Sa President James Lamb ask-
ed the SA Supreme Court for a
declaratory judgement and in-
junction after Central Council
voted to override Lamb’s veto of
the bill last Saturday in an
emergency session, Lamb raised
the question of the amount of
votes needed to override a veto.

SA policy states that “All
referenda must be placed on the
ballot by a two-thirds vote of
Central Council.’”” At the
emergency meeting there were 14
votes in favor, with six against.
Council felt this was binding with
two-thirds of those members pre-
sent voting in favor.

But the court called for an in-
junction on this decesion, saying
that the decision was
unconstitutional.

The injunction draws further
controversy about the issue due to
different interpretations of the
wording of the judgement by the
court.

Lamb, in his letter to the
judicial branch called for an in-
junction preventing the bill for
the referendum “‘from becoming
law.””

The Supreme Court said in
their decision that ‘We..do
hereby grant the injunction
sought,”’*by Lamb.

This raises the question of
whether the bill would ever be
able to become law. Newly ap-
pointed Chief Justice Al Malena
said, “their passage of the bill was
invalid last Saturday...(but) it
would not be invalid if they got
the necessary votes needed.” This
would require 20 of the 30 votes
on Council.

Lamb felt this was incorrect,
implying that the injunction
would prevent the referendum
from being placed on the ballot.
But he added that he would not
question the decesion at this time
respecting the courts decision.

Thompson said that ‘‘you can’t

the Council to override Lamb’s
veto.

Assembly aims to save
SUNY from budget axe

By Morgan Lyle
NEWS EDITOR

The state Legislature is working
to restore some of the cuts to
SUNY and the City University of
New York (CUNY) in Gov.
Mario Cuomo’s proposed budget
for 1989. :

The New York Daily news
reported yesterday that the
Democratically controlled State
Assembly has proposed restoring
$60 million to the two university
systems. Assemblyman Ed
Sullivan (D-New York) would not
confirm that figure, saying that
negotiations are continuing, but
did say that restoration of funds
is a priority.

“We're restoring substantial
amounts of money to SUNY and
CUNY,” Sullivan said.

But a spokesman for Cuomo
said that funding for SUNY and
CUNY should take a back seat to
funding for other concerns, such
as AIDS, homelessness, and drug
abuse.

“T would guess that SUNY
themselves feel that people with
AIDS, people without a home,
and people without money to buy
food, would take priority,’ said
Cuomo spokesman Tom Conroy.

Cuomo and the Legislature are
deadlocked in negotiating the
budget, which was due April 1,
the start of the fiscal year. the
Legislature has passed emergency
spending measures which will
allow payment of bills, such as
paychecks for state employees
and Medicaid payments.

the state to spend $900 million
more in 1989 than it did in 1988.
The Legislature is trying to raise
$300 million more than that, but
the total increase would still be at
or below the inflation rate.
Cuomo has said that he will allow
the state to increase spending by
no more than the amount of infla-
tion, which is estimated to be 5.1
percent.

Cuomo’s budget proposed giv-
ing SUNY $47 million less than it
had requested to maintain opera-
tions at current levels. That cut
comes on top of $13 million in
cuts absorbed in the past year.
SUNY officials have said the cut
would eliminate hundreds of jobs
and thousands of courses state-
wide, The threat of cuts has also
led SUNY Chancellor D. Bruce
Johnstone and some Trustees to
advocate a tuition increase to off-
set the damage.

Skip Carrier, speaking for
Assembly Speaker Mel Miller (D-
Brooklyn), said giving SUNY
more than Cuomo proposed ‘‘is a
priority for us.”

Sullivan, who has been an
outspoken supporter of SUNY
and CUNY said funds to SUNY
should be restored, by using new
taxes if necessary.

“The people of the state, I am
convinced, want us to restore the
cuts, and to do that, we have to
Taise taxes,”’ Sullivan said. He ad-
ded that the public would support
taxes for that puropose.

He also said that Cuomo ‘‘ex-

Botha to retire

Johannesburg, South Africa

(AP) President P.W. Botha, South
Africa’s strong-willed leader since 1978,
on Thursday announced his intention to
retire after elections to be held by
September.

His party had made clear it wanted a
new president.

Botha, whose grip on power began to
loosen after a stroke in January, told
Parliament that an early general election
will be held on an unspecified date within
the next five months.

Botha,.73, did not state explicitly that he
would retire, but he said the outgoing
president would hand over the official seal
to a new president following the elections.

The new president is expected to be
Education Minister F.W. de Klerk, who
succeeded Botha as leader of National Par-
ty on Feb. 2. Many Nationalists view de
Klerk as more flexible than Botha and
more capable of breaking the country’s
black-white political stalemate.

Prisoners to be freed

Jerusalem

(AP) Israeli officials said they will
release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners
on Wednesday and ease restriction in the
occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip for
the Moslem holy month of Ramadan.

The announcement on Tuesday came on
the eve of Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir’s visit to Washington.

An army official, speaking on condition
of anonymity, confirmed an Israel televi-
sion report that the detainees will be releas-
ed Wednesday, but did not elaborate.
Israel TV said it was a good-will gesture
before Ramadan, which begins Friday.

In the occupied lands, 10 Palestinians
were reported shot and wounded Tuesday
in clashes between soldiers and stone-
throwing Palestinian protesters.

In Tel Aviv, dozens of reserve soldiers
and officers demonstrated in front of the
Defense Ministry, demanding that Israel
end military government in the occupied
lands and that talks between Israel and
Palestinians begin at once.

The goal is to make the weekend a turn-

Organizers feel that anti-abortion ad-

focusing the question on when life begins.

Instead, they feel the issue is whether the,

Budget woes continue

Albany, NY

(AP) The cold war between Goy. Mario

Cuomo and the Legislature over the late

state budget continued Thursday as the

governor said the tardy spending plan was
costing New York $1.25 milion a day.

Cuomo also said that school districts

were losing $425,000 a day because the
first state aid payment, due April 17, can’t
be made on time.

The $1.25 million loss is based on the $1
billion in new taxes and fees that Cuomo
proposed in an attempt to balance his
$46.6 billion budget for the fiscal year that

| began April 1. According to a Cuomo

aide, some of that lost potential revenue
could be recovered.

The new state budget was due on Satur-
day, when the 1989-90 fiscal year began.
But Cuomo and the Legislature have been
stuck over how much taxes and fees should
be raised and where that money should be
spent.

Shoreham deal closer

Albany, NY

(AP) Gov. Mario Cuomo’s proposed
deal to close Long Island’s Shoreham
nuclear power plant edged forward Thurs-
day with the state Senate’s approval of two
Cuomo nominees to the New York Power
Authority.

The appointment of State Energy Com-
missioner William Cotter and Long Island
businessman Robert Waldbauer to the
power authority was considered essential
to the Shoreham-closing deal, which has to
be approved by the authority.

The action by the Republican-controlled
Senate represented the only chance the
state Legislature had to kill the agreement.

Under the agreement worked out earlier
this year between Cuomo and officials of
the Long Island Lighting Company, the
state would buy the completed, $5.4 billion
plant for $1 and have it dismantled.

In return, LILCO’s higher electric rates,
approved Wednesday by the state Public
Service Commission, would give it a shot
at regaining the financial stability it lost in
recent years because of the burdens impos-
ed on it by the ill-fated Shoreham project.

UFW calls for grape boycott

By Raffi Varoujian
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

As part of a national boycott campaign of table
grapes, Art Rodriguez, Vice President of United
Farm Workers (UFW), lectured a group of approx-
imately 30 students Thursday night in lecture center
M1.

The event was organized with the help of Fuerza
Latina President George Serrano and United
University Professors representative Professor.
Lawrence Wittner, who is a member at SUNYA.

The focus of Rodriguez’ hour-long presentation
was the use of pesticides and what he called the
violation of labor rights of farm workers who, in
many cases, are unknowingly exposed to
agricultural toxins.

Rodriguez emphisized that the agribusiness
giants, among whom are J.G. Boswell, Tenaco Oil,
Ernest and Julio Gallo, etc., have created strong
lobby groups that keep farm workers organizing in-
to effective unions. “These giants are able to exert
tremendous economical and political power, and
have controlled legislation regarding the type of
chemicals used,” Rodriguez said.

Five of the insecticides that are used in the table
grape industry are proven carcinogens. The five
toxins, Captan, Methyl Bromide, Parathion,
Phosdrin and Dinoseb, are the focus of concern for
the UFW, consumers and environmentalists alike.

