Two Student Association presidential candidates will
begin campaigning again for a run-off election as a
result of Tuesday and Wednesday’s SA elections.

The unofficial results had James Lamb, with 434
votes for 28 percent of the total votes, and Eric Lieber-
man, with 225 votes for 14.5 percent of the tally, leading
the group of eight candidates. According to elections
policy, a run-off between the top two candidates must
occur if no candidate receives more than 50 percent of
the total votes. The run-off elections will be held next
Wednesday and Thursday.

“I’m ecstatic,’ Lamb said about the election results. |
He said that by doubling the vote of his nearest com-
petitor, it showed that he is a strong candidate. Lamb
added that despite low voter turnout in the initial elec-
tions, he hopes to get people to get out and vote in the
run-off. :

‘‘’m glad that we had that kind of support behind
us,’? Lamb said, adding that he felt his supporters were
hurt by allegations of poster violations and assault.
Lamb felt this was the main reason for the 74 write-in
votes he got for a seat on the University Council. Lamb
was removed from the race following a Supreme Court
ruling last week. _

Lieberman said he was ‘‘very happy that I made it
in,” yet added that it was a very tiring month.

Lieberman felt the low student turnout at the polls
was ‘‘appalling,’’ but said he planned to get students
out to vote. ‘I’m going to try and get in touch with

David Anshen, who received 201 votes (12.9 percent),
said he was pleased with his showing. ‘‘The results were

presidential candidate Rev. Jesse Jackson, however, he
added that Jackson was a ‘“‘singularly important
Democrat.”’

‘Rey. Jackson is making an unusual, some people
argue, unique contribution,’’ Cuomo said. ““He is mak-
ing a manifestation of the American idea at its very best.”’

The conference room was filled with members of na-
tional, state, and localk media, Jackson supporters, and Mayor Thomas W. Whalen, Assembly Labor Committee
various local officials. Chair Frank Barbaro, and Senator Howard Nolan.

“<I have not endorsed [Jackson], and I have not endorsed — Delegates from Bruce Babbitt, Paul Simon, and

extremely surprising that I and Nick [Schneir] did so
well.’? Anshen said, ‘‘I consider ~ it a real victory,”’
and added that his showing ‘‘sent a message that people
support the issues we address .”’ oe

Anshen said he was unsure about future SA involve-
ment. ‘‘Now it might be too early to state,’’ Anshen
said. ‘‘I have mixed feelings about SA. . . the whole
election process has disillusioned me about S.A.”’
However, Anshen said he will continue to work on the

diverse campaign — the most multi-cultural — the most
America.”

Earlier that day, about 200 Jackson supporters had at-
tended a fundraiser $100-per-plate breakfast at the
Thruway House. : :

According to SA _ Vice-
President Steve Harrison, a can-
didate must receive more than fif-
ty percent of the vote in the
presidential or vice-presidential
elections in order to win.

Cohen was ‘‘kind of close, but
not close enough,”’ Harrison said.

‘The run-off will be held next

Wednesday and Thursday.

The results were released
Thursday morning and are still
unofficial, Harrison said, adding
that the official tally will pro-
bably be available Monday. “‘I
don’t think they’ll change,’’ Har-
rison said.

- Both Cohen and Cotten
predicted victory in next week’s
elections.

‘‘T wish we could have avoided
a run-off,’ Cohen said. ‘‘I feel
like I won, but I have to win
again.”’

Cotten said he wanted a run-off
election, because now he would
have the time to campaign. ‘‘I
had virtually no time to elec-
tioneer,’’ he said, but ‘‘with no
effort I got/25 percent of the
vote.’’ He called that
“‘encouraging.”’

Cohen said she plans to spend

the week before the vote cam-
paigning. ‘‘I can’t slack off,”’ she
said. ‘‘I’?m gonna be out there.”’
She added, ‘‘I know that Forest
will be strong, too.”’

Cotten plans to go door-to-
door for his campaigning.
“‘That’s how I got elected to
[Central] Council,’ he said. He
said he expects to pick up the
votes Robert Hecht and Nick
Schneir received. ‘‘I’ll probably
be able to sway their votes now,’’
he said.

Hecht and Schneir, the other
candidates for the office, received
15.3 and 13.2 percent of the 1338
votes cast, respectively.

Though finishing last, Schneir
felt he ‘‘did really well,’’ and
‘chad a very respectable
showing.”’

“‘T don’t think anyone... can

say Peace Project doesn’t have
support,’’ Schneir said, explain-
ing that one purpose of his cam-

- paigning was to ‘‘show that lef-

tists have support on campus.”’
Schneir said he will not endorse
either Cohen or Cotten in the run-
off. ;
Hecht could not be reached for

Harrison, Cohen, and Cotten

NEWS BRIEFS

The World
Arab soldiers killed

Jerusalem
(AP) Troops killed three Arab guerrillas
trying to enter Israel from Lebanon on
Wednesday and a 70-year-old Palestinian
woman died after soldiers tossed tear gas
into her home, according to army and
other reports. j

The army denied Arab accounts that the
woman suffocated from the gas and said
she died of natural causes.

Two Palestinians were reported wound-
ed by gunfire and 51 injured by rubber
bullets, tear gas and beatings in a battle
between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers in
the Gaza Strip.

At least 144 Palestinians have been in
the rebellion that began Dec. 8 in the oc-
cupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, accor-
ding to U.N. figures. An Israeli soldier and
a 15-year-old Jewish settler also have been
killed.

Overthrow feared

Manila

(AP) The military put troops on full na-

tionwide alert Wednesday as fears of a new

coup attempt heightened on the eve of

President Corazon Aquino’s four-day visit
to China and Hong Kong.

Aquino assured her Cabinet that max-

imum security measures had been taken to.

keep the country safe during her absence,
according to presidential press secretary
Teodoro Benigno. Defense Secretary Fidel
Ramos said the 160,000-member armed
forces would crush any attempted coup.

Aquino was to leave Thursday, for visits
to China and Hong Kong on her first trip
abroad since 1986. Coup jitters have been
aggravated by the recent escape of rebel
military officers, including former Lt. Col.
Gregorio ‘‘Gringo’’ Honasan, who tried to
overthrow the government in August.

“‘Nothing can happen that can topple
the government in one fell swoop,’’ said
Brig. Gen. Rodolfo Biazon, Manila area
military commander, on Wednesday.

EPA regulates waste

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Environmental Protection Agency
Administrator Lee Thomas said Wednes-
day that he backed efforts in Congress to
better regulate cities’ incinerator ash, as
local officials complained that current
waste standards are unclear.

Thomas told a House Energy and Com-
merce subcommittee that he supported the
approach of a bill by Rep. Thomas
Luken, D-Ohio, that seeks to end confu-
sion over the handling of ash from 140
municipal waste combustors processing
about 15 million tons of refuse each year.

At issue is whether incinerator ash is to
be considered hazardous or nonhazardous
solid waste. Thomas said EPA is looking
to Congress for help on whether ash from
waste-to-energy incinerators should be ex-
empt from stringent hazardous waste
regulations that could mean high cost and
lots of paperwork for communities.

Currently, the determination of whether
a waste is considered hazardous is based
on toxicity tests.

Petition deadline met

TY

Denver
(AP) Backers of a drive to recall Mayor
Federico Pena delivered 21 bundles of peti-
tions to the Denver Election Commission
on Wednesday, beating a 5 p.m. deadline
in an attempt to force a new mayoral
election.

Recall organizer Marge Doty said she
had no count of signatures on the peti-
tions, but said she was confident there
were “‘more than enough’’ to continue the
recall process.

The petitions would have to bear the
valid signatures of 39,091 registered
Denver voters, which is 25 percent of the
number of votes cast in the last mayoral
election, said Sam Tarkington, executive
director of the Election Commission.

Bill adjustment urged

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Democratic congressional leaders
urged union representatives Wednesday to
accept plans to drop a key plant-closings
provision from major trade legislation but
made no headway, sources said.

““We’re still searching,’’ House Speaker
Jim Wright, D-Texas, told reporters after
the session. He refused to comment on
details of what happened in the closed-
door meeting.

Representatives of the United Auto
Workers union and other labor groups
were warned at a three-hour meeting that
the plant-closings measure could scuttle
the whole bill, according to sources who
asked not to be identified by name. ©

veto the trade bill if it arrived at the Oval
Office containing the debated plant-
closing provision.

The Stete

Charges dismissed

New York
(AP) A man who served two years in
prison on a conviction as a pickpocket saw
charges against him dropped Monday
because the testimony of the transit police
officer who arrested his was suspect.

State Supreme Court Justice Alfred
Kielman dismissed charges against
Frederic Slack, 47, as the Manhattan
district attorney’s office acknowledged
that other cases may be affected by the
suspect testimony of transit police.

Gerald McKelvey, spokesman for
Manhattan District Attorney Robert
Morgenthau, said other defendents who
were convicted with questionable transit
police testimony will be offered new trials.
At this point, McKelvey said, about three
cases will be affected.

McKelvey said his office also will look at
the case of anyone who claims he was
coerced to plead guilty in a transit case
because of fear of false testimony and the
prospect of a longer sentence if he risked
going to trial.

Gore: Bush to veto bill

Niagara Falls
(AP) If George Bush is elected president,
his administration will not live up to the in-
tent of the laws Congress passed to clean
up toxic waste sites, Tennessee Sen. Albert
Gore charged during a visit to Love Canal.

The Reagan-Bush administration has
“completely failed to enforce the law,’’
Gore, a Democratic candidate for presi-
dent, said Wednesday. ‘‘They’re still try-
ing to shift responsibility and still trying to
make excuses.”’

In 1978, Gore was a freshman con-
gressman who led a congressional inquiry
into contamination at Love Canal and
helped draft the so-called Superfund
legislation to clean up toxic waste sites.

Lawmakers intended the law to provide
the money needed to clean up the nation’s
worst hazardous waste sites and to move
aggressively against polluters, he said dur-

ing an impromptu news conference at the
Site.

Debate season ends

Rochester
(AP) Debate season has just about come to
an end for the Democratic presidential
candidates, but it appears to be concluding
with a flurry in New York.
A total of four debates were scheduled
in the Empire State debate between the
Rev. Jesse Jackson, Tennessee Sen. Al
Gore and Massachusetts Gov. Michael
Dukakis on Tuesday. Another one is
scheduled there Thursday.

In the April 8 issue of the Albany Stu-
dent Press, Dave Jackson, Director and
Operator -of Five Quad, was incorrectly
identified in a news article. Dave Jenkins
was not contacted for the story.

Ntshilo speaks

On April 19, Malomb
Ntshilo, a member of the African Na-
tional Congress, will speak in an attempt
to gain support for the ‘‘Sharpeville
Six’’.

The ‘‘Sharpeville Six’’ were arrested in

|South Africa for being part of the ‘‘com-

mon purpose’’ with those in a crowd who
killed a black South African politician
who allegedly was not involved, accor-
ding to Dennis Luke Bhayre, co-
coordinator for the Student Coalition
Against Apartheid and Racism
(SCAAR).

The purpose of the ‘‘Stop the Execu-
tions Tour’’ is to ‘‘generate enough op-
position here in the United States to press
Botha into a stay of execution,’’ said
Bhayre.

The event is co-sponsored by SCAAR
and the SA Programming Department
and will begin at 12:30 p.m.

Paim Beach arrests

Tempers and efforts to show off, ap-
parently raised to explosive levels by in-
tensive heat, led to the second major riot

of the college spring season the last |:

weekend of March.

Palm Beach, California. police ar-
rested seventy-five people and issued cita-
tions to two hundred others during a
weekend of sporadic fighting and public

drunkenness among the 50,000 students |

vacationing in town.

‘When you have alcohol involved,”
said police Officer Karen Holtz,
‘‘mouths start bigger, and -guys
start thinking they’re tougher than they
are.”

Holtz said the mixture of 100-degree
heat and alcohol contributed to the
disturbances.

A week earlier, students on Sak in
Port Aransas, Texas, rioted for four
hours, dispersing only after seven people
were injured. Police bombed the crowd

|with tear gas, and eight people were

arrested.

Greek’s week

Greek Week was a great success accor-

ding to Frank J. Anduiza and Matt

Kluger, Greek Week Co-Chair.

Greeks participated in over twenty-one
events in seven days.

‘‘There’s a lot of energy in the Greek
system,’’ Anduiza said. ““We’re very pro-
ud of Greeks.”’ .

‘‘For the first time, some of the black
fraternities and white fraternities got.
together and broke the ice between us,”’
Anduiza said. ‘“What we accomplished
was a great success and we’d like to thank

feveryone who helped out and

AdBank is a student-run advertisement

National bands to highlig ht Mayfest —

By Peter Jones
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

After a period of uncertainty, it appears
that the tradition of Mayfest will be
observed once again at SUNYA this year,
though maybe not as some remember it.

