Danes have no luck

Oneonta, elections dominate Student Assembly

By Allison Krampf
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

The State University of New
York’s Student Assembly
planned for the upcoming year
and discussed the recent turn of
events at Oneonta in their first
meeting of the year last Saturday
in SUNYA’s Recreation and

Convocation Center.
Although many topics were

covered by the Assembly
Delegates, the main issue or the
agenda was the recent incident at
SUNY Oneonta. Two weeks ago
a SUNY administrator at
Oneonta, released a list of all
black males on campus to State
Police after a local woman
teported a physical assault,
SUNY Chancellor, Dr. Bruce
Johnstone, apologized Saturday
and said, “Nothing I can say will
erase the anger and hurt of the
students. Vice President
Hartmark has been suspended.”
“No one is denying the incident
was wrong. The request never
should have been made,”

Johnstone added.

Johnstone told the Assembly
he had spoken with other
campus presidents to reevaluate
the policy and “make sure this
never happens again.”

Johnstone believes the
incident was isolated, but
couldn’t guarantee other similar
instances wouldn’t occur on
other campuses. “It is necessary
to reinforce protocols with state
police so future incidents will be
avoided,” Johnstone said, and he
also requested sensitivity
training to “tighten this
university.”

A member of Oneonta’s Third
World Association said, “The
administration doesn’t
understand the humiliation and
anxiety of the students. Students
feel their concerns aren’t being
addressed, and the
administration is supporting a
meager punishment.”

Oneonta student and member
of the Third World Alliance, Ali
Dottin, said, “The meeting was

productive and positive,” but
said she wasn’t at liberty to
release any information
concerning the meeting.

Other students were not as
positive. SUNYA Student
Association President Diego
Munoz said, “The Chancellor
was late to respond to the
incident, but tried to be
accommodating by meeting with
Oneonta students. His statement
was very politically selective,
but the Chancellor is not
listening to concerns of all
SUNY students.”

Student Assembly also elected
its officials for the ‘92-’93
academic year. The Student
Assembly Presidential election
resulted in a tie between
SUNYA student Beth Falvo and
Samuel Redford of Erie
Community College after a late
nomination of both Redford and
SUNYA Student Association
Educational Affairs Coordinator
M. Kazim Ali. Ali declined the
nomination, and a second ballot

resulted in Falvo
becoming
president, while
Redford was
elected vice
president. Marco
Ashley from
Co. eens.
Community
College was elected
Secretary/Treasurer
and SUNYA
tentatively placed
three people on the
executive
committee.
According to Falvo,
both the Student
Association of State
University and
Student Assembly
provides an
“opportunity for
Students to unite
and empower
themselves.” She
believes the two can “coexist
and work together.”

High Court ruling may alter SUNYA

By Pam Resnick
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The recent Supreme Court
decision concerning freedom of
expression on college campuses
will force SUNYA to slightly
modify its conduct codes, said
Mitchel Livingston, vice
president for student affairs.

The Court’s decision, handed
down this past June, declared the
Bias-Motivated Crime
Ordinance, a violation which is
charged as a misdemeanor, in St.
Paul Minnesota as invalid. The
ordinance prohibits behavior
which would “arouse anger,
alarm or resentment... on the
basis of race, color, creed,
religion or gender...” The
ordinance was said to be a
“limiting statement” by the
Supreme Court.

Mark Goodman, director of
the Student Press Law Center
said, “The issue here was that
the ordinance punished people
for expressing particular
viewpoints that people were
expressing concerning race,
gender...”

Several St. Paul teenagers
were charged with this violation
when they allegedly burned a
cross in the front yard of a black
family’s home on June 21, 1990.
The Supreme Court’s

involvement began when the
validity of the charges was put
under question.

The Court chose to dismiss the
counts charged, stating that the
ordinance violated an
individual’s First Amendment
rights.

This decision has affected
many college campuses across
the country. “Many colleges and
universities will probably drop
those codes or find themselves
in court,” Goodman said.

The conduct codes written for
the University at Albany are
contained in a booklet called
“Community Rights and
Responsibilities.” Due to the
decision of the Supreme Court,
these codes will undergo
changes by a judicial officer and
will be reviewed by the
University Council, said
Livingston.

“We need to review our codes
of conduct as it relates to any
tules of prohibited conduct that
this new legislation addresses,”
Livingston said.

SUNYA does not have what
most colleges would call “hate
speech codes.” “This University
chose not to develop hate speech
codes,” Livingston said,
“Instead, we have developed a
set of ‘positive principles’ which

most people can support.”

Livingston is very confident in
the expected effectiveness of
these “positive principles.” “Not
only have we drafted a set of
principles, but we will disprove
the necessity for having hate
speech codes.”

Livingston says the only part
of the rules of conduct that
needs adjustment is contained in
the section on harassment. This
section currently states,
“,..engaging in verbal or
physical behavior directed at an
individual that... is likely to
provoke an immediate violent
response or victimizes... on the
basis of race, ethnicity, gender,
religion...” is a violation of the
conduct codes.

In addressing the “possible
inherent conflicts” between the
First and Fourteenth
Amendments, Livingston said,
“Free expression comes up
against equal protection under
the law.” The administration will
try to develop a “mechanism for
providing [protection].”

When asked if he felt SUNYA
had achieved this balance
between the amendments,
Livingston said, “Yes, it is living
with the law that is the

Treaty approved

Paris, France
(AP)French voters narrowly approved a
treaty aimed at turning Western Europe
into a political and economic superpower,
according to unofficial TV projections of
a bitterly debated referendum.

Each of the two main television
channels released projections minutes
after polls closed at 8 p.m. France 2
estimated the outcome at 51 percent to 49
percent in favor of the so called
Maastricht treaty while TF1 projected the
result as 51.5 to 48.5.

The first partial official results,
reflecting about 20 percent of the vote,
showed the “no” camp ahead, 52 percent
to 48 percent. But analysts said these
results were only from rural areas, where
many farmers fought the treaty.

The projections prompted victory
declarations from leaders of the pro-treaty
campaign.

“It’s a victory for Europe,” said
Education and Culture Minister Jack Lang

"It’s a pseudo-success- a mediocre
yes,” said far-right leader Jean-marie Le
Pen, who opposed the treaty.

While narrow approval would keep
alive the European Community’s hopes
for a closer political and economic union,
the weak public support could still cast
doubt on the blueprint to carry the EC into
the next century.

Somalia threatens

Mogadishu, Somalia
(AP)Beyond the calamity at hand,
Somalia offers a nightmaare scenario for
other African states built upon tribal
balances that might suddenly and
explosively collapse.

On a continent of ethnic free-for-all,
Somalia was always considered a lucky
exception, a nation of closely related
tribes that spoke more or less the same
language.

But Mohammed Siad Barre rose to
absolute power by a popular African
tactic, refined fromf the days when small
groups of Europeans subdued whole
African regions: Divide and conquer.

Siad Barre created an elite of his Dared
tribe against the more numerous Hawiye.
He kept power by carefully parcelling out
privilege.

In 1988, however, he began to flounder,
and military commanders among the
Hawiye began to notice that the emperor,
in fact, wore no clothes. They rose up
late in 1990 and within months he fell.

That, African strategists say, could
happen in Zaire, perhaps even Kenya,

-PREVIEW OF EVENTS

among other African states. And if
Somalia is a guide, the process could be
unexpectedly brutal.

“Somalia is very serious lesson for the
rest of Africa,” said Mohamed Sahnoun; a
tough but smooth Algerian diplomat who
represents U.N. Secretary-General
Boutros Boutros-Ghali in Somalia.

Sahnoun , like other specialists in
African turmoil, argues that the only way
to combat political meltdown and the
human misery it entails is not to let it
happen in the first place.

Union offer rejected

Indianapolis
(AP) General Motors Corp. has rejected
an offer by a United Auto Workers local
for more labor-management cooperation
if the company drops plans to sell its
Allison Gas Turbine division.

GM Vice President Lloyd Reuss, who
visited the aircraft engine manufacturer
last week, told a local union leader the
automaker still wants to sell Allison to

business.

“ We expressed a willingness to expand
and accelerate the principles negotiated

workers.

“We explained that the local union
wanted to become a partner in this
business,” Newton wrote.

Local 933 is hopeful GM may keep
Allison. But GM officials told New
ton the division’s expenditures are
projected to exceed sales revenue by 4
percent this year and 12 percent in 1993,
resulting in millions of dollars in losses.

GM spokesman Charles C. Lacari
would not confirm or comment on profit
projections and said GM intends to sell
the division “ whole and intact.”

Vitamins disproved

New York
‘AP) The city’s top consumer watchdog
accused four vitamin makers Sunday of
marketing products with “ preposterous
claims” that they can block the AIDS
virus, enhance male virility, bolster brain
function and encourage hair growth.

“Tf these company claims were true
we'd be witnessing miracles,” said
Consumer Affairs Commissioner Mark
Green, calling the advertising clean-cut
examples of consumer fraud. “Instead of
going to Lourdes, we’re going to court.”

Green, in a sidewalk news conference
outside an East Side vitamin store, said
his department had served violation
notices on the four companies for
advertising that cruelly deceives people”
and will be asked to sign agreements to
end the deceptive advertising, Green said.

