SASU delegate Anna Plumey at Wednesday’s rally

By NEAL BUCCINO

In defiance of nationwide cuts
to education and funding, the
University at Albany’s branches
of the Student Association of
the State University (SASU)
and United States Student Asso-
ciation (USSA), held an “Edu-
cation is dead” rally on Wednes-
day in front of the Campus Cen-
ter.

The rally consisted of a silent
funeral procession for the
mourned institution, in which

Impending rebellion stokes concern

students carried candles and
signs urging students to “Get off
death row—go out and vote.”

The procession followed a
“teach-in” and eulogy. The
demonstration was organized to
alert students of SASU’s “fight
for educational access”.

Anna Plumey, the campus
delegate for SASU said, “If one
student is affected [by the cut-
ting of federal funds], we’re all
affected, as far as I’m con-
cerned.”

“Tt seems that right now,” she

said, “our elected officials don’t
care about education. It seems
that their main priority is to
slash education.”

Plumey said she feels the fed-
eral government could save
money and students, by making
more efficient decisions.

“Congress wants to eliminate
the Direct Loan Program, which
saves money by cutting out the
middle man when they get you
your loan. They want to cut 4.5
billion dollars over all. If they
save this program, they’ll save
4.5 billion dollars over the next
five years. It seems that their
logic doesn’t make any sense,”
she said. “And this is just one
cut. Five million students will
be affected by this alone.”

Plumey said the demonstra-
tion is the product of Plumey’s

desire to make the students -

aware and active participants in
government. decisions. “We

_ need to vote as a bloc...Students

don’t know what our collective
power is and what numbers
are,”

This attitude was reflected by
the speech made by SASU
member Ann Thomas at the
“teach in”.

Thomas explained the “death
of education” is a futuristic
metaphor for what she feels will
result from funding cuts. She

urged students to “Pay attention,
mobilize, and tell” political
leaders that the cuts they are

proposing “do not have to hap-

pen.”

The demonstration received
coverage from several television
stations and radio stations;
Thomas said its visible presence
on campus was “effective in

making the students aware” of
SASU’s mission. “We'll let
Senator D’Amato, Senator
Moynihan, and representative
McNulty know through the peti-
tion” signed by student partici-
pants. :

SASU also provided voter
registration forms for students at
the demonstration.

Students showing their angst toward rising tuition and budget cuts

By NATALIA ARMOZA
Managing Editor

For the last week, hand written posters
detailing an impending “rebellion” have
been appearing all over the podium. Along
with such sayings as, “Might does not
equal Right,” and “Resistance does not
equal futile,” a phone number was included
on the bottom of numerous posters.

Several machine messages have been
reported at the posted phone number, most-
ly quotes from movies. Students and facul-
ty alike have begun to question what the
posters are suggesting.

Larry Kauffman, Student Association
president, said he was “forty percent sure”
the posters were being distributed by
“some either anarchist or other left. wing
radical group.” He said the distribution of
fliers was “very organized, very sane, very
logical.”

Kauffman also suggested a connection
between the upcoming Jewish holiday,
Rosh Hashanah, also the Jewish day of
judgment, and the posters implying that
September 22 would be the date of the
“rebellion”.

Kauffman said, however, he was in the
dark about the “rebellion” although he was
sure the National Women’s Rights Organi-
zation Coalition (NWROC) was not
involved, he said, “I’m completely ignorant
and quite perplexed.”

_ Other students have proposed several

ideas, from the advertising of a religious
group to a political candidate. One Junior
who refused to give his name said, “Maybe
they'll drag out ‘Landslide’ Larry and
behead him and say let them all eat fried
chicken.”

Mike Keaney, host of the Mike and Paul
Show, on WCDB the campus radio station,
said he has received numerous phone calls
about the nature of the “rebellion.”

He said, “What can I tell them? I don’t
know what it is. I have never seen anything
like this. It could be political, it could just
be a band.”

Most students seem to agree with
Michelle Pabs, a freshman. She said,
“There’s no explanation. I have no idea. It
makes you curious.”

The ASP called the phone number on the
posters, and heard a quote from the movie
Quiz Show on the answering machine.
Later messages included an ominous “Tell
your masters, that we are on a sacred
quest,” and a sample from the Beach Boys’
“Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” and the ASP left a
message urging those distributing the fliers
tocall. —

On Wednesday Seaeocu. the ASP
received a phone call from a male voice.
He said the students at SUNYA are “under

siege” and that “the rebellion is the voice

of the people and the people will not be
ignored.”
He said, “Those who chose to stand in

our way may consider this a warning.”

The Inter—Fraternity Council began their bi-annual rush sign up
this week in front of the campus center. Each one of the fraternities in the
council set up a booth to give information to interested parties.

Individual fraternities begin their fall rush events this week. For
more information contact the Inter—Fraternity Council on the third floor
of the campus center, and they will help you get in touch with the frater-

nity of your choice.

Plans made for new campus

September 29, 1961

The State University of New York has
released for publication the plans for the
new campus of this college. Three hun-
dred acres of land located between West-
ern and Washington Avenues on the site
of the Albany Country Club have been
appropriated and construction is sched-
uled to begin next spring.

The initiak pla Wer, drawnsup over
the summe rchiteet for all
phases of the pr is the eminent
Edmund Stone, highly Yatided by Presi-
dent Evan R. Collins. Mr. Stone has
designed the U.S. embassies in New Delhi
and Pakistan.

The picture below is of the first com-
pleted stage that will utilize 220 acres of
the site. An actual scale model of the
entire project including the additional 80
acres is on display at Draper Hall. Not all
the buildings in the picture. will be com-
pleted when the first move is made.

The first building to be constructed will
be a dormitory with a capacity of 800.
This building is expected to be ready for
use in the fall of 1963. The move to the
new campus will take place as soon as
new buildings are finished, so that stu-

NYPIRG voter drive returns to SUNYA

By KRISTA KRAMER

This semester, the New York
Public Interest Research Group
(NYPIRG) will run the voter
drive again on the SUNY Albany
campus. Last year, in the fall of
1994, NYPIRG ran the same
voter drive, in which over 2100
students registered to vote.

Jonathan Laico, NYPIRG’s
Project Leader for Voter Regis-
tration/ Higher Education said
this drive is most importantly tar-
geting a group of roughly 50% of
students who are not registered
to vote, but it is also important
for any students who moved
since last semester to re—register
under their new address.

The NYPIRG Project Coor-
dinator, Zina Cary said many stu-
dents out of the 50% who have
not registered to vote, may won-
der why it’s so important to do
so. In an earlier discussion she
put forth many reasons to regis-
ter. First, reason being that
politicians on a local, state, and
national level are very aware of
the fact students do not vote.
Therefore, students are easy tar-
gets for any cuts needed to be
made in the budget.

Another reason Cary said
was, “as students at Albany, we
are mostly affected in our day to
day lives by decisions made on
the local level. As registered
voters we would have a say on a
city council level.” This especial-
ly pertains to those of us who
live off campus in the “student
ghetto”.

The final reason she said was

NYPIRG has helped organize several protests for student rights.

in the spring of 1995 Governor
George Pataki proposed the
deepest cuts to higher education
in the history of New York State.
Although not all these cuts went
through, more cuts are anticipat-
ed. So if more of us register
now, when it is time to cut funds,
the state government will be
forced to take needs of students
more seriously.

Cary summed it up when she

Campus phone company
promises to fix problems

By KEVIN DEVALK
Associate News Editor

Since the beginning of this
semester, ACC has received sev-
eral hundred complaints concern-
ing telephone and cable service
in the dormitories.

