"It is taken for granted that a poster Is legitimate,” sald Director of Student Programming Richle Golubow.

SA misses anti-semite poster

By Liz Relch
STAFF WAITER

A number of anti-Semetic posters had to be taken down
Friday afternoon due to their offensive message, even
though they were approved by the Student Association, ac-
cording to Student Activities Director James Doellefeld,

The posters announced a Druid Lodge ‘Getting Ac-
quainted Ceremony" and advertised to “try the
alternative.”

The poster also stated that after the ceremony there
would be a human sacrifice followed by revelry."* This
was seen as a ‘blatant assault aimed at Jewish students,"
said SA Director of Student Programming Richie
Golubow

The handwritten black and white poster states that Druld
Lodge would meet at Chapel House, 9 p.m. Thursday
September 29. "'We are trying to analyze the poster for
what it really says,” said Golubow. The most prominent
Iettering on the poster says “try the alternative,"” and RZA
stands for **Revisionist Zionist Alternative," he explained.

“The Druid Lodges were a pagan cult and we think the
‘human sacrifice followed by revelry’ refers to the death of
Christ and the celebration that followed, The ‘Getting Ac
quainted Ceremony? listed on the poster was at the same
day and time as a Simchat Torah party sponsored at Chapel
House by the Jewish Student Coalition-Hillel and RZ/
There was a concentration of these posters on Dutch Quad.
I believe the fact that there is a Koscher meal plan on
Dutch, which a lot of Jewish students use, has a lot to do
with the posters being put up ther

No one scems to know the exact number of posters
printed, JSC-Hitlel President Cheryl Smith said “they were
Visible on Dutch Quad, but not plastered all over."

Neither SA nor RZA knows who is responsible for the
poster, ‘We have notions of who did this, but can’t say,
said Golubow. RZA President Steve Hilzenrath said,
“Whoever put the posters up is sick, There are a lot of
crazies out there. You can't point a finger unless you have
evidence, which we don't.””

Golubow expressed concern that the poster was approv

SA for posting. ‘It is taken for granted that a poste
nate. No one is checking it,”” he said.

Posters are date-stamped at the Campus Center Informa
tion desk only if the: events sponsored by
recognized campus organizations,"” according to the SA
Exterior Poster Policy.

“This poster should not have been stamped because it
does not reflect. sponsorship of the activity,’? said
Doellefeld, Somebody made a mistake and stamped it. 1
don't know who it was."”

The poster approval policy was explained by an
anonymous Graduate Student Assistant who works at the
Campus Center Information Desk. ‘There are 40 student

Assistants who work at the desk and five graduate assistants
who are in charge of the desk. Approximatey 10 to 15
posters are submitted for approval every day. Most are
looked over carefully. Usually one or two a week are con-
sidered offensive. Often it is stuff against women. When
Someone submits an offensive poster we send them to see
Jim Doellefeld,’” he said,

Doellefeld attributes the poster's approval to the fact
that “there are many student assistants at the Campus
Center Itiformation Desk. Because they are new, they are
inexperienced, Whoever authorized this is a new employee.
This is the kind of mistake that can occur early in the fall
semester, but I Would be surprised to see It later on in the
year,"

“IL is very subjective as to what is considered offensive,
For example, last year a sexual term was used in a funpy
Way to advertise a party on Indian. It was not meant (o be
offensive, but some girls came in to complain,’ the
graduate student assistant added

He also said that the poster policy is vague because non
campus organizaions can submit posters for approval, but
they can only be hung on the two octagons in front of the
Campus Center. 11 could be anything from ‘roommate
wanted" to an advertisement for a bar. But it could not be

ything offensive."

Doellefeld said, ‘1 sent a person out Tuesday and asked
them to remove all the posters they could locate on the
podium and they found one, The next day they found a
number located on Dutch Quad,”

SA plans to make the poster approval policy more str=
ingent by recognizing only those campus organizations for
Which they have the name of a contact person, Golubow ex-
plained, “this is a grey area within SA. We have cards on
file for groups but no members listed as contact people for
the groups.””

To remedy this, Golubow has “given Peg Aldrich of Stu:
dent Activities a list of all the currently recognized groups
and she is updating them on a word processor."

Golubow does not believe offensive posters will be SA
approved in the future due to "the awareness of this poster
People at the Information Desk are going to be watching
for posters like this."*

Hilzenrath stated, ‘as far as future haras
will haye to wait and sce, but chances are if the person does
it again they will be caught.”

Doellefeld said he can't be sure how many offensive
posters are printed by students, “I ask the student
assistants at the Information Desk to send to me people
that want posters to be printed that are sexist, racist, anti:

ped, Most of the people never
come down the hall {0 see me. The just disappear."

He called this incident “an act of harassment which 1 will
not tolerate,"’ and said, "The United States Constitutional
rights will be preserved on this campus. ia)

Minorities question
enforcement of
equal access policy

~ By Alicia Cimbora

"The State University of New York at Albany provides
equal access to all those qualified and prohibits denial of
access on the basis of any personal characteristic that is
ot related to a person's ability to perform {n a position,
to be successful academically or to observe the standards
and regulations governing the use of es and pro-
grams. This policy spe ally Includes matters of sexual
preference but is not limited to them, .

This policy statement, issued May 7, 1980, is the official
standard of the University at Albany on equality of op=
portunity. The questions are: how effective (sit, and how
do university groups vulnerable to the types of diserimina-
tion described in the policy feel about its effectiveness?

Gloria DeSole, the Director of Affirmative Action, said
she felt that the discrimination policy is a very relevant
issue and that its importance should not be
underestimated, She also said SUNYA is a forerunner in
this type of policy, and that in light of the delicate subject
matter, handles it very smoothly,

Presently being considered is the possibility of a
statewide non-discrimination policy which would impose
a policy similar to SUNYA’s on all state institutions,
DeSole sald,

Some groups on campus feel the policy is ambiguously
enforced, and others question whether it is enforced at all,

Eddie Edwards, the president of Albany State Universi-
ty Black Alliance (ASUBA), said that one of the biggest
problems ix luck of information among students and
subsequent Inck of communication with the ad-
ministration, **Policy Is one thing,'’ he said, ‘but en-
forcement is another,

This sentiment was evoked by the president of the
Albany chapter of the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People (NAACP), Duncan Bailey.
“The policy in Itself is a good one, but the problem lies in
the people it governs,"? he said,

One specific act of discrimination in apparent violation
of university policy is the exclusion of homosexuals from
upper level courses in the military Reserve Officers Train-
ing Corps (ROTC), Officials of the SUNYA Gay and Les-
bian Alliance (GALA) contend that by allowing an ROTC
office on campus, the university violates its own policy.

Mark Eagle, a member of GALA, said that although he
has no intention of joining ROTC, he is “annoyed and
frustrated'’ at not being able to participate if he so chose,

According to Capt, David P, Conghran, an ROTC in-
structor at Siena College, basic freshman and sophomore
courses are not restricted on the basis of sexual
preference, but in the junior year, a contract is ired
which specifically relates to sexual preference,

Conghran emphasized that the law prohibiting the in-

ction of homosexuals into the military is a Congres-
sional law — not a military law.

ROTC representatives at the SUNYA gym Were not
available for comment on the issue.

Volcano and quake hit

Tokyo
(AP) A volcano spewed lava, smoke and hot
cinders over the Pacific Island of Miyakejima
Monday, engulfing one village in lava and ig-
niting fires that destroyed another. Hours
later, a strong earthquake rocked the island.
One person was reported missing in the
eruption, but there were no other immediate
reports of casualties. The eruption reportedly
cut off electric service on the Japanese island
and a three-inch ashfall forced the airport to
close,
The earthquake registered 6.1 on the
ichter scale of ground motion and was felt
as far away as Tokyo, 112 miles north of
Miyakejima.

Marines on alert

Beirut
(AP) Mortar and small arms fire struck
Lebanese army positions near Beirut airport
Monday sending U.S. Marines into bunkers
and foxholes for the first time since a cease-
fire halted Lebanon's civil war a week ago.

Warrant Officer Charles Rowe, a Marine
spokesman, said about 30 Marines of the
1,600-man U.S. contigent of the multina-
tional force in Beirut went to ‘condition
one’ - the highest alert - for 30 minutes at
midmorning while Lebanese army positions
at the nearby Khalde highway intersection
were under attack. It was not clear who was
doing the shooting.

No shells or bullets strayed into the Marine
compound at the airport and the Marines
emerged from bunkers and foxholes when
the firing tapered off, Rowe said.

Despite the latest truce violation, the rival
factions of Lebanon's civil strife continued
their attempts to fortify the cease-fire which
went into effect Sept. 26.

U.N. weighs proposal

Beirut
(AP) The United Nations reportedly is con-
sidering a compromise proposal to let Syria
choose which countries would supply
observers to a U.N, force that would oversee
the cease-fire in Lebanon,

The independent Beirut newspaper An-
Nahar said Monday the formula is being
studied at the United Nations and that Syri
favored observers from Greece, India and
Yugoslavia to monitor the cease-fire, which
entered its second week today,

An-Nahar, whose publisher Ghassan
Tueni is a political adviser to president Amin
Gemayel, attributed its reports to uniden-
tified Western diplomatic sources in Beirut
but did not say who proposed the com-
promise,

The Gemayel government and contributing
nations of the multinational peacekeeping
force - the United States, France, Italy and
Britain - have been pressing for a 600-man
observation force under direct U.N., contro

A federal trial judge, later supported by

Task force is tight-lipped about alcohol policy

By Jim O'Sullivan
STAFF WAITER

At the University’s newly-formed Alcohol
Task Force's first meeting, Student Associa-
tion Vice President Jeff Schneider presented
a student petition with 2,134 signatures ask-
ing that the entire interim alcohol policy be
abandoned until the new policy is in effect.
At the one-and-a-half-hour session, the
group decided that no public statements
would be made until the new policy was sub-
mitted to Vice President for Student Affairs
Dr. Frank Pogue.

Karlen Karlson, director of the Off
Campus Housing Office and an ad-
ministrator on the task force, said that the
committee “would not make any public
statements until a final policy is turned into
Dr. Pogue,"’

The interim policy raised an immediate
outery of protest when it was announced at
the beginning of the semester, because it was
not specific, called for all parties serving
alcohol to have various licenses and permits
and forbade the drinking of alcoholi
beverages in most public areas on the quads,

The interim policy was issued by the Office
of Residential Life. Its primary purpose was
to bring the SUNYA campus into line with
the new 19-year-old drinking age for the state
of New York,

Schneider complained that the policy
“makes RA's the bad guys"? because itis "'s0
vague that the RA's don’t know exactly what
the policy states,"* Schneider also said that he
nd the four other students on the committee
demanded that the RA's be notified of what
they have to enforce and what they don't
have (0 enforce,

he has not strenuously enforced the policy,

ties with drinking to be held in the basement

Nuclear freeze walk draws hundreds Saturday

By Kris Reffelt

About 200 people gathered on
the steps of the Capital building in
Albany Saturday for the start of
one of 250 nationwide
freeze walks.

Excited whispers filled the air in
Anticipation as Albany Mayor
Thomas Whalen III grected the
walkers who had joined together to
call for « halt of the nuclear arms
race, ‘

Whalen said he fully endorsed the
freeze campaign, and that he hoped
“great, glorious things’? would oc-
cur as a result of the walk,

lames Dricoll, head of the Upper
Hudson Nuclear Freeze Campaign,
read a letter written by the late
Mayor Erastus Corning 11, which in
effect, advocated all measures
taken by Americans to halt the pro:
duction of nuclear weapons, Corn:
ing wrote that he saw the need to
“save the world fromm disaster" by
eventually eliminating
weapons altogether

The group, consisting of citizens
of all ages, began the 6,2-mile walk
through Albany prompily. after
Whalen finished speaking shortly

The cloudy skies overhead didn't
put a damper on the march iiself,
but seemed instead to add to the air
of determination towards the
nuclear arms question, Jeanne
Casatelli, walk coordinator for the
Upper Hudson Nuclear Weapons
Freeze Campaign, noted that for
many people, the walk was the
“first chance (o stand up and be
counted."

