The same day Student Association
President Chris Hahn_ reinstated
Multi-Cultural Affairs Director Rosa
Clemente, a motion was passed at Central
Council to start the impeachment process
against Hahn.
During the February 16 Central Council
meeting, the Internal Affairs Committee
read their report investigating Hahn’s
actions regarding Clemente’s temporary
recall early last month. The report led to
the motion for the impeachment process.
Clemente, who’s recall was met with
much opposition from Student
Association groups, was reinstated earlier
that Wednesday by Hahn.
“Rosa has agreed to work in harmony
with her fellow officers,” Hahn said.
At the meeting, Affirmative Action Officer,
Jose Albino, read a list of grievances
which had been filed against Hahn. The
grievances were filed by some of Hahn’s
directors as well as Student Association

Interim Chancellor appointed
as committee seeks candidate
By HERB TERNS
News Editor
The Interim Chancellor of SUNY and
members of the Search Committee for a
new Chancellor were named in a Board of
Trustees meeting last week.
Dr. Joseph C. Burke, presently Provost
and Vice Chancellor for Academic
Affairs, was named Interim Chancellor
starting March 1 until a new chancellor is
appointed.
Board of Trustees Chairman Frederic V.
Salerno said, “Joe (Burke) brings a wealth
of knowledge, experience, leadership and
wisdom to SUNY’s helm. His effective-
ness was supremely demonstrated most
recently when he temporarily took over
the responsibilities of chancellor. As a

result, this decision to name Joe to this
interim position was an easy choice for
the Trustees to make.”
Burke served as Officer—in—Charge
from September to January 24, when pre-
sent Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone was
absent due to illness. Johnstone
announced his retirement February 7, cit-
ing health reasons.
The Board also named an 18 member
committee to conduct a nationwide search
for a new Chancellor. William F. Weitz,
president of SUNY Student Assembly and
member of the Board of Trustees, was
appointed to the committee along with
other members of the board, SUNY
Presidents and other members of the
SUNY community. Salerno, chairman of
the Board of Trustees, will head the
search committee.
“This committee is representative of all
segments of the SUNY community, and
embodies the wisdom and insight to
ensure that the search process will fully
address the University’s special leadership
needs on the threshold of a new century.”
Weitz said the search committee will
meet for the first time on March 15 to
develop an approach to picking a new
chancellor. He said the committee will
view all applications. “We want to give
everybody their due rights,” Weitz said.
Those applying will be narrowed down to
four candidates who will appear in front
of the full board for an interview.
Salerno said about possible candidates
with the SUNY system, “No one will have

obtained permission of the individuals to
read their grievances at the meeting.
Thomas also stressed the vote was “so
the investigation could begin on Chris
Hahn” not a vote for impeachment. She
said the next step after the investigation
will be to give the committee’s report to
the Supreme Court who will make the
final decision on Hahn’s impeachment.
At this week’s council meeting,
Michael Tillman, Hahn’s appointment for
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was
approved, making the SupremeCourt
operational.
The Internal Affairs Committee, and the
grievance board makes their recommen-
dation based on interviewing members of
the executive branch and investigating
grievances, Thomas said.
At the suite: where came
proceedings began against Hahn, he told
the council “I encourage anyone to come
talk to me about the allegations. You can
look up any information you want
because I am confident that my record
will prove that they are all false, that they
are all sour grapes.
“T played hardball, and I will continue
to play hardball as president of the
Student Association. There are issues I
feel strongly about, I often times disagree
with my officers. I don’t think I’ve gotten
out of line with my officers in any worse
of a manner then they’ve gotten out of
line with me. I have treated them the same
way as I have been treated,” Hahn said.
One of the grievances accused Hahn of
“feeling threatened by strong, confident
people.” Hahn, yet: the accusation

Housing Asks Students Suspension
May 6, 1977 -
By Jonathan Hodges
A SUNYA Residence Review Board
has issued a recommendation that a
Waterbury Hall student be immediately
removed from his dorm, suspended for
the fall semester, seek professional psy-
chological care and be placed on proba-
tion for the duration of one year. The
Office of Student Affairs is expected to
act on the recommendation sometime
next week.
The student, Robert Guy Kuperman,
was arrested by University Police last
Friday and spent the weekend in jail after
his bail was set at $1000. Kuperman was
charged with criminal mischief for the
breaking of a window during a party at
Alden Hall.
The recommendation, written by the
review board’s chairman Scott Kalicki
termed Kuperman as an individual with a
“consistent pattern of violent acts” and
- added that “in considering your influence
on others in residence, we are concerned
_ that this influence could carry over and
affect students in the general University
setting.”
Kuperman’s pending suspension stems
from what university Police called, “a
wave of destruction” that has occurred at
Waterbury Hall during the year.
“This whole thing started with the repu-
tation of my hall, Waterbury second floor
northeast,” said Kup
started bringing
“Initially myself and Jamey Newhall
were brought up in September for Judicial
Board action for having something to do
with turning over a vending machine. The
subsequent action was that no judicial
punishment would be incurred upon us
but there would be a letter stating that we
had been brought up before judicial board
for being involved in an accident. There
wasn’t any damage so no money was
involved.”
According to Kuperman there were a
series of minor incidents towards the end
of the first semester. It was at a party just
before the February vacation that serious
trouble began with Residence.
“T think there were three windows bro-
ken in the lounge. So four of us got
notices that there would be judicial board
action after we got back from vacation,”
said Kuperman. “It came out at this
point—it became perfectly clear—that they
(Residence) wanted someone really, real-
ly hurt hard.”
During the judicial review, Kuperman
stated that he and his roommate were
cleared of the charges. John Palabrica,
another member of the hall, was placed
on a year’s probation while Newhall was
put on two year’s probation and prohibit-
ed from living on Waterbury after this
semester.
“The reason that they came down so
hard on Jamey (Newhall) is because of
me,” said Kuperman. “In the eyes of the

: “] They really and truly
think I have some

argument was the question
of whether or not the Students and faculty gather to discuss diversity
Diversity discussed at workshop
By KEVIN DEVALK
_ A workshop entitled “Identity
in America” was held Wednesday
in the Campus Center Assembly
Hall. The workshop, sponsored
by the Forum for Political
Thought, addressed issues
about identity and the vari- |
ous ethnic and social f
groups represented in]
American society. Many of }
the participants were either |
student representatives of |
various groups, such as the fi
University Democrats, or 7
faculty members.
The most—discussed topic }
was the power and validity [
of hyphenated Americans. |
Faculty member Bob Frost |
said, “Virtually everybody
else outside of English f
desent is hyphenated.”
The central point of the }
hyphenation system is a
good or bad one. Professor Linda
Nicholson said hyphenations are
political constructions that
attempt to break down negative
connotations that are carried by
terms such as “blacks” and
“Japs.” While many of the stu-
dents and faculty seemed to sup-
port the movement, student
Nancy Mercedo said, “(The) ten-
dency to categorize things is neg-
ative.”
One of the participants, faculty
member Morton Schoolman, said
America does not take race rela-
tions seriously enough. “(Shows
such as) Beavis and Butthead are
America’s way of not taking
itself seriously; this makes it dif-
ficult for people to communicate
with each other. That’s why I like
the idea of a hyphenated
America.”
The issue of multicultural dat-
ing was also. discussed.
According to Professor Wright,
40% of all marriages in the U.S.
cross cultural boundaries. Wright
said this is necessary for the sur-
vival of the nation.
It was also noted that certain
groups haven’t been accepted as
hyphenated Americans. Parag
Kahandhae of the Asian-American
Alliance said, “Indians aren’t
ges hyphenated and
b] should be.”
In closing the work-
shop,one professor
said, “The world is
my church and to do
good is my religion...
There wouldn’t be as
j great an America as
there is today without
diversity. But it depends
on what spirit is given.
| It isn’t labeling. We
want to get the great-
est out of every group.
Diversity, hyphenation
are great if used wise-
ly.”

Political Thought will
be holding another workshop on
March 22nd entitled, “The Role
of Religion in the Creation of

guests for this workshop will be
representatives of various area

Alternatives to abortion offered
By SUSAN CRAINE
Jennifer Lovell, a representa-
tive from the AlphaCenter for
Women spoke at a meeting of
Albany Students For Life
Monday evening.
Albany Students for Life
began a year and a half ago by
current President Brian Heitner
and Vice-President Marc Caroul.
They said they felt those who
were pro-life were not being
represented on campus. The
group’s main focus is to provide
education about other options. for
an unwanted pregnancy. It also
provides support for community
maternity centers around the
area, such as Birthright and the
AlphaCenter.
Both the group and Lovell agree
there has been unfair application
of the word choice with abortion.
In her lecture, Lovell said,
“choice refers to two different
issues SO Someone can pick one
or the other...our focus is to see
the word choice removed from
the synonymous context with
abortion.”
Lovell said AlphaCenter’s
intention of the center was not to
change laws, but to provide sup-
port.
“We are not a political organi-
zation that is trying to change a
law, a business in the communi-
ty, or the hearts of the people.
We’re trying to change the hearts
of the individuals going through
the unwanted pregnancy,” Lovell
said.
As well as providing counsel-
ing about options besides abor-
tion, the AlphaCenter provides
several services.There are men-
tors who help the woman
through the pregnancy. After the
birth ‘of: the child, © the
AlphaCenter provides support in
the form of paying bills, rent,
buying food, clothes, diapers,
and finding housing. The center
also provides counseling for the
women, the fathers and the fami-
lies.
Lovell said there has been a
change on how abortion is
viewed, there is more concern
with the affects of abortion on
both the mother and the family.
“There is a less sense of flip-
pancy about the subject. People
are realizing that it (abortion)
shouldn’t be used as the releas-
ing of an emotional burden, the
unplanned child,” she said.

