It was all up to Lincoln's onside kick that
would determine Albany's fate. In a surprise
move to try fo catch the Bulls’ return team
off guard, the Danes broke out of the huddle
and Lincoln squibbed the ball immediately,
without letting the Albany special team line
up in standard position,
The unexpected move seemed to surprise
the Bulls as the Danes sprinted downfield 10
yards to apparently recover the ball in a mad
scramble, However, the referees said the
Danes had initially touched the ball before it
traveled the required 10 yards, ruling the ball
dead at the point where it was touched and
‘giving the Bulls possession and the ballgame.
The referrees' decision prompted an
uproar from the Danes’ sidelines and even
mild-mannered Ford went onto the field to
discuss the ruling
The Danes contended that the ball first
touiched a Buffalo player and that was the
consensus in both teams' lockerrooms after-

“J thought it was a bad call too," said the
defensive co-captain, who led the team on the
day with 15 tackles while his interception set

A few players in the Buffalo lockerroom
admitted it was a lousy call, ‘It was a

Where feminism is going in the next decade and reaffirm
Whiere feminism came from.
The conference had a large, vocal turnout, The day was
composed of various discussion workshops, with the struc:
tured program being highlighted by outspoken activist and
author Sonia Johnson, and acclaimed feminist poet Judy
Grahn. Adrian Schreck, a SUNYA student said, ‘The con-
ference hield a positive atmosphere in which women were
able to reaffirm their feminism,"
The conference was opened by Johnson, who hopes to be
the Citizen Party's presidential candidate. Her keynote ad-
dress was described by one woman as being "spiritually
uplifting.”” Johnson's speech urged women to never stop
believing their “spirituality as women," while trying to ef=
fect change.
She spoke in the rhetoric of Martin Luther King Jr.f
about the importance of having a dream. "Let us remove
our energy from the patriarchy, let us put our energy into
dreams. We are going 10 build a new world from our vi-
sions right in the wreckage of the old one, That's non
patriarchial stuff.'* Jotinson spoke of the need to dream
because she felt that the archetype of violence in society is
violence against women, "If we can't stop incest and rape
in one city, we can’t ever stop war,"” she claimed,
Johnson noted that it isn’t enough just to try and change
individual aspects of society, but that women must begin to
create a whole new society.
In discussing her political views, Johnson said, “Third
party candidates are extremely valuable for Americ
politics."” She pointed out that many third party ideas
throughout American history, such as Social Security and
child labor laws, have become accepted parts of society.
Her politics are feminist politics, Johnson claimed,
explained that this means a solid commitm

radically changing values and attitudes."
Johnson said she believes the model upon which all
Violence in society is fashioned exists archetypically in
violence against women. This violence is in the form of bat-
tering and rape, she noted
In 1978, Johnson went to the Washington Post with
pened to m might have
taken a half a dozen years to do on my own,’ Johnson
said, She has since devoted herself to public speaking, the
ERA, and her presidential, platform since her excom:
munication,
After Johnson's speech a panel addressed the relation
ship between feminism of the 1970's and feminism of the
1980's. The panel met to bring the two generations of
feminists into perspective and (0 show that feminism is not
dying in the 1980's, The discussion Was inspired by a New

“Feminism has allowed me to make sense out of my life,"*
he also. spoke of her personal concern of carrying
feminism on to the next generation,
Watkins and Isley addressed the question of the Black
movement and the women's relations between the move-
ment over the last two decades. The speakers agreed that
the only real difference between feminism of the 1970's and
feminism of the 1980's was the existance of a political and
economic environment now that might be more conducive
to the advancing women’s movement more readily than in
the past, The conference was then convened to the in-
dividual workshops.
During the lunch break between workshop sessions,
Dana Cunningham, a member of the Women's Committee
for the National Black Organizer's Conference, addressed
the conference, She spoke on “Why women should put
their eneray into supporting Jesse Jackson for president,"*
A second and third workshop session conyened after the
lunchtime'address,
The day ended with a poetry reading by Judy Grahn, the
author of eight books, including, “Edward the Dyke and
Other Poems,” “The Common Women Poems,” “She
Who," and ‘The Queen of Wands," from which she read,
She has also has recorded an album of her poetry with Pat
Parker, She said that she draws many of her ideas for her
Poetry from different cultural mythologies, such as Native
American and Chinese. The major themes of the poems she
read dealt with a female creatrix, rather than a male

“This year’s Council has not

About 150 people gathered at the steps of

night to protest the sentencing of Dawn

Was raped by her father, was sentenced last
Wednesday to two and a half to seven years
{in jail following her October 6 conviction of
manslaughter.
She shot her father — wealthy Clifton

his home,

and his wife were in the process of divorce
According to The Knickerbock
Cruickshank called the police and. said,
Just killed my father ... 1 can't stand it

upon the sexual abuse issue, according to the

She claimed that the court's action supports
this statement, She noted that, “Women and

Wait could not be reached for comment on
the vigil,
Frustration was also echoed by peers of
Cruickshank who attended the vigil, Katie

