ASUBA holds speak out to promote Washington march

RZA protesters disrupt rally calling F arrakhan * ‘anti-Semitic ©

By KEVIN DEVALK
Associate News Editor

A speak-out sponsored by the Albany
State University Black Alliance (ASUBA)
Wednesday afternoon behind the Campus
Center was countered by a protest from
the Jewish group Revisionist Zionist
Alternative (RZA).

The ASUBA speak-out was in support
of a march that will occur in Washington
Monday to be called the Million Man
March. The march will be led by black -
men, in support of the justice, unity and
self-determination for black men and
women, and will be part of the National
Day of Atonement.

RZA protested the march because a
principle participant, Minister Louis Far-
rakhan, said in their own opinion, is an
anti-Semite. Stuart Finkelstein, RZA’s
president, said RZA is not opposed to the
march, they are simply opposed to the
involvement of Farrakhan, who they are
calling a “racial supremesist.”

ASUBA’s leaders, however, urged the

RZA protests speak out rally.

several-dozen students in to break down
barriers such as religious beliefs or race.
Rasheem Ameid-Rooke, the president of
ASUBA, said “This day is not about them
(RZA), it’s about us (blacks)...The day is
so we can come together and be a family
again.”

Ameid—Rooke called for unity and a
love of all people of any skin color, say-
ing people have an obligation to do so
from God. “The reality. of God is with
every brother and sister,” he said.

“We can’t live in an either/or society. If
we want to advance we must see our
brothers and sisters advance too,” said
Paul Davis, vice president of Alpha Phi
Alpha fraternity, Inc.

ASUBA will be sponsoring a group
going to Washington, but according to
Ameid—Rooke, there will be many stu-

dents from SUNYA there who are not
current members of ASUBA. According
to Rooke, 2.5 million are registered for
the event nationwide, but probably not all
of them will show up.

speak-out, Rosa Clemente, former presi-
dent of ASUBA, urged those in atten-
dance not to be swayed by those who
don’t support the march.

At about the same time, members of
RZA paraded in, holding signs and chant-
ing protests. Members of RZA then flood-
ed though the crowd and remained silent,
listening to the speakers.

Clemente criticized RZA for wishing to
stop the movement, and said, “Ask them
when they (RZA) are going to talk about
these issues.”

Toward the end of the speak-out, Ronn
Torossian, former president of RZA and
current advisor of CJC/Amcha, interrupt-
ed Ameid—Rooke by screaming, “I think
the real question is the nation of Islam is
the KKK.” This created an uproar
amongst the crowd. Ameid—Rooke
attempted to continue his speech undis-
turbed, but RZA members briefly began

Former surgeon general Novello to appear
on SUNYA for alcohol awareness week

By KEVIN DEVALK
Associate News Editor

Former Surgeon General Antonia Novel-
lo will speak at the University this Wednes-
day as part of Alcohol Awareness Week.
Covella, the first female and Hispanic to
serve in the post, will discuss “Alcohol,

AIDS, and Sexuality on College Campus-

Former Surgeon General Antonia Novello M.D.

Novella, currently a representative of
UNICEF, advised the public as surgeon
general on issues such as AIDS, smoking,
and disease prevention.

“We chose Dr. Novello for the event
because she has been a leading figure in
alcohol and drug abuse prevention for col-
lege students around the country,” said M.
Delores Cimini, coordinator for alcohol and
drug abuse prevention at the University
Counseling Center. Novello became sur-
geon general in 1990.

The fifth annual National Collegiate
Alcohol Awareness week will be next
week. The speech will be held October 18
at 2:00 p.m.

The University is planning workshops
and other events for the week. Among the
other workshops given for students by staff
are: “Can You Tell?...Should You Act?”, a
workshop about substance abuse; “How
Much is Too Much”, given be trained pro-
fessionals from Middle Earth; and “Women
and Alcohol: Are We Really Different
From Men?” presented by a staff psycholo-
gist from University Counseling Center.

screaming protest chants once again.

Clemente closed the speak-out by pay-

ing tribute to the late Dr. Vivian Gordon,
the Africana Studies Chairperson that
passed away earlier this year. “Dr. Gor-
don was a freedom fighter. She died
because-she was sick of racism...She is
looking down from Heaven now,”
Clemente said.

Emotions ran high as the crowd ended
the speak-out by singing the black nation-
al anthem, “Lift Every Voice eid Sing.”
As they sung, members of RZA once
again resorted to protest chants such as
“Farrakhan is David Duke”.

Representatives of Hillel, the other SA
funded Jewish group on Campus, were
also present. Before the speak-out began,
Michael Shapiro, Hillel’s president, said,
“Jews can’t stand by right now as hate is
being spewed on campus. This is really
for every student group. This is not Jews
vs. blacks, it is Jews vs. Farrakhan.”

The speak-out began at noon and lasted
about an hour.

An interactive televised affirmative action debate took place in LC-19
Wednesday afternoon. The debate, televised live from Washington, fea-
tured discussion from prominent educators and other leaders from around

the country.

The principle concern addressed was the Supreme Court ruling ending
affirmative action at the University of California. Students called the pro-
gram using a 1-800 number from all over the country, and had their opin-
ions expressed on the program. Many of the students that got through
were from the University of California.

Hlast from the dS
SUNYA< students able to vote

October 14, 1980
By Amy Kantor

After a ten year struggle, Albany col-
lege students living away from home now
can register to vote here for all local,
state, and national elections.

SUNYA’s legal battle was won last
Thursday when U.S. District Judge Neal
McCurn of Utica handed down a Federal
Court order which allowed eleven stu-
dents to register to vote in Albany County
for the November 4 election.

The order came after eight months of
court litigation in time for the tenth
anniversary of the 26th Amendment to the
United States Constitution, which guaran-
tees those 18 years of age or older the
right to vote.

The October 9 ruling represents the first
positive legislation involving the right of
college students to vote in their school
communities, and strikes down part of the
New York State Education Law which
established standards for voter residency
in 1972.

State Board of Elections executive

director Thomas W. Wallace called Judge .

McCurn’s verdict a “potentially landmark
decision”.

Legal counselor for the eleven arose
ing SUNYA students and SA attorney
Jack Lester terms the court preliminary
injunction “a major breakthrough after ten
years of waiting on the decision.”

To date, the voting rights of students
have been violated in New York State
despite the 14th, 15th, and 26th Constitu-
tional Amendments, and Sections 1971,
1973, and 1983 of ge ge of the United
me Election
ip Albany

ech requil to Ail out all
personal information Diges in addition to
their mail registration forms. The survey
requests detailed information concerning
the personal life and financial state of the
applicant.

According to the memorandum- deci-
sion and order record of the case, when
the Albany Countyh Board of Commis-
sioners under the direction of Raymond J.
Kinley Jr., and George Scaringe first met
to -hear the case of the SUNYA students
last February 20, they explained why the

students were denied registration rights
stating:

“You (the students) do not have a valid,
permanent and fixed residence in the
County of Albany for voting purposes.”

Later, “in personal appeals” by students
to the Commission were met with denials
because dormitories were not considered
“legal residences for voting purposes”.

One of the prosecuting students,
Stephen Schrieber, an off-campus student,
was told in an individual hearing that he
could not vote in Albany because he did
not have “sufficient roots here”.

However, he does not live with his par-
ents, “and they recently moved out of the
state.” He.became “disenfranchised”
because his registration application was
not valid in any of the states.

Following the order of the court that
students can register here, the County
Board refused answer to the alleged dis-
crimination and appropriate registration
procedures under the election code.
Prosecuting SUNYA student Monica

Rossi, who lives on campus, purposely |

did not register to vote in her home coun-
ty. “I was hoping to register here.” She
did so on Saturday, in time to vote in
November.

On campus student Andrea DiGregorio,
and Rossi-both prosecuiting students-
expressed surprise regarding the court
decision. “It’s been an appeal for so long.
I just thought it would finally go through,”

said DiGregorio.

SA President Sue Gold and NYPIRG
State Board of Directors member Leslie
Haber considered the court order an
excellent decision “which will carry enor-
mous impact for students,” especially
those living off-campus.

SA and SASU feel that students will
now constitute a major voting block at the
Capital. According to Gold, “It was bla-
tantly undemocratic that students who
paid sales taxes and property taxes and
were included in the census for their col-
lege community were not allowed to
vote.”

SA attorney Jack Lester estimates that
25,000 new student votes can concievably
be added to local ballots.

By KEVIN DEVALK AND
STEPHANIE BETH FINDLING

Questions go unanswered for Internal Affairs :

During the committee reports
of the last Central Council meet-
ing, the Internal Affairs Commit-
tee expressed their unhappiness
with the manner in which Stu-
dent Association President Larry
Kauffman has acted towards the
committee.

In the committee report, they
criticized Kauffman for wrong-
doings concerning the SA van,
and his refusal to answer their
questions. The report also criti-
cizes Kauffman for failing to
inform the committee when
Supreme Court candidates will
be interviewed, leaving the com-
mittee to only learn about the
matters in the September 29
ASP.

In it’s published report given
to Central Council on Wednes-
day, IA wrote, “IA held a meet-
ing Tuesday night and found out,
through the ASP that we were to
interview Garrett Zito and
Andrew Goodman for their
Supreme Court appointments on
October 10th...President Kauff-
man failed to contact the Internal
Affairs Chair or Vice-Chair. We
had to find out about these
appointments through the
ASP...We would have liked to
interview Garrett Zito, unfortu-
nately because of the lack com-
munication with the President
we were not able to interview
him.”

Kauffman is being investigat-
ed for three allegations concern-
ing the SA van. Kauffman was
the driver of the van which was
used to transport students to and

from the Hillel cruise several
weeks ago, and the van arrived
an hour late to a group that had
properly requested use of it.
Also, eight bags of Kauffman’s
personal belongings were left in
the van.

