The Albany State home football
season came to an, end with the
Danes overcoming Division 11 New
York Tech and the weather in a41-7
win on Saturday. The. Danes in-
creased their record to 6-3 in the
cold, driving wind and snow, New
York Tech dropped to 4-4-1,

The weather played a major role
in the game and also kept the fans
at home, Attendance was estimated
as less than 100,

“We did it for ourselves,'” said
Dane co-captain Chuck Priore,
of 15 seniors playing in their last
home game, “If they don’t want to
support us that's their business,"”

The wind, blowing hard from
Wesi to enst, made punting very dif
ficult, and the cold and snow made

the ball hard to handle, Both of
these factors seemed to hamper
New York Tech more than Albany.
‘The Bears turned the ball over seven.
times, the Danes only twice,

John Berry, the Bear punter, had
the roughest day of all. He averaged
‘only 21,2 yards on five punts,
fumbled two snaps and had a punt
blocked — all deep in his own ter-
ritory.

“Their kicking game must have
cost them half their points,!” sald
‘Albany hiead coach Bob Ford.

Albany had the wind at their
backs inthe first quarter and used it
to their advantage, On their first
iwo drives Berry punts of 21 and 18
yards left the Danes aj about mid-
field. On the first they marched 49
yards in eight plays with John

by Sharon Cole

In an impressive season opener,
the Albany State women's swim
team under the direction of
coach Dulce Fernandez, took third:
place in the second annual Great
Dane Relays on Saturday at Univer
sity pool,

‘The Danes had a second, two
thirds, and three fourth place
finishes out of ten events. Albany
finished just behind two
powerhouse teams from Iihaca and
. This was a tremen-
‘over last year's
meet in which Albany finished a

distant fourth to Ithaca, St
Lawrence, and McGill, McGill
came in fourth this year, finishing

just one point behind Albany.

Tthaci nder the direction of
head coach Jim Perkins, continued
their domination of Albany's meet.

Last year, they ‘only’ won seven
events, This year they took eight of
the fen events, Ithaca began their
roll in the first event, the 400 yard
Medley Relay, which they swam in
23,4. The Bombers went on to
pure the 800 yard Free Relay
(8:39.1), the 300 yard Backstroke
Relay (3;24,5), the 200 yard But-
terfly Relay (1;58,1), the one-meter

OCA Position is In Doubt

by Lisa Mirabella

The position of Director of the
Off Campus Association (OCA), as.
well as the director, Mark Dunlea,
may be eliminated if a bill submit-
ted to Central Council (CC) 1
Week by SA President Dave Pologe
passes,

The bill calls for reorganizing the
OCA by eliminating the position of
“Director? and hiring tlree
studenis to do the tasks for which
the director is now responsible,

A similar bill was proposed 10 CC
last year, but the debate did not in-
Volve Dunlea's political association
with the Albany Citizens Party.

Pologe said he proposed the bill
because of a conflict of interest cons
cerning Dunlea's concurrent posi-
tions as OCA Director and Co-
Chair of the New York Siatc
Citizens Party.

Last month a controversy arose
concerning Dunlea's use of the
OCA ‘Ielephone number on a
Citizens Party leaflet, At that time

questions were also raised about
Dunlea’s possible use of OCA
funds for the Citizens Party.
Dunlea said, "Using the phone

Pologe said he feels that with the

resulted from the list of
registered student voters put
together by a coalition of student

Dunlea said the list was public in-

(Pologe) knew I was going to give
the list to a member of the Citizens

The bill proposed last year—
Which called for the same change

Standardized Testing Reform Raises Debate

by Elizabeth Reich

The new president of the Educ
tional Testing Service (ETS) pro-
posed at a Congressional hearing
last week that the nation's testing.
Organizations voluntarily join
together 10 prepare an indusiry-
wide ‘Code of Fair Testing!’ to fur-
ther “the principle of openness in
testing," according to The Chroni-
cle of Higher Education,

ETS is a non-profit corporation
that develops standardized tests,
The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
lone is taken each year by 1.3
nillion college-bound high schoo!
Juniors and seniors

Gregory R. Anrig, who has been
president of BTS since Sepiember,
also stiggested ETS name a commit.
{ee of outside visitors from
organizations which have in. the
past been critical of ETS to con-
Vince the public that the corpora:
tion is obeying its own “standards
for quality and fairness!” and to,
assist ETS trustees in publishing a
yearly “accountability report.’