reaction of the school, “Everyone was sur-

Nuclear freeze is the subject of debate at CSR
By Jerry Camplione
A RooCIATY NEMS EDITOR
The pros and cons of a nuclear freeze was
the subject of a debate at the College of Saint
Rose last Wednesday afternoon, Speakers at
the debate were Colonel Ignatius Gennaci,
lawyer Wayne Jaquith and Director of the
Arms Race and Nuclear Weapons research
project for the Institute of Policy Studies Dr
Arkin.
aci, director of the Air Force Reserve
Officer's Training Corps program at RPI, ex:
plained that he was in attendance of his own
free will and that his opinions might not coin-
cide with those of the Air Force, Jaquith,
author of The MX Missile Debate,
member of the Lawyers Alliance for Nuclear
Arms Control (LANAC), an activist group
located in Boston who co-sponsored the
event
The question that Gennaci posed at the
how do we achieve a meaningful
nuclear freeze?” According to Gennaci, a
freeze can occur only after a balance of
Weapons has been achieved, Jaquith explain:
ed that “we need a nuclear weapons freeze
‘and we need it now” explaining that the arms
race has gone on too long.
Gennaci noted that today the United States
is at a numerical disadvantage with the Soviet
Union in all categories of nuclear weapons
“During the period of detente the USSR in-
troduced many new weapons"” he said, conti-
nuing, ‘the US did not introduce any." Ja-
quith admitted that ‘the USSR has made
great strides in their nuclear weapons but
claimed that the US did lead in early phases"?
Of the nuclear age.
Gennaci claimed that “since 1945, there
have been many periods when the US would
have accepted a nuclear freeze but our adver-
saries continued to try to overtake us in
nuclear arms."’ Gennaci stated that there is
now at least a 3:1 ratio between the USSR
and the US in nuclear weapons. Jaquith said
he feels that ‘we cannot play the numbers
game anymore."” He added that the United
States has enough weapons to destroy the
Soviet Union and the world several times
over, explaining that the US has destructive
power equal {0 one million times that of the
bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Jaquith claimed that ‘ta freeze is a call to
the halt of the arms race in the simplest
form,"” However, according to the colonel,
outset was
‘a freeze would be dangerously irrespons!
ble. It would perpetuate the arms imbalance
and Would suggest that we are unwilling to
meet the challenge.
"The only language the Russians unders-
tand fs force, It is only the force of threat we
can rely upon,” added Gennaci. Jaquith
claimed that {t doesn’t matter how many
nuclear arms the US has. "It won't stop the
Soviets,’” he said,
One solution offerred by Gennaci was the
build-down, in which two or three older
Weapons are dismantled for every new one
deployed. ‘If we have climbed the ladder of
nuclear expansion, why not descend the lad
der?” Gennaci asked.
According to Jaquith, a build:-down is not
the answer. Gennaci stated that the build
down still allows for the production of the
MX, Cruise and Pershing II missles which,
besides endangering Soviet security, also en:
dangers the United States. Jaquith claimed
that, in the event of a strike by Pershing 11
missles, the Soviet Union would haye to
counter-strike upon warning by the US,
because the missiles travel 100 fast to be in-
tercepted, ‘Whose security is at stake if they
have to deploy on warning?" he asked
Jaquith stated that there are enough
nuclear weapons already, Gennaci asked,
“What is enough? It’s not what it takes to
kill every man, woman and child on this
earth,” he said, “It is enough to assure that
not a single one will be used,"” he added,
Arkin, who good-naturedly kidded both
Gennaci and Jaquith, disagreed with both
speakers and commented that both speakers
seemed preoccupied with the number of
Weapons, According to Arkin, “the numbers
don't matter. What matters is the perception
of security." He indicated that the Reagan
Administration is doing better than the
Carter Administration with the same number
Of weapons.
Arkin said he feels that ‘in trying to scare
the Soviet Union, they (the government) have
scared us and Europe."? Gennaci disagreed
on that point, claiming that “despite the
political controversies, our allies have en-
dorsed their development.
“The Soviet Union is not getting ready tor
strike the U.S, and vice-versa,”” said Arkin,
who added that in 38 years the U.S. and
U,S.S.R. have not even met in face-to-face
confrontation. However, he warned, ‘‘when
it does happen, it will be a nuclear conflict,""
Arkin explained that the objective of arms
conirol should be nuclear disarmament, "We
could have a freeze tomorrow and still haye a
nuclear war," he said, Arkin said: that a
freeze could slow the arms race between the
U.S, and the U.S.S.R., but wondered about
British, French and Chinese systems."*We
have {0 think about a comprehensive global
arms policy,!? he said
Arkin claimed that a build-down “iy not
worse or better than a freeze." He added that
“what is most Important is for the U.S.S.R,
and the U.S. to sit down ata table with the
intention of stopping the arms race."
At one point in the evening,
pointed out that “we as democratic citizens
have the right (0 voice our opinion, but not
to interfere in those officials who negotiate
the best for the U.S."” Arkin contested this
attitude, saying that “the public rules this
country," This brought loud applause from
the crowded auditorium,
‘We are supposed 10 have a say," he said,
adding that if our interference is so strong
that policies get changed and the government
doesn't like it, so be it,"
Arkin concluded by asking how to achieve
disarmament if the U.S, Tears the Soviet
Union, "You get it through measures which
crete security," he concluded,

Early detection key to treating eating disorders
By Stephen Marks
Anorexia Nervosa, according to Gail W. George, M.A.,
pis an cating disorder occurring almost exclusively in white
females between the ages of 12-25 in middle- and upper-
‘class families. In an article in the March 1982 issue of The
Runner, Sherryl Henry, Jr. described anorexia as ‘‘a
jdangerous psychiactric disorder in which people, the ma-
jority of whom are women, start dieting and don’t stop un-
ttil they are dead."
+ George is a local psychotherapist whose practice deals ex-
clusively with anore: and bulemics. Bulemia is another
"eating disorder, affecting people of the same demographic
* group, but which is characterized by repeated eating binges
followed by self-induced purging. According to Jane E.
, Brody in the March 30 New York Times, ‘victims may con-
sume up to 55,000 calories in an hour or two, then induce
vomiting and repeat the behavior as often Hy
‘as four times a day. Others take laxatives Middle
— as many as 300 a week — to prevent Earth
their bodies from retaining the enormous
amounts of food they consume,” ROOLS
George will be the prinelple speaker at an| informal
presentation on anorexia and bulemia, sponsored by Mid-
dle Earth in cooperation with Feminist Alliance and Stu-
dent Association, Wednesday, November 16 from 7-10
pam, in LC23,
According to George, the anorectic female usually has an
attractive figure before she begins dieting. She is typically
very bright, and does well in school, George sald, “prior to
dieting, this particular child was considered ‘the perfect
child. . .always helpful, had lots of friends, easy to get
along with — certainly a child we never expected to look
like this!’ The dieting child eventually looks so emaciated
that the most common description is ‘she looks like an in-
This willful starvation starts at puberty, when the female
figure begins to “fill out,"" according to George. Through
fasting, the anorexic child halts this development, She ex
periences amenorrhea, which is cessation of the menstrual
cycle, Becoming skeletal, she refuses (o cat despite
desperate urgings from family and friends,
Other symptoms, said George, include:
—a weight loss of at least 25 percent of original body
weight,
periods of hyperactivity and unrelenting exercise,
—self-induced vomiting or excessive use of laxatives,
—a distorted body image (i.c., they actually feel fat
despite their emaciation),
=a preoccupation with food, such as excessive cooking
or fad diets,
=a morbid fear of obesity,
ft change froma very obedient child to one who ts
openly rebellious, and

A 5-15 percent mortality rate from starvation among
anorexics is a generally accepted figure. Pop music sti
Karen Carpenter was one such fatal victim of anorexia ner-
vosa, According to People magazine, *'an autopsy revealed
no immediate explanation for her heart failure, But after a
long bout with anorexia, said Dr. Joel Yager of U.C.L.A,'s
Eating Disorder Clinic, ‘the most common cause of death is
Jow serum potassium, which can cause an irregularity in the
heartbeat,’”*
There are many theories as to the cause of anorexia,
George stated that ‘'she has found a way to break out of
her earlier ‘perfect, doll-like child? image, where she never
disagreed or created any trouble, always doing what others
Wanted of her. For years now she has had awesome control
of herself. She has seemingly defied nature's most basic
function — secking food when hungry, She has attained
mastery of her cravings for food, comfort, intimacy, She is
unique, She feels special,
!
‘Another widely supported theory suggests that women
become anorexic through social emphasis on slimness and
the value placed on the "ideal"? female figure. Judy Miller
of Feminist Alliance agrees with this theory, ‘There is a
standard of beauty for women in society, Women sce being
thin as an indirect access to power through the approval of