Party in the park changes name and site
By GLENN TEICHMAN
Contributing Editor
Even though it appears there is
no spring in sight, plans for Party
in the Park continue to move for-
ward for the April 24 event.
The event will now be called
the All American Collegiate
Festival—Party in the Park and
will feature six bands at Lincoln
Park, Cliff Lent, Programming
director for Student Association,
said.
Unlike last year’s Party at
Herbert’s, where alcohol was
provided, this year’s policy will
most likely be to bring your own
beer, Chris Hahn, S.A. president,
said. “Things look very positive,
all the permits have been
filed...we expect to get approval
for an open container permit,”
Hahn said.
This year’s Party in the Park
will use “good music” to “try to
get away from the drinkfest men-
tality,” Lent said. There might
also be vendors like the ones at
Tulipfest, Hahn said.
Out of the six bands, four will
be local bands and two national
ones. The potential line up of
bands includes Ernie Williams
and the Wildcats, the Ominous
Seapods, and Perfect Thyroid for ©
local bands and The Samples and
another national band, Lent said.
Responsibility of the students
is important to insure the success
of the event, Hahn said. To that
end, only canned beer will be
allowed at the event. “We don’t
want the problems we had in the
past,” Hahn said. “If we show
respect, this will become a tradi-
tion.”
“It’s still going to be a wild
time. Every wild time doesn’t
have to turn into a problem,”
Hahn said. To help avoid prob-
lems, there will be three times
the amount of port—a—johns dis-
pursed throughout the park and
some will be handicapped acces-
sible, Lent said.
Buses will be provided from
the uptown and downtown cam-
puses to the park, Lent said.

the events the Programming
Board has planned for the
semester. On. Sunday, March 13,
A Tribe Called Quest and De La
Soul will play at the Recreation
and Convocation Center
(RACC). the event, co—promoted
by WCDB, will have a “first
class soundstage and lights,”
Lent said. Tickets for the event
will cost students $10 and $14
for the general community.
Lent said the Smashing
Pumpkins are tentatively set to
play the RACC on April 18 ina
show financed and co—promoted
by Metropolitan Entertainment, a
New York City company.
On April 8, there will be a
concert featuring Tito Puente in
the RACC as well, Lent said.
Tickets for Puente will also be
$10.
Lent said that getting big
bands to play the RACC is risky
because large ticket sales are
necessary to keep from losing
too much money. “You can’t sée
bands like this for below $10,”
Lent said.

Ture cited slave revolts as the

The Albany State University Black
Alliance (ASUBA) has been the stepping
stone for mass unity within cultural and
minority groups attending the University
at Albany. ASUBA is one of the many
Student Association recognized and
funded groups. Interested members of
ASUBA are students and faculty of the
University at Albany who devote their
time and efforts to promote unity among
all students of African descent and to
enrich the Albany campus with the cul-
ture of Africa and Black America.
James Williams is the pharaoh of the
Albany State University Black Alliance.
The pharaoh was the name for the ruler
of the ancient Egyptian people. In accor-
dance with the efforts of the student
group during the previous year, ASUBA
receives about $22,000 annually with an
income requirement of $10,000. The
money helps members of ASUBA to
conduct “cultural programs that relate to
African and Latino Americans,” accord-
ing to Williams.
ASUBA is very concerned about unity

dents of African descent who attend the

“In 1972, ASUBA was founded,”
Williams said, “because of the lack of
attention that was given to African and
Latino American students.” According to
Williams, ASUBA was the first cultural
organization of the Albany campus. Thus
ASUBA’s purpose has always been to
develop and maintain the African
American presence on campus through
cultural programs.
ASUBA’s schedule last semester
included several social workshops and
cultural events, a few of which were
based on national holidays and remem-
brances. University at Albany students
celebrated Kwanzaa near the end of last
semester. Kwanzaa is an Afro-American
holiday based on the traditional African
festival of the harvest of the first crop.
Students gathered in the Campus Center
Ballroom for a “karamu” celebration that
was sponsored by ASUBA. The celebra-
tion featured traditional African foods,
honoring the semester’s assessments,
performances, music, and dancing.
ASUBA also conducted workshops
and lectures for the week of Black
Solidarity. The events emphasized the
fellowship arising from the common
responsibilities and interest of the
Afro—American community at Albany.
In additon to cultural events that
ASUBA participated in, the alliance also

Bill to provide free education for those over 60 expected to pass Assembly
By JODIANNE ACKERMAN
The Senate has recently passed a bill
which states people over the age of 60
will be allowed to attend New York
State’s universities for free, according to
the Times Union.
A spokeswoman for Assemblyman
Ronald Canestrari, who also approves of
the bill, says that the elderly should be
“afforded the opportunity.”
According to the spokeswoman, the
majority of people over 60 are on fixed
incomes and have to take expensive medi-
remains the decision of the university, I
would feel comfortable with it.”
The spokeswoman for McEneny said
the presidents of the state universities
would be responsible for determining
space availability such as class size, and
who seek free education would be able to
register.
Wednesday was the first day the bill
went on the floor in the Assembly, where
it is expected to pass. If the bill does pass,
it will not take effect until after April 1,
1995.

from enjoying the same
education benefits other
people enjoy.
Karen Hitchcock, Vice
President for Academic
Affairs at SUNYA said,
“Our students are not jeop-
ardized in any way. As
long as the prerogative of
determining class size
People over 60 would be allowed to
attend state universities depending on
space availability, and the maximum cred-
its allowed would be nine.
This bill has been in circulation for sev-
eral years, a spokeswoman for Assembly-
man John McEneny, who is sponsoring
the bill in the Assembly, said. Although it
has always passed the Senate, this is the
first year the bill hasn’t died in the
Assembly.

SUNYA interns get ready to face the real world
By JIM TOUCHETTE
Regardless of the field, most employers
value experience. An internship can give
any college student a head start on
job experience. That is what the
- Communications Internship and the State
Politics Internship Programs at SUNYA
are doing. -
These programs, directed by Alan
Chartock, Ph.D., require students to work
full-time and to attend a one-hour class
each week, giving them 15 credits per
semester. Chartock intends for the pro-
grams to serve as a “transition from formal
studies to the workplace.”
Students in the programs work in their
field of choice, ranging from radio and
television to assisting state senators and
assemblymen.
Teaching Assistants David Guistina and
Andrea Nasrallan help Chartock with the
load of administrative work as well as
recruiting students into the programs and
placing them with jobs.
Guistina and Nasrallan also spend time
grading assignments for the weekly class-
es. Students in both programs have three
assignments for the class: weekly reaction
papers, a book report every three weeks,
and keeping a daily work journal.
Guistina says the weekly reaction papers
should “mesh theoretical and practical
aspects.” These papers are meant to relate
classroom applications to students’ jobs.
Students in both programs can pick the
books they want to report on as long as the
books relate to the class and their job.
Guistina says the reports should compare
what the author says to what is seen in the
workplace.

New York State Senator Olga Mendez. She

reported on Why Do Americans Hate
Politics?, by E.J. Dionne. “Before I took
this job, I didn’t know much about the
government, I didn’t even know how a bill
was passed,” Cortez said. Part of her job
involves preparing the Senator’s calendar
for session. Cortez said her job is hard
work, but it teaches her new things every
day.
Lauren Herbert, a Communications
major, had a 15-credit internship at
WPYX 106.5 FM. last semester. Among
her duties was the planning for on-air con-
cert promotions. Referring to the required
weekly class, Herbert said, “It’s the best
Class I ever took at SUNY Albany.”
Chartock has been teaching for 30 years,
11 of which have been at SUNYA. He is a
Communications professor at Albany and
a Political Science professor at SUNY
New Paltz. Chartock is chairman executive
director of WAMC Northeast Public Radio
Network, a political commentator on
Channel 13, and interviews Governor
Cuomo for a half hour every week on the
radio program (Capital Connection.)
In addition, Chartock finds time to
attend all weekly classes for both
Internship Programs. Chartock says his
workload is “Herculean,” but that he
enjoys being busy.
“If it wasn’t for Alan, the programs
wouldn’t work,” said Guistina. Chartock,
who started the programs, said he feels the
same way about his T.A.’s.
The Communication Internship runs
every semester, while the State Politics
Internship only runs in the spring when
legislators are in session. Although stu-
dents have already been interviewed for
Fall ’94 internships, those interested in
either program are encouraged to contact
Guistina or Nasrallan at (518) 465-5233.