Patricia Beetle, head chairperson
for the Upper Hudson Campaign,

Historian stresses importance of tricentennia|

By Robert Longobocco

For many, the celebration of Albany
County's tricentennial is either a reason to be
dazzled by fireworks or to be annoyed by
tricentennial minutes on television; but,
historian C,R, Roseberry believes that it
should mean a great deal more to Albany
residents, “The tricentennial has real
significance, It is a reminder to the people of
the date of the county's finding and the im-
portance of Albany County, Also, the count
has never celebrated a centennial before,
sald Roseberry,

Roseberry spoke before 36 people at the
Recital Hail in the Performing Arts Center
on Sunday afternoon. He was commissioned
by the county to write Albany, A County for
300 Years, as part of the activities connected
with the tricentennial.

His lecture centered on events in New York
State and England 300 years ago, ‘The Euro
pean background is very important. Becaust

from the book, did extra work and research.
for the lecture that I didn't do for the book
50 it (the lecture) had added significance,"
stressed Roseberry.

On the American side of the ocean, New
York governor Thomas Dognan oversaw the
important events, explained Roseberry,
Under his leadership, ‘The Charter of
Priviledges"’ was formed in 1683, he note:
Besides having a liberal religious tolerance
clause, the charter was the first time in
history that the word "people'’ was mention-
ed in a government document as a recipient
of a fair government, according tc
Roseberry. He noted that "The convention
that convened to write the charter was the
first instance of freely elected representative
delegates gathering to make laws which affect
them." The charter created the eleven
original counties of New York who all share
thelr tricentennial this year, he said, At its in-

ception, Albany County was larger than the
other ten, combined, and it occupied much
of what is now Vermont, Roseberry added,

Roseberry said that since that historical
document, Albany has had a rich and enter-
taining history. In the American revolution,
few places can claim as important a role as
Albany County, ‘The Revolutionary War is
my favorite aspect of all of Albany history, It
was a dramatic and far reaching event.
Albany was so central to the climax of the
war in the north, Everything revolved around

ment had finally settled in Albany. But one
detail was left unfinished," he said. ‘In
1971, an assemblyman discovered that
Albany was never pfficially named the
capital, so a bill to that effect was put
through. The establishment of the capital
‘was the biggest event changing Albany from
a Dutéh community to an important city in
the state,"" he stated.

Roseberry noted that the institution that
Albany has contributed to the nation is the

ups.

Governor Thomas Dugan formulated a “Charter of Privaleges” creating Albany County

Albany, even more so than New York,"
stated Roseberry,

The Revolutionary War in Albany was an
important development in American history,
but, Roseberry noted, the establishment of

Ibany as the capital of New York was the
most important development in County
history, and took over 150 years to happen.
‘“When New York State was first created, the
legislature met as it traveled beiween New
York and Albany, Eventually they couldn't
carry all the documents, $0 in 1797 they voted
to store the documents in Albany,"’ explain-

political machine with its origins dating back
to the early nineteenth century, “Martin Van
Buren organized Albany's first machine
before he became Andrew Jackson's Vice-
President. Then Thurlow Tweed came to
town and started the Albany Journal and the
Whig party," he explained. “The final
transformation of the machine began in the
1890s with the Republican machine of
Barnes, One of his henchmen, Daniel P,
O'Connell, became the Democratic leader
but used the tricks and tactics of the
Republicans to start the machine that (late

mayor) Erastus Corning inherited,

Ing flowers. He seemed genuinely upset by
what he had done and he promised Lisa it
would never happen again, Ed spent the next
few weeks being exceptionally kind and con-
siderate. Their relationship seemed to be

stronger than ever...

Three months later Ed slaped Lisa for smil-

ig at a guy at a party.

The fictional case study cited above is just
one example of a pattern found to be com-
mon in most incidents of relationship
violence according to Mary Beth Collier,
Outreach Coordinator at Middle Earth
Counseling Center,

Theresa Zubretsky, a counselor at Families
n Crisis outlines three phases which
characterize such relationships; ‘The first
phase is a Tension Building phase in which
the frustration of the batterer manifests
itself, The second phase is the acute battering
incident in which the actual physical and ver
bal abuse occur.'” According to Zubretsky,
“Relationship violence is not limited to
physical abuse, The third and final phase ts
the Honeymoon period which serves to
Strengthen the emotional ties between the

two, It is often a renewal of the feeling that
brought the two together in the first place.
‘The battering person generally apoligizes and
promises the battered that it will not occur
again,”

Battering within boyfriend-girlfriend rela-
tionships on college campuses is on the rise,
Libby Post, media director of the Student
Association and coordinator of Women's
Safely Awareness Days, said that people
often assume that relationship violence does
‘not go on at a University campus,Post stress-
ed, however, that this campus Is a microcosm
of the rest of the world; what goes on out
there goes on here, "Men don’t wait until
they're married to batter women,'" she said,

Residencial Life, aware of the problems
women face on campus, is attempting to help
‘women who face abuse problems, They sald
information is difficult to obtain, however,
because incidents of physical abuse tend to be
hushed up. Assistant Director of Residence
Life John Murphy indicates that roommates,
suitemates and close friends are reluctant to
report it or to intervene, “They tend to be
embarassed and to have an ‘Ill mind my own
business’ aititude,"”

Alcohol plays a key role in physical abuse:
on campus, According to Zubretsky, 78 per-
cent of reported fights and assaults in the
dorms involve alcohol, and in 80 percent of
all incidents of relationship violence, aleotio!
is factor,

Hank Yost, a mental health professional
Volunteer for the Men’s Coalition Against
Battering, said that the violence also occurs
When the couple is thrown together for a
number of hours, when studying, for exam-
ple, or on weekends, The violence often oc-
curs only in private and tends not to occur in
4 public atmosphere, Yost gocs on to say
abusive relationships characterize nine per-
cent of all relationships.

Batierers are not mentally unstable or
crazy,"” explained Yost, "Battering {sa learn-
ed style of coping, usually observed sin
childhood," A. batterer's family history
follows a pattern of domestic violence, so he
has learned no other effective method of
dealing with his emotions, said Yost,
Violence becomes an outlet for his emotions,
he noted, It is also an effective way for the
batterer to maintain control, Yost added. If

Returning students on the increase at SUNY;

By Mike Taubleb
STAFF WRITER

Many of SUNYA’s 11,000-plus
undergraduates do not fit into the typical
mold of an 18-22-year-old straight out of
high school. There are hundreds of male and
female undergraduates each year over
twenty-five years old who take credited
courses at SUNYA. They can be classified as
a unique group at this university that over the
years has been increasing.

The number of returning students has been
increasing steadily, relative to the total
undergraduate population over the last seven
years, from 867 (8.5 percent) in 1976 to 1106
(9.7 percent) in 1981. “'The percentage of
Women to men has grown even more
significantly over this same period from a
fifty-fifty split to $9 percent-41 percent in
favor of women," according to Director of

“Besides school work, women are also
responsible for a home, spouse, part-time job
and children,

“There is a displacement problem,"" she
noted, with many returning women who
“have never had to support themselves, and
now suddenly find themselves feeding
children, holding down a job and taking
courses,”

Another problem she explained is “learn-
ing how to study again, since most returning
students have been out of an educational en-
vironment for five to 15 years, and are com-
peting against younger undergraduates who
are fresh out of high school and geared
towards learning." Much of this unfamiliari-

Campus scientists have arctic weather in July

While students and faculty
sweated it out this summer in
Albany, two scientists from the
State University of New York at
Albany were contending with the
January-like weather in a remote
part of the Arctic Circle.

Julie Samson and Stephen Bar-
hard, of the Univerity’s At-
mospheric Sciences Research
Center, withstood 10 degree
Fahrenheit days while collecting ice,
air, and snow samples to bring back
to Schenectady, New York.

“We left on a 90 degree July

Hhomenclature for this mix of styles and In:
fluences) begins deep in the studio, where an
nsistent, unique percussion line is laid
down, Here, the rhythm instruments trans:
fcend their traditional roles as anchors and
become the foundation of each song. From
there, the vocals play off the beat In a sort of
Mi Yang relationship, each capable of

the members’ newfound creative freedom

they arguably went overboard with a desire
to play around — witness the song "My

As with anything experimental, the forms
utilized by the group are imposing upon first
listening, and it takes a while to get on friend:
ly terms with the record, but it’s worth it. First
to catch on \s probably “Lined Up," the
single from the album. With time, however,
the listener will become more and more im:
mersed. New textures continue to creep up;
insights into the lyrics steadily emerge.

For the record, nothing here Is particularly
like anything that these artists have done
before. The closest reference point is the
Gang of Four, but the sources of
Shriekback's music are global and historical,

Perhaps the best thing about Shrelkback is
their refusal to fall Into the now-raditional
vices of synth-rock: cold, unfeeling textures,

Moments of lyrical pretentiousness pop up

A Woman’s Primal Fear

ape Is one of the most difficult

words to define, for there exist 50

many myths and lies about it,
Society perpetuates myths such as “all
Women want to be raped," “rape Is en-
Joyable to a woman once she relaxes," etc
These myths are heaved at the public
through such media as pornography and
Iiterature, and legitimized by so-called ex-
Perts such as Freud, who claimed that
women want to be raped, for that is how
they become sexual beings,

Ken Dornbaum

_ On Wednesday night, September 27, a
showing of the film Primal Fear (Mourir a
Tue Tete) evoked shock, anger and terror
from a mostly female audience. Mede by
Anne-Clalre Poirier and produced by the
National Film Board of Canada, the film is
about the rape of a young Quebecolse
woman named Suzanne and her emotional
numbness she experiences after the rape.
Yet the film was more than Just a story. It
was an Indictment of the patriarchal society
which hates and controls women by
mutilating thelr bodies, by sexual and
physical assault, and by belitiing such
prevalent pornography.

Primal Fear is an outstanding film shot in
three modes of realities: that of the victim
Suzanne, that of the filmmaker, and that of
another dimension; the history and subse-
quent enforcement of violence against
Women.

All this means that there were three points
of view — the analytical, the emotional and
the historical — which combined create a
persuasive argument that rape is not a "'sex
crime.” These aspects are Interwoven within
the texture of the film, $0 as to portray the
total destructive forces of rape.

The film opens with women of all ages and
races identifying thelr rapists, bringing im:
mediately a polarized feelings of terror and

The story line then follows the victim
Suzanne, @ nurse, who left her shift one
night at the hospital and proceeded to walk
down the dark streets when she was grabbed
by her assailant, who placed a knife at her
throoat and proceeded to force her Into the
back of his van a few yards away, What
follows next Is a most graphic scene of her
rape — one that was disturbing and
revoking, yet all the more Important to the
film.

‘Throughout the rape scene the audience
sees only the rapist; we are witnessing the
ape through Suzanne's eyes, When he
strikes her, the screen Is blackened. We only
hear her cries of fright and pain, drowned
out by his incessant misogynous comments,
like “You'll pay for the others, slut,” “Ii
show you why you're here, fucking cunt"
land “You and your dirty female body.”
The rapist, a young, average-looking
‘man, binds Suzanne with rope into a spread:
eagle position and then proceeds to rip off
her clothing with a knife, His sadistic actions
continue when he urinates on his victim In
full view of the camera and then penetrat
her forcefully

This scene easily could have been por-
nographle, as rape scenes are prevalent in
pornographic, as well as other films. The on:
Iy difference is that the reaction of the victim
lis a lie, As evidenced in this movie, no
Woman would ever consent to such torture
land degradation, No woman could recelve
pleasure from rape,

The film continues by giving various
| background to this particular story (based on
truth), as the two filmmakers discuss the rape
‘scene, commenting that men who had seen
It were sexually aroused.