Complaints were made from a
variety of reasons, but mostly
about the changing of personal
authorization codes and problems
with voice mail.

ACC was awarded an exclu-
sive contract for telephone ser-
vice at the University in 1994. As
part of the package, students are
supposed to be guaranteed extra
options such as call waiting and
voice mail, which were covered
by a raise in room and board fees
in 1994. 2

ACC sent a letter to students
over the summer issuing new
PAC numbers, for reasons of
security. PAC numbers are need-
ed to make off-campus calls
from any dormitory on campus.

ACC was responding to an
incident last semester, in which
an unknown source distributed a
list of PAC numbers to the stu-
dent body, causing concern.

However, many students, for
various reasons, did not get their
new PAC number in the mail.

According to Roseann Bomy-
- soad, Director for ACC, the tele-
phone line for ACC’s on—campus
office received so many calls that
technical problems occurred. As
a result, some calls were lost
while students were put on hold.

“We want to apologize to any-
one who has been inconve-
nienced due to these matters,”

Bomysoad said.

Bomysoad said many students
had problems with voice mail
because of last minutes changes
in room assignments. She said
the University provides a list of
housing assignments to ACC,
and PAC numbers are pro-
grammed by computer to specific
telephone numbers and room
assignments.

Therefore, some students that
made last minute room changes
founds that their PAC numbers
and voice mail didn’t work. Also,
students owing outstanding bal-
ances found that their PAC num-
bers had been temporarily
deactivated.

‘Anyone who has called in by
now, and does not have an out-

standing balance, should have

telephone service by now,”
Bomysoad said.

ACC has a policy of correcting
complaints within 48 hours, but
Bomysoad said due to the vol-
ume of complaints, some stu-
dents had to wait longer.

Another problem was the
report of damaged telephone and
cable jack connections by stu-
dents moving in this semester.
ACC had to send repairman to fix
them.

Bomysoad said this problem
will be corrected next year as
RA’s will be required to check
jacks during room inspections.

Complaints are handled at
ACC’s on-campus office, located
temporarily in the basement

‘underneath the State Quad cafe-

teria.

said being registered to vote and
voting is “the way to have a
voice. That’s the way to be
heard...the only way politicians
are going to take you seriously.
You can yell and scream and
protest until you’re blue in the
face, but if you’re not registered
to vote, and you’re not voting,
then politicians are not going to
listen to what you have to say.”

Greg Wasserman, head of the Student Action Committee, discusses their plans for the year.

By STEPHANIE BETH FINDLING
News Editor

The second meeting of the seventy fifth Central
Council focused on the Central Council Commit-
tees, their responsibilities, and their agendas for
the upcoming year.

The Finance committee, chaired by Ann George,
focused their time on the rules concerning Supple-
mental funding and the rules surrounding a request
for it.

Supplemental funding is an emergency fund set
up for Student Association groups which run into
monetary problems during some of their events or
activities. If a group runs into problems and after
the exhaust all other possible avenues for attaining
the money, they can apply for supplemental fund-
ing. It is not necessarily given to all groups but all
groups have the opportunity to state their case in
from of the Finance Committee.

The Student Action Committee is a committee
chaired by Brad Wasserman, which was formed to
help groups deal with oversights they might have,
has yet to complete their agenda for the coming

year. This is one of the newer committees on
Council and they are in the process of setting up
by-laws for the committee to abide by.

The Academic Affairs Committee which is
chaired by Dina Delicce, has been busy working in
many different areas. They are currently investi-
gating the closing of Mohican Hall on Indian Quad
as well as the possibility of extending library
hours. This committee will also be monitoring the
GPA’s of SA officers and student group leaders.

The Intercollegiate Athletics Committee has
planned a full agenda for the upcoming semester.
They intend to investigate the possibility of
acquiring a room for storage of Intramural equip-
ment. They are also going to be looking into dif-
ferent ways to encourage SUNYA students to
attend SUNYA varsity home games.

The Internal Affairs committee is chaired by
Andrew Tsang. The committee met to discuss
ethics and responsibilities for the next year. The
committee has not yet begun to investigate any
matters nor have they established a set of guide-

-lines for how a student can request an investiga-

tion.

sisting of students, faculty, as
well as administrators. Many
Organizations were represented,
such as Alpha Phi Alpha,
ASUBA, SUNY Gospel Choir,
the Science Club, SASU, USSA,
and SETA (Students for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals).
Some were becoming re-

Tutoring services available for all

By JOANNE MCGARVEY

Ah, September. By now, class-
es are approaching their fourth
week and the assignments, tests,
and papers are beginning to pile

News Feature

up. But before panic sets in,
relax, there are two different
ways to get help, guidance, and
perhaps a cure for writers block.

The Writing Center is located
in HU 140, and is the perfect
place to go and talk about any
kind of writing project. It is
staffed by five ‘teaching assis-

tants and approximately five of

six undergraduate tutors.
According to Vicki Tishio, one
of the two Assistant Directors,

Is someone upset that you are
partying too much in school?

If so, Please call Paul at

the Center is a place where any-
one can stop by at any stage in
the assignment itself. From
there, they can talk one on one
with a tutor through every stage,
from outline to revision.

The Center has staff members
to cover all subjects. The hours
are Monday, Tuesday, and
Thursday from 10:00 to 1:00. At
the beginning of the semester
students can generally stop in for
help, but as midterms and finals
approach, it is best to call ahead
at 442-4061.

Another option available to
students is tutoring and study
groups through the Division of
Students Services, and the Office
of Multicultural Students
Services. In order to get a tutor
through Disabled Student
Services, you need to be regis-
tered with the office, which acts
as a referral service. Should a
tutor not be immediately avail-
able, the office, which acts as
referral service would contact
the professor and the Depart-
ment to find someone suitable.
All subjects can be accommodat-
ed and the tutoring is free.

Tutors are available through
the Office of Multicultural
Students Affairs. Tutors are
offered for certain majors. The
student must be a member of a
minority majoring in either busi-
ness, science or math. To get in
touch with tutors through either
of these two programs simply
stop by the Division of Student
Affairs in CC 137.

For the rest of the student
body, tutors are available
through Academic Support
Services in CC 353. Tutoring is
done on a one on one basis, with
the student and tutor working out
the price of the session. Fees
range from $6.00 to $10.00 per
hour.

Academic Support Services
also holds study groups for spe-
cific courses. The sessions are
times to get questions answered
and theories explained and is
provided free for students. For
information call 442-5174.

Safety issues still major concern on campus for students

By LAuRA ARDITO

Safety on campus is a major
topic of concern among SUNY
Albany students. Although
many feel reasonably safe on
campus due to the patrol of cam-
pus police officers and the net-
work of over 180 emergency
blue-light phones, there are a
great number of students who
feel that the administration could
improve safety measures on the

to deter a possible intruder who
may have gained access to the

the entire campus. However, he
does not know when the other

from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on
Sunday nights through Thursday
nights. Currently it is not in
effect at all, and it’s tentative
starting date is September 27.
The hours of this program
results in many students having
to, in fact, walk unaccompanied
at night.