According to Student Association Pro-
gramming Director Rob Berke, ‘‘Mayfest
1988’’ is scheduled to officially begin at
10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 23, and will
be celebrated entirely within the fenced
confines of the University football field.

Berke explained that this year’s
festivities will differ significantly from
those of previous years.

Majer changes listed by Berke for this
year’s Mayfest are a no-alcohol policy,
free admission to the concert, a small flea
market in which about 25 student
organizations will vend goods ranging
from T-shirts to snow cones and cotton-

candy, and the unprecidented hiring of
four national bands in lieu of a superstar
musical act or several local bands.

The bands. scheduled for Mayfest 1988
are: Abel and Allen, Urban Blight, Billy
Bragg, and Gary U.S. Bonds, Berke said.

Berke was critical of what he called poor
security precautions at the last Mayfest
and was highly dissatisfied with profes-
sional security guards hired by the Univer-
sity, who he described as being qualified
by nothing more than ‘‘three brain cells
and a plastic badge.’’ Berke maintained
that security operations for Mayfest 1988,
which will include checking for incoming
alcohol at entrances, will be the sole
responsibility of SA personnel and over-
time Campus Public Safety officers.

‘Berke added that, because admission to
the concert is free, the chief purpose of the
six and one-half foot fence surrounding
the concert area is to inhibit the introduc-
tion of alcohol. He said that coolers for

food and soft drinks are permitted 1 in the

enclosure.

Poor financial returns from _ past
Mayfests had temporarily placed this
year’s event in jeopardy and led to the ten-
tatively planned and subsequently cancell-
ed substitution of the ‘‘Passout on the
Podium’’ idea. Berke said the latter event
had been cancelled in part because of the
strong connotation of alcohol abuse in the
title. On that subject, Berke quoted
University President Vincent O’Leary as
having said that ‘‘Passout’’ “‘ruins the
academic integrity of the academic
podium.”’

Berke explained that the podium, with
its precipitous central fountains area and
outer edges, could prove hazardous during
an all-day event that included the con-
sumption of alcohol. ‘‘I just didn’t want
anyone to get hurt,”’ he said.

Berke said that last year’s Mayfest,
which charged $15 for a ticket that entitled
the bearer to admission and lunch, at-
tracted only 2,000 people. He expressed
higher hopes with this year’s free admis-
sion policy: ‘‘I’d like to have 8,000. peo-

ple,’’ he said, ‘‘I’d be happy with 5,000.”’

Council votes to approve budget
After two days of hearing appeals, Council approves

By Peter Jones
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

In the early hours of Sie morning,

_the Central Council completed its delibera-
tions and voting on appeals of previous

fund allocations for the Student Associa-
tion budget for the 1988-89 academic year.

During two lengthy budget appeal
meetings, one on Wednesday and the other
on Thursday, the Council members voted
on financing . for SA-recognized
organizations.

Council members questioned after the

last meeting. were generally pleased with
the procedure and outcome of the
budgeting process.

Central Council Chair Phil Botwinik

said that some of the Council’s objectives ae ee a BT STE ISS TB TU ae ace ee
i : “ ;

during the budgeting process were to reaf-
firm SA’s affirmative action policy with
the use of ‘“‘riders’? on some allocations,
the conservative funding of new student
groups, and funding of established on a
partial merit basis with the organization’s
benefit to the University community as a
major criterion.

Riders, in this case, are specified direc-
tives appended to SA funds which instruct
the receiver to observe affirmative action
hiring procedures. Botwinik explained that
riders were issued only to organizations
that actually engage in the hiring of per-
sonnel such as the Food Co-op and the

. SUNY Tunes Co-op.

Botwinik said that SA
tightening the reins on our co-ops and
budgeting policy for groups.”’ He cited the
Dog Pound weight-training co-op as an ex-
ample and said, ‘‘We’re implementing ma-

_jor changes in the infrastructure.’’ Among

the changes mentioned in the printed
Budget Committee Proposal are twice-per-
semester inventories of. co-op equipment
and merchandise. °

‘was really |

Many organizations that appealed the

_original budget allocations were able to |
- secure additional funds at the meetings.

The Five-Quad Ambulance service
received an additional $387 which, for in-
surance reasons, was needed for the
organization to continue functioning
legally.

The Riding Club, which was not an SA-
funded group last year and whose
members paid the $9,000 in operating costs
out of their own pockets, was allocated
$580 to help defray some costs. —

Approximately 10 members of Peace
Project, a student activist group, were pre-
sent in the Council gallery and, follwing
earnest speeches from a few members,

_ managed to obtain an additional $300.

It was to the apparent regret of a

number of Council members that not
enough funds remained available to
bestow $4,000 on the Albany State Univer-
sity Black Alliance (ASUBA) to help
finance ASUBA Fest, a SUNYA cultural
event. ASUBA finally received an addi-

tional $1,000.

“Overall, I’m pleased,’’ said Bob Rit-
ten, Vice Chair of Student Action, ‘I

thought the process was very fair.’

Council member Shawn Thompson ex-

pressed a similar view: “‘I thought it went.

very well.”’ O

SUNYA students are
favoring Dukakis, Bush

By Howard Fox
STAFF WRITER

According to a random sampl-
ing of 30 SUNYA students, Gov.
Michael Dukakis of
Massachusetts was favored 2-1
over Tennessee Senator Albert
Gore, Jr. among those planning
to vote in the April 19 New York
Democratic primary.

Dukakis was chosen by 40 per-
cent of likely Democratic voters.
Gore received 20 percent while
Rev. Jesse Jackson trailed with 10
percent. Thirty percent have yet
to choose a candidate.

Vice President George Bush

received near-unanimous support
by likely Republican voters get-
ting nearly 100 percent.

A survey of eligible voters was

also taken. Dukakis was the
preference of one-third to be the
next president. Bush trailed with

20 percent Jackson and Gore tied -

at 6.7 percent. Former Colorado
Senator Gary Hart, no longer in
the race, was preferred by 3.3 per-
cent. No other candidate received
any preference.

Of students who were likely to
vote and expressed a preference
for the next President, Dukakis
received 29.2 percent; Bush, 20.8
percent; Jackson, 8.3 percent;
Gore, 8.3 percent; and Hart, four
percent. Almost 30 percent of the
students did now know how they

felt toward the particular

candidates.

Of the 43.3 percent of students
who identified themselves as
Democrats, 46 parent preferred

to see Dukakis as the Democratic
nominee, 15.3 percent preferred
Gore, and 7.6 percent gave
Jackson the nod. No one else

‘received significant support.

The 30 percent of students that
identified themselves as in-
dependents preferred Dukakis by
33.3 percent. Jackson was prefer-
red to be the nominee by 11.1 per-
cent. Gore trailed with six per-
cent. No one else received signifi-
cant support.

Bush was the preference of the

26.7 percent of students who
identified themselves as
Republicans. He was preferred by
62.5 percent. One quarter did not
know who they wanted to be the
Republican nominee.

When asked which Presidential
candidate they would never vote
for, Jackson received 43.3 per-
cent. Bush followed with 20 per-
cent, and behind him was Gore
with 10 percent. Rev. Pat Robert-
son garnered 3.3 percent, while
Dukakis did not received any
significant count.

Students were asked whom
they thought the next President

would be. An overwhelming 56.7 |

percent predicted it would be
Bush. The remaining weren’t sure
who would be the next President.

One of the first signs of spr-

Kim stresses knowledge in all aspects of life

By Laurie Kellman

As a foreign exchange student from Korea, Dean of
Undergraduate Studies Sung Bok Kim, received an educa-
tion courtesy of the U.S. government. Now he plans to
give something back.

Kim graduated from Seoul National University in 1956
with a degree in History. He followed his interest in
American history to the United States in 1960, after
receiving word of financial assistance.

“It was a pretty natural thing to do,’’ Kim said.
“‘Where else should I study American history?”

After beginning his graduate work at the University of
Wisconsin, Kim said he found it hard to adjust.

**I knew how to read and speak conversational English,
but a classmate had to transcribe lectures for me. . . I
couldn’t even type at first,’ Kim said.

Kim cited determination and desire to make his parents
proud as the reason for his eventual success.

“I wanted to succeed so badly that I developed com-
municative skills in the first semester. . . After that I felt
I could hack it,’’ Kim said.

After completing his master’s degree
in American Revolutionary History,
Kim went on to Michigan State for his
doctorate.

In 1966, Kim got his first job as an
assistant professor at the American In-
ternational College in Springfield, Massachusetts. He
next taught at the College of William and Mary for three
years, then left Virginia for the much larger University of
Illinois.

This experience, according to Kim, was a valuable one,
because it was his first exposure to teaching in a large
university. However, the wind, rain and flat, prairie land-
scape seemed truly foreign to Kim and his family. ‘‘Final-
ly, we decided to leave after a tornado hit our town on
December 18, 1971,’ Kim said.

Kim continued, ‘‘I remember this date because it is the
anniversary of the Boston Tea Party...it was
disastrous.’’

SUNYA entered Kim’s life in 1973 when the ad-
ministration offered him a position as an assistant pro-
fessor of History. From there, he was promoted to full
professor and finally to department chair, where he re-
mained until last fall.

Currently, Kim is in the midst of a three-year term as
acting dean of Undergraduate Studies. The transition
from departmental chairmanship to a deanship has in-
volved a shift in perspective, according to Kim.

“Instead of viewing the university from a departmental
standpoint, I must consider its needs as a whole,’’ Kim
said.

“TI have gotten a lot from this

— Dr. Sung Bok Kim

During his term, Kim hopes to make some changes
which he feels are a long time in coming.

“I have seen [this University] grow from a teacher’s
college. . . toa competitive educational institution. But it
still has a Soe way to go.”’

Kim said his primary objective will be to improve the
quality of the student’s private lives. Education, he said
he believes, should permeate all aspects of a student’s life,
thereby making it more valuable.

“‘We would like to enhance academic culture here, and
make undergraduate education more intellectually ex-
citing,’’ Kim said.

Together with the Division of Student Affairs, Kim has
set the wheels of many new programs in motion. The
much-publicized Special Interest Housing, according to
Kim, is one opportunity for students to live together and
enrich each others’ lives.

*‘One can have a social life anywhere,’’ Kim said, ‘‘But

Kim said he also hopes to reduce the distance which has
developed between faculty and students. Among his pro-
posals are a faculty resident on Indian Quad and an ar-
rangement that involves about 20 faculty members eating
in quad cafeterias each week.

Although these programs provide excitement and
challenge for him, Kim says he plans to return to the
History Department at the end of his term. He says that
teaching fulfills his desire to contribute to American
society, now that he has benefitted from it.

Increased applications heightens standards

“Is it a revolt?’’a famous leader once
asked his most favored attendant.

““No sire,’’ answered the attendant. ‘‘It
is a revolution.”’ 3

This anecdote might be amended to
describe the voter turn-out in the recent
SA elections.

“*Is it a vote?’’

“*No, it is an election.”’

It was about the closest an election
comes to simply having no one show up to
vote. Just 17.9 of the eligible SUNYA
students voted on Tuesday and
Wednesday in the SA student elections.
And for this, a campus-wide castigation is
in order.

It is a disgrace that 12 vice-presidential
and presidential candidates, as well as
many other candidates for other offices,
offer solutions and their own time to
SUNYA students and are met with a
thundering silence. Some positive
feedback would certainly be welcomed by

a candidate, negative maybe not

welcomed but appreciated, but no
feedback leaves not a sour, but worse, no
taste in their mouths.

It is easy to become confused about
where some lay their priorities when one
compares the number of people who

voted, around 1500, with the number of |

people who will tommorrow be found
knocking others off chairs in the middle
of the circle, probaly around five or six
thousand.

During the ASP endorsement boards,
nearly every candidate spoke of student
apathy, some saying that such a beast did
not exist. Students are not apathetic about
things that interest them, they said.

Clearly, the past week’s elections have
interested few and drawn even fewer to
the polls. Whether this is a reflection of
SA not packaging itself well is not the
point. Eight different candidates surely
had something to say that interested more
than one of every five students.

Look at the candidates’ comments and
one will see that winners and losers alike
do not first talk about how he or she fared
personally but how dismal the general
turn-out of the election was. To have a
healthy election one must have a healthy
voter turn-out.

Although James Lamb had the highest

vote total in the presidential race and is

now in a two-man runoff with second
place finisher Eric Lieberman, maybe the
real winner here was Tom Gogola, who
maintained throughout the entire election
that he knew that students on this campus
really don’t know or care who runs SA,

and that he didn’t know or care, so why

not elect him?
Gogola’s pitch didn’t land him too

many votes, but his reasoning is sound.

