SA humor magazine SONIKOVETSY continues

Funds remain frozen
as vote falls short

By PJ. Marcus
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

The budget of the Hokum humor
magazine remains frozen after a vote in
Wednesday’s Central Council meeting.

A bill was introduced by Council Chair
Nadya Lawson that would have unfrozen
Hokum’s budget, and required that
Student Association Affrimative Action
Officer John Jenkins review Hokum’s text
before it went to press.

This bill, according to Council
members, was largely a result of meetings
earlier in the week between Jenkins and

Mike Lettera UPS

Hokum’s Editor-in-Chief, Bill Braine,

Braine said he agreed to let Jenkins
review further issues and point out
potentially offensive material.

Hokum would not be required to
Temoye such material, but failure to do so
could result in further disciplinary action,
Councilmembers said.

Braine, who was in attendance at the
Council meeting, apologized for the
offensive material in the magazine’s last

issue,

Braine said that the magazine was not
designed or intended to offend anyone.
He also denied earlier accusations of his
magazine advocating hatred or abusing
the right to freedom of speech.

Braine was questioned by council
members about his ignorance of the
offensive nature of the material that he
published.

Beth Zuckerman asked,” Do you realize
that it wasn’t the topics, but the
organizations you offended along the
way? How do you justify attacking
Middle Earth?”

Braine responded by saying that the
word ‘Hokum’ means nonsense, or
“bullshit,” and that, “It’s not to be taken
seriously. We're not saying that people

UAS announces ban on styrofoam

By Morgan Lyle
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Starting in January, styrofoam products will
no longer be used in SUNYA cafeterias, a
University Auxiliary Services official said.

E. Norbert Zahm, General Manager of
UAS; said his company, which provides food
Services to the university, will use paper trays,
cups, plates and bowls instead of the
Polystyrene products it uses now.

The ban is seen as a victory by the New
York Public Interest Research Group
(NYPIRG), which staged a rally and collected
2,800 signatures on a petition urging UAS to
do away with styrofoam, NYPIRG maintains
that both the product’s manufacture and
disposal are harmful to the environment.

“We are glad to see that UAS has realized
‘the potential danger of these products,” said
Laurie Valeriano, co-project leader of
NYPIRG’s Environmental Preservation
Project.

But Zahm portrayed the ban as a
Cooperative effort by UAS and NYPIRG, and
he praised the non-profit consumer advocacy

and environmental activism group’s work in
tallying public support.

“We asked them to help us get the attention
of people on the campus...they were very
aggressive about it and did an excellent job,”
Zahm said.

Zahm said the switch to paper will cost
UAS $30,000 a year. But he said he does not
expect prices to rise, because UAS plans to
urge customers to use hard plastic trays,
enabling the company to spend less on
disposable ones.

UAS plans to purchase 2,000 paper trays at
first, but may buy as many as 5,000, Zahm
said.

“The key really is, if people will use the
hard trays, over the course of a year, there’s a
lot of saving for us,” he said. |

Zahm estimated that between 3,500 and
4,000 people eat in SUNYA cafeterias every
day.

Valeriano said that SUNY Cortland has
stopped using styrofoam, and that SUNY
Geneseo is phasing it out. Also, some Albany
high schools are planning to stop using it, she
said.

fiéed an ~ experienced,
accomplished leader who
knows the inside of SA...Next
semester starts Jan. 23 and it’s
going to take him (Halber)
about two months to learn the
avenues of SA, and by then
it'll be time for spring
elections to take place.”

According to Faulhaber, this
year especially, outsiders have
proven to be ineffective and
costly. “SA is plagued with
resignations and people
leaving because they can’t
learn fast enough. There’s no
time for anyone to be
lethargic.”

Faulhaber said that it is
impossible to read a book on
how to play basketball and
expect to play well from just
the knowledge obtained from
the book. “To be effective, you
need experience to play the
game.”

Halber said he feels he “can
jump right in and handle” the
position and that he was
impressed with the support he
received in the amount of time
he had to campaign.

“Council is not the only
training ground for students—
it’s just one of many.” Halber
said it is possible for someone
who has “other valuable
experience can do an effective
job.”

Halber said that throughout
the campaign, he tried “to
emphasize the fact that I’ve
been a group leader and that
it’s the best kind to have...I
also have diverse experience
and can grapple with a
problem, put it under control
and handle it.”

Hokum editor claims
rights infringed

By Kerri Lewis
STAFF WRITER

Central Council voted Wednesday on
whether to restore funding for the Student
Association-funded humor magazine
“Hokum.” The motion to “un-freeze” the
magazine’s budget was defeated by one
vote.

Last year Hokum was warned to be
more careful with its humor since
complaints over the magazine’s content
had been brought to the SA Affirmative
Action Committee.

Central Council Vice Chair Paul
Faulhaber said the group was given an
affirmative action rider. Upon violation of
this conditional funding, the group’s funds
would be taken away. The rider held the
group to a policy of non-discriminatory
publishing.

The SA Budget Committee last spring
gave the group enough money to print its
first issue of the 1989-90 school year or
enough to give the magazine “a fresh
Start.”

But further complaints were brought to
John Jenkins, SA affirmative action
officer this year, Faulhaber said,

Bill... Braine, .editor-in-chief_of
“Hokum,” expressed disapproval that no
complaints were brought to him directly.

“We have a mailbox in the student
Association office,” he said. “There was
an explicit invitation that if anyone was
offended they should write in. The
mailbox is empty. All the information we
have received is second or third hand.”

Braine also said the magazine was
infuriated that Council members claimed
it advocated hatred and violated freedom
of speech. “There is no hatred in the
pages of ‘Hokum.’ The only hatred is that
which is projected by readers who place it
there,” he said. In addition, he said
“freedom of speech can not be
conditional.”

“There was no intention on our part to
offend anyone,” Braine said, and “what
was said was supposed to be humorous, ~
not a slight against ethnic or minority
groups.”

Braine, defending the magazine against
accusations that its tone was culturally
biased said, “Some are offended by the
tone of the magazine but a college humor
magazine isn’t supposed to be like an
episode of the “The Brady Bunch.” The

Czech govt. reforms

Prague, Czechoslovakia
(AP) Parliament has yielded to the
relentless tide of reform and voted to give
non-Communists a chance at power, and
the premier says he’s willing to seek a
pullout of Soviet troops, who crushed
1968 reforms.

Communist Premier Ladislav Adamec
also asked opposition forces to suggest
members of a new government, and
lawmakers took steps toward eliminating
the teaching of Marxist doctrine from the
nation’s classrooms.

The historic concessions to the populist
pro-democracy movement were the latest,
and perhaps most significant, in an
explosive sequence of change that has
stirred a nation that a month ago seemed
entrenched in orthodox Communism.

The opposition is demanding free
elections and one leading Communist
official suggested such balloting could be
held within a year.

Assassin arrested

Johannesburg, South Africa
(AP) A former police detective has been
arrested in the assassinations of two
prominent white activists, one in South
Africa and one in Namibia, police said
yesterday.

Police refused to identify the suspect.
They confirmed the arrest only after

Newspapers, reported it, An official
statement said further arrests in the two
assassinations were possible.

The 31-year-old suspect, a white former
narcotics investigator, was arrested earlier
this month in connection with the killings
of David Webster, a university lecturer
and human rights activist in Johannesburg,
and Anton Lubowski, a lawyer who was

the only senior white official of Namibia’s
main independence movement, the South-

West Africa People’s Organization.

Both men were shot to death outside
their homes- Webster on May 1 in
Johannesburg, and Lubowski on Sept. 12
in Windhoek, Namibia.

Coup is attempted

Manila, Philippines
(AP) Mutinous troops tried to enter the
headquarters of the Philippine air force
early Friday in an apparent coup attempt.

The military chief placed troops on alert
nationwide after saying he had ancovered
the new plot to topple President Corazon
Aquino.

Defense Secretary Fidel Ramos said
two companies of Philippine marine loyal
to renegade Lt. Col. Gregorio “Gringo”
Honasan tried to enter Villamor Air Base

but that pro-government troops “are
defending the place.”

Ramos said there had been no shooting.
He also said 13 mutinous soldiers dressed
in civilian clothes were arrested in the
Mutinluoa suouro after trying to infiltrate
the capital from nearby Quezon province.

Christmas gift bombs

Los Angeles, California
(AP) The discovery of what officials
believed to be a bomb inside a suitcase
headed for a Colombian jetliner turned out
to be a video game bought as a Christmas
ift,
Sony after the suitcase was blown up by
a police bomb squad did experts
determine that the suspected explosive
device was a video game. And the owner
is angry.
Carlos Arias said the game was a
Christmas gift for his nephews in Bogota.

Old man winter leaves his tracks...

He said his niece was taking the suitcase
that also contained Christmas cards, other
gifts and money, on a Christmas trip to
Colombia.

“I asked why they had to blow it up,”
Arias said. “They didn’t have to. The
name, address and phone number for my
niece were on the suitcase. They could
have just called and asked someone what
was inside. We would have opened it up.”