There are various other safety
programs available on this
University’s campuses that can
help students, if students are
willing to use them. Mr. Geb-
hardt stresses the fact many of
the safety programs at this

‘University serve to educate stu-

dents on matters concerning per-
sonal security. One specific way
of doing this is the Empower-

‘ment Project. (One can obtain

more information by calling
Diane Cardone at 442-5415).
The program helps students to
become aware of people and sur-
roundings, and empowering stu-
dents of both sexes. Female stu-

Drinking in college has grown so widespread that,
after many years of practice, people have come to
expect it. The typical college student is flooded with
countless references: to alcohol, both overt and subtle,

door trumpeting “2 for 1” specials, fellow classmates
proudly boast, “Oh man I got so wrecked last night,”
and t-shirts defining college as “a bar with a $15,000
cover charge.” By the end of his or her first month as
a student, such sights and sounds are firmly fixed into
rhis or her overall environment, and become accepted
as part of the cultural norm. But when and how did

alcohol become the central component of social life at
universities across the country?

To understand how alcohol has evolved to such a
high social status, a journey into the past proves
insightful. According to Richard H. Blum, author of
Society and Drugs, alcohol was the first psychoactive
substance discovered by man, with the date of
discovery placed as early as 6400 BC. It was rapidly
assimilated into mainstream culture, and was used
primarily for religious-magical ceremonies and
healing, and, to a lesser degree, social ceremonies.
Though the vast majority of modern-day college
students don’t partake in magic or healing rituals,
parallels can be drawn between the two time periods.
As was the case with early man, alcohol is currently
the favored drug. This is evidenced simply by the fact
that, unlike most drugs, it’s legal. That, in itself, sends
a strong message; if the “powers that be” have not
banned alcohol along with the rest of those “bad”
drugs, then it must be in a different, “good” category.
This type of perceived approval fosters the belief that
the government is condoning the consumption of
alcohol, providing a handy rationalization for
drinking. The unsuccessful Prohibition era of fairly
recent times strengthens this brand of logic. The
thinking goes that if a society without alcohol didn’t
work, alcohol is a necessary part of society.

Another similarity between the two time periods is
that, while in varying amounts, both used and
continue to use alcohol for social purposes. But, as
opposed to ancient civilizations whose people use
alcohol primarily for rituals and secondly in social
settings, modern man has gone in the opposite
direction. The primary function of alcohol today is a
social one, though the general population justifies the
widespread use of what is, in essence, a drug pointing
to the medical uses of it. The medical applications of
alcohol, as well as the legality of it, gives it a
redeeming value in the eye of our culture. The fact
that students who frequently use alcohol are not doing

drinking in violation of the law, fails to chip away at
the facade our society has so painstakingly
constructed.
Now that there’s been an analysis of how college
students, and society as a whole, justify drinking, we
come to the $25,000 question; why do so many
students drink so much? The obvious answer can be
summed up by the following slogan, which I spotted
on yet another pro-alcohol t-shirt: “If it feels good,
just do it.” Human beings of all ages possess a natural
inclination to seek out what “feels good”- college
students are no exception to this rule. What sets
students apart from the rest of the population is their
environment, which condones and encourages
| consumption and over consumption of alcohol. Most

Finally, after three years of accusations by 17 different
women of sexual misconduct over a period of 20 years,
Oregon senator Bob Packwood resigned his position last
week. Although Packwood leaving is the correct result of
the situation, the amount of time and effort needed to
produce this result was utterly ridiculous.

For those who are completely in the dark, in early 1993,
a group of women, former employees of Packwood,
stepped forward and accused Packwood of making
unwanted advances towards female members of his staff.
Although asking a woman for a date is not sexual
harassment, Packwood would follow these women around,
and very often grab them, kiss them, and attempt to force
his tongue down their throats.

The Senate Ethics Commission however, decided
against public hearings about Packwood because they felt
there was not enough evidence. After this decision in early
summer, another three women came forward also accusing
Packwood of sexual misconduct. The difference about
these women is that one was a minor at the time she
worked for Packwood, and she stated that Packwood
showed up at her home and committed a sexual advance
after forcing his way into her home.

Still this did not seem to be enough for the Senate to
seriously consider the removal of Packwood from office.
There have always been stories about. members abusing
their power by making unwanted advances towards
women; Packwood just had the unlucky result of picking
on the wrong women. The key factor which caused
Packwood to resign was the fact he lost the support of Bob

yourselves as part of the greater community. We ask that"
you remember that as a part of this larger community,
you should be aware of your rights and responsibilities
regarding personal safety and behavior. We want to take
this opportunity to discuss two important issues: parties
off campus and safety. ,

As a student your behavior while living off campus
greatly impacts the community’s image of the University
at Albany students. As we commence another academic
year, we strongly encourage you to consider the
following suggestions if you chose to host a party in an
apartment off campus:

-your street in case fire, police, or medical units need to

respond, and (4) force your guests to inappropriately use
“outdoor bathroom facilities” due to inadequate facilities
inside. 7
-Periodically during the night, walk outside to check the
noise level and adjust it accordingly.

-It is your responsibility to stay in control of yourself and
your guests.

-Know and observe New York State Law in terms of
your liability in providing alcoholic beverages to persons
under 21 years of age as well as the “Open Container
Law” and the “Noise Ordinance” in the City of Albany.

Dole, the Republican majority leader, and key front runner
in the next presidential election.

It is a sad statement that it wasn’t until Dole took away
his support did Packwood feel compelled to resign.
Apparently the accusations of 17 women, including a
minor, just isn’t enough to affect one of oldest institutions
in this country, an institution which is supposed to be
governed by the people, which is comprised of two sexes.

Some supporters of Packwood have claimed it is unfair
to judge Packwood by today’s standards dealing with what
is acceptable and unacceptable in treating women, another
ridiculous statement. Abuse of power has always been
considered inappropriate, e.g. Martin Luther criticizing the
Catholic Church for forcing medieval peasants to make
donations to keep the land. Just because the ones happened
to be abused were women, still does not make it any less
excusable; everyone must pay their dues someday, and for
Packwood and others like him, the time is now.

Unfortunately Packwood resigned before he could be
impeached, for it would have been fun to see Barbara
Boxner, the representative from California, who headed
the campaign against Packwood, have her day in the sun
with Packwood, but it was not meant to be. Although the
end result of the whole scandal is the right one, it still
makes a sad statement about how our society is. If Dole
never pulled away from Packwood, he probably would
have remained in office. It seems the idea that women’s

equality, especially in higher institutions is still a myth.

Which brings little consultation to this writer, a woman
about to enter the “real” world.

Open Container Law: It is illegal for a person to
possess an open container of an alcoholic beverage in a
public place.

Noise Ordinance: It is unlawful for any person to

make, continue or cause to be made or continued any
unnecessary or unusual noise between the hours of 6:00
a.m. and 8:00 p.m. which either annoys, injures or
endangers the comfort, repose, health, or safety of others,
or to make, continue or cause to be made or continued
between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., or in the
use of operation of any radio, receiving set, musical
instrument, phonograph, television set of other device for
the production or reproduction of sound, or otherwise
any noise which either annoys, injures or endangers the
comfort, repose, health or safety of others. An offense
against this ordinance is a violation punishable by a
$250.00 fine and/or 15 days in jail.

ASPing For Trouble

This week I was fortunate enough to meet some people out there in
SUNYland who, much to my surprise, actually read this column and
are not to embarrassed to say so (at least to me). I thought the four or
five of you reading might like to know what your fellow readers’
concerns are, or at least what they write to me about. So, without
further adue, this week I share with you some of the mail received
here at ASPing For Trouble.

