Teach for America looking for volunteers
By Nancy Gandriello
Teach for America’s SUNYA
chapter has a new director this
year, but the “Peace Corps for
Educators” has the same
Objective it has had since its
creation in 1989: to attract as
many qualified college graduates
to help shore up the nation’s
severe teaching shortages,
particularly in rural and inner-
city areas,
Current president Kristie Hall,
who is picking up where former
S.A. Educational Affairs
Director Andrea Hoffer left off,
is now the only active member
of TFA-Albany, To attract new
members, Hall has organized a
general interest meeting for
Wednesday, October 16, in BA
212 at 4:15pm.
In addition to talking about the
~~~... mission of TFA, Hall said, she
will be handing out applications
and encouraging other on-
campus groups to volunteer their
members to help the local
community.
“I don’t want to be the only
one involved,” Hall said, “But it
just so happens that most people
aren’t aware of TFA yet.”
“TFA’s goal is to develop an
interest in education, in people
who had never thought about it
before,” she said. “For people
interested in the program, no
education experience is
necessary.”
Nationally, TFA recruits
graduates from many different
degree programs, and what is
unique to TFA is, it does not
require a teaching degree to be
admitted, according to a
February 1991 Connections
magazine article,
According to Connections,
students interested in the
program apply during their
senior year. Those who are
accepted sign up for a two-year
commitment, receive eight
weeks of training, and then get a
chance to instruct in rural and
inner-city schools. Salaries for
TFA teachers range from
$17,000 to $29,000.
The TFA ‘program was
originally conceived by
Princeton graduate Wendy Kopp
in 1989 as part of her senior
thesis. She made the theory a
reality when she convinced
corporations and school districts
in five states the idea was viable,
Connections stated. School
boards cover the teachers’
salaries; the corporate sponsors’
provide the $2.6 million needed
to run the program, including
money spent on recruiting trips
to 100 colleges.
In Fall 1990, the first 500 TFA
teachers were placed in schools
in New York, rural North
Carolina, rural Georgia,
Louisiana and California. TFA
currently has a staff of 35 in
offices across the country.
“College students are looking
for jobs in which they can make
areal difference,” Kopp said.
“They want a position that
allows them to take on
responsibility and have an
impact. Teaching allows them to
make their idealism r
Some criticism has been
directed at TFA for bringing in
teachers who may “flee the
field” as quickly as they arrive,
Connections said. Kopp
disagreed, saying former TFA
teachers will develop a
commitment to education they
can take with them into law,
medicine, business and other
careers should they decide to
leave teaching.
According to a TFA pamphlet,
school districts have “a
particular need for elementary
school teachers, bilingual
teachers and high school
teachers with expertise in
science, math and foreign
languages.
“I chose to participate in
Teach for America to go into an
inner-city area and teach
students of color as a teacher of
color and to be a role model for
students of color,” said Darryl
Brown, a graduate of SUNY
Binghamton. “I would like to go
back to Brooklyn and bring my
Teach for America experience
back to my roots,” said the
pamphlet.
“T think teaching is a way I
can bring together my love of
writing, acting, dance and
history in the classroom,” said
Pamela Weymouth from
Princeton University.
Among the TFA recruits are
four SUNYA graduates: Nancy
Diaz (New York City), Tricia
Trong (Los Angeles), Vincent
Polito and Ian Kaltman
(Louisiana).
“It’s challenging and-highly.
rewarding, especially when
everything works,” said Polito, a
graduate of the Rockefeller
College with a bachelor’s degree
in political science. “I wouldn’t
give this job up for anything
right now.” Polito currently
teaches a fourth grade reading
class in rural Louisiana.
Tentative new locations for

Swygert calls for the regionalization of SUNY
By Tom Murnane
NEWS EDITOR
University President H.
Patrick Swygert in recent weeks
has been calling for the
“regionalization” of The State
University System, and now the
idea has been adopted by the
SUNY Chancellor Bruce D.
Johnstone.
Under the “Regional
Cooperation Initiative” proposal,
the SUNY system, which
encompasses 64 campuses across
the state, would be divideti into ;
four distinct regions. Each of the
four university centers-Albany,
Buffalo, Binghamton and Stony
Brook would be the regional
centers under the new plan.
Albany has been picked to
represent Region Three.
According to a 1992-1993
“Budget Initiatives” report
released by Johnstone’s office,
the Chancellor acknowledged
“SUNY is too large and
geographically diverse to
manage every efficiency
initiative as a system-wide
effort,” he said. “The four
regions of SUNY offer special
opportunities for improving the
effectiveness and the efficiency
of the System...Each region
includes a large number of
(SUNY) institutions and nearly
every category of campus, from
Community Colleges to
University Centers. Cooperation
of campuses in each of these
four regions would allow them to
_ cut costs by sharing services, and
improve performance by
coordinating their programs and
activities,” the report stated.
The RCI plan also calls for
$250,000 to be provided for each
of the four SUNY regions to
help them achieve such goals as
“cutting administrative costs
through automation and shared
services,expamding faculty and
staff development by utilizing
more cooperatively the talents
and expertise on all the
campuses in each region, and
enhancing student access
Regionalization of the SUNY system
through regional articulation of
academic programs and the use
of technology for distance
learning.”
Swygert offered specific
examples of how Albany could
help in the regionalization plan.
He suggested the proposed $51
million dollar research library
that is being planned for
construction behind the Campus
University Admissions Guide
Center, would be one such way
to participate.
“We think it (the new library)
Provides us an opportunity to
discuss with SUNY Central how
to best utilize the resources that
are available...we are trying to

proposals for the Chancellor to

Asylum sought
Bonn, Germany
(AP) Seeking to check violence against
foreigners while halting a, flood of
immigration, German leaders announced
Thursday they would place tens of
thousands of new refugees in camps.
The agreement by Chancellor Helmut
Kohl's governing coalition and the main
opposition Social Democrats would be the
first step in tightening Germany's asylum
process.
The current rules were drawn up after
World War II in atonement for the Nazis’
mistreatment of foreigners.
With scores of thousands of refugees
entering a country struggling to provide
jobs for its own new residents from
eastern Germany, more than 500 attacks
against foreigners have been reported
since January.
A record 169,785 refugees applied for
asylum from January through the end of
September. Many of the foreigners are
from Eastern Europe, but there are also
large numbers of Turks, Africans and
Vietnamese.
Tall ships sail seas
Huelva, Spain
(AP) For the second time in history,
Spain on Sunday sent the Nina, the Pinta
and the Santa Maria westward from the
mouth of the Rio Tinto. This time,
however, the seafarers knew where they
where headed.
The replicas are the flagships literally
and figuratively for Spain's 500th
anniversary commemoration of
Columbus's journey, which changed both
Europe and America forever. The Italian
navigator was looking for a new route to
the Far East.
They are to lead a procession of tall
ships into New York harbor as part of next
year's Fourth of July celebration.
The departure was carried live on
national television. Felipe, heir to the
Spanish throne, watched from a dockside

Shipleys sentenced
Crown Point, Ind.
(AP) A surgeon and his wife, a former
pediatrics nurse, each received 65-year
prison terms Friday for the murder and
neglect of his 5-year-old daughter.
Dr. Gary D. Shipley and Gloria Anne
Shipley, both 35, were convicted Aug. 21
PREVIEW OF EVENTS
of the November 1990 death of Amy, his
5-year-old daughter by a previous
marriage.