Anrig claimed that federal
regulation is unnecessary, because
of what he calls the testing ine
dustry’s good response 0 calls for
increased openness and accountas
bilily, He said regulatory legislation
has created reams of regulations,
forms, and bureaucratic
guidelines’ in the past

The American Psychological
Association, the American Educa-
tional Research Association, and

the National Council on Measure-
ment in Education are now revising
the standards on which Anrig's pro-
posed voluntary code would be bas:
ed. Those groups would also be ask-
ed 10 monitor compliance with the
code.

Last month ETS extended its
test-disclosure programs required
by New York State, to students na-
tionwide, according to Anrig.

This legislation know as the
“‘iruth in testing’? law was adopted
by the New York State Legislature
in 1979 afier extensive lobbying by
consumer, civil rights, and. other
groups. According to The New
York Times, the law took effect in
January 1980 and “requires spon-
sors and manufacturers of college
admissions examinations 10 offer
testetakers the right, at the time
Scores are reported, f0 obtain copies
Of the test along with their answer
sheet and a key 10 the correct

responses,’

ETS was opposed to the legisla:
tion because the cost of test
development would increase since
questions that were disclosed could
not be reused, They also fell that
{est quality could be threatened
since many more questions would,
have to be developed, The New.
York Times reported,

tests, due to the current legislation,

Chemistry Regains its Ph.D.

The SUNYA Chemistry Depart-

from the State Education Depart

‘According to Department Chair
Lawrence Snyder, “having the pro-

The Ph.D, program was suspend

NYPIRG And You:

Progress For The Future

Yen Vardin

‘The following is an update on NYPIRG,
arid what it has accomplished, and is now
Working on;

Our drinking water in many areas is un-
safe, while people who cannot afford to pay
their heating bills are being dropped from
federal support as fuel prices rise, In 1982,
NYPIRG will work to pass legislation to
alleviate these problems and others in the
health care, environmental protection,
higher education, energy, property tax, and
political reform areas.

NYPIRG has full time student lobbyists
under the direction of lawyer Avihur
Makin, This is the most effective lobby in
the state legislature.

There are two NYPIRG groups in the
area, At the University ai Albany
(457-4623) NYPIRG 1s sponsoring ongoing
Tesearch projects in the areas of: recycling,
huclear energy, the bottle bill, aulo in-
surance, and toxics,

NYPIRG ‘recently went to a coalition
Meeting of campus groups interested in
recycling. The scrap industry is depressed
now, but there are buyers in the capital

This Is a greal grassroots issue because

ROTC Ridicule

To the Editor:

Did you know thal ROTC follows a
policy Of legal discriminalion? Did you
know that ROTC advertisements and pam-
phlets are deceptive and misleading?

The following statement appeared in an
ROTC advertisement in (he November 4
Issue of the ASP, "The Army offers college
sophomores the opportunity to carn an of-
ficer's commission in two years."

This statement implies that the oppor-
lunily is open 10 all college sophomores
This implication is false, ROTC is not an
equal opportunily cmployer, ROTC
upholds a policy of leyal discrimination
against people basedl on (heir sexual andl af
fectional preferences. Homosexuals cannot
become commis.foned officers

[think itis unfair that thett policy toward
lesbian and ays fs not clearly stated in
ROTC advertisements. ROTC should make
this polfey elear 10 people before they get

involved in the program.