I suppose the most common question is the one asked by Shannon
Walsh who wants to know “Jason, how do you manage to live such a
jetsetting lifestyle, hanging out and befriending rockstars and
high-profile movie stars alike?” Well Shannon, let me tell you it is
not easy. It is only the biggest names.in the industry who want to be
interviewed by me. Certainly it’s not like I have to beg record
companies to let me talk to new singers who will go on to sell
thirteen copies of a shitty record. It’s not like I have to beg, plead,
and in effect, suck corporate dick just to get a copy of say, the new
Red Hot Chilli Peppers album. No, that’s not what happens here. No
siree. Most people within the entertainment industry have a lot of
respect for college reporters and they try to be as helpful as possible.
They definitely don’t treat me like a lepper just because I don’t write
for Spin. They love me and I am never resentful that I get no respect.
Uh-uh.

Another question often posed to me is that of Jerry Hunter. He
wants to know “Are your friends and family really supportive of the
work you're trying to do there at the ASP? Do you get constant
support similar to that which you try to relay upon your friends for
the activities they participate in?” Of course, silly goose. My friends
are always there to say “Good job, Jason. That article was really
good. I didn’t notice one mistake and if I did, it was so insignificant
compared to the glorious prose which flowed forth.” No one ever
says “You spelled Kurt Cobain’s last name with a K, moron,” and
leaves it at that. No one ever neglects to mention a 750 word
interview, noticing only the spot where I might have accidently

_ printed a word like “the” twice in a row (e.g. “The the band’s new

record...”). No, I get support up the wazoo. Especially from my
family. It’s not like my mother has ever said to me “Jason, I hope
your not falling behind in your schoolwork while you're going to
these concerts.” And of course, I never am. I have never neglected
reading The Illiad so that I can produce a cover for my section. Never.
School first, the newspaper a distant second. After all, if you could
spend your time seeing NIN in Massachusettes (for free) or reading
“The Compromise Of 1850” you’d probably pick the same one I do
(that compromise thing, naturally). And if I miss a fraternity party of
one of my friends, well, they don’t ball me out for not coming, even
though they haven’t read the paper in months. No, no, no. Totally
symbiotic relationships all around.

In sorting through this mountain of fan letters I came across one
from Lisa Flanders who states “That ASPects, it looks so good. You
must have writers who are really dilligent about making dealines
and show a wealth of respect for your time.” Correctamundo. I can’t
remember the last time I begged a writer to submit an article on a

-Icertain date and didn’t see it until I had called for the fifth time and

was told, “Oh, yeah. I’ve been really busy so I didn’t have time to
write three hundred words on the CD I pleaded with you for months
to call and get me. The one you had to send three faxes about.” I
have never heard that, especially not last week. All my writers
understand the amount of time Ethan, my associate editor, and I put
in here and they are.equally committed. They never ever do things at
a pace which would shame a quadraplegic toroise.

And finally, Ralph Gilles asks “Why are you always bitching and
moaning? Aren’t you ever satisfied with the way things are going? If
it’s not “I miss being in the city” then it’s “I don’t have a girlfriend”
or “I hate the bar scene here.” Why are you always so miserable?”
Ralph, it’s pretty simple. I am Jewish and no matter the extent to
which I practice the religion, I have a genetic predisposition to being
unhappy and having a need to find things to complain about. We all
need a skill, right? Mine just happens to be less sociable than say
playing guitar or telling good jokes at parties.

So there you have it. I have responded to my readers and I only
hope more of you will write in with comments, suggestions, or small
gifts. If you happen to be illiterate, feel free to simply approach me
out on the town here in Albany (at WT’s perhaps) and sing my
praises for hours. If you’re too shy for that, just send a drink my way
and if you want, I can listen to you bitch for a while.

3a Aspects

LOVE

Clockers Shows Che Difficulty Of Making Choices In The Projects

— fee's Reported Last Feature On Urban fife Enfertaitts as St Informs

elroy Lindo, John Turturro, and

Director Spike Lee is well known
for his realistic portraits of urban life.
In his last movie, Crooklyn, Lee took a
nostalgic look at growing up in
Brooklyn during the 1970s. However,
the movie did not do well with critics
or audience$ because it was packed
with too many messages trying to do
too many things. This is not the case
with his new movie Clockers.

Susan Craine

The screenplay written by Lee and
Richard Price, the author of Clockers,

Harvey Keitel

the novel, is tightly written and

maintains the suspense needed to
create a good thriller. Lee has found
the perfect balance between relaying
the messages about why these men
do what they do, and simply telling a
story.

The film takes place again in
Brooklyn, specifically at the Nelson
Mandela projects. In these projects
Spike (Mekhi Phifer) works the
benches in the center of the projects,
selling crack and cocaine to anyone
who has the money. Spike is tired of
working the benches so his boss

Rodney Little (by Delroy Lindo)
offers him a deal-kill a man who has
been cheating Rodney and he can get
off the benches.

Eventually there is a murder and
someone is arrested, but the accused
killer turns out to be an unlikely
person-Victor, Spike’s brother. Victor
is a model citizen, happily married
with two children, working two jobs
with the hope of someday moving his
family away from a life overridden by
drugs and violence.

The police investigation is headed
by Rocco Klein, played by Harvey
Keitel who has received top billing for
the movie.

However, Clockers is not really
about the police investigation of the
murder. It is really about Spike and
his inability to leave a world that he
hates but is so dependent on.

It is hard to imagine having
sympathy for a man who would give
tips about cutting and selling cocaine
to a ten year old, but by the time the
movie is over the one person who
does retain sympathy is Spike. He
knows what he is doing is wrong, but
there is no way out for him. If he
gives into pressure from the police
and tells the truth about the murder,
Rodney will kill him. If he doesn’t he
may put away his brother, an
innocent man. He’s used by both
Rodney and Rocco to get what they
want, and there is nothing he can do
about it.

Lee claims this is his last film which
will deal with gritty urban life. It is
unfortunate to hear because with
Clockers Lee has managed to create a

movie that both disturbs and

interests.

The Prophecy Js Horror

Christopher
Walken

In The Prophecy, Christopher Walken
plays the archangel Gabriel whose mission
is to destroy a young girl, steal a weapon
she is hiding, and of course, to conquer the
world. After all, what else is there for bad
guys to do, especially bad guys with
superpowers?

Alex Brosowsky

In biblical script we are told that any
time God wanted something destroyed or
an example made of someone he sent an
angel. So, these cherubs have to be pretty
vicious. Look, would you want to come
face to face with something God uses as a
weapon? It could have been a great idea,
but it is very quickly buried by cliches as
this movie dissolves into a typical horror
flick.

Visuals in this movie are at a minimum.
There are a few breathtaking special
effects, but unfortunately most of the film
is spent in a feeble attempt to build
suspense and explain a premise that
cannot be rescued despite the usually
formidable casts’ efforts. The Prophecy
was fun though. If your looking for a
movie to chill out to with a few friends,
this might do.

« Video Notes »:

The Basketball

Diaries

Leonardo DiCaprio

If you’ve read the book you're bound
to be disappointed by _ this
whitewashed version of Jim Carroll's
memoir about growing up ee
drugging, hustling and playing
basketball in late ‘60s New York City.
However, Leonardo DiCaprio gives a
fairly convincing performance in what
has been turned into a story regarding
a young man’s entrance into the world
of drugs and his struggle to survive it.

In the beggest surprise since Will
Smith’s turn in Six Degrees Of
Separation, Mark Wahlberg (formerly
Marky Mark) turns in a realistic
portrayal of Jim’s friend who faces the
hardships of entering manhood,
including death, det achment from
family, and ultimately drug
dependency, with him.