Diversity conference offers oppor
This is an announcement for all of you
who are interested in the human services
professions and/or in issues of diversity:
March 7-11 will mark’ the third annual
conference, entitled, SENSITIVITY AND
BEYOND: DIVERSITY IN THE HELP-
ING AND HUMAN SER-
Middle vice prorEssions. This
Earth _ is a wonderful opportunity
Roots to learn more about the
variety of issues that human
service professionals face in this increas-
ingly diverse country.
The conference has grown a great deal
since its first year when three ambitious
and committed graduate students in the
department of Counseling Psychology
decided that there was a need for campus
wide communication on the issues of
diversity. There was a realization that one
of the most important issues facing pro-
fessionals in the human services was
increasing the diversity of the client pop-
ulation. In order to learn more about these
issues they created the Diversity Week
Conference, where speakers from all over
the campus and the country come to dis-
cuss the treatment needs and issues of a
diverse population. Over the past two
years, the number of people involved in
the conference has grown tremendously,
as has the support from various depart-
ments on campus.
The keynote speaker
for the conference,
Stanley Sue, Ph.D., is
one of the most promi-
nent contributors in this
field. He is currently a
Professor of Psychology
at the University of
California, Los Angeles
and.the Director of the
National Research
Center on Asian
American Mental Health.
He will speak on
Monday, March 7 from
9:30 to 11:00 a.m., in the Campus Center
Assembly Hall. If you cannot attend any-
thing else, I would definitely make a point
of being at this talk.
In addition, this year there will be more
than ten workshops presented by graduate
students, faculty, and professionals from
the area. Here is a sampling of the titles

Justice in S.A.?
The proceedings of the Wednesday, February
16 Central Council meeting showed a level of
immaturity and disorganization which is a
disgrace to the Student Association.
We’ll allow Jose Albino’s reading of
grievances during the Internal Affairs report,
we’ll even allow that Chris Hahn, President of
SA had to wait until later in the evening for the
opportunity to defend himself against these
allegations. After both sides were being heard,
the motion for impeachment was voted on and
failed. It was the understanding of those at the
‘|meeting that after the motion had failed, that
there would be more investigation into the
matter because at that point there were only
allegations. :
Allegations. That word again, remember that
word. The Student Association impeaches their
president on allegations and yet the
administration remains silent. It seems that if
you’re going to impeach someone, you should
have more than people’s words to do it on, this
is called proof. That’s the problem here. In the
face of no proof, certain council members. took
upon themselves to reintroduce the motion when
some council members, Hahns supporters had
left the meeting. If these council members
thought about it, leaving the meeting early
would have seemed just a little bit foolish
considering the circumstances. Regardless, it
was still a sneaky and underhanded way to come
to an ends. Does the end in this situation justify
the means? No. Is this justice? No. Is this
democracy in action? Absolutely not.
An organization which handles over a million
dollars of student money is so separated, so
disorganized, so poorly run, that it wastes it’s
time and our money. It is scandalous enough
with everything that has happened among
different groups on campus. It is simply
irresponsible and inexcusable for Central
Council to go through an impeachment
-| proceeding in any other way than by the book.
There is no victory if slight of hand and
deception are used to achieve results.
There could be so many more useful things for
SA to do than to fight amongst itself. Some
debating and argument is natural, but it’s time to
grow up. Council members and executives are
not there for their own personal advancement,
| they are there for the students who voted them
into those positions. If they cannot hold their
positions with fairness and honesty, get out of
the way and let some people who will do some
good have their seats.
Whether or not Hahn is guilty of the charges
against him isn’t the issue now. It’s the fact that
his impeachment was a poorly executed and
under-handed attempt to remove his power. By
the time this impeachment actually goes
through, it’s going to be time for elections
anyway!
So what really is the point here? Those of you
| with grievances are not doing any good airing
their dirty laundry this late in the year. The
practical aspect of that is gone. It’s the last half
of the semester, graduation is coming closer, it’s
time for Central Council and the rest of the
Student Association to put their time and
energies into something more productive than
| dragging Chris Hahn through the mud. Learn
from what has happened in this academic year
and look more carefully at the candidate you
elect this spring. At this point in the semester,
they’re not doing any good for anyone by
pursuing this issue, except for satisfying thew
sense of vengeance.

The Pine Hills Walk And Watch
Pine Hills, in past years the scene for some media .
grabbing conflicts between student and long term
residents neighbors, is now the site of a new common
effort...a new partnership between all of its residents ...
The Pine Hill’s Walk and Watch Program. 3
Just when the press is full of headlines about how
public safety in many urban areas is at an all time low,
and getting werse, a diverse group of Pine Hills
neighborhood residents are joining together in a
common effort to prove that public safety in our
neighborhood is something that each of us can do
something about. Furthermore, we don’t have to wait
for tomorrow to see it accomplished.
Henry M. Madej
Working together with the Albany Police Department,
seniors citizens, members of the University’s Greek
Letter organizations, young professionals, Alumni Quad
residents, blue collar residents and off-campus
University at Albany students are all active participants:
in this new and exciting experiment in community
policing. The Walk and Watch Program, now some
eight months old allows neighborhood residents to help
identify what we think are the important issues of
personal and residential public safety which need the
most immediate attention and, importantly, encourages
residents, by participating in the program, to help define
the standards and priorities by which our neighborhoods
public safety effort will be pursued.
Teams of volunteer walkers, often a student and a
long term resident, patrol the area bounded between
Myrtle and Western Avenue, Partridge Street and Lake -
Avenues. While adding an additional set of eyes to local
law enforcement, participants and their neighbors meet
on patrol and are helping to.force a new common
commitment to our neighborhood. Walk and Watch
volunteers come to know the area and when things look
amiss. Residents come to know that their neighbors are
donating their time to watch out for all neighborhood
residents.
While Walk and Watch volunteers are equipped to
have direct communication with the Albany Police
Department, most of an evening’s patrol time is spent
keeping a watchful eye out for identifying...
circumstances that could lead to “opportunity crime”
should they be left unattended.
The cement blocks or chair below an apartment
window, an open apartment door, or broken side
window, could be evidence of a crime or innocent
circumstances which, if left unattended, could allow
one of our neighbors to become the next victim of.a
crime. | |
The child left unattended, the unnoticed scent of
smoke, or the individual “casually” checking doors as
they walk up a street can lead to yet another piece of
community peace put at risk. Just as public safety issues
weigh heavy on the minds of student and long term
residents alike, the elements of our common physical
environment help to define the our neighborhood
quality of life.
Garbage out days before trash pick-up makes a block
look as if no one cares and allows for unattended dogs
to spread their contents about the neighborhood, the
unattended front porch hibachi could subject a resident
to a police visit, to say nothing of starting a fire, and the
unshelled front walk is not only unsafe, but an
invitation to a burglar to make off with a new home
entertainment center.
The Pine Hills Walk and Watch is much more than
just “law enforcement,” it is residents identifying public
safety concerns in our community and making
suggestions on how to address them. After walking the
neighborhood, it became clear that areas of our
community are poorly lit at night.
In an attempt to-develop a neighborhood based plan
to address this issue, volunteers will shortly be doing a
systematic review of street lighting on each block of our
_ area; where are the lights below standard, where are
they blocked by trees, and where are they just not there.
Working with Niagara Mohawk and the City of Albany,
the goal is a plan to generally improve the quality of
street lighting across the area. The result, a better lit,
more attractive and certainly safer neighborhood.
In an effort to find that “just one additional” parking
space we’ve all looked for late at night, the Walk and
- Watch volunteers, will be taking a similar look at street
parking rules in our neighborhood. Quality of life
issues, safety issues, but also issues which improve the .
general integrity of the Pine Hills neighborhood. If
solved, because we worked together, they will bring this
community together.
The Pine Hills Walk and Watch, and its strong basic
group of volunteers, seek additional student
participation because students are a significant element
but also because they can add a unique voice and
perspective to the Program’s work. Indeed, for the
program to work, as a common neighborhood effort,
that participation is critical.
Interested? Think its worth finding out more
information? Call the Walk and Watch Office at
(458-5645 or 462-8033). Officer Fred Aliberti or one
of the volunteers will be glad to give you additional
information, and answer any questions. If your group
would like a speaker, we'd be glad to stop by. If you’re
interested in seeing the program in operation, watch for
the volunteers on patrol (you’ll recognize them by their
bright orange jackets) or stop by the office which is
open most evenings Monday through Friday, from
approximately 6:00 until 8:00. It is located on the first
floor of the Vincentian Community Center, Ontario
Street and Madison Avenue. Entrance from either
Madison Avenue or Ontario. Applications are. also
available at the University’s Off-Campus Housing
Office and at the Student Association Offices.
The volunteers, student and long term resident,
already a part of the program look forward to seeing
you and to your participation in this effort. Together, we
can build a strong and safe neighborhood. Yours and
mine.

