Presideniial Ballot Fixing Claimed

election commissioner on Indian
Quad, he replaced 15 votes for
Newmark's opponent, Sh
Ward, with the same number of
Newmark votes, Newmark subse-
quently won the election by a
90-vote margin.
Dayis, who graduated in May
and currently lives in Oceanside,
denied last night that he had stuffed,
the ballot box and said that he was
joking when he said that he did.

The uncertain future of Universi-

proposed budget cuts is very much
on the mind of SUNYA President
Vincent O'Leary. In an effort to
evaluate the funding requirements
of these programs, O'Leary ap-

“Obviously, when a budget is
passed, the University will have to
be prepared somehow to live with
the budget,"” said History Professor
Jall Birr, a committee member:
"i's very hard to tell what the
budger’s going to be like, But I
don’t mect very many people who
are convinced that the legislature
will restore all of the cuts that the
Governor made to the budget."
While O'Leary is concerned with
the fiscal ramifications of potential
ly severe cutbacks in Governor
Hugh C 1980-81 Executi
Budget, he siresses that the panel
findings may result in the injection
of funds into programs calling for
such action. Placing SUNYA pro-
grams into perspective will result in
financial additions for some and
reductions for others, he said:
“The Governor's budget
cut the University,’
mospheric Professor
Harry Hamilton, “The only thing
in_question now is the amount.
They're certainly not going to
restore the money. If a panel 1
assembled to look at resources, then
obviously the panel will have to
look into cuts.””
Although Birr claims that
O'Leary has not set a deadline for
the receipt of a committee report,
he indicated that recommendations
will probably closely follow the
release of the state budget.
“I think we're probably expected
to do the job fairly quickly, since
the expectations are that the
islature will approve the budget
by April 1,"" said Birr, "In the 28
years that I've been here, however,
there have been a couple of years
when the legislature didn't pass a
budget until sometime toward the
end of. May."*
According to Birr, committee
members will gain a broader
perspective of the University as th
examine the reports of panels
which they were not originally i
volved,
“I, for example, will have the op-
portunity {0 compare support ser-

sald,
Birr claims that many programs
will probably remain at their cur
rent funding levels, experiencing
neither cutbacks nor endowments.
“Most of the areas should pro
bably be stayed state,’ he said,
“Ii's obvious that there is not going

Committee member Susan Shei
Q of SUNYA's School of Social
Welfare stressed the importance of
O'Leary's committee as ‘ta way of
haying faculty input into some very
difficult budget decisions,’"
Hamilton is confident that the
group will succeed in this objective,
“This is an advisory group. It, by
definition, will achieve its pur-
pose,"’ he said, “Iis purpose is to

do that. It will meet; it will consider

beyond our present ken. F ut something we once had,
held preciously, had a falavin, trusted, swore py, died
for, that is gone,
It was nationalism; a commitment to the slogans, sym-
bols, and artifices of the United States. Nationalism, a
stubborn belief, was often most rigorously revered by
those who were ignorant of, or ignored, the values, con-
cepts, and ideals that the Founding Fathers expressed. It
is harder to sit down and understand Jefferson,
Hamilton, Madison, Adams, Paine, Franklin, and
Washington than it is to get up and march in a parade
waving the flag, singing the anthems, blessing the virgin
Statue of Liberty. An inevitable inverse ratio exists bet-
Ween nationalistic fervor and true understanding; the
more slogan swearing, the less appreciation of the ideas
in the Constitution; the more red, white, and blue, the
less Locke, Rousseau, and Pericles.
Yet today, in an interim between nationalistic periods,
We see true Revolutionary spirit in the Anti-Nuke, Con-
servationist, Anti-Corporate Tyranny and the other pro-
test groups that most of us pass by in the Campus Center.
The freedom to dissent from popular belief, the will-
ingness to accept change when necessary, and the op-
portunity to grow are the principles of Revolutionary
America
Let's hope we have lost a naive and blind trust in the
superficial pomp which some have used to replace the
true American ideology. Our only hope for the future is
to return to the basic precepts of this still experimental
democrasy. We must commit ourselves to and respect
everybody's right to change, freedom, and opportunity.

