Mandatory intercollegiate fee is probable

By Kevin Sonsky
STAFF WRITER

Central Council met in a
special session Wednesday night
to discuss the establishment of a
mandatory _ intercollegiate
athletic fee as proposed by Dr.
Bill Moore, director of athletics
at SUNYA, and Dr. Mitchel
Livingston, vice president for
student affairs.

“We would like to re-establish
the process of consultation to ask
campus constituent groups to
support a mandatory athletic
fee,”Livingston said, handing
out an informal fact sheet with

cost estimates.

Presently, athletics are
supported as part of the Student
Association budget funded from
the mandatory student activity
fee of $120 per year, with
approximately $33.50 per
student going to athletics.

“The present system does not
provide the continuity factor
every year,” said Livingston. He
said with the uncertainty of
funding from year to year, many
competitions and activities
planned years in advance are
being cancelled.

“We run at a $70,000 budget

Lewis wants to know where the students’ voice fits in.

deficit with our current system,
so it forces us to cut various
areas such as coaching and away
programs. This new system
would help us get rid of this. Our
primary purpose is to fund a
currently running program.”

According to Moore, many
four-year schools have adopted a
separate mandatory athletic fee,
naming Binghamton, Geneseo,
Cortland, and the University at
Buffalo as a few.

“We would like to enrich our
program, enter into higher
conferences, and travel further
away,” Moore said. He also
stressed the importance of
moving women’s track up to the
level of men’s to give them the
same opportunities.

According: to the preliminary
handout, the fee is estimated at
$20 to $25 per semester for a
full-time student. It is fundable
by financial aid for those
eligible, and in effect would
reduce some of the activity fee.

With equipment, supplies,
travel expenses, officials and
other costs increasing every year,
the need for funds is surpassing
the student activity fee.
According to the handout, a
mandatory athletic fee would

ind Livingston express their wish for the new fee.

provide for the increases.

Livingston explained a
referendum would be part of the
extensive consultation process.
The referendum to get students’
support and opinions would
include an article in the ASP, a
call-in show on WCDB, open
meetings on the residence
quadrangles, a telephone survey,
a write-in form printed in the
ASP, and feedback offered at
open meetings.

The ultimate decision to
implement the fee falls in the
hands of Chancellor D. Bruce
Johnstone.

Central Council member
Vence Lewis asked what power

student opinion really had if the
decision of the Chancellor was
final.

Livingston responded saying
although Chancellor Johnstone
has the deciding power, “It is
imperative to get student support
as well.”

Livingston urged the Council
to seriously consider the positive
consequences of such a fee. “We
should not be an
embarrassment,” he said.

“We are a major university
center, and we should aspire to
excellence without our athletes
going out, cup in hand, trying to
get money for a budget.”

Chinese— Americans feel the sting of racism on campus

By Janie Ja-Eu Kim
STAFF WRITER

On November 20 , a suite of
four Chinese-American women
in Herkimer on Colonial Quad
Teceived an answering machine
Message assaulting their
ethnicity.

A female voice mimicking a
“Chinese” accent said, “I order
Chinese food but it did not
come. Send the chicken and
brocoli right away.” Background
laughter, noises resembling
flatulence, and gibberish
mimicking Chinese dialects
Were also recorded.

The four women claim the
Message was left by a member
of the six-women suite next
door. they base this on a
semester-long history of tension
between the two suites which
they say stemmed from one of
the Chinese women having
lodged a noise complaint against
her neighbors in early October.

They cite this as prompting
their neighbors to retaliate
throughout the semester with

periodic incidents of wall-
banging accompianed by prank
telephone calls.

They now believe the
harassment was motivated by
not only simple animosity
between suites, but by racism, as
was expressed in the answering
machine message. The women
say perceptions of Asians as
complacent and non-threatening
make them  particuarly
vulnerable to aggression.

“We are Chinese, and this
makes some people think they
can do anything to us and that
they’re going to get away with
it,’one woman said.

“When people judge me by
my skin color, it makes me
angry. I did nothing wrong. Do
they feel like they’re superior?
Why are they doing this to us? I
think they’re malicious and
spiteful,”she said,

On November 21, 2:30 a.m.,
one of the Chinese women
knocked on her neighbors’ suite
door to confront them about, “a
loud banging on the wall that

shook the room.” No one
answered, but “I heard laughing
and voices behind the door,” she
said. She then called the RA’s on
duty who responded to the
situation. They spoke to two of
the six women in the suite
accused of harrassment.

The women, who are white,
denied banging on the walls or
harassing the Chinese women in
any way. One said she’d been
asleep, while the other said she
had been on telephone with her
boyfriend all night.

The one who said she had
been asleep said, “It’s
conceivable my knee may have
banged on the wall accidentally
in my sleep, but that was it. As
far as calling them, people get
pranked all the time. We’re in
college; it’s expected. Even I get
pranked.”

When asked if she had even
pranked her neighbors, she said,

e“What do you think? I’m twenty
years old. I’m a college student.
T’ve got better things to do.”

Her suitemate said, “I feel

terrible that they think we’re
prejudiced. But the bottom line
is that we don’t even know
them. This suite is not racist at
all. We all come from different
ethnicities. I don’t think that
accusations without solid proof
are fair at all”.

Another suitémate called the
Chinese women, “a little
paranoid.”

The Chinese women feel they
get no support from the
university. “They ignore us,”
said one woman.

Betty Chung, residence
director of Alden Hall on
Alumni Quad and coordinator of
Asian-American Awareness
Week (December 1-7) said this
is a common feeling among
students of Asian decent at this
university.

“We are the largest minority
group on campus, yet we are the
least visible collectively, and a
Jot of our needs are not met,”she
said.

There are a lack of role
models, lack of faculty, and lack

of mentors that Asian-American
students can aspire to.

Chung underlined the
importance of Asian-American
Awareness Week, in giving
Asians a voice on this campus
for the first time. “The feedback
I got from a lot of students was
how happy they were that there
was some sort of week they
could affirm themselves as
Asians; that they could say to
the campus, “This is our culture;
this is what we are. Take us
seriously,” she said.

Woody Freese, residence
director of Herkimer Hall, said
he appproached the Chinese
women about scheduling an
appointment with him this
following week to discuss their
situation, but they declined.

“T’m willing to meet them half
way, but I can’t help them if they
don’t make their own effort,” he
said.
The women explained their
commitments during finals week
gave them no time to meet with
Freese.

Yeltsin wants unity

Moscow, Russia
(AP) Boris N. Yeltsin yesterday sought
the approval of Russia’s legislature for his
new commonwealth, which he said was
gaining support because of the Soviet
Union’s “uncontrolled anarchic
disintegration.”

The Russian president said he and
Mikhail S. Gorbachev agreed at « meeting
Wednesday to keep the “currently
working structures” of the central
government functioning until a majority
of the republics join the commonwealth.

In a speech to Russian lawmakers,
Yeltsin said Armenia, Kirgizia and
Moldavia have expressed interest in
joining the new political entity forged by
Russia, Byelorussia and Ukraine on
Sunday.

He also said he believed Kazakhstan -
the second-largest Soviet republic after
Russia - would become a full member.

Yeltsin said the creation of the
commonwealth was made necessary
because President Gorbachev’s Jnion
Treaty, which would have maintained
stronger Kremlin control, was rejected by
most of the 12 Soviet republics.

Fighting Continues

fighiing flared anew today in the central
region of the republic.

The reported Serbian losses put more
pressure on Serbia’s president, Slobodan
Milosevic, whose popularity had plunged
in the past month.

Radical deputies in Serbia’s Parliament
demanded an urgent session to discuss the
military situation. The Serb-dominated
federal presidency ordered military
service indefinitely extended for all

said.

Smith is acquitted

West Palm Beach, Fla.
(AP) There was no question that William
Kennedy Smith and his accuser had sex at
the Kennedy estate last Easter weekend.
The only question was consent.

Did the woman say yes or no? Perhaps
no one will ever know. During an often
lurid 10-day trial , the jury that acquitted
Smith of rape was offered two stories so
confusing that reasonable doubt was the
only sure thing.

Witnesses offered different timetables
for events, with weekend guests coming
and going from the Kennedy family’s
seaside estate in Palm Beach.

Some depicted the mansion as a haven
for insomniacs including Sen. Edward
Kennedy, D-Mass., whose son Patrick
recalled him wandering around the
grounds in his nightshirt in the wee hours
while a woman was threatening to call the

police on cousin Willie in another part of
the house.The recorded interviews gave
the defense ample evidence with which to

Washington
(AP) Israeli and Syrian negotiators
remain deadlocked on the issue of trading
land for peace, while a Palestinian official
said today his delegation is “slowly
inching” toward agreement with Israelis
on how to formally begin their sessions.

Syrian and Israeli negotiators met
again on the lands-for-peace problem
yesterday, the third day of talks. The
heads of the Israeli and Jordanian-
Palestinian delegations exchanged new
proposals as they resumed meeting on a
couch in a State Department corridor.

The Palestinians are seeking talks
separate from the Jordanians as part of a
campaign to assert independence.

The Arab parties want the United States
to intervene and resolve the conflict over
Palestinian representation. State
Department spokeswoman Margaret
Tutwiler said Wednesday that U.S.
officials are not participating in the
corridor talks, but “the U.S. has had some
suggestions.”

Israeli and Jordanian-Palestinian
delegates exchanged a series of proposals
aimed at breaking the hallway impasse
over the format of their formal
negotiations. One Palestinian official
close to the delegation said there was

small progress.

Criminals Profit

New York
(AP) Lawmakers and victims’ advocates
were dismayed by a U.S. Supreme Court
decision striking down a New York law
that compensates victims by seizing
profits criminals make by describing their
crimes.

By an 8-0 vote, the court said Tuesday
the state’s so-called “Son of Sam” law
violates constitutionally guaranteed
freedom of expression by singling out
criminals proceeds from books, movies
and other published works.

“T think this is a blow to victims’
rights,” said Barbara Leak, chairwoman of
the state Crime Victims’ Board. “We need
to be able to say you can’t get profits
from being a wrongdoer.”

New York officials have used the law to
seize profits from Jean Harris the
convicted killer of “Scarsdale Diet” Dr.
Herman Tarnower, Mark David Chapman,
convicted of killing John Lennon; and R.
Foster Winans, a former Wall Street
Journal reporter convicted of insider
trading.

Kids know 'Camels'

New York
(AP) Studies showed 6-year-olds are as
familiar with a Camel cigarette cartoon
character as they are with Mickey Mouse,
strongly suggesting that advertising
causes children to smoke, researchers said
wday.

