STATE WAITER

When the Albany State men's soccer
ouch, Bill Schieffelin, looked at his team's
schedule, he saw conference games against
New York State ranked Plattsburgh and
Cortland followed by Division I Hartwick.
"How we do in these three games deter-
Mines if we are in the driver's seat or the
caboose for the rest of the season,"” sald
Schieffelin,

‘On Wednesday, the Great Danes put the
Key in the driver's door with a come from
behind 2+1 victory over Platisburgh,

‘The Danes showed polse and maturity,
fighting back from a 1-0 deficit at halftime,
After scoring two goals early in the second
half, Albany narrowly held onto their lead,
Fine goaltending by freshman Tom Merritt
and superb defensive play by Mike Miller
‘and Jerry Isaacs preserved the Albany win
Despite being outshot 21-7 and dominated
for most of the game the Danes improved
their record to 1-0 in SUNYAC and 2-0-1

overall. The Cardinals'of Plattsburgh drop-
ped to 0-1 and 4-1-1,

Albany looked lethargic in the first half
Jamie Parra beat Merritt on an assist from
Joe Aguirre for Plattsburgh's only goal
1122 of the first half, “Tommy just make a
mistake," said Schieffelin. It was the first
goal given up by Merritt this year.

‘The waiting is over for head coach Bob
Ford and his Albany State Great Danes, It
has been nearly two weeks since the Danes
defeated the Ithaca College Bombers and
now, after some tt days of practice, the
Danes are ready to resume their 1982
schedule with a game against the
Brockport Golden Eagles, tomorrow in
Brockport,

A scheduling problem brought about an
‘open date which the Danes had last week.
For some, an open date can be a blessing,
lan opportunity for a team to correct
mistakes and for {ts injured players to
hheal, But for others the open date can be a
curse, as staleness may set in while the

Offensively, the Danes were almost non-
existent, Their first shot was not taken until
almost halfway into the opening 45 minute
period, Merritt made several fine saves to
keep the Danes close, Cardinal Donovan
‘Scott was deprived several times after mak-
ing electrifying charges to the net,

The Danes came alive in the second half
when Isaacs beat goalle John Sovay 10 the
wide side at 6:22, He had worked his way
through the penalty box and sent his kick
through the fullback's legs,

Plattsburgh mounted several ffensive
charges in an attempt to regain the lead but
were turned back every time, At 16:44, |
Terry Bacchus stole the ball from two
defenders, split them and lifted the ball
over Sovay's head and into the net for
Albany's second goal,

The final 30 minutes of the contest
featured relentless pressure by Plattsburgh.
Several times they appeared to have tied. the
score only for Isaacs, Miller or Merritt to
push the ball out of harm, The most anx-

Tous moment occurred in the final minute
of play when only a diving save by Merritt
prevented the tying goal from being scored.

The Danes also received stellar pet
fomances from Dorian Fanfare, Dominique

Cadet, Eddie Monsalve and Robert Gar-
rett,

“You have got to make the best of it,’”

said Ford referring to Albany's week off,
“We have to continue to grow, There's an
old saying, ‘If you've stayed the same,
you've gotten worse,”'*

Considering Albany's last perfomance
against Ithaca, staying the same might not
be such a bad idea. The Danes, led by the
passing exploits of quarterback Tom
Pratt, routed the Bombers and are hoping
to continue that kind of doi
tomorrow against the Eagles.

In the past, the Danes have had little
problems with their Division III counter-
parts from Brockport, Last season the
Danes ripped the Eagles 36-7 and over the
last few years, Albany has averaged close
to 35 points a game against Brockport,

But despite the lopsided results, Ford
does not expect complacency to be a fac-
tor in this contest.

“We usually have not had trouble get-
ting up for Brockport,"” Ford said, “They
have some excellent athletes.”

Leading the Brockport attack is
quarterback Dan Grote, A versatile
player, Grote not only runs the offense,
but also returns punts and kickoffs, In ad-
dition, he is the team punter. In fact,
Grote was honored two years ago by the
ECAC for his punting performances in
the 1980 season,

‘The Eagles run their offense out of the
Wing-T formation designed to reinforce
the offensive line in order to increase
power along the line of scrimmage, Fur-
ther, Brockport’s front line is massive,
“They must average 235 pounds across,"”
according {0 assistant coach Kevin

Brescia stands at the middle of the
defensive line in a 5-2 arrangement, but
also drops off the line to play linebacker
in a 4-3 alignment, ‘He plays linebacker
; with good lateral mobility," said Guyette,

Soaring Danes ready to resume with Eagles

The Eagles are very good at mixing up
their defenses. Brockport uses the 5-2 on
running downs, the 4-3 on passing downs
and adds a special 6-5 set-up for goal line
stands,

Brescia is joined on the defensive line
by another standout, Frank Turpin. This
defensive end measures 6-3 in height,
weighs 220 pounds, and can run 40 yards
in 4,75 seconds, The other members of the
line average over six feet tall, while the
Danes do not list a single offensive
lineman over 5-11, ‘We'll try to techni-
que them," said assistant coach Kevin

The Danes can expect to stick very close
to the game plan they used against Ithaca,
Pratt spearheaded the offense with 235
passing yards in 11 completions out of 16
altempts against the Bombers, while Jim
Canfield, Ed Eastman, Bob Cohen and
Bob Jojo led a stingy 4-4 defense that
limited Ithaca to only 44 yards on the
ground.

Jojo, a cornerback, earned ECAC
Defensive Player-of-the-Week honors
after the game for his 13 tackles (including
six solo stops), a fumble recovery and a
blocked punt,

While the Danes se¥ out to increase their
record to 2-0, the Eagles are also hoping
to stay on the winning track. Brockport
dropped its season opener to Mansfield
State, a Division If teary, 31-0. The Eagles
rebounded fast weekend with the victory
over Buffalo State,

For Ford and his staff, this game carries

“to budget cutbacks
have reduced their
schedule time due

By Dave Blumkin
MAP WAITER

State and federal budget cutbacks in Work
Study and other student employment pro-
Grams have forced and schedule reductions
At the library and other campus facilities,

Also the Computing Center, Physical
Education Building, and Campus Center
have been affected by the recent budgetary
pinch. A state-wide hiring freeze has cons
tributed {0 the reductions in campus ser-
Vices, according to SUNYA officials

Eighty percent of the Work-Study
Preram is federally funded with the remain-
ing twenty percent coming from the
SUNYA budget. This year federal monies
Were cul back 26 percent trimming the
Humber of eligible students

The library, has lost approximately 600
Work hours per week, according to Director
Of Libraries Joe Nitecki

The Campus Center has also felt the im-
pact from the cuts. “At any point in time,
the Campus Center employs 20-25 College
Work-Study assistants,’” said Campus
Center Director Jim Doellefeld. “This year,
4 or 5 fewer Work-Study student assistants
Were assigned to the Campus Center than
last year.”

The number of students assigned to each
facility is not the only area being affected.
“We're not just talking physical bodies but
also the number of hours each Work-Study
student is allotted."", said Denny Elkin,
Facility Coordinator for the Division of
Physical Education, Athletics and R
tion,

In the past, the university has been able
to supplement deficiencies in Work-Study
with funds from the Temporary Service
budget. Which is used primarily to hire stu:
dent assistants,

“In the past, we've used Temporary
Vice funds as a sort of band-aid, But in
Reneral, nobody is getting more money
from this area and, in fact, they are pro-
bably getting less,"" Assistant Dean of Stu-
dent Affairs Alice Corbin said.

A direct affect of the Temporary Service
cutback is evident at the Computing
Center. ‘We use our Temporary SErvice
money {0 employ students of hightly skilled
nature," said Ben Chi, Associate Director
of the Computing Center, “Students have
Worked ere on a volunteer basis in the
past, But with our Temporary Service
money being reduced, we have less money
to pay students, With fewer students to help
Out we can't deliver as many services.!*

While Temporary Service and Work
Study cutbacks have affected student
assistants, a state employment freeze has af-
fected professional staffs. In order to fill
Vacancies, facilities must now issue a re:
quest to SUNY Central which is then for-
‘warded (0 the State Department of Budget.

“The University’s total salary budget is
being severly impacted with the net affect
being that the President has issued a direc
tive stating that a certain fraction of vacan-
‘oles haye to remain vacant,” sald Chi,

‘The Computing Center is operating with:
approximately five vacancies in their pro-
fessional staff- a 10 percent reduction from
last year,

The library is operating with approx-
imately 24 vacancies in their professional

HCE VIOLENCE

Karen Burstein, co-chair of the Gover-
nor's Task Force on Domestic Violence,
angrily addressed Albany students and
facully on the problems of sexual coercion
on the podium Wednesday afternoon.
Burstein said she “regretted that she had
to be speaking about such an unpleasant
topic,’” then proceeded (o deliver an en-
thusiastic hour long speech on the subje

Burstein, with reddened face and clench-
ed fists, explained that the primary difficul-
ty in dealing with acts of sexual coercion is
that it is a “hidden crime" rarely reported,
Burstein offered some advice on ways
women can protect themselves from sexual
abuse. ‘We can learn to be strong physical-
ly, possibly through martial arts,"’ she said.
“Also, we must learn (0 report these viola-
tions, and not to blame ourselves, We have
the right to be enraged, and to fight for our
rights.”

Burstein originally became interested in
‘working for the Women's Task Force while
she was a feminist senator in the legistature,
According to Burstein, ‘Many grassroots
Organizations called me and requested my
support in the strugale to end violpat sexual
‘crimes. This also proved you have to be in-
side and outside the system," she con-
tinued, ‘This is why I strongly believe in

Ih 1973, Ms, Burstein, in collaboration
with other feminists and advocates of
swomen’s rights, tried to amend the : New
York State rape laws, At that time, said
Burstein, “You couldn't win until you put
your bloody life on the line,” Under that
law, proof of the victim's “earnest
resistance!’ was required to prosecute,
Thevictim was forced to risk much greater
brutality and humiliation in order to meet
the proper legal requirements of resistance,
‘This injustice was an example of the com-
mon myth that women provoke rape.

This year their diligent efforts proved
successful, A law was passed removing the
requirements of ‘‘carnest resistance!” *
thereby requiring the same proof for rape as
for any other violent crime,

Pi Sigma Epsilon: the new marketing fraternity

By Ian Nissen

Another marketing fraternity that
organizes itself as a professional business is
currently forming at SUNYA. The fraterni-
ty, Pi Sigma Epsilon, is designed to provide
a link between academia and the real world,

President Billy Berne

PSE prepares for business world

according to lis leaders. PSE concentrates
primarily in the areas of marketing and
sales management.

The fraternity which now has 92 chapters
nationwide, unveiled itself here Tuesday

ur plans are to organize into an
tremely cohesive group,"? said campus P:
president Billy Berne, “Inherent in this
cohesiveness is the fact that being a member
‘of PSE will be a serious commitment," he
said

One of the objectives of PSE is to
prepare its members for jobs, according to
vice-president Eric Gorman. "'Geiting prac-
tical experience from PSE looks impressive
when you walk into job interview,” he
said,

To further help with the job search, the
fraternity is associated with Sales
Marketing Executive International, a group
of businessmen that will help establish con-
tacts and advice on employment

Although the orientation of PSE is clear-
ly towards business, membership is open to
all students, said Berne, adding that every
graduate needs business knowledge that is

“Delta Sigma Pi and PSE have different

Hiring freeze hurts RCO department

By Deb Profeta

A committee was appointed by President
Vincent O'Leary to reorganize the Rhetoric
and Communications (RCO) department in
the wake of a hiring freeze which prevented
the department from filling three full time
faculty lines,

According to acting Rhetoric and Com-
munications chair, Dr, Kathleen Kendall,
“*By freezing vacant faculty lines, no one
individual was hurt. The problem is the
department was very much hurt.’”

Kendall said, ‘‘The increasing turnover in
the department is hard for the University to
understand, It looks bad. The people are
leaving for mobility within the field, more
money and convention expenses, more
secretarial services, and a better chance of
tenure, The tenure standards are very high
here,"

RCO currently has seven full-time and
‘one part time professor. Three vacant posi-
tions have not been filled,

Acting Assistant Vice President for
Academic Affairs, Martha Rozett,
recognized that, “Most departments have
more stability. With RCO, there is a large
turn-over. When a faculty line opens up, it
becomes vulnerable to be frozen."

