New Policy is Passed by SA

Non-discrimination is Promised

by Beth Sexer

Central Council passed an SA
non-discrimination policy April 14,

The policy states that all students
should be granted "equal oppor-
tunity in educational programs and
activities...regardiess Of race, color,
disability, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, age or national
origin.*® The policy applies 10 all
SA recognized groups

The decision to create a non
discrimination policy arose after a
proposed SA affirmative action
policy way withdrawn,

The affirmative action policy

which was written In 1980 and
modeled after university policy,
whether
gays and lesbians should be includ:

raised controversy oy

ed as a minority and therefore listed:
the policy, said SA Vice Presi

Affirmative Action
Office is guided by state and federal
guidelines, which do not include
sexual preference, Although an SA
Affirmative action policy would be
independent of the Affirmative Av
tion Office, SA cannot included
sexual preference in such a policy
Central Council member Api

Gray explained that since SA is part
of the university, it cannot have
“conflicting policies!” with the
university.

Both Gray and Affirmative Ac-
tion Researcher Tina Wynn, who
co-wrote the non-diserimination
Polley, agreed that gays and less
bians should be included within an.
equal opportunity policy. ‘The
switeh from an SA affirmative we
tion policy (0 a non-diserimination,
policy means that all minority
groups ate represented, said Wynn,

Included in the new policy are
uilidelines outlining the funetions of
The minority affaliy coordinator
and the Minority Affairs Task
Force, a well as policy for employ

Final Approval Given to Tuition Increase

by Laura Fiorentino

Whether you like it or not, you
will be paying an additional $150
for tuition next fall if you are an
nndergraduate and $300 if you're a
graduate,

’é News Analysis

The final decision came Wednes
day afternoon at a rubber-stamping
session of the SUNY Board of
Trustees where the board voted as
anticipated, and approved the hike,

The one dissenting voice

board's 14-1 voie was that of Stu
dent Association of State University
(SASU) President Jim Stern,

Stein feels the board “gave up
the battle (oo early."* He predicted
that many SUNY students would be
pushed out of college because they
could not afford the cost increases,
along with expected cuts in student
grants and loans,

The tuition hike came as a sure
prise 10 no one, As carly as two
months ago Chancellor Clifton R
Wharton Jr. came before the Joint
Legislative fiscal committees in

favor of the hike and said that even
if the legislature restored SUNY
funds he could not guarantee that
the money would go to offsetting,
he tuition hike,

The move to raise tuition had
received preliminary approval in
February and SUNY officials
already added the $20 million in ©}
pected new revenue to their 1981-82,
budget proposals,

Although the legislature has yet
to pass the state budget, with the
tuition hike for SUNY in it, it
would be very unlikely that this

time any change will occur

SASU Vice President Jani
said they see the situation as
ed, “Students will definitely be pay-
ing $150 more next semester," said
Fine,

The tuition hike received a bar
rage of criticism from both
legislators and students who lam~
basted the board for not asking for
state funds to restore the budget
cuts before imposing a tuition hike,

Buffalo Suspect Studied

BUFFALO, N.Y, (AP) Law enforcement officers re-

soldier from Buffalo, now at Fort Benning, Ga., is a
prime suspect ina serles of slayings of black males in the
Buffalo area last fall. Although the soldier's name has
not been officially made public, records at Fort Benning
showed he joined the Army last Noy. 13 after four
blacks had been shot 10 death here and two black cab

latter spree of killings, one man was stabbed to death in
Buffalo Dec, 29, another was knifed to death in

Council to Complete Budget

by Sylvia Saunders

Central Council is expected to
complete debating and approving
the 1981-82 SA budget next week,
According to Budget Commitice
Chair John Suydam.

Itis the first time in several years
that it came up balanced, Suydam
said. ‘There aren't any major pro-
blems with it. Most of the groups
are satisfied.

He said the biggest complaint
concerned the proposed elimination
Of the OCA coordinator and a
decrease in OCA's funding (see
companying story),

“Other than that, we haven't had
many complaints,!® Suydam said,
thier changes included proposed
ditional funding for certain

due to increased’ membership and
services, Pr

Health Professionals
Club is budgeted to receive $770,

‘budgeted for $1,570 to pay for an

Sports, programming and equip-
ment,

Tower East Cinema (TEC) is also
proposed to be incorporated in the
budget. “They were always in the
red and taking loans,’’ Suydam
said. SA has proposed a $1,500
budget for TEC.