Autopsy reports showed the child was
malnourished and dehydrated when she
choked and died after vomiting a mild
formula laced with black pepper.
"I didn't see any remorse over her death
from either of you. I see remorse for the
situation you're in," Lake Superior Court
Judge James Letsinger told the Shipleys,
"I know in my heart that I didn't kill
Amy and I didn't do anything I believed
caused harm to her, " Mrs. Shipley said in
a shaky voice before her sentencing.
The judge sentenced the couple to
consecutive sentences of 50 years for
murder and 15 for neglect. Prosecutors
had asked for the maximum penalties on
both charges, which would have totaled
80 years.
The Shipleys took the witness stand
during their 13-day trial and denied
intending to harm Amy. Both said they
did not withold food or fluids from the
child, although they conceded autopsy
photographs indicated malnutrition and
dehydration.
They claimed Amy choked to death on
a piece of toast.
Redd Foxx dies
Los Angeles
(AP) Comedian Redd Foxx, who played
a crabby junkman on the 1970s TV series
"Sanford and Son," died Friday after
suffering a heart attack on the set of his
new show, a network official said.
Foxx died Friday evening at Queen of
Angels Hollywood Presbyterian Medical
‘Some scratches are worth a picture.
Center, said Jeff Sagansky, president of
CBS Entertainment.
Foxx was rehearsing a scene for the
CBS series "The Royal Family" at a
Paramount Studios sound stage when he
collapsed.
He is best known for his role as a
cantankerous Watts junk peddler on
"Sanford and Son." The show lasted from
1972-77. Desmond Wilson played his
long-suffering son, Lamont.
Foxx starred in an ABC variety show
from 1977-78, but reprised his role as
Fred Sanford on a show that lasted from
1980-81. He had another comedy in
1986, but none of his shows ever achieved
the popularity of "Sanford and Son."

Nut of block slays 4
Great Neck
(AP) A man described as “the nut of the
block" shot out a camera-equipped robot
sent to find him inside the darkened house
where he holed up yesterday after killing
his father and three neighbors, police said.
Andrew Brooks Jr., 45, crippled the
robot, though the device captured the
shooting on videotape, police said.
The rampage began about 2 a.m.
Sunday when Brooks, wielding a shotgun,
killed two visitors at the home he shared
with his parents in the Queens
neighborhood of Little Neck and critically
wounded a third man, police said.
Later, authorities found two more
slaying victims, Brooks' 75-year-old
father and Brian Ducker, 30 in a shed
behind the Little Neck house, and police
said they may have been killed days
earlier. Police searched for Brooks’
mother Marion.
After the slayings, Brooks fled to a
house about two miles away on Long
Island and took Dr. Paul Gregory, 71, and
his wife, Eva, 61, hostage, authorities
said.
Police said Brooks had no record of
arrests or history of being treated for
mental problems, but neighbors said he
had undergone psychiatric treatment as a
youth,
“He was the nut of the block, a loner,”
said Emmanuel C. Mesard, who has lived
near the Brook family for 27 years in the
tidy neighborhood of $450,000 homes.
The body of Daniel Gantovnik, 23, was
found in the living room of the Brooks
home. Police found the body of Michael
Zarabi, 27, in the kitchen.

New Greek yearbook to hit SUNYA in March
By Karen Chow
STAFF WRITER
For the first time ever, the
Greek yearbook will come to
SUNY Albany in March. The
yearbook will be composed of
all four Greek councils at
Albany: SUNY Panhellenic,
Panhellenic Council, Latino
Greek Council (LGC), and the
Interfraternity Council (IFC).
“This is our greatest
achievement to date,” said Marc
deVoe of Alpha Tau Omega and
co-assistant IFC editor. “All four
groups have come together to
produce a Greek Yearbook that
truly will represent all Greeks on
the SUNYA campus and reflect
our diversity.”
Representatives form all of
the sororities and fraternities are
working hard to make the
yearbook a success. “We’re all
different, but the yearbook
unifies us,” said Seth Leitman of
Alpha Epsilon Pi and co-
assistant IFC editor. “We’ve all
learned a lot from one another
working so closely for all these
months.”

“It was difficult getting started
because people weren’t taking
the idea very seriously, but
tremendous progress had been
made since last semester,” said
Kim Richter of Phi Sigma
Sigma and Editor-In-Chief of
the yearbook. “The Student
Association (SA) under the
direction of Bill Weitz and Dr.
Mitchel Livingston (Vice-
President of Student Affairs)
have shown much support and
enthusiasm,” she added.
“Twenty-five percent of this
campus is Greek and we’re
working towards unifying our
separate groups,” said Aziza
Fishman of Omega Phi Beta and
copy editor.
“Lack of communication has
resulted in many myths and
misconceptions among the
groups, and even within
groups,” added Erin Sullivan of
Delta Zeta and assistant Panhel
editor. “We’re hoping that the
yearbook will dispel such
beliefs.”
“This idea of a Greek
yearbook has been long
overdue,” said Wes Guzman of
Phi Iota Alpha and assistant
LGC editor. “Greeks contribute
so much to student life and we
seldom receive the recognition
we deserve.”
The yearbook, fittingly titled
“The Oracle” from Greek
mythology of the visionary,
wisemen of ancient Greece, will
be more than just a picture book.
There will be three sections:
the first part will consist of the

In addition, Five Quad received a letter off

“We were happily surprised to be nominated,
and then be finalists...but ecstatic to win the|
award,” said Five Quad President Larry Covitt,
adding “There seem to be so many deserving|
voluntary organizations...we are so honored to
have been chosen.”
Five Quad, one of the seven recipients out of
160 nominees, is now eligible to receive a $10,000
federal grant. The organization plans to invest all
the money into their agency account. They also}
hope to purchase a new ambulance to improve
their service to the community, Covitt said.

“The Oracle” encompasses the
principles upon which this
university stands — the
principles of a just community.
“Nothing like this has even
been done,” said Diego Mufioz
of Psi Upsilon and layout editor.
“We're putting so much into our
baby.”
“We take great pride in being
the founding executive board for
the Greek yearbook,” deVoe
said. “This is our brainchild.”
“Ten years from now we want
to be able to come back to
Albany and see “The Oracle”
going strong,” Sullivan said.
“The first year will be the
biggest obstacle to overcome
since no one has actually seen
what it will look like,” Richter
said. “We want to establish a
tradition after the first year.”
The yearbook will be a 225+
page hardcover and is priced at
$18. Selling ads to companies
and organizations within the
community will fund the
majority of the expenses.
“All University personnel
who were members of Greek
sororities are being invited to be
pictured in “The Oracle” as
well,” said Debbie Brill of

of the yearbook.

“Albany is well represented within SASU. Of the four executive;
board members, three are held by Albany graduate students. Two of|
the four caucuses are held by the Albany students. Kazim represents|
University centers,” Weitz said.
There are only eight or twelve SUNY schools that are SASU
members, Weitz explained.
“There’s not enough representation in SASU,” Weitz said.
Shannon Sullivan, an organizing director from SASU said,
“Representation does not depend solidly upon school population. |
Representation consists of the more active and vocal campuses.”
“We (SASU) are in many ways like a labor union. Dues are paid
by the students, who then elect officers and board directors to act as}
advocates on behalf of the student body,” Sullivan said.
