1983-1984 Great Danes:
The sports year in review

By Mare Berman
SPORTS EDITOR

After the arduous task of reviewing and analyzing the performance of each of this year's
Albany State sports teams, perhaps one generalization can be made; the big-time sports —
football, basketball, and baseball — did not have the kind of flourishing seasons that they've
been known/ for’ in the past.|

In this season, there was not a single team that dramatically stood above any other; rather it
was the effort of one athlete, wrestler Dave Averill, who outshined all the rest. Averill became
the first Albany State athlete in 17 years and only the second in Dane history, to capture an
NCAA championship,

‘The magnitude of the feat he accomplished seemed even greater when you consider how it
was done, After dominating his opponents to reach the final round of the 126-pound division,
he met up with Puerto Rico's Olympic hopeful Orlando Caceres from Trenton State. With on-
ly 29 seconds remaining on the clock, Caceres hoisted Averill off the mat, dropping him on his
head in an illegal move, The Dane 126-pounder.slipped into a semi-conscious state and was
unable to continue; thus disqualifying Caceres in accordance with the NCAA rulebook.
Though some will say Averil’s title is ‘tainted," he still wins as Dane athlete of the year,
hands down, He will ity to repeat as champion next year and his chances look promising con-
sidering Caceres will be graduating,

There are two other Albany State wrestlers that soon might find international glory. Three-
time All-American Andy Seras, who redshirted this year to concentrate all his time and energy
to making the 1984 Olympic team, has a legitimate shot at qualifying, He will find out for sure
in June when he competes in the Olympic trials at the 155-pound division, Seras has voyaged
to Europe three times this year to compete in international competition where he has placed
well against the best of the other countries,

Joining Seras in the quest for international fame, is freshman All-American Shawn
Sheldon, who has an even better opportunity of qualifying, more due to a dilution of talent in
his weight class than any other factor, Sheldon has also journeyed to Europe for competitions,
On the side, he captured All-American honors at the NCAAs while wrestling in a Dane
uniform,

ig back to the performance of Albany State teams, the big-time sports, as mentioned
before, had their problems, The Dane football program, which boasted a .700 winning
percentage going into the season, saw their record fall to the lowest in their history, Mainly
due to a lack of experience in the offense, the club's record read 3-7, However, theit clip by no
‘means exhibits the drastic improvement (o the team through the course of the season, especial-
ly the offense, The line play solidified tremendously as the season progressed and sophomore
quarterback Mike Milano at times showed rays of britlinace, That combination coupled with
Albany's \ssual stingy defense should provide an about-face recordwise for Coach Bob Ford
and his Purple Gang,

Frustration also came Doc Sauers’ way, as for the first time, the Danes failed to qualify for
the SUNYACS, Albany instead received an invitation to the smaller ECAC tournament where
they were eliminated in the opening round

‘Though their record was better than .500, it ranks near the bottom in comparison to his first
28 years as master of the Albany basketball program.

Still, Sauers, like Ford, is staring at a strong year ahead, Only forward Wilson Thomas is
being graduated, and the addition of Fields Blanchard, a transfer from Hudson Valley with
three years left of eligibility, should steer Albany State back on the track leading to a
SUNYAC playoff berth,

The Danes baseball team completed its season yesterday and ended up with another losing
season, Rookie coach Ed Zaloom has a lot to look forward.to since only two players are
graduating, Missed next season will be two-time AllLSUNYAC Bob Conklin, who is a good
bet to make it a hat trick after this year’s awards are announced.

The Albany State men’s tennis team continued its '“dynasty"” ways when they captured their
fifth straight SUNYAC title even with Coach Bob Lewis sidelined due to a disc operation, Jim
Serbalik, who has seen the word interim preceding his name before as women's tennis coach,
did an extraordinary job filling in at that spot, taking over wo days before the season opener.
Lewis was so impressed with the coaching that he wanted him as an assistant but Serbalik
refused; he is presently back behind the desk at the Registrar, :

This spring, with Lewis back at the helm, the Danes are 6-4 with one match remaining.
Their record isn’t bad cor i the level of competition they've been up against. All four
setbacks were against Division I schools. '

The big news of the spring, however, was the qualifying of Dave Ulrich for singles and
doubles along with his partner Dave Grossman. This year’s Nationals will be held at Emory
University in Atlanta, Last year Albany State had the honor.

‘Coach Bob Munsey took an unproven but enthusiastic bunch of sophomores and juniors all
the way to an 18th place finish in the NCAA Division 111 National Championships during the
season he called ‘‘the most exciting surprise of my careers,"” The Dane harriers used the dual
‘meet season to develop the mental toughness that pulled them through at the NCAA
Regionals, where six inch snow drifts and top-level competition could not hold them out of the
third place finish they needed to qualify for Nationals.

Munsey changed his training tactics and tried a new approach to speed workouts on the
young group he dubbed “‘the Diaper Kids.'” The team finished second to SUNY:
Fredonia State at the SUNYACS for the best Albany finish in several years and then sat out of
the State meet in order to rest for Regionals where they became the first SUNY team to beat
Fredonia in five years and finished third out of the 26 teams in the New York region, Captain
Chris Callact praised Coach Munsey, “*He listened to us very closely and made some very
smart decisions that allowed us to do our very best.”

‘The men’s soccer team finished with a 6-7 clip, but in no way does that tarnish the perfor-
mance of two players, Mike Miller and Tihan Presbic, who were both named to the All-
Conference squad. Coach Bill Shieffelin will surely miss the graduating Miller next year,

‘The women's swimming team should be labeled as Albany State's most improved squad as
they coasted to their finest season ever, 12-1. Sophomore Jane Klotz, a diver, qualified for the
Nationals in Emory and copped All-American honors with her ninth place finish,

By stark contrast, the women's softball team should be classified as the most unimproved
team, Fielding nine freshman starters, Lee Rhenish’s squad is in the midst of a pitiful 2-12
season, Just two years ago, they captured the NYSAIAW championship and last year they
reached the semifinals.

The junior varsity basketball team fared better than the more elderly club, They finished

with the second best record in j.y. basketball history, 17-3, with three players expected to

Albany gears up
for orientation;
bar owners told
to check I.D.s

By Jane Anderson
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

With 1900. mostly under-age freshmen
flocking to the Albany area for summer
orientation, SUNYA officials are warning
local bar owners to check 1.D.'s more
carefully,

“We'll call the local bars"” to warn them
that a large group of underage students will
be staying in the area overnight, said Mary
Schimley, who is in her first year as Orienta-
tion Director,

“We can't control completely for
alcohol,’ said Schimley, “Obviously, if so-
meone wants to drink, they will."” She ex-
plained, however, that a full range of evening
activities have been planned for the
freshmen, nost of whom will be under New
York's legal drinking age of 19,

While drinking is said to be a popular
orientation activity for future frosh, the two-
day sessions will also offer opportunities to
learn something about the university and to
make friendships that often last through four
years at SUNYA,

“We help the new students to become
comfortable with the university," explained
Schimley.

This year's ‘typical freshman" will have
placed in: the’ top’ 14:percent “of their high
school graduating class, and have combined
SAT scores of over 1,100,,according (0 Assis-
tant Director of Admissions Tom Flemming.

In addition, said Flemming, many students
are admitted under on of SUNYA's special
programs, which include the Talented Stu
dent Admissions Program and the Educa-
tional Opportunities Program.

Flemming said that of the 12,000 students
that applied to SUNYA for 1984-85, over $5
percent were accepted, which is the same
level of acceptance as last year. 2150
freshmen are expected to enroll, Flemming
said.