Hills Neighborhood Association and a member of the

I have always been afraid of rollercoasters. Great Adventure is always so embarrassing. All
my friends hop on the Great American Scream Machine or the Shock Wave. I end up on the
merry-go-round.
Well, my time of meekness is at an end. Rollercoasters can no longer phase me. I have stared
death in the face and returned to tell the tale. I have driven with Tara.
Tara, our friend Mike, and I were late to see a speaker at RPI. We ran out to Tara’s car, amidst
the ice and the snow, and she pulled out hurriedly, speeding around the perimeter. We got to
the Western Avenue exit, and I noticed she didn’t slow down as we approached the
intersection. “I hope there’s no one coming,” she muttered.
“Why?” Lasked nervously from the passenger side in the front of the car.
“Oh, well,” she said as we shot into the right hand turn. “I have no breaks and the steering’s
shot.”
“Swell,” I mumbled and checked to make sure my seatbelt was buckled.
“Heh, heh, heh,” said Mike from the back seat. “Aren’t you glad you called shot gun?”
“So,” Tara said. “Which one-of you two knows how to get to RPI?”
Neither of us did, so we decided to wing it from 787.
Everything went pretty smoothly after we hit that road, until Tara’s car spontaneously
slowed from about 95 to 35. “Um, are we stalling?” I asked.
“Yup. I hate when this happens,” she said. It happened four more times before we reached
the downtown Troy exit. The last time, she pulled to the right hand lane, preparing to take the
exit, and all of a sudden the car jerked toward the side of the road. Tara pulled the wheel
around, and then we were back on the road. “See? My steering.” She sighed. “That's kind of
scary right next to the river.”
I looked out the window and saw the frozen Hudson lurking below. Tara just continued
driving, humming along to the radio.
Needless to say, we got to the right place at RPI, only after asking two young men from the
school, who looked at us like they’d never seen females before, where to go.
After the presentation, which lasted 4 HOURS, we got back in the car warily.
We left RPL, looking for the bridge to get us back to Albany. We sped down a dark, curvy
road, and rode over a small bridge. “Well, it’s a bridge,” I offered.
“Somehow, I don’t think it’s the right one,” Tara said testily.
“Wait, this is Route 2,” Mike said. “If we keep going down here, we'll hit Bennington.”
“We could go shopping,” I said.
“At 10 p.m.?” said Mike. -
“Well, where the hell are we now?” asked Tara.
“Well, here’s a sign saying Eagle Mills,” Mike observed.
“T’ve never even heard of Eagle Mills,” I said.
“That's it, we’re turning around.” Tara slammed on the breaks, which thankfully worked
this time, and made a U-turn in the esteemed Eagle Mills fire department.
Forty-five minutes later, we were safe in Albany. I don’t think I have ever been so thankful
to see a slab of concrete.
Moral of the story? Both Mike and I returned safe and sound, and if you complain too much
about a person’s driving, she will never take you anywhere again. See you on CDTA.

3a Aspects
They re on a Road to Nowhere
No it’s not Singles II, not Some Kind Of
Wonderful IJ, not Say Anything II...not really.
Reality Bites is a new comedy that represents the
angst-ridden generation of the ’90s, unsure of a
future or an identity, secure only in their
knowledge of TV commercials and sitcoms that
have pervaded their lives.
Jason Black
As four friends leave college behind to enter the
real world they attempt to find an identity for
themselves and where that fits into the world at
large. Lelaina (Winona Ryder), the level-headed
valedictorian is off to intern at a local morning
show while filming a documentary about her
friends and their post-collegiate lives. Troy (Ethan
Hawke), the mooching slacker with the Citizen
Dick-ish band is content to stay on her couch after
he loses job #12. Vicki (Janeane Garafalo), looking
for love in all the wrong places, is finding success
only at the Gap, and Sammy (Steve Zahn), still in
the closet, is content to be around these people who
love and accept him. On the surface it seems like
Ione Skye from Say Anything, Matt Dillon and
Sheila Kelly of Singles and Doug Savant of Melrose
Place but the film’s clever script limits melodrama
by injecting humor into potentially cliched
situations such as Vikki’s AIDS test, wherein she
frets about ending up “like a new character on
Melrose Place” should she test positive.
Director Ben Stiller plays Michael, an older
corporate exec for “In Your Face TV” ends up
| _ dating Lelaina after their cars collide, much to the
dismay of Troy, whose indifferent facade begins to
break down, causing friction between him and
Leilana.
As the friends go about changes in their lives the
film’s limited scope of white upper-middle class
America begins to emerge as Lelaina manages to
use her father’s gas card to pay for her food and
phone bill, and Sammy’s biggest problem is coming
out to his parents. The other realities of the real
world of the ’90s are not touched on, but within this
limited sector there are many laughs. Michael’s
attempt to define himself as more than a
materialistic lout goes awry as he explains that he
cares about the important things in life: “I mean... I
know why the caged bird sings...because...he’s
caged... but he’s free,” but Stiller’s great sense of
timing is fully utilized as the script hesitates to
make him only a characature.
Towards the end of the film Lelaina has the
expected task of having to choose between Troy
and Michael, but the banality of such a scene is
avoided thanks to the script’s acute sense of
maintaining the integrity of the characters while
simultaneously allowing them to make illogical or
unclear decisions, like real people.
Winona Ryder, in a rare, non-annoying role
brings a sentiment to her character that is
alternatingly endearing as a headstrong woman
and as a fragile waif, vulnerable and funny,
especially when pontificating on the merits of the
Big Gulp or when giving advice to her Psychic
Friend.
Janeane Garofalo, of Fox’s old Ben Stiller Show
also adds humor and believability both in a
frenzied dance to “My Sherona” and in a fight with
Lelaina for degrading her job. While there are
scenes memorable of the aforementioned movies,
Reality Bites is less a teen movie. Because it is for
and about this particular generation its appeal may
be limited, still its well mixed blend of jokes and
tension ring honest and true.

Records, Withdrawal
Method by Die Monster Die,
was not being pushed as their
latest metal find.
In their press release, hidden
between phrases like “heavy,”
“aggressive,” and “powerful,”
was a comparison to middle
America’s latest dreamtoy, the
Smashing Pumpkins. This
album is most definitely the
softest thing on Roadrunner
Records. But that doesn’t really
say much, know what I mean?
This band is in no way the
next Tori Amos. Die Monster
Die is not wuss music (geez,
do I sound like Butthead or
what? I’m so ashamed). This
band certainly knows how to
kick ass (now I sound like
Garth. This review has really
hit rock bottom).
Seriously folks, this album is
so varied from one minute to
the next. From the heavy to the
ethereal, Die Monster Die
plays with you, to the point
where you're not sure whether
to bang your head or light
incense. Hell, do both, you're a
winner.
With powerful vocals from
Alice Cohen, vocalist/bassist,
this band takes a cathy sound
and makes it respectful. Riffs
are thrown in amidst, but don’t
think Black Sabbath yet. With
some of the best emotional
lyrics that I’ve come across in a
long time, the thirteen tracks
on this album, after a few lis-
tens, become amazing. With
songs called “Swallowed,”
“Vagina Dentata,” “Teeth,”
and “Wallflower Garden,” all
amazing tracks, Die Monster
Die have made a most respect-
ful splash into the music
industry.
Die Monster Die initially
wanted to title this album
“Vagina Dentata,” but were
scared off by the closed—mind-
ed retail stores. I thank them
for naming their album after
my favorite form of birth con-
trol. |
To sum up, Die Monster Die
have a great album. You'll
probably wind up sitting in
your room, tapping your foot
and swatting your head. But
that’s cool. Get it and enjoy, for
yourself and not just me.

Return of the Living Head-Bangers
Manny Styles
Despite its obvious surname, Luscious Jackson
is not a long-lost member of the Jackson family.
There is no relation to Michael, Janet, Reggie,
Tito, or any other famous Jackson you can think
of. Instead, Luscious could be most easily
described as the female gender’s answer to the
Beastie Boys.
Seth Hochman
Their seven song e.p., In Search of Manny, is a
very hip mix of old-school hip-hop drum beats,
sampling, melodic choruses, smooth monotone
rapping, and and clean rocking live guitar and
bass grooves. The first three songs on the e.p.
were originally written and recorded by Jill
Cunniff and Gabby Gluger for a demo tape.
Somewhere along the line, the pre—License to Ill
Beastie Boys drummer, Kate Schellenback and
keyboardist Vivian Trimble were added to the
group, with Cunniff doing the bass word and
Glaser playing guitar.
Along with the hip-hop styled songs that
make up three (maybe even four) of the seven
songs on Manny, these four New York City
women prove that they can also stand on their
own eight feet as a solid rock group. On the
songs “Bam Bam” (an instrumental), and
“Satellite,” Luscious moves away from the sam-
pling, looping, and rap-styled rhyming, and
groove their way through the songs as a steady
| four-piece band.
| After being released in 1992 on Beastie Boy
Mike D.’s Grand Royal label, the e.p. was
‘Te-released on the Grand Royal/Capital Records
label in late 1993. Production on their first
full-length album begins this spring for Grand
Royal and will be self-produced. -
Cunniff and Glaser produced a very cool e.p.,
and I’m sure that together Luscious Jackson will
produce an album that is frigid!
Check it out! Check ya later!
I was handed this disc and told, “Write a
review of it.” Well, when I saw what disc it
was I realized it is true, the Masters of
Mighty Metal Mayhem, Iron Maiden, are
back with a live album entitled A Real
DEAD One (as opposed to A Real LIVE One
which was another live album released a
truckfull of months ago)!
Chris Radtke
Well, if you have read this far in my little
review, you probably are a Maiden fan
(but if you aren’t a Maiden fan, you must
be pretty bored and have nothing better to
do with yourself but to read a review of
some cheap-ass heavy metal crap), so no
matter what I say, you are gonna love this
album! So if you are a metal head, and you
dig Maiden, go get this disc. It’s got old fun
stuff like “# of the Beast,” “The Trooper,”
“Run to the Hills,” and “Hallowed Be Thy
Name.” Only people who really dig
Maiden will like this disc, though. So it
goes like this: if you like Iron Maiden, go
buy this...but if you don’t like Maiden, it is
safe to say that you won’t ever own this
disc.
Yeah, head-bangers, I can understand
the power of Iron Maiden...yup, I used to
be a. big metal head back in the days...but
it’s time to wake up. You see, metal is not