In addition, Nadir, a feature
magazine similar to Tangent, is pro-
posed to be fiinded. Previously, the
magazine received money from
Central Council's emergency fun
ding.

These additions were made possi-
ble by the folding of a number of

groups included in last year’s
budget. But Seriously Folks and

CUE Tries Advisement Reform

This is the second in a series of ar-
ticles on academic advisement on

As evidenced in the 1978 Student
Life Survey and the 1979 Commit-

report, advisement at SUNYA was
considered insufficient by both

How has the university
responded?

According to Weinstock, a similar program has been operating with

‘incredible siccess"” at SUNY Binghamton all year, and he expects the
Program to work as well at SUNYA:

SA will charter the buses from Greyhound to Roosevelt Field at a

IF SA consistently fills up the buses, thereby building up an excess
cash reserve, ticket prices could conceivably be lowered, he said.
Weinstock described the program as having “such potential’ and

foresees eventual expansion"? of the service to Boston and other
nearby cities.
The “Getaway Buses’ will not run on vacation weekends to prevent

competition with the fraternity buses that normally operate during
these weekends. The buses will also not run during the upcoming

“We've moved on suggestions i

for advisement among the people

adding, “What we need is more in-

Accordingly, CUE is developing

While the numbers problem is be-

students and advisors in other areas
hay been a detriment more difficult
to rectify

Schwartz said, “Hardly anybody

While lack of student response to

Central Counel member April Gray challenged the OCA proposal

“The position ean be beiter done by four students at a considerably

call “the busiest protest season

call a “transition period’ from
“scattered, community-based pro-

Won't cause huge, unsightly finger
joints,

That's what Dr. John gould, a
specialist in hand surgery at the
University of Alabama at Birm-

Gould says knuckle cracking
simply causes the nitrogen gas,
which is normally present in joint
tissties, to be displaced with enough
force to make that popping sound,

However, he says the nitrogen
naturally builds back up quite
rapidly to the point that other
knuckle popping can take place.
The surgeon says there appears to
be no real harm in cracking or pop-
ping your knuckles if you wani to

Formula for

Malnutrition

Scott Mi Sommer

Malnutrition, brain damage, death. Ten
million third-world babies a year are destin-
ed to meet this fate as a result of the pro-
liferation of ‘Bottle Baby Disease”
throughout Latin America, Africa and
Asia,

‘Three American companies; Abbot-
Ross, American Home Products and
Bristol Myers; along with the Nestle Com-
pany, a totally Swiss-owned multinational
food processing conglomerate, have engag-
ed in marketing practices of formula which
advance “Bottle Baby Disease,"”

For over a decade these companies —
primarily Nestle, which has over a 50 per-
cent share of the infant formula market —
have made it company policy to convine
third-world mothers that bottle feeding
their babies will lead them towards
healthier, happier lives,

For the overwheln
mothers in the third-world, breastfeeding is
the most economical, convenient and nut.
tional method of nourishing their new born
babies, Doctors and nutrition experts
throughout the world have found mother's
milk to be superior (0 infant formula as a
source of nourishment,
shown that an undernourished mother can
produce healthy mother's milk, without

causing further damage to the mother's
health,

‘One method which Nestle has adopted, is
sending Women in nurses’ uniforms into
hospitals to convince new mothers of the
“virtues!” of bottle feeding, These women
re company-paid employees, who use the
authority that a uniform represenis to
manipulate the minds of these third-world
women, From day one of a newborn's life,
these ‘'milk-nurses!” give the mothers free
samples of formula, lactogen, prepare the
formula properly and ‘hook’ mother and
child on the bottle. If a woman doesn't
breast-feed from the start, she can stop lac-
tating inside of a week and haye her supply
‘of milk dry up,

Another practice engaged by Nestle #0
give hospitals, doctors and other tvalth
professionals ‘gifts,’ both monetary and
material, in exchange for support of their
product, Columnist Jack Anderson has
charged that Nestle has been * laundering”
money to the government of Guatemala

which in turn has assassinated advocates of
breast feeding.