In a series of studies published in the
Journal of the American Medical
Association, researchers found that the
Camel cartoon character, known as old
Joe or the “smooth character,” is widely
recognized by children of all ages.

That recognition has led to a sharp rise
in the number of teenagers smoking
Camel cigarettes, they said.

Cigarette makers deny they are
targeting children and say that brand
recognition doesn’t mean children are
buying cigarettes. But the studies show
Camels are smoked by a higher
percentage of children who smoke than of
adults, researchers said Tuesday.

In response to the studies, the American
Heart Association, the American Cancer
Society and the American Lung
Association petitioned the Federal Trade

Campaign started to raise funds for SUNYA

By Joe Faughan
STAFF WRITER

University at Albany President
H. Patrick Swygert announced a
major University funding
program in which University
officials hope to raise $55
million by the turn of the
century.

According to Swygert, the
program, entitled the “Campaign
for Albany,” will “express our
appreciation to the taxpayers,
legislators and governor of New
York.” It will also provide the
money necessary for expanding
SUNYA’s reputation as a leading
academic and research
institution.

The campaign calls for
corporate and private donations
as large as $3.5 million. These
funds will go to various areas
including building funds, a
multicultural center, new
fellowships and various campus
institutions.

The extra money spent by the
University will benefit the
Capital Region’s economy,
providing more than $4 billion in
business, industry and tourist

dollars.

“This is not a reaction to state
budget cuts,” Swygert said.
“There are some things the state
cannot provide in the best of

and George
Randolph Hearst Ill, publisher of Key Bank of New York and a

director of Capital Newspapers.

This funding program, the first
of its kind in SUNYA’s history,
will raise funds in two phases.

The first phase is scheduled to
raise $25 million by the year
1994, Albany’s sesquicentennial.
The second phase has a target of
$55 million and will end by the
year 2000.

Donations are being sought
from both private and corporate
sources. Some donors will have
the opportunity to name a
structure or program, if they
provide a larger sum. The cost of
“naming” is $3 million for the
Recreation and Convocation
Center and the University’s
uptown library. To name a
classroom, it will cost $25,000.

According to Swygert, $11

already been filled.

SUNYA’s University Auxiliary Services is nearing their
annual search for University groups who seek extra funding for
their scheduled events.

According to Norb Zahm, general manager of UAS, they
begin their applicant drive in February when they contact all
groups in the Student Association and the Faculty Senate, as
well as placing an ad in the ASP. appealing to any groups who
would like to receive funding from UAS’ programming line for
planned events.

The programming funds are made up of the profits UAS
draws in from any merchandise which they sell. Such
merchandise includes food, books or other items sold from
vending machines. According to Zahm, UAS gathers
approximately $18 million from sales. This figure is subject to
fluctuations on a year-to-year basis, but the figure is based upon
recent years.

Of this $18 million, UAS receives a one pec to two

WCDB management denies Hart’s
charges. The station source said
enforcement of the article came at the
urging of the office of Campus Life and
the Student Association, because both
offices wanted to have only mandatory
activity fee-paying students working at
the station. They also wanted to give more
students the chance at good time-slots.
Representatives from Campus Life and

“There were a couple of instances of
people screwing up with the equipment,
but they were not more heavily punished

was called by the chief engineer and the
executive board.”

Contemporary Soule has also
complained WCDB’s spending policies
are “unfair.” At issue here is
Contemporary Soule’s request for at least
one pitch-control turntable, which costs
“several thousand dollars and has been
discontinued,” the station source said.

When Contemporary Soule requested
management purchase a cheaper model,
again the department's request was turned
down. The source said the cheaper model
“breaks down too much for the station to
approve spending money on it.”

A few tips to secure your
house before winter recess

By Melissa Cooper
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

In less than two weeks, the
majority of SUNYA students
will be leaving to go home for
winter vacation. There are
several precautions students
should take to secure their
apartments and houses during
this period of inoccupancy.

One step for security is to
make sure all doors and
windows are locked. Anyone
concerned about how sturdy
their locks are, can have them
checked out by the Albany
Police Department, who can be
contacted at 462-8033.

Students should cancel or put
a hold on all newspapers and
mail deliveries. A stack of
newspapers and over-abundance
of mail is the first tip to a burglar
that a house is vacant, said
Thomas Gebhardt, director of
off-campus housing. “Another
option is to have a neighbor
collect it for you,” Gebhardt
said.

Using timers for lights and
radios is a good way to deter
burglars, according to Lieutenant
Robert Wolfgang of the Albany
Police Department. A radio or
light can provide “that element
of doubt. This may be enough to
make someone go on to another
place if they’re looking for a cite
to burglarized,” he said.

Wolfgang also suggested
students ask their neighbors or
landlords to keep an eye on their
home.

“If students notify the Albany

Police that they’re leaving, then
officers will make an effort to
give that area attention,” he
added.

Gebhardt discussed Operation
LD., a free program which offers
students a chance to have
identification numbers engraved
on all their articles. This system
provides a method to trace any
stolen items in case of a

burglary. To find out more
information, students should
contact the Albany Police.
Insurance was another idea
Gebhardt stressed. Students can
find out more about this at the
Off-Campus Housing Office.

Awareness Day held in February.

Phi Beta Kappa, a national honor
society established on the SUNYA
campus in 1973, honored 75 students on
Monday.

“This national honor society is the
oldest in the country,” said Warder
Cadbury, the secretary of the chapter. “Phi
Beta Kappa stands for the idea of a liberal
education,” Cadbury said.

Not only must a student have a high

cumulative average, but they must also
have a program of studies that is
comprehensive,”Cadbury added.
Comprehensive means courses in social
and natural science, humanities, foreign
language and mathematics.

“Phi Beta Kappa supports the theory of
education,”Cadbury said,”that education
should be a wide one, instead of
vocationalization, where a person takes
specific courses in order to get a job.”

“Phi Beta Kappa is an old-fashioned
view of education,”Cadbury said.

‘The honor society has two invitations a
year with approximately 60 students
inducted at each ceremony. The students
are chosen by a committee of faculty and
staff members who were themselves Phi

Beta Kappa.

“I feel part of a proud tradition
extending from 1776 to the present day. I
was also quite impressed with the groovy
handshake,” said Jim Golden, a second
semester senior honored at the ceremony.

The Phi Beta Kappa Society main

headquarters are in Washington D.C. and
SUNYA’s branch is independent of the
university. Cadbury said in affiliation
with the office in Washington,
distinguished people are sent to visit the
department of the University.

“Phi Beta Kappa is a long tradition in
higher education,” said Richard Alba, the
chapter historian. “Even long after

graduation, people remain affiliated”.

Washington, D.C.
(AP) A dissatisfied voter who
says he has a right to pencil in
ithe candidate of his choice for
ipublic office was granted a
hearing by the Supreme Court
lon Monday.

The justices said they will use
la case from Hawaii to decide
whether states may ban write-in
voting in elections. A ruling is
expected by July.

Hawaii’s ban on write-in
voting is being challenged by
‘Alan Burdick, a Honolulu
lawyer who said the rights of
voters are violated when they are
forced to choose only between
listed candidates. In other action,
ithe court:

* Agreed in a North Carolina
case to decide whether federal
judges may reduce the sentences
lof convicted criminals who
cooperate in prosecuting others.

* Refused to consider giving
lawyers greater leeway to
criticize judges. The court let
stand disciplinary actions in
iNew York and Missouri against
elected prosecutors who contend
their free-speech rights were
violated.

* Refused to free
iMassachusetts from paying
interest on a damage award won
by a state trooper who sued after
lhe was suspended from his job
for joining the Army Reserves.
In the voting case, Burdick
said Hawaii’s write-in infringes
ion constitutionally protected
rights of free expression and
association.

He sought to write in
candidates of his choosing in a
1986 statewide election, saying
mone of those listed on the ballot
represented his views on key
issues.

Supreme Court will hear
case of unhappy voter

State officials told him his|
ballot would not be counted if he|
wrote in any names,

The Hawaii officials said|
banning write-ins guards against|
“sore loser” candidates rejected
in a party primary soliciting
support as independents in the
general election. The officials|
said the ban also is a shield|
against crossover voting in
primary elections, in which]
voters of one major party try to}
undermine the chances of a
candidate running in the primary!
of the opposing party.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals ruled last June that}
Burdick’s rights were not|
violated.

“Although Burdick is
guaranteed an equal voice in the}
election of those who govern,}
Burdick does not have an
unlimited right to vote for any}
particular candidate,” the
appeals court said.

The appeals court also said|
that Hawaii’s election laws
generally provide easy access to}
the ballot for minor party
candidates. It noted that only 25)
signatures from eligible voters}
are needed to get listed on the
primary ballot for state or
national office.

A group of political activists
that urged the Supreme Court to
hear Burdick’s appeal told the}
justices the appeals court}
improperly characterized the}
state’s ballot-access provisions.

The group acknowledged that)
it takes a relative handful off
signatures to be listed on a]
primary ballot. The activists
said, an independent candidate}
seeking to be listed on a general
election ballot needs the support}
of 10 percent of registered voters|
who did not vote in the primary.

Holocaust ads

New York

(CPS) The Anti-Defamation
League has called on college
newspapers across the country to
Teject publication of an ad “that
denies the reality of the
Holocaust.”

“No college newspaper should
Tun these blatantly false ads,”
ADL National Director Abraham
Foxman said in a news release.
“Newspapers have the
tight to accept or reject
any advertisement that
they deem distasteful or
bigoted. Advertisements
that deny the Holocaust
Tepresent the worst kind
of anti-Semitism.”

ATTENTION

are challenged

At least four college
newspapers have run the ad
since last spring. The University
of Texas newpaper’s board
recently said it will require the
Daily Texan to print the ad.

The ad, which questions
whether the Holocaust took
place, is sponsored by the
California-based Committee for
Open Debate on the Holocaust.

Possible use of human head in exhibit offends Chicago

By Paula Mathieu
(CPS) A grisly display has
» students at the University of
Illinois at Chicago wondering
whether the head of a human
cadaver was displayed at an
undergraduate art gallery under
the title, “King of Vermin.”
Campus police are
investigating reports that an
unidentified student obtained the
head from a medical school.
Several students reported
seeing the exhibit, which was
displayed only for one day.

if I saw him,” he said.