Gustave Warbler. Possessed with an insatiable +
curiosity and appetite for Ife, Gustave grew

starled out one day to see the world, He
parted reluctantly with his father, Franz, on
the porch of their humble home,

Gustave drank, watchful of the old man:
“Old man, would you not like some cool
clear water to rejuvenate your tired erumbling
bones?" Gustave graciously offered.
“Young man, these bones are weary, yes:
But I for one know the difference beiween
refreshing water and rancid goose piss,”
replied the wise man, pointing to a flock of
geese resting upstream of Gustave's yellow
ips.

to have some meaning and direction! The old
man opened his mouth and a foul noise was

cutting thru the calm windless alr.
“Old man, you need a bath, Your actions

Jeaned forward and tapped him on his archale

rather loudly, like a cow in heat, thought
young Gustave,
{take this to be my direction, The wise old
devil has conveyed his message clearly.” As
clear as an unmuddied lade, thought impres-
sloriable Gustave with a smile.
“Seek thy pleasure,” muttered Gustave as
he breathed in the fresher upwind alr. Soon
he came upon a brewery, whereupon he pur-
chased a keg of the finest Molson’s Ale to be
had: He wheeled the liquid pleasure to
tremendous shade tree and, lying under the
aged boughs, began sucking greedily at the
‘opén tap. The hours passed and Gustave
grew soused.
Gradually, a seedy looking character ap

“spite thy tongue, scoundrel,” replied the
cunning wolf, Lifting the keg high above
Guistave's decaying head he crowned him "Sir
Waste.’ Next, he turned Gustave upside down
and shook him, whilest a few bits of deng fell
upon the cool grass below.
When Gustave restored his head and
withdrew the heavy crown, the traveller was
nowhere fo be found, Thought Gustave, “This
is surely.a sign from heaven. Dear God, thank
you for this merciful sign. 1 shall waste no
more, | shall dedicate my humble life to the
helping of my fellow man. | shall teach the
wicked to be good.”
‘And with that he staggered down the road,
Jeaving the Molson’s to water the shade tree.
True, he was penniless, but he felt himself to
be much wiser than ever before. For now he
had direction and he knew there to be a mean:

No sooner had he resolved himself to better
mankind, when he heard great shrieks of
dismay and terror coming from the cliff which
overlooked the sea.
Moving with great speed he came upon an
obese sort of man holding on for dear life toa
knotted root, which loosened with each pass-
ing moment.
Now is my chance, thought Gustave, for
happiness and contentment. “Dear God,
thank you for your guiding light!”
“Yon asshole. Quit thy praying and give me
a hand, !am in great perl, for I feel this root is
about to give way!” bellowed the man thru fat-
ty lungs,
“Have no fear, my brother. You are saved