ass of rock and roll that it once was. Metal
of today is shit. Don’t get me wrong, I
would be the first one to tell you that metal
was once safely standing at the forefront of
rock and roll, but it doesn’t pack the same
punch that it used to (Judas Priest is done
for, Metallica sold out, Ozzy is about 90
years old and Sabbath will never be getting
. back together).
Think about it...ten years ago a cat who
wore a denim jacket riddled with patches
and buttons, a ratty old AC/DC T-shirt,
and the tightest pair of jeans that he could
shove his out of shape, pimply ass into,
was considered one bad mother-fudruck-
er. But now-a-days, that same cat in that
same get up would look silly and probably
get laughed at because of his lame fashion
sense. Think about it head—bangers, ’90s
pop icons, Beavis and Butthead, are mak-
ing fun of YOU. They aren’t laughing with
you, metal heads, they are laughing AT
you!!! But give it some time my
head-banger pals, in a few years, you will
see heavy metal back on top, because it is
obvious that metal’s popularity follows a
predictable pattern...in the ’70s it was big,
then disco crushed it for a while...then in
the early to mid ‘80s it came back bigger
than it was, but now it has been stomped
out by alternative stuff and ’90s disco...but
in about five to six years, it will be huge
again...I PROMISE! So all you head-
bangers out there, wait a handful of years
and you'll once again command the respect
and power you so rightfully deserve and
you'll probably get laid again too...
May the Force Be With You and live to
skate, skate or die.
Oh, and one more thing... Tuesday and
Thursday mornings from 7 to 9 a.m., tune
into our very own WCDB 90.9 FM, and
wake up to “THE MOST NO JOKE
MORNING SHOW IN THE GALAXY...
‘free cookies for Wookiees and Jedi.” It is
fun and good and you will like it better
than Don Imus or Mr. Leonard.

Tori Amos’ single, “God,” has

change from the minimal airplay
her first solo album, Little

Four-Calendar Cafe _
The Cocteau Twins’ latest album,

album. It has a country twang and
‘ Elizabeth pushes her range to its
extreme. As usual Fraser’s voice is
the star of this album, coming
through most strongly on “My
Truth,” “Pur,” “Oil Of Angels,” and
in “Squeeze-Wax,” where she hits
notes I’ve never heard her hit before.
Many people have criticized this
album because they can actually
understand what Fraser is saying. If
you actually sit down and try to
understand them, then yes, you can.
That’s not the point, though. Just lis-
ten to it and let the music envelop
you. The only line that I was able to
pick up on was from my favorite
song, “Summerhead.” She sings, “My
tears have run away,” and my own
disappointment has also left. The
Cocteau Twins have created an
album to remind people why they
fell in love with the band in the first
place.

‘In non-support of

Why the hell would somebody

N.H. Wildman
There’s this mind-numbing
public-service commercial that is
shown OVER AND OVER again on
MTV in Albany. It’s shot in black and
white, and it depicts two teenage
highschool co-eds running into a
bathroom to preen in a mirror and
talk about...last night. The white girl
did the penis-dance with her
boyfriend last night, and the black girl
wants to know the juicy details.
“Why didn’t you wait?”
“He didn’t want to wait.”
“Well did you use protection?”
“He said he was clean.”
“What! Do you think you were his
first? Aren’t you worried about
AIDS?” And then the white girl gives
a miserable look into the mirror.
While the message is hard to argue
with, the values implied are offensive.
I WANT TO KNOW WHY SHE
DIDN’T WAIT. I WANT TO KNOW
IF SHE ENJOYED HUMPING IN THE
FACE OF DEATH!! OR WHY THE
HELL SHE WAS SO LAME TO BE
PUSHED INTO HAVING SEX!
Answers to these questions would def-
initely help me to decide if I want to
take the risk of a good unprotected
roll in the hay. People are having
unprotected sex. That’s not good. But
if you’re going to risk death (or
spreading death) for a good lay, then
ENJOY IT! Your suicide is the end, so
might as well let it go with a BANG!
(Sorry.)
Because of the right-wing morality
police in our government, an adver-
tisement for safe sex must show fear
and loathing and a woman uncom-
fortable with her body. Talk of ‘wait-
ing’ (i.e. abstaining and celibacy) is
the central plea, but if you’re so sleazy
that you must do the thingthangs, then
use ‘protection’ — Jesus might not like
it if ‘condom’ is said amongst young-
sters on TV.
Here’s an idea for a better public
service commercial. Same situation,
different dialogue:
“Why didn’t you wait?”
“Because [ was horny as a toad,” or
“The little fuckNead forced me,”
(which would turn this commercial
into something about how women
shouldn’t be shy in reporting a rapist,
but that’s another story, unlikely to be
supported by the government-lead
Ad Council for MTV viewers).
“Well, did you use protection?”
“No, I wanna die,” (a public-service
message in support of Jack
Kavorkian?) or “I can’t cum with
those things, and an orgasm from my
boyfriend is like life itself, anyway.”
“What? Aren’t you worried about
AIDS?”
“Sure I am. I did a stupid thing that
might have serious consequences. But
I’m a woman, I’m not stupid, and
refuse to regret my own actions.
Everybody in this world must decide
for themselves what is important, and
I love sex above all else, to the point of
risking my life. So shut the hell up,
girlfriend.”
AIDS is as serious as life and death.
How serious that may be is debatable.

Which over—muscied hero will win in this battle of repetitiveness??
discombobulated Major Stryker.
Stryker got in a few good shots later
on but not enough to win over the
judges. The undercard featured Maul
vs. sac Heatwave vs. Grifter,
Psi-Blade vs. Zealot, and Ripclaw vs.
Zealot and then we’re left hanging
with another classic battle for next
time Ripclaw vs. Warblade. Oh, by
the way, the underlined characters
i 4
were seen to be the victor of their
respective battles by the judges. The
star next to Impact indicates that he
was ahead on style points at issues
end, but Maul can be a big influence
on.any judge, so we'll have to wait on
that one.
If you like action and art, then this
is the series for you. Image then sucks
you into the story which of course is a
crossover by design and decides to
run another story in WildC.A.T.S #8
with Voodoo rather than give us
some kind of pertinent information
we could use. Instead we’ll wait
(Lord knows how many months) for
the next Cyberforce to come out.
Don’t lose faith Image-goers! This
wait will be worth it. Upcoming
issues will be featuring the team up
of old partners Jim Lee and Chris
Claremont who blew us away with
their work at Marvel. The duo just get
better and better, so their upcoming
issue promises to be pretty incredible.

“The Marvel Universe is born and you are

fully painted mini-series entitled Marvels,
written by Kurt Busiek and painted by Alex
Ross. This four issue series focuses on the
life of Phil Sheldon, an ordinary New York
City photographer who finds himself in the
| middle of some extraordinary events — the
| advent of superheroes.
Vincent Valenti
One of the things too often neglected in
| comic books is the fact that the average
| person is affected by the everyday actions of
superheroes. For instance, if some cosmic
being were to almost conquer the planet in
the real world, wouldn’t that have some sort
| of effect on the man on the street. Well
| Marvels successfully addresses that
| situation.
The first issue covers the Golden Age
| period of comics around World War II when
{| heroes like Superman and Captain America
| were created. The comic shows how Sheldon
and the inhabitants of the city of New York
| deal with the new influx of super beings in
| their midst.
The second issue focuses on the Silver Age
| in the early 60’s when most of the current
Marvel heroes were created. The issue deals
| with the “mutant menace” - the arrival of
{the X-Men. The fear and _ bigotry
¢| demonstrated against mutants is very nicely
its presented here and shows how the X—Men’s
| plight parallels that of many minority
groups in the real world today.
The third issue chronicles the coming of
Galactus (originally presented in Fantastic
Four #48-50). But what those original comics
don’t show is shown in Marvels; that is the

of this behemoth attempting to destroy the
entire planet. Readers are shown people