Jason Wietlispach,
undergraduate in art and
organizer of the GBU gallery,
said something resembling a
human head wrapped in plastic
wrap was displayed in the GBU
gallery’s show which opened
Oct. 15. He would neither
confirm nor deny it being a
human cadaver. He also refused
to release the identity of the
student who created the exhibit.

Another art student, George
Ireland, saw the exhibit in the

gallery, said the student claimed
that he got the head from the
medical school.

According to Allen, the
unidentified student was
answering questions from people
who had gathered around the
exhibit. He said that a few
students were offering money for
what the unidentified student
claimed to be a human head
stolen from an unlocked medical
refrigerator on campus.

Broderick reports that the
student boasted, “He donated his

body for science, and I am using
it for art.”

Miriam Zayed, assistant to the
head of the medical school’s
Department of Anatomy, said no
human cadaver parts were
reported missing. She added that
cadavers were kept by the
undergraduate biology
department, which was
unavailable for comment,

A medical student, who
wished to remain anonymous,
said that he believed human
cadaver parts could be removed

“Tt was something that looked

It was wrapped in several layers
of Saran Wrap. It was leaning to
the side like it was plopped
down, on a plate of lettuce with
grapes as a garnish,” said Sheila
Broderick, freshman art student
in medical illustration.

Broderick said that incisions
were visible on the head as if it
had been dissected to some
degree.

According to Scott Allen, a
junior in art and design, the
student responsible for the
exhibit was in the art gallery and
had bragged that hz had acquired
the head of a human cadaver
from the university.

“TI thought he was kidding
until I looked at it closer,” Allen
said. “If it wasn’t real, I'd be

Although Allen admits not
knowing the name of the student

(CPS) State funding for higher
education recorded its first
decline in 33 years, and experts
say the trend will most likely
continue,

In the preliminary report of its
annual survey of state
government appropriations for
higher education, the Center for
Higher Education at Illinois
State University reported that
spending for the 1991-92 school
year feel a total of $46.5 million
Inai‘onally.

Still, the survey reported that
almost $40 billion was spent on
higher education in 1991-92.
Geographic areas hardest hit
lwere New England and the
‘Southeast.

In an evaluation of what the
survey’s statistics showed, CHE
director Edward Hines wrote that
‘substantial increases in state

in question, “I would know him

higher education may be a thing
of the past.”

The survey found that:

* The Southeast was hardest
hit, Only Kentucky and West
Virginia reported increases in
state funding, up 23 and 10
percent respectively,

+ In New England, four of the
six states showed declines, most
probably Massachusetts, with the
nation’s largest decrease of 28
percent.

* The West showed no
declines, but mostly modest
gains. Nevada headed these
states and all others with a 31
percent increase in state funding.
Northwest states also showed
increases, most notably Idaho
(24 percent) and Montana (21
percent).

* In a group called the
“megastates” for their large

populations, large higher
educational systems, and state!
appropriations of more than $1
billion, findings were mixed. Of|
the 12 megastates, only four
reported a gain in funding -
Texas (9 percent), New Jersey (7
percent), Pennsylvania (6)
percent) and Michigan (4|
percent).

Illinois reported no loss or|
gain in funding. The seven|
Temaining states reported losses -
New York (-11 percent), Florida|
and Virginia (-4 percent), North|
Carolina (-3 percent), California|
(-2 percent) and Ohio (-1
percent).

Because of the overall decline|
in state funding, Hines said
schools will need to search for]
altemative funding methods.

from the medical school without
difficulty.

Under Illinois statutes,
mutilation of a person as part of
a performance or practice is a
felony. The statute is silent as to
whether a dissected human body
would be considered a person.
Also, according to the state
criminal code, “any person who
offers to buy or sell a human
body or any part of a human
body is guilty of a Class A
misdemeanor.”

Think

Was This Rape? Students Tell Us What They

We
a

Have you ever wondered
if the men on campus have
a different definition of
rape than the woman?
What consititutes rape and
what doesn’t?

After hearing the
following case scenarios,
three men and three
women were asked if what
had happened was rape.
The results are both
interested and thought
provocative. What do you
think?

CASE 1.

Lisa and Matt have been
going for three months
without having sex. Matt
tells Lisa that he'll break
up with her if she doesn’t
have sex with him and that
it's unnatural for them not
to. Out of intense fear of
losing him, they end up
having sexual intercourse.
Was this rape?

Male A: “No way. She
willingly participated in the
sexual act. Although she
was coerced, she wasn’t
forced into it. She had a
choice.”

Male B: “Well, it may not
be rape by law but it’s not
a moral way for a guy to
have sex with his
girlfriend. It’s a pretty
scummy way to act.”

Male C: “I think its
stupid for her to be
submissive to him. She
should realize this guy
doesn’t love her. He didn’t
force her to do anything
that she couldn't say no to.
She fell for some line.
Obviously he doesn’t love
her if he’s going to base
their relationship on sex.”

Female A: “No because
she’s in no real danger if
she says no and so her
decision was what she

wanted to do.”

Female B: “He coerced
her to do it but she still
said yes so it’s not rape.”

Female C: “No because
she agreed to it.”

CASE 2.

Jen and Mike met ata
party. Mike invited Jen
back to his room and she
accepted. There was no
place to sit but on the bed
even though it made Jen
uncomfortable. After
awhile, they began kissing
and he laid her down on
the bed. She asked him
what he was doing and
requested him to stop but
he continued. When it was
over, she was crying. Mike
took her home and
couldn't figure out what
was wrong with her. Was
wus rape?

Male A: “I think the girl
didn’t communicate her
desires clearly enough.
What happened was an
unfortunate situation but I
don't believe the man knew
what he was doing was
wrong. I'd say no rape
occurred.”

Male B: “Yes, clearly
that’s rape.”

Male C: “That sounds
like it, yeah. It sounds like
she was forced into doing
somethng she didn’t want
to do.”

Female A:
obviously.”

Female B: “Yes. Definite

“Yes,

Female C: “ yes. She
asked him to stop and he
didn't.”

CASE 3.

A young woman at a
nightclub was dressed
fairly provocatively and
was dancing and making
sexfial insinuations with
several men. One of the

men, with whom she had
been particularly flirtatious
walked her to her car and
made sexual advances
towards her. Was this
Tape?

Male A: “Anytime a man
forces himslef on a woman
that he knows doesn’t
want to have sex it’s rape.
The man was wrong to
force himself on her but
the woman also acted
irresponsibly. Her actions
don't give the man the
right to force himself on
her but they are
irresponsible none the
less.”

Male B: “Yes, definitely.
The fact that she was
acting sexually towards
him is irrelevant. It’s only
at that point that it
mattered whether she
wanted to or not.”

Male C: “Of course that’s
rape. He forced himself on
her.”

Female A: “Yes,
definitely. That was a
fucking dumb question.”

Female B: “The way a
person dresses’ has
nothing to do with whether
they're asking for sex or
not, do you know what I
mean?”

Female C: “Yes, nobody
asks for rape.”

CASE 4.

Tim and Brenda had
been going out for two and
a half months and did not
have a sexual relationship.
One night Brenda
borrowed a flattering and
sexy dress from her
roommate to wear to a
party with Tim. Tim really
liked the dress and
thought that perhaps
Brenda was wearing it as a
sign that she was ready to
add sex to _ their
relationship. At the party,
both were drinking and
Brenda was particularly
affected by the alcohol. She
felt tired and wanted to lie
down upstairs. Tim
accompanied her to a room
and the next minute was
all over her. She grumbled
a little but did not scream
so as not to cause a scene.
The music was loud and
she was too tired to make
her protests heard in any
way. Was this rape?

Male A: “It is not rape.
He took advantage of her
but she put herself in a
position to be taken
advantage of. What
happened was wrong but it
was not rape.”

Male B: “While she

should have listened to her
more, I think she had a
reponsibility to protest
more. He should have paid
more attention to what she
was trying to tell him. He
should have been more
sensitive to her needs and
her condition.”

Male C: “You can’t say
that that’s rape. Was she

saying no? Did I
understand her to say no?
It depends.”

Female A:"No, because
she didn’t say no. There
was no real sign that she
didn't want to have sex.”

Female B: “I say it was
rape because he took
advantage of the fact that
she was drunk and was
not capable of thinking
about her decision to have
intercourse.”

Female C: “It wasn’t
rape. According to legal
definition it wasn’t rape.
By moral definition it was
wrong, unfortunately
moral definitions are left
up to the human race and
not to the legal system.”
CASE 5.

Larry and Michelle had
been going out for six
months and did have a
good sexual relationship.
One night after a date
which Larry had paid for
everything, they went back
to her place and watched
TV. He put his hand on her
thigh and she didn’t
respond. When he asked
her to go up to the
bedroom she said she
wasn’t in the mood. Larry
got upset and couldn't
understand why she was
saying no. He laid her
down on the couch and
began to undress her
hoping that she would
change her mind. She
complained again but
knew that she could not do
anything about it since he
was so much bigger and
stronger than she. She
froze up and he had sexual
intercourse with her. Was
this rape?

Male A: “This isn’t rape
because I don’t think she
protested enough. ”

Male B: “Again, if she
complained to him, he
should have been more
sensitive. He should have
talked to her more about it
instead of just going on
with it.”

Male C: “Why didn’t she
tell him to stop? She didn’t
stop him. If he thinks to
herself ‘Well, I can’t stop
him because he’s so big

and strong’ and just sits
back - what kind of

thinking is that?”
Female A: “First of all,

it’s wrong for a man to
assume that he should get
anything sexual in return
just because he paid for a
date. It is rape because he
should know her well
enough to know she didn't
want to have sex but on
the other hand she should
have made it more clear
that she didn’t want to. It
sounds like they didn’t
have a close relationship
anyway because if they did
she would have been able
to tell him how she felt
without being afraid of him
hurting her.”

Female B: “Oh man, this
is a tough one. I would
have to say no it wasn't
rape because she could
have stopped him from
undressing her. She could
have kicked hm out.”

Female C: “No, she gave

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS Q

Kerri Lewis
features Editor

"I didn’t tell anyone. In fact, I
wouldn't even admit it to myself
until about four months later when
the guilt and fear that had been
eating at me became too much to
hide and I came very close toa
complete nervous breakdown. I
tried to kill myself, but fortunately,

I chickened out at the last minute.”
This is how a freshman at a
state university in North
Carolina reacted when her R.A.
raped her as it appeared in
Robin Warshaw’s book I Never
Called It Rape.