Daniel Lang, the bomb squad's
commanding officer said there was
“nothing to snicker about" in the handling
of the incident.

Cancer link found

Washington, D.C.
(AP) A leading U.S. scientist says there is
statistical evidence of a possible link
between cancer and exposure to
electromagnetic fields that radiate from
the cables and wires that electrify the
nation.
The untroubled findings by Dr.
Genevieve Matanoski, an epidemiology
professor at Johns Hopkins University,

Michael Leterra UPS

run against the grain of traditional
scientific theory about the possibility of
health dangers from power distribution
lines.

Her conclusions fit an emerging pattern
of evidence, however, that the possibility
of health risks can no longer be ruled out
and should be studied more closely.

“This is consistent with my judgment...
that we'll end up seeing electric and
magnetic fields are cancer promoters of
some kind,” said Indira Nair, a physicist
at Carnegie Mellon University and co-
author of a recent comprehensive
background paper on the issue for the
federal Office of Technology Assessment.

Ms. Matanoski said in a telephone
interview Wednesday that her findings
were preliminary and required further
testing, but that the results changed her
view of the still unproven theory about a
cancer link to power lines.

Tuxedo war started

Tuxedo Park, NY
(AP) The latest social flash from Saratoga
Springs is the nervy boast that the tuxedo
debuted there. And that’s turned up noses
in exclusive Tuxedo Park, which has
claimed the tux as its own since the
1880s.

Ed Hotaling, a columnist for the
Saratogian newspaper, broached the
sensitive subject when his recent column
challenged Tuxedo Park’s claim to
fashion leadership in formal wear.

Hotaling wrote that “Saratoga will, win
this war” over whose history of the
tuxedo can be believed.

“T think generally their claim isn’t very
well-documented,” the columnist says. “I
think, at best, they could claim they gave
the name to the dinner jacket, but I don’t
think they can say they introduced it or
were the first to wear it.”

Unemployment falls

Albany
(AP) New York state’s unemployment
rate is once again below the national
average, falling to 4.6 percent in October,
state Labor Department officials Teported
yesterday.

The state unemployment rate for
September was 5.2 percent, In October of
last year, the state unemployment rate
stood at 4.2 percent.

The U.S. rate ws3 5.1 percent in :
September and fell to 5.0 percent in
October.

New York’s unemployment rate has
consistently been below the national
figure since the mid-1960s, but this year it
has edged above the national rate in three
different months.

Money raised for ACS

Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity raised
money for the American Cancer Society
lon Nov. 17th.

The money was raised through a coin
drop on Washington Avenue as a part of
ITKE Week. The coin drop is an annual
event, and this year raised $1,420.00.
According to event organizer Keith
Brown, it was a success. TKE has raised
lover $4,000 in the last three years.

TKE Stefan Lichter said that it was, “a
fun time to be had for all.” He also said
that the people there had a good time. The
police closed down the drive after almost
five hours, because they were concerned
about the students being in the road.

Book exchange retums

The NYPIRG/SA Book Exchange has
returned to the SUNYA campus to help
students save money. Students can use the
Book Exchange to sell books directly to
other students. Through the Exchange,
sellers can earn more and buyers can pay
less for books than they would at the
bookstore.

Students who want to sell books should
pick up cards in the SA Office (CC116),
the NYPIRG Office (CC382) or at Quad
ISA suggestion boxes. The completed card
should be returned to those same
locations.

Next semester, students can go to the
SA Office and find out who is selling
books that they need. In a printed
statement, Jennifer DeScisciolo, NYPIRG
Book Exchange Coordinator said,” Books
lare sold for less than the bookstore price,
lyet sellers make more than if they used
Barnes & Nobles. NYPIRG works on
student rights, and students should not be
forced to buy and sell books from one
source. Along with SA, we provide the
[Book Exchange to protect students from
being ripped off.”

For more information, students can call
INYPIRG at 442-5658 or SA at 442-5640.

President Fermin Espinosa,

Espinosa stressed student
involvement by reminding the
audience of a 1986 rally
against SUNYA funds
invested in South Africa. He
emphasized. that “students are
the focal. point of
inspiration...they always bring
about successful reforms.” For
examples, he pointed to the
recent student protest in
China, and the protests of the
1960's.

Espinosa said, “change must
occur as soon as possible..and
benefit all.” He than asked the
audience to challenge
themselves to help people who
would benefit from their
efforts. He ended his speech
with the cry that “we (the
students) are catalysts of

change.”
Following Espinosa was
Lambert. He reiterated

Espinosa’s message and added
that “people refer to South
Africa as ‘over there’...we
can’t separate with

geographic barriers, we are the
same people.”

due to the unexpected delay
of the guest speaker, the
audience was allotted time to
ask the Council members
questions dealing with
apartheid and racism. One
female member of the
audience, describing herself as
“an average student,” asked
what the individual can do to
break down the barriers of
racism’ on campus. The reply
by all speakers, including those
around he, was “if you know
that there is a problem, do
something about it.” Later
during the discussion period, a
male student emphasized
unification, stating, “when it
comes down to it, we have to
take things into our own
hands.”

About eighty people heard
the message of student
unification against apartheid.
SCAAR. is now working on
plugging the SUNYA chapter
of the ANC so that the fight
against apartheid in South
Africa will have more support.
The coalition itself noted that
unity is the key to
accomplishment because
without it, there are too many
groups fighting for the same
cause, but not being heard loud
enough.

Budget may include extra fees

By T. E. Kane
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

The Student Association of the State
University assailed the SUNY budget,
which was passed by the Board of
Trustees, in October, because it increases
the cost of an education at the university.

The budget calls for the implementation
of a university parking fee estimated by
officials to gather an additional $1 million
in revenues. This is in addition to a $3
million parking fee appropriated in this
year’s budget.

SUNY officials also included in the
budget for the coming fiscal year a health
fee that would raise more than $500,000
in funds.

Although specific plans for the parking
fee have not been worked out by
individual campuses, University officials
expect the cost for each student to be
about $50 to $60 . The cost of the health
fee has not yet been developed in detail by
officials.

The allocation of these fees, without
their implementation, means that the
SUNY system is running a deficit of
nearly $4 million in this year’s budget, if
the yet to be collected funds of nearly $3
million from the University participation
in the New York Network is included.
That alone with the $232 million in cuts
ordered by Gov. Mario Cuomo for the
current fiscal year, puts the deficit at $28
million.

SUNY Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone,
said the $22 million in cuts ordered by the
Governor will not be as harsh as first
expected by the central administration
because the University is in better
financial shape than an anticipated. He
said since the current budget was not

“actually signed until late July, the

University could not spend new funds
until that time.

“This caused the University to have
more cash available to offset the spending
ceiling imposed by Cuomo,” Johnstone

said.

In other words, the University has been
able to adjust its spending virtually from
the beginning , allowing it to spend less
by delaying the hiring of administrative
and maintenance personnel, and not
cutting major academic programs and
faculty, University officials said,

SASU leaders said the $6 million deficit
from uncollected fees represents cutbacks
in University spending because SUNY has
not devised specific plans to bring in these
revenues, and probably won’t be in place
sometime in December or January.

S g UPD for $1m

A $62,000 a year aide to State Senator Manfred Orenstein (D-Manhattan) has filed
a $1 million lawsuit against Albany State Department of Public Safety for alleged
damages that occurred after his arrest last summer,

The ‘Suit, which was filed in Albany’s Court of Claims late last month, claimed
that Mike Cetrino was kicked and Pummelled by University police officers as they
brought him in to custody after a softball game on the campus,

Assistant Director of Public Safety at Albany, James Henighan, said that Cetrino
refused arrest by officers for an altered license and that the force used by the officer
to apprehend the suspect was well within the law given the circumstances,

“Tn no way did the officer beat the Suspect as claimed,” Henighan said.

Jack Lester, attomey Tepresenting Cetrino said instead of given a summons, which
would be the standard according to the offense, the officer insisted on handcuffing

: Henighan said the suspect had a warrant for his arrest from the city of Albany, and
in that situation the assailant had to be brought in on those charges.

The Warrant stems from a previous summons given by University police officers
for a drivers license that was altered, earlier in the summer on the same playing field,

Lester maintains that University police did not have to handcuff and “rough up”
his client for some minor mistake on his license. He said the University police had
actually laid in waiting for his Client, knowing that he played softball on that filed on
a regular basis, and that the officers came on to the field in the middle of the game to

“Regardless of the charges, the officer was too aggressive in their handling of my
client and went beyond the boundaries of law,” Lester said.

Henighan said that the officer happened to run into Cetrino because there were
often parking problems near that field and one of the cars was Cetrino’s.

along SUNY’s inability to balance its
budget on to the students. These fees are
not calculated in determining the

SUNYA Professor in Berlin during upheaval

By Kimberly Pratt

Political Science Professor
John Gunnell could never have
expected what he saw first-hand
when he recently visited West
Berlin, Germany, with the
intention of attending a
conference on the History of
Social Sciences.

