Speaker predicts N. Korean president is alive

By Angelina Wang
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

On a night marked by speculation sur-
rounding the reported death of North
Korean President Kim Il Sung, Peace Pro-
ject held a discussion Monday on U.S.
foreign policy objectives in Korea.

New bus route
to Guilderland
stops at Gym

By Nicole Nogid
STAFF WRITER

A SUNYA student’s definition of ‘up-
town”? may soon go beyond Crossgates
Mall now that a new bus route links the
University’s uptown campus to a number
of Guilderland locations on Western
Avenue.

Costing .25 cents per ride, the bus
operates Friday through Sunday and of-
fers “transportation from the University
Gym to stops including Stuyvesant Plaza,
Crossgates Mall and Guilderland’s
Loehman’s Plaza.

According to Guilderland’s Director of
Community Services Dennis Moore, the
toute is a pilot project designed to alleviate
traffic on Western Avenue (Rt. 20) and
provide transportation for community
members who don’t have cars, especially
students, senior citizens, and grade school
children.

The bus arrives at the Gym hourly.on
Fridays between 6 and 10 p.m., Saturdays
from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays from
noon to 6 p.m.

Bus schedules are available at the Cam-
pus Center Information desk.

Moore called the service a ‘new ex-
perience for the town of Guilderland,”
Moore said.

“This is an experiment to see if it will
work out. If it is successful after six mon-
ths we will consider expanding the ser-
vice,”’ he said.

The $47,000 bus constitutes the one
route offered by the Town of Guilderland
Bus Service, which began Nov. 1.

According to Moore, the bus is smaller
than the Capital District Transit Authority
buses. “‘It is a quick and easy way get to
Crossgates and it only costs a quarter.””

“‘We’d like [SUNY students] to use it,”
said Moore. ‘The route is for the students,

Easter, a member of the Committee for a
New Korea Policy, speak on how Kim’s
unconfirmed death could affect both
North and South Koreans.

The South Korean Defense Ministry an-
nounced Monday that either the North
Korean president had died, or that a power
struggle had begun in the Communist na-

tion. North Korean officials denied all
reports on Kim’s death.

Easter, whose committee is a project
working out of the Albany Friends
Meeting (Quakers), a social action-center,
said, “‘My own guess is that Kim is not
dead.”

The only reason why South Korean of-

ficials might be motivated to spread a
possible rumor, Easter said, would be “‘to
create uncertainties among the South
Korean population so that people will
folerate the current crackdown by the
opposition.””

The reported death of Kim comes two
weeks after over 1,200 South Korean
students were arrested as pro-Communists
after being tear-gassed by 8,000 riot police
who surrounded the university building
where they were meeting to discuss the
question of U.S. involvement in South
Korea.

“If Kim I] Sung has died it is going to be
a real blow to the North Korean people,”
said Easter, adding that there is a great
deal of affection for Kim by the North
Koreans.

“T don’t know whether he is dead or
not,” said Easter. An answer will come
Tuesday, when Kim is scheduled to appear
at a meeting, he added.

“My own guess is that he will show up,”’
he said.

Sung has been president since 1948,
making him the the longest-ruling living
leader, according to Easter.

Easter, who was invited by Peace Pro-
ject, was originally scheduled to speak last
week, but the meeting had to be postponed
until Monday.

“We chose Korea as an example because
we wanted to educate ourselves on Asia,””
said Peace Project co-chair Tom Gaveglia,
adding that the current tensions in Korea
had no bearing on their choice.

According to Easter, the Committee for
a New Korea Policy focuses on what the
United States can be doing to promote
human rights in Korea and elsewhere.

“T am here to share information on
Korea because we are glad to have the op--
portunity to speak to groups,’’ said Easter.

Peace Project, a group funded by Stu-
dent Association, is planning to sponsor
more speakers on foreign policy in a varie-
ty of areas for the future, said Gaveglia.

Campus Center gala planned by SA

By Colleen Desiaurier
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Although last year’s Gamble Fling cost
Student Association about $1,000, SA of-
ficials predict better organization will
make “Las Vegas Nite’ on Dec. 4
successful.

Currently in planning stages, the event
would have casino games in the Campus
Center Ballroom, horse racing games in
the Assembly Hall, a comedy night in the
Patroon Room, and a party in the
Rathskeller.

According to SA Programming Director
Mark Perlstein, nine SA-funded groups
will contribute both volunteers and money
to the event. SA will pay for publicity and
overhead expenses, he said.

Perlstein said the combination of these
groups should bring more students to the
event.

“‘What works is getting more people out
{to the event],”’ said Perlstein. “‘The more
people you get to be involved in it, the
more people show up.””

A $5 admission price will include admis-
sion to all events in the Campus Center,
said Perlstein.

However, anybody can go to the “‘Party
in the Rat,”’ he said. ‘‘If at least 1,000 peo-
ple show up, we’ll at least break even.’”

All quad boards and four class councils
will assist SA in organizing the event, and
‘each will sponsor a different function of
the night, Perlstein said.

Hillary Rosenstein, State Quad Board
President, said the quad boards are spen-
ding a combined $2,500 of their program-
ming funds. ‘‘The money we make goes
back into our income line,’’ said
Rosenstein.

Two professional comedians will be
hired to perform one or two shows for the
Comedy Nite, Perlstein said. SA will spend
$500 for the show, he said.

The class councils of 88 and ’89 will
sponsor Night at the Races, according to
Class of ’88 President Maria Maglione.

The Night at the Races will consist of

) “sealed kits’? containing 16 mm films of

real horse races, said Perlstein. ‘‘There’s
no way someone can know the outcome of
the races beforehand.””

In the Rathskeller, the classs councils
will be holding ‘‘Class Wars,” in which
various competitions among the classes
will be held as part of ‘‘Party in the Rat.’’
Food specials will also be offered during
the night, said Maglione.

The idea of class wars is to “‘try to get as
many people from all the classes,’’ said
Maglione.

Classes can receive points for winning
different categories according to
Maglione, such as which class has the most .
spirit. ‘‘Stupid things just to get everyone
psyched,’’ she said.

NEWS BRIEFS

‘The Word ¢ ¥

Berlintrial begins _

Berlin
(AP) Two Palestinians, who allegedly
claimed that explosives used in the March
bombing of a German-Arab friendship
club came through Syria’s embassy in East
Berlin, went on trial Monday charged with
attempted murder.

West German officials hope the pro-
ceedings will shed some light ‘on Syria’s
purpoted role in international terrorism
and_-say the case will figure heavily in the
future of West German-Syrian
relationships.

Berlin justice officials say the suspects
have confessed to the bombing and said
the explosives came from Syria’s embassy
in East Berlin and were set with the help of
an embassy expert. The defendants have
not filed any formal plea.

Officials believe the attack was carried
out because the German-Arab society sup-
ports Palestine Liberation Organization
chief Yasser Arafat, while Syria supports
PLO rebels opposed to Arafat.

Deals harm talks
London

(AP) Church of England envoy Terry
Waite said Monday that U.S. disclosures
of secret arms deals with Iran had com-
plicated his efforts to free hostages held in
Lebanon.

Asked at a news conference about Presi-
dent Reagan’s acknowledgement last week
that U.S. arms went to Iran, Waite said:
“The revelation of that fact, insofar as it is
a fact...has made the job of a mediator
such as myself complicated.”

Waite, special envoy of the Most Rev.
Robert Runcie, the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, spoke to reporters after he, Runcie
and three freed American hostages discuss-
ed ways of securing the release of foreign
hostages still held in Lebanon. American
representatives of the Episcopal,
Presbyterian and Catholic churches also
participated.

Soviets open session

Moscow
(AP) Defense Minister Sergei L. Sokolov,
too ill to attend Revolution Day celebra- |
tions in Red Square 10 days ago, joined
Soviet leader Mikhail $. Gorbachey and
other top officials at the opening of the
Supreme Soviet fall session Monday.

The 75-year-old marshal appeared alert
throughout an hour-long speech by Plann-
ing Chief Nikolai Talyzin, who outlined
the government’s budget for 1987.

The agenda adopted by the 1,500
deputies, who are meeting in the grand
Kremlin palace, includes discussion of

draft legislation that would allow some
forms of free enterprise. No details were
released on the extent of the proposed self-
employment initiatives, but they appear to
be part of Gorbachev’s effort to boost in-
dustrial performance through reforms and
better productivity.

Sokolov last appeared in public Oct. 10,
when he accompanied other top officials
to a Moscow airport to see Gorbachev, the
Soviet Communist Party secretary general,
off to Iceland for the summit with Presi-
dent Reagan.

The Nation:
Union protests plant

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Some union leaders fear racism is
fueling a construction union campaign
pretesting the use of non-union workers to
build a new Japanese auto plant in
Kentucky.

The campaign, which is causing dissen-
sion in union circles, is focusing on an
$800 million Toyota factory under con-
struction in Georgetown, Ky., where
Toyota officials and a Japanese contractor

are demanding U.S. workers ‘‘give up
their rights under America’s labor laws
and work the Japanese way.”’

The 15-union AFL-CIO Building and
Construction Trades Department has
scheduled a rally today at the Japanese
Embassy in Washington, D.C. to protest
the Toyota demands.

Shultz halts shipments

Washington, D.C.
(AP) The president’s national security ad-
viser remains optimistic that more
hostages may be released in Lebanon,
while Secretary of State George Shultz says
he would not send any more arms to Iran.

“I don’t see any need for further
signals’ of U.S. good faith to moderate
Iranians, Shultz said Sunday, adding that
he did not have the authority to speak for
the entire Reagan administration.

Asked whether more arms would be
sent, Shultz said on CBS-TV’s “Face the
Nation,” ‘Under the circumstances of
Tran’s war with Iraq, its pursuit of ter-
rorism, its associations with those holding
our hostages, I would certainly say as far
as I’m concerned, no.”

Sex choice declined

New York
(AP) A boy or a girl? If Americans could
choose the sex of babies, nearly three-
quarters would refuse the opportunity and
let nature take its course, according to a
Media General-Associated Press Poll.

Overall, the poll of 1,464 adult
Americans found strong resistance to
choosing the sex of babies, a choice now
possible because of advances in “‘test
tube’’ fertilization.

Asked what they thought about parents
being able to choose the sex of babies, 49
percent in the Media General-AP poll said
it was bad idea and 29 percent said it was
good. Twenty-two percent weren’t sure.

When asked, “If you were able to
choose the sex of a child, would you
choose a boy or a girl?” 27 percent of the
Trespondents said they would choose a boy,
16 percent said a girl, and 57 percent had
no preference or were unsure.

Agencies work apart

Albany
(AP) A legislative commission has charged
that state efforts to prevent drug and
alcohol abuse are weakened by the failure
of two state agencies to coordinate their
programs.

The Legislative Commission on Expen-
diture Review found that two-thirds of
local agancies surveyed agreed that the
state Division of Alcoholism and Alcohol
Abuse and the state Divison of Substance
Abuse Services ‘‘generally do not work
together,’’ said Assemblyman Arthur
Kremer, (D-Nassau), chairman of the
commission, on Sunday.

However, in a written response to the

| audit, alcoholism division director Robert

Shear said that ‘‘most of the information
related is three years old and does not
reflect significant changes in activities dur-
ing the interim.”

| Student dies in crash

Amherst
(AP) A car carrying four University of
Buffalo students hit a patch of ice and col-
lided with another car, leaving one student
dead and six others seriously injured,
authorities said.

Lt. Thomas Gould of the Amherst
police said the accident occured at about
11 p.m. Friday on Millersport Highway in
the town of Amherst.

A car carrying four students was north-
bound on the highway when it hit a Patch
of ice and the dfiver lost control and
swerved into the oncoming lane,

Gould said there was no alcohol involv-
ed in-the accident, nor were the two cars
speeding.

Group signs nabbed

A total of three banners were stolen
lover the weekend from the Campus
Center lobby, according to Jim
'Doellefeld, director of campus life.

The Jewish Student Coalition (JSC)
lwas one organization mentioned in a
report given to Doellefeld on Monday
concerning the thefts.

Doellefeld said the report stated that
four people studying in the second floor
gallery area at 5:30 p.m. last Friday,
witnessed a college-age man with a
notebook which read “‘steal the JSC
/banner.””

A search for the man will begin, said
Doellefeld, adding that ‘‘if someone who
was not authorized were to be ap-
prehended stealing a banner, he or she
would have to deal with a referral by the
judicial system at the very least.””

“‘Whoever is stealing [the banners] is
doing it at a great cost to the organiza-
tions. This is an example of a lack of
respect for the community and a
manifestation of poor citizenship,” said
Doellefeld.

Study in Costa Rica

A new:study abroad program will be
available at the University of Costa Rica
in San Jose for the spring semester.

The program is possible because of
grants from the United States Informa-
tion Agency (USIA) aimed at encourag-
ing faculty and secondary school student
exchanges between the U.S. and Costa
Rica, said Gary Gossen, chairman of the
Anthropology department.

“Tt would be a wonderful opportunity
for our students,”’ said Gossen adding
that Costa Rica does not conform to stu-
dent stereotypes of Latin America.

The program is open to juniors or
seniors who have at least a two year
background in college-level Spanish, said
Katharine Krebs, assistant to the director
of international programs.

Seminars need input

Attendance at the Health and Safety
Issues informational seminars has in-
creased, but there is still room for more
interested students, said Dr. Norman
Dennis, medical director of Student
Health Services.

‘There have been lively discussions at
the seminars,’ he said, but, “‘It would be
nice to have the students’ input on what
they would like to learn,’’ said Dennis.

“The seminar on sexually transmitted
diseases was the best attended. About
three dozen students were there. Eight to
ten students attended the other
seminars,”’ said Dennis.

“I would like to have students more in-
volved and aware of health issues. The
University Health Center wants to have a
more educational role,’’ said Dennis.

Women of SUNYA will soon join the
ranks of the Men of USC, as fraternity
Simga Pi Epsilon prepares to publish the
first ‘‘Women of SUNY Albany’’
calendar.

The calendar will feature 13 female
SUNYA students photographed at various
locations both on and off campus, accor-
ding to Sig Ep President David Kleinman.

Fraternity members will be selling copies
of the calendar for $6.50 in the Campus
Center lobby beginning Dec. 1, said
Kleinman.

Kleinman said the fraternity produced
the calendar in order to ‘‘promote school
spirit and give an accurate account of stu-
dent life at the University.”

All the locations and outfits worn by the
women were chosen by the fraternity. ‘“We
tried to keep it all in good taste,”’ said
Kleinman.

The 13 women were selected from a total
of 60 applicants who auditioned for the
fraternity.

Sig Ep recruited women to audition
through posters placed on campus, and

SA rakes in $60 for charity

By Pam Conway
‘NEWS EDITOR

Four Student Association leaders grabb-
ed rakes and garbage bags this weekend to
make good on a promise.

Last semester, Albany resident Helen
Gallagher put in a high bid of $60 to win a
yard clean-up auctioned during and SA
fundraiser.

However, student leaders never got the
chance to perform the clean-up.

‘One weekend, there was rain and bad
weather,”’ said last year’s SA President
Steve Gawley. “‘The last weekend we hada
chance to do it was the same weekend as
Guinness Day, so there was no free
weekend.””

The auction was held to raise money for
a neighborhood resource center which had
recently lost its $60,000 United Way fun-
ding, said Gawley.

So to fulfill SA’s obligation, Gawley set
off Saturday for Gallagher’s home at 111
Winnie St. accompanied by SA President
Paco Duarte, SA Minority Affairs Coor-
dinator Mark Turner, and SA Elections
Commissioner Lisa Risolo.

The four arrived at 10:30 AM, and ac-
cording to Duarte, when they finished
three-and-a-half hours later they had col-
lected 51 bags of leaves.

“‘We had the best time,” said Duarte.
‘Mrs. Gallagher served us drinks, coffee,
and Munchkins. We really felt great after
He

Although Gawley said he raked up ‘‘a
lot damn leaves,’’ he also said the clean-up
was a “‘good cause. Nothing but good
could come out of a morning like that.””

Gawley termed Gallagher ‘‘very cool’’
and said she was ‘‘really appreciative and
ecstatic with the job we did.”’

Duarte said that in adition to tidying
Gallagher’s yard, Saturday’s clean-up also
made a statement about students’ relation-
ship with Albany residents.

“We wanted to relate a more accurate
picture of students,’’ said Duarte. ‘The ci-
ty enforced the grouper’law because they
see a bad image of students.’’

Duarte said he wanted to show “‘there
are very few bad apples who don’t get
along with the University and city’? who
damage the reputation of all SUNYA
students.

“I would most definitely do another
clean-up,” said Duarte.

However, Gawley suggested the next
outing not be held in the fall. “If the leaves
were still on the trees, it would have been
an easier clean-up,”’ he said. Oo

asked to participate,”’ said Kleinman.

