The memory of sophomore Bryan Higgins was honored in many ways this weekend, such as the candlelight vigil Friday night.
SUNYA reacts to student’s death
Compiled by the ASP News Staff
Over 600 friends and family members
attended the funeral of 20-year-old
sophomore Bryan Higgins, which was held
Monday at his hometown of Mahopac,
N.Y.
According to the Associated Press , dur-.
ing the mass, chief celebrant Bishop James
P. Mahoney said ‘‘He was a personwho
graced us by being with us and in our
midst.”’
On the SUNYA campus, flags were
flown at half mast and a candlelight vigil
was held in memorium of Higgins, who
died Thursday in an accident at Indian
Lake.
A pledge of Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE)
fraternity, Higgins was with about 15
other members of TKE at the time of the
accident. A police investigation is being
conducted to determine the reasons
students were at the lake. No determina-
tions have yet been made. At present, no
relation between the cause of the electric
current in the water and the circumstances
surrounding Higgins’ presence in the water
‘has been established.

Higgins’ died of cardiac arrest according
to Coroner Tim Cavanaugh.
In a statement released by University
Relations, it was said, ‘‘an extensive
physical examination of the electrical sup-
ply line to the University’s irrigation
system pump house was conducted. An
electrical fault in a major feeder line was
discovered. The electrical current to that
line has been shut down and permanently
secured’’.
‘*At this time (April 23), the physical in-
vestigation is still underway and we have
reached no other conclusions. But, we
wish to emphasize there are presently no
hazards to the University community in
that area,’’ the statement concluded.
University officals are expected to
release findings of an investigation in a
press conference, tentatively scheduled for
Thursday. The press conference will pre-
sent findings of both the technical and
overall investigations into the events which
transpired Thursday night.
University President Vincent O’Leary
expressed his sympathy about the incident,

New chancellor focuses
(AP) The next chancellor of the State
University of New York says that one of
his first priorities would be to smooth rela-
tionships between the University and Gov.
Mario Cuomo’s administration, par-
ticularly with regards to budget making.
“I think there needs to be a better rela-
- tionship between SUNY Central ad-
ministration and the Division of Budget
and the way budgets are put together,”’
Buffalo State College President D. Bruce
Johnstone said Friday.
Friction between SUNY and the Cuomo
administration dates back to January,
when Cuomo, in unveiling his 1988-89
budget, blasted University officials for
refusing to volunteer any spending cuts.

Steve Behar said ‘‘It was a moment of

deal with it.’’
Director of Campus Life Jim Doellefeld
said it was ‘‘too premature’’ to determine
whether the incident was going to have an
effect on Greek life on campus, but added
“‘this is certainly going to have an effect on
the Greek community.”’
“‘Any action the University would take
would be driven by the investigation pro-
cess,’” Doellefeld said.
Behar explained that he called several
meetings Thursday night, and it was
snag that all pledging activities should
cease.’
The next day, Vice President of Student
Affairs Mitchel Livingston asked the ex-
ecutive boards of IFC, SUNY Pan
Hellenics, and the Pan Hellenic Associa-
tion to stop all pledging activities, Behar
said.

Johnstone, 47, will be named SUNY
chancellor next Wednesday when the
University’s Board of Trustees meets in
Albany. He will fill the vacancy created
when Clifton Wharton Jr. resigned Feb. 1,
1987, to head a huge New York City-based
pension fund for education professionals.
Wharton announced his resignation in Oc-
tober 1986 and the trustees have been con-
ducting a nationwide search.
SUNY is the nation’s largest cubic
university system, with 64 campuses and
370,000 students.
In January, Cuomo accused University
officials of being selfish and irresponsible
and proposed a nominal funding increase
for SUNY.
Students pay
Higgins tribute
during vigil
By lan Wagreich
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
The SUNYA student body honored
sophomore Bryan Higgins last Friday
night at a candlelight vigil in front of the
small fountain. About 250 Greeks,
students and administrators all gathered
around the fountain to pray and say their
goodbye’s.
Towards the end of the hour, most of
the Greeks embraced in a large circle bet-
ween the small fountain and the large
fountain. The closeness of the Greeks
seemed to promote interfraternal ties and
sympathy for Tau Kappa Epsilon, of
which Higgins was a pledge.
One student who wished to remain
unidentified, seemed to sum it all up by
saying, ‘‘As long as this campus never
forgets this, he won’t have died in vain.”’
Bryan Higgins was killed in Indian
Lake last Thursday. Funeral services
were held in Mahopac, NY, yesterday.
Bryan Higgins has an older brother, a
senior at SUNYA, and a younger brother
who is a senior in high school.
University President Vincent O’Leary
attended the vigil on Friday. ‘‘It was a
meaningful tribute to Bryan,’’ O’Leary
‘said.
“I'd like to acknowledge the work so
many people have done. Lots of people
have come together.”’
Intrafraternity Council President
Steven Behar said, ‘‘It was the first time
I'd seen the whole campus, not just
Greeks, show reaction.”’
Behar said it was unfortunate that the
response came about due to such a
negative situation.
Flags were flown at half-mast on Fri-
day afternoon and will continue to be
flown this way until later this week.

Behar said the University is conducting
an investigation of TKE, and that the
Judicial Board of IFC is also conducting
an investigation. This is an automatic pro-
cess, Behar explained. ‘‘Anytime anything
happens, there is an investigation,’’ he
said.
‘I had big plans for Greeks,’’ Behar
said. ‘‘Greek Week had put us at a high ...
it puts a damper on the Greeks. I’d like to
see Greeks come back strong in the fall,
through both social and community
service.””

kind of thinking from state government.’’
Cuomo at one point suggested that his
own Director of Operations and Chief
Education Aide, Henrik Dullea, might be
a good candidate for the prestigious
chancellorship.
Johnstone declined comment on
Cuomo’s statements and would only say,
‘‘T plan to work well with the Governor.”’
But in February, Johnstone was quoted
as saying that Cuomo’s attacks made him
‘“‘unhappy.”’

NEWS BRIEFS
The World
Citizens strike
Tripoli, Lebanon
(AP) Tripoli was brought to a standstill
Thursday as citizens went on strike to pro-
test the nation’s worst car bombing in
three years. The death toll in the blast rose
to 70.
Police said 100 people remained
hospitalized following Saturday’s blast in
a crowded vegetable market in this nor-
thern port city.
A man wounded in the explosion in the
low-income Tabbaneh district died early
Thursday, increasing the total number of
dead to 70.
Schools, shops, cafes, restaurants,
cinemas, banks and other businesses were
closed today. throughout Lebanon’s se-
cond largest city, whose 850,000 people are
predominantly Sunni Moslem.
The strike, on the second day of a
48-hour period of public mourning, was
called by city leaders.
Radiation feared
Moscow
(AP) Kiev residents who get a mysterious
ache or pain are apt to grasp for the easy
explanation — radiation from Chernobyl.
Such is one of the lingering scars of the
world’s worst nuclear accident: a fear of
what long-term health problems will result
from the explosion and fire two years ago
at the Chernobyl nuclear plant, 80 miles
north of Kiev, the Ukrainian capital.
A Kiev resident, speaking during a
Moscow visit on condition of anonymity,
said some people blame everything from
headaches to toothaches on radiation from
Chernobyl. This is despite the govern-
ment’s repeated assurances that radiation
levels in the region are normal and safe.
Doctors in accident-affected regions are
spending most of their time ‘‘combating
radiophobia,’’ the government newspaper
Izvestia reported in February.
A Soviet pediatrician said last August
that more than 2,000 healthy children were
born to mothers who lived around Cher-
nobyl during the April 26, 1986 disaster,
which killed 31 people and spewed a cloud
of radioactivity worldwide.
Soviet production up
Moscow
(AP) Soviet industrial production increas-
ed by 5 percent in the first three months of
1988 as reforms requiring many factories
and firms to operate on a self-sustaining
basis went into effect, Radio Moscow said
Thursday. Be
The official radio said Nikolai Belov,
deputy head of the State Committee on
Statistics, reported the production increase
exceeded the 4.5 percent target set in state
plans.
However, it said ‘‘production targets
have not been met as regards a number of
major commodities, and the quality of
many of the goods is still substandard.”’
The brief report did not specify the pro-
blem areas of the economy or areas of
success. ;
The Natioa’®
Train strikes tot
Mulberry Grove, II.
(AP) A 17-month-old boy was hit by a
train as he crawled on railroad tracks near
his home, authorities said.
Jeremy Lee Gerard, son of Ronald L.
and Pamela Gerard of this rural south-
central Illinois community, was pronounc-
ed dead at the scene Sunday, said Fayette
County Coroner Angie May-Bolin.
State police said the baby was hit as ne
crawled toward a westbound Conrail mail
train that was traveling about 70 mph. The
train, with three engines and 35 cars, was
en route from Plainfield, Ind., to St.
Louis, state police said.
Engineer Thomas B. Bridgegroom, 47,
of Danville, Ind., apparently applied the
brakes when he saw the baby, said Deputy
Coroner Jesse Miller.
The death remained under investigation,
he said.
Paint fire spreads

a paint store and spread to four other
buildings, injuring 10 people, including

five firefighters, authorities

The State
Greenway proposed
_ Tarrytown
(AP) A citizens task force on Sunday urg-
ed the state to create a protected greenway
from New York City to the foothills of the
Adirondacks to protect the natural,
cultural and historic resources of the Hud-
son River Valley.
‘The history of the Hudson River
Valley has been glorious, but its future is
shadowed,’’ said Laurence S. Rockefeller
in the introduction to the 48-page report
prepared by the task force. ‘‘Our challenge
is to achieve the balance of retaining the
cultural and natural values of the valley
and providing for essential economic
growth. Our opportunity lies in forging a
unique public-private partnership and us-
ing it to secure the best of all possible
futures for the valley.”
The task force’s report was the result of
Gov. Mario Cuomo’s 1988 State of the
State message, which called for the crea-
tion of a Hudson River Valley Greenway
as ‘‘a chain of parks, open space and trails
from New York City to the foothills of the
Adirondacks’’ which could serve as a na-
tional model.
The 170-mile stretch ‘‘would be the
largest in the state and perhaps in the
country,’’ said Richard Halverson, presi-
dent of Historic Hudson Valley, which
published the report.
Milfoil spreads
Lake George
(AP) An aquatic weed isn’t growing as
densely in Lake George as was feared, but
it is spreading and reviving a controversy
over how best to eradicate the unwanted
growth.
An interim report on Eurasian milfoil
growth in Lake George was released this
week by the State Department of En-
vironmental Conservation, causing both
sides in a two-year dispute to point to the
study as support for their arguments.
On one side are local agencies and
citizen groups which support the use of the
herbicide Sonar to kill the milfoil, a weed
discovered in the lake in 1985.
Sonar supporters fear that milfoil will —
_ spread throughout Lake George, which at-
tracts more than a million visitors each
summer.