When it comes to SA elections, SUNYA
students do nothing to alter their

Not the lesser

During the 1984 presidential election, it seems that a lot
of people felt their voting choice was based on what was
apparently the ‘lesser of two evils.’ ‘Should we put up
with another four years of Reagan or chance things with
Walter Mondale?,’’ went the argument in many people’s
minds. This doesn’t say much for our presidential elec-
tion system if things come down to this type of mentality.
The 1988 presidential election should not be one where we
resort to choosing someone who we think will do the least
amount of harm in the next few years. It should be one

where we choose someone who will be able to lead us into.

the 90’s with the plan that will help to turn around some
of the negative trends we have been experiencing.

Bob von Rekowsky

Much has happened since the presidential race started.
A number of candidates have withdrawn from the race
and Vice President Bush has sealed up the Republican
nomination. The Democrats have narrowed the nomina-
tion to about three contenders — Dukakis, Jackson and
Gore (assuming Cuomo won’t jump in).

Arthur Schlessinger Jr. has predicted a swing back to

liberalism as we approach the 1990’s. Finally we are pull-

ing away from the conservative 80’s under Reagan. Many
people have had enough. I know I have. This election is
important in a number of ways. Whoever wins the elec-
tion will probably have to deal with at least a slight reces-

sion here in the United States. If a Republican is in office

while this happens, it will probably nail the coffin shut on
conservatives for a few years. However, if a Democrat is
in office and things get rough with the economy, it might
set back any liberal shifts in our country. It is possible
that if the economy goes sour with a Democrat in office,

| the Republicans will probably be able to make a com-.

eback in 1992.

But what of the candidates? Who is the right man to
lead the United States into the 1990’s? It will be a rough
ride regardless of party affiliation. The important thing is
not to belittle this election with concerns over who looks
the best or who would do the least damage. Experience is

_ important, but we don’t want someone to just muddle

through continuing along the same path we’ve been head-
ed down just because he has the credentials for the job. If
that was the case, perhaps we should just have potential
candidates submit resumes for perusal before they may
enter the race. That way the race would be one dependent
only on issues and not concerned with experience. After
all, how far has Reagan’s experience gotten him?
Experience is certainly an issue among the Democratic
candidates. People who are throwing their support
behind Dukakis might be doing so because he is the most
marketable of the Democrats rather than the best for the
job. There’s plenty of potential in Dukakis. As ABC’s
Sam Donaldson has pointed out, however, he lacks any
concrete national vision. Massachusetts is apparently in

of two evils

the country? It is imperative that the Democrats come up
with a presidential ticket that can rival Vice President
Bush based on its merits, not just offering an electorate
an outlet from a continuation of the Reagan Era. If
Dukakis is to be elected, he has to prove to the electorate
that he can carry over his success in Massachusetts to the
country as a whole. .

How about Jesse Jackson? Ironically, it seems that the
fact that Jackson is black is actually helping him get
votes. Paul Simon was probably the only other Democrat
as far left as Jackson and he didn’t make it. Certainly

Jackson’s national vision has a lot to do with his success. —

But does he have what it takes to carry the nation on vi-
sion alone?

Jackson’s overall experience for the presidency may
not be that great, but it is important to have this contribu-
tion in this race. Unfortunately, I constantly hear people
saying ‘‘Yeah, well Jackson is saying good things, but this

. country isn’t ready for a black president.’’ Why not?

Maybe the people who are saying this are the ones not
ready for a black president. If Jackson doesn’t get the
nomination or the vice-presidential slot, I should hope it’s

because of lack of experience, not because we’re not

ready. Nevertheless, coming only four years after the first
woman candidate on a presidential ticket, at least we are
finally on the right track. Jackson has said that he won’t
try to force himself onto the Democratic ticket at the ex-
pense of losing the vote for the party. To me, this makes
it seem that Jackson is more concerned with his message
than his title. That will have to be seen as the summer
convention draws nearer.

Out of all the Republicans, Bush and Dole were pro-
bably the most moderate — or should I say realistic. Now
that Dole is out of the race, Bush has an easy ride to the
Republican Convention and the nomination. No one
takes Robertson seriously. The only thing we have to
worry about is him trying to get a shot at the Vice
Presidency. To appease conservatives, however, while not
jeopardizing his chances, it seems that Kemp would be a
good choice in Bush’s eyes. Kemp is ultra-right but as
long as Bush is in there to mellow him out, we might not
have to deal with any more “‘Kill them Commies”’ chan-
ting administrations. Thank G-d that Reagan has in-
itiated weapons reductions with Gorbachev. If Bush does
win, at least he’ll have to continue down the right path
concerning relations with the Soviet Union. ‘‘Give peace
a chance!,’’ Bush retorted at one of the Debates. ‘“‘You
sound like a Democrat,’’ replied Kemp. So be it.

So when you’re standing in the booth on election day
this November, let’s hope you’ll be able to choose bet-
ween two viable alternatives for president. The ‘lesser of
two evils’ mentality has no place here. We’re voting for
our future. .

The Academy Awards.... What the hell?!?

Yes, like tons of other people all across the world, I spent Monday
night, April 11, glued to my television for the 60th Annual Academy
Awards ceremony. (One of the side effects of being a true movie person.)

With my bag of Smartfood in one hand (you can see the centerfold
about that one!) and a nominee list in the other, I was in for the night.
(Everyone knows how long this particular awards ceremony can run; |

was lucky it was only for the night and not for a lifetime.)

As the show progressed, I realized something really interesting. You
see, I had called my friend Mitch, who I knew was having an Academy
Awards-watching party, to confirm that he had seen the clip of the
Wicked Witch from one of our favorite flicks, The Wizard of Oz. .

Oh, good old Mitch had caught it alright. Then it happened .. . I was
questioned about my Oscar opinion. Now, right off the bat, that might
not seem like such an unusual thing. What made it so was that I, like so
many others within the movie-going public, had two sets of criteria and,
thus, two sets of choices.

There were the people that I really wanted to win (and/or at least to
have received a nomination) and the people that I really thought were.
going to win. :

Now, if I were to go through the list of people had occupied spaces on
my “Probably Going to Win” list, many of you would cry “foul!” and
insist that, as we all know, hindsight is 20/20. (Didn’t Al Jarreau have a
song that went like that??) However, contrary to what Academy President
Robert Wise and numerous others insist, there is, to a degree, a ~
sentimental vote going on. And (too) often, an actor will receive an Oscar
on the basis of his/her body of work, instead of the individually
nominated one. What the hell?!?

So, of course, Cher did finally deserve her Oscar, and yeah, Michael
Douglas was probably winning his just as much for Fatal Attraction as for
Wall Street. But hey — that’s the way the envelope (from Price

And so, the Academy Awards continues its tradition of recognizing
excellence. Because, regardless of all else, an Oscar does mean something
in this world. I mean, after all, an Oscar is still an Oscar. And, no matter
what anyone says, there’s nothing like a live telecast of the glitz and
glamour of the Oscars... it’s the next best thing to being there!

Reputable critics have often said that in the springtime, a young man’s fancy turns to love.
Albany State’s Theatre Department is about to prove that true. Though the Department's a

open auditions are being held next week. . . :

Director Al Asermely, who lent his talents to last semester's extremely successful produc-
tion of Biloxi Blues, explained why he chose this piece for his next directorial project. “It is
relevent today. The sexuality of that time and the hypocritical return to a morality parallel —
events in our day,” he said.

In order to further emphasize those parallelisms, Asermely plans to do a modern dress ver-
sion of the classic. He also noted the great humor of the work and compared the lead role of ©

For the performance in the Main Theatre in the PAC, the first three rows of the seats will

the number of female roles available. Anywhere from two to five of the male roles will be

fession can be very stressful at

times — especially when trying to
sign a major-label recording contract. In the
case of Greg Kroll, an Albany Medical
Center doctor, compassionate doctoring
just didn’t mix too well with his raucous
brand of rock-n-roll. Kroll will be playing a
benefit concert at Saratoga Winners tomor-
row night (April 16).

“The rock world is not all pretty —
there’s a lot of prejudices, a few control it
all,” Kroll quickly learned when trying to
strike up a deal. “I almost signed with CBS
Records until they found out I was a doc-
tor. They literally said, ‘If he’s a doctor, let
him sweat it out.’ It’s fun for a white
middle-class guy from NJ to face prejudice
for the first time,” proclaimed the former
“Doc-Rock,” speaking from his Albany
home.

Raymond Rogers

People magazine wanted to do a feature
story about Kroll, but he decided it
wouldn't be the best career move. “People
in the music industry just don’t like doc-
tors. | don’t know what it is, but they
don't,” said Kroll, a married father of a
four-year-old girl. His colleagues in the
medical profession, who weren't too thrill-
ed about his musical interests either, warn-
ed that it would damage his credibility and
reputation. ;

both professions, and signed with Profile

Modern Jazz Quartet misses the mark

: n Saturday evening, April 9, The
Modern Jazz Quartet. came to
ESIPA at the Egg. Intimacy and

acoustic quality combine to make it the

perfect place for such an event. Those who
have had the pleasure of taking in a perfor-
mance. at the Egg know this to be true.

They walked quietly onto the stage to
the applause of the audience. Four elder
statesmen of jazz, donning black tuxedos
with red kerchiefs: truly the image of class,
grace and style. Together they form one of
the all-time great jazz groups. Indeed, some
would argue that they are the best group,
bar none. Comprised of Milt Jackson on
vibraharp, John Lewis on piano, Percy
Heath on bass, and Connie Kay on drums,
The Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) holds the
record, according to Jackson, of being

together longer than any group in music -

history; 34 years with these four men.
MJQ as a group has been together since
1952, but Connie Kay replaced Kenny
Clarke as the group’s drummer in 1955.
They have played together for so long, in
fact, that they work together almost ef-
fortlessly, with a familiarity that only
comes over time. Together and individual-
ly they have played with the greats of jazz:
Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie,
Thelonious Monk, Coleman Hawkins,
Miles Davis, Lester Young, Stan Getz, Ben-
ny Goodman, Woody Herman, and a
plethora of others. The Modern Jazz
Quartet is assured of its place in “jazz im-
mortality.” While theirs was an eagerly an-
ticipated performance, it fell short of the

mark.

tempo selection would work on the excite-
ment of the audience and increase their en-
thusiasm for the music. Instead, the even-

‘ing started with two tunes, “The Golden

Striker” and “Three Windows”, which
were very mellow and lasted well over 12
minutes. This combo of tunes dampened
the mood and was too drawn out. Granted,
MJQ has never been known as upbeat and

Beginning the performance with an up-

cian, and both of his musical styles,
straight-out pop-rock and college radio-
oriented material.

Now that he had a record deal, he need-
ed a back-up band to help him best execute
his varied styles. This is one crucial in-
stance where working at the hospital was
beneficial to Kroll’s “other” career. He hap-
pened to know a secretary in the radiology
department who had dated Gary Burke,

the drummer for Joe Jackson and Bob-.

Dylan. Kroll, with her help, sent down a
demo tape and auditioned for the Joe
Jackson band. He passed and the band
plays on the entire album. But even with a
name-band behind him and Burke produc-
ing the album, Kroll still held the upper
hand: he wrote and arranged 90 percent of
the album’s material himself.

It was Kroll’s knack for composing

me

memorable, rough-edged songs that has
gotten him national air play; K-ROCK and
WNEW in New York City, and
heavyweights in Los Angeles and Min-
neapolis have already added his first single

for AOR radio, “Help Yourself to My —
~ Heart.” This song in ‘particular is

characteristic of the many moody tracks on
the album. It is tedious — an eternity
passes before the chorus arrives; but when
the chorus strikes, it strikes hard, drawing
listeners in and leaving them more than:
pleased. as

Kroll will soon release his pop-hopeful

» “One of These Days” to top 40 stations.

This is the song Kroll is excited about —

ote the one which one Cashbox writer

describes as “one of the catchiest songs to
come across my desk in weeks. Engagingly
mainstream.”’* College stations, however,

swinging, but a jazz concert should not
start off in this fashion.