They included Alacer Corp., of Irvine,
Calif., for its E-merger-C, a multi-vitamin
and mineral drink. Green said the
package claims the HIV virus, which
causes AIDS, “can be successfully
inhibited in its action with approximately
12-grams of vitamin C daily.”

That claim falsely suggests the product
can inhibit the virus, although its
recommended daily portion of vitamin C
is “far below the amount claimed to be
needed for the alleged benefit, “ Green
said.

Dean Kim returns, defends SUNYA's record

By Alan Talusan
STAFF WRITER

One of SUNY Albany’s most popular
teachers/administrators has returned for
yet another stint as Dean of
Undergraduate Studies after teaching in
Korea last year.

This fall, Sun Bok Kim returned to the
post he left a year ago when he accepted a
Fulbright fellowship to teach American
History at Seoul National University. He;
replaces his successor Dean Ernest
Scatton.

At a Korean Students Association
meeting last week, Kim pledged his
support to the growing number of Korean
students at SUNYA.

“T’ll try to help you out through as
many of the tough life lessons as I can,”
Kim said to the crowd, which at one point
numbered 50, “I don’t want you to
become like me, so caught up in what
you’re doing that you can only re-
experience the Korean culture in your in
your waning years.”

Kim, a 1956 graduate of Seoul National
University, (the last time he was in Korea
prior to 1991,) said his one-year stay in
Korea was satisfying , allowing him to
absorb a culture once lost him.

The new-old-new dean reflected on
some of the changes he sees the

University has undergone in his absence.
He also had a few choice words about an
editorial written in the ASP (9/15) which
questioned SUNYA President H.Patrick
Swygert’s priorities.

According to Kim, the writer of the
editorial was “too quick to condemn” and
was unfair to Swygert, who he said is
‘deeply concerned with the students’
welfare.”

“The report was very harsh,” Kim said.
“The President deserves better. The
school has lots of problems and it serves
no purpose to attack the president who is
trying his best to oversee the welfare all
of the students.”

Kim criticized the editorial for “making
it sound like it’s us versus you, the
students as if we were opposed to each
other. What the hell is that? We're all in

SUNYA Dean of Undergraduate Studies Sun Bok Kim, recently returned from Korean
professorship.

the same boat, wanting everyone to have
the best of both worlds.”

Switching gears, Kim moved toward
lighter topics, noting that the “ambiance
of the school is more upbeat,” adding,
“the school looks more beautiful and
neat.” Kim said he has particularly
noticed improvements in the bathrooms.
and the refurbishing of LC18 and 5.

The dean also noticed another
significant change. “There is more
concern for students’ safety, particularly
women,” Kim said. “Apart from that,
things look in good shape.”

Describing the budget cuts SUNYA has
been hit with, Kim said, “We’re sort of
squeaking by.” There is the understanding
we have a serious money shortage and
fight now we are trying to do more with
less money,” he said. “There is always
concern with the budget cuts and its
adverse repercussions, we are doing our
best.”

Kim welcomed everyone to visit his
office and voice their concerns directly to
him.

Prior to leaving in 1991 for Korea on
his Fulbright fellowship-an exchange
program enabling U.S. professors to teach
abroad, Kim, an American history
professor, held his post as Dean of
Undergraduate Studies from 1987-1991.

SUNYA bans fraternity implicated in rape investigation

By Tom Murnane
SENIOR EDITOR

Kappa Sigma Alpha, the
fraternity temporarily suspended
last Spring for failing to
cooperate with the University’s
investigation of an alleged gang
rape, has been banned through
May 1996.

Representatives of the
fraternity received a letter in late
July from Vice President for
Student Affairs Mitchel
Livingston notifying them of the
decision. Livingston’s letter
cited “a pattern of disruptive
conduct “over a five-year period
as the basis for the rescinding of
KZA’s recognition,

Despite last-ditch efforts by
fraternity representatives to save
their organization which
included a proposal of a number
of self-regulatory interventions,
Livingston rejected their offer,
saying “This action was
expected over a year ago.”

As a result, KZA has been
barred from SUNYA through
May 31,1996, and must follow a
series of guidelines during this
four year period. The guidelines
state the fraternity cannot:
function on this campus; enroll
members from the undergraduate
student body’ through rush
activities; identify their chapter
with the University; be allowed
to have its current membership
reconstituted under another
name as a recognized student
organization at SUNYA;
Participate in the Interfraternity
Council; publicly display the
Greek letter representing Kappa
Sigma Alpha on clothing,
signage, or the like.

KXA President Dan Wayland
has unavailable for comment this
week, but shortly after he
received word of Livingston’s
decision, he challenged the
University’s version of the facts.

Five Quad gears

By Luke Mangal

Five Quad University
Ambulance Service begins. the
fall semester with the arrival of a
new ambulance. This 1992 Ford
replaced a seven-year-old
ambulance which suffered body
damage in an accident last year.

Five Quad now operates two
ambulances, said Vice President
David Jackson. If one ambulance
is inactive due to mechanical
difficulties, the other is ready to
go. According to Five Quad
Safety officer John Lewis, a
typical ambulance has an
expected lifetime of 6 years.
There is little time to warm up
the vehicles; they are always in a
start and go situation, said
Jackson.

In the past, there have been
mechanical problems with 5
Quad ambulances. “A faulty fuse

in the space heater caused a fire
in an unoccupied ambulance, and
a fire in the exhaust system [a
Ford design fault] caused a fire
in another ambulance,” said
Jackson. These mishaps occurred
several years ago; since then
repairs and replacements have
been made.

According to Jackson, Five
Quad averages 3 calls a day, 600
per academic year.
Approximately one-third of
which are generally musculo-
skeletal related; a second third
are alcohol related. “Because
they’re alcohol related doesn’t
mean that the person is merely
drunk - it could mean there are
various complications of
respiratory or cardiac arrest,”
Jackson said. The other third of
calls range from medical
emergencies, standbys in athletic

Times Union he felt his
fraternity had been “railroaded”
because the University needed a
scapegoat. He added he felt his
group had cooperated with the
University’s investigation.

Last Spring, KZA’s
recognition has temporarily
suspended by the University
pending the outcome of the
University’s investigation of an
alleged fraternity-related gang
rape. the investigation was
inconclusive, because the
alleged victim never came
forward to file an official
complaint with the police nor
did she officially name any of
her alleged attackers.

Reports of a gang rape and
several other sexual assaults
raked the campus last Spring
shortly before Easter break in
April. Hundreds of posters and
grafitti scrawled all over the
campus appeared early one
morning, anonymously accusing

ith
events, motor vehicle accidents,
psychological related
emergencies to drug and
substance emergencies.

Recently, Five Quad’s Interest
Meeting gathered an abundance
of eager students interested in
volunteering their time and
effort. Approximately one-third
of the 90 were selected for
training. Jackson estimated, 30%
of those selected will usually
remain involved for the duration
of their college careers; 50% of
those selected will be involved
for 2 years.

“Five Quad University
Ambulance Service covers
SUNYA campuses, a 5 mile
radius of students, staff, faculty,
their families, mutually with the
aid of the town of Guilderland
and the city of Albany,” Jackson
said.

a fraternity of being involved
with the rape of a SUNYA
sorority woman.

Some critics have claimed the
University was slow to respond
to the furor which followed.
Administration officials cited a
confusion over a report of a rape
in the Colonial Quad parking
over a report of a rape in the
Colonial Quad parking lot and
the report by .the sorority
woman’s family that she had
withdrawn March 30 because
she had allegedly been gang-
raped.

The University apparently
contradicted itself several times
as it struggled to regain control
of the situation, at first saying it
could not officially investigate
the allegations without a
“primary source contact,” then,
saying it would investigate any
allegations whether an official
report had been filed.

the fraternity alleged to have

been involved in the gang-rape
at first denied any knowledge of
why they would have been
anonymously accused of being
involved with the rape. then, in
late April, one of the fraternity
members broke his silence.

Three men standing near an
anti-rape rally in front of the
Campus Canter, one man
expressed dismay over the
accusations. Then one
exclaimed, “That's not the way it
happened,” the unidentified
speaker was told to not comment
by his companions, and then left
with his companions.

Shortly after, the University
announced it had opened an
official investigation of the
allegations.

No further information has
been released by the University
about the investigation, and
there is no word on the current
condition of the woman.

new ambulance

Funding for the ambulance
service is predominantly from
volunteer contributions solicited
on tuition bills. This year,
Jackson estimates revenue to be
$32,000. The new ambulance

cost approximately $50,000. The
funding for it came from
donations by UAS, the
President’s office, students and
former members. The ambulance
will be christened on October 2.

Poniatowska speaks

By Rochelle Keum Yun Lee
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Renowned Mexican writer and
journalist Elena Poniatowska kicked off
the New York State Writers Institute’s
Visiting Writers Series with her
discussion of popular art in the University
Art Museum last Thursday in PAC.

Poniatowska said, “Popular art does not
require teaching by academia. Some have
said it is marked with “ingenuity, naivety,
and spontaneity.” She began with a series
of questions concerning boundaries that
define popular art, including, “What
perplexes the line between minor art and
great art?”

Elena Poniatowska is the proud mother
of three. Her presentation was in
conjunction with the University Art
Museum’s exhibit, “Living Traditions:
Mexican Popular Arts.” She is the author
of the novels Dear Diego and Until We
Meet Again.