1,900 future freshmen will attend summer
orientation this year, along with over 800
transfer students, who will participate in one-
day sessions, Schimley,

Schimley said she and her staff of Orienta-
tion Assistants have “tried to make it a little
bit more exciting this year.’

“We're running four programs
simultaneously," she explained, ‘freshman
student, freshman parent, transfer student
and transfer parent.””

“We try to walk the freshmen through the
program," Schimley explained, “while the
transfers are more on their own."

Both frosh and transfers will be given an
opportunity to speak with their advisors and
choose next semester's courses, and are given
time to socialize and to meet representatives
of the administration and the Student
Association,

The parents will attend information ses-
sions and slide shows about campus life, and

tour downtown Albany on one of
SUNYA's “green machine” buses.

The students, meanwhile, will be experien-
cing some of the funniest, most bizarre, and
memorable moments of their college careers,

A senior recalls that at his orient
freshman got drunk in the penthouse
Tower. ‘We looked out the window,

Joe, “‘and convinced him that the greenhouse
by the Bio Building was a U.F.O. He called
the campus police."”

One junior said he spent his entire orien-
tatin on roller skates. ‘*I thought it would be
cool to rolllerskate for two days, so I bought a
pair of skates and brought them with me,""

Another student recounted an unusual
coincidence that occurred during orientation,

NY State legislators angered over
national 21 drinking age proposal

By Steve Fox
and Tony Silber

Despite the New York State Assembly's vote against raising the legal drinking age to 21 last
month, 19 and 20 year olds face a possible threat from the United States Congress in legisla-
tion that ties the 21 year old drinking age to federal highway funds.

In.a move that is being called ‘political blackmail," the U.S. House of Representatives ap-
proved legislation June 8 that would take some federal highway funds away from any state
that did not raise its legal drinking age to 21. The Senate will vote on the measure before they
complete their session in mid June.

The bill provides the 27 states which currently have a drinking age under 21 with a two-year
grace period. Within this time they must raise their drinking age. If the states have not com-
plied by the third year, they would lose 5 percent of their federal highway funds, and they
would lose 10 percent in the fourth year.

“This is government by sanction rather than government by constitution," claimed New
York State Assemblyman Vincent Graber (D-West Seneca). Graber said he believed the law
would be unconstitutional, but added that sanction provisions have never been tested in the
courts,

Graber noted that various police powers are assigned to the states, and that this provision
would “walk on the very powers of the states."

Graber also questioned the relationship between a higher drinking age and highway fun-
ding, ‘How does highway funds relate to the drinking age — it doesn't,"" he asserted.

The assemblyman pointed out that there have been sanctions before — ones with what he
called valid reasons — such as right turn on red and the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit, He add-
ed that New York, or any other state, could sue to end government sanction,

Cathy Ozer, the legislative director for the United States Student Association (USSA),
agreed with Graber, calling the proposed legislation ‘“tactical blackmail and harassment.""

‘According to Ozer, USSA reiterated their opposition to the drinking age in testimony for
the Surface Transportation Committee. ‘The law targets a specific population, not the
societal problem of alcohol abuse,"’ she said.

Dev Tobin, legislative assistant for the New York Public Interest Research Group
(NYPIRG) said that the question of states’ rights would probably be decided in the courts and
that a court case could take years to be settled. “It is not within the federal perogatives to raise
the drinking age," he added, pk

Off-campus
housing office
uprooted from
Campus Center

By Mark Gesner
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR.

In a decision severely criticized by student
leaders, Vice President for Student Affairs
Frank Pogue has relocated SUNYA’s Off-
Campus Housing Office (OCHO).

‘The office, along with its director Karlen
Karlson, moves from its spot next to the Stu-
dent Association on the first floor of the
Campus Center (o the offices of Residential
Life on State Quad,

in my assessment the Off-Campus Hous-
ing Office can be improved upon if it's
located uiider housing. It will be able to bet-
ter serve the students in a more organized

‘aid Pogue, The decision was part of

Vice President's January plan for

reorganization of the Student Affairs Divi
rn

Karlson, however, is not completely happy
with the move, “I-don't agree with Frank
Pogue that this is not going to have a
substantial negative impact on what happens
to this office," Karlson sald, “Other ad-
ministrators do not know what my off
does. People do not know the high quality of
service we give, she added,

The office assists off-campus students with
a wide variety of housing concerns, Financial
advice, reading leases, apartmentmate
hassles, landlord negotiations, and safety tips
are among the services offered by Karlson
and her staff of student advisors, The offic

s probably best known for its daily updated
display of available apartments in the area,

According to Pogue, having Karlson run a
“one person office” cannot fully reatize the
proper committment to the off-campus stu-
dent, and results in the underutilization of a
professional position, He said the move
allows for a better use of resources and can
maximize Karlson's role as a professional
within the university:

The relocation has outraged SA Vice Presi-
dent Suzy Auletta, who had served as the SA
Off-Campus Coordinator for the past year.
“The responses of off-campus students and
especially OCA (Off-Campus Association)
members are reactions of shock and disap-
pointment, 1 feel it is my duty to voice the
students’ overriding opinion that the upcom-
ing switch is counterproductive for off-
campus students,” Aulelta wrote in a
memorandum to Pogue.

Auletta cited several drawbacks 10 the
switch, She wrote that moving OCHO out of
the Campus Center would reduce ils ac-
cessibility and visibility for the off-campus
students, In addition, Auletta pointed out
that OCHO is presently in close proximity (0

New policy provides “a fuller picture of an academic career.”

New drop-add policy approved;
student leaders push for repeal

By Jim O'Sullivan
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Amidst vocal student opposition, the

iniversity Senate voted in May to hai

*W"? placed’on a student's transcript if* a
course is dropped more than ten days into the
semester.

Under the new policy, students will also be
given more time to add a course.

Student leaders are now looking into alter-
nate proposals to the regulation, which goes
into effect during the Fall 1985 semester.

Under current rules, a student has five
days to add a course, and can drop a course
until the middle of the semester

The new rules will expand the add period
to ten days, but will cut the add period to
those same ten days.

About 35 students attended the Senate
meeting to demonstrate their opposition to
the rule,

Statements against the proposal — usually
just called the “W" — were met with cheers
and applause from the students, many of
whom had come in response to fliers passed
around campus by Student Association (SA).

Senate chair Ronald Bosco limited debate
on the motion to ten minutes. Attempts to
extend debate failed to get the required two-
thirds majority,

Following the first vote in favor of the
“W,"" a motion to reconsider was approved.
However, after statements from various
Senators and SA President Rich Schaffer,
who voiced his opposition to the bill, it was
approved a second time,

In his statement before the Senate, Schaf-

fer charged that the ‘“W"" would discourage
students from exploring new fields of in-
terest, He urged the Senate to consider alter-
natives to the plan,

But supporters of the proposal said it
would stop students from registering for
more courses than they intend to take, and
would help alleviate the problem of closed
classes.

‘A motion by Senator Mitch Feig, a stu-
dent, to have the proposal moved back to
committee was also defeated.

Student leaders pointed to the packed
visitors space as evidence of their charges that
too few students were involved in the process
which created and chose the **W.””

But the chair of the Undergraduate
‘Academic Council, Cathy Lasusa, who i
also a student, spoke in favor. of the ‘'W.
She said she believed it would keep courses,
open to students who intend to complete the
course.

