General Education requirements abolished
Dean Kim has positive
outlook for the future
By Pam RESNICK
News Editor
After almost ten years of
existence, SUNYA’s General
Education requirements have
been brushed aside to allow a
new era of educational
opportunities for the
University’s students.
With this new program, the
University will be “giving
students more flexibility to
choose from among various
liberal arts disciplines,” said
Sung Bok Kim, Dean of
Undergraduate Studies.
“We reduced the numb:
Gen Eds. from six to fou
said, “we did away with things
that we found inadequate.
“The new program
Deceased student's parents
encompasses the four disciplines
of Social Sciences, Natural
Sciences, Human and Fine Arts,
and Historical/Cultural
Perspectives. The intensive
writing and Human Diversity
requirements will remain the
same.
“We are trying to meet our
students’ General Education
needs,” Kim said.
Kim said the original General
Education Program fell short of
his ideology of the “enrichness
experience” he wants all
SUNYA students to achieve.
“The ideals of the old program
were wonderful,” Kim said, “but
the implementation of the
program failed... it lost its
distinct identity.”
In response to this failure Kim
said, “I raised my banner of
revolt against the old program
which had a lot of problems.”
After spending a year in
Korea, Kim returned to SUNYA
for his fifth year as Dean of
Undergraduate Studies to find he
was dissatisfied with the current
curriculum being offered to
students.
“We organized a General
Education Committee... called
on faculty members to submit
new courses and meet new
criteria,” Kim said.
“We have to be honest...” Kim
said, “if things are not good we
will quickly admit there is a
problem.”
One of the new developments
is an “evaluative mechanism”
which Kim described as a way to
review the program periodically.
“In the past we did not review
the courses as we are now,” Kim
said. “We are trying to make
sure the general education
courses contain disciplinary
reflectiveness and enable
students
learners.”
Kim said the decision to
abolish the old program was
made last fall, but with no
concrete structure for a new
program they could not alert the
students at that point in time.
The final touches were
to become active
completed in April ‘92, and the
new program was brought to
University Senate.
The Senate agreed with
President Swygert’s approval
for implementation of the new
program to begin in the Fall ‘93
semester, Kim said,

Editorial Assistants
The parents of the late SUNYA student,
Robert J. Allman, Jr. announced
Wednesday they intend to sue New York
State for negligence.
Robert J. Allman, Jr., 21, died
November 12 at Albany Medical Center
after being taken there from the
University Health Center by Five Quad
Ambulance Squad.
Allman had originally gone to the
University Health Center Tuesday Nov.
10, said Dan Natt, a friend of the
deceased, “ not feeling well.”
He was released after testing negative
for mononucleosis. Wednesday evening
Allman returned and was admitted.
Allman was found unconscious
Thursday morning, lying on the floor next
to his bed,
He was brought to the Albany Medical
Center where he died while being
prepared for a second surgery to repair
his ruptured spleen.
The Albany County Coroner’s office
released a report Wednesday citing the
cause of death as a viral infection that
resulted in massive bleeding due to a
ruptured spleen.
Joseph Kelner, attorney for the
Allmans, said Allman’s illness “could
have been handled and cured.” Kelner
said the facts regarding the autopsy
“stand for themselves.” “It’s a shame,”

Two men arrested by Albany Police
Department are being looked at as
suspects in the rape of the Quail Street
resident on November 11.
“Neither men have been charged with
the rape at this time,” said Lt. Robert
Wolfgang of the Albany Police
Department. However, the police are
putting together information about the
suspects, Wolfgang said.
“There has been a significant decrease
in crime since these two men were
arrested,” said Wolfgang. “There isn’t
enough information to charge them with
the rape,” but the police are working on
it, Wolfgang said. “The men are being
looked at as suspects.”
One suspect, Charles Addison, was
arrested last week by a plain clothes
police officer when he attempted to enter
a student’s home through a window,
Wolfgang said. Addison was charged
with aggravated harassment and
attempted burglary, Wolfgang said.
The other suspect, Charles Hamilton, of
609 Clinton Ave., was arrested December
13 after entering a basement at 122
Bradford Street, and stealing from the
property, Wolfgang said. Hamilton
allegedly tried to rape a woman, said
Wolfgang.
The November 11 Attack took place at
2:30 a.m. when a black male entered the
Quail St. apartment Wolfgang said. “The
assailant woke his victim, threatened to
kill her , beat her viciously, and then
raped her,” Wolfgang said.
Educators dissatisfied with Cuomo
Cuomo thought to
be a prison lover
Albany
(AP) The greatest legacy of former Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller, who ruled New York
during the days of plenty, may be seen in
the ivy-covered walls of a state university
system built largely during his tenure.
For Gov. Mario Cuomo, it may be the
fences topped with razor ribbon around
the 29 state prisons opened office a
decade ago.
Cuomo may be too busy to think about
a legacy, but his critics aren’t. In what
seems to be merging as this year’s theme
for activists who want the state to spend
more money on education, they are
tweaking Cuomo for his record on
prisons and schools.
It’s a tack that Cuomo, and even some
of his critics, think is unfair.
It started at a recent news conference
when Gordon Purrington, president of the
New York State School Boards
Association, mockingly referred to
Cuomo presiding over a Decade of Prison
Construction. The dig hearkens back to
Cuomo’s 1988 declaration of the Decade
of the Child, unfortunately timed at the
eve of the recession.
Are we going to put the money into
education or are we going to out the
money into building prisons?” Purrington

Iraqi troops retreat
Kuwait
(AP) The commander of U.S. forces in
Kuwait says Iraqi troops who dispersed
during this month’s allied air attacks now
appear to be returning to their barracks in
southern Iraq.
Intelligence reports indicate movement
by two Iraqi army divisions -one
mechanized infantry and the other
armored -that are based in the southern
town of Basra, Maj. Gen. Robert Frix said
Tuesday.
If confirmed, the reports would lower the
level of threat against 2,000 American
soldiers deployed in Kuwait.
™T feel even more comfortable that they
do not pose a major ground threat to us at
this time,” said Frix, 53, of Mercedes,
Texas.
The Americans are conducting exercises
near Kuwait’s border with Iraq. They
include 1,200 soldiers from the Ist
Cavalry Division based at Fort Hood,
Texas, who were hurriedly flown in
during the latest confrontation with Iraq.
Clinton avoids problem
Mogadishu, Somalia
(AP) When George Bush first entertained
the notion of sending U.S. troops to
Somalia, he suggested most could be
home before he left the presidency. They
weren't, and many appear to be in for a
long stay,
The length of that stay is apparently a
question the new president, Bill Clinton,
has not fully addressed in his first days in
the White House.
There is little doubt among diplomats,
military officials and other observers in
the Somali capital on what to avoid:
American engagement or an intense
involvement in a quagmire.
Disengagement for Clinton, however,
may be more difficult than engagement
was for Bush.
Naked Guy expelled
Berkley, Calif.
(AP) A college student known as the
“Naked Guy” for his nude meanderings
has gotten an order from administrators:
Take off.
Andrew Martinez, a 19-year-old at the
University of California, said Tuesday he
received an expulsion letter declaring that
his “refusal to return to campus
appropriately clothed would continue to

disrupt essential university functions.”
University spokesman Jesus Mena
refused to discuss the expulsion, citing
confidentiality rules.
But it had been clear for some time that
adminstrators were not happy as Martinez
reworked the school’s slogan of “Go
Bears” by going bare. In September,
Martinez, who by that time was well
known by his nom de buff “Naked Guy”
led a campus nude-in.
Martinez was suspended for 14 days, but
that punishment had to be rescinded
because the university didn’t follow
proper procedure.
Jalepenos wagered
Austin, Tex.
(AP) State officials in Texas and New
York have friendly wagers going over the
outcome of Sunday’s Super Bowl game
between the Dallas Cowboys and the
Buffalo Bills.
Texas Gov. Ann Richards said Tuesday
she’ll send New York Goy. Mario Cuomo
a year’s supply of jalapeno peppers if the
Cowboys lose. She even selected a

No singing senator
New York
(AP) Forget the tabloid headline. Barbara
Streisand will not audition for a new role
as Senator Yentl.
“Running for the Senate is out of the
question,” the singer, actress and
filmmaker said in a statement released
Tuesday. “There should be no confusion
between someone with political passion
and someone with political ambition.”
Streisand was standing with both feet in
the former category on the day the New
Staff photo by Edwil Fontainilla
York Post trumpeted her alleged
candidacy on its front page with the
headline, “Senator Yentl,” a play on the
film “Yentl” in which she starred.
While the 50-year-old Streisand told the
Post she was flattered by the idea, it only
took hours before Barbara was backing
off from a bid for Capitol Hill office
space.
According to the published report,
Streisand floated the idea of a run for
elective offfice during the round of
inaugural parties last week in Washington.
The Clinton supporter, who has homes in
New York and California, could have
possibly run in either state.
"I know I have visibility, which gives me
a forum, and if there's anything I can do to
help people or the world I live in, I feel
it's my tesponsibility to do so as an artist
and as a caring person," Streisand
continued, sounding like a politician.
L.I. tavern torched
New York
(AP) A reputed Gambino crime family
associate was charged with helping to
torch a tavern that competed with a Long
Island gay bar allegedly controlled by
John Gotti Jr. and his pals.
Matthew “Matty” Sorrentino, a 32-
year-old restaurant worker described by
law enforcers as a member of young
Gotti’s crime crew, pleaded innocent at an
arraignment Tuesday before Magistrate
Michael L. Orenstein and was released on
$200,000 bond.
Sorrentino, of Howard Beach, Queens,
faces up to 15 years in prison and a
$500,000 fine if convicted of the charges -
Conspiracy to commit arson .
Defense lawyer Joseph Corozzo said
Sorrentino had no role in the May 1992
fire and only told his associates how to
get to the targeted bar, Thunders on
Jericho Turnpike in Smithtown.
The FBI is looking for a second alleged
mob arsonist and Gotti associate, John
“Johnny Biz” Radice.
According to confidential sources cited in
court papers filed in Brooklyn federal
court, Radice wanted the gay bar
Thunders burned out because it was in
competition with Infinities, a gay bar just
a block away that was controlled by
Gotti’s gang,
Two men, who were paid $4,000 by
Radice and Sorrentino, burned the
building with 10 gallons of gasoline, the
sources told the FBI.
According to the criminal complaint,
members of Gotti’s crew provided
“protection” at Infinities in exchange for
a percentage of the bar’s business.
Federal prosecutors say Gotti, the son of
convicted mob boss John Gotti, is a
“capo” or captain of a Gambino crew of
truck hijackers and extortionists.
He was not charged in the arson scheme.