She said that the infirmary is currently working “with

Dawn, fights back, she will get

Up to 20 percent of the The criteria, as outlined by Patricia
A. Newman and Patricia A, Halverson in their book
Anorexia and Bulemia: A Handbook for Counselors and
Therapists, includes:
recurrent episodes of binge eating,
consumption of high-caloric food during a binge,
inconspicuous eating during a binge,
—termination of binges by abdominal pain, sleep, or
self-induced vomiting,
repeated attempts to lose weight through vomiting or
lise of diuretics, and
—frequent weight fluctuations (greater than ten pounds)
due to alternating binges and fasts,
The most frequent age of onset for bulemia is 18 years,
When significant life decisions and transitions are taking
place, Bulemia is also brought on by feelings of low self-
esteem, lack of coping skills in stressful situations, and like
anorexia, by social obsession with slimness and dieting,
The key 10 effective treatment of both anorexia and
bulemia lies in carly detection, followed immediately by
professional attention, If the pattern of fasting is not
changed early, the victim of an eating disorder may con:
tinue her life-threatening starvation behavior throughout
her life,
After a complete physical has been performed, a
diagnosed anorectic or bulemlc may need to be hospitalized

Kent State students felt so strongly about the Viel-
nam issue that blood was actually shed, At Albany:
State students did not even feel strongly enough
about the Central America isstie to attend a teach-in.
Perhaps it is true that the issues in Central America are
hot exactly paraltel to those of Vietnam. But the fact re-
mains that an array of films, speakers, and discussions were
available for three days on the issues of this volital part of
the World and very few Albany students found the time to
attend,
One of the sessions was a forum on Women and the War
in Central America, Yanira Chacon, a Salvadoran woman,
was present to share her experiences with women in the
ULS, She sald that she feels certain the Salvadoran women
will play an active role in any Salvadoran government after
the struggle ends because of their essential involvement
before and during the Revolution,
The truth of Chacon’s statement is yet to be seen,
Where were you?
However, it seems that more than six people of this univer-
sity should be interested in knowing the tactics of AMES
(The Salvadoran Women's Association), the struggles they
fare in, and the reasons behind Chacon's strong convictions
There were sessions that drew crowds of up to a hundred
people, but this hardly reflecis the eneray with which
students responded 20 years ago to what they considered er-
rors in the policies of their government. Perhaps there was
only a handful of people at the first teach-in on Vietnam,
before our awn soldiers started getting shot . Is that what
we're waiting for?
Today's students do not live in the past, but they should
have the wisdom to see that the Reagan Administration
does. Although the conflicts are in different parts of the
world, many of the same errors are being made, The U.S.
Invasion of Grenada and the continued backing of the
rightist dictatorship of El Salvador are giving many people
‘a gnawing feeling of ‘deja vu'’.
The organizers of the teach-in obviously saw similarities
between the situations in El Salvador and Vietnam. tn fact
they scheduled a session of testimonials on Vietnam, This
was a chance for faculty and students to share thelt views
during the Vietnam era and the similarities between that
period and today.
Maybe we are all sick of hearing how great the students
of the '60's were. They didn't have all the problems that
students of '80's are facing, anyway. Or maybe their hasn't
been enough bloodshed to really get a student movement
off the ground, Maybe we need to sce our draft numbers
come up.
More concretely, maybe the poor attendence of the |
teach-in was due (0 ineffective advertising, Or, as an op
timistic organizer suggested, perhaps there were just 100 |
many events scheduled during the course of three days,
Maybe there are too many maybes,
Whatever the reason Is, the real question we all must ask |
of ourselves, and of each other, is do we have something to|
say about our government policies? And can we view them
in an historical context, so that we may react to them before
they cost any more lives? If the answers to these questions
are yes, then maybe we should start learning,

World policy reform
Should the advanced nations of the world reform thelr
policies toward developing countries? 1f so, in what dire
tion should they be reshaped? If not, what will be the
ultimate outcome of mankind?
These important questions have been debated for cen-
turles while the relationship between advanced nations and
developing countries has steadily worsened, The British In-
vasion of the Falkland Islands, Israeli invasion of Lebanon,
United States invasion of Grenada, Vietnamese invasion of
Cambodia, French invasion of Chad, and the Soviet inva-
sion of Afghanistan indicate that policy reform between.

countries simply to alleviate misery and to avold and-or
delay World War 111, And why is this so? Because the peo-
ple of the underdeveloped world are disillusioned,
dissatisfied, and disenchanted by the constraints placed on
them by thelr stronger neighbors, They are actually fed up,
they are Co the point of frustration where they begin to feel,
‘What do We have to lose?" When you get to that point,
You are the {ype of person who can create a very dangerous
explosive atmosphere.
This type of attitude now prevails in such troubled
egions as Lebanon and El Salvador, and is gaining
momientum in places such as the Philippines and Pakistan,
The advanced nations of the World practically control the
economic reins of all developing countries. Whether
through lvans, equipment and machinery, military
assistance, technical expertise, or coerced special favors,
developing nations are somewhat like orphan children sith
howhere (0 go, It is often asserted that the multinational
corporations play a significant role in assisting in the
development of poor countries, This wornsout myth hi
been challenged and unearthed many times. ‘There fs ir-
refutible conclusive evidence that the number one goal of
the multinational corporations is to maximize profits and
minimize Wages; resulting in massive starvation,
unbelievable health hazards, and wretched living condi-
tions, Moreover, the United Nations tenaciously tries to
elimi jomic misfortune in the developing countries,
only to be restrained by legalities, loopholes, and guidelines
ished by wealthier countries, Benevolent public and
cles, such as the Peace Corps, Operation
Crossroads, Student Exchange Programs, Care, World
Hunger Inc., etc,, have been criticized for being
hypocritical, overly bureaucratic, conscious saving, and
strongholds for spies. Hence, their usefulness is neither felt
or desired by developing nations.
The advanced nations of the world must reform their
economic policies soon. Some sort of measure is niceded to
redistribute the world's wealth equitably. Whether such a
radical equitable arrangement can be reached — at least
ithin the next several, years — is open to serious doubt.
It is now evident that economic specialists from all coun-
tries, not just Europe, must participate equally in solving
the world's economic crisis. Beonomic views, opinions,
find policies which drastically effect. the entire world cannot
be formulated by special interesis. There can be nothing but
World chaos and confusion as long as such a strange ar
rangement exists. No one Is going to stand still very long
when he knows he is being exploited, particularly when he
has no Input whatsoever into the decisions which effect his
livelihood, Once a person realizes he Is being used,
manipulated, and degradated, the worst form of hostility
erupts within him, This person, at this particular moment,
could care less about laws, morals, ethics, or nuclear
missles, When the advanced nations analyze this fact,
perhaps we will sce less bombings, massacres and invasions,
‘The world's present economic arrangement breeds hatred,
nourishes nationalism, and provokes wars, The people in
the developing countries have been treated like beggars,
bums, and ‘nobodys"? long enough. It Is time for the ad-
vanced nations to reevaluate and revise their economic
policies towards developing countries and permit them to
haye conerete input into their own economic future,
The foreign policy of the Reagan administration, as with
other developed countries; is similar to its economic
policies — scary and dangerous. Our present government
has entangled us in a conflict on every side of the globe,
‘with the greates disaster (so far) being in Lebanon, It is time
for the American people to get off of their knees and une-
quivocally demand the Reagan administration to pull U.S.
interest out of regions that are hostile towards us, This is
not retreatism but common sensism, For example, what can
be gained from the adminsitration’s support of the racist
and barbaric regime of South Africa? A place where you
may be hung for simply stating the word democracy, Why
should We go-ahead and give Marcos of the Philippines 900
million dollars when the citizens over there are burning
erican flags and sticking pins in dolls of Ronald
Reagan? And in Central America, the Reagan administra
tion is playing all kinds of games with Nicaragua and El
Salvador — seeking to overthrow one government while
supporting the other, What kind of democracy Is this? The
Reagan administration's foreign policy must be reformed
not only because it supports dictatorships around th
World, more importantly, it enhances the potential for the
further spread of communism,
The foreign policy of the Reagan administration is
Vague, ambiguous, and obscure, It lacks consistency and
constructiveness as vividly displayed in war torn Lebano
and Grenada, Congress is always at odds with the ad
ministration and is confused on how to handle the "“John
Wayne!” type of foreign policy it exhibits, This seemingly
‘aimless foreign policy confuses other superpowers, befud
dles our neighbors, and nurtures international distrust
So where do we go from here? Surely not back (0 som