Sheldon rushes to be with the family he has
neglected before the end comes.
The fourth issue, which has yet to be
released, will cover the public’s perception
of Spiderman and why so many people see
him as a threat rather than a hero.
The artwork of this series is exceptional =
you've never seen mainstream superheroes
painted realistically like this before. The

ASP VIEWPOINT
Everyone always needs someone to blame. It is easy to
blame, it explains the unexplainable and it transforms
hurt and sadness into anger and vengeance. Blame
temporarily relieves pain, but it escalates hatred.
The Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East is an
ongoing struggle. Without being there, it is not easy to
understand what motivates pedple to do the things that
they do. Even if it is possible to understand, which many
people in the United States do, on both sides of the
Elizabeth Ann Ball
issues — it is even harder to explain.
There was a massacre in a mosque in the Middle East
on Friday. Many innocent people were killed in this
tragic event. We will never know why this happened.
Baruch Goldstein, the person responsible, is dead, and
we will never know exactly why he did this, what
exactly it was that triggered his actions on that particular
day. However, since he is dead, we will find someone to
blame.
Unfortunately, instead of focusing on ending the
violence, we will blame people and things. We will
blame Goldstein’s actions on his upbringing, his political
connections, and most importantly, on his Judaism.
Many people will blame the Jewish people — as a
whole — for the actions of one man. Why? Because there
has to be someone to blame, there has to be someone to
hate.
On Monday, four Hasidic students (ultra—orthodox
Jews) were shot by Arabs while traveling in a van
crossing over the Brooklyn Bridge. They are blamed —
because of their Judaism — for the massacre in the
mosque. They will pay for the actions of Goldstein,
possibly with their lives. And of course, now we will
blame the Arabs — as a whole — for the attack on these
young men.
This will continue, and more innocents will be hurt
and killed, because we need someone to blame. We will
get angrier, and many more people will seek vengeance.
Because the United States is a home for people of all
ancestries, cultures, and religions, Americans will blame
each other, themselves, and their enemies in other parts
of the world. And, as Americans living in the United
States, we can only fear what will happen in the Middle
East. ;
The cycle of violence will continue to repeat itself,
and by the time this round ends, we will all be sure in
our own minds exactly who is to blame — and we will all
never agree.
The people that I believe in, and the people that I
admire, are those that will not try to explain the
unexplainable, and who will hurt and grieve, but not
blame. The people that demonstrate their sadness over
the people killed in the mosque, without blaming the
‘Jews, and the people who will pray and rally for the
recovery of.those four young men, as well those who
will demonstrate for bringing their attackers to justice,
without blaming.
The people who protest retaliation, and who advocate
protection for groups of people — who could never all
possibly be blamed for the the actions of a few, are the
people that deserve our respect and admiration.
These are the people that truly represent Israelis,
Palestinians, Jews, Arabs — and for those in the United
States — no matter where they are from or what they
believe — Americans.
LETTERS TO T
Abortion Kills
The Unborn
To the Editor:
-The United States of America, the
world’s Mecca for liberty, freedom and
equality, is hastily becoming none of the
above. The mass media is in a large way
partially responsible for this decay. They
are constantly showering us with all the
ills of society, taking and expressing
views predominantly by our political left.
~ They do not advocate the value of life.
How else would you explain the fact
that at a National Prayer Breakfast on
Feb. 3, 1994, in which the President and
Vice-President of The United States of
America attended, and one in which
Mother Teresa was the guest speaker did
not make prime time news.
The topic of conversation that Mother
Teresa chose to discuss was the value of
life. She began by saying that America,
which was renowned for it’s generosity
throughout the world, is now known for
it’s selfishness. The proof of this
selfishness is in abortion. She ties our
current problems of crime, violence, and
murder to abortion; “if we accept that a
mother can kill her own child, how can
we tell other people not to kill each
other...any country that accepts abortion
is not teaching it’s people to love, but to
use any violence to get what they want.”
Her final comment was addressed to all
pregnant women who don’t want their
children, she said to give them to her, “I
am willing to accept any child who would
be aborted and give that child to a married
couple who would love that child and be
loved by that child.”
I find. it strange that the mass media
barely acknowledged this great women,
and all her wisdom. That when they’ had
an opportunity to air something that
advocates the value of life, they in turn
chose to ignore it.
With all the horrors that we are
constantly subjected to on television,
victims of the war in Bosnia, the deaths
and destruction caused by recent
earthquakes, and the sympathy that we are
supposed to feel for all of these people,
that the media refuses to acknowledge the
1.6 million deaths caused by abortion
every year is criminal. Perhaps if we had
a more equal distribution of views
expressed in the mass media, the value
placed on life would not be so
diminished.
James J. Gansrow
1G EDITOR
Signs of Peace
To the Editor:
Over the past week, members of Zeta
Beta Tau (ZBT), the Albany State
University Black Alliance, Pan Caribbean’
Association, African—American and
Latino Pre—professional Association,
Inter—Fraternity Council, Fuerza Latina
and Pan—Hellenic Council met as a result
of the now “infamous” Bob Marley poster
incident. After representatives sat down
and discussed the issues at hand, we all
decided to write the following editorial to
let everyone know that a consensus has
been reached.
The members of ZBT now understand
why the use of Mr. Marley was offensive
and insensitive to certain individuals and
communities. These communities should
in the spring of 1994 and start baby sitting
high school students in the fall of 1996 on
Alumni Quad, then you have not
displaced students. No matter what kind
of window dressing Swygert puts on this
move it is a purely strongarm tactic by the
University. Further, why would the
University attempt to start a new program
costing $15 million dollars that will
benefit high school students when this
college has suffered tremendous budget
cuts? The $15 million would be better
spent re—hiring professors and adding
classes cut in recent years.
Second, Pierce and Sayles Halls are
specialty halls. Pierce is a 24 hour quiet
hall for serious students and Sayles
houses international students. Both halls
operate at near capacity, yet the
University insists on closing the halls and
forcing students to move into Waterbury
Hall which does not offer what students in
the entire campus.”
now realize that there was no intention on
the part of ZBT to exploit Mr. Marley.
Now that there has been dialogue and
discussion, it has been further agreed
‘upon that the removal of the posters was
also inappropriate. To all students, let this
be a lesson on how to achieve a “Just
Community.”

Save Pierce &
Sayles Halls
To the Editor:
The students of Pierce and Sayles Halls
were recently notified. by the University
that the halls would be closed at the end.
of this semester. I am writing to let the
University know that I object to the
reasoning and logic for closing the halls
and to dispute some of the claims made
by the University and its paid agents.
First, President Swygert has claimed
that no students will be displaced if the
Excelsior program is approved by the »
state. Technically Swygert is correct. If
you throw the students off Alumni Quad
“I was unaware residence halls were in the|
business of turning a profit for the University.
If you follow their logic we should close down
- Charley Rhoades
Pierce and Sayles want in housing. Part of
the reason I came to this University was
the fact that special interest housing was
offered to students. I am a serious student
with a GPA over 3.50. I have been on the
Dean’s list every semester. Part of the
reason is that Pierce Hall offers me an
environment conducive to apply myself to
serious study.
Third, your bean counters in finance
want these halls closed because they
claim the halls lose money. I was unaware
residence halls were in the business of
turning a profit for the University. If you
follow their logic we should close down
the entire campus. Since the University
accepts hundreds of millions of dollars
from tax payers then we owe tax payers a
profit for their investment by your togic.
So close the campus down. The library
loses money, administration generates no
profits, the computer lab is a money
drain; close it all down.
Fourth, closing Pierce Hall means
closing the downtown campus day care
center. This service benefits students,
. staff, and the local community. Does the
University condone throwing pre-
schoolers out on the street?
Finally, the way in which students were
informed of the closing was atrocious.
The unpleasant duty fell upon the resident
assistants at Pierce Hall. No administrator
from residential life had the courage to
attend the meeting and answer our ~
questions. We didn’t even warrant a cold,
impersonal letter from residential life that
those fine folks are capable of generating.
I urge the University to rethink its
decision. The students deserve specialty
housing. Alumni Quad affords us a
chance to live in the Albany community
and not be isolated on the uptown
campus. I believe the University should
take the following steps to stop this
travesty. .
Stop supporting the Excelsior program.
It will displace students. Let those kids
concentrate on math and science in their
own communities. Keep Pierce and
Sayles open. They are operating at near
capacity. The University should start
actively promoting Alumni Quad. Living
in the community is more rewarding than
living in an isolated environment on the
uptown campus. Finally, this University
should open a dialogue with students
before arbitrarily making decisions that
directly affect them.
Charley Rhoades
The Swygert
Non-Incident
To the Editor:
I was distraught reading the ASP article
entitled, “Allegations against Swygert
Arise” which you recently published.
Indeed, I was particularly troubled by
your reference to a Faculty Committee
which I chaired. Why didn’t anyone on
the ASP staff contact me in an attempt to
gather additional information in the
preparation of this story? Your article
endorses Shannon Taylor’s position that
our committee investigated very serious
charges “perfunctorily.” Nothing can be
- further divorced from reality. As a
committee, we jointly expended well over
one hundred. hours in these matters. An
infinitesimal amount of our time dealt
with an unsubstantiated allegation that Pat
Swygert made one anti-Semitic remark at
a faculty meeting. No member of the
faculty was aware of such a comment;
and the complainant, Shannon Taylor,
told us that his information regarding this
alleged comment came from an unnamed
source, off law school premises, whose
relationship to the law school was also
unknown. The committee concluded that
this statement attributed President
Swygert at a faculty meeting “was not
made” nor was there evidence of any
anti-Semitic remarks by Swygert. .
Your article also refers to a former