**We tried to achieve an even representa-
tion of the women by class year, major,
and quad,”’ he added.

Before appearing in the calendar, each
woman signed a legal release.

The ‘‘contract’’ is designed to protect
both the fraternity and the women, said
Kleinman. The fraternity cannot sell or in
any way use a photo for anything other
than the calendar, according to the
contract.

Dorm cable TV
still under Univ.
consideration

By Colleen Cross

Plans for installing cable television in
SUNYA dorms are progressing as
University and student leaders explore
opportunities and costs.

“We're still in an exploratory stage,”
said Henry Kirchner, acting vice presi-
dent for Student Affairs. ““A number of
things on the managerial and technical
side are being done.”

The possibility of installing cable TV
began last semester when Student
Association enlisted SUNYA’s student-
run marketing group, Association of
College Entrepreneurs (ACE), to con-
duct a survey to gauge student response
to the issue.

Results of the survey showed that 91
percent of the 1,500 students polled were
in favor of cable TV installation.

Since that time, Capitol Cablevision
has been granted a request to “‘come on
the campus for a technical review,”’ said
Kirchner,

“Thescope of his project keeps ex-|
panding,” said Kirchner. ‘‘We need to
ask ourselves how big a jump into the
technical world we are going to take.”

Former SA Programming Director
Betty Ginzburg, who was involved in last
year’s survey, had estimated the cost of
installation campus-wide to be about
$500,000.

In the survey, students were asked to
consider a 9-channel package which
would include ABC, CBS, NBC, Home
Box Office (HBO), MTV, Entertainment
Sports Network Program (ESPN),
WPIX, Cable News Network (CNN),
and either WOR or USA Network.

Meanwhile, other options for the cable
installation are currently being explored.

“Originally we wanted the ability to
have a closed circuit [TV] station,”’ Ginz-
burg said.

As the possibilities were studied, ‘‘we
found cable television would provide us
with closed circuit wires,’’ she said.

Besides the closed circuit system,
which could be used for either an an-
nouncement board or for programming,
University officials are considering other
uses for the installation.

“Direct wiring of students’ personal
computers to the [University] main-
frame, and the possibility of having our
own phone system run throughout the
whole university’? are ideas being in-
vestigated, said Kirchner.

‘*As wires are being run for cable we’re
considering wiring for the telephones and
computers at the same time,”’ he said.

Individual cost for cable hookup was
estimated last year at between $20 and
$35 per student, depending upon whether:
the service was in a suiteroom, bedroom,
or both.

However, Kirchner said “‘There are
still too many variables to provide an|
estimate of the cost to students.””

“If we are able to organize 5,000 or
6,000 customers in a systematic way,”’ he
said, ‘‘the price should be significantly;
lower than if a person subscribed alone.””

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
Students have become less in-
terested in liberal arts, are more
vulnerable to job pressures, are
probably less liberal but aren’t
necessarily more conservative
than they were 20 years ago, ac-
cording to a report released last
week by the Higher Education
Research Institute (HERI) at
UCLA.

UCLA, along with the
American Council on Educa-
tion, sruveys some 200,000 col-
lege freshmen a year about their
college plans, their social at-
titudes and their political
beliefs.

To mark the 20th anniversary
of the surveys, HERI officials
issued a report summarizing
some of their major finds.

The most obvious change,
said HERI’s Dr. K.C. Green, is
in the majors students choose.
There have been sharp drops in
the numbers of math,
humanities and liberal arts,
science, and education majors.
Green said the biggest increase
has been in business.

“Students are going to college
[armed with] job preferences,”’
he said. “For the first time,
we’re seeing the [number of
students aiming primarily] to be
financially well off increasing.’’

By the same token, Green
said, student interest in develop-
ing “‘a meaningful philosophy
of life’’ is decreasing.

“We're in the materialistic
age now. The country is just
emerging from the worst
economic period since the thir-
ties,”’ he said. “It cut a wide
swathe across [the nation].
Students are saying ‘I don’t

blems, there was speculation
about whether it would be pulled
off,’’ he said.

According to Perlstein, ‘‘there
seems to be an incredible amount
of enthusiasm about Guinness
Day °87. Our November 6th
meeting was very successful.’’

About 40 people attended the
meeting, he said.

“Sponsors will probably be the
same as last year,’’ Perlstein said.
“Pepsi, WPYX, UAS [University
Auxiliary Services], and Miller
are just a few. We need financial
support and plan to go to approx-
imately 50 to 100 heavy-duty
small businesses for donations of
$50-$100,”’ said Perlstein.

According to Rosenfeld, ‘‘The
names of the small businesses will
probably be included on our
Guinness Day shirts, in addition
to the larger companies.”

A poll conducted by Sonen-
shine earlier this semester reveal-
ed that 96 percent of the respon-
dants said they believe Guinness
Day is a tradition at SUNYA, and
50 percent said they wanted to
play Simon Sez.

“There will be no more than a
$2 admission charge,”’ said Perls-
tein. ‘‘This will include a free T-
shirt and hat to the first 4,000
people who sign up.’’

Students interested in being

fice, Perlstein said. a

want this to happen to me.”

Such ‘‘materialism’’ also
keeps showing up in surveys by
the Institute for Social Research
(ISR) at the University of
Michigan, which runs another
annual nationwide survey of
student attitudes.

“‘We’re seeing similarities [to
the UCLA study] in freshman
statements on desired and
preferred work ‘settings,’’ ISR’s
Dr. Jerald Bachman reported.
“Students prefer to be
employed by large corporations
now.” :

Bachman suspects it’s because
the job market is “too crowded
now. These kids are at the tail
end of the Baby Boom, and they
are going to suffer the most.”

Whatever the reasons, Green
thinks “‘the declining interest in
certain majors — like engineer-
ing (which has lost about 68,000
students) — doesn’t bode well
for the nation’s future.””

“Every major has gone
through ‘boom/bust’ cycies,”’
said Bachman. ‘‘When
engineering was flooded several
years ago, fewer students went
in.”

Perhaps most surprisingly,
Green said the HERI surveys
disprove the popular notion that
college students are becoming
more conservative politically.

While fewer students now call
themselves ‘‘liberal,’’ about the
same number of students call
themselves ‘‘conservative’’ to-
day as 20 years ago.

The ‘‘real growth”’ area of the
collegiate political spectrum, he
said, has been among students
who call themselves ‘‘middle of
the road.”* a)

Smokers encouraged to kick the habit Thurs.

By Pam Conway
NEWS EDITOR

Some SUNYA students will be
going “‘cold turkey”’ Thursday as
they attempt to quit smoking for

24 hours during the Great
American Smokeout.
The Smokeout, which

celebrates its tenth anniversary
this year, is a national event spon-
sored by the American Cancer
Society encouraging smokers to
give up the habit for one day.

“‘My own personal term for it is
‘no nag’ day,’’ said Kathleen
Egan, coordinator of the
Smokeout for the Cancer
Society’s Albany County Unit.

Egan said non-smokers should
give positive encouragement to
their friends who smoke and help
them to quit for the day by ‘‘of-
fering fruit, nuts, and gum if
necessary.””

As part of the event, the
Cancer Society encourages non-
smokers to ‘“‘Adopt a Smoker’’
for the day and is offering kits
containing adoption certificates,
tips on quitting, stickers, and

pins.
However, Egan said non-
smokers ‘‘don’t need a kit to

“The cost can’t just be added
to the room rate [because] that’s
against state law,’’ said Kirchner.

However, students who want
the service may be asked to pay
for the Service at the beginning of
a semester or school year.

No target date has been set for
any possible installation.

“There’s an awful lot of work
still to be done,” said Kirchner.
Bringing cable to the University
“must be an integrative process
involving the cable company and
entire University,” he said. oO

The women are also

uptown quads, Alumni Quad, the

podium and popular student
hangouts such as LP’s and
Sutters.

Feminist Alliance co-chair
Leslie Williams said she is oppos-
ed to the theory behind such a
calendar.

“Anything like this [calendar] .

which presents women only for
their beauty, I am opposed to,”
said Williams, adding that she
would have preferred it if the
calendar focused on women doing
activities for the campus
community.

However, Williams said she
had no strong opposition to the
calendar’s publication.

“The photos I saw were fine,”
she said. ‘‘The fraternity seemed
to have gone out of their way to
keep the exploitive aspect to a
minimum.

“For what it is, they did a good
job with it.””

Funds will go toward a black-
tie installation banquet to be held
in March to celebrate the frater-
nity’s acceptance as a full member
of the national organization.

According to Sig Ep President
Mare Lichtenfeld, the calendar
will be the first of an annual
publication. ‘‘This is going to be a
tradition of the fraternity,” he

gested they call smokers on the
phone ‘‘just to talk — anything to
keep their fingers busy.”’

Over 23 million of the 54
million smokers in this country
participated in the event last year,
said Egan.

The Smokeout began in 1973
when Lynn R. Smith successfully
got his hometown of Monticello,
Minn. to give up smoking for a
day.

According to Egan, the Cancer
Society picked up the idea and
began the Great American
Smokeout three years later.

Schools and businesses
throughout Albany are
cooperating with the Cancer
Society in promoting the event,
Egan said.

La Salle High School, where
Egan said 90 percent of the stu-

poster contests.

Egan said that people who par-
ticipate in the Smokeout
sometimes go on to quit smoking
permanently.

“Our motto is if you can quit
for a day, you can take every day
after that one day at a time until
you quit,’’ Egan said.

SUNYA sophomore Alyssa
Young said she is ‘‘thinking
about”? giving up smoking this
Thursday, even though her at-
tempt at last year’s Smokeout was
unsuccessful. ‘I didn’t make it
half the day,”’ she said.

“T really should try,’ said
Young. “‘If I can’t quit for a day,
it’s pretty ridiculous. But I’ll have
to wait to see what Thursday
brings.”’

Susan Hanigan, a sophomore
living on Dutch Quad, said she
won’t be smoking Thursday, but
she added that ‘‘I don’t smoke on
Thursdays anyway.My boyfriend
comes up to see me on Thursdays
and he hates me smoking so I
don’t smoke.”

Hannigan said that in past

There’s nothing grandparents like better than a call froma

rupt Lawrence, you ought to have something worth telling them.

For example, you could mention that you called using
AT&T Long Distance Service because you can depend on
AT&T's high quality service and exceptional value.

And then you can tell them that AT&T gives you
immediate credit if youdial a wrong number.

And that you can count on AT&T
for clear long distance
connections.

Finally, of course, you
should quickly reassure
them that you're eating

Mock arrests to raise funds for Cancer Society

By Debbie Stein 4

“You have the right to remain
silent. Anything you say can and
will be held against you in a court
of law...”

Within the next week, hun-
dreds of students, faculty and
community members can expect
to come face-to-face with a police
officer saying these very words as
they are escorted off to jail.

The ‘‘arrests”’ are part of Jail-
n-Bail, an effort to raise funds for

the American Cancer Society’s
Albany County unit.

Students and faculty can re-
quest that someone be ‘‘arrested”’
Thursday or Friday by a
volunteer off-duty police officer.
That person must then stay in a
phone-equipped ‘“‘jail’” located in
the Campus Center Ballroom,
where money must be raised to
post ‘‘bail’’ in order to leave.

According to the American
Marketing Association (AMA),

the group organizing the event, a
$10 donation is required to have a
student arrested, but arresting an
adult such as a professor or co-
worker will cost $25.

Arresters will have bail set for
them by a mock judge wearing a
black robe. Bail will be set acor-
ding to the ‘‘crime’’ for which the
person has been accused.

“Mug shots”? will be taken and
prisoners placed in prison cells,

relatives, or business associates
asking for financial assistance in
an effort to raise their bail.

The whole process should take
between one and two hours, ac-
cording to AMA representative
Nikki Hirsch.

Tables for students to sign up
people to be arrested were set up
in the Campus Center Monday
and will be there until Thursday.

All proceeds will be used for
Cancer Society research, patient
services, and life-saving educa-
tional services.

We heard how successful the
Jail-n-Bails have been in the past,
and we figured it would be a great
way to help fight cancer and have
a lot of fun,” said Kathleen Line,
Special Events Coordinator for
the Cancer Society’s Albany unit.

This is the first time a Jail-n-
Bail will be held at SUNYA or to
benefit the Cancer Society’s

Albany chapter, although other
such fundraisers have previously
been held in the Albany area. -

Jail-n-Bail is a community
event that will involve both
students and people in the
business community.

According to Hirsch, who is
organizing the event for the
AMA, “This is a way to place a
tie in the community with the
campus.”

Firms from the community
have already volunteered to help
in the event.

Students, faculty dine
for second year in row

By Matthew Mann
About 110 students dined with
professors and University staff
members Monday as part of Stu-
dent Association’s annual
Student-Faculty Dinner.

The purpose of the dinner is to
Provide “‘an atmosphere in which
students can sit and interact [with
professors] other than in the
classroom,”’? said SA President
Paco Duarte.

Stephanie Kay, co-chair of
Central Council’s Student Com-
munity Committee (SCC),
organizers of the event, said that
the dinner ‘‘will help make such a
large university a little more
personal.”’

For the past two years, the
Student-Faculty Dinner has been
held in late spring.

This year, however, the dinner
was held in the fall so that it could
“enhance student-faculty rela-
tions earlier [in the year] in hopes
that the relationship will bloom
and blossom throughout the
year,” said SCC co-chair Larry
Wasserman in his opening
address.

“I suspect it was a very suc-
cessful event,’’ said SA President
Paco Duarte. “It allowed for in-
teraction to take place between
students and faculty,’’ he said.

“The money invested and the
time and commitment yields very
high returns,” he added, referring
to the long-term benefits derived
from closer student/faculty
relations.

studies, attended the dinner and
said ‘I think more students
should have taken advantage of it
and I think all the faculty enjoyed
it.” Hamilton was asked to the
dinner by senior Donna
D’ Agostino.

Senior Barbara Abrahamer
asked Music professor Randall
Ellis “‘because he couldn’t go last
year.” She also added jokingly
that she ‘‘didn’t do well on the
midterm.””

“She knew I wouldn’t embar-
rass her,’’ Ellis said, adding that
“Tt was nice to sit and ‘kibbitz.’””

Some even turned the event in-
to a family outing.

James Wessman, professor of
Puerto Rican, Latin American
and Caribbean Studies, brought
his 5-year-old to the dinner.
Wessman was asked to attend by
junior Omar Ortega.

“It’s my way of showing my
appreciation,’ said Ortega. ‘‘It
brings together faculty and
students, [which is] lacking in the
University,’’ he said.

Deborah Brighton, who works
in the office of the vice president
for research and graduate studies,
and sophomore Cindy Eccleston
attended the dinner together for
the second year in a row.

“‘We enhanced our bond,’’ Ec-
cleston said, quoting from the
program.

ment of Hispanic and Italian

Women’s groups still protest
loss of Higher Ed. Act Title IX

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — College
women nationwide are spending their se-
cond school year without Title IX. The
women’s groups — missing their best tool
for fighting campus sexual harassment and
for getting equal funding — say it’s getting
harder to force schools to pay attention to
them.

In June, 1984, the U.S. Supreme Court
effectively gutted Title IX of the Higher
Education Amendments of 1972, which
said colleges would lose their federal funds
if they discriminated on the basis of
gender.

Women’s groups had used Title IX to
force colleges to adopt ways for women to
appeal campus sex harassment cases, to
hire and grant tenure to female faculty
members, and to begin funding women’s
athletics equally to men’s sports.

All that’s over now, some say.

“Tn funding women’s athletics and in
sexual harassment cases, if a school has no
policy in place [already], students in most
states have no [legal] recourse,”’ said Ber-
nice Sandler, head of the Project on the
Status and Education of Women, which,
in turn, is funded by the Association of
American Colleges.

“We've lost an enormous amount of
ground but, as yet, we don’t even know
how much we’ve actually lost,’’ says Ellen
Vargyas, an attorney for the National
Women’s Law Center in Washington,
D.C:

The Supreme Court’s ruling was so
vague, she said, that the U.S. Dept. of
Education, which is supposed to make sure
colleges don’t discriminate, has pretty
much, given up trying to enforce Title IX.

Dept. of Education officials, however,
deny the charge.

In the 1984 Grove City College case, the
court ruled that only.the campus program
that directly got federal funds had to swear
it didn’t discriminate against women.

Consequently, if an athletic department
or an English department that
discriminated against women didn’t
themselves receive federal funds, they were
immune from Title [X’s scope.

Indeed, most campus programs have
become immune.

The vast majority of federal funds come
to campuses in the form of ‘“‘block
grants,’’ which campus administrators can
divvy up among various programs.

‘‘Most federal money is not directed
toward specific programs,”’ Sandler said.

And after schools distribute the federal
money, it’s very hard to trace, Vargyas
said.