1am surprised that this university allows.
the presence of an organization which legal:
ly discriminates avains! homosextials. In (he
spring of 1980, President Vincent O'Leary
issued a Hon-discrimination policy based on

peuple’s sextial anid affectional prefercnees.
This policy statement and ROTC's
discriminatory policy are clearly in
conuruent

The university attempis to justify this ap:
parent coniiadiction by allowing leshians
and pays (0 lake milliary training courses
offered by ROTC on campus. ROTC train
ing goulrses die of fillle use to homosexual
students who are barred from the possibility
of ever becoming a commissioned military

Although the discriminatory recruitment

Hus, the university does not Uphold the
Policy Of non-diserimination issued by
Presiden! O'Leary. The rationale iy the ae

{tial commission bewins afier graduarion

Since ROTC is deceiving on the issue ot

J am Iving on my bed, counting what
money I have in my wallet so | can decide
If have enough for a bag of pot. Can 1
afford It and still have enough for food? It
shouldn't have to be this way,

My mind diifts back to the good old
days, The year was 1974, 1 was in my
freshman year at Geneseo State, My
friends and I would pool $20 and buy an
ounce. It's not like that anymore. Shit, to
even think about an ounce you have to
cough up 40 bucks. Sure, they put some
fame on it bul those $20 bags always did
the trick

I never smoked that much pot in high
school, When | did, it was usually at
party and I had been drinking so | never
really noticed the added high

However, this all was fo change
sometime after that fateful late summer day
when my family dropped me off at
Geneseo for the first time. | had been there

about three days and my roommate asked
me fo go over with him and meet the guy
next door, This uy pulled out a small
cellphane bag of pot. He informed us
that is was Panama Red. No big deal, |
thought; I'd smoked pot before.

Twenty minutes later I excused myself
and went to my room. I lied down on my
bed and waited to die.

‘Most of my other experiences with pot
were more pleasant. Asa matier of fact, 1

Besides my old friends, the village police

A few months afler that whacked out

It's good, because with prices the way

What folklovisis mean by “urban

any imudern anxiety or faney
“Alligators In The Sewer" is a typical ex

Of course vorlation of that sewer

Jani Brunvanid, a professor of English
at the University of Utah, has studied
urban folklore and published his fy
dings in Urban American Legends
(W.W. Norton & Cu,), He calls urban
legends “realistic stories that are said
have happened recently.” Such stories
usually have an ironic or supernatural
Iwist. They differ from fairy tales iny that
they are widely believed, and. from
myihs in thal they have happened in the

T legend tha Brunvand thinks is
“Iypically told in a darkened
donnitory room with fellow: students
sprawled on the funiture or the floor.”
A young couple was driving out towards
(Glaversville. Ithaca, Stanybrook) and
parked the car under a tree. The girl
decided it was time tv head back, but
ihe guy couldn't get the car started. So
Hie decides tv walk down the road to call
for help, She waits and waits. and he
dwsn't come back. And she keeps
wailing, geiting more and more
frightened. especially since she keeps
hearing “scratch scratch

Finally a cop comes by and helps hier
Gut of the car and tells her not to look
back. Of course, she dives, aud sees hier
boyfriend hanging from the tree. his feet

The story has many variants (such as
the girl's hair turning white — in fact
many popular legends end with a vic

share a quality. Many of the listeners

believe ii true, and know that it happer
ed “right near where | live.”

Many of the legends are attempts
reconcile fears of fulure shock. The
"Cat In The Microwave” concems a
Woman who made the mistake of
Washing her cal! and drying it in the
radarange, The kitty explades. A
“truer” version has the cat cooked from
the inside out, but In both cases, “itshap:

The oven also plays a part in the
*Hippy Babysitier” story. A young cou

for the evening, They cali later to hear
that all is well, that the sitter stuffed the

Another brand of legend draws its in
spiration not from horror tales or 1984
bul rather from the soap-opera ex
istence af everyday life. “The Sulid Ce
ment Cadillac’ is a famous example. A
man takes a break from his cement
mixing job ty drive home for a snack
He pulls up in the big mixer and sees a
shiny new Cadillac in the driveway
Walking around back, he peers into the
kitchen to see his wife sitting at the table
with another man. He goes back front
and dumps the liad uf cement inti the
Caddie’s window