Albany shelters attempt to conquer the cold
Experts say number of homeless in Albany continues to grow
By ELLEN KACKMANN
Contributing Editor
One need not be a resident of the state of New York to
realize New York, as well as the remainder of the United
States is confronted with a tragically high number of
homeless individuals. Albany, like most other
metropolitan areas, has a growing number of homeless
shelters.
“It’s like a snowball rolling downhill,” said Dennis
Burr, staff member of the Homeless Action Committee’s
Shelter located in the Lincoln Park bath-house. Burr
said the number of homeless individuals in the Capital
Region is definitely growing and there is a pressing need
to confront the issue immediately. Without dealing with
the situation, at present, said Burr, the member of
homeless begins to multiply every year. “A lot of people
are coming from larger cities to Albany,” saying their
hometowns don’t provide the homeless services Albany
does, said Thomas, and many of those people end up
permanently settled in Albany.
When asked what age group predominantly uses the
shelter, Randy Thomas, Night Supervisor of the
Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless, said “Younger
people [ages 18 to 30], more than older.” Burr, of the
Lincoln Park Shelter said they attracted “definitely more
men than women,” but the “ages range,” said Thomas.
Thomas also noted the Interfaith Partnership for the
Homeless drew in more men than women.
Interfaith’s Shelter has been operating as an
independent organization at 26 Swan Street since 1986,
before which it was located on Clinton Avenue.
Interfaith is operated as a communal residence for
people who are homeless, said Thomas. According to
Thomas, Interfaith tries to see that residents do not need
to remain for a period extending beyond three weeks.
During the period in which a person is a resident of
Interfaith, guests are helped in their pursuit of a normal
lifestyle; said Thomas. In order to instill a feeling of
home and a sense of responsibility, “Every night
everyone has a different chore,” at Interfaith, said
Thomas, the result being a communal residence. It is
also during the period that Interfaith will refer guests to
self-help programs, such as A.A., or drug rehabilitation
programs, said Thomas.
Thomas said the residents of Interfaith who are
substance abusers often end up providing tremendous
strength for one another. “They sit and talk amongst
themselves and discuss what they’ ve been through,” said
Thomas. “Those who admit [a dependence] are ready
for help.”
The Lincoln Park Shelter doesn’t sponsor any self-
help programs , but will refer its residents to locations
where they may seek help, said Burr. “Most every
homeless person I know has an addiction,” said Burr,
whether it be drug or alcohol related. “We will use our
personal resources to get that person help, if they are in
need of a program,” said Burr.
Despite the fact that the Homeless Action
Committee’s Lincoln Park Shelter is funded by the state,
“The Department of Social Services [with which the
shelter works] doesn’t do a lot to help these people,”
and, as a result, they use outside organizations, such as
H.A.C. to attend to the situation, said Burr.
With the cold weather, both shelters have noticed
increase in the number of people using the facilities.
“People are trying to come in from the cold,” said Burr.
With the winter rush of residents, both shelters find
themselves in need of supplies. “Donations of bed
linens, towels, health, and beauty aids are always in
demand,” said Thomas.
Both shelters, according to Thomas and Burr
respectively, receive food on a regular basis from the
Regional Food Bank as well as through private
donations. Neither shelter has reported a shortage of
food supplies, but no donations will be turned away.
Like food donations, volunteers are always in need as
well and would provide services such as preparing
meals, answering phones, or socializing with the guests,
Thomas said.
When asked about the growing number of shelters in
the Albany area, Burr said “it’s not one person or one
organization’s fault.”
If anyone is interested in volunteering with Interfaith,
they should contact Pat Simmons at 434-8021 from 10
a.m.. to 4 p.m., weekdays or they may show up at the
shelters’ communal breakfasts, which are held Mondays
and Fridays from 7:30 a.m. until 9:00 a.m., Thomas said.
For those interested in volunteering with the Lincoln
Park Shelter, they should contact Aimee Minbiole, the
Volunteer Coordinator, weekdays, at 489-5257.
Intercession burglaries teach students a lesson

Another suggestion he had was to
obtain Renter’s Insurance and to let a
neighbor or trusted friend know that no
one will be home. He said using timers
for lights and radios and to secure the
house using lights available.
Most of the burglaries that occur
happen because students don’t pay
attention to the area where there is the
most concealment and dark areas and the
easiest access, Frank said.
“Make it as hard as they can for a
burglar to get in,” Frank said. Officer
Frank encouraged students to come down
to the Albany Police Department and
pick up brochures and pamphlets on
Apartment and Home Security as well as
participate in Operation ID and the
Inventory List available from Albany

susceptible to crime unless students take
the necessary precautions before they
leave.
During this past winter break, at least
eight to nine reported burglaries occurred
in students’ off campus apartments, says
Tom Gebhardt, Director of Off Campus
Housing. Most of the burglaries were a
result of unlocked windows or doors but
some students found the glass broken
around their doors when they returned
from the intercession, Gebhardt said.
“There was usually only about four or
five items stolen but they were expensive
ones like t.v.’s and stereos. Burglars
know in a couple of minutes they can get
away with about $1500 worth of stuff,”
Gebhardt said.
Since last July, a cooperation between
the Albany Police Department and the
Department of Residential Life and
Housing makes it possible for Residential
Life to compile the statistics and help to
set strategies for educating students.
Between July and December, 22% of
the reports given to Residential Life
indicated apartment burglaries where
items were stolen and an additional 10%
of the reports were attempted burglaries.
Of the burglarized apartments, 17% were
a result of unlocked doors and windows,
Gebhardt said.
“Students are doing a better job
reporting suspicious things to the police,”
Gebhardt said. “It is important to get
students to cooperate with the Police.”
Students should have an inventory of
what they own, said Officer Jerry Frank
of the Albany Police Department’s
Community Service Unit. This includes
all the heavy electronic items such as
stereo and computers, Frank said.
“A lot of kids don’t have an inventory

Vandalism at LGBA displays ill
feeling on campus towards gays
By Karen STEIN
Editorial Assistant
Students from the Lesbian Gay Bisexual
Alliance were frustrated when they returned from
the winter break to find their office vandalized.
Before the break, L.G.B.A. had pro-gay and
pro-lesbian stickers and flyers on the door as well
information on where to go for HIV testing, said
Richard Nacy, L.G.B.A. public relations
chairperson,
Most of the information was ripped but left up
on the wall and door. Nacy said this “‘ was more
insulting than ripping it down.”
UPD was contacted regarding the vandalism,
but L.G.B.A. has not yet heard anything.
According to Assistant Director John Henigan of
UPD, there were “no other threats implied or
associated with this occurrence.”
Both Henigan and Nacy realize that the
vandalism could have been done by anyone who
was able to get into the Campus Center. Nacy
said this is “very discouraging.”
Since the students returned, they found their
podium postings ripped down the day after they
were put up; Nacy said they were all legally
posted and most of the flyers were found
crumbled, right below the poles or found defaced
with words such as “dike” or “fag.”

Over 400 current Albany
students may find their financial
aid status changed this year.
Due to government
modifications in the Financial
Aid process, many of the
students who qualified as
independent will now have to
apply as dependent based upon
parent income.
The students affected by these
status changes will have two
options open to them, said
Richard Tastor, active director
of financial aid. The first is the
new UN subsidized Stafford
Loan, guaranteed to nearly
every student regardless of
family income. The second,
more difficult option is to
provide documentation about
one’s unique situation, Tastor
said.
The Financial Aid Office will
have the discretion in giving out
the aid to students affected by
the amendments.
Tastor said the question of
independence “is going to slow
things down,” and will “clog up
financial aid.”
Carson Carr, Associate Dean
of Academic Support Services,
said these new amendments will
also affect students with EOP
status. Under the new law,
students will have to provide
documentation from several
sources including their parents,
Carr said.
Carr said some of the student
he works with “are separated
from their parents and can’t get
the documentation they need.
These students will be left out in
the cold.” The new guidelines,
Carr said, won’t give the
flexibility that students need.
“These students won’t get into
Albany or any school away from
home,” said Carr. The only
option left for these students
will be community colleges,
Carr said.
Another change in the
legislation applies to the regular
f Announcing
COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE
Stafford Loan application. The
Office of Financial Aid now
expects that eligible students
will receive loan applications in
the mail.
“It is not longer necessary,”
Tastor said, “to turn in a loan
application to Financial Aid. By
filing the appropriate financial
aid form, student eligibility for
loans and grants will be
calculated, and loan forms
automatically mailed to
students.”
With all of these changes,
Tastor said the process will be
more complete this year. The
deadline to apply for all forms
of financial aid is April 23,
1993, but Tastor said, “ the best
time to file is from mid-
February to mid-April.”
Tastor said students should
plan their income tax
Preparation now to speed up the
process. Tastor also encouraged
students to come to the
Financial Aid Office during
February for assistance and
information.

Social Security recipients angered
by Clinton's proposed benefit limits
Washington, D.C.
(AP) Senate Democrats and groups representing tens of milions of
older people are grousing as President Clinton considers limiting
benefits paid to Social Security recipients.
Drawing the most heat is a proposal to eliminate for one year the
annual increase to keep recipients ahead of inflation.
That could cut the budget deficit by $10 billion in 1994.
But it would take a $282 bite out of the average retiree’s annual
payments, bringing them to $7,836, according to the American
Association of Retired Persons.
“Such a proposal is unacceptable,” Senate Finance Committee
Chairman Daniel Patrick Moynihan said Thursday after the White
House acknowledged that it was among ideas under consideration.
Other plans Clinton is considering would hold Social Security
cost-of-loving increases below the inflation rate or increase the
taxes the most well-to-do recipients pay on their benefits.
All would provide billions of dollars in saving s for Clinton’s
effort to reduce budget red ink with changes in the governmentt’s
biggest program, which will cost more than $300 billion this year.
Opposition from Moynihan, the Senate’s expert on Social
Security, is important because Social Security legislation must
move through his committee.
The negative reaction from the New York Democrat and others
on Capitol Hill showed that any move to trim benefits will still set
off a political uproar and be difficult to get through Congress.
Nearly 41 million retired and disabled Americans and their
survivors get monthly checks under the wywtem.
Moynihan said that eliminating the cost-of-living increase next
year would be hardest on poor retirees who rely most heavily on
the program.
“It would push more than 300,000 persons into poverty next
year,” he said.
Moynihan was joined by Senate Budget Committee Chairman
James Sasser, D-Tenn., and Sen, Donald Riegle, D-Mich., who
expressed doubt that Clinton would propose slashing the cost-of -
living adjustment.
Riegle said he would oppose the idea and Sasser said he would
be reluctant to support it.
Horace B. Deets, executive director of AARP, said limiting cost-
of-living and adjustments “would endanger the hard-won economic
independence and security of millions of Americans.”
And Max Richtman, executive vice president of the Naitonal
Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, said: “We are
flabbergasted there would even be consideration of using the Social
Security trust fund to... address the deficit problem.”
The Social Security Administration estimates the January 1994
cost-of-living increase would be 3.2
In saying that Clinton is considering reining Social Security
costs, White House spokesman George Stephanopoulos said the
administration would produce a plan that is “both fair and solves
the goals of putting growth in the economy and achieving deficit
reduction.”
Clinton also weighed raising taxes on benefits Wednesday when
he discussed deficit reduction with top aides and congressional
Democrats at the White House, said two officials who attended the
meeting and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Currently, only retirees earning more than $25,000 a year_
$32,000 for couples _ owe tax on their Social Security benefits.
That covers the one-fourth most well-to-do retirees who must pay
income tax on up to 50 percent of those benefits, a percentage that
could be increased.