One of the most disturbing moments of
the film was old footage of an African tribal
ritual; a clitorectomy where a young girl has
‘her sex organs mutilated by a knife. Another
was an Imaginary confrontation with a male

solidarity,

Judge, who represents the patriarchal
@stablishment and) hundreds of victims of

‘quotes from.
Quebec law defining rape, and we see how
Unfeeling, unsympathetic and belitling the
law sto victims of rape,

Between these flashes of different realities,
the audience witnesses the further degrada:
tion of Suzanne by various police and
hospital employees, One police officer asks
‘Suzanne why the rape lasted so long, Subse:
quently, she returns home to her somewhat
sympathetic but Impatient boyfriend Pierre,
who at first relays his sympathy, but In a
short span of time demands her body, which
he views as his possession, Without the pro:
per support, and with the Isolation and
society-generated feelings of humiliation and
shame, Suzanne sinks Into a valley of
depression, fear and self-hatred, As evidenc-
‘ed by the tone of the film and attitudes of
soclety, blame is fixed upon the victim for
violent, aggressive acts over which she had

no control,
Feeling as she does, Suzanne commits

he narration of the film points out
that she died during the rape and only her
vital organs kept her alive, Her will to live
Was stolen by the rapist, There are Just some
things you can never overcom«

One message conveyed in the film Is that a
rape {s the total destruction of the woman
and everything Inclusive, Like an antique
vase shattered Into millions of pleces which
con be glued together, there will always be
cracks, or profound wounds, which change
the structure of the woman

In conclusion, this flawless film
demonstrates that rape Is a reality and a ter-
rorizing of women. Although many rapes do
nol encompass the Intense violence that
Suzanne's did, such acts of aggression and
brutality do Indeed exist, and are Ignored,
belitled, or, worst of all, looked upon as the
foult of the victim. Showing this makes this
{ilm especially Important, Primal Fear should
be viewed by everyone, Maybe lis impact
would change society forthe better,

“Blister In the Sun” sets the pace and overall
theme of Violent Femmes — a satirical look
at male egocentrism.
“When I'm out walking, 1

go on like | blister in the sun. . ."’
“Kiss Off’ is a much more Impressive
song, with a hook that could snag even the
warlest of listeners. Gano begins the baiting
process during this cut. We Indulge in his
dramatic self-pity: “. . .I take one, one, one
‘cause you Iyft me/and two, two, two for my
familly/and three, three, three for my hear-
taches/and four, four, four for my

reponse: , . .you can all ust kiss off into the
air/behind my back 1 can see them

From here on, Gano can do no

The lyrics are often harsh and unusudlly
blunt, giving the songs an uncommonly.
Poetic “stream of consciousness” that
separates the Violent Femmes from other ar-,
‘ists who conjure up feelings of lost loves and
other frustrating life experiences.

Gano Is a genius of emotional expression.
He whimpers, he whispers, he yells, and he
cries, He leaves no vocal inflection unex-
plored. The music becomes alive — each cut
seoms like a one-act performance

The Song “Add It Up" Is an ardent diplay
of male heterosexual behavior: "Why can't I
just get one screw/why can't I Just get one
screw /believe me I'd know what to do/but
something won't let me make love to
you, . ." He plays this primordial desire off
another, that of anger: ",. .day after day/1

sight/when I'l take a bow and say good:

And angry he is. Gano has no qualms
about revealing his ulter frustration with life

You stay with me/just a little longer./It

The music of the Violent Femmes is an in-
{genlus collaboration of sounds from the 60's,
70's and 80's, The influences of such great
artists as Lou Reed and Jonathan Richmond
are evident, but not so overpowering as to
steal from the Femmes’ originality. Basically,
thelr sound {s a combination of the solid,
twangy bass from the fingers of Brian Rit
hie, and the marching snare drum rythms
of Victor Delonenzo, The key to thelr suc:
cess, though, has to go to the distinctively
harsh vocals of singer-songwriter Gordon
\Gano,

The Violent Femmes is one of the hottest
records of 1983, no doubt, On October 5,
(that's tomorrow) they will be at the Chateau
"Lounge in downtown Albany. Opening for
them will be the Vergo, who recently relwas
‘ed an EP entitled Habitual,” which has for
tunately received a good deal of attention at
major college stations in the northeast,
especially here at SUNYA's WCDB, The
most successful songs on the EP are
"Understand" and “Hypocrisy.” Like the
Violent Femmes, they are a three-ma
|'band: Tom Rela, guitar and lead vocals,
Tom Murray, bass and vocals, and ??7?? on
drums, Thelr live performances are loud, fast
and full of honest energy.

Back in the summer, I saw them at the
Rock Against Reaganomics benefit. Lying on
the stage before them was a wreath used to
‘commemorate the death of soldiers on
Memorial Day, During one ‘of thelr songs,

Wreath arid began to rip it to shreds, They

Sunday to continue our year-and half-old policy
that keeps military advertising out of this paper.

It was not an easy decision, Every editorial position
taken by this newspaper is subject to review by the nine
editors and managers that make up the Editorial Board,

And these nine people have values and beliefs as diverse
As any group of nine people, We don't follow any ideology
‘or dogma; we are an independent newspaper in politics and
finances,

Ever since the university administration decided to
welcome Army ROTC to this campus in 1981, it has been
opposed by student leaders — especially representatives of
say and lesbian students,

Gays and lesbians are not wanted in the military. The
Marines feel that loving a member of your own sex is $0
disabling that one official told us last year a homosexual
pilot is no better than a one-legged flyer,

Homosexuals discovered in the military are quickly
discharged with less-than-honorable status, Gays and les-
bians are barred from ROTC commissions and scholarships
because their sexual orientation is a ‘‘medical disqualifica-
Uion."” Because of this blatant discrimination, student
leaders opposed ROTC’s presence on our campus.

In May 1980, this campus specifically barred discrimina-

T he Albany Student Press Editorial Board decided

The answer still is no

tion against gays and lesbians. In a letter by President Vin-
cent O'Leary, the university pledged its support for people
unfairly discriminated against on this basis.

Activists explained that this policy conflicted with an
agreement the administration signed with Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, extending their ROTC program to
this campus. This policy allows the military professor to
select students who take the classes, and an ROTC pro
mitted that it could allow him to drop gay and les
students,

We were drawn into this fracas when a gay leader ex-
plained to us that we were endorsing this discrimination by
running military ads, The ads describe substantial scholar-
ships and valuable training, but don't mention that
homosexuals need not apply. There is the valid point,
however, that the ads never claim that ROTC is an equal
opportunity employer, Yetomitting their discriminatory
policies is so significant that it amounts to a lie.

Obviously, the very nature of advertising stretches the
truth to a certain extent, but we felt then and feel now that
fact Is not sufficient justification for giving tacit approval
to outright untruths,

We told the military that they had to say in their ads that
they don't accept gays or lesbians, They refused to do so,
and we refused to run the deceptive ads,

Because intelligence agencies like the Central Intelligence
Agency and National Security Agency also discriminate
against homosexuals, we applied the same rule to their ads

We estimate that our actions to prevent deceptive adver,
tising has cost us $7,000 to $8,000 a year in advertising
That's about 8 percent of our annual budget — quite 4
significant amount, especially for a paper that gets all of ig
revenue from ads,

We don't like to tell people they can't advertise with us
We like the money, and by denying advertising space
there's a potential for denying free speech,

But we will not run ads that lie, are obscene or sei legal
products or services, The military and intelligence agencies
lie by not informing readers that gays and lesbians are not
accepted, and we don't let people lie on our pages.

We've always made it clear to the military that we'll run
their ads if they include in them a statement that they
discriminate against homosexuals, but no one’s taken us up
on the offer.

But the removal of advertising revenue isn't enoug!
force us to change our minds, The consensus of people
this paper remains that so long as the military and in
telligence agencies lie in their ads, they won't be read inthis

paper.

Need for a critical review

We, as students, are all victims of “learned apathy", A
process slarted soon after birth in which we are told by the
political structure, the education system, and Madison
Avenue what our priorities in life should be, We are not
taught how to defend against defective cars which endanger
‘our lives, or of chemical dumping which destroys our en-
vironment, of minority housing and employment ine-
qualities, or of the depletion of social services as the
military builds for destruction,

go. Why should students be so blessed? Because, to cut
from the budget, some constituency must be affected,and
as long as legislators wish to be reelected, they will cut from
the group that doesn't vote,

It is necessary therefore,that students carefully
reevaluate their role as students,to decide what they do
because they wish to do {t, and what they do because they
have been conditioned to do it. In the book, Action for a
Change--A Student's Manual for Public Interest Organiz-
ing, which in 1972 outlined the structure for the first
student-run, student-directed Public Interest Research
Group (PIRG), Ralph Nader wrote that, "Parallel with civil
rights, anti-war efforts, ecology, and other campus causes,
which have ebbed and flowed, the role of students within
universities has become a stressful controversy which has
matured many students and some faculty in a serious
assessment of their relation to these institutions and to
society at large," In our culture, students are encouraged
to stay young (read:ingnorant) as long as possible and are
denied the lattet half of their rights in their dual role as stu-
dent and citizen, Students have the resource facilities, im-
agination, time and pure numbers to effectively impact on
major public policy decisions, but lack an organized struc-
ture to focus theit energies. PIRGs provide the kind of
training which the classroom does not offer. The fun-

students, addressing the issues that students/citizens deem
to be of major importance. In addition, by being non

which may limit their potential courses of action. /iRGs
are by no means the cure-alls and the end-alls of social

Students must become an organized voting constituency

From the Editor

This is the first of eight sports supplements that
will be published this year, A new addition to the
ASP, the sports supplement will enable us to write
‘on areas of the sports world that we are unable to
cover in the regular issues.

‘A major goal of these issues Is to go beyond the
SUNYA campus and look at the rest of the sports
world, In this issue the cover story focuses on the
rise of women in intercollegiate sports. In addition,
this month’s interview Is with Pam Kruse, an Olym-
pic medal winner for the United States, She pro-
vides insight into what participating in the Olym-
pics Is like and how it has affected the rest of her
life.

Columns and opinions on professional and major
college sports is another area that will be covered.
Mark Levine and Rob Rafal provide this month's
views on major league baseball, In the future we
hope to run stories on football, pro and college
baskethall and hockey,

Another feature that we hope to run In every
supplement is an outdoor's guide, This month,
Tom Kacandes describes Albany from a runner's
point of view, In issues ahead, we will focus on the
best spots to ski in the area, where to catch the best
fish and how to find the best place to go camping.

The goal of this supplement Is to go beyond the
game stories and provide what insight we can into
the world of sports, Future cover stories include a
look at Albany's two professional teams, the 1984

Winter Olympics and a special basketball preview
in November,

We hope you enjoy the premiere issue of the A
Sports Supplement and please feel free to tell us
about any ideas, criticisms or compliments you

Interview:

Pam Kruse swam in the 1968 Summer
Olympic Games in Mexico City for the
United States. A world record holder in three
events and an American record holder in four
events as well as a three time National Cham:
pion, Kruse won a silver medal in the 800
‘meter freestyle and finished fourth in the 400
meter freestyle in the Olympics. She also won
two gold medals and a silver in the 1967 Pan
American Games in Winnipeg, Canada, She
competed on the U.S, team that traveled to
the Soviet Union, Poland, West Germany,
South Africa and Rhodesia, Presently, Kruse is
a student at the University of Michigan Law
School in Ann Arbor which she expects to
graduate from in May 1985.