Also Nestle has embarked on a high
powered media campaign in order to sell its
product, This campaign includes billboards
and product labels with happy smiling
babies, cheery songs and slogans, ‘Give
Your Baby Love and Lactogen,'’ and con-
veying the underlying message that their
babies will be like the upper-class, healthy
white bables which are botile fed,

The major problems which occur for the
mothers include having to spend over SO
percent of their income to buy the formula.
This in turn results in women haying (0 over
dilute the formula and not being able to af-
ford the equipment and fuel to sterilize the
bottles and nipples, Also a large amount of
the women live in rural villages which haye
impure water supplies, thus the bottle
becomes thie carrier of disease.

Finally, there is a general
Understanding among the wom
ing proper use of the formula. There
been attempts made at putting picture in-
structions on the label, however as shown in
the CBS documentary “Into the Mouths of
Babes", (1978), Nestle has ordered many

Stores (0 remove the label from the (ins in
order to avoid any resale on the b
market; ergo many formula tins have no
structions on them at all

In 1977, the Infant Formula Action
Coalition, (INFACT), launched a boycott
of Nestle products as a direct action against
the company’s policy concernng the
marketing of infant formula, INFACT's
main demands are that there be a halt to
“all promotion of infant formula in areas
Where their misuse is predictable and
dangerous," and that all infant formula
producers adhere to the World Health
Organization (WHO) code on marketing
practices, which will be voted on next
month. The American companies have
declared a “war on babies’’ by pledging to
ignore any code which is adopted by WHO.

Nestle has decided to resort to a high
level media/propaganda campaign in order
fo combat the growing international
boycott of its products. Last year, they con-
tributed $25,000 to the Ethics and Public
Policy Center in Washington to research
the infant formula controversy and have

To the Editor:

UCB and UAS with the guidance of the
Office of Student Affairs will once again be
presenting an outdoor concert this spring,
‘On May 2, Celebration ‘81 will be held for
the total enjoyment of everyone at
SUNYA. But in order to make this year’s
event a successful one, WE NEED YOUR
HELP!

It would be truly tragic to see
“Celebration ‘81 be our last spring out-
door concert. However, with the problems
created due to the event's growth beyond its
original scope (SUNYA), we haye had to
make several policy changes, These policy
changes cannot be effectively implemented
Without the help of all SUNYA students.

The most notable change will be the
enclosure/of the entire concert area, from
‘Quad to Quad and from Campus Center to
the backstage area, This fence will be
patrolled by several additional security per-
sonnel, Again we need the help of you to
make sure people don't abuse our event by
sneaking in without a ticket, The costs of
this event are tremendious and the man-
datory charge will help offset our additional
expenses, Futhermore, due to this closing
off of the event, more than ever is there a
need to encourage the early purchase of
your Celebration ‘81 ticket, Not only is
there the economic incentive of buying the
first ticket on the tax card at $4.00 and the
second at $6,00 instead of one on the day of
the show for $10.00 if available but several

It clear that Nestle and the other com-
panies have put profits before the lives of

rapidly here at SUNYA and in the Capital

“Well, who cares about school
anyway, The military is O.K., I'll just
Work hard, serve my country and keep
my nose clean,”

As | always say, “Hope springs eter
nal in the hearts of fools.” Oh you could
be good at your job, whatever it was,
but if you don’t cuddle up with your
very sexy, male, short, pudgy and mar-
ried 50 year old supervisor, you could
kiss a good job evaluation, called an
Airman Performance Report (APR),
good-bye or look forward to a daily has-
sle, especially if you had the un-

mitigated gall to report the fact that you
Were being sexually harassed to your
squadron commander,

Besides being continually proposi-
tloned, you could have a confidential
file with derogatory letters or memos
Kept on you. When the file becomes fat
@nough, you could find yourself stan-
ding at attention in the commander's of-
fice objectively discussing Your less than
honorable discharge from the military.
Believe it or not, there were and still are
some good old sergeants who firmly
believe that the women of the 1980's
belong in the kitchen, the bedroom and
ihe nursery — but not necessarily in that
order, They definitely don't believe we
belong in the military.