Glenn Mones encouraged
Revisionist Zionist Alternative
‘members to actively continue
to hold high the flag of Israel.
Mones was a guest speaker
for the RZA organization and
one of the founding members
for the Tagar Chapter of RZA
at SUNYA. “I greatly admire
this current group of members
not only in Albany but else-
where. They are bold and
courageous, and have not only
carried on, but have flour-
ished,” Mones said
He rallied for members to
join Betar, a Zionist Youth
Movement established in
1923. The experience of Betar
includes traveling to Israel
with children and teaching
them concepts such as
Zionism. Mones told members
not to waste this opportunity
since it is a great experience.
Mones also spoke about the
history of Israel and its promi-
nent heroes showing students
the importance of why they
should never give up fighting.
A distinguished Jewish leader,
Ze’ev Jabotinsky, told Jews
that they were going to have to
fight for Israel and the fight
would not be easy, Mones
said. Jabotinsky believed in a
viable and an autonomous
state with their own flag,
Mones said.
The RZA/Tagar chapter was
established as a result of stu-
dents wanting to fight back
against the unfair accusations
made by the media about
Israel. “The students were
frustrated how the media was
blaming Israel for every atroc-
ity that occurred, but students
were too complacent to fight
back,” Mones said.
Mones said World Week was
the impetus to becoming
active. “The Arab groups got
political during World Week
and instead of presenting eth-
nic dishes they had literature
_ FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1994 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS 5
RZA/TAGAR founder returns to SUNYA
about why Israel should be
destroyed,” Mones said. _
“People needed to be awak-
ened, they were running
away,” Mones said. He
encouraged members to take
that extra step and not to aban-
don Israel and fellow Jewish
students. Mones said when
things get heated up, other
Jewish groups run away.
As a result of this desire to
fight back, Tagar was estab-
lished. Mones said, “We want-
ed to affiliate with a national
group so we chose Betar; how-
ever, we wanted a unique col-
lege identity so we took the
name of Tagar which means
the spirit of taking on chal-
lenges.”
Tagar is now a college
movement in 25 different
countries.
“People will attack you, vili-
fy you, but if you ever doubt
your work stand back and you
will be proud,” Mones said.
In response to Mones’
speech, RZA member Adam
Covitt said, “It was great. It
was interesting to hear from a
guy who started this organiza-
tion.”

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS WHERE
PEOPLE ARE PUTTING
TOO MANY RETIREMENT DOLLARS.
very year, a lot of people make a
huge mistake on their taxes. They
don’t take advantage of tax deferral and
wind up sending Uncle Sam money they
could be saving for retirement.
Fortunately, that's a mistake you can
easily avoid with TIAA-CREF SRAs.
SRAs not only ease your current tax-
bite, they offer a remarkably easy way
to build retirement income—especially
for the “extras” that your regular pension
and Social Security benefits may not
cover. Because your contributions are
made in before-tax dollars, you pay less
taxes now. And since all earnings on
your SRA are tax-deferred as well, the
Beuncfit now fron tas: deferral. Call our SRA botline I 800-842-2733, ext. 8016.
Ensuring, the future
for those who shape it
money you don’t send to Washington
works even harder for you. Down the
road, that can make a dramatic difference
in your quality of life.
What else makes SRAs so special?
A range of allocation choices—from the
guaranteed security of TIAA to the
diversified investment accounts of
CREF 's variable annuity—all backed
by the nation’s number one retirement
system.
Why write off the chance for a more
rewarding retirement? Call today and

SRAs can help you enjoy many

Sticks, Stones, Relationships...
and things that will hurt you
Boys will be boys, but girls
will be sluts. It’s hard to
believe that this mentality still
exists as we approach the 21st
century. It is this mentality
that causes many girls to hide
their true thoughts about
“men,” “boys” and relation-
ships.
By Allison Krampf
Of course, politicians would
have us all believe that the
campaigns for “No sex, safe
sex or the risk of AIDS” are
effective and influencing
“Generation X” to be prudent.
The “promiscuity problem”
may find its roots in the fact
that the current generation of
college students, dubbed gen-
eration X by the ,
media, started
having sex
when AIDS was?
thought to be,
caused by blood ’
transfusions,|

between homo-
sexual males;]
but we all know
that this is a
myth. After ag
few beers and a
few bong hits,
the average college female is.
not thinking about the conse-
quences of bringing a strange
guy home from a bar. There
are girls who enjoy non—com-
mittal flings and find it
acceptable to treat males
accordingly.
Barbara, a 20 year old col-
lege student, readily admits
this. “Everyone needs to get
laid sometimes, and just
because I enjoy that doesn’t
make me a slut.” Even so, she
still worries about her reputa-
tion, but it does not stop her
from enjoying herself.
Even if Barbara is not wor-
ried about her reputation,
someone should be worried
about our generation’s repu-
tation. A scene from the
movie Reality Bites shows
Vicki, a recent college gradu-
ate, in a “next morning”
scene, where the guy she slept
with the night before leaves
after she gives him her num-
ber. The guy throws the num-
ber away, and Vicki is not
even sure enough of his name
to put him as her 66th con-
quest without a question
mark.
Vicki may be admittedly
promiscuous, because a later
scene shows her having her
free AIDS test done. She
announces, with pride, that
the test is “a rite of passage
into our generation.” Perhaps
she would be surprised by the
number of people who should
be carrying card members of
gen X who are not.
Vicki. 18. not.« alone:
According to Dora Swan,
community health educator
for Planned Parenthood,
behavorial changes in regards
to sexual activity have not
occurred in the heterosexual
young adult population.
“Many attribute that to the
fact that folks that age do not
see anyone with AIDS...it is
. km
difficult to get the message to
young adults.” Actions such
as distributing condoms is not
effective, she says, because
not everyone takes condoms
or wants to take condoms.
“Adolescents do not use con-
doms for intercourse,”says
Swan.
This statement is echoed by
Cindy, a college junior who
says she uses condoms selec-
tively, depending on the guy.
“If I know I’m the only girl
he’s been with, or if I know
exactly who he was with, then
we won’t always use con-
doms.”
Cindy says she doesn’t
worry about sexually trans-
mitted diseases because “if
I’m not practicing safe sex, it’s
only with a guy I know for
sure is clean... Sometimes I
worry about getting pregnant,
but there’s only one day
when a person can get preg-
nant during her cycle and I
never have sex.around that
time!?!” She still says she
understands the importance
of safe sex, because “an hour
of pleasure is less important
than a lifetime of disease and
suffering.”
Margo, also 20, agrees. She
says she worries about STD’s
and pregnancy even when
she does practice safe sex. She
can only recall two times
when she has not been “safe.”
She tries not to let her friends
relaxed attitude about sex
influence or pressure her
choices. “I do what I want to
do. I have made some smart
and stupid choices about sex
and relationships but I try not
to regret them.”
Margo cites one example
where she had sex with a guy
she had just met, then left her
room, hid under a table in a
dorm lounge and had her
roommates tell him she had
to go somewhere. Margo says,
“that is the
worst thing I
ever did to a
guy.” But, she
really does not
care about treat-
ing guys this
way because
“the bastards
,get what they
deserve,” and in
some ways, “it
is my revenge
on what has
happened to
;me;” such as the
™ classic story of
the guy eis she fooled
around with a few times and
then he stopped calling.
Bad experiences can also
cause promiscuity. Melissa
says one such experience has
caused her to become more
promiscuous because she
feels insecure about herself.
Melissa enjoys hooking up
because it makes her feel bet-
ter about herself. She also
feels pressure from her
friends in regard to her sexual
activity. “I think their lack-
adaisical attitudes about sex
have influenced my attitude.”
She has unique views on the
sexual revolution. She feels
that sexual
morality
comes and
goes In
cycles; “by
2000 peo-
ple will
probably
be more
conserva-
fo dao VES
again.”
Only the
future can
tell.
Men, Women and the Language Barrier
The one thing that both genders can agree on
whole-heartedly is that men and women will never
understand each other. In futile attempts at creating a
full—proof blueprint, men might say, “Send her roses
with a card that says ‘just because,’ she’ll love it.” In a
parallel, women might say, “Once you act like he is no
longer the Adonis you once thought he was, i.e. get on
with your life, he'll definitely come running back into
your arms.” Well, we all know that sometimes these tac-
tics work, and most of the time they do not.
Communication has been labeled the single best rela-