Her commentary centered around the
people and cultures that produce popular
art in Latin America. According to
Poniatowska, popular art comes from
“poverty” and “calloused hands.” Her
audience reacted with bursts of laughter
when she said, “All poor countries have
artisans. All rich countries have coca-
cola. Popular art is planted as part of our
roots. The damned, the Earth’s
condemned, are the artisans of the world.”
She added, “...straw of bond remains
human buried in the earth.”

Poniatowska’s slide presentation dealt
with traditional and alternative mediums
of art. The significance of the
ornamentation and the embroidery of
everyday objects were brought out.

Americans such as the Yucatan used to be
adorned with featherwork, said
Poniatowska. “After the conquest, the art
of featherwork had disappeared.” It can
still be seen in the Condreros, indigenous
dancers among the people, added
Poniatowska.

“Indians not only influenced the mother
country, Spain, but the new state,”
Poniatowska commented. The pottery of
Mexico shows the face,”contorted, much
more convincing than elegant European”
faces, she said, comparing the styles of
the New World and the Old World.

The speech touched on costumes,
games, crafts, love and sex, and all
aspects of life of the artisan and his
community, including death.

In Mexico, the love, or respect for
death, is prevalent. The first two days of
November are national holidays in honor
of it. “Death and dying was the greatest
honor a man could hope for. Efforts on
Earth are in vain. Ashes and dust... do not
have to last on Earth,” Poniatowska said.

“Tt was just to give you an idea of what
Mexico... Really. It was to find myself,”
she concluded.

Novelist and short story writer Philip
Roth will hold an informal seminar for
Students, writers and the general public
today at 4 p.m. in Humanities 354.
Tonight at 8 p.m. in Page Hall on the
SUNYA downtown campus, Roth will
give a benefit reading. He is the winner of
the National Book Critics’ Circle Award
for Patrimony: A True Story. All
programs are free and open to the public.

CBS comes to Albany

The CBS college tour came to
SUNYA last Thursday and Friday
bringing movie previews, free throw
contestants, an obstacle course and
various comedy and geography
trivia contests to the uptown
campus. Dozens of students turned
out to challenge the network.

Democratic women dominate California Senate races

Sacramento, California
(AP) Democrats Barbara Boxer
and Diane Feinstein hold
commanding leads in their bids
to make California the first state
to elect women to both its Senate
seats, with the dismal economy
the campaign’s biggest factor.

Recent polls show Boxer and
Feinstein leading their
opponents by around 20 points.
One survey indicated that a third
of Republican women to vote
Democratic in November.

A recent survey by the Los
Angeles Times said that 61
persent of respondents believe
the nation is in a serious
recession. Those voters favored
Democrats over Republicans by
a 2-1 margin.

In California, unemployment
hit 9.8 percent in August and
about 500,000 people have lost
their jobs in the defense industry.
Overall, an estimated 1.5 million
Californians are out of work.

This year also marked the first
time that the number of people
leaving the state outpace dthose
moving to California.

Boxer, who boasts one of the
most liberal voting records in
Congress, is pitted against Bruce
Herchensohn, a television
commentator, former White
House aide to Richard Nixon
and member of the most
conservative faction of the
California GOP.

The winner will succeed
Democratic incumbent Alan
Cranston, who is suffering from
cancer and was politically
weakened by the savings and
Joan scandal. he is retiring after
24 years in the Senate.

Feinstein, the former San
Francisco mayor who was
narrowly defeated by Pete
Wilson in 1990 for the state’s
governorship, faces Republican
Senator John Seymour, a former
mayor of Anaheim and state

senator who was appointed by
Wilson to fill the Senate he had
vacated.

The race is for a two-year
term, what is left of the term
‘Wilson left.

Even though Seymour has
occupied his Senate seat for
nearly two years, he still is not
well known to voters. The Times
poll said that 51 persent didn’t
know enough about hin to give
even a generally favorable or
unfavorable rating.

The survey was done with less
than two months remaining
before the election.

Feinstein is the best known

and most favorably rated of the
four Senate candidates.

The central plank of
Herchensohn’s economic
platform is a flat-rate income tax
and the abolition of taxes on
interest, dividends and capitla
gains, coupled with the repeal of
all deductions, including home
mortgage and medical
deductions.

Boxer said the proposal is
going to help the millionaires
adn hurt everyone else.”

"Because the Cold War is
over, we can reorder our
priorities and still have the
strongest military in the world,”
Boxer said in her first debate

with Herchensohn earlier this
month. “It’s time to bring the
money home.”

Herchensohn replied that
Boxer has “always been against
a strong defense,” and said that
if Boxer “had gotten her way, ‘I
believe the Soviet Union would
still be the Soviet Union today.”

Feinstein and Seymour take
similar positions favoring
moderate defense spending cuts
and overall cuts in federal
programs.

Both say they oppose tax
increases, but neither has taken
an absolute no-new-taxes
pledge.

Seymour is making the

sharpest attacks, focusing on a
State Fair Political Practices
Commission lawsuit alleging
Feinstein failed to properly
disclose the sources of $8.3
million in loans and
contributions to her 1990
gubernatorial campaign.

Feinstein claimed the suit was
politically motivated by a
commission chaired by a Wilson
appointee, She has countered by
demanding that Seymour release
details of out-of-court
settlements of alleged consumer
fraud lawsuits filed against his
real estate firm up to 20 years
ago.

Bush urges UN to overhaul aid & peacekeeping forces

United Nations
(AP) President Bush offered
U.S. support Monday to
strengthen international
peacekeeping and urged
overhauling foreign aid
programs to get away from
Third World handouts.

We propose to. alter
fundamentally the focus of U.S.
assistance programs to building
strong, independent economies
that can become contributors to
a healthy, growing global
economy, Bush said in a speech
to the U.N. General Assembly.
He enthusiastically endorsed the
call by U.N. Secretary-General
Boutros Boutros-Ghali for a new
agenda to strengthen the United
Nations’ ability to prevent,
contain and resolve conflict
across the globe.

Some 40,000 troops are
serving in U.N. peacekeeping
operations.

From Cyprus and Lebanon to
Cambodia and Croatia, “Bush
said, the blue beret has become a
symbol of hope amid all that

Bush also backed an indefinite
extension of an international

agreement designed to block the
spread of nuclear weapons.

He proposed transferring
funds from U.S. foreign aid
programs to create a $1 billion
fund to support American
businessmen in providing
expertise, goods and services in
countries converting to free-
smarket economies.

Some 40,000 U.S. jobs would
be created under the program,
the White House estimated.

Bush’s call for revamping
foreign aid could lead to a
bipartisan effort if he wins re-
election. A prominent Senate
Democrat, Patrick Leahy of
Vermont, has proposed
reconsidering the $14 billion
U.S. program next year and
several senior House Democrats
have called for major changes in
the past.

Since World War II, Bush
said, foreign aid has served as a
Cold War weapon.

But foreign aid, as we’ve
known it, needs to be
transformed,” he said. The
notion of the handout to less-
developed countries to give way
to cooperation in mutually

productive economic
relationships.”

Bush said that as nations rely
more on the private sector and
free markets the higher their
growth rate,

The president said “member
States must always retain the
final decision on use of their
troops.”

Bush acknowledged that
“robust peacekeeping requires
men and equipment that only
member states can provide.”

The president added, “These
forces must be available on short
notice on the request of the
Security Council with the
approval, of course, of the
governments providing them,”

He urged the scores of
presidents, prime ministers and
foreign ministers assembled for
the annual special session to

resist any temptation to turn
inward” and not to build walls

against anything new.”

“To turn inward and retreat
from the world is to invite
disaster and defeat.”

Douglas Hurd told reporters, “It

Bush said he had directed
Defense Secretary Dick Cheney
to develop programs for using

intelligence jointly with other
nations under the control of the
United Nations and such

Bush said that American
planes and ships would transport
peacekeepers and that
peacekeeping would be taught at
U.S. military schools. He said
Fort Dix, NJ could be used for
multinational training and field
exercises.

He did not endorse Boutros-
Ghali’s proposals for a $50

idea and said the United States

September 22, 1992

Almost two years after the
mystifying series first touched our
televisions, David Lynch has decided
to bring Twin Peaks to the big screen.
Fire Walk With Me is the prequel to the
series, so those who did not follow the
soap opera when it aired might be
thoroughly confused. However, avid
fans, like myself, will finally learn
about Laura’s life and the strange
events that led up to her death.

Louisa Petsitis

For the movie, David Lynch has
reunited the main characters from the
Twin Peaks cast: Laura Palmer (Sheryl!
Lee), Leland Palmer (Ray Wise),
Bobby Briggs (Dana Ashbrook) and of
course Agent Cooper (Kyle
MacLachlan). Some of the more
popular characters, such as Audrey
Horne (the girl who could knot a
cherry stem with her tongue),
Benjamin Horne,Josie Packard, and
Sheriff Harry S. Truman have been
deleted from the plot, and Lara Flynn
Boyle was replaced in her role as
Donna Hayward. Adding to and
enriching Lynch’s talent pool are such
big names as Kiefer Sutherland, Chris
Isaaks, and David Bowie. Of course

Dea

In Stephen King’s Pet Sematary, a cat
and a boy rise from the dead when
Louis Creed plants them in the
mysterious Indian burial ground. In
the unnecessary sequel, Pet Sematary
2, its most of the ideas and characters
from the original which rise from the
dust to terrorize us.