These fine. upstanding defenders of
‘Our flag, our country and our constitu-
tion also indulged’ in another type of
discrimination. They firmly believed and

still do, that homosexuals most definite:
ly belong in the closet, Gays, who have
always fantasized about leading a life of
duplicity will find the mililary a trip not
to be believed, If you as a gay individual
enter the Air Force, be sure that you are
very discreet, because if you are nol,
you can expect the OSI (the Air Force
CIA) to be a part of your life, My advice
to such Individuals js that you'd belter
make sure duplicity {8 your thing,
because if you are homosexual, bisex-
ual, transexual or any combination
thereof, you won't last any longer than
a snowball in hell

Ih 1975, when | had the great fortune
fo join the Air Force, a Technical
Sergeant ( siripes) named Leonard
Mailovich of Langley AFB, Hampton
Virginia and the home of the Tactical
Air Command admitted his homosex-
ality. He challenged the Air Force in a
{rial and lost, He was promptly
discharged from the military, honorably
of course, even though he v.18 a good
trooper who really loved his job and the
Ait Force. Last year the Supreme Court
decided that the Air Force should re-
instate Sat. Matlovich, but he decided to
take his 5 years of back pay (5 times the
annual salary for a Technical Sargeant)
and stay out of the Air Force, because it
wasn't worth the hassle

If you were fortunate enough not to
have your supervisor or some equally
dashing male lust and grab after your
body, or have the OSI constantly trying
to establish your homosexuality, then
you really had your work cut out for
you. Being good al your job, whether
you were a crackei-jack, air traffic con:
troller or a hash slinger, might earn you
an airman of the quarter award for your
efforts, but not a hefty pay raise
Everybody was promoted at the same
time with the same pay, When you
enter the Air Force at the rank of Alr-
man Basic (0 stripes), you remain at
that rank for six months, after which
you are promoted to an Airman (1
stripe), Six months later, exactly a year

(HAT MORE COULD A GIRL ASIC FOR?

after you entered the Alr Force, you are
Promoted to Airman Ist class (2 stripes)
providing you are fortunate enough not
to fall into any of the above mentioned
traps. After finally receiving your se-
cond stripe, whether you are a good alr-
man of not, you can forget about being
promoted to Senior Airman (3 stripes)
for approximately 2 years. When you
do finally get the litle devil, you will be
groomed for becoming what every good
hard working airman dreams of — a
Sergeant, a non-commissioned officer of
the United States Air Force, with no pay
raise, All that happens when you make
the enormous shift from Senior Airman
to Sergeant Is that you achieve the star
of anon-commission officer (NCO) with
s{ill more responsibility and more peo-
ple getting on your case for one thing or
another. If you like to boss other people
around and step on thelr toes, you get
to do the bossing around, You will nol,
however, be a millionaire, because you
will be getting paid approximately
$7,000 per year for your work as an alr
traffic controller, a hash slinger, or a
bedpan commando.

For those people who are Into geiting
away from the above hassles by vi
tioning with a joint or snoring some
coke, you had betier be prepared to
play hide and go seek with the OSI.
You have to be extremely careful of be

On The Road Again

Utopia Hits A New Stage

nn spite of the fact that it was Easter

GF Sunday, J.B, Scott's was packed,

With eight hundred people flocking

to see Todd Rundaren's Utopia live. I's been

‘@ while since they've played such a small

Venue as J.B, Scott's In this area, and they

seemed (0 get a charge from being so close

to thelr audience, who were very en-
thiislastic.

Laurel Solomon

They opened with a cut entiled "One
World," from thelr forthcoming album Sw:
inging to the Right, which ts due for June
release, The rest of the show accented thelr
fewer albums, although they did dig up a
few classic numbers from earlier ones:

"The Road to Utopia” followed, as well as
“Back on the Sireet” and "Caravan." Next
was “Time Heals," as Todd sald, from "one
‘of the band member's solo albums.” This, of
course, came from Todd's own newly-

Brainstorm

released solo album,’ Healing, which
although he plays all the instruments on the
studio disc, came across very well within the
context of Utopia.