“Rave Parties" hit mainstream of coll
By Jerr SCHNUFSER
(CPS) Want to be the first on your
campus to set the trends? Well, take a
power nap, down a smart drink, slap on
your clogs and prepare to “rave on” in
1993 to the newest fads springing up
around the nation.
One of the most intriguing trends
sweeping the nation is the new night life
off campus. Raves have blossomed at
warehouses and other large hideaways as
spontaneous underground parties that are
often advertised on fliers just hours
before the fun begins. Party promoters,
known as “crews,” put on shows
featuring hypnotic, pulsating music,
ranging from hip hop to house to techno
music.
The trend, which originated in England,
has spread to the West and East Coasts
and other major metropolitan cities in the
United States.
While many ravers simply dance and
enjoy the music, others combine the
experience with the illegal psychedelic
drug called ecstasy. The drug supposedly
adds to the atmosphere of the event,
which can be fairly bizzare. Often, raves
can last all night long, with the dancers
spinning themselves into a state of altered
consciousness. In fact, some ravers use
the word “spiritual” to describe the group
experience.
“This one rave I went to was called
‘Shiva’s Erotic Banquet,”’ said Tina
Farahnik, 18, a sophomore at California
State University, Northridge. Farahnik
paid $20 for the experience. “There was a
whole bunch of people. There was a
dance room, strobe light rooms, a body
paint room, a Timothy Leary reading.
There were people going around trying to
feed you fruits and grapes.”
Raving apparel may vary, although
stocking caps, whistles around the neck,
black outerwear, bell-bottom jeans,
platform shoes—anything with the ‘70s
look—are common. The experiences, on
the other hand, usually are, although they
may be hard to recall in the morning.
“I went to (a rave) that was outside at a
farm,” said one student, who asked not to
be identified. “I think there were cows or
we're hard at work.
The ASP throws parties that would put
those above mentioned "rave" parties to
Shame. And when we're not partying,
and meet the party animals that work at
the ASP. Ask for Joe, Pat, Pam, Allison,
Mike, Ed, Kelly, and Brendan.

something. I really don’t remember
much.”
Raving is not the only fad to surface
recently. To help rejuvenate those
memory cells, young people have begun
to guzzle “smart drinks,” a new trend in
beverages that contain amino acids and
other natural ingredients designed to
induce chemical reactions in the brain
that are supposed to make you think
clearer.
While some dismiss the idea as a “pet
tock” type trend that will fade, others are
taking it more seriously. “I have a friend
who wants to open a ‘smart bar,” said
Beatrice Makabeh, 19, a student at Cal
State, Northridge.
Another new drink that is appealing to
student’s natural instincts is “Zima,” a
clear, filtered malt liquor that tastes like
citrus-flavored mineral water.
Perhaps the best thing about many of
the new trends is that they don’t cost a lot
of money. Many are new twists on
“reverb” (reverberation) trends from the
past.
Fashion is one of those catagories,
particularly when it comes to shoes.
While shoe stores across the country are
ordering Birkenstock sandals to catch up
with last year’s trend, some females are
digging into their parent’s closets and
pulling out their old platform shoes, go-
go boots and clogs from the 1970s.
“The ‘70s is totally in now,” says
Brooke Haber, 19, a Cal State, Northridge
student who sports a black winter coat to
match a sexy “beatnik”-style long black
haircut and rose-colored lipstick.
For futuristic-minded pedestrians,
rollerblades not only remain popular, they
have evolved into a sport. Rollerblade
hockey leagues are springing up on
California campuses.
And if that’s not enough of a kick for an
athlete, fans of “hackey sack,” a melon
sized wicker ball, may soon have
something to jump for joy about—again.

hackey sack volleyball, is drawing in
young athletes. Played with a low net, the
game lets players literally kick with their
feet, butt with their heads—whatever it
takes—to get the ball over the net without
using hands or arms.
Another foreseeable trend is less painful
and more practical. If you are one of
those who has problems reading your
own class notes, get ready for the next
brainstorm in artificial intelligence.
Available sometime in 1993, students can
buy a small, portable electronic notepad
that translates your scribbles into the
English language. “I think that’s going
to be a killer item. It’s one of the things I
think students are going to like,” said
Danny Marder, 22, a salesman at a
computer store that caters to college
students in Los Angeles.
Sometimes, translating notes is not half
as hard as translating the trendy, new
slang words. Some California students
provided us with a taste of slang words
that are now catching on, although,
thanks to MTV, you may have already
heard some of them.
The new slang could be particularly
handy for social occasions. Beautiful
women, for instance, are now
complimented as “nectar.” Handsome
males are “fine” or “freaks.” Unattractive
people are “to the curve.” Flirting is
“working it.” Making out is “mashing”
or “grinding.”
The new slang words also describe
good and bad events. Good events or
things are “dope.” Bad events or things
are “weak sauce.” “Right on” is “that’s
sweet.” “That's awesome” is “that’s the
bomb.” “That’s awful” is “that’s trifling.”
People who “got dogged” had an
embarrassing moment. When something
is stolen, someone “jacked” it.
If this trendy forecast feels too
overwhelming to remember it all, don’t
get “frusty” (a new slang for frustrated).
In fact, there’s a new California trend that

The workshops will be multidisciplinary.
Each workshop will focus on a specific discipline, but with an eye to exploring the numerous links that
multimedia technology makes possible among various disciplines.
| &
The workshops will be multiplatform.
| Each workshop will attempt to take advantage of at least two or three of the following platforms:
-The MPC (Multimedia PC) is an IBM-compatible personal computer with a built-in CD-player and digital audio-
video capabilities.
| With QuickTime, the Mac "goes to the movies,” but now QuickTime also works with Windows. With QuickTime
and Video for Windows, the curtain rises on desktop video, the natural successor to desktop publishing.
-The videodisc uses analog technology and is a "transitional medium." It works especially well with the Mac.
Conversely, the CD-ROM (Compact Disk-Read Only Memory) is at the center of the multimedia revolution. It
works with both the PC and the Mac.
-Although a "consumer device,” the CD-I (Compact Disk-Interactive) is one of the most important recent
developments i education. A CD-I player is connected to a TV set, not to a computer.
-There is an enormous potential for the network delivery of multimedia consumer and education applications.
The information highway of tomorrow is taking shape.
This series has been conceived by Professor Ray Ortali, Director of Minitech 2000, and will be conducted with the
assistance of other multimedia specialists from various departments at the University at Albany, and six "multimedia technology interns," who will
staff the Minitech 2000 project.
6 It will be conducted in close cooperation with members of the IMA (Interactive Multimedia Association), OPA ( Optical
Publisher Association), the CD-I Association of North America, IISC (International Interactive Communications Society), AECT (Association for
Applied Learning Technologies), SALT (Society for Applied Learning Technology), ACH (Association for Computers and the Humanities), the
IALL (International Association for Language Learning), and EDUCOM, of which Professor Ortali is an active member.
The mini-workshops are free and open to faculty members and students alike.
Demos and discussion at noon, 12: 30, |: 00, and 1:30.
For last-minute information, check the University Calendar.
Because this is a "mini-lab,” reservations are necessary:
To reserve, please call Professor Ray Ortali at 439-7785 or 442-4105, or Charleen at 442-4100.

Sesame Street satire raises eyebrows
Fort Collins, Colorado
(CPS) The spot where Colorado
State University art student
Heath Johnson displayed a
painting now has a letter from
the Children’s Television
Workshop, the producer of
“Sesame Street,” hanging in its
place.
Johnson had _ painted
“Sesame’s Treat,” which
depicted muppet characters Bert
and Ernie in an intimate sexual
position, with Big Bird watching
through the window, and
displayed the art work in a
student exhibition.
“The whole thing was meant
to be a satirical comment,” he
said. “Here’s Bert and Ernie
living together so long, two guys
who would be pinpointed as
being gay. They don’t date any
of the female characters.”
However, the Children’s
Television Workshop threatened
to sue the university over
copyright infringement. Instead
of fighting the Children’s
Television Workshop, Johnson
agreed to remove the painting
and left the letter in its spot at
Colorado State’s student center.
“They sent me the letter,
basically pointing out that it was
copyright infringement. I
respected that,” Johnson said. “It
was seen by the audience I felt I
wanted to see it. It served its
point. I don’t have anything
against Children’s Television
Workshop.”
He said it was his decision,
and school officials didn’t order
him to remove the painting. A
university official said the
Children’s Television Workshop
actually urged Colorado State to
destroy the picture. However,
the university couldn’t do that
since Johnson owned the
painting.
Johnson said that the 5-by-5-
foot oil painting had a good
reception at the school, but
residents in Fort Collins
complained to Denver’s public
television station and Children’s
Television Workshop about it.