Adam Meyer

The first go- round it was Dr. Creed,
a physician working at a college; this
time there’s* Chase (Anthony
Edwards), a veterinarian who makes
housecalls. There are a lot of
references to crazy ole Louis, as if
mentioning this movie’s predecessor
would be enough to make it a horror
film of that quality. Not by a long
shot.

An actress (Darlanne Fluegal) is
electrocuted on the set of her new
flick; in the aftermath, her son Jeff
(Edward Furlong) and estranged
husband Chase take up residence in
the family’s summer quarters in
Ludlow, Maine. There Jeff encounters
a local bully, who you just know is
going to die and come back twice as
vicious. He also meets a pudgy pal,
Drew (Jason McGuire), with a friendly

Lyneh

the cast would not be complete
without the Loglady, the midget, or
BOB. Even Lynch, himself, reclaims
his minor role of the deaf, shouting
FBI chief, Gordon.

For the first forty-five minutes of
the movie we follow agent Chet
Desmond (Isaaks) and agent Sam
Stanley’s (Sutherland) investigation of
the murder of Teresa Banks.
According to the series, Teresa died a
year before Laura and somehow the
two murders were linked up.

Next we are transported from the
dark, haunting forests of Oregon to an
office in Philadelphia where agent
Cooper is talking to Gordon about a
bizarre dream he had. At this point in
the movie we experience the first
Lynchism of the movie. That is to say
that there are times in the movie
where, just like in the series, Lynch
interrupt the events at hand with a
marriage of sound and visual oddity.
The midget talks in a strange tongue.
BOB sits at a table and grins evilly. A
little boy wearing a white mask sits in
a chair. One could drive oneself crazy
trying to figure out what is going on
sO one must just accept the fact that
these things belong to the director.

Finally, just when you're starting to
wonder about Laura, the Twin Peaks

Peaks

theme song plays in the background
and we see Laura walking to school
with that famous pretty/naughty
smirk on her face. For the rest of the
movie we find out that Laura Palmer
isn’t that innocent prom queen that
we all mistook her for. Our little
Laura smokes and drinks like a fiend,
is a coke addict, and prostitutes
herself at the Road House.

There are some unforgettable
moments where the collage of scenery,
light, and music amazed me. For
example, there is a very racy scene
where Laura, Donna, and some men
cross the Canadian border to go to an
underground club. What we
experience is some exotic trip with
naked, dancing lesbians, sex, blaring
music, strobe lights, sex, spinning
dance floors, subtitles to let us know
what is being said, and, oh yea, sex..

At times certain things in the movie
didn’t fit or tie in immediately with
what was happening. I found myself
wondering things like: What does the
blue rose mean? What does the letter
“T’ shoved under Teresa’s left ring
finger signify? and What about that
ring? The movie is packed with
precision sound effects,
foreshadowing, incredible symbolism,
and powerful imagery. One object

could easily represent two different
things. One thing that was consistent
throughout the film was the ominous
feeling that something terrible was
going to happen. From the opening
moments where we see Teresa Banks’
plastic wrapped body floating on
water to the night of Laura’s gory
murder to the movie’s bizarre and
baffling ending, Fire Walk with Me is
laced with an eerieness that hovers in
the air and chills the soul.

Twin Peaks:Fire Walk With Me
contains everything a movie should
have: it’s humorous, frightening,
sexual, bizarre, and sad. For Twin
Peaks fans, it complements what we
already know from the series and
Laura Palmer’s Diary. For those who
didn’t follow, it has no plot , is
ambiguous and inexplicable. Since
this movie is two and a half hours
long, I can only recommend it to
anyone majoring in cinematography,
english, psychology, or David Lynch.

used to be.

It’s a short leap from pets to people,
and soon it’s a battle of living against
dead, but by then, you'll be so tired of
seeing people with obviously fake
wounds stumble around that you
won't even care who wins.

Young Furlong made his acting
debut in Terminator 2, and it looks as
though he has but a short career
ahead of him. Give James Cameron
credit for coaxing a good performance
out of a painfully wretched actor;
Mary Lambert was not this skilled or
fortunate:

The other performers are about
what you'd expect in a cheap horror
film: just good enough to recite their
lines without sounding really dumb.
As the sheriff, Brown has a few rather
funny lines (“No brain, no pain!”) and
delivers them well. Perhaps he would
fare better in a comedy.

For hardcore gorehounds, there’s
plenty of grue, but it looks as
synthetic on-screen as it really is.
Lambert has a few good tricks up her
sleeve, but that’s not enough to
sustain this badly-conceived sequel.
There is something innately horrible
about watching helpless animals be

Aspects on Tuesday

Scener preom a Family \acation

According to a recent pop song, life
is a highway and the singer wants to
ride it all night long. Personally, if
this were the case, I’d stay in the
garage.

Adam Meyer

T’'ve never been fond of automobile
trips, but even if I were, there’s no
better cure for the driving bug than a
trip with my family. This summer we
went to Montreal. It has been 4 years
since our last jaunt, so I was actually
looking forward to the trip. But
shortly after we started I had flashes
of vacations past—such as Dad setting
off the metal detector at the FBI
building and being surrounded by
forty agents—and my enthusiasm
dwindled.

It took an entire Sunday to reach
our destination, which isn’t bad
considering that my dad has a
religious devotion to the speed limit
and my mom has an urgent need to
use the bathroom any time she sees a
rest stop sign.

The Meyer family is quite well-
traveled. We have been to Toronto,
Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and
Boston. Not once have we ever
stayed in the actual city we were
visiting. We're a suburban clan, you
see. We live in the suburbs—Queens
ain’t the city—and we vacation in the
suburbs. Thus our motel was not in
Montreal but in a little out of the way
area which resembled Schenectady.

“The Automobile Club gave it 3
Stars,” mom informed us. Where I
come from, the AAA ranks just ahead
of God and just behind talk radio host
Bernard Meltzer. .

“Three out of how many?” I asked.

“Ten,” she said.

My brother, Scott, who had been
playing his “Be Fluent in French in 20
Minutes” tapes in the car, insisted that
no one speak English when we

A Gathering of Friends

“Bonsoir, salut! Comment vas tu?”
exclaimed Monsieur bowes. His lips
were very much like a small packet of
mayonnaise that is squeezed to the
point of bursting and then does so:
the lips puckered into a taut fault line
then burst, covering me with the pus
of false sincerity.

David Cunningham

“Ca va, et toi?” I replied in
execrable French as I pushed my way
into his apartment. It was a small
soiree- a gathering of friends. I
panned the room taking them all in -
the last gathering of it’s kind. I called
them my friends, what they called me
was always thinly veiled slander.

They were all there: my ex-
roommate, the pedophile with a
predilection for Edwardian foppery
and a collection of toddler’s
footwear; James Feargus Bronterre
O’Hoolihan, a philosopher and
skeptic who liked to work with wood
.no, a rabid anti-cleric and notorious
libertine ...no, a crusty sea-dog ih,
he always escaped easy classification;

registered at the motel. “And don’t
act like tourists,” he added.

“Sure thing,” Dad said, snapping a
photograph of a Quebec license plate.

Inside, the woman behind the
counter said, “Hello, how are you?”
In English.

“Shit—I mean bonjour.” Scott
touched the sleeve of his New York
Knicks T-shirt. “How’d you know
we're American?”

“Lucky guess. Will you be renting

by the hour or by the day?” she asked.
Nothing but first class
accommodations for us. Have I

mentioned that when we flew to
Florida, we rode with the luggage?

Actually, the room was in pretty
good shape. Beds are a greatly
overrated luxury; I’ve always liked
the floor just fine. And it only took
me an hour or so to get out of the
bathroom when the knob came off in
my hands.

The language barrier did prove to
be somewhat of a challenge,
particularly when my brother and |
had hunger pangs at 1 A.M. The man
working the front desk spoke no
English. I tried to communicate, but it
was hopeless. “Como esta Denny’s?” |
repeated again and again, but he kept
responding, “Merci.”

“I think you told him he has sexy
ankles,” Scott said.

We walked along the road past
meaningless French signs until we
spotted two yellow arches in the
distance. “Great!” 1 cried.
“McDonald’s, the universal
language.” But the restaurant was
dark. We journeyed on, Our
stomachs were growling like rabid
squirrels.

“] see a Pizza Hut sign.” Scott
pointed into the empty darkness. His
hunger was so great he was
hallucinating.

Finally I spotted a Montreal police
car. “Follow them!” Scott didn’t
understand at first but we tailed

the MacMhurchaidh Boys - Gog and
Magog - who share a secret so
wretched and bizarre I dare not
teveal it; Ezekiel G. Grubin, a brilliant
pedant, not unlike deSade; and Mara,
that robust flower of womanhood
who speaks with a melodic delicacy
akin to an angelic host from Queens
reciting Humpty Dumpty with
marbles in their mouths. They were
all there, every cursed one of them.
Jake Yobbs, the houseboy who
would be a dead ringer for Lou
Ferrigno were he a dwarf,
approached me with a tray of
martinis. I declined, having taken the
cure. Of course they were all tighter
than a tabby cat’s ass on a full moon
eve’. My ex-roommate looked
somewhat cosmically at me and
muttered something like: “cutest
damn 1 1/2 ruby slingbacks I evah
saw.” Gog MacMhurchaidh was
insisting he could carry Jake, Mara
and a television set up a flight of
stairs without breaking a sweat.
Magog was throwing sharp objects
“just for kicks.” O’Hoolihan was
quietly grinding cigarettes out on
Monsieur Bowe’s upholstery while

them, and sure enough, they led us to
a Dunkin’ Donuts. Famished, we
used the last of our strength to push
open the door into the dimly lit
interior.