John Willie Wilcox took over on lead
Vocals for a fine rendition of “Crazy Lady
Bile,"" which was followed by another tune
from that soon-to-be-released album called
“The Up." Sandwiched between that and
another new song called “The Last Dollar on
Earth’ (heavy social comment in the Run-
daren vein with sensitive vocals by Roger
Powell) was the classic "Love of the Com:
mon Man, which encouraged much cheer-
ing from the crowd,

“The Wheel’ was anoiher tune which mel
with extraordinary. enthusiasm. It exhibits
Utopia at their best, the whole spirit behind
the band shining through. Even Kasim
Sultan, who seemed to be pretty tired
throughout the show livened up on this one
Todd had the whole audience clapping
along with him, and included some incredi+

ble guitar solos,

More new music followed; cuis from
Adventures in Utopla, Deface the Music,
Healing, and Swing to the Right.
“Lysistrada” contained a make love not war
message, Ironic in that the band was clad in
army camouflage fatigues and T-shirts,
Todd's hair, cut just below his ears, further
limited the hippie image which has
characterized him over the years:

They closed the set with “Love in Action”
and "Last of the New Wave Riders,” leaving
the crowd begging for more, They came
back out to do “Couldn't 1 Just Tell You”
from Todd's Something/Anything. album,
and “Love Is the Answer,” which really
epitomized what Todd and his image to the
public is all about

What probably makes Todd Rundgren so
popular (besides his musical wieardry) is his
accessibiliy. He doesn't put on any airs as so

many rock performers do; he knows that the
people are responsible for his success, and
he appreciates the fact that they go to so
much trouble to see his concerts. He shakes
hands and talks to his fans, and a feeling of
warmth develops which Ihave never seen
before at any other show. Perhaps it is this
special quality, a knowledge that he is “real
people” which makes people go to see him,
again and again, A combination of excellent
musicianship (besides Todd's exceedingly
Jong and illustrious list of credentials, and
reputation as an innovator in many aspects
of the media; Kasim Sultan, Roger Powell
and John Wilcox all have impressive records
of thelr own), and downsto-earthedness
and just plain enthusiasm (you can tell that
they're having a great time up there), make
Utopla one of the best bands to caich in con
cert. Their J.B, Scott's show was one of the
best concerts to have appeared there jn re
cent months, It was Just One Victory in a
fong line of conquests, past and future

up the steps to the house, and he went to
greet her. She opened the front door. step:

Mary walked over to Bill and placed her

“Do they think I can't work? Do they think

and breathed out a small laugh,

“You really are something,” he sald with a
boyish grin.

“love you, my Bill. You know, you're
Just as handsome as you were when you
Were twenty-five,”

They both laughed and fell into each
others arms. Bill'squeezed Mary to him and
sighed con(ent!. He looked around and saw
all the things that gave the room its life — the
beautiful artwork, the blooming plants, the
shining sun — and Mary, She kissed him in
the chest, and her lips were cold — so much
so thal the cold passed through his shirt and
froze on his skin, bringing him back to the
realily of his aifliction, and to the sight of a

harsh frown

Bill was then hoisted up onto the siret

“Hello?” The response was questioning

boy was throwing a ball into the alr, which

about fo land in the boy's hand after a throw,
when all of a sudden the picture changed, It
focused on a man, who came running
through the yard toward the boy. When the
man had caught up with the boy, he stole the
ball, and started to run away with it, The
child pursued the man in playful delight, The
mental picture seemed to be accompanied
by narration, whfch sounded like a whisper

"You know what | think, Mr. McNair? As
a child gets older, he forgets what it's like to.

But it's very difficult to remember the simple
things that make up the minds of litle boys
and girls

The man and boy in Bill's mental picture
‘were still running, and their speed increased
as they ran farther and farther in the yard
They seemed to be aging rapidly with each
new step.

But by the time a man regains an
understanding of the child's mind, it's too
Jate to do anything about it: So he's stuck
with the body of an old man and the mind of
a child.”