According to a videotape titled, ‘Wrath of
Grapes’’ shown by Rodriguez, in 1985, California
Governor George Deukmejian vetoed a bill which
would have required fields sprayed with pesticides
to carry signs warning workers of possible danger.
However, workers were and still are never warned
that toxins are used on fields that they work in,
Rodriguez said. In 1984, 300 million pounds of in-
secticides were used in California alone, a third of
which were proven carcinogens. Only a small por-
tion of the insecticides actually reach their intended
target, while the majority of the toxins are scattered
into the environment and have been known to seep
into underground water supplies, Rodriguez said.

As a result, communities that are surrounded by
the vineyards are experiencing an alarmingly high
rate of cancer. In Fowler, a town of 3,000, six
children have developed cancer. In the community
of McFarland, 11 children have contracted cancer
in a six block radius, six of whom have already

Art Rodriguez, vice president of the United Farm workers lectures about the use of pesticides

died, Rodriguez said.

Also, workers who expose themselves to the
pesticides during pregnancy experience extraor-
dinarily high frequencies of birth defects. The toxin
problem was described as a ‘chemical time bomb”’
threatening to poison workers, consumers and the
environment.

Rodriguez went on to discuss the positive effects
that former boycotts initiated by Cesar Chavez,
president of the UFW, have had in the past.
Rodriguez stated that New York is the prime con-
sumer of California table grapes and that in 1988,
grape consumption in this state decreased by 22 per-
cent, an effect directly attributable to the boycott.
“‘All types of grapes grown, purple, red and green,
through the months of May - December are Califor-
nia table grapes. No other types are sold in those
months. So, if anyone tells you otherwise, they’re
lying”’ Rodriguez said.

However, Rodriguez said that due to the types of
chemicals used, the wine and pesticides and
chemicals used in the grape industry are mainly
utilized for cosmetic purposes, reguarding the size
and the look of grapes. Wine grapes are immediate-
ly processed, so that their cosmetic value, and
therefore the pesticides are not of consequence,
Rodriguez said.

The UFW is currently in the process of staging its
third major boycott.

Rodriguez stressed that the agribusiness giants
have always enjoyed a dominance over their
workers, partly due to racial reasons, and partly
due to the availability of cheap labor. ‘‘Of five
million workers, only 30,000 have been organized
into cohesive unions” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez concluded by saying ‘‘The fight for
the elimination of pesticides and guarrantee of
labor rights lies wholly with the consumer. It is
ironic that while we overproduce food in this na-
tion, the people who harvest it have barely enough
to feed themselves and are being wiped out by these
toxins.””

He also stressed the importance of educating
others about the boycott and promoting consumer
awareness.

George Seranno, president of Fuerza Latina said
“this is something that I feel very personally for
and want to bring to the attention of my group.
This is an issue that affects everyone.’” oO

Trent launches claims
of malicious intent in
delay of SA elections

By lan Wagreich
NEWS EDITOR

Student Association Central
Council Colonial Quad represen-
tative Scott P. Trent approached
the Albany Student Press Thurs-
day, launching accusations about
the executive branch’s decision to
postpone elections due to voting
machines that were vandalized.

Trent called the decision ‘‘cor-
rupt,” saying ‘‘students should
know the option to hold the elec-
tions was possible.”’

Trent accused the executive:
branch of staging ‘‘an intentional

. Ploy to strengthen the campaign

of some candidates who were
deemed more appropriate to some
SA members and weaken the
campaign of some other less
favorable candidates.” He did
not elaborate on the exact effects
this alleged manipulation could
have.

Central Council Chair Shawn

Thompson said “‘it was no secret.

that some of our officials are
throwing their support in some
directions.” Thompson is also a
presidential candidate.

“We did what we felt was the
best for the elections,”’ said SA
Vice President Fern Cohen. “I re-
sent the fact people are suggesting
the people in charge of the elec-
tions are manipulating the elec-
tions in their favor,” Cohen
added.

Trent said he had made it
known that SA could use five
voting machines on Tuesday.

The decision to postpone elec-

tions was made Monday night.
“The elections commissioner
had already spent the night con-
tacting as many candidates as
possible. If we waited any longer
the executive branch would have
been critized for not contacting
the candidates.’’ Cohen said. She
added that the elections were
publicly postponed and SA would
not have time for training
tabulaters and other maintenance
such as setting the machines.

Trent said he has ‘“‘yet to
understand why” elections were
Postponed.

“It’s bogus, he’s ignorant of
the facts. If he paid attention to
the facts he would realize that the
elections date change was legit, as
the Central Council acting chair
had communication with our con-
‘tractor who explained to him all
about the technical difficulty we
were faced with. Scott would have
known this if he had com-
municated properly,’ said SA
President James Lamb. ‘If
anything Scott’s accusations imp-
ly favortisim on his own part and
he should think about that,” said
Lamb.

Trent’s accusations shed light
on the issue of trust that students
at SUNYA place on thier elected
members, ironically in the face of
this year’s upcoming elections.

Cohen commented on this
issue, stating that ‘I was elected
and Melissa (Bower, elections
commissioner) was appointed on
the basis that we would do our
job.” Oo

The Kwame Ture appearance ignites disputes

By Greg Shaub
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Student Jewish groups denounced vice
president for Student Affairs Dr. Mitchel
Livingston and the Department of Public
Safety for what the groups saw as a
negligence of duty at the campus ap-
pearance of Kwame Ture, an outspoken
“violent Jew-hater,’’ according to Chaim:
Feinberg, director of the Shield of David
organization.

Livingston and Public Safety officials
vehemently denied all accusations, asser-
ting their adherance to policy and pro-
cedures relevant to such events.

Jewish groups further strongly express-
ed offense to what they termed the “‘anti-
semitic”’ content of Ture’s speech and ac-
cused Livingston of endorsing Ture’s
views.

Ture attacked American capitalism dur-
ing his appearance and, according to Geof-
frey M. Cohen of the Revisionist Zionist
Alternative, has proclaimed that “Israel
must and will be destroyed,” and called
for bloodshed to achieve equality for the
masses. He also made several comments in
favor of communism throughout his
speech.

Ture claimed that ‘Africans gave
Judaism the world’? and that ‘‘Moses was
an African, and therefore, the first Jew
was an African.’’

Cohen believes the university ad-
ministration was aware of the effects the
speech would have and that they did con-
done it. He believes Livingston was fully
informed of Kwame Ture’s ‘‘violent and
racist agendas,’’ and that he was aware of
the ‘‘anti-semitic outbreaks” which have
occurred as a result of his appearance on
other campuses. It is for these reasons that
he is calling. for an investigation of Liv-
ingston and the ‘‘shocking scandal.”

Befuddled by the accusations, Liv-
ingston said that because he addressed the

ported Ture’s views. Livingston went as
far as to say that he did not subscribe to
Ture or his philosophy, which he called
“nonsense.”

Livingston asserted that he attended the
speech in a purely official capacity and was
responsible for managing the crowd and
event. It was for the purpose of quieting
the potentially riotous crowd that Liy-
ingston took to the podium to ask for
civility from the crowd. He did not praise
Ture but rather praised the university for
the ability to have controversial speakers
without conflict, he said.

Livingston strongly advocates free ex-
pression and opposes the restriction of the
constitution rights for such. He believes
that because a speaker’s views are offen-
sive to many people, that is not justifica-
tion for prohibiting the right to express or
to hear such views.

Fermin Espinosa, president of the
Albany State University Black Alliance
(ASUBA), whose group, along with Pan
Carribean, Fuerza Latina and_ several
greek organizations, sponsored Ture’s ap-

pearance also expressed the belief of
freedom of speech. He said that people
should and do have the right to protest but
should do so in a respectful manner. He
said that he attended the Meir Kahaane
speech, which some considered to be of-
fensive to blacks, and that he protested in
a respectful manner without disrupting the
event.

Cohen also accused Livingston of
preventing 60 protesting students from
entering the ballroom, where the event was
taking place.

Livingston said he did allow the pro-
testers to enter the ballroom and said that
it was Public Safety department officers
who questioned their entry for security
reasons. Livingston however granted them
admission in return for a pledge of
orderliness,

Feinberg, accused Public Safety of
Passively witnessing an assault on a stu-
dent by student security personnel. He
called the student security group “‘in-
timidating” and alleges that they operated
with an “‘illegal hand.’ When one student
was kicked out by the student security,
Feinberg said the student was openly

assaulted while university police “‘stared
into the great beyond.’’

Public safety officers witnessed no
assaults, according to James Williams,
director of Public Safety. The presence of
the student-security group, known as stu-
dent marshalls, is a common practice at
many university events, he said. The use of
them at Ture’s speech was not unique. The
two officers present at the event were there
to keep order and back up the student mar-
shalls, Williams said.

There was no physical abuse, agreed
Livingston. There was only an appropriate
amount of restraint in an attempt to dif-
fuse a potentially dangerous situation, he
said.