The second allegation took
place in July, when Kauffman
got into an accident while driv-
ing the van and failed to report
it. The third allegation took
place when the SA van was
reported missing, and Kauffman
was reported as the last one driv-
ing it. Kauffman said he parked
the van across the street from
Chapel House.

The report said [A members
Wanda Doening and Christopher
Wilson wished to question
Kauffman about the matters last
Thursday. However, according
to the report, Kauffman said he

refused to be questioned without
his lawyer present, and without
at least 48 hours of advance
notice concerning what the ques-
tions would be asked.

IA Chairman Samantha Hio-
takis and Vice Chairman Bennett
questioned Kauffman about it on
Friday. However, Kauffman

once again refused to be ques-

tioned.
At the Council meeting,

‘Kauffman expressed his unhap-

piness with the fact Hiotakis sent
members of her committee to

question him. He said she should °

show enough regard to the office
of the president to come herself.
Hiotakis responded by saying,
“All members of my committee
are equals,” and therefore it
didn’t matter who questioned
him. ;
The committee wanted to

question Kauffman about his
failure to inform them they
needed to interview Garrett Zito
for an appointment on Supreme
Court. Instead, Zito approached
Chairman Hiotakis October 10,
saying he was scheduled to be
questioned on October 11. ~
That night, Central Council
chairman Michael Castrilli was
contacted by Kauffman where
Kauffman said Andrew Good-
man would also be interviewed
on Wednesday October 11.
However, Hiotakis said in the
report Kauffman once again
failed to inform the committee.
The end result of this was
none of the interviews that IA
needs to perform in order to

_approve a candidate were done.

Therefore, Central Council was
pushed off on voting for the jus-
tices for another week.

USSA decision

Surely, many are aware of the
recent budget cuts both proposed
and passed by New York city
and state governments. Many of!
these cuts, particularly pertain-
ing to financial aid, have serious-
ly inflicted our education system
with tremendous burden. They
also have the potential of limit-
ing opportunities for some of
obtaining a decent education.

News Feature

Various grassroots organiza-
tions exist to fight and protect
education as well as other stu-
dent interests. Such organiza-
tions include the SASU (Student
Association for State Universi-
ties), and the USSA (United
States Student Association).
Such organizations require the
support of many universities.

During the Spring Recess of
1995, several referendums
regarding the renewal of the con-
tracts of support, including one
with USSA, were held to poll
the interests of SUNYA students.
Results showed the greatest

the USSA and the SA has not

Tapahonso stunned the audi-

Alcohol is used in our society
for a host of reasons, sometimes
inappropriately. People tend to
use alcohol to calm down,
unwind, relax, increase self-
esteem, lower inhibitions, or
even to indirectly deal with a
problem. In fact, alcohol is a
depressant that affects the cen-
tral nervous system-specifically
the way we think, act, and feel.
When making decisions about
drinking, it is necessary to know
what alcohol does to you physi-
cally and psychologically.

Alcohol consumption can
affect your body directly and
indirectly. Alcohol is absorbed
relatively quickly into the blood-

stream through the
Middle stomach and small

intestine. After cir-
Earth culating throughout
Roots _ the entire body, the

alcohol is then
slowly broken down, mostly by
the liver. Generally speaking, it
takes approximately one hour for

your body to break down the

alcohol of one standard drink (12
oz. beer, 5 oz. wine, or 1.5 oz. of
hard liquor). Consumption of
alcohol over an extended period
of time can lead to loss of
appetite, heart, liver, and central
nervous system damage, skin
problems, vitamin deficiencies,
and sexual impotence in men.
Women that are pregnant not
only run the risk of harming
themselves, but also can harm

the developing baby.

The short term effects of
excessive alcohol use can also
lead to many problems. While

intoxicated your judgment coor-
dination and vision are impaired;
therefore, you tend to take more
risks and make poorer decisions.
If you drink too much alcohol in
a short amount of time, the anes-
thetic functioning, resulting in a
coma, or.even death. Drinking
and driving is a notoriously bad
combination, but it still occurs
even with stricter enforcement
and.widespread knowledge
about the dangers involved.
Why???.The effects of the alco-
hol on judgments and coordina-
tion impair the potential drivers
decision making and the driver’s
reaction time while on the road.
Some other high risk activities
associated with alcohol use
include: working around mach-
inery, boating, hunting, and even
climbing stairs. Otherwise nor-
mal activities can become poten-
tially dangerous when carried
out under the influence of alco-
hol.

As alcohol use affects the
body, it also affects behavior.
Sometimes people who are
drunk say and do things that they
later regret. Alcohol blocks the
messages traveling to your brain
and alters your perceptions and
emotions. A common reason that
people drink is to make social-
ization easier by lowering inhibi-
tions. This can lead to even more
questions and problems. “ “I
don’t know what I was thinking
last night, I am not attracted to
that person at all.” “S/he is fine
when not drunk, but after a few
drinks, it’s like Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde.”

Students nationwide moving toward racial reconciliation in an uncertain time

(CPS) Students setting out to
integrate a cafeteria: it sounds
like a scene from the civil rights
movement of the early 60s. But
it’s happening now in the 90s.

And it’s part of a trend toward
racial reconciliation that’s
sprouting on some college cam-
puses nationwide.

At Concordia University in
Wisconsin, students are attempt-
ing to break through the volun-
tary segregation in the dining
hall by choosing panners of dif-
ferent races to eat with once a
week. Traditionally, black stu-
dents have tended to gather in
the back of the cafeteria, while
whites at the Lutheran institu-
tion, located near Milwaukee,
consider the space off limits, say

students.

Two years ago, students started
a racial reconciliation group as
an offshoot of the Minority/
Black Student Organization. A
cluster of African Americans and
whites began holding regular
meetings to discuss racial ten-
sions and combat stereotypes.
Volunteers, such as Andre
Gillespie, who is black, paired
off with white students as week-
ly meal companions.

“The lunch room is where you
can see the disparity on cam-
pus,” Gillespie says. “We were
hoping to clear up some myths
and misunderstandings among
students of different races.”

at colleges and the furor over the
O.J. verdict and the Furhman
tapes has attracted worldwide

media attention, easing racial

tensions on campus has become
as challenging as ever.

One way to narrow the racial
divide is for students to talk
about it—not ignore or paper
over differences, says Harlon L.
Dalton, a black professor at Yale
Law School.

Because race does not seem
salient in their lives, many
whites tend to dismiss it as irrel-
evant, Dalton contends. “The
most troublesome consequence
of race obliviousness is the fail-
ure of many to recognize the
privilege our society confers on
them because they have white
skin,” Dalton writes in his book,
“Racial Healing: Confronting the
Fear Between Black and
Whites.”

Blacks and whites should con-
front each other about race with
candor and respect, Dalton adds.
“For it is by exploring the things
we dare not say to each other
that we can best get to know
each other,” he writes.

Concordia students agree the
best way to learn about one

_al blueprint,”

another is to talk about their per-
ceptions and differences. Tracy
VonHeron, who agreed to join a
black student for lunch last
semester, went to an all-white
high school in Missouri. She
wanted to get to know someone
from a different background.

“T found at first it was uncom-
fortable, but as I got to know
him I saw he was just as much of
a person as I was,” she says.
“Some of my stereotypes and
beliefs come from my parents’
experiences. I wanted to have
experiences of my own.”

Bi-racial group gossips are
friendly but occasionally intense.
“We talk about how whites don’t
understand how blacks act,” says
sophomore Duwon Peck, an
African American. “We discuss
why it’s so hard for us to talk
and get to know each other.”

“We all have prejudices,”
Gillespie says. “I want the
(whites) to understand my point
of view, and I want to understand
their point of view.”

This fall, Rutgers University
implemented what university
officials there call a “multicultur-

race relations on campus.

aimed at improving —

The plan was created in
response to the uproar caused by
comments made last spring by
Rutgers President Francis
Lawrence, who said minority
students lacked the “genetic
hereditary background” to do
well on standardized academic
tests. This year’s first-year orien-
tation program included activi-
ties to help students understand
the multicultural society in
which they live, while new lists
of class offerings flag courses of
special relevance to minorities.

“It’s a way for the school to
approach both the academic and
social aspects of college life for
students,” says Harvey Trabb,
Rutgers spokesperson. “It is a
way to strengthen the universi-
ty.”

During freshman orientation at
the University of Wisconsin in
Madison, skits are performed to
show entering students situations
they may encounter in their new
environment. The skits depict
subjects ranging from loneliness
to alcohol abuse and date rape to
racial stereotyping.

Senior Nate Stampley played
the black half of a team of room-
mates this summer. “My charac-
ter’s name is Mario. When I
come in, my roommate is sur-
prised,” he explains. “He’s defi-
nitely not expecting anyone
black. He assumes I’m an ath-
lete. I tell him not all black stu-
dents are athletes.”

A new Study reports that one in three black men

parole in the United States. The breakdown of the
African American family and drug abuse are often
cited as ‘the immediate causes of the increase in
crime. Yet, a look back at the economic roots of the
present crisis offers a far more telling explanation
for the current plight facing African Americans.

In the mid 1950s, automation began taking its

in their 20s are imprisoned, on probation, or on |

toll in the nation’s manufacturing sector. Hardest
hit were unskilled jobs in the very industries where
black workers were concentrated. Between1953
and 1962, 1.6 million blue-collar jobs were lost in
the manufacturing sector. While the unemployment
rate for black Americans had never exceeded 8.5
percent between 1947 and 1953 and the white rate
of unemployment had never gone beyond 4.6 per-
cent, by 1964, blacks were experiencing an unem-
ployment rate of 12 percent while white unemploy-
ment was only 5.9 percent.