He had stumbled onto history
in the making, the opening of
the borders between East and
West Germany.

Gunnell observed the
overwhelming reaction of
surprise first hand as he and
fellow colleagues travelled the
quarter of a mile from their
hotel to the wall that had
formally separated East and
West Germany. Gunnell said the
thousands of people standing at
the wall “were simply dazed.”

He said reasons for this
extreme reaction were possibly
that there was no formal
announcement by the
government. “They just opened
the borders and news travelled
by word of mouth.

“Everywhere, there were
people celebrating by opening
champagne, handing out
flowers, and dancing in the
streets. To say the least the
reaction of the people was
positive,” Gunnell said.

Gunnell said he decided to try
a little border-crossing himself
and walked across on the bridge

over River Sperre. As he was
doing so, he noticed again the
people’s reactions. “The people
crossing looked amazed at how
easy it was,” he said.

The formally stern and strict
guards were just figures now.
Gunnell said he did however
take the opportunity to stop and
ask a guards opinion on what
had happened. He said the guard
simply commented, “Reason has
triumphed.”

According to Gunnell, due to
the incredibly low value of the
East German mark, one
sixteenth of the West German
mark, every person crossing the
border from East to West
received one hundred West
German marks. The key here is
the anticipated spending.

It may seem as if the West
Germans would be losing a lot
of money in doing this, he said,
but a majority of this money will
be directly pumped back into the
West German economy by the
people. many products, such as

Gunnell said that it is still too
early to speculate on the
economic ramifications of the
situation. He did, however,
express his opinion that East
Germany may have some
problems in the future holding
on to its labor force.

Presently, many aliens from
Turkey are employed in East
Germany. It can be expected, he
said, that many will cross to
West Germany for better paying
jobs. This could cause some
economic tensions.

According to Gunnell, this
drastic move by the government
impels some to question the
chances for unification of East
and West Germany in the future,
He said this is likely even
though political analysts are
discussing it.

Gunnell spoke of a discussion

Johnstone talks about the cost of college

By T.E. Kane and Morgan Lyle

Running an operation the size of the State University of
New York - with its $1.5 billion budget and more than
380,000 students at campuses ranging from tiny community
colleges to sprawling university centers like Albany and
Buffalo - is no small undertaking.

And the size and complexity of the system lead to
innumerable pressures from often competing interests, like
students who demand access and affordability, faculties who
fight for stronger programs, and the state itself, which foots
the bill for much of the operation, and must answer to
taxpayers.

When D. Bruce Johnstone left the presidency of SUNY’s
College at Buffalo to become the system’s chancellor in the
summer of 1988, the first order of business he faced - a
request from Gov. Mario Cuomo to cut the University’s
budget by $90 million - was his baptism by fire. Student
leaders were outraged when he proposed a “modest” tuition
hike to offset the cuts; and Cuomo publicly berated the
system’s management, calling it inefficient. The system is
tun by academics, not administrators, who would know how
to tighten the belt, Cuomo said.

Johnstone weathered the ensuing 12-month budget battle,
and the University wound up getting most of the funding it
requested through some financial juggling. The state
Legislature approved a tuition hike, but Cuomo vetoed it.
Funding was primarily restored through complicated
refinancing plans and increased fees.

Now, Johnstone has requested nearly as much as he did
last year to keep the system running. He says the University
has worked more closely with state budget planners to
devise a workable plan than it had in the past; still,
depending on the state’s financial condition at the end of
this fiscal year, he may face the whole battle again.

“I was surprised by the depth of the initial fiscal crisis,
and I was disappointed by the contentiousness I felt we
were engaged in,” Johnstone said of the budget ordeal
Tuesday. “Although I understand the politics - we're
political. I mean, we're a large public entity that lives
principally on taxpayer resources, for the benefit of the
public. So I can’t and don’t expect SUNY to be insulated
from politics.

“Having said that, one of my goals, when I first came in,
was to lessen the volatility of the budget process,” he said.
Noting that tight times and budget trimming are hardly
unheard ofat public universities, he said the best way he
could help individual campuses and schools is by protecting
them from the shock that even predictions of severe
cutbacks can cause.

“It’s vastly more destructive to have to cope with wild
swings of what your fortunes might be. Having to plan for
as high as a $90 million cut, and then when the executive
budget comes out, planning for a $47 million cut, having
funding really entirely restored by the legislature and then
having a $28 million cut when the tuition increase was
vetoed and having to go back again...what happens is the
campuses just get terribly buffeted and demoralized by this.

“What I try to do is absorb as much of this as I can,
without hiding from the campuses that there may be real
problems,” he said.

“We could have gone to the campuses and parcelled out
$90 million worth of cutbacks, of which SUNY Albany’s
share might have been, say, five or six million dollars, and

_. .invites you to consider a career in teaching.

FILE
SUNY Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone

said ‘tell me exactly how you'd cut six million dollars. Who
do you fire, what programs do you terminate, what students
do you throw out in the street, what buildings do you shut
down?’ I didn’t do that. I didn’t think we’d wind up with a
$90 million cut.

“So on the one hand, I had to take seriously the fact that
something was happening, and that we might very well have
to absorb a very substantial cut of some indeterminate
nature. But I didn’t want the campuses to go into a
convulsion of planning actual cuts, planning who would be
fired. That’s the way we try to buffer the campuses from that
which is probably not going to happen.”

Threats of sweeping budget cuts can be almost as harmful
to campuses as actual cuts, he said.

“Tt does terrible damage. Higher education is a very
fragile institution... one two- or three- month period where
everyone decides the world is coming to an end, and you
stop recruiting faculty.and stop recruiting students, and then
(say) ‘gosh, I guess it’s okay after all,’ by then, the damage
is done, My job is to try to handle that in such a way that if
in fact it does come to pass, we know what to do, and yet Gf
the cuts do not happen) we have not passed down all this
yolatility to the campuses.”

Cuomo’s claim that SUNY is not run by administrators
was probably not directed at Johnstone, who has spent the
last half of his 23-year career in administrative positions.
The Minneapolis native, who received his Bachelor’s degree
in economics and his Master’s in social science education
from Harvard, and his Ph.D. in higher education from the
University of Minnesota, held various jobs - ranging from
economics teacher in Connecticut to administrative assistant
to then Sen. Walter Mondale (D-Minnesota) - between
graduating in 1966 and 1972, when he signed on with the
University of Pennsylvania. By 1979, he had worked his

De

way up to vice president for administration at that school. In
August of 1979, he became president of SUNY Buffalo.

Though he acknowledges that “every president would like
to say he’s a teacher at heart,” Johnstone said, “I’m
principally an administrator; I confess to that, I’ve been
mainly in positions of administration all my life. But I do
love teaching. I taught regularly when I was president of
Buffalo State; courses in the economics of higher
education.” He said he considered himself a good teacher,
and had been told so by former students, and “could be one
again.”

While Johnstone says he would like to put matters of
finance in perspective and concentrate more heavily on the
“thrilling opportunities” for advancement available to
SUNY, his specialty is the philosophy of who pays for a
college education. He is the author of no less than 19 articles
on the subject, and a book: “Sharing the Cost of Higher
Education: Student Financial Assistance in the United
Kingdom, The Federal Republic of Germany, France,
Sweden and the United States” (New York, College
Entrance Examination Board, 1986.)

“For what it’s worth, I’m one of the few people in the
world who studies this field imperatively,” he said. “The
major ‘Encyclopedia of Higher Education’ came to me for
one of its chapters. You’re going to love the title of the
chapter: ‘Tuition.’”

“(The chapter) has nothing to do with last year’s budget;
it just happens to be something that I understand. I do have a
sensitivity that although no one particularly likes paying
tuition, that if students (and their families) aren’t paying it,
it’s taxpayers who are. It’s handing pieces of the burden
back and forth.”

Despite his specialization in college costs, and his stated
desire to reduce “contentiousness,” Johnstone often finds
himself defending unpopular positions. But when asked
what about the job he is able to enjoy, he replies without
hesitation.

“The campuses. I have now been to about 50 campuses.
And when I’m on the campuses, the mood, the feeling is
very. different than it is in Albany. There is a smallish group
of students who are genuinely concerned, and set a goal that
tuition never increases, things like this; they make a lot of
noise, and I listen to them, and I don’t denigrate them, but
they’re not representative. I’ve been to all these campuses,
and I’ve spoken to student government leaders, and it’s a
different kind of mood. The hostility isn’t out there. Their
concerns are far, far broader than that tuition never
increases. It’s a little like my years in Washington, when I
was an assistant to Senator Walter Mondale, where one of
the things that everyone tries to remember is that what
people in Washington think is important is not necessarily
what everyone else thinks is important. What would seem
important - passionate - in this town, or within SASU (the
Student Association of the State University, often one of
Johnstone’s harshest critics). And this is not to denigrate
them; (but) it’s not necessarily what’s important to three
hundred eighty-some thousand students.

