
power." -"The Use of Faculty Power," Statesman edi-
torial, Nov. 5 1968
"Ihave the impression that faculty have felt decoupled
from the decision-makingprocess."- University Presi-
dent John Marburger, 1980
The wane of student activism in university and
social issues is commonly acknowledged. But the polit-
ical interest and power of the faculty, although proba-
bly overestimated even at its peak, has been shrinking
as well.
Reasons cited here range from worsening economic
conditions to political changes at Stony Brook. Viet
professors and administrators agree that while faculty
have almost complete autonomy over academic deci-
sions, even the small amount of non-academic influ-
ence they had has been eroding.
Biology Professor Elof Carlson suggests factors sim-
ilar to some proposed for the decline of student acti-
vism. "Most faculty do not crave political p6wer if the
campus is running well and if there is no overriding
national crisis. But when you get crises like the Biet-
nam war, [SUSB] senate meetings become very popu-
lar with faculty. The Senate is a University advisory
body with a faculty majority. Whatever political inter-
est and influence the faculty had in the 1960s was, he
believes, "artificial - because of Vietnam and deep
racial problems we had to make quick decisions." But
M in times of less immediate pressure. "you're going to
work on your prime issues... research, teaching, per-
sonal life."
Joe Katz, of Stony Brook's Research Group for
Human Development and Educational Policy, sug-
gested a more direct correlation between student and
faculty activism. During "the late 60s, students were
terribly active on behalf of their own education, and
this inevitably led to faculty response." Larry DeBoer,
Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Studies, explained,
"Faculty and student activism on campus was directly
linked to their social consciousness off campus." By the
beginning of the 70s, said Katz, "students began to
relax their own push," and faculty followed.
Asked why students stopped pushing, Katz replied,
"We were beginning to go into worse economic times."
He added, "There were larger numbers of students
going out into the market, so the competition even in
better times would have been keener." As a result,
"The prestige of academia in the general population is
not as high as it once was - the returns from education
aren't what they used to be." This, along with waning
job stability, had helped erode the faculty's base. In the
late 50s and early 60s, he related, "faculty were much
more sought after." But since the early 70s, "faculty
have been stationary. That has decreased their stabil-
ity, the self-esteem that comes with being wooed."
Economic constraints within the institution dimin-
ish the influence of the faculty in another way.
"Faculty do not have power at the present time," said
Arnie Strassenberg, Physics professor and Acting
Dean of Undergraduate Studies. "They can't do any-
thing the administration hasn't given them the resour-
ces to do. The fact that resources are scarce makes the
people who manage them more important"
Lest the impression be given that ten years ago
faculty, secure in their positions and well-funded pro-
grams, were trampling each other in their haste tn

 Whose Decision?
A textbook test case of students vs. Residence Life
By Eric Brand
They still don't have an RA.
When Marilyn Fallat graduated last
DeIcember, she resigned Ls Residential
Assistant of her hall in Kelly E. The
controversy beshrouding the selection of
a new RA has both students and
administrators up in arms. The nexus of
the controversy is in the varying
interpretations of authority over
residential staff. Traditionally, residents
have picked their RAs and MAs.
Residence Hall Directors (RHDs) were
given the right, two years ago, to select
staff regardless of residents' wishes. Few
instances of conflict have arisen, nor been
given much publicity. Until now.
A selection committee, according to all
involved, was formed last semester; it
consisted of one representative from each
hall of the building, four additional staff
members, and the RHD, Orlando Perez.
Due to other obligations, "everybody
agreed," according to Perez, to postpone
the selection process until this semester.
When they did meet, Perez said there was
a consensus that a particular male
applicant would be best suited for the
job.
This is "not quite true," according to
Rodney Robissa, a member of that
committee. He asserted that there was a
"definite split" between the male
applicant and the eventual choice of the
committee, Anne Saracione, Legislature
Chairwoman and a hall resident.
After much discussion, and numerous
votes, the committee, according to Perez,
selected Saracione and Perez presented
the choice to the Quad Director, Dana
Solomon, for approval. There was then a
protracted wait for the okay. During that
wait, a personal was placed in Statesman
which, among other things, congratulated
Saracione on her selection.
Solomon missed several scheduled
meetings with the committee, but finally
presented a letter in which he stated the
need for a review of the selection process,
and the selection itself invalid, because
"confidentiality" had been violated;
because "committee members freely
stated that the top candidate was not
chosen due to the fact that he did not
reside in the hall. The Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action
principles have been violated since under
this procedure all students do not have
equal access to employment"; and lastly,
because the nember of students on the
committee exceeded that allowed by
Residence Life guidelines.
Point by point, Kelly E residents have
taken exception to Solomon's stand, and
in a leg meeting Tuesday night passed a
resolution condemning his actions. To Controversial Decisions.