City cleans up
A citywide cleanup program was an-
nounced last Thursday by the city of
Albany. The cleanup, called ‘‘Project
Pride,”’ hopes to promote efforts in anti-
litter, recycling, anti-grafitti, and
beautification.
The program is being supported by the
Vulcan Development and Management
Corporation, the Albany-Colonie
Chamber of Commerce, Capital City
Renaissance Corporation, the Center for
Economic Growth, neighborhood
associations, merchant groups, and
Albany Public Schools.
Mayor Thomas M. Whalen III said it is
important that the city take a leadership
role and we are excited by the
community-wide support already
demonstrated.
Plans will soon be announced for
recycling, waste removal and beautifica-
tion, according to George Nealon, Com-
missioner of Public Works.
Dane spirit
A new athletic banner is now hanging
in the campus center, announcing the
team, opponent, time, and date of all
home sporting events, according to
Forest Cotten, ACIA chair.
This is the first of a series of im-
provements for the athletic program in
SUNYA. ‘In addition, there will be
posters on all the boards announcing the
same thing,’’ Cotten. said.
The banner was made by the Dane
Psyche Squad, who now call themselves
the Purple Rage Spirit Committee, accor-
ding to Cotten. _
Over the summer, freshmen will be
recruited for additional athletic im-
provements to begin in the fall, Cotten
said.
Dedication delayed
Dedications for the Chapel House have
been delayed until next September, ac-
cording to Carol Needleman, a staff
member of Chapel House.
Originally the dedication was set for
this May but because of delays, the
building’s completion will be set back.
‘*The building just isn’t ready yet. The
structure is being finished,’’ Needleman
said. :
This will be a general dedication of the
community for the Chapel House. In ad-
dition, there will be a separate dedication
of the Jewish-Christian groups to the
sanctuary, said Needleman.
‘*It’s 2 beautiful building,’’
Needieinan remarked. The tentative date
is set for Thursday, September 22.
Chapel House is still asking students to
help purchase chairs to furnish the new
building with donations from $5 to $50.
Prof. receives grant
The National Research Council of the
Brazilian ministry of education awarded
a grant of $50,000 to SUNYA professor
Brian F. Head, for the research and
preparation of a linguistic atlas of Sao
Paulo, Brazil.
According to a press release by Univer-
sity Relations, Head is the director of the
Portugese program in the Department of
Hispanic and Italian Studies. He said the
study of dialect geography is important
both for understanding modern speech
and language change.
Head started the work in 1986-87, dur-
ing a sabbatical leave. Data gathering,
phonetic transcription and preparation
of dialect maps is provided for in the pre-
sent grant. The Atlas is planned for
publication in 1991.

Chapel House offers group talks
Counseling services available for friends of Higgins
By Colleen Deslaurier
NEWS EDITOR
Chapel House will be working with Mid-
dle Earth this week by of fering counselling
ser vices for friends of Bryan Higgins.
According to Carol Needleman from
Chapel House, ‘‘since this is a terrible tra-
jedy in the university community,” group
discussion will be offered this week on the
quads.
Needleman said Chapel House will be
working with residential assistants for
these discussions.
“‘There’s a need [for students] to vent
their feelings,’’ Needleman said. ‘“‘They
feel numb and depressed.’
The purpose of these discussions is for
students to ‘‘talk freely, and informally,”
Needleman said.
In addition, the religious and spiritual
dimensions will be offered for those in-
terested students, Needleman said.
“People are not able to grieve,”
Needleman said, adding these discussions
“‘can at least start the process.”’
Needleman siad that many students are
indirectly and/or directly affected by the
trajedy because ‘‘his life was cut short.’’
Students are always welcome to come by

Fraternity fights result in campus ban
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — A running
war between two fraternities has convinced
Indiana University to cancel all dorm
social events for the rest of the school year.
IU Dean of Students Michael Gordon
last week said scuffles and rumors of plan-
ned future fights between members of
Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi at
some scheduled mixers and dances led him
to distribute a memo to dorm advisers say-
ing that ‘‘all activities are to be cancelled in
order to preserve the safety of others.”
;| Extra LC’s

STAFF WRITER
Students who tend to burn the midnight
oil during finals will be able to burn it in
more places this semester.
According to Educational Affairs Direc-
tor James Dietz, ‘“The LCs open for finals
will be comparabie to those open for
midterms. For the midtermsLCs 2, 19, 21,
22, and 24 were opened.”’
Dietz said he has been fighting for this
expanded space ‘‘for a long while without
making much progress,’’ and added he
also showed administrators how inade-
quate the study space was. ‘‘It is totally in-
adequate for 11,000 people. After 11 p.m.
there are 590 individual spaces and 360 for
groups for a total of 950.”
There are 6200 students on-campus and
4800 off-campus, explained Dietz. The
majority of these spaces are on the quads.
Physics rooms 115 and 116 are open 6 p.m.
to 9 p.m. and hold 30 people. Other
space...LC19can hold 100 people.
Study space is more of a problem for off-
campus people. |
“Once we proved to them that not
enough space was available the [agreed].
The university is providing more space flat

The LCs will be maintenanced prior to
10 p.m. ‘‘We’ve done our part to keep
things clean . . . signs say ‘Please clean up
after yourself? on LC doors,’’ Dietz said.
According to Dietz, the only LC open
for late night study not during finals or
midterms is LC19. Dietz hopes that by
having more LCs open, people can be
more dispersed. ‘“Too many people in an
LC will make it obviously noisy.’

Doddo reflects on 1987-88
By Jackie Silver
STAFF WRITER:
While Matt Doddo says he ‘‘is
very depressed’’ about leaving the
Student Association presidency,
he adds that he plans on continu-
ing his SA involvement, resting,
and finishing up school.
Doddo said because he had to
decrease his schedule due to his
position he will be graduating in
December 1988.
“Although my social life was
cut down and I couldn’t go out
much, I still met a lot of new
friends,’? Doddo said.
Being an administration
spokesperson for the students,
Doddos duties basically included
running the office, working out
issues, and making sure Central
Council meetings were held every
week.
When asked what he has ac-
complished this year, Doddo said
“I don’t look at it as ac-
complishments, I look at it as
things that had to be done we all
worked together to get the job
done.”’
The main success of his
presidency was building a
stronger relationship with the ad-
ministration, Doddo said, adding
he accomplished this by meeting
with the administration and being
able to gain a neutral trust with
one another.
_ “Overall, I feel that we have
built a positive trust with them
and made it easier for us to ap-
proach the administration with
problems,’’ Doddo said.
In the past, the relationship
that SA and the administration
had with one another was an-
tagonistic, according to Doddo.
More freshmen were involved
in SA this year, Doddo said. ‘‘We
want to handle them in the right
way, try to help them, talking to
them, making sure they unders-
tand we care,’’ Doddo said.
Overall, Doddo said, a lot of
the weaknesses of SA were
strengthened this year.
SA provided different events
and programs this year concern-
ing the purpose of SA, Doddo
said. ‘‘We want the students to
understand what the Student
Association is there for,’’ Doddo
said.
‘“‘These are not my ac-.

work,’’ Doddo said, adding that
“I see SA going into a good
direction,’? Doddo said, adding

In the last few days of his

lobbying around the Campus
Center with a pair of crutches.
According to Doddo, his foot
swelled up last week and so he
went to the emergency room on

At the emergency room, Dod-

meeting because of it.
“It’s hard to get around,’’
Doddo said, however he quickly

Doddo said he would be on
crutches for about four to five
more days.
“I’m concerned about him,’’

Harrison plans to work with charity, fraternity —
By Cheryl Markowitz
STAFF WRITER
Steve Harrison, 1987-88 Student
Association Vice President, will soon
resume the life of a ‘‘normal’’ student
when newly elected VP Fern Cohen takes
office.
Harrison is presently a junior majoring
in Economics and plans on graduating
next year.
‘*Student Association puts many
students off course with school work.
When I graduate I plan on going either to
graduate school for public administration
or getting a job in the financial banking
field or in banking,”’ Harrison said.
*“Next year I don’t plan on working with
Student Association directly. I am going to’
be working with the University Senate. I
am on the Student Affairs Council. I am
also on OCA next year.’’
Harrison is also on the University Aux-
iallary Service Board of Directors, the
governing body for the U.A.S.

-Ghanges proposed in course,
teacher evaluation system
By Hope Singe
STAFF WRITER :
The options concerning Student Course
and Teacher Evaluations [SCATE] are still
being considered by various groups on
campus.
SCATE is a published compilation of
course and teacher evaulations that are
completed by students at the end of
courses.
The Educational Policy council of the
University Center [EPC] has been ap-
proached by the Student Association with
a reconfirmation of a policy concerning
teacher evaluations of a policy made in
1980, according to Eric Leiberman Chair
of Academic Affairs Committee. .
At issue is the student evaluations
themselves. In a memo issued by the Com-
mittee on Evaluations Policy, the EPC, as
well as University Senate and the office of
Academic Affairs have stated that ‘<all
students shall be given the opportunity to
make an evaluation in every class each
term.”’
Lieberman said that what should be
reconfirmed is that policy stating that all
teachers and courses must be evaluated,
whether the teacher has tenure or not.
According to Lieberman, this policy is
basically concerned with teachers who
already have tenure. This gives the Univer-
sity the opportunity to reevaluate their
classes.
Lieberman added that the main reason
for the policy is so SA can publish
SCATE.
In the past they have tried to publish the
evaluations and failed because it is hard to
~ evaluate classes. Professors and students
don’t want to be bothered, Lieberman
said.
- Lieberman said he feels the reason for
this reconfirmation is two-fold, first being
it is felt that the class evaluations are
necessary to make teachers more aware of
improvements that can be made.
Secondly, SA can utilize the information
from the publication of SCATE.
SCATE can only be effective if the EPC
agrees to add the reconfimation, Lieber-
man said.
Educational Affairs -Director James
Dietz went to EPC in order to get a recon-
firmation, Lieberman said.
The memo suggested enhancing ‘‘the
value of SIRF [the rating form] and other
rating forms by encouraging students to
submit anonymous written comments
which identify the strengths and
_ weaknesses of each course and each in-
structor.”’ Such a method, the memo ex-
plained, would make teacher evaluations
more valuable. fa