The introduction of computers and numerical
control technology on the factory floor in the 1960s
accelerated the displacement process. Today, the
same technological and economic forces are begin-
ning to affect large numbers of white male workers
with potentially ominous consequences for society
at-large. Sophisticated computers, telecommunica-
tions, robotics, and other Information Age tech-
nologies are fast replacing human beings in virtual-
ly every sector and industry.

While the emerging “knowledge sector” and new
markets will create some new jobs, they will likely
be far too few to absorb the millions of workers
displaced by technology. That’s because the new
Information Age economy is based on the use of
ever smaller elite work forces combined with auto-
mated technologies to process goods and services,
while the industrial economy relied on mass human
labor to produce goods and services.

The steady decline of mass labor threatens to
undermine. the very foundations of modern society.
For nearly 200 years, the heart of the social con-
tract and the measure of individual human worth
have centered on the value of each person’s labor.
How does society even begin to adjust to a new
economic era in which most people’s labor is
increasingly devalued and even made worthless?

Every nation will have to grapple with the ques-
tion of what to do with the millions of people
whose labor is needed less, or not at all. The
growth of the penal economy is one way to address
the growing social unrest, crime and violence. If we
continue along that path, we are likely to see
increasing numbers of both white and black males
in jail in the years to come. The alternative is a
soul-searching, nationwide debate on how best to
share the vast productivity gains of the emerging

EDITORIAL

Free Speech is for Everyone

On Tuesday, The Albany Student Press allowed an adver-
tisement to run from the on-campus group Campus Crusade
for Christ, which contained a women who claimed she
renounced being a lesbian after discovering God. Since that
time, several people have come to express their opinions,
both for and against the ad. Many people feel that we
should have not run the ad because it is detrimental towards
those on campus who are homosexual. But for a newspaper,
no matter where it is located, one of the most important
principals it tries to uphold is the idea of free speech.

Now under this principal of free speech we very often
have to listen to people who we don’t agree with, and who
we don’t like, but if we deny them the ability to express
their opinion, why should they allow us to express our opin-
ion? Free speech has to work both ways.

The policy of the The Albany Student Press in regards to
advertising is that when a campus group buys space in the
newspaper, the space is theirs. Their ad does not necessarily
reflect the feelings of anyone on staff. If we refused the ad
from this particular campus group because it offends people
who are homosexual and are pro—gay rights, then why
should we accept an ad which would be offending to those
who do not believe in homosexuality because there are peo-
ple on this campus which do believe in that? It would not be
ethical and fair to draw that kind of line in regards to the
print media because it would mean the denial of their right
to express their opinions.

However, another point that was brought up was the fact
that The Albany Student Press refused an ad to run with a
column in 1993 which was from an organization not on this
campus which was anti-Semitic. The editorial board of the
paper decided to run the column which was just as
anti-Semitic, but not the ad. Now this does create a paradox
with the policy discussed above. There is one difference: the
newspaper on this campus is not for the city of Albany, but
for the students here on this campus. Our job is to give
attention to every faction on campus to the best of our abili-
ty. Do the members of the staff agree with everything that is
said by every group on campus? Of course not. But because
this newspaper is one of the few outlets where students can
express their thoughts, our job is to try and give everyone a
chance to speak.

The Albany Student Press encourages any student, faculty
member, or worker with an opinion to write a letter to the
editor, a viewpoint, to take out advertising space, to respond
to anything which they see here that they agree or disagree
with. Coming up to the office and chewing out members of
the staff really does nothing. We understand that certain
issues evoke more emotions than others, but next time try to
think about what this campus would be like if there was no
newspaper on this campus. Where would you be able to
express your opinion about anything you see or hear on this
campus? Probably no where, which is an infinitely more
scary thought.

Information Age to give every American both a
place and stake in the economic future of the coun-
try. If however, the productivity gains of the Infor-
mation Age are not shared,~but rather used primari-
ly to enhance corporate profit, chances are that the
growing gap between the haves and the have-nots
will lead to widespread social disintegration and
increased crime and imprisonment ona scale previ-
ously unknown in America.

Jury Comment

Consider Sheila Woods. A nutritionist with a college
degree, she is also the daughter of a former officer in the
reserve forces of the Los Angeles Police Department.
She has had prior jury experience and was on a jury that
convicted a man accused of domestic violence. She says
that given her experience with her father, she is inclined
to “trust the police.”’ She voted to acquit O.J. Simpson.

“I walked into the jury room with the presumption that

Karen Grigsby Bates

he was innocent until we could prove him guilty,”
Woods told Katie Couric of the “Today” show. “We did
not feel we had enough evidence to do anything else.”

Other jurors have come forward, slowly, to identify
themselves and talk about their experiences, and this is
good. Because until they do, most of Los Angeles will
continue to slander them for the decision they were
legally entitled to reach. The district attorney’s office
(which, after all, had some say in choosing jurors) has
said in a dozen ways: Well, what can you expect?
Blacks! : )

If I had a nickel for every white person who huffs
about his certainty that this jury acquitted Simpson on
racial empathy, I could personally pay the defense
“dream team.”’ And as this clamor for jury reform -

fueled by white anger that a black jury did not reach the
verdict that white Americans wanted it to - rises, so does
the anger of so-called Reasonable Black People.

You know us. We don’t hate “Whitey.’’ We do work
side by side, cordially, with white people every day.
Some of us have warm social relationships with white
people and even sometimes talk about race with our
white friends. And we do not believe in a vast network
of white conspiracy that rears its head every time a black
person seeks to rise above the alleged place assigned to
him or her in American society.

Post-verdict, some of us are starting to change our
minds. My Boston friend grew up in the South and says
the rabidity of white reaction reminds her uncomfortably
of the Southern whites who clamored for the heads of
accused black felons before they were even brought to
trial. A federal prosecutor, a guy who spends, as he says,
“lots of time putting away brothers,” shakes his head in
disgust. “You can bet that we wouldn’t still be jawing
over this if the jury had gone the other way,” he says.
“Then, the system would have worked, of course, and no
reforms would be necessary.”

Instead, the jury went the other way, and so we get
aspersions cast on the intelligence, the diligence and the
honesty of people who gave nearly a year of their lives

A man called a Pasadena talk show to volunteer that

“black people should not be allowed to sit on juries,
because they don’t have the brains of a dog.”’ In more
polite but no less uncertain terms, District Attorney Gil
Garcetti has made the same observation. (How interest-
ing that his office expressed full faith in the jury’s ability
to do its civic duty - until the verdict did not vindicate
the D.A.’s efforts.) Letters full of bile and outrage con-
tinue in the Los Angeles Times, excoriating the jury for
thinking, essentially, like black people and not like
Americans. (What about the three jurors who weren’t
black and voted to acquit? Were they made stupid by
association?)

Perhaps as the jurors begin to make themselves and
their rationale for acquitting Simpson public, white
Americans will begin to calm down and realize that
thought actually did go into their deliberations. As
Woods pointed out: “I had seven notebooks filled with
notes I took when every witness took the stand.” The
jurors were considering evidence, Woods asserts, not
their feelings. And in the end, there wasn’t enough of the
right kind of evidence - uncontested by the possibility of
contamination or perjury - to allow them to do what
most of white America so fervently wished.

ASPing For Trouble

As the Albany weekend began, students. were
bombarded with the aftermath of the O.J. circus,
coverage of the Papal visit in New York, and other
milestone events including Columbus Day (The famed
National holiday when we don’t get off, although I
declared it so by sleeping through classes), and the
decision to do the laundry (I got tired of turning my
boxers inside out for the fifth day in a row).

In order to escape the usual bustle and anxieties of a
SUNYA student, I ventured home to the little hamlet of
Northport, Long Island to celebrate my brother’s
engagement and my twentieth birthday. What I didn’t
realize was that the perfect little town where I grew up
transformed into a pit of hell.

It all began with the visitation of my neurotic Jewish
grandmother, which was brief, yet the pain still
endured for days after. Yes, it was a Sixteen Candles
birthday for me. Not only was I not. showered with
beautiful gifts from the family, my grandma forgot the
festive event entirely all together (at least Molly
Ringwald got a birthday cake, a sickening yet romantic
conclusion to her shitty day, and felt up by her
grandparents).

Not that being twenty is really that special,
considering the fact that for a span of a year you’re in a
constant state of limbo. Let me explain: Being twenty
means that you leave the precious and naive years of
adolescence behind to begin a fresh decade of hardship,
famine, until the point of total mental vacancy (if your
an english major like me). In the:same respect, it*s
another year in which everything you want to do that’s
considerably cool can get you locked up or caned (if
you study spray paint art abroad in Singapore).

My special day: wasn’t the only thing that slipped her
memory (like lifting the toilet seat up before relieving
herself, and not giving tongue when she kisses the
family goodbye). Throughout my brother’s engagement
party the usual flow of conversation consisted mainly
of wedding party plans, but when grandma entered all
discussions it shifted towards Free Willy 2. To this day,
she believes that free Willy was about a pack of seals
running around (a good friend of mine shouted in her
ear that it was a whale; until I pointed out the fact that
she isn’t deaf, she just doesn’t listen).

After spending the remainder of my birthday
travelling back in a car to Albany, little did I know the
disaster which awaited me. I decided to go out for my
daily bike ride, when my good, clean, fun was hindered
by a broken front wheel. As a result, I found myself
sprawled out on the ground ten feet away from the
bike, and across from the health center (how ironic).

The next day I entered the health center thinking |
would leave all patched up and taken care of, instead I
left with a urine sample taken, a bottle of big blue pills
for decongestion, and five bottles of robitussin (just say
no to robitripping! This form of substance abuse is way
too rampant on our drug-free campus).