Sandler said women’s sports have suf-
fered the most during the post-Grove City
era because “‘little [federal money] goes to
athletic programs, and athletic scholar-
ships are not considered financial aid.””

As a result, progress in giving women
more athletic opportunities--and more

athletic scholarships--has slowed to a crawl
in many places, she said.

In 1979, for example, Tina Morrison
and five other women athletes sued West
Texas State University, claiming it violated
Title IX by making them ride vans to away
games when their male counterparts flew,
paying their coaches less than male
coaches, with giving them only one
uniform--compared to the men’s two--to
wear, with jamming four people--
compared to the men’s two--into a room
while on the road.

While Morrison, now a coach at an
Amarillo, Tx., high school, said the suit
scared WTSU officials ‘‘and that helped
some”’ in creating better conditions at the
campus, a federal court dismissed the case
for the second time this summer.

Women coaches, Morrison said, now
get paid better, females get spare
uniforms, and the university sometimes
lets women’s teams fly to away games.

“It’s far from equality, however. ‘‘Na-
tionwide,’”? Vargyas said, ‘‘millions of
dollars are given to athletic departments
and athletes, but women get only a frac-
tion of what men get.’”

“At Temple University,’ she said,
“nearly $2 million a year is given in
athletic scholarships. Enormous benefits
are being denied to women there.”

But the Dept. of Education’s Office of
Civil Rights (OCR) claims most schools
were in total compliance with Title [IX
before the Grove City decision.

“*Grove City hasn’t changed the attitude
of most schools,” said Gary Curran, the
OCR’s spokesman. ‘‘Most were pretty
much in compliance [with the law] before,
and continue as such now.”’

Vargyas charged the OCR isn’t trying.
“Title IX is not being aggressively enforc-
ed. [The Education Dept.] is taking the
narrowest view of the ruling, and the rul-
ing was very vague to begin with.”’

Curran disagreed. His office investigates
all complaints, ‘‘but it’s usually up to the
schools to raise the question of jurisdic-
tion. And, of the huge number of com-
plaints we receive, most are related to
elementary and secondary school issues
rather than higher education.’’

The OCR also conducts random com-
pliance reviews among colleges.

With all the uncertainty about what the
court meant and whether the Education
Dept. will act, many campus women are
bypassing the federal government
altogether and pursuing their discrimina-
tion complaints on the state level, Vargyas
said. 2

They’re being more successful there,
too. While West Texas State women were
losing their federal case last summer, Tem-
ple women, suing under a state anti-bias
law, were making steady progress through
the courts. o

Not just another Disney tale

‘American Tail from being another

Disney classic is that this fabulous
movie wasn’t made by Walt's child-
centered kingdom. The three producers of
this movie are ex-Disney animators, and
the whole project was backed by Steven
Spielberg and his friends at Amblin’ Pro-
ductions. American Tail is on par with any
cartoon feature from the height of the
Disney era, and it makes today’s early-
Saturday morning cartoons look
downright foolish.

Eric Berlin

The time is 1885, and times in Russia are
hard, for both mice and men. Papa
Mousekewitz, a fatherly Jewish mouse,
decides to move his family to America,
because, for one thing, “there are
no...(whispered) cats...in America!” But on
the boat ride over, a heavy storm hits,
separating the youngest Mousekewitz,
Fieval, from his family. Thus begins a fun-
ny and often dramatic, but always brilliant
adventure, as Fieval hits the shores of Ellis
Island in a bottle instead of a ship as plann-
ed. As Fievel journeys through New York
(‘Lthought America would be bigger”), try-
ing to find his family, he meets a wide
variety of good and evil characters, in-
cluding Henri, a French pigeon who is
building a very large statue of a gowned
lady in the middle of New York Harbor.
He also encounters the notorious Warren
T. Rat, a large, Shakespeare-quoting rat
who has a very funny looking nose, and
Honest John, a corrupt drunk of a
politician.

The animation is first-rate, and
sometimes breathtaking. The thunderous
waves that strike the America-bound ship
at the beginning. of the movie are
transformed into giant monsters with
great, foamy-water arms. The gorgeous
backgrounds depict an obviously well
thought out nineteenth century New
York. The city is drawn against starry skies
and glowing moons, and it is a pleasure to
look at.

Dracula

nfortunately, the word that comes
| J to mind when describing Universi-

ty Theatre's production of Dracula
is comical. While it was entertaining, the
Bram Stoker classic tale of horror proved
to be too ambitious a task for this cast and
crew.

Marie Santacroce

The play tells the story of Lucy Seward,
a beautiful young woman who has been at-
tacked by some mysterious illness. A
specialist, Dr. Van Helsing, soon deter-
mines she has been the victim of a vam-
pire. The vampire is quickly found to be
the Sewards' neighbor, Count Dracula. Dr.
Van Helsing, along with Lucy’s father, Dr.
Seward, and her fiance Jonathan Harker,
set out to protect Lucy and put an end to
Count Dracula and his evil ways.

As Lucy, Seward Marcelle Longan lack-
ed depth. Her best moment came during
the second act when, under the influence
of Count Dracula, she attempts to seduce
her fiance. Matthew Healy, who played
her fiance tried a bit too hard. At times his
reactions seemed unrealistic and inap-
propriate to the situation, such as his un-
justified burst of anger.

Dr Seward, Paul Villani, maintained the
same facial expression and tone of voice
throughout the play. William A. Leone
played the specialist, Dr. Van Helsing, with
an Austrian accent and a leer in his eye. He
kissed Lucy’s hand a few times too often
for his motives not to come into question.
Randy Scott Rozler certainly looked the
part of Dracula. He played the role with al!

Caution: apparently the animation can
get a little foo realistic; in one scene in-
cluding a mob of attacking spiders and
cockroaches (every Spielberg presentation
needs a fair share of bugs), some of the
younger children in the audience burst out
in simultaneous terrified tears. But with
that aside, the animation is flawless, even
down to the characters’ lip-synching.

Those voices, too, are wonderful and fit-
ting. Madeline Kahn is very funny as an ab-
surdly rich mouse activist who is trying to

organize all the other mice together to rid
America of cats (apparently there are a few
lurking about). Kahn gives her voice a
Gilda Radner’s Baba Wahwah accent,
replacing all her R’s with W's (“Being wich
isn’t evwything...I should know, I'm wich
and I have evwything”), which the adults
find more amusing than the kids. And
Dom DeLuise gives a tender voice to the
cat, Tiger, who has all the ferocity of the
Cowardly Lion, a character he was ob-
viously based upon (Tiger bites his nails

and admits to loving butterflies).

The movie turns out to be a musical,
too, with children’s songs that are com-
parable with such old classics as “When
You Wish Upon A Star” from Pinnachio.
Songs such a “A Duo’, the optimistic
“Never Say Never”, and especially
“Somewhere Out There” all have simple
words and tunes that are perfectly able to
stand on their own, as songs that can ap-
peal to both children and adults. It is fun,
though, to watch the cartoon dancers on
the screen. One song, “There Are No Cats
in America”, is done in the style of a Broad-
way musical, with a boatload of optimistic
immigrant mice dancing around in their
joy to finally be going to a country where
one can say that forbidden word (“cats”)
without being trounced on.

The screenplay is properly toned down
toa child's level. but still it remains almost
startlingly realistic. As Fievel wanders
through this country that is his new home,
the audience is treated to a potpourri of
what it was like to be an immigrant. We
are shown the sweatshops and snake-oil
salesmen, we are shown immigrants get-
ting their names changed because their real
names are unpronounceable, and we are
certainly shown the wide variety of people
that came to America in that time, each
with nothing but idealistic hope for what
they would find in the fabled country
“where the roads are paved with cheese”.
None of the darker sides of immigration
are shown with any great drama, but they
are shown in the hope that parents will tell
their kids that things like that really did
happen. Aside from the sobering details
of life at this time, there is a fine story with
Fievel trying to find his family at the center
of the plot, and the mice in general trying
to drive all the cats from the country. It is a
storyline that little children should find ab-
solute delightful, and that adults should
find more than just fun, but extremely
well worth the time. oO

frightening.

By far, however, the liveliest moments
on the stage were due to Boris McGiver
who played Renfield, a patient of Dr.
Seward’s who also happened to be under
the power of Count Dracula. He added
vitality and energy where very little
existed.

Despite the howling dogs and rolling
mist the play somehow failed to capture a
feeling of gothic eeriness. ‘At times these
type of effects failed so miserably, they ac-
tually became funny. The most humorous
moments in the play belonged to the bat,
an alternate form of Count Dracula, Dangl-
ing from a very noticeable string, the bat
would swing onto stage, hesitate, and sw-
ing back, Every appearance of the bat in-
evitably provoked laughter from the
audience.

The production however, did have its
redeeming aspects. All members of the
costume, stage and lighting crews should
be commended.A particularly impressive

last scene. Costumes were equally well
done. Lucy’s long flowing dresses were
beautifully detailed and Count Dracula's
garb was also quite handsomely done.

A few scenes were successful. Especially
good were those involving sexual in-
terplay. The flirtatious interaction between
the maid, JoAnne Warn, and Butterworth,
John Stancari, was genuinely light and
playful. Dracula and Lucy's confrontation
in Lucy's boudoir was steamy to say the
least. This scene had no words, but then it
needed none. The curtain fell just as
Dracula went for Lucy’s neck and the au-

dience thundered its approval.

The play's final scene was disappointing-
ly anticlimatic. It was not only short, but
seemed rushed as well, and provided the
play with an unsatisfying denouement.

Dracula will be playing at the Perform-
ing Arts Center Main Theatre from
November 19th to the 22nd. If you see it,
be prepared for more laughs than shrieks.

Aspects-on Tuesday 9

Cheuse finds himself in U.S.S.R.

ovelist and critic Alan Cheuse gave

a powerful and eloquent reading of

his recently published novel The
Grandmothers’ Club and selections from
his work in progress, as a guest of the
Writers’ Institute on November 13. Cheuse
is presently a book reviewer for National
Public Radio's “All Things Considered.”

Evelyn Snitofsky

The Grandmothers’ Club is a fictional
chronicle of Jewish family life, but the
trials and triumphs depicted transcend
religious and ethical bounds. The novel
portrays the struggle of ordinary people
trying to maintain their beliefs and values,
in a life sometimes filled with more
tragedy than joy. Cheuse read from an ear-
ly chapter of the work, a segment in which
one of the grandmothers tells of her hus-
band’s death. Cheuse’s voice resonated
throughout the room, and the words on
the page filled the Humanities lounge with
the sounds of turn-of-the-century New
York. “The bells, the bells, the bells, the
clop, clop, clopping, Fire in the city! Fire in
the city!”

The major part of Cheuse’s informal
presentation, however, was his reading ex-
cerpts from a book he is presently working
on, a largely autobiographical piece entitl-
ed Fall from Heaven, which he expects to
be published by next September. Cheuse
said this book is “part memoir, part
biography, and part fiction,” and it incor-
porates Cheuse’s recent journey to the
Soviet Union (with son Josh) to know the
land his father had known. As he removed
the reading material from his briefcase,
Cheuse told the audience it was “fresh out
of the typewriter, and sort of rough.”

Cheuse read three chapters of Fall from
Heaven, the most relevant to the times be-
ing the one entitled “The Terrorist.” Ap-
parently Cheuse and his son Josh had en-
countered a very hostile Libyan in the
elevator of a Moscow hotel; the passage
desctibing the encounter was alarmingly
real and silenced the small crowed
instantaneously.

“I am from the premiere terrorist nation
of Africa,” Cheuse’s voice adopted the
middle-eastern accent and the threatening
tone of the man. “But you, you two are

from the biggest terrorist nation in the
universe. .. You have bombed my country
and killed my children. . . And this on the
orders of your President Reagan.Do you
know what I want to do to your President
Reagan? I would give my life if could fuck
your President Reagan, and slowly slit his
throat...”

It was one of the most frightening ex-
periences in his life, Cheuse said, and while
his “very cool” son brushed it off as one of
those crazy things that happen (“if that’s
what you want, go for it, man”), Cheuse
said he couldn’t have felt more vulnerable
| and victimized if he had “been in a gas
| chamber.”

Herrick: an aut

t 4:00 p.m. last Wednesday in the
Campus Center Assembly Hall,
novelist William Herrick read from

Hermanos, his 1969 novel based on his ex-
perience fighting in the Spanish Civil War.

Loren Ginsberg

Addressing an audience of about 30,
Herrick discussed the autobiographical
nature of his works. “Novels are written
from your life — your very own. The
laughter and the pain are your own,” he
said. “The rest is up to your talent and how
patient your ass is, because that’s what
writing is — sitting on your ass. If you can’t
do that, find another line of business.”

Herrick has apparently mastered the skill
of sitting, and his dramatic life experiences
provide more than sufficient fuel for his
novels. He was born in Trenton, New
Jersey, and grew up in New York City.
During the Depression, he went to
Michigan and worked on an anarchist
farm, travelled the country as a hobo fora
while, organized sharecroppers, and
fought for the Republic in the Spanish Civil
War.

Herrick began writing in his fifties. By
age 70 he had published nine novels, in-
cluding That's Life, winner of the Present
Tense/Joel H. Cavior 1985 Literary Award
for fiction.

The author's style of dress is as varied as
his experiences — he wore a blue

turtleneck sweater, gray jacket, and tan
pants, which seemed to fit his easy manner
and relaxed prose. Herrick’s nervousness
was only revealed by the book shaking in
his hands.

Despite his past, Herrick claimed, “In my
work, I've tried valiantly to avoid romance
and adventure.” He followed this state-
ment by reading a brief ‘passage from
That's Life depicting the extreme poverty
of the Depression, the crudeness of life on
the streets, and the reality of near-
starvation.

ae ‘

Another chapter touched upon a lighter
subject, Cheuse’s naive encounter in a
Soviet bar with a Russian prostitute, “a
businessgirl,” as she called herself. “When
she realized | was an American, her efforts
at seduction increased,” read Cheuse from
his manuscript. “You come to my house
for sleeping? Only 50 American dollars,”
his reading continued, now in the voice of
the Russian businessgirl. The listeners smil-
ed, nodded, and laughed with amusement.

Behind the brilliance of his words is the
inspiration of Cheuse’s father, who has ob-
viously had a tremendous impact upon the
novelist. “He started talking to me as Josh
and I neared the Soviet border,” said
Cheuse. He needed little encouragement to

say more of his father. “My old man was
in the Red Airforce,” he told the audience.
“In 1936 he crashed his plane in the Sea of
Japan, and he abandoned it. Once outside
the Soviet borders, he never returned.”

Cheuse’s father left him a manuscript of
memoirs describing his life growing up in
Russia, which Cheuse has chosen to in-
clude as the middle portion of Fall from
Heaven. Despite Cheuse's “heavy editting”
of the piece, the reading of his father’s nar-
rative revealed it to be a work of literary
merit in itself. Asked if his father’s
memoirs had colored his own vision of the
Soviet Union, Cheuse said very solemnly
“Oh, yes. He’s on every other page. This is
a suitcase of epiphanies.”

When Cheuse concluded his selected
readings, he entertained questions from
those who could do more than sigh in ad-
miration of this man and the realism of his
words, Most of the questions were directed
toward his impressions of the Soviet
Union, and not about his writing, persay.
But then recently, it seems the two have
really become inseparable. The Soviet
Union has left an impression on Cheuse
that is likely to affect his writing for some
time to come.

“It's so very different. It’s not the West,
it’s not the East. It’s the true Third World.
And the people want what we want, to
stop the nuclear arms race.Everyone
should go there for a few weeks to ex-
perience it. Reagan should go there for two
years.”

As a journalist, Cheuse found the ab-
solute control of the press to be the most
horrific aspect of Soviet life. “The press is
absolutely monolithic. What the people do
get to see and hear about the West is the
crime and racial riots.” He said the Soviet
press has been forced to become somewhat
more honest with its citizens since the
Chernobyl accident. But it’s still “like hav-
ing your life controlled by the Kiwanis
Club.”

“Our press is free and totally hysterical
— GORBACHEV CONTROLLED BY
KGB. And their press is calm, cool, col-
lected, and completely under the thumb of
the Soviet Party.”

As aman with a lot to say and a definite
idea of how he wants to say it, it’s not sur-
prising Cheuse found he prefers “our flaws
to theirs.”

or of action

characterization, Herrick referred to him as
“a man who loved war too much, loved
killing to much — as well as dying.”

He began his reading from Hermanos
with a letter by protagonist Joe Garmes
upon entering Spain. The letter’s crude,
stream-of-consciousness quality is
believable. The author later explained that
Garme’s character is based on Herrick’s
best friend in Spain. :

Herrick followed with a painfully detail-
ed description of the first major battle in-
volving the American army. It is strikingly
clear that the men in the scene are “waiting

—William Herrick

At the end of the passage, Herrick ad-
dressed the audience: “How romantic.
How adventurous. Do you envy me my
youth?”