Prior to entering law school, Kruse worked
at Michigan State University first as an in-
tramural administrator and then as assistant
director for labor relations.

Kruse entered the Olympics with high ex:
pectations, Along with Debbie Meyer and the
test of the U.S, swim team, Kruse hoped to
ead a sweep of her events, While Meyer won
two golds and the team as a whole was very
successful, Kruse suffered through what she
terms a disappointing performance, She
discusses the Olympic experience and life
after the Olympics in this interview

Kruse worked as a summer associate at the
New York law firm of Winthrop, Stimson,
Putnam & Roberts, where she was interview
edd in July by ASP Sports Editor Marc Schwarz
ASP: Participating and winning a medal in
the Olympics is something very few people
can hope to achieve, What was that ex
perience like? How has it affected your life
since then?

KRUSE: Looking back, the only thing | find
disappointing is that memories tend to
become more blurred as to what it meant
It’s definitely a very significant part of my life
Iremember feeling, especially after what was
expected of me in the 400, that I didn't meet
up to my best time and we were sort of pl
ning that we would finish 1-2-3 in al the free
style events and | sort of blew it there
because fourth isn't third even though it was
just a few tenths of a second off, The 800
wasn't really my event. I'm really 200, 400,
and | didn't make the 200, which | should
have made but somehow ! made the 800. So
Iwas a little more uptight about it because |
wasn’t as confident in that

the fact that in the States we just don’t swim
the 800 all that much. We either swim 400's
oF 1500s, so it was sort of a wierd thing, {
remember feeling a great deal of pressure
because | had done a lot of sacrificing but
more importantly my family had done an
awful lot, My coach had given me all his time
and | kind of felt after the 400 that | had fail
ed, | felt like | had to come back with
something. And then of course there is that
Whole national spirit, you want to do it for
your country and that whole thing, That
comes in there too, at least | felt that strong:
ly, | remember when it was over having this
great feeling; | would really like to. . . a test
tube came to mindat that time. « .just bottle
it up and bring it out when | wanted it
because it was such a great feeling. | found
that as the years have gone by that it has lost
some of that significance that it had at that
time and | find that very disappointing. | wish
that wasn't the case, but | do find watching
sporting events and sometimes watching the
Olympics it does tend to draw that back and
make ita little closer but at that time it was
definitely the most significant thing in my life
and | feel that my life is totally different
because of it.

ASP: You speak of being disappointed only
finishing fourth, yet that still is fourth in the
world. Is there too much pressure put on
Winning and not enough emphasis on enjoy-
ing the sport?

KRUSE: | think at that level there definitely.
is, The big adjustment that | had to deal with
is that my coach and where | came from it
was much more your own individual times
and working on your splits and planning
your race strictly from the times and the
Olympic Trials was the first time where all of
a sudden times become really irrelevant. You
have to finish in the top three. That wasa real
adjustment for me and even in the Games
themselves it was sort of the same thing, the
times don't carry the same significance that
they used too. | feel from at least my perspec

tive the Olympics tend to put more pressure
on you because it is concentrated more on
your finish. The whole thing is how many
Bold medals did the U.S, win, But | do feel
there is a tremendous pressure there.

ASP: The way the Trials are run in our coun-
try the top three finishers at the trials are on
the Olympic team whether or not they are
the best three swimmers or not. Is that a fair
means of determining an Olympic squad?
Should it be changed?

KRUSE: | would like it to, | could give you a
really vivid example in the 200 freestyle in
the trials, Going into the trials, | held the
World record for it and in the finals seven of
us, all but one, finished under the world
record and only three could make the team,

It seems when you get that caliber of people
together and then you're telling four of these
people who broke the world record, “you're
not going to make the Olympic team,’ That
sort of speaks for itself, But yet you have to
do the cutoff somewhere. It might be better
to have something relative to a world record,

If you could be under that then maybe you
could extend it and be an extra.

‘ASP: How would you compare your youth to
those of your classmates who didn’t swim
everyday?

KRUSE: | fee! as if | totally skipped the high

Pam Kruse

Olympic Medalist

mental plece. | think they kind of balance
out, | feel that Mike (Burton) is less talent
with a heavy piece of mental, Mark Spitz is
sort of an interesting example, He has a lot of
natural talent and in 1968 he just lost it men-
tally and then he got it together in 1972 and
look what he did,

ASP: Did you set goals for yourselft How im-
portant was winning?

KRUSE | set goals but they weren't winning,
My competition was with myself, Now if you
want fo say winning against myself, then |
have to say yes. They were all short term
ong term goals. Basically we focused on two
meets a year, the outdoor and Indoor na:
tionals and everything else took second seat
to that,

ASP: You talk about “we.” Who was “we,
your coach, your family?

KRUSE: Both, My family was very suppor.
tive, The other thing | give them credit for is
that they recognized they weren't coaches,
They didn't try and butt in and tell me what
to do, which a lot of parents do, It was
whatever | wanted to do and whatever my
coach recommended,

ASP: Financially the training and practicing
was handled by your parents, Should there
be in the United States as there is in the
Eastern Bloc countries government support

school experience, | just didn’t do the things
other kids did,

ASP: Do you regret thatt

KRUSE: When I came to college | did. | felt
like 1 was plopped down into an environ:
ment that | wasn't prepared for. 1 hadn't
done all the other stuff, It's like when you are
studying for a test and you skip over stuff
because you don’t understand it and then on
the test it invariably shows up,

ASP: To win an Olympic medal, does it take
more than just physical talent? What
separates the winner from another athlete?

KRUSE: My own personal feeling is there is.
i'm sure a lot of other people might dispute
that. Especially in the Olympics, you are
dealing with a real heavy mental compo-
nent, because usually at that level people are
in top physical condition. As far as talent
goes, granted some people are more
talented than others but then | have a bit of
bias in that you are not going to do jt if you
have zero talent; but hard work can make up
for a lot of that. For instance Mike Burton; he
actually started swimming because he had
polio. He had to do swimming for theripy;
he had difficulty walking, etc. He's one of
the gutsiest people | know and he ended vip
winning one of the hardest events, the 15°40.
ASP: In your case, what made you a top
caliber athlete?

KRUSE: | guess |'m sort of a lot like the mold
that a lot of people are. | had a fair amount of
talent and then | was able to combine the

for athletics?
KRUSE: That's a tough question. First let me
preface my answer by saying that swimming.
is not financially as burdensome as some
sports are, | was a member of the Florida
Gold Coast Association. Once you qualify for
the nationals, the Gold Coast group picked
up your plane ticket to the nationals, If you
won a championship the AAU would pick up
your plane ticket to come and defend your
championship, For several years they would
even pay for your hotel stay, For me, | would
like to see the other countries not subsidize
their athletes, Itis amateur, Maybe I'm out of
touch with everything they are doing right
now because if there is a lot of weight work
and other special training, and if you need.
that in order to compete, then we should
subsidize, That may be an answer to why we
quit swimming so early,

ASP: Why don’t you swim anymore?
KRUSE; Basically what happens to me when
I step into a pool is | sort of get this mind set
of what | used to do, | didn’t enjoy going to
practice everyday, It was one of those things
you realized you had to do and you did it.
You realized that is the only way you were
going to Improve and | wanted to improve.
Repeats are sort of a drag and when | step in:
toa pool ! can’t just splash around, It's like |
should be doing something that | know |
couldn't come close to. If | went in there and
did repeats I'd just be horrified, | couldn't
‘come close to what | used to do, That's part

of the reason and to me it’s not a very
sociable activity either. However, | must say
1 went swimming last weekend for the first
time in three years and it wasn’t as bad,

ASP: You traveled to Russia and. swam
against the Eastern Bloc athletes, Was there
any interaction between the two teams?
KRUSE: There wasn’t that much, Once again
the language barrier was really there. They
did have a social event in Russia which we
didn’t have, Normaly in the States after you
swim your event you get your medal, They
had an activity at the end of the meet and
everyone got together and they had cham:
pagne and instead of a medal one of the
things | got Was a silver caviar bowl, | also got
a jewelry box. There you had a little oppor.
{unity to converse but it was one of those
things where we were sort of Immature
about it, Getting there It was like, “~was our
hotel room bugged?! and things along that
line. It was very different as far as you did feel
watched, They had an interpreter that was
With you. As soon as you started going
someplace he didn't want you to go you
were called back, It was a lot more restri
tive, As far as actually talking with the
athletes, we never saw them, We were at the
pool, practicing, The only time we saw them
was when we swam against them and then
usually at the meet itself, Meeting them
wasn't your top piorily,

ASP: What about at the Olympic Villaget
KRUSE;A |ittle bit more so there, The big
thing they had at those times which broke
down a lot of barriers was that they had a lof
of trading. Sweets or litle pins or those kind
of things, The U.S, stuff was in top demand,
You could talk to anyone and say trade and
they knew exactly what you meant, It was a
universal word, | really wanted to get a Rus:
sian sweat sult
ASP: Did you make any friends at the Olym-
pies with athletes from other countriest
KRUSE; They tried to make it easy by putting
people together but unfortunately | did not
0 out of my way, That would be something
if] were to do it over again that | would try
not to be so Into myself as | was and try to
meet other people, They did have social ac-
tivities in the ning, They had bands, The
swimming was at the end of the Games so
you were not as willing to do that, It was pro:
bably more fun for the track people who.
finished their events halfway through the
Games and then had a good time, | think
that’s part of the reason | didn’t do that,
ASP: Do you still keep in contact with any
teammates?
KRUSE; | kept in contact with a few people
for a while, But that kind of dwindled,
seems like a lot of the contacts are made
through the coaches, They are still doing a
Jot of the stuff and they will maintain contact
with the coach and you find out how people
are doing through the coach, | would also
see people in Florida,
ASP: What was the atmosphere on the U.S,
team like? Was {t competitive or friendly?
KRUSE: | think you were always somewhat
an individual but you were also a team. We
had altitude training so we were together a
little longer than most teams, That was kind
of nice because we became more of a group
and got used to going out with each other,
And definitely the United States brought you
together, you wanted to do your thing for the
country, You were much more part of a
team, but | don’t know anyone you could
ask who wouldn’t want to win.
ASP: Did the thin air in Mexico City affect
yor swimming performance?
KRUSE: The research at that time was that
for sprints it wouldn't be that noticeable but
that as the distance increased you would get
into the oxygen debt more. The distance
times were off, There weren't the records set
that there normally are. | didn’t notice {tat all
in Colorado; that was where we trajned.
Then | did notice it for the first time in the
400, | tend to swim a paced race and then at
the point where | should haye been putting it
‘on, | usually was a very strong finisher and
with a hundred to go, there was nothing
there and | went “huh! and | know other

Women in Sports: TheNewSUNYAC Conference

By MARC SCHWARZ
Sports Editor

Competition is well into its first month in the new
women’s division of the State University of New
York Athletic Conference, ‘

The SUNYAC, which catered only to men during
its first 25 years of existence, has been reorganized
and restructured to combine the men’s and
women’s athletic programs of the SUNY schools
under one administrative and competitive body,

This is just another step in the ever-growing world
of women’s intercollegiate athletics, Participation in
intercollegiate sports has risen from 42,000 in
1973-74 to over 125,000 in 1981-82, But the world of
the female student-athlete has grown not just in
quantity, but in quality as well. The level of competi:
tion and the skills have increased dramatically over
the past decade.