By Luba Smith
This article is dedicated to those
same people at SUNY Albany who
often say on the phone, “We don't
have any programs for learning
English for foreign students;”
read it, guys-and you will be
pleasantly surprised!
For the good start I will
give you, dear readers, some
general information (the source of
this information is a special
brochure called “English
for International
Students,” one of those
little things that we
usually call “the book of
lies”- actually, in the
case of the Intensive
English Language
Program, otherwise
known as the IELP,
everything is quite true.
The Intensive English
Language Program first
opened its doors in
1978. Since that time,
over 1600 students from
approximately sixty
countries throughout the
world have studied
English in the IELP
classrooms. It is a
personalized program
designed to improve the
skills of those for whom
English is a second
language.
According to Mary Kay
Sawyer, director of the
program, right now there
are 55 students from 14
countries around the
world “who either want
to seek admission to an
American college or
university, or wish to
improve their English for
business, personal, or
professional reasons.”
“It is a year-round
program. Every day from
Monday through Friday,
students attend five
hour classes. There
are four levels:
beginning,low-
intermediate, intermediate, and
advanced. In addition to
classroom interaction, IELP
students also engage in a variety
of organized activities and cultural
events to help ensure that they
will experience the fullest positive
use of the English language and
+ increase their knowledge of the
American culture.”
There are five subjects taught
every day, including: grammar,
reading, composition, listening
comprehension, and conversation
Also, once a week there are
electives. Examples include
practice for the Engish as a
Foreign Language exam,
“pronunciation” and “idiomatic
English.”
An activity/speaker program
offers students picnics, team
sports, a safety-security speaker,
an AIDS speaker, and a lecture by
a foreign student advisor on
immigration regulations. A
conversation partner program
enables students to meet and
converse on an informal basis
with an American.
“The ‘English Only' policy
requires use of only English in
classes, and in situations outside
of class also.” That is an
interesting thing! It means that
as soon as you are a student of
IELP, you sign a piece of paper-
making the obligation to speak
only in English in the school and
the only chance to the world
peace. People learn about each
other and different ways to do
things. It is beautiful.”
It is essential that all of the IELP
teachers speak one or a few
foreign languages. Sawyer
explains that, "Because they are
in fact, teaching a foreign
language, they empathize with the
learners if they have been through
it themselves. If they have ever
struggled learning Russian,
French, or Spanish, they know
LEARNING THE LANQUAGE-
out. Whether you follow this
agreement or not, from my
experience in IELP, is up to you.
To sign it- that is the important!
thing (I find it very cute).
“Medical insurance coverage is
required for all international
students.” This is true. If you
already have insurance, it doesn’t
matter. There is a duty to pay.
(One very piquant detail: IELP
students who actually paid the
medical in September 1992
received their insurance cards-
some of them- at the very end of
November, some - at the
beginning of December. It means
they still have several days to use
it! Lucky guys!
In September, 1992, I became a
IELP student. So far, it was the
best thing that I ever did in the
USA. I love it!!! As Barbara
Berkum said, “It is a kind of
paradise, where everybody can
meet on an equal level. This is
SUNYA'S INTENSIVE ENGLISCH PROGRAM
what it is like to be on the other
side.”
Sawyer’s secretary, Cathy, is not
an "ordinary clerk" either; she has
her bachelor's degree in
communications and “a lot of
responsibilities behind the
Scenes,” she adds. They really
look nice together of all of these
people, don’t you think? The only
question is “What do they do?”
The answer that they only teach
English would be correct, but not
complete because they teach
English to foreign students, who
are very special human beings.
Imagine: the big black dog runs
to your room and bites off your
tongue. Now you can't talk!
Friends and relatives try to
understand you, but they can't.
You are sad and very miserable,
but there is not much you can do.
That picture is close to what
foreign students feel when they
arrive in the United States. The
situation even worsens. In your
case the big black dog stole only
your tongue. You still have ears
to listen and understand. The
ears of foreign students can
accept sounds too but the level of
comprehension very often is
“zero.”
As time goes, the picture
changes. Some of the words,
become very familiar. Terrible “th”
and ‘“r” already can be
pronounced. Yet here is another
hook: foreign students start to
speak, but it is just
“baby talk"! Believe me,
when you know only
how to say correctly
“hi," “bye,” and “see
you,” it is very difficult
to discuss something
intellectual! Again,
there are more and
more frustrations.
Sometimes, there is
only one wish- to
scream very loudly, “I’m
not a baby! I’m an
educated person! I’m
not stupid!” (You see,
now you know if you
hear something like this
in the downtown area
around midnight, it
doesn't mean anything
horrible, it's just foreign
students expressing
themselves.)
I'm looking now at
the sheet of paper with
the tree on it. The
name of the plant is
“problems of foreign
students” There are
seven thick branches,
each has the name of a
problem: language,
customs, racism, safety,
expenses, loneliness,
and isolation and food.
The “Language”
branch includes the
difficulties experienced
in understanding slang,
idioms, expressions,
signs and pronunciation
and even other people.
Included in the
“customs” question, there is
something similar to operating a
telephone, tipping in the
restaurant, and paying sales tax.
Even leaving bags in front of the
book shop could make foreign
students feel awkward.
“Racism”: oriental people (the
majority among foreign students)
sometimes sense being shunned.
“Safety” means that students
are afraid of the danger of rape,
drugs, guns, illness, insurance,
and car accidents.
“Loneliness and isolation,” in
other words “home sickness,” are
the consequences of everything
above. Especially it is hard to
make American friends.
“Food” could be a problem too:
too sweet, too greasy, too salty...
and every day in the dormitory
cafe, the same “cuisine”. 2
Finally there are “expenses,”
money. Money for living,
approximately $1800 per semester
FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1993 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS 11
for the dorm, money for tuition
$1980, money for travels and for
clothes...
Tough isn't it? Well this list was
made by my classmates, the
advanced level students in
September. It has been only
three months since, but the
problems seem to have nearly
disappeared. In their interviews
in December, students were
complaining about the “lack in the
right equipment and organization
in the afternoon classes, about
long hours of homework,"
(Tomako). Ahn (it is her last
name, but everybody knows her
as Ahn anyway) was saying that
this is not smart. “When 6 or 7
Korean and Japanese are in the
same class and there are only
single representatives from other
countries” she thinks, maybe it is
better “not only to separate
students according to their ability,
but also try to mix more different
cultures and different countries.”
Nobody was talking about
customs or racism, etc.
Only two old problems came out
in conversations. One question
was raised by me: the program
costs almost $200. Is it expensive,
is it worth it? Well, out of the
nine students I interviewed, seven
said it was costly and two said
they think that compared to the
other programs, it was
inexpensive. Eight students
think that tuition in IELP is worth
$2000, only one person didn't
think so.
I asked directors of the program
the same questions. In her
opinion, “It is not that expensive
for what is offered, or in
comparison to other programs.”
It's true that the $2000 probably
excludes some of the people, but it
is reality. But given the amount
of class time and extra time, small
group interaction and attention,
and activities, and books, it is not
overpriced. It’s worth it.” As you
see, there is almost complete
unanimity amongst students and
Mary Kay.
O.K. now, if you already forgot,
we were still talking about
problems. The still unsolved
ancient one is “food” (Ilias).
Unfortunately, I think, even with
IELP forces, this mystery couldn't
fully be resolved. Yet, there were
(are for two more weeks) some
good efforts. For example apple
Picking could be considered not
only as fun, but also a possibility
for food supply. Or, every
Wednesday from 10:50 until 11:10
there is a “coffee break” outside of
IELP office. It is a good
opportunity to meet people, to talk
to them, to drink coffee (for free!)
and to put some crackers in the
pockets too.
I love our teachers. Mary Kay
Sawyer calls them “a dream team”
because they are a nice group of
people to work with; they are
“people people.” They are
individuals who have a real
interest in human problems, who
care about and are interested in
other cultures. (According to
Yusef, simply “teachers are
lovely”).
Actually, let me tell you more
about them. Gail Scholonleck, is
a musician. “She doesn’t want to
earn her living by doing music
because she doesn’t want to be
commercial. In the IELP she has
a chance to do something she
likes and continue doing music.”
Besides English, Gail speaks
French.
Douglas Sawyer studied
computer engineering for one year
in the college. “I did very well, but
I hated it. Then for a couple of
years I was doing nursing. | liked
it, but I wasn’t good at it.” Asa
result of all above, he became
JELP teacher. He speaks Spanish
and a very little Japanese.
Marcia Schultz is my favorite
one. Without her encouragement
and support, I would have never
started to write again. (So if you
hate my articles, here is the one to
blame!) She speaks Spanish,
Italian, German, and Portuguese.
Shelwyn and Emmet Carigan,
husband and wife (between some
students they have the nickname
“Addams Family” in a good crazy
way). Shelwyn has already taught
already for ten years, For Emmet,
the fall of 1992 is the very
beginning of his teaching career.
Answering the question “Does the
fact that you are a family help in
your job?” Shelwyn said that,
“Economically it helps. Also we
ean plan our future together and I
know on the daily basis what is
happening to my husband-
sometimes it’s a real mystery
what's happening to a woman's
husband during the day. We
share our lives completely and I'm
real happy about it.” Emmet
added that he is “definitely happy
too. Most of the time anyway.” By
the way, Shelwyn speaks French
and Spanish, Emmet Indonesian.
Linda Leary has been in the
program since 1980. She has
three small children and right now
can't travel. Yet she thinks that
“maybe when she retires she will
take up everybody who invited her
and she will see the world. Her
students will be her guides and
will treat her as a queen.”
Barbara Berkum has her own
recipe for teacher's special
technique: “patience, humor,
acting.” She speaks Spanish.
Fan Lanying, even for IELP, is a
unique person. She is originally
from China and during the
cultural revolution for 10 years,
didn’t have any formal education.
When she came to America, she
accomplished the master’s
program in ESL for one year. Now
she has two degrees- in TESL and
informational sciences. Also, she
is an author of one of our
textbooks. She speaks both
Chinese and English.
Teresa Duncan is the youngest
and the last. She spent three
years abroad teaching English in
Taiwan and Thailand. She speaks
Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese,
German, French and Thai.
(Students remark behind her
back,“She is a genius’).
On December 18, there was the
final conference of IELP, the end of
the semester. It meant that some
of the people who think that
“English is the #1 language in the
world” would go back home.
Some of those who already were
admitted to American colleges
would start a new life there. Some
of the students of course would
stay in the program a little longer,
but sooner or later, they would say
good-bye too. “Model students,
hard workers, very motivated, very
mature, whose thirst for
knowledge is remarkable, much
more than standard American
students, most fascinating people
in the world, etc., etc., etc."(how
often do your teachers
compliment you like this?) all
would go somewhere away very
soon. It is sad and a little painful.
I didn’t want to say “good-bye to
you guys!”
T'll see you... later?

Refocus the Laser
During the election campaign President Clinton
made several promises to the American people,
among them, letting Haitians immigrate
unimpeded to the U.S., giving the middle class a
tax break, ordering the military to change policy
regarding the admission of homosexuals and - an
issue that he stressed was “focusing like a laser
beam on the economy.”
In the first two weeks of the administration the
Zoe Baird controversy and the homosexual ban
have reset Clinton’s laser.
The issue itself aside, it’s admirable that the
president is devoting so much effort to one
promise - letting gays into the military. However,
Bill Clinton is ignoring his promise on the
economy (the main reason he was elected). At the
same time he’s losing political clought on a fight
that will certainly go to Congress. It’s time for the
President to use subtlety with the issue of
homosexuals in the military, and refocus the laser
to deal with the economy and deficit head on.
Join,Rush,Get
Involved!
As the semester begins, the podium is covered
with interest flyers, meeting announcements, and
tush bulletins. The ASP has already held one
interest meeting and other organizations are
encouraging students to get involved,
Now’s the time, folks! As organizations start
looking for members, remember this is college
and if you’re going to study you should also try to
have fun. So join the ASP, Student Association, a
club or go Greek. That’s what college is all about.
Get The Balance
Right
This year’s state budget is in, and Governor
Cuomo hasn’t forced the State University Board
of Trustees to step up the tuition on SUNY
students, which is good — to an extent.
Unfortunately, the Governor continued to cut back
on Tuition Assistance Program awards and hasn’t
restored funds that were cut from earlier budgets.
During the 1980’s Cuomo kept a lid on SUNY
tuition to assure his political survival, then over
several years kept hitting students for more dough.
Perhaps Mr. Cuomo should think about making
incremental increases every year to keep us all out
of hot water.
Financial Dire
Straits
Currently dozens of students at SUNYA face the
crisis of losing their financial aid due to the new
regulations concerning declaration of parental
income and dependent or independent status. This
policy coupled with changes in Educational
Oppurtunity Program fund guidelines could leave
hundreds running for new sources of guaranteed
loans. Of course guaranteeing funds for all
students is a great policy-but the increase in red
tape is stupid, and it sHould be curbed whenever
possible.