Herrick then prepared to read from Her-
manos (Spanish for “brothers”), a novel
which arose from his participation in the
Spanish Civil War as a member of the U.S.
Abraham Lincoln Brigade. The author call-
ed Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls,

Fascists. To save Madrid. To become

A letter by Joe Garmes as he leaves
Spain in 1939 concluded the reading.
Garmes writes of a former friend who had
“quit the party.” When he finished reading,
Herrick revealed that he was the disloyal
friend to whom Garmes referred with such
contempt. “For the first time I was
unorganized,” said Herrick of his decision.

Complaint
Directory

When we originally ran this editorial last year, the
response was so good that we decided to update it and
run it again from time to time. In anticipation of a few
mew concerns you might have, we’ve made a few
changes and additions.

Ask an administrator why a particular problem has
never addressed and he or she is almost sure to say “I
‘wasn’t aware the problem existed.’’ Chances are that’s
the truth. Administrators don’t live on campus and
they don’t attend classes, They see very little of what
really goes on here.

So the next time you start to tell your friend what’s
wrong with this school, take a few extra steps to the
nearest phone and tell your gripe (or praise) to so-
meone who can do something about it. Listed below
are some key names and numbers of people you can
call, along with some examples of what you might
speak to them about. This is, of course, only a sampl-
ing of the people you may want to contact. For addi-
tional names and numbers, call the Campus Center in-
formation desk at 442-5571.

Bus Service — When you get tired of watching full
buses pass you on many mornings, making you late for
your classes, and you’ve stood there so long that your
legs can’t support you anymore, crawl over to the
nearest phone and call Physical Plant director Dennis
Stevens at 442-3400.

University Auxiliary Services — When you look at this
week’s menu and marvel at how UAS has once again
managed to serve its three worst entrees on one night
and its three most bearable nes on another, or you’ve
found something large and disgusting in your Colonial
Burger or grilled cheese and you’d like it identified,
call UAS general manager E. Norbert Zahm at
442-5950. He’s told us time after time that he genuine-
ly appreciates student interest.

Tuition Rates — If you’ve noticed that your tuition
bill has gone up while the quality of education and ser-
vices at this University is going down, and you’d like
to put a stop to this, call 474-1041 and ask for Mario.
Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get through right
away; the governor only likes students when Election

| Day is near.

Alcohol — The next time you and your suitemates
decide to have a party but realize that the current
alcohol policy says you can’t have any kegs or beer-
balls in either your room or your suite, call acting Vice
President for Student Affairs Henry Kirchner at
442-5500 and tell him what you think about the ban on

, bulk containers.

Grades — If your transcript looks like a bowl of
alphabet soup with some extra ‘W’s thrown in, and

| you wish you’d had just a little more time to drop your

course without getting a W, call University President
Vincent O'Leary at 442-5400.

Academic Issues — When you need an interpreter to
understand your foreign instructor’s feeble attempts at
speaking English or your professor is so wrapped up in
his or her own reseach that teaching seems to be little
more than an annoying distraction, call Executive Vice
President for Academic Affairs Judith Ramaley at
442-4000 and tell her you’re not getting the education
you paid for. If you can’t reach her, then try Dean of
Academic Affairs Harry Hamilton at 442-3950.
Student Accounts — If a hold has been placed on your
account, preventing you from registering, and you
know you’ve paid all your bills and returned all your
library books, call Student Accounts Director Lia
Catalano at 442-3200 and remind her that even com-
puters can make mistakes.

Dorm Maintenance and Cleaning — When the carpet
in your dorm hasn’t been vacuumed in a week and you
can’t describe the things growing in your bathroom,
bring it to the attention of your RA. If you don’t get
results, go to the Residence Director and then the Area’
Coordinator. If the problem still hasn’t been rectified,
call Karl Scharl, Systems Director of Physical Plant
for Building and Institutional Services, at 442-3410
and invite him to stop by your dorm sonjetime.
Parking Rules and Tickets — If you get a ticket that
you think is unjustified, go to the Public Safety office
and appeal it’within three days. If that doesn’t get
results, call Traffic Division Director James Utermark
at 442-3124.

Getting Results — If you call any of these people and
you don’t get results, call us, the Albany Student Press
at 442-5660 and we'll look into it. After all, no one
likes uninvited publicity.

FOUR AND TWENTY ELAcKBIRDS BAKED IN A fe,
Muth To THE SURPRISE OF THE DRM RESDENTS.

College Press Service

Who makes your decisions? -

Two years ago, in the Spring of 1985, the ‘‘Impact of
21 Committee’? was formed by Dr. Frank Pogue. Jim
Doellefeld was appointed the Chairperson and Dr. Pogue
sought equal and diverse representation of the university
community. This was accomplished through several ap-
pointments by the university. SA President Rick Schaf-
fer was also empowered with several appointments to this
important committee.

Phillip Botwinik
Martin Glovin

The committee’s charge was to explore the likelihood
and ramifications of a 21 year old purchasing age on the
university community. The task set before the members
was to research and offer plans of action for a smooth
transition, if a 21 year old purchasing age was passed.

One of the major accomplishments of this committee
was forming the conclusion that the campus should not
go dry. In fact, there was a unanimous recommendation
against a dry campus. We (Martin Glovin and Philip Bot-
winik) both were appointed to this committee, served on
it, and were very proud of its deliberations.

In the Fall of 1986, we were both re-appointed to the
“Implementation of 21 Committee.” The themes and
goals of the committee paralleled its predecessor. The
committee worked with these aims throughout the
semester.

Unfortunately, the committee’s philosophy moved
drastically towards a much more authoritative approach
in order to expediate a, vote. This vote was to decide
whether or not the university should support the banning
of multiple beer containers (i.e. kegs, beer balls). This
issue, which was thought to be'a superficial, band-aid
solution to the drinking situations on campus, became a
recommendation of the committee even though a strong
part of the committee was against it. Furthermore, this
recommendation was supported and implemented by the
University, which infringed upon the rights of many
students living on campus.

The biggest disappointment to us, as committee
members, was that in a last minute emergency meeting,
all the positive intentions, steps, and workings of the
committee were undermined. Students felt betrayed by
the committee’s recommendation and the University’s
implementation of this ban. This was evident: in the
massive rally held on the podium last year, where students
demonstrated their discontentment for this ban on bulk
containers in their homes.

The current University Alcohol Committee was also
appointed by Dr. Frank Pogue last spring. Some of these
appointments must have been upsetting to SA President
Paco Duarte, because unlike Rich Schaffer, he did not
have a say in the appointment process. The committee’s
charge is ‘reviewing the consumption of alcoholic
beverages on campus.’’ The committee’s recommenda-
tions regarding alcohol are supposed to be advisory to Dr.
Pogue.

The committee first met on Oct. 7 1986, and set up a
wide agenda to look into alcohol-related matters. The
committee is comprised of students and various ad-
ministrators, but in regard to the students on the commit-
tee, there is clearly no equal or diverse representation. All

“Any group of people
making such a far-reaching
decision should have members
that are more representative
of the students.”’

of the students on the committee represent the upper
classes; there are no underclassmen or women.

As students we need to be able to effectively com-
municate our rights to SA and to student members of the
committee, and the key issue here is representation. Sure-
ly any group of people making such a far reaching deci-
sion should have members that are more representative of
the students, particularly the students who will be most
effected. The’original committee had a greater chance at
fulfilling this criterion by the nature of the appointment
of its members, but the current appointment process has
been severely narrowed.

It is essential that our campus does not become dry. It
was a topic that all prior alcohol committees agreed was
infeasible and unenforceable on our campus. To voice
your concerns, call student members Philip Botwinik at
489-4798 or Martin Glovin at 442-6073; Chair Jim
Doellefeld of Campus Life at 442-5566; or Hank
Kirschner, Acting Vice-President for Student Affairs at
442-5500. All students should be aware of the situation at
hand so that they will have the best possible life on the
Albany campus.

2 Sports Supplement ALBANY STUDENT PRESS (1 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1986

FROM THE EDITOR

Dick Sauers and Mari Warner know how to coach winning baskeball teams.

Back for his 32nd season as men’s head coach is the legendary Dick Sauers.
What is there left to say that has not already been said about Sauers, who has
led his teams to 519 wins while never registering a losing record?

Probably the biggest question that crosses people’s minds about Sauers is
why has he stayed at a Division III school for so long when he undoubtedly has
one of the finest basketball minds in the country. Last spring rumors circulated
that he was bound for U Conn, but Sauers quickly laughed it off. Albany
basketball and Dick Sauers go hand in hand and he wouldn't have it any other
way.

The women’s basketball program at Albany has not been in existence as long
as the men’s, but without a doubt they have been as successful. Mari Wamer
enters her fifth season as head coach. In her first year, Warner, 22 at the time,
led the Danes to their first winning record ever.

Although Wamer is the first to give the credit to her players, the numbers
speak for themselves, In four short years she has coached the Danes to a 79-24
record — one of the top marks in the East. It doesn't look as if this year will
break that trend either.

Probably the most interesting thing about this season is that it’s the Danes’
last year in the SUNYAC. The University’s decision to abandon the league to
pursue greater scheduling opportunities will have a large effect on basketball.

But for this year, both teams will try to attain the yearly goal of reaching the
SUNYAC tournament.

In the last two years covering Albany State basketball I've seen some exciting
things, In my freshman year as a beat reporter for the women's team, they
posted a 23-4 record, which ironically wasn't good enough for the NCAA com-
mittee. That same year I witnessed the thrilling evening at University gym
when Doc Sauers won his 500th game.

Last year I went to Potsdam with the men’s team and win or lose, the intensi-
ty at Maxcy Hall can’t be topped. I saw the women cagers come back after an
emotional loss to Buffalo State in the SUNYAC finals and win the NCAA East
regional. Then I watched the season end as they lost to Salem State in the
NCAA quarterfinals.

It doesn’t matter what the level of play, be it Division I, II or II. The intensity
and excitment is always present in Dane hoops and that's what counts. The on-
ly way for you to appreciate it is to see it for yourself. But watch out — Dane

hoops can be addicting. Oo

By Dean Chang
EDITOR IN CHIEF

You can see the change in John
Carmello as soon as he steps onto the
floor.

Notice the improved jump shot, which
he’s been working on with Assistant
Coach Barry Cavanaugh. Notice too the
short spiked haircut, a far cry from the
shoulder-length hair of two years ago. But
most of all, notice the change in attitude.

Last year, Carmello quit the team in
November. He said the intensity wasn't
there, and his extreme love for the game
of basketball diminished slightly.

“I was looking forward to the season
when practice and conditioning first
started,” said Carmello. “I just burned
out, I guess. I've played organized ball
from seventh grade on through. I wasn't
giving 100 percent, and it showed,”

So for the. first time in several years,
John Carmello sat in the stands as the
season-opening tipoff took place. The
transition from player to fan wasn't an
easy one, and there were times when
Carmello said he wished he was back on
the court, instead of in the seats.

But that was last year. Now you can
always find Carmello on the court, well
before his teammates arrive for practice.
And when practice is over, he'll still be on
the court, always the last one to leave.

“John has a renewed exuberance for the
game,” said Assistant Coach Jim Boland.
“He's been working hard, much harder
than when he left.

“Last year John didn’t seem to want to
be here everyday — he wasn't into it.
Now the game seems to mean more to
him.”

Carmello agrees with Boland, “I'm play-
ing with a type of intensity I'm not ac-
customed to having,” he said.

As a freshman, Carmello was the first

Carmello stayed on the team, logic would
have been wrong.

The starters on opening day were Mike
Cinque, a transfer from Adelphi Universi-
ty, and Doug Kilmer, who was ‘behind
Carmello the year before.

“Me quitting didn’t directly have to do
with Mike Cinque or Doug starting,” said
Carmello, now a junior. “But it certainly
didn't help.”

This year Carmello figures to start at
guard next to playmaker Cinque. The two
seem well-matched to run the Danes’ up=
tempo transition offense. The only ques-
tion mark in the backcourt is the

shooting, which Carmello admits is not
his strongest point.

“Maybe they should call my position
the scoring guard,” said Carmello: “I'm
going to be going to the hoop more than a
pure shooter does.”

Another question mark has already
been answered in practice and in scrim-
mages — a year off has not eroded any of
Carmello’s skills. if anything, the self-
imposed vacation has lifted his game up
slightly.

“One criticism Doc [Coach Dick Sauers]
has had of me was that I wasn’t intense
on defense, that I wasn’t aggressive
enough,” said Carmello. “Now there's
much more desire and intensity when I

play.

Any who fear that the pressure of
replacing All-American Rainny Lesane
might be too great for this season's Dane
women cagers’ point guard can relax.
Chris LaBombard isn’t feeling any
anxiety.

On the other hand, she is concerned
about cleaning her apartment, finishing
her homework and cooking dinner for
Mr. LaBombard.

“There really is no ‘typical’ day,” laugh-
ed Chris, who married Bob LaBombard of
Cohoes in August 1985. “My husband
‘drops me off at school at about 8:30 a.m..
Then, I study until my classes begin, then
study in between my classes and practice,
then go to practice, them my husband
picks me up again at 6:30 p.m..

“Then,” she continued, “I go home,
cook dinner, dean the apartment, and do
homework until I fall asleep. On the
weekends, I lifeguard at the Community
Center in Cohoes. And that's about it."

The slim, attractive 22-year-old makes it
all sound so easy.

“For someone to be married,” said
women’s basketball coach Mari Wamer,
“is difficult because there’s another whole
part of her life. She'll be talking about
cleaning her house and things that others
don't have to worry about.

“Yet, she’s very dedicated," emphasized
Warner. “She thoroughly enjoys playing,
and she truly wants to make the most of
her last year here.”

Considering all the extenuating dr-
cumstances, it's somewhat of a mirade
that LaBombard made it here to Albany
State at all. Christine Bailey was born Oct.
10, 1964 in Northern California, and mov-
ed with her family to Illinois, where she
went to high school. She attended the
University of DeBuke, where she met Bob
LaBombard of Cohoes during her
freshman year.

“I think my personality back then has as
much do to with it as anything.”

The year off does mean that Carmello
has an extra year of eligibility. That could
weigh heavily in his mind when he
decides whether to go to graduate school
at Albany. His grades though are the stuff
that Harvard dreams are made of;
Carmello has a 3.92 grade point average.
His major isn’t basketweaving either —
it's Management Finance.

“It's tough because I don’t get home un-
til 7 [p.m|].” said Carmello, who lives at
home in Albany with his parents. “I've
just got to budget my time. Living at
home probably helps, but I have a lot of
freedom here. It wouldn't be that much
different than if I lived on campus.”

Carmello chose SUNY Albany from a list
of six schools that included local rivals
RPI and Union College. All three local
basketball coaches contacted him when
he was still at Albany High, but Sauers
had a distinct advantage.

Listed on the 1960 opening-day roster
was a 5-foot-9 speedster from Albany
named Bill Carmello — John’s father.

“Deep down I knew I would go to
SUNY, especially since my dad played for
Doc,” said the 20-year-old Carmello.
“From what my dad told me, Doc's
lightened up since then, believe it or not.”

Sauers has not named Carmello as a
definite starter this year, although the
6-foot guard has started in all of the
preseason scrimmages. Sauers
characterizes Carmello as a ‘'good offen-
sive player in a transition game.”

“If he were as good defensively as he is
on offense, he'd be hard to keep out of
the line-up,” said Sauers. “He has the
ability to do that.”

Carmello has always had the ability.
This year he has his desire back — the
game's fun again. There'll be no quit in
Carmello this time around. oO

“He had gone to Hudson Valley Com-
munity College,” explained LaBombard,
“and was an All-American football
player. He chose DeBuke out of all the
other colleges that recruited him because _
it was small, and he wanted to get out of
the area for a while.”

LaBombard took the next year, (1983-84)
of college off when her family moved to
Minnesota. It was during the following
year that she decided to retum with her
now-husband, who had completed his
studies at DeBuke, to Cohoes.

“My family was supportive,” said
LaBombard. “They let me make my own
decision. They were questionable at first,
but everything is working out really
well.”

LaBombard attended Hudson Valley
Community College for the '84-’85
academic year while living with her pre-
sent husband’s parents. It was during this
year that Warner received a call about an
athlete interested in playing basketball
for Albany.

“I went and took a look at her,” recalls
Warner. “But i-wasn't real impressed.
There was nobody else on the team who
could really do anything, so she was do-
ing everything on her own. No passing. I
just didn’t see where we could use Chris.”

“That really teaches all coaches a lesson
about recruiting,” continued Wamer.

rake a look at who the athlete is playing
because that can have an effect
sometimes. I'm ashamed to say that I
didn't go hard after Chris, because she’s
turned out to be a real positive thing for
the team.”