“On a day-to-day basis, SASU assists other student groups in|
improving protest strategies and the overall structure of the student}
lorganization.”
The conference will run as many as 50 workshops, covering many
governmental and political aspects of college life. The workshops|
Iwill include discussions ranging from running a student government]

PanHellenic
Council
recognized by
University
By Tanya Sharrock
Pan Hellenic Council, the
governing body of SUNYA’s
black fraternities and sororities
received University recognition
October 8 after having its
privileges suspended since last
spring.
The suspension prevented the
member organizations from
holding official functions on
campus. PHC was suspended
after the University
administration determined PHC
had failed to prove it had
effective executive and judicial
branches.
Member organizations
worked closely with
PanHellenic advisor Skip
Hutson, and with the
administration’s requirements.
In the past, PHC did not
regulate member groups
because it was uniquely
structured and had a “l’aissez
faire” form of management.
This style of management is
what came into conflict with the
administration’s standards.

Aspects on Tuesday
October 15, 1991
Broadway on Second Avenue
In the intimacy of the Albany Civic
theater, the trilogy that started in 1983
with Brighton Beach Memoirs,
concludes with Broadway Bound, Neil
Simon's followup to the Tony Award
winning Biloxi Blues. The play deals
with the themes of marriage, poverty,
aging, growing up, and being Jewish
in Brighton Beach.
Jonathon Ostroff
grandfather, takes on the role of the
conscience of the family and by the
end of the play even demonstrates a
sense of humor thought to be devoid
in most grandparents. His portrayal of
Ben is enhanced by the New York
accent he brings to the character.
As with the two previous plays,
Simon throws in his usual
complement of Jewish humor. He
pokes fun at his roots in a comical
way and expresses the unity of their
community through a skit written by
both brothers, Eugene and Stanely.
The skit, written for radio, focuses on
the humor found in the average
household in Brighton Beach. All their
neighbors think it’s about them, and
even their father, Jack, accuses his
sons of making fun of their family.
Writing is the focus of Eugene and
Stanely, who aspire to make it big in
network television.
As Eugene and Stanely learn durin;
Simon focuses on the same family
he did in Brighton Beach Memoirs,
except for the addition of Ben, the
grandfather of Eugene Jerome. Ben’s
wife is still alive, and for vague
reasons they don’t live together
anymore. Although his presence in
the play isn’t accounted for, his role is
very clear.
Ben, played by Jack Ryan, gives the
most compelling and entertaining
performance as the cynical, socialist
grandfather. He has principles for not
leaving New York, for what comedy
should be and how government
should run itself. His socialist views
come out throughout the play, starting
with the critique of the rich life style
led by his daughter Blanche. More
than once, he showers his family with
his notions of a just society. His
character is also dynamic for its many
levels. He starts out as the grumpy old
the play, a good story starts with
conflict. This play is filled with
conflict, focusing on the middle aged
parents Jack and Kate, who present
the most dramatic conflict as their
marriage falls apart. Tension is also
present between the brothers , and
between Ben and Blanche. All this
friction makes for a first-rate mixture
of drama and comedy (which doesn’t
change set once in the entire
production).
The stage is split into two levels,
giving a full view of the living room
and upstairs bedrooms on one stage.
The farthest seat was around 25 feet
from the edge of the stage. I was
around 4 feet from the stage myself,
allowing me to be close enough to
watch drips of sweat roll down the
face of Eugene.
The obvious intimacy of the play
gives you a close-up look at the lives
of this changing family that finds it
hard to keep together in the difficult
age after World War II.
The cast is comprised of local
Albany residents who, for the most
part, make their living doing anything
but acting. The couple that play
Eugene’s parents are also married in
real life as well. Everyone deserves
credit for this off, off, off Broadway
production of Neil Simon’s Broadway
Bound.
Hair: Follies and Follieles of an Ex-Pynk Roeker
His Mom used to take him to get his
hair cut. At a certain point in high
school, he decided to be as
independent as a high school kid
could be and take his appearance into
his own hands. He couldn’t find the
courage to go to the barber shop
himself. After all, his Mom used to
make all the hair decisions for him.
He never got a haircut for four years.
Noah H. Wildman
When he got to Albany his freshman
year, he had long and flowing large
dark brown curls all the way down to
the bottom of his shoulder blades. He
remembered walking along the
podium and being approached at least
five times. The brother in the
Champion sweatshirt asked, “Yo, my
little hippie friend, know where I can
score some wacky tobaccy?” Since he
never considered himself a hippie (or
smoked tobaccy, wacky or otherwise)
she did what any self-respecting
freshman would do. He shaved his
hair into a three foot mohawk.
What's happening here? This is just
one of the important trials and
tribulations that a freshman must go
through that isn’t mentioned in the
student handbook. The jump from
being a high school senior to college
plebe is a drastic step down in self-
image and esteem. I believe it is
because of this descent to plebedom
that more freshmen and women have
stupid hair than upperclass people. I
took one path to help soothe my
damaged ego. I am the person in the
paragraphs above. I chose to look like
@ mongolian cluster-fuck from Hell. I
confess. Hopefully now I can argue
my side for the fashion crimes I have
committed.
When people asked me why I chose
to carve my head, I gave two reasons.
One was the ‘hippie-effect’ mentioned
above. The other is what I call the
’16,000-people-wearing-Champion-
sweatshirts-and-saying-”Ohmigawd”-
effect’. Its incredible how similar
thoudsands of people can be when
you don’t know anybody.
Those are the reasons I gave. Here
are the real reasons. When J hung out
in the campus center with my rather
large mohawk and I saw someone
with, say, a head of bright pink spiked
and a forehead tattoo, I probably felt
more comfortable introducing myself
to him/her rather than a more
straight kind of person. I admit this is
kind of shallow, but at least I didn’t
have to wear a sweatshirt with letters
of unreadable script, shout ‘Hello
Brother Dingaling! Please humiliate
me!’ and pay a lot of money for my
friends. For a kid with a limited
budget, I think I made plenty of
friends my first year (only I took the
‘Buckarama’ approach).
It was a rush. All eyes were on me. I
felt confident that no matter where I
would go, I was not the number that
all high school teachers assure you
you'll be when you get to college. It
was fun being freaky-deaky for such a
stupid thing.
It had its drawbacks. Some people
would try to be my friend because of
my hair. I call this the ‘T-like-to-think-
I’'m-open-minded-but-really-I’m-a-
. I'm still not quite sure
why this happened. Some people
would come right up to me and and
start talking about my hair. They
would swell my ego with comments
on my ultra coolness, then run around
and tell all their friends that they
know a real punk rocker (what ever
that is). Of course, some people were
just curious and simply being friendly,
but when a person has oustandingly
stupid hair, it goes to his head. Sorry,
dumb pun. Late at night, drunk
people might shout ‘freak!’ or ‘lettuce
head!’ at me. On the SUNY bus late at
night, these people tend to wear those
silly Champion sweatshirts with the
scraggly letters. When I came home, I
saw my father cry for the first time. I
shaved my head, and then my Mom
called me a cue ball. Sigh.
There are many different kinds of
stupid hair. This is in no way a
complete list.
The Mohawk: A classic from the
seventies, comes in any shade of the
spectrum
The Skinhead: A shaved or stubbly
head does not necessarily make the
brave soul who wears this haircut a
Nazi, no matter what the newspapers
say.