Bosco said during a recent inter. .ew that it
was his policy to follow the recommendation
of each committee chair on whether or not to
support a bill, ‘The argument that there
‘was no student representation, I didn’t ac-
cept,"" Bosco said, explaining that students
on the subcommittee and committee which
drew up the proposal voted in favor of it,

*1 was quite amazed that students felt they
were not represented,” he added.

Bosco praised Lasusa's performance as a
senator and as the Senate liason for SA. “She
never spoke for herself, she spoke for the
students she represented," he asserted,

The measure was passed by a 3-1 margin,
Bosco said, adding that more than 35

Draft non-registrants await ruling
on their eligibility for financial aid

By Wayne Peereboom i a
EXECUTIVE EDITOR

All sides are waiting for a decision by the U.S, Supreme Court ta see if male college
students who don't register for the draft will remain ineligible for federal ald,

The non-registrants became ineligible for federal aid programs, such as the Basic Educa
tional Opportunity Grants (BEOG), Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
(SEOG) and Guaranteed Student Loans, as a result of a law known as the’ Solomon
Amendment, Proposed by New York Congressman Gerald Solomon as an amendment to
the Defense Apporiation Bill, the Solomon Amendment went into effect July 1, 1983,
‘according to an aide to the congressman, John Kostas, The law requires that all draft eligi-
ble males indicate whether they've registered when applying for federal aid.

‘According {0 United States Student Association Executive Vice President Scott Wexler,
4 Minnesota Federal Court judge ruled that the Solomon Amendment is unconstitutional
because itis in violation of the right to due process, Wexler said the judge issued an injune-
tion stopping the law, after ruling that students had a right to a trial before beinig denied
federal aid, Wexler explained that the case was appealed to the Supreme Court where a
panel of justices lifted the injunction, He said all arguments have been heard and a final
decision is expected from the court by the end of June,

Werler said there are no estimates on how many students have lost aid or registered for
the draft as a result of the bill. “I don’t feel the Solomon Amendment has had much of an
effect," sald Wexler. ‘People strong enough to resist are also strong enough to get an ex-
tra job," he said,

In an interview last Fall, Aid Director Donald Whitlock described the Amendment as an
attempt to cut back on federal financial aid to lower and middle income students,

Whitlock called the Solomon Amendment ‘'so illogical that some members of the finan-
cial aid profession are commencing to feel that some form of administrative harassment is
being brought to bear upon them,"

Kostas said the congressman's main reason for proposing the amendment was to increase
Jcompliance with draft registration laws, According to a 1983 federal government estimate,
500,000 out of 9.8 million eligible men have not registered for the draft,

Kostas said another reason for the proposal was that ‘‘non-registrants receiving aid is not
fair to people who register." ig

Solomon is confident that the law will be upheld, Kostas said, and has no alternative
plans in the event that the law is struck down, Wexler said his organization will have to
egroup if the law is upheld and concentrate on such things as voter education, However,
ISUNYA Student Association Attorney Mark Mishler pointed out that if the court upholds
the taw it will “limit any challenge fo it in the future.

In the meantime, S.A. President Rich Schaffer said the state legislature is considering a
similar bill for state aid, He said the state Higher Education Committee will be voting on
the proposal on June 19, but itis unlikely to go before the full legislature before they com-
plete their session the following week, fa]

Library lounge to offer less socializing space

interference with studying because the area will be quiet,

UPS

Remodelling provides larger study area,

SUNYA's library users will lose some socializing space
when the second floor lounge is remodeled this summer to
create additional study space.

The lounge will be converted into a reading area similar to
the one on'the first floor, according to Director of Library
Administration Joseph Nitecki, He added that the room
would remain a smoking section,

As in the first floor study area, nio discussions will be per-
mitted in the new reading room, he said.

The change, Nitecki noted, is an attempt to help compen-
sate for the loss of seating on the second and third floors,
and to reduce the noise level in the library.’The library needs
the extra shelf space to house its growing collection, he said,

‘The library was designed to shelve I’ million volumes,"”
1 explained, "We are now 100 percent full. We keep cutting
yack on seating area on the second and third floors!” to
jhelve more books, said Nitecki,

Nitecki said he decided with the consent of Student
Association officials and the Library Council to increase the
seating capacity of the red lounge by 20 percent to make up
for lost study areas,

Another reason for the renovations, Nitecki explained,
the high noise level in the lounge, He said that some library
users have complained about the noise generated by conver
sations in the lounge,

Group studying will be allowed in seminar rooms located
in the library, Nitecki said, adding that these rooms must be
reserved beforehand due to limited capacity.

‘The remodeling, which began at the beginning of June,
will by the end of summer, in time for the fall semester,
Nitecki said,

He also claimed that the cost of the project would be
minimized by having it done by staff, rather than an outside
contractor,

Additional plans include repairs on library carpeting, and
computerization of the card catalog and book check-out
systems, he stated,

‘Scanning labels using the computer bar code will be placed
in all the books, eliminating the need to type the information
manually during checkout and other procedures, explained
Nitecki,

Computerizing the card catalog will give faculty members
access to the book listings from their offices, so that they will
be able to find out a book's availability, sald Nitecki,

SASU to emphasize voting

By Patricia Mitchell
EDITOR IN CHIEF

Stressing that'a massive student voter tur-
Rout is the key to student power, SASU
President Sue Wray said her organization will
focus heavily on voter concerns in the up-
coming year.

“Take any issue last year. If we had voted,
it would have changed it. It’s so, important
that we vote,” said Wray, the newly elected
president of the Student Association of the
State University,

The organization, Wray said, will work on
student voter registration, voter education,
and finally, voting.

SASU has scheduled an organizing con-
ference for later this summer to coordinate
student voting efforts state-wide, In ad
tion, Wray said, SASU is planning to help in-
form student voters by distributing informa
tion on incumbent candidates’ voting
records,

Wray said that students on five SUNY
campuses, including Albany, presently have
the right to vote in their college communities,

SUNYA students won this right in 1980,

Last November, SUNY’ Oswego students
won a class action suit giving all students
there the right to vote in their college district.

The order was the result of an action in
which SASU Counsel Ronald Sinzheimer in-
cluded Oswego County in the legal suit filed
by SUNYA students four years ago.

This year, SASU will also seek on campus
polling places for state universities,

In last year’s election only two polling
places were located on the SUNYA campus
at State Quad and the gymnasium, Albany
Mayor Thomas Whalen III decided to place a
third polling place off-campus at the
Thruway House after a new election district
was created,

In other SASU action, Wray said the
group is working with its Third World
Caucus to design a plan to recruit more
minorities into SUNY and to assess their
needs,

ASU is also urging SUNY Central to
divest itself of financial ties to corporations

Bus fee expected this Fall

By Beth Brinser

STAPF WRITER

After a year of battling the possibility of a
fee for riding SUNYA's buses, student
leaders say they may lose their fight

In a May, 18, 1984 letter to SUNY Vice
Chancellor James Smoot, SUNYA President
Vincent O'Leary wrote, "I plan to move for-
ward with the initiation of a user fee (for the
buses). . . it is important that we get this fee
into effect this summer so we
administration before the Fall sei

The letter also stated that the fee will only
be charged to "those who are not living in
our downtown dormitories, or using the
downtown campus, of studying interns.