Rozett said two tenure tracks have been
filled, and a new assistant professor was
hired for the department with another ar-

riving in January,

“The department couldn't go on the way
it was with open lines (faculty vacancies)
and a large student demand, Communica:
tions is a mobile and popular field where
people come and go, Additionally, there is
an enormous increase in communication
majors,”

Although Rozett recognizes RCO is a
popular major, she feels it isn't necessary to
allow more majors into the department,

“We may have to tighten requirements and
introduce new pre-requisites to discourage
those not serious,"”

The RCO department is concentrating on
satisfying the needs of its graduate students,
Kendell said, “Some faculty are teaching at
the graduate level and don't have time to
teach undergraduate cources also."

Less faculty has resulted in fewer course
offerings. Discussion sections were reduc-
ed, while class sizes were increased to in-

clude as many students a possible.

“'Most courses that were not offered in
the fall will be offered in the spring’
Kendell encouraged, ‘ No courses were cut
Out permanently, They're just not offered
as often,” she said,

Kendall does not anticipate any further
staff reductions but sald the RCO depart-
ment might be moved to the School’ of
Social and Behavioral Sciences, Joint ap-
pointments of members of various depart-
ments may be made, ‘Things are in a state
of flux,"” said Kendell, ““We don’t know
What the future holds,

Kosher kitchen on Dutch expanded

By Lisa Pazer

From the frozen TV dinners that were
served 10 years ago to today's full service
facility complete with a salad bar, the UAS
Kosher kitchen on Dutch quad has evolved
into reportedly the largest college Kosher
meal plan in the country, according to
Kosher chef Jay Kollman,

The newly expanded kitchen, according
to Director of Contract Food Services, Ron.
Clough, cost approximately $20,000, and.
includes food preparation facilities twice as
large as last year. Lunch is now served in
addition to dinner, and a mini-serye line in
the front of the cafeteria replaces the ser~
vice table originally partitioned off in the

rear,

The expanded menu more closely
parallels the regular UAS menu, and
features beef and turkey versions of bacon,
liverwurst, and ham that come from local
Kosher meat outlets, The baked goods are
supplied locally and all food is made under
Orthodox Rabbinic approval,

Increased student demand for kosher
meals and the hope to lure more kosher
students to SUNYA were the main reasons
behind the move to expand the kitchen's
facilities, according to Clough, but despite
the increased capacity of the kitchen, only
Kosher students with verification letters
from their Rabbis will still be able to pur-

chase the plan, The kitchen currently serves
185 lunches and 240 dinners daily,

The student reaction to the expanded
menu and new facilities seems favorable,
Hayes Dansky, a student on the plan, says
“there is a wider selection than last year,
and it's good that its not segregated
anymore. The variety ofchoices Is the big-
gest improvement."

“The vegetables are better than regular’’
according to Ellen Dickter, while Mike
Block thinks ‘the deserts are delicious,"”

However, the lack of a dairy selection is
one problem cited by students on the plan,

Ranked Sth in the nation in productivity and among
the top twenty regarding reputation, the Schoo! of
Public Administration at the SUNYA is regarded as
One of the nation’s finest by heads of 118 graduate

programs in public administration and public affairs,
according to the SUNY News last summer.

Program administrators were polled in a study con-
ducted by the University of Oklahoma's Bureau of
Government Research in conjunction with the Univer.
sity Of South Carolina's Department of Government
and International Studies, a study sald to be the first
Atlempt to rank programs in public administration

The study, published by the American Society for
Public Administration inPublic Administration
Review, ranked schools according to their reputation
in academic circles and by the number of journal ar-
ticles published by graduate students and members of
the program's faculty,

The School of Public Administration is part of the
Graduate School of Public Affairs, which, in turn, is
part of the Nelson A, Rockefeller Collegi
Affairs and Policy, The Rockefeller
houses schools of political science and criminal justice,
4s well as many other public affairs related programs.

The graduate program for public administration was
formally established by SUNYA in 1962, according to
the Rockefeller College program guide, to “..provide
education preparation for academic and public service
careers to undertake research on significant public pro-
blems and issues and to assist in the continuing profes:
sional development, of government executives."”

Since its establishment, the program and its sister
programs of the Rockefeller College have been one of
the fastest growing schools at the University and of
major emphasis in the University system. The Mission
Statement of 1977 regarding the development of public
affairs and policy programs at the University stated
that ,..the University at Albany will place high priori-
ty on basic and applied research efforts which address
policy issues of broad public concern,"*and will sup:
port research which “...provides the necessary
theoretical base for more applied efforts.”

The Mission Statement encouraged schools and
departments of the University that could assist in the

Public Administration among best

Solution of the economic, social and scient
blems facing New York to become involved,
Phasis on public affairs has made the university's pro-
gram one of the best of its kind,

According to Warren lichman, Vice-President for
Research and Graduate Studies, the Universit

State than does any other institution, public or
private, and undertakes more public-affairs-related
research and training for New York State than all
ollier campuses of the SUNY system combined,"*

The Task Force on Public Affairs and Policy was
established by the University's President to evaluate
SUNYA's progress toward meeling the goals stated in
the Mission Statement in January of 1981, They con-
firmed in their Report (0 the President in March of
that year that the University had made considerable
progress toward these goals,

Timothy Price, a first year graduate student in the
Rockefeller College, says the faculty is a great asset in
the program, He states that the professors! approaches
are “very human’? and that they are always helpful.
He believes the programs’ emphasis on class discussion
play an important role in the value of courses and that
the issues utilized are “relevant and up to date," He
also believes the program (0 be very helpful in job
placement, and that interships promoted by the pro-
gram are helpful in procuring potential positions,

Dr, Harold W. Adams of Public Administration
concurs that job placement and preparation is a ongo-
ing priority of the program because admission to the
Public service is ‘not easy,"’ He stated that the public
service wants people who have specific practical skills
and a strong ability to think formally and analytically
to solve practical problems, Public service is highly
technical, he sald, and that the ‘‘days are over when
you could just want to be in the public service."*

Budget and job cuts as well as hiring freezes in the
public service have strongly contributed toward mak-
ing it a more competitive field, Adams said. Also,
more influence is being placed on computer science,
economies and statistics, He said a major move in this
direction occured last When the Masters Degree
program changed its requirements to include more of
these and other technical areas.

Speaking out again

In our last issue we featured an article about
rape victim’s efforts to seek help in the
University (‘Raped woman finds little
University support,’’ September 24), This
woman brought her story to us hoping that
by making her difficulties public, she could
help other victims of this violent crime by
exposing what she saw as weak spots in the
University’s support of rape victims.

She did so at no small risk to herself. It
takes courage to expose yourself as a rape
victim, to label yourself as a ‘‘yictim’’ —
especially when your attacker still attends
this school,

And she is scared of another attack. She
refuses to give us the name of her attacker,

she does, he will come after

in fear that

her again, :
In part, she has succeeded in her efforts to

help other victims. After the article came
out, Middle Barth was very concerned about
its possible involvement in the woman's dif-
ficulty finding aid. Because of the confiden-
tiality involved in a counseling service like
Middle Earth’s, no individual cases could be
discussed, but they have stressed the impor-
tant counseling services they offer rape vic-
tims. i
Middle Earth’s confidential services are
intended to help people recover from
traumas such as rape, not to build statistics,
They also admit that they are not perfect,

st the night

and that problems like the ones Ronna
Shapiro encountered are within the realm of
possibilities.

Her story also demonstrates that there is,
indeed, help for the victims of rape at this
campus. It took her some time, but she
found help from Gloria DeSole, the cam-
pus’ Affirmative Action Director. DeSole
gave her moral support, and told about her
rights under the University’s student
disciplinary system.

It is important that rape victims make
their stories known, The knowledge that
people out there can help you might help
that woman walking toward the door of the
Public Safety building to open that door in-
stead of walking home in shame. It could
help the rape victim sitting in the lobby of
the Student Health Center to wait for a doc-
tor, instead of walking out, worried that no
one will care. It could you dial the phone
number of Middle Barth (457-7588) instead
of hanging up the phone.

But when there are problems in the
University’s extensive support systems for
victims of violent crimes such as rape, it is a
mistake to pretend that no problems exist.

What we need are more people like Ronna
Shapiro — people willing to open up to im-
prove services for rape victims, and people
like Gloria DeSole and Middle Earth — who
help when it is most needed.

Striving for a better economy

President Reagan and his policies have continually
betrayed the people who placed him in the Presidency and
placed faith in his programs,

Reaganomics has dune little for the working class other
than segregate it from the consuming (rich) class. This
country is now more economically stratified than ever.

Robert Martiniano

Every aspect of Reaganomics has been ill-conceived
born on the backs of labor, and orphaned in infancy by
the Working class out of its economic woes. Not only did
the money fail to ‘trickle down!” to the working class, but
the supposed inv,

iments spurred on by this tax cut never
materialized

Reagan's policies dealing with inflation have also failed
the working class. Reagan is fighting infl
unemployment, He talks of unemplo;
percent, These are statistics and numbers to Reagan and
hiis cohorts, but reality to the people comprising the ever-
growing unemployment lines. Theoretically the trade-off
of higher unemployment for lower inflation may be
reasonable, but how much reason can one have when
feeding a family of four on unemployment insurance
Which runs out after twenty-six weeks?

America needs a sane economical policy; not one
burdensome to the working class, America needs a policy
which fights inflation and still attacks the problem of
unemployment, America needs a policy which spurs in-
vestments in manufacturing while at the same time gives
consumers the money needed to buy the manufactured
commodities, America needs a program which lowers the
amount of foreign trade entering this country and which
makes American commodities more competitive on
foreign markets, Below is an eight point program which
will accomplish these objectives:

1) The government will finance low-interest, guaranteed
loans to companies for rebuilding purposes, The govern-
ment will also provide matching funds on @ ratio basis
with a stipulation that these companies ‘must hire
unemployed workers and keep them on the payroll at least
one year.

2) A quota will be placed on all imports, Needed funds are
escaping this nation due to the negative balance of trade
with our trading partners, We need'to keep this money in

our country, helping our economy.
3) A wage and price freeze will be imposed,
stabilize the economy.

4) Optional reductions in wages for both management
and the workers. One reason our commodities are not
competitive abroad Is the cost of salaries at all levels,

5) A Job corps sponsored by the government similar to
the ones during the depression, These people would
rebuild our roads and bridges deeply in need of repair and
rebuild our inner cities.

6) An income tax based solely on a percentage of one's
income with no deductions allowed, This system would be
more equitable, Taxes on the working class would be
reduced with the rich finally paying thelr fair share.

7) A ceiling will be placed on the interest rates the
Federal Reserve charges 10 banks, This will spur private

This will help

investing and consumer buying.

8) A cut in the defense budget with a percentage of that
money going to social programs and the rest being used 10
feduce the national deficit. This cut accomplishes wo
things. It creates jobs in the private sector, and it
Stabilizes interest rates by reducing the national debt
‘These cight points, unlike Reagan's programs, deal
with all aspects of the economy. We are revitalizing

anufacturing and creating jobs but not at the expense of

ig inflation. We are bringing more dollars into the

government treasury but not at the expense of the work
ing class. We are keeping prices and wages down but not
at the expense of rising unemployment.

Most importantly, however, we havea sane economical
program constructed to benefit all—not just Reagan and
his rich friends,

Editor’s Aspect

I spent my first production night alone doing Aspects this week. It
Was a strange experience; on the one hand it was rather nice to
have all the typesetting and photography equipment available to
me at my leisure, but it seemed eerily out of place to have these of-
fices void of all the people who put this paper together. The sun
was beginning to rise as I finally left, and as! slowly hobbled over to
the bus I realized I felt lonely. | reminded myself of the poet Rilke,
who advocated solitude to those seeking an artists existence. Yes,
there are times when I do feel that being alone Is the only way I can
create anything with some semblance of seriousness, But this mor-
ning, as I caught a glimpse of a side of myself I seldom recognize, I
was overcome with a sadness that I could not just push away as
fleeting moodiness. My loneliness would not be simply cured by
sharing my thoughts and desires with another human being.
Rather, it was a sense of alienation to and from myself, a frustration
stemming from the fact that I was a very small person and there
was virtually next to nothing I could do that would change or effect
the world in any intensly positive way. Our work on this week’s
centerfold was a tude awakening to the frightening and pro-
gressively dangerous situation this world is now in. Could it really
be possible that there is not enough room for all men and women
on this vast planet? Could it be that in the midst of all nature, feel-
ings of wrath, abhorence, and the need to murder exist in people
like you and me? We are these people, Yet we can not change the
way we are living. The same full force of living is apparent in our
relatives all over the galaxy as it is In our own lives. But still it
goes. . . We are in school now, we are students preoccupied with
our own ontology, and there are no actual heirarchies that tell us
who Js right or what is wrong. We study what our horizons present
to us, and if we have the desire, we try to express our own hearts
through whatever feeble means we can. And | guess this is mine

No, this will never change the world; but acknowledging this has,
in some little and obscure way, changed me. Perhaps if we can see

into ourselves a little more we can reach out, shake each other and
see what we are doing to each other, and inevitably, all of us.