No Cold War Victory For U.S.
It seems that in recent months the American media has
forgotten about one of the most potentially explosive
situations on the face of the planet. True, we have gotten
full coverage of the president’s cat, but there is a more
important topic that should be gracing the cover of
Newsweek. Apparently somebody out there has forgotten
about the former Soviet Union. True, Boris Yeltsin does
turn up on page ten of the New York Times every few
days, right behind the Amy Fisher stories. But, the fact
remains that since the “Collapse of Communism” Russia
hasn’t gotten as much attention as it should. The attitude
has been “well, the cold war is over. We won they lost.

Democracy has prevailed." This viewpoint couldn’t be
farther from the truth. In fact the introduction of
revolutionary reforms in Eastern Europe has left the
region in much worse condition than it was under the
Communists. I will go as far to say that the fall of
Communism could turn out to be the single most
disastrous event in recent history. We are already seeing
the early indications of the problems that revolutionary
change has brought on Russia. These problems will keep
on coming, with no end in sight.
First, there is the Russian economy. Always somewhat
sluggish and never capable of producing much in the line
of consumer goods, the economy there is in worse shape
now than when the Bolshevik revolution took place in
1917. The lines for goods are longer than ever and
shelves are empty all over the country. The ruble is at a
temarkably low level. In addition, the farmers can no
longer produce enough food to feed the population. Now
we are paying that bill with our grain with billions in
loans. Not exactly the type of progress we had hoped for.
A few years ago we were ready to fight this country.
Who would have ever thought that we'd be stuck feeding
it?
On top of the problems inside of Russia, the turmoil
there has spilled onto the international stage. This is
noticeable now in Germany. Maybe you've seen those
guys with the bad haircuts, steel tipped boots and
swastikas goose stepping around on TV. Well, the
resurgence of Nazis in Germany is, in part, due too
Russian reforms and the collapse of the communist
regime. No shit. Its all pretty simple, really. East
Germany had been a Soviet satellite site since the end of
World War Two. The Russians were given complete
responsibility of East Germany. Well in the midst of all
of these reforms of the Gorbachev leadership, some
rockhead decided that it was time to reunify Germany.
Apparently no one took into account the tremendous
burden East Germany would be on the then thriving West
German economy. Here we are, about four years later,
and the German economy is dropping off. Young men are
having trouble finding work (partially due to the influx of
Eastern Europeans into the job market). Soon, the

The Last American Buffalo
The American Buffalo once dominated the great plains
of the North American Continent. Traveling in a gigantic
herd, the buffalo would swarm across the landscape
wiping out anything or anyone in its path. The Native
Americans used their knowledge to take from the land
without depleting the earth’s resources. They understood
that delicate balance that protects all species from
extinction while providing for a sustainable environment.
Daniel Collender
One fine day, when the dark ages had passed, a great
white race from beyond the oceans came to explore what
lay beyond their own continent. This great European race
possessed a vast knowledge, unknown to the native
peoples. The European people were quite fond of a word
called “progress.” They were an insecure people, and felt
as if they were going nowhere and gaining nothing if they
were not exploring and later exploiting “new worlds.”
The Europeans’ greatest weapon was their military.
They understood (the natives did not) that a well
organized military could bring them great treasures and
glory in the “old world.” They were quite successful in
wiping out any opposition to their conquest and gaining
control in this glorious “new world.” Decades later, the
Europeans would practically eliminate the American
Buffalo, the source of the natives pride, from the face of
the earth. This was the European legacy, and it continues
today.
We move forward to the year 1993. As Americans, we
are a unique nation, a melting pot, a great mosaic, from
the four corners of the earth. As Americans we are ever
tolerant. We are tolerant of other races and creeds. We
look back at the Civil Rights era as a turning point in our
history, when we finally came to recognize the differences
and similarities that our brothers and sisters possessed.
Our leaders preach unity and togetherness, we grasp
hands and sing the memorable unity hymns of the 1960's.
Unfortunately, we are still not one people in spirit.
Our new President took the oath of office only a few
weeks ago. His campaign was ripe with the false
promises of past elections. The new President has
Promised us an economic rebirth in the shadow of
corporate downsizing, equality for all peoples while the
Congress and Joint Chiefs of Staff debate the merits and
demerits of allowing gays in the military, and a fair
foreign policy as the news reports trickle back showing
Muslim women who have been violated by Serbian
soldiers just following orders. If this is the American
reunion, I would hate to be there when they hold the
funeral.
Our nation is continually preoccupied with the concept
of a subtle manifest destiny. This primitive notion of
world dominance is still etched in the minds of our
government and military leaders. While our own nation
loses its economic backbone, our leaders argue over
morality issues that went out of vogue a generation ago.
This new period of progressive stagnation can only be
reversed with the arrival of some new force, be it a group
of people or political ideology, that embraces the wise
and simple notions of our continental ancestors .
There is no doubt that the United States is the greatest

The Truth About
Delta Sigma Pi
To the Editor:
As Brothers in the co-ed professional business
fraternity Delta Sigma Pi, we would like to inform
students as to what exactly a professional business
fraternity is. According to the Professional Fraternity
Association, “a professional fraternity is a specialized
fraternity which limits its membership to a specialized
field of professional education in colleges and
universities offering courses leading to recognized
degrees therein. It maintains a mutually exclusive
membership in that field and organizes its group life
specially to promote professional competency and
achievement within its field as well as its social life.”
We are strictly governed by our National Organization
and Regional Directors. Our Directors regularly attend
our events here at SUNY Albany and our chapter
attends regional and national conference.
Pledging is an educational pledging system.. You do
not wear pledge shirts, have curfew or get called out.
The success of our pledge program is contingent on
mutual respect between the brothers and pledges.
Delta Sigma Pi also supports many professional
activities on campus, the largest being Career Day
where over 60 firms came to campus to meet students.
We also sponsor workshops such as Dress for Success,
Resume Writing, Workplace Diversity, Sexual
Harassment in the Workplace, How to be a leader and
Interview Techniques, as well as many others.
We also participate in community programs such as
the Junior Achievement Business Basics Program. We

Fight to Save SUNY
To Students:
I am writing to you about an issue of vital concern to
you, to me, and a great many New Yorkers — higher
education and the lack of funding it is receiving from
New York State.
I have recently issue a report entitled “Access,
Excellence and the Economic Future of New York:
The Forgotten Promise,” which shows that New York
State has drastically reduced its funding for higher
education during the Cuomo Administration.
Sadly, New York has established skewed spending
priorities. My report shows that, while prison funding
has nearly quadrupled to $1.3 billion in the last ten years
— a 270 percent increase even after adjusted for
inflation, higher education has suffered an inflation-
adjusted cut of eight percent over the same period and
nearly a billion inflation-adjusted dollars in the last three
years.
No matter how you look it, higher education has taken
much more than its fair share of budget cuts. My
research has shown that:
1) State appropriations for higher education have
fallen eight percent between 1988-89 and 1992-93 and
SUNY’s loss has been 15 percent.
2) New York ranks 48th of all the states in the percent
of change (increase or decrease) in state support of
public higher education over the past two years.
3) The state’s ranking for per capita appropriation for
higher education has declined from 13th in 1989-1990 to
34th in 1991-1992.
4) In real dollars, the loss of higher education dollars
in the last five years is a billion dollars — or 26th
percent.
5) Total higher education spending as a percentage of
total state spending has declined from 10.5 percent in
1989 to 10.0 percent in 1992.
6) Tuition at both SUNY and CUNY has nearly
doubled in the last two years, as access is being denied to
more and more students and demand is projected to
increase by nine percent 1996.
7) TAP aid and BUNDY aid have suffered enormous
cutbacks, further reducing the possibility of access to the
neediest of students.
Clearly, there needs to be change in the way New
York treats its higher education systems in terms of
funding. I am and will continue to urge the Governor to
change New York’s priorities and to fulfill his pledge
to focus on what he has called the three stars in the
firmament of our higher education system; “Access,
Excellence, and the Economic Future of New York”.
I recognize that these cuts hurt you as students the
most, and I hope that the information I have gathered
will help you in the effort to provide adequate funding
for higher education.
I will continue to fight in the State Senate to restore
funding for higher education. Your education is
important to all of us. Best regards.
State Senator Franz S. Leichter
30th S.D.
Clinton's Broken
Promises
To the Editor:
Well, 1993 is here, and we the American people have
anew President, demonstrating the democratic process at
work. I will not gripe and complain, as many have
accused us Republicans of doing, about the obviously
disappointing results of the election, since a majority of
people voted for Clinton (even though voter turnout was
still not spectacular) and the people have expressed their
will. I will instead give the same treatment to our new
President as former Presidents Reagan and Bush got in
their combined twelve year tenure.
First, I have not heard anything about “breaking of
campaign promises” from the “no new taxes” crowd.
These are the same people who savaged Bush for giving
in to pressure from Congressional Democrats to support
the 1990 budget bill, which raised some taxes and fees,
yet today say nothing about Clinton’s broken promises.
Clinton did not “break any promises” he just “changed
his mind," or “based his decisions on faulty
information." To name just a few of these broken
promises:
1. Clinton promised not to forcibly return Haitians
who sought asylum in the U.S. He received much praise
from the Left for his stand on this issue. Now that he is
President, he flip-flopped and now wants to keep
Haitians out.
2. A tax cut for the middle class. This is all well and
good, for I would like to see my taxes cut along the lines
of what Reagan did in his term. But now Clinton and his
Treasury Secretary, Lloyd Bentsen, are looking at
raising energy taxes (like a gasoline tax), and other taxes
and fees. We will see about this promise he is waffling
on.
3. Clinton promised to have all of his Cabinet
positions and other most important offices filled by
Christmas. To his credit, he succeeded. However, he has
over 3,000 positions to fill in his Administration, and has
only completed a few hundred. And liberals were
complaining that Reagan’s staff was too effective and
did things without him knowing about it. At least he has
a staff to deal with various crises. Clinton has to deal
with Somalia, the former Yugoslavia, arms reduction
treaties with the former Soviet Union, just to name a
few. What will Clinton do without a professional staff?
4, With all of the foreign policy problems, he still has
yet to “focus like a laser beam” on the economy.
5. He promised to reduce the power of lobbyists and
insiders in his Administration. He fulfilled his promises
by appointing Ron Brown Commerce Secretary, a man
who, for the right price, will lobby for anyone or
anything; and by tolerating a campaign team that is
comprised of high-powered lobbyists and insiders.
I, for one, do not agree with some people who have
made excuses for Clinton’s waffling, like “he did not
know how bad it was” or “it will take a while to undo 12
years of miserable Republican rule,” Now, the
Democrats have the White House and both houses of
Congress. If they can’t accomplish at least half of
Clinton’s promises, no excuses can be made, and no
“evil Republicans” can be blamed for any policy failure.
The ball is in the Democratic court now.
There are other promises he made, like the one about
the gays in the military, which he is having problems
with. Even members of his own party in Congress do not
support him on this issue, forcing him to wait six
months.
There are other scandals, like the former Attorney-
General designate, Ms. Zoe Baird, who has admitted
hiring illegal aliens to work as household help, and then
avoided paying taxes on their income. For people who
screamed about the honesty and character of Republican
officials, this comes as a surprise. I thought all
Democrats were pure and good. But unfortunately
Commerce Secretary Ron Brown was forced to cancel
his $10,000 a plate “celebration” after it was learned that
it was to be bankrolled by major corporations (see
Broken Promise #5).
There are many others broken promises, and there will
certainly be more. We will make sure that people know
about them. Undoubtedly, there will be letters
denouncing me, saying “how dare you criticize Clinton,
he’s only been in office a short while,” “Everyone
supports Clinton,” or even hysterical charges of racism,
sexism, misogyny, or something leveled at me. Well, if
liberals attacked Reagan and Bush in the same way, let's
see if the Democrats can take a bit of their own
medicine.