The bus fee is “now an administrative
decision,” according to SUNYA  Vice-

Legislative proposal could bring |
Division | sports to Albany Danes

By Jane Anderson
ASMOCIATE NEMS BDITOR

Several key New York State legislators are
currently drafting a bill which, if approved,
would cause SUNY student governments to
lose control of the funds for intercollegiate
sports

The bill would bypass a similar proposal
which is now under consideration by the
SUNY Board of Trust

Student leaders have called the bill an at-
tempt to “usurp Board power." The
legislature would not require Board of
Trustee approval to implement the proposal

Both plans would allow the awarding of
grants-in- es,
mean a move to Na
Association (NCAA) Division U for some
schools, possibl ing SUNYA.

Intercollegiate athletics are currently fund-
ed through each SUNY school's mandatory
student activity fee. Students pay approx-
imately $25 per year to fund the athletic pro-
gram, and the money is controlled by student
governments,

In announcing Thornberry’s appointment
O'Leary said, ‘The School of Criminal Justice
has for some years been considered one of
Ue premiere programs in the country, We are
delighted that Dr. Thornberry will be joining
lus as we enter a new era in the life of the
school.’

Thornberry is a sociologist with a
specialization in criminology and has written
many articles and co-authored several books
on the subject.

SUNYA students may soon be forced to

date, for an ugly guy, is a challenge
A far beyond any faced by his more at

tractive couhterparts. Not only does
the Ualy'guy have to contend with the same
basic problems inherent in this society's dating
formula that every other guy must learn to
deal with, he is further hampered by dandruff,
Scabs, large moles above his eyebrows, or
Whatever else his particular repulsive feature
might happen to be. This puts a lot of pressure
on his “personality,”

Jim Lally

ee ee eae
Now, to most teenagers, when the ward
“personality” arises in a conversation, it's pret- |
ty obvious that the peison being discussed is at
least somewhat ugly, because if he were good-|
looking, no one would care about his per-
sonality, Because of this, the basic ugly guy
understands that to be socially acceptable, he
‘must be able to use his personality. as a
weapon. He must be witty, urbane, and char-!
ming. . moreso than his counterparts, the
normal-to-good-looking guys, because these |
people can also rely on their looks, In the real
world, the ugly guy understands that to be
popular with girls, or even tolerated by gi
he must cultivate the type of personality that
will make girls wish he wasn't so ugly. Once
they start thinking that, the ugly guy says to
himself, at least I've got a chance,

Ugly guys invite girls out on dates very rare-
ly (at least, ugly guys who realize their level of
physical attractiveness do), and when they do,
It Invariably takes ther much too long a time
to do so, as they will cheerfully spend upwards
of month agonizing over whether or not to
This is because the ugly guy understands
that he will probably be tured down when he »
asks, s0 the longer he puts it off and attempts

to get to know the git! better beforehand, the
longer he can feel like he’s actually got a shot.

Dating Tip

O.K., so let's get a little unrealistic and’
‘assume you've asked a gir! out on a date, and
she's accepted. Now, haw to handle it. The

'pressure {s still on, because if you relax and
begin to enjoy yourself now, it's all over. Per-

{ sonality, remember, personality! It's okay to be
| yourself, but be yourself well.

DATING
On a date, the ugly guy Is working for one
thing, that pinnacle of ugly guy sexuality, the
good:night kiss, Any higher form of physical
pleasure will prove too stimulating for an ugly
guy's senses, and he will, undoubtedly, lapse
Into a coma or die instantaneously, Of course,
there are exceptions to the rule, but whatever
the case, the pig-ugly guy must enter into his
big date (actually, any date for an ugly guy Is a
big date) with a thoroughly planned, perfectly
executed strategy, which centers itself around
the all-important kiss,
Three popular ugly guy dating alternatives
are:
1.The Movie - the universal ugly guy dating
arena, This alternative offers the ugly guy the
advantage of darkness, No one can see his
face, not even (and this is key) his date, who is
liable to forget just how hideous he actually
looks. Also, the cinema frees the ugly guy
from his conversational obligations, allowing
him to rest-his supercharged “personality.”
Furthermore, if the movie is good, it puts his
date In a good mood, and she will be more
willing to...(dare we say it?) kiss the ugly guy
qood-night,
2.The Bowling Alley- A great release for the
pent-up frustrations common to all ugly guys.
The two most popular bowling strategies are to
either bow! so well that the date willbe terribly
impressed with the ugly guy's athletic prowess
and bowling skill, or bowling so poorly that the
date feels s0 sorry for the ugly guy, and
doesn't have the heart to tell him he's a toad
later, when he tries to kiss her goodnight.
3. The Bar- Back to the basics, Today, only
the most chauvinistic (or desperate) ugly guy
stil resorts to this callous, but almost surefire '

Faces And Free Verse:

‘method of getting the girl so drunk she forgets
who she’s with, The blagest danger at the bar,
however, is that there are a lot of other guys
around, and a slightly'tipsy date Is liable to
forget that she’s “his” date. Although an emp-
ty bar eliminates the worry of good-looking
sharks stealing the date’s attention, sitting

‘alone watching the bartender wipe glasses
puts a real strain on even a drunken conversa-
tlon.

MONEY

Unrequited love has been a central topic in
male conversations since the first prehistoric
turn-down, but it wasn't until Shakespeare
that sensible advice on how to win your
woman became immortalized in literature,
Although Bill “Shake ‘em down” Shakespeare
had no trouble with women himself, he ob-
viously understood the plight of the ugly guy
pretty well. The opening of Macbeth has the
very worldly villian, lego, telling his friend
Roderigo again and again “put but money in

: For The Ugly Guy

thy pocket!” If you happen to be both ualy and
rich, there's hope. The theory was thet
sometime around 1977, at the height of the
Carter administration as it happened, women
were no longer interested in marying or
dating guys with money unless they also had
Alan Alda’s personality. In retrospective, its
easy to see that this was simply one of those
strange occasions when the media, the com
munists, and the Alan Alda For President
Committee all teamed up to throw that most
industrious and gullible bunch of American
males, the ugly guys, off their guard. Dont
worry: although most women will not openly
admit to being influenced by a date's financial
position, well, let's just say that the more
things change the more they stay the same. Is
still tragically true that the vast majority of
women allow themselves to enjoy a free night
Cn the town. It's also true that a lesser majorly
‘of women will go out with an ugly guy “just
one time” at least if he wedges an offer to pick
her up in his Porsche between his asking her
‘out and her answer, Lavish gifts never hurt the
cause. Plastic surgery is an option that only the
tich-ugly guy can seriously consider. Big
sprays of flowers, though hackneyed, are sil
very effective in helping a woman to see just
how “nice” an ugly guy can be underneath his
big sprays of blackheads.

Naturally, the majority of ugly guys tind
themselves unable to travel the money route,
simply because there Isn't enough money for
all the ugly guys. For the ugly guy who finds
the “personality” option too exhausting, and
the money route too financially constraining,
the only suggestion left would be to accept the
fact that he isn't going to get a date in college,
and to hit the library and study hard enough
so that, four years later, he will be making
‘enough money to market himself successfully,
‘or at least to keep himself drunk enough, often
enough, so that he can forget it all

R.E.M.’s Day Of Reckoning

hey call themselves R.E.M., after the

term rapid eye movement, the rapid,

Jerking eye moments urider closed lids
during deep dreaming sleep. It is quite a fiting
name, because R.E.M. manages to convey
through quirky vocals and bouncy, offen
dancey, music, a rich multi-layered sound that
's dreamy In quality. The velled, impres-
sionistic lyrics are sung by bandmember
Michael Stipe with a slight eccentricity that,
when fused with the simple and beautifully
ctafted instrumentation, provides the perfect
atmosphere for anything from deep sleep to
ecstatic dancing. And therein lies the unl-
quesness of R.E.M.; they can’t be categorized
but, then, they really don't need to be.