Long after the heat of passion, the “heat

Man Is born undivided. He Is neither a

‘one individual, He is both body and mind.

two polarities of something which we may
call life, energy or anything — X-Y¥-2

he situation in the Middle East is a

complex and emotional struggle of

two nations searching for a
homeland. In the last few weeks, as so many
times through history, the question of
Palestinian versus Israel autonomy has rals-
ced its ugly head, In searching for an answer
or a justification for the incidents of the past
few weeks, one must look at the troubled
history of this region and keep the present in

“The history of the Jewish people is one of

exile and persecution. Religious prejudice
‘and persecution greeted them from all
quarters as they were virtually the only
monotheistic people of their time. In 70
A.D., the Romans, after years of bloody
struggle and warfare, defeated the Jews,
captured Jerusalem, and the dispersion of
the Jews from their homeland throughout
the world began.
This was the beginning of a nearly 2,000
year trek across many countries; through the
veil of constant death and persecution the
Jews traveled but the spirit of Judaism could
not be conquered; expelled from their
homeland the Jews never failed to be faithful
to their religion or reverent in the hope that
they could some day retum. Peaceful
assimilation into a new country seldom oc-
cured or lasted long for these involuntary
nomads.

In 1897 the first Zionist Congress was
held. Zionism was formed for the sole pur-
pose of establishing an independent Jewish
state and was prompted by occurrances like
the Pogroms, murder of Jews by the Russian
military and peasants. After the first World
War the League of Nations issued a mandate
to the British to oversee Palestine and subse-
quently masses of Jewish emmigrants began
pouring into that country; about 500,000
Jews migrated there between the two wars.

The Palestinians were sill a majority,
however, and by 1939 the Jews only com-
prised about 1/3 of the Palestine popula-
tion, The British goal was not to developed
two independent nations, one Arab and one
Jewish, but to develop one unified and in-
dependent “Palestinian State”

The British Palestinian mandate of 1917
was followed by the Balfour Declaration.
This declaration expressed Britian’s intent to
support Zionist aims and shocked the Arabs
who had felt the British would support their
desire for an independent state which includ-
‘ed Palestine. Not long after this declaration
the Arabs began to fear they would be
submerged by Jewish emmigrants and anti-
Zionist riots started breaking out, serious
clashes between the Arabs and Zionist occur-
ring in 1921 and 1929.

organization

Batian also issued the 1939 White Paper
which limited Jewish emmigrants to 1500
per month til 1944 when no more would be
admitted, This forced rnany Jews to stay or
retum to Germany during World War Il.
‘WW Il and the German atrocities inficted on
the Jewish people in the pertod that has
‘come to be known as the holocust, increased
the need for an independent Jewssh state.

In 1947 the British, deciding they had

peace, referred the situation to the United
Nations. The U.N. divided Palestine into two
independent nations, one Arab and one
Jewish. The Jewish territory comprised over
half of Palestine and was way out of propor-
tion to their number; the Palestinians, cons&
quently, refused to recognize the Jewish
state and the fighting continued.

On May 14th, 1948, when the British
mandate expired and with no formal U.N.
sanction, the Jews proclaimed themselves to
be the independent nation of Israel. The
U.S. was quick to acknowledge the ex-
istence of this new Jewish state but they
received little other support. In 1949 the
Israelis took possession of all territorial bat-
lefields; 700,000 Arabs were forced out of
Israel into other Arab controlled territory.

In 1967, the Arabs and the Israelis again
went to war and the West Bank came into
Jewish possession. The Palestinians reacted
to these defeats with anger and shame
They, to0, searched for their identity in an-
lent Palestine and felt it was their rightful
homeland. Palestine, after all, had been
predominantly Muslim since the 7th century
and many religious shrines remain in that ter-
ritory.

1964 saw the formation of the Palestine
Liberation Organization. The PLO was
formed to promote and provide ideolgical
direction for the Palestinian people. Many of
the PLO members insisted on no less than
Jewish extermination, however, and, conse-
quently, the PLO has been linked to and
credited with many terrorist acts. The PLO is
composed of several different factions and
considers itself the military arm of its people.
tis recognized by the U.N. as the rightful
representative of the Palestinian people and
is their most promoinent mouthpiece.

There have been many attempts to divide
Palestine, but these attempts, unfortunately,
have almost always been foiled by the PLO's
refusal to recognize Israel. The Palestinian
population is as large as that of the Israelis,
and they fee! proposed land divisions have
always been unproportional. The Muslim
heritage is also tied up in ancient Jerusalem
and they, too, want a part of that city; now

international peace keeping force was
brought in and then withdrawn on
September 11th, when the withdrawal
agreement seemed to be working and peace
restored; it was not to last

On September 14th Lebanese president
elect, Bashir Gemayel, considered by many
to be a puppet of the Israeli government, was
assasinated. On September 15th, in clear
violation of the withdrawal agreement, Israeli
troops were reordered into West Beirut to
protect “political gains” made there. On
September 17th, “with Israeli tanks standing
guard outside, Israeli-backed Phalangist
militia moved by foot and jeep into the bat-
tered Sabra and Shatilla camps. Automatic
weapons fire could be heard from within and
women weeping hysterically...” Hundreds
‘of men, women and children were killed in
this Phalangist attack,

Many have accused Israel of being, if not
in violation of international law, at least in
violation of the ‘ethics of war’. It has been
confirmed that Israeli troops provided light
from flares for the Phalange and also provid-
‘ed them with some arms and supplies. Israel
has admitted awareness of the massacre as it
‘occured, but has maintained that by the time
they discovered what was happening, it was

Many Israelis and Jews everywhere are
horrified and ashamed of what seems to be
the Israeli role in the “massacre”. Reports of
“mass graves reminiscent of the holocust” re-
mind the Jewish people of the grave in-
justices which they have undergone.

What Rape Means

According to Webster, rape is
the “illicit carnal knowledge of a
woman without her consent, ef-
fected by force, duress, intimida-
tion or deception as to the nature
of the act,” Rape is a crime against
women, Rape is a deadly insule
against you as a person. Rape is
the deprivation of sexual  self-
determination. Rape is a man’s
fantasy, a woman's nightmare.
Rape is all the hatred, contempt,
and oppression of women in this
society concentrated in one act,
Rape is not a special, isolated
act. It is not an aberration, a
deviation from the norms of sex-
ual and social behavior in this
country. Rape is simply at the end
of the continuum of male-
aggressive, female-passive pat-

cerns, and an arbitrary line has
been drawn to mark it off from the
rest of such relationships. That
line is superficially imposed and
accounts for the tremendous con-
fusion that arises when we try to
talk about rape. Ie accounts for the
difficulty the laws and the courts
have in prosecuting a rapist. It ac-
counts for the fact that the
average person will condemn rape
as a crime eqivalent to murder,
but will have little sympathy for
the actual victim of a rape, and, as
juror, will acquit the rapist nine
times out of ten. We muddle
around trying to draw artificial
lines in the actual behavior of real
persons, and we find that i¢ can-
not be done. If it happens in an
alley, it's rape; if it happens, in

Intimidation:

bed, it's love. If the man is a
stranger, i's rape; if he’s your
date, it's love, If he hits you full in
the face, it's rape; if he merely
overpowers you, it’s love.

Rape is any sexual intimacy
forced on one person by another,
Rape differs from acceptable sex:
usl relations in one, and only one,
concrete way, One person is un:
willing and is therefore forced, It
would be possible, under our
definition, for a woman to rape a
man, We are not going to deal
specifically «with that possibility
simply because we feel that It is 80
rare in comparison to the reverse
situation that to deal with it at all
would be to overemphasize its im-
portance, There are reasons that it
is rare and they should become
clear as we go along,

What Are Women Defending Against

by Maggie Boys

The rapist is the schoolyard bul-
ly with a grown-up's weapon. It
has been said again and again that
rape {s an act of intimidation, one
person asserting power over
another. In very plain words, rape
is an extreme form of bullying.

This information is vital for
women's self-defense, because it
means that 1) we don't have to
wait for a rapist to grab us before
we start fighting, 2) since 65-75%
of rapists are acquainted with
their victims, we can learn to de-
fend ourselves against the largest
portion of rapists, and not just the
stranger-in-the-night variety.

To do this, we must expand the
meaning of the: (term
“self-defense.” Traditional self:
defense courses, those not taught
with the rapist’s motivation clear-
ly in mind, prepare the student for
situations where a fight is immi-
nent or where a physical attack
has actually begun, Occasionally,
such a course may be adapted for
the female student by mention of
rattail combs and a list of precau:
tions. Rattail combs can be useful
and taking certain precautions is
definitely the first step to suc
cessfully preventing. violent at-
tacks (see Precautions).

But even a woman well-trained
in fighting risks injury when she
must ward off an attacker much
larger than herself, And anyway,
who wants to fight if it isn’c
necessary? Furthermore, we are
still vulnerable if we do not learn
to recognize the intimidation stage
that often preceded a rape at-
tempt.

Women, therefore, have to
understand self-defense not as
something to do when grabbed on.
the street, but as a way of living
free from intimidation in our
home lives as well as on the street.

Intimidation does not always
take the form of threats. Often,
especially coming from people
(men, let’s face it) who know us,
it makes us feel we are not worth

the effort of defending. Frequently
t00, intimidation may be someone
playing on our guilt by acting
angry or offended, Another very
subtle form of intimidation is the
let-me-protect-you line, which is
essentially a way of asserting thar
you are vulnerable and he is more
powerful. These and other forms
of manipulation are used to
disarm women emotionally and

ready us for the more extreme
form of intimidation called rape,
Saying NO to manipulation in
‘our relationships with men, in-
timate or casual, can help prevent
rape,

These same forms of bullying
are used by the stanger-rapist to
select and entrap victims (see
James Sckin, Rape in Psychology
Today, January, 1975), They are
also sometimes used by muggers
for the same purpose, Who among
us has not been asked directions
from a car and, on approaching,
been assaulted with lewd remarks
or invitations to “go for a ride?”
Not always, but sometimes, the

invitation becomes an actual at-
tack, Reacting loudly and angri-
ly to such intimidation attempts
will usually convince the assailant
that you are not an easy, target,
This effectively ends the rape at-
temp before it becomes a physical
fight, Besides that, it can give you
a tremendous feeling of exhilara-
tion.

Self-defense for women,
therefore, is more than learning
how to fight, It is also learning
how to avoid the necessity of
fighting by taking precautions and
taking @ strong stand against in-
timidation.

Don’t Stop

The Presses

Sexual assaults are traditionally
under-reported crimes because of
their perceived personal nature
and the tremendous psychological
impact on the victims. A woman,
already traumatized by the attack,
may not wish to be interviewed or.
photographed, Victims know that
sensitive press treatments of rape
are rare, and sensationalized ar-
ticles are common. Rapes are
newsworthy, but victims require
privacy,

In addition, most newspapers
apply the same rigorous standards
of police corraboration to reports
of rape that they. do to other
crimes, Police have been unwilling
to confirm reports of rape because
they fear inciting a panic among
local women. This paternalistic at-
titude is not helpful; unaware of
the danger, we cannot protect
ourselves, Their official silence,
however instrumental to their in-
vestigation, hinders the publicity
that may save other women from
falling victim to the rapist.

Many of the most important
results of rape are non-events; an
attendance drop at evening classes
and activities, decreased numbers
of women using the library, a
general decline in the number of
women who participate in on: and
off-campus life, The University
‘and community lose out when
women withdraw their contribu-
tions, cease their participation, and
retreat to the locked, barred con-
fines of their rooms. Losses of this
sort are less dramatic than gains.