“My visits to the campuses have been very uplifting, very
gratifying. I love the business I’m in. It’s important. I do it
well. The people that really matter to me - the board of
Trustees, the campus presidents, the Faculty Senate and the
students J deal with - I think know that I do it well. "

Beyond the Majority : :
African American identity crisis must be overcome |

By Sekou Nkrumatt

One of the greatest problems
for African people in America
and around the world is that we
have an identity crisis. In fact, if
you approach an African today
and call him/her an African
he/she may become offended and
insulted. In
the All Afican OPINION
People’s Revolutionary Party we
know that these Africans have
never been exposed to the
history of Africa. Consequently,
they know more about and
identify with European history
rather than identifying with their
motherland Africa. For the past
400 years this crisis, due to
miseducation, has put a large
portion for the African masses

asleep even at the expense of
allowing for their own
Oppression to persist.

From the inception of slavery,
African people were kidnapped
from Africa and shipped to
different parts of the world and
forced to work at gun point. We
were driven by the sting of the
lash to work from sun up to sun
down in order to build America,
Europe, etc. . The mercantilist
and capitalist systems forced an
alien culture and way of life
upon Africans at a given place
and time. Therefore, each
generation of Africans born in
the America’s Europe, and the
Caribbeans have assimilated the
values, culture, and language of

their slavemaster.

After raping Africa of its
people and dispersing them
throughout the world, Europeans
in 1884 at the Berlin Conference
divided up the African continent
and colonized each part for itself.
The backward system of
capitalism was not satisfied with
the blood and sweat of African
people. It now sought to bleed
Africa of all its resources (gold,
diamonds, oil, etc.), and labor to
build America and Europe’s
industry and economy. In many
instances when African labor did
not produce enough wealth for
European colonizers they either
chopped off African peoples’
legs, arms, or heads.

By dominating the African
continent, the combined powers
of Europe and America were not
only able to create a systematic
process (neo-colonialism) that
would continuously drain the
resources of Africa, but they
imbued Africans with European
culture, values, and language.
Now that Africa is suppressed
and its resources are being taken
at dirt cheap price, the culture
and values of Europeans have
infected the minds of Africans to
such a degree, that not only do
we have an identity crisis, but
this crisis has-grown into an
inferiority complex. We allow a
large portion of our African
youth to grow up assuming the
counterfeit identities of French,

The Pertect Place Io ba uth

4

American, or British etc. rather
than being proud of the fact that
they are African. The result of
this has caused some of our
people to remain unconscious not
realizing their responsibility for
the freedom and liberation of
Africa and African people.

Now is the time for Africans to
wake up and come out a long
nightmare. The alarm has
sounded: we must stop being
servants to our former European
slavemasters and colonizers.
African people can no longer
accept the culture and values of
others. The crisis of our identity
can no longer keep us confused.
WHETHER WE LIVE IN
SOUTH AFRICA (AZANIA),
JAMAICA, GUYANA,
BRAZIL, EUROPE, THE
SOUTH PACIFIC ISLANDS,
THE AMERICAS, OR AFRICA,
ANY PERSON OF AFRICAN
DESCENT IS AN AFRICAN!
As Africans we must stop the
choke hold that the European
capitalist has on our Mother
Africa. We must be proud of
Africa’s history, the great
contribution, and civilizations
that African has given to the
world. Africans were the first
pyramid builders, and the origin
of man and woman, Christianity
and Judaism began in Africa. At

all cost, we must flush the
oppressors values and culture out
of our system, and bask in the
glorious heritage of Africa and
achievements of Africans.
Africans who are born in the
Americas and the Caribbeans
must realize that they are living
on stolen land taken from the
Native American. Therefore we
must stop defining ourselves
according to some land that was
stolen from someone else. Every
group of people on earth has
originated from some land: the
Chinese from China, Europeans

oe

from Europe. We as Africans
must understand that we come
from Africa. There is no place
such as Negro, Colored, Nigger,
or Black land.

The thieves and crooks of
America such as the Democratic
and Republican parties cari not
tell us who we are, or give us
freedom. These are the criminal
Parties that support capitalism,
the system that has enslaved and
colonized us. These are the same
political parties that support the
illegal settler Zionist state of
Israel, the racist Apartheid
Tegime in South Africa, and the
exploitation of our African
brothers and sisters in Namibia.
African people in these places
are dying by the hundreds daily
and the Democratic and
Republican parties remain bed
partners with DeKlerk and the
murdering fascist Apartheid
nationalist party of South Africa.

As African people, if we
define ourselves as Americans
and become fooled into thinking
that our interest is the same as
the capitalist we will end up on
the battle field being used as
cannon fodder. We can no longer
be tricked into fighting for
freedom and democracy when
the masses of Africans are at the
bottom of the totem pole
economically, politically, and
socially. This contradiction
becomes even clearer, especially
when African people do not
Teceive justice and equality in
America. Furthermore, why
should Africans go fight for the
protection of stolen land in the
interest of a few greedy capitalist
pigs, so they can become rich?
What makes this situation
nonsensical is that we as
Africans were stolen from Africa
and are put on the frontlines to
fight against either Africans, or
other people who are exploited

and oppressed by the same
enemy. For example, when the
U.S. invaded Grenada, Africans
born in America were on the
frontlines killing other Africans.
Our only solution is Pan-
Africanism: THE TOTAL
LIBERATION AND
UNIFICATION OF AFRICA
UNDER SCIENTIFIC
SOCIALISM. In order for us to
achieve this objective Pan-
Africanism, the masses of our
people must be organized and
identify themselves with one
Africa. United under socialism,
Africans throughout the world
will have the power to assert
their African personality. Once
the liberation and freedom of
Africa is realized Africans

around the world will be proud ——

to call themselves African.
Consequently, the robbers of
Africa, the capitalist, would not
be able to collaborate with the
sell outs of Africa in one state,
the neo-colonialist, but they
would have to-contend with one
continental socialist government
of Africa. Africa is the richest
continent in the world. Over 80
percent of the world’s resources
come from Africa; therefore,
once Africa is united she can use
her resources for the
development of the continent and
her African children all over the
world. Consequently, the prices
for goods from Africa will not be
set in London, Paris, Tokyo, or
the New York Stock Exchange,
but they will be determined by
ONE STRONG UNITED
SOCIALIST STATES OF
AFRICA. Then Africa will be
able to once again take its place
as a star shining among powerful
nations of the world.

TV screens broadcast campus ads and info

By Hope Morrow
STAFF WRITER

Campus Information Network
installed four television screens;
one on each of the four uptown
quads, which carry
advertisements and campus
information announcements.

“Tt is a more dramatic media
for getting information to the
students,” said Jessica Casey,
director of Student Activites.

Casey said the screens will be
used to get information to the
students about campus wide
events and specific dates and
deadlines that students need to
know, such as deadlines for
financial aid forms. However,
according to eligibility
requirements, only non-
alcoholic events may be
advertised.

“It is difficult to get
information to the large
proportion of students that live
off-campus. Hopefully, once the
screens are put up in the
Campus Center, they will draw
students’ attention and students
will begin to look for certain
announcements.” Casey said.

The screens were installed on
Dutch and Colonial Quads five
weeks ago. Two weeks later,
screens were added to Indian
and State Quads. According to

Laurie Garafola, Residential
Life representative, two more
screens will be installed in
Campus Center within the next
few weeks.

The screens carry segments
including product
advertisements and campus
information. A memo was sent
to all student groups informing
them that they may place
messages on the screens.

The screens on the quads also
carry specific information
pertaining to activities on each
quad.

The screens are located on
platforms above the doors in
the flagrooms on Colonial,
Dutch and State Quads, and in
The Skin room on Indian Quad.
Although it seems to be an
awkward spot to place them,
Garafola said that the screens
need to be secured, and since
the platforms were already
above the doors, it was the most
logical place.

However, she added that the
Campus Information Network
was accommodating. They
responded to several
suggestions including making
the print larger and putting sun
resistant glass on the screens to
eliminate the glare.

» groups that wish to do so.

Campus Information Network =
provided the screens and takes =
care of maintenance in
exchange for broadcasting its
advertisements. Since the
Network gets a large audience
from colleges, they allow them
to run campus advertisements
free of charge.

Casey is in charge of
gathering the student group
messages and ads. She decides
what “blurbs” fill the allotted
University space. Casey said if
the blurbs are kept brief, the
opportunity to broadcast
information about events will be
extended to as many campus

After Casey gathers the |
blurbs, Garafola tums them over | J
to the Campus Information
Network. The screens are then
programmed once a week.

Casey said, “The posters on
the podium took a while to
catch on, but when they did it
was incredible. Now there are f
so many posters no one even
notices them anymore.
Hopefully the Campus
Information Network screens
will become as effective and
they will be able to reach even Ef

more people.”