Millions of Americans sat glued
to their television sets this week,
fascinated by the media's
presentaion of the Palm Beach
Trial. Now that the verdict is out,
what does that say about how our
society defines acquaintance rape?

In Middle Earth's pamphlet
entitled "Acquaintance Rape: Is
Dating Dangerous?” Acquaintance
Rape is defined as "forced,
manipulated or coerced sexual
intercourse by a friend or an
acquaintance."

Why are so few cases
reported?

Because acquaintance rape is
often difficult to prove, victims
have a hard time recognizing that
what they experience was a
violation and subsequently take a
longer time to recover.

Andrea Parrot, a date rape
expert from Cornell University
stated, "Since an acquaintance
Tape victim often represses
recognition of her experience, she
may carry the effects of the

assault for a longer time than a
stranger-rape victim who may
seek counseling or other support
group help more quickly.”

In 1987, New York State Senator
Lavell stated that a national
survey conducted on 32 college
campuses of 6,200 male and
female students showed that one
in four of the women had been
raped, but 95% of those women
did not report the attack.
Furthermore, 85% of the rapes
had occured among friends.
Lavell used these statistics as
justification for enacting a bill
which requires colleges and
universities to release crime
statistics to prospective students.

When referring to the

discrepancy between the amount

What Happens To A Woman After She’s Been Raped

of women who are raped and the
amount of rapes which show up in
statistics, Val Fahy, coordinator
for administration for Middle
Earth, said, “It may take a long
time before they (the victims) say
it to anyone at all, it may take long
time before they say it to
themselves.” She added, “Many
don't label their experience rape.”

Lisa Donahue, one of the co-
chairs on the Task Force on
women’s safety said victims often
blame themselves for what
happened to them and because of
the stigma surrounding rape,
women might feel guilty and tend
not to report it.

“Whether or not a woman
reports is a personal decision,”
said Student Association's

YELLIN +91

Womyn's Issues Coordinator
Jessica Mann. “She may fear
retaliation (by the rapist) or feel
the university isn’t judicious.”

The problem of defining what
constitutes rape is compounded
when campus help groups such as
resident assistants, Middle Earth
Counselors or UPD officers do not
give uniform responses to rape
victims.

“The reaction of the first person
you tell is the most important
reaction,” Fahy said.

Jessica Mann, the Student
Association's Womyn’s Issues
Coordinator, said NYPIRG has
surveys where women have stated
their R.A. told them “not to worry”
after they had been raped.

But, there is cause to worry.

Marci Manberg, a prevention
education specialist at the Albany
Rape Crisis Center, said
immediately after a woman is
raped she experiences a wide
range of trauma including fear of
the rapist and guilt over what
occurred. Sometimes, she may
fear for her life.

“You think you're going to die!”
Manberg said.

Long term effects, she said,
include depression, isolation, drug
and alcohol abuse as well as
eating disorders.

The Albany Rape Crisis Center
offers assistance to rape victims
for both their immediate and long
term concerns.

Manberg said they have a 24
hour hotline, will accompany the
victim to the police and hospital,
they conduct public outreach
programs and provide therapy for
victims with certified social

Globalism or Isolationism?

On my first day back to school after a blissful 14
month absence, I wandered into the bookstore and
discovered a catchy new tee shirt. The front boasts
“UNIVERSITY AT ALBANY: THE WORLD IS OUR
CAMPUS” and is accompanied by a cute blue and green
globe; the back is emblazoned with the flag of every.
country, I assume, that is represented in the United
Nations. I felt proud just then, discovering that my.
experience studying abroad was something deeply valued
at our university. Is it?

Despite all our rhetoric about multiculturalism and
living in a global village, only a minute number of
students here and elsewhere in the U.S. are taking
advantage of the plethora of opportunities to study
overseas. Out of some 12,500 full time undergraduate

_ Students at SUNYA, only 204 are studying abroad this
year. Using the average class size of 3125 as a base, this

Tiene Prusher

a ES EEE WE AEROS
means that only 6.5 percent of our students opt to study
in a foreign country. According to Dr. Alex Shane, the
director of the Office of International Programs, the
number of students studying abroad through SUNY has
decreased by 20% from the 1989-90 figure, an
unfortunate drop for which the recession is at least
partially responsible. In comparison, one-third of all
foreign students worldwide choose to study in the United
States, according to UNESCO figures. (Education
Record, Spring 1990). It seems that while students
around the globe are anxious to live and learn with us,
are efforts to experience their cultures are comparatively
quite weak.

While the paucity of our students taking advantage of
international opportunities only slightly exceeds the
national average, some schools encourage overseas study
more strongly than others. Almost three-fourths of
Dartmouth undergraduate and one-third of Stanford
undergraduate spend a semester or a year abroad. The
fact that these are private schools which attract more
students from privileged backgrounds is a poor excuse,
for SUNY has some of the most affordable overseas
programs in the entire nation. The notion that studying
abroad is for the wealthy is a myth: scholarships are
available, and the added expense of overseas study may
make students eligible for financial aid, or financial aid
for which they were not previously eligible. When
Albany students study a SUNY Albany-sponsored
program, they are still registered here and can therefore
continue to receive financial or scholarship aid.

How is it that in a time period during which we are
aiming to be politically correct via being tolerant and
respectful of diversity, most students are not taking great
strides to experience life in a foreign country? It seems
that instead of adopting a perspective of globalism, too
many SUNYA students are choosing isolationism. In a
school where non-New Yorkers are somewhat of a rarity,
studying abroad should be more of a priority. A
typically“diverse”” SUNYA crowd might include
students from Long Island, Manhattan, and upstate New

York. We are not a homogeneous student body, but the
average SUNYA experience lacks opportunities to
develop friendships with students from other regions of
the country and from different parts of the world.

Isolationism at Albany is not a phenomenon for which
students have sole responsibility, for the system is at fault
as well. While many other competitive universities have
foreign language requirements, the University at Albany
requires no foreign language study neither for admission
nor for graduation. Although there are numerous
overseas study programs for which there is no foreign
language requirement, even in countries where English is
not the official language, a foreign language requirement
at SUNYA would probably attract more students to. apply
for study abroad: SUNYA did have a foreign language
requirement for its liberal arts majors, but abolished the
policy about ten. years ago. American public schools are
similarly failing to stress foreign language study. While
most industrialized nations have mandatory foreign
language study in elementary schools, our public schools
offer foreign languages as electives on the secondary
school level. Isolationism is thus not so much the fault of
American college students, but of the isolationist
tendencies which still linger in the American
consciousness.

According to James Pasquill, the Assistant Director of
International Programs, male and minority students are
underrepresented in our overseas program, as are science
and math students. There is a misconception that such
courses are not available, yet indeed they are. Even fewer
students in the business school are able to study abroad,
mainly because most of the school’s demanding
requirements cannot be completed elsewhere. While
business, science and math are precisely the fields in
which our national leaders reiterate our need to compete
in global markets, students of those disciplines are
ironically not encouraged or even discouraged from
studying abroad.

Besides expanding your intellectual understanding of
other cultures and giving insight into your own, it is no
secret that studying abroad is a good time. I certainly
expanded my knowledge in classes, but I also found
myself traveling in four countries on three different
continents before my adventure was over. With the help

Tom Clancy sums it all Up

Aspiring terrorists will learn many
things from Tom Clancy’s latest novel,
The Sum of all Fears, but perhaps the
chief lesson of all is this: don’t mess
with the Super Bowl.

Meghan Howard

Clancy’s 798 page heavyweight is
the epitome of the modern spy
thriller: fast-paced excitement,
intrigue, memorable and realistic
characters, and a plot that will make
your head spin. His previous books,
notably The Hunt for Red October and
The Cardinal of the Kremlin, were
written in the same style, but The Sum
of All Fears surpasses even them.
Clancy has said that this book is the
one he's been trying write for years,
that the other novels were only
leading up to his one.

Rabid Clancy fans will not be
disappointed. The book features the
unlikely, but highly understandable
teaming-up of the world’s most
discontented outcasts. One is Marvin
Russell, a Native American from
North Dakota, who has lost a brother
to the guns of the FBI. Then there’s
Gunther Bock, a former East German
member of the Baader-Meinhof Gang
who has nothing left after the
Reunification, and subsequent arrest
and imprisonment of his wife, fellow
terrorist Petra Hassler-Bock and the
confiscation of their twin daughters.

Among the others are two
Palestinians rounding out this band of
misfits, and with the advent of an
Israeli nuclear device gone astray,
these rebels with a cause are a force to
be reckoned with. Not only are they
armed with nuclear power, but they

Sitar breb:

“You green blooded Vulcan!,” Dr.
McCoy screams at the logistic Mr.
Spock, who, as always deflects his
insult with a witty rebuttal.

“Actually Doctor, my blood has
taints of red in it”(or something to
that effect).

Jonathon Ostroff

These aren’t direct quotes, but any
Star Trek aficionado will recognize
them as an example of the constant
banter which goes on between Mr.
Spock and Dr. McCoy. Unlike the
Original series, we have yet to become
this familiar with any of the Next
Generation's characters. There is a
bond with the characters from the
original series which has endured the
Past twenty years. People have
formed relationships with Spock,
Bones, Captain Kirk, Scotty, and the

have an even more horrific weapon at
their disposal-they have absolutely
nothing more to lose. They know
they’re going to die soon, why not
take a few million people with them?

Relax, the free world has nothing to
fear-Jack Ryan is on the case. These
days, our hero is the Deputy Director
of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Surprisingly, Ryan’s worst enemies
maybe be from inside his own
government. Internal politics bog him
down, and in fact threaten to end his
career.

The metamorphosis of the Ryan
character is amazing to see. Our
golden boy has become a little more
worldly. He drinks too much, he
ignores his kids, and neglects his wife.
He practically lives at his office. He is
letting his job eat him up. We learn a
lot more about his past, including
some shady financial dealings. The
angel of international relations has a
tainted halo.

Regular readers will recognize
several recurring characters and
familiar events, especially Hunt for
Red October fans. Bart Mancuso and
Ron Jones, two of the most pivotal
characters from that book are back in
this one. Jim Greer, who appeared in
several books, has died, but Jack
thinks back on him often, since it his
his job he now holds. Even Marko
Ramius is mentioned, although he
doesn’t appear physically. Mentions
are made of Ryan’s work with “that
submarine thing” and “that defection
in Moscow” when he is being
discussed by superiors. By referring to
his own fictional creations of the past,
Clancy allows himself to extend the
illusion of reality which he paints so
well; on the other hand, if you're a

ATU Show or

rest of the crew. When we see them,
we see an old friend. Not an actor, but
a comrade.