where full seale nuclear war may erupt at any moment
Perhaps we should say a quick prayer; but, by the time we
bend our knees it may be too late, The: present U.S. ad
ministration, along with other advanced nations, must str
ingently reevaluate the economic and foreign policies it pur
Sues. Then) reform these policies in conformity with
humanism, not Republicanism. America will no fonger be
recognized as the ‘land of the free’ and ‘home of th
brave’, but will be stigmatized as the “land of the
freeloader"’ and **home of the bully”, if policy reform does
not materialize soon, The Reagan administration must
reform these policies within the principles of reason and in
consistency with the facts of meaningful social and
behavioral sciences,

Dave Adam: shooting guard
By KEITH MARDER
Associate Sports Editor
A bystander at a recent Albany State men’s basketball
practice noted, “I heard a rumor that Dave Adam is going
to hit the rim on one of his jumpshots today,’”
The bystander continued, “You see this drill where they
shoot around the perimeter? The other day he made 14 out
of 18, and today he made 12 out of 15. This guy is
amazing."' In short, Dave Adam is the Ideal shooting guard,
and the Danes will look to him for leadership both on and
off the court in the 1983-84 season.
‘Adam recently showed off his awesome shooting pro-
wess in the November 4 Purple-White intrasquad scrim-
mage, He shot seven out of 10 from the floor and finished
with 17 points. Itis this kind of production that is expected
out of Adam regularly this year.
Last year, Adam averaged 6.5 points per game on 46.8
field goal shooting in his role as sometimes starter,
sometimes reserve, He also shot a very solid 73.2 per cent
from the foul line. This year he (s strictly in a starting role
and Is expected to produce in a big way.
Adam was tabbed co-captain of the team along with for:
ward Wilson Thomas. These two will have their hands full
trying to replace last year’s captains, John Dieckelman and
Mike Gatto.
Dieckelman was not only the statistical leader of the
Danes in almost every area, but he also had that rare per-
sonality to Jead a team through thick and thin
One of two players will not be enough to pick up the
slack of such a superstar.
All of the guys who were here last year have grown up a
lot, We're all going to have to be pretty much leaders,’
Adam said.
In addition to his leadership role, he will be counted on.

Last year you could just sit out there and just feed the
ball to John (Dieckelman) and John was either going to
score or get fouled, The guys that are playing there now are
plyaing well, but they're not going be a J.D, This means the
guards are going to have to score more. and I'm going to

Dave is the best shooter we have, we will need at least
15 shots a game out of him to be successful this year,
commented Albany Head Coach Dick Sauers.
think he’s got a lot more confidence in his shooting
than when he started two years ago, and he should have a
good year,” Sauers said,
Adam doesn't see any problems with adding more to the
team’s offense
There were times last year when Doc (Sauers) used to
get mad at me when | didn't shoot. | worked hard over the
summer on my shooting and now | have a lot of con

Last season Adam generally came off the bench for ins

different role, Now Adam is starting at guard opposite Dan
Croutier.
We work well together. If | make a mistake he covers

is going to do,’’ said Adam,

pointed out the Niskayuna native.

‘Adam, who also added, “don’t think I'can run the break
as well as Danny. He's a phenomenal passer. But, once we
get into a half-court offense (think | can run itas well as he
can."
As far as predicting the team’s success this year, Adam is
very optimistic.
““\ think we have a chance to be very, very good. | know
last year there were a lot of times when the guards could
outplay us, That was one of the main reasons we lost
games, | think there are going to be very few games when
the guards get outplayed this year.’
There is nothing more stimulating to athletes than a loud
home crowd that isin thelr favor, Being that the Danes will
be a running team, they will be an exciting team that will
Keep a crowd on its feet, Adam hopes that this will renew
fan interest in the team,
“One thing | hope we get this year are the crowds. It’s a
Jot more fun playing when people are yelling for you,"’ the
captain said.
‘Adam's most productive game scoring wise last year was
in a 79-75 road loss to Cortland where he popped in 16
points. Again, this is hoped to be a routine sort of game for
him shis year,
‘Adam, who stands 5'10', sat out his freshman season
with an illness and he was redshirted before returning to
action two years ago, Thus, even though this Is his fourth
year at school he Is a junior and has one year of eligibility.
left after this season, This is good news for Great Dane fans
and coaches,
Watching Adam at an Albany practice Is like watching an.
artist at work, He usually arrives at practice early, where he
shoots about 50 shots a day on his own before the’ regular
portion of practice begins, This {s where Adam is at his
best, Shooting is his masterpiece, and his textbook form
and grace make his shooting a sight to see, It's almost as if
you're watching a machine, Head fake, dribble to the
right, shot, swish. Head fake, dribble to the left, shot,
swish, If you were to look in the encyclopedia under
“Basketball Shooting,”’ you just might see Adam's picture,
When regular practice begins, things are generally no dif-
ferent, Whether it be a shooting drill, foul shooting practice
or a scrimmage, Adam wears out the nets,
Even his teammates marvel at Adam's extraordinary
shooting touch, Recently at a practice the varsity was
scrimmaging against the junior varsity, and Adam was up
{o his old tricks, He hit three bombs in a row, prompting
teammates |} jones and Adam Ursprung to turn around and
chuckle in awe, "This guy doesn’t miss,” Jones said, with
only the slightest bit of exaggeration,Adam’s three
howitzers prompted Savers to stop practice and scold the
defense. "Can't you guys tell that he can shoot yet?!’
Savers yelled, Adam went on to miss one shot, then hit
another one from downtown before being removed from
the game, His teammates congratulated him for his fine
four out of five performance. He thanked them and stared
back on the floar, seemingly embarassed, For Dave Adam,
it was just another day at the office. t