The Gothic: Popularized by the Cure,
this hair spray and dye creation is
slowly entering the mainstream. Not
for the happy crowd.
The Really White Rasta: Anybody
who went to see Lollapalooza knows
the immense popularity of blonde
California types with dred locks.
Every style is different for whoever
wears it. (Last year I had a short
sharkfin hawk dyed yellow, popularly
known as fio ang though I
thought it looked more like a banana
on my head.) They are not mutually
exclusive either. (At one point, I had a
complete shaved head with big Elvis
chops about an inch thick.)
My freshman year I met a lot of
people, especially those of the ‘punk-
rock’ vein. Some were poseurs like
me, who really only had an interest in
the glory and fame (infamy?) of
stupid hair. Some still keep their hair
stupid, and I’m happy for them
because what they do is more than
attention grabbing - its being true to
themselves. Some have tattooed
themselves out of existence. And then
there are those who were truly fucked,
the real hardcore punkers who are
now either in jail or elsewhere. I don’t
keep in touch with them.
My hair days are over. It was fun,
but I have bigger and better things to
worry about now, like grad school.
Like my Mom always said, “It’s more
important what you have inside your
head than what's on it, cue ball.” Sigh.
I don’t regret my hair blunders, it
helped to get me through. I was
young then, but like my Mom said, “
Your too old to act like a 13 year old
preening in the mirror.” Like my Mom
said to me on this Parent’s weekend,
“Just look normal when you come
home for Thanksgiving, ok?”
I wonder how dred locks would suit
my complexion.

14 Godot Worth the Wait?
In the words of Vladimir, one of the
two main characters in Waiting for
Godot, “Nothing happens. Nobody
comes, nobody goes.”
Adam Meyer
That is a fairly concise summary of
Samuel Beckett's existential drama,
currently being staged at the Arena
Theater in the Performing Arts Center.
There is little external action and one
simple setting. Yet despite Godot’s
outward simplicity, it is a work of
depth and complexity, characteristics
which this performance never fully
captures.
The primary players are Vladimir
(Matt Tratner) and Estragon (Francis
Creighton), also known as Didi and
Gogo. When the play opens Gogo,
who is whiny and moody, is
struggling to yank off his tight boot.
Meanwhile Didi walks around
ruminating on the meaning of their
being in this place. Unable to
temember their past and incapable of
seeing their future, their present is full
of uncertainty and confusion.

After Mick Jones was no longer
associated with The Clash, he moved
on to headline a band known as Big
Audio Dynamite. Now, Mick Jones has
abandoned all the old members of
B.A.D., and has formed a whole new
band called B.A.D. II. The new band
consists of Gary Stonadge on Bass,
Nick Hawkins on guitar, former Sigue
Sigue Sputnik-er, Chris Kavanagh on
drums, and Jones on lead vocals.
While the original BAD had a
distinctive reggae sound to some of its
songs, BAD II has more of a hip-hop
UK dance sound —like on “Rush,”
“Green Grass” and the song, “The
Globe," which got some help from
Gobblebox and Sipho the human beat
box. But not all of the tracks are dance
tunes; “When the Time Comes” is a
pleasant song that starts out with an
almost pure acoustic sound, then eases
into a weird melodramatic electronic
Loeal
Recently I attended one of the
Subculture Sundays Concert Series at
QE2. I was late, as usual, but I decided
to keep my pace at a slow sprint down
Central. There already was a crowd
outside QE2 and I wondered if
everyone was waiting tojget inside or
if they just couldn’t fit in the club. As 1
approached the’ entrance, I was
relieved to discover that the doors
hadn't opened yet so I didn’t miss a
thing.
Louisa Petsitis
The first band up was The Figgs,
which consisted of a guitarist, a
bassist and a drummer. Their punk-
bordering-on-metal sound and their
gritty lyrics quickly won me over.
Then comes Pozzo (Christopher LJ.
Dippel), leading his slave Lucky (Erik.
A. Krisch) on a rope like an animal.
Later in the scene Pozzo orders Lucky
to “think” in order to entertain Didi
and Gogo. Lucky proceeds to babble
wildly for several minutes, his speech
filled with impressively complex
words and glimmers of ideas. Finally
the others
tackle him to
put an end to
his thinking.
The second
act takes
place the
following
day. Didi and
George
struggle to
remember
what
happened to
them. When

Lucky return,

master is

song that almost sounds like Kraftwerk
ona really depressed day.
However, what makes most of these
songs so good is the ever-so-familiar
sound of Mick Jones’ voice. On the
upbeat songs, his voice exemplifies a
sound of excitement that helps you get
into the toe-tappin’. mood. Plus,
Kanavaugh’s up-tempo drum beat
keeps the dance songs moving with
enough changes in rhythm to keep the
beat both interesting yet consistent.
You can not deny that all the songs are
pleasant sounding, some of the fast
tunes you can really get down and
boogie to. One of the nicest things
about this album is the way it is
shaped; the beginning has an upbeat,
dancable feel to it, while the end tapers
down to a subdued melancholy feel,
tying things all together by reprising
the main motif of the first song. BAD
I's first release is sure to offer almost
any alternative music lover.
--Mark E. Phillips
Among the songs played that night
were “Happy,” “I Can't Get My Way,”
“Christy’s Boots” and “Breaks Me
Apart.” I was quite amused by the
little number titled”Chomper Mother
Fucker.” The bass was funky, the
drums were crazy, but more ear-
catching were the lyrics: “How would
you like a big dick baby...and if you
want it you can have it. Suck on my:
chomper baby!”
I was disappointed to see most of the
audience just’ standing and watching
the show. Maybe I was expecting a
little more body heat, but most people
were crowded in the back with the
“exception of a few die hards who were
trying to.get-a pit:going up‘ front.One
of the guitarist commented on the
sedate crowd: “It’s good.to see they
passed out quaaludes at the door!”
earlier in the play, Didi and Gogo
contemplate the merits of hanging
themselves (“It would give us an
erection.”). The second act ends as the
first did, with them deciding to leave,
only they up going nowhere.
Creighton as Estragon is sufficiently
energetic and when he has to be,
restrained and thoughtful. But it is
‘Trainer as
Vladimir who
must carry
the play, and
he is not up to
the task. His
monologues
are delivered
in highly-
exaggerated
fashion. At
times both he
and Creighton
seem like
clowns,
waving their
arms and
leaping across
the stage.
T h 3
supporting
actors are more impressive. Dippel,
who plays Pozzo, is wonderfully
expressive. His rich voice carries a
variety of emotions. His
transformation from the first act to the
second, in which he goes from being a
dominant man to a broken one, shows
great range. Although Lucky’s part is
a small one, Krisch plays it for all it’s
worth.
The costumes, designed by Janet
Sussman, are appropriate to the
characters, be it the ragged clothes of
Vladimir or the stylish attire of Pozzo.
However, Godot does not sound as
good as it looks. Throughout the play
there are strange noises to punctuate
the action, and while some are
appropriate, others are merely
distracting.
Although Waiting for Godot was
enjoyable overall, I remember the play
being a lot funnier when I read it.
Somehow the production is never able
to fully cultivate the humor inherent
in Beckett's words. Instead there are
moments of clownishness when the
material is serious, while no laughs
are elicited for much of the subtle
humor.