Daniel Barth

R.E.M. recently released their second
album, Reckoning, and their new single,
“South Central Rain", nearly four months
after all the critics declared R.E.M. and their
debut LP Murmur the best new’ group and
album for 1983, Similarly, thelr first big effort
on vinyl, an EP called Chronic Town, released
In 1982 on IRS Records, revealed to the critics
and college radio audience that this band was
certainly one to be reckoned with

Their growing popularity, signaled by, the
commercial success of the Murmur sihgle
“Radio Free Europe"(a previously released
1981 debut single), came in spite of the band’s
near indifference to top of the chart success, It
was the music and the little'push by IRS that
sold Murmur.

So from this we receive Reckoning, an
album that combines the more energetic
sounds of Chronic Town with the beautifully
rich and gently emotional sounds of Murmur.
Yet Reckoning takes a step back from the
elborate production“ put 'into Murmur. The
musical layering Isn't quite as precise; the
plano that rounded out Murmur is only faintly
present in Reckoning, But the energy is there
R.E.M. moves on songs like “Pretty Persua
sion"HatBoredat, “att! "Second Guessing”
like a brand new band, dnd still manages to stir
the heart with the delicate and, oh, so unique
voice of Michael Stipe. With backup from the
band, Stipe can plead and punch at the same
time, and the vocals seem to melt into the
sound of the guitars that add mystery to the
Iyries, whose words are often strained or just
incomprehensible to the listener. But when
the words are the least understandable, Stipe’s
amazing vocal quality still conveys the feelings
better than any words. Catching the lyrics
takes time, so after many listenings the songs
are still fresh. This was the case for Murmur,

and Is the case for Reckoning, too.

The ten-song Reckoning has it highlights,
and among them are the songs "7 Chinese
Brothers," “South Central Rain," and “Pretty
Persuasion,” crammed together on side one,
| or the left side, as R.E.M, callsit, “South Cen-
| tral Rain” is the single and deservedly so. It's
got Stipe's crisp sweet pleading vocals, the
best bass heard on the album, and a sparser
but truly beautiful guitar backdrop

"7 Chinese Bros.” has the same mid-
tempo, pretty sound as “South Central,” and
Is actually the same music as the song “Voice
of Harold” found on the “South Central”
12-inch single, In that version Stipe reveals
his southern accent to the world when he talks
through the middle of the song on his
thoughts about the record industry. In the
album version the lyrics are totally different
and Stipe’s delivery reverts back 10 slightly
convoluted singing so that the words are hid:
den behind the vocals, The album version
doesn't have the drive or power of “Voice”
even though the music Is almost exactly the
That just shows how Important the
«vocal quality of the songs can be.
Nonetheless, “7 Chinese Brothers” is an ex
cellent and very beautiful song,

Pretty Persuasion” also contains pro:
nounced drums and a full guitar and vocal ar
rangement. The song moves with a quick
dance fee! while the vocals and instrumenta-
tion melt together to marvelous effect, so that
‘we get the sense of energy and emotion at the
same time, a hybrid that R.E.M. seems to

perfect song alter song,
Listeners may complain of a sameness that
exists in all the songs, but the final cut on side
ones certainly unique, “Time after Time" Is a
slow but powerful song, Its meditative sway-
ing feel \s created by softly bouncing drums
while guitars ring in the background and Stipe
croons in the fore. I builds steadily to an emo-
tional climax of gultars and a fading voice
Very nice
Side two of Reckoning is less a combination
of Murmur and Chronic Town than an exten-
sion of Murmur itself, “Letter Never Sent” a
cut reminiscent of side one of Murmur, very
gentle and introspective and very pretty. And
it manages to be so with a less produced, less
layered sound, in an age when bands improve
only with more production, Producer Mitch
aster and R.E,M, seem to have opted cor
rectly for a sparser sound without hurting the
emotional fervor they can create themselves,
without machines
‘Camera” is in the same vein as “Letter” but
it is slower and softer, very subdued, very
melancholy, It is the longest song on the
album and one of the prettiest, In contrast are
the first song on the side, "Second Guessing,”
and the last, “Little America.” “Second
Guessing” doesn’t have the vocal and in-
strumental arrangement of the others, but is
quick and straightforward, “Little America” Is
a "Shaking Through” imitation, but without
{the musical layering of that song,
Finally, “(Don't Go Back to) Rockville” Is

Jalbum, complete with a saloon plano and
twanging gultar, very good In Its own right,

REM, makes itself a timeless and
regionless band, One can't tell exactly where
they stand, From where and what they are
fone can't decide, yet they owe much to the
past, hailing from the same musical realm as
thelr fellow Georgia counterparts, the B-52's,
} Pylon, and the Method Actors. They have
been called neo-paychedelia, much to thelr
distaste, and southern rock

R.E.M. does attribute much of thelr sound
to country music; Reckoning's “Rockville” and
the vocal quality of “Voice of Harold” attests
‘to that, but they are more complex than
southern music as a whole. Stipe's vocals
‘tend toward the nasal twang commonly heard
from the AM country cowpokes, or maybe
even a band such as Dire Straits, but though
the vocals and music are as simple as, say,
Dire Straits, the combination of the two are
not. R.E.M, exists as much for not hearing as
‘for hearing, permitting an ambiguity in the
lyrics, vocals, and music to hide some mean-
Ing and feeling for subsequent listenings

While straightforward, almost meaningless
|, songs have their place, that place Isn't with
R.E.M. The greatest quality of their music Is
that it can be heard over and over again and
{still have an Impact on the emotions, as the
mystery Is slowly stripped away. It's good to
‘see that musicians can be artists, too and that
R.E.M, can be more than just another band

such a major detall)- but the curious movie-

Joe Dante's Gremlins that seem to matter.

the chore is impossibly Herculean, Thus, on
‘the whole, Gremlins is a vaguely unsatistying

audience finds itself laughing during scenes

decreasing the number of slapstick comedy in

Taking control

ollege is a very scary place.

This isn’t your $00- or 4,000-student high school

from Lynbrook or Penn Yan — it's a huge university

center with tall pillars that look like they're from a bad vision
ina Greek deli.

‘And from the first minute you step on campus, you fee i
timidated.

The new city will scare you, Classes will probably frighten
you and, of course, professors will try as hard as they can to
intimidate you,

Because of all this anxiety building, it’s easy (and quite
common) to pull into a shell and disappear from the world
for a few years, Many college students drag through their
four years of education like turtles, crawling through the
halls of academia and sticking their heads out only for a ex-
am or a beer.

There's much more available at college than just classes
and bars, Not abstract activities to do because they look
good on a resume, but actions to keep control of things that

effect your life.