The conflict in question took place
directly in front of Livingston. He saw a
“voung man engage in a heated debate
with Kwame Ture right in front of me. He
yelled out chants of ‘Israel’ with his fist
clenched in the air and his face flushed red
with anger.’’ The student marshalls acted
appropriately he said.

Livingston also upheld the use of stu-
dent marshalls as well as administrative
staff and Public Safety as common prac-
tice inUniversity events. Therewereapprox-
imately 20 student marshalls, 10 ad-
ministrators and four to five officers at the
event to keep peace, he said.

Feinberg also quoted Livingston as
“praising Ture’s appearance’? in the
March 23rd issue of Metroland, and claim-
ing that Ture’s ‘“‘groundwork was coming
from a factual analytical base.’? Liv-
ingston said he was ‘‘totally misquoted’’
by Metroland, and that Feinberg took the
quote further out of context. He said he
did not assert the nature of Ture’s ground-
work but rather made an objective assess-
ment that ‘this style appears to be one of
trying to use a factual intellectual base.”

Metroland was unavailable to respond
to the accusation. oO

Establishment of academic standard hashed out

By John Chartier
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

A heated debate broke out at Wednesday night’s Cen-
tral Council meeting over a proposed referendum which,
if passed, would require students seeking an elected posi-
tion in Student Association to be in good academic stan-
ding with the University.

The debate, which occurred prior to the voting down of
a series of ammendments to the referendum, centered
upon an issue brought forth by council member
Genevieve Connor, who asked that a stipulation be added
for students “who have problems with academics, or who
are possibly learning disabled.”’

Connor, who is herself a learning disabled student,
claims that in producing the “2.0 referendum’’ some
crucial aspects were overlooked, namely, learning disabl-
ed students. “I am asking that Central Council look at
the full picture instead of just pieces,” Connor said.

Connor believes that requiring a student to have a 2.0
GPA in order to be eligible to run for an elected position
could hurt someone, especially disabled students, who
fall below that mark because of an excruciating
situation.”

“How can they dismiss a student after only one
semester of under a 2.0? Sometimes a student is on
academic probation because of outside circumstances
such as a family illness,” Connor said.

However, according to council member Belinda
Mason, one of the sponsors of the referendum, there
should be no stipulation for disabled students since they,
as students of this university, are subject to the same re-
quirements as other students.

“Individual students are admitted to this university
under special circumstances. Once they enter the school,
they’re all equal.’’ explained Mason.

“By no means should they be excused from a 2.0 re-
quirement. I am sensitive to the concerns, in this case, of
the learning disabled students. I believe in the learning
disabled students,”’ she continued.

Dean of Undergraduate Studies, Sung Bok Kim, agreed
with Mason in that all students should be subject to the
same requirements regardless of whether or not they are
disabled in any way.

**T think any self respecting (disabled student) would be
insulted if they were given special treatment,”’ Kim said.
“If I was the handicapped person I’d be insulted. It’s a
matter of pride. Rain should fall on everybody. We are all
equal.’’he finished.

As an academic leader, Kim is a firm believer in the 2.0
referendum. ‘Some schools set higher standards.
Students who lead students must provide exemplary
behavior in every area of academic life,” Kim said. ‘“By
and large you’ve got to have something to measure

somebody’s academic standard. We have no better
method than by grades,”’ he continued.

Not everyone agrees with this policy, however. At the
Central Council meeting this was expressed by one
member that number grades aren’t necessarily an ac-
curate measure of a students performance.

Others, including Connor, feel that the Student
Association members are representatives of the student
body, and therefore some of them saying that whether or
not a student has a 2.0 does not necessarily reflect that
student’s capabilities as a leader.

“Some students livelihood is in the SA office. That is
so important that the constituency know that,’ stressed
Connor

Henry Baranczak of the Young Democrats agreed that
education should be ‘‘first and formost”’ but feels that
more should be done for disabled students.

Baranczak says that it is difficult for a disabled person
to admit their situation and that they must work harder
than most students to achieve the same results.

“Because of that awkwardness it’s very hard for them.
They can do just as much as we do. We should really ex-
tend a hand,”’ Baranczak explained. ‘‘It’s a different way
of doing things, it’s not a stigma. If someone is a good

Candidates’ forum

SA elections have been postponed until next Wednes-

day and Thursday, allowing the candidates to be heard in
a forum to be held Monday, April 10 at 8 pmin LC 25.

Candidates for president and vice president will deliver
speeches and the audience will be allowed to -ask
questions.

Running for president as of Thursday are Andy
DiPalma, Bill Keegan, and Shawn Thompson. Vice
presidential candidates are Fermin Espinosa and Jeffrey
Luks.

Bella Abzug to speak

Bella Abzug, a former New York Congresswoman,
peace activist and feminist activist will be appearing at

SUNYA on April 13th to participate in two campus-wide’

events.

The first event will be a symposium on ‘Women and
Public Policy: Issues for the ‘90’s.”’ This event will also
include various members of the SUNYA academic com-
munity who will be speaking on the issue. A time and

place have yet been set.

student leader and is looking out for student welfare and
is growing, they should not be denied,”’ contined
Baranczak.

Baranczak also: felt that revealing a person’s GPA
represents ‘‘a severe breach of a person’s right to
privacy.”

“Instead of looking for standards, SA should be look-
ing for people out for the students. It’s unfair just
because you don’t have a 2.0. I don’t think it’s anyone’s
business what grades they get.’”? Baranczak said. “‘I think
the role of SA should be that of helping students, not
punishing them for their grades,’’ he concluded.

However, SA Affirmative Action Officer Lesley
Massiah holds a different view. She says that any student
who has the ability can run. ‘‘Every student on this cam-
pus has the right to participate in any program or office
that he or she feels they are qualified for,’’ Massiah said.

“However, if SA cannot set an example for all students
they can’t make qualifications, they should not be in if
they cannot maintain a 2.0,” she continued.

Director of Student Development Skip Hudson agrees
with Massiah is that he believe grades to be very impor-
tant. “Establishing basic minimum requirements you

At the second event, Abzug will be speaking on
“Women Shaping Public Policy in the ‘90’s.”” The event
will take place at 3:30 pm in the Campus Center Ballroom
and will be followed by a reception hosted by the Univer-
sity’s Commission for Affirmative Action Woment’s
Concerns Committee.

Both events are being sponsored by the committee and
are free and open to the public. For more information on
the events contact 442-3073. o

Organizers looking forward to Greek Week IV

By Morgan Lyle
NEWS EDITOR

SUNYA’s fourth annual Greek
Week, a series of parties, com-
petitions and community service
events, kicks off Saturday at
noon behind the Campus Center.
Chair William Lee has made ex-
tensive plans and has high hopes.

There will be no shortage of
partying, but the community ser-
vice and public relations events
that the eight teams of fraternities
and sororities will compete in will
show that ‘‘it’s not all beer drink-
ing and wing eating,”’ Lee said.

A venerable tradition at large
schools across the country, Greek
Week at SUNYA is an opportuni-
ty for greeks to build and unify
the young system, and to improve
greeks’ image with the University,

the city of Albany, and with pro-
spective pledges, according to
Lee.

Lee, of Kappa Alpha Sigma,
and co-chairs Bethany Moss, of
Pi Sigma Chi, Meredith Fried-
man, of Alpha Omicron Pi, and
Bobby Sahni, of Sigma Chi, have
been planning the event, which
will cost its sponsors upwards of
$20,000, for weeks, according to
Lee.

He said that much of the credit
for the week’s planning and
preparation goes to the brothers
of Delta Omega Alpha, a peti-
tioning fraternity which is this
year’s candidate to seek recogni-
tion from the Interfraternity
Council (IFC).

Each of the eight Greek Week
teams is made up of one IFC

fraternity, one SUNY Panhellenic
sorority, and a sorority or frater-
nity from the Panhellenic Coun-
cil, which represents black greek
organizations. The week features
competitions ranging from the
opening day banner contest to
community service events to the
“mayhem and bedlam’’ of the
55 -event Apache relay

Along with the banner contest,
Saturday will feature a barbecue
with a DJ and two bands, The
Device and Joint Distribution.
The greeks have the evening off to
prepare for the events of Sun-
day’s Olympic Day festivities.
That day will see softball, foot-
ball, tug-of-war, volleyball, and
basketball games, with a quota of
women on each team. The games
are selected so that ‘everyone can

STAFF WRITER

As part of the Greek Week 1989 events, there
will be a wheelchair basketball game between a
professional wheelchair team and a group of
Greek all-stars, on Tuesday April 11, at 8:00 p.m..