|The House of Love
A Spy in the House of Love
The House of Love broke into the
alternative scene some four years ago
with an extraordinary album that
introduced a dazzling mix of
distorted guitar lines and beautiful
melodies. Soon they became the
darlings of the alternative British
media while their reputation was
further established with a second
album which was equally good, if not
leven better, and which opened the
doors to a wider audience.
Their third effort, A Spy in the
IHouse of Love, is not an official
album but rather a collection of early,
lost” singles and b-sides. The results
jare once more mostly great. From the
powerful brilliance of “Marble” (the
only new song) and “D-Song ’89” to
the melodic buzz of “Safe,”
isinger/songwriter Guy Chadwick
exemplifies a unique talent for
writing little pop masterpieces that
seem so effortless. Also included in|
this album is the song that made them|
overnight sensations for about fifteen
minutes, “Shine On,” and a number|
of old b-sides, some of which are
easily forgettable, especially when|
compared to the tracks noted above,
Chadwick’s lyrics are worth noticing,
as well, ranging from bitter cynicism
to downright absurd, but always
tather compelling.
In sum, don’t ignore this album. If|
you're a longtime fan like me, I’m
sure you already bought it. If not, this
is a great opportunity to make a first
acquaintance. The House of Love is a
band that deserves both your time
and money.
--Vangelis Savva
Next was Glee Club, who opened
with something that sounded similar
to Gregorian chants. Then they’ fell
into a dizzying instrumental which
broke the spell the audience was
under. In general, the group was more
instrumental than it was lyrical,
although I couldn’t really hear the
singing because of all the feedback
from the speakers. The crowd didn’t
seem to care though; they just moshed
harder. Obviously, they had taken to
the band more than I did, although I
will-admit that whatever they lacked
in lyrics they:made up ‘for in musical
diversity.
Ending the évening was a band
cailed Repugita; which consisted of a
drummer, a’ bassist, a’ guitarist and a
vocalist: Now this was the band:to*
watch! I would classify their music as
Oa Wee ae
industrial, although Buzz magazine’s
description is much more colorful.
They call it “Lead and Mercury.” By
now the audience was in a tizzy and I
joined the slammer on the dance floor.
The lead vocalist had a sound
Teminiscent of the lead singer of the
Red Hot Chili Peppers or Faith No
More. They interacted freely with the
audience, saying things like “We're
touring with Menudo:..like never”
and “You have to dance...don’t forget
to dance.”
I haven’t heard anything about
Repugna or Glee Club yet, but if you
want to'catch The Figgs, they'll be
playing with Squid and Intent,
October 20 at Bogie’s. :
BDITORIAL
Do you
wonder why?
Every student has their list of gripes, grievances,
lor just plain bewilderments about the sometimes|
confusing SUNYA system. The ASP has decided to
address these concerns, in hopes of clearing up}
some confusion. We asked over 50 students what
they just can't comprehend. Here are some of the
biggest questions, written exactly as they were|
asked:
ever
How come the elevators in the Campus Center|
Inever work?
How come the library is always so hot? And, if]
ithe heat was turned down, could the money saved
reduce New York State's budget deficit?
Why doesn't anyone clean the ketchup off the
garbage cans in McDuffs?
Why did they change the name of the "Ratt" to
IMcDuffs? Did they really expect it to catch on?
Why is "Ratt" food so over-priced with no
variety? And why does it close so early on|
Sunday's?
Why there are so many type-o's in the ASP?
How come students on the Kosher Meal Plan pay|
for 21 meals but only get 13?
Why aren't all the buses the same color? The|
green is just ugly.
Where does NYPIRG's money go?
Why doesn't the school expand parking or just|
give out fewer spaces?
Why are faculty lots always empty and student
lots always full?
How come I'm paying $80 for parking|
registration when I'm not even guaranteed a spot?
Why are there so many special parking areas|
marked off that are never filled?
Why is the bookstore always closed?
If we have so little money, how come there are
new signs outside for the school?
Why is the postering system so unorganized?
Chances are one will miss what they're interested in
because it's so covered up. How about having an}
SA main information center?
Why are the insides of elevators on Indian Quad
orange?
How come we're paying $500 more tuition and|
there still aren't any classes? And how come they,
ican cancel classes at random, without advance}
notice?
Parking seems to be the biggest gripe among
students, followed by lack of classes and budget,
concerns. It seems most students want to know
where the university's money goes.
The ASP will attempt to contact the appropriate!
sources and have these questions answered for|
Friday's issue.
In the mean time, it is comforting to know that!
students care about what's going on around them.|
So much for SUNY Apathy, SUNYA students
really do care.

The very visible minority
Throughout my three plus years at SUNY Albany, I
have met more people than ever before in my life. People
from Buffalo to Boston, Staten Island to the Soviet Union
and everywhere in between. I have been happy to find
that the majority have been friendly, intelligent
individuals who can rightly claim to have a clue and (at
least) some kind of grip on reality. Unfortunately, I have
also found there to be a highly visible minority of
throwbacks who have, from day one of my stay here,
contributed to making my (our) college experience less
pleasant and less fulfilling than it could (and should)
have been. You all probably know at least one of these
people I’m writing about.
One of those, who for some reason (possibly because
of an unresolved oedipal conflict or an extra
chromosome or something) seem determined to ruin,
through vandalism, theft and just plain idiocy, the few
luxuries we are provided with here at SUNYA.
Keith Starlin
month into my first term of school. I was living in a low-
tise on State Quad, and in these halls, all of the rooms are
arranged into a central lounge area. One day, I woke to
find a brand new 19” color television chained to a small
television stand in our lounge. Our RA went around
telling us all that she would hook up her VCR to the TV
and throw a movie/pizza party for the hall the next night.
Unfortunately, none of us ever got to see that movie, or
eat that pizza, since the set had been stolen within 24
hours of its installation. Apparently, someone had
decided that not only would he rather watch Ken Goewey
commercials in his own room than in the lounge, but that
the rest of us would approve of his decision.
I’m sad to say that this has not been my only such
experience. In the years since, I have seen or heard of
several incidents in which some large, heavy object, like
perhaps a fire extinguisher, or a bag of ice, was thrown
out of a tower penthouse or some upper-floor lounge
window. Incidents like these have led to the temporary
closing of several study lounges over the years.
Vandalism in the Colonial penthouse forced the school
to keep students from using it at night, and similar
incidents nearly forced Indian Quad to close its
penthouse.
Many students also seem to enjoy setting out to
systematically destroy their rooms during the final days
of any given school year. What many of these people do
not realize (although I doubt that it would make a
difference if they did) is that in many of these instances,
the student is not billed for the full cost of the damages
done. In some cases, the cost is so prohibitive that the
school does not pass on the full cost of repairs to the
guilty student. Instead, the school passes on the excess
cost to all of us.
Indian Quad used to have a pool room in the basement
of Montauk Hall. This was closed and locked up two
years ago when someone broke into the room and
destroyed a good portion of it. Why anyone would do
something so idiotic is beyond me, but the whole Quad
paid for it.
Last year, I was witness to a classic example of the off-
campus idiocy that helped get Party in the Park
cancelled. I was on Western Avenue when a student that I
recognized from around campus, ran past me in the
middle of the street. He was obviously drunk (something
which isn’t so bad in and of itself) and kept throwing
himself into piles of slush on the street. He was, of
course, yelling his head off the whole time, and after two
or three minutes the faces of residents began to appear in
their windows. He then-went running up to two cars,
Stopped at a light and started banging on their windows
yelling at them to give him a ride to SUNY. Giving their
ages and their reactions, the occupants of neither car
knew the boy, but when they pulled away he grabbed the
bumper of the rear car and went “skitching” on his face
for 15 or 20 feet. Everyone likes to let go and have a
good time once in a while, but is it necessary to terrorize
a whole neighborhood in the process?