The Next Generation actors want to
distance themselves from their roles
on the show, in order to maintain a
wider range in acting opportunity.
Although this distance between actor
and character is necessary for the Next
Generation series to go on, it will
undoubtedly be its own shortcoming.

The three main characters, Bones,
Mr. Spock, and Captain Kirk, create
such conflict between them that some
go so far as to label each character
with one of three ancient Greek
words: pathos, logos and ethos. Bones
symbolizes pathos, the pity of man.
As a doctor he has to deal with the
sick and dwell on man’s mortality.
Spock is associated with logos, the
logic of man. Kirk represents the ethos
of man, the attitudes of the majority.
He is first to attack and last to

first-timer, you won’t be confused in
any way.

Although rare for Tom Clancy, one
of the strongest characters in the book
is a woman, Liz Elliot, The National
Security Adviser. She is a bitch in the
classic sense. An unscrupulous, back-
stabbing, snobby, obnoxious bitch.
And she likes it that way. Even
though you may not be fond of her,
you have to admire the fact that she
gets what she wants. She connives to
acquire the job—although the
circumstances of the previous NSA’s
demise are completely
unbelievable—and she succeeds.
Once she actually becomes NSA, she
jumps in bed with the president.
How cozy.

There are other notable women in
The Sum of All Fears. Cathy Ryan has
a fairly large role and proves herself
to be a perfect match for Jack. She
endures a lot in the name of love, and
even goes to the mat for him against
Elliot. In a scene worthy of a movie in
itself, Cathy goes after Elliot with
claws bared. The whole things ends
with this exchange.

Cathy: “... As a matter of fact,
there’s only one real difference
between us.”

Liz Elliot: “And that is?”

Cathy: “At home, at night. I sleep
with a man, and the nice thing about
it is that I never have to change the
batteries!” Wow.

One thing about Ryan remains
consistent—he’s still the man with all
the answers. He’s still the guy behind
the scenes who does all the dirty work
and comes up with the plans and in
the end gets no credit. Ryan spends
most of the book fending off internal
problems, but he is the one who takes

The man in the dark glasses...
Tom Clancy, master spy

novelist.

the tantalizing hints of information
and ties them together
ultimately—saving the world in the
Process, of course.

Clancy’s writing has never been
sharper. He has a command of the
English language which, although not
flowery or literary, is powerfully
direct. He writes with so much detail
and in a monotone style which
connects all the scenes even when it
seems they aren’t related. When Petra
Hassler-Bock commits suicide was
written in the same matter-of-fact way
as if she was getting out of bed. This
is what makes the suicide so
fundamentally disturbing, so realistic,
that it sends shivers up the reader’s
spine, maximizing the impact.

Though The Sum of All Fears is
excellent, it is very long and not for
the weak of heart. It is also very
technical. However, the plot is so
rivetting that the drawbacks are
outweighed by the rapid pace of the
novel. As the tension builds, it
becomes difficult to stop reading. It is
Tom Clancy at his best.

a Lesson in Philosophy?

consider the consequences. All three
characters combine in creating the
conflict which forms the emotional
core of Star Trek.

In reflection, some might tend to
question my sanity, and the foothold
on reality of many Star Trek fans for
such philosophical thought on a TV
series which only ran for three years.
Excuse my intropspection, but
bringing this out in the open allows
me to confidently continue with my
last point.

With the opening of Star Trek VI, I
am reminded of the dynamic
character relationship that seems to be
missing in the Next Generation. The
movie is also successful in using the
Klingons as an enemy race of
“animals,” as Kirk calls them. The
viewer is returned to the original
spirit of Star Trek, as racism divides
two nations of people--the Klingons
and the Federation—which need each

other.

Themes like prejudice, inequality,
nuclear holocaust, and the essence of
humanity were all issues addressed
by the late Gene Roddenberry. He
didn’t start his series as just a science
fiction show, but as a vehicle to give
us insight into our own natures and
perhaps our destinies. Hopefully, his
death will not mark an end to the
wonderful dream he has created.

Watching the audience applaud Star
Trek VI, from beginning to end
showed me the immense impact this
show has had on our society. The
enjoyment people receive from Star
Trek is what really matters. Its
messages and themes sometimes tend
to overshadow the reason for its
existence: the ongoing journey of the
Starship Enterprise to boldly go where
no TV show has gone before, taking
its fans along for the ride.

Ad's Last GASP

Howdy, folks. Welcome to Gaspland.

For once, my column is living up to its name: this is my last gasp, at
least for the year 1991. Hard to believe I've been Aspects Editor for an
entire semester. When | took this job, | was apprehensive because |
thought editors were supposed to know more than everybody else; I've
since learned that they're as ignorant as anyone, they've just honed the
ability to make people think they know something.

“Ad's Last Gasp” debuted about three months ago. This is the twelfth
installment, though it seems only like yesterday it was summertime and |
was making mental notes of how | should slander friends and family once
the column got underway.

I'd like to end the semester the way | began it, if ya'll don’t mind (and if
ya'll do, so what?) by thanking all the people who have helped me to
negotiate these troubled waters:

lll start with my fellow editors. News: Tom, from the Star Trek con to the
courthouse to the newsroom, you've been a good colleague and friend.
Ain’t no one I'd rather fantasize about strangling staff writers with. Natalie
(see, you finally got mentioned!) thanks for the fan mail — it's less
abundant than you'd think. Sports: Andy, not only do you publish my pro-
Mets propaganda, you saved the last issue from having a big empty space
on Tuesday. Pat, you're a better person and a better writer than you'd like
to believe. Trust me, I'm a full-fledged editor. Features: Kerri, not only did |
never get Paula Abdul, | never got brownies, either. | won't forget, you
know. Editorial Pages: Gina, when are you gonna have some good movie
pictures for me?

And over there in the business office, thanks for the reviews and the
movie dialogue, Wayne. Oh yeah, ad prod (almost forgotten, as usual):
Well, Jon, how does it feel to be a staff writer? Cheryl, don’t let his head
swell too much. When are you gonna start writing for us?

How could | possibly forget my own beloved production staff? (It usually
takes a lot of booze and some heavy narcotics.) Erika, congrats on
becoming managing editor. Aspects will miss you. | might even miss you,
too. Visit us once in a while — like you do nowadays. Expect all the hell
you gave me back ten thousand fold now that you’re my boss. Cheryl (the
other one), my associate editor-to-be and the love of my life, you are the
only woman whom | beg. Don't ever miss another production night or | will
quit — that would mean my job is your job, and you don’t want that.
Louisa, thanks for sticking around — next semester we'll try to cut down
on the utter madness:and increase the mild insanity on Sundays.and
Wednesdays. Dave, Spectrum wouldn't be the same with out you. That
comes from the heart.

On the writing end of things, I'd like to express my gratitude to everyone
who contributed to this fine section. Without you staff writers, I'd be
penning all of Aspects by myself, as opposed to just half of it. The staff
artists are fairly cool, too.

Typist: Noah, you are a keyboard maestro. Thanks for not sabotaging
the Aspects section. Who'll type “Ad’s Last GASP” when you head off to
England? | might even have to do it myself. The very thought gives me
goosebumps.

I'd like to give a fond farewell to the ASP’s queen bees, Leanne and
Meghan. After the first frantic early morning phone call back in September,
| was a little concerned, Leanne. But we've managed to do okay since
then. Meghan, enjoy your tenure as senior editor. This paper will not be
the same when you are gone; hopefully it'll start to improve. The only thing
is, with out you and your big bad sneakers stomping around the
newsroom, what will | write about? Maybe I'll bestow upon you the honor
of penning my column again sometime (not). Byeya!

To the trio of dudes who've put up with me as roommate/suitemate for
the past few months, gracias. Just think, guys, you could do worse. (I
decline to name names.) A special muchas gracias to Tigger, who helped
me devise the name of this column, although from here on | will fervently
deny it.

Finally, | would like to express my admost gratitude to the folks who've
been checking this space out week after week. | hope reading “Ad's Last
Gasp” is as unique an experience as writing it has been. For those around
campus who approached me and said “Good job,” | appreciate it. For
those who didn’t, what’s stopping-you? Doesn't matter, | know you guys
are out there anyway, and I’m glad. Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas,
Hasta La Vista, Baby, and for all you Satanists in Gaspland, Have a Fun
Winter Solstice!

Until next semester, | remain the wacky, the weird, the one-of-a-kind
(Thank someone for small favors, eh?)...

Sa Aspects

Gain 800 Mg lke,

Ever since I started reviewing for
Aspects, I have been hoping for a
really lousy movie to come my way. I
mean, let's face it, it’s easier to tear
something to shreds then to say
“Yeah, I liked it.” Where can you go
from there? I saw My Girl figuring
that with two child actors, Dan
Akyroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis, the
movie would either be wonderful or
amazingly putrid. Thankfully, it was
the former.

Cheryl Torrontor

I seem to have made a practice of
not crying during movies. There are
three exceptions to date. My Girl was
the third.

This movie was amazing. Curtis §

and Akyroyd mix the same way they
did in Trading Places, and it’s great to
have that chemistry back. Macaulay
Culkin might not be the most brilliant
child actor on the face of the earth, but
he does an acceptable job as Thomas J.
Senate, the best friend of the heroine,
Vada Sultenfuss. She is played
magnificently by newcomer Anna
Chlumsky. It is this twelve-year-old
girl who elevates the movie, fm good
to memorable. As someone Who grew
up with child actors like Emmanuel

Lewis, Gary Coleman, and Keshia
Knight-Pulliam, it was great to see
that there is a kid somewhere with
acting talent.

The movie takes place during the
summer of 1972 in Madison,

Pennsylvania. It is a coming of age
story. However, it is quite an eventful
summer, by anyone's standards. Vada
is a tomboy, has a male best friend
(the horror, the horror), has a father
who

is an undertaker and a

grandmother with a tendency
towards catatonia (or singing, take
your pick). Her father’s new
girlfriend (Jamie Lee Curtis) is the
cosmetologist who applies make-up
to the corpses, and on top of all that,
she wants to elope with her English
teacher.

Vada feels a tremendous amount of
guilt over her mother’s death, which
occurred two days after Vada's birth.

. and his family are
the only
normalcy in this
young girl's life.

Vada spends
most of My Girl
trying to deal
with the issue of
death, whether
it is her own,
her mother’s,

or her father’s
“clients”; in

takes Vada in hand and teaches her
the mysteries of make-up and

pulls the Sultenfuss family together
and back into the real world.