No Praise for Hunters
To whom it may concern:
It appears that if one writes longwinded, heavy-handed
and bombastic letters to the ASP for a long enough
period of time it qualifies them for their very one weekly
column; there are enough Hunter Thompson’s in the
world...Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, the ASP shouldn’t be
satisfied with a fraud.

Cold War
Continued from page 12
frustrated youth of Germany
begins looking for someone to
blame. And, “poof,” just like
that the Nazis are back on the
scene, promising to make
immigration a near
impossibility.
The Communists ran a tough
show. Their human rights
violations are well documented
as is their suppression of
individuality. From our point of
view that government’s crimes
were absolutely unacceptable
and completely intolerable.
Although, one must admit,
keeping that nation together
wasn’t easy. The Communists
has to get over one hundred
ethnic groups to live together
without killing each other. I
mean, the race relations problem
in our country are negligible
when compared to those of the
former Soviet Union. And so,
the Soviets took no shit and
were able to force all of their
diverse ethnic groups to put up
with one another. Then came the
reforms, the democratization and
the Coup attempt. The Soviet
Union suddenly lacked
centralization. It lacked strength.
It could no longer suppress long
standing ethnic tensions within
its own sphere of influence. The
point I’m trying to make here is
that Yugoslavia was part of that
sphere. It's a neighboring nation
and until recently, a Communist
one. It didn’t take long until the
Serbs were gunning down
Moslems left and right. This
never would have happened had
there been a strong government
in Moscow. True, these groups
would have been beaten down,
but that’s better than being
riddled with bullets.
Now, here’s the big question
on my mind: With all this going
on in Russia, could someone
please tell me where the hell all
of the missiles are? Who’s in
control of one of the largest
nuclear arsenals in the world?
These missiles must be spread
throughout the country. Much
what has broken off into
independent republics. Fantastic!
New republics and an unstable
central governments have
control, or lack of control, of
one of the most significant and
dangerous military commodities
known to man. What if someone
gets irresponsible and holds a
multi-billion dollar, radioactive
garage sale? Think of some of
the potential purchasers of this
product. Every wacko in the
world would be cracking open
their piggie-banks in an attempt
to get their hands on nuclear
technology. This is not a
pleasant thought. We've always
had the comfort of knowing that
the Russians, though our
adversaries, were still fairly
reasonable. The potential buyers
that would come forth if this

So, what have we done? Well,
in under a decade we’ve helped,
through economic pressure and
escalation of the arms race, to
take an unfriendly nation that

turn it into a disorganized mess

nation that has ever been in the
history of humankind. There are
several doubts concerning the
future of our great nation, and
the legacy we the people will
leave for posterity. How can we
change direction to best suit the
needs of all people in our

Cuomo
Continued from front page
asked. “The governor and the
Legislature will have to make
that choice.”
Two liberal state lawmakers,
Sen. Franz Leichter and
Assemblyman Edward Sullivan,
followed with a report tracking
education and prison spending.
Their report said New York
was ranked 24th among the
States in per capita spending and
higher education when Cuomo
took office and steadily
improved to eighth place in
1987-88. Since then, the state
has slipped to 34th place.
During the same period, prison
population has exploded. The
number of inmates has jumped
from 28,499 in January 1983 to
62,925 in January of this year,
according to the state
Department of Correctional
Services.
None of the statistics are news
to state Assemblyman Arthur
Eve, who walks around the
Capitol with a button saying,
“Invest in Kids” on his lapel.
He’s worn it every working
day since a grassroots group
devoted to improving schools in
his inner city Buffalo district
was formed several years ago,
he said.
“The whole philosophy of
building prisons to take care of
social ills is not the way to do
it,” Eve said. ““We have to start
at the preventive stage and
that’s working with people from
birth.”
In his latest budget proposal,
Cuomo manages to comfort and
distress people like Eve. The
governor calls for expanding a
State program that concentrates
social service efforts in
impoverished areas and
adjusting the state school aid
formula to send more money to
Poor areas.
Yet he’s also calling for a $130
million reduction in state aid to
local schools and cutbacks that
will mean less financial aid for
freshmen entering college next
fall.
Cuomo has been on a crusade
about education spending,
questioning whether too much
money is going into
administrators’ pockets. He
points out that state school aid
nearly doubled from $4.6 billion
in 1992 to $9.1 billion in 1990,
before dropping back to about
$8.5 billion.
He said he doesn’t understand
the logic of critics who tie his
education policies to prison
spending.
Cuomo said he has to spend
the money where it’s most
needed. With the epidemic of
crack use spawning a more
violent society during the mid-
1980s, he was forced to react
and build prisons.
Eve believes that more should
have been done to treat crack
addicts instead of imprison
them. He said a proposal to keep
non-violent second felony
offenders out of prison, which
Cuomo has only recently
embraced, should have been
pressed more vigorously at the
beginning of the crack yeas, not
the end.
An official with the
Commission on Independent
Colleges and Universities, a
private lobbying group, said the
prison versus education
spending argument has become
a cliché.
Paul Brown, vice president of
the commission, prefers to
appeal to Cuomo’s economic-
development instincts and argue
that New York needs a well-
educated work force to succeed
in the next century.
“The fact of the matter is the
governor has to deal with both
realities,” Brown said. “He is
not choosing to build a prison
system over education ... He’s
confronting a reality that was
presented to him.
“It’s easy, but I don’t think it’s a
helpful argument,” Brown said.

“The conditions in the

April 29,”’ said Ed Turley,
director of field operations for
Community Youth Gang
Services, a community group
dedicated to ending violence.
“Because (the officers) have
already been acquitted, we've
seen how justice worked,”
Turley said. “We don’t have
any reason to believe it’s going
to be any different now.”

President Clinton stands strong for gays
Despite Congressional objections Clinton fights for civil rights
Washington, D.C.
By Ron Fournier
(AP) President Clinton said
Thursday he remained
committed to suspending the ban
on homosexuals in the military
and was ~’pretty close” to
resolving congressional
objections to his interim plan.
Aides worked feverishly to mute
Opposition from Congress and
the Pentagon. Whatever their
Sexual orientation, Clinton said,
“Americans who are willing to
conform to requirements of
conduct in the militarv service,
in my judgment, should be able
to serve in the military.’ The
President postponed for a second
Straight day an expected
announcement of action.
Republicans pressed him not to
take any immediate action and
said they would try to stop him if
he went ahead. “Take a timeout
for six months,”’ Senate Minority
Leader Bob Dole said. Clinton
Said there was “an enormous
amount of agreement” on ending
Anaheim, Calif.
(AP) The folks at Disneyland
won't be upset if their biggest
new attraction in 20 years turns
out to be a big pie in the face.
After all, it’s Toontown.
Nearly two years in the making,
the 3-acre cartoon community
opens Tuesday with all the
subtlety of a whoopee cushion.
“Everything is a gag,” said
Dave Burkhart, the park’s
Senior show producer.
Inspired by Robert Zemeckis’
1988 movie “Who Framed
Roger Rabbit?” Toontown
offers a hands-on tour without
the movie's sinister surrealism.
“You are the cartoon
character,” Burkhart said. “You
et to participate in all those
clichés.”
Wise-guy mailboxes talk
back. Goofy’s watermelons
Squirt water. What happens
when you push: that TNT
plunger? Oops, there goes the
Fireworks Factory. And look
out for the falling safe! Whew,
that was close.
“You've got to understand
the mythology,” Burkhart
explained during a recent tour.
Mickey Mouse, it turns out,
has been living for years in this
northern corner of Disneyland,
just behind Fantasyland.
Fleeing the Hollywood hubbub,
he set up movie studios in his
barn and talked his friends into
moving here.
So Minnie Mouse lives right
next door. You can lounge in
her living room and eavesdrop
on her answering machine.
There’s cheese in the fridge:
gouda and not-so-gouda.
Minnie left the radio on,
turned to WCKY.
These folks didn’t even hide
Disney's looney
themepark to premiere
the practice of asking military
recruits about their sexual
orientation. He said there was
still disagreement with Congress
and the military over the second
part of his interim plan dealing
with treatment of acknowledged
homosexuals already in the
service. The president gave no
indication of backing away from
his Ultimate goal of lifting the
military’s 50-year-old ban on
homosexuals.
“People should be disqualified
from serving in the military
based on something they do, not
based on who they are,” Clinton
said.
White House communications
director George Stephanopoulos
said the interim order, the first of
the expected two steps, would
come “relatively soon,” perhaps
Friday. It originally had been
expected to be released
Wednesday.
According to White House
expectations, Defense Secretary
Les Aspin would draft an
executive order for Clinton to
the dirty laundry. A plumber’s
plunger washing machine
pounds a load of Mickey’s
three-fingered gloves on his
back porch.
Guests get a tour of Mickey’s
studios, look in on Mickey,
Goofy and Donald Duck in a
projection booth and see clips
of Mickey movies like
“Steamboat Willie.” The
mouse’s makeup for that 1928
classic, you’ll note in the
dressing room, is black and
white, of course.
Restrooms? They’re in
Goofy’s Gas Station, where fish
are swimming in those old-time
gas pumps.
There are rides, including a
cockamamie trolley with a big
windup key. A little roller
coaster opens Tuesday with the
rest of Toontown, but Roger
Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin won’t
‘open until late summer.
Mostly, it’s a place to stroll
and look for surprises.
Executives wouldn’t say how
much the new attraction cost,
although some published
reports put the price tag at $100
million. It’s the biggest
addition at the 37-year-old
theme park since “Bear
Country” (now “Critter
Country”) opened more than 20
years ago.
But they’re quick to add that
the park didn’t increase its
ticket prices (28.75 a day for
adults.)
Toontown’s scale fits the 10-
year-old and under set, but
Burkhart expects to coax some
adult smiles as well. He dived
into a pile of plastic Chip ‘n’
Dale acorns and wheedled a
guest into joining him.
“I’ve got to keep myself
qualified,” he said.
sign formally lifting the ban after
six months. Details would be
worked out by then on how the
military should put the new
policy into effect. The two-step
approach is designed to give the
administration time to solve
potential problems with morale,
recruitment, discipline and
conduct.
Clinton said the Joint Chiefs
of Staff agree that recruits should
no longer be asked about their
sexual orientation, Finding
another point of agreement with
the military, which fears
promiscuity and resulting morale
problems, he said, I agree that
any sort of improper conduct
should result in severance.”
Under Clinton’s interim order,
cases based on sexual conduct
would proceed because they
involve violations of the military
code of justice.
“It’s the technicality of dotting
the i’ and crossing the t’ on
mustering out,” said Sen. J.
James Exon, D-Neb., a senior
member of the Senate Armed