Student voting

To The Editor,
During the ‘84 annual Student Association of State
University’s membership conference, many issues were pla
ed on the agenda for the 84-85 year, The most important
campaign for us this coming year will be voter registration
and voter turnout, This becomes especially important since
this year is a presidential election year.
There are many reasons why so mui
on getting out the student vote. It is
complete the circle and become a strong represent
for students. We must prove our activism by a strong voter
turnout

With nearly all of the students expressing their opinions
with legislation, or the responses of legislators, it becomes
apparent that the student voice must be heard, ‘The right to
vote is one given to us in order to secure adequate representa
tion, and with the trend moving away from low cost SUNY-
education and the abuse of students’ rights, it is easy to see
the need for a strong student representation at the polls,

With SASU building its credibility throughout the
legislature, itis vital that the students that SASU represents,
show that we are a voting block ready to mobilize a campaign

ig Students issues. Once election time rolls around,

lators will be quite aware of our presence, and
therefore of our rights,

More fees

To the Editor:

Fees, fees everywhere and no money to pay for them. This
is a common dilemma here at SUNY Albany, Every time we
turn around there is another fee being proposed. Since the
summer began, we've had to try to combat a damage fee, in

ranging from the essential bus service to academic freedom,

It means registering to vote, so you can have a say in the -
actions of governments in the towns we live in, Part of Dutch
Quad and all of Indian Quad are in the town of Guilderland,
and the rest of the campus is in the city of Albany. Most off-
campus students live in the city,

Local governments run our new hometowns, and. that
means our police, city services, housing and security regula-
tions, They are,our tie to our new communities,

It means keeping an car open to the student organizations
that represent us to the State Legislature, You'll soon learn
that the quality of a State University education is closely
related to the political mood of the Capitol. With the state
constantly warning of tightening pursestrings, everyone is
needed (0 make sure SUNY’s not a victim of ill-planned
budget cuts.

Overall, it means not being intimidated by the new
authority figures you'll find, No matter where you (urn from
now on, there's a whole list of people you'll have to answer
to — professors, RAs, employers, bill collectors,

Hang strong, You've got a right to have a say in what hap-
pens in your life, and the place to start is here and now.

Wouldn't it be a shame if all you got out of college was a
diploma? a

which on-campus students may be required to pay a $25
damage “deposit.” This “deposit would be used to pay for
damages in the “common areas" (lounges). Our main objec-
tion to this fee lies in the assumption that students are pro-
nouneed “guilty by association,” In other words, the
students would be required to pay for supposed damage
before it occurs, The fee would also mean that many students
wuld be paying for damages that they themselves had
nothing to do with, How could this fee ever be f

We must also not let ourselves forget about the infamous
ever-present, ominous threat of the bus fee. The bus fee is
scheduled to go into effect this summer, This fee contains an
obvious inequity; the students who will pay the brunt of the
fee will be off-campus students, Not to mention that this fee
is totally unnecessary, Student Association has been fighting
this fee for years!

Presently there is a new fee on the agenda — it's
the. , .athletic fee. This fee would climinate student control
of athletics, while jeopardizing many of our athletic pro-
grams as they exist today, especially women's sports, The
athletic fee would put us On our way to being a Division 1
school, While this may seem like an attractive idea to some,
there are many drawbacks, Emphasis at SUNY-Albany will
be shifted from scholarship to athletic prowess, from diversi-
ty to favoritism, from a well-rounded athletic program that
serves all the students, to a program in which men’s football
and basketball rule the gym and all its funds.

In any event, if all these fees become a reality (and there
are many other fees waiting in the wings for us) we will end
up paying more in fees than tuition! Just a side note, fees are
not covered by financial aid or TAP,

It is a very big coincidence that most fees are proposed
and/or implemented during the summer, when most students
have gone home. This is a sad commentary since students are
unable to ‘fight back"” while they are home for the summer.

Students must take a more active role in their education,
and seriously question how their money is being spent. We
can't allow ourselves to be priced out of an education

County eyes ways to make
room for new civic center .

CLASSIFIED _

By David L.L. Laskin

MANAGING EDITOR

Albany County is exploring the
possibility of demolishing several
buildings downtown to clear space
for a proposed civic center site near
the Empire State Plaza.

Controversy has surrounded
sevaral civic center proposals since
early this year when Colonie
developer Joseph Futia unveiled his
plan for the complex. Since then,
bids have appeared from Albany,
Latham, Rensselaer and ahost of
other locations.

One of the first and most in depth
proposals came in late January
from SUNYA President Vincent
O'Leary. His plan outlined a civic
center-fieldhouse complex to be
built across from campus on Fuller
Road and Washington avenue, and
financed jointly by the city, county
and state.

‘The spotlight has shifted from
SUNYA, however, in recent mon-
ths, The State Urban Development
Corporation is currently studying
six possible sites in Albany,
Schenectady and Rensselaer. coun-
ties,

*A $98,000 private report has also
been commissioned to study two
sites in downtown Albany, in an ef-
fort to determine the optimum loca-
tion for a civic center in the city.
The group should release its fin-
dings in July, according to Albany
Mayor Thomas A, Whalen III,

‘One site, known as the B site,
proposed by developer Nathan
Smith, is located east of the Empire
State Plaza and north of its main
entrance road. The area had been
previously passed over because it

onsic to be too small.
Several buildings on Grand and
Beaver. streets could be cleared,
however, to enlarge the area to 3.5
acres, the size planners are seeking
for the civic center,

The other site being studied,
usually called the A site, is east of
the Empire plaza, but south of the
entrance road. This site has been
favored in the past, but now plan-
ners and officials ‘are apparently
undecided as to which will be the
preferred site,

Whalen said that if the county
submits a proposal for the B site,
“we'll support it wholeheartedly.
He explained that “it would bring

who have interests in South Africa because of that country’s alleged racist
policies. In addition, SASU is compiling a list of entertainers who have
performed in that country,

THIS IS THE ONLY ISSUE OF
THE ASP THIS SUMMER. SEE
YOU IN SEPTEMBER.

SASU Isalso working on the New York State Equal Rights Amend-
ment, which the State Senate recently decided not to act on this year,
women safety task forces at member universities, and of course, tuition
hikes and dorm fees.

Again, Wray said, students must turn out to vote in order to back up

. “If students voted, the governor and legislature wouldn't
bbe so apt to raise tuition,’” she said, ‘It all comes down to voting.”

Wray, who attends SUNY Oswego, was elected to her SASU position
earlier this spring. Other new officers are: Brockport student Stu Fried-
man, executive vice president; Plattsburgh student Tom Swan, vice presi-
dent for campus officers; and Stony Brook student Andrew Chien, vice
president for community colleges.

This year, SASU has an operating budget of $250,000, which Wray said
is “not nearly enough.”? She explained that each member university pays
$3 for each student on its campus. Currently, there are 150,000 students
in the New York organization,

Wray said she first got involved in the organization through the SASU
Womens’ Caucus at Oswego. Working on issues such as the Womens’
Caucus or the Third World Caucus is one way for students to become ac-
tive in SASU,

Another way, she said, is to be elected a SASU delegate, For every
3,500 students at a member university, one delegate to SASU can be
elected, Then delegates may run for a director's position of SASU.

This year, SUNYA's SASU representatives are Nathaniel Charny and
Steve Gawley,

SUNYA's Student Association Vice President Suzy Auletta, who was a
SASU community service intern a year ago, hopes more students will get
involved in the organization,

“IT think SASU is a great organization," Auletta said, “They're the
way we get involved, They're the link.”*

For example, Auletta pointed to SASU's successful efforts in such
issues as the defeat of the state-wide 21 drinking age, the restoration of
cut SUNY faculty positions, and the fight against tuition hikes,

New York's SASU, which works with other state SASUs, is the coun-
try’s largest independent statewide student organization, It represents the
SUNY students to the state legislature, governor's office and the SUNY
system administration, SASU’s president also serves as the president of
the SUNY Student Assembly and is a voting member of the SUNY Board
of Trustees. is]

Congress seeking a national 21 drinking age

<Front Page
Tobin claimed that the drinking age topic has
dominated the polls, forcing most congressmen to
“jump on the political bandwagon,"’ in favor of 21.
Ironically, only a few days before the federal action,
the New York State Legislature voted down a proposal
to raise the drinking age to 2! from the current 19.
An intensive lobbying campaign by Governor Mario
Cuomo failed to convince legislators to approve a
drinking age hike.
| After: a period of floor debate in late May, the
\ Assembly defeated the proposal by a vote of 80-69.
Because of the outcome of the Assembly vote, the
| State Senate declined to take up the matter,
Legislators who voted against the bill, which was
1 sponsored by Assemblyman Melvin Zimmer
(D-Syracuse), gave several reasons for their votes.
Many have stated that they find Cuomo’s argument
| that the legislation would save lives ambiguous.
| Graber said that raising the drinking age would
punish the vast majority of young adults between the

ages of 18-21 who are not involved in alcohol-related
accidents.