“Uh, Adam, something’s wrong
here.”

“You're right. They’re out of jelly
donuts.”

“Not just that. The menu’s written
in French. Like, the whole thing.”

“Oh. Well, you know some
French.”

“Only certain phrases. I’m not sure
they'd be useful here. I can say, ‘Is
that Grey Poupon?’ and ‘It smells like

“Never mind. Look, there’s pictures
of the sandwiches. We can figure out
what they are.”

There were four pictures showing
croissants with pieces of grey meat on
them.

“Let’s have donuts,” I said. “We
can point at those.”

One of the highlights of the trip
would have to be our odyssey from
Montreal to the motel. What should
have been a ten minute ride took
longer than the drive from New York
City to the Canadian border. My
parents both have high school
diplomas, but as soon as they get in
the car, they become bumbling idiots.

Approaching a fork in the road, my
father shouted, “Left or right?”

“Right, right,” my mom cried as
dad steered the car left. “We're going
the wrong way.”

“I thought you said left.”

“Adam, didn’t I say right?”

“I plead the fifth on the grounds
that I may incriminate myself,” I said.
After all, dad had all the Canadian
money.

“Let's be calm.” Dad glanced in the
rearview. “Where are we going now?’

“We're heading toward Quebec
City. We don’t want to go that way.”

“I know, but which way do we want

perspiring dangerously. Grubin was
prophesying the end while
displaying a jar containing, what he
claimed was, his pickled prostate (as
an aside: I had my doubts). A
congenial atmosphere if there ever
was one - friendly-like, know what I
mean?

The tenderness of the situation
struck me. We would all be scattered
to the ends of the Earth next year -
this noble fellowship sundered. I
looked hard at their faces (pausing
only briefly on Gog’s due to it’s
extreme ugliness) and studied the
lines and creases of experience. O
how far we had come! From fresh
faced froshers to... And then the light
around me darkened, I lost my
balance and the room began closing
in on me. Their faces became carnival
masks, well, I mean they were
already carnival masks but the
luridness of it all, the luridness ....1

to go?”

Mom sighed. “This is east. We
want to go west.”

“Why didn’t you just SAY that?”

To make a very, very long story
somewhat short, we found the motel
about five p.m. the next day. My
brother and I showered and dressed
(separately, for those of you with
warped minds) and headed over to
Olympic Stadium for the Expos-
Braves game.

Compared to the New York
ballparks, it was Eden. As on the
subway, the floors were clean enough
to perform emergency surgery on.
Everything had a very dignified
appearance, even the scalpers, who
wore khakis and loafers and had
Beverly Hills 90210 haircuts. The food
court inside the stadium complex
served everything from whoppers to
filet mignon.

First we sang “The Star Spangled
Banner” for Atlanta, followed by a
French version of the Canadian nation
anthem, and then Michael Bolton’s
“How Am I Supposed to Live

Without You” in both French and
English. The game was exciting, a

fine example of the sport—unless you
were a Montreal fan, because the
Expos were getting pounded.

The most amazing thing was how
polite the fans were. When opposing
pitcher Charlie Leibrandt came to the
plate, they jeered him, but stopped
when he got into the batter’s box so as
not to interrupt his concentration.
Last time I was at Yankee Stadium
fans were throwing produce—at the
home team.

All in all, it’s good to be back where
I belong. In Albany, an All-America
City. Even if it did recently rate
somewhere in the bottom ten percent
of the survey of the five million best
cities to live in. The surveyors
obviously didn’t visit Denny's.

BDITORIAL

Campaign '92 heats up

It must be difficult to run a campaign these days
without being negative. Inevitably one candidate or the
other picks up a handful of mud, and it escalates from
there. The last few elections can only remind how easy
it is for people to sink to these depths, lower than most
used car salesman. It’s no wonder that most politicians
used to be lawyers (or journalists).

The big question now is how deep can candidates
sink in their desire for victory?

If the Democratic mudslinging gets really wild we
can expect to see a replay of one of President Bush’s
statements over the past few years. An announcer will
tell us how the president did something that ruined the
economy, although this action really has no bearing on
economics. If it’s just plain silly they’ll show a picture
of Dan Quayle and spell “potato(e)” several dozen
times.

Surprise! The Democratic campaign has already run
one of those ads.

If the Republicans are seriously interested in slashing
the opposition with negative ads maybe they'll
superimpose Jim Carter’s face unto Bill Clinton’s body,
point out how the fastest growing industry in Arkansas
is chicken processing and relate it to “Slick Willie’s”
draft record, at the least we can expect Gore
impersonators to hug trees. Perhaps an Elvis
impersonator could follow Bill and Al cross country
handing out baloney sandwiches at each campaign stop!

Strangely enough, except for the Elvis strategy
Comedy Central has beaten the G.O.P. to the punch
with each of these ads. (Makes people wonder who’s
side the “Media/Cultural elite” are really on.)

Although an esteemed, intellectual psychologist
might draw the conclusion that the politicians use
negative ads because they are “insecure about their
masculinity”- and most of us would laugh, they are
probably not far from the truth. This year one candidate
has a poor record as president, his opponent only
became a challenge when the third candidate quit, the
nation has two of the most unsatisfying candidates in
history, the candidates know it and will do anything to
win,

Before he rose to the Democratic nomination, back
when President Bush had an approval rating closer to
his age than Vice-President Quayle’s Bill Clinton sat
among a field that some the media characterized as
losers. At that point Clinton was the “chunky loser,”
Tsongas the “boring loser,” and Brown the “space
loser.” Less than a year later he is poised to grab victory
in a race to rule the greatest nation in the world (many
concede that his saxophone performance was one of the
best political maneuvers of his life).

President Bush will go down in history as one of the
biggest question marks ever to serve the American
people. Just two years ago Bush sat on top of the world
with a 90+ approval rating, and now he can’t beat

Murphy Brown in the ratings. He has sunk some say
because of a pathetic and corrupt agenda, others point to
a pathetic and corrupt Congress (remember, they have a
disapproval rating higher the tuition at SUNYA).

A better question is what happened to all the bright
and shiny faces that press always said, “Was being
considered to replace Dan Quayle in 1992.," “Look for’
the Democrats to draft him at the election.” or “Might
be an independent candidate.”

Obviously there have been some problems with these
guys. Perot teased the nation for several weeks, let
people quit or leave their jobs for his campaign and
often sink thousand of there own dollars into into
making “Ross the Boss!," then he gave up. When Perot
is seen in public these days it just shows what guts the
man has, I wouldn’t want to be alone in a neighborhood
if over 5% of the people thought I was a traitor to my
nation or cause. Perot routinely goes out in a nation
where at least 20% think he is a traitor and a fool to quit
the campaign .

What the polls across the nation should do is look
into how other candidates would have done in an
election. Right now Sam Nunn-Colin Powell
democratit presidential ticket would assuredly crush
Bill Clinton and Al Gore. By the same token the
president is surely thankful that Jack Kemp refused to
follow Pat Buchanan into a primary challenge. If Kemp
and retired Gen, H. Norman Schwarzkopf were a ticket
this fall it’s easy to guess who’d occupy the White
House next spring.

"NC-17" rating = censorship

Give MGM credit for having guts. They have decided
to do the unthinkable: They are releasing their new film
Body of Evidence with an NC-17 rating.

Supposedly this rating was created so that adult
movies could be made without compromising their
integrity. In other words, the violence and/or sex which
had to be cut from numerous films could now be
salvaged for those who thrive on it. No longer would we
have to wait for videotapes which trumpeted “ Includes
Footage Not Seen in Theaters” or “Unrated Version,”
we could indulge in excessive blood, guts, and boobs on
the big screen.

Adam Meyer

Not quite.

The idea was great. Give movies which in the past
would have qualified as X-rated a respectable NC-17,
meaning that they aren’t for kiddies below the designated
age. But we are all the Motion Pictures Association of
America’s children, aren’t we, for they have long
decided what we can and cannot see.

It hasn’t changed much since the inception of this
rating. The stigma which accompanies that big X has
transferred itself to NC-17 like a venereal disease. So far
few have dared to challenge this prejudice. Any studio
hoping to make a lot of money would be fools to let their
film go out with an NC-17 , or so says common wisdom.

No one should be surprised that the first mainstream
film to test the rapids stars Madonna. She’s an old hand
at stirring controversy in the music world and it was only
a matter of time before she did the same in the cinematic
hemisphere.

MGM is probably banking on Madonna’s outrageous
reputation to carry them. and it seems like a good bet
right now. Sure, the fundamentalists will shriek, but if
enough people pack the theatres to see Madonna
between the sheets ( and up against the wall, and on the
ceiling, and wherever else she chooses to be), other film
makers will move into the frontier of the for bidden NC-
ies

Can you imagine what David Lynch could do, whose
Wild at Heart managed to escape with an R? Or Clive
Barker, who has repeatedly battled with the ratings board
to keep his films as whole as possible? The horror
movie, which has been squashed by the MPAA’s strict
codes, might have a chance for revival.