Journalism is geared toward
reporting events; an innovative
editor should be able to pick up
‘on those stories that are not
covered under that heading.

The aftermath of rape is a
retreat from the public eye by the
victim of the rapist and a retreat
from public life by victims of the
fear engendered in all women.
There is a tendency, also, for the
crime to disappear from the public,
eye, along with its victims, This.
must not be allowed to happen.

Ic is clear that, for these crimes,
police reports are unreliable, and
certainly not legitimate criteria of
news-worthiness. Nor do conven-
tional journalistic techniques suit
the media coverage of violence
against women, We suggest that
local media adopt an alternative
focus and regularly report the
responses of the University and
community to women’s demands
for safety and free access. It is also
important to examine the types of
media which serve to perpetuate
common myths leading to rape.
For example, an analysis of
popular music will reveal lyrics
that portray women as weak and
submissive to men, willing and
wanting to accept this position,
Popular music serves as a main
source of entertainment for our
culture; a fact which necessitates
concern about the messages it gets
across,

Other types of media which
reinforce typical attitudes of rape
include mayies and, television

Rape and Pornography: :
The Intimate Connection

by Gail Friedberg

Every year our fathers, brothers,
husbands and boyfriends con-
sume incteasing amounts of por~
nographic materials, contributing
toa multi-billion dollar a year in-
dustry, Each year the amount of
violence towards women depicted,
in pornography increases. Even in
Playboy and other softcore por-
ography magazines depictions of
violence against women have
become more and more common.
And, more widely accepted. The
recent escalation of violence in
pornography has been evidenced
in the proliferation of scenes of
bondage, rape and torture of
women for che sexual stimulation
‘of male viewers.

Tt is commonly believed that the
availability of pornography actual-
ly decreases the amount of
violence towards women. If it were:
true that exposure to pornography
provided a release for male sexual
aggressive tendencies, then the
available pornographic materials
would result in a decrease in the
incidence of rape and other acts of
violence against women. In fact,
rape and violent acts are increas-
ing even with the proliferation of
pornographic materials,

Links between pornography
and rape are easy to find in the
myths and messages com-
municated to the public chrough

ography is the main perpetrator
of myths depicting rape as sexually

Accompanying this rise of

violence towards women in por:
nography has been the real-life
rise of violence towards women. In
the 1960's alone, FBI statistics in-
dicated that rape had increased by
93%, Today, every few seconds in

ually or physically abused, And if

ing” that in actuality “all women

ography. have led the general
public'to believe that rape victims
ask for it," "gee thelt kicks out of
it," and in some way “deserve it."

Th pornography, women’s bodies
(and especially their genitals) are
displayed as dehumanized objects
to be exposed, manipulated, abus-
ed and mutilated, Because of this
objectification and dehumani

cases totally dismissed.
Pornography promotes acts of
violence against women. In one

Myth:
Ra

Rape: A

An essential factor to be con-
sidered in analyzing rape is the
issue of race, and the common
myths that are held when dealing
with this aspect. Assaults and
tapes in our community and
everywhere have been carried out
by men of all races, In fact, i¢ has
been proven that most rapes occur
within the same racial group, The
myth that only Black men rape
has kept us from identifying our
enemy and striking out, Those
who believe that their lily white
neighborhoods and suburban for-

restes insulate them from this
hideous crime are being scan-
dalously deceived, In fact, more
than fifty percent of all rape vic-
tims knew their rapist before the
attack(6) and most rapes occur in
the home, And so, it is not in
dark alleys by dark men that we
are violated, We are raped by tall

men and short men, fat and thin,

old and young, light and dark.

Few Black women who have)
been raped, particularly, if the

talk about it. This form of racism
and sexism combined is seen by
many Blacks as doubly
humiliating and degrading as a
brutal reminder of the past when
such rape was commonplace.

In the days of slavery, Black
women rationalized white men’s
desire to use them to satisfy all
their “sinful”” sexual urges, At the
other extreme, white men placed
white women’ on a pedastal_as

The existence of rape in any form
is beneficial to the ruling class of
white males. For rape is a kind of
terrorism which severely limits the
freedom of women and makes us

the act of rape, the rage that one

be deflected toward a female

People are often quite surprised
when they hear about individuals
with handicapped conditions be:

ment, molestation, incest,
assaults, obscene phone calls,
rapes, dirty remarks, and other
crimes against the person. Most
people are at once riddled with
disbeli Ision, and. other
similar emotions, Yet, the fact re-
mains that many people with
[disabilities experience those types
of crimes at a rate comparable to
or greater than the general
population. Let us examine some

* of the possible reasons why this
phenomenon occurs so frequent-

ys

Most so-called sexual crimes are
not crimes of passion, but ex-
amples of people with some
perceived or real measure of
power acting out against
someone they see as a powerless
victim. You know, “might makes
right” and all that rot. People
with disabilities are often viewed
as vulnerable, delicate, somewhat
less than perfect human beings.
So it follows that the correlate
behaviors demonstrated would
reflect that point of view.

And then we have other people
who are simply attracted (sexual-
ly and otherwise) to disabled in-
dividuals for the thrill of it; the
perverse lure of something dif
ferent. I liken that to the circus
freak show phenomenon whick
has been so popular in this and
other countries for decades.

Another prevalent attitude
which manifests into behavior is
similar to the last example. There
are some able bodied individuals
who only want to be associated
with disabled people because it
makes them feel comfortable,

igen’ The Disabled, Too

That bring:
us to the power issue, The dis
abled are viewed as a vehicle fc

demonstrating superiority. After
all, if they can’t walk, talk, see,
hear, etc,, then they must be
flawed, inferior beings. If this i
the underlying belief, then a per
son who is a social or anti-social
lacking in self-esteem and con
fidence, limited in their outlook
and perhaps somewhat perverse
in their nature, would naturally
feel like a superior being com
pared to their perception of "the
down trodden masses.”

Another possible explanation
for the behaviors we have been
examining is socio-economic in
scope. Millions of disabled
Americans are hindered in their
efforts to find gainful employ
ment, They are systematically
disctiminaced against because it
felt that they cannot perform as
well as a person withour a
disabilicy. Many are forced co live
‘on subsistence incomes in high
crime neighborhoods where they
fare constantly and repeatedly
subjected to crimes against their
person.

The last explanation I will sug
gest has to do with human
nature, the way we were brought
up. Somehow people have gotten
into the habit of asking disabled
individuals extremely personal
questions they would not dream
of asking others, After all, if we
don't view the disabled in the
same light as others, then we are
fostering behavior and attitudes
which fall beyond the acceptable
domain. We continue co separate
our disabled brothers and sisters
geographically, economically and
psychologically from society and
its norms. As a related conse-
quence, we treat them according-
ly.

secure and superior.

Fact;
56% of rapes occur in either the victims’ or assailants’
home,

Sexual
Harassment

What is Sexual Harassment?

It may include:
— verbal harassment or abuse
= unnecessary touching, patting or pinching
= leering or ogling of a person's body
— constant brushing against a person's body
— subtle pressure for sexual favors
— demanding sexual favors accompanied by implied or overt
threats concerning one’s grades, recommendations, job, perfor-
mance evaluation, promotion, etc
Sexual harassment is any repeated or unwanted verbal or
physical sexual advance, sexually explicit derogatory
statements, or sexually discriminatory remarks made by
someone in the classroom or workplace, which is offensive or
‘objectionable to the recipient or which causes the recipienc
discomfort or humiliation or which interferes with the reci
pients' educational or job performance. (Definition developed
by NOW and Working Women's Institute)

Note that although the majority of incidents invol
supervisor or co-worker harassing a woman, the law also
covers women harassing men, women harassing women and
men harassing men.

What Is The Law?
Sexual Harassment Is A Violation Of The
Law And Of University Policy

Harassment on the basis of sex is a violation of Section 703
of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Unwelcome sexual
advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or
physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harass
ment when:

1, Submission to such conduct is made, either explicitly or
implicitly, a term or condition of an individual's employment
(or education),

2, submission to or rejection of such conduct by an in:
dividual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting
such individual, or

3, such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably in
terfering with an individual's work or educational performance
or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working en
vironment.

Guidelines On Discrimination Because of Sex
EEOC Section 1604.11, November 10, 1980

In New York State, May 1981, The Governor's Office of
Employee Relations reaffirmed the importance of the EEOC
guidelines with the issuance of the "Policy Statement on Sexual
Harassment.’

President O’Leary’s Statement, Jan. 22, 1981
“The University at Albany has long been dedicated to main:
tain and foster a fair, humane, and responsible environment
for all of its students and staff, Sexual harassment has been and
will continue to be considered a violation of policy and dealt
with under the procedures which have been established.”

2, Keep a diary or log. Write down what is happening to you.
Include direct quotes, any witnesses or pattern to the harass
ment. Have your log witnessed periodically. Save any letters,
cards or notes sent to you. Keep both the log and notes in a
secure place, preferably at home.

3, Ask other people who come in contact with the harasser if
they have ever been harassed, or if they know of anyone who
left because of this behavior.

4, Tell the harasser, in writing, that you objece to this
behavior. Describe the specific things which offend or upset
you. Keep a copy of this letter.

Medical Care
What To Do

The medical attention which a
woman receives after an assault
should include three areas of treat-
ment and testing: injuries (both inter-
nal and external), pregnancy preven:
tion, and sexually transmitted
diseases,

Treatment of injuries:

This requires a thorough ex-
amination of the woman's body
for any bruises or lacerations in-
curred during the assault: scrapes
on the shoulders, back, elbows,
face and head injuries, bites, etc.
A shot of tetanus toxoid is re-
quired if there are open wounds
and if the victim has not had a
tetanus shot within five years,

Most likely a gynecological
history will be taken to find out
the age menstruation began, if
and when menopause began, type
of contraception used, and any
major gynecological infection or
surgery the victim might have
had. This information will provide
the doctor with a knowledge of
how to treat the injured person.
Also, included here will be an in
ternal gynecological examination.
Though this may be a difficult ex.
perience co endure so soon after
this assault, it is neccesary co see if
there is any damage to the exter-
nal genitals, the vagina and the
cervix. The woman will be given
both a bimanual and speculum
examination.

Pregnancy prevention:

The tisk of becoming pregnant
is rare during a Many
women already use a continuous
form of birth control (the pill

using no contraception at the time
of the assault, there are three

possible actions to take:

1, Haye a menstrual extraction
when the menstrual period is due
During a menstrual extraction, a
small plastic tube is inserted into

the uterus to withdraw the uterine
lining, If an embryo is present, it
will be removed. In the United
States, menstrual extractions can
sometimes be obtained at
women’s self-help clinics, without
proof of pregnancy, However, in
Canada, menstrual extractions are
‘only used as a form of early abor-
tion, s0 proof of pregnancy is re-
quired.

2, Wait to see if the menstrual
period is late, If it is late, a
pregnancy test should be taken 6
weeks after the first day of the last
period, This will ensure reliable
results. Some of the newer
pregnancy tests will show positive
results sooner, but they will cer-
tainly be more expensive to use.
The sooner the pre}
firmed, the easier any abortion
will be.

Sexually transmitted
diseases:

These diseases

re spread from
one person to another by some
form of sexual contact can
be passed through oral, anal, or
vaginal intercourse, Two forms
which can be most commonly
transmitted during an assault and
which have the most serious con-
sequences are gonorrhea and
syphilis

1,Gonorhea It takes about 10
days for gonorrhea co. manifest
itself, so any tests dons
ly after the assault will merely in-
dicate whether the woman had it
at the time of the attack. To make
sure that gonorrhea is not present,
it is necessary to have «wo negative
test results. These should be done
starting 2 weeks after the incident
ac one week intervals. Women

Th

should be certain that they are
tested in all areas which came into
xual contact with the assailant
= vagina, anus, mouth, and/or
throat,

2, Syphilis To test for the
presence of syphilis, a blood test
(known as a VDRL) should be
taken 4-6 weeks after the rape inci-
dent. Since 25 percent of people
tested can have “false negative”
results, it is important that the
woman have a follow-up test 3
months later.

It?s Not Your Fault

The rape was not your fault,

You are not going crazy... a
most any reaction is normal.

This is a very serious crisis
take very good cave of yourself

People's reactions may hurt you

they don't understand, and

you must listen to things that
make you feel bad

You are a victim of a crime.