Runoff is not

necessary

The office of Student Association vice
president will remain vacant for at least
another week because of the need for a
runoff election between Ron Halber and
Paul Faulhaber. The runoff is required by
SA policy, because no candidate won 51
percent of the total votes cast. Faulhaber
got 270 votes, Halber got 162, Giovanni
Serna got 110 and Scott P. Trent got 47.

The 51 percent rule is a good one. It is
designed, presumably, to prevent a
candidate from winning an entire election
based on a spectacular showing on only
some quads, or for that matter only one.

But Faulhaber was clearly the winner of
this race, and by forcing the runoff, rather
than withdrawing from the race, Halber is
doing SA a disservice.

Running a campus-wide election is no
small task. It costs time and money. It will
be even more difficult now, since SA’s
election commissioner recently resigned.
INow, with finals approaching and papers
|due, is the most difficult time of the
semester for any major SA activity. The
strong turnout for the original election is

not likely to be repeated.
Of course, money and time spent on the

principles is always well spent, regardless
lof inconvenient circumstances. And if the|
results of the original election left any
doubt about the winner, a runoff would be
imperative.

But the voters’ choice in the first election
seems obvious. Halber should step aside
land let SA catch up on lost time.

Negative reaction to Marines for a reason

Alfredo B. Goyburu’s letter (“Marines not
the enemy”) concerning Miguel Alfonso’s
criticism of the U.S. Marine Corps reeks with
a sort of childish ignorance. Is Mr. Goyburu
so naive to believe that the U.S. military has
ever protected and expanded some glorious
vail of American “democracy”? I hope not. If
it is seriousness Mr. Goyburu is yearning for,

George Rosamond

then he should find out what American
imperialism really did throughout ventures in
Asia, Latin America, and Europe. Mr.
Goyburu claims that “Marines have died in
freeing Cuba from Spain, the Philippines
from Japan, and South Korea from
.Communist occupation.” Actually, Cuba was
the U.S.’s booty in its victory over Spain in
the Spanish-American War. The U.S.-backed
Baptista dictatorship exercised what even Mr.
Goyburu would not dare to call democracy.
But let us get straight to the point, as Mr.
Goyburu pleads to Miguel: “Please don’t lie
and say that no good has ever come from the
barrels of Marine guns.” I admit when I first
read that line, I thought it was meant to have
a sarcastic ring to it. I read it again and, to say
the least, I was stunned. Since when does
“good” come out of gun barrels which murder
people fighting to control their own self-
determination. I must stress the word “self”,
Self does not mean the CIA, the USMC, or
you, Mr. Goyburu.

Mr. Goyburu also seems to find that
SUNYA has “no reason to ban the Marines
(or any military) from campus.” Outside of

the obvious grammatical implications of Mr.
Goyburu’s use of parenthesis, there is
something which immediately comes to mind.
It is very possible that Mr. Goyburu is not
concerned with homosexual tights, but
SUNYA must at least pay lip service to the
issue (not that it gives even so much now).
Discrimination against gays and lesbians in
the military is no secret. It is hardly a leak
comparable to Contragate (Ollie is some
Marine, isn’t he?), so Mr. Goyburu must not
find it important enough to mention.

It is hardly surprising that Miguel feels as
though the U.S. military will soon be actively
participating in battle in Latin America. Mr.
Goyburu should base his criticism on neither
sentence structure nor writing style, but
should rather deal with the issue. For how
many years did the U.S. claim military
“advisors” in VietNam were not taking part in
battles? Or that the U.S. did not really invade
Cambodia, for it was actually “bad people
Spreading mean rumors about us”? Today, we
know that U.S. military personnel were
fighting in Southeast Asia way before highly-
perceptive individuals like Mr. Goyburu stood
up and made excuses for them. For how many
years have we been told that there are only 55
military advisors in El Salvador?

Finally, Mr. Goyburu, I have no doubt that _
Miguel would prefer that you save your
patronizing “sincerity” until after the next
VietNam and/or Contragate.

A New Perspective on Twelfth Night

Walk into Capital Repertory
Company’s production of Twelfth
Night with an open mind. This is not
your ordinary Shakespearean fare.
When you first enter the theatre, you
may be surprised because the set is
atypical for one of Shakepeare’s
plays. Illyria, the backdrop to the
Bard’s enchanting tale of
shipwrecked siblings, mistaken
identities and love in the guise of
madness, is envisioned by Rene Buch
and set designerRobert Weber
Federico as something akin to a
baseball bleacher topped off by a row
of mirrors that might have walled a
dance club. Buch’s unique vision
continues as the play opens witha
series of tableaus and snippets of the
opening scenes in rapid succession.

Glenn Fleshler

Although Twelfth Night begins in
darkness to the beat of a single drum,
it is not presented as a dark comedy.
Buch forces the audience to use its
imagination. Viola is supposed to be
dressed as a man, but she is not really
dressed as one. The clown, Feste,
appears, not like an Elizabethan fool,
but more like one of the beat poets of
the 1960s. He is the puppetmaster of
the play. Despite these nuances and
the fact that Fabian, one of

Shakespeare’s comic servants, is
absent from this production, the play
is enjoyable and very often quite
funny. The set design works and
surprisingly so does the costume
design—an array of costume pieces
spanning the past two centuries or so.

Rene Buch, the veteran artistic
director of Repertorio Espanol in
New York City, brings a physical
beauty to Cap Rep’s first production
of a Shakespeare play. He sees Twelfth
Night to be a play about love, as
Shakepeare himself probably did. He
has assembled quite a fine ensemble
to fill in his visual picture. Will Rhys
is letter perfect as Malvolio, a
pompous steward who gets fooled
into thinking Olivia, the mistress of
the house, is in love with him.
Michael Hume is sally pleasing
and physically adept as ‘este, ina
daring interpretation of the role. Also
outstanding is SUNYA’s own
professor of Theatre Bill Leone. He is
a bundle of comic energy as the
bumbling Sir Andrew Aguecheek.
Edwin C. Owens has some funny
moments as Olivia’s drunken uncle
Toby, but he never really achieves
anything more than a caricature. His
best moments come when he plays
off of Hume and Leone. Susan J.
Coon is competent as Olivia. What
she lacks in energy, she makes up for
with grace and physical beauty. She

Sunday night, it was Albany’s turn
for a dose of the Mekon’s spirited
social and musical insight. Are they
hip? You bet. They even know the
Sisters of Mercy. Are they cool?
Definitely. The opening blast of
“Memphis, Egypt,” a cut from their
major league debut The Mekons Rock

plays the countess more like a
calculating recluse than like a
grieving loner.

The other two women, Josie de
Guzman as Viola and Marceline
Hugot as Maria, Olivia’a head
servant, are less successful, but not
without merit. The weakest link is
Don Fischer’s Orsino, the Duke of
Illyria, who falls in love with love.

and Roll proved that beyond a doubt.

The Mekons are becoming a
rock institution over in England,
where they hail from, and it won't be
long before they reach exalted status
over in these shores. “I Am Crazy” is
both chilling and beautiful, thanks to
Sally Timms’ wonderful vocal
chords.

And the Mekons are

Fischer’s performance is average in
what is perhaps the most difficult
role in the play.

Cap Rep’s Twelfth Night is a
worthwhile experience after all. It
communicates the ideas of the play
cleanly and may serve as a new
Perspective for Shakespeare buffs or
as an eye opener for those who think
that they don’t enjoy Shakespeare.

politically righteous too, as “Blow
Your Tuneless Trumpet,” and “Empire

rock’s (formerly) rebellious attitudes.
Rebellion and the Mekons though,
can safely be mentioned in the same
breath.

In the office, we were just talking about i 2
high school, getting beaten up and cs

the beatings aren't quite so physical, but

Ae and Ar. Ray:

A Talk with Miracle Le

Miracle Legion guitarist Ray
Neal says that he and band co-leader
and vocalist Mark Mulcahy have never
attempted to chart their course or
Predict their destiny, and it’s that
innocent approach to the music
industry that’s kept their vision intact
Over five years of long tours, members

from commercial radio.

Richard Crist

“We just sort of do what we
do,” Neal said this week, before the

band’s recent stop at Albany’s QE2 on
Thursday night. “It be wrong of |

anyone to accuse us of doing anything
0n purpose, because everything we do
isjust what comes natural.”

That approach may be paying
Off, as the last year for Legion has
brought them to the door of
Mainstream success, with write-ups in
two major publications (SPIN and
Rolling Stone), a lengthy world tour, a
Critically acclaimed album (Me and Mr.
kay, which even People magazine
liked), and talk of a major deal. But
Neal says that he and Mulcahy try to
Concentrate on their music, rather than
©n the intangibles of the business and

music world.

“We've learned not to listen to
the talk,” he says. “The music business
is sort of ridiculous. It’s just the music
we think about. We play and we write
songs. When we formed the band, we
didn’t even think of it as a band. We
were just writing songs, and we didn’t
even really know what we were
doing.”