One reason for this increase is Title IX of the
Educational Amendments, passed by Congress in
1972, The law, which affects all phases of education,
forbids educational institutions which receive
federal funds from discriminating because of sex.
Some of the areas covered by this bill provided that
men could no longer be paid more than women for
doing essentially the same job, nor could graduate
Or professional schools set quotas on the amount of
women to be admitted or matriculated, The one
ment of the law which stirred the most controversy

is the area of funding for intercollegiate athletics.

Physical education and athletics falls under the
“Program and Activity Opportunities’ section of the
law. Universities and colleges must provide equal
‘opportunity to women under Title IX. This means
the budgets for men’s and women’s sports must be
roughly “equivalent”. In essence,the law states that
ifthe women’s programs are one-third the size of the
men’s, they must receive one-third of the budget. In
addition, the granting of athletic scholarships must
be proportional to the amount of men and women
involved in the program. Since its implementation,

the average women’s intercollegiate budget has
risen ftom two percent of the men’s to somewhere
between 16 and 18 percent of the men’s budget
Title IX has caused changes other than budgetary
ones, Women’s programs must now get equal treat-
ment, In order to comply with sections 86.37c and
86.41 of Title IX, schools must meet three basic re-
quirements: financial assistance. must be
equivalentzmen and women must have the same
level of athletic benefits and opportunities, and ac-
comodation of student interests and abilities has to
be dealt with in an equal manner,
Specifically, equipment and supplies as well as
scheduling of games and practices needed to be
Upgraded for the women. Previously, women were
forced to wear hand-me-down uniforms and had to
wash and clean them themseleves. Now if the men
have their equipment laundered and cleaned for
them, then the women are entitiled to the same
treatment. Women's teams can no longer be
scheduled for practice only in the early morning or
late at night while the men occupy the facilities dur-
ing the “prime’’ practice hours. In terms of competi
tion, the seasons must be equivalent in length and in
the opportunity for pre- and post-season competi-
tion, Travel and meal allowances cannot differ
among the two sexes, Other areas that had to be im-
proved are the assignment and compensation of
coaches and tutors, provision of locker rooms, prac-
tice and competitive facilities, provision of medical

In basic terms what Title IX has done is given
women an greater opportunity to compete in inter-
collegiate sports. Through this opportunity, the level
of competition has rapidly increased and is con-
tinually rising. Women are starting in athletics at a
younger age; participation at the interscholastic
level has increased 635 percent since 1971, accor-
ding to the Sports Participation Surveys of the Na-
tional Federation of State High School Associations.
There has also been an 86 percent increase in the

The initial movement to combine the men and.
™ women under one athletic conference came about
four years ago, according to Rogers, The timing at
that time was inappropriate for such a move, she ad:
ded.

However, in March of 1982, the men’s and
women’s athletic directors: from the SUNYAC
schools, as well as interested parties met in Sy
to discuss the possibility of a combination.The day
long seminar produced round table discussions
about the pluses and minuses of the proposal and
the financing of such a maneuver. A six person com
nittee was appointed to examine the situation
Those selected were Jessie Godfrey of Binghamton
John Spring of Oswego, Charles Crawford former
athletic director of Brockport, Rob Riedel of
Geneseo, Gail Maloney of University of Buffalo, and
Rogers,

The committee met twice a month during the sum.
mer to formulate a constitution and the structure of
the new conference. In September of last year, the
proposed model was sent to the Campus Organiza
tion Executives for response. The COEs from the 12
conference schools sent back almost a unanimous
response.

The proposal called for the formation of a men’s
and women’s division to be under the conference
administration. It was a restructuring of the existing
men’s conference. The plan called for each division
to have autonomy over their sports and to have a
balanced representation on the executive and con-
ference boards. Each member would have two
Votes, one men’s and one women’s on conference
issues and the executive board would consist of a
president, president elect, past president, con:
ference commissioner and the chairs of the two divi:
sions.

In the spring of 1983, the full proposal was
brought before the combined group, men's and
women’s athletic directors, and was basically ap:
proved for adoption as of September 1, 1983, Cor-
tland was the only SUNY school to hold out at the
beginning, according to Rogers. Cortland did ap-
prove the combination, but too late to have their
women’s teams join the conference this year. The
Red Dragons will be members of the women’s divi-
sion in 1984-85, Rogers said,

Competition has been approved in seven sports
for the women’s division, :Championships will be
held in cross-country, indoor and spring. track,
basketball, swimming and diving, soccer and soft-
ball. Tennis will be added to the slate in the fall of
1984.

Albany State basketball Head Coach Mari Warner
is excited about having her team compete in the
conference. “I'm yery much excited about it, the:
reason being it gives us a better opportunity for
post-season competition, It will help our program
and it gives women sports better coverage. When
you combine with the men you get better
notoriety,’ she said,

The women’s basketball championships will be
combined with the men’s championships and will
be held at the western site this year. For the first
year, the logistics of the women’s division will not be
*he same as the mens’s because Cortland is not par
ticlpating, thus leaving an unbalanced amount of
teams. After this season, the men’s and women’s
division will be identical in set up and will hold their
tournaments together, according to Rogers.

Albany State head soccer coach Amy Kidder also
sees a bright future for the new conference, “| think
it is good, It’s considered post-season competition
which is good for our girls. The SUNYAC in the
future may give us more visibility. Establishing the
conference will help us in the long run,’ she ex:
ined,

However, Kidder is disappointed with the initial
alignment of the division, “The way our structure is
set up, there are only six teams in the SUNYAC this

BASKETBALL: When Cortland joins next year, the

INDOOR TRACK: Championships will be com-
bined with the men and be held on the same day

ar.’ The championship will be a one-game playoff
etween the top team from the east and the best
from the west. “Asa matter of fact, | was not in favor
of the conference until there were eight teams,” she
added

One area in which most of the women coaches
and administrators are pleased with is the way the
conference was restructured to give the women
equal footing in the conference. ‘I like the way they
have it set up. They went back and started from
scratch,’ Albany State's softball Head Coach Lee
Rhenish said. ‘They have women at the same level
as men, We feel comfortable knowing that we have
equal representation and equal vote,”

Equal representation has been an important issue
for women athletic’s over the past few years, In
1971, the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for
Women was formed with 280 charter members, The
organization was the governing and administrative
body for women’s sports, In time and with the help
of Title IX, AIAW grew into the largest athletic
association in the country with over 900 member
universities and colleges

According to Ann Uhlir, executive director of
AIAW from 1979-1982, the prupose of AIAW was
“the development of an athletic governance model
designed for female-student athletes that reflected in
every detail the notion that competitive sports ex-
periences enhances the education of females’

AIAW and its regional organizations, such as the
Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for
Women enabled women to become athletic ad-
ministrators and. gain experience in running an
athletic association for women. Sponsoring cham:
pionships in 41 sports, AIAW was an organization
run by women, for women. -

However, the AIAW's life was shortlived. The
NCAA began in 1979 to look to combine women's
sports under their governance. In October of that
year, the NCAA appointed a special committee to
make recommendations regarding admitting
women Into the NCAA, At the January 1980 conv
tion, the NCAA concluded it was feasible to do so.
beginning in 1981-82, This signaled the beginning of
the end for AIAW.

When the NCAA held 21 championships in 12
sports for the 1981-82 school year, membership in
AIAW. dropped 20 percent, The prestige and
revenue the NCAA had was to much for AIAW to:
combat, A lawsuit by AIAW. against the NCAA,
charging the NCAA was violating anti-trust laws, was
denied by Federal District Judge Thomas P. Jackson
in February of last year. AAW was forced to close
its doors on June 30, 1982. “As of Wednesday we
are a dormant organization. We will retain our
members without further assessment of dues," Uhlir

y
bi

said at the time in a statement to the press,

Now under the auspices of the NCAA, women lost
the one thing that AIAW gave them, autonomy over
women’s sports. Women's intercollegiate sports are
no longer run and operated by women alone, they
must now also answer to the NCAA, a male
organization until 1981

“We only haye one vote with the NCAA, One
vote per institution,’ Rhenish commented, There is
no separate yote for the men and for the women
regarding NCAA policies, just the one institution
vote, That is one area that has female administrators
concerned, They are not long-standing members in
the NCAA heirarchy and some feel that the interests
of women sports are not being given enough
thought

“| feel we (women) have been assimilated, Qur
programs have different kinds of needs,”” Rhenish
said

Its that specific point that has Rhenish disturbed
with the NCAA, that has drawn praise from women
administrators in the SUNYAC, The conference has
taken into regard the differences between the men's
and women’s programs. The set up of the two divi-
sions each with control over their sports allows the
women to maintain leadership and govern
themselves. “It is a step In the right direction,”
Rogers said. ‘It is an example for other people to
follow,”

Rogers added that Binghamton’s Women's
Athletic Director Godfrey has been approached by
other Division Ill conferences about the SUNYAC
combination of men’s and women's sports

‘The primary purposes towards the combination
was to get the women and men together, not work:
ing at cross purposes. Secondly it makes for a
stronger conference, nationally and regionally.
Perhaps it Is setting an example to combine the men
and women with mutual benefit,’’ Rogers <aid.

“it strengthens the SUNYAG,' Moore said, ‘It
gives us a chance to address matters as a whole, not
as two splinters, It also provides an assist to the
women's programs by having the SUNYAC people
help with organization.

“Avs simply working together, | think it's another
step forward in having men and women together in
stitutionally. It’s a real plus for us at the ad-
ministrative level, scheduling and financing,” he ad-

ded.

‘As the SUNYAC women’s sports progres in thelr
first season, the future of the SUNYAC and yomen’s
intercollegiate sports asa whole seems b ht. The
continually increasing particiaption from» youth
level on up should help to smooth out anc! -bstacles

that lay on the road ahead.

As the 1983 baseball season draws to a
close, terms such as magic number, spoiler

baseball fan's vocabulary. For the non-
contending teams, it’s time to start polishing
up the set of Ben Hogans before making
reservations for tee off time, But for some
teams, this is the time when Pennant Fever

ballplayers can be elevated to heroes and
heroes can become legends. Ah, the

In the West, the Dodgers have won their

In the East, it's the same old story with the
Orioles, even without Earl Weaver. They go

changes to September and it’s lights out. As
an avid Yankee fan, | can tell you that it's
very frustrating trying to catch a team that

AMIA is set to kick off another year of in:
tramural sports, Last week, the men’s softball
captain's meeting was held, and as usual it
was full of surprises.

AMIA has decided to expand the men’s
softball from three to four leagues, The
previous 2A and 2B leagues are now
1A and 1B. League 1A is still designed for
highly competitive, fast-pitch teams; with 18,
being a medium-pitch league.

AMIA’s new league is league two,
specifically created for less competitive
squads, While the medium pitch rule still
holds effect, a base runner in this league can
only steal a base after the ball has crossed the
plate, as opposed to leaving when the ball
leaves the pitcher’s hand, The “high-arc
pitch’ league three and the co-ed league
four remain the same as last year

AMIA president. Mike Brusco projects
there will be 130 teams in the fall softball
gue. With the addition of the new softball
league, there has been an increase in the
bond money needed to create a softball
team, Last year, the cost was $13 per team to
gain entrance to the AMIA league, This year,

for AMIA/WIRA

AMIA has raised the fee to $18,

Other AMIA sports include basketball,
which tips off in late October and goes
through early April, The volleyball. season
coincides with basketball but is served up
only on weekends. Bowling meets every
Sunday throughout the year, and the popular
“Challenge Cup!’ floor hockey tournament
faces off next semester,

The only sport scratched from AMIA’s
1983 program is flag football. According to
Brusco, flag football wasn’t safe enough to be
played under the existing conditions, and the
Teague is now experimenting in efforts to
make the sport safer.