The movie shows that life goes on,
no matter how bad things may seem.
There is no guarantee that things will
get better, but at least there is the
potential for change.

This movie captures the essence of
that change beautifully, and Anna
Chlumsky is the key to that. If it
hadn’t been for her and her realistic
portrayal of Vada Sultenfuss, this
movie would have been very hokey,
indeed.

As it is, My Girl is amazingly funny
and accurate, as well as deeply
moving. It’s a movie everyone should
see, especially before we all grow old
and forget what the change from
childhood to adolescence was like.

A Hop, Skip, andaJump Typing, typing, and Satan

For the ten people who joined me in
the viewing of the Experimental
Theater’s presentation of
“Hopscotch,” we were given a rare
theatrical treat.

Pam Fruth

Israel Horovitz’s one-act play
focuses upon the relationship between.
two individuals who met in the past,
separated, and are presently having
difficulty dealing with reality. Elsa
(Claudia Arenas) is a thirty-year-old
who spends her time tossing a stone
upon a hopscotch game and arguing
with Will (J. Keith Doherty), a young
man who has been watching her for
the past week. The action is simple
(constant bickering), yet the dialogue
is heated, powerful and brimming
with an emotional tension we can not
understand. By the play’s end we
learn that Elsa and Will conceived a
child, and the tension results from
their strange and unfeeling sexual
Intercourse which occurred fourteen
years ago.

Fourteen years ago and sadly
€nough, not much has changed. Elsa is
@ feminine version of Peter Pan, yet

= eee

her life is not about pirates and
Tinkerbell but several unwanted
pregnancies and the death of both of
her parents. The setting of a baby
carriage and the chalked hopscotch
game accurately reflects Elsa’s inner
being: trying to act mature, but
remaining a confused and twisted
young person.

Horovitz presents us with a
fascinating look at human existence
and the struggles in relationships
which we experience every day of our
lives. Director Maureen Reilly opts for
a simplistic set, costumes, and lighting
so that we may concentrate on the
dialogue. And we do, as I found
myself on the edge of my seat for the
entire forty-five minutes. Both actors
possessed such magnetism, there was
a definite energetic quality in the air.
From the passionate kisses Will forces
upon Elsa to the harsh words they
virtually spit at each other, Arenas and
Flaherty produce an incredible effect.

I entered the Arena Theater not
knowing what to expect from a small-
scale production. | left feeling
enlightened, disturbed, and mystified
by such a heartfelt and passionate
performance.

Shakespeare on $hrooms

Peter Greenaway has finally gone
ver the edge. His newest film is an
interpretation of William

hakespeare’s romantic work, The
Tempest. 1 use interpretation for lack
Of a better word, because nobody
knows what the hell is going on in this
Movie, Prospero’s Books.

Sheel Sawhney

Prospero's Books tells the story of
Tospero, an emperor banished from
his kingdom by his wicked brother.

Forced to leave his homeland, hi
retreats to a small island with only his)
daughter and his books. These boo
are illuminating references to all th
noteworthy aspects of Prospero’s}
knowledge. Ultimately, he uses hi
knowledge to plan an act of reven;
on Antonia, his brother, and at the'
same time, safeguard his daughter,
Miranda.

Sir John Gielgud stars as Prospero,
the rightful Duke of Milan, and he
does an exceptional job. In fact,
Greenaway has him narrate the better
half of the film, reciting many of the

The word is a powerful thing. “The
Pen is mightier than the Sword,” they
taught us in grade school. What they
have failed to teach us is the source of
this power. It is not simply some guy
from history writing a momentous
diatribe against some evil nation or
philosophy. Ink makers, the paper
factories, the editors, the research
assistants, the librarians, and the lay-
out people and the typists all give
power to the Pen. Especially typists.

Noah H. W ildman

Iama Typist. I come to the ASP for
seven or so hours a week and throw
my heart into a keyboard, changing
the context in which the Word is
written - from dull paper to glowing
light on a monitor. Some may scoff at
this job, but it is more difficult than
one thinks. Some are just typists (and
I use the lower case on purpose).
These are the lowly turds of Satan that
give Typists a bad reputation.

It would be foclish to think that a
Typist chooses this profession merely
for the monetary rewards (though
maybe there would be more Typists
and fewer typists if it was greater). I
have a muse, and her name is
Corinna. She is my inspiration, my
Queen and Goddess of Typing. No,
she is not a Typist, but she has a real
job and knows how to work hard. If a
typist were to use her kind of drive,
they'd soon be a Typist. My Goddess
is also my girlfriend and if any other
beautiful female was my muse,
Corinna would come over and bop
me one. The great discipline and

other character’s lines.

When you sit down and first start
watching, you are overwhelmed by a
deluge of highly styled, visual shots.
Greenaway uses superimposing and
grandiose settings in which he
unleashes a storm of insanity that

resourcefulness learned as a Typist,
more than any wimpy military
institution, will guide my future
career moves.

I had a typing class in seventh
grade, the year I reached puberty.
Puberty and manual typewriters don’t
mix. They were big clunky things that
were bolted to the kid-sized desks
that took great finger strength to type
(CLUNKCLUNK!!!) on. We learned to
keep our fingers on eight primary
keys and never take our eyes off the
paper, never looking at the keys. As I
type this, I am looking at a dirty tan-
colored apple keyboard (they say
monitors give you eye cancer) without
remorse. Those who can’t do, teach.
Obviously Mrs. Grabsky, the typing
teacher, was a typist, not a Typist.

I am going to England for a
semester abroad this spring, and will
not be lending my great skill to the
ASP. So what this really is is a veiled
advertisement for a job that pays
moderately ($4.25/hour beginning)
for easy work and very flexible hours.
Only Typists need apply. Please.

I must thank a few people here.
Thank you Satan, for inspiring me to
kill. Thank you, Adam and Erika,
Aspects Editors, for introducing me to
Satan. Thank you, Cheryl, for
showing me why Satan is such a nice
guy. Thank you, Looooeeeza, for
showing me why Christianity is
stupid. And thanks to the whole
Satan-loving crew at the ASP, even if
most of you only say you love Satan.
Hi, Mom, look, I'ma Typist! I told you
I'd fulfill my dreams someday! And
thank you, Corinna, for showing me
carnal sin.

Flowing calligraphy, in the “book

Life Sux

Life sux. There’s not much else to say. Just life sux. I am in my room,
isick with a flu, and the most influential, brilliant thing I can say is life|
sux. I have finals in one week, I have to study (today is the first time in|
four days my mind is working), I wanted to ask a girl for a date (sick|
sux) and I am stuck in my room writing an article. Doesn’t get much|
better than this.

Well, now, back to the article. I was reading an Outland comic while|
lon the toilet and had an inspiration. This is one thing me and Madonna|
Ihave in common, toiletries and all. It is interesting to note how
lridiculous the world is these days.

It is illegal to have firecrackers, but it is alright to buy a gun. I mean, I
know the government is a bit screwed up (Dan Quayle is vice-president
lafter all), but puleeze, get your priorities straight.

A second thing which always gets me are pro-life activists. They feel
lit is a terrible crime to kill a fetus in a womb, yet they see nothing]
lwrong with blowing up an abortion hospital or a woman having a baby
that will kill her. I am not arguing pro-life or pro-choice, but I think)
these people ought to get a grip. I mean, it is interesting that mostly,
Imen are arguing this. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think their is}
Imuch of a problem with male pregnancies.

The most interesting thing to me right now is the controversy over|
condoms on television. It is alright to have phone sex lines with people|
Imoaning but no condoms. I mean, they don’t have anything against!
[Doogie or that girl from Roseanne having sex, but no, absolutely no|
condoms.

One of the most hypocritical things of all is the fact that Congress had
ithe Clarence Thomas trial, while most of them are horny old men who}
lare probably worse than Thomas. I mean, look at Ted Kennedy. He’s|
probably up there with Wilt Chamberlain and Geraldo, and yet he is
judging another man who may have been guilty of sexual harassment,
Like, give me a break.

I better stop writing this on account of the fact that me and tidy bowl]
Iman are about to become very good friends. Remember, it's not the|
value of life that’s important, it's the softness of the toilet paper.

-Adam Spector

Continued from page 3A

but this is a tangent to the actual
plot. Disoriented and oblivious, you
will leave the film dissatisfied, even|
if you knew the text before hand.
Greenaway’s repertoire consists of|
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, And
[Her Lover, as well as Drowning By
Numbers, his latest work in the same|
vein. It is “ultra-violent” and aj
spectacle of human genitalia, which|
will either be regarded as way)
ahead of its time or a monumental}
waste of one.

Thank you, DIA

‘To the Editor:

I just want to take the time to write a letter of thanks to DIA
Fratemity . For those who didn’t know, they brought some
male strippers to campus. A group called Hardbodies. The
reason I am writing is not only because they brought them to
campus, but that they did not exclude anyone from attending,
Particularly men. Instead, they personally invited our members
to come. In a time when it seems homophobia is raging, it is
comforting to see acceptance, especially from a stereotypical

Bookstore cheats

‘To the Editor:

While the U.S economy is suffering, SUNY Albany’s
campus bookstore is squeezing higher profits out of students’
pockets. It has come to our attention that our bookstore is
obtaining part of their profits from books that have printed on
them” FREE COPY, NOT FOR SALE”. The bookstore
ingeniously covers these statements by placing used book”
stickers and black tape to conceal their crime.

‘The bookstore is charging us for free books that are donated
by the publisher for this university. Several students in our
English 210 class unwittingly purchased “free copies” of Heart
Of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad and The Scarlet Letter by
Nathaniel Hawthome, both copies published by the St Martin

‘We are appalled by their unethical practices and we would
like to wam the students to peel oddly placed stickers off their
books before purchasing them for the Spring semester. We
have seen two examples of this which leads us to believe that
Bames and Noble has probably done this before and will
probably do it again.

We think it’s bad enough that they overcharge us for the
books that they have purchased. It is unethical and illegal for
them to sell “free copies” at a profit. We are thorougly
disgusted by this and want our money refunded.

workers.

@| “A person has to want to come
in and go through the healing
process,” she admitted.

She also said there is no
specific type of person who will
i be more affected by rape
because the experience is
“equally traumatic” for all
people, but women who were
assertive and had good coping
skills before the incident
occurred have a better recovery
Tate.

A study Ms.. Magazine
conducted in 1988 showed that
82% of rape victims said the
experience had permanently
changed them.