But The Reality Of A Cover-Up Is No ‘‘Joke”’
We urge you to read the front page, and read it carefully, The matter at hand is of
crucial importance and will affect the present framework of student leadership on
this campus. Let Student Association and your Central Council representatives
know how you feel about this issue.
According to various members of SA, ballots were switched during last May's
run-off election between SA President Lisa Newmark and her opponent Sharon
Ward by then Acting Assistant Election Commissioner Mitch Davis, While the
number of ballots involved apparently would not have affected the election's out-
come, and while Davis has recently claimed that the ballot switching did not in fact
actually occur, it was the subsequent knowledge and cover-up of this incident by
high level SA officials that is the most shocking aspect of this horrendous affair.
Within hours after the incident, six officials learned of the alleged ballot fraud
and, under the direction of present SA Comptroller Craig Weinstock and SA Inter-
nal Affairs Chair Jim Mitchell, a consensus was reached to tell neither Newmark nor
the election commissioner. From this began the growth of a widespread cover-up
within the organization whereby both Weinstock and Mitchell (who both hold
powerful SA positions) failed to institute an investigation into the election fraud, in-
stead opting for silence.
Over the past ten months, member after member of SA has learned of the inci
dent; all failed to question Newmark (who apparently still did not know) nor check
the charge’s validity, This passive inaction by the very ‘leaders’ entrusted by
SUNYA students to appropriate three-quarters of a million dollars of our tax money
and represent us in the academic community, can not easily be pardoned
Despite Mitchell's contention that if Davis never switched ballots then no judicial
action need be taken, the harsh reality is that such a lack of ethical behavior by our
student leaders in such a conspiracy must be responded to.
How a dozen leaders could morally justify withholding such knowledge from the
SA president puzzles us profusely, How Lisa Newmark never learned of the charade
that her closest advisors were involved in forces us to question the control she has on
the association as a whole
In an effort to combat the widespread Watergate mentality this cover-up has
fostered; to try to restore honesty and integrity as central components in campus
politics, the ASP recommends the following actions:
*The immediate resignation of Craig Weinstock as SA Controller. 1f only half the
information obtained concerning Weinstock's role in the cover-up is true, then there
is certainly little room for Weinstock in lership position in SA. In addition to
conspiracy, leading a cover-up and neglecting the responsibility of an investigation,
threatening students with physical violence is a part of politics we had hoped had
becn long layed to rest
*The immediate resignation of Jim Mitchell a
as his removal from both University Senate
al Affairs as well
chairman of Inter
nid Central Council, Like Weinstock,
he played a leading role in the cover-up, made a mockery of the Internal Affairs
Committee and showed the same blatant disregard for political integrity and hones-
ty.
Dismissal of Mark Lafayette from University Senate and Central Council. Though
not inyolved as heavily in the conspiracy, both Lafayette and Jim Castro-Blanco
were led like sheep by Mitchell and Weinstock. In addition, Lafayette and Castro-
Blanco have recently decided to run in this coming year's election for the positions
of SA vice president and president, respectively. We urge these two to withdraw
their names from consideration due to a displayed lack of leadership qualities.
*Unfortunately, little can be done to the remaining students primarily inyolved in
the conspiracy. Davis, Ron Frank and Abbie Havkins have all departed from SA.
Let their actions rest heavily on their consciences,
*Of ihe several SA members who learned of the incident at various times following
the May election, justice cries out but must be tempered by reality; for to decimate
the ranks of Student Association would result only in students being the losers once
again, We sharply criticize their poor judgment in not exposing it regardless of the
time element and hope that they have realized that honesty must be a major tenet in
any politican’s political philosophy. Upon learning of the incident, Central Council
members should have pursued it with a vigor and singlemindedness at all costs, A
cleansing of SA — not silence — should have been their decision,
It is time for the legislative branch to regain its independence so as to assert itself
more in checking the executive branch, The oath taken by Craig Weinstock on
Wednesday as a new member of Council was a flagrant disregard for the role of the
different SA branches. This was turned into an even greater insult considering the
fact that a prime topic on the agenda was the election cover-up, What is an executive
leader doing in the legislative branch? And why wasn't his induction postponed until
4 proper investigation could be conducted?
The election process is a disprace, 1t must be tightened and heavily monitored by
impartial people at all times, Under no circumstances should Ward or Newmark
campaigners have been allowed within throwing distance of those ballots, While the
question of whether the ballot switching was a joke!” remains to be answer
must be emphasized that it is not the principal issue, We have a conspirac
resulting cover-up, and the apparent crumbling in the very ethical fiber of Student
Association,
Newmark has recently appointed a commission to investigate the incident. In
hoping that the findings are fair and accurate, we ask that the results be open, public
and published. Newmark can and must prove herself to be a strong and capable
leader, She should contemplate well the type of people she turns to for help and ad-
vice, Choosing the right help at this juncture will be the true key to reconstruction,
Hopefully, this will all be done so SA can get back to the business of looking out for
the interests of 15,000 students and readying for the new elections, only five weeks

Cruising
To the Editor:
Thousands of gays have not protested the
filming and showing of Cruising on the basis
of paranoia, as Jim Dixon suggests in his
senseless review, They are protesting the fact
that Hollywood seldom makes films dealing
with gays and has chosen a clearly negative
aspect of gay life to exploit. The film leaves
the impression that backroom bars and
sadomasochistic sex are widely accepted and
practiced among homosexuals. Gays

To the people who made it to the Rafters
later that night, I hope you all had a good