New Paltz president looking into
new position at University of lowa
(AP) Alice Chandler, president of the Col-
lege at New Paltz of the State University of
New York, will visit the University of Iowa
this week as another candidate for the
school’s presidency, officials said.
Samuel Becker, head of the university
committee seeking a replacement for
former President James O. Freedman, said
Monday that Ms. Chandler will be on cam-
pus Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Freedman left last summer to become
president of Darthmouth College in New
Hampshire.
Ms. Chandler, president of the New
York college since 1980, becomes the sixth
candidate for the university position.
In December, the search committee
recommended Frances Horowits, vice
chancelor at the University of Kansas, and
Nils Hasselmo, provost at the University
of Arizona, to the state Board of Regents
as finalists for the job. The regents asked
the committee to renew the search and ad-
ded interim U of I president Richard D.
Remington to the list.
Hasselmo later withdrew his name from
consideration.
The other candidates who visited the
campus this month as part of the renewed
search were Steven Cahn, provost at the
City University of New York; Kenneth
R.R. Gros Louis, vice president at Indiana
University; and Hunter R. Rawlings III,
vice president at the University of
Colorado.
Becker has said the committee plans to
make its recommendations to the Regents
by mid-May. In re-opening the search in
December, the Regents asked ‘for at least
five names to consider.
Ms. Chandler received her doctoral and
master’s degrees from Columbia Universi-
ty. She was acting university provost of the
State University of New York from June
to October of 1985 and served as acting
president of the City College of New York
in 1979-80. She taught English at City Col-
lege of New York from 1961 to 1980.
The College at New Paltz, located 75
miles nort of New York City, is a liberal
arts and science college of the state univer-
sity system with 7,625 students. LC]
Strange crimes reported at universities
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — An odd crime
wave washed over two campuses the last
week in March.
At the University of Pennsylvania,
police arrested two students who took a
$20,000 Zamboni — the strange-looking
machine that resurfaces ice rinks — for a
five-block joy ride.
And at the University of Texas at
Austin, police charged the grandson of a
campus legend with stealing a page of
Albert Einstein’s handwritten notes from a
locked display in a UT building. |
The notes, apparently written by the
‘great physicist in the early 1950’s, may
have been worth ‘‘a couple of thousand
dollars,’? estimated UT librarian John
Chalmers.
Acting on a tip, police recovered the
page in the off-campus apartment of
Samuel K. Royal, 18, grandson of former
Texas football coach and athletic director
Darrell Royal.
Penn officials, meanwhile, are trying to
calculate how much damage the two
students — whose names have not been
released to the public — did to the ice
resurfacing machine in their joyride.
Rink Manager Jill Maser, however,
stressed she intends to press charges
against the students.
‘*This is no joke,’ Maser said, ‘‘and the
people who did this are in big trouble.’’ (1

responsive...”’
Truckin’, 12/85
“After 5,000 miles of daily abuse, the Samurai re-
quired no maintenace other than the typical oil

back to the dealer, zero warranty work and zero
time lost waiting for repairs.”’

Colouring the airwaves with Icehouse
ustralian band Icehouse’s newest
A release, Man of Colours, has cur-
rently been floating about
somewhere in the 50’s of Billboard’s Hot
100 chart; and, while the band’s product
may fall just short of the art-pop of
Squeeze or the crisp edge of 'til Tuesday,
their melodic sound is a welcomed listen
among airwaves infected by flacid bands
like Starship and Cutting Crew. And one
thing’s for sure: their hit singles like
“Crazy” or the more recent “Electric Blue”
are certainly taking the Top 40 by storm.
Danielle M. Gagnon
“Man otf Colours really captures
everything we've been trying to do for a
long, long time,” said Icehouse guitarist
Bob Kretschmer, speaking recently bet-
ween gigs in a Denver hotel room about
the impressive evolution of his band.
“things have all come together now.”
Man of Colours marks Icehouse’s third
album. Aside from Kretschmer, other band
members are guitarist/keyboardist/'<ad
vocalist Iva Davies, keybcardist/pianist An-
dy Qunta, Simon Lloyd on horns and
keyboards, bassist Stephen Morgan, and
percussionist Paul Wheeler.
“Icehouse, as we know it, formed
around 1981,” recalled Kretschmer. “Iva
Davies toured extensively in the U.S. with
a band called ‘Flowers’, whose album was
called Icehouse. But they broke up, and Iva
wrote all the material for Primitive Man,
and then formed the present band around
’ that material.
“The next album, Measure for Measure,
was fairly eclectic, having influences far
and wide. We played a small, ‘showcase
tour’ for that album, and last year we open-
ed for The Cars just prior to their break.
But our previous albums weren't nearly as
coherent as the new album.
“Man of Colours is doing really well —
right now it’s in the high fifties on
Billboard. the first single, ‘Crazy’, got to 14
on the pop charts, and descended with an
anchor or something,” Kretschmer laugh-
ed. “and the new single, ‘Electric Blue’, just
broke into the Top 20. We've tentatively
chosen our third single, but right now it’s a
secret!”
One person who was impressed by
Icehouse is seventies pop veteran John
Oates (of Hall and Oates fame), who gave
some artistic counsel as well as studio con-
tributions to the new album. Oates co-
wrote “Electric Blue” with Davies, and one
can pick up the similarity of it’s sweet, cat-
chy hooks to Hall and Oates’ decade-ago
hit “Rich Girl” or 1982's “Can’t Go For
That (No Can Do)”.
“A long time ago, in 83 or ‘84, we were
promoting the Primitive Man Ip, said
Kretschmer, “and Hall and Oates were do-
ing a tour down in Australia, and we met
them. Later, Iva ran into Oates at an air-
port, and they said, ‘Hey, let’s write some
songs together!”, and that’s how it came
about. Oates came down to Australia and
worked with us for a couple of weeks,
playing keyboards and such. He helped us
write “Electric Blue’, and another song that
never appeared on the album.”
Color is the vibrant, splashy theme of
thought prevalent on the album — on the
title track (of course), the new single, and
other tracks as well. This is reflected by the
attractive, streamlined cover art, done
- completely in primary colors by Davies
and Kretschmer.
‘Iva and myself did the album’s cover,”
said Kretschmer. “It's pretty minimal! We
wanted to do something with colors,
almost like a charicature of the title track.
It’s really naive, almost like a child’s draw-
ing of a man’s face.”
Perhaps a part of Icehouse’s current suc-
cess is due to the explosion of the populari-
ty of Australian bands in the eighties, like
Men at Work and INXS.
“Our success is owed to both music and
luck,” said Kretschmer. “We can’t deny
that there’s an interest in Australian bands
at the moment. But, also, there’s the suc-
cess of Peter Gabriel, and | think that
Icehouse somehow fits into that category.
Anyway, I think that we're different
enough to be our own feature now, as
ourselves.
“The thing that’s different about
Australia is that we don’t have an establish-
ed recording industry. Most of our recor-
ding commitments are made from
overseas, so, because of the population, not
too many Australian musicians can support
themselves just on the Australian market.
But Icehouse has a pretty high profile in
Australia — Man of Colours was the big-
gest selling album there last year.
“The other thing that’s different about
australia is that we have a much healthier
live scene. I guess, even New York now
doesn’t have too many places where live
bands are playing. On most nights of the
week in Australia, there are just hundred
of places you can go to see cover bands,
bands doing their own material,
everything,” Kretschmer noted.
‘It's easy to be cynical about the
American music scene, but at this point I’m
not cynical of anything. I would say that
I’m still looking at it and learning from it. |
think that it influences a whole lot of peo-
ple, and goes too far that way . . . so, I