The man In Bill's mental picture had now
gotten fo the point of regression. He had
become a litle boy. and the litle boy had
consequently grown to middle age The
now-middie-aged man grabbed the ball

He's so busy trying to please himself that he
can’t even think of understanding old men.”

Bill stared at the beige wall. It had taken
only a few seconds for his hard, life-torn ex:
terior to melt into @ puddle of loneliness.
Which lay on the sheet of his hospital bed
His eyes left the wall and instead began to
observe his chapped, calloused hands. He

be fair.

If funding is optional to NYPIRG, then
it will be more responsive to the needs and
concerns of students, as its funding will de-
pend on it,

A better way to fund NYPIRG would be
to allow students to use the optional check-
off on the bursar payment form. This
would allow students the freedom of choice
to fund NYPIRG, just as students can give
contributions to their class or to S-quad am=
bulance. This method of funding would not
infringe on the rights of students who do
not support the issues that NYPIRG
represents,

{hope that students will exercise their op-
tion 10 protect their freedom of choice and
allow other students to do the sam The
only way to do this is to vote NO on the

Funding Dilemma

To the Editor:

This week students have the opportunity
to vole on the NYPIRO referendum for
allocation of funding from the Student
Association, Many students are not aware
that NYPIRG, an independent political
organization, receives $4,00 per year out of
very student activity fee (the fee is man-
datory for all full-time undergrads), 1 feel
that individual students should be the ones
that make the decision as to give money to
NYPIRG or not.

Siudents should decide for themselves
Whether they wish 10 coniribute to this
political organization just as they have the
‘option to contribute to any other political
group.

If NYPIRG, who call themselves cham:
pions of student rights, are truly worthy of
their own’ praise then they should have no
problem getting students to voluntarily con-
Iribute to thelr cause, Optional funding
Would also make NYPIRG more accoun:
table to students! interest because their {un-
ding would not be guaranteed. Consider
ing the fact that NYPIRG js a political
organization, I believe that this would be a
very healthy attitude for them to have.

It may be argued that students will try 10
el away with the benefits of NYPIRG and
find it a worthwhile organization will not
quibble with a $4 charge on a $1,000.00 tui
tion’ bill, Class dues, for example, are an
optional fee which most students pay

Tam not saying that NYPIRG should not
be funded at all, but only that the money
should be an optional fee and not part of
the mandatory student activity fee. 1 would
Urge all students to vole NO on the
NYPIRG referendum this week

Quality Education

To the Editor:

The United
provides an unequalled arena of oppor
tunities and freedom, The cornersione of
this fr democratic sociely is its public
education system. In. recent weeks and
‘months that free public education system
has come under severe attack, in the name
of economy and the need to fight inflation.

The proposed cuts in federal spending in
education across the country, and in pat
ticular in New York State, will have @
devastating impact. Every single school
district in New York State will feel its im-
pact; and in speaking about schoo! districts,
We are speaking of our most precious com>
modity, our children, who will be the

tates, despite its shortfalls,

leaders of our future democratic society.
Congressmen and women need to hear
from citizens who are concerned about the
loss of programs and opportunities for our
Youngsters. While the proposed. federal
budget reduces other areas of government
by roughly seven percent, the prosed
budget would reduce school -pending by
nearly 30 percent. For New = ork State
alone, the culs 10 schools represent over
$657 million, The burden of replacing pro-
grams will be picked up by local and state
taxes or the needs of children will simply go
unmet
IC is one thing to bring federal spending.
under control; it is quite another thing to
{umn away from the needs of millions of
children, 11 is also false economics to reduce
federal spending on schools by 30 percent
and shift the replacement burden to focal
homeowners who pay school taxes.
Edwin J, Robisch

Association, President

To the Editor:

IL is rightly supposed that the leadership
in SUNY's proud fund raising organiza.
tion, Telethon, would be characterized by
discretion and superiority in judgment,
and considerate, balanced decisions free
from selfish political concerns. It is unfor-
lunate that we have been proven wrong in
these assumptions, We take no pleasure in
disclosing the unthoughtful and damaging
behavior of the appointed teaders of
Telethon ‘81