The songs that Neal and
Mulcahy, formerly promoters of shows
in the Connecticut area, wrote on a
friend’s four track in their rehearsal
space, quickly got them notice at now-
defunct nightspots like the Grotto in

| New Haven. Wistful, reminiscent, and

hopeful

all at once, Mulcahy’s poignant lyrics
were graced by Neal’s expressive
guitar work that could recall any range
of emotions.

The band was “discovered”
when a representative from Rough
Trade records decided to check out a
live show by the band, and
subsequently put out the 1984 EP “The
Backyard.” The British music press
loved them, and so did the American
underground and they were on their

way. Well, sort of.

A grueling tour for the
acclaimed 1987 album Suprise, Suprise,
Suprise prompted the departure of the
band’s rhythm section. That minus
was turned into a plus when Iceland’s
Sugar Cubes decided they wanted an
acoustic duo to open for their first
American tour. The Legion fit that bill.

That tour resulted in the EP
Sugar Legion, which featured the
Miracle Legion track, “Ladies From
Town,” with the backing of the Sugar
Cubes. Miracle Legion also appeared
on a Byrd’s tribute record, with their
rendition of “Hey, Mr. Spaceman.”

Encouraged by their success as
a duo, Mark and Ray journeyed to
Minneapolis, Minn, to record their
second full length LP, Me and Mr. Ray,
at Prince’s Paisley Park studios. (They
had a spaghetti dinner with the purple
wonder, Mark reported last year.)
Before hitting the road, the band
added a rhythm section, Spot and
Dave, for their best and most energetic
lineup yet.

Neal says he himself is hard
pressed to find any noticeable changes
in the band with the lineup, but also
adds that might be because the two

gion's Ray Neal

new members fit in well with the duo’s
style. “You'd be better seeing a change
than I would,” he says, “because
everything we’ve done sounds like
us.”

The band, Neal said, will take
a well deserved break before
reconvening in the early part of the
year to start work on their third record.
The songwriting process in the band,
he reports, is fairly organic. “Most of it
starts with me and Mark, but in the
end, it just amounts to us getting
together and just writing things that
feel natural.”

Miracle Legion albums, Neal
says, are a combination of the old and
new. “We take from different periods
when we make an album,” Neal said.
“Ladies From Town,” he said, is from
the mid-period of the band, “Pull the
Wagon,” also from Me and Mr. Ray is
“ancient,” according to Neal, and “All
for the Best,” from “Suprise, Suprise,
Suprise,” is one of the first five songs
written by Neal and Mulcahy.

“We are great friends,” Neal
says of he and Mulchay. “I know I
couldn’t write songs on my own. To
me, it just seems normal to play with
Mark.”

And singing pre-teen ballads about

Anderson was impressive on the
guitar, especially his work with
harmonics (in the Andy Summers
tradition). He was hardly rusty in
terms of speed and he played an
admirable mirror to Clarke’s bad bass.
But the top 40 songs rubbed off on the
guitarist every so often: his overuse of
the tremolo bar at the end of his leads
(in the Starship tradition) was an
unnecessary flaw.

wasn’t perfect, it somehow made sense

It was a joke; or was it?

To the Editor:

This letter is in response to the recent debate by the
Central Council on whether the humor magazine, Hokum
should have its SA funds frozen or not.

During the executive branch report, it was said that the
humor magazine was offensive in nature. Apparently,
according to the article in November 17th’s issue of the
ASP, Dutch Quad Minority Student Assistant, Peter
Santiago, said that the magazine’s general attitude was
Offensive to persons of color, Jews, women and
homosexuals. I am just wondering if Peter read the same
Magazine that I read?

It’s true that there are a few parts in the magazine that
Could be considered offensive, but they’re very miniscule
and certainly do not make up the “general attitude” of the
Magazine. The majority of the magazine, in fact, has
little to do with any specific group or persons (the
longest article in the magazine is a story about one of the
Contributing writers). Also, it might be noted that
Compared to other college humor magazines, Hokum
Scems to be quite mild.

Colonial Quad representative Tara Davidoff, said
Hokum “advocates hatred.” This is completely false; the
Soal of the magazine is simply to make people laugh.
The whole point of a humor magazine is to hold people
and customs up to ridicule. It is silly to accuse the
Magazine of advocating hatred when all the material is
written in such a sarcastic and satirical tone.
Unfortunately, with satire, it’s hard to avoid offending at

Jeast someone.

However, I feel the bigger problem here is whether SA
should have the right to decide what organizations get
funded and what ones do not, based upon their personal
opinions of those organizations. I think it’s the council’s
duty to freeze funds to organizations that directly cause
harm, but should otherwise grant funds to all other
groups, whether they morally agree with them or not. It
was even suggested that the council should send letters
to the advertisers who had paid for the publication of
Hokum, urging them to cease their funding of such a
“ghastly” magazine. I don’t see where the council gets
the right to do that; unless the actions of an organization
harm or reasonably threaten to harm another group or
individual, the SA council should not interfere. In fact,
the council should be protecting the staff of Hokum from
censorship, allowing them to express themselves,
whether only 1% of the students find it offensive, or 99%
of the students find it offensive.

-Mark E. Phillips

What is humor?

To the Editor:

Iam so happy to know that we have a student
council who are prepared to relieve us of the
responsibility of thinking. They are prepared to decide
what is a good thought and what is a bad thought and
then tell us what to think. They are prepared to tell us
what we should consider offensive. Imagine if a student
actually had to go through the trouble of deciding for
himself.

The current debate over Hokum is a debate on
whether we shall allow SA to govern what we read and
what we write. They say that Hokum is offensive. Fine-
they are entitled to their opinion, but they must
remember that it is just that-their personal opinion. They
have no right to inflict that opinion on every other
member of this community. Now they, of course, will
argue that they don’t seek to censor Hokum. Rather, they
wish to choose not to fund something they find
offensive. Well, I personally find the views expressed by
several SA-funded groups to be offensive. I find RZA’s
Position on the Israel/Palestine conflict to be offensive. I
find various activities sponsored by ASUBA to be
prejudicial against non-blacks and therefore find them
offensive. In fact, I could quite easily say that they
advocate hatred, which is what Tara Davidoff accuses
Hokum of doing. In fact she says funding should be cut
off for that reason.

Whether or not the magazine is offensive is not
the issue, the issue is whether the Central Council has the
authority to decide what is offensive. If students don’t
like Hokum, then they have several options, They can
stop reading it and boycott the advertisers (SA funding is
not enough, advertising money is needed), they can write
to the editor and express their concerns, or they can get
involved with Hokum and try to influence the content of
the magazine. Central Council should stay out of it.
Unless they deal with organizations in a content neutral
way, then they are guilty of sponsoring official opinion
and that does not happen in a free society.

-Peter Sanders

Greeks not political

To the Editor:

It has come to our attention that certain groups are
confused as to why no Greek women took part in the
“Take Back the Night Rally” held on the podium.

Although no Greek letters were worn in this rally, it
was attended by numerous Greek women. However,
National Pan Hellenic rules forbid the wearing of letters
to support or condone political issues, and as such all
sororities were asked to avoid wearing their letters to
rallies and protests of any kind. The Greek women there
were there as concerned women and not to represent the
Greek system. We hope this is understood and that our
position will be respected in future events as well. Thank
you.

Stripping for a cause

To the Editor:

I would like to enlighten the SUNY community of a
charity event Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity will be
sponsoring on December 7th at LP’s Dance Club. This
event is the first annual GREEKS TAKE [T OFF.
Representatives from fourteen of our campus’ IFC
recognized fraternities have graciously volunteered to
participate in this event. These men will perform a
striptease on stage with the proceeds from this event
going to the American Cancer Society, our chapter
charity.

We are promoting this event for two reasons: to raise
money for a worthwhile charity by sponsoring an event
people would want to attend, and because this event
promotes Greek unity.

We, the brothers of Tau Epsilon Phi are very dedicated
to both of these reasons, A fraternity is not only a social
club whose only merit is in its alcoholic content levels, it
is also an outlet for community service. This semester,
we have participated in a wide tange of services and
charity activities and this event would be the
culmination.

This semester we took a stand to Promote Greek unity,
This event is also our answer to Greeks participating in a
service activity together, Representatives from the eight
SUNY Pan Hellenic Sororities will serve as judges of
this event, a task that will surely not be burdening to
them.

Tau Epsilon Phi will be Promoting this event
throughout next week in the campus center. Please help
support the American Cancer Society by purchasing a
raffle ticket (prizes ranging from a free Cranberry Bog
brunch to one of ten sets of tickets to CHIPPENDALES)
or just by giving a donation. Thank you.

Students covered

To the Editor:

In an effort to answer student concerns over the Health
Insurance available at the University at Albany, I would
like to make some facts clear.

There are two campus health coverage programs at the
University; the first is “Triple H” which covers the cost
of medical expenses that are incurred for services
provided ON CAMPUS by the University Health Center.
Examples of these are throat cultures, medications, or a
stay in the In-patient area.