Nice guys can finish first
posed to finish last, Jay Leno is an
exception. A noteworthy excep-
tion to an axiom which has come to rule
the best and worst of businesses.
Leno’s business is comedy. And, despite
the facts that he really is one of the nicest
guys you could ever hope to meet and is
also one of the hottest properties on the
comedic front today, he tries not to take
his funny business too seriously.
April S. Anastasi
He wound up in comedy, though accor-
ding to Leno, it was not among whatever
childhood ambitions he may have had.
l na world where nice guys are sup-
Therefore, it wasn’t something that he ~
always wanted, or had a burning desire, to
do.
“T was really not that far-sighted a child, |
don’t think. I mean, I didn’t — I still don’t
know. Actually, I don’t know. I like doing
this,” he said during an interview prior to
an appearance in Atlantic City.
‘IT came from a small town in New
England, so I always assumed I’d be some
kind of gregarious salesman. You know,
tell jokes and things like that,” Leno ex-
plained. “When I was in college, I used to
work in strip joints, do the talent shows,
and that kind of stuff, but it wasn’t
something you thought of in terms of mak-
ing a living.”
At this point, Leno laughed and leaned
back in his chair. He then revealed the
source of his laughter through his descrip-
tion of one particular “strip joint” where
patrons wore lighted hats as if they were in
a mine.
“Even now,” he continued, “seriously,
when I go back home, people say, ‘Well,-I
guess, uh, what are you gonna do when
this starts to slow down? Like I should get a
job as a lumberjack.”
What began as a budding romance dur-
ing his days at Boston’s Emerson College
eventually blossomed into a full-blown
love affair as well as quite a lucrative
career. Since being signed as the perma-
nent guest host of NBC’s “The Tonight
show,” Leno has had his first television
variety special, has been getting set for his
feature film debut in Collision Course, and
continues to make frequent appearances all
over the country at small clubs and at large
theatres like Proctor’s in Schenectady.
Treating his success as a fluke, Leno
recalled, “Well, it’s just the kind of thing
where I was doing it in college, making a
few extra bucks. When I got out of college,
I was single and didn’t have any expenses,
and I said let me just see how long | can
keep doing this before I have to get a
regular job. Again, it wasn’t something you
thought of in terms of making a career out
2 at
It has turned into quite a career, just the
same. His early work at various clubs paid
off in more ways than one — he met his
wife, Mavis Nicholson Leno, in one of the
comedy clubs. f
“She’s a writer. She’s writing for TV
right now and working on a book,” he said.
She doesn’t do any writing specifically
for him (“Not in terms of writing
material”), but Leno likes to use her as a
sounding board for new jokes. “I run stuff
by her. I'll say ‘Do you think this is funny?’
or ‘Is this appropriate?’ or ‘Does this sound
sexist?’ or ‘Is this whatever.’ I mean, she’s
got a good ear.”
Reluctant to refer to her as his “best au-
dience,” a phrase which makes him uncom-
fortable in the fact that it sounds like he’s
“on” 24 hours a day, Leno continued in a
vein which reveals the great deal of respect
he holds in Mavis’ opinion.
“Well, I mean, I don’t go to bed with a
plaid jacket and a straw hat and squirt
water on her and stuff like that,” he said
with a smile in his voice. “It’s not one of
those. I'll just say I trust her judgement. So,
it’s not a matter of — I don’t make her sit
down and listen to 30 minutes of material.
I'll say, ‘Honey, do you like this? Does this
sound stupid? Does this sound real? You
know, like that.”
‘ According to Leno, the percentage of his
own material which he writes is very high.
“Niney-nine percent. You know, a lot of
times other comics will say, ‘Hey, Jay, that
tag you have on the thing — why don’t
you try this,’ or ‘Here's an idea maybe you
can use.’ So, I mean, no, not one hundred
percent, but you tend to give away as
much as you've taken in,” he explained.
Much of Leno’s early television ex-
posure came from his guest spots on Late
Night with David Letterman. Holding the
distinction of being the person who has
been Letterman’s most frequent guest,
Leno won't allow his myriad of new pro-
jects to interfere with his plans to continue
appearing on Late Night.
“Oh, sure, I'll do Letterman. | like doing
the Letterman show because it’s different,”
Leno revealed. “See, I can do the stuff on
Letterman that I can’t do on The Tonight
Show. I mean, it’s different when you're
the host, you set the mood for the evening.
So, if you come out and you're yelling, and
you seem to be upset about something,
that’s fun for five minutes. I don’t think
anyone wants to see that attitude for an
hour. |
“Se, obviously, when you host, the
show is yours, you tend to be a little
more . . . conservative. When I’m on
Letterman’s show, I can come out and rant
and rave and then leave.”
Another well-known rant-and-raver on
Letterman’s show is regular Chris Elliott,
who has a mean Jay Leno impersonation in
his repertoire.
Leno recalled the first time he saw
Elliott’s characterization and remembered
himself “laughing — it’s very funny.
“I was just watching the show one night
— I saw the show on and I heard Letter-
man mention my name, and then |
thought, ‘Oh, this must be a repeat.’
Because from a distance, it looked like me.
Then I said, ‘Oh, it’s just Elliott.’ I thought it
was very funny,” Leno laughed.
Described as a comedy/adventure,
Leno’s film is entitled Collision Course and
co-stars Pat Morita.
“It’s something a little different. It’s a cop
movie — hey, there’s a switch,” Leno ex-
claimed, his voice tinged with irony. “I
play a Detroit cop and Pat plays a Japanese
cop; and he’s investigating a theft of some
Japanese engine technology, and I’m in-
vestigating a murder. We keep bumping
into each other. It kind of goes from there,
you know?”
While Leno has had other offers, he
maintained that “I like being a comedian.
Movies are okay. There’s nothing wrong
with it, but I like doing what I'm doing. I'll
see how this movie looks and if it’s good,
and it’s a hit, I'll go on with it.”
In light of this, one might wonder what
kinds of long-range goals a person like Jay
Leno might have. :
“None, I don’t have any,” he said in all
seriousness.
None?!?
“No. I don’t even know what I’m doing
on The Tonight Show tomorrow. No,” he
chuckled, turning it into a joke, “I don’t
make any Stalin five-year mini week plans
or anything.”
“You think of jokes, and you go out and
you tell them. That's really all the business
is about. You know, you come up with
jokes and you walk out and you say ‘em. |
_always get annoyed at performers, ‘Well I
- want to have this by 1991 and so and so ©
forth by 19 . . . ’ You know, what hap-
pens, happens. If you just do your job, you
just do what you're supposed to do, which
is come up with jokes, the rest, really take
care of themself.”
And it has for Jay Leno, who’s proof-
positive that nice guys don’t always finish
last. O

at Proctor’s Theatre in Schenectady on
Thursday, April 28 )
Self Protection
He clasps it tigthtly in his hand,
a hard rubber ball:
red and moist with the stains of fresh blood,
coated with sweat and saliva.
In darkened bedrooms,
or the backrooms of bars,
in places like this he squeezes it tightly
dripping its thick juices
on naked legs and soiled clothing,
feeding the innocent.
When it runs dry
he puts it in his mouth
to suck and roll
from cheek to cheek,
with the hard slap of a hand against rubber,
the brick wall responds
in that darkened bedroom.
Bleed for the hard rubber ball,
nursing the dry well of courage
Bleed for it because it loves you.

would be reticent to criticize it.”
Although Icehouse hails from Down
Under, their music is quite different from
fellow Aussie bands like Midnight Oil,
who are penning political songs about giv-
ing land back to the Aborigines; Kreschmer
readily admits that, chances are, you won't
hear a song like that from Icehouse.
“Our songs are pop songs”, he said,
“they're good pop songs. | always liked
pop songs, anyhow — I like a group witha
good ‘hook’. We grew up with Squeeze,
Bowie, and Roxie Music. A good pop song
sounds good, and that is all that I require
out of music.
Icehouse doesn’t get too indulgent, we're
very subtle about what we do. There are
various bands that get involved with the
political thing, or other causes, but music
doesn’t seem like a good platform to work
those things from. It makes people aware
of things, but for some reason they get lost.
It becomes confusing, especially when the
cause goes, and the band has to find
another.”
Whatever the band’s “philosophy,” their
music works for what it is — and that’s all
that the pop audience will require out of
them. After completing the U.S. tour, the
band will play some dates in Europe, and
then return to Australia, “to see if we car
make another interesting album.” Oo

across the crowded room. :
Through naked legs he crawls

If a Tree Falls...
Nature is both an individual and a
national resource. An escape into the
wilderness provides a much-needed
contrast to the daily grind of the
‘‘civilized’’ world. After a weekend spent
at SUNYA’s own Camp Dippikill, the
prospect of one more week of hard work
is much less depressing. We are, however,
taking for granted the very trees, lakes,
and rivers that we so enjoy.
A vast amount of this country’s wildlife
is being slowly destroyed by acid rain.
Environmentalists have been warning the
public for years about the imminent
danger presented by this type of pollution.
Mach -of: the-effort di tihe
environmentalists has been wasted on a
public that doesn’t perceive acid rain to be
a great problem.
Contributing to public indifference is
the feeling that acid rain only effects far-
off, unused forest land. This is not the
case.
Much of the destruction has occurred in
public access recreational areas such as the
Adirondack State Park, one of New
York’s most aesthetically pleasing tourist
spots.
Furthermore, a new study has linked
acid rain to nitrogen-poisoning along the
Eastern Seaboard. The New York coastal
areas, including the Long Island Sound, -
have suffered great losses in ocean life.
Despite the losses, the general public has
not made solving the acid rain problem a
top priority.
Profiting the most from the
indifference of the public is industry. In
order to avoid costs of cleaning emissions,
the industrial sector has invested in
powerful lobbying organizations that
work against stricter air pollution laws.
The Reagan administration has been
_ effectively lobbied by the industry groups;
attempts by Congress to provide increased
air pollution protection have been actively
opposed by the administration. Reagan’s
hands-off industry posture is, in this case,
endangering the health of the environment
as well as the population of this country.
The effects of acid rain produced by
American industry are not confined to the
United States. It has become a sore spot In
relations with one of this country’s allies.
Over 50 percent of the acid rain
pollution in Canada is caused by factors in
the U.S. Canadian officials are faced with
losses in several of their strongest
industries, such as lumber and fishing.
Strains in U.S.-Canada relations are
worsening, yet the Reagan administration
remains unyielding.
While the acid rain problem is but one
of the points to be addressed at the
upcoming summit between President
Reagan and Canadian Prime Minister
Mulroney, hopefully it will play a large
enough part to result in some reform.
Regardless, it is inevitable that industry
will have to change their emissions
policies. For now, they have to sink their
money into lobbying against pollution
control.
This is a classic example of ignoring the
long term for the sake of the short term.
The same money that is used to staff and
support a lobbying organization could be
invested elsewhere as the first step toward
a responsible policy on emissions control.
_ The air pollution situation gets worse
every year. Eventually, industry and/or
the government will have to respond.
Time is of the essence — we can’t afford
to wait for eventualities. Unlike many of
the assets used in the power plays of
business and government, nature cannot
be replaced or rebuilt. The children of our
children deserve better. :
Crisis causes caring
Last week many who attend this university learned two
of life’s most painful lessons, lessons that cannot be
taught in a classroom. These were that pain and suffering
are not limited to the starving, diseased, and elderly, and
that the strength of youth that holds so much weight in
’ the areas of promise and potential, carries no guarantee
of immortality. I shall not speak of the accident that
wrongly stole Bryan Higgin’s life. My intent is to make
clear what the aftermath was, as well as to express my
respect for those who handled themselves well and my
contempt for those who did not.
Michael Andrews
This is a university made up of leaders, both student
and administrative. Often it is the belief of the student
leaders, be they rights advocates, reformers, or revolu-
tionaries, that the university as machine-like entity is anti-
student; that the administration is something that needs
to be fought against. Many times it seems all too clear
that the administration has lost touch with the students;
that they have no grasp of the student’s needs and wants.
In spite of all this, the SUNYA administration should
be commended for their handling of this tragedy. It
would have been very easy for the administration to at-
tempt to lay blame with any number of others, i.e. the
Greek System. However, they stood strongly behind their
students, taking only just and proper action. At a time of
great crisis, they did not ask for great and over-riding
concessions. For all those who have found constant fault
with those who run our school, please give credit where
credit is due, and deserved.
While the University was diligent in its information
gathering and disseminating, carefully avoiding specula-
tion and concentrating only on facts, the local news
media proved to be an inconsiderate, uncaring, wrongly
informed, totally speculative, over-generalizng body of
unprofessionalism. In fact, it was the ASP, a paper that
many, including myself, have found great fault with in
the past, that did far and away the most respectable and
journalistically credible job of reporting the accident.
How dare someone with the power of the media make
uneducated guesses as to an event of such magnitude? All
of the stabs in the dark that the local television
mouthpieces spoke of were discredited within one day of
their airing. All of their guesswork answer-making would
have been better kept to themselves. Never was I more
pleased than upon discovering that the station that made
the most outrageous claim, one so slanderous I refuse to
convey it, was flooded with phone calls critizing their
shoddy reporting, especially when all their clever ideas
about what ‘‘might’’ have happened were proven, in a
word, wrong.
The university refused to play this game. They have
more respect for themselves and the students involved,
which brings me to my last few points.
All my life at this university, people have told me that
no one cares about anything here. Apathy is the order of
the day and all sorts of community feelings are lost
amidst four identical quads of stone. Well, to all those
who told me this, to all those who feel this way, and to
myself for occasionally believing it, I’d like to say that it
is not true.
On Friday evening, there was a vigil held in the memory
of Bryan Higgins. This candlelight ceremony, although
not publicized with pretty posters and clever slogans, was
very well attended. Why was this? Why were people who
were not Greeks, who did not know Bryan Higgins stan-
ding in the brisk April night holding candles? Why were
so many administrators there among the students they
rule over?
The reason is that our university community internaliz-
ed at this time of crisis. That when students on this cam-
pus saw that others among them were hurting, suffering,
there was a general outcry of support. This network that
sought to give its balancing capability at an unevened
time wasn’t one that had to be enforced. People wanted
to help each other, we all want to make this difficult time
easier if we could. Those who attended the vigil who did
not know Bryan Higgins, did so to let those who did
know that they do not suffer and grieve alone. That
others can feel their pain and will be there to help.
Maybe no one attends every sports event or every pro-
gramming function, but when there was someone hurting
at our University, we felt a need to be there for each
other. People attended to show their respect for other
people’s hurting and to say that they will not hurt alone.
Yet even amidst this display of unity, the local news felt
the need to flash its lights and attempt to take away from
what was taking place. They were unable to. What hap-
pened at the small fountain on Friday night will remain in
the minds of those in attendance always.
No one can understand the feelings of loss felt by many
on this campus. To those more closely affected, we all of-
fer our deepest and genuine sympathies. To those who
handled themselves well and properly, again we thank
them. And to those who did not, we shall not forget. In
this time of crisis, a supportive shoulder and a comforting
hand were more appreciated then an accusing finger.