All in all, it was an eventful weekend indeed. In a
span of three days I said goodbye to my teens, I lost a
brother to the institution of the eternally damned
(marriage, that is), and was miserably unable to forget
the issues of weeks past. Topics such as UAS food
quality (Did you remember to purchase a Hallmark for
the first Anniversary of our campus extension, the sole
providers of scrumdiliumptious cuisine ), ASP bashing
at Central Council meetings, and of course, the O.J.
verdict. In attempts to avoid beating a dead horse in
concern to the O.J. trial (no pun intended), it was as fair
as saying Keanu Reeves is really a powerful actor or
that Jeffrey Dahmer just had an eating disorder. It all
fits together snugly, kind of like a glove.

Strange Days has all the ingredients
of a great sci-fi thriller. The plots
bases itself in reality, but with a
surreal twist. Beginning with an
onslaught of madness two days
before the new millennia, urban
war-like tensions between the police

and the citizens of 1999 Los Angeles’

add tangents of reality
to the plot. The scene
reminds one a bit of
the East Village at 2
am, only better. Enter
ex-—cop turned street
peddler, Lenny Nemo
(Ralph Fiennes).

Lucifer N.
Jones

Lenny works hard to
turn a buck in his
futuristic environment.
He sells little slices of
people’s lives via
digital recordings. He
tells a potential client,
“If you can think it,
you can live it.”
Hooking into. the
“wire” allows one to
step into someone
else’s life for a time, to
see it, to feel it, to
touch it, to live it. The
wire is the ultimate
drug of the. new
millennia.

There’s just one
problem. Someone is
slipping Lenny “blackjacks,” snuff
clips. The murder he witnesses
involves an acquaintance, Iris (Juliette
Lewis), who came to him for help the
day before. Her death clip pulls
Lenny and his sidekick Mace (Angela
Bassett) into a sordid web that may
very well extend throughout the city.

Causes Strange Days

Bigelow is known for her talent of

‘to have them become engulfed in the

‘understanding of how one unrelated

When he receives a second death clip,
he’s convinced the killer has the
potential to create an all out explosive
urban war in Los Angeles.

Director Kathryn Bigelow attempts
to meld all these ingredients into a
thriller that flows into the mind of the
viewer, and she almost pulls it off.
The beginning is a bit slow, but

creating artful cinema. She directs
“the wire” onto her audience in order

environment, and ultimately become
part of the experience. Like Lenny,
she becomes the peddler and sells a
little slice of life for her audience to
experience. By the time the viewer
becomes comfortable with the
environment, she throws us into the
chase.

Lenny and- Mace race through
violence, racial tensions, and plain old
bad guys to rise above and do the
right thing in a world gone crazy with
millennia angst. The frenzy builds
and the viewer c an’t help but be
pulled into the action and develop an

incident of hate has the potential of
snowballing into catastrophe.

The crescendo, however, is
ultimately a let down. Bigelow backs
off in the end. She loses the frenetic
energy she has so carefully built, and
with it she loses the meaning she tries
to convey in her film. While the flick
turns out to be mediocre, one can’t
help but want to “think it, to live it”
out in a much more forceful way.

Video Notes
Little Odessa

ysically and spirituc
world in director/writer James Gray's
Little Odessa. Tim Roth stars as Joshua
Shapira, a hitman whose family lives in
Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, known as
Mlittle . Odessa’. for. its < high
concentration of Russian immigrants.

When a job takes him back to his old
neighborhood he tries to reconnect
with his disapproving father, lonely
teenage brother, and dying mother.

in the course of the film the cold
worlds of violence, and of family
disunity are symbolized by the frozen
streets of Brooklyn. The film’s sparse
score and emphasized lighting further
enhance the haunting setting.

Cliches are avoided in the attempts
made for family redemption as are the
performances of troubled teen and
sickly matron, by Edward Furlong and
Vanessa Redgrave, respectively.

A first feature by Gray suggesting a
knowing eye which will continue to
create sincere portraits.

Threads And Family Bind An American Quilt

For those of you who are all
for the legalization’ of
marijuana, it is absolutely
necessary to attend a screening
of How To Make An American
Quilt. Early in the film two
actresses, Anne Bancroft and
Ellyn Burstyn, smoke up with
Winona Ryder. Seeing two
women in their 60s inhaling is
one of the funniest scenes of the
film.

Susan Craine

The film based on the novel

by Whitney Otto, tells the story
of Finn (Ryder) who has come
to spend the summer with her
grandmother Hy (Burstyn) and
great aunt Glady Joe (Bancroft)
to finish her thesis at their home
in Grasse, California. Finn is
also there to decide whether or
not to accept a marriage
proposal from her boyfriend
Sam (Dermot Mulroney).

Finn is also mothered by the
members of Hy and Glady’s
quilting group, an all start cast
including Maya Angelou
(Anna, who has the most
soothing voice in existence),
Jean Simmons (Em), Kate
Nelligan (Constance), and Alfre
Woodard (Marianna). On this
occasion the women meet to
sew Finn’s wedding quilt, a
metaphor for the container of
the. women’s love. As the
summer progresses Finn learns
behind the
individual patches of the quilt,
which ultimately helps her
make the decision of who to
malty.

All of the stories are overlaid
with a sense of mysticism and
destiny. However, this aspect of
the story worked much better
on paper than on the screen.

The final scene of Ryder
running after a crow with her
quilt wrapped about her did not

While the stories of Em and
Sophia are carried from
beginning to end with relatively
realistic endings, Anna and
Marianna’s characters are
severely underdeveloped. It is
hinted that

daughter have had _ their
differences, but it is never
explored.

Ryder once again plays a
confused young woman to
perfection, but on the whole
Finn’s character was not as

members of the cast who seem

to have much more fun with
their characters. It is quite
obvious that Bancroft, who is
the standout of the cast, and
Angelou are enjoying acting as
older women who are not afraid
to curse, be bossy, and drink
alcohol whenever they feel like
it.

If you are interested in

‘brushing up on_- your

knowledge of great older and
younger actresses, than How To
Make An American Quilt is a
must see. While the film does
not attain all of it’s ambitions, it
amicably relays the message

‘that with both love and life,
-your success is dependent on

the effort you put into it.

Dead Presidents

_ Dead Presidents is much more than a movie about a
bank heist. It’s a film that dives deep into the psyche of
1960s America though the eyes of Anthony, a Bronx
teenager (Larenz Tate). The film follows Anthony’s
odyssey and his loss of innocence and idealism on his
journey to manhood.

Directors Allen and Albert Hughes take the idealized
tale of Forrest Gump and give it a reality check. They
remove our rose-colored glasses and allow us to see the
real consequences of battle in a post-Vietnam war
America.

Lucifer N. Jones

Anthony graduates high school and decides to join the

‘| marines instead of following his brother’s footsteps into

college. He tells his parents he “wants to do right by his
country,” like his dad. He feels his country will do right
by him in return. Before his tour in the marines he falls in

i love like any idealistic youth, and spends time sharing

his dreams with his peers. The Hughes brothers paint an
illusory picture that slowly decomposes.
While in the marines, Anthony serves in a special

|| forces regime, which by all standards, should be an
honor. Only the “honor” consists of systematically killing
f and destroying the enemy. Anthony’s idealistic world
slowly crumbles around him. In the midst the horrors of

the Vietnam war, he tries to hold on to the thought that
he is doing this for his country. But he also begins to
question the reasons for his part in this destruction. It is
here that the viewer’s rose-colored glasses slowly come
off.

Anthony comes back to the Bronx a changed person.
He soon realizes that the real war begins here. His
country doesn’t “do him right” as he envisioned; he can’t
find a job, he is attacked for his part in the war. He feels
less than a man in the eyes of his girlfriend and child. He
turns to alcohol to escape his nightmares as well as his
realities. Eventually, he takes extreme actions in
desperation to grasp a piece of the fractured American
Dream.

Anthony’s realities wouldn’t be Gump’s worst
nightmares. Yet his story hits much closer to home in
depicting the realities of soldiers returning from Vietnam.
Anthony’s odyssey isn’t easy or comfortable to
experience; it cuts to the bone. This film causes the
viewer to open their eyes to the more realistic view of the
desperation of many American war veterans. Life, after
all, is not a Forrest Gump movie.

David Bowie’s Ingenuity Continues On Outside

_ It’s hard to be a genius
these days. There is too
much of a fixation on giv-
ing people what they want
leaving truly original, excit-
ing work largely dismissed.
No one pressed Zappa trib-
ute T-shirts two days after
he died and I’m sure when
David Bowie, one of rock’s
most underappreciated
artists faces his own mor-
tality, no more then a men-
tion on The Week In Rock
will be granted.

Despite a few mistakes in
the ‘80s, David Bowie was
and still is an artist strug-
gling to excite and chal-
lenge himself and audi-

ences alike. From his days
playing pubs in Britain under his
true name David Jones to the new
album Outside (Virgin), David
Bowie has had an amazing career as
a true renaissance artist.

To regain his former glory as the
king of high-concept oddness,
Bowie reunited with brilliant com-
poser, producer, and mad scientist
in his own right, Brian Eno. Bowie
worked with the legendary Eno (the

“mastermind behind U2’s Zooropa)
on his classic Low, Heroes, Lodger
trilogy which single handedly
invented modern British rock,
industrial, and ambient music.

The new album is not Nine Inch
Bowie. He is not washed up.
Outside is, in my not very humble at
all opinion, the greatest rock album
that has been released in the ’90s.

To take on this amazing burden of
chaos, Eno created a musical game
for the musicians to play. Every
musician was issued a card stating
their identity and musical history
and was instructed to keep their
identities secret from every one else
involved. Even. the assistant engi-
neers were given complex instruc-
tions as to their place in the game.
We’re talking role playing music
here.

Songs like “A Small Plot Of
Land” or even “Heart’s Filthy
Lesson” that might have lapsed into
generic '90s rock tunes come alive
with swirling disembodied pianos,
rhythmless guitars, and a bass that
could only be described as atonal
funk. Freeform jazz collides with
electronic music fighting for space

with tribal ambient funk
on a backdrop of hard
rock. Outside is so dense
that it appears no one
member of the recording
process knows everything
that is going on in the
record. After about a
dozen listens I’m still not
sure of exactly what is
going on.