The second program is the Student Accident and
Health plan sold by the Maxon Insurance Company and
covers OFF CAMPUS expenses. Examples of these
expenses are off campus medical/surgical consultations
(dermatologist/orthopedic surgeons); hospitalization,
out-patient x-rays or laboratory tests, and out-patient
alcohol/substance abuse expenses.

Both of these programs have evolved over the past
four years with student and staff input and are designed
to work together without duplicating coverage or
expense. These plans can be purchased separately or as a
total package depending on the individual student’s
needs,

Some services are not covered and there are limits
imposed on expenses. This is true of all insurance or pre-
paid programs. Our attempt has been to provide the
broadest services that are affordable to most students. We
invite and have sought student input and welcome yours.

If there are any questions, please feel free to come to
the University Health Center to consult with University
Health Center Staff and obtain complete brochures of
either or both of the available plans.

“Our biggest complaint about

Said this represents a trend in
financing of SUNY since Cuomo

“If the University asked for the

Wilson said.

Herb Gordon, the vice
chancellor for university
Telations, said SUNY asked for a
‘ition hike and went to the
legislature for more funding but
that both options were turned
down by Cuomo and lawmakers
later Testored some of the funds.

“Given Cuomo’s stance on the

Seneral fiscal situation, the
budget proposed by SUNY is
Tealistic”, Gordon said.

Cuomo maintained his

from Middle Earth are

insane”, which was implied

in a joke in the magazine.

When asked if he was
going to print a full
apology, Braine said that
he was going to print a full
apology as a column in the
ASP. He also said that he
was not aware of the rider
on Hokum’s budget, which
was placed last spring as a
Warning against potentially
offensive material.

When asked what

changes were planned for
the next issue, Braine
Pointed to the proposed
teview by Jenkins.
Jose Maymi made a
comparison between
Comedian John Valby and
Hokum. Braine said that
while Valby intends to
Offend people, Hokum
Seeks to amuse and not
offend,

SA President Fermin
Espinosa asked Braine if it
Was possible to produce an
issue of Hokum without
Offensive material, to
which Braine replied,”
Apparently we’re going to
have to.”

Espinosa also said that in
most humor,” someone or
Something is going to be a
target.

Harry Jos, one of the
More outspoken council
Opponents of Hokum, said
that in truth the magazine
did intend to offend people.
He also said, “ I don’t like
having my money going to
any group that may offend
anyone. We don’t need this
arbage on this campus.”

Jos also said that people
do not have to support
Offensive comedians, and
they should not have to
Support Hokum.

Steve Rhoads said that
the Affirmative Action
Office gave its approval to
Hokum. He also said that
Hokum had, by meeting
With Jenkins, followed
Proper policy and met the
Titeria necessary for
Teopening their budget.

Guillermo
Martinez, the interim SA
ice President told Council

that they had “already gone
too far.”

Martinez said that most

newspapers and magazines
offend some people. He
cited materials in an
upcoming issue of the
Latino Journal that would
offend a certain group of
students, but he would not
say why or what group. He
said though that it should
be printed anyway.
Martinez said that if anyone
on this campus felt a certain
way or had something to
say they should be allowed
to say it.
- He also said that in the
past, materials in the
Student Voice had offended
some students too, yet it
was still run by SA.

Martinez asked where
Council draws the line with
regard to censorship.
“Where do you draw the
line between humor and
politics?” Martinez said.

Lawson also said that
based on Council’s earlier
decision to fund Students
for Choice, SA funding
does not imply support or
approval of a group.

When the bill came to a
vote, several people
changed their votes at the
last minute, and it fell one
vote shy of the 17 needed
for a two thirds majority.

Rights

Continued from front page
magazine is irreverent and
tounge-in-cheek but our
idea was not to offend
anyone on a cultural basis.”
At Wednesday’s Council
meeting, members voiced
their opinions on whether
Hokum’s budget should
have remained frozen.
Faulhaber said that
although he does not want
to set a precedent of
censorship, the editors of
the magazine must be made
aware that the contents of
the magazine should be
kept in “better taste.”
Off-campus Council
representative Beth
Zuckerman asked the
magazine to justify “an
inappropriate attack on
Middle Earth” in a parody
on suicide counseling.
Braine said the point of the

magazine is to exaggerate
so much that the ideas bear
no semblance to reality,
and so no one should be
offended.

SA President Fermin
Espinosa addressed the
issue of continuing to
produce the magazine but
with the editors restricting
its content. “The magazine
should be able to provide
humor that does not focus
on people’s racial or ethnic
background or their sexual
preferences,” Espinosa
said. He said that with the
guidance of Jenkins, this
could be accomplished,

Several Council
members voiced their
disapproval of the
magazine’s first issue.

A vote was taken and it
was decided Hokum’s
budget will remain frozen.
Although the group did not
use its SA funds for its first
issue, it incurred some
outstanding debts in the
printing process and plans
to appeal the decision.

After the meeting, Braine
voiced disgust with the
“unprofessional” behavior
of central Council and said
it is “unconscionable that
the budget is still frozen.”

“The reactions of several
of the Council members
were excessive in light of
the measures that ‘Hokum’
agreed to take in further
printing,” he said.

Espinosa, disagreeing
with Council’s yote, called
it “a very unwise decision.
In fact, a stupid decision,
because we are literally
paving the way for serious
censoring, not only of our
funded groups, but also
giving a channel to the
administration to censor
our activities.”

He said that people who
complain get heard, but
“what happens to the
constituency that thought
‘Hokum’ was just for
enlightenment? Why is it
that he who cries gets
heard gets heard and the
rest just goes by the
wayside?”

Espinosa said it is
not definite that Hokum
will be on Council’s
agenda next week.

Tokyo
(AP) For once, the trade balance is weighted in
America’s favor.

Less than a week after Konishiki, a 488-pound
American, surprised Japan by winning a championship in
its traditional sport of sumo wrestling, scores of other
hefty Americans are bringing American football to to
Tokyo, and in the process turning heads in discos, hotels
and on the playing field.

“They’re awesome,” said Misa Itoh as she watched
Syracuse and Louisville practice Thursday for their clash
on Sunday in Tokyo’s Coca-Cola Bowl. “I thought
Japanese college football players were big, but they’re
even larger. They’re like imaginary beings.”

At Tokyo’s Narita airport, crowds stared Wednesday as
the two teams left their chartered plane, with some
bystanders asking if they were basketball players
because of their towering size. ;

“They're so amazed at how big we are that they point
at you and laugh, but they’re just having fun,” said Allen
Douglas, Louisville’s center.

Thursday night, in their first exposure to Japan other
than bus rides to and from the practice field, players
from both teams visited Tokyo’s Roppongi entertainment
district, where some said they would apply lessons in
Japanese customs learned before leaving the United

States.

“We were warmed that people in Japan are quiet and
reserved when they drink, not obnoxious like we can be,”
Cardinals linebacker Mark Sander said.

The Orangemen will represent Syracuse University
well,” said Syracuse coach Dick MacPherson. “They'll
also represent the American male well while they’re here.
I guarantee it.”

Earlier Thursday, both teams strained to shake off the
effects of a day-long plane ride as they staged their first
practice in Tokyo for Sunday’s game, the only NCAA-
sanctioned football game in Asia.

“Tt’s a long swim back home,” MacPherson warned
some slow-moving sleepy players.

“T didn’t know the trip was going to be so hard on
them,” Louisville coach Howard Schnellenberger said.

Starting Syracuse quarterback Bill Scharr, who
sprained a thumb in the team’s 24-17 loss to West
Virginia last week, sat out much of Thursday’s practice
and watched backup Mark McDonald handle most of the
quarterback outies.

“T thought it was good when I came out, but then I tried
to do something with it,” Scharr said. “It hurts when I
take a snap and I can’t hold on to the ball very well.”

| Orangemen ready for Cardinals in Tokyo

Scharr holds the Syracuse record for pass completions
with a 63 percent rate so far this season.

Both coaches predicted a decisive fourth quarter in
Sunday’s game. Both teams have 6-4 records, with two of
Louisville’s losses coming on the final play of the game.

“It’s going to be a game with two very solid offensive
football teams going against two good defensive football
teams,” Schenellenberger said. “The team that can make
more big plays in the fourth quarter will win,”

“If we come out of here at 7-4 and go home with a
victory, then this football team will feel that we had a
pretty good season. If we don’t, we won't,” MacPherson
said.

In their only previous game, Syracuse beat the
Cardinals 48-0 in 1985.

MacPherson said Tokyo’s domed stadium will be a
good site for a rematch, despite the long plane ride.

“What I like about the Tokyo Dome is when we go into
it, it’s going to be the same for both of us,” he said.
“There’s no wind, no rain, no mud. It’s a Japanese crowd
so there’s no home crowd. So it’s us against them, the
Cardinals against the Orangemen.”

Last Sunday, Konishiki, a 25-year-old Hawaiian who
Started in sports as a star high school football fullback,
became the second foreigner ever to win a national sumo
tournament and the first since 1972.