At this point, formal introductions of the -

group were made by Lewis and Jacksons.
From a cute interplay of conversation, the
audience learned that the concert would be
a tribute to the great Duke Ellington, and

would feature many of the tunes from

MJQ’s upcoming:-release. The evening

would also feature many Ellington ~

numbers as well. To their credit, the selec-
tion of Ellington tunes was a good
representation of his ability to compose.
Among these tunes, the great “Prelude to a
Kiss,” “Rockin’ in Rhythm,” and “It Don’t
Mean a Thing (if it ain’t got that swing)’

are classic Ellingtonia. However, with the
exception of “It Don’t Mean a Thing” and

“Prelude to a Kiss,” they lacked the lustre
that tunes of this caliber deserve. The cause
of this problem comes from the fact that all

_ the numbers were played from charts. In-

stead of playing the numbers from

memory, improvising in the spontaneity of-

performance, they played charts that they
have played “a thousand times.” Jazz loses
much of its enjoyability when it is ap-
proached in this manner. The enjoyment
of improvisation is to hear the same tune
but done differently every time with each
player working off the improvisations of
the previous player as they spin and weave

around the melody. Playing from charts .

leaves little room for this to happen.
During the first portion of the evening,
Lewis’ tribute to Duke, a tune simply titled
“For Ellington,” had a spiritual/religious
aspect to it, in recognition of the great
“sacred” music written by Ellington. Also
featured in the first half was a rendition of
what Lewis called Ellington's “greatest
lyrical piece: Prelude to a Kiss.” The group
used as much sensitivity as is possible when
playing from a chart in this number. It was

aren't playing either song. The song they
opted for is “Law of the Jungle,” a tur-
bulent rocker with a frenzied flute which
sounds like a modernized Jethro-Tull song.
In fact, the album’s inner sleeve takes a
quote from this song — “The meek shall
never inherit this land.”

“This song is about corporate greed,
about being a yuppie. It’s a statement that
is very anti-capitalist and even anti-Biblical.
No matter how much is bad about
Capitalists, those who fight, win,” Kroll ex-
plained, referring to that quote.

“We were told initially by promoters

_that it wouldn't do well on college radio,

but we are kickin’. We've had tons of adds
recently. Stations like BU and University
of Miami have been playing us for a long
time.” :

Kroll, although a long-time Albany resi-
dent, is having trouble getting recognition
in Albany.

“It’s crazy. I'm a local — I play at the
QE2 and Pauley’s occasionally. I recently
played at the China Club in New York and
The Paradise in Boston, two major clubs,
but I’m having a harder time trying to get
gigs right here in my home town.”

It was just recently that WCDB, the
Albany State radio station, added Two
Sides to their playlist.

‘I'm very excited. I used to play parties
there when I was starting out years ago. It’s
good to be on PYX and K-ROCK, but it

- feels great toa be on SUNY!”

Kroll will play a benefit concert for
Amnesty International, sponsored by
WPYX, at Saratoga Winners on April 16.
Come out and give this local musician the
support he deserves, and see some of the
newest, driving rock and roll around while
you're at it. C

the prettiest number of the evening. The
first half of the performance ended with
“Rockin’ in Rhythm.” This number, a col-
laboration between Ellington and baritone _
saxophonist Harry Carney, lacked the
break-neck pace that does it true justice. It
did, however, end the first segment on an
up note.

The second half of the natin ieee

_ started with a Jackson composition entitled

“Reunion Blues.” This kicked. off this seg-
ment of the performance on a much better
heading than was the case in the previous
segment. This was followed by Jackson’s
tribute to Ellington, “Maestro E. K. E.” (E.
K. E. stands for Edward Kennedy
Ellington.)

After the Ellington composition “Sepia
Panorama,” came what was perhaps. the
highlight of the performance, “It Don’t
Mean a Thing.” This number featured a
humorous interplay between the members
of the group which was warmly received
by the audience, and excellent drum work
by Connie Kay. At one point he played the
thythm alone while the other members of
the band sat back and smiled.

In this number the group “stretched out”
as far as could be expected. They seemed
to let loose in a fashion that should have
been the case throughout the performance.
They were like children playing and
laughing in sheer enjoyment of what they
were doing. This did not seem to be the
case throughout the other parts of the per-
formance. The majority of the selections
chosen for the concert were very mellow
and too drawn out, as was the case with the
opening combo of numbers.

The regular program ended with a very
interesting and creative piece written by
Lewis called “A Day in Dubrovnick.” This
number was divided into three parts with

~ each part symbolizing the city at a different

part of the day. After the expected encore,
the four elder gentlemen exited the stage
from whence they came, leaving the ma-
jority of the crowd pleased. Regrettably,
this was not the case forall. oO


4a Aspects

Totally natural, totally

n this fast-paced, 80’s kinda world,

if where fads and fashions disappear

almost as quickly as they appear, Smart-

food seems to be holding its own. Since the first

bag was sold in Hartford, Connecticut, in April

of 1985, sales have skyrocketed, with a pro-

jected ten million dollars in sales for the 1988
fiscal year.

Twenty-nine-year-old Kenneth C. Meyers is
the president of Smartfood, the company which
he founded with Andrew Martin and Martin’s
wife, Ann Whithey. A journalism graduate
from the University of Connecticut at Storrs,
Meyers is an inspiration to young, ambitious
college students wondering if their career really
has to have anything to do with their major.

The company contiues to grow. Smnarttood;

_ displayed in Heartland Store in Hartford, CT,”

Inc.'s list of Milestones includes momentous oc-
casions such as, “November, 1986 The largest
display of Smartfood ever. 6,000 bags

and “December, 1987 Smartfood rap song per-
formed by president Ken Meyers and field
marketing manager Chris Cameron. Eggs were
thrown.” — ,
Yes, kids, Smartfood is slowly taking over
the snack-food market (and perhaps the coun-
try!). So, without any further ado, here are
some opinions on Smartfood, which seems to
have ignited a new business-school theory on
college campus all over the Eastern Seaboard:
consume massive quantities of the stuff, and
someday you might just be as smart and SuC-

ful as Ken M |
cessful as Ken Meyers! DASA.

“Why didn’t I think of it

first?”

friend of mine once referred to the
A Beastie Boys as, “Why Didn’t I Think of

It First?” The same, I think, applies to

Smartfood.

Take popcorn, — just plain, ordinary pop- |

com, the kind Orville Redenbacher frowns
upon — put it in a Cheezeblaster (an ordinary
sandblaster, with the appropriate modifica-
tions), and POWEE! Cheese-flavored popcorn!

But don’t stop there. Popcorn grows in dirt,
which is about as natural as you can get, and
cheese comes from cows which eat grass which
grows in dirt. Again, about as natural as you
can get. So the stuff is ‘‘natural.”. e ¢

Let's review what we have so ae “natural”
cheese-coated popcorn. They sell the stuff at
the Mobil station by my house. So, you may
ask, what?

Take that popcorn, and, instead of putting it
in the traditional clear cellophane bag (where
anyone can see it), shroud it in mystery. In
other words, make the bag opaque. Make it
black.

We now have mysterious “natural” cheese-
coated popcorn.

Don't stop there, either! Get the geniuses in

Marketing (the ones with white shirts, ties, and
blue jeans) to design large, obnoxious ads for
local college papers. Have pictures of strangely
dressed men in bowties with smoke coming out
of their ears. Have these men plug that

mysterious “natural” cheese-coated popcorn. Of

course, remember that you're trying to appeal
to an audience that likes to think of itself as in-
telligent; call your product “Smartfood.”

by Davis Merran

Why don’t I love Smartfood? Why haven't I
sold my copy of The Dharma of the Sun and
the Moon (from a Physics and Buddhism class)
to buy a bag’ or two? Why haven't I written
home: “Dear Dad, send money so | can buy
mysterious bags of cheese-coated popcorn.”?
First of all, I need the book for the final, and my

dad would call me at eight in the morning ask-

ing about the letter. (“Have you had a little too
much to drink, son?’)

Secondly, I wouldn't do those _ things
because . . . IT’S CHEESE-FLAVORED POP-
CORN! Wake up, world — I don’t care if it’s

* natural or mysterious or plugged in large ads by

strangely-dressed men in bowties — “it’s still
cheese-coated popcorn!

I've never been the kind to jump on the

_ bandwagon. I don’t own a hacky-sack. I don’t

go out and get drunk. I don’t wear Reeboks. So
maybe it’s just my aversion to doing what

everyone else thinks is “it.” Maybe I like the »

idea of being a little different.

Or maybe, just maybe, I haven't eaten
enough of the stuff for the subtle brainwashing

chemicals imbedded in the cheese to take effect.

Maybe after another handful or two I'll “see the
light” and sell my soul for Smartfood.

Maybe I'll go to class, wearing my Reeboks,
hackysack in one hand, Smartfood in the other,

sit down and ask the cute girl next to me “Wan-

na go out and get drunk?”

Maybe not. =

“We can buy drugs
— easier than we can

find Smartfood.”

—excerpt from an
actual letter from a
bunch of desperate
college students

The Stuff

A few years ago, a movie called The Stuff

was released. The film, a pure grade-B

flick, dealt with a yogurt-like substance
which became a national obsession. The “Stuff”
was really something from outer space that
took over people’s minds and bodies. Of
course, that was pure science fiction. But what if
a company really could create an addictive,
mind-altering substance that passed FDA
testing?

Not long after the release of The Stuff, came
the release of the Smartfood. Smartfood, for
those of you who've been locked in your rooms
for the past three months, is cheese-flavored
popcorn. It’s only been around a relatively short
period of time, but. it’s already causing quite a
stir in this area.

by Brya

So what's so special about Smartfood?
Nobody really knows. If you ask someone why
they've just purchased six bags of the stuff,
they'll say, “I dunno. It’s just good.”

And it is good. The problem is, it’s not that
great. Yet, there seefns to be a new snack food
craze, and it’s just not natural. (The Smartfood
is, it’s the craze that isn’t.) There are people on
this campus becoming rapidly addicted to
popcorn. Not just popcorn, but Smartfood
popcorn. Is something wrong?

In The Stuff, the first sign of the deadly
addiction was strange behavior. If you examine
the behavior of those buying Smartfood in
large quantities, you'll notice strange behavior
patterns. By my observation, Smartfood addicts
have become moody, erratic, and ene
irritable.

What's worse is that they can substitute
whole meals for a bag of Smartfood. They
satisfy themselves with quick fixes by stuffing
their faces with Smartfood. It becomes a
dangerous and messy addiction.

There could be serious social implications to
the Smartfood phenomenon. Important
decisions could be affected by Smartfood
intake. Rumor has it that a certain well-known
minister was munching on ~a Smartfood
prototype while sinning. He promised to give
the stuff up if his wife, and os capecie
forgave him.

What if Smartfood played a role in politics?
Suppose Reagan and Gorby were munching it
while discussing disarmament. Would you feel
safe? :

Someone has to look into the Smartfood ©

craze before it’s too late. I’m not suggesting that
it’s popcorn from space, but something strange
is going on. Addiction to popcorn is not natural.

Or maybe I'm just livinginabad movie.

Confessions of an addict

-by Christopher Sciria —

‘m an addict.
| It all started with a half-ounce bag.
The euphoria was amazing, but when it
wore off, I needed more.

So I started doing four-ounce bags,
sometimes five times a week. It’s now at the
point where I need a fix every day.

I’m a Smartfood addict. I’m embarassed to
even admit it. How could something so inno-
cent looking corrupt me? _

It looks safe enough: popcorn with cheddar

cheese; it smells good and tastes great. Yet

there’s something unique about the stuff. When
the first kernel hits the back of your mouth,
you get a feeling, a sensation; you know you're
going to like this.

Then suddenly, you need more. Handfuls of
Smartfood disappear into your mouth. You're
scraping the bottom of the bag for crumbs.
You're out of Smartfood. Have to get more,
now. Go to the store, down the snack aisle on a
Grailian search. There it is. The black bag. Grab
a few, quickly to the cashier. ©

Out to the car, pop the bag open, take in that

fresh aroma, it’s almost there. Then — .

gratification.

Now, not everyone is that fervent in their

love for Smartfood. True, it’s probably the best-
snack on the market, you can read the bag to
learn about that. :

And speaking of the bag, have you ever seen
packaging like this? A black, gaudy bag, that

probably is the ugliest thing in the supermarket.

Yet inside it is a slice of heaven.
The makers of Smartfood proclaim, “We

don’t spend our money on promotion; your
satisfaction is our best advertisement.” Well, if

that’s true, the Smartfood company is getting a
lot of it recently. When little bags appear in
vending machines on campus, it quickly
vanishes.

Local stores have a hard time stocking it
because the demand is so high. It’s even in the

Rat now, taking away from the Pepperidge
Farm display.
Those Milano cookies weren't that good

anyhow. And besides, Smartfood is less fatten-

ing and better for you also. Remember, college
students have to be healthy for a full day of
school!