Telethon letdown
To the Editor:
We are writing this to express our disappointment with
the poor organization of Albany Telethon ’88. However,
before misleading the reader into negative views of
Telethon, it is worth mentioning that Telethon, as an in-
stitution at Albany, stands for a great cause (which is to
raise funds for needy children’s clubs or organizations.)
Last year, for example, it provided proceeds to the Mont
Pleasant Boys Club and the Drakeland Day Care Center.
It has been a yearly event here since 1966 and has
somewhat evolved since then, as noted on page one of the
April 12th issue of the ASP.
For those of you who do not know what the Albany
Telethon is about, it is basically the student talent show
(comedy skits, dance acts, rock bands, auctions, pie in a
select professor’s face, Kazoo Bros., etc.). The admission
fees paid by the audience are sent to the children’s clubs.
This year Telethon raised money, with the Mr. and Ms.
SUNY Albany Contest on March 16th, for the Mont
Pleasant Boys Club and Heartland Club.
Telethon ’88 was supposed to have run their traditional
talent show on Friday, April 15th. Why was it cancelled?
This question resulted in many different answers from
Telethon’s different staff members. Before you conclude
that the entire staff is at fault, Carol Candiano deserves
commendation. Carol was the chair of Telethon this year
and acted well beyond her share of responsibility, such as
taking the time to review an audition. This particular
audition was not only scheduled well in advance, but was
dependent on Telethon’s talent staff members Tom
Laurenson and Cynthia Vargas who failed to appear at
the audition as well as provide audio equipment.
Was Telethon given any publicity for audition acts or
its April 15th show? No and no. The only publicity we
saw was for the body show and for the carnival attraction
in April 12th’s ASP. We were told that the April 15th

show was cancelled because there were not enough acts to
hold up a show. Would this excuse be possible if audition
ads were posted or given some space in the ASP? There is
no excuse why the publicity was so poorly managed. We
aren’t concerned with how busy these staff members are
— everyone is busy these days. If these members
volunteered to join the staff, then there is no excuse for
their neglecting Telethon.
Also, the communication was so minimal that the ac-
cepted acts were not notified of Telethon’s cancellation
until as late as two days before the expected show. The
performers were notified not by a phone call from a
Telethon staff person but by their anxious phone calls to
Telethon in wonder of when their scheduled performance
time would be. Some of the performers had been working
on their acts for close to a year.
This letter it not meant to put down Telethon nor its en-
tire staff. It is very angering and inexcuseable when a 12
to 15 member group is operated by only a few, rather
_than the whole, due to the lack of caring from people who
volunteered their precious time in the first place. These
negligent volunteers not only contributed to the breaking
of a tradition but let down many of us who worked so
hard at making it the success it has been in the past.
What’s more disappointing is not that the performers
were led down a dead end road, but the proceeds to the
children at Mont Pleasant and Heartland could have been
far greater. Telethon is planning to continue in 1989. For-
tunately, it has now had the experience of having sunk to
a low that it shouldn’t have and that will hopefully re-
mind the entire staff to be more cooperative and organiz-
ed as it looks back on this year. Unfortunately, many of
this year’s performers will not be here next year to per-
form the acts they worked so hard on perfecting for
Telethon ’88.

How ‘bout heat?
To the Editor:
This letter concerns the problem of the heat (or lack of
it) on State Quad. The heat in my low-rise has been shut
off since at least April. I know this to be the case for the
rest of the quad, because I have talked to at least one per-
son from each dorm, and they told me the same thing.
I am addressing this letter to President O’Leary
because I assume he is responsible for the heating policy
in the campus dorms. This month, the nights and early
mornings have been averaging in the 30’s and 40’s; I have
found it very difficult to sleep in these conditions. Mr.
O’Leary, let me remind you that this is Albany, a place
where the students literally celebrate when the
temperature rises above 50 degrees. What are you doing
with this heating money? It’s certainly not going towards
improving the food or hiring competent professors. I’m
sure the students and the parents now touring the campus
would like to hear of this policy.
Well, you may ask, if the rats and other assorted ver-
min on State Quad don’t complain, why should we?
Because the rats aren’t paying the tuition at this fine in-
stitution. If you are practicing to be a New York City
slum-lord, you’re doing a fine job. However, if you are a
University President who cares about the welfare of his
students, you’ll rectify this situation immediately so we
can enjoy the same comforts that students at normal
universities enjoy.

Snow spoils spectacle
To the Editor:
Once again the ASP, along with the students of
SUNYA, instead of listening to reason, turned their noses
up and complained without knowing all the facts. Did
anyone stop to ask why Guinness Day IV was postponed,
‘not cancelled! For those who had not yet awakened by 7
am, Friday, April 15th, it was snowing. Due to the snow,
the administration circle could not be chalked for the
chairs — white chalk doesn’t show up over white snow.
The chairs began to sink into the ground, making for even
more difficulties. For an event of Guinness’ proportion,
we felt it would be disadvantageous to run the event in
35-40 degree weather for a less than overwhelming crowd.
For the students who fell they have been gypped once
again by SA, maybe they could stop and have some com-
passion for those who have spent countless hours for the
last four months preparing for the event. We would like
to thank those students once again for their time. And for
the Senior Class, we would like to invite you to join us in
the fall for a record-breaking extravaganza.

One more line
To the Editor:
I am responding to the lack of organization on the part
of the Senior Class Council for their efforts to give their
class something that is well deserved by all graduates —
Senior Week.
Wednesday was my turn to buy Senior Week tickets.
On the list detailing the schedule for ticket distribution
was the time that I had to be at the LC. It said, ‘‘S-Z...
6-11 p.m.”’ Realizing that people started to line up five
hours in advance last year, I decided to get there early.
I got to the LC by 1 p.m. and found ten people in front
of me waiting. I thought that I was in good shape to get
anything I wanted, but little did I know that mysterious
“tickets to get a ticket’’ were handed out at 9:30 that
morning. |
Since I was about 200 on the waiting list for these
tickets, my chances of getting anything I wanted were
slim. I know there were many people out there who were
in the same position.
To the committee who is suposedly looking out for my
best interests:
First, is there no better way to do this? Why not assign
lottery numbers like the University does for housing?
This way, everyone has the same chances of getting a
good number.
Second, if you start off by doing something one way,
finish by doing it the same way. Looking back on
previous years, the committee should have known that
there would be a mad rush for tickets hours before they
were even going to be sold. Therefore, it should have been
stated on the list that these ‘‘tickets to get a ticket’’ were
going to be handed out on a first-come, first-serve basis,
to give each person an equal chance. Since I have a full-
time internship and I am never on campus, I could only
go by the information (or more appropriately, the misin-
formation) list. .
I understand how difficult it is for a group of a few in-
dividuals to effectively organize a popular and time-
consuming event such as Senior Week. I am sure the
members of the committee tried to put together
something that would cater to all the students of the
senior class. However well-intentioned, their efforts were
not good enough.
The person or persons responsible for the confusion
that marred the fair distribution of Senior Week tickets
should also be responsible for an explanation to the
students. Hopefully, they could shed some light on this
aggravating subject.
A bit of advice for the Senior Class Council of 1989 —
Learn from other people’s mistakes!

Living b
y candle
To the Editor:
When Bryan Higgins died last Thrusday, it was a
tragedy, not only for his family and friends, but for the -
student body as well. The SUNYA students are beginning
to feel their own mortality and that is a difficult thing to
go through at any age. We are all young, too young to
_ die, but at any moment, any one of us could be struck by
a car or electrocuted in a harmless-looking pond. It is a
sobering thought. 2
It makes you think of the opportunities you could miss,
not because you let them go by, but because you may
never have the chance. Bryan never had the chance to do
a lot of things.
Father Jack said we were gathering at the candlelight
service with ‘‘feelings... of loneliness’’. He was right. For
the first time, many of us were considering what effect
our lives have on the world, realizing that it was not
much, and wishing it could be more. In fact, wishing that
we could do more for Bryan and his family than light
candles, send cards, and write essays. We wanted to make
the pain go away.
Death is a frightening thing. It’s not something college
kids should be thinking about. Yet, in a way, we were all
thinking about death this past weekend. How could we
not? A senseless, untimely, tragic death took place on our
campus. Bryan was one-of us.
There is no way that I can help ease the pain that
Bryan’s family and friends must be feeling, other than to
say that I am sorry and that the student body is sorry. But
the candle I burned for Bryan last Friday will remain in
my possession for the rest of my days. It will remind me
to do for others, as well as myself, so that I might have a
bigger, better effect on the world around me. And
whenever I see that candle, I will pray for Bryan, for it
could have been any one of us — even me.