It seems that two things always stay the
same in SUNYAC Conference basketball
First, the SUNYAC-East consistently con.
tains the most competitive clubs in the con.
ference. Second, the Potsdam Bears, no
matter how many players they lost to
Braduation, continue to fill the holes and
remain the dominating force in the divi-
son.
This year looks no Wifierent. Despite the
{055 of three key starters, Potsdam still is ex-
ected to be the class of the East.
Albany State, even without john
Dieckelman, might give Potsdam their
toughest challenge. They are predicted for
second place. The rest of the division is up
in the air. Cortland, coming off a strong

still looks tough

The 1983-84 Danes
A Basketball Preview
seins shorrnnet we bin
By MARK LEVINE
Sports Editor
It may well be known as The Year of the Guards,
When the 1983-84 version of the Albany State men’s basketball team takes
the floor for their opening game of the year Friday night against CCNY in the
first round of the Capital District Tournament, gone will be the services of two
of their key frontcourt players in recent years, But returning are two mature,
experienced guards, and a good deal of depth in the frontcourt that may pro-
vide more balance than in the past.
Center John Dieckelman and forward Mike Gatto were lost to graduation last
May. The two combined to average close to 28 points and 16 rebounds a game
last year. But while last year's strength was up front, the talk this year centers
around the guards, junior co-captain Dave Adam at shooting guard and junior
point guard Danny Croutier,
“ think the biggest plus we have,
Sauers, “is experience in our backcourt,”
Croutier enters his third year as a starter as a much more mature, confident
player than he was when he stepped in as an inexperienced freshman two
’ commented Albany Head Coach Dick
years ago.
‘Danny has gotten more under control each year that he’s played,”” Sauers
said, “He's more of a leader now than he was last year at this time, and | think
he knows that he has a big role out there,’’
The role Croutier has as a point guard has to do with setting the tempo of the
and controlling the Albany offense, Clearly, it is integral for Croutier to
have a big year if the Danes are going to improve on last year's 17-10 record.
Last year, we had more experience in the frontcourt,’’ Croutier noted,
This year, we have experience in the backcourt, | don't feel more pressur
think we're going to have more scoring in the backcourt, Qn the court, it's go-
ing to be me and Daye (Adam) setting the flow."
Croutier averaged 11,2 points per game last year, second only to
Dieckelman’s 17.1, His 144 assists (5.3 per game) easily led the team, and this
is one of Croutier’s best assets

The Women
By PERRY TISCHLER
Sports Writer
In 1981, the Albany State women's basketball team stumbled to a disappoin:
ting 7-12 record, In 1982, rookie coach Mari Warner led the Danes to a 14-6
record and a 10th place ranking in the state. It’s now 1983 and the new edition
of Coach Warner's squad looks better than ever.
This year's team features nine returning members and four newcomers.
However, the four newcomers must help replace the four starters from last
year’s team, The losses of forward Nancy Wunderlich, seniors Robin Gibson
and Rhea Edwards will be tough ones to overcome. Wunderlich led the Danes
in scoring (13ppg) and rebounding (6,2) last season, Gibson, although
hampered by injury, averaged 11.3 points per game and 4.4 rebounds per
game. Edwards was a catalyst on defense with her quickness
Leading the team this year are co-captains Peg Squazzo and Veronica Patter-
son, Squazzo is a 5’8” senior from Irvington who will be at forward. Patterson,
5/4" junior from Syracuse, averaged 7.5 points per game and 4.8 rebounds
per game in the 1982-83 season.
Joining Patterson in the backcourt will be starting point guard Wilhelmena
Lesane, Lesane, a 52" sophomore from the Bronx, averaged 10.5 points per
game in her freshman season. Coming off the bench to back up Lesane will be
Debra Logan, a 5'4’" sophomore, who in Coach Warner's words ‘has really
come a long way.’ Rounding out the quartet of hardwood quarterbacks is
Debra Pardew, a 5'5" sophomore from Manhattan
Banging down low this season with Squazzo will be sophomore forward
Diane Fernandes. The 5'7” Staten Island native averaged 5.5 points per game
and 2.9 rebounds per game last year, Also playing down low this season will be
5'7" junior Chris Cannata from Port Jefferson, 5'10'" freshman Kim Kosalel
from Tully, and 5'8" junior Meme Cappelletti of East Syracuse, Cappelletti is a
quick developer who can play both forward and guard. Other versatile per-
formers include Loren Coleman, a 5/8” Bronx freshman who can play both
guard and forward, a Jean Pollock, a 5'10'’ sophomore from Rouses Point who
plays forward and backup center, Freshman Barb Shipley will also come off the
bench to help the Dane cause.
Patrolling the middle will be veteran center Nancy Grasso. Grasso, a 5'11/"
junior from Yorktown, threw down 4.9 points per game while grabbing 2.9 re-
bounds per game in her sophomore campaign. “One of the keys this year will
be how aggressive our forwards and centers play," commented Warner.
Nancy (Grasso), Jean (Pollock), and Kim (Kosalek) will have to get tough
under there,”
The team as a whole is in top physical shape for the season. A conditioning
class that started in September has enabled Coach Warner and Assistant Coach
Patti Becker to work more on their actual game, This year's team will feature a
run-and-gun offense that will highlight quickness and a trapping defense
Coach Warner elaborates, “Our lack of height won't permit us to work inside
too much, We'll have to rely on our quickness. It will puta lot of ballhandling
pressure on our guards but | think they can handle it.’
This season the Great Danes will playing in the SUNYAC, a league of 11
teams with five in the eastern division, and six in the western division, Only the

in double figures consistently this year for the Danes to be successful.
“He's got to put up about 15 shots a game for us, realistically,”” Sauers em-
phasized, “Dave is our best outside shooter. | think he’s got a lot more con-
fidence in his shooting than when he started two years ago, and he should
have a good year.’’
“1 worked hard over the summer on my shooting, and now | have a lot more
confidence in it,” Adam said, “Last year there were a lot of times when the
guards got outplayed, and that was one main reason we lost games. | think
there are going to be very, very few games when our guards get outplayed this
ear."
yethe frontcourt is much more wide open as far as starting positions go, with
‘only one set starter and the other two positions up for grabs.
Senior co-captain Wilson Thomas enters his final year at power forward
Thomas has extraordinary leaping ability, and the Danes will rely on him to im:
prove on his 9.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game average of last year
“We need a consistent performance out of Wilson game after game,"' Sauers
stressed, "We need a consistent rebounding and a consistent scoring perfor
mance. | would like to see him contribute a lot more off the offensive boards
than he did last year. Diecke!man was by far our best offensive rebounder, and
1 don’t have that now.’’
The small forward position will be occupied by junior Jan Zadoorian, who
played shooting guard last year averaging 5.9 points and 3.4 rebounds per
game, and freshman Adam Ursprung, who has impressed Sauers in the
preseason and will battle Zadoorian for the starting slot
“One of the reasons he (Ursprung) will play is that he is a very good re
bounder,’’ said Sauers, “He's got a nose for the ball both on the offensive and
defensive boards. Being only a freshman he’s going to make some mistakes out
there that a freshman would make, But | think that we've got to ride with the
blows. We need him — he's only going to get better.’’
The postman replacing Dieckelman will be a big job for any one of three
players, all of whom seem to have an equal chance of earning the starting spot
and all of whom will see lots of playing time.
Junior Pete Gosule (2.9 ppg, 1.3 rpg last year) had an impressive show ing in
the Purple-White intrasquad scrimmage as he scored 14 points and pulled
down eight rebounds. It is his rebounding that concerns Savers,
“Mf Pete was a good, solid rebounder at both ends there would be no que
tion in my mind that he'd start, because he's got the court intelligence that we