Bowie shows his greatest
vocal performance to date,
combining speech, narra-
tive, chants, and that voice
into a vocal soundscape
that could stand on its
own. To produce the texts
Bowie fed his lyrics and
writing samples into a
computer program that
utilizes William _ S.
Burroughs’ “cut-up” tech-
‘nique, which is to take a
written phrase, physically cut out
every individual letter, and ran-
domly string the words into a new
sentence. Bowie was able to con-
stantly manipulate the texts into
stranger and stranger permutations
to produce what ended up on the
record.

Excite your brain. Give yourself
over to absolute musical pleasure.
Take yourself Outside with David
Bowie. Don’t be a fool like everyone
I saw walking out on Bowie after
NIN’s set in NJ. Discover where
Trent learned all his chops. And
when you discover that I’m right,
try Scary Monsters or Aladdin Sane.
Except for those three bad

mid-eighties albums, there is really

no Bowie you can go wrong with.
Rock on.

Despite this, the Bae
album contains many decent songs.

Earth ohatterin Q

Chuck Bennett

“Barry Um” is a typical Generation X song
about being 25 and doing nothing with life. The
band works with each other on this song, forget-
ting distortion which makes it a good but ulti-

mately forgettable tune.

“High” is the drug song of the album, and an
excellent song at that. Distortion is tastefully used
at key points between Hurley’s repetition of the
word “high” and occasionally singing a line or
two about lying on the floor, being free from the

world, etc.

The final song, “Alleyway,” is by far the best
song on the album. They use a funky bass line and
Hurley finally shows off his deep, soulful, singing
ability. With each chorus, Hurley gives the bass
player the spotlight for a few seconds and the bass

player does have some ability.

It is easy to tell this band was influenced by the
Pumpkins and the Pixies but they are not com-
plete mimics, instead they try to lighten up a little
more even if they never do figure out how to fully
utilize distortion. There are a handful of good
songs on this album which just might make it

worth the price of a CD.

Rock History As Taught By Mike Watt

Bloodhound Gang

Smells The ’80s

x &
“
ee
5 we

ae

All I have to say is welcome back to
the ’80s. The Bloodhound Gang car-
ries forth this idea on their major label
debut, Use Your Fingers (Colombia),
where these five guys create a fusion
of house, dance, disco, rock, and rap.

David Lipp

The Bloodhound Gang have some
decent songs with danceable beats
created by their DJ, Lupus. Beat—wise
they shine in some instances with
songs like. “We. Are “Yne
Knuckleheads” and “Legend In My

house loops. They also try to
show a little originality by
performing a couple of rock
jand roll songs like “Kids
|Incorporated” and “Kids in
America” as well as an
attempt at an R&B type song,
“She Ain’t Got No Legs.”
Although their beats aren’t
bad, lyrically they only prove
that they have raggedy,
whack rhymes you could
only write after talking shit
with your friends. With lines
like “If you would be the
peanut butter, I’ll peel apart
your bread and then I'll pene-
{trate your belly,” I think I
could write better lyrics in a
fF coma.

§ The funky beats and cheesy
and overused one-liners take
you on a trip back to the ‘80s.
From “Mama say mama sah,
‘ ma ma cu sah” to “Pump,
\ pump, pump, pump me up”
they seem to mercilessly beat

you with everything that the ‘80s had
to offer. The Bloodhound Gang go
from denouncing women (in many
different ways) to having the balls to
call Rip Taylor (who was a guest on
the album) God.

After listening to this album (and

making holes in the wall with my
head) I had a vision that will proba-
bly come true. I saw all the members
of the
McDonald’s, they were asking me
“Would you like fries with that?”

started the show. To the delight of the
freaks who knew tunes from his early
days with fIREHOSE, he started with “A
Formal Introduction.” From there it was
a smooth coast through 90 minutes of
Watt’s finest career points. Tracks from
his solo debut Ball Hog Or Tug Boat?
(Colombia) were mixed in with favorites

from some fIREHOSE

the line between punk,
jazz, funk, and arena
rock. Although songs
seldom ever went past

the musicianship and
jams were top notch.

relive his glory days of |
the 80s underground. |
The ethic extended }
into opener Six Finger |

Big Black and Devo. |

Guitarist John MacLean’s piercing
melodies and singer Jeremiah Ryan’s
strap-on keyboard helped showcase the
strongest points of both early new wave
and hardcore punk as heard on their new
album, Severe Exposure (Sub Pop).

The band kept their stage presence
controlled, only letting out aggression
and visual fury at calculated moments
(most notably during the highly dance-
able “Rabies (Baby’s Got The)” and
“Cock Fight” ).

Watt then walked straight through the

albums and the biggest
surprise of the night, a
hatfull of Minutemen
tunes which Watt had
previously vowed not
to do after the death of
guitarist D. Boon.

|) Watt played many of
| his best known covers
ssuch as Daniel
Johnston’s “Walking
The Cow,” Sonic
Youth’s “Tuff Gnarl”
and a 10 minute ver-
sion of the Funkadelic
classic “Maggot Brain”
played with only Watt
on bass and Nels Cline
on guitar.

As more and more
beer entered Watt’s system the show got
looser with Watt slapping and popping
away at his bass, trying to wow the kids
who were getting their first taste of
experimental rock. Watt’s stage presence
was confident, but not cocky or preten-
tious. He is one of those performers who
is up on stage because he truly enjoys
playing. He knew how to make the dedi-
cated fans happy without alienating
those who were just discovering him that
night. ,

Varied Sounds Thrown Into Garbage

Garbage (Almo Sounds) features
twelve songs of anger, pain, and obses-
sion. Garbage the band, and their album,
grew out of collaborations on remixes
for artists like Depeche Mode and Nine
Inch Nails. The band features Shirley
Manson on vocals and on drums and
sound processor, Butch Vig, known for
producing albums for the likes of
Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins. If you
are intending to buy this album to hear
the big guitar sound that Vig has
become synonymous with, you will be
greatly disappointed. Garbage’s music is
real sonic extravagance.

Steve Lamkin |

While the guitar is prominent in many
of the songs on the album, it plays only a
small role in the construction of each
track. It is the chaotic arrangement of
keyboard sounds, samples, and various
other miscellaneous “noise” that expand
each song and act as Garbage’s signa-
ture. Combined with Manson’s diverse
vocal style, wherein the band’s strength
lies, it paves the way for some quality
songs.

Her lyrics and vocal style intertwine

the power of PJ Harvey, the angst of
Alanis Morissette, and the passion and
seductiveness of the Cocteau Twins’ Liz
Frasier. Her various vocal elements are
detectable by the third track.

The album starts out with its most
radio-friendly track, “Supervixon,” a
brash song on which Manson sings “I
can take you out with a flick of my
wrist.” -

Following is the disturbingly seduc-
tive, slow, grooving track, “Queer” in
which Manson utters “You’re nothing
special here,” but follows with the
almost apologetic phrase, “You can
touch me if you want to.”

Later on the album Garbage takes a
turn toward mediocrity. It takes a few
times of patient listening before the mid-
dle five or six tracks grow on you. The
end of the album is brought back up a
notch by the PJ Harvey—esque “Fix Me
Now” and the dreamy “Milk.”

Garbage can best be summed up as a
mixture between Massive Attack and an
Elastica off Prozac, it’s bubble gum rock
with a dark edge. While the album does
have a handful of songs that are average
at best, it is one of the better debuts in
the last year.

While the album is
great as a whole, indi-
vidually there are only
two songs that stand

Best of all, three of the songs (“One in the Crowd,” “We
all Feel Better in the Dark,” and “Paninaro’ ’) actually fea-
ture Chris Lowe’s vocals.

Each progressing tfack embodies the changing nature
of music software, and the album acts almost as a histo-
ry book for club music over the past ten years. Tracing
the format from New York electro to Euro, to house to
acid, to spooky techno then, slowly and comfortably,
back to the primordial Euro Thump.

Any fan of the Pet Shop Boys and/or dance music will
appreciate the return of the original sounds that could be
heard coming out of mid ’80s dance clubs. The almost
simple, but always meaningful lyrics of Neil Tennant]
adds something extra to each and every track.

Every song is a perfect example of the Pet Shop Boys’
ability to take a dip in the almost extraneous pop culture
world without drowning themselves in it

Alternative is a striking example of the Pet Shop Boys
courage to push the musician envelope, and their ability
to express what music is and then reinvent it into what it

Something came to Saratoga Winners,
newly famous thanks to the success of
their single “Breakfast At Tiffany’s”
from their album, Home (Interscope).

Jason Black

The single’s folk-rock overtone has
likely given the wrong impression of
the band who are in fact much more
influenced and closer in sound to new
wave bands of the early ‘80s.
Fortunately DBS replaced synthesizers
and overbearing programming with
melodic guitar parts, actual drums
instead of machines, and well-executed
harmonies.

Brothers Toby and Todd Pipes trade
turns on lead harmonies, recalling a less
affected Morrissey and sifting out the
most sincere and upbeat aspects of the
vocal styles of British bands like The
Cure on “A Water Prayer” and “Red
Light”.

While the DBS put on a pleasing set,
the surprising gem of the evening was
opening act Jewel, on tour promoting
her album, Pieces Of You (Atlantic).

Jewel is 21 and could pass for a small-

cover girl. However, her voice revealed
the ability to go from Patsy Cline-like
depths to a Cowboy Junkies whisper.

She sung about finding inner strength
and seeking out love but. never
approaches the prevailing vengence of
the Alanis Morrisette school.