Greek organizations are co-sponsoring the
event with Disabled Student Services. According
to Director Nancy Bellowich, ‘‘Five years ago, a
Disabled Student Scholarship Fund was establish-
ed by an Alumnus of SUNYA. We’ve been very
slowly trying to build a fund so we can give out
scholarships.’”

The professional team, the Adirondak Raiders,
made it to within four games of the National
Wheelchair title. The league they play in, the Na-
tional Wheelchair Basketball Association, has
teams in the U.S. and Canada. ‘‘We’ve played
games for charity before, against Union,’’ said
team president John Ferguson.

(=e ee
Wheelchair basketball to benefit disabled

The coordinator for the Greek community is
Todd Ellner from Delta Omicron Tau fraternity.
“We're reaching out to the community asa
whole,” Eliner said.

The cost of admission will be a $2 donation and
will enable each person to be part of a raffle which
will give away prizes donated by local businesses.
The donation will go to the scholarship fund.

Local radio station WGY will also be at the
game.

“Students will be helping students,’ Bellowich
said. ‘‘We hope to be able to start giving scholar-
ships next year.”’

According to Bellowich, ‘‘This is one of the
most major efforts by a large variety of students.”
The scholarships will go to those students who
fall between ‘‘funding guidelines,’’ Bellowich
said. “‘this fund will combat that problem and
people who are in need.’” oO

have their niche and play,’’ Lee
said.

Monday is Carnival Day. The
teams will have booths on the
podium competing to raise funds.
Each booth will have a theme,
and that, along with the amount
of money raised, will be the
criteria for judging. Fifty percent
of the money will go to the Bryan
Higgins Scholarship Fund. Hig-
gins, a fraternity pledge, was kill-
ed in an accident at Indian Lake
last spring. The other 50 percent
of the money will be used for re-
maining Greek Week events.

Monday night will see the
greeks scavenging in the dark for
“hundreds of items’’-- golf balls,
sticks of margarine, but ‘‘nothing
illicit.” Lee explained that the
past Greek Week scavenger hunts
at other schools have led par-
ticipants to risk life and limb and
run afoul of the law, stealing such
items as electric signs from police
stations and shopping centers.

Tuesday, Community Service
Day, will feature a picnic with
kids from tha Albany Boys and
Girls Clubs on the practice field.
The Greeks will eat, play, and
“hang-out” with six- to fourteen-
year olds from the clubs, many of
whom are from underprivileged
backgrounds, and will benefit
from the companionship and
guidance the college students can
offer, Lee said.

“They’re very willing, very in-
telligent... this is a chance to show
them that it’s ‘cool’ to not lead a
deviant life and do things by the
book,’’ Lee said. Sports using
equipment provided by the clubs
will be the order of the day, and
pizza and juice donated by Pizza
Movers will provide refreshment.

Tuesday night,

sional wheelchair team will raise
funds for the Disabled Student
Services. All attending will be

The Right to
Speak

The question of allowing controversial
speakers on campus has caused a great deal
of concern about the issue of freedom of
expression. The proposed appearance of
John Valby, the appearance of Meir
Kahane, and the presentation of Kwame
Ture all sparked debate and protest.

Although debate and protest are bound
to follow controversial speakers (and
rightfully so), the guarantee of freedom of
expresssion should never be compromised.
Freedom of expression encompasses many
rights — the right of one to speak, the right
of one to hear, and the right of one to
protest. To have one right without the
others is ludicrous, and goes against many
of this society’s better beliefs. To ban
someone from speaking, listening, or
protesting at an educational institution
cannot be tolerated, regardless of the
circumstances.

With tempers high, it would be difficult
to sit groups down and try to work on a
pleasing compromise. But some effort
needs to be made, by the administration, by
the student groups, or by someone. In the
right forum, groups could pose objections
to certain speakers before the fact, and not
be thrown into a potentially violent
situation at a time when it is too late. It
takes a lot of cooperation, and a lot of
understanding and respect. It is not that
idealistic to believe that people can work
together.

Under no circumstances should this
compromise involve prohibiting speech at
all. That defeats the purpose of a
university. However, a broad-based forum
is needed, because as each speaker gets
more and more controversial, the limits on
speech, as well as the potential for violence,
becomes a more fearful prospect.

A Vote, A Voice

The level of enthusiasm that builds up
just before the Student Association spring
elections has been postponed—for a week.
Despite the setback, there is no reason for
that enthusiasm to wane or for interest to
diminish in the election or in the issues
| behind it.

There are hundreds of students running
in dozens of elections, ranging from Class
Council and University Council
representatives to SA President and Central
Council representatives. Obviously, there is
a keen interest in the way the activity fee is
managed and spent.

Hopefully, this interest, will reflect in the
election polls. It is extremely important, for
the function of hundreds of SA funded-
groups, that the mandatory activity fee
overwhelmingly passes. It is important not
only that it passes, but also that the turnout
is large and convincing. Support for the
mandatory activity fee needs to be shown.

Voting turnout at this school has always
been moderate—at best. Last fall’s election
saw a high turnout, and that was a positive
sign that students here were becoming more
aware of the issues. Now, when needed the
most, that high voter turnout has to be
there.

Is SUNY Albany apathetic? Does it care
about what happens? It is too easy to
respond ‘‘yes, it is apathetic,”’ and “‘no, we
don’t care.’’ But the easy answeer is not
always the right answer, and a renewed
interest in activism, the elections, and the
growth of the Greek life, as well as the
social atmosphere in general, are all signs
that interest in apathy is disappearing.

It begins with the elections, and people
getting out and voting. A strong turnout
sends a message to the leaders, both student
and administrative, that the student body
here is interested. Remember, on April 12
and 13, to vote in the SA elections.

Why We Go Marching

Suppose that later this year the landmark decision the
Supreme Court made in the 1973 ‘Roe vs. Wade”’ case,
affirming the right of women to a safe and legal abortion,
was taken away. Then, suppose that women’s private
reproductive choices were made by a state appointed
committee responsible for assessing a women’s right to an
abortion on a case by case basis. Picture this...

Robin Gellman

You are second in a line-up of 15 women appearing
before your State Abortion Committee (SAC), requesting
to have an abortion. The SAC panel sits in an elevated
sound-proof booth behind a glass window. You all stand
in white paper robes provided for your medical
examination.

The state appoints four men and one woman to decide
yours and each woman’s reproductive destiny. SAC now
creates the conditions which could or could not entitle
you to a safe and legal abortion. You must plea your
cases to these strangers who peer down on you.

It’s your turn. You hear through the wall speakers,
“Case number 5133.’’ The examination begins. The head
committee member begins to list the facts in a mumble,
“Caucasian, twenty years old, college student, rape vic-
tim, and presently suffering from mild depression.”
When he finishes, he gives you the opportunity to speak.

You sit there numbly, knowing that you are being
denied your right to control your own body.

“SAC”? convenes in a decision-making huddle and then
announces, “Case number 5133, denied.”’. The SAC
woman begins to remind you of an anti-choice argument
you had always thought was ludicrous. With her
patronizing plastic smile, she lectures, “‘Remember young
lady, Leonardo da Vinci was the son of a rape victim.
Just think, you may have a Leonardo Junior.”

As the guard escorts you to the exit, he slides a piece of
paper into your hand which you later read: ‘Real Cheap
Abortions for only $199.99, performed by Jim Doe every
evening in the grey warehouse behind Chance Alley
Way.”

You realize you may have to take Mr. Doe up on the

“Chance Alley Way’’ offer, because you have been left _

with no other choice.

The above scenario is, of course, fictitious but not far
removed from a potential reality when a reversal of “‘Roe
vs. Wade”’ is a real and imminent possibility.

Within 48 hours of President Bush’s election, the
Supreme Court was asked to rule on a challenge to the
Missouri law that limits abortions in that state. If the
court rules the law is constitutional, it would effectively
alter or even overturn ‘‘Roe vs. Wade”.

The Missouri case is called, ‘‘Webster vs. Reproductive
Health Services’, and it challenges the principle
established in “Roe vs. Wade” that the state cannot
adopt “‘one theory of life’ to override a woman’s choice
of abortion. It threatens to give the states power to enact
into law the religious belief in fetal personhood.

The Missouri law also contains a number of restrictions
designed to reduce access to abortion. It leaves the
amount of public funding to each state’s own discretion,
which leaves the financially underprivileged at the mercy
of the State. States have the power to restrict abortion,
making it accessible to those whose state medical boards
choose to be fit (the rich, the well connected, and the
lucky). This allows state and federal law makers to
regulate a woman’s private reproductive choice as if it
were a volatile privilege rather than an indelible constitu-
tional right held by all women.