“I had doubts,” said LaBombard of the
time. “I mean, I sent stuff, but I didn’t get
anything back. Other schools at least sent
me an application. But 1 wanted to go
here because it was local, and the teacher-
ed program is good. it was the best school

A preview of ’86-’87 Great Dane

Danes to rely on quickness

By Kristine Sauer
SPORTS EDITOR

After losing only three players to graduation and
considering that the two strongest players from
last year return, you would think that the Albany
State men's basketball team would be insured of
bettering last season's 18-9 clip.

But that's not necessarily true.

Despite the presence of a handful of experienced
returning players who should improve from last
year, there is a lot up in the air for the Great
Danes. The biggest problem is that the Danes lack
height, something they hope to make up for with
quickness.

Although they failed to gain an NCAA bid as
they did in 1985, the Danes did see post-season ac-
tion last year. After posting a 10-2 record in the
SUNYAC East, finishing behind undefeated na-
tional champions Potsdam, the Danes were knock-
ed out of the SUNYACs by Buffalo State in a two-
point loss. Albany gained a bid to the ECACs,
where it thrashed Utica Tech before falling to
Binghamton in a 62-61 season-ender.

This year — the Danes’ last in the SUNYAC since
University decided to go independent next season
— may be tough for Albany to finish higher than
third in the SUNYAC East. Aside from the
perennially-tough Potsdam Bears, the Danes
should have their hands full with Binghamton,
whom t! - met in three close games last season of
which 4:>any took two. Plattsburgh and New
Paltz sh. ‘ be challenging the Danes for second
place as well,

“1 don't see the conference getting any easier,”
saiu Albany head coach Dick Sauers, who is in his
32nd year at the helm of the Danes. “New Paltz
and Binghamton are getting better every year.”

~“T think we're gonna do pretty well this year.”
added senior Mike Cinque, who returns at the
point guard position. “‘I see P as our main
competition. I feel more confident playing them
this year than last.”

As for the move out of the SUNYAC, Cinque
feels it will help the team next year. “ I wish I
could play next year,” said the senior from
Monroe. “For basketball it’s better. I don’t know
about the other sports. We'll be playing different

. teams from different areas. It raises the level of
play. In the SUNYAC there are a few good teams
then the rest aren't so great.”

Albany lost six games by four or less points last
year, and Sauers hopes his team can turn those
games around this year. Ten of the teams Albany
meets saw post-season play last year and will pro-
vide tough competition this season.

“J'm looking for us to win 20 games,” said
Cinque.

If the Danes are to surpass or equal last season's
record, they must take advantage of their ex-
perienced players, while being competitive on the
boards, a weakness in 1985.

The Great Danes return a strong nucleus of
players. They'll have to replace two starters in
Doug Kilmer and John Mracek, and versatile sixth-
man Brian Kaupilla. Sauers isn’t totally set on his
starting five. He is certain on returning starters
Adam Ursprung and Cinque.

The competition at the off-guard spot is between
junior John Carmello, who returns after quitting
the team last year and senior Andy O'Connell.
The battle for the two post spots will be waged
between returnees junior Brett Axelrod, senior
Tony Dickens and sophomore Russ Teague.

A. four year starter, Ursprung, a 64 small for-
ward, received most of the individual honors last
year. Named to the first team All-SUNYAC and All-
ECAC North as well as the National Coaches of
America second team, the Catskill native led the
team in rebounding and scoring, averaging 14.1
points per game and 10 rebounds per game.

“He's a better player this year then last year,”
said Sauers, who has amassed 519 wins in his
coaching stint at Albany. “Adam’s returned
stronger, with more stamina and is jumping just as
well. Teams will concentrate on him, but I see him
still maintaining his scoring.”

Ursprung, who played this summer in the Em-
pire State Games for Adirondack, once again will
be counted on for his prolific scoring and ag-
gressive rebounding. Deservedly so.

“He's so alert,” noted Sauers, “He's got the best

_ nose for rebounds then anybody I've ever had. His

rebounding statistics should improve this year.

“One game at a time.”’

Fresh off a spectacular 1985-86 season, where
they posted a record of 26-4, the Albany State
women's basketball team goes into the new
season with this same philosophy that brought
them the success and recognition they earned
last year.

Sure, some of the names have changed, but the
attitude and temperament has remained the
same. This team wants to win again.

“T think our determination will carry us
through,” said head coach Mari Warner.

“From the intense play I've seen in pre-season,
Ican tell that the team has a real desire to repeat
“(as SUNYAC East champions) so we can get to the
regionals, said Warmer.”

This year's team is a lot younger than last
year's. Of the thirteen players on Warner's
roster, only two are seniors, Chris LaBombard
and Kim Kosalek. Both are this year's team cap-
tains. Coach Wamner is looking for them to take
on the role of leaders.

The rest of the roster includes three juniors,
three sophomores and five freshmen. However,
the youth of the team shouldn't be a problem
because most of the returning players have had
that all-important element — game experience.

“['m counting on the one’s who are returning.
“They've had some experience and hopefully
they'll be able, to pick up for those who left,”
Warner said. 2

Here is a closer look at the team and what
Warner feels are the capabilities of each player:

—Chris LaBombard, a 5-6 point guard out of St.
Charles, Wis.. is a very smart player with alot of
speed and a tremendous outside shot. she will
be counted on to run the fast breaks and to con-
trol the offense.

—Kim Kosalek, a 5:10 forward out of Tully, has
good speed for a big player. She runs the break
‘well and can handle the ball well.

—Cindy Jensen,” 5-11 forward/center out of
Taconic Hills. The junior is one of the fastest post

players in the conference. Her speed and
shooting range will be a tremendous asset to the
team. Wamer is looking for a big year from her.

ung.

, a three man, I wouldn't be sur-
prised if he led in the nation, "added Sauers.

The Danes are equally as strong in the point
guard position. Last year, Cinque, a transfer from
Division II Adelphi, emerged as part of the Danes’
formula for success.

In one year at Albany, the 6-1 point guard im-
pressed everyone with his flashy passing and abili-
ty to create a great play out of what seemed like
nothing. Cinque, the team's third leading scorer,
set new school records with his 209 assists and 74
steals. The point guard also aided the team by
grabbing 79 rebounds.

“Mike's one of our main men,” said Sauers.
“He's the best passer and transition player I've
ever had. He creates things when he's out there.”

Since last year Cinque has worked on his outside
shot, and he'll be utilizing it more this year.

“Mike's shooting has improved,” said Sauers.
“Any team that thinks they are gonna leave him
(uncovered) is making a mistake. He's gonna take
them this year.”

That the rest of the team is much more ac-
customed to playing with Cinque than last year

—Donna Hughes, 5-7 junior guard out -of
Catholic Central. A very smart and intense player
who has a nice outside shot. She will work well
at the guard position with LaBombard.

—Julie Hotmer, 5-7 junior forward out of Ft. Ed-
ward. She has a lot of speed and quickness. She
is perhaps the most aggressive player on the
team.

—Mindy McLauglin, 6-0 sophomore center out
of Unatego. She will be a very tough inside
player. Look for her to work well with Jensen.

“He's a good shooter and offensive player.” said
Sauers. “I'm concerned about his defense and
rebounding.”

Since the Danes have no true center or big man
this year, Axelrod, Dickens and Teague will be the
key players at the two post spots. These are the
three players that will be looked on to help
Ursprung with rebounding.

A junior, Axelrod started the first half of last
season and is a contender to start this year as well.

According to Sauers, Axelrod, at 6-3 from
Peekskill, has a lot more confidence then last year
at this time.

“He's our leading defensive rebounder right
now,” said Sauers, ‘and his offense is coming. He
worries about his offense. As long as he continues
to work he'll be a very important person for us.”

The 6-2 Dickens started for two thirds of the
season last year. The 26-year-old from Mid-
dletown was the second leading rebounder and is
a good short range open jump shooter.

Bishop Maginn. She's a good long range shooter.
Look for a lot of three-point shots.

—Pamela Wilson, 5-10 freshman forward out of
Albany. She has good range. She will deceive
people because of her size.

Albany's roster is not the only thing to have ad-
ded new faces. The coaching staff has gained two
new assistants: Karen Haag and the all-time
leading scorer in Dane history, Rainny Lesane.
Along with Warner, the three minds are working
together to prepare the team for its opening
game against Manhattanville on Nov. 23.

There are, however, a couple of things the
Danes need to work on improving: rebounding

“He'll see a lot of playing time either way,” said
the coach. “He's very effective when we run the
full court zone press.”

“No one trains harder or keeps in better shape
than Tony,’’added Sauers,

The surprise of last year, Teague, is the other
possible starter at the post spot. The 6-2
sophomore was very impressive inside last year.

“Russ has the potential to be an All-SUNYAC
player,” said Sauers of the Brooklyn native. “He's
not big, but is very strong and has the most effec-
tive game of any of our post players.

“If he wanted to work hard at all the phases I
think he could be All-SUNYAG,"'continued Sauers.
“He's a good offensive rebounder. He's getting
better.”

The rest of the squad is made up of returning let-
termen and players moved up from the junior
varsity.

Gloversville’s Andy Goodemote split time bet-
ween the varsity and JV last year. Plagued with a
shin injury for most of the preseason, which held
him back, he would have been a contender for the
two-guard spot. Last year, Goodemote sank 50 for

and passing. “So far they have been our
weaknesses. We need to move on them.”
Warner said, adding that “with the exception of
Jensen, no one has stood out as a rebounder, yet.
I think Richardson, with her quick leaping abili-
ty, will become a strong rebounder though.”

The passing game isn’t up to par either. "We
want to run, but our passing hasn't been able to
keep up with it yet,” Warner said.

On the positive side, the team will rely on its
speed, depth and good shooting. Every position,
from guard to post-player, is very quick.

“Depth wise, every player will have to know,
more than one position.. This is a challenge for
them, but it's something I want to do with
them,” Warner said.

The shooting range of the bigger players has
even surprised Warner. “We know Chris and
Donna are good outside shooters, but having our
big people hitting from outside will open the
lanes for our guards to penetrate.”

On defense, the Danes will concentrate on
pressuring their opponents. A lot of full court
and half court presses are expected. “Hopefully

Offensively, the Danes will work from set of-
fenses. “Don’t expect as many fast breaks as last
season. This year we're working on getting the
ball down court quickly and getting into our of-
fense,” Warner said.

For Warner, who last: year walked away with
her second consecutive SUNYAC Coach-of-the-
Year award, as well as Eastern Regional Coach-of-
the-Year, her person goal is to get back to the
SUNYACs.

“Sure, I'd like to repeat. It's a challenge that I
do accept. We'll take it step-by-step, one game at
a time,” Warner said,

The road to the top won't be easy for Warner

games against tough opponents like Stonybrook
and CCNY, as well as a very competitive tourna-

50 free throws on the JV, and is the Danes’ best

outside shooter.

“He needs game experience,” noted Sauers. “His
skills haven't effectively meshed wtih the team
yet. He is our quickest and should be our best
defensive player, but he hasn't learned to fit in
with the team yet.”

Up from JV is Oswego's Steve Jermyn, the team's
tallest player at 6-5. He was the JV's MVP last year,
scoring 15 points per game and pulling down eight
rebounds.

“He's got good court sense and poise,” said
Sauers. “He's got a lot of potential and eventually
should be a very good post player.”

Junior returning letterman Jeff Kee owns all the
running and conditioning records on the team.
The 6-5 post player from Bayport saw very little
playing action last year, and according to Sauers,
will have a difficult time playing. ahead of the
other post people.

Another junior returnee, Tom McGuire, has had
a leg injury for most of the pre season. According
to Sauers, he is the team’s most aggressive re-
bounder. His status is very uncertain because he
lost so. much valuable playing time.

A player who was red shirted last year, Steve
Sauers, Dick Sauer's son. will divide his time bet-
ween the JV and varsity. A 6-4 point guard from
Albany, Sauers needs more experience playing.

Women’s SUNYAC to be tight race

By Mike Brewster
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Don't expect the women’s SUNYAC
East to be dominated by any one team in
the manner that Albany ran away from
the pack last year.

Teams such as Plattsburgh ans Cortland
are nearly completed with their recent
rebuilding processes and should
challenge the Danes for the top spot.
Oneonta should be next and Binghamton
coach Clyde Robinson is hoping his Col-
onials can steal a few wins from the bet-
ter teams in the conference.

Some things never change as New Paltz
and Potsdam should round out the bot-
tom of the conference. Following is a
breakdown of the individual teams and
their top performers.

Albany — first

Plattsburgh — Plattsburgh may be the
team of the future in the SUNYAC but
their present looks prety good too. Coach
Phoebe Strum has four starters returning

Dixon and T.J. Cornright, made the
SUNYAC All Conference Team as

Kim Nystrom, a major surprise last year.
After working her way into the starting
line-up at mid-season, the Mooers native
went on a scoring tear that was
culminated in a 25-point, 10-rebound per-
formance in a loss to Albany State at
University Gym. Strum is expecting
Nystrom to collect some post-season
honors after this campaign.

Another starter for the Cardinals is
5-foot-11 power forward jill Provost. A
junior, Provost is a transfer from North
Country Community College. The fifth
spot will be awarded to one of the fine
freshmen that Strum recruited for the
Cards. :
. STRENGTHS — Good height in the
frontcourt. Corriwright, Dixon. and
Nystrom are all quality scorers and Cor-
nwright and Nystrom are two of the
toughest rebounders in the league. The
Cards possess one of the best freshmen
crop of players in the Conference.

my advantage.”

It has also worked out to the Danes’ ad-
vantage. Last season, as an off-guard,
LaBombard shot 44 percent from the
field, and 75 percent from the free-throw
line. She averaged nearly 10 points per
game, a figure Warner expects to
significantly increase this season, and was
second only to Lesane in steals with 79.
Her importance to the team can be seen
in LaBombard's playing time last year:
she averaged 24 minutes a game, only
two less than Lesane’s 26 minutes.

“She's a very intelligent player,” said

Albany men’s preview

Sophomore Bill Seward average 8
points per game and led in assists on last
year's JV. His biggest asset is his versatili-
ty, according to Sauers. He was forced to
play any postion from point guard to pust
man last year.

“That makes him valuable,’'said Sai. :s.
“He needs more work to compete >
playing time.”

The Danes will continue to play the fast-
paced pressing-type of game they used
last year.

“On offense we plan to create an up-
tempo game with the press,” said Sauers,
who feels they will be pressing more this

rear.

“The press will be a big thing were gon-
na try and create a lot of turnovers,” he
said.‘Since we have no height we'll try to
beat teams with our quickness. You'll see

Carmello is confident the team will do
well.

“We'll be very good this year,” he said.

only the top three players really have ex-
perience so the Cards may be prone to in-
consistency. Also, with the loss of captain
Darcy Gilbo, it is questionable whether
anyone will come to the forefront and
take the leadership role.

STRENGTHS — A strong winning tradi-
tion will give the Red Dragons an advan-
tage in dose games and the three return-
ing veterans should provide a solid foun-
dation for the younger players.

WEAKNESSES — The Red Dragons have
lost all of their real scorers and re-
bounders and will be hard pressed to find
suitable replacements out of the players
they have available.
PREDICTION — Third.

Warner. “And that can make up for any
weaknesses she may have. She's a good

.outside shooter, and she knows how to

control the game. she knows when to
push the ball down the court, or when to
slow down, and set the team into an
Offense.”

“I like to keep things in control,” said
LaBombard. “I like to direct things, to
read the defense and set up the offense.
Playing point, I can see what's going on."

Warner will be alternating LaBombard
with Donna Hughes at the point position
in order to give the Danes a different look
in subsequent games.

“We're playing aggressive. hitting the
boards. If we play together we can
definitely go to the NCAAs.”

Cinque concluded that playing together
will be a key. "That's how we're gonna

“The two compliment each other,” said
Warmer. “They're both very competitive,
they go at it in practice every day. Both
can handle the ball well, and shoot.”

So, the Danes will be compensating for
the loss of Lesane by giving the position a
new image.

that Rainy was not your ordinary Divi-

At this time last year, with only one
returning starter in Ursprung, things
weren't looking that good for the Danes,
but Sauers, one of the winningest coaches
in Division III was able to pull off a very
impressive season,

The thing to remember about the Danes
is that even when things aren't looking so
wonderful, Sauers always has something
up his sleeve. So don’t be surprised if the

more games.

STRENGTHS — Binghamton's new ac-
quisitions and returning performers from
last year give them a respectable amount

~ of talent when compared to other teams.

WEAKNESSES — No rebounding center
and no big scorer. Everybody in the star-
ting line-up can score a few points, but the
Colonials lack at 13-18 ppg. scores.
PREDICTION — Fifth.

New Paltz — Sixth. No detailed informa-
tion available.