Knicks' Ewing still becoming a better player

By Dave Carpenter
Oakland
(AP) Paul Silas, an assistant coach with
the New York Knicks, was complaining
this week that Patrick Ewing had never
learned how to properly box out.

Things could get downright depressing
for other NBA big men if he ever picks up
the technique. Ewing, who had a career
hight against Golden State On Wednesday,
has vaulted to the head of list of NBA
Centers this season along with, or perhaps
ahead of, Houston’s Akeem Olajuwon.

“Patrick is having a MVP kind of early

Buffalo, NY
(AP) Officials unveiled new plans
Thursday to expand Buffalo’s minor-
Teague stadium to 41,500 seats if the
City lands an expansion team.

Robert Rich Jr., president of the
triple-A Buffalo Bisons, said he would
discreetly pitch the plans to major-
Teague owners at their annual winter
Meeting this weekend in Nashville,
Tenn. The owners are expected to
Consider expansion after the next

points, one short of his career high, in the
Knicks’ 129-111 victory.

“He’s taken his game a couple of levels
up. He can do whatever he wants to do.
Most centers can either dominate a game
offensively or defensively, but not both.”

The 6-foot Ewing has improved
steadily in virtually every category since
coming into the league as the much-
ballyhooed top draft pick in the 1985
draft. But this year, after bulking up to
240 pounds, his game has taken a
quantum leap.

He’s among the league leaders with
career-best averages of 28.3 points and 10
rebounds going into Thursday night’s
game at Seattle, and he is routinely

upper deck extending 35 feet out from
the stadium over city streets and
sidewalks.

The new plan whittles down the
upper deck from 42 rows to 29 rows,
eliminating the overhang, and puts the
extra seats in right field instead.

“Sitting in the outfield is a great
place to watch a ball game. It’s lower
to the field.” said architect Joseph E.
Spear. “In Kansas City, you have a
clique of fans that always sits in the
outfield. They have shouting matches
with each other.”

At 41,500 seats, the new stadium
would be smaller than all present
major-league parks except for
Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Fenway Park
in Boston and Royals Stadium in
Kansas City, Mo., but Rich said he did
not think the size would be a
handicap.

“Forty-one thousand or 42,000 seats

is ideal as far as the criteria that have
been published by major-league
baseball,” he said.
_ Spear said his firm is also designing
a new 46,000-seat stadium in
Baltimore and a 43,000 seat facility
for the Chicago White Sox.

dominating games.

“He put on 10 to 12 pounds this year,
all muscle.” said Erie Grunfeld, another
New York assistant. “He was awesome
tonight. He used his body well. He’s
becoming a great rebounder.”

Against the candle-thin Bol, who
blocked a season-high six shots but is not
a strong rebounder, Ewing used his wide
body to muscle down 17 warriors started
a first-time lineup featuring the-7-7 Bol
and 7-1 Owe Blab in a futile effort to
contain him.

“I’ve neyer seen him do better.” Bol
said. Asked who’s the league’s best
center, he replied: “I would say before
Akeem but now Ewing, sure the way he
played tonight...His game is different than
years ago. He’s shooting the outside jump
shot and the jump hook.

The two top centers are the same height
and are separated by only five months

and 10 pounds (Olajuwon is older and
heavier). The consensus is that Ewing
closed the gap fast and has caught up.

“This guy is incredible,” said Blab. “I
mean, he just laid it in, laid it in and laid it
in.”

And he rarely has an off night any
more., Knicks coach Stu Jackson said
Ewing has “a disposition to dominate,
inight.in and night out,”

There’s also another incentive.

“T want to get MVP,” Ewing explained,
“and in order to get it we have to continue
to win and I have to bring my rebound
percentage up.”

The Knicks are doing their part with a
9-4 mark going into the SuperSonics
game. And Ewing is doing his, working
with Silas on rebounding technique.

“T think my rebounding will really pick
up this year,” he said.

, “Our problem tonight was that we
didn’t keep consistency with our
substitutions,” Warner said. “It’s a lot to
ask freshmen to come in and keep the
momentum going. You have to be
cautious with the flow of the game.”

The Violets took the lead and increased
it to 57-52 with 4:13 left. Albany then got
back into it.

Sue Stempsey (10 points) hit a three
pointer to cut it to 57-55, Violets, 4:13
remaining. Richardson tied it up on a
bounce pass from Annunziato, who got it
from a Faith Miller steal. It was 59 all,
with 2:28 left. Albany took the lead for
good soon after.

From there the Danes held on with
Annunziato’s free throw.

NYU was led by Liz Canino’s 21
points and Carrie Kaczinarsky’s 16. She
also led all rebounders with 15. Neither
team did well from the line either. NYU
was 7-16, the Danes, 8-19.

“(Despite the win) I don’t care, it’s still
very poor, its mental,” Warmer said. This
was an important win for Albany. NYU
has won its share of close ones against the
Danes (114-107 in 2 OT, last year). “They
wanted to prove something to themselves
after the Nazareth loss,” Warmer said.

At Nazareth Tuesday night the Danes

lost to the Golden Flyers, 94-66. Nazareth
shot.a dazzling .618 from the field, as they
made 34 of 55 shots. From the free throw
line, they were 23 of 39, 590.

The Danes weren’t as fortunate from the
field. Even though they had 77 field goal
attempts, they only converted 26. The
charity stripe wasn’t too kind to Albany
either, as the Danes shot .600, 9 of 15.

Albany did outrebound the Golden
Flyers, 48-36. But the Danes committed
27 personal fouls, compared to Nazareth’s
18. The Golden Flyers also had seven
three-point play opportunities and 13
steals.

Individually the Danes were led by
Richardson and Wilson who had 18 and
13 points respectively. Shannon Dwyer
had 23 points to lead Nazareth scorers.

Albany opened up its season on
November 17-18 at the University of
Rochester-Airport Holiday Inn Tip-Off

the first round by last season number two

Annunziato clinches Albany win over NYU
Women's hoops team is 2-2 after defeating Violets, Yellowjackets

By Christopher Sciria
SPORTS EDITOR

Statistics don’t always tell the entire
story. For example, last night at
University Gym against NYU, Laurie
Annunziato only had five points, on one
of six from the field and three of six from
the free throw line.

But add on four steals, six assists, her
in-your-face-defensive game that forced
the Violets to turnover the ball Jate in the
game, and her two free throws that iced
the Danes’ thrilling 64-59 win to even
their record at 2-2.

The sophomore point guard has shown
how much her game has changed since
she was thrown into starting line up last
season after injuries hit the Danes.

Last year she would force the ball into
traffic, but this season she has shown
poise and patience and its paying off big
for Albany.

“We need to play an uptempo game and
Laurie changed the tempo for us,” Albany
ihead coach Mari Warner said.

When the game was on the line,
Annunziato came through. She made two
free throws in the last 20 seconds to cinch
the win.

Annunziato said. “I knew I had to get the

Albany’s men’s basketball team has lost
three games in a row.

After beating Norwich, 68-43, on
November 17 in the Great Dane
‘Tournament, the Danes lost the
‘championship to Alfred, 77-66. They
failed to defend their Capital District
Tournament Title last weekend, losing to
Skidmore, 71-65, in the opening round
and Union, 60-58, in the consolation
game, dropping their record to 1-3.

Against Skidmore, the Danes shot a
poor 30.7 percent in the first half and
trailed 40-23 at halftime.

Albany managed to cut Skidmore’s lead
in the second half, but it was not enough
as the Danes fell 71-65.

Dennis Walker led Albany in scoring 11
points off the bench in nine minutes. Andy
Goodemote and Alex McCleam each had
10 points.

In the consolation game, the Danes
came back from a ten point deficit to take
the lead, 45-44 with 6:42 remaining in the
game.

Union later hit two three-pointers to
retake a five point lead, 58-53. :

The Danes would not give up as Jeff
Farnsworth converted a three-pointer with
27 seconds left and Dennis Cutts tied it up
at 58 with 17 seconds remaining.

Union would pull it out at the buzzer as
freshman Greg Dolan hit a reverse layup

first one.”

After the Danes were dismantled at
Nazareth on Tuesday, Albany needed a
big game, the home opener turned out to
be just that.

“We needed this one, no doubt about
it,” Annunziato said. “We didn’t lose
confidence. We worked for what we got.”

Although, Annunziato keyed the win,
she had a great supporting cast. Senior
forwards Gina Richardson and Pam
Wilson had 17 and 11 points respectively.

“We had to redeem ourselves,” Wilson
said. “We needed something to get us out
of our slump.”

After the Danes exploded for a 19-4
lead (14:33) in the first half, NYU shut
down Albany as they went on a 20-9 run
to end the first half, trailing by four, 28-
24.

The Danes opened the second half the

same way as they started the first: with an
explosive run. They scored 15 of the
half’s first 22 points to lead by 12, 43-31,
12:28 in the game.

Substitutions almost did in Albany as
NYU took advantage of inexperience to