According to a recent Associated Press-NBC poll, the
forces that seek to reverse “‘Roe vs. Wade” are a 19 per-
cent minority of American citizens. April’s Ms. Magazine
said, “not only do a majority of the American public ac-
cept women’s freedom of choice as a right, but this ma-
jority includes the bulk of Republicans, Catholics, and
vitually every voting bloc except white fundamentalists.”

The forces that seek reversal are not only a product of
religious fundamentalism, but also a product of absurd
and obsolete misogyny. Rhonda Copelon and Kathryn
Kolbert of Ms. Magazine affirm, ‘There is behind the
sanctification of the fetus a scarifying agenda that seeks
to deny women our personhood, our self determination,
and is attempting to reestablish state power to dictate who
is an eligible producer.”

The pro-choice majority must become more visible to

Guns

o maybe I didn’t exactly embrace
S them from the start. I can’t say that
I liked their image — the sleazy,
bad-ass, sexist, drug-drenched, I-just-
tortured-the-neighbors’-cat schtick. Sex,
drugs and rock’n’roll personified, I had my
reservations about Guns N’ Roses: the
original record cover for Appetite for
Destruction, depicting the aftermath of a
rape, brought upon cries that they condon-
ed rape, and their song “Mr. Brownstone”
brought upon cries that they condoned,
even advocated, the use of heroin. But ap-
pearances can be decieving, right?

Stef McDonald

And maybe-I sorta scoffed at what I
heard as the shallowness of their songs,
mistaking them for another Poison,
Whitesnake, or Kingdom Come (“Take me
down to the paradise city/ where the grass
is green and the girls are pretty” is, no mat-
ter how you hear it, shallow). Then I really
listened to “Welcome To the Jungle” and
hey — it’s really a great song, and soon I
found that I’d accrued a taste for Guns N’
Roses.

These guys are above the bullshit, I
thought. I liked them, but now I'm not so
sure.

With everything questionable about the
band, I kidded myself into believing it was
all in good humor. They‘re mocking their
contemporaries of the sleazy rock'n'roll
world, I reasoned. They're mocking their
own image, and parody — especially self-

N’ Roses: Appetite for hypo

parody — is permissible.

Besides, taking things to the nth degree
is often necessary. It’s important for risks to
be taken. Where would we be today had
Elvis kept his hips in check?

So “I Used to Love Her (but I had to kill

her)’ I dismissed as comical. The boys from
the band even made a point to note it as
such on the cover to their latest, G NR
Lies. “A joke, nothing more,” the album's
jacket advises. So it’s a joke, not meant to
be taken very seriously, you know,

Interviews from homes away from

ete Rose, with his gambling allega-

tions and Steve Garvey and Wade

Boggs, with their detailed sexual
exploits, have all proven to fans of the na-
tional pastime that there is a great deal
more to the game than what goes on bet-
ween the foul lines. Unfortunately, their
collective extracurricular activities were
not the sort Abner Doubleday, or whoever
exactly invented baseball over hundred
years ago.

Peter LaMassa

On the other hand, in his new book,
“Baseball Lives,” Mike Bryan outlines the
stories of lots of people close to the game,
including bus drivers, trainers, sport-
swriters, scouts, public address announcers
and the guy who makes the bats at the
Louisville Slugger factory.

Bryan asked every subject the same
question: “Talk about baseball the way you
want to.” Suprisingly enough, not all of
them addressed the obvious. Umpire Bruce
Froemming did not talk about umpiring,
but instead spoke about his short stint as a
minor league player. The marketing
representative from the San Diego Padres
talked about his admiration for Yankee
great Roger Maris, and not the expected

dollars and cents.

From Ronald Bryant, working super-
visor at the Louisville Slugger factory:
“Cinncinati Reds outfielder) Kal Daniels
sent some bats back; the handles were a lit-
tle small. They were a little small, but not
that small. He said they just weren't right,
but if he’d been hitting, he wouldn’t have
paid any attention to it. I'd be the same
way. These guys make a living with the
bat.” (Holy superstition, Batman.)

From “King,” a professional gambler
whose name was withheld: “I think
baseball is the best game to bet because it’s
(played) everyday... but there's no skill
involved. Blind luck ... I do this to make
money, but I haven’t made money. Where
else can you go, short of selling drugs, and
make a phone call and the next day have
maybe two or three thousand in your
pocket.” (A friend of Pete’s Rose's,
possibly?)

From Hank Greenwald, San Francisco
Giants broadcaster: “Baseball is so hard to
broadcast. It’s hard because it’s not an in-
herently exciting sport. It’s a fascinating
sport, contemplative sport, but the
moments of genuine excitement at a
baseball game are few. There are a lot of
gaps to fill.” (This is why Phil Rizzuto sees
fit to fill us in on his friend’s birthdays and
his favorite Italian restaurants.)

“Talk about baseball the way you want to”

From Buck Rogers, manager of the Mon-
treal Expos: “The game itself is not life or
death. The kids have to play loose, with a
freedom of mind. Managing the game
itself, that’s the easiest thing in the world.
That's almost mechanical.” (A quote that

George Steinbrenner should stick to his

crisy

tongue-in-cheek, and that's fine.

But racism and homophobia are matters
of which I'm having a very tough time ex-
cusing. There is nothing funny or light
about “One in a Million,” another cut from
G NR Lies, and there is no way to excuse,
explain or rationalize the lines from it
which read: “Immigrants and faggots/ they
make no sense to me/ they come to our
country/ and think they'll do as they
please/ like start some mini-Iran/ or spread
some fucking disease.”

What's worse is that Guns N’ Roses
agreed to play at the “Rock and a Hard
Place” AIDS benefit show in New York
planned for this upcoming June. After be-
ing invited to participate (they accepted the
invitation — hypocrites that they are), the
request for their presence at the show was
withdrawn — they were bumped from the
bill — following the response to the lyrical
content of “One in a Million.”

On the album jacket there’s a blurb.on
the song that reads, “This song is very sim-
ple and extremely generic or generalized,
my apologies to those who may take of
fense.” That, however, does not excuse the
disgraceful, disrespectful, disgusting con-
tent of the song. Nothing can convince me
that, there is anything of redeeming value
in those lines; it's not a joke, and as it’s not,
it is not excusable. And, no, I'm not in any

| way advocating censorship (the awful “c-
word" as | like to call it), or suggesting that
Guns N’ Roses be silenced. I’m just disap-
pointed. It may have been naive of me, but
I thought that they were better than they
apparently are. ag

The greatest strength of this book is in
Bryan letting the characters call it the way
they see it. This allows the fan to see
beyond the star players, and look into the
lives of the supporting cast. i,

April 7, 1989

Seems that every time I go to the Beacon Theatre in New York City, I
end up traveling with someone unfamiliar to NYC (dare I call them
“NYC virgins?’). And it seems that every time I do so, I meet some
trouble.

The first time it happened with a friend of my brother's — innocent,
naive and unaware of the “corruption” of the big apple — when we went
to the Beacon to see Robyn Hitchcock. I had to save him from being
swindled from someone on the street. This past weekend it happened to
me again when I traveled to the Beacon with a friend who told me, “sure
I've been to the city — two times.” Actually he meant to tell me that
he'd been to Yankee Stadium once when he was ten, and another time
he'd driven through NY on the way home from a trip to New Jersey. So
there I was driving along West Side Highway when he started screaming,
“Wow! An aircraft carrier! I've never seen a real aircraft carrier before. I
used to do models like that. Oh my god!” It was the Intrepid that he saw
and as we were caught in stop-and-go traffic, his excitement nearly caused
me to fly through the windshield and meet the car in front of us bumper-
on-top-of-bumper. And that was just the Intrepid.

In the heart of the city in the pouring rain, we were bound for
Rockefeller Plaza where we had to pick up tickets for an eight o'clock
show (this time it was the Replacements | trekked in to see). Despite the
fact that I've been to NY quite a bit, I've a very poor sense of where
everything is, and I've also a poor sense of direction (to me, north is
whatever direction I happen to be facing, south is always behind me, east
is to the right, and west, to the left). We did manage, with my sense of
direction, as pathetic as it is, to make it to where we had to go.

Riding around in circles without any clue as to where we were or
where we were going might have been reason enough for me to worry.
More reason came when the traffic cop yelled at us for not reading a sign
(“follow the signs, follow the signs”) and Mr. T’ve been to NY two times’
was rude to her. But then as rush hour approached, it got worse. Since I
wasn’t very comfortable with the car, I sorta burnt the clutch out a bit,
the car sorta overheated, and the brakes sorta went.

“What's that smell?.” “Oh just the radiator fluid.” “Is the car supposed
to make that sound?” “No, the car's not supposed to sound like a tea
kettle.” “What's that sound?” “It’s just that the brake pads have worn
down.”