The film is directed by Scott. Kalvert,
a former video director, and it shows. If
you don’t mind the film’s MTV style,
DiCaprio may be enough to merit
watching.

—Jason Black

You Don't Need To Drag Yourself Co Wong F00

First things first. Patrick Swayze is
one fine looking woman. It takes a
very special person to pull off the
pearls and beehive look well,
especially if you happen to have
something hanging between your
legs. Swayze co-stars with Wesley
Snipes and John Leguizamo in To
Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie
Newmar. Perhaps a better title would
be “Drag Queens At A Mall Near
You.”

Susan Craine

The plot is pure fantasy. After
winning a contest, three New York
drag queens-Vida (Swayze),
Noxeema (Snipes), and Chi Chi
(Leguizamo), pack their things to
make a trek to California. However,
en route, they break down in a tiny
town named Snydersville. There
they teach the backwards people
how to welcome change, accept
those different from them, and
basically how to enjoy life more.

The movie bears great resemblance
to the Australian movie The
Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the
Desert, which was in theaters last
year. However, the movie lacks the
characteristics which made Priscilla a
good movie, namely believable
characters.

The script, written by Douglas
Carter Beane, lacks any real depth. It
is hinted that Vida and Noxeema
have experienced difficulties in
being who they are, but they are
never explored on screen. The
characters here are a little too
happy-go-lucky and easily breeze
through adversity, which anyone in
the real world knows is not as easy.
Vida, Noxeema, and Chi Chi are not

played as real personalities, just
caricatures. Vida is the soft spoken
wise one, Noxeema is the funky
dressing /take no shit one, and Chi
Chi is the dizzy “hoochie mama.”
The movie neyer even makes much
use of such actresses as Stockard
Channing, Blythe Danner, and
Melinda Dillon.

Swayze's is the only stand-out
performance in the film in terms of
being a believable-looking woman.
Snipes on the other hand never
seems to get used to heels because he
definitely wiggles much more than is
necessary. Leguizamo, who is known

for his female impressions, does
nothing interesting or new with a
genre he actually has experience
with.

Perhaps the real humor of this
movie is listening to the reactions of
others in the theater. Before the film
was over, thirty “Oh my God’s”
were uttered by two twelve year olds
seated in the middle of the theater.

However, after the novelty of
seeing action heroes in fuchsia and
orange dresses wears off, all that is
left on screen is a movie that has
been done before and has been done
better.

The Presidents Of The United States Of
America are a power pop trio from LA
whose strength lies in a creative pop sen-
sibility and a healthy sense of humor.
They have just released their self-titled
debut on Colombia records which is pro-
duced by Conrad Uno, best known for
his work with musicians from the Seattle
grunge era, most notably Mudhoney’s
major label debut, Piece of Cake.

Presidents Of The U.S.A. Make Silly Cake

arrangement is the essence of power pop
with loud fast verses supplemented with
a breakdown bridge that accompanies
the verse, “We don’t have the talent. We
don’t have the time. We don’t have the
patience, and we don’t know how to

rhyme.”

Also notable is the guest “guitar noo-
dles” on “Naked and Famous” by
grunge guru Kim Thayil of Soundgarden

fame. His contribution to the simple hard
rock tune is a humorous metal guitar
solo that carries the song to its whimsical
metal big drum ending.

If The Presidents had released their ©
album five years ago, it would be amidst
a wash of hundreds of other grunge
albums. However, with grunge now an
afterthought in the history of rock music,
the band has produced a decent garage

The lyrics are sim-

on diverse subjects
like in “Peaches,”
about nothing less
than, you guessed it,
canned _ peaches.
“Peaches come from
a can. They were
put there by a man.
Who works in a fac-

Other songs deal

make it into the alternative
metal scene (the most recent
being Silverchair), now comes
Dandelion with their debut
album, Dyslexican (Colombia).

Andrew Purrott

With the exception of a few
untimely stops and flute
breaks, this album is a mosh-
er’s dream. Songs like “What
A Drag,” “Supercool,” and
“Retard” resemble a punk
rock mosh pit more than any-
thing else, but there is a fine
line between alternative—metal
and punk rock which
Dandelion hasn’t crossed.

The drummer and guitar
players appear to bear the
brunt of the rhythm load, yet
they seem to do their job well,
never really stopping their
heart-pounding rhythms to
play something a little easier
on the head. All of which

want to see any lighters at
their shows (except to light
cigarettes).

You may find yourself mak-
ing ugly faces and waiting to
bang your head to some of
these songs. The band also
possesses, on top of a metal
rhythm section, an uncanny
quality of being able to harmo-
nize well together.

It is not their harmony that
is an oddity, but more the way
they place it in a metal-orient-
ed album. A great example of
this is on “Melon From
Heaven.” The harmony and
rhythm coincide so well that
the listener is left with a great
impression of the band.

With the release of
Dyslexican, Dandelion has def-
initely shown that it has an
agitated and vindictive side to
show everyone. And ready or
not, prepare yourselves to
hear Dandelion on any and all
alternative radio stations.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Intolerance

To the Editor:

I am the owner of Mother Earth’s Cafe.
At 1 am the morning of September, 6
1995, my plate glass window was
smashed. It was the window that had
information about Mumia Abu Jamal, a
black man on death row in Pennsylvania,
who millions of people believe is there
unfairly.

The three white guys who broke the
window, ran into Mild Wally’s to hide
and then got away.

Anyone with an open mind who takes
the 20 minutes to read the flyers in my
window would probably agree that we
have strong reasons to stand up and sup-
port Mumia.

On August 7, a temporary stay of exe-
cution was granted by the judge only 10
days before his scheduled execution. This
was undoubtedly because of worldwide
pressure, including Amnesty Internation-
al, even the European Parliament.

I’ve had the information in my window
since June. That window has helped to
educate a lot of Albanians and therefore is
part of the reason why Mumia is alive
today. Even with a broken window, I’m
proud we helped. We the people of
America are going to end racism in this
society and we won’t be stopped by the
cowardly violence of the few.

If anyone would like to help me pay to
replace the glass, (insurance doesn’t cover
it) I'd sure appreciate the help. To the
three guys who broke it: Take the time to
read the literature to which you emotion-
ally reacted. Do some thinking. Then
come and apologize and make restitution.

First Shabbat
on Campus

To the Editor:

On Friday, Sept. 8, Hillel hosted the
first annual Shabbat dinner of the
semester at Chapel House. Among the
Jewish groups present were RZA,
RUACH, AISAC, SA, and United Jewish
Federation of Northeastern New York.
Pinchas Schreiber, Shabbos House Direc-
tor, and Steve Stulmarker, Jewish Student
Services Vice Chair attended.

Words could not describe the exhila-
ration of witnessing over 200 Jewish stu-
dents packed into one small room. Inten-
sity built as patio tables, picnic benches,
and desks were brought in to accommo-
date the overstuffed room. We both could
not take the smiles off our faces - what a
wonderful problem to have - not enough
room for everyone partaking of Shabbat.
It was emotional for us because it remind-
ed us of the togetherness felt at the Kotel
on Shabbat during the UJA Winter Mis-
sion. Everyone felt so welcomed by the
sweet smells of Shabbat, the singing, the
Davar Torah, the candlelight, and the taste
of the challah. a

This Shabbat dinner was like no other
we have ever experienced in the past at
SUNYA. It is apparent that the quality
and hard work of the students this
semester will be worth watching. We are
looking forward to love and peace within
the Jewish groups on campus for a happy

and healthy New Year!