Where to get help on campus

John Henighan, the Assistant
i Director of the Department of

Public Safety said, “We try to do
whatever’s most comfortable for
the victim. Our primary goal is
to make sure the victim’s
physical and mental injuries are
taken care of.”

He said they do this by
referring students to Middle
Earth and physicians and
gynecologists at the University
Health Center.

University police officers also
focus their efforts on identifying
the aggressor and apprehending
him if possible, but Henighan
said this is often difficult since
many victims do not wish to
take their case to court.

Representatives from Middle
Earth provide prevention
workshops for students in
addition to providing counseling
for students who have
experienced rape.

“There is a high correlation
between sexual assault and
intrapersonal problems,” Fahy
said. She explained, “Students
have been coming to us with a
common reaction of low self-
esteem and problems with
relationships. We researched the
q cause and we found much of the
time it was rape.”

Obstacles to Implementing
Rape Awareness and
Prevention Programs On
Campus

“T find it ironic,” Mann said,
“that President Swygert testified
at the Senate Campus Safety Bill
about all sorts of forums and
stuff that have all been done by
students, he didn’t mention the
administration once.”

“It seems,” she added,
“campus safety is only a priority
when he’s talking in front of the
Senate.”

Looking towards the future

Mann and Donahue both
stressed the most important
project the University is working
on right now is the development
of a uniform protocol for how to
deal with rape victims.

The protocol, which will be
completed next semester, is
entitled “A coordinated response
to sexual assault of students.”
Donahue said the Presidential
Task Force “was instrumental in
getting it going” but the Office
of Student Affairs has become
involved in the writing of
guidelines which will require all
university staff who help rape
victims to follow the same
procedure.

“We’ve put this together,”
Donahue said, “so the victim
gets the best quality care we can
offer.”

Included with the protocol
will be a packet which Donahue
said will include resources for
tape victims, emergency phone
numbers and reporting options.

Mann said the protocol will be
“more concerned with the victim
and helping the victim feel safe”
than past guidelines. She also
said it is important for people
like R.A.’s to have a specific
checklist in front of them when
rape victims come to them
because otherwise in times of
crisis they might panic and
forget to take important
measures to protect the victim's
physical and mental health.

Fahy had her own views on
future projects.

“A lot has been done so far
concerning what rape is, what it
looks like. It’s time to look at
prevention,” she said, “by
helping college men and women
look at how they communicate.

“Men and women are
socialized differently, so they

often don’t have a language to
communicate in,” she added.
“We need to help people talk
about where they’re
vulnerable.”

Offering another view, Rape
Crisis Counselor Carol
Andrews-Pritchard states in her
book Avoiding Rape On and Off
Campus, , “We must confront
sexist behavior at all points on
the continuum from sexist jokes,
to sexual harassment, to rape
and spouse abuse. Only in this
way can we change the societal
attitudes which promote rape.”

His

its hard to know what’s right or
wrong out there. Its not easy to

with a little time and effort you
can make a difference.

Hers
Continued from page 9

help because if violent crimes
occurring on campuses continue
to go unreported, our university
is dictating a message to the
community at large that rape
does not exist. But, the statistics
of college women who have
been raped are staggering. One
out of every four women
experience rape while in
college. Think about that! That
is one woman in each suite.

It is even more disturbing that
because our society often
blames the victim of violent
crimes instead of the
perpetrator, women often don’t
report being raped because they're
embarrassed or ashamed. But,
they must understand they are
not the ones at fault, rather they
are the survivors of these
crimes. Women are often
alienated and told we in fact are
the perpetrators of the crime. On
the surface this attitude may
have changed but in reality so
few crimes are reported that one
must question this so called
change. Our campus is a good
example of this. If a student

wanted to report a rape on campus there
is only one policewoman working for
UPD. However, not all women feel
comfortable telling a man they have been
raped. Often a woman needs a woman to
confide in at a time of crisis.

We'd like to leave you with a message.
Don’t be silent. Women and men have
been silent much too long! If you have a
Problem, don’t be afraid to turn to other
women. Tell someone even if you don’t
want to officially report it. Be cautious
and aware of any issue that occurs on
campus and outside campus. Self-defense
and awareness is a never ending process.

Campaign
Continued from page 3

“State support alone cannot provide
what is needed to maintain and build our
Teputation of excellence,” Allen said.

Both Swygert and Allen commented on
the possible success of the campaign.
“Over the past 10 years, private givings
have doubled,” Allen said. “We can
anticipate further growth,” he added.

According to Swygert, recent
contributions to the University have
increased, even in tougher economic
times. Due to economic hardships and the
State’s declining level of aid, the timing
of the campaign is perfect, Swygert said.

“We're trying to help ourselves,” he
Said. “It’s reasonable for the taxpayers to
ask us to help ourselves.”

This is
unfortunately
the last issue
of the ASP for

the 1991

Hockey club falls to 3-8

By Ari Kampel
STAFF WRITER

The Albany State Ice Hockey
Club dropped to 3-8 with a split
of its past four games. The team
won close contests against
Hudson Valley and was blown
out by Ithaca and Siena.

On Tuesday, November 26,
Albany won its second game in
three tries with a 4-2 victory
over HVCC at the Olympic Ice
Park. Drew Clark, Ryan
McDonald, Mike Palumbo, and
Dave Tuckman all scored goals

for Albany, while Rob
Hendrickson stopped 24 shots
on goal.

The Danes had opened the
year with a four-game losing
streak.

On Saturday December 6, in
the Second Annual Challenge
Cup at the Knickerbocker
Arena, Albany was blown away
by Siena, 9-1.

In last year’s game, Albany
scored two third period goals to
win the contest, 4-2. However,
the year and the team are
different.

Head Coach Todd Flanigan
was very impressed with the
way his team played during the
first 12 minutes of the game. “I
thought we played a very good
first period,” Flanigan said. “If
we could have stayed at that
level and execution throughout
the game, we could have won.”
However, after Siena scored

downhill quickly.

The Danes fared no better the
next night against Ithaca. Two
goals and two assists by Jay
Kelley, and two goals and three
assists by James Mastondrea led
the Bombers to a 10-1 rout.

In their last game before the
break, the Danes produced an
impressive come-from-behind
win against HVCC, on
‘Wednesday night.

The Danes fell behind 2-0,
and after two periods, still faced
the same two goal deficit, 5-3.
However, Albany scored three
unanswered goals in the final
period to win the game. Dave
Tuckman produced a hat trick,
Tom Dumas had two goals, and
Eric Gelfan scored the game
winner, The win left the Danes
at 3-8, 3-5 in league play.

Flanigan feels his team is
much better then it has shown.
He explained that most of the
team’s mistakes have been
mental ones. “We're not doing
simple things right,” he said.
“We need to get the puck out of
the zone, and to check better.”

Flanigan feels the power play
has improved, and should keep
them in games in the second
half of the season. However, the
team faces an uphill battle in
making the playoffs. “We're
always done a good job of
settling that last playoff better,”
Flanigan admitted. “It is
possible, but it doesn’t look too

Men's volleyball club ends string of
consecutive tournament wins at five

Compiled By ASP Staff

A streak of five straight tournament victories
came to an end for the Albany Men’s Volleyball
Club with a heart-breaking second place finish at
Syracuse University.

In Cortland on November 23rd, Albany scored
its biggest tournament victory ever, overcoming a
field of 16 teams, including heavily-favored
Cornell, Buckell, and Genesee Community
College. Albany fought its way into a tough final
with GCC by knocking off Cornell, 11-15, 15-9,
15-12, 15-10 in the finals. Albany’s sophomore
sensation Bernie Bonn was named tournament
MVP.

Albany went into Syracuse on Sunday looking
for its sixth straight victory. Albany easily beat
Siena, Brockport, Utica College and finally
Syracuse University to enter the semifinals.
Albany blasted Oswego 15-7, 15-4 to force a re-
match with GCC in the finals.

Genesee is located in the western part of New
York, which is the heart of volleyball in the
Northeast. They are renowned for recruiting
volleyball players which are just below Division I
level.

The Danes dropped the first game, 9-15, and
then came roaring back to take the second, 15-11.

This forced a third game, which uses rally
scoring (in this format, the team does not need to
be serving to score a point, hence each serve
results in a point). Albany raced out to a 5-0 lead,
but was caught quickly. The teams traded points
until the score was tied 15-15. GCC then won the
next two point to win the tournament.

Senior middle-hitter Jason Bulson said, “It was
devastating to end the streak, especially to a team
we had beaten just the week before. But now we
have to look forward to dominating the regular
season”

Albany’s second place finished marked the first
time since November 1990 the Danes failed to win
a tournament they entered, and only their second
loss in the same time. _

The Danes will begin their push to win the
Upstate East Conference of the Eastern
Intercollegiate Volleyball Association, an
association which encompasses teams form as far
away as North Carolina, starting in the second

Oneonta is welcome sight for wrestlers

Schlosser beats “arrogant” Pellech

By Scott Breier
STAFF WRITER

After the tough Division I
competition at the Coast Guard
Tournament Oneonta was a
welcome sight. The SUNYA
wrestlers defeated the Red
Dragons 26-15 in front of a
home crowd of about 200
spectators on Tuesday. Albany
competed against Oneonta
earlier this season at the Oneonta
Tournament.

Last season, the Danes also
won a head-to-head dual.

Coached again by assistant
Andy Seras, who is filling in for
Head Coach Joe Demeo, the
Danes won the exciting dual
meet with strong performances
from four wrestlers.

The return of Rob Appel from
an ankle injury was the shot in
the arm that Albany needed.
Appel totally dominated
Oneonta’s Tim Ellsworth with
an abundance of takedowns,
almost pinning him in the final
seconds. He won the match
easily, 28-10.

The gutsy performance by
Albany’s Jon Pearsall, who
wrestled his first varsity match
against Oneonta’s Jon Watt, was
important because it kept the
Oneonta point total down.
Although he lost the match his
teammates were impressed.

STAFF WRITER

The Danes (1-3) lost their
second game in a row, falling to
Army, 55-49 at West point on
November 6. The Danes played
their last game before a long
winter break last night against
Hamilton,

The Danes began against
Army with a bang. Brandon
Zuklie won the opening tip and
deflected it towards Jason
Ferrier. Ferrier drove towards
the hoop and executed a
thunderous, two-handed slam
dunk.

Unfortuantely for Albany,
there was not much else to cheer
about in the first half, as the
Cadets raced to a 35-22 lead, led
by center Johnny Selle’s 15
Points, Guard Marc Williams led
the Danes with eight.