Faculty Power on the Rise

(Continued from page 1)
faculty and students around at the time agree this was
not the case. There was always a tiny core of faculty, no
more than ten or fifteen, who were visibly active in
politics on campus.
The size of the University is often cited as an obstacle
to concern on its constituents for each other. In
smaller institutions, said Carlson, "there's more
shared power." But, "the bigger the University is, the
more comfortable it is to divorce yourself from all
aspects of the University except for your own."
Academic Vice President Sidney Gelber sees a
severe fragmentation of faculty at Stony Brook, which
discourages members of different departments from
sharing university-wide concerns. "The University is
essentially organized around disciplines. The running
of the University administratively is more efficient
that way. However, it tends to pull these different units
into their own orbits. Professors, said Gelber, tend to
identify more with members of their field at other
institutions than with their colleagues at Stony Brook.
The lack of a meeting place for faculty of different
departments, said Carlson, makes interdisciplinary
communication even more difficult.
The SUSB Senate is Stony Brook's primary interde-
partmental organization. Composed solely of faculty
until it voted in 1974 to include some students and
staff, the Senate is the most visible testing ground for
the power of faculty at the University. Sociology Pro-
fessor and former Senate Chairman Norm Goodman
said that the administration's acceptance of the
Senate's academic recommendations is "almost auto-
matic" - administrators and other faculty concur.

ment Chairman. remarked that although the adminis-

It's been siad that our little university
A Hatchet Job
community is a microcosm of the world out
there, its little student government with its
policies and strange bedfellows miniatures of the
real-life, heavy duty political scene in
Washington. And just as Ronald Reagan and his
chief hatchet-man, David Stockman, cut wide
swaths in social programs with their
Balance-the-Budget mania, Polity Prez Rich
Zuckerman and recently deposed Treasurer
Larry Siegel wish to visit similar villainy on
Stony Brook.
The plan, as proposed to, and passed by the
Polity Council, (and, to their credit, voted
against by Freshman Representative Dave
Gamberg and Vice President Jim Fuccio), is to
cut the student activity fee by $5. Simple? Not
quite. As Siegel explained, there is too much
money coming into Polity; a large surplus,
(reports vary from $30,000 to $70,000), now
exists, and he feels Polity "hasn't made decent
use of it. With more students, (and therefore
revenue), coming in next year, wand with a
carry-over, the surplus, from this year, the
decrease in revenue, (approximately $48,000),
would be made up. The hope is that this move,
(which must be endorsed by the student body
by vote in April), will set the precedent of
cutting waste in big-oops- little government.
Well, Washington's wrong, and so is Polity,
but we'll concentrate on the little government
because they're an easier target.

reading the review of the show, I real-

have a contradiction.
If you, like the Red Balloon does, that
Russia is not expansionist and Afgha-

then I can understand your position. Or
if you say like INCAR, that military

leads to the same conclusion. But in your
Editorial, you accept the Russian. "Goal

INCAR and Red Balloon, you advocate a

Responsible people are less likely to

threats to society. This fact is recognized
by a reader of your last issue who
reproaches you (in a letter) for creating