“I don’t consider myself a feminist, I
consider myself a humanist,” she said.
“I’m tired of the lines being drawn, I’m
tired of people being angry.” As was
the crowd judging by their warm
response of the solo Jewel who wasted
no time telling self-effacing stories

about her childhood and her time on
the road rather than playing the
generic aloof performer.

“Clever is a disease, it’s a Sue

“When you come from the heart it’s

If Jewel can remain as dedicated to
performing and remain void of rock

LETTERS TO THIE B DITOR

Million Man
March

To the Editor:

Are you against Black people uniting?
Do you oppose Black people putting aside
their differences for a greater good? Do
Black people have the right to demand
justice? Do you oppose Black people tak-
ing responsibility for our communities?
THEN WHY DO YOU OPPOSE THE
MILLION MAN MARCH??!! .

We support the Million Man March
because it has been founded upon princi-
ples: principles of freedom, justice, and
equality. The march allows black people
to come together in Unity. A unity that
transcends ideologies, personalities, and
individuals. This march is not a rally for
Muslims, Christians, Nationalists, or
Politicians, but of black people. We will
not allow artificial barriers to impede the
advancement of black people. During this
march, black people are rededicating
themselves to the need to take responsibil-
ity for ourselves, our families, our com-
munities, and our nation.

Black men are stepping forward to
declare our right to justice and our right to
self determination. Black men are step-
ping forward to honor black women for
the roles they have played in the forefront
of our struggle. Black men are stepping

women in relationships with other women
is a result of “emotional dependency,
rather than true love.” She concludes stat-
ing, one looking for “real love” should
“start by asking God.”

This advertisement was presented to us
in class Tuesday, October 10th. As our
professor read the page out loud, we
became disgusted. It was one of the most
offensive items we have seen in print.
Campus Crusade, in printing the adver-
tisement, is reinforcing the stereotypes
that lesbians: 1) all have been abused, and
are in search of healing, and 2) do not and

cannot experience real love. We would-

like to inform Campus Crusade, Every
Students Choice, and all other homopho-
bic persons that lesbians are not the
“defective” women they have been por-
trayed as. Homosexuality is not a disease
to be cured by Christians. In fact, lesbians
are living healthy, fulfilling lives in lov-
ing relationships.

The advertisement also seems to speak
for all Christians. May we remind you
that all Christians are not homophobic,
and all are not heterosexual. One’s pre-
sumption that all Christians fit into these
categories is of horrible offense.

- Lastly, we are not naive enough to
think that this advertisement was printed
without relation to National Coming Out
Day, October 11th. The final caption read
“There is another way out.” This quote
suggests that being a lesbian is detrimen-
tal rather than valuable. In reality, a les-
bian chooses to love other women, she

forward to tell the world that we - black
men, black women, and the black family-
are standing together once again: We are
unified! Therefore, October 16, 1995 has
been declared a National Day of Atone-
ment for all people of African ancestry.
We must take responsibility for the role
we have played in contributing to the
problems of our society and by doing so
challenge others to take responsibility for
the role they are playing in contributing to
the problems of our society. This is also a
day-of prayer. This is a day when we must
humble ourselves before our Creator in
remembrance of our ancestors who strug-
gled to bring us to the realization of the
principles which bind us together. This is
a day when we pledge to build a future for
our children. This march is motivated out
of love of ourselves, our people, and
humanity. This march is a contribution to
the forward progress of humanity!

How can someone oppose this march??
Who would dare to stand against these
principles? Who would dare allow the
personalities of individuals to mire such
an important historic occasion? Who
would count themselves an enemy to the
unification of black people for the express
purpose of pursuing freedom, justice, and
equality? Who would be so shortsighted,
so divisive, so ignorant, so hateful as to
oppose this? To attack this march is to
attack these principles and those who

stand for these principles.

Press Release/Statement of Purpose

No Way Out

To the Editor:
A woman sits, her hand convientily
placed beside her face to show her dia-

mond wedding ring. The caption above ©
her reads, “As a lesbian, I found hurt peo- .

ple just wanting someone to love. As a
Christian, I found loving people just
wanting to heal my hurt,” (Anne Paulk,
“former lesbian”). Underneath her picture
Anne describes her life: abused at four
years of age by a teenage boy, rejecting
men as a young woman, pursuing her
attraction for women, and discovering that

“As our professor read the page out loud, we
became disgusted. It was one of the most
offensive items we have seen in print.”

Trish Glover and Sandy Basset

does not need “another way out.”

The advertisement is a blatant misrepre-
sentation of both the lesbian, gay, bisexu-
al, and Christian communities. The ideas
are representative of anti-gay organiza-
tions that have chosen to forget those per-
sons who are both homosexual and Chris-
tian. Such advertising should not be toler-
ated, and these ignorant beliefs mustn’t go
unchallenged. In the spirit of National
Coming Out Day, we would like to let
homophobic persons know that gays, les-
bians, and bisexuals are everywhere, and
will continue to be true to themselves.

There is no other way OUT!
Trish Glover and

Sandy Bassett

An Open Letter

to the Media

To the Editor:

So, it’s all over now. That still doesn’t
change the fact that people all over the
nation are feeling the effects. Thanks to
you. That’s right, you. The media. From
the time you found out that this man was
arrested, you dealt us yet another racial
card. And you didn’t let up from start to
finish. This many blacks thought he was
innocent, this many whites thought he
was guilty. The verdict came and you
showed us blacks rejoicing, whites dis-
gusted. You showed all us blacks rejoic-
ing and all whites disgusted. You stereo-
typed us all and you played to America’s
lack of common sense. You could’ve
been responsible. You could’ve kept your
asses out of the courtroom. You could’ve
asked people what they thought instead of
dividing us. But, in America, you can
only be one of two colors, right? You
didn’t do this when William Kennedy
Smith was on trial. You didn’t do this
when three men from St. John’s Universi-
ty sexually attacked a black woman. Jef-
frey Dahmer killed and ate black people
and you never said anything. Why now?
(That’s a rhetorical question, by the way.
Unlike some others, I do have common

sense.) The other day, someone spray
painted “the nigger did it” on a wall. A
black woman had to clean that up. And to
top it all off, you’re not through yet:
“O.J.’s hero image is now obsolete.”
YOU’RE SICK, YOU KNOW THAT?
YOU’RE ALL REALLY FUCKING
SICK.

You’re not fooling me. Go ahead, take
a bow. You got the whole world to stop
spinning between 1| and 1:30 p.m. Eastern
standard time on Tuesday. And what’s
more, this was part of your plan all the
time. Every single corporate head of mass
media and journalism needs to be brought
up on charges for this, but nothing will
happen. Very good ladies and gentlemen.
You just helped in turning back the clock
on racial tolerance another twenty years.

Which reminds me: which familiar
black face can we expect to see in heavy

rotation next year?

SA Takes
Offense

To the Editor: =
In the Oct. 10 edition of the Alban
Student Press, you printed an advertise-
ment endorsed by Every Student’s
Choice, a Christian student group. The ad
depicts a close up of a woman, approxi-
mately in her early to mid 20’s, leaning
on her hand, displaying a wedding band
and an engagement ring, underneath a
smug smile..This photograph is accompa-
nied by a caption in bold print: “As a les-
bian, I found hurt people just wanting
someone to love. As a Christian, I found
loving people just wanting to heal my
hurt.” Below is a brief synopsis of this
woman’s “conversion” from lesbianism.
There is a 1-800 number listed below
which offers a free printed copy of the

rest of her story.
We, the Student Association representa-
tives of the student body, in accordance

with our Affirmative Action Policy and

Just Community Principals, find this ad
offensive. We are disappointed in the
ASP for the inconsistent application of
their own advertising policy, which clear-
ly states, “Editorial policy will not permit
ads to be printed that contain blatant pro-
fanity or those that are in poor taste.” We
resent the ad’s implications that lesbian-
ism is: 1) in any way inconsistent with the
basic message of Christianity, 2) a disease
or disorder of any kind, 3) in any way
results from abuse (sexual, emotional, or
otherwise), 4) can or needs to be absolved
or eliminated through Christianity.

This ad also suggests that women can-
not be happy, healthy, or have a purpose-
ful life outside of marriage or stereotypi-
cal gender roles.

We would appreciate if if in the future,
the ASP would demonstrate more careful
judgement and greater sensitivity to these
issues. This as is an embarrassment to our
University and its academic commitment

to social progress. We hope that you will

not repeat it.
Ashish Prabhakar

Stereotypical
Statements

To The Editor:

I am writing in response to the wonder-
ful “former lesbian” ad I saw this morning
in your paper. I must say I was quite
offended by the contents. What do I
mean? Well, to start off, the ad stated that
the woman had a “void in her heart”
because she was a lesbian, and that the
other lesbians “were paired together out
of emotional dependency rather than true
love.” What a crock!!! Also, she said that
God led her to “loving people who helped

me see the underlying needs that drove
(her) into a lesbian identity.” So, basically
does this mean that all lesbians are co-
dependents, steering people into the
wrong direction with their lives?

I recognize the freedom of speech,
which is a wonderful thing, but how dare
this ad be placed with such stereotypical
statements? ‘There is another way out’;
indeed! I myself am not a lesbian, but I
fully support gay/lesbian struggles in
being recognized by those of the straight
community. I thought the school paper
would be more liberal.

I guess I was wrong.

Anonymous

Race
Relations

To the Editor:

We’re sure that Robert Burke knew that
he would get a few angry responses to his
devisive remarks concerning race rela-

tions on this campus and especially on

Dutch Quad in particular. As a couple of
Dutch Quad residents and university stu-
dents, we have a few things we would like
to clue you in on. As for your criticism of ©
the EOP program, which gives hundreds
of economically and socially disadvan-
taged students a real chance to go out
after and participate in the American
dream. Although EOP is a program that
may be geared toward working class fam-
ilies, it will produce citizens who will
contribute positively to American society
as a whole. I guess that the writer believes
higher education should only be an elitist
privilege to be experienced by only those
whose families are in a higher income
bracket. We believe that education is the
backbone of the American experience and
economy. Everybody should have an

- equal shot at being a success.