From The :
Writings, [3]
There Is only one God and only one Truth,
That Truth has been revealed to man many
times. Each time men have distorted it so
thal a new revelation was required. Sin
followers of older revelations often did not
believe the newer ones, one result of this pro
cess has been the forming of many religions
each with a fragment of God's truth mixed
with man-made ideas. The Writings claim to
bé the revelation that ‘gets it all together’
unifying all the Truth fragments and pro
viding a tuller explanation of spiritual reality
than has ever been given to man.
The divinely inspired parts of the Bible are all
a vast parable, containing deep and
fascinating symbolic spiritual symbolic
meanings. Seen in light of these inner mean
ings, the puzzling and apparently inconsis
tent statements of Scripture, its many ap
parently cruel and strange stories, and its
great. amount of apparently trivial detail all
take on a dramatically new aspect. In this
spiritual light, the Bible can be seen far more
clearly than ever before to be as full of
goodness and profound truth as would be ex.
pected in teachings of the God of the
universe.
Creation itself is & parable, a living physical
symbol of deeper spritual realities. The com.
plex and beautiful relationships of physical
ecosystems ate symbols of the even more
complex and beautiful relationships of the
iritual which in turn is a

Spikers Come Closer, But Fall To West Point
by Paul Schwartz
After the tough five game match
was over, the coach and players of
the Albany State volleyball team
were in agreement. They had just
been defeated by West Point Tues-
day night in University Gym, and
the feelings on the Albany side were
yerbalized by their coach, Ted Earl,
“We had a team meeting after the
match and we all felt that we could:
have beaten them, and the closeness
‘of the scores proves it, It was a
disappointing loss.”
Even feeling they should have
beaten West Point was a positive
situation for the Danes, Earl
described West Point as “probably
the number three team in the east,””
and they had already handed
Albany a convincing setback when
the two squads met earlier inthe
This time, West Point
registered an 18-16, 13-15, 15-8,
75, 1115 victory, dropping the
spikers’ record to 9-3 for the
season,
Surprisingly, the closely-
contested match did not start out
with either team displaying an
abundance of quality volleyball,
Although the: res in the first two
Bames were as tight as, ossib’+,
there was no real oi dling play,
“Both teams started ow slowly,”
said Earl. “The first two eames
were marked by errors by 00th
teams — stupid errors neither team
should have been making."
Despite the sloppy play, the