Car problems aside, when the tickets were picked up (we parked the
car and let it cool down) I surrendered driving duties, hoping to relax and
happily retire to the passenger seat to become a NYC tour guide. That, of
course, meant allowing Mr. ‘’ve been to NY two times but have never
driven in NYC before’ the opportunity to drive.

“One way street? Oh.” Oh? Oh? I forgot to remind him that the streets
are one-way, and it is therefore not advisable (or legal) to drive down one
in the wrong direction. Yes, there's a reason those cars are honking their
horns at us. No, we're not supposed to be driving in this direction. “What
are you doing?’ I finally asked, holding in a scream. “There’s a parking
spot,” he said. “But this is a one way street,” I reasoned, while he tried to
pull into the spot facing the backed up stretch of cars waiting for the light
to change. “There's a fire hydrant here!” I screamed, in the frantic tone of
a drivers ed instructor. “We're parked the wrong, way on a one-way street
and there’s a hydrant right here!” I was at this point a bit upset, and
worried. So, why not put it in reverse, do a 180 degree turn — as the
light is changing and the traffic is heading for us — and pretend that
nothing happened?

When we made a wrong turn at a light, he was rude to the traffic cop,
and then it got worse when he decided to challenge the cab drivers, “I've
sorta’ ignored the lane concept,” he proudly announced. From “Wow! It’s
an aircraft carrier,” to “I'm gonna cut off this cab driver,” I was afraid that
Td created a monster. oO

They Were

here were only two brothers in the
ck brightly lit hospital waiting room

when the clock struck three a.m. A
monotonous humming sound being emit-
ted from the coffee machine kept the
children’s minds focused. The serenity of
the mountains in the painting hanging on
the wall was supposed to comfort those in
need, but the boys felt no comfort; only
pain.

Mitchell Hahn

“Ryan,” Jonah said quietly while laying
his head on his older brother's lap. “How
come no one came out to tell us anything?”

Ryan ran his fingers lightly through his
8-year- old brother's stringy hair. “It takes
time, Jonah. They're probably resting and
the doctors have nothing to tell us.”

Ryan was keener than that, though, He
knew in his mind that something wasn’t
good. His shoulder length blond hair lay
straight on his neck, and his bright blue
eyes filled with tears occasionally. Ryan
‘was 14, but much more perceptive than
people gave him credit for being. He didn’t
want to alarm his younger brother, and felt
he must remain strong for the more
vulnerable one.

Time wasn't passing by quickly since the
boys arrived in the waiting room at 10:30
the night before. It seemed to Ryan as
though he was frozen in time. Being in a
strange place far away from home frighten-
ed Jonah, and Ryan too, although Jonah’s
fear was more evident.

Ryan bought two hot chocolates from
the coffee machine. “Now drink it slowly,”
Ryan warned. “That's the last of the change
Thave.”

The boys sipped the hot chocolate
carefully.

“Could we play a game?” Jonah asked.
Ryan consented, knowing that perhaps by
keeping their mind's occupied, time would
speed up.

“What kind of game?”

Jonah thought hard. His eyes squinted
slightly. The young boy was only a smaller
version of his older brother. “Association.
We played it in school. All you have to do
is I say a word, and you have to say the
first thing that pops into your head.”

Ryan wasn’t in the mood for that type of
game, but he agreed to satisfy Jonah. “Ok,”
Ryan sat up. What's the first word?”

“Dog,” Jonah said.

“Cat,” Ryan immediately responded.

“School.”

There was a heavy, silent stare between
the brothers, creating an awkward, intense
atmosphere. They had been going too fast.
The quickness of the game gave Ryan no
time to think. Tears accumulated in Jonah’s
yes. Sensing this, Ryan jumped from his
Seat across the room and embraced Jonah.

“I’m sorry,” Ryan cried. “I didn’t mean to
say it Jonah, It doesn’t mean anything. It
Was just the first thing that came to my
mind. Please don’t cry. It doesn’t mean
anything; I swear.”

Ryan was trying so hard to convince the
little boy, but Jonah couldn’t hold back. He
bawled onto his brother's shoulder.

“I'm scared, Ryan,” Jonah teared. “What
if something really bad happens and...”

“Don't,” Ryan rubbed Jonah’s hair,
Pleading with him. “Please, just don’t say
anything like that.” But Ryan couldn't con-
vince Jonah, for he wasn’t convinced
himself, Ryan was aware that life could be
reat one minute, and suddenly plunge to
great depths of sorrow. That's what had oc-
cured the day before.

Enjoying a beautiful vacation in
Dineyland, the boy’s parents had gone out
for a couple of hours when their rented car
spun out of control, hurling both parents

Going Too Fast

through the windshield. Ryan was unsure
of the future, then. If anything, it made
him realize how quickly things could
happen.

Jonah broke the embrace and stood up,
red-eyed, in a wild frenzy. “Why don’t
they come out here? Why doesn’t
somebody tell us something?”

“Come heré, Jonah,” Ryan beckoned.
"Try to relax, please. Sit next to me. I want
you close by.” Jonah sat down. “Hold my
hand.” Ryan put his hand out to Jonah, and
Jonah grasped it.

After a five minute pause, Jonah spoke.
“T forgot to say ‘I love you’ before they
left.”

“What?” Ryan asked confused.

“Every time they go somewhere, | usual-
ly say, ‘I love you’ to mommy and daddy. I
forgot this time.” Jonah sulked.

Surprised at Jonah’s intensity, Ryan com-
forted him. “I’m sure they know,” Ryan
said.

“Yeah, but I didn’t tell them. I didn’t tell
them before they left this time. What if
they think I stopped loving them. What if
they're sad because I forgot to tell them. I
have to tell them I love them, Ryan. I have
to tell them...” Jonah breaths slowed
down.” ... just in case.”

Jonah began crying again. Ryan squeez-
ed his hand hard, reassuring him that it
would be alright.

To change the subject, Ryan asked,
“Remember when you were five and I
threw that rock at you and it knocked out
your tooth?”

“Yeah,” Jonah smiled slightly. “And I
was bleeding for two hours.”

“Well, I never said I was sorry. All I kept
saying was ‘it’s not my fault’. Remember?.”

Jonah looked at Ryan with his eyes at
half mast. They looked as if each one was
taken out from their sockets and dipped in
a glossy red dye. “Why are you bringing
this up, now?”

“1 don’t know,” Ryan looked down. ‘I
guess I always thought you were mad at
me for that. Are you?”

“No. That was a long time ago.
Anyways, I got five dollars from the tooth
fairy. Remember, you cried because you
wanted half. You said if you didn’t knock
out the tooth in the first place, I wouldn’t
have gotten the money.”

“Yeah, I remember,” Ryan said. “Well,
I'm sorry for that. I didn’t mean to take out
your tooth, but you were always so
annoying.”

“Twas not,” Jonah exclaimed. “You were

just jealous because I got all the attention
because I’m younger than you are. I always
got what I wanted.”

“Jealous?” Ryan said in disbelief, shaking
his head once quickly to remove the hair
from his eyes. “I wasn’t jealous. You were
annoying”

“Yeah,” Jonah joked light-heartedly.
“But you loved me anyway.”

Jonah laughed; Ryan didn’t. “Instead,
Ryan's eyes welled up with tears. He
became most somber and placed his other
hand around Jonah’s hair. “I still do.”

Losing his laughter, Jonah’s bottom lip
quivered. “And no matter what happens,
little brother,” Ryan continued, “you will
always have me by your side.” Their eyes
were attached to each other's with the ut-
most intensity. “ It’s important for you to
know that.” Ryan was crying. “I will never
leave you.” .

“And what about mom and dad,” Jonah’s
high pitched voice shook with each word,
“Will they ever leave us?”

Ryan finally broke. He could no longer
keep the strong, big brother image he'd at-
tempted to sustain. Once again, he grabbed
his younger brother and tightly hugged
him. “It's going to be alright, Jonah,” Ryan
whimpered in his brother's ear. “No matter
what happens, it’s going to be alright.”

The embrace halted when the doctor
entered the waiting room. Still crying, the
boys stood to meet the doctor who was
smiling. They listened intently while the
doctor explained that their parents would
be fine after some slow recovery. They
didn’t understand everything, or how long
it would take, but one thing they were old
enough to both comprehend was that their
parents would be fine. That was all the
hope they needed.

The doctor escorted the boys to a room,
and told them they were allowed in one at
a time for only five minutes so the parents
could get rest.

“You go first, Ryan,” Jonah offered wip-
ing his eyes. “You're the oldest.”