You are a good woman.

You deserve all the help you
get... . ask for it.
You are not alone unless you
cut yourself off.

You will survive.

You have every right to cry,
scream and be as upset as you feel.

If you are really afraid that you
are going crazy or can’t handle
yourself, go get professional care,
no matter what anyone says,

There are organizations out
there that can help you.

You are a yaluable person.

Do whatever makes you feel bet-
ter.

This is the worst thing that's
ever happened to you . . . accept
that and act on it.

You are in no way responsible
for the rape
Hang on. Take it five minutes at
a time if you have to... « don’t let
yourself feel overwhelmed,

Try to let out — get angry at
ind in the middle
of the room and yell anything you
feel like to him as if he were there.

You are safe, even if you don't
feel it, The rape is over.

Try to find a sympathetic
woman/women and talk about it

If someone is reacting to your
rape in a way that hurts or upsets
you, stop them or get away from
them, Even if it's your husband/
lover/best friend, You come first,

Find some object (anything that
helps) to hold in your hand, if
necessary,

Try to think as clearly as you
can about what's good for you and
do it.

Make yourself talk abouc it to as
many sympathetic people as you
can,

There is nothing to be ashamed

about,

‘The woman was eighteen years
old, a college freshman and a
virgin. She had been rather strict-
ly brought up bue she was strong-
willed and was testing her
freedom, That night she went to a
fraternity party with a young man
she had dated a few times before,
‘He told her it would be a long par-
ty, lasting beyond the dormitory
closing hours, and so he had ar-
ranged for her to spend the night
with che glelfriend of one of his
fraternity brothers. After some
hesitation, she signed out over-
Night. It was the first time she had
ever done that, and it seemed ex-
citing.

The party did end very late,
When it was over, her date in-
formed her that his fraternity
brother was going to spend the
night with his girlfriend, so she
vouldn’t go there. The dormitory
hd already been closed for hours.

He offered to rent her a room in
a motel, Knowing that he would
meet with some resistance, he
talked to her for a long time,
reassuring her thar it would be all
rlghe and that he had no inten-
tlon of coming in with her. She
couldn’t go back to the dormitory
without waking her dorm mother
and taking the risk of being cam-
used. Her date really managed to
make it seem that she would be
making a fuss over nothing if she
did not accept his offer. Of course,
he played on her fears of seeming
unsophisticated and naive, And
so, not knowing how to say that
she didn’t trust him without of
fending him, she said that. she
would do it, It was really too bad,
she thought, that she couldn't
rent the room herself and leave
him in the parking lot. But she
never had much money and she
‘certainly didn’t carry the price of a
motel room in her purse when go-
ing (0 a party. Besides, she didn't
know how you went about
renting motel rooms, or whether
they would rent one to an eigh-
teen year old girl.

When they got to the motel, he
walked her to her room, She was a
little afraid of the strange motel, so
that was all right with her. But
when they got to the room, he
didn’c leave; he walked in and
closed the door behind him. She
asked him to leave, of course. He
said that he just wanted to sit
down for a minute before he drove
back to the fraternity house. He
had paid for the room, after all,
and it wasn’t very generous of her
to ask him to get out when all he
wanted to do was sit down for a
minute,

They talked for a little while, He
was very natural, casual and relax-
ed, He didn't try to do anything,
buc still she was uneasy. He came
to kiss her good night. Well, she
thought, she kissed him before
when they had gone out. So she
kissed him, trying to be firm but
friendly. That was when he push-
ed her onto the bed, pulled up her
skirt, pinned her down and raped

er,

She foughe, In face, she foughe
very hard, but she was already on
her back and {¢ didn'e do much
good, He was quite a bit bigger
and stronger that she was, At that
point, she really didn't have a
chance,

It hurt a lot. He told her to stop
moving, She said she couldn't, she
had given up the idea of fighting
him off, At no time did he seem to
be overcome with desire, He
didn't say anything nice to her,
but he didn'e anything bad either.

Only that she should stop mov-
ing. He was annoyed that she
wouldn't lle still.

Ac any time during the attack
she might have grabbed the lamp
from the bedside table and hie him
over the head, She didn't. When
it was over, he rolled over and
went to sleep. She lay on the bed
beside him, not moving, not sleep-
ing, until morning.

Do you believe that the women
in this story wanted to be raped?

The man who raped her did. In
fact he did not believe that he
had raped her, If you agree with
him, ifyou think she got what she
wanted, maybe you can suggest
when she could have started
fighting. When he said he would
walk her to her room? When he
came into the room and said he
wanted to sit down for a while
before he went back? When he
kissed her good night? The first
two are too soon, There just

wasn't any threat of rape. She
would have no reaton to start
fighting him off when he was do-
ing nothing directly threathening
to her. She might have refused to
kiss him good night, but chat
would only have brought on the
problem garlier, It wouldn't have
folved anything. By the time he
had pushed het onto the bed, it
was too late.

Or perhaps you think she
should have picked up the lamp

she could not gain control at any
time during the evening. Her fate
seems t0 be sealed, Indeed, with
these social patterns, it could be
argued that a woman's face Is seal-
ed. These patterns must
change. It is men’s sense that
women can be owned and the
women should feel obligated that
contributes to this scene.

Part of what women can do is to
refuse to accept these attitudes.
Make a fuss! Offend a date! Act
unladylike! Be assertive!

The article seems to demand

This woman, and all of us, must learn to value our own
thoughts, Instincts and needs over all else.

would have stunned him? ‘That
would have been ideal, Perhaps it
would have shown him chat she
meant what she said and that she
was not to be pushed around. Or
maybe it would just have made
him angry, angry enough to beat
her, On the other hand, ic might
have killed him. Then what would
she do! Call the police and say, “I
was in the motel room with this
guy and he tried to rape me so I
killed him’?

This story has ended here when
it has been published before. This
is very disturbing because it im-
plies that this woman had no con-
trol over the situation, and that

‘our sympathies for the man in this
situation because he was always so
reasonable, In fact, he did not
stick with any arrangements or
‘agreements toward this woman as
another human being, but as an
object for his possession,

This woman, and all of us, must
learn to value our own thoughts,
instincts, and needs over all else. It
may mean cutting an evening
short. It may mean waking up the
dorm person and getting compris-
ed, It may mean offending a date.
Compared to our personal inte-
grity and safety, what do these
matter? Women, think of
yourselves first!

The Alternatives
On Campus

by Vincent O'Leary

As you may know, since 1978 a
campus Task Force on Women's
Safety has addressed itself to con-
cerns of personal safety for women
on campus, Membership on the
Task Force is comprehensive and
includes representatives from
pus constituencies —
s, faculty and staff. A
number of programs have been in-
stituted by the Task Force to
make the campus more safe,
among some of the most impor-
tant are:

~ Increased Public Safety staff-
ing at the East Campus
(downtown)

— Improved lighting at both the
Main Campus and the East Cam-
pus

Installation of the Blue Light
Emergency Phone System at
lated and strategic campus loca
tions

— Student Patrol Escort Service

— Modification of bus schedules

— Improvement in security
measures in the women's locker
room,

Alll of these programs have in-
creased the personal safety of
women, and several of them
enhance everyone's safety.
However, not all members of the
University community are as
aware of these programs as they
might be,

To ensure that maximum
benefit is made of these services, I
feel it is necessary that all staff,
faculty and students are made
aware of these programs, Ie is
especially important that those
who either teach or attend night
classes be aware of the following:

1, If they are victims of any
type of abuse or assault, they

lighted walkways,

4, They should be aware of the
location of the Blue Light
Emergency Phone system and
public phones, Please note that
public pay phones can be used at
NO cost in an emergency merely by
picking up the receiver and dialing
the operator, The Blue Light
phones provide a direct line to the
Department of Public Safety by
simply lifting the receiver.

5, A Student Patrol Escort Ser-
vice is available by calling
457-7616,

6, Those who wish training in
self defense can:

a. Arrange to take @ course

Department,

b, Gather a group of twelve or
more and the University will pro-
vide an instructor for a two-hour:

Action Office (457-8590) to ar-
range the workshops,

c Call Gail Friedberg ac
463-3564 if you would like addi-

unable to form or join a group.

The safety of all who study and
work on the campus is a major
concern, We have undertaken
major efforts to increase personal
safety with some success and we.

When you see the word Rape do you picture
a drooling maniac with a knife in his hand,
jumping out of the bushes on a lonely street
in the dead of night

grabbing a sexy young thing, disposing of her
satisfied?

It’s hard to change that picture of rape,
composed over a lifetime from bits and pieces
of hushed conversation and locker room gossip.

Let's rearrange it according to fact:

The drooling maniac is often an acquaintance —
a neighbor, a repairman, a lover, a father,

The knife is a change in behavior,
a jerk of the arm, a threatening voice,

He doesn’e jump out of the bushes;
he's visiting, making a repair, driving the victim home
from a date, delivering a package.

Ie could be nighttime or six in the morning,
high noon or dusk.

The sexy young thing is a middle-aged homemaker,
a young boy, a grandmother, a six-year old girl, a man

He might tuck money into her pocket as he leaves
or say he'll call again,
He may not leave at all, It could be his home too.

If the assault is satisfying to him,

it is not because of the sex.

Ie might be satisfying to humiliate someone or
to show power and aggression.

Rape is a widely misunderstood crime,

Rape has not been considered a subject of
polite conversation.

It has been a source of humiliation and misplaced guile
for its victims.

Alll of us need to reconsider what we picture
when we see the word rape.

Ie’s time to think about sexual assault,

and then talk about ic with a friend, a parent,
a co-worker, a child,

Locking our doors does not stop
sexual assault.
Understanding it might.

Bbrope. From a very early age, |
most women, have thought of

Wo inen raped; L simply thought it
Toone of the many mysteries of
human nature.
Though rape and fear of rape
fare a daily part of every woman's
consciousness, the subject is so
rarely discussed by that unofficial
‘of male intellectuals (who
‘write the books which study seem-
“ingly every other form of male ac-
Hlvity) that one begins to suspect a
conspiracy of silence, And indeed,
obscurity of rape in print ex-
in marked contrast to the fre-
icy of rape in reality, for forci-
rape is the most frequently com-

Like most women, I had spent
siderable time speculating on
je true nature of the rapist.

When I was very young, my image
of the "sexual offender" was a
nightmarish amalgamation of the
bogey man and Captain Hook: he
wore a black cape, and he cackled.
As I matured, so did the image of
the rapist, Born into. the
piychoanalytic age, I tried to
“understand” the rapist. Rape, 1
came to believe, was only one of
many unfortunate evils produced
by sexual repression. Reasoning
by tautology, [concluded that any
man who would rape a woman
must be out of his mind,

Yet, though the theory that
rapists are insane is a polular one,
this belief has no basis in fact, Ac-
cording to Professor Menachim
Amir’s study of 646 rape cases in
Philadelphia, Pattems in Forcible
Rape, men who rape are not ab-
normal. Amir writes, "Studies in-
dicate that sex offenders do not
constitute a unique or
psychopathological type; nor are
they as a group invariable more
discurned than the control groups
to which they are compared."

Alan Taylor, a parole officer
who has worked with rapists in

the prison facilities at San Luis
Obispo, California, stated the
question in plainer language:
"Those men were the most nor-
mal men there, They had a lot of
hang-ups, but they were the same
hang-ups as men walking out on
the street.”

Another canon in the
apologetics of rape is that, if it
were not for learned social con-
trols, all men would rape. Rape is
held to be natural behavior, and
Dot to rape must must be learned,
But in truth, rape is not universal
to che human species. Moreover,
studies of rape in our culture
reveal that, far from being im:
pulsive behavior, most rape Is
planned, Professor Amir's study
reveals in cases of group rape (the
"gangbang" of masculine slang),

percent were planned; in pair
rapes, 83 percent were planned
and in single rapes, 98 percent
were planned, These figures
should significantly discredit. the
image of the rapist as a man who
is suddenly overcome by sexual
needs’ society does not allow him
to fulfill,

Far from the social control of
rape icing learned, comparisons
with other cultures Jead one to
suspect that, in our society, it Is
rape itself chat is learned, (The fact
chat rape is against the law should
not be considered proof that rape
isnot in fact encouraged as part of
our culture.)