WIRA's 1983 season is in the process of
getting off the ground. WIRA also begins its
season with women’s softball and soccer
According to WIRA president, Cathy Russo,
three new sports will be added to WIRA’s
Program. There will be a new dance
workshop starting in November, along with a
racquetball league, Last year, WIRA spon-
sored a racquetball tournament that was so
successful they créated a winter league, The
other possible addition is field hockey, but
the creation of a league depends on a

A runner’s guide to Albany

By TOM KACANDES
Associate Sports Editor

Why do people run around Perimeter
Road? New students who come to Albany
and like to bike or run usually start with
Perimeter Road because it’s there and it’s
convenient. The problem is that if you exer-
cise more than four times a week- as you
should if you want to get anything out of it-
then Perimeter Road gets pretty damn bor
Ing. | imagine that some people like the feel-
Ing of accomplishment that comes with tun-
ning three miles, bute BAD NEWS- one
perimeter is only 2.88 miles around unless
you toss in the circle, and even then...

If you've got any ambition to see
something new while you're out on the
toads there are a number of great places to
check out and lots of nice routes seemingly

, far away from the concrete, yet they're all
within easy reach for aimildly accomplished
funner, or anyone with a bike, The two
routes listed here | chose as representatives
of those | run on a regular basis, and each
can be varied to taste. Now that Fall is of-
ficially here, right now is the best time to get
‘ut and see the Albany area,

Ifyou can run a perimeter every day, you'll
have no trouble completing a
“Schoolhouse’’ run, which Is about five
miles total, First, head across campus toward
Sutter's on Western Avenue, making a left at
the campus entrance, Continue on
dowtown on Western until you see a
Stewart's Bread & Butter shop on the Sutter's
side, Right next to it is Russel Road - a SUNY
‘bus stop - so cross at the light and go for it,
Russel Road is a residential street for about a
mile, but as you go along, the houses
become spaced farther and farther apart, and
by the time you hit the two mile mark there
are Just fields,

Congratulations! You've escaped from the
city and you're now In Guilderland County,
but don’t stop there. At the end of Russel
Road you'll have to turn onto Krumkill Road
which runs perpendicular to Russel, Go
fight and stay way over on the side of the
toad - always facing traffic - because there
aren't any sidewalks'there, This {s real Rural
‘America,

Continue along for about a quarter mile or
so and take the very first right, This is
Schoolhouse Road and following it you are
now heading back toward campus, Just
follow along and enjoy the scenery, Listen to
the qulet, Note the conspicuous lack of con
crete. Avoid cars,

point of the Rocky Run.

The Capitol Building staircase is a high

At Its end, Schoolhouse Road comes out
‘onto Western Avenue just above Denny's
and opposite Stuyvesant Plaza, Run down
along the Denny's side of Western and cross
at the Fuller Road light, You are now close
enough to smell SUNYA -or at least UAS- so
you can run down Fuller Road and turn right
‘onto Campus whenever you please.

A longer route that is a favorite of the
women’s cross-country team is the Rocky
Run. About nine miles total, the Rocky run Is
not recommended to the beginning runner,
If you're in decent shape and you're looking
for something new, then go for it.=

Head out to Washington Ave. past the
Hellman Theater, with the State Office Cam-
pus on your right. (Notice how huge the
State Office Campus is, What do they do
there?) In any case, that’s a good place to run
and bike around: lots of great access roads,
After crossing the bridge you'll pass Brevator
Road, which Is the boarder with residential
Albany, Continue down Washington and
take in the different rielghborhoods as they
pass. By the time you hit the Beverwyck
playing fields next to Alumni Quad, you've
gone 28 miles, This marks the beginning of
the student slums, where you see O'Heany’s
Tavern on your right, Past Quail Street is the
Long Branch and other sundry watering

Aye, This is an Albany phenomenon: none
of the avenues dividing Albany are parallel,
rather, they all spread out like fingers from a
distorted hand, Be sure to stay to the right
hand side of the road because here, where
Washington and Central come together,
stands Bum Park, It's just a little triangular
spot of green with a few benches, some sick:
ly trees, and a Spanish-American War monu-
ment, but there are always a couple of ag-
gressive bums hanging out who'll yell at you,
"Hey, sit! Ya got a smoke?” | usually pick it
up until | get to Lark Street, two. blocks
down,

Lark Street is often compared to Green:
wich Village, but if that’s what youre expec
ting to see, you'll be disappointed, If you
think Albany is a totally boring place, then
you'll be surprised, In any case, by the time
you pass Lark Street you are in downtown
Albany, capital of our fair state, and there's
alot to see, On a Rocky run, you're basically
just heading down Washington and up

Western, but once you've done that, you
‘an vary it and cut back and forth on any of
the cross streets in between, A jaunt down
Lark is very much worthwhile.

Continue down what is now Central
‘Avenue until you see your goal: the Capitol.
On the left will be the neo-classical and
Overstated State Education Building, which
has a neat museum in the basement. The
Capitol houses the State Legislature and was
tecently renovated for something less than
two million dollars. Itis definitely the coolest
building in Albany, Below the Capitol at the
end of Central Avenue is Albany's City Hall,
which was built in a Dutch-influenced style.
Run around to the front of the Capito! and
look up: there are the stairs,

When Theodore Roosevelt was govenor,
he often called press conferences at the bot-
tom of the staircase and then run up to the
top without warning. Those reporters who
reached the top first were allowed to ask
questions, and the slower ones had to pant
and listen, By the time | hit the Capitol I'm

Up to the top Is worth it.

Continue around the other side of the
Capitol and head up State Street, This is the
only uphill part of the Rocky run. The Empire

pears on the left. State Street is
host to many of the oldest and prettiest
houses in Albany, and the corner of Lark and
State Is definitely the center of the city.

Past Lark, State Street borders
Washington Park, which is a great place to
hang out on nice days, and a bad choice
after dark. At the park’s corner State and
Western meet and you're back on the bus
route, Famous sights abound: the Lampost
and Pop's Pizza, WT's, Alumni Quad, and
the College of Saint Rose. Then there's more
quiet neighborhoods, Marine Midland, Shop
Rite, Sutter's, and home.

NOTE: it’s not a good idea to do either of
these routes at night, and, of course, it's
always better to run with someone just in
case you run into trouble and you need a
hand. If you have to run alone, or at night,
then you should stick to Perimeter Road, but
if you can get organized enough to get out
during the day, then you should give the
streets of Albany a chance, I'll see you out

ASP interview with Olympic Medalist Pam Kruse

ne
ASP: Have you found that your athletic train-
ing has helped you in other areas of your lifet
For instance, do you feel you have more
mental discipline than other law studentst
KRUSE: Yes and no, | think | can be more
disciplined at times to do things | don’t want
to do, Mentally, | don’t know if | have as
good a mental focus as other people. | think
that is one of the things | need to work on, |
find myself drifting off and maybe because in
swimming laps your mind drifts off, | don’t
know as far as a mental focus but as far as
realizing what you have to do to reach a goal
“that you want to reach, it certainly has
helped me there.

ASP: For several years after you stopped
‘swimming you remained active in athletics in
the administrative end. In the past several
years you have turned away from sports

Whyt
KRUSE: In high school my life was swimm:
ing. As far as a career goes, | never really
thought abouta career, | guess | was brought
up rather traditionaly. | was going to go to
college, but then it was get married and that
kind of thing. But then even when I went to
college, | didn't know what | wanted to do
and everyone said what are you going to do,
What are you going to major in? And I said, |
don't know. Everyone said I'd be good in

to do other things and part of it was that |
wanted to do something on my own and not
have it tle into sports, | have drifted away
from physical education into intramural
ministration and then | made the big swit
into labor relations. You are right that they
were conscious decisions. | realized |
wanted to do something other than sports
and | found as | moved in that direction that |
liked |t better, | think | can see myself pro-
bably moving back and doing more for
sports, But it is kind of proving yourself in
other areas.

ASP: Some retired athletes, especially those
who were at the top of their sport, have trou-
ble watching that sport, Is that the case with
yout

KRUSE: | don’t think swimming is a real
spectator sport, If it's somebody you read a
ot about or if it's some record breaking per-
formance, you can certainly feel a lot for
that. I don't know, but | remember watching
portions of the Olympics and | enjoyed gym-
nastics much more than swimming, | can
certainly feel for it but itis not one of those
things | go to. There are a lot of things I'd do
before I'd watch a swimming meet,

ASP: Where is your medal now?

KRUSE: My folks have it and it was sitting on
top of the TY last time | was home, It is just
‘one of those things. | think that medal is
‘more meaningful to them, the actual medal

Physical Education, so | began to believe it* itself. | would feel sort of funny haying that

and | majored'in it. Then I realized | wanted

‘medal hanging around.

ASP: Would you recommend what you went
through to other people?

KRUSE: | would be hesitant to recommend
to people what they should and shouldn't
do, | would certainly be very supportive if
they were interested in it. | would tell them
what | thought were the pluses and the
minuses and what | got out of it. think itis a
real personal decision that the individual
should make themselves, Clearly, the more
information they have the better the decision
is made but again | feel that happens too
much and this is carrying this to an extreme,
but that you get pressured into doing
something you don’t want to do and it
becomes too much of a chore. | would never
push anyone in any direction, but | would
tell them what | got out of it, which is
positive, and then let them make their own
decision

ASP: What were your feelings about the
Olympic boycott in 1980?

KRUSE: | was really, really disappointed with
it, | guess it's becauise, and | don't have the
stats on it, there are not that many people
who repeat Olympics. There is a whole lot of
sacrifice that goes into it and for people to
put out that kind of time and that kind of
energy and then not be able to do it for some
political point. . . I'd rather see the political
points made in the political arena and not
moved into the supposedly amateur athletic
field. | feel it was terribly unfair for those peo-

ple. | feel very sorry for those athletes. Most
of them will not have a second chance.

ASP: Was itawkward to be retired at age 17?
KRUSE: At the time it isn't because at the
time you are really old, You kind of feel
deserving of retiring. Reflecting back on it, it
does seem kind of amazing that at 17 or 18
you retired from something. | think it is just
the perspective you look at, It is:too bad ir
some senses that you have to do that,
Because I'm sure there are some people who
could turn in some very goodperformancesif
that wasn’t the case. Again, | think itis just a
balancing out of different things you want to
do. | think that swimming Is crazy enough
that you have to be young to do it. Then you
become a little more sane and you realize,
Hey, | might want to do something else.