Ryan grabbed both Jonah’s hands. “No,
Jonah, you go. I told them I loved them
before they left.” oO

Oscar gets
a face lift

t's safe to say that Alan Carr's pro-
duction of the Academy Awards
ceremony this past Wednesday

| marked several significant alterations in the

Oscar format. It’s the first time in quite a
long time that none of the nominated
songs were performed live. The familiar
audience reaction shots became a thing of
the past, Stand-by presenters who have
been utilized for many years were not call-
ed upon to perform those duties. Finally,
the age-old phrase of ‘and the winner
is...’ was abolished in favor of ‘and the
Oscar goes to...’

April S. Anastasi

As far as the songs are concerned, this is
a blessing. After the hatchet job dancer
Ann Reinking did to a Phil Collins song a
few years ago, I doubt anyone remained in
the ‘let's get cut-rate performers to sing
these songs instead of those nominated’
camp. Oh, I know. They tried to get Phil.
Right. And they tried to get Princess Di,
too,

Reaction shots, while often uncomfor-
table for the losers, stand as one of the
most interesting studies in strength out
there today. Honestly, it is a wonderful
thing to get an Academy Award nomina-
tion. But knowing the competitive spirit

that reigns supreme in this country and
which pervades in every part of our lives,
_it seems a reasonable assumption that all of
the nominees really do want to win.
Because when it comes right down to it, it
is ‘The’ Oscar. It follows that it’s interesting
to see how those who don’t clinch the
Award hold up.

Tl jump ahead to my fourth point here,
for an ultra-smooth transition. What's this
‘and the Oscar goes to. . . “ business? More
people know the phrase ‘and the winner
is...’ and where it comes from than any
of George Bush’s ‘points of light’ statement.
And everybody realizes that, the Oscars
are a contest. Beauty, popularity, or talent,
it’s a contest just the same, and no one ever
said contests were fair. (Remember the
year Spielberg's The Color Purple was en-
tirely overlooked?)

Talk about overlooking people; where
was Liz Taylor? Not just Liz, but all of the
other old Hollywood types that epitomize
the true glamour that the Academy
Awards (and Hollywood) were built on.
When James Stewart and Kim Novak came
onstage there seemed a glimmer of hope
‘for the entire ceremony... until they
jl presented the award for sound. Not that
sound isn’t important (it changed the face
— and ears — of Hollywood), but it’s not
exactly carrying the entire film. What
about the actors? The directors? The

; writers?

Alan Carr put in a valiant effort, that’s a
given. He actually did try. But it brought
little, if any, prestige to the Awards and
left the Academy with a lawsuit from
Disney on its hands.

Maybe Hollywood should start concern-
ing itself with self-preservation and recap-
turing the aura and mystique which it was
built on instead of sandwiching the most
prestigious awards between Snow White
dance numbers and selling its soul through
‘money and promotions in order to obtain
the nominations. These are the only
awards in which the winners are chosen by
their professional peers. Why not allow the
artists who deserve it to earn nominations
and awards through their work? Art for
art’s sake, and end these politics of the soul.

Setting the Record

To the Editor:
I am writing in response to Ian Wagreich’s article,
“Students to decide the fate of SA’”’ in the March 31st
edition of the ASP. Mr. Wagreich writes in part, ‘‘The
SUNY Central Administration has mandated that the ac-
tivity fee be voted on by at least 10 percent of the student
body and passed by 60 percent of those who vote.” That
statement is inaccurate. SUNY Central does mandate that
the mandatory/voluntary referendum occur every four
years, and does mandate the precise language of the
referendum. If the 10 percent and 60 percent limits do ex-
ist as described in the March 31st article, they were not
imposed by SUNY Central nor the University at Albany.
This note is to re-establish the record.

Student-Mothers

To the Editor:

It is funny how college students react when someone
brings a small child on campus. This is because college
students rarely interact with kids and people who have
kids. Also, the majority of students do not have children
yet. However, believe it or not, there are a few of us out
there (student-mothers).

There are basically no incentives given to mothers to
finish college at SUNY Albany. Special factors such as
day care, scholarships, financial aid, grants, and support
for student-mothers cease to exist in the eyes of SUNYA’s
administration and students.

The fact that no aid in the forms of scholarships and
daycare grants are available to mothers is discriminatory.
A child or children pose a greater obstacle for women.

Greek Carnival

To the Editor:

It’s our pleasure to announce the first annual Greek
Carnival on the Albany State Campus. This event will
take place on Monday, April 10th, from 1-4 pm on the
podium. There will be eight different booths set up
around the large fountain selling everything from food to
clothing. The proceeds from this event will go towards a
scholarship fund for the late Bryan Higgins.

On Tuesday, April 11th at 8 pm, we will also be hosting
the first annual wheelchair basketball extravaganza.
There will be a professional wheelchair basketball team,
the Adirondack Raiders, playing against an All-Star Stu-
dent team. We will be asking for a donation of $2 at the
door. This will automatically include a raffle ticket for
door prizes. There will be local media celebrities present
to participate in the half-time show. All proceeds will
benefit the Disabled Student Scholarship Fund.

We extend an invitation to the entire Albany State cam-
pus to participate in both these events. We hope to see
you there.

Gimme My Diploma

To the Editor:

Congratulations to SUNYA for doing it again. Senior
year is supposed to be a time when certain priviledges are
available for surviving three years of college life. Instead,
SUNYA has instituted the following three policies:

1. No seniority in the housing process.

2. No early registration for 100 level courses.

3. The initial year of the new honors requirements.

May I make a suggestion? Why not tell the seniors that
we are unwanted and let us go into the job market one
year earlier. Just hand us our diplomas now and we will
be on our way.

—David Mallow

Know Your Rights

To the Editor:

With the coming months, many students will be mov-
ing, and with the moving comes the dreaded call to get
utility service turned on. At this point questions such as,
“Do I really have to pay a $400 deposit just to get elec-
tricity in my house?” start to arise. NYPIRG has compil-
ed this list of some of your rights as a New York utility
customer,

A utility--and this includes telephone companies--can
only require a security deposit under certain cir-
cumstances. These include: if you have had your service
turned off in the last six months because you haven’t paid
your bill; if you haven’t paid your bill in the last two

months a deposit may be required to continue service; or-
-and this is the killer for most students--if you plan to live
in your residence for one year or less.

In any of these cases, a utility may ask you for a deposit
amounting to no more than two monthly bills. If a
deposit is required, you have twenty days to pay it or you
can have it spread out over twelve monthly payments.

And now some good news. If you pay your bill within
two months at each billing, the utility must refund your
deposit after twelve months with interest!

If you ever have problems paying your bill, the best
thing to do is call the utility and try to set up a payment
plan. Utilities just want their money, and if you are show-
ing them that you are trying to pay, they will usually be
helpful.

If you have any questions about other rights you have
as a utility customer, call NYPIRG at 442-5658 and we
will be happy to help you.

Response to Valby

To the Editor:

This is my response to an ignorant fool,
Racists and troublemakers don’t belong in school.

And if you are wise, then please tell me this.
Who won this battle? (My case is dismissed)

We cancelled your show-don’t try to come back.
If you try to return, you must be on crack.

SUNY is diverse - a true ‘“‘ melting pot,”
It’s people like you we simply need not.

One bad apple spoils a barrel,
Turmoil at SUNYA was the result of your carol.

When we understand each other and find unity,
Tensions will cease at this university.

This is for people of all colors who don’t understand
others. ,

This is for John Valby.
Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding,

Remember Kathy

To the Editor:

T would like to write a letter to make myself feel better
and hopefully make an impact on a few readers. If I suc-
ceed in helping even one person, I will be able to deal with
my pain easier.

Last year I lived with a girl who was ‘sweet, compas-
sionate, and would’ do anything for someone she cared
about. She was a political science major/criminal justice
minor who worked so hard to satisfy her aspirations to
become lawyer. She had a boyfriend whom she adored
and who adored her back. She worried whenever any of
her friends went out drinking.

Kathy Campion, this great suitemate, was killed by a
drunk driver on St. Patrick’s day. Kathy, who had so
many people who loved her, Kathy, who had an incredi-
ble future to look forward to. Kathy, my good friend!

The point I’m trying to stress, of course, is don’t drink
and drive. Even a little impairment can affect yours and
other’s safety. So the next time you go out drinking, have
a great time. But, think first before you get behind the
wheel. Think of Kathy!

— Sulie Wallace

SE FSS,

<
their state and federal governments. The highly visible
anti-choice group, ‘‘Operation Rescue”, is not only
violently threatening health care facilities and harrassing
women seeking medical care, but is receiving un-
precedented press coverage designed to undermine the
legitimacy of legal abortion.

Their presence on the steps of the Capitol and the
Supreme Court, coupled with their hostile actions, have
been frighteningly successful. This vocal and well
organized minority has created a climate of fear and in-
timidation where the rights and lives of millions of
women are now in grave jeopardy.