Better radios, sirens on new UPD cars
By Scott Cholewa
STAFF WRITER
As part of a method of
upgrading University Police §
equipment, i
SUNYA recently purchased four @
department’s
new Public Safety vehicles.
SUNY purchasing decides
when and how much will be spent
and are funded by SUNY Albany,
although Public Safety is
recognized as a police depart-
ment, according to a represen-
tative from Public Safety.
According to Officer Dave
Michaels, the four Dodge
Diplomats were bought at a lot in
Mahwah, New Jersey. When ask-
ed how much they cost he was
unable to comment saying ‘‘I’m
really not sure.”’
A Public Safety car usually has
a life expectancy of 85,000 miles
according to Officer Michaels.
However, most go over 100,000
miles.
These new white cars are all
3.18 liter V8 which makes them
even more powerful than the
brown cars, Michaels said.
The new cars are equipped with
electric seats, windows, and
locks.
New Public Safety vehicles.
In addition, new radios, higher
roof bars, and siren packs with a
PA system and air horns are other
options available in the cars.
According to Michaels, the cars
will be used in normal cir-
cumstances anywhere UPD has
jurisdiction. That includes all the
contiguous roads between the
three campuses [uptown, Alumni,
and Draper].
BARNETT UPS
Michaels said that since UPD is
considered a professional police
department, it has a radio net-
work, included in all new cars,
with other police agencies in the
capital district. o

Help your
parents
get through
college.
Just thinking about college tuition is
enough to make most parents break into
But can vou blame them? When you
consider the cost of tuition, books,
dorms—not to mention pizza parties—
you're talking big bucks.
Which is why you should do some
talking. Like telling vour parents about
the Education Loan Programs at
Manufacturers Hanover Trust.
At MH’E not only do we participate
in all three Federally guaranteed loan
programs, but we also work with state
and national agencies and can make
guaranteed loans in all 50 states.
In practically no time at all.
Ina matter of minutes, MHT Student
Loan Processors can program vour
information into our computerized loan-
processing system.
Within 24 hours, the Bank will get a
decision from the Guarantee Agency,
It's that simple. Better still, with MHT
your parents will get all the money they
need from one source. Nae
Example: If your folks need more
money than government sources will
give them, we can offer them tailor-made
payment plans through The Education
Loan Program, Educational Lines of
Credit or Monthly Budget Program and
Pre-Payment Programs that make it
easy for your parents to fund themselves.
(Tae Education Loan Program, Monthly
Budget and Pre-Payment Programs are
offered through the Tuition Plan, a
company of Manufacturers Hanover.)
Once you get a loan from us, vou can
be sure it ll stay with us. Because we've
never sold education loans to other
banks (unless the borrower asked us to).
So if vou need money for school, call
1-800-MHT-GRAD and get yourself
an MHT Education Loan Appl’. ition.
Then when your folks ask you about
tuition, at least you'll have an answer.
“No sweat.”

Smart
Chancellor
<Front Page
*‘My chancellor, my (SUNY)
system and my college is under at-
tack and I think it’s unjustified,”’
Johnstone said. ‘‘Communica-
tion has gotten so bad the budget
process has become like rug sell-
ing in Morocco.”’
Johnstone hasn’t always work-
ed well with his faculty, however,
and his most recent conflict in-
volves an attempt to create a new
arts unit and reassign an instruc-
tor to that unit against his will.
The instructor has filed a
grievance and the case is currently
under arbitration.
As a result of that case, the
campus Faculty Senate has been
considering a motion to censure
Johnstone, a move that would
amount to a vote of no con-
fidence. The possible censure was
to be discussed at a Faculty
Senate meeting a week ago but
was shelved at the last moment
when the panel failed to reach a
quorum.
Furthermore, a subcommittee
of the Faculty Senate recently
charged Johnstone with trying to
bypass the normal practice of
consulting teachers before form-
ing the new unit and also alleged
that the president tried, through
his aides, to discourage faculty
members from testifying at a
closed-door hearing called to in-
vestigate the grievance.
In November 1982, the campus
chapter of the United University
Professions, the union represen-
ting college teachers, voted to
censure Johnstone for trying to
layoff 11 faculty members and
two staff members. The plans for
the layoffs were later dropped.
Nonetheless, Johnstone said
that ‘‘on the whole’’ his relation-
ship with his faculty ‘‘has been
very satisfactory.”’
Of the recent censure effort,
Johnstone called it ‘‘a very
isolated case surrounding a par-
ticular personnel problem.’’ but
he wouldn’t elaborate.
Johnstone has been offered a
salary of about $150,000 a year,
said SUNY Board of Trustees
Chairman Donald Blinken. That
salary would still be considerably
less than the $190,000 paid to the
head of the California State
University system.
However, Johnstone will be
paid more than New York state
Education Commissioner
Thomas Sobol, who was hired a
year ago and is paid $125,000 a
year,
Johnstone, who has been presi-
dent of Buffalo State since 1979,
was chosen from a nationwide
search and Blinken on Friday
described him as an ‘‘educational
statesman’’ who has_ proven
himself as an educator and ad-
ministrator and was_ strongly
familiar with the SUNY system.
‘Bruce met every one of those
tests more closely than anyone
else we measured.”’ Blinken said.
Johnstone, a native of Min-
nesota, spent two years as an ad-
ministrative assistant to
Democrat Walter Mondale when
he was in the U.S. Senate.
Johnstone later was an ad-
ministrator at the University of
Pennsylvania before coming to
Buffalo State as president.

AIDS testing slated for students
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
About 20,000 students on more
than 20 still-unnamed campuses
will be tested for AIDS (Aquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome)
during the next 12 months, the
Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) in Atlanta announced last
week.
The students, however, may
-not even know their blood has
been tested. Under the plan, the
campuses will forward to the
CDC the 1,000-or-so blood
samples they take from students
as a matter of course during a
school year.
The CDC, adds University of
Virginia health service Director |
Dr. Richard P. Keeling, will then
test the samples for the presense
of the H.I.V. antibody, indicating
whether the student has the AIDS
virus.
The virus systematically
destroys victims’ immune
systems, rendering the victims
vulnerable to infections and il-
Inesses that typically prove fatal
within two years of diagnosis.
Students will not be informed
of the test results. The results,
Keeling — who also heads the
AIDS task force of the American
College Health Association — ex-
plained, would produce ‘“‘the first
actual data about the frequency
of H.I.V. infection among
students, who are increasingly
considered a high-risk
population.”’
Keeling said the CDC won’t
release the names of the schools
participating in the study, hoping
to preserve students’ privacy.
Colleges, University of
Maryland Health Center Director
Sunday, May |
Dr. Margaret Bridwell said in ear-
ly March, typically aren’t very
good at preserving it.
Public law, Bridwell said,
demands that Maryland’s health
clinic personnel record all the
medical procedures they perform,
including blood tests.
Bridwell suggested that
students worried about confiden-
tiality get their AIDS tests at
county facilities instead.
In February, U.S. General C.
Everett Koop told a London
AIDS conference he wanted to
test all the students on a chosen
campus for the disease to see how
far it has spread among young
people.
Since the disease often is
transmitted through sexual con-
tact and collegians tend to have
multiple sexual partners, Koop
considered students might be
among the Americans most likely
to engage in risky behavior, Keel-
ing explained. ee O

Airlines to enforce federal anti-smoking law
(AP) Flight attendants and ticket agents
will supply passengers with free candy and
gum, and get tough if necessary to enforce
the new federal ban on smoking that takes
effect on thousands of domestic flights
Saturday.
The new regulation, which outlaws
smoking on flights of less than two hours,
carries stiff fines for violations: up to
$1,000 for smoking and $2,000 for tinker-
ing with lavatory smoke alarms.
It applies to around 80 percent of all
U.S. flights, or an estimated 13,600 a day.
Under the new regulations, airlines are
required to tell passengers before takeoff
that smoking is prohibited on the flight,
and to keep the ‘“‘No Smoking” sign il-
luminated for the duration of affected
flights. .
Many airlines also plan to make an-
nouncements in the gate area before
passengers board.
‘‘Our employees have been briefed,’’
said Paula Musto, a spokeswoman for
Eastern Airlines. ‘‘The flight attendants,
as the front-line people, will have to deal
with it more than anybody.’’
Travelers flying United Airlines, the na-
tion’s largest carrier, will be advised in-
dividually of the new regulation when they
check in.
United has been gearing up for the
change since April 13, telling passengers if

about SA because he’s not involv- _
ed. It made me recognize how lit-
tle people really know about
SA.”’ Harrison said.
““The experience I had here was

The no-smoking edict covers 57 percent of
United’s flights. =
Second-ranked American Airlines says it
has devoted more than 4,500 man-hours
and spent over $180,000 developing pro-
grams to comply with the federal ban.
Along with the stick of heavy fines,
airlines also are offering the carrot of
sweets for passengers trying to squelch the
urge to smoke.
Northwest Airlines, whose tough policy
goes beyond the federal requirements by
banning smoking on nearly all its domestic
flights, plans to hand out candy and mints
as well as brochures to passengers.
American will provide cinnamon hard can-
dies suggested by the American Heart
Association and the American Lung
Association as a substitute for cigarettes.
And Continental Airlines expects to
distribute on Saturday more than 430,000
pieces of gum called ‘‘Ban Smoke,”’’
designed to temporarily control the urge.
Airlines say they have briefed their cabin
crews on how to handle potentially defiant
smokers. Flight attendants will tell rebels
that they are violating federal law and ad-
vise them of the consequences.
If a passenger persists in smoking,
airlines say they may notify authorities at
the plane’s next stop, arrange for the plane
to be met by police or even divert the air-
craft in some cases involving unruly
smokers. Oj
College students campign for Jackson