Later. his frantic wife calls him at
work and explains the man in the ki
chen was a car salesman. and that she
bought the Cadillac for her husband
with money she'd been saving for years

ow do these legends spread
and who's doing the
spreading? Mass Media helps,

it seems, Ann Landers has dt
than her fair share of contributing 1
modern urban Apocrypha. Ann ran the
story of a syphilitic man with a blood
disease. a history of menial disvrders
anid a criminal record who wanted t
know if he should tell his fiance that he
was a Republican, She also helped
spread the story of “The Nude

Brunvand thinks peers are greal
isseminators of legend — teenagers
and students especially. The office, with

another breeding ground of urban
fulklore, as are religious and recrea

One major company even claimed

Tax Card Tantrum
Solution Needed

To the Editor:
It has recently come to my attention,

when trying to pick up my tax card, that
there have been numerous problems for
students with the accessibility of the
distribution and the obiaining of these
cards.

We, the student body, pay a mandatory
student activity fee of $77 at the beginning
of cach fall semester, This fee entitles us 10,
many student discounts which we cannot
reap the full benefits of because of delayed
distribution of these cards,

T feel that some money should be return-
ed from the original $77 fec, or hat some
sort of compensation should be made to
those stiidents who have run into complica-
tions receiving their cards,

Furthermore, the distribution of these
cards should be handled more efficiently in
future years,

Utopian University?

To the Editor:

This is a response to Matthew Bart
Rothman's letter which appeared in last Fri-
day's ASP. Mr, Rothman was addressing
previous column by Huberi-Kenneth
Dickey (Oct. 27) which criticized the state
of the modern university

Space: The Final Battlefield

The driver of a cement truck in southern California is wiping the
dust off his rear-view mirror, trying to get a better look at a
uniformed technician guiding him and his truck up a narrow dirt
ramp.

Two men who are watching the Earth serenely turning beneath
them engage in idle conversation as they perform routine ex-
periments in their winged spacecraft.

These incidents are more closely related than they may appear,
The two men in the spacecraft are the crew of the space shuttle that
is now circling ‘‘Spaceship Earth.” The cement truck driver is a
construction worker at Vandenburg Air Force Base, which will be
the site of the military’s own manned space center.

That’s right, the Pentagon is going to have its own space shuttles
to play with, That’s why Ronald Reagan didn’t totally cut NASA’s
buch — he thinks the space shuttle has military potential. And it

loes.

The head of the shuttle program is an Air Force general. The
military is pouring millions of dollars into its Vandenburg launch
facilities. Also, a group in the nation’s capital called High Fron-
tiers is pushing for the use of solar power satellites to exploit the
energy needs of the third world — sort of the OPEC of outer
space,

Tt seems that our government isn’t content with the Barth's sur-
face for its war making, so it has decided to expand outside the at-
mosphere.

Science hasn'! been this perverted by the Pentagon since the
Manhattan project. The development of space should be for the
benefit of everyone, not just a few stockholders of Martin
Marinetta, North American Rockwell, and other military/space
contractors,

Space technology can benefil everyone, Satellite technology has
helped in the study of environment, geography, and atmosphere of
other planets, giving insight into our own planet. It has helped to
Survey crop and weather patterns of Barth, giving us a chance to
ease the famine ng much of the world's population,

Unfortunately, space technology has also been used for stupid,
wasteful games like sending people to the moon and launching
recyclable spacecralis with the primary. intent of escalating, the
arms race ; ‘

Let's bring the'space program down to carth. The goal of this
iechnology should be (o help solve the serious environmental and
food problems we face, nol to become part of a dangerous military
build-up.

‘Brewer Playing a Rol

Basketball is a team game, and the teams thai win play it that way.

Spurs.

There hay been no better offensive basketball player over the past
four seasons than George Gervin. Despite a switch in position from
forward to guard, the Iceman has averaged 29.3 poinis per kame since
1977, He is the epitome of a scorer, and he is also the heart of the
Spurs. When he went down with an injury ten days ago, doom was
predicted, for the Spurs without Gervin were thought to be like Wilbur

Whiy have the Spurs been so successful in the absence of their best
player? For one, San Antonio has depilt. Not (oo many NBA {cams