As a recommendation of what films are appropriate for
children, the rating system is a good idea . (Although it’s
effectiveness could be debated. I remember giving
money to an elderly couple so that my brother and I
could see the R-rated Aliens when I was in junior high
and he in elementary school, and we’re not the only
ones who have done it.) The problem arises when the
MPAA becomes a censorship device, regulating what
may and may not be viewed by American adults. When
you're old enough to drive (though maybe not to drink),
shouldn’t you have the right to see folks mutilated in
graphic detail or a man and a woman ( or a man and a
man, or a woman and a woman or a woman and an
animal) copulate. It’s one thing to decide that children
should be restricted’, but should the adults of society live

by the same rules?

Sure, you can go down to Forty-second Street in
Manhattan and see virtually whatever you want. But
that’s a kind of subculture where people duck their
heads as thy skulk through doorways. Aren’t adults
intelligent enough to decide what they are willing to
watch? Considering the hordes of viewers who flocked
to Home Alone, perhaps not. But what makes the
Motion Picture Association of America any more
intelligent than the rest of us?

For that matter, do they keep higher moral standards
then the average American adult? What kind of
screening process must the potential member of the
rating board face? Considering that Clarence Thomas,
who allegedly sexually harassed a woman, is on the
Supreme Court of the United States, isn’t it possible that
the MPAA contains a woman-hater or a child abuser or a
racist? Isn’t it possible that the highest ranks of the
MPAA have been infiltrated by a Russian agent who is
trying to prevent Americans from seeing certain films?

As I understand it, the NC-17 rating was created as a
label for “artistic “* films which go beyond the limits of
the R. I presume that Debbie Does the Eastern
Seaboard wouldn’t qualify as art. That's where it gets
sticky; (no pun intended). How come David Lynch can
show Laura Dern naked and create art , but if Traci
Lords goes au natural it’s pomography? Because David
Lynch has a purpose beyond getting hormones to flow,
that’s why. But how does the MPAA know this?

One could argue that Basic Instinct was pornography.
It certainly wasn’t art. It was exploitive , repetitive, and
demeaning to women, which is the way I would describe
most pornography. Yet if Carolco Pictures had wanted
they probably could have released it intact with an NC-
17 rating.

We've come a long way since the days of THE CODE.
That was the movies showed married people sleeping in
seperate beds. If two people of the opposite sex were on
a mattress, you can bet at least one of them had their feet
on the floor. And their was a whole list of taboo words,
and curses were just the beginning.

Perhaps what we fail to realize is that the MPAA is
doing us a great service by keeping those extra few
seconds of Basic Instinct or Twin Peaks or Angel Heart
from us. If we were to watch these movies in thier
entirety, we might become jaded, warped and depraved.
What does this say, however, about that select group of
people who gets to see every single censored moment of
film?

Have a fun and
safe holiday

LETTERS
Students for Clinton

To the Editor:
“George Bush, if you won’t use your power to help
America, step aside. I will.”

Those are the words of Gov. Bill Clinton, Democratic
candidate for the Presidency.

Clinton believes that our government has failed our
people. For twelve years, the Republicans in
Washington have cut taxes for the rich and raised taxes
for the rest of us. The number of good jobs has
dissipated. Health care has become a privilege, not a
right. Schools have declined. Our streets and
neighborhoods have grown increasingly dangerous. All
the while the Republicans have sat back and done
nothing.

We cannot afford four more years of a President
without a vision for our nation.

Clinton has a bold new plan to fight for what
Americans deserve: good jobs, quality health care,
world class education and safe neighborhoods. It’s time
that middle class Americans have leaders who are on
their side.

It’s time for a change. It’s time to get our economy
moving again. It’s time for all of us to unite behind the
hope we all share-that we can build a better future for
our nation. Let’s put people first for a change, join us
every Monday night in

An open letter to the
President

Dear Mr. President,

Although I know that you have said it bores you, I am
writing to you about a domestic policy issue, the
economy. Today I saw your campaign ad on TV. With
triumphant music rising in the background, I heard how
you were fighting to make our country great again. You
envision us a military superpower, an economic
superpower, and an export superpower. You said you
want health care reform, better job training, and less
government spending. While all of the above are lofty
ideals that this nation has been striving for, I must
question your recent commitment to these goals.

Let me introduce myself. I am a white, upper-middle
class student attending a state school in New York. Over
the last three years, I have watched my school’s budget
shrink and tuition rise. My father works in construction,
and has been on unemployment more than he’s been at
work for the past two years. While he has savings, they
are draining fast. The economic problems now will
affect his retirement ten years down the line, when my
younger sister will just be starting college.

I know you have made attempts to fix the economy;
first you tried to ignore it, then, when it wouldn’t go
away and your calendar reminded you ‘92 was an
election year, you devised a solution that would help us;
you called for a middle class tax cut in your State of the
Union address last January. Unfortunately, you forgot to
include it when you sent your budget to Congress.
Congress graciously reminded you of your promise and
sent your budget back to you, but you vetoed it. Why,
Mr President?

Later, you said that we needed to save and invest more
to fix the economy. To this end, you cut interest rates on
savings accounts, so now all Americans earn less money
on their savings and investments. Months after this
move, the economy hasn’t improved; indeed, the
construction industry in this state is going downhill faster
now. How much longer will it take before your plans
Start to work?

You.ad also claimed you support lower taxes. Since
details were lacking, I read about your proposal in the
paper. You offer a 1% tax cut on people of all incomes,
which sounds pretty good to me. But when I do the
math, I find out what you really want-lower taxes for
yourself. You see, my family earns about $60,000 per
year, and pays 28% (or $16,800) in taxes. A 1% tax cut
would give us $160 per year, or $3.32 per week. But for
someone making at least a million dollars per year (i.e.,
you), the tax break works out to be $31,000. President
Bush, why must you lower your own taxes to help us
through these tough economic times?

Another part of your economic “strategy” that you
brag about is your fight to open foreign markets to free
trade with this country. "You use as an example the
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA),
which would open trade with Mexico. You claim that
we could sell the impoverished people in that country
many things which we do not already export to them,
and that companies here would not relocate there for
cheap labor and lax environmental laws. You obviously
see something that I do not, but I guess we must trust
you; your economic policies have worked well thus far.

I know that my letter will fall on blind eyes, much as |
know you won’t care about my Situation after the
election, win or lose. I just felt compelled to explain
why a one-time Bush supporter now campaigns for Bill
Clinton. Through your childish denial of domestic
problems and naive expectations of campaigning solely
on the Gulf War, you have lost the trust and respect of a
great many people, myself being one of them. Bill
Clinton may well have his flaws, but they seem to be of a
Personal nature and pale in comparison to yours.

President Bush, I wanted to believe in you, believe in
your dreams, Sadly they turned out to be nightmares.
On television, you ask, “Who do you trust?” Not you
Mr. President, not you.

Looking forward to seeing you on the unemployment
line in November...

Christopher Freel

More about bus route

To the Editor:

This letter is concerning the bus service of our school.
I am outraged by what happened to me on my way to
class this morning and by what continues to happen

SE SE LF PE RE EDI

everyday.

This morning driver #103 of the 7:40 Westbound
Wellington bus #49, drove through Dutch Quad parking
lot to make a personal stop at his vehicle. Considering
the strict rule that there are to be no unauthorized stops, I
was appalled. If the bus can stop in the parking lot,
detaining students on their way to class, why can’t the
Eastbound busses stop on Washington Ave. at the comer
of N. Lake Ave.? What’s going on?

This matter is really upsetting me. Many students will
benefit from there being a stop on N. Lake Ave. The
drivers will not be going out of their way to stop, so
what’s the problem?

The bus system should cater to all students, especially
those of us who spend $25 for a sticker and pay for
tickets. The loop around Alumni Quad is a good idea; a
stop at N. Lake and Washington Ave. is a great one.

UAS is rotten

To the Editor:

My roommate and I were walking down the dungeon-
like cafeteria steps the day after the public news had
made the stink about UAS at SUNYA being the worst
food in the country, when I overheard a rather feisty
transaction between a UAS employee and an aggravated
student. One of the congenial and polite managers was
punching our meal cards, and overheard an ascending
student proclaim the obnoxious nature of the UAS’s
version of fine cuisine. The manager was none too quick
to interrupt and brilliantly quip; “yeah, but nobody says
you kids gotta eat it!” I refrained from ramming some
tofu-rice-shit down her throat in order to channel my
feelings into this letter - UAS, you’ve got to change your
evil ways.

OK, maybe we don’t have to eat it. We could eat at
The Rat (probably named for its inhabitants), where the
over-priced food is mildly acceptable. We could spend
money on their Noodle Zone, where, despite being over-
cooked and pricey, the pasta is still alright. We could go
to the mall, or Denny’s, or get delivery... OK, lady; what
if we don’t have a car to go out to eat? What if we don’t
have enough time to order from one of the hundreds of
take out places, or most importantly, what if we can’t
afford any of these luxuries?. The fact is, many students
can’t. We HAVE to eat it, so go figure. In conclusion,
UAS owes it’s students quality food. A satisfying menu
is not as difficult as they claim it is, and as proven in
USA Today, the entire country has found ways to
achieve this. The sad thing is that it’s not even a matter
of higher costs or financial loss, or even living up to the
Norm... just being more flexible and willing to give a
little. Compared to those of other colleges, our cafeteria
plan is despicable. I’ve attended two other schools, have
two siblings in other colleges, and have visited the
cafeterias of many universities, so I’m pretty sure that I
know what I’m talking about when I say the Princeton
Review’s survey is no fluke.