fifth place team in the eastern division won't quality tor postseason compet
tion, In the postseason tournament, the number one team plays the fourth
place team in their division, the number two team plays the third team, and so
forth, (In the western division, one plays six, two plays five, and three plays
four.) The winners of both divisions:then play each other for the SUNYAC
Championship in late February.
The Danes have a 24 game schedule this year, the longest they have ever
had, “Our schedule is long and hard but I'm very happy with the new
SUNYAC Conference. It gives us a chance to play in postseason competition,’”
said Warner. Among the obstacles in the Dane path to the SUNYAC tourna:
ment ai some very improved teams,
“Oneonta, Plattsburgh, and Oswego are probably the toughest teams we
have to face. They are always good and have improved even more this year,
Warner said. Two more interesting games this season will be against RPI and
the College of Saint Rose. Last season, Albany defeated CSR 57-49 in a stunning

work inside too much. We'll have to rely
on our quickness. ”’

come-from-behind victory, and defeated RPI 58-53 in a close game. These two
wins gave the Danes their first Capital District Tournament Championship in
the four year history of the tournament. This year’s Capital district Tourney will
be on February 17 and 18 at Albany and the Danes will be shooting for back-to-
back championships. Other exciting tournaments include the Manhattanville
Tourney on December 3 and 4 and the SUNY Albany Tourney vs. St.
Michael's, Vassar, and Castleton. The Danes opened their season Friday night
against the’Capital District Cougars, a local AAU team,
The women’s basketball program Is under the guidance of third-year coach
Warner. After a disappointing rookie year as assistant coach, Coach Warner
piloted her team to an impressive 14-6 record and a 10th place finish in the
state, barely missing the playoffs, She seems very enthusiastic about this year's
team, “Overall we look very good, We haye a lot of depth with thirteen players
who can all contribute, We're going to need good ball movement from our
guards, tough rebounding from our frontcourt and a lot of aggressive defense.’
Part of the reason for Coach Warner's success is her ability to get things
—— eee
done. At the end of last season, she vowed to go out and recruit some height to
go with her quickness, “‘Barb (Shipley), Kim (Kosalek), and Loren (Coleman)
are going to have to contribute for a successful season.”’ These three freshmen
have an average height of 5’8’ with Kosalek at 5/10"
Coach Warner offers no predicitons of state championships but does env
sion a success{ul campaign: Last season, she had hoped to finish at .500 and
finished at .700. If her success rate continues, she could finish at .900, “Highly
doubtful, but we will be up there,” comments Warner.
It should be an exciting and successful season for Coach Warner and her
Great Danes.
need out there,’’ Sauers commented, “He handles the ball well; he’s very
good in our transition game,”
Junior Greg Hart (3.5 ppg, 2.7 rpg) also will play a key role at center and
power forward. Hart, known mostly for his defensive play and strength last
year, is becoming more of an offensive threat,
“His shooting and his offensive moves have improved a little each year that
he's been here, and he Is our best defensvie player,’’ Sauers sald of his 6'5"’ big
man. ‘He provides a lot of muscle, and we're just going to need him in there
for defensive rebounding a lot of times because he does get the boards,"’
Also competing for the center spot will be sophomore newcomer John
Mracek, a transfer from Union who traveled wtih the team last year but did not
sult up for the games, Mracek should also provide a lot of bulk, according to
Sauers.
“As far as strength goes he's the strongest guy we've got,’’ Sauers noted, “He
doesn't always rebound well despite his strength. What John Mracek’s strength
is is he’s a great outside shooter, You can't leave him alone out there,’”
Individually, none of the three will be able to dominate a game the way
Dieckelman did, But collectively, they should provide variation and depth and
must produce for the Danes in 1983-84
They all have different strengths, they've got to complement each other and
\'ve got to get them in there at the right time,” Sauers said.
Rounding out the roster will be three players Up from last year's junior varsity
squad whose coach, former Great Dane player Barry Cavanaugh, Is now
Sauers’ assistant,
“Last year there were a lot of times
when the guards got outplayed. I
think there are going to be very, very
few games when our guards get
outplayed this year.”’
—Dave Adam
Doug Kilmer, a backup guard, will fill a reserve role at both backcourt posi:
tions.
“Doug Kilmer is probably going to see a lot of time at both second guard and
point guard,’’ Sauers forecasted, “Doug is an excellent shooter, and | expect
him to fill the role the way Dave Adam did for a couple of years — generally
coming off the bench and playing at both of those positions, He's a good, in
telligent player. | think he'll help.’’
The other two players up from JV are jj Jones and Brian Kauppila,
“They're a lot better players right now than they were last year,’' Sauers
stated. “Early in the season they may not get a lot of playing time because as
the season develops, | expect them to work their way into a more playing time
role,
“One of the question marks last year with our bench was that if we got
behind and we had to use those people on the bench a lot, we really didn’t
come from behind well because they couldn't contribute any scoring, | think
that our bench is capable of contributing some points this year, That should be
a plus to us,
There are a good deal of positive things to expect from the Danes in 1983-84.
But for them to qualify for a postseason tournament there are a number of
questions that must be answered
Number 1: Gan Albany overcome an apparent lack of rebounding strengthe
“think the biggest question marks we have are going to be our rebounding.
and our inside play, As the season goes on we've got to prove ourselves,’’
Sauers emphasized, It would seem that a physical inside team could cause the
Danes some trouble.
Number 2; Can the Danes put together a good defensive year, a trademark of
Sauers’ teams in the past? “That's going to be a key to our season, too,” Sauers
said, “because | think defensively we've got to have a strong effort every game.
We might, in that regard, because of the size of our guards use a little more
zone this year than we have in the past. We have to try and make the best use
of the personnel we've gol. I'm concerned about that — | think we have to be a
better defensive team than we were last year to have as good a record.’
“A lot of what we do is going to have to do with our defense,’’ Croutier add
ed. “If the defense works, the offense will flow
Number 3: Can the Danes make up for the loss of Dieckelman, of whom
Sauers said last year, “I don’t know of any player that's ever graduated that
2
we're going to miss more
1 think that the people that are going to get all the playing time are aware of
the fact that they've got ta make a better contribution,” Sauers noted, “But |
think that as the practice season has gone on they've missed him less and less,
and they've realized what their role is going to be and the points are still going
to be there, But he’s not there — what are you going to do about it? We miss
him not only because of his scoring and rebounding, but because of his leader-
ship, too, and that’s why I said that last year, They've all got to assume more of
that (leadership) too, which they're doing.
Number 4: Can the Danes learn to run more now that Dieckelman is gone,
thus abandoning somehwat their deliberate offense? “(We're going to try and
Tun more this year,’ Sauers stated, “We're trying to work on our transition
Bame both offensively and defensively. I didn't think we were a good transition
ome *
-
team last year. We're trying to improve that phase of our game in both direc:
tions — we've worked hard at that in the preseason,’
The running game seems to suit some of the players just fine. “1 think it will
definitely help my game,”’ Croutier said, “| also think it will help everybody
else on the team — somebody like Wilson likes to run more.
Thomas agreed, “The team’s going to run a lot more,’ Thomas noted, “That
suits my style, | like that,”
The schedule once again shows some very stiff competition. In addition to
playing Potsdam twice and Union possibly twice (the two teams could face
each other in the Capital District Tournament in addition to thier regular
season meeting on January 11), the Danes will face Hartwick and Ithaca,
‘That's six games right there against NCAA teams,’’ Sauers sald, In addition the
Danes must face Hamilton, to whom Albany has lost the past two years and
who would be an NCAA contender were it not for their school's policy pro-
hibiting them from NCAA play. Add to that list the Christmas tournament
featuring John Jay, last year's regular season CUNY Champion; Buffalo State,
who defeated Albany in the SUNYAGS last year; and Clark University, who is
last year's NCAA New England Regional Champion, “That's seven games
against the potential best teams in the east,’ Sauers summarized,
One plus on the scheduling side is there will be 13 home games at University
Gym, where the Danes went 10-1 last year with their only loss coming at the
hands of Scranton, who went on to win the Division Ii! National Champion:
ship
Another asset the Danes possess is in the coaching department, where
Sauers’ 465 wins in his 28 years at Albany rank him 15th among the nation’s ac
live collegiate coaches. His next losing season will be his first
Sauers summed up his thought for the upcoming season this way. “General-
ly, we're a very good team when we get control of a game. We're not going to
get control of every game, and how well we play in that type of situation is go-
ing to dictate a lot for us,
"| really dont’ make long-range predicitons, | think that we're capable of be-
ing as good as we were last year, which means that we're capable of being a
contender for a postseason tournament.”” i
Which tournament? Well, it's too early to say. Right now, it’s just a well
guard-ed secret,