The notion that rape is enjoyed
by the victim is*also convenient
for the man who, though he
would not commit rape, enjoys
the idea of ts existence, Rape con-
firms that enormous sexual poten-
cy which he secretly knows to be

his own, It is for the pleasure of

the armchair rapist that detailed
accounts of violent rape exist in
the media, Indeed, many men ap
pear to take sexual pleaure from
nearly all forms of violence,
Whatever the motivation, male
sexuality and violence in our
cultute: seem’ to be tnsepersble:

In the spectrum of male
behavior, rape, the perfece com
bination of sex and violence, is the
penultimate act, Erotic pleasure
caninot be separated from culture,
and in our culture, male erotcism
is wedded to power, Not only
should a man be taller and
stronger than a female in the
perfect love-match, but he must
also demonstrate his supeior
strength in gesutres of dominance
which are perceived as amorous,
Though the law attempts to make
a clear division between rape and
sexual intercourse, in fact the
courts find it difficulr to
distinguish between a case where
the decision to copulate was
mutual and one where a man
forces himself upon his partner.

And if the professional rapist is
to be seperated from the average
dominant heterosexual, it may
mainly be a quantitative dif
ference, For the existence of rape
4s an index to masculinity is not
entirely metaphorical, Though
this measure of masculinity seems
to be more publicly exhibited
among “bad boys" or aging bikers
who practice sexual initiation
through group rape, in fact, “good
boys" engage in the same rites co
prove their manhood. In
Stockton, a small town in Califor-
nia which epitomizes. silent-
majority American, a bachelor
party was given (in the early
1970s) for a young man about to
be married, A woman was to
dance "topless for the amusement
of the guests. At the high point of
the evening, the bridegroom-to-be
dragged the woman into a
bedroom: No move was made by
any of, his ‘companions to ‘stop
what was clearly going to be an at-
tempted rape, Far from it. As the
woman described; "I tried to keep
him away — told him of my
Herpes Genitalis et cetera, but he
couldn’e face the guys if he didn’t
screw mes!" After the bridegroom
had finished raping the woman,
and returned with her to the pare
ty, far from chastising him, his

friends heckled the woman and
covered her with wine,
One should not assume,

however, that a woman can avoid
the possibility of rape by simply
behaving. Though myth would
have it that mainly “bad girls’ are
raped, this theory has no basis in
fact, Available statistics would
lead one to believe that a safer
course is promiscuity, In a study of
rape done in the District of Col-
umbia, it was found chat 82 per-

Do you think the American press is giving
the Issue fair coverage? Some feel they're
leaning towards the Polestinian side

It's not the question of whether they're lean

ing towards the Palestinian side or to the
Israell side. It is a question of interpretion,
and the emphasis given in the media to this
whole Issue, I feel, raises some very serious
charges of a double standard, so that the
issues may be reported on, but the weighing
and the interpretation of those issues is
where I believe there is a real media credibill-
ty problem.

May I infer thot you believe that they, focused
on the sensationalism of the massacre and
disregarded the broader issues?

1 would say that the massacre in a number of
‘ways proves to be a good example of this
case in point. First of al, the initial reports of
the number killed were exagerated:I don’t in-

tend to belittle the value of human life and
don't believe the loss of human life should be
‘a case of comparing numbers, but | think
there was a kind of emphasis placed on Israel
‘as if it were unconcerned about what hap-
pened. Israel is a democracy and the people
in a democracy respond: the Israelis
responded and { think that in hind sight, the
American media almost had to take a step
back and swallow what they put forth in the
early stages. | think that the society has
eee ‘and I think the administration in
|{Israel has responded to them

Do you think Israel bears any responsibility
for the massacre?

I hope the formal conduct of Inquiry will
determine that

Do you think there 's any way Israel can
secure her borders or will there always be
upheaval?

I'm an optimist and 1 think we saw in the
Israel-Egyptian peace accord at Camp
David, really the first steps towards an accep-
tance by the largest and most Important of

the Arab states; it accepted Israels existence
‘and worked out a plan where It would return
territory, and that's hopel I think that is the
best example and most positive statement
one can make - that if the other Arab states
could accept or would accept Israe!'s right to
exist then the same kind of arrangement
could be made in the other situations.

Do you think that Israel will be content to
withdraw from Lebanon now?

I think that issue is based on whether there is
fa simultaneous withdrawel by Syria from the
Baaka Valley. If the Syrians and the Palest

nians that remain in the valley withdraw, the
Israelis have said publically they would
withdraw, I think it's Just a matter now of
negotiated resolution.

Do you recognize the Palestinians right to a
homeland?

I personally believe very firmly that the
Palestinians have a right to a home. It's a
great tragedy that for over 34 years the Arab.
government and PLO have elected to take a
course of non-recognition and non-
acceptance of Israel's presence in the region
and have used wer rather than other
peaceful options for solving the problem

‘And have used the refugees, the Palestinian
refugees, as a kind of pawn In this game.

They sit in those camps thorughout the Arab
world as a kind of visible symbol of the Arab
‘world's unwillingness to even address the
‘problem and just use it as a political and
‘military kind of tool. I's tragic; they're play

‘ing with human beings who have a place and
fa right to be a part of this great thing they call
ithe Middle East. People have forgotteii that
\n 1947 there was a partition plan which call-

The album, entitled ‘Security’, demonstrates that Gabriel
continues {0 be one of the most progressive, intelligent, and talented
persons on the rock musle scene. Ever since he began his recording
career (at the ripe old age of seventeen) as lead vocalist and
‘songwriter for Genesis, Gabriel has consistently combined Intriguing

Not that things Have always gone well for Gabriel: his previous
album Peter Gabrie Ill was very neatly unreleased in this country
because Allanilc Records was convinced of iis lack of commercial}
potential, As it tums out, the joke was on them, Mercury Records
took the album, and promoted it with the release of ‘Games Without
Frontiers’ as a single, and found thal they had a success on their
hands. The album helped establish Gabriel's solo career after his his
first two albums, although critically acclaimed, met with small com
mercial success, Gabriel had demonstrated that commercial success

was not the over-riding concern of his career when he shocked the
music world with the announcement of his departure from Genesis
just as they were about to break Into world-wide recognition and
financial solvency. Genesis had been a cult band up 10 that point
(thelr first album sold less thon 600 copies when Initally released)
‘and Gabriel felt constrained by the limitations inherent in @ band. He
‘Was given great creative reign by the other members of the band in the
creation of the eple ‘Lamb Lies Down on Broadway’, and he realized
that i he stayed with the band, he would have to sacrifice his newly
found {readom. Apparently.the other band members resented the
theatrlealiy of his perfomances with them, which they fel distracted
the audience from the music. and were concerned by the increasing
dominance of his influence on thelr music

that he Is inconsistant, on the contrary, he is consistantly eniametic

album and his last. namely heavy rellance upon rhythm and percus
sion, used in unique ways

This record's preoccupation with rhythm is understandoble becouse
this is something of a theme album, the theme being the primitive and

Family ond Fishing Net portrays a modern wedding ceremony as a
rilual sacrifice, right out of the pages of The Golden Bough. “Rhythm
of the Heat” is more direct 11s a portrayal of a shamanic inbal dance.
Gabriel has managed to penetrate to the heart of what \s sacred and
primal without invoking specificities, the imagery ean call to mind the
traditions of the American Indian, the Australian Aborigine, the
Polynesian, the pre-Chrisian European pagan. all in one. He deals
With the root archetypes which underlie culture, and effectively unify
the human experience. Gabriel sees civilization as a thin veneer over
tn abyss of instinct and ancestral memories

Instead of this vision being horrible as in Conrad's “Heart of

nimalistic. olive. The spirit and the flesh are one, the earth and the

blood are one, The alienation of modern life ies in the inability to ins
egeate or recognize this inheritance which we share in

This is pretty heavy stuff for rock and roll, but the theme isnt the
only fascination of this album; there's the music! The entire work is
predominated by the use of the Fairlight CMI (Computer Musical In
stument), state of the ait technology which makes older synthesizers
sound like doorbells by comparison. The gist of the instrument's dif-
{orance is that one can reproduce virtually any sound (or other instru
ment) with it, and alter it in just about any way imaginable. Example:
one may break a lightbulb into a microphone attached to the Fairlight.
which would digitally record the characteristics of the sound, and
assign it to the piano style Keyboard, One could then play the instru»
ment and sound as if one were breaking a series of properly tuned
Jighibulbst Then the computer gives almost unlimited power to alter
the sound fo taste, even so far as combining it with other sounds; say
“Hello” into the mike, and play a keyboard full of lightbulb-Hellos
The resultant sound ls not the same as the sound of "Helio" recorded
(on tape over the sound of a lightbulb (although the Fairlight is capable
‘of multtracking, too), but is instead a combination of the sounds. The
Fairlight 1s basically the ultimate dream instrument, and the sound
quality of the digital instrument Is outstanding. This album is recorded
digitally, so the CMI and the other conventional instruments and
vocals are as crisp and clear as vinyl will allow.

The total effect of this album Is both visceral and unworldly I's ac

whole, one 1
Gabriel is not monkeying around

The fist song "The Rhythm of the Heat” sets the tone for the entire
album, It tells the story of an observer who becomes possessed by the
Jrhythm of a civilization and a culture. In short, powerful- yet, just the
beginning. "Sen Jacinto" tes the story of an Indian who Is dying. He
follows a medicine man up the San Jacinto Mountain in Southern
California “Past Sit'n' Bull steakhouse/ white men dream.” and per-
forms a death ritual, We ossume he dies but the song ends with the
stirting chorus of "We will walk- on the and/ We will breathe: of the
alr/ We will drink: from the stream/ We willlive-hold the line.” This
Isa major point In the Gabriel album (and one is contained in each
song $0 that the final song “Kiss of Life” makes a stunning
summation). There will be survivel- the culture will not be absorbed
and assimilated, It will retain its strength and Ife force: it will hold the
line

Have the Touch” Is nicely juxtaposed with the first two songs
Here (s the literal social creature and a chronicling of his actions, He
seems to be saying that we aré instinctive animals: we stil operate on
2 primordial system of contact (this contact being used a motive for
acction: social and otherwise.) We do not meet a human though, The
song begins by describing the electricity passed by a fleeting glance of
contact but when it becomes personal rather than anonymous the
"being" has...all hat {ur and all that halr/ Oh, do I dare... have the
touch," Its the contact of two cultures, Gabriel wants to convey to us
that there is more to this being than fur and hair. There's a heart that's
pumping the sama blood through veins the same as urs. The first step
towards coalescence Is through the reaching out and the contact that
‘occurs, When one the courage to do so. "I need contact/ Nothing
seams 0 please/I need contact.”

“The Family and the Fishing Net” s a phenomenal song, It tells the
story of a wedding rite as if it were seen through the eyes of western
Culture, [ts terfying and grotesquely sexual. "Light creeps through
her secret tunnels/Sucked into the open spaces/ Burning out in sud
den flashes/ Draining blood from will-ed faces.” Rife with psycho
sexual images, the song seems to corrupt a simple ceremony with the
Freudian disease that has become an almost religiously infectious part
of western life, It Is a subtle point he makes in a song filled with
subtleties and subtle distinctions ("The body and the flesh.") The song
ends with the cutting of a wedding cake but by songs end, the cutting
becomes a cannabllstc rite, “Nervous hands grip tight the knife/ In
the darkness, till the cake Is cut./ Passed around in litle pleces/ The
body and the flesh./ The family and the fishing net." Jerry Marotta’s
drumming is amazing; acting out the words and transforming the song
Into a visualized image. An important “character” is intorduced in this
song in the lines “Memories crash on tireless waves/ The lfegaurds
whom the winter saves."He reappears in "Kis of Life

The second side opens with "Shock the Monkey”, the single releas
ed for FM oitplay. This isthe theme song for the album. The exam
Of the monkey used for scientific experimentation is whet Gabriel is
talking about. Assuming the monkey is an ancestor of modern man,
how hypocritical and heinous it is of us to torture it for the sake of
Knowledge. This feeling of vicarious observation touched on in “The
Family and the Fishing Net” is spelled out the Monkey
This song Is a warning: not a malevolent one but a reminder that the
monkey is as human as the human torturing it. “There is one thing
you must be sure of/ I can't ake anymore.” Gabriel speaks for human
‘and animal ("the body and the flesh’) in that time.