tionship saver. Deep conversation stimulates our emo-
tions as we get to know each other and talk is erotic after
we become comfortable. Those infamous lines of com-
munication notorious for providing relief that he/she
finally understands how you feel; in return, you know
exactly where you stand.
Unfortunately, this is a rarity; buzzards often perch
themselves on and entangle their claws in our lines of
communication. The product is a mixed message that
never really quite grasps what you wanted to say.
After scintillating conversation, debates and strategies
that “always work,” we still, nonetheless, cannot predict
or understand the behavior of the opposite sex; as that
popular wise man has been known to say, “talk is cheap
and actions speak louder than words.”
In a study conducted on the SUNYA campus, stugenis
were asked to clarify the different stages of a relation-
ship. For example, an anonymous, male senior says,
“There is a difference between hooking up with a girl a
couple of times and actually seeing her. If you are seeing
each other than you have more respect for her as a per-
son, she's someone you want to see during the day, as
well as at night.” Kim Soto, 21, says that there is no clear
distinction that both genders can agree on in categoriz-
ing the differences between hooking up, seeing each
other, and being intimate at night and friends in the
light:” I can’t say how many times I thought I was seeing
a guy, and all along he’s been telling his friends that we
were just friends. It should be decided on the onset.” Too
much disappointment and misunderstanding has lead
Renee Tobin to believe that “relationships are a farce.”
Manny Psikes, 22, admits that he wants to “see” as
many women as possible before he graduates. “I just
hope in the process that I don’t meet girlfriend material
while I’m playing.”
Biology nevertheless mandates that men and women
will forever remain on opposite shores, separated by a
deep sea of emotional understanding. In an attempt to
cross, he/she who rides the right wave may in fact find a
first-mate who with communication can easily ground
your ship and stabilize the tide. Otherwise, we continue
to ride the surf, “passing each other in the night.”

held mass meetings in the lecture center
to address some of the currect situations
on campus. ASUBA took a strong stand
against the charges that were put against
President H. Patrick Swygert by the
Revisionist Zionist Alternative (RZA).
Many of the big events that ASUBA
will be sponsoring this semester will be
during the month of Febuary of the past
achievements and current status of black
Americans. It coincides with the birth-
days of Fredrick Douglass, the great
black leader, and Abraham Lincoln.
ASUBA will be sponsoring the ASHE
Jamaican Dance Theatre in Page Hall and
lecturer Anthony Browder in the Campus
Center Ballroom. Later in the month,
ASUBA will conduct the Black Woman’s
Week Ceremonies. The Department of
Residential Life, the Multicultural A
wareness Program (MAP), and Omega
Phi Beta are among the many other orga-
nizations that will help ASUBA make
February an eventful month.
This semester ASUBA will also spon-
sor a free picnic and conduct their annual
formal ball, according to Williams.
ASUBA shares an office with Albany
chapter of NAACP on the third floor of
the Campus Center.
(CPS) If you want to walk with kings,
England’s Oxford University is the
place to take a stroll.
The famous university has been
around for 500 years and has educated
European and American VIPs alike.
President Clinton and three of his
Cabinet members studied in its halls. So
did Walter Raleigh, Lewis Carroll and
Oscar Wilde. Thirty-six colleges make
up Oxford.
Most lately, however, the historical
campus has been a hot spot for filming
of blockbuster movies and television
shows, which has not amused all of the
residents at Oxford.
Last year the community endured
filming for the Savoy Pictures release
“Shadowlands,” starring Anthony
Hopkins and Debra Winger, which
opened to glowing high marks from crit-
ics and earned Academy Awards nomi-
nations. The story about a high-minded,
though doomed love affair between an
Oxford campus used in movies
outspoken American woman and an
inhibited English scholar may have
made audiences cry more than
“Philadelphia.”
“From what I heard the colleges
themselves were not very keen on (the
filming),” said Robin Prestage, an offi-
cer of the British Tourism Authority. “It
tends to disrupt the routine. It’s not that
they’re unfriendly. Most of the filming
would have to be done around the build-
ings, and there’s not much room. It’s
basically a little medieval city. Places
like Vancouver and Manhattan are not
universities. If you asked the people at
Harvard if they’d want a lot of filming
done around there, I think they’d say no.
The work of a university is learning.”
Certainly, Oxford doesn’t look as if
it’s beckoning to Hollywood. Stern-
looking professors still wear their tradi-
tional black robes to class, a far cry
from American professors who are as
likely to wear jeans as not.

The Psychology behind
the Citibank Classic Visa card: The
emotional security of the Photocard, now with No Annual Fee.
The Citibank Classic Visa’ instills in students feelings of safety, security, and general
wellness not unlike those experienced in the womb. Therefore, it is the mother of all
credit cards. { Some experts attribute these feelings to the Citibank Photocard, the
first credit card with your photo on it. A voice inside says, “This
is me, really me.” (As opposed to, “Who the heck is that?”—a *
common response to the photo on one’s Student ID.) It’s an
immediate form of ID, a boost to your self-image. {| Of course if

In addition to picking search
committee members and the
Interim Chancellor the board
also paid tribute to Johnstone
and his years as Chancellor. The
board passed a Resolution of
Appreciation for Johnstone. In a
written statement the board stat-
ed, “Dr. Johnstone’s leadership
in higher education became rec-
ognized nationally and interna-
tionally. He stimulated both dis-
cussion and action on what high-
er education must do to be more
productive in the future.”
Johnstone was SUNY’s sixth
Chancellor and served as
President of the State University
College at Buffalo for nine
years.
Johnstone told the board
“what SUNY lost in its five year
(budget) struggle is the ability to
add.” Johnstone said he preached
that SUNY has to live with what
it has but said he felt he had to
remind the board there has to be
growth.

course I knew this when I
appointed them that they were
strong people. That is why I
appointed them.” :
A letter from Albino to the
grievance board stated, “another
instrumental aspect that our
president touched upon... was
that he is the president of the
Student Association and this
gives him the power to be
biased. A power and a bias that
he has been exercising since he
came into his office.”
In reference to this, Hahn said,
“We are biased, every one of us
is and anyone who denies that
they are is just lying to them-
selves. I have never acted on my
biases; I have never come out
against someone because they
were black, or because they were
Latino, or because they were
gay, or because they were shorter
than me or for any reason what-
soever.”
The motion is expected to
come up again at next week’s
council meeting, due to some
confusion over the wording.

the Danes sent a small squad to the
Robert Kane Invitational at Cornell on
February 19.
This was a non-scoring match in
which Vives hoped to practice against top
competition.
Nixon won big again, this time at the
pole vault with 15’5 1/2”. Scott Carroll
came within a second from qualifying for
the Nationals at the mile, running 4:17.4,
good enough for third place.
Despite having competition with 25
teams from all divisions and Canada,
Albany managed to reach the top five.
The Metropolitan Athletics Congress
Indoor Championships in New York was
the next stop for the Danes.
The big surprise at the meet was the
performance of the 4x400 relay team. An
entirely new team was given a shot, fin-
ishing third with a mark of 3:32.6. This
team consisted of freshman Jomo.
Forrester, junior Sean Condell, junior
Keith Liburd and senior Travis Miller.
Running the anchor leg, Miller had a 50.5
and will be in the relay at Princeton.
When they show up at Princeton,
Albany will face 96 schools almost all
from Division I. The IC4A is the oldest
meet in the country consisting of schools
from North Carolina to Maine. The quali-
fying standards are often tougher than
Division III National standards.
“The best thing in coaching is when the
athletes believe in themselves. I feel our
team is at that point,” Vives said.

Lady Danes’ season comes to a close
By AARON GREENBERG
Staff Writer
The season ended for the
University at Albany’s Lady Danes
basketball squad in a devastating
defeat courtesy of the University at
Stony Brook in the NYSWCAA
Tournament.
The Danes went on a big midsea-
son run, but it ended in the final
stretch.
The last five games were a sloppy
mix of wins and losses due to play-
ers trying to find comfort in their
roles with an undermanned staff.
After wiping out Utica College,
the Danes returned home with a
13-6 record on February 12 to bat-
tle the Elmira Soaring Eagles, with
the same record.
Elmira turned out to be rude
guests, taking an 8-6 lead to open
the game. Albany came racing back
with a 12-2 run playing aggressive
on both ends. During this rally,
senior co-captain Lynda Nealis
scored her 1000th career point on a

The University at Albany Men’s Track
and Field Team added new members to
the roster of those qualifying for the
Nationals in a record breaking perfor-
mance at the Collegiate Track Conference
Championships.
In addition, Albany added two more
quality meets, and heads to the prestigious
Intercollegiate Association of Amateur
Athletes of America competition at
Princeton in stride.
On February 12 and 13, the CTC’s at
Southern Connecticut State University
were used as a forum for the Danes to
show their dominance.
Leading by only two points after the
first day of competition, Albany picked up
its pace, taking first place in seven of the
21 events. The 180 points for the Danes is
the most for any team in the thirty year
history of the meet.
Eleven teams competed, but “we totally
dominated the meet,” Albany coach
Roberto Vives said.
It was a big two days for freshman
Vincent Hodnett, junior Oscar Almen-
darez and senior William Vanos.