By MARK WILGARD
Sports Writer
The competition will be intense in the
Eastern Division of the SUNYAC for the up-
coming 1983-84 campaign. Albany, Platt-
sburgh, Oneonta, Potsdam, and Binghamton
will battle each other for the top spot In the
first-ever Women’s basketball SUNYAC Con-
ference,
‘Albany Head Coach Mari Warner will at-
tempt to lead her young team to another
dazzling season. Last year, the Danes open-
ed the eyes of many with an Impressive 14-6
record,
Oneonta and Plattsburgh appear to be
stronger than last year, as they have many
topnotch, players retuming. Potdam and
Binghamton will also provide keen competi-
tion,
The general feeling of the SUNYAC
coaches is that the conference will feature
tight, close play and plenty of exciting action.
Indeed, anything is possible for the Inaugural
season of the women’s SUNYAC Con:
ference,
Here are capsule summaries of the teams
in the Eastern Division of the SUNYAC:
PLATTSBURGH
The Cardinals, off of a very impressive
14-7 season, appear to be the class of the
division, They have only one freshman on
the squad, plus all of last year’s front-line
players are returning,
Key Returning Lettermen: The two highest
scorers on the team last season are back
Anne Slattery and Maureen Mckendon (15
and 12 points a game average, respectively)
lead the Cardinals, Sheila Higgins, Cathy
Clark, Kathy Hanlin, and Tracy Burris help
Platisburgh form a very solid team,
Key Losses: None, As a matter of fact, the
Cardinals bolstered up the areas they were
weak in last year,
Strengths: “We're fast, and we have good
bench strength,’ remarked Head Coach
Phoebe Strum upon assessing her team. "We
have only one freshman; the other players
are either transfers or have had prior ex
perience playing basketball”
Weaknesses: Coach Strum feels that re-
bounding might be a problem due to a lack
of height, But she says, “if we execute the
fundamentals, this won't be a problem,"
Expectations: The Cardinals are a better
Broup talent-wise than last year's team, but
Sirum notes, “It's too early to tell how the
team will do, You have to wait to see how
the team will do, You have to wait to see
how they, jell on the floor, Potential doesn’t
mean anything until you go out and
execute,” The Cardinals should be able to
better their 14-7 re ord of last season
Versus Albany: Plattsburgh beat the Danes
by two points last year, and Strum anticipates

Key Returning Lettermen: With 4
players back from last year’s team, the Da
will have the experience needed to win.

developed an outside shot to go with
outstanding ability to drive to the hoop.

Strengths: Albany's running game will be
the focal point of thelr offense, Because of
the tremendous depth of the squad, they can
play a run and shoot type of game
Danes also have three big women: Nancy
Grasso at 5°11
Pollock at 5'10
Of them in the game most of the time to have
extra rebounding strength in the lineup.
Weaknesses: Rebounding might be a pro
blem even with the big three women in the
starting five: Most of the other teams in the
SUNYAC have six-footers on their rosters
giving them a decisive advantage over the
Dane women,
Expectations: Warner says she Is en
thusiastic about the season, and points out
that “We can’t take any team lightly. We
have to take things step by step, and one
game at a time. | don’t know what our
record will he, but it will be a good year.
Prediction: Second
ONEONTA

her team will improve upon last season's

Kim Kosalek and Jean

in East
five all returning, the Red Dragons pose a
serious threat to the SUNYAC East title.
Key Returning Lettermen: Senior co-
captain Karen Haag returns, along with two
other key starters, forward Carol Condolff
and center Lori Chamberlain, Haag set the
school record for assists last season, while
Condolff and Chamberlain led the Red
Dragons in team scoring. The key nucleus is
returning.
Key Losses: None
Strengths: Oneonta possesses depth and
height, with several strong people at each
position.
Weaknesses: Blodgett feels it will be some
time before the new players get poised and
ready to play. She notes that '‘The transition
from high school to college Is a difficult
one.”
Expectations: The Red Dragons made the
New York State Division {Ii Tournament last
year, but lost to Hartwick and Oswego, They
also bowed out early in the ECAC. But Coach
Blodgett notes “That was the first time we
had our foot in the door; this year we hope to
go a little further, The competition will be
much keener with the SUNYAC
tournament.’’
Versus Albany: The Danes haven't met the
Red Dragons in seven years, but a fine
match-up should be anticipated when the
two teams square off on November 29,
Prediction: Third
POTSDAM
The Bears will be hard-pressed to finish at
500 this year with the loss of four starters
Head Coach Jan Reetz faces a rebuilding
year with her relatively inexperienced team
Key Returning Lettermen: Shelly Davison
and Phyllis Fleishman will have to lead the
Bears this year. Missy Serrao, Tracy, Fuber,
The and Peggle Chmura will be the other three
starters for Potsdam,
Key Losses: Four starjers are gone, and this
bounding and bench strength
Strengths and Weaknesses: The Bears are
more or less a homogeneous group, and rely
on quickness and aggressiveness, They don't
possess a single standout and don’t have
much in the way of size.
Expectations: Last year, Potsdam was
11:9, but this season Coach Retz is shooting
for a .500 campaign. Reetz really doesn't
know how this ‘83-’84 season will turn out
because the Bears have never played most of
the SUNYAC competitors before
Versus Albany: The Danes topped the
Bears 61-56 last year with a game-ending ral
ly. Reetz Is looking forward to another tight
game.
Prediction:

Inoted Pritchard, “Her quickness results in opposing

frustration out there.’
Lesane, who prefers to be called Rainy, wasn't even
recruited by Warner. She played her high school ball at
Morris H.S. in the Bronx, but really developed her fast-

you have to prove that you belong out there, If you don't
play well, then you don't play at all, I's also much more
physical; the guys aren’t afraid of giving you an elbow or
two,"”
Playing at the playgrounds gives Lesane the freedom to
try things that she normally woudn’t do in college, “You
don't have to worry about making a mistake,’ said Lesane,
‘J might make more moves or take some crazy shots. One

Quiet Riot
To the Editor:
We would like to take issue with several points mace in

admit we thoroughly enjoyed reading the article.
We thought the Quiet Riot concert was very good, but
even if we didn't, we feel Aspects has done students and
Quiet Riot great disservice by sending out an unprepared
eviewer who then devoted a large portion of his article to.

that he doesn't even know the names of their songs. Also,
the audience, as the article said, did consist of some young

was wasted,
Some of the talk by the lead singer was slightly adoles-

Position losses
To the Edito
We noted with interest the story on the proposed SUNY.
budget in the October 11 issue of the ASP, While the
icle appeared to reflect accurately what was
preliminary analysis, the headline was quite
misleading
The headline stated that “SUNY budget proposes cut of
1,100 positions." In fact, the budget does not propose
these position eliminations. Rather, it recognizes the fact
that SUNY’s current budget(for 1983-84) requires us to do
so this year, Even more important, itis correct that for next
year We are requesting that 319 of these positions be
restored
SUNY's facuilty and staff position losses over recent
years have been quite severe, The effects are fell not only in
academic programs, but also in such essential areas as stus
dent services and building maintenance. We hope in our
ext budget to correct some of the imbalance.

Graduate view

But with a team consisting of on-

rest underclassmen, Averill noted
that the club won't be as com-

Spikers fifth at States; still receive NCAA bid
Tom Kacandes
SPORTS EDITOR
Mild-mannered consistency is one thing,
and performing when it counts is something
ise as the young Albany State women's
volleyball team learned last weekend at the
State champlonships held in Binghamton last
weekend,
The Danes seriously jeopardized their
chances of receiving a bid to the NCAA
Championships when they finished fifth at
States, Albany lost (0 Brockport State, 8-15,
15-8, 12-15, in the pool competition and were
later defeated by Bropklyn College in the
quarterfinals, 14-16, 2-15. Albany had been
seeded second,
Interestingly enough, despite their two
losses, Albany received an invitation to the
NCAA tournament on Sunday afternoon,
according to Head Coach Patrick Dwyer.
“The States were very strong this year,”” he
noted, The teams that beat Albany,
Brockport, and Brooklyn, went on to do well
finishing second and third respectively, In ad-
dititon, Brockport’s games against tourncy:
winner Ithaca College were both decided by
the mandatory two-point differential, 15-13,
and 1614, “The whole thing was very
close," Dwyer said, No doubt that fact
helped Albany's cause at the NCAA selection
committee meeting.
Albany began {ts pool play by defeating
Hunter College, 15-9, 15-7, After that, the
Danes got their first taste of trouble.
Brockport hit the court ready to play and led
the Danes through three games, 8-15, 15:8,
12.15 Albany recovered enough (o put Platt
sburgh State away in two games, 15-11, 15-6,
The Danes then advanced to the quarter-
finals. Albany was ahead all of the first
game, but Brooklyn came back to take it by
(wo, 16-14, After that, Albany folded under
the pressure, losing by a score of 15-2 in a
game marked by bad passing and ques-
ionable decisions by the referees, Said
Dwyer, “Only a few of our players had been
to the States before, but we never collapsed
like that all season, It was the Pressure,'”
One bright spot in the Danes’ dark day was
the selection of senior Liz Rosentel to the
tournament’s all-star team, Many times, if'a
team does not do particularly well, individual
Standouts do not get enough exposure to be
selected 10 an all-star team, however,
Rosentel, who was an all-star player in
several tournaments this year, was sufficient=
ly well known to be chosen anyway, Said
Dwyer, "We had other players who had a
shot at it, but they didn't get seen because the
selection committee didn’t start looking until
the semifinals,"
With the State tourney over and done with,
Albany can now look forward to the
NCAAs, The Danes travel to play Brockport
State again at Brockport next weekend, If
they can win there, then they advance to play
Ithaca, now ranked among the top eight in
the nation, Quarterfinal matches will be held
at MIT and the NCAA finals will be held in
Los Angeles,
The question now is, “how far can they
402"" Hopefully, the Danes will bounce back
from Saturday's disappointments (0 regain
their composure and beat Brockport and
Ithaca, Coach Dwyer commented, “Of the
top four teams, MIT is the most vulnerable,
50 We have the best possible avenue to the

Students increasing caution in college choices
By Christine Reffelt
STAN! MALIER
Prospective students are shopping around
for colleges and waiting until much later in
the year before making their final chotces, ac
cording to Rodney Hart, the director of
missions at SUNYA
The students are taking more time, said
Hart, because they want to get the most for
their money. “Recently, we've noticed that
students are submitting reservation deposits
{6 more than one school, attending summer
orientations, and then making a decision.
Students used to apply early and make their
choice by May, stated Hart,
“but_now they apply in NewS
january,” he added
‘According 1 Hart, the Feature
key factor in this trend is
that most colleges only require a $50 deposit.
He said he sees this figure as a problem. “Fit
ty dollars is not enough," he noted, “because
it doesn't discourage students from sending
$50 deposits 10 several schools." This leads
fo no-shows, added Hart,
dollars is not a lot to lose when you're talking
about spending $20,000 for an education,
he said,
This year, *'a high number"? of students
did not show up, Hart said. Out of 2,400
students who were accepted, 108 never came
{o summer orientation, and another 72:did go
to orientation but never attended classes.
“This is also problem," said Hart,
“because we are not aware of no-shows until
it is too late to tell wait-listed students they've
been accepted. It's a little ridicous 10 tell a

Marci Levin, a prospective student visiting
Albany, said she planned to leave more than
‘one deposit on a school. “1 need to know