As residents of Dutch Quad, we take
high offense at your calling our Quad a_
“Disgrace.” Although racial relations on
this campus and in this country could def-
initely be better, we must all face facts
that we don’t live in a perfect world. Why
does he specifically target Dutch Quad?
Yes, we realize that Dutch Quad has a
majority population of Asian-Americans,
African-American, and Hispanics, but
there is also a growing white population.
The situation on Dutch Quad cafeteria is
no different than that of any other Quad
except that there are more whites on State,
Colonial, and Indian. Does it bother him
that white students sit together or just that
ethnic students do? And as for him saying
that our cafeteria “seating chart” is based
on “skin color, ethnicity, and religion” is:
a major cause to race problems, why does
he not look at his own group, College
Republicans. As we recall, he is their
vice-president and an arch critic of affir-
mative action. We can speculate that he
wants to end all affirmative action pro-
grams on this campus and country. Does
he think that dining on Dutch Quad hurts
race relations nearly as much as ending
affirmative action would? If anyone really
wants to make racial relations unbearable,
role back 25 years of social and racial jus-
tice. And who says that students of differ-
ent social, economic, and ethnic back-
grounds don’t sit down together? Tell that
to the Caucasian from Long Island and
the Puerto Rican from Brooklyn who aré
writing this letter.

AN APOLOGY TO MY

GEOGRAPHY TEACHER
The weirdest thing in the world hap-
pened to me today. See, | have a
paper due on the Sedition Act of
1798 so | was up all night. | mean,
all night. | started on e paper at
around 10:30 pm at home and
around 4 am | went to Denny's with
my roommate. SO | was trying to
work on my paper there but this
nasty greasy waiter kept on hitting
on us, talking about the hair spray
he uses and asking if he could kiss
my roommate on the head, so the
paper was slow going. So around
seven in the morning we went back
to our room and then we watched
this great Japanese cartoon called
Gigantore. | was pretty damned

My sister came back from camp a
couple of years ago and, unbe-

ed something that was disgusting on
her feet. It wasn't like athletes foot
that it burns a little and you put
some cream on it. Oh no. She had
to go the doctor and had it frozen
over with liquid nitrogen and then he
had to scrape it off and it was so
gross. I'm nauseated just thinking
about it. That would be a good
insult, don't you think. Like, you're
so ugly that it looks like the doctor
froze your face and scraped it. Or it
would be even better if you put that
part about getting it in summer
camp. Anyway, so my sister came
back from camp and had these

gross. Gosh, I'm nauseated again. |

At the request of my friend,
Stephanie, I'm going to write a poem
about a bluer. For those of you who
don't know, it's like a highlighter for
pointing out mistakes but it doesn't
show up at the printers.

My True Love

| have a true love in my life.

He's tall

and points out all my errors

and lives in a drawer

and | had to-run to

the times union once to find

him and then | made a wrong turn
and | got lost in the back roads
of Albany which

is the worst because it's all

farm territory

so you can't make a three point
turn ‘cause you'll run some

cows over. So we made a left at
a road but we got even more lost.

Guess what all you ASP fans, it is
very late and we are almost done
with this issue. Our esteemed
Editor-in-Chief promised we could
go home when | finished this column

are gonna have to read all of my

babbling before this paper is done.
Anyway, | would like to take
Natalia's lead and apologize to all
those teachers who would rather |
show up a little more frequently.
But, with all the stuff happening on
campus, class seems so boring.
Did | tell everyone, my parents got
into a little fender bender. They are
O.K. but the 200 pound bear they hit
wasn't as lucky. So my mom felt
really bad. Especially because the
police officer told her she could take
the bear home and she refused.
Little did she know she could sell the
bear for $500. So, now the car is
bent up, the bear is dead and my
parents are out $500. That sucks. |
could have gone on a shopping
spree. | think we should have a
space of silence for the bear.

O.K. that is enough time. It was a
small bear. Anyway, my brother is
getting his license soon. He thinks, |
stress the word thinks he is getting
my car. But, now that my parents'
car has an imprint of a bear in it, he
isn't getting mine cause I'm not get-
ting theirs. Sucks to be my brother.
Oh, a funny thing happened the
other day. But, since it is too early
in the morning/ late at night, | don't
remember what happened or why it
was funny. Did | tell you that my
suitemate turned nineteen on thurs-
day. We were so proud of her. |
doen't know why we were proud of
her and | don't know why we bought
her presents instead of buying her
her mom presents, she had to give
birth to her, but, that's the way it
goes and | would be pretty pissed if
someone gave my mom a gift on my
birthday, especially cause she
wrecked the car | was supposed to
get. Yeah, | know we keep coming
back to the bear but haven't you
ever heard of a running joke.

IFC and Pan-Hel ban alcohol at events

(CPS)Alcoholic beverages at
social events held in Univer-
sity of Iowa fraternity houses
have been indefinitely banned
by the Interfraternity Council
and the Panhellenic Council.

In a Sept. 26 meeting,
members of the two councils,
along with the presidents of
the UI Greek organizations
voted for the ban while evalu-
ating alcohol policies, said
Beth Dinsmore, president of
the Panhellenic Council.

“I completely support this,”
Dinsmore said.

Members of the councils
had earlier met with UI Dean
of Students Philip Jones,
Dinsmore said, and decided
to consider the ban. The 50
Greek representatives at the
Sept. 26 meeting gave the
approval.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon Presi-
dent Todd Johnson said, “It’s
time to re-examine ourselves.
I think the Greeks are doing
the right thing by agreeing
with the (ban).

“We are campus leaders,”
Johnson added. “I think
together we can work it out.”

Interfraternity Council Pres-
ident Bob Kendall said the
meeting was a result of the
death of Lambda Chi Alpha
associate member Matthew
Garofalo, 19, who died as a
result of acute alcohol intoxi-
cation after attending a party
Sept. 7 at the Lambda Chi
house.

Garofalo’s death already
had prompted the Iowa State
Board of Regents to consider
banning alcohol from frater-
nity and sorority houses.

Kendall said, however, that |
the Interfraternity Council’s |

alcohol policies are “very
good” and the UI’s are among
the most progressive in the
nation. “Anything can be
improved,” he said.

Once fraternity members
are briefed by their presi-
dents, Kendall said they will
understand why the ban has
been put in place. Sororities
are not included in the ban
because national rules do not
allow alcohol in their houses.
Parties outside of fraternity
houses also are not included

“Tt’s not the start of a dry
campus,” Kendall said, “or
the demise of the Greek sys-
tem.”

Kirsten Roth, president of
Alpha Phi sorority, said she
supports the ban as a tool to
rethink policies.

“T think this is good,” Roth
said. “It gives us time to re-
evaluate our policies and see
how we need change the sys-
tem. It’s a good break.”

Roth said she doesn’t think
there will be a negative reac-
tion to the moratorium.

“T think people will be sup-
portive when they have the
information and understand
the situation,” she said. “The
[press releases] come out
today, and it will clarify the
situation.”

She said the Greek system
is not just about alcohol, so

the ban should not disrupt.

life.

“The base purpose is to
develop members and support
them,” Roth said. “Doing this
is a step for us in re-evaluat-

x,

ing the system.”

Roth said the Greek system
has been considering a move
like this since Garofalo’s
death.

“It’s not something that’s
come up suddenly,” she said.
“There’s a lot of evidence that
this should be done, and it’s
not something we’re taking
lightly. Serious things have
happened that we need to
address.”

She said the alcohol ban
will likely result in policy
changes.

“Our top priority is the

safety of our people,” Roth.

said. “I don’t know how that
will be translated into policy.”

UI is the second major uni-
versity to have its Greek sys-
tem ban alcohol this year. At
the University of Colorado
Boulder, the governing bodies
of CU’s 26 fraternities and
sororities voted to ban alco-
hol from all functions held in
chapter houses and to pro-
mote a “zero tolerance” poli-
cy against underage drinking
by members.

Graduate student
found murdered

(CPS)Oakland University graduate student
Tina Biggar began studying prostitutes and
AIDS as part of a volunteer project through
her university’s psychology department.

But the 23-year-old student’s effort didn’t
end with notebooks full of research. Instead,
police said Biggar became involved in a pros-
titution ring, which resulted in her murder.

Biggar’s body was found in late September
in Southfield, Michigan. Biggar, who had
been missing since Aug. 23, was beaten to
death, suffering major blows to the neck and
head.

Kenneth Tranchida, 42, who police said
confessed to killing Biggar, is being held for
second-degree murder.

Biggar began working on her project in
early August. By interviewing prostitutes,
Biggar was attempting to determine the
importance placed on sexual protection prac-
tices. Results of the test, which was funded by
the state’s Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, would then be used as a basis for
an information campaign on health safety.

Although she began her research by inter-
viewing prostitutes on the streets and in pris-
ons, police said Biggar soon joined an escort
service, where she met Tranchida.

resent the student association nor is it any
kind of a legitimate organization. The
USSA is totally inefficient, arrogant and
pompous,” continued Kauffman. Their
caucuses, which were created to hear the
voice of all students, are closed to various
groups and individuals. That’s discrimina-
tory and I won’t stand for it. We were not
aware of this gross discrimination that
regularly occurs under the auspuses of
USSA. I hate all forms of prejudice, big-
otry and discrimination. I’ve been an out-
sider for the better part of my life. I don’t
want to be made to feel that way again.
More importantly, I don’t want students to
have the same experiences I’ve endured.”

Kauffman said he felt pressured by USSA
to “fulfill a quota” and he would not pay
the USSA fee, $9300.

However, Kauffman said he was sup-
portive of SASU because they were “not
as arrogant.”