Dorosey isn’t just working on a presiden-

Her candidate, Jesse Jackson, isn’t just
a candidate, either. He is a ‘‘milestone,”’’
said the University of Colorado senior.
“*This is history.’’
So it is for an impressive cross section of
students, who ascribe to Jackson all sorts
of historical and even ‘‘healing’’ attributes
infrequently discussed in mainstream
American politics.
“It’s awesome,’’ shouts University of
Pennsylvania supporter Traci Miller in a
phone interview. ‘‘and I’m part of it!”’

particularly fallen frontronner Gary Hart
and now, at a lower decibel level,
Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis —

Former Kemp supporters urged to back Bush
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
Things just aren’t the same for
many conservative college ac-
tivists since New York Con-
gressman Jack Kemp dropped out
of the race for the Republican
presidential nomination in late
March.
And Vice President George
Bush hasn’t lit any fires among
campus Republicans, who claim
credit for delivering an im-
pressively large student vote for
Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984,
the activists say.
“Tt will be hard for me to get
excited about Bush,’’ said Dennis
Kilcoyne, former executive direc-
tor of the national College
Republicans and a self-described
“disciple of Kemp.”’
‘“‘Kemp was the one who ex-
cited students,’’ Tony Zagotta,
an Illinois State senior and former
Kemp campaign aide, added.
‘<I was taken by him, as were
the majority of College
Republican activists,’ Zagotta
said. ‘‘He’s a young, dynamic,
energetic candidate. His message
of hope, opportunity and
economic growth struck a chord
among students who will soon be

that matter. He got right down to
the nitty gritty.”’
Cook, for one, became a sup-
porter after hearing Jackson
speak. ‘‘He really sold me. I’m
going to-work for the guy.”
Much of Jackson’s campus
support, however, seems to come
not from newcomers like Cook,
but ‘‘veterans’’ long active in
liberal causes like the South
Africa divestiture movement, ef-
forts to ban Central Intelligence
Agency recruiting on campuses
and opposition to the Reagan ad-
ministration’s Central American
policies.
‘‘Jackson’s been there,’’ said
Murray. ‘‘He’s been working on
these issues all his life.”’
‘‘What Jesse is doing is giving
all the campus ‘antis’ — the anti-
Reagan crowd, the anti-CIA
crowd, the anti-involvement in
Central
something to be for,’’ said Stuart
Levitan, who represented student
districts on the Dane County
(Wisconsin) board for 3 terms.
The Jackson volunteers,
however, maintain the can-
didate’s campus

“Students are aware of the bad
economy, of unemployment,”’
Colorado grad student Larry
Johnson asserted. ‘‘These
Students are concerned about jobs
and about their future. These

It was no secret that much of
the College Republican national
leadership supported Kemp,
although the group, like the
Republican National Committee,
is supposed to stay neutral during
the primary and caucus season.
College Republican national
Chairman Stockton Reeves had
close ties to the Kemp campaign,
touring Central America with him
last year. Reeves’ predecessor,
David Miner, worked on the
Kemp campaign in North
Carolina.
In fact, the group’s ties to
Kemp helped provoke state and
local Republican protests that —
combined with other criticisms of
Reeves’ leadership abilities and
allegations that he cheated to win
his post — led campus groups in
Florida, Missouri and California
into debilitating internal splits
and struggles during the last 12
months.
Now the activists say they’ll
campaign hard for Bush, whose
nomination seems all but certain,
but stress their hearts still belong
to Kemp. .
“I’m a party person,’’ said
Mary Kendrigan, a Northern Il-
linois University senior and
former campus College
Republican president. ‘‘I’ll work
for George Bush, although Kemp
is my first choice. I still wear my

“The best thing concerned
young people can do now is get
behind Bush,’’ said North
Carolina College Republican
State Chairwoman Zann Bunn, a
North Carolina State student and
Kemp campaign volunteer. ‘‘Our
hopes were not played out, but
that’s something that happens in
every race.”’
‘‘T want a conservative in the
White House,’’ said Kilcoyne. ‘‘I
also want a Republican. But so-
mone has to stoke the fire in
your belly. Why work for a guy
like Bush who is likely to sell out
the cause?”’
It is Kemp, and not the vice
president, who these students see
as the natural heir to President
Reagan’s legacy. In fact, they
credit Kemp with creating many

became symbols of the Reagan
years.
“If you want to continue the
Reagan Revolution, Jack Kemp is
the man to do it,’’ said Bill
Peaslee, a Cambell University law
student and former Kemp cam-
paign volunteer aide.
‘“‘He created the Reagan
Revolution,’’ added Zagotta.
‘‘He sold Reaganomics [supply-
side economics] to Reagan.”’
Northern Illinois’s Kendrigan
said ‘‘students lined up behind
Kemp because he had a strong
voting record to back up his con-
victions. He always voted the
right way: pro-economic growth,
pro-life, and no tax increases.”’
If Kemp can’t be the party’s
presidential nominee, conser-
vative students would like to see
him named as the vice presidential
candidate or to a cabinet post.
Such an appointment, they say,
would allow Bush to show his
commitment to the conservative
cause.
‘‘Kemp is a prime candidate for

‘“‘Bush needs a true conser-

Peaslee noted. ‘‘If he wants to

The activists, however, are not
about to abandon the field.
“It all depends on what side of
the political spectrum you’re
looking at. Compared to Jack

Kilcoyne isn’t as confident. ‘‘I

TUESDAY, APRIL.26, 1988 [1 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS Sports 27
By Steven Silberglied
STAFF WRITER
For the first time, this outdoor season,
the Albany State men’s track team had a
subpar performance. This occurred at the
Rutgers Relays where 50 colleges and an
additional 20 track clubs competed.
Despite excellent competition, overall,
times were slower than expected due to
weather and winds. Even with this taken
into consideration, the Danes overall were
not happy with their times.
_ “*There always seems to be one meet in a
season that you are flat,’’said Albany
Coach Roberto Vives..‘‘That was the case
for us this weekend. It is better that we got
it in now rather than at the Penn Relays or
the state meet.’’
Highlighting the Albany performances
on Friday was Freshman Juan Sanchez.
He ran the 110 high hurdles in a personal
best 15.2 and won his section as well. Since
he placed second in the indoor New York
State meet last month, Sanchez has im-
proved with every meet.
“It’s incredible that he ran a personal
best time considering that his form was so
bad. It was probably, technically speaking,
his waist race of the year. When he gets his
form down he will really run some super
times,’’ Vives said.
In the 3000 meter steeplechase,
sophomore David Spencer ran well for the
Danes. His time of 10:08 represented a
season best time.
The Danes also had a respectable show-
ing in the 200 meters. Freshman Mike
etes in Rutgers Relays
at 23.0 both placed in the middle of their
heats.
the next day, Albany fared slightly bet-
ter. Senior Pat Paul turned in a personal
best time of 32:32 in the 10,000 meter.
Paul overal placed twelfth in a field of
thirty.
The Danes 4x100 meter relay of Maymi,
Junior Dave Reinhardt, Salmon, and
Junior Alfred Williams did well in their
race. They placed fourth of the six teams
in their section with a season best time of
42.9. The previously undefeated unit ran
into stiff competition for the first time this
season. The experience should benefit the
team in future meets.
Coach Vives said of the unit, ‘“‘because
they weren’t used to running from behind
some of our baton passes were way off the
mark. Overall, though, the time was good.
Alfred also did a good job of closing the
gap on the anchor leg.”’ ;
Later in the day, Maymi, Salmon,
Reinhardt, and sophomore Jim Clancy
combined in the mile relay to run a time of
3:26. Reinhardt’s 400 meter split of 50.3
was tops on the team.
The Danes also ran in the distance medly
relay, placing twefth of seventeenth teams.
The squad was comprised of Freshman
John Casey, Sanchez, Clancy and senior
Trevor Hash.
The Albany 4x100, 4x400, and sprint
medly relays have qualified for the Penn
Relays this Thursday — Saturday at
Franklin Field in Philadelpia. The rest of
the team competes Wednesday at the

“‘He’s equally good as a pass

tireless. He came through with
flying colors on everything we

Still, Cadigan knows he has a

them.”’
He’d better learn quickly
because the Jets have him slated
to start at left tackle. That means
Jim Sweeney will move to center,
where he will displace Guy
Bingham on a beefed-up line.
“Left tackle sounds great,’’
Cadigan said. ‘‘If he has con-
fidence in me and he saw me...
then it’s fine. Walton knows me
physically. I’m flattered he thinks
I could do that. That makes me
happy.”
Hickey said the Jets were “‘very
happy to get the players we did
where we got them.’ That in-
cludes defensive backs Terry
Williams of Bethune-Cookman
on the second round, and Erik
McMillan of Missouri and James
Hasty of Washington State on the
third.
“It’s very possible he’ll start,’’
Hickey said of Williams, who
became a starter at the Division I-
AA school as a senior. ‘‘He’s an
excellent prospect.
‘All kids out of college need
work, but if he can fix a few
things up, he could start on either
side.’’
\
When Williams’ name was an-
nounced, fans in the gallery
booed and yelled, ‘‘Who?’’
Hickey wasn’t bothered by that
reaction.
“It was not difficult at all,’’
Hickey said. ‘‘He was at the top
of the line when it came up to our
pick.’’. OD
(AP) The New York Giants sized
up the draft and decided to think
big, using their two picks on of-
fensive linemen for the first time
since 1974.
The behemoths to be unleashed
at Giants Stadium are tackles Eric
Moore of Indiana, 6-5 and 290,
and Michigan’s John Elliott, 6-7
and 308, whose size, mobility,
strength and agility warmed the
heart of Coach Bill Parcells.
“*That gives us six to seven guys
at about 290 pounds. That makes
or six years ago, 275 pounds was
a pretty big team. That’s been
changing.”’ .
The Giants believe Moore,
taken 10th in the opening round,
and Elliott, the 36th pick overall,
can compensate for the retirement
of tackle Brad Benson and the
uncertain status of Karl Nelson,
who’s being treated for Hodgkins
disease.
““We felt we had to get big guys
in the first rounds,’? General
Manager George Young said.
“If we wait until next year,
hopefully we'll be drafting
lower,’’ he told reporters in a
telephone interview from Giants
Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
Both linemen can play either
side and are flexible enough to
switch to guard if necessary,
Parcell said. ,
The Giants hope their top selec-
tions this year will last longer than
John Hicks and Tom Mullen,
guards chosen in the first two
rounds in 1974 and ex-Giants by
1977.
Moore, reached at his home in
the St. Louis area, said: ‘‘I feel
this is a good situation for me to
fall into. I feel I can really con-