Fact One: As SUNYA students, we don’t pay
substantially more or less than students at other
universities for our meal plans; we’re about average.
Fact Two: The specific meal plans that UAS makes
available to SUNYA (AYNUS backwards) are obsolete
in comparison to those of other colleges, so more
efficient and beneficial programs applicable to SUNY do
exist. Fact Three: Amongst the. slurs-in many
bathrooms, one can usually find the famous line; “flush
twice, its a long way to the UAS kitchens” or some
variation of that. It’s important to note, however, no one
feels sorry for the victim of this particular graffiti.
Here’s the pisser, Fact Four: If you live on campus, it is
mandatory to have at least a “ten-meal” plan. I am
saying this because many who never tried to get less than
ten meals probably failed to look at the fine print on the
invoice. I only noticed this when I tried to cancel my
meal plan and use the money for eating at The Rat and
the mall last year. In any event, UAS is saying that we
must eat their cafeteria food. In more realistic phrasing,
UAS is saying that we have to suffice. our hard earned
money no matter what. In turn, they get away with a
pitiful menu because it doesn’t really matter if we like it
or not. It doesn’t even matter if the Princeton Review
likes it, as long as they get their money. They collect
substantially; campus housing is filled to its limit every
year, That alone turns my stomach. One more thing:
the lucrative concept of the Noodle Zone is based on the

fact that UAS knows students
hate the food to the extent that
they are willing to pay extra to
avoid it. Very clever indeed.

I could easily go on with
various stories about student-
workers finding cockroaches
and other nice insects in UAS’s
food supply. I could attack
Norbert Zahn’s outrageous
statement saying that only 10-
12% of the students are
dissatisfied. Instead, I'd like to
offer some advice to the culprit.
Eliminate the mandatory ten-
meal plan. Use more spices, and
use them properly. Give
students the option of using their
meal credits as cash advances to
purchase the better food of the
campus center. Watch your
student ratings soar, and let
them mean something to you.
SUNYA is beginning to lose its
nation-wide reputation as it is,
so its up to UAS to begin
making it better. If you are as
good as you claim, it can be
done. The students of SUNYA
are sick of hearing weak claims
of progress and frail
appeasements (Noodle Zone?,
“our food is fine”?). It’s time
foe UAS to change for the
better. If you don’t, student
action is inevitable, because, Mr.
Zahn, there is a great injustice
being caused by your monster.

Even though his team only
went 1-3 over the weekend,
Lewis refused to look at it as a
step backwards. “We held our
own, but we weren’t good
enough to beat them,” Lewis
said. “I think it was a good
experience for the team.”

Individually, Matt Presser
continued his steady
improvement, going 3-1 in
singles for the Danes. Another
notable performance was put in
by the doubles team of Paul
Garnock and Brian Pfeiffer, who
was playing in his first ever
collegiate match. They notched
a 8-5 pro-set win over the
talented pairing of Ken Prather

and Rob Wirtrom from
Rochester.
Overall, it was a very

successful tournament, and all
of the attending coaches
remarked that this year’s field
was the strongest out of all the
others to date.

Lady Danes flat in losses to Westfield, Utica
Albany is shut out twice;
Visit RP] on Wednesday

By Eric Dagnall

Just when you thought things
‘were looking up for the Lady
Danes, they make a 180 degree
turn and leave you thinking
about last year.

In two successive games,
Albany (2-3) was shut out, first
by Westfield State (1-2) on
Thursday and then by Utica (3-
0) on Saturday.

After winning two emotional
games in a row, Albany entered.
the game against Westfield State
soaring. They came crashing
back to earth with a 2-0 loss.

Coach Colleen McTygue
summed up the game. “We're
extremely disappointed,” she
said. “We outplayed them in the
second half.”

Westfield came out shooting at
the start of the game, but the
Albany defense, led by Mellanie
Brown, quickly doused their

Mix of old &

blazing strikers.

It seemed the efforts of the
Westfield offense would be in
vain, but a lapse in Albany’s
defense led to the first goal. A
crossing pass somehow found its
way through the Albany backs to
a wide open Kitty Moriarty, who
shot it past Lady Dane
goalkeeper Celia Mosier to put
Westfield ahead 1-0.

The Lady Danes then
squandered numerous
opportunities to tie the game.

Nancy Nicolich provided a
crossing pass to Maureen
O’Brien, who shot left of the
goal post.

Later, Nicolich raced down the
sideline and faked a Westfield
defender out of her boots. Her
shot zoomed by the goalkeeper,
but it hit the crossbar and was
cleared.

Minutes later, Nicolich set up

O’Brien again, but O’Brien
mishit the ball and the Lady
Danes were left wondering if
they would ever catch a break.

In the second half, Albany
started sluggishly. Westfield took
advantage of this poor play
when Cindy Binding shot the
ball over Mosier’s head for a 2-0
lead.

The Lady Dane offense awoke
from their slumber when Mosier
was taken out of goal and put on
offense.

Nicolich’s pass was headed by
Deb Keiser just left of goal. Deb
Antonelli’s shot off the rebound
was tipped onto the crossbar by
an acrobatic Westfield save.

Other Albany attacks were
halted by the Westfield defense,
leaving the Lady Danes
frustrated. The Lady Danes
could only look back to what
might have been.

Albany hosted a strong Utica
squad on Saturday, trying to put
the loss behind them. However,
a lethargic performance quickly
put an end to these hopes.

Defense keys J.V. triumph

“We've had better days,” said
McTygue.

The first half was all Utica.
The Lady Pioneers were able to
penetrate a sluggish Lady Dane
defense.

A free kick by Utica’s
Michelle Bayer sent Colleen
Doyle skyward to head the ball,
but Mosier was perfectly placed
for the save. Minutes later
however, Mosier wasn’t as
lucky.

Coming from the right comer,
Doyle weaved her way into the
Albany box. It seemed she
would go all the way, but she
passed out to a wide open
Michelle Tansey, who hit a
screamer over the outstretched
arms of Mosier. The goal gave
the Lady Pioneers a 1-0 lead
twelve minutes into the game.

Utica dominated the rest of the
half, keeping the ball in Albany
territory. For the half, Utica took
eight shots compared to a paltry
one for the Lady Danes.

territory.

Working the sideline, Tansey
provided a perfect cross to a
wide open Lisa Defrees. Defrees
put it past a helpless Monica
Harlow, putting Utica ahead 2-0
only three minutes into the half.

Albany did have a few notable
moments. The biggest threat
came when Brown provided a
cross that Mosier nodded left.of
the goal.

However, Utica composed
themselves. With seconds
remaining, Amy Wayland scored
their third goal, putting an end to
a miserable performance by
Albany.

only four shots, compared to 14
from Utica.

new for Lady
Danes’ tennis

By Daniel Collender

The fall women’s tennis season is
underway, and the team is hoping for aj
rebirth after last year’s dismal
performance. With the addition of new
head coach Jeff Brennan, 26, and the|
return of some key players from last
semester, the team is hoping for aj
productive fall season.

The team lineup is a mixture of new
faces and some talented veterans. As off
Ipress time, the team consisted of of #1
seed Hope Kaufer, #2 Jen Fitzgerald, #3)
Carmella Pulido, #4 Ritu Singh, #5
Jennifer Hirschbein, #6 Jessica Walsh,
land #7 Stacy Baden. According to]
Brennan, the #8 seed is up for grabs}
between two excellent competitors.

The team started off their season|
against two strong opponents. Their first
match was in Poughkeepsie against
Vassar College. The final score was 8-1,
with Albany’s sole victory coming in|
first doubles.

‘There were many close matches, but}
they had five seniors against our one,”
‘Brennan said.

Albany’s second match was an
extremely close matchup here in Albany)
against SUNY Oneonta. Albany lost|
two three-set matches, in first doubles}
and third singles. They also won a three-
setter in first singles.

“We have some really good returning}
starters, as well as some new talent,”
Singh said. “I’m very excited about the}
forthcoming season.”

Brennan is an alumnus of SUNY
Albany as well as a former men’s tennis|
player. After graduation from Albany,
he stayed on as an assistant coach for
tthe men’s team. He moved to the|
}women’s team this season.

“T expect the team to get stronger as|
the season progresses,” Brennan said.|
“They really match up well in doubles,
but they are actually stronger in|
singles.”

Albany’s next match is the Friday]
versus the Lady Colonials of SUNY}
‘Binghamton. Start time is at 3:00p.m.|

Defense was the difference as Albany’s
junior varsity football team won its first
game of the season. The 12-8 victory
over the RPI Engineers on Sunday even
the Danes record at 1-1.

“This was one of the greatest defensive
performances I have ever seen,” Albany
head coach Charlie Roman exclaimed.

The Danes’ defense held the Engineers
to just one touchdown (with a two-point
conversion). They intercepted the ball
three times, returned a fumble for a score,
and twice stopped the RPI offense from
scoring inside the twenty-yard line.