ASP: It seems as if winning the silver medal

_,Was more of a relief than a celebration:

Kruse: It’s interesting that you get that feel
ing, it’s partially right, There was that excite
ment but it was also a relief, The relief came
from the fact of.the parents, coach, country
triangle. At the time it was more important
for me to win for them. In later years it has
become more meaningful to me. It is also
much more meaningful to have just one
medal. It is not that easy to get one. You start
to take winning for granted. You do it so you
figure it is no big deal, but itis. If | could do it
‘Over again, | would do itthe same way. ©

Sour milk

To the Editor:

Tam writing in reference to the quality of the milk being
served on Colonial Quad this year, I can count the times on
the fingers of my nose that the milk has been good. Now
since my nose doesn’t have fingers you can imagine what {
mean,

When I asked the lady in charge of the cafeteria about it
she seemed shocked, She went over, took one whiff of the
milk and told me to try the other side,

don't know about you but I like my two glasses of milk
a day and {ts hard for me to get by on two glasses in two
weeks. It kind of reminds me of the scene in the Little
Rascals when all the kids are passing around the message
not to drink the milk because it’s spoiled, until it gets to the
headmaster,

Maybe I'shouldn't be to0 harsh, Maybe there's a reason
forall of tis, like the cow got sick or the truck broks down
in New Jersey. I do think that since I'm paying all of this

} money to go to school here that I should be entitled to non
sour milk,
— Stuart Hack

: Clear up the facts

) To the Editor:

} Dear Comrade Betz,

} {tis frightening to realize that there are people in the
World who think like you do. We agree with you, The
United States should be condemned for the blatantly
hostile act, {.e, sending a “death machine" like a KAL 747
to knock down a peaceful Soviet heat seeking air-to-air
missile,

*You forgot to include a few facts in your letter. They in-
clude: 1.Why the Soviet Union consistently denied any
complicity in the incident (but wouldn't you if you had kill-
ed 269 people?), 2.The plane used INS (Inertial Naviga-
tional System),which pilots depend on heavily for correct
navigational information, This system needs 3 people to
properly program the coordinates. On the day in question
‘only one person put in the coordinates, The checkpoint

Mcoordinates were 42°23'3""N by 147°28'8'"E,which may

mistakenly plugged in as 47!28'8"N by
Such a change puts the plane on a course over
khalin Islands, which is where it was shot

Hdown, 3. The Soviet pilot could have mistaken the 747 for a

Pimuch smaller RC 135, but that is similar to comparing a

watermelon with an orange, 4,Spy planes fly at an altitude
Of greater that 60,000 feet. The 747 was shot down at
33,000 feet; well below any reasonable height for a ‘'spy
mission,"’ It is quite obvious that you have paranoid fan-
tasies about the military/industrial complex of the United
States,

We should not, however, forgive the imperialistic, evil,
war-mongering U.S, for this audacious act, fot they are like
the Soviet regime, which, in 24,041 days of existence has
murdered at least 20 million of its own citizens, an average
of more than 800 a day for 60 years, Unless the Red Army
massacred another Afganistan village that day, the Soviets
had a below average day,

In summation, it is our opinion that thoughts like yours
make acts like KAL flight 007 possible,

Parking problems

To the Kaito

1 am writing this letter in reference to the parking pro-
blem on campus, specifically on Colonial Quad, As Col-
nial Quad residents know only too well, procuring a space
in the lot after 8 am during the week is next to impossible,
The options then open to the driver are twofold, One can
park in the usually. half empty Colonial pay lot until the
regular lot clears out, but in doing so you risk a ticket, The
other option is to park at Dutch or State quad, where there
are spaces available in the rear, but this ensues a 15 minute
walk back to the dorm, That wouldn't be a totally
disagreeable option, except for the fact that after the com:
muters leave for the day, your car is alone, surrounded only
by acres of asphalt, For those of us who are security con
scious, that is not Incredibly desirable,

All of this leads me to the proposed solution, which en:
tails reserving an appropriate amount of Colonial tot
specifically for the ise of Colonial Quad residents, This
could be accomplished with a small amount of paint, a few
signs, and a special sticker or tag for quad residents, In this
way the initial outlay and administrative costs involved
could be kept to a minimum,

It could be argued that this plan would take away spaces
from commuters, but such is not the case, This plan simply
calls for a redistribution of where people park, antl,
overall, would increase the total utility of the existing park
ing facilities,

It should be noted that the Quad lot was repainted this,
summer, and it seems a few extra spaces were painted in,
But, at the same time, a few seemingly prime spaces were
not striped. The reason for that is presumably to enhance
the fundraising efforts of the university by enabling it to
write tickets to unsuspecting cars for parking in a ''no park-
ing area,"’ This was the case with my roommate, Upon
completion of a detailed investigation by the author, it
became evident that certain unmarked spaces do. get
ticketed, while others do not. What ii the logic,behind this?

Texpect to look out my window in the near future and see
Rich Schaffer holding a press conference in the quad lot on
this most important issue, Coverage on TV-10 Action News
with Dick Wood, (the Ted Baxter of Albany), and Marci
Elliot would be a nice touch,

downtown campus along Washington and Wes{ern Ave.
The service is free to all students and supplements the
University’s bus system which does not run after 12:00 on
weekends,

Although, it is largely used by on-campus students who
‘Wish (0 go to the bars to drink and responsibly chose not to

‘drive, it has many other purposes, Many off-campus
students utilize this service {0 travel uptown for weekend
parties, movies in the Lecture Centers, to aliend
concerts, other events, or to just hang out with a friend in
the dorms,

Without this service, many students will be unable to
travel off campus for nighitime activities, SA provides an
alternative to students who wish to attend downtown par-
ties and other events, Most on-campus students do not have
cars with which they can get downtown, We also realize

, that these late night buses will deter students from driving
while intoxicated. SA is dedicated to help in the fight
against drunk drivers,

The point here is not which students use these buses but
that itis available (0 everyone, The service is provided by
Tevenue collected from the manditory student tax, What
the final breakdown comes down to {s that through their
tax dollar each student pays approximately 12 cents a
semester. I belleve it isa truly worthwhile service.

The original authors feel SA should also subsidize the
university buses. Yet how can we pay for a service that must
be provided by the university as part of our tuition? Should
Wwe also subsidize the salaries of our professors?

Student Association has been spending the better part of
4 months fighting attempts by university officials to imple:
ment a bus fee, This vital service is a necessary aspect of
cimpus life and as such should be covered by tultion, not a
supplementary fee, We are against any fees for such ser-
vices that should be covered by our tuition, Will the univer-
‘sity consider fees such as a library fee or a bathroom fee to

allow us t0 use these facilities too, Now is the time for all
siudents to speak out against any fees which the unyersity

Get involved

To the Editor:
As students of this university we should all feel privileged
to study in an atmosphere made up of so many different
types of people with different backgrounds, The great
diversity on this campus is clearly shown through the
various student groups, Those who clalm to be our so called:
campus leaders (ell us this diversity Is the key to an edu
tion, They “enlighten'’ us with speeches exclaiming the
need for all groups to become involved and have a voice on
campus, These leaders explain the importance of the rela-
tionship between the various groups and the need for good
Telations between the groups and the administration,

It is these same leaders who on the one hand urge all
students {0 express themselves yet on the other hand were
too Insensitive and out of touch with the student groups,

this university,

Jewish students should realize that this is not an isolated.
incident and that We must stand up for our rights on can
pus. We have a responsibility not only to ourselves but to
the Jewish people as a whole, Jewish students must make it
a point to learn what it means to be a Jew. This can only be
done by rejecting the apathy that seems to embrace
students today and getting involved.

Bookstore blues

To the Editor:

Last spring, well before the deadline for ord
tbooks, I ordered my text for Phi 114P. One section was to
bein LC-a, which holds 208 sivaents; the other in HU-116,
which holds 40, Accordingly, 1 ordered 248 copies of the

$0-75) are without books, This is the only book for the
Ja paper is due on Oct, 14, Nearly @ quarter
Of my students are thus at a severe disadvantage, 1 think
this is unfair to them and (0 me,

T have heard that the bookstore has a poliey of ordering
fewer books than the professor requests, If there is such a
policy, it is objectionable on wo grounds: (1) it shows a
lack of respect for the professor; why bother to ask us if
You ignore what we say?; and (2) itis counter-productive, It
could lead professors ordering 400 books when they need:
200, I think this kind of game-playing is demeaning to both
parties, The relationship between professors and the
bookstore should not be an adversarial one. There must be
some way for us to work together, Perhaps if an order is
completely at odds with past needs, the professor or depart-
ment secretary might be contacted to check if the order
needs correcting, The present cavalier treatment of students:

and professors is simply outrageous,

4 Battering relationships

<7,

hie feels his control in the relation
ship is slipping, violence helps him
gain that control back, he con-
tinued. This violence does not occur
‘without guilt, however, the batterer
often fecls quite badly about
himself and what he has done, he
explained.

Zubretsky explained that the bat-
tering victim, usually the woman,
can sometimes feel helpless, unable
to alter the pattern of violence in
the relationship. Told repeatedly
she is no good, that she does
leverything wrong, Zubretsky ex:
{plained that the victim begins to
believe that it is her, fault she is
beaten. She takes responsibility for
her loved one’s violent behavior
although unrelated to what she has
or has not done. Zubretsky added
that the emotional damage inflicted
by a battering can be more painful |
than the physical beating. itself
Also, she said, psychological
wounds take longer to heal that
physical ones,

Isolation of the victim is extreme-
ly common, She denies that there is
anything wrong In the relationship,
and is forced to cut herself off from
others because of her mate's
unreasonable jealousy, According
to Zubretsky, the woman needs to
develop a support system through

friends, counseling, or recreation,
and needs to learn to direct her own
anger appropriately.

Relationship abuse is indeed oc-
curring on this campus, There are
many places for people to turn who
find themselves in this situation,
Men's Coalition Against Battering
offers services to the batterers who
are trying to change. It is a
volunteer organization consisting of
mental health professionals, It
operates through a cognitive
behavioral approach in counseling
groups consisting of four-eight
men. It is highly stuctured and is
designed to "Help him learn other
‘ways of coping, and to give him a
larger coping repertoire,’’ said
Yost. They can be contacted at
438-4550 or Box 6447.

A second place to turn for help is
| “Families in Crisis," a branch of
{Unity House in Troy. This

| organization deals primarily with
women, in short term counseling,
and advocacy, ‘Families in Crises!”
teaches women problem solving

OCTOBER 4,1983 1 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS 15

Student vote would be big for Rev. Jackson

(CPS) If the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson
decides to run for president next
year, there may be no better place
to announce it than any one of the
nation’s 114 historically black col-
leges.

‘Al the nation’s largest black cam-
pus, the University of the District of
Collimbia, for example, “I can
guarantee you that 90 to 99 percent
of the students would vote for
him,'” promises Warren Green,
president of UDC's student govern-
ment,

‘A 15,000 UDC block vote would
be no small potatoes, especially in
view of how a switch of a mere 150
votes in each voting district would
have reversed the Reagan, landslide
of 1980,

But of even more significance is
the extraordinary enthusiasm for a
black presidential candidacy on
many campuses, where apathy and
student unwillingness to vote
ultimately wrecked the ambitious
college registration drives of
Eugene McCarthy, Bobby Kennedy
‘end George McGovern in years
past. Nowhere, moreover, has stu-
dent participation In presidential
politics been thinner than on black
campuses.

But things have changed. Just
last week for instance, at Southern
University in Baton Rouge, student
Vice President Myron Hubbard led
an effort that included an Isley
Brothers concert, shuttle buses and
candlelight parades, In the end, it
helped register some $000 students
to vote, well over half the universi-
ty's student body,

Xavier University in New
ns, the Week included voter
registration block parties, lapel
stickers, a "'second line parade’ —
an old New Orleans custom in
which revelers march in a raucous
parade with « band — and a radio
disk jockey offering prizes to peo:
ple who registered,

“We're really going to pump it,"

dent president and head of the

College and University Students.

Two SUNYA grads vie for city,

By Jerry Campione

Two SUNYA graduates, both
Republicans, are hoping to break
into the Albany Democratic tradi-
tion with their campaigns for city
‘comptroller and county executive,

In the race for Albany County
Executive, incumbent Jim Coyne is
‘opposed by 1978 SUNYA graduate
Paul Burgdorf, Coyne is seeking his
third term in the office, This is the
first political contest for Burgdorf,
the present chief of staff for Sen,
John Dunne (R-Garden City),

In the race for the job of chief
fiscal officer of the city, Charles
Hemingway, present city comp-
troller, 1s being challenged by
another SUNYA graduate, Hilary
D, Ring, who received his master’s
degree in public ddministration
from SUNYA in 1982,

Burgdorf, running on both
Tepublican and’ independent tines
for the county post explained that
he feels the county hus been ruled
by Democrats for 52 years and,
‘needs a system of checks and
balances! which it would get by
electing a Republican (0 the job,

Ring, the Republican and Liberal
candidate for city comptroller, is
also trying to break into a long
tradition. of democratic power in
the comptroller's office and he
comments that a vote for him ‘is a
yote against the Democratic
machine,”

All SUNYA students, both on-
and off-campus, are leigible to vote
for county executive, as the area is
under the jurisdiction of the coun-
ty. They would, however, have to

register in their own districts or,

‘wards, For the election of city com-
ptroller, only the uptown residents

in the Town of Guilderland district
22 would be ineligible to vote, The
Guilderland district includes all of
Indian Quad and approximately
half of Dutch Quad.