Penzance Mightier Than The Sword
By Alan E. Oirich
Broadway is bustling with revivals
and rejuvenations. In this day of mega-
cost theatre production, producers have
traded in the old "'whatthe hell, let's give
it a try!" gamble for the give-me-a-sure-
thing-or-I'll-lose-my-shirt inentality.
Now, just because something was hit in
the sixties, fifties or forties, there is no
guarantee that it will qualify for
"smash" status once recast, revitalized
and rerun. A 1981 audience does not
always but the same old brand of
bologna.
Yet, some true classics make real kil-
lings (Camelot, West Side Story), others
just run until they slow down to a walk
and finally stop (Brigadoon). But real
courage and Joseph Papp have brought
a real classic to the Broadway stage; The
Great White Way is now the proud home
of The Pirates of Penzance. After an
impressively successful run in Central
Park's Delacorte Theatre this past
summer (a run during which many
thousands waited on line from early
morning till evening in order to get
tickets), the p!ay has come to the Uris
Theatre as a )roduction that can be des-
cribed as ro less than an absolute
delight.
Pirates or The Sla•r of Duty, as it is
subtitled, is an operetta written by the
team of Gilbert and Sullivan over a cen-
tury ago. The story is the unlikely tale of
a young man. Frederic, played by Rex
Smith (yes, the same Rex Smith who
sang "You Take My Breath Away"), who
finds himself apprenticed till adulthood
to a band of Pirates ... Accidental-
ly... you see, his nursemaid, Ruth,
(Estelle Parsons) explains that her hear-
ing problems caused the mistake when
the boy's father had asked that he be
apprenticed to a ship's pilot.
As the show opens, the boy and his
pirate friends are celebrating the end of
his indenture, which was to last until he
was twenty one. Before he departs, he
tells his ex-comrades that as soon as he is
free he will feel duty bound to destroy
them, for though he loves them individu-
ally, as a group they are Pirates how-
ever incompetent. He goes on to explaini
as tactfully as possible, that one reason
for their lack of success was their habit
of letting all orphans go firee, having all
been orphans themselves. Frederic
informs them that the word has gotten
Grad Orchestra
(Continued from page 11)
The melody is crisp and clean,
and one is almost always com-
pelled to tap his or her foot to
the beat. The Orchestra's pro-
duction of Vivaldi's concerto fit
this description perfectly.
The first allegro movement
was quite forceful, with the
deep-toned sounds of angry cel-
los. Complementing them were
the sweet-sounding violins, the
rest of the orchestra, and the
background twangs of a harpsi-
chord. The second largo move-
ment was sad and doleful.
Long, melancholic sobs of the
cellos pined away above the bit-
tersweetness of the harpsi-
chord. It was rich and deeply
moving, setting the stage for
the last allegro movement.
The pace again picked up,
with this quick, lively beat, so
typical of Vavaldi. The alter-
about, and now the sailors of every ship
they plunder all claim to be orphans.
Shortly after being put ashore with
his Nurse, Frederic meets the daugh-
ters of a Major General. They are a
comedic lettle bevy of gigglers all flut-
tering lace and tee-heeing. One of these
daughters, Mabel, is played by Linda
Ronstadt. Her voice is sweet and that is
her real talent]. As Frederic, Rex Smith
brings an innocence and naivete to the
role as well as an excellent voice and a
talent for the self-spoofing flavor of the
play.
The timeliness and cleverness of this
play attest to the genius of Gilbert and
Sullivan. Pirates is farcical, tongue-in-
*eek, and self-parodying. It lampoons
e\ erything from British stodginess to
the classic pirate tale to the eternal
sugar-sweet romance of boy-meets-girl.
In this case, it's just a bit more complex.
It is boy, (who happens. quite by acci-
dent, to be a pirate) meets girl, with half
a dozen sisters (who happen to be the
daughters of a Major General).
Though Rex Smith and Linda Ron-
stadt are the romantic leads, for the
most part it is Kevin Kline's show. His
portrayal as the swash and knee buc-
kling Pirate King is an absolute master-
piece of the craft that is acting; his overt
subtlety, as well as his brilliant timing
and intelligence, allow him to board and
command the ship that is the play. The
absolute funniness of his character is a
joy. His piratics include dueling with
the orchestra leader during the "Pirate
King." The latter loses his baton in the
battle and plays the rest of the perfor-
mance batonless. Kline, along with the
rest of the cast, is having a good time.
And when they're having such fun, the
audience really has very little choice but
to join them. Kline take the show as the
Pirate King. And for most of it, he IS
King ... . Except for the joker in the
deck ... whenGeorge Rose bounces on to
the stage to do his number "I Am the
Very Model of a Modern Major Gen-
erai, the audience is privileged to a
show stopper the likes of which hasn't
been seen on Broadway for years. The
co- bination of the sharp wit of the song
anu Rose's fabulous sense of character
send him flying through this piece,
bringing with him a grateful audience.
Rose has an impeccable British charm
and his Major General is so perfectly
nating imitations of the orches-
tra and the cellos were quite
delightful. The orchestra was
deserving of the standing ova-
tion they received from the
audience for a truly fine
performance.
The final selection of the
evening, was Beethoven's
"Symphony No. 5 in c Minor,
Opus 67," more comonly known
as "Beethoven's Fifth." Leslie
Ekstein who is currently work-
ing toward her Master of Music
degree in orchestral conduct-
ing was the conductor. All four
movements of the piece were
dramatic and alive with
energy, creating the longest
and most dynamic perfor-
mance of the evening. It was the
perfect finish to a fine produc-
tion of musical enjoyment by
the Graduate Orchestra.
:hat a Major General might be expected
uodo and know. They, like the play, are
jokes of the system - caricatqres of the
flawed real-life characters of the Victo-
rian era. The Victorian world-view
helped box people into roles like these
characters, who carry out their stations
in life to the best of their incompetence.
Linda Ronstadt plays Mabel, the
Major General's daughter, as a singer.
Since it is an operetta, there are very
few spoken words. Those few are the
only weaknesses of Ms. Ronstadt's per-
formance. Her singing, though, is done
impressively with the emotion of a fine
actress. Her few spoken lines pale in the
light of her lovely singing. Estelle Par-
sons plays Frederic's middle-aged nur-
semaid, Ruth. She is funny and
engaging in the part, and comes across
well as a bumbling and love-hungry
women. Her comedy is understated, and
thus underscored.
Wilfred Leach's direction shows a
genuine understanding of the play and
its humor. This is especially commenda-
ble when one considers that there are
directors without such a gift of interpre-
tation who still can't make plays work
even with modern themes and licing