Soon after I got hooked on Smartfood, | aa
my roommates to try it. Though not as serious-
ly addicted as I am, they need an occasional fix.
Spring Break could have been a trauma if I
hadn't bought five bags to bring home in order
to survive. They were gone in three days. Un-
fortunately, my friends at home didn’t share my
new found enthusiasm. They tried it, and said,
“It’s only cheesecorn.” | feel sorry for the poor,
uneducated knaves. |

Now that Smartfood is popular, there are
copies of it out there. “All natural and no
preservatives,” they proclaim. Nothing comes
close to the original. Even the ads are a little dif-
ferent. There’s one on the radio where a
Japanese guy is insulting American culture in
something that sounds like Japanese. There is an
American translating with a serious sounding
voice. Then the Japanese guy says his first word
in English — “Smartfoo!’’ Cute, not spectacular,

but it gets the point across.

So what is the point? I think that the makers
of Smartfood just want to create a product that
people will enjoy. And enjoy it they do.

The back of the Smartfood bag is a testament

to their success. According to the bag, they've

received marriage proposals and_ gotten
thousands of letters.
That’s scary. Could you imagine an entire na-

tion of Smartfood addicts? Well, at least we’d

be more healthy. It will be interesting to see

where Smartfood-mania will go. Somehow I

think my addiction will never end.
Well, I'd like to write more but | have this

Staying fit for college life

widely-quoted adage to the lean

high school grads heading off to

college. “The food is so starchy you'll gain
15 pounds your first year!”

Certainly there is something to be said

for the lacking quality of mandatory grub,

feigning sustenance, at most colleges (par-

Fr reshman fifteen!’’ warns the

ticularly Albany State). However, one .

should not resign themselves to simply
allow it to happen; living on or off-campus,

there are ways to eat nutritiously, without

spending a mint at the grocer’s.

Danielle M. Gagnon

A good start in finding out some basic
nutritional facts is to read Fit for Life — the
number 1 best-selling health and diet book
by California nutritionists Harvey and
Marilyn Diamond, which quietly sparked
ripples of controversy within their field.
The Diamonds’ newest book, Living

‘Health, explores an overall lifestyle as op-

posed to just diet. Co-author Marilyn Dia-
mond recently spoke to ASPECTS about
her health/nutrition philosophy (part of a
broader, emerging philosophy known. as

Natural Hygiene), and its application
within a collegiate environment.

Diamond had studied at N.Y.U., aspiring
to a career as a translator at the United Na-
tions. She began studying nutritional
philosophies after receiving her’ bachelor’s
degree in Romance languages.

“I have a very vivid memory of my. col-
lege experience,” recalls Diamond. “I was
Dean’s List and Phi Beta Kappa all the way,
but it almost killed-me. I was very uncom-
fortable in college — I was sick a lot,
depressed, and had a low-energy feeling all
the time. I now attribute that to having
been on a totally inappropriate diet.

“By the time I was 25 I realized, ‘Hey,
this is a lousy feeling!’, and I wanted to
know why I felt that way. I began to ex-
plore some of the new ideas filtering
through about diet, like maybe we
shouldn't be eating so much white bread. |
met Harvey, who'd been studying the
same things, and we were just coming into
the infancy stages of the new health
philosophy. Once I changed my diet, there

was such a tremendous change in my life,
that | felt it was my responsibility to share

that with people.”
> Diamonds’ Fit for Life nutrition
en, which espouses (but does not
ate) vegetarianism as the optimum
“+: was met with an expected measure of
-+ oversy because it refutes a faction of
1only accepted beliefs. For example, a
ary component of the philosophy is

‘Food Combining, which completely con-

tra.acts the standard of including each of
the four food groups — meats, fruits and
vegetables, dairy, and breads — as part of a
“nutritious” meal.

According to the Diamonds, there are
two types of foods: concentrated and non-
concentrated. A non-concentrated food,
a.k.a. a water-based food, is a fruit or
vegetable; any food other than those is
concentrated. The principle of Food Com-
bining holds that only one concentrated
food per lunch or dinner should be eaten,
with plenty of vegetables. That means
chicken shouldn’t be eaten with rice, and
steak shouldn't be served with a baked
potato and sour cream; Diamond explains
why ill-combined meals pose a problem.

“Proteins and starches require two total-
ly different digestive secretions to break
them down; proteins require acidic, and
starches require alkaline enzymes. And
anyone who's taken a chemistry course

knows what happens when they mix —

they neutralize each other, and digestion is
impaired. The food sits in the stomach, in-
stead of being broken down, and _ it
ferments.

“Americans spend $2 billion dollars on
digestive aids every year. Basically, we are
encouraged to do things that are not good
for us, and then take drugs to counteract it.
We see it on television all the time: ‘I loved
the Mexican food, I loved the pizza. . . |
love the Kaopectate’ — that’s a very subtle
brainwashing that’s going on. Drugging is
big, big business — bigger than the oil in-
dustry. And I don’t believe that this species
was meant to be drugged to make it on the
planet.”

Protein is a highly misunderstood food
— although beef, for example, has protein,
it is cow protein and not human protein;
therefore, the body has to break down and
rebuild it into an acceptable form — which
taxes the body’s energy. To build protein,
the body requires 23 specific amino acids,
eight of which it must obtain from food in-
take; vegetables have all or most of these
eight “essential” amino acids, which are in
usable form at the time they are digested.
Red meat, says Diamond, is the worst
offender.

“l really wouldn't recommend red meat,
for several reasons. It is the heaviest food:
you can eat — it takes far more energy
than it gives you, so you're dividing your
energy between your work and your
steak, and I don’t know if it’s worth it for
students to do that anymore.

“Secondly, the meat we are getting in |

the United States is so full of harmful
chemicals. The meat is not fresh — it could
only be fresh if you went out and killed it
yourself. It’s been treated to look nice and

‘red, but without chemicals would look

spotty brown or gray.

“There is a by-product of meat consump-
tion called uric acid. Every carnivorous
animal in nature has an enzyme called
uricase, which breaks it down. But humans
don't fit into that category, and we have no
uricase — so when we eat meat, the result .
is quite a bit of uric acid coarsing through
our veins, which is extremely poisonous to
us. It gives us a rushy, stimulated, uncom-
fortable feeling. In fact, when they autopsy
leukemia patients, they are found to have
very high levels of uric acid.

“People can feel the chemicals — as soon
as you stop eating the meat, you realize

‘that you've been in a state of semi-
_ poisoning maybe all of your life. You feel

lighter, more mellow, and you sleep
better.”

The nutrients of water-based foods
(fruits and vegetables) are easily broken
down and their nutrients rapidly absorbed
into the bloodstream, thereby giving the
most energy for the least effort. Fruits, in
particular, are unique in that they are
predigested (requiring little or no energy to
digest), and are a pure source of fructose,
easily converted to glucose, the form of
sugar directly absorbable into the brain for
energy. For this reason, the most important

principle of the Fit for Life program is the
intake of only fresh fruit in the morning.
“The food you eat in the morning is so
important,” says Diamond. ‘During that
time, until about noon, your body is still
cleansing and eliminating toxins from the
previous day. If improper cleansing takes
place, the body is forced to store toxins;
and that lays the foundation for ill-health,
weight gain, and disease. Proteins and star-
ches will slow the body down, but fresh
fruit doesn’t require any digestive energy,
but gives lots. Proper food combining will
ease digestion, maximize energy, and
generally move you to a higher level of

health.”

This is all well and good — but how can

Joe Student survive on a strained off-
campus budget or, worse still, an on-
campus meal plan? A mother of 3 with one
son in college, Diamond is more than
qualified to discuss the trials and tribula-
tions of ‘surviving college food.
“On-campus food is really one of my pet
peeves,” she says. “You kids are our major
resource! It’s deplorable that the future of
our country is forced to make it on such in-
ferior food. | would advise on-campus
_students to focus in on fruit, which is

FRUIT SMOOTHIE (5 min.)
1 cup fresh orange or apple juice

41 frozen or fresh banana

1 apple, 1 peach, 1 cup strawberries, or 14 papaya, or 1-2

cups of any fruit you desire

Place juice, banana, and fruit of your choice in blender.
Liquify. Makes 1 large or 2 small Smoothies.

GARLIC BROILED CHICKEN (25 min.)

’ Basting sauce:
12 teaspoon garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon sea salt, seasoned salt, or salt-free seasoning

Fresh ground black pepper

1 whole chicken breast, halved, skinned

Combine all ingredients for basting sauce in small bowl.
Brush over chicken. Broil for ten minutes each side, 2
inches from heat, brushing frequently with sauce. Serves 1-2.

available at most cafeterias. At lunch, have .
a big salad, and for dinner, have something
hot, but remember to food-combine.”

For off-campus students who have to
cook for themselves, she recommends buy-
ing a pot with a steamer, a medium-sized
frying pan, a big pot for making pasta, an
inexpensive orange squeezer, and a large
salad bowl.

“Always keep lots of vegetables on
hand. Have things readily available so that
when you come home, it’s not real hard to
put a decent meal together. Broccoli,
cauliflower and carrots are so easy to steam,
in five to ten minutes. Once you have
steamed vegetables, there are three ways
to go. =

“If a person has a weight problem, mix
the steamed vegetables right in with
whatever raw vegetables you like, and
dressing; we call that a ‘main course salad’.
A second way to go, if you're feeling you
need something a little more filling, is what
we call the ‘Tortilla Boogie,’ which the
surfers in California have used for years.
Heat a tortilla on a dry skillet (no oil) until
it is hot and soft; spread on mayo, butter or
mustard, and put a row of steamed
vegetables on with some lettuce or sprouts,
and roll it up — it’s like a veggie burrito.

“The third option is to have your steam-

. ed vegetables with brown rice or pasta —

mix them together with garlic butter and
cream, and eat with a big salad. Or if you
want to have meat, have some chicken or
fish broiled (the quickest way to cook
them) with steamed vegetables, and a
salad.

“That's high energy food, that will allow
people to work late into the evening, and
get up in the morning and take a final, and
not feel exhausted. Plus, it helps keep your
weight down. In the work I have done, I've

‘ found that a vegetarian or food-combined

diet gives people the most energy, and kids
in college are under such a heavy work
load, they really need energy.”

The Fit For Life philosophy is unique in
that it is a nutrition plan, not a diet
regimen; if followed, ideal body weight
will be maintained naturally, without
limited food portions. Staying fit during
college life may require changes in the way
one thinks about food, and some planning,
but the way you'll look and feel will
reward your efforts exponentially. 0

Rasically stupid
To the Editor

I was genuinely pleased to learn that State Quad
Evangelist James Lamb has faired so well in the elections
for S.A. President these past few days. On a similar note,
I was also pleased to learn that the Mets and Yankees
were involved in a three-way deal sending Don Mattingly
and Daryl Strawberry away for two little-league players-
to-be-named later.

Actually, this did not come as a surprise to me. This
year’s elections have had everything from policy viola-
tions and controversy, to candidate assaults and character
attacks. But it is still laughable that results like this could
have come about.

During his campaign, Mr. Lamb made a point of pro-
claiming himself State Quad’s Safety Messiah for his in-
volvement with the Student Watch Program. This pro-
gram is, without a doubt, both necessary and worthwhile,
but it is still in a developmental stage and has many flaws.
Furthermore, Student Watch has five directors who have
done at least as much for the program as has James, and
to whom James rarely gives credit despite the fact that
four out of five of them are on his campaign staff.

As a side note, this is the same James ‘‘Safety’’ Lamb
that reported 200 of his campaign posters and a small
amount of cash stolen after his suite room and doors were
left wide open while no one was there. Coincidentally, his
U.P.D. report was filed only after he was called on to ex-
plain four blatant poster violations.

Another topic on which I take James Lamb to task is

his involvement in the issue of cable TV on campus.

Lamb, who made it sound as if he was single-handedly

responsible for getting us cable for next year many times
during his campaign, also had this to say, ‘‘The university
has been dealing with Capitaland Cablevision since
1978...’’ (ASP — 2/23/88). In other words, Mr. Lamb
was in the fourth grade when the administration started

negotiations with Capitaland Cable and I doubt that after
ten years, James added much new insight to speed those
negotiations to their conclusion. Come on James, we all
know the word ‘‘gullible’’ is in the dictionary.

Now, we don’t know how familiar the readers are with
the recent Supreme Court case Mr. Lamb was involved
in, but we would be more than happy to enlighten them.

Michael Andrews, another SA presidential candidate,
took James to court for violating Section 707.2A1B of the
Election Regulations Act which states, ‘‘only two masters
will be allowed.’’ (A master is the typeset from which an
elections poster is printed or copied). Mr. Lamb
mistakenly interpreted the policy and produced a third
master. This is despite the fact he was on the very com-
mittee which revised the elections policy and the fact that
normal people learn the difference between the number
two and three somewhere before their sophomore year in
college.