Gag Rule Shot
Down

To the Editor:

This letter is in response to the article,
“Campus Gag Rule Shot Down in
House,” printed in the Friday, September
8 edition of the Albany Student Press.

As SUNY Albany’s representative for

the New York Public Interest Research
Group (NYPIRG) State Board of Direc-
tors, I was part of the delegation that trav-
eled to Washington D.C. in early August
to fight the bill introduced by Representa-
tive Gerald Solomon (R-NY). In what can
only be referred to as an overwhelming
victory for student rights, the “Solomon
Amendment” was defeated by a vote of
263-161. If passed, this bill would have
restricted any college or university,
receiving federal funds from allowing its
Student Association to financially support
any student group working to influence
public policy. Groups falling under this
ruling would have included NYPIRG, the
Student Association of the State Universi-
ty (SASU), the United States Student

’ Association (USSA), ASUBA, RZA, the

College Republicans, University
Democrats, the Choice Party, and Pro-
Life Party (just to name a few). This
attack on the First Amendment rights of
students displayed blatant disregard for a

social activities are centered around or
involve drinking, whether the activity of
choice is going to a bar, a fraternity party,
or a dance club where drinks are served.
These establishments openly advertise
alcohol as their primary function. A per-
fect example of this is a flyer I found in
the common area in my suite. It was an
invitation to a fraternity party that read:
“It’s the beginning of the year - time to
get shit-faced!” Besides painting a lovely
picture, this statement reinforces and sup-
ports the idea that being drunk is neces-
sary to have a good time.

It is not only peer pressure and bar
owners that perpetuate that drinking is a

student controlled mandatory activity fee.

This past spring, several referenda were
held at the University at Albany during
student elections. Each student was given
the opportunity to cast his/her vote as to
whether or not they wanted to continue to
fund a chapter of NYPIRG, as well as the
mandatory student activity fee. In March,
92% of voting students reaffirmed their
commitment to NYPIRG. A month later,
over 80% of students that voted chose to
continue the mandatory activity fee. In
both elections, record numbers of students
turned out to cast their vote for student
autonomy.

The University at Albany prides itself
upon being a just community and a place
of cultural diversity. These are integral to
the personal and intellectual development
of students. Our student activity fee is the
source where all ideas can be expressed,

whatever they may be. |

Regarding
Resignation

To the Editor:

There seems to be questions as to what
was meant by last week’s article “Top SA
official resigns citing corruption.” Maybe
this letter can define ideas properly so
people will stop asking my roommate,
Mike Castrilli, Chair of Central Council.

I took the position of Programming
Director to help eradicate some of the cor-
ruption within the Office of Program-
ming. As you may or may not know, last
year there was a “Colours Concert,” that
failed due to the lack of proper leadership.
This was one of the many alleged misuses
of funds which added up to approximately
58 thousand dollars. There is only so
much one can fix when the damage has
been done. Unfortunately, I had the bur-
den of being carpenter.

I found the position very stressful due
to several reasons; medical, bureaucracy,

and time. ;
There is something else I need to make

clear. I don’t have anything personal
against anyone on the Executive Branch. I
still maintain excellent personal relations
with everyone in the office. I just don’t
agree with a lot of their decisions. That’s
why I no longer want to be part of the
Executive Branch. Everyone knowing
everything is not fair and things don’t
always go the way they should in the Stu-
dent Association, but that’s Politics.

I had the burden of being carpenter.

normal, “right” thing to do in college. The
media plays a big part as well. Television
advertisements for beer, wine coolers, etc.
are almost always geared towards young
people, many of them are under 21. The
same is true of magazines; both types of
advertisements feature young, attractive,
healthy groups of people holding alco-
holic beverages and having the times of
their lives. These ads assume that most
young people drink and do their part to
maintain the “status quo.” Many college
kids relate to these images because they
are a reflection of their own behavior. As
a result of the widespread portrayal of
college drinking, our society has created
the assumption that “everyone’s doing it.”

Consequently, a lot of people are.
There is no single explanation for the

high drinking rate among college stu-
dents. Rather, this behavior can be
attributed to several factors: historical
practices and attitudes regarding alcohol;
the belief that alcohol is a “good” drug

since it’s legal and even ‘has medical
value; the accessibility of alcohol to col-
lege students; the encouragement from
peers, fraternities, sororities, bars, clubs,
and society in general for college-aged
people to drink; the subsequent belief that
it’s normal to drink because everyone else
does; and media propaganda. All of these
factors create quite a bit of pressure from
every direction for college students to
drink, drink, drink. And for the most part,
it’s working.

For Your Safety

assistance, contact the Albany Police at
911 for an emergency or 462-8000 for a

non-emergency. Also, you may call the.

“Off-Campus Housing Hotline” at 442-
5888 and leave a message if necessary.
Regarding safety off campus, we would
encourage you to join the Pine Hills or
Beverwyck Neighborhood Walk and
Watch Programs if you reside within
these patrol areas. These programs
involve trained resident volunteers walk-
ing evenings as the eyes and ears of the
Police Department, as well as identifying
“quality of life” conditions in need of
attention. Student participation in these
programs is a real demonstration of com-
mitment to the community. For more
information, contact the Department’s
Community Services Unit at 462-8033.
The Albany Police Department also
offers a variety of crime prevention ser-
vices to the community including “Opera-
tion Identification” and the new “Commu-
nity Policing Program.” For additional
information, contact the Community Ser-
vices Unit. In addition, the new office of
Personal Safety and Off-Campus Affairs,
located in the Campus Center 110 on the
University’s uptown campus, offers a
variety of personal, property, and fire

safety information.
We hope you have a safe and pleasant

year while in the City of Albany.
Kevin M. Tuffey is the Chief of Police in
the City of Albany. Thomas L. Gebhardt
is the Director of Personal Safety and
Off-Campus affairs for SUNYA and
Chairperson of the Committee on
University and Community Relations.

Sensible diet and exercise are keys in losing weight effectively

Losing weight and staying
slim have become a national
obsession. We are bombarded
daily with new diets, exercise
programs, fitness products, and
weight control pills. All of these
things promise to make us look
like supermodels, immediately
and forever. Most of these things
simply do not work

Middle and are only a

means to make
Earth somebody rich.
Roots However, if, like

many Americans,
you are determined to lose some
weight for better health, there are
effective and reasonable methods
you can use to achieve your goal.

Dieting alone is not an effec-
tive, safe, or long-lasting method
to lose weight. People using diet
pills or severely cutting down on
their food intake to lose weight
quickly, often wind up gaining
the weight back, or gaining even
more.

The body needs a variety of
foods for growth, tissue repair,
energy, and true fitness. We
should consume protein, vita-
mins, fats,and carbohydrates
everyday to maintain good nutri-
tion, especially several servings
of fruits, grains and vegetables.
Any diet that advocates eating
poorly or too little should be
avoided.

The best program for weight
loss is one which combines a
sensible reduction in calories and
fats and some form of regular
exercise. A sensible diet is one
which involves-eating less of
some foods (like fatty and sugary
foods), and increasing the intake
of other foods (like vegetables

and fruits). Studies have shown
that people who eat a diet of low
calorie, low fat foods and engage
in some form of regular exercise
lose 25% more fat than those
who diet alone. The formula is
simple: burn more calories than

you take in so they are not stored
as fat.

The fact is, we should not talk
about an “ideal” weight, or about
losing weight. We should talk
about losing excess fat and
becoming more physically fit.

The health risk is not being over-
weight, but overeating. Exercise
helps the body to turn fat info
muscle building protein.