possessions should be stored out of sight or taken
home. All the windows and doors should be
locked and double checked before students leave
for any break. The Council also encourages
students to take home or lock up bicycles and
unplug all electric appliances.
Officer Tom Kilcullen, a Crime Prevention
Officer at UPD, said if students are receiving mail
to their off campus apartments, they should stop
the mail from the post office before they leave.
Kilcullen said students should get inexpensive
light timers “to give the appearance that someone
is there,” and timers on radios is also a good idea.
In the residential halls, Kilcullen said it is
important to designate one person to make sure
that the dorm and suite doors are locked before
Services Committee. The
problem, said one congressional
source who refused asked not to
be identified, is how to deal with
avowed homosexuals if the ban
is overturned after six months.
The administration was
working with Democratic leaders
to block Republican plans for an
early cote on preserving the ban.
An intense effort was under way
to win the support of Sen. Sam
Nunn, D- Ga., the influential
chairman of the Armed Services
Committee and an opponent of
lifting the ban immediately.
Dole and two other key
Republicans said at a news
conference that they would not
attach an amendment codifying
the can to lefislation if Clinton
abandons his plans for an interim
change in policy.
If the president makes any
change, the Republicans would
carry through with their
legislative attack, they said.
“We will not wait if the
president does not wait,” said
Sen. Strom Thurmond of South

Carolina, the ranking Republican
on the Armed Services
Committee.
“You can’t avoid every
legislative battle,”
Stephanopoulos said. “There are
issues of deep disagreement.
This is one of the issues where
there is deep disagreement. You
try to work through that as best
you can and come up with the
smartest and wisest decision.”
Republican Sens. Phil Gramm
of Texas and Trent Lott of
Mississippi urged Clinton in a
letter to remove the “gag rule”
on military officials who may
want to speak out against lifting
the ban.
Aspin said the six-month
period was designed to give
Congress time to hold hearings
on issues involving gays in the
militay.
He noted that the temporary
ban could be overturned by
Congress if a consensus is not
reached in the interim.
UPD makes routine patrols around the quads
during the student breaks to make sure that no
intrusions have occurred, Kilcullen said, but since
they can only patrol the outside of the quad,
students need to make sure all their windows are
locked and the curtains are left oner

Telethon raises big bucks
By RacneL DETEso
Editorial Assistant
A telethon held Sunday by
the Center for the Disabled
raised $1,120,227 for disabled
people in the Capital District.
This year’s total reflected a
nine percent increase over last
year’s total, said Anne
Schneider Costigan,
Administrative Vice President
for the Center. “The
community supported the
telethon tremendously this
year,” Schneider Costigan said.
The money raised by the
telethon will be used locally,
Schneider Costigan said, and
will be used “to continue to
provide services to 11,000
disabled individuals in fourteen
counties.”
Among the’ services the
Center provides are educational
programs for all ages,
therapeutic services medical
and dental services, and
vocational training services,
said Schneider Costigan. The
Center also operated 9
residences in the area, and will
be adding 4 new residences by
June, said Schneider Costigan.
Schneider Costigan said an
estimated 1,000 people use the
Center’s services everyday in
any of the 16 different sites
throughout the community.

Reeves moves in as new Giants head coach
East Rutherford, N.J.
By Tom CANAVAN
(AP) - Dan Reeves didn’t take
long to find a defensive
coordinator.
This new coach of the New
York Giants started filling out
his coaching staff Wednesday by
selecting former Denver
assistant Mike Nolan to rebuild
a defense that gave up 367
points last season.
The appointment came a day
after Reeves was named Giants
head coach and it forced new
Southern Cal coach John
Robinson to juggle his staff.
Nolan, the Broncos linebacker
coach under Reeves, joined the
Trojans staff on Jan. 8, about 10
days after Reeves was fired in
Denver.
But when Reeves got the
Giants’ job, he went after Nolan.
“When I hired him, I told
Mike that if he came to USC,
great things would happen to
him,” Robinson said. “Both of
us were surprised it happened so
fast.”
Don Lindsey, who was hired
as Southern Cal’s offensive
coordinator and quarterbacks
coach, will replace Nolan as
defensive coordinator and
linebackers coach, Robinson
said.
Robinson hopes to name a
new offensive coordinator-
quarterback coach soon.
Reeves said he would make
more appointments over the next
few days.
Giants spokesman Ed Croke
said Reeves spent most of
Wednesday interviewing the
remaining members of the
Giants staff.
Offensive coordinator Jim
Fassel, linebackers coach Dave
Brazil, defensive backs coach
Fred Bruney, tight ends coach
Dick Rehbein, defensive
coordinator Rod Rust, receivers
coach George Sefcik and
defensive assistant Bobby Trott
remained with the Giants after
Ray Handley was fired.
It’s now up to Reeves to
determine whether he wants to
retain them.
“I’ve been talking to all the
coaches that were here on the
staff and have not quite finished
that yet,” Reeves said in a
conference call with writers at
the Super Bowl in California.
“I'm trying to put together the
best staff I can and there are
some coaches here that would fit
into that category.”
Five other members of
Handley’s staff joined former
Giants coach and new Patriots
coach Bill Parcells as assistants
in New England earlier this
week.
Reeves said he was
considering changing the Giants
defensive front from a 3-4 toa
4-3, but that decision might
depend on whether Lawrence
Taylor plays next season.
Taylor announced plans to
retire after last season, but he
has been mulling playing again
after missing the latter part of
the season with an Achilles’
tendon injury.
“We have to look at the
personnel we have here,”
Reeves said.
“I think Lawrence Taylor
would be effective anywhere (in
the defensive scheme). You
need to figure out the best way
to get him into the pass rush.
And if Lawrence Taylor is
healthy, you might stay with a
three-man front.”
The Giants defense gave up
367 points last season, third
worst in the league.
“They had some injury
problems,” Reeves said. “I
don’t think that they played as
hard as they could all the time,
for whatever reason, whether
because some people were hurt.”
Reeves said he hoped to fix
some of defensive weaknesses
via free agency.
Young wins the NFL Player of the Year Award
Los Angeles
By Hat Bock
(AP)-Steve Young, who needed no more contract
ammunition after his big season, got some anyway
Wednesday when he won the NFL player of the year
award.
Young, the first quarterback in league history to post
100-plus point ratings in consecutive seasons, led the
league in passing in the final year of his contract with the
San Francisco 49ers.
He took the 49ers to the NFC Western Division
championship with a 14-2 record, passing for 3,465
yards and 25 touchdowns. Young is likely to be
designated the club’s “franchise player” to keep him
from free agency under the new collective bargaining
agreement.
The quarterback, who already had won the NFL’s
MVP award earlier this month, beat Dallas Cowboys’
Emmitt Smith, Pittsburgh Steelers’ Barry Foster, Green
Bay Packers’ Sterling Sharpe, San Diego Chargers’
Junior Seau and Seattle Seahawks’ Cortez Kennedy in
player of the year balloting by a media panel.
The award was the second piece of good news for
Young this week. Earlier, he learned that offensive
coordinator Mike Shanahan had turned down the Denver
Broncos coaching job to remain in Sac Francisco.
“He told me all along it might happen and I’m glad it
didn’t,” Young said. “He did a great job. He has a Phd
in footballtology. I learned more this year than any year
I’ve played. I’m excited that he’s staying.”
Young said he viewed Wednesday’s award as small
consolation for not playing this week. The 49ers were
beaten in the NFC championship game by Dallas.
As for the Super bowl, he said, “My head says Dallas
but my heart says Buffalo. It would be hard for the Bills
to walk away from here a three-time loser.”
The player of the year award includes a $25,000
contribution to the winner’s favorite charity. Young
designated the Mayor’s Youth Fund of San Francisco
and the YMCA of Santa Clara to share the award.
Contributions of $5,000 each also went to the favorite
charities of the five other finalists, and $70,000 was
donated in the name of each of the 28 NFL teams.
Recipients included the Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation
for Smith; United Negro College Fund, for Foster;
Wilson Chapel & Missionary Baptist Church, for
Kennedy, and the Junior Seau Foundation.