In the past several weeks, I have become party to
another on-going problem caused by the visible minority
at SUNY. I’ve been working at SUNY Tunes this
semester and in my time there, I have learned that
shoplifting is a rather large problem. The managers say
that a good number of CDs are stolen every week, and
given the rather small budget afforded to SUNY Tunes
by SA, this has created a large financial burden for the
store. Don’t these students realize what they’re doing?
Here we have a music store that will do its best to get a
hold-of any CD, cassette or album for any student; is
located on the campus itself; will buy back used CDs;
and sells much of its merchandise at lower prices than
any mall music store. Yet the visible minority is, at best,
raising the prices the rest of us pay for music, worst,
threatening the continued existence of the store.
The SUNY system is not a rich one. The TV set stolen
from my lounge was not replaced, the pool room
Temained locked up my entire sophomore year (and may
still be closed), and SA cannot provide extra money to
SUNY Tunes to replace the CDs and cassettes stolen
from the store. How many privileges are we going to
lose, how many years in a row will Party in the Park have
to be cancelled, how high will our tuition have to be
raised, and how long will we have to put up with
behavior befitting a junior high schooler with a
behavioral disorder, before the visible minority grabs
hold of the reigns and decides to grow up?
LETTERS =
Think before you write
To the Editor:
We are writing this letter in response to a recent letter
in Friday’s ASP , entitled “Redirect Your Argument,” by
Jocelyn Grecco. In this letter it is evident that Ms.
Grecco is, indeed, perturbed by a recent editorial written
by Gina Barresi in last Tuesday’s issue of the ASP
entitled, “English Needs More Emphasis.”
Because we agree with Ms. Barresi’s claims, and
because we also believe that Ms. Grecco, in attempting
to refute her claims, failed considerably to address the
issue at hand, we will discount step by step each and
every one of her refutations. Also, unlike Ms. Grecco,
who proclaimed at the outset of her letter that she would
try to contain her “frustration and fury,” but due to the
high degree of sarcasm, failed to do so, we will not stoop
to her level, but rather we will refute her claims in a
more rational manner.
First and foremost, Ms. Barresi’s arguments were
directed at the English department and not at the English
majors. In her editorial, she simply suggested that poor
standards resulted in mediocrity. You ask in your letter,
“How does she arrive at the lofty conclusion that the
English requirements are not demanding enough?”
Further, you ask, “From what great research does she
base her claim?” Ms. Grecco, Ms. Barresi has been an
English major for the past three and a half years and has
taken courses in almost every genre there is. Do you not
think, that she is unable to determine whether or not the
English requirements are demanding enough? When you
say research, do you mean that she should have gone to
the library and taken out books on The Perfect

Requirements to Satisfy the English Major? Is this what
you mean by research? Granted, although she did not
proclaim in her editorial that she was an English major,
wasn’t it safe to assume that no one would attack a
department that they knew nothing about?
Secondly, you ask in you letter, “How do you define a
great literary work?” Further, you demand that she
elucidate her definition of a classic. As an English major,
don’t you know by the courses offered in the English
department what a great literary work is? Even though
the definition of a classic is debatable, isn’t it safe to
assume that a classic is a poem, novel, or play that
speaks to all generations? We do not read a classic, but a
classic reads us. It tells us something about who we are
as human beings and what those qualities are that makes
us human. Consequently, novels by Danielle Steele and
Jackie Collins do not constitute and will never constitute
aclassic.
Next you ask, “Why are Milton and Chaucer better
creators than Bronte?” It is evident that once again the
ASP succeeded in making another typographical error, so
we can understand how you have made your mistake.
However, she explicitly stated in the preceding paragraph
of her editorial, that an English major can graduate from
the University without even having read such classics as
Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte. Nowhere in her article
did she say that Milton and Chaucer were better creators
than Bronte. We believe what she meant was that there
should be more than one author course requirement, so
that a student will not only learn about Shakespeare, but
Chaucer, Milton, Swift or Bronte as well. (By the way,
she obviously knows these courses exist in the English
department. Why else would she have cited them?)
Furthermore, if Ms. Barresi’s suggestion for more
requirements was implemented, the department would
need more classes and more professors to teach these
classes. Therefore, because there would be more required
classes available, the degree of difficulty of getting into
these classes would still be the same as now. While we
agree that this does not alleviate the present problem, it
does not pose new problems either.
Lastly, you say that S/U grading serves a distinct and
admirable purpose. For who? For those students who
write their papers three hours before class because they
know that all they have to do is pass? Are you aware that
one of the basic tenets of our democracy is choice, and
by the English department mandating that this course be
taken S/U, they are infringing on a student’s freedom of
choice? If a student believes that he or she can get an A
in the course, shouldn’t he or she have the option to take
that course A-E? Additionally, how is expository writing
the regurgitation of teacher-specific information?
Regurgitation of the teacher-specific information occurs
in 100-level courses where the professor teaches facts
and students are tested on these facts. Expository writing
does not teach facts. It teaches a student how to organize
their thoughts by thinking coherently and writing
gramatically correct. Unlike creative writing, it is not of
a subjective nature and can very well be graded A-E.
In sum, if you agree that there is danger in
complacency, then you should have ‘agreed with Miss
Barresi’s editorial.

Grammar is unimportant
To the Editor:
There were several points of view addressed in Gina
Barresi’s article “English Needs More Emphasis,” which
are simply matters of opinion. The contrary view to these
debatable issues are not given any space at all, but that is
the nature of such editorials.
I had some problems with her opinion on the apparent
lack of an intense writing program within the English
department here at Albany. I happen to agree that there
should be some University-wide freshman writing course
aside from the “‘writing-intensive” courses already within
the Gen-Ed requirements. Writing helps to articulate your
thoughts, even your speech, and is beneficial in every
field of study, be it Business, Biology, or English.
However, I disagree with Barresi’s stance against the
pass-fail system. Surely some students will slack off, as
she insists, but they still are forced to write, since if they
don’t, they will fail. Whether they do a top-notch job is
up to them. Besides, not all people like to write,
including many who are English majors. I took a
mandatory freshman English course at another university
which was graded A-E. I like to write so I got an A.
Others who did not, received poor grades. A writing
course should not be graded similar to a course dealing
with literature. A class on Keats is more a reflection of
your thoughts on the poet, whether you dislike him or
not. A writing course is more a reflection on you, and
how can a professor judge and compare you to your
peers in this context?
One can always judge on grammar naturally. Barresi, I
am led to believe, doesn’t know of any professors that
comment on grammar and sentence’structure. She should
take a course with Professor Randall Craig. I thought I
had good grammar until he returned a paper that was
almost bleeding with comments. My grade fortunately
didn’t reflect the amount of corrections though, because
if it did, I would be up in arms. A paper should be judged
on what you think, rather than your grammar, especially
in English, where no opinion is black or white.
Expressing yourself well is very important, but bad
grammar can be overlooked, and it will, look at Bush.