Some legislators also pointed out that studies show
that the high-risk age group for auto-related accidents
is 18-24, not 18-21, “Raising the drinking age to im-
prove safety runs in the face of facts,"’ sald Graber.

Tougher enforcement and education of young peo-
ple coupled with a mandatory seat belt law would be
more effective, he asserted

A bill calling for mandatory seat belt use recently
passed the State Senate and is expected to become law

Tobin noted that the seat belt law is an alternative to

ising the drinking age and that it it would save 4-5
times more lives than would a drinking age hike.

The bottom line, many observers claim, is that this
issue was deemed by legislators as too hot to deal with
in an election year, The proposal faced powerful op-
position from groups including NYPIRG and the Stu-
dent Association of the State University (SASU).

Additionally, thousands of bar and tavern owners
throughout the state strongly opposed the measure.

adding ‘*We're being very cautious and careful,""

Gibson said that LaValle is waiting for the June
Board of Trustees meeting, where the proposal will be
discussed, before taking any formal action on the bill.

LaValle’s bill would establish a separate athletics fee

} {9 fund intercollegiate sports on’ each campus of the
SUNY system, said Wray.

Unlike the plan under deliberation by the Board of
Trustees, Gibson said, no student athletic fee money
would be used to award athletic scholarships not based
‘on need, Instead, she stressed, scholarship funds would
be obtained through private grants and donations to
the sports program,

ticipation” through student referendum, under

argued that the move will ‘greatly hinder communica-
tion between these co-cxisting interrelated services."*
| Although Auletta expressed other concerns regar-
ding the space and accessability of OCHO's new loca-
tion, she reserved her harshest criticism for what she
believed to be ulterior motives involved in Pogue's
decision
“It is my fear and the fear of other executive staff
members that the switch was done for personal
reasons, We feel Karleen Karlson has done an ex-
emplary job and has contributed much time and
energy to the university through her work with the
students, faculty and the administration. Losing
Karleen's close proximity is rather disturbing,"” Aulet-
ta wrote, “It is my sincere hope that this move was
done in the best interests of alf concerned, but it is my
feeling that it was not, It seems as though yet another
student service his gotten caught up in the
bureaucracy.
SA President Rich Schaffer agreed that the decision
may not have been made for completely professional
reasons. He said that Karlson’s tendency to "'speak her
. mind”? gets many people upset. In addition, Schaffer

said, Karlson’s role as a student activist and her close
| working relationship with SA sometimes bothers her
| fellow administrators,

“1 think there is going to be a lot of friction between
Karleen Karlson and (Assistant Vice President for Stu-
dent Affairs and Director of Residential Life) John
Martone, In his position now, I don’t think he has a
good understanding of what OCHO is about,” said
Schaffer, ‘I think they have two different styles that
aren't going to mesh."*

Responding to charges of a personality conflict bet-
ween himself and Karlson, Martone said that ‘it's pro-

{| bably one of the most ridiculous things I've heard.
Karleen and 1 are friends, I don’t know what the big
concern is,"” He added that "There are many people
on our staff, including myself, that are excited about
her arrival,"*

LaValle’s proposal, said Gibson.

Wray said that Siegel and LaValle would “try to
ramrod (the bill) through the Senate and the
Assembly.””

“We're (SASU) doing a lot of talking," said Wray.
“We've let the word out that we don’t like this."”

A Board of Trustees-appointed task force had
recently proposed to the Board a similar plan for an
athletic fee, but the Board has not yet taken any action
on the fee idea.

The task force proposal, which is not connected
with any possible legislation, was met with unified op-
position from student leaders, In an interview in May
Jim Tierney, then SASU president, called the plan "an
administrative power grab," and stressed that
“students will fight this tooth and nail.”” i

Martone went on to note the advantages of having
OCHO placed within the Residential Life offices. ‘1

Port, computer support, and other resouces she will be

Martone sai

At the center of the controversy is Karlson, who has
directed the office since 1976. In recalling OCHO's
move to the Campus Center from Ten Eyck on Dutch
Quad in January of 1977, Karlson said the move caus-
ed a great increase in the utilization of the office, and
projected that the current relocation will result in a 75
percent decrease in the student traffic of the office.
According to Karlson, in the last two years OCHO's
surveys have shown that one out of every two students
used the office

Administrative Services, which among other things
is where students frequent to pay their Health Services
bills, will be moved to the spot OCHO is vacating, ac-
cording to Karlson

In response to the alleged personality conflicts,
Karlson did acknowledge that different philisophical
perspectives do exist, However, she maintained that
these and/or any other differences will not stop her
from doing her job. “I'm too much of a professional
to let personality get in the way. | think the staff over
at Residential Life is of such a caliber that 1 will enjoy
working with them," Karlson said.

In Karlson’s office, student advisors are trained as
para-legals and are able to help students with many
concerns that do not require the attention of Mishler
Student advisor Pete Trevouledes said the move will
have a negative impact on OCHO’s ability to reach out
to clients."*With this move we are we are going 1o lose
the people who just casually walk into the office to ask
@ question about apartment life. Those people are very
important because often their problems are much more
important than they thought,” Trevouledes sai
“The casual clients make up a substantial percentage
of the people we service,”*

Conklin parts with Albany; as always a winner

By Keith Marder
“SPORTS EDITOR

After transfering from the Division 1
University of Buffalo Bob Conklin more
than lived up to his advanced billing as a
talented ‘baseball player in his tenure as an
Albany State Great Dane,

Not only was he a consistent performer on
the field, he a! 5 willing to sacrifice
himself for the te 1 A, rime example of this
would be that afte. joying two years of All-
SUNYAC fame at his thitd base position
Conklin was willing to move to the outfield
for the good of the team, All he found in
the outfield was more success as he was nam-
ed to the All-Conference team for a third
straight season this season,

Conklin took his switch to the outfield in
stride as he commented, ‘At the beginning 1
Was a little shaky in center but once I moved
to left I got used to it,"

‘The move really turned out to be a big plus
to the team as Conklin's replacement at third
base, Howie Hammond was named to the
honorable mention AllSUNYAC team,

Ed Zaloom who was Conklin's fourth
manager since he was at Albany State realiz-

ed the importance of having Conklin on the
team, “Bob has meant a lot to the program
at Albany since he got here," said the coach,
“Especially this year as he was one of only
three seniors, He was a pleasure to have on
my team and to coach,

‘As was expected Conklin had a great year

swinging the bat, He was the team leader in
four offensive categories with three home

‘The freshman Hammond was the team
leader with 22 hits and a .400 batting average,
Hammond finished in second place with one

Conklin has had many fine moments in his
stay at Albany, but, a few stick out in his

one day against Oneonta this past season or
the basesd loaded triple in the seventh inning
to secure an 11-7 victory against Cortland.