The exercise you choose
should be based on what you
would most enjoy doing about

three times a week.

Diets alone promote loss of
protein and temporary loss of
water—weight, and long-term
effects will be minimal. without
exercise.

Wild card races hit final stretch |

By Ray TESAR

Okay all you die-hard baseball fans, Cal
Ripken’s attention is over, the wild-card races
have taken shape, and there’s just under three
weeks left of play, so are you ready for some excit-
ing baseball? It’s my favorite time of year again,

the stretch drive towards the pennant. In this new |

“crazy” game of baseball, with inflated E.R.A.’s
and astonishing offense stats, the traditional “pen-
nant races” have become new “wild—card races” in
an attempt to revive the national pastime. At first,
like so many baseball “purists,” I was against these
new division formats. But then I realized that
under the old rules almost every team in the
American league would be at least twenty games
behind the Cleveland Indians, with only two real
pennant races left to watch. So I have become
engulfed in this new “wild-card fever.”

Well let’s get down to business. The Cleveland
Indians have gained a place in 1995 October base-
ball by winning the American League Central divi-
sion by about a million games. The Boston Red
Sox have been floundering lately, but they will still
win the Eastern Division, despite the curse of “the
Bambino.” Over in the National League East, the
Atlanta Braves have “tomahawked” their way into
post season play, by going on a second-half tear.

Switching over to the National League Central,
it is a safe bet to say that the Cincinnati Reds will
be representing their division in the playoffs. The
only sad point to the Reds’ wonderful season is
that even if the Reds capture the World Series title,
manager Davey Johnson will be replaced by coach
Ray Knight because controversial and often wacky
owner Marge Schott found out Johnson lived with
his fiancee before he married her—only Marge!

Now this is where things get exciting. There are
still two divisions up for grabs, along with the two
new wild-card spots.

The American League wild card hunt finds the
New York Yankees, Seattle Mariners, Kansas City
Royals, and Texas Rangers fighting it out for the

‘honor of being baseball’s first “American League
wild-card team.”

In this race, I have to lean with the Yankees.

First, I feel they have the best talent of all the pre-
vious contenders mentioned, although you can

- make the an argument about the Mariners. But

unlike Seattle, the Yanks’ remaining sixteen games
are all with sub .500 teams..Meanwhile the
Mariners have to play such division leading teams
as the Red Sox and the Angels, along with playing
fellow wild—card hopeful the Texas Rangers seven
times. And all the Royals have to do is play the
dreaded Indians seven times in their final ten
games. The Mariners however have their eyes on
an even bigger prize: the A.L. West crown. Just a
few weeks ago the Angels were making their post
season plans, but a recent ugly losing streak has
put their post-season status in jeopardy. If the
Mariners can somehow catch the Angels, that
would put California right in the middle of the
wild—card pack as well.

The scenario is similar for the two remaining
playoff spots available in the N.L. The Los
Angeles Dodgers and the Colorado Rockies are
fighting it out for the top spot in the N.L. West,
with the loser hoping to hang on to the one avail-
able wild-card spot. The Houston Astros,
Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, and San
Diego Padres really aren’t too concerned about
who wins the West, as long as their own team can
grab the final playoff spot. This is going to be a
good race, baseball fans, which will go down to
the wire between the Rockies, Dodgers, and
Astros. This basically becomes a race between
Colorado’s thin, home-field air, how many times
the Dodgers can pitch Japanese rookie ace Hideo
Nomo, and the ability of the Astro’s Jeff Bagwell.

1995 NFL Picks from Suite 107

Overtime ~
Baseball’s not saved yet!

Week two of football is now in the past, and I’m still nauseous.
The Giants, after getting humiliated by Dallas, chose not to stop
there. With a victory easily in hand, the Giants handed their “W”
over to the Montanaless Chiefs. I think one of my suitemates

By GARETH M. SMITH

almost went through a whole roll of Tums. At 0-2, the chances of
the Giants making the playoffs glide just that much farther away.
With the Packers on the horizon, Big Blue needs a win, or can kiss
the playoffs goodbye.

The Jets, however, made the Giants fourth quarter defeat look
valiant. With a 21 point lead in the third quarter, the Jets oe
was atrocious. —

No matter how bad the Gans were late in the game, the Jets

would not be outdone. They squandered a 13 point lead in the |

fourth, and found themselves playing overtime against the low
powered Colts. Still with a chance for a win, the obviously clutch,

primetime receiver Cherbet managed to drop a pass that Boomer
had somehow thrown. perfectly. If the receivers can’t catch when
Esiason’ s on (which, let me tell you, isn’t often), this team
deserves to go winless. Jacksonville is coming my. little dets fans,
be afraid, be very afraid. —

On to Baseball. On ‘September 6, Cal. Ripken Jr. finally broke |

the half century old record of Lou Gelirig by playing in his 2,031

game. Now I was impressed by the feat, and enjoyed the emotion
of the moment, but let’s not take it as far as some are taking it.

Ripken’s efforts have about as much chance of “saving” baseball

as the Jets do of winning the SuperBowl.
- Ripken’s new record, while tremendous, is boring. His endeavor
completely exemplifies what the masses hate about baseball, it’s

really slow. Am I supposed to root for some young kid for the next

15 years as he chases Ripken? Id rather wait for another Ranger
Stanley Cup.

_ To save the game that many of us love, a player completely
unlike Cal has to step up to the spotlight. Sixty-two home runs is
THE record that captivates the public. It only takes one season to
break it, and is not decided by just showing up to play every day.
We love speed and power in sports, not a methodical climb to
2,000+ games played.

Even though Ripken is a nice guy, he can not captivate us like
Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, or even Ken Griffey
Jr. In 1961 Roger Maris didn’t play every day; neither did Mantle,
but both caught the nation’s attention as they chased the greatest

player of all time, Babe Ruth along with his 60 homers.

We need Frank Thomas, Ken Griffey Jr., or even Matt Williams

‘to step forward and truly recapture | some of the old glory of the |

‘nation’ s former pastime.

Albany’s women’s volleyball
team is on the up and up and
they are just getting younger.
After starting two freshmen for
the first time ever last season,
the Lady Danes start three
freshmen this year.

Sophomore Raphaela Nikas,
senior captain G.G. Legendre
and junior captain Kelly Heider
start along side Lisa Greiner,
Christine Lee and Jackie
Sanchez. Also making a major
contribution is senior captain
Deirdre Callahan, who is only
one of three players (Legendre,
Heider) with two years of expe-
rience coming into this season.

The Lady Danes are 2-1 on
the season and could very easi-
ly have been 3-0. In the open-
ing match of the season Albany
traveled to American
International. After dropping
the first set 15-8 the Lady
Danes recovered to take the
second set 15-7. Albany then
lost a close third set 15—13, but
won the fourth set 15-9 to send
the match into a fifth and
deciding set. The fifth set was
played with rally scoring,
which meant instead of the
usual side out scoring, every
rally resulted in a point. With
Albany up 14-13 and the
match on the line one of the
longest rallies of the match
ensued. The Lady Danes had
apparently won as Legendre hit
a ball that appeared to be a

winner and the match, but the
referee called her for a lift and
gave American International
the point.

oh: looked perfectly eo to

” head coach Bob Dwyer
ae “Never in twenty plus
years of volleyball have I seen
that bad a call at that time in a
match. It was a good referee
too, but just not in that situa-
tion.”

Thinking they had won the
match and finding out they
hadn’t was a letdown Albany
couldn’t recover from.
American International scored
the last two points and won the
set 16-14 and the match.