 Jazzing and Rocking Some New Vinyl
Love at First Sight
Sonny Rollins
Milestone Records
Living jazz legend Sonny Rollins has
encumbered countless criticism from jazz
purists overthe last couple of years. These
barbs range from selling out to his re-
cordings not matching his live performan-
ces. While, in this writer's opinion, these
critiques are totally unwarranted, Love
At First Sight his latest release, will un-
doubtedly rekindle much purist ire.
Through much of the album Rollins
seems to hold back. However, his distinct
acidy timbre, inflection, and acute lyrical
sense are all much in evidence. Criticism
of this sort is like lambasting George
Brett for hitting .333. It is holding what
he can do against him.
Rollins penned fewer songs on this LP
than on his previous effort Don't Ask (3
to 5). His band is also slightly different.
Sans Larry Coryell, the Milestone percus-
sion section of Al Foster and Bill Sum-
mers is nonetheless present. Augmenting
them, however, are funky fusion king
George Duke and Mr. hemidemisemi-
quaver Stanley Clarke, who contribute
both their songwriting and playing abili-
ties. The result is a diverse, exquisitely
performed album.
"Double Feature" is truly that as
Rollins and Ciarke go one on one.
"Strode Rode," the album's only real up-
tempo cut, also conatins Rollins' only
wailing. An inventive call and response
between Rollins and Foster makes this
track even more appealing. "Little Lu" is
a cute mid-tempo piece with a riff you
will be repeating all day.
While Love At First Sight is mostly
slower tempo tunes, it is Rollins at his
finest. One listen to this album and you'll
be in love at first flight, into the unique
land of Rollins.