Another one of Conklin’s finest moments
was during his sophomore year when Albany
‘was taking on Middlebury, Conklin got up to
the plate and sent a-rocket sailing way over
the fence, Conklin just stood at home plate
admiring his shot ala Reggie Jackson, Going
through his mind at that time was, “I don’t

prowess that earned Conklin the nickname

“Coach Zaloom gets a lot of respect from
alfof his players,"'sald Conklin. ‘*He earns it
through his vast knowledge of the game,

“He has a very young and talented team
for next season Howie (Hammond), Fred
Saccocio and John Kakely are only
freshman, They all have very promising
careers ahead of them.

‘As far as I'm concerned coach Zaloom
has only one fault. He is always listening to
Willie Nelson and country western music
isn’t really my cup of tea," joked Conklin
about the fact that Zaloom spends much of
his free time relaxing and listening to Willie
Nelson tapes.

Conklin believes that the Danes have a
very good shot at taking the SUNYAC litle
next year, ‘*They have a very good team
for next year, besides me every other starter is
returning," said Conklin,

Next year Conklin will attend Syracuse
University Law School and s: that there
would be no problem for him to make it back
to see the Danes play.

end of an even 1-1 score because of
the last tiebreaker rule.

But in the eyes of DeMeo, the
‘match wasn't close: ‘I scored the
match 9-0 for Shawn. I thought the
referee called a couple of his throws
‘out of bounds that weren't.””

So DeMeo wasn't too surprised
at Sheldon’s shutout victory last
week: ‘I think it just took time to
get used to T.J.'s style," said
DeMeo. ‘Once he did, Shawn pro-
ved to be the stronger wrestler,"”

DeMeo is banking that Sheldon
will have top-seeded Fuller's style
mastered if they should meet,
Sheldon was thrashed by the 23
year-old in 1981’s Junior World
Championship in Minnesota, 15-3,
but the match wasn't as bad as it
seems, DeMeo wanted that match
to serve as a sort of experimentation
for Sheldon, who had never wrestl-
ed Fuller before,

“1 just told him to use all his
moves and later we'll sort out the
ones that worked," said DeMeo,
who tried out in 1964 for the Olym-
pic team. ‘We videotaped the
match and we've seen it a number
of times,”

DeMeo wouldn't disclose some
of the findings, but he seemed
pleased with what he saw on the
screen. “Shawn was able to. stop
Fuller's best two moves.?*

DeMeo, who flew to Michigan on
Friday, is planning to hold practice
sessions for his two Dane All-
American wrestlers everyday this
week while also donating time with
Shawn on reviewing the strategy
against Fuller. But DeMeo has
eight other responsibilities: the
other Adirondack club qualifiers,
DeMeo will be on the mat all week
coaching 114.5 pound Jeff Clark,
125.5 pound Wade Genova, 155.5

Lester Ware, and heavyweight Jeff
Blatnick.

Regardless of this weekend's out-
come, Seras and Sheldon will still
‘make the trip to Los Angeles, Their

alternate spot.

SUMMER 1984

One more match for Dane Olympic hopefuls

By Marc Berman

SPORTS EDITOR

For two Albany State wrestlers, their five
year-old Olympic dreams have reached the
brink of reality. The cumbersome trail the
{wo have been required to endure in order to
gain a berth on the 1984 U.S.A. Olympic
team has reached its final pit stop— the Final
Olympic Trials,

In some romote town in Michigan named
Allendale, Dane All-American wrestlers An-
dy Seras and Shawn Sheldon will be putting
their Albany State purple and gold uniforms
away ih the drawer, and will instead, fight for
the right to wear Uncle Sam's red, white, and
blue at the upcoming 1984 Summer Games in
Los Angeles.

Although the Trials, which are being held
on the campus of Grand
started this past weekend, the two will not ap-
pear on the mats until this Friday and Satur-
day.

Their strong placement on the proverbial
Trial ladder leaves the two of them in a most
auspicious position

By placing first in last weeks Final Olympic
Qualifying Tournament in the 149.5 Ib. divi-
sion (68 kilos), Seras' name is situated on the
top rung of the ladder- meaning he needs on-
ly a victory over one opponent to cich his
name in the United States Greco-Roman star-
ting lineup. Seras will wait in the wings this
week and watch the five wrestlers ranked

goes undefeated in France

The Albany State men's basketball tcam
Fecently took their show overseas when they
went to France. Don’t be surprised if they are
not invited back.

AS a matter of fact, the Danes returned
home sporting an unblemished 4-0 record,
They also won the scrimmage they played in

The first two wins did not come easily to
the Danes as they were only able (o manage
Harrow one-point victories. To win these
games Albany had to overcome the strong
Performances turned in by fellow American
Skeeter Jackson, who amassed aver 80 points
in the (wo games. Jackson was eligible to play
on both the Charonton team and the Racing
Club of Paris squad because he is switching
from one to the other for next season,

“He was the best player I have ever played
against," said Dane point guard Dan
Croutier who played against the likes of An-
dre Hawkins from Syracuse and Notre
Dame's Tim Kempton while playing for St
Agnes High School,

Croutier had. an outstanding trip of his
own, The 5'7"* Croutier was up to his usual
tricks as he had 48 points, 28 assists and
countless steals to show for his trip. His
Quickness and court smarts won over the
French spectators,

“The crowds really liked him," said
Albany State Head Coach Dick Sauers.
“They recognized his ability."”

Great Dane player Greg Hart echoed his
coach's sentiments,"'They thought he was
Breal, they really liked him.

Dave Adam, Croutier’s back court partner
told this: story that epitomized Croutier’s
Popularity, "The family { stayed with asked
™Me who was the best player on the team, and
‘pointed 10 Danny,"*recalled the Niskayuna
native,** They said, ‘him, but he is so short’.
Mold, them'*just watch the game.

“He really impressed them, he stole ‘the
ball from one guy four times in a row. He
would tet the guy dribble by him and then
steal the ball from behind and then send it
down court for a fast-break basket."

That incident happened before the game
against Les Pallaides which Albany won han:
dily 100-87, To go along with his 10 steals,
Croutier also compiled six assists and 14
points

Two other players who made
presence felt were Hart and Rich Chapman,
“Greg played the best of the big men,"’said
Sauers. “Rich has very good instinets aroun
the basket."”

Hart believes this trip will be a big factor in
the Dane's success next season. “It is yoing
to be great for us,"*said, Hart, “I think it is
what we needed to take the league next

their

year.

Hart shot 21-36 over the four games . He

also pulled down a team high 24 rebounds.

an pulled down 17 rebounds including
seven of which came in the Dane's final
game, a 93-75 drubbing of Club De Maurin,

Another player who played with renewed
confidence was Brian Kauppila, Kauppila
scored 29 points and had 10 assists 10 his
credit.

Said Croutier, “I think it (the trip) will
help us next year. Greg (Hart) and Brian
Kauppila definitely gained confidence.

‘Adam led the team in scoring with 62
points as he picked up right where he left off
the season as he shot a sizzling 28-47 in
France. John Mracek was second in scoring
with 50 points just edging out Croutier and
Hart for those honors as they compiled 48
points.

Whether the reviewing of the videotapes

He's got to wrestle Martinez in a rougher
style than other wrestlers,” analyzed DeMco,
“Wrestling is a rough sport as itis, but Seras