The SA Supreme Court ruled that James was indeed
in violation of the policy and was subsequently removed
from the ballot for only his University Council seat. Ob-
viously, the scales of justice are balancing on a fine edge
if a candidate who blatantly violates policy is allowed to
remain on the ballot for an S.A. Executive office.

As an added fun-fact to this case, the present Elections
Commissioner and member of the executive branch, who
allowed Mr. Lamb to remain on the ballot even after
three separate formal complaints of policy violation were
filed, was also proven incorrect in her interpretation of
policy. I suppose, therefore, that I can come to the con-
clusion that the ASP should endorse a candidate that
doesn’t know SA policy since obviously SA high brass
doesn’t seem to care if they appoint one.

In all, it’s safe to say that I feel James Lamb is not only
a poor candidate, but he is a dangerous one. We must
remember, however, the old axiom which states that peo-
ple are basically stupid. And, if this is truly the case, it is
only fitting that James Lamb is the people’s choice for
SA president.

Six speak for all

To the Editor:

I am writing this letter in response to the ASP’s SA
election endorsements on April 11th 1988. I am opposed
to the fact that six people representing the ASP are allow-
ed to present their preferred candidates to the entire stu-
dent body, while nobody else has this means. The ASP is
the major, and many times, only form of campus-wide
communication. In my view, I don’t think that the En-
dorsement Board should be able to bias the views of many
voters who may have been indifferent. I’m not against
freedom of the press, but I am for the students being able
to draw their own conclusions before voting.

I suggest that the ASP curtail the endorsement process
in the future. They should continue with their questions
and responses by candidates, in addition to statements by

‘the candidates themselves, as was recently printed in The
Student Voice. Another idea might be including a list of
their achievements on campus. I don’t think a capable
student’s campaign should be hindered by the opinion o
half a dozen people.

Meat and cockroaches

To the Editor

While eating breakfast in the Alden Hall cafeteria on
Alumni Quad on Tuesday, I made a disgusting discovery:
a cockroach in my scrambled eggs. I immediately brought
this to the attention of the kitchen supervisor who asked
me to come into the kitchen and see how they receive the
eggs that they use. The eggs are in liquid form, packed in
half gallon containers like milk cartons. This only proves
to me that the cockroach did, in fact, find its way into my
breakfast in the kitchen of that cafeteria. Needless to say,
I could not eat that day. »

We are receiving an increase in board charges effective

~ fall 1988. According to an article that I read in the ASP,

this rate increase is supposed to be used to increase the
quality of the food. I don’t care if I’m being served filet
mignon, I won’t eat it with cockroaches.

I don’t want to minimize the need for an increase in
food quality, but sanitation is certainly a higher priority.
On two separate occasions there has been a dog roaming
around the Alden cafeteria during dinner. I have seen a
number of squirrels in the Dutch Quad cafeteria and it is
not uncommon to see a mouse in the Campus Center
Commuter cafeteria. I am sure that there are many other
students on campus who have seen other health hazards
connected with U.A.S.

Why should we be subjected to these disgusting and
dangerous health hazards? We are forced to purchase a
meal plan in order to live on campus and in my opinion
these plans are not cheap. Something must be done.to
eliminate these hazards before anyone does get physically
ill, if it hasn’t happened already.

Protest never passe

To the Editor:

As the barrage of criticism concerning our University’s
left wing groups continues to mount, I find it distrubing
to realize how those who complain about it, regard such
actions as protesting and speaking for what one believes
in. Most letters that have appeared in the ASP include
some reference to the 1960’s when discussing the ‘‘anti-
establishment’’ behavior of such groups as Peace Pro-
ject. Such is the case in a recent letter by David Nazareth
Nizen in which he informs us that ‘‘the 60’s are gone
folks’’.

The reference to the 60’s implies that it was in this time
period that one could speak their mind and that those are
days gone by, out of style or passe. This is the 80’s
(almost 90’s) and we should all grow up and leave the hip-
pie, free love garbage behind.

I find such attitudes ridiculous and even paradoxical
coming from college students. Born in the latter part of
the 1960’s I couldn’t understand Sesame Street at the time
of protest about Vietnam or shootings at Kent State. I
feel no attachment or need to emulate those who did what
needed to be done back then. Today is a different day
with different situations and circumstances. As a young
adult and member of the group with one of the lowest
voter turnouts, I welcome the sight of fellow students
voicing their opinions, however radical they might be.

Yes, this is the 80’s but just as has happened before,
there are young men abroad being sent to protect coun-
tries they can’t find on a map. We have people living on
the streets and Donald Trump is throwing nickles at them
as they walk by. The calendar has moved ahead but we
stili have problems and as before the young people, as the
leaders and members of our next generation, are rising up
to bring these issues into the spotlight.

To those who bear the flack and dare to speak your
minds, I salute you. For the critics, I invite you to stop
dwelling on the past and join with me in hope that we
never lose the right to form and speak out our opinions in
this great country of ours.

So long health care

To the Editor:
What would life at SUNYA be like without our Student

Health Center? We may soon find out. For, unbeknownst |

to the students, the administration has been eroding the
quality of health care.

Over the years and even today the administration has
been systematically reducing the number of paid hours
allowed the doctors at the infirmary. If a staff person
leaves, they are not replaced. For a campus population
which is 52 percent female, there is only one out of the six
doctors who is female. And of those six doctors only two
are so-called full time.

I very much wish that the Student Association would
fully investigate this situation. Speak with the staff and
doctors at the Student Health Center. Don’t just take the
word of the O’Leary Administration.

This administration appears to be undercutting our
health services and they’!l continue to do so and get away
with it only if we let them.

— Leon J. Desormo

Rape of a candidate

To the Editor

One of many services offered to the collegiate popula-
tion here at SUNYA is the Albany Student Press,(ASP).
It is here that a small group of students report on various
issues that affect the campus at large. A recent service
provided by the ASP were the endorsements of the can-
didates for the SA offices. A panel reviews these can-
didates and from their opinions, an endorsement is made.
But what this board of six has failed to realize is the
weight that their choice words carry.

An ASP endorsement has become a major catapult into
office, as has an ASP rejection been the death of many
campaigns. This letter is not meant to detract from the
people endorsed, but it is meant to openly criticize an ap-
parently unjustified, personally biased, blatant attack of
one of the candidates. This rape of the candidate also
comes on the eve of the election, leaving no time for an
adequate rebuttal. Does this panel realize the power of
the pen? In a few short paragraphs, this group of six peo-
ple thoroughly destroyed a campaign worked on for mon-
ths with an evaluation of piecemeal quotes gathered to
portray their slanderous point of view. Should six people
have this much power in the election process? In the
future, I would hope you could think of the consequences
of your opinionated writing and leave the termination of
the campaign trail to a loss at the voting booths — in.the
hands of the student body!

Jackson

<Front Page

At the breakfast, Whalen ‘‘pin-
ned’’ Jackson with the city pin,
joking that five presidential can-
didates had lived in Albany.

“I would suggest a direct route
to the White House is [for
Jackson] to quickly establish
residence,’? Whalen laughed.

Following the breakfast,
Jackson led a ‘‘parade’’ of press
busses and supporters where he
met Cuomo in private and later
jointly at the news conference.

After the news conference,
Jackson headed a rally at the Em-
pire State Plaza downtown, where
a crowd of approximately 2,500
gathered. The crowd began to
form at 11 a.m.; Jackson arrived
at 12:30.

‘“Hope has been reborn,’’
Jackson said, after taking the
stage carrying two young
children. Jackson spoke about
ending racism, sexism, and anti-
semitism in order to achieve unity
to solve problems. _

“‘As we struggle to end
economic violence against
farmers and workers, we find
common ground,’’ Jackson said.

Jackson gave the anecdote of
how his grandmother would bring
together old rags. Separately,
Jackson said, the rags are useless.
But when she bought the rags
together, she had a quilt. ‘“We are
the quilt. We are the rainbow,”’
Jackson said.

Jackson urged the audience to

find faith and renew spirit
through, ‘‘the power of hope, the
power of respect, the power of
healing, and the power of
reunion.”’
_ Speaking about President
Reagan, Jackson said, ‘‘I would
rather have Roosevelt in a
wheelchair than Reagan on a
horse.”’

Addressing criticism that he
does not have experience as a
leader, Jackson told the crowd, ‘‘
some office holders are not
leaders and some leaders are not
office holders.’’

Jackson said that priorities of
the government should be revers-
ed. He gave the example of how
four years at a New York State
University costs less than $30,000,
yet four years in a prison costs
over $160,000. Jackson felt more
money should be given to
education.

Before closing, Jackson told
the group some of his campaign
platforms. He said he wants to
raise the minimum wage, create a
war against drugs, create a labor
relations board that does not
seves as ‘‘strike-busters,”’ and end
discrimination based on sex and
race.

Jackson also called for peace in
Latin America and the Middle
East, and freedom and fairness in
South Africa.

Jackson asked for volunteers to
help campaign in Albany on
Tuesday, the day of the New
York State Democratic Primary.

‘And now on April 19, I want.

you, and you, and you, and you
to stay with me,” Jackson said

before departing to campaign =

Syracuse.

FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1988 (1 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS 1 1

Govt. corruption discussed at Giuliani speech

By lan Wagreich
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Business ethics was the topic
that Federal Prosecutor Rudolph
Giuliani spoke about Tuesday
night at the Campus Center
before a group of about 200
SUNYA faculty and students,
during his 90-minute
presentation.

Giuliani is one of many profes-
sionals who have been invited to
SUNYA to speak about business
ethics in the past months.

Most known for his prosecu-
tion of the mob and of insider
traders like Ivan Boesky, Giuliani
is highly regarded in the law pro-
fession, and was introduced as the
most knowledgable person in the
field of criminal law in the
country.

Giuliani said he was not here to
boast about who he has
‘“‘investigated, prosecute, and sent
to prison,’’ but to ‘educate peo-
ple to obey and respect the rule of
all.

‘“‘Ethics are basic fundamental
values that must be learned at an
early age,’’ Giuliani said. ‘““We
must learn to obey the law at an
early age.

“Between 1934 and 1984, 11
people were indicted for insider
trading. Between 1984 and 1988,
47 people have been indicted —
that comparison explains much of
the problem and is an approach to
solve the problem,’ Giuliani said.

‘Four and a half years ago, we
uncovered $100,000 in tax eva-
sion; now that figure is
$100,000,000 after 26 cases have
been heard. .. it’s our respon-
sibility as Americans to pay taxes
and obey the law, but with a
positive attitude.

“Prosecuting people is very
devastating to people and
families. I get a dual reaction,’
Giuliani commented. ‘‘I feel sorry
for people intially because it is a
very devastating thing to happen,
but then I feel a sense of reward.
It’s very valuable to society, it

“‘We must learn to obey the law at
an early age.”’

— Rudolph Giuliani

‘*A vast majority of the people
that my office investigates, pro-
secutes, and sends off to prison
do not fit the stereotype of the
American criminal,’’
said. ‘‘Most people are educated
and make a decent living.”

Although Giuliani said he
could not take a position about
the Tawana Brawley case due to
its high publicity and public in-
volvement, ‘‘the best thing is that
whatever happened, Tawana
Brawley should cooperate and
should be questioned in detail,
there is a responsibility on her
part to explain what happened,”
Giuliani said. ‘“We are very in-
volved in the investigation.

Giuliani

helps create a more lawful ethical
environment — yes, it’s
rewarding.”’

Giuliani placed much emphasis
on the level of corruption in the
government. ‘‘What America has
to do in the future is train govern-
ment in ethics.’’ Giuliani equated
today’s level of corrpution with
the years of 1880 and 1890, ‘‘If
we change the names, we see a
similar level of corruption.”’

In his talk, Giuliani cited many
current cases of government cor-
ruption in and around New York
State. One instance, according to
Giuliani, is a bribery scandal un-
covered when 105 public officials

were offered a bribe, 104 accepted
it, and 57 people were arrested.
Giuliani encouraged students to
*“‘have a sense of more hope to
change things, a way to react to
problems and not to feel like
things can’t be accomplished. If
you see a problem you’ve got to
try to change it, even in the
smallest way if possible.’’
Giuliani has plans to run for
public office, but not in the near
future. ‘‘I enjoy public office and

would like to run, the reluctance
has to do with my job,’’ Giuliani
explained. ‘‘I’m not going to run
for Senate this year because a lot
of things were going on [current
investigations] and are at sensitive
points.’’

Kenny Horn, a student at
SUNYA who attended the lecture
said, ‘the gave a very insightful
look at business ethics and how
they should be solved. He seemed
very knowledgable.’’ C]

IELP helps promote student
language skills, interaction

By Sharon Berle |

The Intensive English Language Pro-
gram (IELP) is celebrating its 10th
anniversary.