Hearney
Continued from back page
The Danes, intent all year on gaining a
NCAA bid, had to settle for a fourth
straight ECAC Tournament invitation, but
not without feelings of disappointment.
“We were definitely upset,” Hearney
recounted. “Our goal, especially for the
seniors, was to get into the NCAA's.”
“We were on the verge of the NCAA's
every year,” he continued. “The seniors
helped build a winning tradition.”
Albany took its bitter disappointment
and used it constructively, mowing down
Ithaca and exacting its revenge over
Binghamton to win the ECAC title.
Muller took the Most Valuable Player
Award.
“We came back against Binghamton,”
Pfeil said. “And we did it with only one
senior (Muller).”
“The Binghamton game impresses me
more than anything,” Hearney shined.
“We made the best of our opportunity. It
says a lot about next year’s group.”
Hearney’s future plans include playing
in men’s leagues back in the area of his
hometown of Hauppauge, Long Island.
He hopes to end up coaching soccer one
day.
“Marty will be a very difficult person to
replace,” Pfeil said. “He brought a focus
to the team, he was a second coach on the
field.”
Paul O’Looney and Paul Feeny will
have Hearney’s and Muller’s shoes to fill
come next season. They will lead an
Albany team that looks to be extremely
Strong with a mix of young talent and
experienced players.
But, for now, Hearney will look back on
his years at Albany with pride.
“I’ve been very fortunate,” he said.
“My closest friends have been the guys
I’ve played with. We established a
winning program together.”
Turrin
Continued from back page
Dane senior quarteback Jaan Laap
topped the ECAC Upstate region in
passing efficiency and completion
percentage while Albany’s backs
combined for more then 150 yards per
game.
Much of this is due to the work of
Turrin and his fellow linemen.
“If one offensive lineman wins this
award its a fact that the whole line did
well,” Turrin said.
“It is always great when one of our
players gets recognition,” Zaloom said.
“The perfect definition for team is
offensive line,” Zaloom added. “There is
no glory at that position so recognition is
nice. I think this award is representative of
the whole crew performing well.”
The Danes finished at 6-4 for the
season. Three of Albany’s losses came
against teams who reached the playoffs
(Cortland State, Springfield College, a
Division II school, and Ithaca).
Turrin, a history major at Albany, hails
from Yorktown Heights, where he
attended Somers High School.
Did you ever stop
and take a
moment to think
about what a great
band Rush is.
Maybe if you did
you might expand
your horizons.....

tough Division
By Epwit. FONTANILLA

This past weekend, the men’s indoor track
team competed against four Division I schools
jat Cornell University.
The other three participating schools were
University of Pennsylvania, Villanova
University, and Fordham University.
“This meet gave our team a Chance to
compete against high level teams,” Albany
coach Roberto Vives said.
“The team rose to the challenge,” Vives
ladded. “They weren’t intimidated by their
Division I opponents.”
Sophomore Oscar Almandarez, junior
Howard Sellers, and transfer student Jay Nixon
were among the top finishers at the meet.
Almendarez won the triple jump with a jump
of 45°, 7”. Sellers placed second in the 400m
dash with a time of 49.63. Nixon pole vaulted
15’, 1” to earn third place.
Junior Bill Vanos earned fifth place in the
3000m with a time of 8:49:60. Sophomore
Shawn Condell’s time of 7.74 in the 55m high
hurdles won him third while sophomore Keith
Liburd took fifth in the 55m dash.
Marshall Mannese and David Abraham were
freshman standouts. Mannese placed fourth in

According to Vives the team’s current record
of 1-5 is not indicative of the team’s abilities.
“We've been competing against Division I

This past weekend, while the rest
of us were adjusting to the start of
classes, coach Ron White and his
women’s track team were off
competing in the Tufts Indoor
Track Invitational.
While the team did not place that
high in the overall standings, there
lwere some impressive early season
performances, and two new school
records were set.
One of the standout performances
in the meet was put on by Bonnie
Boyette. Her jump of 34’, 11 1/4”
shattered the six-year old school
record by almost seven inches. The
|jump was also good enough to
garner her a fifth place finish and
qualify her for the ECAC’s later
this spring.
“Bonnie’s really making herself
known,” White commented, “I
think she has a good chance to
qualify for the Nationals.”
Boyette was not the only one to
make the ECAC's and set a school
record, as Mary Walminski’s 35’, 6
3/4” effort in the 20 lb. weight
throw did both and helped her
finish seventh in the event.
Walminski also had a 29”, 10”
throw in the shot put. Lynn
Ne ee finished with a throw of
24’ 9”.
In the long jump, Albany entered
five athletes: Boyette (14’, 6 3/4”),
(Cathy Healy (14 ,1 1/4”), Liz
Henning (13’, 6”), Cathy Cruz (13’
|, 4”), and Ewa Liszkiewicz (12’ , 6
1/4”).
Healy and Boyette returned in the
high jump, posting jumps of 4’, 5”
and 4’, 7”, respectively.
It was a busy day for Boyette as
she also ran in the 200 meter dash,
finishing in a time of 29.8 seconds.
(Corinna McEwen and Kristen Klein
also competed in this event for the
Danes.
Running in the 400 meters for
Albany was Liszkiewicz (67.6),
INiki McLeod (68.7) and Gretchen
Kennedy.
McLeod, Liszkiewcez, Henning
Several surprises in
women's track
and Natalie Baptiste combined for
a run of 1:58.1 in the 4x200 meter
relay, while the team of Baptiste,
Kennedy, Henning and McLeod
posted a time of 4:42.1 in the
4x400 meter relay.
In the distance events, Rebecca
Popp ran the 1500 meters in
5:25.9; Bernadette Caban also
competed in this event.
McEwen ran a time of 8.7
seconds in the 50 meter hurdles,
while Baptiste had a no-time due
to the fact that her starting block
slipped when she began the race.
The order of finish for the meet
was Boston College (150 pts.),
UMass at Lowell (123), Tufts (84),
Springfield (78), Holy Cross (61),
Williams (56), Brandeis (31),
Worchester St. (250), Smith (15),
Montclair St., (14), Fitchburg (12),
Westfield (12), WPI (8), Albany
(6), Bates (4), Stonehill (2), and
Rhode Island (0).
The previous weekend, the team
had traveled to Colgate University
to compete in a five-way meet
with Colgate, Bucknell, Columbia
and Lafayette. Again, while the
scores were not so high, the
performances were inspired.
Laura Somes placed fourth in
the 55 meter hurdles in 9.10, while
Liszkiewez placed fifth in the 400
meters with a time of 67.11.
Walminski also had a fifth place
finish with a throw of 30’, 3/4” in
the shot put. She also just missed
placing in the top five with her
throw of 34’, 6” in the 20 Ib.
weight throw.
Final team scores were Bucknell

Next on the women’s track
calendar is the Capital District

will be the first track and field
meet held in the new Recreation

Grapplers ranked fifth in NCAA Division Ill poll
Ithaca will be gunning for revenge in tonight's rematch
By ToM MURNANE
Senior Editor
You would think that Albany’s fifth-
place ranking last week by the NCAA
Div II wrestling poll would have coach
Joe DeMeo doing cartwheels on the mat.
Instead, it’s left him a little mad as his
team gets ready to rumble tonight in the
Gym with the nation’s sixth-ranked Ithaca
Bombers, a match DeMeo calls “one of
the big ones.”
It’s not that the coach of the team that
has produced two Olympians (asst.
coaches Andy Seras and Shawn Sheldon),
36 All-Americans and who guided
heavyweight Jeff Blatnick to a gold
medal in the 1984 Olympics isn’t happy;
he’s pleased by his team’s performance,
but said Thursday he thought the Danes
should have been ranked higher.
Albany (8-2) jumped six places in the
standings by outduelling Ithaca (6-6) last
week, earning them third place at the
Division III National Dual Wrestling
Championships at SUNY Cortland’s Park
Center. University of Wisconsin’s Eagles
took first by outpointing Cortland 24-12.
“We should have been ranked third by
those guys (the polling committee),”
DeMeo said “Take a look at (No.1)
Augsburg College (MN) and (No. 2)
Wartburg College (IA)...they weren’t
even there at there at the tournament and
they still got ranked higher.”
“Tt’s because three of the guys (on the
polling panel) are from their region so
they’re gonna go with those guys, but we

deserved to be ranked third, not fifth,” he
explained,
Ithaca’s coach John Murray disagreed
with DeMeo.
“T don’t know what they did, but I think
if you’re gonna do a ranking, you want to
see the best teams up there, and I think
they deserved it.”
Albany was ranked behind Cortland
State (4) and the University of Wisconsin-
LaCrosse (3).
“In reality, we’re a Division I team,”
DeMeo said. “If you look at any major
university in the country, they’re all
Division I. That’s just the way it is.
Psychologically, people believe Division I
teams are better.
“If you were to ask any five people
around the country right now, ‘Who’s
better, the (Division III) Albany or
(Division I) Ohio State?’ I'll bet every
time they'll say Ohio, just because they’re
in Div. I...but what they don’t know is
we’ve got a better program than they do.
Around the country Albany doesn’t get
the respect it should.”
DeMeo said his team should be in top
form for tonight’s return battle against
Ithaca, who they beat despite hitting the
mat without two of their big guns, Steve
Mitola (118) and Ray Adams (142).
“The thing is, they were also without
two of their good guys,” he said. “I think
they’re going to have both of them
back...this is going to be a great match, a
great competition,” he said.
One match to keep an eye on is a
grudge match in the heavyweight
division. Last week, Albany’s Allan
Gordon decisioned the Bombers’ Steve
Farr 2-1 in sudden death overtime. But
Farr, a defending state champion, is never
an easy match and he’ll be gunning for
revenge against Gordon.
“Their whole team is tough as
hell...what a match it’s gonna be,” DeMeo
said. He indicated the Bombers’ record
was deceptive, a pereception Murray
agreed with, saying his team had to go up
against eight Diy. I teams this season.
“Joe’s got a nice team...1 hope the
people who come out to see the match
have a good time.”
Tonight's match is at 7:00 pm.

Back in December, Dane
offensive lineman Scott Turrin, a
junior, was recognized for his
efforts as he was selected to the
Kodak All-American Team
(NCAA Division III and NAIA
Division II schools) by the
American Football Coaches
Association.
This came as no suprise to his
teammates, who named the 6’5”,

coaches twice selected him
“Offensive Linemen of the
Week.”
“T am proud of all the guys and
it is nice that Scott was singled
out,” Albany offensive
coordinator Ed Zaloom said.
“It’s a reflection of how well
the offensive line played this
year," senior offensive limeman
Cliff May said. “Zaloom Teally
did a great job getting us ready.”
Turrin gave credit to Zaloom.
“Coach worked so hard and gave
so much of his time and effort,”
Turrin said. “He was a major
factor in me getting this award.”
In the Great Danes 1992 player
profiles, head coach Bob Ford
was almost prophetic with his
description of Turrin.
“We believe Scott will
signifigantly contribute to our
offense this year,” Ford said at
the time. He was right on with his
analysis.

For the past four years,
Marty Hearney has been an
integral part of the University
at Albany men’s soccer
program that has been on the
Precipice of national
prominence in Division III.
Last December 16th,
Hearney was honored by
being named a Division III
Third Team All-American by
the National Soccer Coaches
Association of America. This
honor capped a year which
saw Hearney named to the
New York State First Team,
and a career which can be
remembered as one of the best
in Albany history.
"I was very surprised,”
Hearney said about being All-
American. “I didn’t play in
the post season and being
selected depends a lot on the
post season.”
Indeed, Hearney’s season
broke his shin in a regular
season-ending 3-0 loss to
Cortland State. But his team
leadership along with fellow
senior co-captain Billy
“Crusher” Muller, combined
with his 11 goals and five
assists on the year, helped the
Danes come painstakingly
close to an NCAA
Tournament bid.
“Marty and Crusher are the
finest captains I’ve had in my
22-year coaching career,”
Albany head coach Roy Pfeil
beamed. “They not only were
good players, they had the
respect of the team.”
As it turned out, after going
11-0-2 in the season’s first 13
games, the Danes lost
successive games to Hobart
College (ranked first
nationally in Division II at
the time), Binghamton State,
and Cortland to end the
campaign.