Danes could have put themselves
a dominant position in the second
game. Albany had already won the
first game, and they led 8-2 in the
second, Another victory and the
Danes would have had West Point
(on the-ropes. But the visitors ran
off-a string of points and were able
to take what Earl tabbed ‘'the
pivotal game.’”
Both teams heated up in the next
three games. An aggressive Dane
squad kept West Point on the
defensive, winning the third game
with a solid performance.
‘We played very well in the third
game,"' explained Earl. ‘*We forced
them into errors, and it was our
finest game all year."”
Albany faltered in the final two
games, as West Point ‘came out
after us,"" according to Earl. West
Point raced to a 7-2 Jead in the
fourth game, but the Danes came
back to tie the score at 7-7, before
West Point erupted for the next
eight points and the win,
Earl called the fifth game ‘a car:
bon copy of the first gam
Albany found themselves trailing,
11-7, but four consecutive Dane
points everied the score and shook
West Point, “We forced them to
call a time out after we tied it up,"
said Earl, West Point then tallied
the next three points, and after four
secured their victory,
side-outs,
15411,
“] thought we served (hem excep:
tionally well,"* commented Earl
“In the games we won we were able
tg serve the ball to their poorer
passers, I felt Gary Becker played
‘well — he made a lot of blocks, and
Rob Harrington also did a good
job. West Point was not able to
take advantage of his height like
they did the first time we played
them,”
After facing Springfield yester-
day, the Danes host Cornell and
Syracuse tomorrow. Syracuse
recently won the B-open in Cor-
tland, and Cornell is
quality volleyball team," according
to Earl. “They are very small, but
they are quick and they play good
defense, We will have to play well
to beat them,"
Albany Swimmers Notch Fourth In SUNYAC’s
continued from back page
continuously diving to perfect all
aspects of diving. 1 spent a lot of
time refining my dives and picking
the ones I'll use for the SUNYACs.
I'm very happy with the fifth place
finish in the one meter and’ 1
couldn't be more happy with my
third in the three meter event. Our
diving coach Bruce Sickles devoted
a lot of time and without his amaz-
ing knowledge and effort, 1
wouldn't have done half as well as 1
did.”
Moving on to the second day of
competition, Ahern set the first of
{Wo new school records he personal-
ly broke as he won the consolation
finals, placing seventh in 1:48.71,
“1 was kind of disappointed that 1
inissed the finals, 1 lost out by six-
hundredths of one second, But, 1
pul my mind to it and I'm really
happy to win the consolations,
said Ahern
Heter swam the 100 yard butterf-
ly in $4,89 to take second in the
championship race, Heter also took
another second place finish, on the
same day no less, in the 100 yard
breaststroke in 1:02.53, breaking
yet another Albany school record,
“11's the best one day performan
I've ever seén,"” said White. Te
mate Shore placed fourth in the
same event to make both Heter and
Shore qualifiers for the nationals in
the 100 yard breaststroke, ‘I'm
very excited about the whole situa
tion,” said White. ‘We've never
had an All-American swimmer
from Albany and now these guys
haye got that chance.!?
Also scheduled in Friday's
events, the 800 freestyle relay team
— Roberts, Helter, Dave Zybala
nd Ahern, As a team they placed
fifth in a time of 7:34,31. ‘It was a
pretty good effort. The one possible
determinant that kept us from plac
ing higher was Heter’s two previous
events the same day — but Frank
really did pull through,” said
Roberts,
Jim Colgan placed 12th in
1:00.24 in the 100 yard backstroke:
“1 was happy just to place in the
event with the competition on
hand, | missed breaking « minute
by a fraction, 1 really wanted to
break it bad but my time was my
best and I'm happy to have scored
points for the team,'*said Colgan.
Bonawitz placed fourth in the same
100 yard backstroke in $7.97
hoped to get a third. My. turnover
‘on the turns wasn't up, yet con:
sidering how I felt, I'm pleased with
my time and my fourth place
finish,”” said Bonawitz.
The final day of competition
opened up with Ahern’s second
school record in as many days as he
got a third in the 100 yard freestyle
event in 49.36 seconds, Ahern com-
mented on his record and competi
tion overall: “I thought that we
could break some school records
here at Potsdam. The competition
really fired us up and made winning,
times record times."”
Bonawitz repeated his fourth
place finish in the 100 backstroke
with another fourth in the 200
backstroke in 2:06.84. “Steve's two
fourths was a truly tremendous and
outstanding effort,"" said White.
‘A Heler-Shore combination plac:
ed fifth and sixth, respectively, in
the 200 yard breaststroke. ‘Frank
and 1 had some real stiff competi-
tion in the race, especially from the
two Potsdam competitors. I'm kind
of disappointed with my sixth
although 1 did give it my best shot,”
said Shore.

Ron White in summation of his
men's swim team’s fourth place
showing at the SUNYAC cham-
pionships last weekend in Poisdam.
‘The Danes finished a three-day
tournament with a persgnal record-
breaking total of 203 points, “Last
Year we came home with 155 points.
I'm ecstatic over this year's
results,"” said White.
Cortland won the entire meet
with a score of 424, followed by
Geneseo with 396, Potsdam (361),
Albany (203), University of Buffalo
(149), Binghamton (136), Oswego
(107), Fredonia (76), Buffalo State
(56), and rounding out the field of

most people could ever imagine.

three races a day.
The most eminent psychologic
preparation for the meet is the ac-
tual shaving of the hair on the body
highlighted by the ultimate — shav-
ing the head, ‘'Shaving makes your
body smoother. It makes your skin
very much like thal of a porpoise,""
id Dane swimmer Frank Heter
“Shaving the hair on your body ex-
poses the nerve endings by shaving
away the initial Jayer of skin, The
water goes over your skin giving
you a beiter, and definitely the
ultimate, fee! in the water."”
To give an indication of how im-
portant shaving the head was to the
swimmers competing in the
SUNYACs — th tire teams of
both Cortland and Potsdam along
with a vast majority of Genesco's

individual for the Danes was Joe

“My goal was to just make the

Diver Bill Derkasch ended the
first day of action by placing a very
well-deserved fifth in the one meter
diving with a combined score of
314,82 points, “Billy has a solid
performance, His diving is a big
breakthrough in Albany State div-