The second side signals a change in perspective. The first side
Points out and labels our “crimes” against an “uncivilied” culture
and the second side gives room to that uncivilized culture, "Lay your
Hands on Me" js the “The Family..." from the viewpoint of the one
being observed. The hypocrites and grotesqueries are duly noted.
“I'm living way beyond my ways and means, living in the zone ol the
Inbetweens.../working In gardens, thornless roses, fat men play with
thelr garden hoses.” The “native” touched in “I Have the Touch” now
sits in a chair at a garden party buffered by the space of a cultural ber-

Whatever despair the reader senses -- and
this is Toole’s success -- comes solely from.
Ignatius J. Reilly's outrage at his place in
the world and his half-hearted attempts to
fit into it

His place is New Orleans, and from the
moment we meet Ignatius we realize this is
a lucky break for him, although he doesn't
know it, In a city known for its Mardi Gra:
sian, anything-goes atmoshphere, our fat
and sloppy hero, plagued by a faulty
pyloric valve that shuts painfully in the face
of degeneracy, who farts and belches in
public and consumes dozens of foot-long
Wieners at a sitting, Is regarded as just
another specimen of oddball, if a bit bigger
and smellier

Sound like the type of boy you'd like to
bring home to mother? Hardly. But -» and
this is a big but -- Ignatius’ repellent looks

good enough to be given a recording con
tract. In the late spring of 1981, they
released "Who Can It Be Now?" (their cur
rent hit here), and back then down there it
spent many weeks in the top five, finally
certifying gold, The second single, "Down
Under," released in November of '81 top

Their album, Business As Usual was releas
ed in the States in early May, The band is
really hitting it big, not only among pro
gressive music fans, but among the masses.

The most distinct part of the Men At

Hay's voice. At different points on th
record, he reminds a listener of Carlos
Santana, Steve Winwood. Sting of the
Police, and the late Bon Scott of AC/DC
At some points, he’s all of the above and
even more. Hay dominates on the Iyric

In response to the lead article in the September,24 issue

Dof the ASP, 1 would like to comment on some of the ac-
tivities of the President's Task Force on Women's Safety
Which demonstrate a strong commitment by the University
fo the concerns of women,

Four years ago, in response (0 concerns about the safety

of women on this campus which were expressed by
Members of the campus community, President O'Leary
established the President's Task Force on Womens Safely.
The members of the Task Force include representatives
from student’s organizations and the University ad-
ministration as well as individual students and staff who
share the concerns of the Task Force, Since its inception,
the Task Force has worked toward ensuring that the
University at Albany provides an environment in which
‘women, indeed all members of the campus community, can
study and work safely, A dedicated, energetic group, the
Task Force has been extremely effective, Among their
improved lighting on both
‘campuses and Alumni Quad, installation of the Blue Light
Emergency Phone System, increased sensitization and
patrol by campus police, creation of the SUNYA Escort
Service, campus-wide self defense courses for women,
publication of the Rape Supplement’’, promotion of safe-
ty precautions, and information on women's safety
resources through the distribution of posters, brochures
and cards, The posters and cards provide telephone
numbers for services such as SUNYA Escort Service,
University Police, the Rape Crisis Center, and the SUNYA
Counseling Center.

Not included in this impressive list of accomplishments is
perhaps the most important product of the labor of these
dedicated’ members of the community-a unified ef-
fort by various campus constituencies toward a common
goal, The drawing together of the many talents and energies
of various groups and focusing those resources toward im-
proving the well being of all is certainly one of the most im-
portant achievements of any group, be it a Task Force or an
entire society,

The most recent example of this cooperative relationship
at work is the Women's Safely Awareness Days and
Women's Solidarity Day Program held September 29th
through October Ist. A great deal of effort put forth by
members of the President's Task Force on Women's Safe:
{y, the Feminist Alliance and the Student Association, with
the support of many others, resulted in a program of great
value to the entire campus community.

While all of the Task Force's activities will not be as well
publicized as the Women's Safely Days Program, the T
Force will indeed continue to work toward the goal of a
safe and secure environment for all who share this campus
and welcomes the involvement of other groups and in:
dividuals in the effort

Chair, President's Task Force on Women's Safety

Brown’s defense

To the Editor:

Tam writing in response to an article in the A/bany Stu-
dent Press issue of September 24, 1982 dealing with the
topic of rape, and providing readers with a reporter's view
of one student's feeling about University support systems. 1
find the headline of the article particularly disturbing in
light of the many support systems for women which exist
on our campus; thus, the ASP scems to convey {0 its
readers that the University is unconcerned about rape and
that there are few, if any, support systems in place. This is
‘not the case, and I urgently request that you print this letter
in your next edition in order to provide your readers with
accurate information

Initially, 1 want you to know 1 understand that the
reporter had limited access to information, since several
persons interviewed are bound by a pledge of confidentiali-
ty and do not review or reveal details of a case as a matter
of principle and-or professional ethics. Thus, the reporter
in this specific instance found it necessary to base the report
essentially on the statements of one person. As an outcome,
the article lacks balance, and given my direct knowledge of
the case, it is both incomplete and misleading.

For the record, the University cares deeply about
safely—especially the safely of women. President
O'Leary's Task Force on Women's Safety (established
three years ago) stands as strong testimony to that.

Both the Student Health Service and the University
Police Department are well trained and there are establish-
ed protocols in place in both areas 1o provide timely and ef-
fective support and action for victims of rape and-or sexual
assault, One key issue, however, is immediate reporting by
the victim, in order that maximum use of resources beyond
the campus can be utilized, There arc established and effec-
tive relationships among the University, the Albany County
Rape Crisis Center, area hospitals, the District Attorney,
and other support mechanisms.

In my view, rape is a violent crime, Victims deserve im-
inediate, supportive, and caring professional assistance in

order to provide the legal, medical, and psychological sup-
port which is so critical,

I believe that our University has mechanisms in place to
provide this maximum support when violent crimes of this
hature are quickly brought to the attention of those best
sulted to assist.

The last point 1 wish to make deals with a quote at-
tributed (0 me in the articte of September 24, The quote is
grossly incomplete and inaccurate; it represents a distortion
of the lengthy explanation and background which I provid-
ed for the reporter. The points that need to be clearly stated
are these: rape, a serious crime, is a felony. The
University's student-disciplinary system is neither designed
nor equipped to deal with felonies such as rape or murder.
Allegations involving such serious charges must be dealt
with through the duly-established procedures and protec-
tions of the criminal justice system, The on-campus
judicial-disciplinary system is useful and effective in resolv-
ing alleged violations of the rules and regulations duly
established by our University Council, This on-campus
system operates under the procedures established, The
parameters of that system do not include serious felonies
such as those mentioned above, This statement in no way
negates the important responsibilities of University units

suicl as the University Police Department and the Student ,

Health Service in assisting students and others to have full
ficcess 10 thelr rights and protections as citizens under the*
broader system of justice which lies beyond the campus,
—Neil C, Brown
Dean for Student Affairs

In researching the article mentioned above ‘'Raped woman
Sinds little University support" (ASP, September 24), the
reporter — news editor Teri Kaplowitz — spoke to Assis-
tant Director of Police John Hennighan, Middle Earth's
Counseling Coordinator Margot Miglins and Coodinator
Dave Jenkins, Affirmative Action Director Gloria DeSole,
Student Health Director Janet Hood, and Neil Brown
himself, Kaplowitz retraced Shapiro’s steps in order to find
out exactly what happened. Because of professional con-
Jidentiality, none of the people she interviewed could
direcily address Shapiro's case, but each gave insight (0
problems rape victims face. The reporter based her story on
interviews with many people, not just one, Ed,

Middle Earth’s reply

To the Editor:
Womans’ Safety Awareness Days occured this past week
demonstrating the importance of conciousness raising
n the university for women's safety, There is a need
for these kind of programs at SUNYA, Sexual harrassment
and rape do exist on campus as indicated in your Sept. 24
issue of the ASP, Teri Kaplowitz wrote about a rape victim
and the lack of concern and support within the university in
dealing with her case,

References were made to Middle Earth, a student run’
counseling center on campus, but we were not depicted as a
service empathetic to viclimized women, Middle Barth is an
Organization concerned with rape victims and their needs,
Phone counselors receive extensive training throught one
semester in crisis intervention for crises such as rape, drug
overdose and suicide, Whether it is five minutes or five
months after a rape, a victim can find support and
understranding within Middle Earth on any issue whether
to prosecute a rapist,

It is difficult for us to defend our name and reputation
since we hold elient confidentiality as atop priority. Break-
ing a confidence would be undermining the philosophy

Fire safety

To the Editor:

‘Asa concerned RA and student living on campus under
the new fire safety policy, I find it necessary to reply to the
letter that appeared in the Sept, 14 edition of the ASP , by
Madelyn EI Kelstein, Although Miss Kelstein’s letter
brought up an important topic — the new fire safety policy
= believe that her position that the policy is dangerous is
unjustified,

For those of the student body unfamiliar with the new
fire policy, the procedure is as follows: When an alarm is
sounded, each individual is responsible for awakening and
Jocating his or her suitemates, They are to then vacate the
premises and to assemble in a previously designated area,
The RA's of cach section, although they do not open each
and every suite and room door, cover their entire section by
knocking no less than five times on each door while
shouting that there is a fire, The RA's then proceed (0 the
areas where their sections have assembled and ask each
suite if there is a person missing who may possibly still be in
the building, In the event of an actual fire, the RA would
alert the firemen that a person Is missing from, for exam-
ple, suite 206, and may possibly be in the room, and the
firemen will check these rooms first,

In Miss Kelstein's letter she stated that she was shocked
0 discover that RA's will riot be going into every room ¢o
check for people who *'may not have heard the fire alarm
or who may not have thought it necessary to leave,"" For
those who did not hear the alarm, this is where sultemates,
who are most likely (0 care about each other's well being,
will look out for one another and take responsibility for
themselves, In the future, when we all leave SUNYA and
begin living our individual lives, there will not be another
person constantly watching over us ready to grab and
literally push us out of a burning building. As for those
who feel that it is unnecessary to leave, 1 direct you to the
fact that if you hear a fire alarm, you LEAVE! Miss Kels-
tein states that “if they (the students) are caught in their
rooms by an RA, they could be in big trouble,”” The whole
purpose of the safety system and its drills is to protect you,
the student, It 1s not designed to give Judicial Board
members something to do with their spare time,

With almost all students at SUNYA age 17 on up, 1
belleve we are past the stage where safety systems are y
ed with the attitude that “if I don't leave my room those
RAs and RD's are going (o yell at me and I'll be in big
{rouble."” Miss Kelstein states, “Once people understand
that no one will come looking for them, they will remain in
their suites."’ 1 give the student body more credit than that.
Personally, 1 would not risk my life and the lives of my
suitemates because | heard an alarm, knew I would not get
Seaught'", and therefore stayed in a potentially burning
building.

The focus of the new fire policy is on the responsibility
we all have to look after our own lives and the lives of the
people we care about. This policy attempts to, and I believe
fs successful in, its ultimate goal; The maximum possible
safety of every student in the event of a fire,

Hynes estimated the final cost of
the renovation to be between

changes, Some faculty members
described the new dining room as
“pleasant,!*others praised the light

UAS is not quite at the ‘break
even point” with The Patroon
Room, according to Hynes, One
employee says this Is because the
prices are less expensive than retail
restaurants, which adds to the
room's popularity,

Besides the lunch business, the
foom averages about 3 parties a
week, Hynes said, University groups
can hold affairs in the room and
have UAS serve up such dishes as
Beef Burgandy, Piemontaise oy
Roast Duckling with orange sauce,

To complement the new interior,
the new lunch menu has been im-
proved, Hynes sald, It now offers
such dishes as ‘Shrimp Florentine'*
and a ''Fettucine Du Chef"?