The time has come to get the pro-choice majority’s
voice heard by an immediate, massive, and multifaceted
mobilization. The National Organization for Women
(NOW) has organized the ‘‘March for Women’s Equality
and Women’s Lives”’ set for Sunday, April 9, 1989, for
the majority of women and men who are pro-choice,

If you are determined that not one woman should die in
pain and loneliness from botched illegal abortion, come
to Washington, D.C., to express solidarity with the hun-
dreds of thousands who will march to reaffirm the com-
mitment to safe and legal abortions.

Peace Project is providing three buses to the march,
leaving, from the Administation Circle at 11:30 p.m.,
Saturday, April 8th. Seats are $25 round trip. Subsidies
are offered for those who need financial assistance. To
reserve a last minute seat or for more information, call
Daniella Korotzer, 438-5949.

If you believe...

(1) every woman should have the right to choose a safe
and legal abortion

@) the decision to terminate a pregnancy should be
made by individual women, not by legislators

(3) there is a real danger that a small but highly organiz-
ed anti-choice minority can impose its will on the majori-
ty of Americans who support a woman’s right to choose
abortion

(4) a Constitutional right loses its value if we cannot ex-
ercise that right and that efforts to restrict the rights of
minors and of poor women to make personal choices
must be stopped

«then you should be heard loud and clear on the
streets of Washington, upholding women’s equality. ©

Why Summer Study?

Reasons for summer study at the University at Albany are many.
Summer is a traditional time to make up classes, to complete

Tequirements, or to simply study subjects that are of personal interest
while moving ahead in your schedule. The summer is also an ideal
time to explore subjects in greater detail. It can provide the
opportunity for adventures in learning which are unavailable due to
demands of the regular academic year.

During the summertime, you can take advantage of a wide variety of
session options, meeting times and available courses which make
summer study an attractive choice. There are a number of features of
the summer program which provide for excellent study opportunities.
Among them:

@ smaller, more personal classes

@ available space in high demand sections which are closed during
the rest of the year

@ access for seniors to introductory level courses

@ access to higher level courses for lower division students

@ opportunity to take courses normally restricted to majors

@ better access to computer, library, and-other campus facilities
®@ more relaxed, informal campus environment

® opportunity to accelerate or make up graduation requirements
@ chance to explore new subject areas

@ opportunity to complete requirements for general education

Comptroller accuses SUNY of mismanagement

(AP) A special State University of
New York maintenance and
repair program has been poorly
managed, creating an atmosphere
where abuses or illegal acts could
occur without detection, state
Comptroller Edward V. Regan
said Thursday.

Officials of the nation’s largest
university system bristled at
Regan’s report.

Ina prepared statement, SUNY
Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone
took ‘‘stong exception to the un-
warranted inferences” about the
potential for abusive or illegal
acts in the program’s
management.

Regan, speaking at a news con-
ference, said an audit of projects
under SUNY’s special fund
estimate program found instances
of improper hiring and purchas-
ing procedures and an overall lack
of accountability for project
costs.

The special fund estimate
Method is used for minor
Tehabilitation and repair work
which is beyond the scope of
maintenance and repairs normally
performed by the campus’
Maintenance staff. Generally the
Projects cost less than $15,000,
although some projects have cost
as much as $350,000.

“The business side of SUNY
has not been up to par with the
educational side,’ the. com-
Ptroller said, adding that the
university system needed to im-
Prove its business performance in
all areas.

Regan said the deficiencies had

However, he said auditors found

Johnstone said the special fund

$1.8 million compared to alter-

eliminating the overhead and pro-
fit costs normally factored into

“The comptoller has chosen to

Puses and to completely ignore

€d the state taxpayers millions of

Tread.

SUNY spokesman Hugh
Tuohey said the majority of the
valid recommendations proposed
by Regan already had been ad-
dressed in revised guidelines
issued by SUNY.

Regan said SUNY, which had
380,000 students at 64 campuses,
has been moving to correct its

enough.

The University at Albany’s
men’s swimming team, with the
aid of four others, is trying to
break two world records, while
raising money for the American
Cancer Society.

The group of 20 is trying to
swim 500 miles in 240 hours (ten
days), which would set swimming
endurance records for time and
distance.

The previous records are 373.53
miles by a Katowice, Poland
team, and over 233 hours by
another team.

As of 5:00 p.m. on Thursday
April 6, the ‘Great Danes plus
four’ had swum 302,800 yards,
which is over 172 miles in 77
hours.

Although the Guinness Book

to take a five minute break after

not to do so. Walsh said that they

But Finneran hit on a key
phase when talking about the
negotiations ‘‘in the public in-
terest.” The public interest is
what many of those involved
seem to have forgotten.

It used to be, many years ago,
that fans were the most impor-
tant part of sports. Everything
was worked to keep the fans
happy, and done ‘‘in the interest
of the fans.”’ Fans spent money,
and that, in turn, kept the
owners happy.

But maybe the fans spent too

much money. Because now
money is blinding many in-
dividuals, Yankee owner George
Steinbrenner, for one, sold out
to MSG for $400 million in a
contract to air the games, taking
all but 12 from WPIX channel
11 - a channel free to New York
City residents and available on
basic cable service.

Cablevision too seems to have
its head in the clouds lined with
green bills. They refuse to sign a
contract with MSG because

The idea was submitted by
Potash after he noticed that the
records seemed attainable.

It is being sponsored by Broad-

Walsh said ‘‘Somebody’s
always in the water, always mov-

Potash said “I really think
we’re going to do it. It’s going to
be a world record. There’s no
doubt in my mind that we going

definitely building team morale.
It’s been so motivating.
Everybody’s really involved. It’s

MSG wants basic service - all

For now, negotiations are at a

to examine the cable industry
and program selection as a
whole.

In the final tally of the
scoreboard, it’s the fans who are
going to lose. It may be days,

On a dreary Tuesday afternoon, the
Albany men’s track team hosted R.P.I. in
their first outdoor meet of the season, win-
ning 98-65.

As a whole, the team was very consis-
tent. In the sprints, there were no sur-
prises, with Albany sweeping the 100 and
200 meter races. They also won the 4x100
meter relay. In the longer distances, the
Danes had one first place and several se-
cond place efforts.

Albany was equally impressive in the
field events with several good perfor-
mances. The Danes took first in the long
and triple jumps. The weight men were the
big surprise, placing in every event and
winning the hammer throw and the discus.

“Our overall depth showed through and
I am pleased with this fine early season
performance,’’ said Albany coach Roberto
Vives.

Michael Salmon, a sophomore, was
named runner of the meet. He certainly
deserved the honor by winning the 100 and
200 meters and helping the 4x100 and the
4x400 meter relay teams to victory. He ran
10.9 seconds in the 100 meters and a good
early season time of 22.05 seconds in the
200 meters.

John Ashley, also a sophomore, was
named field athlete of the meet. Coming
off an injury plagued indoor season, he
won the triple jump with a leap of
45-97%” and placed second in the long
jump.

Many outstanding showings were turned

high hurdles, Juan Sanchez, a sophomore,
defeated arch rival David Asche. These

place in the last three state meets. Spann-
ing two years, this rivalry shows Sanchez
with an edge of two championships to one.
Sanchez ran a good race and possibly
foreshadowed a state meet showdown.

In the 400 meter intermediate hurdles
freshman Wilfredo Rodriguez out-classed
all competition, running a 55.9 second lap
and in doing so qualifying for state and
CTC competition. Bruce Gaynor, a senior
tri-captain, also qualified for states in the
same race.

Rodriguez said of his performance, “‘I
am extremely pleased and looking to
qualify for nationals.”’

To back up Salmon in the sprints the
Danes have Jose Maymi, a sophomore tri-
captain and Derek Westbrook, a
freshman. They are young and will help
the Danes in upcoming competition. In
sweeping the 100 and 200 meter races they
contributed 18 points to the Danes win.

In the 400 meters Robert DeMaio, a
sophomore, ran an excellent race, but was
outleaned at the tape. In the 800 meters
Joe McCullen, a freshman, ran a good
time of 1:58.0, in placing second. He ran a
strong race and showed that he is not
afraid to go out hard and take the lead.
With running like this, the Albany distance
squad can only get better. In the 3000
meter steeplechase, Chris Kranick, .a
junior, gave Albany its only distance win
with a time of 10:15.7.

In the field events, the Danes also had
several.good showings. In the pole vault,
state champion Tom Mead,a freshman,
won with a vault of 13’6’’. In the jumping
events the Danes had, besides Ashley,

to RPI in two of the last four years, the

nell,” said Lewis.

“[’m not disappointed in our
performance,” said Lewis.

The team’s next match, against
Hartwick, has been postponed
until May Ist, so the next match