Anne Thomas, a USSA and SASU dele-
gate and Central Council member who has
been fighting to renew the contract with
USSA said, “Hold your President
accountable for inadequately representing
you. Our President is using his Presiden-
tial priveleges to pass his own personal
agenda, which involves disregarding stu-
dents’ wants and needs.”

Kauffman said, “People behind the
USSA are trying to separate an already
disunited student body and I will not toler-
ate this from anyone.”

Overachievers more likely to cheat

University of Texas seniors are three
times more likely to commit academic
dishonesty than freshmen, and_ students
with high grade point averages are. caught
cheating more often than students with
low GPAs, according to a report.

According to the study, entitled “Statis-
tical Report of Disciplinary Cases 1993-
1994,” seniors accounted for 38 percent of
UT students’ academic violations while
making up 32 percent of the student body.
Juniors came in second, accounting for 28
percent of violations, though they made
up only 15 percent of the student body.

“According to all national studies [aca-
demic dishonesty] is pretty widespread,”
said Kevin Price, assistant dean for judi-
cial services in the Office of Dean Stu-
dents. He added that at the University, “70
percent of students admit some form of
academic dishonesty.”

The report also states that students with
GPA from 3.00 to 3.99 account for 43.10
percent of academic violations, followed
closely by students with GPAs from 2.00
to 2.99, who account for 38.79 percent.
Those with under a 2.00 GPA accounted
for only 9/48 percent of violations. Stu-
dents with a 4.00 GPA totaled 3.45 per-
cent of the violations.

First-semester students accounted for
5.17 percent of all academic violations.

all student disciplinary referrals, released
the report last year.

Price said that academic dishonesty
accusations made up 20 percent of their
775 cases during the 1994-95 school year.
That is compared to 116 cases during the
1993-94 school year.

The student said that his technique is to
write cheat notes on a pair of pants and
wear a long shirt out and over them.

Other students said aside from the occa-

- sional glance at a fellow student’s test,

they rarely cheat.

Brian Gomez, a psychology junior, said
while he does not cheat, he has seen oth-
ers use their feet and their brains to get the
deed done.

“One student had [the cheat sheet] taped
to the bottom of his shoe,” Gomez said.

Academic dishonesty is punishable by a
variety of penalties, depending on the
severity of the infraction, Price said.
Penalties range from the student’s having
to retake the test or assignment in question
to suspension from the university.

Gender, race and nationality also played
a role in academic dishonesty, according
to the study.

Cases involving male students occurred
with more than three times the frequency
of female student cases, according to the
report.

Women’s soccer struggling in first NECC season

By THomas MCMAHON
Sports Editor

The Albany women’s soccer
team started the season hovering
around the .500 mark, which
wasn’t bad considering this was
their first season competing at
the Division II level. Lately
though, they have found out why
colleges are divided into differ-
ent divisions. Since a 2-2 start,
the Lady Danes have dropped
five of their last seven games by
a combined score of 28-6.

The losing began with a trip to
Sacred Heart. Albany lost their
first ever New England Colle-
giate Conference game by a
score of 2-1. The lose dropped
the Lady Danes to 2-3 overall.

Back on September 20,
Albany traveled to New Paltz. for
a non-conference game. The
Lady Danes jumped out to a 1-0
lead when Debra Keiser headed
in Jen Barry’s crossing pass at
the 11:00 mark of the first half.
New Paltz got the equalizer four
minutes into the second half
when Kathy Murphy scored on a
breakaway. The two teams were
able to shut down each other for
the remainder of regulation.
Seven minutes into overtime
sophomore Chris Tokarz scored
and gave Albany the 2-1 win.
Kristen Galu finished with three
saves in net for the Lady Danes
as they improved their record to

3-3.

Next Albany traveled to New
Hampshire College on Septem-
ber 23 for their second NECC
contest. New Hampshire (6-1,
NECC 1-0) opened the scoring
at 24:34 in the first half, when
Sara Karlsson sent a 15-yard
shot into the net off a lead pass
from Anna Wallin. This turned
out to be all New Hampshire
would need. They added another
first half goal and two second
half goals from Heather
Swabowicz to go onto the 4-0
win. The loss kept Albany win-
less in the NECC and put them
under the .500 mark once again.

The Lady Danes then hosted
their first ever NECC game
against Keene State on Septem-
ber 27. Albany was out of this
one early as Keene State scored
four first half goals including
three in the first 15:16 of the
game. The Owls added three sec-
ond half goals and won the game
7-1. The lone Albany goal came
when Barry booted a corner kick
off the hands of the Owl’s goal-
keeper at 55:08 to pull Albany to
within four. Galu made a career
high 15 saves in the losing effort
for Albany as they dropped to

3-5 overall and 0-3 in the |

NECC.

It got even harder for Albany
as they hosted Frankin Pierce,
the number one ranked team in
the National Collegiate Athletic

Association Division II poll.
Franklin Pierce (9-0, NECC 2-0)
put the game away early with
four goals in the first seven min-
utes. Franklin Pierce finished the
first half with six goals and
added four more in the second
half for the 10-0 win. Albany
could not muster a shot while
Franklin Pierce racked up 30 of

them. Galu tied her career high
with 15 saves, but the Lady
Danes dropped to 3-6 overall
and 0—4 in the NECC.

Albany went back on the road

‘to face North Adams State on

October 2. In the non-—confer-
ence game Barry broke a score-
less tie just 54 seconds into the
second half to give the Lady

Danes a 1-0 win. Barry lofted a
direct kick over the head of the
North Adams State goalkeeper
from 35 yards away to break
Albany’s three game losing
streak. Galu earned her second
shutout of the season in the Lady
Danes net stopping four shots.
This time it was Albany with the
large shot advantage, 27-10.

Last Saturday the Lady Danes
traveled to C.W. Post for another
non-conference game. In a tight
battle, Galu stopped nine shots,
but it wasn’t enough. C.W. Post
came away witli a 1-0 win and
outshot Albany 20-18.

This past Wednesday Albany
continued their NECC schedule
with a game at LeMoyne. Amy
Preece scored 29 seconds into
the game to put Albany up 1-0
early, but Sheila Doyle scored
two first half goals to give
LeMoyne a 2-1 halftime advan-
tage. LeMoyre (4-8, NECC
2-3) added a second half goal
and went onto the 3-1 win. The
Lady Danes were outshot in the
contest 31—5, and fell to 4-8
overall and 0-5 in the NECC.

Even though the Lady Danes
have struggled, it was expected
in this their inaugural season at
the Division II level. They have
shown signs of good play even
against very tough NECC oppo-
nents. Albany continues their
tough NECC schedule at Bridge-
port this Saturday.

River Rats defeat Bears in season opener, 6-1

Albany raises AHL championship banner in ceremony before game

By JARED TROPP AND DONALD MILLER

Staff Writers

The American Hockey League Champi-
on Albany River Rats took the ice for
their first game of the 1995-1996 season
this past Saturday night at Knickerbocker
Arena. They opened up against the
Philadelphia Flyers minor league team,
the Hershey Bears.

Before the gaine the River Rats held a
30 minute ceremony honoring last year’s
Calder Cup winning team. The 8,091 fans
in attendance were treated to a momen-
tous sight when the Calder Cup was slow-
ly lowered from the scoreboard. Once the
cup reached ice level, some very impor-
tant speakers addressed both the Rats and
their fans. Among these speakers were:

The president of the AHL, David

Andrews; River Rats Chairman of the
Board, Albert Lawrence; and Albany
Mayor, Gerry Jennings. After the speakers
finished, it was time to raise the banners.
As Queen’s “We are the Champions”
blared in the background, the fans
watched in awe as the bright red champi-
onship banner slowly ascended to the
rafters. Once it reached the ceiling, two

banners, one proclaiming the Rats as the

Northern Division Champs, and the other
saying the Rats were the 1994-1995 Reg-
ular Season Champs, joined it.The cere-
mony ended with an explosive cheer from
proud fans.

Putting all their emotions aside, Albany
prepared for the start of the game. New-
comer Patrik Elias, the New Jersey Devils
1994 second round draft choice, found the
net for his first career goal at 10:17 of the
first period. This was-also Albany’s first
goal of the new season. Just 47 seconds
later, while on the power play, River Rats
Center Pascal Rheaume scored when he
converted on a rebound in front of the net.
C Steve Sullivan took a slap at the puck,
Little made the initial save, but the
rebound went right to Rheaume. Albany
led 2-0 after one period.

In the second period, the Rats went up
3-0 when Elias banged in a beautiful pass
from LW Scott Pellerin. Hershey tallied
their first goal of the game off a deflected

Volleyball

shot, at 8:30 of the second period. It was
deflected over Rats goalie Mike Dun-
ham’s shoulder by Hershey LW Yanick
Dupre. The score was 3-1 after two peri-
ods of play.

In the third period, defenseman Chris
McAlpine beat Little with a high shot
through a screen to give Albany a com-
manding 4—1 lead. Steve Brule and rookie
Eric Bertrand also found the net near the
end of the period, as the Rats cruised to an
impressive 6—1 win.

On Sunday, Albany traveled to Glens —
Falls to play the Adirondack Red Wings.
Albany was sent home with a resounding
5-1 defeat. Ex-New York Islander David
Chyzowski scored a hat trick, as Dunham
was bombarded by numerous Red Wing
shots.

On Wednesday, Albany went into Corn-
wall to face the Aces. LW Vadim Sharifi-
Janov, New Jersey’s first selection in the
1994 draft, led the way with a goal and an
assist in the Rats’ 6-2 thrashing of Corn-
wall. The River Rats scored five times in
the first ten minutes of the second period
to establish control of the game. Dunham
made 26 saves for the first road win of the
season. :

The River Rats will be seeking revenge
when Adirondack comes to town this Sat-
urday. On Wednesday, Albany will again -

. travel to Cornwall to play the Aces.