Started in 1978 by a small gruop of
SUNY faculty members from the school of
education, the IELP began as a summer
program for the purpose of improving the
English language skills for those whom
English is a second language.

The IELP is intended for people seeking
admission to an American university, as
well as for people who need it for personal,
professional, or business reasons.

The program became year round begin-
ning in 1980 because of the large amount of
applications they received. It now runs 16
weeks in the fall and spring and eight
weeks in the summer. :

The program consists of 25 hours a week
of study. Services to students include
English proficiency, acculturation, study
skills and counseling.

According to Director of the IELP, Dr.
Susan M. Losee, ‘‘Our first job is to make
them feel at home and secure and able to
trust people and able to take chances and
that’s done simultaneously with their lear-
ning English, starting on the second day.”’

The first day of the program involves
testing. Students are tested with a battery
of exams that will place them at a proper
level of study. The levels are beginning,
low intermediate, high intermediate and
advanced.

The coursework for the program in-
volves the traditional classes, such as
grammar, reading, composition, listening
comprehension, and conversation. Accor-
ding to the IELP brochure, ‘‘The
philosophy of the IELP is that English is
best learned when all skills, written and
oral, are combined in that effort.”’

The classes run four days a week, except
for Wednesday. On Wednesday, students
have total preparation for the TOEFL
(Test of English as a Foreign Language)
that will indicateif their proficiency level is
acceptable for a university or school.
Classes on Wednesday include study skills,
idiomatic English, word study, and

pronunciation.

‘In order to set up a Wednesday
schedule we find out what they’re in-
terested in and what they feel they need,”
Losee said.

The only criteria required for a student
in the IELP is an age of at least 16 or have
graduated from high school. For immigra-
tion purposes a student would have to sign
a statement that they have the money for
the program.

There is no funding or scholarships of-
fered to those who need it. Losee said he
hopes that at some time this will change,
but for now they receive no money from
SUNYA so everything depends on the
money they bring in from students. The
IELP is an independent program under the
school of education.

At the moment there is no program for

“SUNYA matriculated students, who find

that they lack in their command of English
as a second language. ‘‘One of the things
that I feel very sorry about is that the
University has not seen fit to come up with
the funds necessary for us to offer courses
at the University,’’ Losee said.

One thing the IELP tries to stress 1s
strong interactions between its students.
The IELP’s present enrollment is 46 peo-
ple according to Losee. In the 10 years that
they have operated there have been about
1100 students. The average class size is 10
students.

The students have coffee hour four days
a week. There is also group work in the
classes.

Students also go through a multicultural
education program. ‘They spend time in
an American home and in a public school
classroom with young kids so that they can
talk about their countries. They will speak
English, but they will also try to teach
some of their language to the little kids,’’
Losee said.

This program and others try to give the
students a taste of American culture. Ac-
cording to Assistant Director Mary Kay
Sawyer, ‘‘We have a conversation partner

program that enables our people to con-

SUNY conference simulates international politics

By John Lizzul

On April 8-10 a delegation of
15 SUNYA students participated
in a unprecedented educational
experience when they traveled to
SUNY Brockport to attend the
SUNYMEC (State University of
New York Model European Com-
munity) conference.

The first conference anywhere
in the world to simulate the ac-
tivities of the European Com-
munity, the 12-nation bloc of
European countries who founded
for the purpose of European
economic and _ supranational
unity.

The foundations of the com-
munity were fully established in
1957 with the Treaty of Rome
signed by Belgium, Italy, France,

Luxembourg, the Netherlands,
and West Germany. The Com-
munity has been enlarged three
times since then, with the asces-
sion of Britain, Denmark, and
Ireland in 1972 and 1973, follow-

ed by Greece in 1981 and Spain

and Portugal in 1986.

Most recently Turkey, present-
ly an associate member, has ap-
plied for full ascession and the
SUNYMEC conference, in a
simulation of an actual Com-
munity meeting, addressed this
request for admission.

The conference presented a
valuable opportunity to learn
about the economic and political
workings of the European Com-
munity. Students assumed the
roles of actual European Com-

Ministers, and European Council.

Throughout the weekend, deci-
sions concerning the ascession of
Turkey were arrived at through
intense negotiation and debate.
This process was supplemented by
distinguished guests who spoke at
committee hearings on human
rights, the state of Turkish
democracy, and the compatibility
of the Turkish and European
Community economies.

The conference opened Friday
afternoon with a keynote address
by Sir Roy Denman, head of the
Delegation of the Commission of
the European Communities to the
United States. Joining him on the
distinguished guest list were
Daryal Batihay and Necip Eguz
of the Turkish Embassy in
Washington D.C. who spoke on
the economic and overall com-

patibility of Turkey and the Euro-.

pean Community.

Additional guests included
SUNY Brockport Professor
Ralph R. Sisson representing
Amnesty International and Pro-
fessor Dankwart Rustow of the
CUNY graduate center speaking
on the state of Turkish
democracy.

The conference was attended
by seven schools: SUNYA,
SUNY Brockport, SUNY Cor-
tland, SUNY Geneseo, SUNY
Jamestown C.C., Skidmore Col-
lege, and SUNY Erie C.C.

The conference was ad-
ministrated entirely by SUNY
Brockport students. SUNYA
students represented the countries
of Denmark and Italy. Coordina-
tion and advisement throughout
prepartory stages and the con-
ference itself was provided to

Students shun work-study

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
Several campuses across the coun-
try say they can’t find enough

_ students willing to take their

work-study jobs.

Students, officials at the
schools say, would rather work
off-campus in jobs that pay
higher wages and don’t require
them to meet burdensome new
federal College Work-Study pro-
gram regulations.

At Penn State, for example, a
drastic shortage of work-study

students crippled the university

library system, forcing the school
to reduce services.

The University of Washington,
moreover, found that ‘‘many’’ of
the work-study students it hired
last fall recently have left to take
higher paying jobs off campus.

Many academic departments at

Northern Illinois University also

are finding themselves
understaffed.

Work-study programs, funded
by the federal and state govern-
ments, provide a lion’s share of
wages for students working on
campus. The college department
that employs the student pays the
remainder.

Besides providing financial aid |

to students, work-study programs
also provide campuses with a sub-
‘sidized source of cheap labor.
Penn State library official Rod
Henshaw said hiring part-time
and full-time employees to fill the
vacant positions would cost his
department an additional
$50,000.

Many students are opting not
to take work-study jobs because
of changes in federal student aid

qualifications.

“Often a student now has a
choice of a guaranteed student
loan or a work-study award, in-
stead of receiving both,’ said
Nick Rengler, the associate direc-

tor of student financial aid at
Northern Illinois University.

“*Students who need money for
tuition or residence hall payments
up front choose the loan,”’’
Rengler said. ‘‘I wish I could con-
vince more students to borrow
less.”’

Other students are eschewing
work-study jobs for higher-
paying off-campus positions.
Washington, in fact, may pay
bonuses to students who work 100

hours or more per quarter to keep

those employees on campus.

There are exceptions to the
shortage.

The University of New Mexico,
for one, imposed a hiring freeze
for work-study positions until the
end of the spring.

‘‘We have more people work-
ing more hours, so we’ve got to
slow it down,’’ said John
Whiteside, associate director of
the financial aid office. eee

University of Arizona cancels
Hunter Thompson’s engagement

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
Flamboyant writer Hunter S.
Thompson, as noted for being
late to campus speaking
engagements as for his ‘‘gonzo
journalism’’ portraits of the 1972
presidential campaign, was stood
up by the University of Arizona
student government last week.

Student President Reuben A.
Carranza vetoed a funding
measure March 10 that would
have brought Thompson to speak
on campus, and the students
association upheld the veto by
one vote.

Carranza said he would have
approved of Thompson’s visit if it

Thompson once threw an ice

Carranza argued.

For his Arizona visit, Thomp-

Thompson, however, may not

‘‘The impact was made,’’ Tom

“It’s a good feeling to get your -

Gogola felt that ‘‘apathy is ig-

Congress considers

bill to raise basic wage

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — A
bill now in Congress that would
raise the minimum wage for $3.35
and hour to $4.65 in the next few
years might make it harder for
students to find summer and part-
time jobs, campus placements of-
ficers say, but probably would
help them more that it would hurt
them.

A Senate subcommitte approv- |

ed its version of the bill two weeks
ago, setting the stage for a final
congressional vote before the end
‘of 1988.

Students, the bill’s advocates
say, need the extra money a
higher minimum wage would
bring.

‘‘The. minimum wage has
stayed the same for seven years,”’
said Jay Harvey, an aide to bill
cosponsor Sen. Edward Kennedy
(D-Mass.). ‘‘Tuition has increas-
ed tremendously during that same
period, while financial aid has

‘ dropped.”’

The minimum wage should be
increased,’’ agreed Veleria
Shavers of Kentucky State
University’s career placement of-
fice. ‘‘Since it hasn’t been raised
in seven years, the cost of living
has outpaced earnings.”’

Shavers also agreed that
businesses, forced to pay more,
may not be able to afford to have
as many jobs to offer students.

“But,’? Shavers maintained,
“‘students will always be able to
find part-time jobs. The jobs will
still be there. They may just have
to look harder for them.”’

For more than a year, Congress
has been debating raising the
federal minimum wage above the
current $3.35-an-hour floor. The
legislation, cosponsored by Ken-
nedy and Rep. Augustus Hawkins
(D-Cal.) would, if approved, in-
crease the minimum wage during
a three year period to $4.65.

Kennedy’s version of the bill
also would revise the minimum
wage in the 4th year to a rate one-
half of the ‘‘average private, non-
supervisory,non-agriculturall
hourly wage as determined by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics,’’
Harvey reported.

_ Harvey argued that raising the
minimum wage would motivate
people on welfare to enter the job
market, would ease the financial
burden of the working poor and
give students a better chance to
save money for college costs. O

Women’s tennis team loses match to USMA

By Nat Ruta

The Albany women’s tennis
team lost its first home match to
U.S.M.A. on Tuesday, by a score

~ of 8-1.

The top three singles players all
played short matches, which
weren’t representative of their
regular play. All three lost in two
sets each.

‘‘Our top three players all had
the same kind of singles match:

_ They just never established their
rhythm,’’ said Coach Linda
Myers.
Ellen Katz, Albany’s number
‘four player, lost her singles match
in three sets, with the last set en-
ding in a tie-breaker.

She then teamed up with
number three player Lisa
Glendening for doubles play, and
again lost in the third set.

Lauren Herman, the number
five player, who went undefeated
in the fall, lost her first match of
the year by a score of 6-4, 7-5.

Albany’s only win came from
the number six player, Lisa
Granirer, who won 6-2, 6-2.

The number one doubles team
of Caryn Levy and Laurie Wilk
lost in a very grueling match that
went three sets. Their inconsistent
playing was indicated in their loss
of 7-6, 0-6, 5-7.

Albany’s number three doubles

_ team of Lauren Herman and Lisa
_ Granirer also lost, 7-6, 6-4.

Albany did much better in
scrimmage, as the number seven
player Michele Rosenberg won
6-2, 6-2. It was her first tennis

match.
-- Albany’s number eight player,
Karen Gorden, went into three

sets, but just couldn’t pull it out.
The scores were 7-6, 3-6, 4-6.
Michele and Karen combined

to play as the number four

doubles team and won in straight
sets 6-2, 6-0.

“*I wish we could have counted
Karen and Michele’s matches into
the overall team scoring, maybe
we would have had a better
chance,’’ said Myers.

If you just looked at the final

score 1-8, you didn’t get an ac-
curate view of what went on. As
Coach Myers put it, ‘‘Almost
every match involved a tie-
breaker and/or three sets of play.
You just can’t get any closer than

that. Maybe next time we can end
up with the other side of the
Stick,’’ she said.

Albany’s next match is away on
Tuesday against Cortland. O

Men’s track team beats Hamilton and Hartwick

By Steven Silberglied
STAFF WRITER

A track meet that is decided by
the mile relay is like a basketball
game that comes down to a last
second shot.

That was the case at the Albany

track on Wednesday where an.

estimated 100 spectators saw the
Danes’ mile relay defeat
Hamiltons’ to outscore them
88-84 for the meet. Hartwick,
with 24 points was third, as the
Danes’ sweep advances the team’s
record to 4-1. :

Had Hamilton won the mile
relay, the meet would have ended
in a tie, and if Hartwick could

_ have snuck by the Danes in that

race, Hamilton would have been
the winner.

The Albany mile relay of
freshman Mike Salmon,
sophmore Jim Clancy, freshman
Jose Maymi, and junior tri-
captain David Reinhardt were not
about to let this happen.