Potsdam — In the past three seasons,
the Bears’ number of wins has increased
from two to three to four. It's a good bet
the trend will continue as the Bears return
the nucleus of last year’s team that finish-
ed in the cellar. Barring any vast improve-
ment on the part of these players, the
Bears will again be buried deeply in the
pack. Senior Lori Clark will be the
shooting guard and junior Jody Heller
(13.5 ppg last year) will probably again be
the leading scorer. Six-foot center Vell
Patraw will be trying to help the Bears in
a department they were hurting in last
year — rebounding. Sophomore Mary
MicHacik will handle the point guard
position.

STRENGTHS — The Bears strength is
their experience, although all of their ex-
periences have been losing ones.

WEAKNESSES — The Potsdam program
just doesn’t get the talented players other
teams in the SUNYAC do. Besides Heller,
they don’t have another threat that
makes opponents concemed.
PREDICTION — Last. o

future; finals week. That will make
LaBombard's already hectic schedule that
much more impossible, putting addi-
tional pressure on herself and her
husband.

“Bob helps a lot,’ said LaBombard. “He
does a lot of the housework, and when I
had late practices, dinner would be cook-
ed and ready when I got home. He was
an athlete in college, so he understands
what I’m going through.”

“We try to spend as much time together
as possible,” she concluded. “At least
once a week we try to do something
together. And I am happy.” Oo

STRENGTHS — Many young players see
the opportunity to play and thus may pro-
duce some scrappiness in the Red
Dragons. Also, three starters back who
have seen some action.

WEAKNESSES — Many. No leadership,

quality freshmen.

KEY LOSSES — Al Bishop, last year's

Plattsburgh new threat in SUNYAC

By Mike Brewster
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Last spring, after his Potsdam Bears had
gone 32-0 and had won the Division II
National Championship, Jerry Welsh told
a Sports Illustrated reporter what the
secret was to his upstate New York
basketball dynasty.

“We have fun,” Welsh said. “If it was
up to me, we wouldn't keep score.”

Welsh will find any SUNYAC coach
more than willing to accommodate him
on his wishes. Go a little half court 5-on-5
with Potsdam and call it a draw,

Don’t blame Welsh too much, however,
for playing innocent. Considering last
year's perfect season and subsequent
Sports Illustrated layout, the last thing the
veteran coach wants to do is further incite
hoop fans and players throughout New
York who consider a chance to knock off
the hated Bears their very own National
Championship game.

Welsh doesn't really have much need
for deception. however. Again, his team
has more pure talent and ability than its
SUNYAC opponents. Again, seemingly
crippling graduation losses will prove ob-
solete as players who didn’t see a lot of
action last year prove that nobody ever
heard of them only because they were
playing behind All-Americans. And again,
they will win the SUNYAC East. Will
Potsdam lose some games this year? Yes,
but probably not in the SUNYAC
Conference.

The race for second place is going to be
one of the best in years. Albany's peren-
nial hold on the position may come to an
end at the hand of, you heard it here first,
long-time doormat Plattsburgh State.
First-year coach Doug Riley has pulled off
a recruiting coup that would make Jim
Boeheim wonder why he’s wasting his
time in Syracuse.

Albany arch-rival Binghamton will hope
to use last season's playoff victory at
University Gym as an impetus to beat out
Albany in the regular season for third.

New Paltz will again be an enjoyable
team to watch, but will again run and gun
themselves into mediocrity. Coach John
Konowitz said his team will continue to
haye a “running, flexible’ offense.
Translation: his players will again take
turns going one on five.

Cortland has a strong nucleus back, but
as a team they lack quickness and this
deficiency will be exploited as the Con-
ference is dominated by teams that will
be pushing the ball up the floor. Oneonta
is not even in a position to have an intra-
squad game as of yet as they are bringing
up players from JV to try and salvage a
year with a serious talent problem. Coach
Flewellin was on a sabbatical at Comell
University and virtually no recruitment
has been made for 18 months.

Following is a team-by-team breakdown
of the SUNYAC east:

Potsdam — All-American forward Bren-
dan Mitchell is back for his senior year to
cement his position as one of the top Divi-
sion III players in the nation. The 6-foot-5
forward is the embodiment of the Bear
style of play. He goes hard to the hoop,
shoots well, and finished fast breaks in a
way that tests the durability of rims all
over the conference. He should also
average double figures in rebounds.(If
you went to the Albany-Potsdam game
last year at University Gym, Mitchell is
the one everyone was talking about when
they were saying, “Can't anyone stop that

n)

S altiough Mitchell's fellow All-
American, Pony Bullock, has run out of
eligibility, the Bear offense won't be sput-
tering. Guards Andrew Gregoire and
Steve Babiarz will simply step in and be
the next recipients in a long line of
Potsdam guards who have benefitted
from the Bear style of play to score easy
baskets. Gregoire, a senior, will inherit
Bullock's point position and sophmore
Babiarz will be the shooting guard.

Joe Smith, a 6-foot-3 forward and pegg-
ed as the player of the future for the

Bears, will start at one of the forwards
along with Mitchell. The former St. An-
thony’s Prep star from Nesconset sat
behind John Leonard last year, but should
now come into his own.

At center will be Barry Stantors a Final
Four All-Star team member and All-
SUNYAC Selection. The 6-foot-5 senior
will again prove to be too strong for his
peers around the Conference. His reboun-
ding will be the key to starting the fast
break that eventually wears out teams
who gamely stay with the Bears for a
short while.

Where the Bears really kill their op-
ponents is off the bench, if one can use
that term when referring to Potsdam. The
Bears don't really have a bench, just guys
who don't play at the beginning of the
game because the rules s. can only

and shot 87 percent trom the line. The
6-foot-3 junior’s transfer is amazing when
it is considered that most Division I
transfers into the SUNYAC usually wind
up at Jerry Welsh’s office on the second
floor of Potsdam's Maxy Hall. Although
Riley is guarding his new acquisition with
zeal usually reserved for heads of state
(most SUNYAC coaches contacted knew
virtually nothing of Harley) the secret is
leaking out. According to Plattsburgh
Press-Republican sportswriter Mike
Brown, Harley scored 46 points in Platt-
sburgh’s opening contest, a 110-78 victory
over McGill of Montreal.

The route Harley took to Plattsburgh
started in high school, where he played
under Riley. When Riley accepted the job
at Plattsburgh, Harley followed his former.
coach north.

games

play five players at a time. Seniors Timmy
Bristol, Timmy Harris, junior Doug Batts,
and freshmen Michael Brown and Mit-
chell Harris will see just as much playing
time as some of the starters.

STRENGTHS — Incredible depth right to
the last man, fine recruiting year, in Bren-
dan Mitchell the best returning player in
the SUNYAC East. best Division III cowd
in the nation (in Potsdam it’s either ice
fishing or basketball), more talent than
any other team.

WEAKNESSES — Inexperience at the
guards, the team may be ripe for a let-
down after an incredible 85-86 campaign,
lack of true point guard with the depar-
ture of Bullock.

KEY LOSSES — The mark of a great pro-
gram is having a great year after heavy
graduation losses. In the departures of
Bullock, Tom Conboy, Leonard, and Troy
Tumer, the Bears lost four of their top six
players, but it seems Welsh always has a
couple blue chippers waiting in the wings.

NEWCOMERS — This year's blue chip-
pers are the aforementioned Brown and
Harris. Walk-on Darrel Evans is also a
freshman.

PREDICTION — First. The only way
Potsdam won't finish on top is if Welsh’s
wish came true and no scores are kept.

Plattsburgh — The biggest surprise in the
SUNYAC Conference in the last decade or
so is being kept in Plattsburgh State's
Memorial Hall. New head coach Doug
Riley comes north to Platsburgh bearing
gifts from his former job at a North
Carolina Division III school.

The gem of Riley's recruiting season is
Division I transfer Holman Harley, a
starter for West Virginia last season.
Described by The Sporting News as “part
of the best backcourt duo in the Atlantic
10," Harley, a sophomore last year,
averaged 8.1 ppg, 4.7 assists pg. 2.0 spg

Harley, who was described by Brown as
having “definite NBA aspirations,” is not
the only new player in Cardinal Red.

John Ramsay, who averaged 18 ppg and
12 rebounds a game at the college where
Riley coached at last year. decided to ac-
company his coach to Plattsburgh. Also
new to the Cards is 6-foot-4 forward Andy
Ponda of Indiana, who has a shot at star-
ting. To top everything, Riley's ace in the
hole is a 6-foot-11 center who will be com-
ing to Plattsburgh in January. When they
combine with senior Marty Safford and
sophomore Rudy Outlaw on the boards,
Harley should be receiving plenty of
outlet passes to run with. Safford is also a
fine inside scorer.

STRENGTHS — Several athletes with
Division I athletic ability and in Harley a
bona fide Division | player. If Harley is
what sources say he is, he should emerge
as the best player in the conference. If
Outlaw can relax, he will be one of the
best players in the conference.

WEAKNESSES — If Harley emerges as
just an individual star on a team that was
already plagued somewhat by selfishness
last year, look for Plattsburgh to beat
Albany one night and lose to Mohawk
Community the next.

KEY LOSSES — Guard Joey Wright
graduated and forward Mark McEntyre
transferred to Arizona State.

KEY NEWCOMERS — Harley, Ramsay.
and Ponda. Nothing else has to be said.
PREDICTION — Second. Yes, Albany has
their two players back and basketball is
not a one or two man game, but Harley is
too good. Although Brown says that Platt-
sburgh will not lose in a game in the
SUNYAC Conference (yes, Jerry Welsh,
you read that correctly), a few good
players aren't enough to beat Potsdam.
But the Cardinals will finally rise to the
elite of the Conference.

Binghamton — Binghamton will not lose
its hold on third place to Albany without
a fight. Senior sharpshooter Barry
Goldberg will keep busy bombing three
pointers while fellow senior Mike
Shuman, a 6foot-5 center, will wipe the
boards clean. Dave Hochberg (his in-
famous free throws beat Albany with no
time left in the ECAC playoffs last year)
will also help in the rebounding and
junior Mark Jones will take the point.

STRENGTHS — Good overall balance.
They don’t force too much, but they run
the break when they have the opportuni-
ty. Goldberg is one of the best shooters in
the league and all of the starters are
capable of scoring.

WEAKNESSES — The Colonials lack a
game breaker, someone to go to in the
clutch. Also, team leadership is a question
mark with the departure of last year's
captain, John Dummeler.

NEWCOMERS — No freshmen will see
much playing time.

KEY LOSSES — Dummeler.
PREDICTION — Fourth.

New Paltz — New Paltz has enough talent
to finish in the middle of the pack despite
their penchant for throwing the ball
away. 6-foot-2 point guard John Bowe
must stay in control when he leads the of-
fense, Seniors Marcelle Milan and Daryl
Gyree must crash the boards if Bowe is
going to be able to push the ball up the
floor and beat some people down the
court. As always height will be a problem
for New Paltz as they run about 6-foot-2
across the front line.

STRENGTHS — Overall quickness is ex-
ceptional, Bowe and swingman Hayward
have a great first step. Four returning
starters give New Paltz some stability that
they lacked in recent years.

WEAKNESSES — New Paltz just won't
get the rebounds to run their break as
much as they want and will therefore
force their running game when nothing is
there. They still lack an adequate inside
game and team cohesion.

NEWCOMERS — No real impact
players.

PREDICTION — Fifth.

Cortland — Cortland may be the most ex-
perienced team in the SUNYACS. They
have eight players returning for their
senior year, including four starters and
their top two scorers. Senior guard Brian
Hoyt will again lead the Red Dragon at-
tack. Harry Barr, Cortland’s leading scorer
(16 ppg) and one of the best pure shooters
in the league, will be joined by fellow
senior and last year's second leading
scorer Mark Waneright in trying to keep
the Red Dragons above Oneonta. Cor-
tland’s primary deficiency is their inabili-
ty to run a fast break. They have the re-
bounders in Ben Katock and 6-foot-3 cap-
tain Mike Rabowski, but lack speed in the
backcourt.

STRENGTHS — The experienced Red
Dragons have plenty of team leadership
in Hoyt, Barr and Rabowski. On paper,
one of best half-court offenses in the
league.

WEAKNESSES — The Red Dragons are
slow and lumbering and will be simply
outrun in a year in which most teams in
the SUNYAC East seem to be ready to fast
break at every opportunity.

PLAYERS LOST — No notable losses.
PREDICTION — Sixth.

Oneonta — The Oneonta program is in
limbo and coach Don Flewellin has put
no pressure on his troops. He knows
they're going nowhere and they aren't
even thinking of SUNYAC opposition at
this point. John Fleming will be the Red
Dragons primary weapon as he comes off
a junior year in which he scored 9.8 points
per game. Center Steve Brumveld will
have to handle the boards almost
singlehandedly as the team has no one
bigger than 6-foot-1, besides the 6-foot-5
senior.

Is education weak?

To the Editor:

American Education Week, November 16-22, began
after World War I draft boards discovered that about 25
percent of all draftees were illiterate. In 1919, the Na-
tional Education Association, the American Legion and
the U.S. Office of Education launched an educational
campaign to make the public aware of this and related
problems. Out of that effort came a plan for an annual
nationwide observance, the first of which was held in
1921.

American Education Week has traditionally attempted
to focus attention on the American Public School System;
what it is and what it stands for. Certainly, no other na-
tion provides the scope and breadth of a free public
school system dedicated to the education of all its
children. This tradition makes the American Public
School System unique, even today, among all the nations
of the world.

But maybe the time has come to re-focus our attention
from a celebration of what it has been to a commitment
of what it ought to be. The notable reports of the last
several years have attempted to bring into perspective
global impact of our educational system versus those of
the other industrial nations of the world. These reports
have warned us that our educational system can no longer
provide merely an adequate program which only allows
our children to compete with one another for the jobs
within the American market system.

The entire world has become one large, inclusive
market place. American children are now competing with
their peers from Great Britain, from Japan and China,
from Germany and the Soviet Union, and a myriad of
other countries which in the last few decades have ap-
parently surpassed us in their commitment to the educa-
tion of their youth.

The most recent example of the Global Market Place is
Great Britain’s introduction of the “‘Big Bang’’, a com-

Stop the bus

To the Editor:

Recently one of the SUNY bus drivers, for no apparent
reason, Called a student a ‘“‘nigger’’ and said, ‘‘I’ve had it
with these people,” referring to blacks in general. Upon
hearing this, I and another black student became very
angry. While we were dismayed by the driver’s outburst,
the white students, on the other hand, pretended not to
have heard anything. Does this lack of reaction mean
apathy or agreement? Would this incident nave become
public if no black students were on the bus? What hap-
pened to all those students who are so appalled and
disgusted by the situation in South Africa? Weren’t any
of them on the bus that day? Or was this incident so
dissimilar and so less severe that no reaction was
necessary? E

Well, for those white students who were on the bus who
heard the racial slur the driver made but did not give it a
second thought, don’t feel like spineless hypocrites
because you acted just like expected. Obviously, blacks
don’t wait for white people to act on their behalf. Just
like we didn’t wait for your help during the il Rights
movement in this country, or now in South Africa. It ap-
pears that altruism doesn’t run in the white blood.

As for the driver, he was reprimanded and allowed to
resume his job. I wanted him fired, in order to prevent
similar incidents from reoccuring, and for subjecting me,
along. with others. concerned, to such a blatant racial at-
tack. Ignorance confined to the walls of the skull is
harmless until it is expressed publicly. I would hope that
the next time anyone takes such liberties in expressing his
prejudices, they would do so in the company of those who
share them:

We want to get off

To the Editor:

The most important lesson we have learned in our three
and a half years at Albany is that it is impossible to
challenge the administration. Our most recent problem
has to do with the tyrannical dictatorship of Residential
Life.

Being seniors, we decided that we would like to live off
campus for our final semester. We, and many others in
the same situation, were appalled to find out that the
department of Residential Life refuses to release dorm
residents from their housing contracts without a charge.
Students wishing to move off campus between the fall
and spring semesters are required to pay $416.50 for eight
weeks of residence in which they will not be there.

It is a disgrace to charge students for services which
they will never receive. The best answer we got to explain
this abomination is that last year the school started
becoming self-sufficient. That is, the state is weaning the
university of its funding for residential purposes. Is this
an adequate reason to enforce a policy that acts directly
against the students? This policy of charging students a
fee in order to move off campus discourages most
students, and inhibits personal growth. In a university as
prestigious as Albany, one would think that the ad-
ministration would be helpful, and encourage personal
growth rather than repress it. This act is one example of
how the university exploits the students.