Lunchtime business has been im-
proving, Hynes observed. The hard
data is not in yet, he says, ‘but
from the feel of things business is
up around 25 percent," He says this
increase Is similar to the increase
that happened after the food service

Netters lose sec

ond straight

By Randy Roth

A struggling Albany State women’s tennis team
returned to action Wednesday only to suffer their se-
cond consecutive setback, losing decisively by a $-2
score to visiting Union College, On Saturday the
Danes had also experienced defeat, on that occasion
by a score of 6-0 against Vermont,

Albany coach Jim Serbalik predictably was not very
happy about the outcome of either match, ‘1 was not
very pleased,”” he said, “We did not play well at all,'*

The Union match certainly served as a case in point,
Many of the Danes appeared rather sluggish and thelr
play was lackluster at best, with the exception of
singles players Sandra Barrelle and Ellen Yun. Bar-
relle, assigned (o the third singles spot, easily defeated
her opponent, Union's Rita Lindenburg, by identical
644 scores. As far as a confident Barrelle was concern
ed the result was never in doubt,
played very well and moved the ball around ex
actly like 1| wanted to," she sald, "It wasn’t a tough
match and I never felt (hreatened,""

Coach Serbalik had nothing but praaise for Barrelle,
“Sandra has been playing very well lately and it show-
ed today,’ he said,

Ellen Yun, Albany's other victor, was involved in
the longest match of the afternoon with Union's Alissa
Calabria, Yun prevailed in the three-set affair by
scores of 6-4,4-6,6-2,

“Ellen's making tremendous strides,"? Coach Ser-
balik observed. “If she can continue (o be patient and
hit consistent ground strokes from the baseline she will
be very successful."

Besides Yun and Barrelle though, none of the Danes
were able to win a match. Albany lost three of the five
singles, and both doubles, Barrelle attributed her
team’s overall performance to the fact that they
regarded the weaker Union team too lightly, “We
underestimated them,"* she said later, “and that hurt
us a lot.'”

The Eastern Collegiates will be held today thru Sun-
day in Binghamton with the top players from teams in
the East meeting to compete. Joan Phillips is slated to
Tepresent Albany in singles play while Barrelle and

Great Dane Fan of the Week

Get psyched Great Dane fans - ASP sports is go-
ing to do something about student apathy besides com-
plain. In an attempt to spark up some SUNYA spirit,
‘The Great Dane Fan of the Week has been created.

Some real credit will finally be given where credit is
due, The special spectator who is screaming extra loud,
dressed in some wild outfit, or brings some special
prop will be spotted out of the crowd and be recogniz-
ed. A picture in the paper and a Great Dane painter's
hat will be the fan's recognition,

Bennie Siegel, the number one Dane cheerleader for
almost two decades, is a perfect example of the quality|
fan. Siegel, who's formally titled equipment manager
for the athletic department, can always be found|
leading the screams at Albany sporting events,

The Pep Band Is another display of Dane spirit at its
best. The group of loyal Dane supporters can be heard
blaring their trumpets, beating their drums, and
tooting thie kazoos at football and basketball games,

Yes sports fans it’s time to get off your hind quarters:
and yell louder than ever for the Great Danes of

jAlbany. Each and every player clad in purple and gold

There's something extra about a local rivalry. On the
schedule the game fits in like any other, but on the playing
field there's something more, The players feel it und the
fans vith sense it; there fs usually electricity in the air, These
are the makings of @ fine rivalry

Tomorrow the Capital District will be treated to its
newest collegiate rivalry, and it will be battled right here on
University Field, Possessing a third place Division III na:
tional ranking, the undefeated Aibany State Great Danes,
coming off a resounding victory aver the Brockport Eagles
30.0, luke on the also undeleated Union College Dut
chien, Both teams have identical 2-0 records,

“Ht has become a big rivalry beeause we're making it a
big rivalry," sald Dane head couch Bob Ford, "*f would say
that last year they (Union) had an average Division 1] Foor
ball (eam and we had @ good Division U1 football team, but
We let them beat us, They deserved to win,”

Last year, the Albany-Union contest way the first
meeting between the two teams in several decades. It was
supposed to haye been a one-sided affair. The Danes were
3.0 at the time and, coincidentally, had a third place rank
ing in the Division 111 national polls. Further, the Dut
chmen didn't seem 10 have the talent needed to stop the
high-flying Danes, When the game way over, however,
there was celebration in Schenectady (Union territory) and
despair in Albany. Union defeated the Danes 10-7.

This season (ings are a little bit different, Particulaely
the Dutchmen. A vastly improved team this season Over
last, Union, under the direction of new head vouch Al
Hagnoli, has jumped out (0 their best start in twelve years:

They are for real this year," sald Ford, The Duichmen
demolished Hobart 49-14 last week after defeating
Rochester 28-7 In thelr season opener, “They have an ex:
gellent Division It football team.”

Union runs a high powered offense mixing up several
formations in order to confuse opposing defenses. *They
make the best use of their personnel through thelr forma:
tions (mostly the I and T),!" said Dane assistant coach
Kevin Guyette, ‘They are deceiving.

This deceptive offense {s led by quarterback Dan
Stewart. A good passer, the $-10, 170-pound Stewart can
sprint out of the pocket or drop back and hit his receivers
on long patterns for big gains, In Union's two victories
Stewart has compiled 307 passing yards and four

touchdowns,
Stewart likes to throw to his S-ll, 175-pound burner Walt
Frederick, ‘He runs discipline routes,"* sald Guyette of the
senior, who has caught five passes for 95 yards this season,
Stewart's other favorite receivers are Kevin Gibbons,
Frank Kraft a Hi Kellaher, all who stand over 6-0,
cllaher leads the team in receiving with six catches for 125

Steve Bodner, 6-3, 220 pounds, the Dutchmen employ the
“shit and hunt principle," according to Guyette. ‘They
each have a man assigned to hit, then they read his action
and move to the ball,”” he explained

The defense is supported by a strong secondary. ‘The
entire secondary is very tough and talented,"’ said Guyette.
Dominating that region of the field is free safety George
Oberstadt and Tim Wade, a 6-1, 195-pound monster at the
strong safety position.

*\We can expect a very physical game because they're a
physical team defensively," Guyette added. We're not go-
ing to make any changes in our offense. There's no reason
for us to change now, We've been successful, but the

Booters drop two games but still remain intact

SAPP WRITER.

The Albany Stale men's soccer team has survived the
toughest part of their schedule, A bit loose at the seams,
but still intact,

The Danes dropped two games last week, 4-0 (0 Cortland:
and 5-0 to Hartwick, following their hard fought victory
over Plattsburgh last week, putting their record at 2-2-1,

The Danes were expected to lose on Wednesday at home
to former Division 1 national champions Hartwick. The
Warriors, coming off tough losses to Clemson and St,
Francis, took out their frustrations on the Albany squad in
@ rough match.

Hartwick moved out (0 an early 3-0 lead on goals by Dan
D'Angelo at 9:14. The Warrior's leading scorer Eddie
Hawkins netted a disputed goal at 15:19 and Mike Lopoyda
closed out the first half scoring at the 20:14 mark.
Hawkins! goal was scored on a play that appeared to be
off-sides. Albany coach Bill Schieffelin and Dane players
Vehemently protested the counting of the goal.

Hartwick controlled the tempo of the entire game, out
shooting Albany 17-1. The Danes seemed in awe of their

jonally known rivals at times, giving the ball away to
create numerous scoring opportunities for the Warriors.

D'Angelo scored his second goal of the game 24 minutes
into the second half and Pat Cruickshank closed out the
scoring nine minutes later heading the ball past goalie Mike

Tempers flared in the second half with two players

Scott Smith by punching Smith in the face, Morales was
ejected from the game. Smith only received a yellow card.
Later in the half, Warrior Lopoyda was also given a red
card,

Despite the lopsided score, Schieffelin felt there were
some bright spots on his team’s performance. ‘We got a lot
of experience playing against Hartwick. You learn a lot
playing against a good team," said Schieffelin, “Now we
can look ahead to the rest of the season. Hopefully we can
go undefeated and we will be in good shape, It will be dif-
ficult, but I'm happy with the way my boys are playing."”

However, Schieffelin was not happy with his team’s per-
formance last Saturday against Cortland. Again the Danes
could muster no offense, as they were outshot 16-3 and
outscored 4-0,

"If we play the best we can, I’m satisfied, win, lose, or
draw. I was disappointed because we did not play our best.
That is what is disturbing,” said Schieffelin.

Schieffelin felt that the Plattsburgh game had taken a lot
‘ut of his team, physically and mentally. “*We had four or
five guys who shouldn't have played because of injuries or
sickness, Cortland just physically outran us,"? he said.

The Danes, who were ranked 10th in the state in the
latest poll, hope to strengthen their midfield in order to
bolster their sluggish offensive play, Albany will play their
next two games on the road, Brockport on Saturday and
Union on Wednesday.

Women rally Capitol to ‘Take Back The Night’

By Carl Patka

Armed with flashlights and a cause, ap-
proximately 400 women rallied In front of
the Capitol steps last Friday night to, accor-
ding to a rally program guide, give". . . an
‘opportunity for women to unite in their ef-
forts to heighten awareness around the
issue of rape.

Despite the threat of rain, the ralliers,

some of whom were men, started gathering ~

At 6 p.m, to “take back the night’ — a time
the ralliers felt women to be particularly
vulnerable to violent sexual crime. In the
words of march organizer and speaker Deb-
bie Schramek, who is also a counselor at the
Albany County Rape Crisis Center, ‘It is
night, and there is violence,"*

Toting signs and chanting ‘Women
unite! Take back the nightt’? the ralliers left
the Capitol at 7:30 p.m. and marched west
Up State Street, through Washington Park
and back down to the Capitol, Kathy
Kargoll said she was marching because
“I'm pissed off 1 can't walk safely at night,
I'm tired of being harassed!"? Roberta
Goldberg, more calmly explained, “I feel
that it’s time for women to take back what
society has taken away, The ability 10 walk
safely at night and during the day and
freedom from blame from families and
friends for sexual crimes."

Citizen's Party candidate for Congress,
Mark Dunlea, attended the rally and said,
"I think women should have the right to
walk alone in the Capitol District. If men’
Were getting attacked, the problem would
haye been solved long ago."”

During a separate protest led by the
Feminist Allianee, approximately, 30
students who rallied on SUNYA’s uptown
campus were egged, mooned, and verbally

ed by other students,

The uptown rally was the culmination of
the Women's Safety Awareness Seminar, a
program sponsored by SUNYA and Na
tional Rape Prevention Week

Sometimes emotional, speeches, songs,
skits were delivered by members

Albany Rape Crisis Center, the Gray
Panthers, the Disabled Women's Theatre
Group, TACTIC, and the Citizens Party

Cooperation Against Sextial Assault, con
curred witli the necessity of political in
fluence, Condo felt that the present New
York State rape laws offer inadequate pro:
ection of the sitizeny against violent sextial
crimes, In her speech, she said that proj

has been made in requiring proof of earnest
resistance of (he Victim agains! the assailant
have been changed and that such proof is

no longer necessary for conviction, Condo

aid strong networking and tobbying in the
legislature contributed 0 the bill's passage,

Condo added that rape laws concerning
the degree of rape are purely statutory, the
degree of the felony of rape or sodomy be-
ing determined largely by the age difference
between the victim and the assailant, In the
eyes Of the law, rape occurs when a sexual
act Is performed without the consent of
both parties involved, and that the law
determines who is and isn't capable of gly
ing statutory consent, Condo states that
this Is inadequate due to the fact that a 25
year old |y just as easily raped by force as a
17 year old, She sald that more emphasis
should! be plaved on the severity of the sex-
ual erime, rather than the ages of the victim
and assailant,

Condo explained that the laws dealing
with rape between a husband and wife are
also inadequate, Under the present law, a
Husband may forcibly have intercourse with
his wife without his wife's consent and not
be prosecuted for rape, Also, in cases of
separation, even if the husband and wife
are living apart, the husband may stil force
intervourse and not be prosecuted unless a
specific st
jon agreement prohibit
prosecution shall ensue, Condo said that
Togislation to change these laws is pending:

Rape (s the fastest growing violent crime
and has the lowest conviction rate of violent
crimes in the United States, Research ins
lentes that this Is partially a resultiof-the
declining economy and because the crime fs
Very easy £0 get away with, sald Condo, and
added that the ease of the crime results
from the fact that only 1 in 10 rapes are
reported and that therefore the crime is
reinforcing, This occlirs, she said, because
of the tniumatic element of the erime and:
hecatise 70 10 80 percent of the rapes are
perpetrated by people the woman knows,

Don't be confiised,'’ Condo cautioned,

the Hollywood myths, Rapists are not
drooling maniacs that jump out of the
bushes. They are usually people the women
know." Because of this, women are not
likely 10 report rape becauise the assailant
might be the victim's boss or relative,