It Is the highest form of egotism for a
Jeader to believe the system good because it
got him the position. Another form of
egotism is to believe that since he is in the
position he is wise. And yet another form:
since he is wise, as evidenced by his posi-
tion, he is capable of making the best deci-
sion as to who should be the next leader, It
is simply arrogance and irresponsibility for
a leader {0 state that he does not have to
answer to those {o whom he was appointed
{0 lead:

We feel that our best interests have been
betrayed by ihe careless and disrespectful
appointment of the next leaders, not
specifically by who was chosen, for we have
no doubls as 10 their abilities, but by who
specifically was nor chosen. It {s our intent,
as former staff members, 10 appeal the dec-
sion to a body of laws which govern the
procedures of non-profit organizations and
Which were designed in order (0 eliminate
suich scandalous abuses.

We propose an election be called either (0
confirm our leaders’ appointments, or to
alter them, not at another's expense, but as
the proper reward for hard work and

talented leadership.

Election Blues

The election this year has been a sham. It has been marked by
poor scheduling, confusion and lack of participation.

Straddling the campaign over a holiday weekend has caused a
very awkward election. Candidates were given only two days
while school was in session to campaign and because of this they
were only able to reach a limited number of students,

Confusion at the polls has taken its toll, People manning the
polling station yesterday in the Campus Center were unfamiliar
with the election procedure and turned eligible yoters away. And
if you did get a chance to vote, you needed an atlas to figure out
which lever corresponded to which choice.

Although these problems have proven detrimental to the elec-
tion, they are by no means excuses not to vote. The issues at stake
are too important to ignore. Both the outcome of each of the
three referenda and the SA officers elected will affect the life of

every student attending SUNYA.

If you have not yet voted, find the time this afternoon to do so,
If you have already yoted, try to convince others to yote,

Albany Netmen Win Notches 100th For Lewis

by Bob Bellafiore

The task was simple. All the
Albany men’s tennis team had todo
was win once more, and coach Bob
Lewis would have his 100th career
victory, Last week, a beite
prepared Middlebury team delayed
the milestone, but when Union
came to the Dutch Quad courts
Tuesday, nothing was getting in
Albany's way — not the icy-cold
wind and the near-freezing condi-
tions, and certainly not the Union,
tennis team,

Carrying out the task ended up

simpler than Lewis thought, The
Danes completely dominated their
foes from Schenectady by taking all
nine matches — most of them with
comforting ease,

Albany won three of the six
singles contests in straight sets, and
won the first set in all but one, And
in the other three pairings, the
netmen had no trouble getting the
third, When it was time to play
doubles, Albany already had the
match clinched but did not let up,

the shutout,

Third singles player Rob Karen
had the easiest day of all in beating.
Tom Lestena by successive 6-2
Scores, Number (wo man Fred
Gaber had a similar lack of difficul-
ty and did away with Dwight Moore
in straight 6-3 sets, Fifth player An-
dy Diamond squeaked by in the
first set (7-6) 0 slam the door shut
‘on Union’s Steve Eskanazi in the s
cond, 6-2,

In the contests that went the
distance, Albany always recovered

ave Ulrich made the best com-

eback. After losing the opening set
to John Antiles, 4-6, Ulrich
manhandled him, 6-3, 6-1 {0 win

Top Albany player Barry Levine
sandwiched a 4-6 loss to Barry
Rosenberg between 6-2 and 6-1
wins, Russ Kasow, playing in the
sixth slot, took the first set over
Dave Katz, 6-2. Katz rebounded for
a 61 win in the middle set, but
Kasow efficiently squashed his
hopes with another 6-2 victory in
the final set.

Gaber, Karen and Ulrich, Kasow

Russ Kasow won (wo matches including one of only three Dane
‘wins against a talented Middlebury squad, (Photo: Dave Asher)

‘and Dave Lerner all won their pro-
Set matches by 8-4 scores.

Strong winds and cold weather
do not make for top-notch tennis,
but Albany overcame the condi-
tions in classic style, While the
Dane netmen may not have played
{0 the best of their ability, they cer-
tainly performed well enough to
win

“Whenever you have a cold and
windy day, it's hard to play well,”
Lewis sald, “'But you have to adjust