Next for the Lady Danes was
their home opener against
Sacred Heart. In a four set bat-
tle Albany won 15-1, 13-15,
15-10 and 15-6. This was a
match that saw every Albany
player enter the game. Coach
Dwyer was pleased with the
team’s performance and sur-
prised Sacred Heart came out
as slow as they did.

Wednesday, Albany traveled
to Skidmore. It was another day
at the office for the Lady Danes
as they easily disposed of the
Lady Thoroughbreds. A high

‘powered offensive and serving

attack was the key to the win.

Albany looks to improve on
their 2—1 record at LeMoyne
with St. Rose tomorrow at 12
noon. After tomorrow the Lady
Danes will have a week off
before stepping onto the court
again.

Danes run over Central Connecticut St. 17-10

By THOMAS MCMAHON
Sports Editor

Two weeks ago the Albany
men’s football team lost their
season opener to Dayton 40-14.
After a closer game than the
score indicated, the Dane coach-
es and players were still confi-
dent in their abilities to compete
at the Division I-AA and II lev-
els.

Last Saturday Albany proved
on the field they can compete
with the tougher competition and
defeated Division I-AA Central
Connecticut State 17-10. The
mistakes that hampered the
Danes’ success two weeks ago
were ironed out in a week of
practice and were no where to be
found on Saturday.

After a scoreless first quarter,
Albany got on the board first
with a 31 yard touchdown run
from Jeremy Kachejian. The
touchdown run capped off a
three play 72 yard drive. Sean
King’s extra point gave the
Danes a 7-0 lead. Central Con-
necticut State answered back just
59 seconds later on a 22 yard
pass from John O’Reilly to Sean
Sullivan. The 66 yard drive took
only five plays, and after the
extra point the score was tied at
seven.

After a few defensive stands
the same type of play that may

have cost Albany a chance for a_Albany’s key to victory was controlling the line of scrimmage.

win against Dayton now was
leading them to a win. Sopho-
more linebacker Peter London
intercepted an O’Reilly pass and
scampered 37 yards for a touch-
down. London’s play came with
only 1:26 left in the first half and
propelled Albany not only to a
14-7 halftime lead, but to their
first win.

Albany then took the second

half kickoff and put together a
nine play 52 yard drive that
ended in a 29 yard field goal by
Sean King. Central Connecticut
State added a field goal of their
own in the third quarter, but that
was all the scoring either team
would do. A scoreless fourth
quarter meant Albany had earned
a 17-10 victory, their first win of
the season.

File photo

The Danes were led by their
defense which limited CCSU’s
offense to only 230 total yards
and just eight first downs. Cen-
tral Connecticut State could
muster just 98 yards on the
ground against the stingy Dane
defense and the ten points were
the lowest allowed by Albany
since a 50-6 victory over. West-
ern Connecticut on November 6,
1993. Anthony Vitti led the
Danes with seven tackles. Chad
Hotaling and Jeff Emerson each
added six tackles. Matt Carollo
also had an interception for
Albany.

Offensively Albany used a
bruising rushing attack and a
smart passing game to gain 424
total yards. Kachejian rushed for
142 yards on 20 carries and
Frank Coluccio, who started his
first collegiate game, rushed for
100 yards on 13 carries. The two
combined for 242 of Albany’s
315 yards rushing. Coluccio was
named the Eastern Collegiate
Athletic Conference Division II
rookie of the week for his
efforts. Bellamy, who didn’t start
because of respiratory problems
during pre-game drills, did play
and gained 45 yards on seven
carries.

Joe Savino was much more
efficient this week, completing
twelve of his 23 pass attempts
for 109 yards. Savino stayed
away from mistakes and hit Dan

Gmelin four times for 39 yards.
Coluccio came out of the back-
field to catch three balls for 24
yards and Seth Thomas also had
three catches. However, the
longest completion (21 yards)
went to Bob Thorne, one of his
two catches.

Albany’s special teams also
played well. Brian Cafalone
punted seven times with an aver-
age of 31.6 yards and King was
2-2 on extra points and added a
field. goal. However, King
missed three other attempts from
35, 41 and 37 yards out.

The mistakes that cost many
teams including the Danes are
usually basic mental errors. If
these mistakes are eliminated
Albany could be looking at a
very successful inaugural season
in Division II. They feel and
have proven to have the talent to
compete with these teams, as
long as they stay away from the
big mistakes.

The Danes look to improve to
2-1 at C.W. Post tomorrow. C.W.
Post, a 5—6 club last season, has
a 12-game home winning streak
dating back to the 1992 season.
The Pioneers went to the 1993
ECAC-IFC Division IT champi-
onship and are 1-0 this season.
This is the Danes third straight
test on a tough schedule. The
game begins at 1:00 p.m. tomor-
row.

Women’s field hockey records consecutive shutouts

Defense is impenetrable in wins against Va

By Eric DAGNALL
Senior Editor

The University at Albany
Women’s Field Hockey team
opened its second year of exis-
tence in impressive fashion.
Led by a blend of old and new
starters, the Lady Danes record-
ed consecutive shutouts against
two Division III teams.

The Lady Danes (2-0) hosted
Skidmore College September
13, and peppered shots at the
Lady Thoroughbreds goal in
posting a 4—0 victory.

It was the Danes defense that
was the collective Most Valu-
able players in the game as they
shut down the Skidmore offense
completely. The Lady Thor-
oughbreds weren’t able to get a
single shot on goal in the entire
game. This gave Albany goal-
tender Jessica Marucci practi-
cally a day off in net in getting
her second shutout of the sea-
son. .

Junior attacker Shannon Tan-
ner (from local Stillwater High
School) scored in the opening
three minutes to give the Lady
Danes their first goal in regula-

Volleyball

tion this season.

Tanner tallied her first goal of
the season on a scramble in
front of the goal. Mia Malan
drove a shot towards the-net
which Skidmore goalkeeper
Emily Boschen stopped but
Tanner was in the right place at
the right time to knock the ball
into the net.

Junior defender Amy Clark
gave Albany a two-goal lead 12
minutes into the second half.
Teammates Shannon Hartz and
Meredith Jackel increased the
Lady Danes’ advantage.

Skidmore (1-2) was outshot
19-0 as goalie Boschen was
barraged with 17 shots on goal
saving thirteen of them.

In. the season opener, played
September 7, freshman attacker
Nicole Berman scored with
7:22 remaining in overtime to
give Albany a 1-0 victory at
Vassar.

With 7:30 remaining in over-
time, Malan uncorked a shot
from 25 yards out hoping to
give the Lady Danes the victo-
ry. Vassar goalie Kelley Walsh
was in position to block the
shot for what she thought was

her 18th save. However,
Berman was standing on the
doorstep to redirect Malan’s
shot and stun the Vassar faith-
ful.

The goal would have been
moot if not for another incredi-
ble game from the Lady Dane
defense and a solid goaltending
performance from Marucci. The
defense stifled attack after
attack, allowing the Vassar
offense only two shots on goal.
Marucci easily made both of
them in recording the shutout.
Walsh had tough day in goal but
stood up to Albany’s barrage of
shots to turn aside 17 shots.

As well as the Lady Danes
are playing, the season is still
young. However, as long as the
defense remains impenetrable
the Lady Danes could well be
on their way to post season
play, a fine accomplishment for
a team playing in only their sec-
ond season.

The Lady Danes head to
Southern Connecticut State Sat-
urday 1 p.m. before coming
home to face off against cross
town rival Union on Albany
Field at 4 p.m.