After ‘taking the baton pass
from Salmon slightly behind,
Clancy quickly evened the gap
and in the final 100 meters of his
leg, caught the Hamilton runner
to take the lead.

Maymi held on to this margin,
and Reinhardt starved off any
possible Hamilton comeback with
a 49.9 anchor leg crossing first in
3:25.4.

‘I knew the meet came down
to this one race and I didn’t want
to let anyone down, especially
when I didn’t run will in the 800. I
felt good though, and gave it all I

had in the final 100,’’ said Clancy.

Two events earlier it looked as
if the mile relay would not have a
chance to display any heroics. At
that point, Hamilton enjoyed a
77-66 lead with only three events
remaining. Reinhardt, Maymi,
and Salmon outscored Hamilton

10-0 in the 200 meters to cut the
deficit to a single point.
Reinhardt won in 22.5 seconds,
Maymi followed in 22.9, and
Salmon was clocked at 23.0.

The Danes took the lead for the
first time in the meet in the next
event, the 5000 meters. Albany
freshman John Casey broke away
from the pack at two miles into
the race to win in 15:35.3.

For Casey, a transfer from
Villanova, it marked his best race
in an Albany uniform. Albany
sophomore David Spencer was
third, timed in 16:01.6 as the
Danes outscored Hamilton 7-4 in
that event to set the final stage for
the mile relay.

For most of the meet Hamilton
enjoyed a 10-15 point lead built
on the strength of their field event
superiority. It was the sprinting
events that kept the Danes in the
meet, and eventually won it.

Reinhardt won the 400 meters
earlier in the day in 50.1, looking
very smooth in the process. He
also participated in the victorious
4x 100 meter relay that included
Maymi, Salmon, and Junior Al
Williams that was first in 43.2.

This gave Reinhardt four vic-
tories on the day, the first Dane to
do that since Williams ac-
complished it last year, also
against Hamilton. It also improv-
ed Reinhardt’s personal winning
streak this outdoor season. In his
seven races, he has _ seven
victories.

On the day he scored 12%
points to lead the team. Salmon,
Maymi, and Williams added to
their outstanding performances
by sweeping the 100 meters.
Salmon crossed first in Il.1, the
same time as runner-up Williams.
Maymi followed in 11.2. In their
four events, Salmon scored 9%
points, while Maymi chipped in

with 7%.

- Freshman Juan Sanchez won
his two events of the day, the 110
high hurdles and the 400 in-
termediate hurdles. The hurdle
specialist had an easy time winn-
ing the 110H in 15.4, then held off
a strong challenge to win the in-
termediates in 56.6.

‘*They kept us in the meet with

the sweeps in the 100 and 200

meters. This is a young unit with
Maymi, Salmon, and Sanchez,
but they responded to the
challenge. I also can’t say enough
about Reinhardt; he gets better
with each meet,’’ said Coach
Roberto Vives. Vives gave
‘athlete of the meet’’ honors to
both Reinhardt and Salmon.

Salmon, in return, had high
praise for his coach. ‘‘I have to
give Coach a lot of credit for this
because he has been working me
so hard at practice. This is: the
first time I won a race individual-
ly this year, and first time I ever
scored in four events in one
meet,’’ he said.

The most exciting races of the
day both featured Albany Senior
Tri-Captain Trevor Hash.

First, in the 1500 meters he was
locked’ in a duel with two
Hamilton runners going into the
final 300. After the final turn, one
Hamilton runner fell off the pace,
and in a photo finish, Hamilton’s
Duncan outleaned Hash to win
4:03.1 to 4:03.4.

Hash, however, made up for
this in the 800 meters. After a
slow 62 second opening quarter,
the pace quickened on the second
lap. In the final-100 meters, Hash
was once again involved in a two
man race with Hamilton’s Dun-
can. In a similar, yet opposite
scenario, Hash with his lean, was
awarded the victory with both
runners timed at 2:01.4.

freshman Terry Dorrity in the

and sophmore Chris Kranick in

STAFF WRITER

The Albany State Women’s Outdoor
track team placed third in the 11th annual
Albany Invitational against an impressive
field of Division II and III teams.

“*We placed quite high as a team,’’ com-
mented Head Coach Ron White, ‘‘it is one
of the better invitationals around the state
in that there is a good quality of schools
that are very competitive.”’

Ithaca College took the title with 210
points followed by Southern Connecticut,
144, ‘Albany, 62, Bates, 49%, Union,
31'%, Plattsburg, 31, Stony Brook, 26,
Cortland, 17, RPI, 15, and Siena, 0.

Coach White was satisfied with the
results of the meet since many of the Danes
qualified for post Season competition.
Among these include co-Athletes of the
meet, Kim Carter and Kathy Bellantoni.

Sophomore Carter placed second in the
100m high hurdles, 17.3. This was her col-
legiate best. it also qualified her for the
New York State (NYS) and ECAC cham-
pionships. Carter also placed third in the
400m hurdles with a time of 42.1, qualify-
ing her for the ECACs.

“‘This was a real break through for

Kim’’, said Coach White, ‘‘She proved
that she can be competitive with the best
athletes.”’

Co-captain Kathy Bellantoni won the
400m hurdles and qualified for both the
NYS and ECACs with her time of 69.3.

‘‘Kathy was not leading going into the
last turn but she pulled it off, ‘‘stated
Coach White,’’ this race gave Kathy the
competition she needed.’’ ;

Bellantoni was also a member of the

°

4x100m relay that took first place. The
relay was Comprised of Bellantoni,
Michelle Kirker, Annie-Kay Nelson and
Winsome Foderingham. Coach White at-
tributes their success to the superb baton
pass between Bellantoni and Kirker.

Kirker also added to her ac-
complishments of this meet a personal best
time in the 100m dash of 12.8 which earn-
ed her a fourth place find and qualifies her
for NYS and ECACs. She also placed
Sixth in the 200m dash, 27.1.

Foderingham placed first in the 200m
dash, 25.1. She also led off the 4x400 relay
which placed third. Foderingham’s split of
1:01.3 was the fastest of that relay.

Other members of the 4x400m relay
were Nelson (1:08.2), Mary Lou Webster
(1:03.8), and Bellantoni (1:04:9), with a
combined time of 4:18.0.

Freshman Kris Layng placed sixth in the
discus, javelin and shot-put with distances
of 8779.25’, 8979.25" and 30’2%”
respectively.

Qualifying for both the NYS and
ECACs were Kerry Charron and Barbara
Ascher. Charron placed fifth in the 3000m
run with a personal best time of 10:52.0,
while Ascher placed sixth in the 10,000m
run also with a personal best, 41:26.4.

The Great Dane Rugby team enjoyed a beneficial weekend.

Rugby Invitational a success

By Christine Elliott
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The Albany Rugby was anything but hospitable to the
visitors that participated in the first Annual Albany In-
vitational Rugby Tournament this past weekend.

Both the A and B sides played with the fierceness rugby
players are notorious for, placing second and third
respectively.

In the A side’s game against Rutgers, the Danes played
convincingly. Pete and Paul Betschart and Captain Tim--
my-Walsh had outstanding games. It was Rutgers’s se-
cond defeat by the Danes this season. Senior Russel Jay
also dealt some decisive blows in the first win.

The game against Southern Connecticut was more of a
challenge. Due to injuries and other circumstances, key
players such as scrum captain Dave ‘‘Weenie’’ Wechter
and president Robert Balachandran were prevented from
participating. Southern Connecticut, a traditionallly
strong tem, was able to capitalize on this, and gained

ascendency.

‘‘All things considered, we played well. We had a lot of

injuries, though, so Southern Connecticut was able to
beat us,’’ said Dane Rob Dingman.

Playing Southern Connecticut was good practice for
the Danes, considering the upcoming Upstate
Tournament.

‘‘Southern- Connecticut is one of the better teams,’
said Dingman. ‘‘It’s good for us to play them because it
gets us ready for the pe peales where the calibre of the
teams we play is the same.’

players, lost the first game to Rutgers. Captain Mike

‘‘Slab’’ Longrio and freshman Greg Sheer played a tough
game, but the Rutgers B-side proved a little too aggressive
for the Danes.

The second game against Union found the Danes more
determined than ever to show their guests that they
weren’t about to roll over and play dead.

The B-side is held back by the fact that other teams
have size and more experience coaching. This has re-
quired them to make up the difference in other areas.

‘“‘Presented to us is basically a problem of inequality in
size, and because of that we have to make up for it in
technique and speed,’’ said returning player Forest Cot-
ten. Cotten was out for a year due to an injury sustained
during practice, and joined the B-side for his first game
since his leave.

‘“‘Due to lack of experience, they sometimes hold back
too much. What they need is direct coaching from A-side
players,’’ said Cotten. ;

The winning play was set up by scrum half Lonigro.
When an alumnus player on the sidelines called out
“C’mon you slab of meat — get a move on it,’”’ Lonigro
did just that, exhibiting the kind of outstanding in-
dividual playing that distinguishes the B-side. The second
game, however, showed them coming together as a team

This weekend the Danes will host eee and are
planning to show them no mercy. The following weekend

sweeps Engineers,
improves record

The SUNY Albany women’s softball team has a
record of 3-2 since they swept RPI on Tuesday. The
scores were 9-0 and 7-5. In their opener, the Great
Danes lost to Union 4-2: they followed that with a split
against Stony Brook Saturday. However, some of the
players feel that they should be 5-0. :
Zoraida Diaz,a sophomore third baseman,said ‘‘Our
batting has gotten better. We weren’t hitting very well in
the beginning.”’

Theresa Ferrette, a sophomore shortstop, said the
reason why they did not sweep their first three games
was ‘‘we didn’t hit in crucial parts. When we needed a
base hit (and) when there were runners on we just didn’t
execute. —

In the first game of the doubleheader against RPI,
sophomore Karen Smiley pitched brilliantly. Going the
distance, she allowed only one hit and two walks to go
with her ten strikeouts and her shutout. RPI was con-
stantly trying to bunt their way on, but the Great Danes
prevented them from reaching first base on a bunt every
time except for the first. ;
Smiley said ‘‘We’ve been playing really well together.
We really did well against RPI. I feel much better...a lot
stronger now. The pitching coach, Jack Coons, really
helped me a lot. Hopefully we’ll be able to play as best
as we can. I feel that if we play as best as we can, we
should be able to come away with some good results.”’
Coach Lee Rhenish said that that game ‘‘was the best
game that she (Smiley) ever pitched in her life. She even
came back in the second game and pitched the final inn-
ing and shut them out. We had some great defensive
plays in the game.”’

The other stars in the game were Jennifer Chimienti,
who was four for four with two doubles, two RBIs and a
pair of runs scored: Laura Dugo, who was two for four
with a triple, a run, and an RBI, and Ferrette, who went
three for four, had a double, a run, and a couple of
RBIs.
Captain and centerfielder Pat Farrell, a junior, noted
*‘Jen (Chimienti) really came through. She went four
for four...she’s hot. She’ s just on a good batting streak
right now.’’

Smiley concurred ‘‘Jennifer Chimienti really helped
me a lot.’’
Diaz revealed ‘‘our defense was very good. Everyone
was up on (their) toes. Karen Smiley pitched a good
-game.”’
The second game was closer as the final score was 7-5.
Laura Deloff, a freshman, pitched the victory with relief
help from Smiley. Deloff did better than the score
shows, because only one of the runs was earned. She
had four strikeouts, no walks, and yielded six hits.
The hitting stars were Liz Whelan, a freshman
rightfielder, who hit a key two run homerun in the
seventh inning, she was three for four, and Cassie
Weaver, who was two for two, with two walks, a triple,
and four runs.

Smiley said ‘‘(in) the second game of RPI, Liz
Whelan hit a two run homer. It was a real clincher.”’

Smiley shut out RPI in the final inning by striking out
one batter and hitting another.

Farrell said ‘“We were down in the last inning and the
team just came through, the team pulled together. The
pressure was on and we just got that (necessary) hit. We
had to sweep those games; they were very important.
We’re hitting a lot better now. In...one loss, we did not
hit until the last inning.”’

Coach Rhenish said ‘‘she (Deloff) did a good job. We
gave her the runs that she needed.”’

This weekend, they will square off against Ithaca and
Lockhaven in the Cortland Tournament. Both of them
are Division I schools.

Coach Rhenish said ‘‘We will be playing some teams
that we wouldn’t otherwise have on our schedule. We’re
improving every day...or concentration is better.”

Smiley will start the first game. The second game’s
starter has yet to be determined.

Ferrette said ‘‘I think everything we do is a huge team
effort. I’m looking forward to the competition. I think

it’s going to be-a good experience for us, because = 3