The second half was a
different story. Albany battled
back from a deficit that got as
high as 15 points and tied the

With 3:54 to go, Ferrier stole
ball and drove the length of
Court. He attempted another
dunk, but this time, he missed.
Army took advantage, scored on

nsuing possession, and the
Danes had the momentum taken

“John did really well saving
points for us,” Luke Rakoczy
said. “He kept himself in the
match,”

“I thought I beat him
physically but I didn’t take the
opportunity to win the match,”
remarked Pearsall.

One of the most exciting
matches of the evening was
between Albany’s Jon Schlosser
and Oneonta’s Stan Pellech.
Schossler dominated Pellech by
wrestling smart, tying up his
opponent and not trying to do
too much.

“He was pretty tough. Strong
like a bull,”
Schlosser said. “I
didn’t do anything
stupid.”

Pellech is fj
known as a cocky
wrestler who likes
to intimidate. He
lost to Rakoczy
when the two
teams met last

year,

“He is very
arrogant,” said
Rakoczy. “He

best. He’s not

Rakoczy finished off Oneonta
when he pinned Watt in the 190-
pound match with Albany
trailing 15-14 at the time.
Rakoczy was leading 2-0 when
he dropped and sent his
shoulders to the mat in front of
the jubilant crowd.

The pressure to win the match
wasn’t tough, according to
Rakoczy. “I knew that Oneonta
didn’t have a heavyweight so I
just had to stay in it and we
would win the meet,” he said. “I
just had to keep it within three
points.”

“The win is important. It gives

us a positive attitude going to
the break,” Schlosser said.

“T think we’re showing a lot
more,” Seras said. “We must
reach our potential. If we do we
could be dangerous.”

Albany won its second dual meet of the season Tuesday.

Junior varsity disappoints Jones

over the next five years, the
Danes proceeded to commit
three turnovers and force three
bad shots.

“Our guys are just
inexperienced,” Albany coach
James Jones said. “With
experience comes patience, and
the Cadets have lots of it.
Impatience on the floor leads to
bad decisions, and that’s what
cost us the win.”

Last season, Jones' Danes
bolted to a 6-0 start, and their
first loss came against Hamilton.

“T don’t think that these guys
feel as much after a loss
(compared with last years’
squad),” Jones said. “Winning
and losing has always been
important to me. I’ve never been
associated with a team even
close to the .500 mark before,
and never with mediocrity. This
is a totally new experience to

me.

Women's track gives coach bonus

A big factor in the Danes
early woes has _ been
performance from the foul line,
but it is not due to lack of
proficiency. The Danes are
lacking in attempts, only 44
through four games. That is
compared with the 95 for the
opponents. Hypothetically, if
Danes opponents shot 70
percent from the line in the four
games, they would have a nine-
point advantage from the charity
stripe each game. Against Army,
Albany shot 3-6 from the line,
opposed to 13-18 for the Cadets.

For the game, the Danes were
paced by Ted Hotaling’s 17
points. Williams chipped in with
12 and Brandon Zuklie had 8.

Selle led Army with 21 and
Shaw Field had 18. Hotaling
also led the Danes in rebounding
with a season-high seven.

Albany totalled 13 blocked
shots (five by Dave Zuklie).

Freshman steps up to make Doc wait

Sauers' next shot
at 600 will be in
Ithaca tomorrow

By Wayne Stock
SENIOR EDITOR

Word had surfaced before
Wednesday night’s Albany-
Hamilton game that a 66", 21-
rebound, 25-point Goliath was
going to try to spoil Doc Sauers'
600th victory celebration. So as
the Great Danes spent the
evening denying, rejecting and
knocking down Hamilton’s
third-team All-American Mike
Smith, somehow a 5'9" freshman
from North Syracuse snuck into
University Gym and stole
Sauers’ cake.

Fran D’ Agata, who entered the
contest averaging 5.8 p.p.g.,
exploded for 21 points, all from
beyond the three-point arc, as
Hamilton (4-1) escaped with a
thrilling 73-71 victory. The win

snapped the
Danes’ three-
game win
streak, and
dropped the
Danes to 5-4.
Sauers’ career
record now

(Sauers) gets
600 in his
next game
and then 600
more,” said
Hamilton
head coach
Tom Murphy, whose team was
ranked fourth in Sports
Illustrated’s preseason Division
Tl poll. “I’m just glad he didn’t
get it here tonight.”

But Albany did almost get it
on Wednesday.

“We made a good run,” Sauers
said. “What hurt us were some
costly turnovers at the end.”

Bob Miller (32) hit this short jumper but missed a crucial late 12-footer.

Doc Sauers (second from left) will once again go for win #600 tomorrow.

With a 65-62 lead and 4:33
remaining, the Danes began to
unravel. After watching the
Continentals reel off eight
unanswered points, helped along
by several turnovers, Albany
suddenly found themselves in a
70-65 hole at the 2:52 mark,

The Danes, however, managed
to claw back. Following a pair of
consecutive jumpers by Bob
Miller and Alex McCleam, Jeff
Farnsworth recaptured the lead
with :31 remaining on a feed
from Miller as he was falling out
of bounds. Eight seconds later,
however, the Continentals got a
trip to the charity stripe.

A pair of successful free
throws by Scott Dorrity,
following a near steal by Miller,
put Hamilton back in command,
72-71 with 23 ticks left on the
clock.

With the game on the line,
Sauers once again cailed Miller’s
number. But this time it would

not happen.

same shot.”

Albany had taken command of
the game right from the start.
Hot perimeter shooting
combined with an alert,
swarming defense allowed the
Danes to control the tempo. A
pair of consecutive trifectas by
Steve Ries gave Albany their
biggest lead of the game, 28-19,
with 6:29 remaining in the first
half.

Frustrated with their efforts to
get entry passes down to Smith
in the paint, Hamilton had to rely
on its outside shooting. A 16-§
surge, which included nine by
D’Agata, closed out the first half
and gave the Continentals a 37-
36 advantage.

“The last few teams we’ve
played have collapsed on
Smith,” Murphy said. “We feel
we have a very good three-point
game that gets even better when
they concentrate down low.”

Albany came out hot in the

early stages of the second half,
building a 52-44 lead following
a pair of buckets by Miller at the
13:15 mark. The Continentals
slowly chipped away at the lead
and finally went ahead with 3:15
to play when D’ Agata sent home
his final three-pointer.

Despite a clear height
mismatch, Albany was not
weary of going to their postmen.
The Danes’ three bigmen
(Miller, McClearn and Graber)
combined for 44 points and held
Smith to only 12 points and
eight rebounds.

“We didn’t think their
defensive play down low was
very good,” Sauers said. “Our
plan was to go at them, and we
did.”

Sauers will once again look to
become the 19th member of
college basketball’s 600 club
when the Danes travel to Ithaca
on Saturday for an afternoon
game.

Lady Danes dispose of Bombers with ease

By Patrick Cullen
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

A deeper bench and a superior running
game were the keys Wednesday as the
undefeated Lady Danes (7-0) discarded
Ithaca College (4-2) 68-45, in a matchup
of two teams with explosive running
games as their meal tickets.

“TI was really nervous going into the
game,” remarked Albany coach Mari
‘Warner. “We hadn’t been tested yet by a
true running team.”

If Warner had any doubts coming in,
they quickly dissipated, as Albany forced
the trigger-happy Bombers to the
perimeter, where they were ice-cold.
Ithaca could manage only three field
goals in the first 15 minutes of the first
half. Albany, meanwhile, bolstered an
early lead by going on a 17-4 tear to take
a commanding 23-8 lead at the seven-
minute mark.

A modest Ithaca 8-0 run was quickly
doused as Laurie Annunziato buried an
18-foot jumper from they key and Ikeuchi
Franklin and Lynda Nealis hit two free
throws apiece to keep the Albany lead at.
11, The Lady Danes led at the half, 33-21,

A different Albany team came out in

the second half - a flat one. The Bombers
cut the Albany lead to six, opening the
half with 10 of the first 12 points.

The Lady Danes would reawaken,
however. A Néalis lay-in off a pretty
Suzanne Jackey look capped a Lady Dane
run that put them ahead 50-36 at 10:41 of
the second half.

“They’re one of the best teams we'll
play this year,” exclaimed center Patsy
Kiulehan.

“We proved we were the better running
team tonight,” Franklin said.

Indeed, Albany threw a wrench into
Ithaca’s run-and-gun offensive scheme,
holding the Bombers to a horrific 25
percent from the field and limiting their
easy shots. The Bombers launched 17
three-point shots, but converted only two.

“Albany really took us out of
everything,” mused Bomber coach
Christine Pritchard. “We came in cold,
and we never managed to get on track.”

“We ran them over,” said Nealis, the
Lady Danes’ leading scorer with 12
points,

Ithaca’s only edge was on the glass,
pulling down 56 rebounds to Albany’s 48.
The Bombers grabbed 30 rebounds off

the offensive glass, to 10 for the Lady
Danes. Most were as a result of Ithaca’s
poor outside shooting, which created
some long caroms.

“We did a good job of clogging up the
inside,” Kiulehan said. “But they took
Jong shots which meant long rebounds.”

“Our guards had trouble boxing out,”
intimated Franklin, who pulled down 10
rebounds. Tanya Morrissey led Albany
with 13.

The Lady Danes shot an adequate 46
percent from the field but were subpar-at
the charity stripe, converting 14 of 25
(56%). “We usually shoot around 67%,”
Warner said. “I’m definitely not happy
with our free-throw shooting.”

Maura Keenan’s 11 points and 18
rebounds paced Ithaca.

As the undefeated Lady Danes head
into finals week and Christmas recess, the
thought of an undefeated season is not an
unrealistic thought to some of them.

“We definitely can be unbeaten,” said
Franklin, echoing the sentiment felt by a
lot of the team at the moment.

True, Albany is enjoying its best ever
Start to a season (7-0) and are consistently
playing well, but can they really go

through the season unscathed?

Warner is cautious. “We still have a lot
of tough match ups ahead of us,” she said.
“Right now, we'll take it one game at a
time and take it from there.”

“A win like this gives us belief in our
running game,” the coach said. “At this
point, we have as fairly strong team.”

Net notes: Ithaca entered the game at
50 percent in three-point attempts (9-18),
but is now at 31 percent. Albany has held
its opponent to 24 percent from that range
«Morrissey is shooting 55 percent from
the field, but 36 percent from the free-
throw line.