In the final two minutes of the game,
the Engineers stood at the Danes’ ten-
yard line. Only an impressive defensive
series kept RPI out of the end zone and
the win in the Danes’ hands.

George Lanese had two interceptions
and Frank Carpentiere had one.

Ryan Donovan picked up a loose ball

and raced seventy yards for a touchdown
in the fourth quarter. It put Albany on the
board and made the score 8-6, RPI.

“The defense came through and made
the plays when they had to,” defensive
coordinator Dan Rattay said.

The Albany offense was sluggish
throughout most of the game.

With the score 8-6 in the fourth,
Roman made a gutsy decision on third
and one to throw the ball over the middle.

It paid off when quarterback Robert
Hoss connected with Scott Franzen, who
scampered fifty-five yards for the
winning touchdown.

“T thought it was a good decision to go
for the big play because we had another
play left,” Hoss remarked.

“We had to make something happen,”
Roman said. “We would have went for it
on fourth down (if the pass failed).”

The Danes hit the road to play
U.S.M.A. on Friday, October 2nd.

in five-way meet

SPORTS EDITOR

The results were less than spectacular|
for Albany’s women’s cross country,
team as they hosted a five-way meet
with College of Saint Rose, Siena
College, Russell Sage and Hartwick
College last Saturday.

Albany took fourth out of the five-|
team field, compiling 83 points for the|
race. Saint Rose dominated the 5K
course, totaling only 27 points to easily
outdistance the competition.

Hartwick was second with 60 points,|
followed closely in third place by Siena,
which tallied 65 points. Russell Sage|
finished out of the money in fifth place|
with 115 points.

Albany has seen some of these teams
already this year. They edged out Siena
last week at the Wagner Invitational. At
Hartwick in the opening race, Albany}
finished third behind winner Hamilton
College and Hartwick.

“We thought we had a good shot al}
Hartwick,” Albany coach Ronald White}
said. “But it was not our greatest race.”

Albany’s bright spot in this race and]
so far this season has been freshman
Becky Popp. Popp was Albany’s top
finisher in the year’s first two races, the}
Hamilton/Hartwick tri-meet and the
| Wagner Invite.

This time around, Popp had the best}
overall finish thus far in her career. In aj

place, timed at 21:07.2.

“Becky has turned into a good|

Bad break hurts Danes in loss to Chiefs

Springfield, Mass.
By Jacob Jonas
STAFF WRITER

Different circumstances produced an
all-too familiar result as the Great Danes
(0-2) fell to the Division II Springfield
Chiefs 28-14 at Springfield’s Benedum
Field on Friday.

Although a “loss is a loss,” one series
of plays made the difference in a game
that Albany needed to bounce back
following a 51-7 season-opening loss to
Division III national champion Ithaca
College.

“It’s discouraging to lose,” defensive
coordinator Mike Simpson remarked. “We
hurt ourselves more than they hurt us. We
were not physically outmatched.”

The pivotal series occurred during the
first Albany possession of the second
quarter, The Danes were forced to punt
after moving the ball from their own 35 to
the Springfield 47.

Albany senior punter/tight end Eric
Hawkins booted the ball to Springfield’s
freshman split end Mike Ricco, Ricco
proceeded to fumble the ball and Albany
sophomore split end Terry Pierce
recovered it. Pierce’s heads up play gave
Albany a first and goal opportunity at the
Springfield ten-yard line.

Junior quarterback Steve Zampino
came in for the Danes, temporarily
replacing senior QB Jaan Laap. Zampino
ran for four yards over the next two plays
to set up a third down and goal from the
six-yard line. Things then started to fall
apart for Albany.

A holding penalty brought the Danes
back to the fifteen. Senior fullback Mike
Imperato gained two yards on third down
to set up a 31-yard field goal attempt by

senior kicker Mike Malvin.

Springfield senior nose guard Dan
Shaughnessy avoided the Danes’ blockers
and blocked the attempt. A mad scramble
ensued. By the time anyone could get
their hands on it, the football was at the
Danes 35-yard line..Chief junior
defensive back Darren Bennett picked up
the loose ball and darted into the end
zone.

The football had rolled 34 yards before
Bennett scooped it up. Springfield was
successful on a two-point conversion
attempt and the score became 14-0,

This play took the wind out of the
Danes sails. After a very well played first
quarter, the Danes give up 14 big points in
6:16. Although the blocked field goal
return for a touchdown was a freakish
play, the previous Chiefs’ touchdown was

more a result of Albany’s mental mistakes
than Springfield’s offensive proficiency.

In fact, the Danes gave the Chiefs 23
yards in penalties as opposed to 24 yards
that were actually gained by Springfield.

Following an Albany punt, the Chiefs
started with the ball first and ten from the
Danes’ 47. Junior fullback Joel Garrett
brought the ball six yards up the field on a
tun, but a flagrant face mask penalty gave
an additional 15 yards to Springfield,
which gave it a first down on the Albany
26 as the first quarter ended.

Senior quarterback Chris Lawler
scampered 12 yards and senior halfback
Tad Desauntels was stuffed for a one-yard
loss. Once again, an Albany penalty (this
time a personal foul) netted the Chiefs an
automatic first down and half the distance
to the goal line.

QB Jaan Laap (17) completed 7 of 16 passes for 75 yards and a TD..

Freshman halfback Joe Hayes ran down
the right sideline for a touchdown,
making the score 6-0. The extra point was
missed, but Springfield received the
equivalent of a “gift” touchdown.

The only Dane points of the first half
came off of their own excellent special
teams play. The special teams has been
the most impressive unit early in the
campaign for Albany.

With 6:49 remaining in the half, the
Chiefs took possession at their own 30.
They netted minus eight yards over the
next three plays and were forced to punt.
The Danes put on a heavy rush and
tackled junior punter Tony Vitello at the
Springfield 12, turning the ball over to the
eager Danes.

Mike Imperato gained 11 yards in three
Tushes to set up a first and goal from the
two-yard line, Laap rolled right and
pitched to junior running back Ed Lemon,
but numerous Chiefs broke through the
offensive line and took Lemon down for a
five-yard loss.

Laap kept his composure and on the
next play (a third down) threw the ball to
Hawkins for a touchdown. Malvin booted
the ball through the uprights to make the
score 14-7 at halftime.

The third quarter was a mirror of the
first, meaning there were no points
registered. The Danes added another
touchdown in the final quarter, as Laap
capped a 72-yard drive with a nine-yard
touchdown run on fourth and six (with
1:43 remaining).

The Chiefs put the ball into the end
zone twice during the final stanza. A five-
yard run by Hayes with 12:03 to go, anda
Garrett eleven-yard run with 4:26 left on

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

With the temperature hovering
around 60 degrees and a slight
breeze blowing, it was a near
perfect day for cross country as
Albany’s men played host to St.
Rose, Hartwick, Siena, and
Oneonta this past Saturday.

The Danes showed why they
are ranked sixth in the country in
Division III as they dominated

the 8K competition, scoring a
hear perfect 18 points. St. Rose
came in a distant second with 47
points, followed by Hartwick,
which compiled 72 points to take
third.

Junior Todd Orvis took the
early lead for Albany as he
passed through the mile mark in
4:52, followed closely by a St.
Rose runner. Junior tri-captain
Todd Rogers was three seconds

back, closely followed by fellow
juniors Bill Vanos and Scott
Carroll.

As the two-mile mark
approached, Vanos made a move
and caught Orvis as they passed
through the two-mile mark
together with a split of 10:06.

the pace, allowing Vanos to take
sole possession of first place
through three miles (15:16).
Rogers also passed Orvis,
posting a 15:24 split as Orvis
struggled through in 15:28.

‘Vanos went on to win the race
in 25:49.6, Rogers made an
immense surge over the last 100
meters, passing a St. Rose runner
to take second place in 25:57.8.

The other Albany scorers were
sophomore Jason DeJoy, who
took fourth place with a time of
26:48, Carroll (5th, 27:05.8) and
Orvis (6th, 27:06.1) .

The times of Vanos and
Rogers marked the first time
Albany has had two athletes go
under 26 minutes in September.

After the race, Orvis
commented on his disappointing
finish and the reasons behind it.

“J have been training real hard
and my legs have been sore all
week, so I just did not have it
today,” Orvis explained. “I’m
going to relax for a couple of
days and then go on from there,”

Albany head coach Robert
Vives was not worried about
Orvis’s performance.

“Todd is in great shape,” he
said. “He was just really tired.”

“He will peak when we really
need him,” he continued. “These
early meets are really just
preparation for Nationals.”

The Danes will face a real
challenge next week when they
tun at the Cortland Invitational.
They will have to face the
University of Rochester, ranked
second in in Division III,
Rochester Institute of
Technology, ranked 16th, and
Haverford, which is also in the
top 20.

Also giving the Danes a
challenge will be Cortland,
which finished seventh at last
year’s cross country Nationals.

The team is not worried
though, as explained by Rogers
and assistant coach Kevin

Williams. =

“We will have a chance to see
how we stack up early,”
Williams said. “Right now we
are in excellent shape.”

“Right now this is a feeling
out process between us and
Rochester and R.I.T.,” Rogers
said. “It’s kind of a preview for
the Nationals.”