Of course thinking should be the main focus of
English, not grammar, not writing, especially not what
books you read. Barresi finds it a crime that a student
can get away without reading Keats or Bronte or
whoever else she thinks is important. Any book, no
matter if it’s Swift, Hardy, Eliot, Baldwin, Dickinson, or
any of the other millions of creators out there is
guaranteed to make you think in some way. Many who
study English never read another classic again, with no
regret, and go on to fields far flung from the literary. A
Business major enters into the field of business, usually.
That area is as wide as it is varied, that’s why it demands
60 credits, to cover all bases. English has to be smaller or
else I believe it would get redundant. How many times
do you have to create a 10 page paper on some trivial
comparison or contrast? I believe the English major is
just fine in its credit capacity. English achieves its true
Objective here at Albany—it makes you think.
Simon Cousineau
A stand against bigotry
To the Editor:
The primary author of the Principles of a Just
Community rightly observed (in a September 24 letter in
the ASP) that these principles were not invalidated when
they were misunderstood and misapplied to justify
censorship. But the Just Community principles and the
circumstances of their adoption lend themselves to
exactly the kind of misunderstanding to which their
author, Mark Berger, properly objects.
The Committee for a Just Community was created in
the fall of 1989, as a response to off campus racial
incidents. During the previous summer, a young black
man, whose car had broken down in Bensonhurst, was
Killed in a traffic accident as he attempted to escape on
foot from a mob of white pursuers (whose sole reasons
for chasing him were his race and his presence in “their”
neighborhood). President Vincent O’Leary announced
the Just Community at the fall 1989 faculty meeting,
stating that “our outrage at the [Bensonhurst] event must
be translated into positive actions.” O’Leary even urged
faculty to “take the theme of a Just Community to their
classes.”
During the 89-90 academic year, campus tensions were
inflamed by appearances of the late Meir Kahane and
Kwame Toure (né Stokely Carmichael). In this
atmosphere, late in the spring semester, the Just
Community Committee was asked to produce a
Statement of principles, which was finished just in time
to be brought before the May, 1990 meeting of the
University Senate, but too late for the text to be
distributed in advance or for the adoption motion to be
included in the agenda.
President O'Leary requested and received the Senate’s
unanimous consent to consider the Just Community
Principles so that this statement could be adopted in time
to be distributed to incoming freshmen. Professor Berger
made an emotional appeal suggesting that by endorsing
the statement and by wearing Just Community lapel pins
we were bearing witness to the evils of racism. President
O'Leary said that the Principles “state very simply the
ideas of equity and liberty.” The resolution passed
unanimously and without substantive discussion. (The
only change was to add “the Library” to the list of places
where the principles apply.)
Last spring, on the first anniversary of the Principles’
adoption, the Senate was asked to reaffirm these
Principles. This time the text was part of the printed
agenda, but there was again no substantive discussion,
which would have been difficult since the last Senate
meeting of the spring always has a crowded agenda. The
Present author recalls stating that it might be useful to

really playing a junky style of
play,” said Albany coach Patrick
Dwyer.
Dwyer instituted a lineup
change after his team dropped
the first game of their next
match, against Bates College. He
placed a number of defensive
specialists, who usually play in
the back, on the front line. The
args ica
result was what Dwyer termed
“one of the best stretches I’ve
seen in the last three years.”
Albany came from behind to
beat Bates, 8-15, 16-14, 15-9.
In the consolation round,
Albany mowed down
Elizabethtown; 15-8, 15-11, 15-
9. Elizabethtown had beaten
Albany in the semifinals of last
year’s championship round of
the tournament.
Then, in a rematch of Friday’s
showdown, Albany pumelled

Letters

refer the principles to the
Council on Academic Freedom,
but this suggestion does not
appear in the minutes and, in any
event, was not followed. The
Principles that had passed
unanimously a year before drew
six abstentions, presumably
reflecting irritation with the
procedures.
Professor Berger, in his letter
to the ASP, states that the
Principles assert that the
University has a right to “pass
judgement on ideas that are
expressed on campus.” He notes
that this goes contrary to the
views that the University ought
either to be totally value free, or
that the truth (or perhaps the
tight to search for truth ) is the
only value to which the
University is institutionally
committed. Perhaps the Just
Community committee discussed
the issue in these terms, but
neither the Senate nor the faculty
have ever done so.
My own interpretation of the
Just Community principles is
consistent with Berger’s. The
University is broadly committed
to justice and equality, without
however being very specific
about differing or even
contradictory conceptions of
these values. But the right to
express views inconsistent with
any notion of equal rights is still
protected, though the University
will often respond either subtlely
or overtly. After Kwame Toure
(whose anti-Semitism is well
known) spoke in 1990, the Just
Community invited a black civil
rights veteran to campus, who
spoke about the extent and
importance of Jewish support for
civil rights. If a Ku Klux Klan
spokesman were invited to
campus, the University would
presumably criticize both the
speaker and the sponsoring
organization, while permitting
the talk to take place and
accepting an obligation to
preserve order.
But because the meaning of
the Just Community principles
has never been debated and
because the principles are seen
as a stand against bigotry, it
should not be surprising that
many believe that the principles
prohibit the expression on
campus of certain offensive
ideas.

Lady Danes take 11th straight Cap. District title [Women's soccer's |
By Patrick Cullen
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
An outstanding team effort was the
turning point as Albany’s women’s cross-
country team upset College of Saint Rose
to caputre its 11th straight Capital
District Invitational title.
“This was the most exciting Capital
District ever,” said ecstatic Albany coach
Ronald White. “Coming into the race as
underdogs and winning like this is a real
indication that our team is coming of
age.”
Conditions were dry and the weather
overcast as the runners set out upon
Saratoga State Parks five-kilometer
course.
The Albany runners ran the first mile
aggressively, hoping to set the pace and
hold their ground for the remainder of the
course. The end result was an impressive
Albany win, with the Lady Danes
outpointing St. Rose by 13 points.
Molly Herdic was Albany’s first
finisher, coming in sixth with a time of
19:58. Tricia Shultes was close behind,
taking seventh place in 20:04 time. Next
was Deirdre McGinnis, a freshman, who
came in at 20:06, good enough for a ninth
place finish. “Deidre ran a super race,”
White gleamed.
Dawn Dansky took 13th place, clocked
at 20:33. Amy Schroeder (20:39)
captured 14th, rounding out the top five
and completing Albany’s best split of the
season a :41 second time difference
between Herdic and Schroeder.
Melissa Miller (20:45) was sixth in for
Albany, netting 16th place. Elanna
Osdoby (21:02) was 19th and Jen Miller
(21:22) was 23rd. Sue Ebel (27th, 22:05),
Ingrid Gonzalez (30th, 22:51), Angela
Desposito (34th, 23:14), Meg Kelly
(35th, 23:25) and Alex Triacio (39th,
23:45) also competed for Albany.
Individual times for the Albany runners
were on the average about a minute faster
than they were on the same course two
weeks ago at the St. Rose Invitational.
Behind Albany and St. Rose was
Union in third palce, compiling 73
points. RPI was fourth! with 82 points and
Siena (97) was fifth. Russell Sage and
Hudson Valley CC competed but
received incomplete scores.
Saint Rose’s Christa Sibro was first
across the finish line, with a time of
19:22.
“This was the real turning point in this
season,” mused White. “This should
propel us into the Albany Invitational.”