Gary Myrick and the Figures
Gary Myrick and the Figures
Epic Records
With the commercial acceptance of
the "new wave,' many record companies
(eager to cash in on this latest fad) have
started packaging every record that
contains bass, guitar, and drums in a
"new wave" format. Some of these
records sound nothing like the new
wave in music, others are the genuine
article, and still others, like the debut
album. Gary Myrick and the Figures,
combine elements of both.
Art schooler (;ary Myrick is the cen-
tral and only focus on this album. He is
the sole songwriter, singer, and guita-
rist and this fact proves to be more of a
hinderance than help. His star-
performer-with-a-tback-up-b)and atti-
tude works occasionally, like on the
album's two opening cuts, "Living )is-
aster" and "Ever Since the Wurlkd
llegan." But when he tries to move away
from this sparse, hard-edged sound, the
results are extremely (lull and typical.
Instead of providing an interesting
diversity, the conflicting new wave and
AOR styles only lead to confusion. Side
two suffers the same fate.Thesongs with
an edge. like Myrick's "Meaningless"
and Ray Davies' rocker "Who'll Be the
Next in Line " work well. yet leave the
rest of the material suffering from a
lack of distinction and excitement.
If Gary Myrick and the Figures are
given the chance to develop as a true
collaborating unit, their next album
may be something to look forward to.
However, right now. they still need
some fattening up.

80/81
Pat Metheny
ECM Records
As we usher in the latter half of the ap-
pelation of Pat Metheny's latest twofer,
one might conjure up the idea that an
equally apropos moniker would be 60/61.
The reason for this contention is the free
jazz nature of the instrumentation and
music of this effort. While different from
his previous offerings, 80/81 is a job well
done in this extremely esoteric arena of
jazz.
A prerequisite to 80/81 is either vast
knowledge of free jazz or Mus 107. To
the untrained ear this music literally
sounds like the entrance to the Queens-
borough Bridge at 5:30 p.m. Consequent-
ly, it is all or nothing with 80/81: you'll
either love it or hate it.
The performances are so first rate,
however, at worst, it may be th.e album
you love to hate. Metheny shares the
solos equally with the brilliant tenor
saxes of Michael Brecker and Dewey
Redman, with each concentrating on dif-
ferent selections. Most of Metheny's solo
pieces (such as the title cut and "The
Bat") mesh his unique electric guitar
sound with older jazz rhythms. The only
exception is "Goin' Ahead," which finds
Metheny by his lonesome self and in a
familiar vein. The sax cuts find Metheny
playing supporting rhythms on acoustic
guitars. In all cases he is in his usual fine
form.
It is the rhythm section that is really
stalwart. The pity of this is that many of
Metheny's younger fans have never heard
of them. Drummer Jack DeJohnette is an
old Creed Taylor session man who has
backed almost all jazz giants since the fif-
ties. Bassist Charlie Haden was voted the
best bassist in Down Beat magazine (over
the likes of Ron Carter and Stanley
Clarke).
Most of the material was penned by
Metheny, with one cut written by Haden
and another being the Ornette Coleman
standard "Turn Around." Do not be
fooled by this. The LP is mostly hardcore
free jazz (the only exception is "Goin'
Ahead"). The lack of keyboards only
proves its disassociation with his prior
work. Thus 80/81 may disappoint some
fans while acquiring new ones.
Metheny has announced that this was
just supplemental work and his group is
alive as ever. Thus we probably can ex-
pect the sound we have come to know
from him in the future. The fact that
"Goin' Ahead" is the last cut on the al-
bum hints at this.
With 80/81 Metheny continues to tred
on new ground, at least for himself. Per-
haps the album's greatest virtue is that it
will introduce this music to listeners who
would not have otherwise been exposed
to it. It is fine performances like these
that will keep ECM records at the top of
the Down Beat jazz record t '1belchart.