In our research, we have found out that the male
residence percentage is well over 100 percent, leaving
many male freshmen in increased occupancy rooms. In
addition, the admissions office at the present time is ad-
mitting new students for the spring semester. In other
words, there would be no problem filling the spaces of
residents wishing to live off campus. It is unjust to charge
students fees to leave the dorms, when there are others
who are living uncomfortably, just waiting for the oppor-
tunity to move into a regular occupancy room, and still
other new students looking tor any on campus housing.
We strongly hope that the Office of Residential Life will
take the time to review and explain this unjust practice.

Nicaraguan no-no

To the Editor:

Once again, we are reminded (‘‘Nicaragua: What
Now?” by David Finz, Nov 11 ASP) of the wonderful
blossoming democracy and peaceloving intentions of the
possessors of the largest army in Central America. We are
also gratuitously reminded of the evil capitalists in
Washington whose raison d’etre is the quashing of human
beings and to “‘bleed Nicaragua dry for our profit.’’ Does
it seem as if you have heard this before? Let us leave
ideological considerations aside at this moment and just
look into some facts about Nicaragua and the United
States.

First, let’s look at the glorious revolution in Managua
in 1979, The first thing we hear about the Sandinistas is
that they represented ‘‘the people’ when they, a rag-tag
band of approximately 5,000 men, took over a country
defended by an army that was no longer willing to defend
a leader who fled. (The difference between this and what
happened in Cuba is that Castro had fewer men.)

The Carter administration immediately recognized the
Sandinista government as the legitimate government of
Nicaragua and, as a measure of support, extended ap-
proximately ten times the constant dollar amount of aid
to the new government than had ever been delivered to
the Somoza regime in total. With this kind of support, it
is unclear why they turned to the Soviet Union and its
proxy Cuba for aid and military equipment even before
the advent of the Reagan administration.

As for the nature of Sandinista polity, let us be careful
not to be fooled by appearances. Whether there are seven
parties represented in the National Assembly is irrelevant
in itself. After all, up to 1968, Czechoslovakia had non-
communist members of its National Assembly: this
facade of pluralism is not too sophisticated a ruse; it is
obvious to observers of Czechoslovakia the nature of the
regime there. The fact that the major opposition parties
boycotted the Sandinista elections last year makes the
conclusion of the ‘neutral’? United Nations observers
less than the be all to end all argument. The fact that
women, through day care are being drawn into the
workforce is not exactly the best news I have heard of for
such a traditional society. Of course I leave myself open
here to charges of misogyny, but as the purpose of this
essay is not to explore the role of women in traditional
societies, I must only leave implicit the problems with this
“‘improvement.”” a

La Prensa? To put it as succinctly as possible, the press
in the United States is not disallowed to print or distribute
revolutionary material. Witness the Militant or many
books in our libraries. Furthermore, the readership of La
Prensa is predominantly middle class and centrist. Such a
group is always the first target of marxist governments.

Mr. Finz and I can agree on one topic: the chances of
the Contras winning is rather slim. From this assertion we
diverge, however. The contras, equipped with missile
launchers, helicopters, and large quantities of land
transport vehicles are not exactly the ‘‘rat-tat[sic]’’ band
he makes them out to be. They are fairly well disciplined
(for an insurgent group in the third world), highly
motivated, and about four times as large as the San-
dinistas were when they took over. The reason they will
not win is because the Soviet Union will not let them.
Unless, of course, the Soviets deem it a risk dispropor-
tionate to the profit involved. It’s called the ‘‘asset to
liability shift.””

Which leads us to the point of what kind of threat the
Nicaraguans pose. Drawing the parallel with Cuba is of
course amusing, because it is the presence of Cuban ‘‘ad-
visors’* in Nicaragua which makes the danger clear. For
one who doubts the importance of the area, please con-
sult a map. Not only are there enough troubled regimes in
the area (e.g., Mexico), but there is a Canal in the area
which is of some importance to every American.

Some brief points peripheral to Mr. Finz’ argument:
The Vietnam bogeyman is clever, but is is also inapt. The
differences between Nicaragua and Vietnam are too
numberous to list here, but let us simply start with
geography. Location? Size? Strategic importance? As for
the execution of the Vietnam war, there will hopefully be
no parallel (although the American ineptitude in Grenada
makes one nervous).

As for the Afghani parallel: the Soviets took over the
country in twenty four hours and have been engaged in a
leisurely colonial pacification ever since (similar to that of
Khazakistan in the 1920’s or any outlying province of
Rome for a few hundred years). As for Gorbachev’s
troop withdrawals: withdrawing mobile air defense units
is not exactly the same as throwing in the towel.

I regret that space limits, but I hope the point I make is
clear: Please, O gentle reader, make an effort for an
understanding without previous bias. As someone much
more famous than I said, there is no reason to “blame
America first.’”

but the route is running through
the town. We wanted to serve the
eastern end of town, and part of
the University is in the town.””

The Capital District Transit
Authority has, according to
Moore, “‘thelped with the fun-
ding, but otherwise they [the two
bus systems] are two separate
things. This is specifically for the
town of Guilderland.””

The service can’t be expanded
or cut back until after the six-
month experimental period, when
Moore said Guilderland officials
will ‘take a look and see what
we’d like to do.”*

Moore also said that if many
students use the bus during the
six-month period, ‘‘there is a
definite possibility” that the town
would consider adding more
buses or routes to the service.

Guilderland is ‘‘welcoming
SUNY students to use the bus,”
said Moore. ‘‘We’d like to have
them try it out and see if it can be
of use to them.”

Dutch Quad freshman Suzanne
Rochford said that the
Guilderland bus system ‘‘sounds
like a good idea’’ and said she
would use it because it would
“save a lot of money from using
taxis.””

One Indian Quad student said,
“I think it is a good way [to get to
Crossgates], and if I didn’t have
my own car, I would use it.”’

Sophomore Ira Cohen said, ‘‘I
think having a bus will allow
more people to get jobs. I wanted
to work at Crossgates last year,
but I couldn’t get there. It will cut
down on taxis, and it will allow
[students] to get there easier when
we need things.”

Denise Eppolito of State Quad
said, ‘I would definitely consider
using this form of transportation.
It is especially useful for people
not having any other way of get-
ting there. The fareis fair!” =

Library hours cutbacks elicit student protests

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Try-
ing to cope with budget woes, a
number of colleges across the
country are cutting back the
hours during which their campus
libraries are open, prompting
some of the largest student pro-
tests of the year.

Last week, for example, 2,000
students jammed the University
of Arizona’s Main Library in pro-
test of the library closing at mid-
night. It used to be open until 2
AM.

Two weeks ago, 600 students
sat in at the Perry-Castaneda
Library at the University of Texas
at Austin, and then held a
candlelight study-in outside the
building.

Vegas night

The event will be held on a
Thursday because “‘most people
go out on Fridays and Satur-
days,”’ Perlstein said.

Having the event on a Thurs-
day should make it ‘‘more suc-
cessful,”’ he added.

“Between all of [the groups
participating], there’s no reason
why we can’t cover all of the cam-

pus,’? Rosenstein said. “‘It’s
helpful that we’re all working
together.””

“Our goal [as a quad board] is
to provide activities for the people
on the quads,’’ said Rosenstein.
“This is something different.””

Perlstein said a similar event at
SUNY Binghamton is that
schodl’s biggest money-making
event.

According to Maglione,
“‘there’s no way it’s going to
fail.”” a

Student dinner

said Martinez, because he had
previous engagements. This year
“the company was good, but I
moved off campus to avoid UAS
[University Auxiliary Services]
food,’ she said.

Lynn Matyjewicz, a
sophomore, asked her poetry pro-
fessor Ronald Welburn. The two
said they discussed a vareity of
topics during dinner, including
faculty recreational activities,
problems with University
understaffing, poverty in Ap-
palachia, and Latin music.

Matyjewicz said that it ‘‘was
kind of strange that they didn’t
have a speaker.’’

But, Kay said, the “‘purpose is
to be informal and provide a
casual atmosphere. It was decided
that a speaker wasn’t necessary.””

Although officials of the
Cancer Society would not state
their expected fund goal, they
said they are very optimistic. ‘“We
just want to generate the fact that
this will be a fun event,’’ Cine
said.

“AMA is aiming for it to be a
fun way to raise money for a good
purpose,’’ Hirsch said.

One way AMA and the Cancer
Society plan to raise more money
is by bringing some well-known
community members to the event.
Olympic wrestler Jeff Blatnick
and University President Vincent
O'Leary will be participating. O

And, trying to defuse student
threats to hold similar library sit-
ins, University of Wisconsin of-
ficials appropriated money to ex-
tend library hours, which had
been shortened as a belt-
tightening measure this fall.

Tom Swan, head of the United
States Student Association in
Washington, DC, said he predicts
there’ll be more such demonstra-
tions across the country as more
colleges — scrambling for ways to
save money — cut back library
hours.

“The issue is not so much the
hours,” said Michael Whalen, a
senior at UT Austin who heads
the student protest group. ‘‘The

2

ce

things inside have not been
updated.”

“It is more important in the
long run that books are bound
properly, periodicals are kept in
order and preserved, and that we
are able to order new books.””

“We don’t want to be in-
complete or second rate,’’ he
said.

The energy industry slump has
left the state about $3 billion
short of what it thought it’d have
to spend this year, forcing state
officials to tell public colleges to
cut their budgets.

UT’s library was just one cam-
pus service to feel the pinch.

“‘We’ve been in a hiring freeze
since March,’’ said library
spokesman John Kupersmith.
“We've had to cancel over 400
journal subscriptions and we’re
likely to cancel more, and we’ve
reduced our book budget.’

“The hours are a short-term ef-
fect, but the long-term effects of
not buying books and journals is
significant.’*

Arizona students were most
upset by the 19-hours-a-week cut
in library hours. Their big protest
won seven more hours of open
stacks a week.

Librarian David Laird,
however, said ‘‘fonly] when the
budget is restored will we return
to regular hours.’’

Moreover, ‘‘when people get
into research and finals [hours
are] going to be a big deal,” said
UT Austin’s Whalen.

Other libraries have chosen not
to cut back hours as a response to
budgetary cutbacks.

“We have not cut back service
hours, but we have cut services
and the level of staffing here,’’
said Barbara Kemp, a librarian
for the Washington State Univer-
sity library.

“The amount saved compared
to the uproar it causes is not
worth it,’’ she said. ‘‘But things
are definitely reshelved more
slowly.”” oO

Report says cutbacks may
cause education ‘suicide’

Washington, D.C.
(AP) A national commission headed by
former Secretary of Education Terrel H.
Bell says the United States is risking ‘‘na-
tional suicide’ unless it sharply increases
spending on its schools and colleges.

The academic and civic leaders, in a
report commissioned by a state college
group, rebuked President Reagan and
others who have sought to cut aid for col-
lege students.

The report, released recently, called for
a domestic Marshall Plan to nearly double
the number of college-educated adults by
the turn of the century.

“Public officials who propose budget
reductions in education at a time when the
republic is handicapped by the burden of
an undereducated populace are unthink-
ingly abetting an act of national suicide,”
the Bell commission said. ‘‘Their priorities
are wrong.””

The 56-page report, ‘‘To Secure the
Blessings of Liberty,’’ was prepared for
the American Association of State Col-
leges and Universities, which is holding its
annual meeting in Phoenix. Bell addressed
the group on the recommendations.

The 22-member panel included Arkan-
sas Gov. Bill Clinton and former

Mississippi Gov. William Winter, as well
as a half-dozen college presidents, the
heads of both national teacher unions and
the chancellor of New York City’s schools.

The association represents 372 four-year
campuses that enroll 2.5 million students
and award a third of all bachelor degrees.

It urged states to keep college tuitions as
low as possible, in part to help recruit
more minority students and stop the
growth of “‘an American underclass.” It
also urged the state colleges to take the
lead in producing the 1 million new
teachers needed by public schools in the
next decade, and to help cut the dropout
rate in half.

The commission criticized states for cur-
tailing spending on remedial programs.
Remedial education will be needed “for
the foreseeable future’’ in the state col-
leges, it said.

The report’s pungent language echoed
the 1983 ‘‘A Nation At Risk’’ report by the
National Commission on Excellence in
Education, which Bell appointed.

That report warned of a “‘rising tide of
mediocrity” in U.S. schools and likened
their condition to ‘‘a unilateral act of
disarmament.”’ It spurred many states to
raise high school graduation standards and
boost school budgets. oO

Also scoring for Albany was Schoenig
(42, 29:55), Glaser (49, 30:16), and
sophomore Vernon Miller (43, 30:28).

Albany Coach Roberto Vives said, ‘‘We
did well, placing sixth. Under the cir-
cumstances, I think we gave it our best
shot and I can’t ask for anything else.”

Clearly, though, the story of the day for
Albany was Hoff. The senior co-captain
had a storybook season and didn’t want to
end it in the snow at Fredonia. Hoff has
been pointing towards this race since
August when ran 60 miles a week in
preparation for the cross-country season.

‘What is really satisfying about Tim’s
season,”’ said Coach Vives, “‘is that it
shows hard work pays off. This has to
rank high on my list of personal coaching
experiences.”

As he did two weeks ago at the state
meet, Hoff was about 20th at the mile. He
said, ‘‘I was comfortable at that position
at states and finished well (seventh) so I
thought I’d use the some strategy.”

He constantly picked off runners to the
point where he was eighth with a mile to
go. He passed three runners to finish fifth
and was only a second behind All-
American and National Champion Jukka
Tammisuo of St. Lawrence.

Every meet since the SUNYACS, where
Hoff was fifth, has been an improvement
over the previous one. In the four major
meets Hoff ranged from fifth to ninth. He
was a mark of consistency throughout the
season, pacing the Danes in almost every
meet.

“The difference in Tim Hoff from this
year to last is his increased confidence in
his abilities. He is so relaxed,”’ said Vives.
“T thought I almost saw a smile under his
scowl when I was yelling at him with a mile
to go,” added an exhuberant Vives.

Hoff later recalled, ‘‘I really felt i
trol the whole race and I knew I made tic
nationals once they crossed the line. It’s a
great feeling because I don’t know if I eve:
wanted to do something this badly. [’m

glad the work paid off.”’

Before this race, Hoff’s previous best in
a regional qualifier was 55th. He made the
nationals though as a sophomore when
Hoff was the team’s number six runner as
the whole team qualified for nationals.

In fact, this marks the fourth con-
secutive year where the Danes have been
represented at the cross-country nationals.
In 1983 and 1984, the team qualified, while
Parlato did last year.

However, Hoff would like to place
higher than previous Danes, who ran at the
nationals. He should have an advantage
next week as he will be running once again
on the same course at Fredonia.

Corporate sponsors now share Bowl marquees

(AP) The name of the game used to be so
simple: Sun Bowl, Holiday Bowl, Gator
Bowl, Fiesta Bowl.

Now, the name of the game is a name
game: it’s the John Hancock Sun Bowl,
the Sea World Holiday Bowl and, soon, it
will be the Mazda Gator Bowl.

Even the Sugar Bowl, one of the original
four New Year’s Day games has a new
name - the USF&G Sugar Bowl.

With television money dwindling, cor-
porate cash has arrived to bail out sports,
but the rescue has a price - and it’s right up
in front of the name.

How far away is the FTD Rose Bowl?
We can’t have the Sunkist Orange Bowl,
though, because that company has already
bought into the Fiesta Bowl.

The Sugar Bowl, which has produced six
of the last 13 national champions, is the
first of the majors to agree to share its
marquee with a business partner.

The change created no great outcry in
New Orleans, where the economy has been
struggling for some time. The host city has
more important things on its mind right
now, such as local government cutting
back to a four-day work week and
threatened library closings.

Whether ABC, which televises the Sugar
Bowl, will accept the new name is uncer-
tain. It is one of the items included in cur-
rent negotiations on a contract to replace
the expiring six-year, $4.5 million deal bet-
ween the network and the bowl.

Last year, faced with a similar dilemma
at the Sunkist-Fiesta Bowl, NBC balked at
including the corporate title.

“It was our feeling that we didn’t want
to go to a name for a New Year’s Day bowl
game that might impinge on the value of
the game,”’ Ken Schranzer, NBC’s e:
ecutive vice president for sports, said.
“We hopéd at the time, by our leadership,
that we could stop the movement.”

They could not.

14 roles

LAB THEATRE

“Our decision had repercussions,’’ he
said. ‘‘They made an arrangement with
Sunkist and it was Sunkist Fiesta Bowl
everywhere-except on TV, It was a source
of some concern and put their relationship
in some doubt.””

Sunkist paid the Fiesta Bowl $500,000
the first year, with the contract escalating
to $1.5 million over four years. It is the go-
ing rate for such sponsorships and it was
enough to cause friction between the bowl
and the network,

“This year, we are acknowledging the
reality that a number of bowls have cor-
porate sponsors,”’ Schranzer said. ‘The
economic marketplace made it sensible to
append the name.”