Burgdorf, who states his theme as
“open government and financial
management"? feels that these are
‘two things that you haven't had in
Albany,'! where, according to
Burgdorf, a two-party government
would be the first in 52 years.

Tn Albany (state government) we
have # Republican-controlled
Senate and a Democratic Assembly.
Even the federal government has a
two-party system, Albany needs a
second party,’’ he said,

Burgdorf sald that he, as an ine
dependent Republican, would stand
‘up and give an opposing party's
viewpoint’? when making decisions,
He also sald he feels he could be
more sympathetic {0 the student
community, adding that SUNYA Is
“part of my roots,””

In an interview Coyne, the in-
cumbent Democrat, said he has
done a good job in his eight years as
county executive. He pointed out
that he ‘fought like crazy 10 get a
reimbursement rate’ for nursing
homes and succeeded in getting the
state and federal governments (0
reimburse 90 percent of the funds,
“Vim saving taxpayers 90 cents of
every dollar spent,'” he said

Coyne further commented that
he has cleared up some of the con-
troversies surrounding the county
executive's office, such as unfair
bidding practices and excessive
spending,

He has, on occasion, opposed his
‘own political party ‘in an effort ta
strengthen the office,’ Coyne said.
He added that if he stays in office

work to Improve what we

he will
have here,

Ring states that he agrees with
Burgdorf that Albany government
‘thas been a closed system," and
that he ‘would be a progressive
voice in the city administration.”

“The city needs an advocate to
look out for the people,"” he said,
adding that he “wouldn't be afraid
to blow the whistle on the govern-
ment.” Ring speculated that he
could save the city approximately
$10.7 million “by plugging holes
and looking for money.”

Ring also said he “would be an
advocate for the students! even
though that Isn't a specific job of ci-
ty compiroller,

Hemingway, who has been with
the comptroler's office for 17 years
‘and has been comptroller since the
retirement of James Brunet in
January, feels that “right now, the
Office looks a lot better than it did a
year ago.’

Ring clted a December article in
the Times-Union which charged the
Comptroller's office with many

buses"” of taxpayers’ money.
Hemingway said that “what has
happened in the past is being chang
ed”

According to Hemingway, the of-
fice now has a new budget director,
Daniel Klepak, who has been able
to help out “in finalization of the
budget, thereby freeing other staff,
member for their own duties,’

Hemingway also said that the of-
fice ‘has cut way back on spending
over the last half"’ of the fiscal year
and, although “the city has run a
deficit in the past, it looks like there,
will be a little surplus this year,"

One of the more controversial
aspects of this race is whether or not

RCO

Hemingway is ‘'stonewalling’’ the
issue of debating, according to
Ring.

Ring, who in August challenged
Hemingway to a series of six
debates, sald that the comptroller
‘ig trying to duck out of his public
promise to debate,

"On June 17 Mr. Hemingway
said he would debate me under
what he called ‘the proper cir-
cumstances," continued Ring. “On
August 30, he reiterated by saying,
‘1 am more than willing te
debate. . .once the ground rules are
established."”” According to Ring,
Hemingway has yet to respond.

Hemingway countered Ring's

statement, saying that he ‘just
hasn't had the time."? Due to the
lack of a budget director during the
crucial months of planning, Hem-
Ingway sald he has been “extremely
busy." He said he felt “the budget
and the upcoming bond sale are
more important to the people of
Albany,"” He added that he hopes
to be "in touch with Mr. Ring this
week,’
Ring said he is tired of excuses
and feels that “it is important for
the people of Albany (0 have an op-
portunity to make an informed
choice’ before casting votes for
compiroler.

The candidates, when posed with
the question of student voting, ex-
pressed its importantance. The
challengers, however, feel that
students should vote in their college
districts, while the Incumbents feel
the cholce should be up to the in-
dividual,

“I see no reason why students
shouldn't vote," said Hemingway,
a graduate of Albany High School
‘who has taken some credits toward

county posts

a college degree at the University of
Tokyo, ‘However, unless a student
is going to locate here, they should
be more interested in their own
community”?

County Executive Coyne, a
graduate of Siena and former
teacher and assistant principal in
Albany, said that he believes “it's
really Up to the individual. 1 would
fend to vote in my home district,"*
he said, “but if student really has
an interest, he should be able to

SASU takes SUNY commercial sale policy to court —

By Tim Sheil

State University policies covering
private commercial sale on campus
have been taken to court and could

arrested by Cortland campus police

Rapp was invited to Cortland stu-
dent Melissa Ambos' dorm room to
present her product 10 several
guests, She was arrested after the
dorm director told them Rapp was
violating SUNY policy prohibiting
commercial sales in dorms,

AS a result of the arrest, SASU
attorney Ronald Zinzheimer filed
suit in federal district court last
December, asking for a preliminary
injunction to stop SUNY from en-
forcing the regulation, He argued
that the student’s right to free
Speech and association were
violated by it and there was no over-
whelming state interest in maintain-
ing it,

Zinzhelmer that an order be
granted allowing AFS to sell and
students to buy on campus, and
that SUNY be enjoined from enfor-
cing the regulation,

Northern District Court Judge
Neil McCurn granted an injunction
ordering SUNY {o allow AFS.

about their products and students

product, though, is still prohibited,
according to Assistant Attorney
General Larry Doolittle, handling
the case for the state, ‘'The judge
really stuck {0 his guns,’ Doolittle
says, ‘no sales, no dollars."”

Zincheimer says “the issue is
much broader than the sale of pro-
ducis in dorms, Students should
have the right to invite someone in
their room for commercial or other
Feasons,"" The issue, he contends, is
one of student rights, The univer-
sity's position is that students do
not rent their dorm rooms, they are
Just licensed to use that space, It's a
nonexclusive policy, and as it stands
now, students have no right to oc-
cuipy that space,"

Because of this, Zinzheimer says,

students do not have rights accord-
ed tenants in other situations, rights
ranging from *'choice of visitors to
privacy to protection from illegal
search and seizure."’ As licensees,
he says, the university may illegally
search a room, or remove a student
from that space at will,

The challenge of the sales pro-
hibition is but a first stab at knock-
ing down archaic rules that stifle

Tierney, SASU President and

Zinzheimer says that AFS ‘is

tiffs beeause it’s commercial," but

that it still underscores the restric-
tive policies Of the State University.

An affadavit filed by a former

Zinzhelmer countered this, say-
ing that "A university is not the ap-

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
“Bven better than 1 expected" was the way
Albany Head Coach Bob Munsey described
the Albany State men's cross-country team's
22-37 romp over the Division I Red Raiders
of Colgate, Munsey was also surprised by the
way his runners hung on to Colgate’s c
one man, Joe O'Connor, who covered
Albany's 5.05-mile course in a very fast time
Of 26:36 (0 wi s race, "Three of
ur top five men smashed their best times,
and we outplaced them up front and in back.
1m tickled,!” Munsey said

Up front, the Danes took second, third,

Colgate's second and third runners finished
about thirty seconds back with Albany's
fifth, sixth, and seventh men right behind
them and in front of Colgate's fourth man,

Leading the Danes across ihe line was
junior Ed McGill, who kicked too late to
catch O'Connor, but did improve on his best

tain Jim Erwin recorded the day's biggest

and Chuck Bronner surged past Colgate's
fourth man in the last mile to complete the
the Dane scoring, "Both Craig and Chuck

The meet was significant for Atbany in that
this year's young team is now running at the
level that last year's yeteran team was at this
time, ‘I think their team was comparable to

proved, and we beat them by an almost iden-
tical score,"” Clements commented. 'Nor-
cople call it a ‘building year’ when
't have any seniors,'’ said Erwin,
but we're just looking to sce how far we can

The Danes now shift to a one-race-a-week
schedule which should allow the team to con-
centrate on strength training, according to
Munsey. “We've been undertraining so far,

Tf the Albany State men’s soccer team were
to prepare a highlight film at the end of this
year entitled "Goals of the Year: 1983," then
the three goals they scored in a 3-1 win over
Brockport State last Saturday would occupy

"Tt was a good team effort, I'm very pleas-

following the win, ‘We were getting tired of

‘was tied at one with about eight minutes re-

Danes kept the pressure on and exploded for

their third win of the year.

With the ball loose around midfield,
Albany fullback Dominique Cadet sent a
high, arching ball toward the Brockport net.
‘The Eagle goalkeeper misplayed the ball, and
it bounced free in the penalty area, Dane
midfielder Jeff Hackett chased the ball
down, and from a very tough angle fired the
ball into the vacated net, giving Albany a 2-1
lead,

‘1 was anticipating from the time 1 saw the
ball,"! Hackett sald after the game. “I shot it
from a tough angle, but I was in control all

the way."

Two minutes later Albany was given a 3-1
ead by a freshman forward who is beginning
to make a name for himself in the SUNYAC
Confereni :

Tihan Presble stole the ball from
Brockport 20 yards away from the goal, rac-
¢d in Mone on goal and unloaded a shot that
nestled in the net just below the crossbar. It
was ain insurance goal and @ team-leading
fiftHt of the year, Earlier, Presbie scored a
senasational goal that gave Albany a 1-0 lead.

With a little more than seven minutes gone
in the game, Presbie picked up a loose ball
about 35 yards away from the Eagle net
Coming from out of nowhere, he took con-
trol of the ball, ran in between two Brockport
players on the left wing, came in on goal and
flicked the ball into the net while he was at a
seemingly impossible angle.

“1 got the ball past those two guys, and
then I went as fast as 1 could. I'thought the
ball was out of my reach, but I just tipped it
with my toe past the goalie," Presble sald,

It was a superb individual effort, and the
freshman's name should soon be familiar to
every coach in the SUNY Conference,

“We could easily be 6-0 right now,”
Schieffelin said, ‘*We got all three goals on

The defeat dropped the Dane record to

NUMBER 31

By Phyliss Lefkowitz

Mixing serious topics with nonsensical
ones, writer Kurt Vonnegut managed at once
to both amuse his audience and give them a
lesson in consciousness-raising, during his
speech Thursday night in the Campus Center
Ballroom,

To amuse his audience he named his
speech; "How to Get a Job Like Mine,"
Then, moving to more serious topics, he
discussed war and pacifism

He criticized his own profession,
saying,"*More major league baseball players

For those in the audience currently writing

tained,

Vonnegut's basic premise throughout the
speech is that technological progress requires
caution, ‘There are good inventions and bad
inventions, he said.

A good invention is a paper clip, a bad in-
vention is a rocket with a warhead or
firearm, “If you want to sec evil plain," he
noted, “look down on any missile silo. We
have a right to fear evil technology."

Vonnegut showed how he brought math (0
literature by drawing graphs based on the
ploiline of novels and plays, with rising and
dipping curves, The problem with people, he
said, is that they expect their lives to run that
way also. ‘All of these stories are supposed
to be stories, not tives," he sald, A great de
of unhappiness and doubting stems from that
misunderstanding, said Vonnegut

An outspoken critic of firearms and gun
faws, Vonnegut criticized those people who
admire and use guns, ‘There is almost ay
much skill (0 use a cigarette lighter ay a

You might as well praise using a Zippo, a Ble,

Tying together his seemingly disconnected
tirade against technology, his admiration for
Alcoholics Anonymous and fis emphasis on
people, and his fear of the lack of usefulness
of man in the future, Vonnegut identified
another type of addict

“There are people who are dangerously