The Albany Invitational will be held
Saturday at 11:15 behind University
Gym.

win streak ended
By Scott Breier
The women’s soccer team’s three-
igame winning streak came to end on!
Saturday, as the Oneonta Lady Red
Dragons (5-8-1) defeated the visiting
Lady Danes, 2-0. Two days earlier,
Albany had stretched that streak to three
games by defeating the host Lady Hawks!
lof North Adams, 1-0.
On Saturday, Albany (3-4-2) could not
lovercome the muddy field or an
aggressive Oneonta State team.
With less than 15 minutes remaining
in the first half, Megan Hughes beat
[Lady Danes goalkeeper Monica Harlow
to put Oneonta ahead, 1-0.
Kristi Passionero added a second-half}
goal to seal up the victory for Oneonta.
The Lady Danes could not get things}
going, but during the last 20 minutes of
play Albany’s offense started to click.
/However, time ran out before the Lady]
(Danes made a serious threat.
Harlow made 11 saves for the Lady)
Danes, who were outshot 21-10, Peggy}
Heisler was credited with six for|
Oneonta.
On Thursday, a lucky break after 84}
minutes of play gave the visiting Lady]
Danes a 1-0 victory over North Adams|
(7-2).
With six minutes remaining in the
igame, Nancy Nicolich fired a far post}
shot to the far post which got past Lady
[Hawks goalkeeper Thuraya Cable. A last|
ditch effort to stop the ball by North|
Adams left fullback Sue Santucci failed.
The win gave the Lady Danes a brief|
stay at .500. It also gave Harlow, who}
made 15 saves, her first shutout.
The Lady Danes will travel to Union
College tomorrow for a 4:00 game.

In a battle of two winless
teams, the Albany Great Danes
rolled all over Western
Connecticut in a 45-3 blowout.
A Homecoming crowd of 1,700
was witness to the first home
game in over a month and
Albany’s first victory of 1991. It
was a reversal of roles for the
Danes, who thus far have been
on the losing end of a few routs.
Albany found it’s success
tunning the ball and totalled 196
yards on the ground in the first
half alone. The loss dropped the
Colonials of Western
Connecticut to 0-5 and avenged
last year’s 13-0 defeat.
The Danes, running as soon as
they got the ball, jumped on top
early, scoring on their first two
possessions for a 14-0 first-
quarter lead. Junior Mike
Imperato bolted for nine yards to
set the tone, Eight plays
later, quarterback Jaan Laap
carried the ball in from 11 yards
out for a 6-0 lead. Mike Malvin
converted the point after. In all,
the Danes ran seven times for 70
yards on the drive.
The difference on this day was
the play of the offensive line
which was able to dominate the
line of scrimmage and create
huge holes. Imperato took
advantage of the excellent
blocking on his way to 106 yards
on 16 carries, including a

Albany football ends losing streak by thrashing W. Connecticut 45-3 on Homecoming
touchdown. Albany finished
with 277 rushing yards.
The Colonials could only gain
five yards on three plays on their
next possession. Larry Marin
returned Todd Hominik’s punt to
the Colonial 48-yard line. Ben
Alston (71 yards rushing) helped
set up the next score with two
Tuns netting 43 yards. Alston
displayed power and speed
bursting up the middle and
breaking tackles.
Once again it was Laap who
capped the drive with his second
of three TD’s, this one a rush
from 11 yards. It was a big day
for Laap, who not only ran well,
but was also effective through
the air. Laap finished with 45
rushing yards and was seven for
10 for 86 yards passing.
Possibly more important than
Laap’s numbers is the
confidence the team now seems
to have in its offense. The 45
points for Albany were out of
character for a team that had
scored a total of 31 in four
games,
Western Connecticut answered
on its next possession, picking
up its only three points of the
game. A 22-yard field goal
ended a 12-play drive covering
76 yards. It was an unimpressive
drive that was a result of
Albany’s sloppiness, with two
personal fouls giving the
Colonials 30 yards.

impressed with his team’s stiff
defense on the drive. “We really
moved to the ball extremely
well. Our line was able to tear
them up inside.” Impressively,
there were 10 defensive players
with at least five tackles,
With the score 21-3 and time
tunning down in the first half,
Laap was called upon to throw
deep. Laap eluded a bit of
pressure and let one fly to Carlos
Bonet, who ran under it and
made a diving catch worthy of
the highlight films. The play
went for 46 yards and set up
Laap’s TD with 23 seconds left
in the half.
Feeny's goal keys Albany's

It didn’t take long for Vassar
coach Andy Jennings to notice a
change in Albany’s men’s soccer
team. Compared to last season,
“they’re a lot more physical,”
Jennings said. He wasn’t
kidding. The Great Danes (5-3-
1) pushed the (4-6-2) all around
the field during their 1-0 win on
Saturday.
Jennings’ complaints to the
teferee crew got louder and more
animated as play continued.
Finally, Jennings’ frustration
caused him to simply laugh.
“(The referee) called the game
well, “Jennings said, “but it’s
sad that yellow cards are given
for verbal infractions, instead of
fouls...We were physically
outplayed but we were clearly
the better team. The physical
aspect shouldn’t overbear skill.”
Albany sophomore Paul Feeny
scored his fourth goal of the year
only four minutes into play, as
the Danes unbeaten streak
reached six and winning streak
grew to four. Mike Avallone’s
long throw-in left Vassar’s
defense disoriented, allowing
Joe DiBella to slide a pass to
Feeny, who was unmarked on
the left post.
The Danes then proceeded to
physically punish their rivals.
Vassar did not respond well to
the host’s game plan and could
only mount a limited attack.
They had no more than a few
legitimate opportunities.
One came in the 18th minute
of the first half when Joe
Davidyock’s blast off a direct
kick eluded Albany’s defensive
Albany worked quickly to add
on to the 28-3 halftime lead. The
Danes’ Eric Coleman recovered
a fumble early in the third
quarter on the Colonial’s 16-yard
line. Three plays later, Eddie
Lemon took one in from 10
yards out.
Albany did not score again in
the third quarter but added a
Steve Zampino TD and a Mike
Malvin field goal for 10 points
in the fourth quarter,
There were many positives for
Albany in the victory. The team
was able to take the ball away
with three interceptions and one
fumble recovery, but more
importantly the Danes only gave
the ball away once by fumble. In
Albany’s last game, a September
28 loss to Union, the Danes lost
possession by fumble six times,

Perhaps the most spectacular
play of the afternoon came from
a throw-in by Vassar’s Erik
Endo. About 35 yards from
Albany’s endline, Endo sent a

box. However, before releasing
the ball, Endo executed a perfect
forward roll over the ball and
came up throwing. The
Homecoming crowd was at first
awed, then relieved, as Bennett
Graebber’s header off the
unusual throw barely went over
the Danes’ crossbar.
Unofficially, Vassar took 17
shots compared to Albany’s 13,
but most did not present any
problems, as Baker turned in
another solid performance.
Baker made 16 saves in eaming
his fourth shutout of the season.
Vassar goalie Chris Magryta
stopped seven Albany shots.
“That was a real good
victory,” said Albany coach Roy
Pfeil, whose team hadn’t played
in 10 days due to a cancelled
game. “They’re a real good team
... Now we have a door open.
RPI beat Union, two to one,
(Saturday). We have a big game
with them (RPI) next week that
might propel us into the top five
in the state.”