The Fiesta Bowl is now the Sunkist
Fiesta Bowl in NBC’s references. It is no
coincidence that the sponsor has agreed to
buy perhaps as many as 15 advertising
spots of 30 seconds each during the
telecast. It made no such purchase last
year.

The advertising link is an important part
of the corporate picture. By building the
TV spots into the sponsorship agreement,
the network saves sales commissions and
can afford to sell the spots for a lower rate,
allowing the sponsor to get a bargain as
well.

The event, of course, is the primary
beneficiary of the arrangement. The infu-
sion of corporate cash allows bigger
payouts that can atttract top teams.

So, with no conference ties restricting
invitations and Sunkist’s money sup-
plementing NBC’s, the Fiesta Bowl can bid
for independents like Miami and Penn
State, the nation’s No. | and No. 2 teams,
and a potential national championship
game.

Next year, major league baseball players
will have the word “‘Rawlings”’ stitched on
their uniform sleeves, part of the payback
to the sporting goods company which pro-

Danes defeated by New Haven in finale, 45-28 -

By Mike MacAdam
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

The New Haven Chargers, who
had averaged 326 yards passing
going into Saturday’s game
against Albany State, confounded
the Great Dane defense by
downshifting to a running attack
in the first half to cruise to a 45-28
victory.

8-2 New Haven prevented 4-6
Albany State from enjoying at
least a .500 record in what was a
frustrating season for head coach
Bob Ford’s Danes.

The Chargers’ unlikely rushing
hero was 5’11”? junior Ron Con-
yers, who started the season as a
defensive secondary man and who
had been-used primarily in short
yardage situations. Until
Saturday.

Conyers piled up 63 yards on 14
carries for all three of New
Haven’s first half touchdowns, as
the only possession New Haven
failed to score on was halted by
the first half whistle.

“We're a passing team and
don’t have a lot of running back
depth,” ‘said the Chargers’ head.
coach Chris Palmer. “We pro-
bably surprised them by running a
lot. We were prepared to be in the
T-formation.””

**We didn’t play any defense,’’
said Ford. ‘‘Coming into this
game, we had pass defenses com-
ing out of our ying-yang. With all
those three-man fronts, they real-
ly hurt us with the run.”’

Except for two fumbles by
freshman quarterback Pat Ryder
in the first half, the Albany of-
fense looked as though they could
match every Charger score with

“We didn’t play any
defense. Coming into this
game, we had pass
defenses coming out of
our ying-yang.’’

one of their own.

Albany took the opening
kickoff and drove 74 yards as
Ryder literally carried the offense
on his shoulders by running or
passing for all, but five of those
yards. His three-yard draw put
the Danes up, 7-0.

New Haven quarterback
Michael Horton’s 48-yard pass to
sophomore Bob Wietecha put the
ball on the Albany 12, and two
Conyers runs later it was 7-7, with
the running back sweeping left for
ten yards and the score.

Ryder’s first fumble gave the
ball back to New Haven at mid-
field, and Conyers’ second
touchdown on the first play of the
second quarter made it 14-7.

New Haven added a field goal
set up by Ryder’s second fumble,
and a 52-yard pass play from
Horton to sophomore wide-out
Kevin Haley combined with an
eight-yard pass interference
penalty put the Chargers in posi-
tion for Conyers’ two-yard
touchdown.

Albany responded with a one-

yard touchdown run by freshman
fullback Pete Pedro after two big
plays, a 30 yard reverse and a
31-yard pass reception by junior
Glenn Carlin, put Albany on the
New Haven two.

Down ‘by 24-14 going into the
second half and facing a team
whose offense looked unstop-
pable, the Danes were looking for
a lift. And they got it.

Senior running back Ro Mit-
chell received the second half
kickoff at the 20, spun off a log
jam of New Haven defenders at
the 35, and had nothing but
green, green grass in front of him.

“T told Carlin (the other return
man) that the hole was closing up
on the side we were running to, so
I was going to try the left side,’””
said Mitchell. ‘‘I gave a fake to
that side and cut back the other
way and found some running
toom.””

Mitchell’s 80-yard return cut
the deficit to three and electrified
the Albany sideline, and when
Rich Kozak recovered a-Conyers
fumble at the New Haven 44, the

Danes were in a position to regain
the lead.

Albany had. to settle for a
27-yard field goal attempt by
Tony Chechile, though, which
was straight, hung excruciatingly
long in the air before falling a
foot under the crossbar.

After trading touchdowns,
Albany’s coming on a 19-yard
reyerse-option pass from Carlin
to tight end Charlie Guddemi,
Horton’s passing took over with
an 18-yard strike to junior Tony
LoPresti. New Haven never look-
ed back.

“They hurt us with the run;
they killed us with the pass,”’ said
Ford.

“From an offensive stand-
point, we’re pretty small up front,
but this was the first team we mat-
ched up with physically,” said
Palmer. “I knew we were in for a
dog fight. I knew they weren’t go-
ing to roll over and play dead.’’

A 42-yard interception return
by defensive back Walter Oko at
the start of the fourth quarter
rounded out the scoring.

“We gave it all we had, but I
don’t think we had them in-
timidated,”’ said Mitchell.

Horton had only seven pass at-
tempts in the first half, but finish-
ed with 21, completing 13 for 256
yards.

“‘He’s a real fine quarterback,
but he’s a young quarterback,”’
said Palmer. ‘I was concerned
about his confidence coming into
this game after the 47-7 loss to
Towson State last week.’

Ryder was seven of 18 with two
interceptions for 116 yards and
rushed 111 more on 22 carries.

Mitchell was used sparingly,
gaining only 21 yards on eight
carries, but capped his best season
as a Dane by becoming the eighth
best all-time ground-gainer in
Albany State history with 1342
yards. His 7.22 yards 1 attempt is
an Albany State record. He is also
seventh in all-time scoring with 80
points.

Defensively, the Danes were led
by senior Frank Sarcone with 3
solo tackles and 10 assists, to
finish his season with 41 solo
tackles, 4 assists and a fumble
recovery.

the season 4-5, only the third los-

Dane women harriers end season with 9-4 mark

By Brian Voronkov
‘STAFF WRITER

Despite only a seventh place showing in
the NCAA regionals held in Fredonia on
Saturday, the Albany State women’s cross
county team wound down a successful
season.

The championship was clinched! by
Ithaca followed by Cortland. Those two
complete teams will go to the NCAA finals
next Saturday.

Of the thirty teams eligible to run, only
14 elected to compete. And of those 14 on-
ly eight carried complete teams, with the
Danes being one of the eight.

Albany head coach Ron White feels that
only eight teams came. because of the slim
chances of winning a title or progressing
on to the finals.

“‘We have a young team,” said White.

Coaches in

(AP) Lou Carnesecca calls the three-point
goal a Mickey Mouse shot.

Denny Crum calls it a step backward.

Stu Starner says it can’t hurt to try it.

A shot through the net from 19 feet, 9
inches means three points in college
basketball this season, one of the most
drastic changes in the game since James
Naismith invented it in 1891.

“It could put the smaller man back in
the game, and that’s good,”’ said Dr. Ed-
ward S. Steitz, secretary-editor of the
NCAA basketball rules committee and
athletic director at Springfield College.

Steitz added that it also is aimed at
reducing rough play under the basket and
opening up the zone defenses that have
held down scoring over the past several
years.

“Teams are going to have to play more
defense away from the basket,’’ he said.

Not everyone is thrilled with the change,

“T wanted them to experience a regional
like this and they gave a gallant effort.”

Ithaca won this championship meet very
strongly. They put their first five-runners
in the top nine spots giving them a score of
twenty-seven. Coach White feels they have
a good shot at winning the national
championship.

The other qualifier for the nationals,
SUNY Cortland upset the other favorite,
the University at Rochester by one point.
Cortland scored a score of sixty-six and
Rochester scored sixty-seven,

SUNY Plattsburgh came in fourth with
a score of 102 and SUNY Fredonia follow-
ed closely with 112. SUNY Geneseo,
SUNYAC Champions, came in sixth
place. Finishing seventh were the Danes
with a score of 193 followed by Alfred
University with a score of 212.

Pacing the Danes was junior Rachel
Braslow with a time of 22:34, placing her
thirty-third overall. This was disappoin-
ting for Braslow because as she was about
to make her move she lost her shoe and
was forced to finish the last mile that way.
Braslow was a hopeful to go to the na-
tionals as an individual.

Freshman Kerry Charron was second
for the Danes coming in fortieth overall
with a time of 23:01. The other Dane
hopeful for placing in the nationals was
junior Patti Williams. Williams had a time
of 23:34 place her fiftieth overall and third
for Albany.

“Patti just didn’t have one of her better
meets of the season,” said coach White.

Senior Chris Varley with a time of 23:39
finished 5ist and sophomore Kathy Belan-

toni followed right behind her coming in
52 with her time of 24:02. The displacer
for the Danes was sophomore Mary Lou
Webster.Sophomore Barbara Ascher and
senior Laurel Sutcliff both suffered from
foot injuries during the week and couldn’t
run.

The Danes’ overall record for dual and
triangular meets was 9-4. And the Danes
did very well in their invitationals also
placing in the top three every time.

The greatest highlight of the season was
their winning of the Capital District cham-
pionship for the fifth year in a row.

“T am very proud of all fifteen runners
who stuck it out until the end,” said
White. ‘“‘We were a very young team and I
feel that the team is now experienced and
we will be coming back to build for the
future.” jan

disagreement over three-pointer

including Carnesecca, coach at St. John’s,
and Crum, coach of NCAA champion
Louisville.

However, Starner, coach at Montana
State, urged his peers to be open-minded:
“Try it. You might like it.’”” The Bobcats
belong to the Big Sky Conference — one
of 15 conferences that experimented with
the three-pointer from varying distances
during thé past five years.

“*We’ve probably gotten more questions
about this than any other change we’ve
made excepting the shot clock,”’ Steitz
said. ‘‘There’s still a lot of comment about
whether we’ve chosen the right distance
and we may have to make some
adjustments.’’

“Of 744 college coaches surveyed by
Steitz at the end of last season, 64 percent
said no to the three-pointer.

Crum said he was surprised the commit-
tee adopted the rule despite the coaches’

opposition.

“It’s aimed at cleaning up the play on
the inside, but I think it’s going to benefit
the big man because teams are no longer
going to be able to afford to double- and
triple-team him underneath,”’ Crum said.
“*T just don’t see the need for it. Why mess
with a game that’s at its peak?”’

They may not like it, but coaches
haven’t wasted any time figuring out how
to deal with it.

“We spent three hours in practice just
working on defenses against the three-
point shot in the closing minutes of the
game,’’ Villanova’s Rollie Massimino said.

Starner’s team connected on 47.1 per-
cent of its three-pointers last season:
overall field goal shooting nationwide last
season was 47.7 percent.

“It was an integral part of our offense,”
he said. ‘‘The game is not going to change
as much as many skeptics fear. You still

need to establish your inside play in order
to use your perimeter shooters effectively
and the good teams will have that offen-
sive balance.

“Tt’s a momentum play, like a dunk that
gets the emotions up,”’ he said. ‘‘Unques-
tionably, it extends the defenses 4 to 6 feet
from the basket, and in rebounding it gives
a litle more value to quickness. But the
good teams are going to make those
adjustments.

“The one thing it could lead to is crea-
tion of a three-point specialist, who could
come into the game when you are down
and get things going.” 2

Starner said the average accuracy of the
three-pointer was about 39 percent, based
on the trial runs in different conferences.
To score the same number of points with
two-point shots, a team would have to
shoot 57 percent from the field. Michigan

Hoff qualifies for

Div. lll nationals

By Steven Silberglied
‘STAFF WRITER

Tim Hoff, qualifying for the Division III Nationals
next week, highlighted Albany State’s sixth place show-
ing at the eastern regional meet Saturday at Fredonia.

Six inches of snow on the ground made the course
slippery, and as a result times were generally about two
and a half to three minutes slower than a runner’s norm.

Rochester Institute of Technology won the meet with
46 points, and was followed by St. Lawrence’s 79 and
Cortland’s 80. These three teams will be sent to the na-
tionals. In addition to these three teams, four in-
dividuals runners, of which Hoff was second are
qualifiers. Tom Touri, Rochester’s All-American
senior, won the race individually with a time of 27:47.

Two weeks ago, Albany figured to be one of about
five teams in the running of challenging for the third
team spot for the nationals.

However, various injuries and sicknesses hurt the
team severely. Pat Paul, the team’s number five runner,
was forced to stay home as he was hurt all week. Addi-
tionally, senior co-captain Jack Glaser and Junior Tom
Schoenig had been sick all week. Senior Craig Parlato,
the team’s number two runner and definitely one of the
region’s top runners when healthy, was barely able to
walk a day before the race. To say the least, the Danes
were a hurting team.

However, they had a great effort and ran to the best
of their abilities.

Finishing behind Hoff was Parlato, who was 30th
timed at 28:34. Parlato didn’t have the leg speed to go
out hard because of the injury, but was carried by deter-
mination alone. Though he started off slowly, he picked
up places to finish a respectable 30th.

This was the end of an illustrious career for Parlato.
He is the only Dane to have qualified for the nationals in
three cross-country seasons, two as the team qualified,
one individually. This year he had to battle various in-
juries, but still lowered his personal best time to 26:37.
This occurred at the SUNYAC meet this year where he
placed ninth to put him in the SUNY Hall of Fame. He
also holds a share of the school’s indoor 5000-meter
record.

Teammate Trevor Hash remarked of Parlato, “For
him to run so well today under the conditions shows
what a courageous competitor he is. He gave it
everything he had.” 17>

Juniata College beat the Albany volleyball team out of a Final Four spot.

Spikers fall one shy of Final Four

By Mike Brewster
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Just one win away from a Final
Four berth, the Albany State
volleyball team was beaten by host
Juniata College in one of four
regional tournaments held
throughout the country last
weekend.

Coach Pat Dwyer explained that
although the Danes were the highest
ranked team in the six team field, he

is not, disappointed with Albany’s
play against the toughest competi-
tion the team has faced all year.

“We went into it feeling we were
an underdog. They (Juniata) beat
Cortland the night before in 40
minutes, just 10 minutes a game,”’
said Dwyer.

The Danes, after receiving a first
round bye due to their seed, faced
Eastern Conneticut in the second
round. The Danes handled their op-
ponents rather easily in the first two
games in the best of five match
before being nipped in the third
game, 16-14. In the fourth game,
however, Albany rallied for a 15-9
victory to clinch the match. The
Danes now faced Juniata, who not
only had a strong volleyball tradi-
tion, but a whole gym of screaming
fans behind them.

“It was really tough because they
had all the fans,”’ said junior Heidi
Grunwald. ‘‘It was just like a home
game for them,” continued the
center outside hitter.

Grunwald added that the schedul-
ing format didn’t help the Danes
much either. ‘We got to the gym ex-
pecting to play and we had to sit
around all day. Volleyball’s a weird
sport, a game of momentum, and
that sitting around might have taken
a little out of us.””,

‘When the match finally began, it
was Albany who looked like they
had the momentum as they grabbed
the early lead.

‘We scored the first four points,”’
said junior Evette Rooks. ‘‘Then it
was neck and neck all the way, and
they just had better moments down
the stretch than we did.’”

The score of the first game was
15-13 in favor of Juniata. The se-

cond game was nearly as close, this
time Juniata coming out on top
15-12.

“The second game was the same
type as the first, really close all the
way,’? said Rooks. “The third I
think we suffered sort of a mental
lapse.”

‘Whether it was the large crowd or
the previous two close losses, the
Danes lost handily in the third and
final game, 15-6.

“They just outlasted us,’’ said
Coach Dwyer. They played a similar
game to ours, but they outlasted us
each time.”

This was the first time Albany had
played a school west of the New
York - eastern Pennsylvania area,
and Rooks thinks that definitely
worked in Juniata’s favor.

“We were ranked seventh in the
nation and they were ninth, but as
you go west, the caliber of volleyball
gets higher,’’ said the outside hitter.

Although the Dane’s season is
now over, it looks like an Albany
volleyball dynasty is just beginning.

“This was the best year ever fos
Albany volleyball,” said Rook
“And I think we’ve set a kina ot
precedent.’’

Said Grunwald, ‘“‘We’re a very
young team, and we'll definitely be
back next year.’”

Coach Dwyer felt that ending the
year on a losing note didn’t taint the
season’s accomplishments at all.

“The problem in the post-season
is that unless you win the National
Championship or take third in the
consolation is that you lose your last
match. It’s kind of unfortunate, but
this was unquestionably our best
season ever.”

Dwyer pointed out two individual
players for accomplishment. Patty
Munhall was voted by the College
Volleyball Association of America as
being one of several most valuable
players recognized.

Also mentioned by Dwyer was
Laura LaRock as the most improved
player on the team as she played
more in the championship game than
she did all year. z