Moore was named Indiana’s
outstanding offensive player in
1986 and the most valuable
lineman in 1987. He is an ex-
cellent run-blocker who has
developed into a capable pass
protector. .
“‘He was the only one left who
we felt really could play both
sides and in a pinch, could play
guard,’’ Young said.
_ Elliot, who many thought the
Giants would take in the first
round, said from his home on
Long Island, N.Y.: ‘This is
definitely the right team. [’ll play
anywhere (any position) as long
as I get a shot.”’
Young said the Giants, who
emphasized size when they
drafted a number of defensive
linemen two years ago, want to
bulk up their offensive line.
Young said teams never can
have too many offensive linemen,
especially in the NFC East, where
four-man defensive fronts are the
norm and linemen like Dexter
Manley and Darryl Grant of
Washington have stratled op-
ponents with their strength and
agility.
“We know offensive linemen
are not a popular pick and maybe
never will be,’’ Young said.
That was evident when people
in the gallery of the Broadway
Ballroom of the Marriot Marquis
in New York City booed Moore’s
selection. Elliott’s selection was
met with thunderous applause.
In the third round, the Giants

Parcells said the Giants would
look for help in the secondary in
the later rounds.
Linebacker Ricky Shaw,
6-foot-4 and 234, was the Giants’
fourth pick and the 92nd player
drafted.
Shaw, who also played defen-
sive end in college, fits the team’s
mold of a quick and strong out-

In the fifth and final round of
the draft’s first day, New York
grabbed Pittsburgh’s Jon Carter,
a 6-4 and 266 defensive end who
had 18.5 sacks in four seasons
with the Panthers.
_ The draft was rich with talent
at running back and wide receiver
and many onlookers at the hotel
appealed for an offensive back.
But the Giants passed on
Standford running back Brad
Muster and John Stephens of
Northwestern Louisiana State in
the opening round.
Young stressed the importance
of offensive linemen to the work-
ings of an offense, as the Giants
discovered last season when the
pass coverage,
_ health problems of linemen had a
devastating effect on the team’s
running game.
Nelson’s affliction forced
Parcells to shift William Roberts
from left tackle to right tackle.

career, didn’t show the form that

The SUNY Albany softball team had no
trouble in beating the College of Saint
Rose on Monday April 18. The final score
was 12-1
The hitting starts were Zoraida Diaz,
who was 3 for 5, with 4 runs and a triple;
Laura Dugo, who had two hits in four at
bats and three runs; and Jennifer Chimien-
ti, who was 2 for 3, with two runs and tw
walks.
Albany got off to a fast start as their
first three batters scored. Diaz reached
first base on an error by the second
baseman, stole second, and scored when
Dugo reached second on the shortstop’s
throwing error. Dugo proceeded to steal
third. Chimienti walked. Cassie Weaver
sacrificed to the pitcher. Liz Whelan
- followed with an RBI single to left.
Theresa Ferretti walked. Chris Carioto-
followed that with a sacrifice fly to
-rightfield, which knocked in Chimienti.
Parry Farrell walked Parry Fiorelli flew
out to center to end the inning.
In the second inning, Diaz led off with a
single. Dugo and Chimienti also singled.
Weaver and Whelan reached on errors, by
the shortstop, which scored Diaz and
Dugo. Ferretti continued the attack with
an RBI walk. Carioto’s hit was caught by
the second baseman for the first out. Far-
rell hit a shot to left which was caught and
Weaver was thrown out trying to score, for
the third out.
After scoring one in the third and one in
the fourth, they did not score in the fifth.
By the time that CSR got on the board in
the fifth, Albany had scored eight runs and
were on their way to blowout.
In the sixth, the Great Danes scored four
more runs to ice the victory. Carioto led
off with a groundout to second base. Deb-
bie Donovan, who took Farrell’s place,
singled to left. Fiorelli advanced her to se-
cond with a walk. Diaz drove both of them
home when she tripled to rightfield. She
scored on an errant throw by the
rightfielder. Dugo reached on an error by
the second baseman. Chimienti continued
the assault with a walk. Weaver reached
first on the pitcher’s error; Dugo scored.
On Saturday the 23rd, they hosted
Herbert Lehman College and destroyed
them by scores of 30-2 and 19-0.
In the first game, Diaz had four hits,
which included a double, a triple, and four
runs batted in. Dugo had four singles and
three RBI’s. Donovan added to Lehman’s
troubles with a single in two at bats and
two RBI’s. Chimienti had a double in three
at bats. Laura Immediato had a single in
two at bats. Whelan was two for three with
a triple. Ferretti hit a single in one of her
four at bats. Farrell had one single in four
trips to the plate. Fiorelli had a single in
four plate appearances, also. Laura Deloff
threw a complete game, pitching a four
hitter, striking four batters out, and
yielding two walks.
In game two, Diaz had a pair of singles
and a triple in five at bats. Dugo came
through with two singles in four at bats.
Weaver showed some power by hitting a
three run homer in her only at bat; she had
two walks, too. Chimienti had a single in
three at bats. Farrell was one for four with
a single. Karen Smiley pitched brilliantly.

Women netters beat Rochester |
By Nat Ruta
STAFF WRITER
The women’s tennis team beat Universi-
ty of Rochester last Saturday by a score of
5-4, This win was impressive considering
the absence of Caryn Levy and Lisa
Granier, the number one and two players,
due to illness.
The match started out a bit differently
with the doubles teams playing first. Due
to Levy and Granier’s absence the double’s
teams were comprised of players who’d
never compeated together prior to this
match.
At first doubles were Laurie Wilk and
Lisa Glendening, who won in their sets
3-6, 6-4, 6-2. ‘“‘After we lost the first set,
we got used to each other and won the last
two easily.’’ said Wilk. — Se
Ellen Katz and Laura Herman teamed
up for the number two doubles spot. They
won in straight sets 6-3, 6-2. They were too
strong for their opponents at serving and
playing the net.
At third doubles were Michele
Rosenberg and Karen Gorden, who also
won in straight sets. When the two played
as a team their practicing was evident. _
In singles play Lisa Glendening filled the
number 1 spot. She lost 2-6, 5-7. She was
physically unable to continue to a third set
because she was so ill. She usually plays in
the number three spot. .
Laurie Wilk played in the number 2
- position. She lost a very exciting match
6-4, 4-6, 4-6. She came back from 0-5 in
the third, but the seven days she missed
due to illness caught up with her.
‘That was the finest match Laurie has
played in her 2 years at Albany, she should
be sick more often.’’ said Coach Linda
Myers. :
Ellen Katz played in the number 3 spot
and also went three sets, she lost these sets,
however, 1-6, 6-3, 4-6.
Lauren Herman, who played in the
number four spot won her match in
‘straight Sets 6-4, 6-2.
Michele Rosenberg played in the
number 5 spot and also won her mittch in
straight sets 6-1, 6-0. For Rosenberg, who
usually plays as a substitute, this was an
impressive victory. ;
“‘We won the match because of our
doubles, but Lauren and Michele’s win
capped it for us,’’ said Coach Myers.
Karen Gorden, who played in the
number six spot, had a bad first set and
was unable to catch up in the second set
loosing 1-6, 6-7.
““Glendening, Katz, and Gorden got off
to slow starts in the first sets, but played
impressively thereafter,’’ said Coach
Myers.
“*2 of our starting players were missing
due to sickness, and 3 others were playing
while sick. Saturday’s match was not only
a victory for the scorebooks, but a sign of
strength and endurance for the team as
well,’’ said Coach Myers.
The team plays Binghamton today at
3:30, and Mount Holyoke on Thursday.-]
Orioles’
losing streak
continues |
By Christopher Sciria
SPORTS EDITOR :
Yes, they are the O-rioles. O as in 0
and 18. Baltimore has already set the
record for worst start in major league
history. Now they have a chance to make
baseball immortability by losing 24 con-
secutive games.
They trail division leading Cleveland
by 14 games. At this pace the Orioles wil
be 0-162. Seriously though, they will win
some games. Even the 1962 Mets won 40.
The sad thing is, that only five short
years ago, this team was world cham-
pions. Until last year, they hadn’t had a
losing season in 18 years. Those days
have long been forgotten. _
The Orioles seem to be reliving their
ugly history. Before they moved to
Baltimore in 1953, they were the old St.
Louis Browns. The Browns were bad;
how bad? They won one pennant in their
first 52 years. That was 1943 when the
major leagues were ravaged by World
War II and only has-beens and rejects
played.
Things got so bad for the Browns, that
in 1948 they sent a midget up to bat. It
was a publicity stunt, but who knows,
maybe the Orioles will try again?
The Orioles aren’t that bad a team.
They have Cal Ripken Jr. and Eddie
Murray. Unfortunately they don’t have
much else.
The funniest thing is that the fans are
going crazy about this. They will pro-
bably sell out Memorial Stadium when
the O’s finish their road trip May 2. A
local D.J. has vowed to stay on the air
until the Orioles win. I hope he’s playing
the live versions of Freebird and Dazed
and Confused. The man will defintely
have to fill some massive air time.
There are some rumors going around
why the Orioles aren’t doing so well.
First is that they still think its spring
training. Second they think every day is
an off day.
The person I feel sorry for the most is
Baltimore manager Frank Robinson. He
got the job when the Orioles were 0-6.
The sports world was abuzz that there
was again a black manager.
Its too bad that Robinson won’t be
able to show off his skills, because he has
inherited such an aweful team. He’s tried
different lineups and other strategies, but |
nothing has worked. oe
It seems now that the Orioles are
psyched out. When they get a lead, they
start to wonder how they’re going to lose
it. When the fall behind, they start to
dispair.
In anycase, the Orioles head into Min-
nesota 0-18, their playoff hopes surely in.
jeopardy, they are 14 back with 144 to
play. —
Okay, okay, maybe it’s not that funny
anymore. Yes, the Orioles are having
their problems, yet they will again be a
contender, maybe not in our lifetime, but
they will.
If a team can go from the penthouse to
the outhouse in five short years, how
quickly can one rise? |
After all, if Cleveland, who last year
lost around 100 games, can get off to 2
14-4 start this year, anything can pease