Crocodiles
Echo and the Bunnymen
Sire Records
Echo and Bun nymen's Crocodiles is a
surprisingly solid debut album which
successfully blends elements of the psy-
chedelic era with the interesting new
sounds of the 80s. With as many musical
revivals in England as there are new
groups, Echo and Bunnymen, like The
Teardrop Explodes and Psychedelic
Furs, have chosen the period from 1965-
1968 commonly known as the psyche-
delic era, to use as their main source of
inspiration.
Their combination of 60's and 80's
styles works well because their music is

NRPS Riding a Nag Through the '80's
By Rich Silverman
Whatever it was that the New Riders
of the Purple Sage once had, it's rapidly
fading. During last week's concert at
Stony Brook's Union Auditorium, the
band suffered from both a lack of energy
and a self incurred identity crisis.
Obviously intended as a plug for their
latest recording effort, Feelin' A right ,
Wednesday's hour and a half late show
featured at least half a dozen of the
album's quasi-reggae, quasi-"junk-
rock" cuts. After a lengthy absence from
the touring circuit, it was disappointing
that a band of NRPS's caliber hadn't
evolved from their original style into
something a bit more unique.
Largely to blame for the let down is
the group's recent change in musical
direction. The Riders have strayed noti-
ceably from their former country roots,
leaning now toward nondescript, com-
mercial material. Both in concert and on
vinyl, most of the new arrangements
come off as rehearsed, stiff, and gener-
ally out of place in the band's tradi-
tional, honky tonk reportoire.
Although energy dwindled everytime
a new tune was introduced, all was not
lost. The Rider's basic country sound
still remained firmly intact on their
older numbers. Such favorites as "Loui-

Alive with Energy
By Laura Forman
The Graduate Orchestra's
performance on Friday even-
ing, February 20th in the Fine
Arts Center was truly spectac-
ular. The Recital Hall was
filled to capacity with an ever-
present aura of excitement and
effervescence. Pre-perform-
ance anticipation filled the Hall
with the various musical blend-
ing of sounds bellowing out
from each instrument as the
orchestra warmed up. As soon
as the first violinist appeared
on stage, the intense musical
energy quickly ceased and a
warm, deep-toned tune-up
sound from the entire orchestra
occurred. The evening's per-
formance was ready to begin.
The orchestra's first piece
was Strauss' "Overture to Die
Fledermaus," conducted by
Susan Haig who is presently
working toward her degree of
Doctor of Musical Arts in con-
ducting. The music flowed,
accentuated by crisp, clean,
sweet cries of the violins,
reminiscent of a warm,
summer afternoon breeze.
Beneath the violins, the sup-
porting orchestration was alive
and powerful with a rich, full
sound. The piece was full of

siana Lady,""Panama Red," and "Lone-

Fortunately, rumors that front man
John "Marmaduke" Dawson had quit,
proved false. He and his sidemen Buddy
Cage (pedal steel) and David Nelson
(lead guitar) were all present, in body if
not in spirit. Even with all his charm,
Duke couldn't hide the fact that he and
the Riders had seen better days.
Partly responsible for the bad vibes
was the band's late arrival. According to
a concert coordinator who spoke to
Buddy Cage between sets, someone had
given the band wrong directions, caus-
ing a two hour delay. Cage said it was
impossible to cram two good shows into
the time they had, but that he would do a
couple of shots and try to get into pickin'.
